The invention relates to iRNA agents, which preferably include a monomer in which the ribose moiety has been replaced by a moiety other than ribose. The inclusion of such a monomer can allow for modulation of a property of the iRNA agent into which it is incorporated, e.g., by using the non-ribose moiety as a point to which a ligand or other entity, e.g., a lipophilic moiety. e.g., cholesterol, is directly, or indirectly, tethered. The invention also relates to methods of making and using such modified iRNA agents.
本发明涉及iRNA代理,其中最好包括一个单体,其中核糖基团已被除核糖外的其他基团所替代。包括这样一个单体可以允许调节所含iRNA代理的性质,例如,通过使用非核糖基团作为配体或其他实体(例如,亲脂性基团,例如胆固醇)的点来直接或间接地连接。本发明还涉及制备和使用这种改性iRNA代理的方法。
