A process is provided to deliver small interfering RNA to cells in vivo for the purpose of inhibiting gene expression in that cell. The small interfering RNA is less than 50 base-pairs in length. This process is practiced on post-embryonic animals. Inhibition is sequence-specific and relies on sequence identity of the small interfering RNA and the target nucleic acid molecule.
提供了一种将小干扰 RNA 运送到体内细胞以抑制细胞中
基因表达的方法。小干扰 RNA 的长度小于 50 个碱基对。这种方法适用于胚后动物。抑制作用具有序列特异性,依赖于小干扰 RNA 和目标核酸分子的序列同一性。
