Prospects for Antisense Nucleic Acid Therapy of Cancer and AIDS

Intends to inform clinical investigators and biomedical researchers of the applications of a new technology which involves a direct genetic approach to the treatment of disease using nucleic acid therapeutics. The book discusses experimental clinical applications and therapeutic implications.

---

This study is designed to inform clinical investigators and biomedical researchers of the range of possible applications of a new technology which involves a direct genetic approach to the treatment of disease using nucleic acid therapeutics. These new DNA and RNA agents are intended to stop the growth of cancerous cells or to halt the production of HIV infected cells. The book details the rapid progress of this new technology from its theoretical stage to its current position at the verge of experimental clinical applications with provocative discussions of the therapeutic implications of the basic research.
