CA 2550642

A method and oligonucleotide compound for inhibiting replication of a nidovirus in virus-infected animal cells are disclosed. The compound (i) has a nuclease-resistant backbone, (ii) is capable of uptake by the infected cells, (iii) contains between 8-25 nucleotide bases, and (iv) has a sequence capable of disrupting base pairing between the transcriptional regulatory sequences in the 5' leader region of the positive-strand viral genome and negative-strand 3' subgenomic region. In practicing the method, infected cells are exposed to the compound in an amount effective to inhibit viral replication.

La présente invention se rapporte à une méthode et à un composé oligonucléotidique permettant d'inhiber la réplication d'un nidovirus dans des cellules animales infectées par le virus. Le composé selon l'invention : (i) possède un squelette résistant aux nucléases ; (ii) peut être capté par les cellules infectées ; (iii) contient de 8 à 25 bases nucléotidiques ; et (iv) comporte une séquence pouvant interrompre l'appariement des bases entre les séquences régulatrices transcriptionnelles dans la séquence de tête 5' du génome viral de brin positif et la région subgénomique 3' de brin négatif. Lors de la mise en oeuvre de la méthode, les cellules infectées sont exposées à une dose du composé efficace pour inhiber la réplication virale.
