Figure 1
Figure 1 HCV 5’-non-coding region. The pseudonot region and stem loop IV including the start AUG are indicated in bold font as optimum target sequences for ODN binding.
Figure 2
Figure 2 Plasmid constructs to analyze inhibition of HCV translation in vitro (upper) and in vivo (lower). Expression is directed either by the T7-promoter or the CMV immediate early promoter.
Figure 3
Figure 3 Modified hammerhead RZ and HCV target sequence. The G16.2,C16.1, A17 recognition site (nts. 346-348), in which cleavage occurs, is marked by an arrow. All nucleotides are 2’-O-ally l-ribonucleotides except G5, A6, G8 and G12 (light gray), which are unmodified ribonucleotides. The position of the A to l exchange (medium gray) and the start AUG of the HCV template are indicated.
