Abstract
The inhibition or control of expression of IL-2 or IL-2.alpha. genes, and the inhibition or control of fundamental cellular processes responsible for retroviral replication, in particular HIV-I and HTLV-I DNA molecules, are disclosed. The invention is directed to nucleic acids or nucleic acid compositions which competitively bind regions of the IL-2 or IL-2.alpha. genes corresponding to their respective transcription factors. DNA or RNA fragments spanning the following regions in the IL-2 gene are shown to be effective; -195 to -204; -115 to -164; and -165 to -222. DNA or RNA fragments spanning the following regions in the IL-2.alpha. gene are shown to be effective: -62 to -71; and -32 to -86. Compositions comprising combinations of these fragments are also disclosed.
