Abstract
Oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs are provided which are capable of antisense interaction with messenger RNA of papillomavirus. Such oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide analogs can be used for diagnostics and therapeutics as well as for research purposes. In accordance with preferred embodiments of this invention, oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog is provided which is hybridizable with a messenger RNA from a papillomavirus. The oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog is able to inhibit the function of the RNA, and accordingly is useful for therapy for infections by such papillomavirus. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, portions of the papillomavirus are targeted for antisense attack. Thus oligonucleotides are preferably provided which hybridize with the E2, E1, E7, or E6-7 messenger RNAs.
