In vitro
Antisense oligonucleotide acts a complementary nucleotide to the messenger RNA of the major immediate-early region proteins of human cytomegalovirus, it disrupts the replication of the virus through an antisense mechanism[1].Fomivirsen is 21-mer phosphorothioate ASO with CpG motif near its 5? end, with the sequence 5?-GCG TTT GCT CTT CTT CTT GCG-3?, resulting in mRNA degradation by RNase H-mediated mechanism[2].Fomivirsen inhibits CMV replication in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and in human fibroblast cells (MRC-5 cells) in a dose-dependent manner. The mean IC 50 are 0.03 uM for RPE cells and 0.2 uM for MRC5 cells[1].

Related Product Information for Fomivirsen sodium biochemical
Fomivirsen sodium is an antisense 21 mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide. Fomivirsen is an antiviral agent that is used cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV) research, incluiding in AIDs. Fomivirsen sodium binds to and degrades the mRNAs encoding CMV immediate-early 2 protein (required for viral replication), thus providing bioactive effects for CMV retinitis by inhibition of virus proliferation.

Product Notes
The Fomivirsen sodium (Catalog #AAA227815) is a Biochemical and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Fomivirsen sodium, Biochemical" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
