RNA Interference Case Study - activity
... two strands of the siRNA were separated so that one can bind to the mRNA transcript of the Fas gene. This caused the mRNA to be destroyed by enzymes, therefore preventing the gene product from being made. This therapy prevented liver cell death and considerably increased the survival of mice with ...
