May guide antisense oligonucleotide design for HSV1/CVB3; leaves open in vivo efficacy and clinical translation.
Phosphothioate internucleotide linkages enhance the antiviral activity of antisense oligonucleotides against HSV1 and CVB3 in vitro.
Birch‐Hirschfeld et al. (1997) studied Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV1) and Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection. Antisense oligonucleotides with phosphothioate internucleotide linkages was evaluated on Antiviral activity. Antisense oligonucleotides carrying exclusively phosphothioate internucleotide linkages demonstrated the highest antiviral activity against HSV1 and CVB3 in cell cultures.
