We tested the impact of antisense RNA and DNA molecules on SV40 gene expression by microinjection into TC7 cells. Short antisense stretches, complementary to either hairpin or loop structures on the T antigen mRNA, inhibited T antigen synthesis. In contrast, full-length antisense RNA and DNA molecules did not effect T antigen synthesis.
