Abstract

The present invention concerns an oligonucleotide compound, which comprises a ribozyme targeted to the GUA target site at nucleotide 5849 of the HIV-1 SF-2 isolate or a corresponding target site of other HIV-1 isolates. The invention also relates to transfer vectors comprised of RNA or DNA or a combination thereof which on transcription give rise to said compound, to cells comprising a nucleotide sequence which is, or on transcription gives rise to, said compound and to pharmaceutical compositions containing said compound or said transfer vector. <IMAGE>
