SELECTIVE ANTISENSE COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF
The present invention provides oligomeric compounds. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in selective modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of a target Huntingtin gene or Huntingtin transcript in a cell.

Phosphoramidite synthones for the synthesis of self-neutralizing oligonucleotide compounds
Compositions and compounds of nucleoside phosphoramidites and modified oligonucleotides, each comprising one or more charge-neutralizing moieties according to the formula V ##STR00001##
The nucleoside phosphoramidites permit facile attachment of the neutralizing moieties on the backbones of the modified oligonucleotides. The modified oligonucleotides can be used as therapeutic agents (i.e., oligotherapeutics) for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, genetic diseases, infectious diseases, neurological diseases, inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases and others.

Thrombus imaging aptamers and methods of using same
Provided herein are imaging agents, antidotes to the imaging agents and methods of using the same to image a thrombus or blood clot or thrombin including sites of thrombin accumulation and to diagnose and treat thrombosis. The imaging agents include an aptamer capable of binding the thrombus or thrombin in particular linked to a reporter moiety. The imaging agents may be used to label the thrombus or sites of thrombin accumulation. Antidotes capable of binding to the aptamer in the imaging agent are also provided. The antidotes may further be linked to a quencher capable of quenching the reporter moiety.
