Title: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) ribozymes
Abstract:Enzymatic RNA molecules which cleave ICAM-1 mRNA.
Inventor(s): Grimm; Susan (Boulder, CO), Stinchcomb; Dan T. (Boulder, CO), McSwiggen; James (Boulder, CO), Sullivan; Sean (Boulder, CO), Draper; Kenneth G. (Boulder, CO)
Assignee: Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Boulder, CO)
Application Number:08/292,620
Patent Claims:1. An enzymatic RNA molecule which specifically cleaves intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) mRNA.

2. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in a hammerhead motif.

3. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in a hairpin, hepatitis delta virus, group 1 intron, or RNAseP RNA motif.

4. The enzymatic RNA molecule of any claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule comprises between 12 and 100 bases complementary to said mRNA.

5. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 4, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule comprises between 14 and 24 bases complementary to said mRNA.

6. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 2 consisting essentially of any sequence defined as Seq. ID. Nos. 767-1526 and 2012-2390.

7. A mammalian cell including an enzymatic RNA molecule of any of claims 1, 2 or 3.

8. The mammalian cell of claim 7, wherein said mammalian cell is a human cell.

9. An expression vector including nucleic acid sequence encoding at least one enzymatic RNA molecule of any of claims 1, 2 or 3, in a manner which allows expression of that enzymatic RNA molecule.

10. A mammalian cell including the expression vector of claim 9.

11. The mammalian cell of claim 10, wherein said mammalian cell is a human cell.

12. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 2, wherein the binding arms of said enzymatic RNA molecule comprise sequences complementary to any of the sequences defined as Seq. ID. Nos. 7-776 and 1633-2011.

13. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 3, wherein the binding arms of said hairpin enzymatic RNA molecule comprise sequences complementary to any of the sequences defined as Seq. ID. Nos. 1544-1560, 1578-1594 and 1614-1632.
