Application of Locked Nucleic Acid Oligonucleotides for siRNA Preclinical Bioanalytics.

Despite the exquisite potential of siRNA as a therapeutic, the mechanism(s) responsible for the robust indirect exposure-response relationships have not been fully elucidated. To understand the siRNA properties linked to potent activity, requires the disposition of siRNA to be characterized. A technical challenge in the characterization is the detection and quantitation of siRNA from biological samples.
