Claims
- 1. An enzymatic nucleic acid molecule that specifically cleaves RNA derived from hepatitis B virus (HBV), wherein said enzymatic nucleic acid molecule comprises sequence defined as Seq. ID No. 6346.
- 2. A method of administering to a cell an enzymatic nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 independently or in conduction with other therapeutic compounds comprising contacting said cell with the enzymatic nucleic acid molecule under conditions suitable for said administration.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said other therapeutic compound is type I interferon.
- 4. The method of claim 2, wherein said other therapeutic compound is 3TC® (Lamivudine).
- 5. The method of claim 2, wherein said other therapeutic compound and the enzymatic nucleic acid molecule are administered simultaneously.
- 6. The method of claim 3, wherein said other therapeutic compound and enzymatic nucleic acid molecule are administered separately.
- 7. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is interferon alpha.
- 8. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is interferon beta.
- 9. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is consensus interferon.
- 10. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is polyethylene glycol interferon.
- 11. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is polyethylene glycol interferon alpha 2a.
- 12. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is polyethylene glycol interferon alpha 2b.
- 13. The method of claim 3, wherein said type I interferon is polyethylene glycol consensus interferon.
- 14. The method of claim 2, wherein said cell is a mammalian cell.
- 15. The method of claim 14, wherein said cell is a human cell.
- 16. The method of claim 14, wherein said administration is in the presence of a delivery reagent.
- 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said delivery reagent is a lipid.
- 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said lipid is a cationic lipid.
- 19. The method of claim 17, wherein said lipid is a phospholipid.
- 20. The method of claim 16, wherein said delivery reagent is a liposome.
