A 'senseless' immune response to DNAJeffrey T. HoltDepartments of Cell Biology and Pathology Vanderbilt University Medical School Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA Antisense oligonucleotides can have dramatic effects, but a recent paper suggests that the mechanism isn't always based on nucleotide sequence interactions.
