Short-hairpin RNAs synthesized by T7 phage polymerase do not induce interferon

RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is a highly effective gene-silencing mechanism with great potential for gene-therapeutic applications. siRNA agents also exert non-target-related biological effects and toxicities, including immune-system stimulation. Specifically,...
