RNAi Effects
Local administration
Suppression of gene expression of subcutaneous tumor in mice

When luciferase siRNA (Luc siRNA) was administered using "AteloGene®" against luciferase-expressing tumor cells that were subcutaneously grafted, the luciferase expression was more inhibited compared with the result observed after the administration of Luc siRNA alone.
Systemic administration
Suppression of gene expression of generalized metastasized tumors in mice

When luciferase siRNA (Luc siRNA) was administered using "AteloGene®" against luciferase-expressing generalized metastasized tumor cells, the luciferase expression was more inhibited compared with the result observed after the administration of Luc siRNA alone.
