Abstract

See full text

A fusion protein and process are provided by which double-stranded RNA containing small interfering RNA nucleotide sequences is introduced into specific cells and tissues. A cell surface receptor specific synthetic single chain variable domain (scFv) immunoglobulin fragment vehicle specific to a cell surface receptor of the cell and having a cell surface receptor specific binding site is provided. An RNA binding protein fused to said scFv is adsorbed with a double-stranded RNA or to a small hairpin RNA sequence complementary to a nucleotide sequence of a target gene in the cell and includes a small interfering RNA operative to suppress production of a target cellular protein. The scFv induces internalization into said cell of the fusion protein subsequent to the binding of said scFV to the cell surface receptor of the target cell.
