Target sequence selection • Length: 19 basepairs • Original Tuschl rule of selecting N 19 immediately following a AA is not necessarily observed in our design • %GC content: 45 -55%, optimum 50% • Tm: 45 -65 o. C, optimum 55 o. C • Avoid AA at start and TT at end of sequence to prevent premature termination • BLAST to ensure specificity • We find selection of an effective target sequence to be arbitrary

Summary/Conclusions • We have established a flexible vector-based system for the development of effective si. RNAs against genes of interest to the Af. CS. • Expression of such si. RNAs from lentiviral vectors permits the transduction of hematopoietic cell lines. • WEHI 231 cells transduced with si. RNAs do not exhibit RNAimediated target knockdown. It remains unclear whether this is due to the si. RNAs not being expressed from pol III promoters, or the absence of the components of the RNAi machinery required to recognize the si. RNAs. • Vector-based RNAi was effective in six other cell lines tested by reporter assay: J 774 A. 1, RAW 264. 7, IC-21, N 1 E-115, 3 T 3 -L 1 and HEK 293. • Lentiviral-mediated RNAi was effective in both J 774 A. 1 and RAW 264. 7 cells
