“…Others have had less success in delivering antisense oligonucleotides into the skin, and this may be a function of the formulations that were used (Wraight and White, 2001). For example, we examined the influence of vehicle on the transdermal delivery of several PMO with different sizes, lengths, base compositions, sequences, and lipophilicities, and showed that the combination of sequence and formulation could modulate penetration through the skin (Pannier et al, 2004). We have also shown that some sequences can be more effective as topical agents because they interact with keratinocytes better than others (Brand et al, 1997).…”
