compound or a salt thereof, oligonucleotide analog, pharmaceutical composition, probe for a gene, primer to begin amplification, use of an oligonucleotide analog or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, antisense agent, and antigen agent
"compound or salt thereof, oligonucleotide analog, pharmaceutical composition, probe for a gene, primer to begin amplification, use of an oligonucleotide analog or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, antisense agent, and antigen agent". [subject] The object of the present invention is to provide novel oligonucleotide analogs which exhibit antisense or antigen activity having excellent stability, or exhibit excellent activity as a detection agent (probe) for a specific gene or as a primer to begin amplification, and to novel nucleoside analogues that are intermediate to their production.
