Inactive modified duplexes do not compete for target sites. Western analysis showing no competition between native agRNAs and inactive modified duplexes applied to cells in two transfections 4 days apart. (A) Native PR-9 silences gene expression equally effectively whether it is transfected before or after an inactive chemically modified duplex (or negative control). (B) Native PR-11 activates gene expression equally effectively whether it is transfected before or after an inactive chemically modified duplex.
