Inclusion of three abasic residues at positions 1–3 (3aba) of the guide strand decreases the in vitro mRNA knockdown of both duplex and single strands of ApoB siRNAs. Ribose (2'OH, ‘r’) and fluoro (2'F, ‘f’) oligos with phosphate (5'p) are compared to those containing 3aba for (A) ApoB (8786) and (B) ApoB (6981). Abasic (3aba) data for additional ApoB and SSB siRNAs are shown in Supplementary Figure S3.
