Abstract

Oligonucleotides are provided having a nucleotide sequence complementary to at least a portion of the mRNA transcript of the human c-myb gene. These "antisense" oligonucleotides are hybridizable to the c-myb mRNA transcript. Such oligonucleotides are useful in treating hematologic neoplasms and in inducing immunosuppression. They are particularly useful as bone marrow purging agents.
