Abstract

The present invention provides methods useful in autologous bone marrow transplantation and cancer therapy. According to one aspect of the invention, bone marrow cells from a patient having cancer are treated with selected antisense oligonucleotides in order to deplete the bone marrow of malignant cells prior to infusion back into the bone marrow donor. In a separate embodiment, selected antisense oligonucleotides are administered systemically for anticancer therapy.
