Abstract

Oligonucleotides, polynucleotides and derivatives thereof, such as defibrotide, are agents of genetic modulation at the levels of transcription, translation, secondary messengers and cellular signal transduction systems. Such agents can be used to treat HIV infection. Preferably, treatment involves modifying the dose of such agents in response to observed fluctuations (e.g., increase, decrease, appearance, disappearance) in normal, disease and repair markers.
