Initiation of protein synthesis on the hepatitis C virus (HCV) mRNA involves a structured element corresponding to the 5' untranslated region and constituting an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). The domain IIId of the HCV IRES, an imperfect RNA hairpin extending from nucleotides 253 to 279 of the viral mRNA, has been shown to be essential for translation and for the binding of the 40S ribosomal subunit. We investigated the properties of a series of antisense 2'-O-methyloligoribonucleotides targeted to various portions of the domain IIId. Several oligomers, 14-17 nt in length, selectively inhibited in vitro translation of a bicistronic RNA construct in rabbit reticulocyte lysate with IC(50)s
