Patent ID: 8906876

Claim:
An isolated double stranded RNA molecule comprising annealed complementary strands, wherein at least one of said strands comprises a polyribonucleotide selected from the group consisting of: (i) polyribonucleotides complementary to at least 21 contiguous nucleotides of a target gene represented by SEQ ID NO: 2493 or SEQ ID NO: 11, or the complement thereof, (ii) polyribonucleotides complementary to at least 21 contiguous nucleotides of a target gene encoding the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2494, and (iii) polyribonucleotides having at least 85% sequence identity with the polyribonucleotides of (i) or (ii), wherein ingestion of said double stranded RNA molecule inhibits expression of said target gene.
