| Bioactivity | FITC-labeled Drisapersen is Drisapersen labeled with FITC. Drisapersen, a antisense oligonucleotide, induces exon 51 skipping during dystrophin pre-mRNA splicing and allows synthesis of partially functional dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with amenable mutations. |
