The aim of the research was to investigate the ability of new complexes as specific single-stranded oligonucleotides ? ODN ? with   dimethylaminomethylmethacrylate ? DMAEM ? based polymer carriers to inhibit the expression of the physiological prion. It has been established that the introduction of complexes of newly synthesized carriers based on dimethylaminomethyl methacrylate - PEG-DMAEM-MP-27 (magnetic particles) (MP-27), PEG- DMAEM-MP-2 (MP-2), PEG- DMAEM-MP-3 (MP-3)  with as ODH into the organism of rats leads to a decrease in the physiological prion content in the tissues of the spleen and small intestine. The influence of complexes of newly synthesized carriers  MP-27, MP-2 and MP-3 with as specific single-stranded oligonucleotides ODH on hematological and biochemical blood parameters of  Wistar rats was also studied.

Key words: prion infections, antisense-oligonucleotides, polymeric carriers.
