The goal was to jam the works by synthesizing an antisense strand of DNA to gum up the RNA section that codes for PKC-alpha.

FORBES: Antisense and Sensibility

The terms sense and antisense were coined by Paul Zamecnik to show the complementary, double-strand nature of DNA. One strand consisted of alternating patterns of the four nucleotides that make up DNA adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine and it could be read in order.
