Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to decreasing the bioavailability of one or more target biomolecules by providing a composition that comprises a recombinant plasmid with one or more sequences of micro interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). When the recombinant plasmid interacts with a target cell, it causes the target cell to upregulate production of the miRNA, which then decreases the bioavailability of the target biomolecule. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a kinase.

Claims (2)

1 . A composition that comprises a recombinant plasmid (RP) comprising a sequence of nucleotides that is SEQ ID NO: 7.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the RP is encapsulated in a protein coat, a lipid vesicle, or any combination thereof.
