How Our mRNA-LNP Is Made

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are nanoscale lipid-based particles used as delivery vehicles for drugs, including mRNA. LNP-based methods are the most popular for mRNA delivery, offering benefits such as enhanced stability, improved delivery efficiency, reduced immunogenicity, customizability, and a proven clinical success record. These advantages make LNPs a promising tool for the development of safe and effective mRNA-based treatments and vaccines.

PackGene’s workflow is designed to ensure efficiency, reproducibility, and full traceability for regulatory submission.

Custom mRNA production using in vitro transcription (IVT) is a proven method for synthesizing high-quality RUO mRNA and GMP mRNA from plasmid DNA templates. PackGene’s IVT process incorporates a promoter sequence, the gene of interest, and a poly(A) tail, streamlining mRNA manufacturing while ensuring consistency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness for research, preclinical, and clinical applications.

PackGene’s quality control (QC) testing of mRNA-LNPs includes measurement of various parameters to ensure their quality, safety, and efficacy. Some of the essential QC tests for mRNA LNP are encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and uniformity:

Encapsulation Efficiency (EE)

EE measures the percentage of mRNA encapsulated within LNPs, essential for effective delivery.

Encapsulation Efficiency (EE) = (Amount of encapsulated mRNA / Total amount of mRNA) x 100%

For example, if 1 mg of mRNA yields 0.8 mg encapsulated, EE = 80%. High EE ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Particle Size

Particle size impacts biodistribution, cellular uptake, and stability. Larger particles may aggregate, increasing toxicity. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is commonly used to measure size.

Size Distribution and Uniformity

A narrow size distribution enhances stability and consistency, while variability may lead to toxicity. Methods like DLS and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) assess these parameters.

These tests are critical for ensuring safe, effective LNP-based mRNA delivery.

Applications of LNPs

  • Increased Stability
  • Enhanced Delivery
  • Reduced Immunogenicity
  • Customization
  • Clinical Success

LNPs protect mRNA from degradation by enzymes and other factors in the body, enhancing its stability and improving delivery to target cells.

LNPs enhance the efficient uptake of mRNA by cells, resulting in higher protein expression levels. They also enable targeted delivery of mRNA to specific cells, such as immune or tumor cells, through cell-type specific endocytosis mechanisms.

LNPs can lower the immunogenicity of mRNA by protecting it from the immune system and preventing the activation of innate immune responses. This enhances the safety and efficacy of mRNA-based therapies and vaccines.

The composition of LNPs can be tailored to enhance properties like stability, delivery efficiency, and immunogenicity. This enables customization for specific applications, such as vaccines or therapies aimed at particular diseases.

LNPs have been used successfully in the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, showing high efficacy and safety in clinical trials. This success has increased interest in the use of LNPs for other mRNA-based therapies and vaccines.

Encapsulation Efficiency93.91%

The Z-average diameter of nanoparticles is determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), which measures the Brownian motion of particles in solution. By analyzing light scattering fluctuations, the size distribution of the particles is calculated. The Z-average diameter is the intensity-weighted mean size, with larger particles contributing more to the value. This parameter, typically reported in nanometers (nm), reflects the overall size of the particle population. PackGene guarantees an mRNA-LNP Z-average diameter of <120 nm and an encapsulation efficiency of >90%.

The polydispersity index (PDI) measures the size uniformity of nanoparticles. A low PDI value indicates a narrow size distribution, while a high PDI suggests greater size variability. In mRNA delivery, a low PDI is desirable for improved stability, efficacy, and safety. PackGene guarantees a PDI of <0.2 for its mRNA-LNP products, ensuring consistency and high quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PackGene co-encapsulate both gene-editing mRNA and sgRNA in LNP? Which LNP formulation should be used?

Yes, we can co-encapsulate gene-editing mRNA and sgRNA in LNP. We have successfully co-encapsulated SpCas9 mRNA with sgRNA, achieving robust gene-editing efficiency in Huh7 cells. We recommend using the LP01 LNP formulation, and we will provide updates as we test other formulations.

How much mRNA in LNP is needed for mouse injections?

The amount of mRNA depends on the desired expression level and target cells or tissues. For mouse injections, we have tested 0.5 mg of FLuc or EGFP mRNA in LNP per kg of mouse body weight, yielding strong expression. For specific genes, it’s best to try a few different doses to optimize the amount.

What is the concentration of mRNA in LNP?

Our standard mRNA concentration in LNP is 0.2 mg/mL, but we can increase this to 2 mg/mL. If higher concentrations are needed, please contact our technical support team.

Q: How should I store and handle mRNA in LNP?

mRNA-LNP can be stored at -80°C for up to 2 years. However, mRNA-LNP is highly sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles, which can compromise its ability to transduce cells or tissues. To avoid this, please inform us of your preferred aliquot sizes. Our pre-aliquoted mRNA-LNP kits come in volumes of 10 µL or 50 µL.
