Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP is a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) containing firefly luciferase mRNA. Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP exhibits a stable nanostructure, in which LNP plays a key role in effectively protecting and transporting mRNA to cells. Luciferase is a bioluminescent reporter gene for gene regulation and functional studies. Firefly Luciferase mRNA-LNP expresses firefly luciferase protein after entering the cells, which is often used for promoter activity detection or dual fluorescent molecular complementation experiments. Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP is studied in research for RNA delivery, cell viability, and translation efficiency.

    Description

    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP is a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) containing firefly luciferase mRNA. Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP exhibits a stable nanostructure, in which LNP plays a key role in effectively protecting and transporting mRNA to cells. Luciferase is a bioluminescent reporter gene for gene regulation and functional studies. Firefly Luciferase mRNA-LNP expresses firefly luciferase protein after entering the cells, which is often used for promoter activity detection or dual fluorescent molecular complementation experiments. Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP is studied in research for RNA delivery, cell viability, and translation efficiency[1][2].

    In Vitro

    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (5-20 ng, 24 h) significantly increases the transfection efficiency dose-dependently in HepG2 cells[3].

    In Vivo

    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (2 μg, i.v., single dose) allows total luminescent flux in C57BL/6 mice[3].
    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (1 μg, i.m., on day 1 and day 21) is formulated with either ALC-0315 or SM-102, and SM-102 has 60% higher expression level of luciferase protein than ALC-0315 and cKK-E12 in BALB/c mice[4].
    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (5-20 μg, i.m., single dose) induces activation of Aif1 in the hypothalamus but not in the prefrontal cortex of adult Balb/c male mice[5].
    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (5 μg, i.m./i.v./i.p./i.t., single dose) results in a large portion of the luciferase activity as well as high levels of protein production in the liver, and significant bioluminescent signal in lungs and muscles of BALB/c mouse model[6].
    Firefly luciferase mRNA-LNP (5 μg, i.d./s.c., single dose) results in protein production only at the site of injection in BALB/c mouse model[6].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Female BALB/c mice aged 6 weeks[1]
    Dosage: 0.1, 1.0, 5.0 μg
    Administration: Intradermal injection (i.d.)/Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)/Subcutaneous injection (s.c.)/Intramuscular injection (i.m.)/Intravenous injection (i.v.)/Intratracheal injection (i.t.)
    Result: Could not measure signal when mice were injected with 0.1 μg of mRNA-LNPs.
    Resulted in the highest amount of peak protein production and the shortest duration of expression with intravenous delivery.
    Did not result in measurable luciferase expression in the liver or other anatomical sites with subcutaneous delivery.
    Resulted in the longest duration of translation with intramuscular and intradermal delivery.
    Allowed saturation of the uptake or translational capacity of the intradermal space with intradermal delivery.
    Observed linear dose response with intravenous injection.
    Led to similar levels of peak translation at 4 h post injection with all three doses, but the increased doses extended the duration of translation from 5 (1.0 μg) to 10 (5.0 μg) days.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
