Generating high quality mRNA-LNP complexes for in vivo delivery: strategies and methods

Thursday, May 29, 2025 - 9:30 IST | 12:00 SGT | 13:00 KST, JST | 14:00 AEST

The production of high-quality mRNA for therapeutic applications presents several challenges, including yield limitation, low capping efficiency, stability concerns, and immunogenicity issues. In fact, crude mRNA preparations can trigger transient inflammatory responses, complicating their use in clinical settings.

In this expert webinar, we will discuss the latest advancements in mRNA synthesis, purification, and delivery technologies that are helping to overcome these barriers. This session will provide a practical walkthrough of using the mMESSAGE mMACHINE T7 mRNA Kit with CleanCap Reagent AG to achieve efficient co-transcriptional capping and generate high-yield, high-purity mRNA with minimal immunogenic contaminants.

You’ll also discover how Vivofectamine delivery solutions are utilized to encapsulate mRNA into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for stable and targeted in vivo delivery. We’ll highlight methods to assess the performance, expression, and immunogenic profile of these mRNA-LNP complexes through in vitro and in vivo assays, including luciferase reporter expression in mouse models.

Key learning objectives:

  • Learn key steps in mRNA synthesis and purification
  • Discover basic concepts and components in the formulation of LNPs
  • Gain practical insights and protocols to enhance the efficacy and safety of mRNA-based treatments

Who should attend?

Researchers and professionals involved in mRNA therapeutics or applications.
