Abstract:

A simple, efficient, and scalable manufacturing technique is required for developing siRNA-lipid nanoparticles (siRNA-LNP) for therapeutic applications. In this chapter we describe a novel microfluidic-based manufacturing process for the rapid manufacture of siRNA-LNP, together with protocols for characterizing the size, polydispersity, RNA encapsulation efficiency, RNA concentration, and total lipid concentration of the resultant nanoparticles.

Publication - Abstract

A High-throughput Galectin-9 Imaging Assay for Quantifying Nanoparticle Uptake, Endosomal Escape and Functional RNA Delivery

M.J. Munson, G. O'Driscoll, A.M. Silva, E. Lázaro-Ibáñez, A. Gallud, J.T. Wilson, A. Collén, E.K. Esbjörner and A. Sabirsh

RNA-based therapies have great potential to treat many undruggable human diseases. However, their efficacy, in particular for mRNA, remains hampered by poor cellular delivery and limited endosomal escape. Development and optimisation of delivery vectors, such as lipid nanoparticl...
