Product Description:
The INCOGNITO™ T7 5mC- & Ψ-RNA Transcription Kit is optimized for high-yield synthesis of 5-methyl-cytidine- and pseudouridine-containing RNA (5mCΨ-RNA) from an in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction. Although yield varies with the DNA template and other factors, a standard two hour, 20 μl reaction will yield up to 100 μg of RNA from 1 μg of the control template thanks to the high-performance properties of the T7-Scribe™ enzyme. The standard reaction can be scaled up to produce milligram amounts of RNA containing the canonical nucleotides ATP and GTP and the modified nucleotides pseudouridine-5'-triphosphate (ΨTP) and 5-methyl-cytidine-5’-triphosphate (5mCTP).
Modified 5mCΨ-mRNAs translate into higher protein levels and lower innate immune responses in human and other mammalian cells that express various RNA sensors compared to unmodified mRNAs.
INCOGNITO™ T7 IVT 5mCΨ-RNA can be further processed into low immunogenicity mRNA (5'-end capped and 3'-end poly[A] tailed) through the use of CELLSCRIPT™'s ScriptCap™ Cap 1 Capping System (contains both ScriptCap™ Capping Enzyme and 2'-O-Methyltransferase) and A-Plus™ Poly(A) Polymerase Tailing Kit (available separately).
For maximum reduction of immunogenicity, combine INCOGNITO™ 5mCΨ-mRNA with the Min-Immune™ Gold dsRNA Removal Kit to produce virtually dsRNA-free, ultra-low immunogenicity mRNA that is suitable for downstream applications, such as cell and gene therapy research and mRNA vaccine development.
