Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of quantitating mRNA capping efficiency, particularly mRNA synthesized in vitro. In some embodiments, methods according to the present invention comprise providing an mRNA sample containing capped and uncapped mRNA, providing a cap specific binding substance under conditions that permit the formation of a complex between the cap specific binding substance and the capped mRNA, and quantitatively determining the amount of the complex as compared to a control, thereby quantifying mRNA capping efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of delivering mRNA in vivo, including administering to a subject in need of delivery a composition comprising an mRNA encoding a protein, encapsulated within a liposome such that the administering of the composition results in the expression of the protein encoded by the mRNA in vivo, wherein the liposome comprises a cationic lipid of formula I-c: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of purifying messenger RNA (mRNA) including the steps of (a) precipitating mRNA from an impure preparation; (b) subjecting the impure preparation comprising precipitated mRNA to a purification process involving membrane filtration such that the precipitated mRNA is captured by a membrane; and (c) eluting the captured precipitated mRNA from the membrane by re-solubilizing the mRNA, thereby resulting in a purified mRNA solution. In some embodiments, a purification process involving membrane filtration suitable for the present invention is tangential flow filtration.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of purifying messenger RNA (mRNA) including the steps of subjecting an impure preparation comprising in vitro synthesized mRNA to a denaturing condition, and purifying the mRNA from the impure preparation from step (a) by tangential flow filtration, wherein the mRNA purified from step (b) is substantially free of prematurely aborted RNA sequences and/or enzyme reagents used in in vitro synthesis.
