Abstract: Disclosed are messenger RNA molecules and related compositions incorporating a 4?-thio modification in the furanose ring of at least one nucleotide residue, and methods of using these mRNAs to produce an encoded therapeutic protein in vivo and to treat or prevent diseases or disorders. In certain embodiments, the 4?-thio modified mRNA provides for enhanced stability and/or reduced immunogenicity in in vivo therapies.
Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions of formulating nucleic acid-containing nanoparticles for efficient delivery of payload in vivo such that the method and compositions can be used to generate mRNA vaccines.
