  • Publication number: 20210338789
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for modified dendrimer nanoparticle (“MDNP”) delivery of therapeutic, prophylactic and/or diagnostic agent such as large repRNA molecules to the cells of a subject have been developed. MDNPs efficiently drive proliferation of antigen-specific T cells against intracellular antigen, and potentiate antigen-specific antibody responses. MDNPs can be multiplexed to deliver two or more different repRNAs to modify expression kinetics of encoded antigens and to simultaneous deliver repRNAs and mRNAs including the same UTR elements that promote expression of encoded antigens.

  • Publication number: 20170015994
    Abstract: Methods of transfecting cells in vivo, by administering an injectable pharmaceutical composition including a genome editing composition and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a subject by hydrodynamic injection into a vessel of the subject are disclosed. Typically, the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a volume and at rate of injection suitable to transfect target eukaryotic cells in the subject with an effective amount of the genome editing composition to alter the genome of the target cells. In preferred embodiments the subject is a mammal, such as rodent, or a primate such as a human. The methods can be used to treat one or more symptoms of a genetic disease or condition.
