  • Patent number: 12396961
    Abstract: The disclosure features amino lipids and compositions involving the same. Nanoparticle compositions include an amino lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, PEG lipids, or a combination thereof. Nanoparticle compositions further including therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2025
    Assignee: ModernaTX, Inc.
    Inventors: Kerry E. Benenato, William Butcher
  • Publication number: 20240318187
    Abstract: The invention related to polyribonucleotides comprising an open reading frame of linked nucleosides encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g., a therapeutic polypeptide), isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising the polypeptide. In some embodiments, the open reading frame is sequence-optimized. In particular embodiments, the invention provides sequence-optimized polyribonucleotides comprising nucleotides encoding the sequence of the polypeptide of interest, or sequence having high sequence identity with those sequence optimized polyribonucleotides.
