Patent number: 11912982Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to liquid chromatography (e.g., HPLC) methods which enable high resolution separations of polynucleotides having hydrophobic portions (e.g., polyadenylated nucleic acids, such as mRNA) based upon the hydrophobic character of the molecules (e.g., polyA tail length). In some embodiments, the disclosure describes liquid chromatographic methods for separating a nucleic acid having a hydrophobic portion (e.g., a polyadenylated nucleic acid, such as an mRNA) from a complex mixture by a mobile phase system that comprises an ion pairing agent selected from Tris, inorganic cations (including e.g., Na, Li, K, ammonium, etc.), biological buffers (e.g., MOPS, HEPES, PIPES, etc.), and other charged or hydrophilic moieties, and lacks conventional ion pairing agents (e.g., Triethylammonium acetate, TEAA). Accordingly, in some embodiments methods described by the disclosure are useful for assessing the quality of pharmaceutical preparations comprising nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: ModernaTX, Inc.Inventors: William Issa, Meredith Packer

Patent number: 11866696Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to liquid chromatography (e.g., HPLC) methods which enable high resolution separations of polynucleotides of various lengths, sequences, and/or base compositions in a highly tunable manner. In some embodiments, the disclosure describes liquid chromatographic methods for separating a nucleic acid (e.g., a polyadenylated nucleic acid, such as an mRNA) from a complex mixture by using multiple ion pairing agents in the same mobile phase system. Accordingly, in some embodiments methods described by the disclosure are useful for assessing the quality of pharmaceutical preparations comprising nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: ModernaTX, Inc.Inventors: William Issa, Meredith Packer

Publication number: 20220096522Abstract: The invention relates to improved RNA compositions for use in therapeutic applications. The RNA compositions are particularly suited for use in human therapeutic application (e.g., in RNA therapeutics). The RNA compositions are made by inproved processes, in particular, improved in vitro-transcription (IVT) processes. The invention also relates to methods for producing and purifying RNA (e.g, therapeutic RNAs), as well as methods for using the RNA compositions and therapeutic applications thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: ModernaTX, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Hoge, William Issa, Edward J. Miracco, Jennifer Nelson, Amy E. Rabideau, Gabor Butora
