IVT Synthesis Services

By sending us the DNA plasmid or the gene sequence, Creative Biolabs can synthesize a high-quality mRNA depending on the customers' experimental purposes. IVT RNA synthesis requires DNA templates, enzymes, nucleotides, and buffer components. With the experience of the IVT system, Creative Biolabs can offer optimization of each reaction component and several internal epigenetic modifications to obtain high-yield synthesized IVT mRNA for our customers, including but not limited to:

  • Various grades and types of templates design (plasmid DNA, PCR products, and synthetic oligonucleotides)
  • Selection of the best-fit promoter system (such as T7)
  • Codon optimization
  • Optimization of 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR
  • Optimization of poly(A) length and 5' capping

Aiming for protein expression or translation process through synthesized mRNA, all these options are important for improved stability and translation efficiency. Moreover, we can also offer the modifications of mRNA after synthesis to achieve the specific requirements of our customers. To obtain a pristine IVT mRNA, we also offer the large-scale purification step (using PAGE or RP-HPLC methods) to remove the residual molecules, such as unreacted nucleotides, short oligonucleotides, enzyme proteins, and residual salts. These methods remove most of the unwanted byproducts and provide high-quality IVT mRNAs. Our IVT synthesis strategy is very suitable for particularly long mRNAs (such as those up to multiple kilobases), and our experts can design custom strategies to optimize the yield even for the most complicated custom mRNA production requirements.

In addition, we can also provide self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), which is an advanced form of RNA technology designed to enhance the expression of encoded proteins. Unlike conventional mRNA, saRNA includes additional sequences that allow it to replicate itself within the host cell, thereby amplifying the production of the target protein. This technology has significant implications for vaccine development, gene therapy, and protein production.

Published Data

This article focuses on improving the synthesis of high-integrity mRNA via in vitro transcription (IVT). The main challenge addressed is the generation of fragmented mRNA during the synthesis process, which impedes the efficacy of mRNA therapeutics. The study identifies specific domains in T7 RNA polymerase responsible for premature termination and mRNA fragmentation. By engineering T7 RNA polymerase mutants and optimizing IVT parameters, the researchers achieved mRNA integrity exceeding 91%. The research emphasizes the importance of full-length mRNA transcripts for effective in vivo expression and highlights strategies to reduce impurities, thereby enhancing the potential of mRNA-based therapies.
