Clipos™ CCL-2 Mutant mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles
Specifications
Description
|
CCL2 (Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2), commonly known as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), belongs to a family of secreted proteins involved in immune regulatory and inflammatory processes. Mature wild-type CCL2 protein has a full length of 76 amino acids, and its N-terminal residues are crucial in activating the CCL2 signaling pathway. The CCL2 mutant (9-76 amino acids), also known as 7ND, is a deletion of the first 8 residues of wild-type CCL2, which can bind to the C-C chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR4 on the surface of monocytes, but cannot activate the down-regulated pathway. Therefore, the CCL2 mutant can be used as an inhibitory form of wild-type CCL2 to block the C-C chemokine receptors of CCL2 and inhibit unwanted monocyte/macrophage recruitment. This product is designed as a tool for the delivery and expression of the mutant CCL2 mRNA for research. The product leverages the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology platform for simple and efficient delivery of CCL-2 mutant mRNA to a variety of mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo. The LNPs used are formulated with SM-102, DSPC, cholesterol and DMG-PEG2000 at an optimal molar concentration for a high rate of encapsulation and efficient mRNA delivery. mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticle, primarily in PBS(-Ca, -Mg) (pH: 7.0-7.4). |

Technical Notes
|
Work with mRNA-LNP on ice. It is important to minimize the time that the product spends at room temperature; after handling product during experiments, return immediately to ice.Upon receiving product, briefly pulse spin before opening to ensure product is at bottom of container; it is important not to spin for too long as this may rupture mRNA-LNP’s. Do not vortex. mRNA-LNP products should only be handled with certified RNAase-free reagents and consumables; use of filtered pipette tips is highly recommended |
