Single-part positively charged lipids for delivering mRNA to spleen T cells throughout the body

Abstract

One-component ionizable cationic lipids can efficiently deliver mRNA to the spleen and T cells.

  • Targeted delivery to specific cell types in the spleen is crucial for mRNA immunotherapy.
  • Conventional lipid nanoparticles are limited in their ability to target liver and muscle tissues.
  • The newly designed cationic lipids, rich in secondary amines, serve as effective standalone carriers for mRNA.
  • In vitro and in vivo tests indicate high efficacy in delivering mRNA to T cell subsets after intravenous administration.
  • This approach may enhance the development of non-liver mRNA delivery systems, expanding options for immunotherapy.
