Template nicking reduces unwanted opposite-strand RNA production during in vitro transcription by displacing strands through R-loop formation
Updated
Abstract
Essence
A nicked DNA template strategy reduced immunogenic dsRNA byproducts while preserving IVT mRNA yield.
Evidence
Template-engineering experiments in T7 IVT and human cell assays tested NiLoT effects on dsRNA contamination, RNA yield, translation, and innate immune activation.
Caveat
The results are platform and cell-assay outcomes, so therapeutic performance and in vivo behavior remain untested in the abstract.
