The INCOGNITO™ T7 mScript™ Complete Ψ-mRNA Production System provides all enzymes and enzyme-related reagents for making pseudouridine (Ψ)-containing, 5'-capped, 3'-polyadenylated mRNA with greatly reduced double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) content, lower than what can be achieved with special T7 RNA polymerase mutants.  The kit includes modules for (i) in vitro transcription of linear double-stranded DNA templates using the T7 mScript™ Enzyme Solution, the canonical nucleotides ATP, CTP, GTP and the modified nucleotide pseudouridine-5'-triphosphate (ΨTP), (ii) enzymatic capping of the RNA using the ScriptCap™ Cap 1 Capping System (contains both ScriptCap™ Capping Enzyme and 2'-O-Methyltransferase) for making mRNA with a Cap 1 cap structure, (iii) A-Plus™ Poly(A) Polymerase for adding a 3'-poly(A) tail, (iv) enzymatic removal of dsRNA content using the Min-Immune™ Gold dsRNA Removal system and (v) 5 M NH₄OAc as a convenient RNA/mRNA purification method.

Post-transfection, capped and tailed mRNA has increased stability and translation efficiency in most eukaryotic cell lines.  The mScript™ System improves upon existing capping methods by ensuring virtually 100% transcript capping, all caps in the proper orientation and the ability to produce large amounts of capped RNA at a reasonable cost.  The mScript™ System uses post-transcriptional poly(A) tailing allowing the user to define their desired tail length.  In this way, poly(A) tails can be generated much longer than is possible co-transcriptionally using a template-encoded tail.  mRNAs with longer poly(A) tails are expressed for longer periods of time in cells.  It has been shown that Ψ-mRNAs are translated into protein at higher levels and induce lower innate immune responses in human and other mammalian cells that express various RNA sensors compared to corresponding unmodified mRNAs.^1-6  Additionally, the removal of dsRNA from mRNA preparations has been shown to be essential for reducing the innate immunogenic response to the mRNA in cells.^7-10  Alternative dsRNA removal methods, such as reverse-phase HPLC¹¹, hydroxyapatite chromatography¹² and cellulose chromatography¹³, are associated with high capital costs as well as reduced final product yields.  The Min-Immune™ Gold dsRNA Removal system provides an easy-to-use method for removing the dsRNA content of mRNA preps without a reduction of the single-stranded mRNA yield.  INCOGNITO™ Complete Ψ-mRNA is suitable for use in transfection and microinjection experiments as well as in vitro translation systems.
