General description

Maleimide lipid mix for gene delivery and targeted delivery
The NanoFabTx gene delivery maleimide lipid mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of maleimide-functionalized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).These lipid nanoparticles can be used for targeting and immunotherapy applications, and nucleic acid encapsulation.

This product is a curated lyophilized lipid mixture of rationally selected lipids in precise ratios that have been optimized to achieve a desired size range of lipid nanoparticles. Step-by-step protocols for the synthesis of maleimide-functionalized LNPs by microfluidics with the NanoFabTx microfluidic- nano device kit (Cat. No. 911593) or nanoprecipitiation are included.

Maleimide-functionalized LNPs are particularly advantageous for gene delivery because the maleimide functional group enables the conjugation of thiol-containing antibodies, proteins, aptamers, or other molecules to the lipid nanoparticle surface. This can be used for multi-targeting or multi-type cargo delivery to different cell types including immune cells, making it advantageous for many different therapuetic applications including mRNA vaccine delivery and oncology.

Application

With the NanoFabTx gene delivery maleimide lipid mix, researchers can simplify their drug development workflow. The ready to use mix enables the screening of different drug modalities such as oligonucleotides, nucleic acids (mRNA, DNA, siRNA), and vaccines without the need to develop new drug delivery formulations from scratch, ultimately speeding up the time it takes for innovative therapeutics to go from the bench to the clinic. The maleimide-functionalized surface of the LNP can be used to conjugate to many different thiol-containing biomolecules for active targeting. This ready-to-use lipid mix can also be used to screen different targeting moieties to determine what works best for your therapuetic and application. In addition, the lipid mix has been carefully crafted for enhanced gene delivery.
