10 mM citrate aqueous phase, pH 4; final dialysis into PBS at 4 degrees C overnight
Linear or circular luciferase mRNA, depending on the experiment
Intravenous tail-vein injection
0.25 mg mRNA/kg for the reported luciferase-expression study
C57BL/6 mice
Aqueous mRNA and ethanolic lipids were combined at 3:1 v/v by hand mixing or microfluidic mixing. Final mRNA concentration was 0.1 mg/mL; the article does not assign one mixing mode or report device and flow settings for every experiment.

Additional reported findings

Primary human T-cell transfection

More than 80% of primary human T cells were GFP-positive at tested doses of at least 0.5 micrograms mRNA per 100,000 cells.

GFP mRNA; 40 h; n=3 · Main Figure 2C and Supplementary Figure S1D
Circular CAR-mRNA expression persistence

Displayed GFP-positive fractions for circular versus linear mouse-uPAR CAR mRNA were 99.7% versus 86.5% on day 1, 97.4% versus 7.5% on day 2, 94.3% versus 5.0% on day 3 and 17.1% versus 4.6% on day 5.

Preclinical liver-fibrosis study

Circular mouse-uPAR CAR mRNA/PL40 reduced serum ALT, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase staining, collagen coverage and hepatic uPAR relative to PBS in the reported CCl4 model.

30 micrograms mRNA per mouse, IV every four days for four doses; endpoint day 15 · Main Figure 5 and Supplementary Figure S13
Preclinical collagen-induced-arthritis study

Six IV doses reduced the final clinical score and paw thickness and improved histologic endpoints relative to untreated or vehicle groups in the reported mouse model.

Reported short-term tolerability

After a single 1.5 mg/kg IV dose, the study reported no major liver or spleen histologic injury and no significant ALT, AST, BUN or creatinine flags through day 11; some hematology indices fluctuated during the first three days but were described as within normal ranges.
