Reported observation

Literature-reported Formulation properties About 86% encapsulation; 89 nm; PDI 0.12 30 mg scale; 60/35/5 mol%; N/P 4 Paragraphs [0251]-[0252]

Reported observation

Literature-reported Scale examples 85-97% encapsulation and 50-89 nm across selected examples N/P 4; scale and cargo varied Paragraphs [0249]-[0262]

Reported observation

Literature-reported Pulmonary hCFTR protein Detected in bronchial epithelial and alveolar regions Rodent lung, 24 h after intratracheal aerosol or nebulization Paragraphs [0264]-[0281], Figs. 1-6

Reported observation

Literature-reported Expression time course Strongest staining at 24-72 h; detectable signal reported to 28 days in the rat dose study Single pulmonary exposure Paragraphs [0292]-[0299], Figs. 10-13

Reported observation

Three-component architecture The repeated examples use ICE, DOPE and DMG-PEG2000 without a separate cholesterol helper lipid. The first rapid-injection paragraph contains an inconsistent mention of cholesterol while giving only the three-part 60:35:5 ratio; the repeated pump examples resolve the operational composition. · Paragraphs [0246]-[0259]

Reported observation

Respiratory observation In the reported rat comparison, ICE-CFTR mRNA formulations did not increase respiratory rate or lung weight relative to buffer, unlike the branched-PEI comparator. Single-dose inhalation patent example; group sizes were not stated in the reviewed text. · Paragraph [0300], Fig. 14
