TNT-b10
Formulation & Performance

This edition organizes the previously reviewed, source-linked product record. It is not a new independent review of every paper or supporting file. Reported and calculated values retain their original labels.

Reported total90Source values retained
Formulation calculator unavailable. The paper prints the initial TNT-b10/DOPE/cholesterol/DMG-PEG2000 ratio as 20/30/40/0 (sum 90 mol%) and separately prints F25 and O-TNT-b10 ratios. Because the source does not define a missing component or a normalization basis, the fixed calculator is disabled. Obtain and verify the complete composition and component molecular weights before planning component quantities.
Not reported in the cited article
The accessible article does not provide a complete formulation-buffer pH for the initial LLN preparation; formaldehyde pH 7.4 used for a separate assay must not be treated as the encapsulation buffer.
Firefly luciferase (FLuc) mRNA; fluorescently labeled RNA for uptake imaging.
In-vitro Hep3B cell delivery and in-vivo mouse administration.
In vitro dose series 25, 50, 100 and 200 ng/well for O-TNT-b10; in vivo FLuc mRNA LLNs at 0.5 mg/kg.
Hep3B cells and mice.
TNT-b10, phospholipid and cholesterol were dissolved in ethanol and mixed with an aqueous mRNA phase using a NanoAssemblr microfluidic device; exact flow rates are not reported in the accessible main article.

Additional reported findings

Local structural transformation

The paper attributes the higher activity of TNT-b10 over TNT-a10 to changing the positions of the hydroxyl and amino groups; this is a matched structural comparison under the study's formulation conditions.

Organ distribution

The optimized PEGylated formulation produced strong liver and spleen signal, with a spleen-biased signal after IV administration.
