Accelerate RNA-based Therapeutic Development

IVT Ready DNA templates with varied codon usage, UTRs, and poly(A) tail formats help identify mRNA candidates with enhanced expression and stability. Early discovery screens a broad range of constructs to find leads for optimization. Fast access to diverse complex DNA is essential—especially for time-sensitive applications like pandemic-response or personalized cancer vaccines.

Prophylactic Vaccines
Evaluate and select from more mRNA designs faster. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA enables rapid mRNA screening, selection, and iteration—without the delays, variability, and endotoxin risks associated with plasmid-derived templates. Effectively prioritize leads to ensure the timely development of vaccines in response to infectious diseases.

Protein Replacement Therapy
ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA enables fast and reliable mRNA production for therapeutic protein expression, without the complexity or cost of protein manufacturing or the risks of gene integration. Developers can accelerate timelines and deliver safer, more effective protein replacement therapies faster.

Personalized Cancer Vaccines
Rapidly test longer, polycistronic, and more complex neoantigen sequences without ever touching a cell. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA enables swift, reliable, and scalable production of mRNA sequences with greater stability and translation efficiency. Developers can refine their vaccines while tumor profiles remain actionable.

Cell Therapies & Genome Editing
Utilize IVT Ready DNA for next-generation cell therapies, such as mRNA-based CAR-T cells for cancer and autoimmune diseases. Leverage the large capacity of ENFINIA templates to encode genome editing modalities—such as Cas9 and base editors—for correcting genetic diseases and engineering the genome in vivo.

Elevate mRNA Performance with ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA

Elevated mRNA Yields Achieved Using IVT Ready Templates
IVT Templates Generate mRNA with High Structural Integrity
IVT reactions using ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA yielded higher mRNA levels compared to linearized plasmid templates at an input of 500 ng DNA. Bars represent mean ± SEM, n = 6.

*Elegen’s QC methods currently used for ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA may not reliably measure homopolymer sequences longer than 10 bp, except for the poly(A) tail. An accepted sequence containing a homopolymer that is longer than 10 bp may contain molecules where the homopolymer is shorter or longer than expected.

Specifications

  1. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA can be ordered at a standard synthesis yield of 10 μg.
  2. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA is available in lengths ranging from 1,000 – 5,500 bp, excluding the poly(A) tail.
  3. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA can be produced with a continuous or segmented poly(A) tail. When placing an order on our portal, these options will be available in a drop-down menu.
  4. ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA is delivered as dried-down double-stranded DNA in a 96-well microplate, one sequence per well.
  5. Each ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA sequence includes a 22 bp adaptor on the 5’ end (5’-GCGAGTCTTAGCCTGCGACGCTT-3′).
  6. There is also a 3-T overhang on the 5’ strand of the poly(A) tail.
  7. Each ENFINIA IVT Ready DNA sequence is NGS-verified before shipment.
  8. DNA sequences must be 1,000 – 5,000 bp including the promoter, ORF, and both UTRs, but excluding the poly(A) tail. For sequences shorter than 1,000 bp, a random sequence of nucleotides can be added upstream of the promoter to extend the length to 1,000 bp. Please note that this sequence will not be transcribed to mRNA.
  9. The DNA sequence may contain either a PaqCI recognition site (5′–CACCTGC–3′) or a BsaI recognition site (5′–GGTCTC–3′), but not both. Sequences containing the BspQI recognition site (5′–GCTCTTC–3′) are not permitted.
  10. The DNA sequence must not contain a homopolymer of 10 or more deoxyadenosine bases within the last 30 bp of a sequence.
  11. The provided sequence (comprising the promoter, UTRs, and ORF) cannot end in a deoxyadenosine.
