Description

mCherry is a member of the monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP) mFruits family, derived from DsRed of the Discosoma sea anemone. mCherry is a fluorescent protein chromophore used as a tool to visualize genes and analyze their function in experiments. mCherry absorbs light in the range of 540-590 nm and emits light in the range of 550-650 nm. This product is designed as a tool for the delivery and expression of mCherry mRNA for research. The product leverages the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology platform for simple and efficient delivery of mCherry mRNA to a variety of mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo. The LNPs used are formulated with SM-102, DSPC, cholesterol and DMG-PEG2000 at an optimal molar concentration for a high rate of encapsulation and efficient mRNA delivery. The sequence of mCherry protein consists of 236 amino acids, and the GenPept accession number is WIO52923.

Product Overview

Composition

mRNA-LNPs suspended in PBS (-Ca, -Mg) (pH: 7.0-7.4).

Cell Type Tested

HEK293S, T cells, iPSC

Application & Handing

Upon receiving product, briefly pulse spin before opening to ensure product is at bottom of container. It is important not to spin for too long as this may rupture mRNA-LNPs. Do not vortex. Work with mRNA-LNPs on ice and minimize the time that the product spends at room temperature. After handling the product during experiments, return immediately to ice. mRNA-LNP products should only be handled with certified RNase-free reagents and consumables. Use of filtered pipette tips is highly recommended.

Storage

4°C; ice
