CellScript
The mission of CELLSCRIPT is to provide the best products and technologies for making and using RNA for translation in cells for clinical research and therapeutics. Current products include kits for in vitro transcription, 5' RNA capping using either a cap analog or capping enzymes, and 3' RNA polyadenylation, as well as all-in-one kits for making capped, poly(A)-tailed mRNA for translation in cells. CELLSCRIPT recently introduced INCOGNITO RNA Transcription Kits for in vitro synthesis of RNA that contains modified nucleosides, such as pseudouridine (Ψ) and/or 5-methylcytidine (m5C) in place of the corresponding U or C canonical nucleosides (Figure 1). These kits are so-named because the capped, polyadenylated and nucleoside-modified RNA products (called "INCOGNITO mRNAs") are disguised so they do not induce innate immune responses to the same extent as the corresponding unmodified mRNAs when transfected into mammalian cells that express a variety of RNA sensors.
