Results: siRNA sequences designed for Gene A and Gene B with GenScript’s bioinformatic design platform achieved higher knock down efficiency (KD%) than those created with other vendors’ tools.
Results: Effective site-specific conjugation between siRNA and antibody (ARC, Antibody RNA Conjugation) not only ensure knock down efficiency but also help make targeted delivery possible
Results: siRNA knock down efficiency (KD%) with different delivery systems
Many of GenScript's designed siRNAs achieved better knockdown efficiency when compared to a positive control siRNA created from a published sequence. Out of 100+ sequences, we selected 20 preliminary screening sequences for further optimization.
The 20 preliminary screening sequences were optimized through different modifications to improve knockdown efficiency. After optimization, the IC50 is reduced to 1/10 of the positive control’s value.
ELISA assay
Application: suitable for quantification of secreted proteins
Advantages: qualitative as well as quantitative (Microplate reader)
Immunofluorescence Staining
Application: suitable for quantification of membrane proteins
Advantages: qualitative as well as quantitative (Flow cytometry)
Western blot
Application: suitable for quantification of all kinds of proteins
Advantages: qualitative, sometimes semi-quantitative (Gel electrophoresis)
RNAi utilizes short oligo sequences to target and modulate genetic material to inhibit or enhance the production of specific proteins involved in disease processes, enabling highly targeted therapy.
siRNA (small interfering RNA)
Mechanism: siRNA forms gene silencing complex RISC with proteins like AGO2, specifically cleaving and degrading target mRNA.
Characteristics:
ASO (Antisense oligonucleotides)
Mechanism: ASO binds to mRNA forming DNA/RNA double-stranded structure, RNAse H binds to it and degrades target mRNA
