Background

Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is a common reporter gene that emits an intense and bright green fluorescence, with a maximum excitation/emission wavelength of 488 nm /509 nm, respectively.

Self-Amplifying RNA(saRNA) usually has the advantages of high protein expression, long duration, and low dose use due to its ability to self-replicate within the cell. EGFP saRNA is based on the replication mechanism of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV)providing a concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL with Cap1 structure. There are currently two ways to cap mRNA: One is co-transcription method, by adding Cap analogues into the transcription process. The other is enzymatic Capping. After transcription, Cap0 capping is performed by Vaccinia virus Capping Enzyme (VCE), GTP and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). The Cap0 is then generated into the Cap1 through 2´-O-Methyltransferase and SAM. Cap1 Capping can also be performed by adding VCE, 2´-O-Methyltransferase, GTP and SAM in a one-step process. Cap 1 structure is more ideal for mammalian systems and possess higher transcription efficiency than Cap 0 structure. The addition of 5mCTP and poly (A) tail increases the stability and lifetime of the mRNA in vitro and in vivo. Poly (A) tail also plays an important role in enhancing the efficiency of translation initiation. EGFP saRNA can stably express enhanced green fluorescent protein for a long time, and can be used as a control to analyze the delivery and translation efficiency of RNA.

General tips

Please dissolve it on ice and protect from RNase carefully. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles as possible. Don’t vortex. Upon first use, centrifuge the tube softly and aliquot it into several single use portions. Use RNase-free reagents and materials with appropriate RNase-free technique. Don’t add to the media with serum unless mixing with a transfection reagent.
