In Vitro and In Vivo Genome Editing by LNP Delivery of CRISPR Ribonucleoprotein

Tech ID: 33667 / UC Case 2025-005-0

Patent Status

Patent Pending

Brief Description

Although viral delivery of CRISPR genome editors is the most widely used method for in vivo cell editing, viral vectors can be immunogenic, carry the risk of vector genome integration and can induce off-target DNA damage due to continuous genome editor expression. Lipid-nanoparticle (LNP):mRNA complexes are non-virally derived vehicles for in vivo delivery that have provided for genome editing in the liver. However, developing LNP:mRNA complexes that can edit non-liver tissues remains a challenge. 

 

UCB researchers have created new LNP compositions and methods for delivery that have increased efficiency for delivering a molecular payload such as CRISPR-Cas effector proteins, guide RNAs, and/ nucleic acids encoding same.
