摘要: The present invention relates to the field of RNA analysis. In particular, the invention concerns the use of a catalytic nucleic acid molecule for the analysis of an RNA molecule and/or of a population of RNA molecules. In one aspect, the invention concerns methods for analyzing RNA molecules having at least one cleavage site for at least one catalytic nucleic acid molecule. In particular, the invention concerns a method for determining a physical property of an RNA molecule by analyzing a 5′ terminal fragment, a 3′ terminal fragment and/or at least one optional central RNA fragment obtained by cleavage of the RNA molecule by at least one catalytic nucleic acid molecule. Moreover, the present invention provides novel uses of a catalytic nucleic acid molecule for analyzing RNA molecules. In particular, the invention relates to the use of a catalytic nucleic acid molecule in a method for analyzing RNA molecules, wherein the resulting 5′ terminal RNA fragment, the 3′ terminal RNA fragment and/or the at least one optional central RNA fragment are analyzed.

摘要: The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition including (e.g., for use as an adjuvant) a (negatively charged) nucleic acid comprising complex comprising as a carrier cationic or polycationic compounds (e.g. peptides, proteins or polymers) and as a cargo at least one nucleic acid (molecule) and at least one antigen that is selected from an antigen from a pathogen associated with infectious disease; an antigen associated with allergy or allergic disease; an antigen associated with autoimmune disease; or an antigen associated with a cancer or tumour disease, or in each case a fragment, variant and/or derivative of said antigen. The pharmaceutical composition allows for efficient induction of an adaptive immune response directed against said antigen. The present invention furthermore provides kits, as well as the use of the pharmaceutical composition or the kit as a vaccine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumour or cancer diseases.

摘要: The present invention provides optimized nucleic acid molecules, methods for optimization of nucleic acid molecules and uses of optimized nucleic acid molecules. A modular design principle is provided that is suitable to generate a nucleic acid, particularly mRNA, which is tailored for a respective application. The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can be obtained by the versatile combination of multiple modules on nucleic acid level. Such nucleic acid, e.g. mRNA, can be tailored by combining one or more modules, comprising (i) a nucleic acid moiety encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g. a protein potentially producing a therapeutic outcome) and (ii) at least one further coding or non-coding nucleic acid moiety, e.g. selected among nucleic acid moieties encoding a polypeptide element, such as a secretory signal peptide (SSP), a multimerization element (dimerization, trimerization, tetramerization and oligomerization), a virus like particle (VLP) forming element, a transmembrane element, a dendritic cell targeting element, an immunological adjuvant element, an element promoting antigen presentation; a 2A peptide; a peptide linker element, elements that extend protein half-life, and/or any other polypeptide or protein. Non-coding nucleic acid moieties may be selected e.g. from the group comprising 3′-UTR, 5′-UTR, IRES element, miRNA moiety, histone stem loop, poly(C) sequence, polyadenylation signal, polyA-sequence. The optimized nucleic acid molecule can further be characterized by the presence of at least one modified nucleoside. The versatility of the present invention allows for rational design of a large variety of different nucleic acid molecules with desired properties.
