Endosomal Escape Evidence no
Peptide Concentration 2.5 µM (typical; tested up to 5 µM)
Rna Concentration 2.5 µM (same as conjugate)
Mixing Ratio
Formulation Format covalent CPP–PNA–Gd(DOTA)–FITC conjugate
Formulation Components CPP (D-Tat57-49) + AEEA spacer + PNA (12mer) + Lys(FITC) + Gd(DOTA)
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells DsRed2-expressing CCL-11 fibrosarcoma (DsRed cells); CCL-11 parent
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type uptake / imaging contrast
Output Value Efficient uptake; significant MR contrast enhancement at low µM
Output Units
Output Notes Uptake confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy/microscopy and MR imaging; conjugates localized to perinuclear vesicles with endosomal/lysosomal entrapment and little/no cytosolic release; no specific mRNA targeting observed in cells vs nonsense control.
Toxicity Notes At >2.5 µM, dose increase increased toxicity with only marginal delivery benefit; 2.5 µM used for subsequent studies.
