Paper Bi-specific splice-switching PMO oligonucleotides conjugated via a single peptide active in a mouse
Peptide Bi-specific D3 (both PMOs attached at Pip6a C-terminus; Dmd PMO click)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence
Peptide Concentration 0.5–1 µM conjugate (serum-free Opti-MEM, 4 h transfection; then DMEM/5% horse serum 20 h).
Rna Concentration Same as conjugate concentration (PMO content equimolar to conjugate; for bi-specific constructs total PMO per conjugate contains two PMOs).
Mixing Ratio Covalent bi-specific: one PMO amide-linked; the other click-conjugated at C-terminus (triazole) using Bpg alkyne with X/B spacers; in D3 the Dmd-targeting PMO is click-conjugated.
Formulation Format Covalent CPP–PMO conjugate (P-PMO); bi-specific constructs carry two PMOs on one CPP via amide + triazole (click) or disulfide linkages.
Formulation Components Pip6a CPP conjugated to PMO(s): Dmd exon23 PMO and/or Acvr2b exon5 PMO (see construct-specific linkage notes).

Output Type In vitro functional RNA effect: exon skipping (RT-PCR) for Dmd exon 23 and Acvr2b exon 5
Output Value High exon skipping for both targets; marginally more efficient than D2 in cells (RT-PCR).
