Biodegradable Lipid Nanoparticles with Tunable Immunogenicity

The immunogenicity of ionizable lipids is a significant issue in applications such as gene editing or mRNA therapeutics. We have developed a novel chemical family of biodegradable lipids (COATSOME® SS Series) that exhibit exceptional stability in the circulating state and only break down when triggered by specific stimuli present in the cytosol. We will present further data on the cytokine profile, toxicity, and efficacy of COATSOME® SS Series in multiple animal models.
