Demonstrated Use In Vivo
Sigma-Aldrich® teamed up with Bioo Scientific™ to validate our MISSION In Vivo Quality siRNA (see article in Drug Discovery & Development).

In these experiments, H1155luc cells were injected into NOD/SCID mice. Tumors formed and were injected with luciferase specific siRNA or non-targeting MISSION In Vivo Quality siRNA formulated in MaxSuppressor™ In Vivo RNA-LANCEr II. After 24 hours, D-luciferin solution was injected and the animals were imaged using the Night OWL instrument. Animals treated with luciferase specific siRNA showed significant reduction of luciferase activity while non-targeting siRNA treated animals were positive for luminescence (Figure 1). These data demonstrate the effectiveness of MISSION In Vivo Quality siRNA formulated in MaxSuppressor™ In Vivo RNA-LANCEr II in vivo delivery agent.

72 hours post-injection, the tumors were removed and the protein was extracted and normalized using a Bradford assay. Luciferase concentrations were assayed using a Luciferase ELISA. Protein reduction is represented relative to a non-targeting RNAi agent treated animal. Luciferase activity was reduced by two-fold in the tumors (Figure 2).
