In vitro expression was performed in HeLa cells (ATCC, catalog #CCL-2). Cells were seeded in Minimal essential medium (MEM) with 10% FBS, 1X Glutamax, and 1X sodium pyruvate at 37 °C at 15,000 cells in a total volume of 100 µL per well and grown for 24 h. Extracted mRNA was transfected with Lipofectamine L2000 (Life Technologies, catalog #11668019) at 1333 ng of mRNA per well and incubated for 18–20 h at 37 °C. To detect intracellular protein expression, cells were first fixed and permeabilized (Cytoxfix/Cytoperm; BD Biosciences catalog #554714) and then stained with a proprietary primary antibody (1/2000 dilution of 1 mg/mL stock). Data were acquired on the BD LSRFortessa™ Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences) using BD FACSDiva™ version 8.0 software (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo software version 10.4 (BD Biosciences). Mean fluorescence intensity was normalized using a neat mRNA positive control and non-translating negative control. The gating strategy can be found in Supplementary Fig. 8.

BJ fibroblasts (ATCC; catalog #CRL-2522) were cultured in complete media (Eagle’s minimum essential medium [EMEM] with L-glutamine; 10% FBS). Cells were seeded in 96-well plates (20,000 cells/well) 24 h prior to transfection; extracted mRNA was transfected with Lipofectamine L2000 (Life Technologies, catalog #11668019) at 250 ng/well and incubated for 48 h at 37 °C before collection of the supernatant for analysis. An hEPO mRNA standard was included as an assay control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
