Plasmids—Part 2: Perfecting Plasmid Production for IVT mRNA Manufacturing

This post is Part 2 of a series of Zone blogs featuring DNA plasmids used to produce in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA. Part 1, posted on June 8, 2021, provided historical perspectives on the discovery of plasmids, as well as descriptions of how these circular double-stranded DNAs enabled recombinant DNA technology and now IVT mRNA production. The two growth phases of plasmid applications are reflected in this chart of publications in PubMed indexed to gene therapy and genetic vaccination for two 10-year periods: 1991–2000 and 2012–2021, respectively.

Perspectives on Plasmids for IVT mRNA Production—Part 1

TriLink recently introduced plasmid manufacturing services as advantageous entry points for the in vitro transcription (IVT) template production of your mRNA, and this prompted the Zone to provide a series of blogs exploring plasmid biology and manufacturing. This initial (Part 1) blog offers some introductory comments on the discovery of plasmids that paved the way for recombinant DNA and early IVT mRNA technologies. Part 2, which will be posted in July of 2021, transitions to discussing the key elements required to perfect plasmid production in the context of IVT mRNA manufacturing by TriLink.
