Quantify dsRNA with Confidence

High-quality in vitro transcription (IVT) products are crucial for research and RNA therapeutic development. However, IVT can generate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) byproducts. This contaminant can have significant negative downstream effects on drug substances and products, such as high immunogenicity. Sensitive and quantitative assessment of dsRNA is critical to control and optimize mRNA therapeutic and vaccine manufacturing processes.

The Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay is a novel technique to quantify dsRNA in a sample. Lumit® Assay technology is based on NanoBiT® luciferase complementation. NanoBiT® subunits, SmBiT and LgBiT, are genetically fused to dsRNA binding proteins. In the presence of dsRNA, the SmBiT and LgBiT subunits are brought together to form an active NanoBiT® Luciferase, generating a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of dsRNA in a sample. The result is a concentration-dependent luminescent signal for quantitative and specific measurement of dsRNA.

Note: The total number of assays per kit will vary based on final well volume.

For standard well volumes:

  • 100 assay kits: applicable for 100 assays in 96-well plates or 400 assays in 384-well plates.
  • 500 assay kits: applicable for 500 assays in 96-well plates or 2,000 assays in 384-well plates.

Simple Protocol Streamlines dsRNA Quantification

The assay is solution-based and homogeneous:

  • No wash or sample transfer steps needed
  • Amenable to high-throughput applications
Depiction of Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay protocol.

 

Size and Sequence-Independent dsRNA Assay: The Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay can sensitively quantify dsRNA independent of sequence and size.

Better Performance than Commercial ELISA Kits: The Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay provides an accurate linear range of 0.04 to 2.5ng/ml. Commercial dsRNA ELISA kits do not accurately quantitate dsRNA at these concentrations.

Detect and Quantify dsRNA in Complex IVT Samples: The Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay can accurately quantify dsRNA in IVT samples with mixed RNA species.

Detecting dsRNA

The Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay exhibits outstanding intra- and inter-assay precision and extremely low limit of detection.

Standard response curve generated using the Lumit® dsRNA Detection Assay across a series of dsRNA concentrations. Each point represents the mean of six replicates, and the data were collected from three independent experiments. Measurements were recorded using a GloMax® Discover plate luminometer. The assay demonstrated a calculated Limit of Detection (LoD) of 0.37pg/ml and a Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of 1.12pg/ml, highlighting its exceptional sensitivity and reproducibility.

Detecting Modified and Unmodified dsRNA with Lumit® dsRNA Assay

Line graphs showing standard curve response range of the modified dsRNA Standards.

Standard curve response range of the modified dsRNA Standards. Standard curves were prepared for each modified dsRNA Standard: pseudouridine (Ψ), N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ), 5-methyoxyuridine (mo5U) and 5-methylcytidine (m5C). Luminescence was plotted after subtracting background, using a GloMax® Discover System and a 0.5-second integration time. This figure is for illustration only. Always perform a standard curve on each experimental plate. Absolute RLU values will vary due to luminometer sensitivity and settings.

Poster: Development of novel luminescent assays for sensitive and specific quantitation of double-stranded RNA in mRNA vaccines

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a byproduct of in vitro transcription and a critical quality attribute for mRNA-based therapeutics and vaccines. This poster highlights novel luminescent assays for fast and highly specific dsRNA quantification using Promega’s Lumit® and TLR3 Bioassay technologies. These mix-and-read assays eliminate wash steps, enabling streamlined workflows for detecting dsRNA across IVT products, delivery methods, and immunostimulatory contexts.
