The emergence of new influenza virus strains presents a continuous challenge for global public health. mRNA technology offers a promising platform for rapidly developing therapeutics, particularly monoclonal antibodies, that can protect against viral infections. In this study, we engineered mRNA constructs encoding two types of antibodies: secreted antibodies specific to the hemagglutinin of the influenza A virus, based on previously characterized Fi6 antibodies, and intracellular Fab fragments targeting the nucleoprotein of the influenza B virus, derived from the 2/3 antibodies.

Hybrid PLNs are core-shell nanoparticle structures that combine the advantages of both polymer nanoparticles and liposomes, especially in terms of their physical stability and biocompatibility. Natural polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) can be used as a matrix for the PLNs' preparation.

The design of cationic liposomes for efficient mRNA delivery can significantly improve mRNA-based therapies. Lipoplexes based on polycationic lipid 1,26-bis(cholest-5-en-3β-yloxycarbonylamino)-7,11,16,20-tetraazahexacosane tetrahydrochloride (2X3) and helper lipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) were formulated in different molar ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) to efficiently deliver model mRNAs to BHK-21 and A549. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of 2X3-DOPE composition as well as lipid-to-mRNA ratio (amino-to-phosphate group ratio, N/P) on mRNA transfection.
