Uses
TCL053 is an ionizable lipid carrier and used to introduce active components, in particular nucleic acids, into cells with excellent efriciency. TCL053, together with DPPC (Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine), PEG-DMG (Polyethylene glycoldimyristoyl glycerol), and cholesterol, forms lipid nanoparticle (LNP) which is able to deliver Cas9 mRNA and sgRNA into skeletal muscle[1][2].
