Abstract

The invention relates to compositions and methods for the preparation, manufacture and therapeutic use of oncology-related polynucleotides, oncology-related primary transcripts and oncology-related mmRNA molecules.

First claim

We claim:

1. An mRNA encoding amino acid 353 to 613 of SEQ ID NO: 4868, wherein said mRNA comprises a coding region, said coding region having at least 80% identity to SEQ ID NO: 32141.

2. The mRNA of claim 1 , wherein the mRNA comprises at least one untranslated region 5′ relative to the coding region and at least one untranslated region 3′ relative to the coding region.

3. The mRNA of claim 2 , wherein the 5′ untranslated region is heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

4. The mRNA of claim 2 , wherein the 3′ untranslated region is heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

5. The mRNA of claim 2 , wherein the 5′ untranslated region and the 3′ untranslated region are heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

6. The mRNA of claim 2 , wherein the mRNA comprises at least two stop codons.

7. The mRNA of claim 1 , wherein the coding region is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 32141 and 32158.

8. The mRNA of claim 1 , wherein the coding region is at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 32141.

9. The mRNA of claim 1 , wherein the coding region consists of SEQ ID NO: 32141.

10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the mRNA of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is selected from a solvent, aqueous solvent, non-aqueous solvent, dispersion media, diluent, dispersion, suspension aid, surface active agent, isotonic agent, thickening or emulsifying agent, preservative, lipid, lipidoids liposome, lipid nanoparticle, core-shell nanoparticles, polymer, lipoplex, peptide, protein, cell, hyaluronidase, and mixtures thereof.

12. A method of producing a protein of interest in a cell, tissue or organism comprising contacting said cell, tissue or organism with the mRNA of claim 1 .

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the mRNA comprises at least one untranslated region 5′ relative to the coding region and at least one untranslated region 3′ relative to the coding region.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the 5′ untranslated region is heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the 3′ untranslated region is heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the 5′ untranslated region and the 3′ untranslated region are heterologous to the coding region of the mRNA.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the mRNA comprises at least two stop codons.
