Custom miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Inhibitors

Niel M. Frandsen, Product Manager LNA™-enhanced knockdown probes, designed to specifically target your own microRNA or small RNA, offer superior biological stability and minimal cytotoxicity.


Niels M. Frandsen, Ph.D., Product Manager Back
  • Pre-designed inhibitors for specific suppression of all microRNAs in miRBase and our proprietary miRPlus™ sequences
  • Sophisticated and innovative design
  • Unmatched high efficacy even for AT-rich microRNA targets
  • High and uniform potency enables multiplexing at low concentrations with minimal risk of off-target effects
  • Superior specificity and biological stability for long lasting antisense activity
  • End-labeling option for easy control of transfection efficiency

Features

Custom miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Inhibitors and Power Inhibitors are available for specific knockdown of your own microRNA or other small RNA sequences. These microRNA inhibitors are generated using Exiqon’s in-house design software applying the same novel sophisticated design algorithms used for our pre-desgined microRNA Inhibitors. This ensures the optimal combination of length, sequence and LNA™ positioning in the custom microRNA inhibitor. Moreover, they are designed to have excellent sequence specificity and biological stability, while keeping the self-annealing properties to a minimum. 

The miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Power Inhibitors have phosphorothioate (PS) backbones that stabilize the inhibitor. We therefore recommend these inhibitors in difficult applications where:
  • the transfection efficiency is limiting (primary cells, cells growing in suspension)
  • the microRNA target is highly expressed
  • the phenotypic readout that takes place >72 h after transfection (cell differentiation)
  • regular microRNA inhibitors fail

Coverage

Our custom microRNA inhibitors and Power inhibitors are delivered as ready-to-label or as 3' or 5' pre-labeled fluorescein (6-FAM) oligonucleotides. Requests for alternative labels please contact usAll custom microRNA inhibitors are HPLC-purified and desalted and delivered in tubes containing 5 nmol dried-down oligonucleotide ready for transfection or electroporation using standard techniques

Before submitting your order, please check if a pre-designed microRNA inhibitor targeting your sequence is available. Pre-designed miRCURY LNA™ microRNA microRNA Inhibitors and Power Inhibitors are available for all microRNA sequences annotated in miRBase (v.13.0).


"LNA microRNA antisense inhibitors are efficient and specific with long lasting effects"


Dr. Annick Harel-Bellan (AHB) is Directeur de Recherche at the Institut Andre Lwoff in Paris. She heads a group working on epigenetics and cancer (Laboratoire Epigenetique et Cancer). Dr. Anna Polesskaya (AP) is a senior scientist and longstanding member of this group

Amanda Dixon-McIver "We chose to use miRCURY LNA™ knockdown probes as we had previous experience with using LNA probes for in situ hybridization with great success".

Amanda Dixon-McIver is finishing her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Silvana Debernardi, in the Medical Oncology Laboratory headed by Prof. Bryan Young in the Institute of Cancer, Barts Hospital, in London, UK.
