The F-Luc mRNA encodes firefly luciferase (F-Luc), an enzyme responsible for the natural bioluminescence observed in fireflies and click beetles. Upon delivery into cells or animals, the expressed F-Luc enzyme catalyzes light emission in the presence of its substrate, luciferin. This mRNA enables quantitative, noninvasive monitoring of gene expression and delivery efficiency in vitro and in vivo.

| Fluc mRNAs prepared with different cap analogues were formulated using the SM102 LNP formulation and intravenously injected into BALB/c mice at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg. Fluc expression levels were measured by whole-body imaging using the IVIS system following luciferin administration, and total luminescence signals were quantified at 8 and 24 hours post-injection. |
