doi: 10.1016/j.xphs.2022.12.026
Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro transfection efficiency of mRNA-LNPs . The luciferase expression levels of HepG2 cells transfected by using SS-OP LNPs containing 10 mol%, 20 mol%, and 40 mol% of cholesterol (Left) and MC3 LNPs containing 10 mol%, 20 mol%, and 40 mol% of cholesterol (Right). Data are represented as mean + SD (n = 3). Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA Tukey's multiple comparisons test (* P < 0.05).
