Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . A method of expressing a protein in a mammalian subject, the method comprising administering a composition comprising plurality of lipid nanoparticles having a mean particle size of between 80 nm and 160 nm, wherein the plurality of lipid nanoparticles encapsulate a polynucleotide comprising:
 (a) an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide, wherein the open reading frame consists of modified uridine, cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine nucleotides;   (b) a 5′-UTR;   (c) a 5′ cap structure;   (d) a 3′-UTR; and   (e) a 3′ tailing sequence of linked nucleosides.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the open reading frame consists of nucleotides selected from 1-methyl-pseudouridine, cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the plurality of lipid nanoparticles comprise a cationic lipid, a PEGlyated lipid, cholesterol, and a phospholipid. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the cationic lipid is DLin-DMA, DLin-K-DMA, DLin-KC2-DMA, 98N12-5, C12-200, DLin-MC3-DMA, DODMA, DSDMA, or DLenDMA. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the plurality of lipid nanoparticles in the pharmaceutical composition have a mean PDI of between 0.02 and 0.2, and a mean lipid to polynucleotide ratio (wt/wt) of between 10 and 20. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the 3′-tailing sequence of linked nucleosides is selected from the group consisting of a poly-A tail of approximately 160 nucleotides and a polyA-G quartet. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the at least one 5′ terminal cap is selected from the group consisting of Cap0, Cap1, ARCA, inosine, N1-methyl-guanosine, 2′fluoro-guanosine, 7-deaza-guanosine, 8-oxo-guanosine, 2-amino-guanosine, LNA-guanosine, and 2-azido-guanosine. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the 3′-UTR comprises a miR binding site. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the 5′-UTR comprises a Kozak sequence.
