mRNA Vaccine : Education thread !

NO vaccines using this technology have made it this far in clinical trials.

Just Science !

mRNA vaccines work by providing the genetic code for our cells to produce viral proteins.

Once the proteins, which don’t cause disease, are produced,

the body launches an immune response against the virus

enabling the person to develop immunity !

Long before Moderna’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 shots, scientists had been considering the use of :

genetically encoded vaccines in the fight against infectious diseases, cancer, and more

NO vaccines using this technology have made it this far in clinical trials.

mRNA can theoretically be used to produce any protein

with the upside that it much simpler to manufacture than the proteins themselves !

The success of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines

“is really good for the RNA field , because until very recently

there were just a handful of people

who really believed in mRNA vaccines,”

The Scientist.

A pair of scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman :

discovered that by altering the building blocks of RNA—nucleosides —

they could address some of key limitations of the technique.

In a seminal 2005 paper, they reported that modified, synthetic nucleosides could both increase

protein production from the mRNA :

and drastically suppress the immune system’s reaction to the mRNA molecules themselves.

(Karikó is now a senior vice president at BioNTech, inventors of the Pfizer vaccine.)

Mapoui and his LINKS keeps arguing, albeit in Ignorance

about Old time Vaccines and continue like a DOG

mRNA vaccines — a new era in Vaccinology !

mRNA vaccines represent a promising alternative to conventional vaccine approaches

because of their high potency, capacity for rapid development

and potential for low-cost manufacture and safe administration ~

Over the past decade, major technological innovation and research investment have enabled mRNA

to become a promising therapeutic tool in the fields of vaccine development and protein replacement therapy.
