Messenger RNA-based vaccines
Abstract
RNA is the only molecule known to recapitulate all biochemical functions of life: definition, control and transmission of genetic information, creation of defined three-dimensional structures, enzymatic activities and storage of energy. Because of its versatility and thanks to several recent scientific breakthroughs, RNA became the focus of intense research in molecular medicine at the beginning of the millennium. In particular, mRNA can be seen as a safe and efficient alternative to protein-, recombinant virus- or DNA-based therapies in the field of vaccination. This review summarises the most remarkable advances in this area and presents the advantages and limits of the five different mRNA-based vaccination methods. The paper will present the official, industrial and financial aspects of mRNA-based vaccination that are paving the way for therapeutic and prophylactic drugs with mRNA as the active component.

The lack of biological efficacy of HPLC-purified basic Epo mRNA highlights the importance and potency of sequence-engineering.
“Although high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification depletes contaminants and, thus, contributes to reduced immunostimulation as well as improves mRNA expression to some extent,36,37,38 the lack of biological efficacy of HPLC-purified basic Epo mRNA highlights the importance and potency of sequence-engineering.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
