“…One of the most widely studied of these vaccine platforms uses antigen-encoding nucleoside-modified mRNA encapsulated into lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNP) ( Pardi et al., 2015 ). Nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP vaccines have induced protective immune responses against various pathogens in preclinical studies ( Awasthi et al., 2019 ; Espeseth et al., 2020 ; Freyn et al., 2020 ; Meyer et al., 2018 ; Pardi et al., 2017 , 2018a , 2018c ; Richner et al., 2017 ; Roth et al., 2019 ), in many cases, after administration of a single dose ( Freyn et al., 2020 ; Pardi et al., 2017 , 2018a , 2018c ). This vaccine type has been shown to elicit particularly strong CD4 + T cell, germinal center B cell and long-lived plasma cell responses associated with durable, protective neutralizing antibody responses ( Lindgren et al., 2017 ; Pardi et al., 2018a ).…”
