The story has also been updated to include mention of mRNA vaccine experiments in early patent filings.References Malone, R. W., Felgner, P. L. & Verma, I. M. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 86, 6077–6081 (1989). Article PubMed Google Scholar Malone, R. W. Focus 11, 61–66 (...
Thereafter, the first industrial development of this technology began in Germany in 2000, with the founding of CureVac, which stemmed from another description of a synthetic mRNA vaccine published in EJI in 2000. The first clinical studies investigating mRNA vaccines in humans were performed as ...
the poly-A tail and its untranslated regions) to achieve increased intracellular stability of synthetic mRNA and translation, especially in immune cells. The rapid development of our COVID-19 vaccine was only possible because we were able to build on the research, expertise and technology that we...
designed the first mRNA vaccine for the treatment of cancer in 1995. They reported that their vector, which expressed human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), could safely be injected into CEA-expressing tumor cells in a mouse model26. However, it took a long time for these animal experiments to...
resumed after researchers and regulators determined that there was no clear connection between the vaccine and the medical events and deemed them safe enough to continue. No adverse events have yet been linked to the mRNA vaccine candidates, except for a handful of allergic react...
ancestral Wuhan strain-based mRNA vaccine (the only vaccines used to date) lowers that child’s risk of severe disease, MIS-c, hospitalization, or death. As vaccines appear powerless, with time, to halt transmission, there is no evidence that vaccination benefits parents, grandparents, teachers,...
The Pfizer vaccine uses messenger RNA (mRNA) to combat the virus, which is, in a sense, a living molecule. As a result, the vaccines have to be constantly kept at extremely low temperatures of minus 70 degrees Celsius, and ideally even lower. ...
It also improved its offerings for the growing viral vaccine, gene therapy and biotherapy markets as well as contract research and custom biologics. Reflecting a globalized economy and Lonza’s increasingly strong multinational presence, this growth was driven across countries ranging from Canada to ...
With these enhancements, we successfully simulated the five waves that occurred in 2020–21; we underscored the pivotal roles of lockdown measures and the vaccination campaign in controlling the pandemic and delved into the potential impact of different vaccine characteristics and vaccination timelines. ...
