Here, we present a protocol for the development of mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines for target antigen sequences of interest. We describe key steps required to design and synthesize mRNA constructs, their LNP encapsulation, and mouse immunization. We then detail quality control assays to determine RNA purity, guidelines to measure RNA immunogenicity using in vitro reporter systems, and a technique to evaluate antigen-specific T cell responses following immunization.
在这里,我们提出了一种用于负载有目标抗原序列的信使 RNA(mRNA)的脂质纳米颗粒(LNP)疫苗的开发方案。我们描述了设计和合成 mRNA 构建体、它们的 LNP 包封以及小鼠免疫所需的关键步骤。然后,我们详细介绍了质量控制测定,以确定 RNA 纯度,使用体外报告系统测量 RNA 免疫原性的指南,以及评估免疫后抗原特异性 T 细胞反应的技术。
