mRNA vaccines undergo intracellular translation to express the encoded protein antigen in a functionally intact form. To evaluate correlation between in vitro and in vivo measures of potency, mRNA vaccine samples with varying relative potencies can be created by gradual structural destabilization under stress including thermal stress. These samples can be tested in parallel for antigen expression in transfected cells and antigen-specific antibody induction and immune response in vaccinated animals.
信使核糖核酸(mRNA)疫苗在细胞内进行翻译,以功能完整的形式表达编码的蛋白质抗原。为了评估体外效力测量与体内效力测量之间的相关性,可以通过在包括热应激在内的应激条件下逐步破坏结构稳定性,制备出具有不同相对效力的mRNA疫苗样本。这些样本可以并行测试在转染细胞中的抗原表达,以及在接种疫苗的动物中诱导抗原特异性抗体和免疫反应的情况。
