From mRNA sensing to vaccines

Immunity. 2021 Dec 14;54(12):2676-2680. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2021.10.018. Epub 2021 Nov 4.

Abstract

The 2005 Immunity paper by Karikó et al. has been hailed as a cornerstone insight that directly led to the design and delivery of the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. We asked experts in pathogen sensing, vaccine development, and public health to provide their perspective on the study and its implications.
