Mechanism of modified mRNA structure in COVID-19 vaccines for inducing neutralizing antibodies by Sabighoh Zanjabila, Beti Ernawati Dewi

“…Vaccines like BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 target the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein, prompting B cells to produce neutralizing antibodies that block the RBD from binding to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, preventing infection. These vaccines also stimulate adaptive immune responses by activating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, with mRNA functioning as an endogenous antigen. …”
