mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

Adoptive T Cell therapies, therapeutic antibodies, and immunomodulatory proteins represent just some of the potentially beneficial treatment strategies for successful mRNA cancer trials. One strategy proposed the use of synthetic mRNA or modified mRNA analogs, which can enhance the stability and protein expression of mRNA.
