Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.

If the gene does not integrate into the genome, the cell will not become a CAR T cell. But if the cell accepts too many copies of the gene, the cell can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or a ‘cytokine storm’. The gene could also bury itself in a silenced region of the genome, leaving the gene dormant.
