Developing an #mRNA vaccine is a sure-shot way to success? No! Despite the spectacular performance of #Pfizer & #Moderna vaccines, we also have a #CureVac fiasco. We need to dig in much deeper into the intricacies of developing a highly efficacious mRNA vaccine 1/
There is more than low dose & impact of VOCs behind #CureVac’s failure. And here we once again need to salute the sheer brilliance of @kkariko . Will do a little thread to explain, why! 2/
No doubt, the #CureVac used a much lower #RNA dose. Dose is lower (12 (CureVac) vs 30 (#Pfizer) vs 100 ug (#Moderna)) but no idea how that translates to protein. Need to know how much of a role the lower dose played in the lower efficacy 3/

@BeatGlogger @higgsmag 1. aussage: mRNA-impfstoffe, könnten ihr immunsystem "nachhaltig" reprogrammieren

Very cool pair of new preprints @biorxivpreprints from @barton_lab on TLR regulation by Unc93b1 - biorxiv.org/content/early/… and biorxiv.org/content/early/… Here's my summary and a couple thoughts... #TLR #CellBiology #Immunology #PreReview #ASAPBio
First one, on TLR9 regulation by Unc93b1. Triple-alanine scanning mutagenesis library revealed mutant of Unc93b1 (SKN) that abolishes TLR9 signaling, although leaves endosomal trafficking and maturation intact. Single serine mutant (S282A) is responsible for full SKN phenotype
SKN or S282A both reduce amount of TLR9 binding to CpG. Both also increase amount of TLR9 bound by Unc93b1. Other mutations in same region of Unc93b1 (loop 5) either enhance or block Unc93b1 binding but all impair TLR9 activation, with much less effect on TLR7
