Abstract excerpt
The remarkable success of messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines has underscored their potential as a novel biotechnology platform for vaccine development and therapeutic protein delivery. However, the single-subunit RNA polymerase from bacteriophage T7 widely used for in vitro transcription is well known to generate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by-products that strongly stimulate the mammalian innate immune...
