Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
RNA technology has demonstrated numerous advantages in vaccine development and is widely recognized for its versatility. Specifically, it can be utilized in the development of new vaccines or therapeutics for various types of infectious or non-infectious diseases by manipulating the mRNA cargo and the lipid-based delivery system.
However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how these vaccines work, particularly regarding their interactions with the immune system and the underlying mechanism of action implicated in the generation of high-quality vaccine responses.
In this Special Issue, we seek original research articles and review articles that address the immune mechanisms of RNA vaccines. This includes, but is not limited to, innate immune signatures, the magnitude and quality of antibody responses, and the regulation of B cell and T cell compartments. These investigations provide essential guidance for the rational design of RNA vaccines.
