After the mRNA [messenger ribonucleic acid] vaccine is administered, the body of the vaccinated person produces antigens by translating the administered mRNA. The antigens then stimulate the immune response. Since the vaccine does not contain the whole virus, it does not cause infection. Furthermore, the vaccine's mRNA does not enter the nucleus of the cell. 3, record 1, English, - messenger%20ribonucleic%20acid%20vaccine

Après l'administration du vaccin à ARNm [acide ribonucléique messager], le corps de la personne vaccinée produit des antigènes en traduisant l'ARNm administré. Les antigènes stimulent ensuite la réponse immunitaire. Étant donné que le vaccin ne contient pas le virus entier, il ne cause pas d'infection. En outre, l'ARNm du vaccin ne pénètre pas dans le noyau des cellules. 6, record 1, French, - vaccin%20%C3%A0%20acide%20ribonucl%C3%A9ique%20messager

Vacunas de ácido ribonucleico mensajero (ARNm): Son un nuevo tipo de vacunas que protegen contra enfermedades infecciosas. Enseñan a las células del cuerpo a producir una proteína, o incluso una porción de ella, que hace que inicie una respuesta inmunitaria. [...] Las vacunas de ARNm proporcionan "instrucciones" para que las células humanas produzcan la proteína que se encuentra en la superficie del virus que causa la COVID-19. 1, record 1, Spanish, - vacuna%20de%20%C3%A1cido%20ribonucl%C3%A9ico%20mensajero

Nodavirus RNA Replication. We have constructed DNA plasmids and vaccinia virus recombinants that express the RNA replicase of a nodavirus. In the cytoplasm of transfected or infected mammalian cells, this enzyme selectively amplifies its own mRNA by RNA replication. The replicase can also amplify other RNAs if they contain appropriate cis-acting replication signals, and we are striving to harness this ability for vector, vaccine, and gene therapy application. 1, record 2, English, - RNA%20replicase
