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

RNA vaccines are composed of the nucleic acid RNA, which encodes antigen genes of an infectious agent. When administered to host cells, the RNA is translated into protein antigens that elicit protective immunity against the infectious agent. 5, record 2, English, - ribonucleic%20acid%20vaccine

En l'état actuel, le virus H5N1 de la grippe aviaire, une souche hautement pathogène, n'est pas transmissible à l'homme. Mais cela pourrait devenir le cas si ce virus entre en contact avec le virus H3N2 de la grippe qui sévit actuellement en Europe. Un virus recombinant pourrait infecter l'homme et serait alors transmissible d'homme à homme par voie respiratoire. Le virus H3N2 est d'ailleurs déjà un virus recombinant apparu dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. 2, record 3, French, - virus%20recombinant

Desde hace décadas se conoce la fabricación de la vacuna contra la gripe. Consiste en inyectar en un huevo de gallina fertilizado el virus gripal contra el que estará dirigida la vacuna y una cepa viral de laboratorio inofensiva pero que se multiplica muy rápidamente. Los dos virus intercambian sus genes y forman un virus recombinante que posee a la vez las capacidades de multiplicación de la cepa neutra y los genes H y N que determinan la patogenicidad del virus responsable de la enfermedad en el hombre o en el animal. 3, record 3, Spanish, - virus%20recombinante

Para desarrollar esta vacuna se están usando las cepas del virus de la gripe que afectan únicamente al Hemisferio Sur. [...] el trabajo consiste en aislar el material genético o ARN(ácido ribonucleico) del virus de la influenza y, por un proceso especial, transformarlo en ADN(o ácido desoxirribonucleico). "Posteriormente, se utiliza el ADN del virus y se mezcla con el trocito del virus de la influenza que se aisló y que se transformó también en ADN; aquí es cuando se produce la recombinación, es decir, ambos ADN se unieron. Se obtiene un virus recombinante [...] 4, record 3, Spanish, - virus%20recombinante
