Record 1 2025-12-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines represent a new and highly efficacious category of mRNA vaccines.

OBS

nucleoside-modified messenger ribonucleic acid; nucleoside-modified messenger RNA; nucleoside-modified mRNA; modRNA: ... a synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) in which some nucleosides are replaced by other naturally modified nucleosides or by synthetic nucleoside analogues.

OBS

nucleoside: A compound (such as guanosine or adenosine) that consists of a purine or pyrimidine base combined with deoxyribose or ribose and is found especially in DNA or RNA [ribonucleic acid].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
OBS

nucléoside : Molécule composée d'une base de purine ou de pyrimidine et d'un sucre (ribose ou désoxyribose).

Record 2 2025-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Pre-messenger RNA is processed to form mature messenger RNA [ribonucleic acid] (post-transcription), translocated into the cytosol to become a template for protein synthesis in the ribosome.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Lorsque l'ADN est transcrit en ARNm [acide ribonucléique messager], la molécule initiale d'ARNm (appelée pré-ARNm) doit souvent être épissée en de nouvelles formes par des complexes protéiques.

OBS

ARN prémessager : désignation publiée au Journal officiel de la République française le 26 septembre 2025.

Record 3 2021-10-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
OBS

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.

OBS

Most RNA [ribonucleic acid] vaccines developed to prevent COVID-19 are mRNA [messenger ribonucleic acid] vaccines.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
OBS

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.

OBS

La majorité des vaccins à ARN [acide ribonucléique] élaborés pour prévenir la COVID-19 sont des vaccins à ARNm [acide ribonucléique messager].

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inmunología
CONT

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.

Record 4 2021-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene. The mRNA is an RNA version of the gene that leaves the cell nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm where proteins are made. During protein synthesis, an organelle called a ribosome moves along the mRNA, reads its base sequence, and uses the genetic code to translate each three-base triplet, or codon, into its corresponding amino acid.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

ARN synthétisé par transcription de l'ADN et codant pour une protéine.

OBS

ARN messager; ARNm : désignations et définition normalisées par l'AFNOR; définition reproduite avec son autorisation.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Ácido nucleico que transcribe un mensaje genético generado en el ADN del núcleo y lo lleva a un ribosoma en el citoplasma, donde sirve como plantilla para la síntesis de proteínas.

Record 5 2011-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Method that enables a cloned DNA to be correlated with the protein for which it encodes.

OBS

Cloned DNA is bound to a cellulose nitrate filter and hybridized with an unfractionated preparation of mRNA. The filter is washed and the hybridized mRNA eluted by heating in a buffer with formamide. The recovered mRNA is then translated in a cell-free system, and the radiolabelled polypeptide products analyzed by gel electrophoresis.

DEF

Método utilizado para identificar el producto génico de un gen clonado.
