Most current Ebola virus (EBOV) vaccine candidates are based on viral vectors, some of which cause side effects or require complex manufacturing. Modified mRNA vaccines are easily produced, safe, and are highly immunogenic.

The mRNAs were formulated with lipid nanoparticles to facilitate delivery. Vaccination of guinea pi ...[more]
