An mRNA #adjuvant that encodes #IL12 amplifies and prolongs immunity from the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine in aged mice, and features a multiorgan protection sequence that restricts expression to targeted tissues. Dr. David J. Dowling, Ph.D. Byron Brook Precision Vaccines Program scim.ag/7U8


Adding mRNA that encodes immune protein IL-12 to an mRNA #COVID19 vaccine raised vaccine immune responses in aged mice to levels akin to those in younger mice, #NIAID-funded researchers report.

What’s next for the development of mRNA vaccines? Researchers at HMS and Boston Children's are working on technologies that could make them more potent, last longer, and have fewer side effects bit.ly/3LQorx4

Building on the success of lipid nanoparticle mRNA vaccines in the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Brook and Duval et al. addressed waning immunity and durability in older adults. bit.ly/3LXSFOW  Boston Children's Harvard Medical School  Dr. David J. Dowling, Ph.D.





A new generation of vaccine #adjuvants tailored for the pediatric immune system could help overcome longstanding gaps in the design of #InfectiousDisease vaccines for children, according to a new Viewpoint from researchers at NIAID News. scim.ag/8hu



Out now in iScience journal! Precision Vaccines Program Drs Byron Brook, Soumik Barman, @Dr_Amykacin, Joann Arce, PhD, Dr. David J. Dowling, Ph.D., and Dr. Ofer Levy, MD PhD modeled responses to mRNA vaccine in vitro (outside the body), noting that elders demonstrated impaired BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine-induced Th1 support.
