A low-reaction mRNA vaccine reveals an immune pathway linked to side effects

Updated

Abstract

Essence

IL-1 signaling was linked to LNP-mRNA vaccine adverse reactions without appearing necessary for neutralizing antibody responses.

Evidence

Mechanistic mouse-model immune profiling and in vivo blockade studies were paired with a controlled human vaccine cohort measuring IL-1 pathway activation, fever severity, and neutralizing antibody titers.

Caveat

The human cohort supports correlation, while pathway causality and selective reduction of adverse reactions were mainly tested in mice.
