Jongene. In kanker transporteren ze eiwitten die reporteren waar de kanker zit en kunnen dan zo doelgericht behandelen.
Citaat:
Moderna is creating individualized, mRNA-based personalized cancer vaccines to deliver one custom-tailored medicine for one patient at a time. Through next-generation sequencing, we identify mutations found on a patient’s cancer cells, called neoepitopes. Neoepitopes can help the immune system distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Using algorithms developed by our in-house bioinformatics team, we predict 20 neoepitopes present on the patient’s cancer that should elicit the strongest immune response, based on unique characteristics of the patient’s immune system and the cancer's particular mutations. We then create a vaccine that encodes for each of these mutations and load them onto a single mRNA molecule.

Once injected into the patient, the vaccine has the potential to direct the patient’s cells to express the selected neoepitopes. In turn, this may help the patient’s immune system better recognize cancer cells as foreign and destroy them.
