The efficacy of antigen-specific immunotherapy relies heavily on efficient antigen delivery to antigen-presenting cells and engagement of as many disease-relevant T cells as possible in various lymphoid tissues, which are challenging to achieve. Here, we compared two approaches to deliver mRNA

The sequences of the anticodon of tRNAAla, tRNAThr, and tRNAVal from Bacillus subtilis W 168 were N-G-C, N-G-U, and N-A-C, respectively. A new minor constituent, N, occupied the first position of the anticodon of each tRNA. N was indentified as
5-Methoxyuridine, a new modified constituent in tRNAs of Bacillaceae.

In Bacillus subtilis, four codons, CCU, CCC, CCA, and CCG, are used for proline. There exists, however, only one proline-specific tRNA having the anticodon mo(5)UGG. Here, we found that this tRNA(Pro)(mo(5)UGG) can read not only the codons CCA, CCG and

The encapsulation of mRNA in nanosystems as gene vaccines for immunotherapy purposes has experienced an exponential increase in recent years. Despite the many advantages envisaged within these approaches, their application in clinical treatments is still limited due to safety issues.
