\nA simple way to see mRNA is as a blueprint to make a certain protein; a cell that contains specific mRNA will make the protein it describes.<\/p>\n
\nAn mRNA vaccine contains mRNA that indicates production of a type of protein the pathogen makes, but that the human body doesn’t naturally make. The mRNA from the vaccine enters the human’s cells, which start making that protein; next, that protein is manifested somehow, perhaps on the cell surface. The immune system notices the new protein and that it’s not a natural part of the body, so it develops antibodies against it. Therefore, immunity is prepared against the actual pathogen, should it attack the body.<\/p>\n
