mRNA Vaccine

• What occurs when virus enters body

  • Immune System is alerted when antigens are detected and produces antibodies
  • Antibodies attach to the antigens and destroys them
• Transcription

  • Using a template strand from DNA, RNA polymerase uses it as a template for RNA synthesis
• Translation

  • Codon on mRNA binds tRNA to start making the protein chain
  • Met (Methionine) is the start of any amino acid
• Covid Vaccine

  • Contains mRNA that triggers cells to allow it to enter your cells
  • When triggered, it releases the mRNA
• Covid Vaccine Protein

  • Ribosomes see the mRNA and make protein associated with it
  • The protein is only part of the virus, not the whole thing
• The Vaccine produces COVID lookalikes so your body will fight the virus when the full virus actually enters the body
