VACCINATION
How can mRNA vaccines
and/or BNAbs be engineered to induce
effective antiviral immune responses?

'Abbreviations: bNAbs, broadly neutralizing antibodies; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; Fab, "variable" region of antibodies that
confers specific binding to antigens like HIV; Fc, "constant" region of antibodies that confers effector functions; GA, Golgi
apparatus; LNP, lipid nanoparticle

immune responses, costing infrastructures (to be developed)
