CD8 T-cell priming upon mRNA vaccination is restricted to bone-marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells and may involve antigen transfer from myocytes.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Self-amplifying mRNAs (SAM(®) ) are a novel class of nucleic acid vaccines, delivered by a non-viral delivery system. They are effective at eliciting potent and protective immune responses and are being developed as a platform technology with potential to be used for a broad range of targets. However, their mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. To date, no evidence of in vivo transduction of professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by SAM vector has been reported, while the antigen expression has been shown to occur mostly in the muscle fibres. Here we show that bone-marrow-derived APCs rather than muscle cells are responsible for induction of MHC class-I restricted CD8 T cells in vivo, but direct transfection of APCs by SAM vectors is not required. Based on all our in vivo and in vitro data we propose that upon SAM vaccination the antigen is expressed within muscle cells and then transferred to APCs, suggesting cross-priming as the prevalent mechanism for priming the CD8 T-cell response by SAM vaccines.
