- TL;DR Summary
- What happens to the cell after it produces the spike protein? Does it get killed?
Here is my understanding of how an mRNA vaccine works and some questions where I am not clear:
I understand that an mRNA vaccine is delivered via lipid spheres containing the mRNA,.
The cell brings it inside the cell thinking it's fat?
Then the mRNA is read by the cell machinery to produce the spike protein?
The spike protein is presented outside the cell?
The immune system recognizes an intruder and attacks the cell?
So is the original cell killed in this process?
