Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA):
Nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2
Purpose
Provides directions that the physique makes use of to construct a innocent piece of a protein from the virus that causes COVID-19. This protein causes an immune response that helps shield the physique from getting sick with COVID-19 sooner or later.
Lipids (fat):
- PEG2000-DMG: 1,2-dimyristoyl-rac-glycerol, methoxypolyethylene glycol
- 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
- BotaniChol® (non-animal origin ldl cholesterol)
- SM-102: heptadecane-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl) (6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy) hexyl) amino) octanoate
Purpose
Work collectively to assist the mRNA enter cells.
Salt, sugar, acid stabilizers, and acid:
- Sodium acetate
- Sucrose (fundamental desk sugar)
- Tromethamine
- Tromethamine hydrochloride
- Acetic acid (the principle ingredient in white family vinegar)
Purpose
Work collectively to assist preserve the vaccine molecules steady whereas the vaccine is manufactured, frozen, shipped, and saved till it is able to be given to a vaccine recipient.
