Novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine encoding four mpox virus surface proteins generates robust immune responses against orthopoxviruses

Researchers described a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-lipid nanoparticle monkeypox vaccine encoding four conserved monkeypox virus surface proteins which induced monkeypox virus-specific immunity and elicited heterologous protection when challenged with lethal vaccinia virus.
