Fig. 2

Conventional types of mRNA therapeutics includes 5′cap, 5′UTR, open reading frame (ORF), 3′UTR, and poly(A), which induce cap-dependent translation following transfection into delivered cells, resulting in protein expression. During the development of mRNA therapeutics and vaccines, the ORF region was designed to express therapeutic proteins and antigens, respectively. Created with BioRender.com.
