Additionally, anti-viral vaccines have been engineered with self-amplifying mRNA (SAM) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles and show an induced type 1 IFN Gene delivery for immunoengineering Neshat, Tzeng and Green 7 response locally when compared to TLR7 agonists [45 ] . Using lipid nanoparticles, the authors describe an antigen-agnostic combination immunotherapy via direct intratumoral injection of mRNA encoding immunostimulatory genes, leading to anti-tumor effect even at sites distant from the local treatment site. ./cache/cord-305177-i71z2sf4.txt ./txt/cord-305177-i71z2sf4.txt
