What is the structural similarity between Fas ligand and mRNA vaccines?
Fas ligand (FasL) is a membrane protein that induces apoptosis by binding to its receptor, Fas. It has a high degree of structural similarity between human and mouse, as indicated by their conserved chromosomal genes and cross-reactivity in inducing apoptosis . On the other hand, mRNA vaccines have emerged as a promising approach for preventing diseases due to their immunogenicity and rapid development speed . They are delivered using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems, which can vary in their efficacy . The structural similarity between Fas ligand and mRNA vaccines lies in their ability to induce immune responses. Fas ligand-specific autoantibodies can downregulate the production of TNF-alpha by T cells and provide protective immunity . Similarly, mRNA vaccines can elicit immune responses, with heterologous administration showing higher levels of immune response compared to homologous administration . Both Fas ligand and mRNA vaccines have the potential to enhance immune responses and can be explored further for therapeutic applications.
