“I read that CNN reported that US scientists suggested to extrapolate mRNA vaccines technology of COVID-19 for use in auto-immune diseases and cancers,” said Prof David Naor, the immunologist in question.
“I realized that I had already done this more than 10 years ago, performing research that showed the potential for mRNA vaccines to combat autoimmune diseases and cancers.” Practically, we used cDNA vaccines, which were the first generation of mRNA vaccines, and they were efficient in the therapy of animal models of autoimmune diseases and cancer.
