A Lassa virus mRNA vaccine confers protection but does not require neutralizing antibody in a guinea pig model of infection

Abstract Lassa virus is a member of the Arenaviridae family, which causes human infections ranging from asymptomatic to severe hemorrhagic disease with a high case fatality rate. We have designed and generated lipid nanoparticle encapsulated, modified mRNA vaccines that encode for the wild-type Lass...
