Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) induce activation and maturation of antigen presenting cells in young and aged individuals

Abstract Herein, we studied the impact of empty LNP (eLNP), component of mRNA-based vaccine, on anti-viral pathways and immune function of cells from young and aged individuals. eLNP induced maturation of monocyte derived dendritic cells (MDDCs). We further show that eLNP upregulated CD40 and induce...
