Problem
We have several vaccines against COVID, including RNA-based vaccines and DNA-based vaccines. These vaccines are being administered into our body to first make the Spike protein, which triggers the immune response and subsequently production of antibodies against the Spike protein.
I. Which type of vaccines needs to be stored at very low temperature?
II. Which compartment within the human cell does each type need to be targeted for the production of the Spike protein?
III. Which type of vaccines need both transcription and translation?
IV. Which type of vaccines need just translation?
V. Which type of vaccines have never been tried before this pandemic?
