Covid-19 Virus

March 15, 2023
This medical illustration shows how mRNA vaccines work to build immunity against Covid-19. The image displays the process of delivering mRNA into muscle cells of the upper arm, which instructs the cells to produce a harmless protein called a spike protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The immune system recognizes these spike proteins as foreign and produces antibodies and memory cells to fight off the virus. The Covid-19 vaccine's effectiveness varies depending on the vaccine and individual, but most prevent severe illness and death.
Understanding the Science Behind mRNA Vaccines: How They Help Build Immunity to the Covid-19 Virus through Spike Proteins and Antibodies

Description

This image depicts the process by which mRNA vaccines help build immunity to the Covid-19 virus. The mRNA is delivered into the muscle cells of the patient's upper arm, where it instructs the cells to produce a harmless protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus called a spike protein. The immune system recognizes the spike proteins as foreign and mounts a response to them, including the production of antibodies and memory cells. This response helps the body to build immunity to the virus, so that if a person is exposed to the virus in the future, their immune system is better prepared to fight it off. The effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine varies depending on the specific vaccine being used and the individual being vaccinated, but most vaccines are effective at preventing severe illness and death from Covid-19.
