Adenovirus-vector vaccines and mRNA vaccines both involve the introduction of pieces of viral DNA or viral RNA, respectively, into the human patient. In both cases, the objective is to enable the patient's cells to produce the viral spike protein. a. enable the patient's cells to produce the viral spike protein. b. inhibit viral polymerase. c. inhibit neuraminidase. d. inhibit reverse transcriptase.

Step 1
They work by introducing genetic material from the virus into the human body. a. The purpose of introducing this genetic material is to enable the patient's cells to produce the viral spike protein. This is correct because the production of the spike protein Show more…
