the BNT162b2 sequence itself is not available though
- ceejayoz 6y agoThe sequence is that of the protein. That's how it works. The vaccine contains the mRNA sequence for the protein, so cells produce it, triggering an immune response. The "nucleotide modified" bit just means they replace some nucleotides with nucleotide isomers like pseudouridine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudouridine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudouridine) to keep the vaccine itself from being attacked. The sequence remains the same.
