The encoded spike protein in Pfizer and Moderna is identical,[0] so it's probably not going to be that.
It could be a difference in the mRNA encoding leading to better transcription by our cells, or something to do with the nanoparticles used to smuggle in the mRNA.

- weaksauce 5y agoyeah it could be all of that and it could also be supply chain delivery/manufacturing techniques that cause the difference... who knows? I've worked with some generic drug manufacturers and some big name drug manufacturers and the clean room/processes are definitely different. it's above my paygrade as to why it is more effective though; that's for sure.
