Lee and Cate's research hints that this secret lever, which triggers translation of only a special subset of mRNAs — perhaps only 500 out of some 10,000 mRNAs produced by a cell — will be found to play a critical role in other diseases besides cancer, as well as in plants and animals.

For cancer, he hopes to adopt a similar approach in which the transplanted nodes will contain T cells trained to hunt down the antigens produced by tumour cells and kill them off.

The study relates to a particular type of vaccine (killed) against a particular virus, influenza, though the findings might hold true for other killed vaccines and for those vaccines consisting only of proteins produced by GM in bacteria, yeast or insect cells, against diseases such as hepatitis B (HBV) and human papilloma virus (HPV, the causative agent of cervical cancer).
