2.2 The importance of pseudouridine in the making of RNA vaccines is: A) it reduces the tendency for the immune system to activate B-cells, which then destroy the vaccine before it can be taken up by cells. B) it reduces the interferon based response to foreign RNA, which would suppress translation and prevent the MRNA from being expressed as protein. C) Unlike uridine, it can base pair with either adenosine or thymidine D) because it is more negatively charged than uridine, it binds more stably to cationic lipids and can be packaged more efficiently.
