On the one hand, they can boost the metabolism of T cells by inducing central regulators of energy metabolism. On the other hand, they can inhibit specific enzymes that regulate the accessibility to the genetic material and thus the gene expression in the T cells. In doing so, they induce epigenetic changes.

BioNTech/Pfizer’s vaccine became the world’s first approved COVID-19 vaccine, with UK regulators becoming the first to authorize it for emergency use, followed by Health Canada, which fully approved it. Among these, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is particularly useful for analyzing the transcriptome with respect to gene expression.
