Unfortunately, they can also trigger immune responses, and they are not super efficient at gene-editing some parts of the brain. These ribonucleoproteins also caused a lower immune response compared to the viruses, and are much easier to make in the lab. Promising new malaria vaccine for kids approved in Ghana.
