  • Publication number: 20230338410
    Abstract: The disclosure features methods of reducing or inhibiting an anti-drug antibody response in a subject, as well as methods of reducing or inhibiting unwanted immune cell activation in a subject to be treated with a messenger RNA (mRNA), comprising administering to the subject a mRNA, e.g., a chemically modified messenger RNA (mmRNA), encoding a polypeptide of interest, wherein the mRNA comprises at least one microRNA (miR) binding site for a miR expressed in immune cells, such as miR-126 binding site and/or miR-142 binding site, such that an anti-drug antibody response to the polypeptide or interest, or unwanted immune cell activation (e.g., B cell activation, cytokine secretion), is reduced or inhibited in the subject. The disclosure further provides therapeutic treatment regimens designed to reduce or inhibit ADA or unwanted immune cell activation (e.g., B cell activation, cytokine secretion) in a subject being treated with mRNA-based therapeutics.
