A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883534B2) discloses a method for eliciting an antibody response against an immunogen in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition intramuscularly. The composition includes ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules encoding the immunogen, such as various virus immunogens, and lipid particles with specific components. The lipid particles encapsulate the RNA molecules and have a defined size range. The method involves contacting the pharmaceutical composition with skeletal muscle in human or cow subjects to trigger the desired antibody response.

Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features of the method, such as the specific structure of the RNA molecules, including a cap structure and modified nucleotides. The lipid particles contain a cationic lipid with a specific pKa range and a PEG-conjugated lipid. The method also aims to elicit a cell-mediated immune response against the immunogen and involves administering multiple unit doses of the pharmaceutical composition sequentially. The patent provides a detailed procedure for determining the pKa of the cationic lipid used in the lipid particles. Overall, the method described in the patent aims to effectively stimulate an immune response against various immunogens through the intramuscular administration of a specific pharmaceutical composition containing RNA molecules and lipid particles with defined characteristics.
