Here the authors report an optimized self-replicating RNA (srRNA) vaccine approach that generates protective immunity at much lower doses than mRNA vaccines in mice. In a Phase 1 study using rabies glycoprotein as antigen, they show robust immune responses at doses as low as 0.1 µg, with a favorable safety profile.
