Published purpose
RNAs were long believed not to be glycosylated. However, a recent report described the discovery of glycosylated RNA species, including Y5 RNA, in mammalian cells. The functional significance of these newly identified molecules is unknown. We propose to investigate the effect glycosylation has on the response of cells in culture to two different RNAs (Poly I:C and Y5 RNA). This work could have an impact in the field of vaccine adjuvants.
