Disclosed is a lipid
nanoparticle (LNP) encapsulating a
nucleic acid cargo preferably comprising
messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) The LNP comprises at least a cationic
lipid fraction, and a stabilizer fraction. The stabilizer fraction preferably comprises at least one polyethylenglycol (PEG) lipid. Furthermore, the LNP comprises at least one
glycerol dialkyl
glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipid, as obtained e.g. from
archaea of the
genus Sulfolobus, optionally among other
ether lipids. Also disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the LNP, such as an mRNA vaccine.
