1. A polyribonucleotide comprising one or more modified ribonucleotides, wherein the one or more modified ribonucleotides comprise:
(i) a 5′-monophosphate, and
(ii) a nucleoside comprising a 2′-O-acetylated ribose and a nucleobase,
wherein the nucleobase is an adenine, a guanine, a cytosine, or an uracil, and
wherein at least 80% of the ribose moieties of the polyribonucleotide are 2′-O-acetylated, and wherein the polyribonucleotide comprises a cap structure and the cap structure does not comprise a 2′-O-acetylated ribose.
