There's another reply here that describes it better than I can, but basically they can use the presence of luciferase to measure how well the vaccine components are being integrated, or as markers for the cells that have been trained, or whatever. Like it's good for tracking the treatments once in the body, like a barium milkshake for an MRI.
I still dont get why they want to test mRNA encoding of Luciferase instructions so that the body can produce it.
