Noninvasive Gene Electrotransfer in Skin [PDF]
The skin is considered as well suited for gene therapy and vaccination. DNA vaccines elicit both broad humoral and cellular immune responses when injected in the skin. Physical and chemical methods are needed to boost the expression. Gene electrotransfer (GET) is one of the most effective approaches.

Gene Electrotransfer: A Mechanistic Perspective [PDF]
Gene electrotransfer is a powerful method of DNA delivery offering several medical applications, among the most promising of which are DNA vaccination and gene therapy for cancer treatment. Electroporation entails the application of electric fields to cells which then experience a local and transient change of membrane permeability.

Radiosensitizing effect of intratumoral interleukin-12 gene electrotransfer in murine sarcoma
Background Interleukin-12 (IL-12) based radiosensitization is an effective way of tumor treatment. Local cytokine production, without systemic shedding, might provide clinical benefit in radiation treatment of sarcomas.

In vivo DNA electrotransfer into muscle [PDF]
Naked plasmid DNA injected into skeletal muscle is taken up by muscle cells and the genes in the plasmid are expressed. Among the non‐viral techniques for gene transfer in vivo, this method is especially simple, inexpensive, and safe. However, the relatively low expression levels attained by this method have limited its applications for uses other than

Cancer immunotherapy is currently one of the leading approaches in cancer treatment. Gene electrotransfer of plasmids encoding interleukin 12 (IL-12) into the cells leads to the production of IL-12, which drives immune cell polarization to an antitumoral
