DNA vaccination against infectious diseases has created a new field of applied molecular immunology. cDNAs for 'protective' protein epitopes can be inserted into vectors containing strong mammalian promoters for high expression. Here we discuss the mechanisms of DNA vaccination and the successful and sometimes unsuccessful applications of DNA ...

DNA vaccination or genetic immunization is a rapidly developing technology that offers new approaches for the prevention and therapy of disease. Regarding the inoculation method of DNA vaccine, we recommend the gene gun delivery system, which is a highly reliable method compared to intramuscular inoculation. DNA vaccines could have potential advantages

AbstractThis unit details some of the key methods for setting up and testing DNA vaccines in animal models. The basic procedures are discussed, as well as alternative methods that have been developed over the past several years. The gives step‐by‐step instructions for administering the DNA vaccine via intramuscular injection of the quadriceps muscle ...

Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) virus are worldwide problems often leading to the development of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Genetic immunizations with DNA encoding for structural and nonstructural proteins of HCV and HBV in experimental mice generate a broad base CD4+ and CD8+ cellular immune ...

Vaccination with DNA plasmids expressing Gn coupled to C3d or alphavirus replicons expressing Gn protects mice against rift valley fever virus [PDF]
Background: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arthropod-borne viral zoonosis. Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an important biological threat with the potential to spread to new susceptible areas. In addition, it is a potential biowarfare agent. Methodology/

Manganese-based nanoadjuvants for enhancement of immune effect of DNA vaccines
As a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, influenza A (H5N1) has been reported to infect humans, posing a major threat to both poultry industry and public health. It is an urgent need to develop a kind of effective vaccine to prevent death and reduce
