Heterologous protection against influenza by injection of DNA encoding a viral protein

TL;DR: To generate a viral antigen for presentation to the immune system without the limitations of direct peptide delivery or viral vectors, plasmid DNA encoding influenza A nucleop protein was injected into the quadriceps of BALB/c mice and resulted in the generation of nucleoprotein-specific CTLs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a tuberculosis DNA vaccine

TL;DR: Results indicate that immunization with DNA encoding a mycobacterial antigen provides an efficient and simple method for generating protective immunity and that this technique may be useful for defining the protective antigens of M. tuberculosis, leading to the development of a more effective vaccine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preclinical efficacy of a prototype DNA vaccine: Enhanced protection against antigenic drift in influenza virus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DNA vaccines may be more effective, particularly against different strains of virus, than inactivated virus or subvirion vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterologous and Homologous Protection Against Influenza A by DNA Vaccination: Optimization of DNA Vectors

TL;DR: Immunization of mice with the NP and HA expression vectors resulted in protection from subsequent lethal challenges of influenza using either heterologous or homologous strains, respectively.
Patent

Polynucleotide tuberculosis vaccine

TL;DR: In this paper, polynucleotide vaccines were used to immunize mice against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) antigens in the spleens and lungs.
