Journal ArticleDOI

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

Increased DNA vaccine delivery and immunogenicity by electroporation in vivo.

TL;DR: Electroporation is shown to substantially increase delivery of DNA to cells, resulting in increased expression and elevated immune responses, and electroporation appears to overcome this barrier to transfection in vivo.
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

Targeting the innate immune response with improved vaccine adjuvants

TL;DR: Rational approaches to the discovery and development of immunostimulatory compounds and vaccine formulations that target innate immune responses are considered.
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.
