Plasmid DNA Malaria Vaccine: The Potential for Genomic Integration after Intramuscular Injection
20 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Plasmid-based (naked DNA) genetic vaccines are now entering clinical trials to test their safety and efficacy in healthy human volunteers. A safety concern unique to this new class of vaccines is the potential risk of deleterious integration into host cell genomic DNA following direct intramuscular injection. To address this issue experimentally, a preclinical safety study was conducted in mice to determine the...
