Plasmid DNA Vaccines: Investigation of Integration into Host Cellular DNA following Intramuscular Injection in Mice
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
The primary safety concern for DNA vaccines is their potential to integrate into the host cell genome. We describe an integration assay based on purification of high-molecular-weight genomic DNA away from free plasmid using gel electrophoresis, such that the genomic DNA can then be assayed for integrated plasmid using a sensitive PCR method. The assay sensitivity was approximately 1 plasmid copy/microg DNA...
