VACCINATION OF RHESUS MACAQUES AGAINST DENGUE-2 VIRUS WITH A PLASMID DNA VACCINE ENCODING THE VIRAL PRE-MEMBRANE AND ENVELOPE GENES
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
A nucleic acid vaccine for dengue-2 virus was developed, consisting of a plasmid DNA vector with the pre-membrane (prM) and envelope (E) genes expressed from a cytomegalovirus promoter. The DNA was adsorbed onto gold microspheres for administration by a gene gun. Expression was demonstrated by transfection of mouse cells in culture where the prM and E antigens were detected intracellularly, and the E antigen was...
