DNA vaccines: A safe and efficient platform technology for responding to emerging infectious diseases

Abstract excerpt

Traditionally vaccines are based on immunogens delivered as attenuated live microbes, inactivated pathogens, purified proteins, or virus-like particles. Newer generation vaccines are based on the delivery of genes encoding for a protein antigen that can be transcribed and translated by host cells. Despite current challenges to improve delivery and immunogenicity, DNA vaccination has several major advantages over...
