Effective pulmonary delivery of an aerosolized plasmid DNA vaccine via surface acoustic wave nebulization

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary-delivered gene therapy promises to mitigate vaccine safety issues and reduce the need for needles and skilled personnel to use them. While plasmid DNA (pDNA) offers a rapid route to vaccine production without side effects or reliance on cold chain storage, its delivery to the lung has proved challenging. Conventional methods, including jet and ultrasonic nebulizers, fail to deliver large...
