DNA-based immunization induces continuous secretion of hepatitis B surface antigen and high levels of circulating antibody
1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
The possibility of inducing an immune response to a protein expressed directly from an introduced gene represents an alternative to classic vaccination. We evaluated the ability of plasmid-based eukaryotic expression vectors to produce the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) after injection of pure DNA into mouse tibialis anterior muscles. DNA was injected into either normal mature muscle, or regenerating muscle...
