DNA Immunization for HIV Vaccine Development
DNA vaccination has been studied in the last 20 years for HIV vaccine research. Significant experience has been accumulated in vector design, antigen optimization, delivery approaches and the use of DNA immunization as part of a prime-boost HIV vaccination strategy. Key historical data and future outlook are presented. With better understanding on the potential of DNA immunization and recent pr...
متن کاملA novel formulation of Mtb72F DNA vaccine for immunization against tuberculosis
Objective(s): Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), an intracellular pathogen, causes 1.5 million deaths globally. Bacilli Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is commonly administered to protect people against M. tuberculosis infection; however, there are some obstacles with this first-generation vaccine. DNA vaccines, the third generation vaccines, can induce cellular immun...
متن کاملHIV Vaccine Development.
Several interesting new vaccine-related studies were presented at the 16th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections this year. Transmitted viruses appear to be derived from cell-free virus rather than cell-associated virus, at least in men who have sex with men. Follow-up studies from the Step (HIV Vaccine Trials Network 502) trial indicated that if individuals mounted certain va...
متن کاملHIV vaccine development.
For the past two decades, scientists have aggressively pursued the development of a vaccine against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The magnitude of this effort is unprecedented in the history of infectious diseases. However, difficulties in finding promising candidate vaccines have limited the number of clinical efficacy trials. The macaque model is well suited for the evaluation of potent...
متن کاملDNA vaccine strategies: candidates for immune modulation and immunization regimens.
DNA vaccine strategies can differ greatly, with significant effects on the outcome of immunization. In this article, we discuss plasmid design strategies and vaccine regimens. Effectiveness against a pathogen can be affected by the choice of antigen and inclusion of multiple antigens. Gene expression and the resulting immune response can be improved by gene modification and choice of promoters....
