investigation of dna integration into reproductive organs following intramuscular injection of dna in mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: dna immunization with plasmid dna encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic, and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. the use of plasmid dna vaccinations against many diseases has produced promising results in animal and human clinical trials; however, safety concerns about the use of dna vaccines exist, such as the possibility of integration into the host genome, and elicitation of adverse immune responses. methods: in this study, we examined the potential integration and bio-distribution of pcdna3.1+pa, a new vaccine candidate with genbank accession # ef550208, encoding the pa63 gene, in reproductive organs of mice; ovaries and uterus in female, and testis in male. animals of both sexes were injected intramuscularly with pcdna3.1+pa. host genome integration and tissue distribution were examined using pcr and rt-pcr two times monthly for six months. results: rt-pcr confirmed that pcdna3.1+pa was not integrated into the host genome and did not enter reproductive organs. conclusions: this finding has important implications for the use of pcdna3.1+pa plasmid as a vaccine and opens new perspectives in the dna vaccine area.

The fate of plasmid DNA complexed with cationic lipids delivered intravenously in mice was evaluated at selected timepoints up to 6 months postinjection. Blood half-life and tissue distribution of plasmid DNA and potential expression in tissues were examined. Southern blot analyses of blood indicated that intact plasmid DNA was rapidly degraded, with a half-life of less than 5 min for intact pl...
