Biodefense - DNA Vaccines

Advantages of DNA Vaccines


This non-viral approach offers a number of advantages over traditional small molecule therapeutic methods and viral gene therapy methods.
DNA vaccines offer multiple mechanisms of action including to:
  • use the body's immune system by producing the antigen in situ
  • or produce supraphysiologic amounts of an endogenous therapeutic protein
  • include the desired mammalian post-translational modifications
  • improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to intravenously administered protein
  • or deliver therapeutic siRNA (small interfering RNA) including shRNA (small hairping RNAs)
  • can be manufactured more easily, faster and in larger scale than alternatives
  • excellent storage properties

Numerous Routes of Administration

  • Needle injection
  • Electroporation mediated injection
  • Needless injection
