INTRODUCTION
   DNA vaccine is DNA sequence used as a
    vaccine.
   This DNA Sequence code for antigenic protein of
    pathogen.
   As this DNA inserted into cells it is translated to
    form antigenic protein. As this protein is foreign
    to cells , so immune response raised against this
    protein.
   In this way ,DNA vaccine provide immunity
    against that pathogen.
HISTORY
•   In 1990, University of Wisconsin, Jon Wolff found
    that injection of DNA plasmids produce a protein
    response in mice.

•   In 1993, Merck Research Laboratories, Dr.
    Margaret Liu found that intramuscular injection of
    DNA from influenzae virus into mice produced
    complete immune response

•   In 1996, trials involving T-cell lymphoma,
    influenzae & herpes simplex virus were started

METHODS OF DELIVERY

Syringe delivery:-
                          Either
                     intramuscularly
                           or
                      Intradermally
Contd..

Gene gun delivery:-
                      Adsorbed plasmid DNA
                       into gold particles
                      Ballastically accelerated
                       into body with gene gun.
HOW DNA VACCINE WORKS

BY TWO PATHWAYS
ENDOGENOUS :- Antigenic Protein is presented by
                  cell in which it is produced
EXOGENOUS :- Antigenic Protein is formed in
                  one cell but presented by
                  different cell

ADVANTAGES

*   Elicit both Humoral & cell mediated
    immunity
*   Focused on Antigen of interest
*   Long term immunity
*   Refrigeration is not required
*   Stable for storage
DISADVANTAGES

 Limited to protein immunogen only
 Extended immunostimulation leads
  to chronic inflammation
o Some antigen require processing
  which sometime does not occur
CLINICAL TRIALS

June 2006,DNA vaccine examined on horse
      Horse acquired immunity against west
      nile viruses

August 2007,DNA vaccination against
 multiple Sclerosis was reported as being
 effective
Genetic Toxicity
Integration of DNA vaccine into host Genome


           Insertional mutagenesis
           Chromosome instability
            Turn ON Oncogenes
            Turn OFF Tumor suppressor genes
Over Expression of DNA vaccine

  Acute or chronic inflammatory responses

  Destruction of normal tisues
Generation of Autoimmune
diseases
   Anti DNA Antibodies

   Autoimmune diseases

   Autoimmune Myositis
Antibiotic Resistance

 Plasmid used is resistance to
  antibiotics for selection

 Raise the resistance to same
antibiotic in the host
FUTURE PROSPECTS

Plasmid with multiple genes provide immunity
  against many diseases in one booster



DNA vaccines against infectious diseases such
 as AIDS, Rabies, Malaria can be available
CONCLUSION

* DNA vaccines are in their early phase.
* There are no DNA vaccines in market at
    present.
* But this just the beginning .
* DNA vaccines are going to be the vaccines of
     next generation.
