  • Methods for genetic immunization
    Publication number: 20070021364
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for delivering a genetic immunogen, comprising a nucleic acid capable of expressing an antigen, optionally complexed with a polymer. The nucleic acid is delivered to the host via hydrodynamic intravascular injection resulting in expression of an encoded antigen in extravascular cells and induction of an antigen-specific immune response.

  • Genetic vaccines for cancer therapy
    Publication number: 20050036995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for delivering a genetic immunogen comprising a polynucleotide capable of expressing an antigen. The polynucleotide is delivered to the host via an intravascular route resulting in delivery to extravascular cells, expression of an encoded antigen and induction of an antigen-specific immune response. The methods may be used to enhance an immune response against a cancer cell related antigen.
