Enhancement of DNA vaccine potency in rhesus macaques by electroporation

Vaccine. 2004 Jun 23;22(19):2489-93. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2003.11.073.

Abstract

The potency of an HIV DNA vaccine was enhanced in rhesus macaques by in vivo electroporation, as judged by increased onset, magnitude and duration of antibody and cell-mediated immune responses against both components of a combination Gag and Env vaccine. These data demonstrate the utility of the electroporation technology for use in large animals.
