Abstract
DNA vaccination has been evaluated with the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) model system. Plasmid DNA encoding the LCMV nucleoprotein, when injected intramuscularly, induces both antiviral antibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Injection of DNA encoding the nucleoprotein or the viral glycoprotein confers protection against normally lethal LCMV challenge in a major histocompatibility complex-dependent manner. The protection conferred is incomplete, but it is most probably mediated by the induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes.Entities:
