Abstract
DNA vaccines offer a unique means of stimulating and enhancing the imm une response, Subjects are vaccinated with the gene for a particular a ntigen rather than with the antigen itself-the foreign protein that el icits the response is made intracellularly, This new type of gene ther apy may not only extend the limits of immunoprotection but may also pr ovide new insight into microbiologic and immunologic processes.
