Immunization with DNA vaccines expressing Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE) induced formation of specific antibodies in mice. The antibody response correlated with the level of in vitro gE expression if the plasmid was inoculated intradermally (i.d.) with a gene gun but not if intramuscular (i.m.) injection was used. The i.d. vaccination produced a higher antibody level than the i.m. one even though a 100-fold amount of DNA was administered. A plasmid expressing a truncated form of gE was less immunogenic. The magnitude of antibody response induced by immunization with recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVVs) was equivalent to the gene gun vaccination. Administration of DNA by i.m. route or Vaccinia virus (VV) gE by i.d. mute resulted in predominance of IgG2a in the response while the gene gun plasmid inoculation usually elicited similar levels of IgG1 and IgG2a. The antibody response elicited by DNA vaccine was boosted by a secondary immunization with rVV. The boosting effect was highest if the virus was administered intraperitoneal (i.p.).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
