Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to DNA vaccines that target multiple arenavirus agents singly or simultaneously.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A DNA vaccine comprising a nucleotide coding sequence that encodes one or more immunogenic proteins capable of generating a protective immune response against an arenavirus in a subject in need thereof, comprising: a coding sequence encoding a glycoprotein precursor of an arenavirus, optimized for said subject, wherein the coding sequence is SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2. 2. The DNA vaccine of claim 1 , wherein said coding sequence consists essentially of a coding sequence encoding a glycoprotein precursor domain of lassa virus (LASV-GPC). 3. The DNA vaccine of claim 1 , further comprising an adjuvant selected from the group consisting of interleukin-12, interleukin-15, interleukin-28 and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted). 4. A method of inducing a protective immune response against an arenavirus comprising: administering a DNA vaccine of claim 1 or 2 to a subject in need thereof, and electroporating said subject. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the electroporating step comprises: delivering an electroporating pulse of energy to a site on said subject that administration step occurred. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the administrating step and electroporating step both occur in an intradermal layer of said subject. 7. The DNA vaccine of claim 1 or 2 , wherein said DNA vaccine consists essentially of one of said coding sequences. 8. The DNA vaccine of claim 1 or 2 , wherein said DNA vaccine consists essentially of at least two of said coding sequences.
