摘要
Most studies on DNA-based immunization have used viral promoters to drive antigen expression. Recently, the use of tissue-specific DNA vaccines has been favored regarding safety issues. In this study, we determined the impact of antigen localization and tissue-specific expression on the induction of humoral as well as cellular immune responses in a BALB/c mouse model, Thereby, we show that using the muscle-specific muscle creatine kinase (MCK) promoter/enhancer the efficiency of immune stimulation is strictly dependent on the ability of HIV-1 Pr55(gag) to be released from cells. By contrast, localization of Pr55(gag) and derivatives thereof plays only a minor role when antigen is constitutively expressed using the ubiquitous viral CMV promoter. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
