Abstract:
Data generated in the early phases of experimentation in a new field of scientific exploration sometimes results in hasty conclusions about the generality of the data. To some degree, this has happened at least twice in the relatively new area of DNA immunization. Early data seemed to indicate firstly that particle-mediated epidermal DNA immunization induced predominantly Th2-type cellular immune responses, and secondly that DNA immunization was not very successful in humans. This review highlights the current body of data showing that particle-mediated DNA immunization is highly effective in the induction Th1-type responses and is an efficient method for inducing immune responses in humans.
