Abstract:
Aβ immunotherapies with anti-Aβ antibody responses have high potential as possible prevention treatment for Alzheimer's disease. We have previously shown that active DNA Aβ1-42 immunization via gene gun delivery led to a non-inflammatory immune response resulting in decreased Aβ levels in brains of an immunized AD mouse model. To make DNA vaccination more applicable for clinical use, we used here intradermal electroporation. With fine tuning of the electropulse parameters, high antibody levels and low levels of inflammatory cytokines in the cellular immunoassays were observed. Full-length DNA Aβ1-42 immunization delivered via electroporation has potential to be used in the clinical setting.

What is the Immune System?
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
