Gene electrotransfer for DNA immunotherapy in veterinary oncology: Technical Tutorial Video

To demonstrate the technique of gene electrotransfer (GET) for administration of plasmid DNA immunotherapy in veterinary oncology.

The method demonstrated in the video is relevant to both canine and feline cancer patients undergoing administration of DNA immunotherapies.

This Technical Tutorial Video demonstrates patient preparation, IM plasmid administration, electrode positioning, electroporation pulse delivery, and postprocedural assessment for a GET procedure. Required equipment, procedure workflow, and practical technical considerations are reviewed.

The video illustrates the general workflow for delivery of plasmid DNA immunotherapy using IM GET under general anesthesia, including patient preparation, plasmid administration, pulse delivery, and patient monitoring.

GET is increasingly used in veterinary oncology to facilitate delivery of DNA immunotherapies targeting tumor-associated antigens and immunomodulatory molecules. This tutorial provides a practical overview of the technique.
