[DIYbio] Re: Are DNA vaccines the future?

Yes, actually you are right. So one reason less to worry about it.
Regarding the other point "is it really free DNA?", with DNA vaccines you need to vehiculate the DNA inside the cell in some way. Lipid particles are one option, but not the only one and I guess that different vaccines have been tested with different delivery systems. However, wouldn't it be a very short moment between the injection and the absorption?

I'm afraid there are too many factors and the only way to evaluate it all is through a clinical trial in humans.

"In the case of DNA vaccine the non-self antigen is being produced and presented (on MHC-I complexes) by self-cells," Isn't that the case in every natural virus infection and attenuated vaccine?
