| abstract |
DNA cancer vaccines and methods for their use are described. The vaccines are comprised of viral liposomes comprising nucleic acid, preferably DNA, encoding a tumor-associated antigen. The viral liposomes may be formed by the fusion of HVJ reagents with nonviral reagents. The vaccine may be administered subcutaneously, intradermally, intramuscularly or into an organ. The vaccine may be administered to induce a host normal cell to express the tumor associated antigen. |
