Physical-based gene delivery via biolistic methods (such as the Helios gene gun) involve precipitation of nucleic acids onto microparticles and direct transfection through cell membranes of exposed tissue (e.g. skin) by high velocity acceleration.

The history of DNA vaccine began as early as the 1960s with the discovery that naked DNA can transfect mammalian cells in vivo. In 1992, the evidence that such transfection could lead to the generation of antigen-specific antibody responses was obtained and supported the development of this technology as a novel vaccine platform. The technology then attracted immense interest and high hopes in vaccinology, as evidence of high immunogenicity and protection against virulent challenges accumulated from several animal models for several diseases.

Biolistic transfection is a popular and versatile tool for plant transformation. A key step in the biolistic process is the binding of DNA to the heavy microprojectile using a delivery agent, usually a positively charged molecule containing amine groups. Currently, the choice of the commercial delivery agent is mostly limited to spermidine.

Genetic immunization is a simple, cost-effective, and powerful tool for inducing innate and adaptive immune responses to combat infectious diseases and difficult-to-treat illnesses. DNA immunization is increasingly used in the generation of monoclonal antibodies against targets for which pure proteins are unavailable or are difficult to express and purify (e.g.

Since CD8 T cells have immunological memory and can eliminate tumor or infected cells, antigen-specific CD8 T cell inducing DNA vaccines are potential next-generation vaccines. However, the relationship between single amino acid deletion of target antigens in plasmid DNA vaccines and vaccine efficacy is not completely understood. To address this knowledge disparity and improve DNA vaccine development, two constructs cytosolic form of ovalbumin, pOVAv (346 amino acids) and pOVAy (345 amino acids) were constructed and compared.
