Genetic Immunization. Plasmid DNA and viral vectors can be utilized for vaccination by direct injection, often into muscle or skin. While direct transfection/transduction of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) at the injection site can occur, the transfected tissue serves as a source of vaccine protein that can be taken up as cross-presented by host APCs to activate antitumor immunity.
