    摘要: Apparatus and methods are described for pharmaceutical grade manufacture extrachromosomal nucleic acids from cell lysates using flotation to separate and eliminate undesired insoluble cellular debris including chromosomal DNA from the lysates. A gas is introduced to controllably generate bubbles that reduce the density of the cell debris and create a buoyant flocculent phase that can be readily separated from, and thus provide, a substantially clarified fluid lysate phase that is enriched in extrachromosomal DNA but substantially depleted of cellular proteins and chromosomal DNA.

    摘要: Methods are provided for producing highly purified compositions of nucleic acids by using a highly streamlined and readily automated process. The methods use static mixers for lysing cells and precipitating debris, followed by centrifugation and ion exchange chromatography. The process may include a purification step using tangential flow ultrafiltration. A scaleable process for producing pharmaceutical grade plasmid DNA, useful for gene therapy, is provided.

    摘要: Improved plasmids and methods for nucleic acid-based vaccines. The use of epitopes, small immunologically relevant protein sequences that are capable of inducing both cellular and humoral responses that result in a protective or therapeutic immune response against large and complex pathogens for incorporation into nucleic acid-based vaccines. The structures and characteristics of gene expression systems that are capable of expressing multiple epitopes. A method of genetic immunization comprising the step of presenting multiple epitopes to an organism in need of said immunization. A plasmid for expression of multiple epitopes comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding multiple epitopes, wherein each of said epitopes is capable of creating an immune response. A multivalent expression system as shown in Figure 8 and selected from the group consisting of two plasmids, two genes, IRES, and alternative splicing and a method of making a plasmid producing the appropriate nucleic acid sequence.

    摘要: The present invention, as noted above, relates generally to the incorporation of plasmid into a conventional dosage form, and more particularly to the production of a single-vial, homogenized, plasmid/polymer complex with desirable physical characteristics. Methods of making, storing and using such a complex are also provided and described in detail below. Such products and methods will provide more convenient and cost-effective complexes, which will be protected against chemical degradation and/or physical aggregation of its components and will provide for relative ease of administration. Thus, the present invention provides a more efficient complex for plasmid delivery and a method of incorporation of that plasmid into a conventional dosage form.
