5. DNA Immunotherapies: Disease-Specific T Cells by Design
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE T CELLS
Identify pertinent
disease-specific
antigen(s)
Encode DNA plasmid
with genetic code
for antigen
Deliver plasmids into
cells in the body (in
vivo), enabling them
to produce antigen
T cells eliminate cells displaying
disease-specific antigen
Immune system activates
antigen-specific T cells

Qualitative Assay
• Patient pre-VGX-3100 PBMC are targets, post-VGX-3100 PBMC are effectors
• Quantitative - PBMC added irrespective of Ag-specific CD8 frequency
• Qualitative - PBMC normalized to account for Ag-specific CD8 frequency
• Measure granzyme B delivery to targets
