DNA vaccines

Achieving a robust immune response is vital for vaccine development, our synthetic hpDNA technology offers a promising alternative to plasmid DNA. Bacterial sequences, antibiotic resistance genes and host cell contaminants are absent in the hpDNA constructs, ensuring a higher level of safety and regulatory compliance for DNA vaccine development.

hpDNA works in synergy with our Hermes®, non-viral delivery platform, helping drive stronger gene expression compared to plasmid DNA. It is also fully compatible with a variety of other gene delivery technologies, including electroporation (EP) and LNPs, giving you flexibility when developing your DNA vaccines.

hpDNA

hpDNA is a double stranded linear DNA, covalently closed with single strand hairpins at the 5’ and 3’ ends. Ideal for DNA vaccines and non-viral applications.

Benefits of using hpDNA

  • No bacterial backbone elements improve safety and compliance

  • Dose reduction compared to plasmid DNA due to absence of unnecessary backbone sequences

  • Synergy with Hermes® non-viral delivery platform with formulations optimised for hpDNA encapsulation

  • Accelerated timelines, ideally suited for personalized immunotherapy or pandemic response

  • Suitable for complex sequences, such as high GC content
