DNA vaccine mechanism of action, illustration
Illustration of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) vaccine (plasmid) entering an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell). The DNA is transported into the nucleus, where it is transcribed into mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) and then subsequently translated into antigen proteins, which then undergo further processing to generate antigen peptides. The vaccine can generate both B cell and T cell responses. For a labelled version of this image see F042/5628., by NANOCLUSTERING/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
