Abstract :
Pulmonary gene delivery is thought to play an important role in treating genetically related diseases and may induce immunity towards pathogens entering the body via the airways. We present here in vitro and in vivo methods developed at our laboratories to study carrier systems for pulmonary delivery of DNA vaccines.
