NEW VS OLD METHOD II. "... Teams at JCVI, are world leaders in the design and construction of such large gene constructs. It took the team only approximately 10 hours to construct and assemble the synthetic ... cassettes... This method enables the rapid and accurate conversion of digital sequence information to biologically active DNA." http://www.jcvi.org/cms/press/press-releases/full-text/article/research-team-publishes-new-methods-for-synthetic-generation-of-influenza-vaccines/#sthash.aepwVBDD.dpuf View in LinkedIn

NEXT GENERATION DNA VACCINES I: "A radically new approach to vaccination has been developed. It involves ... a plasmid containing the DNA sequence encoding the antigen(s) against which an immune response is sought, and relies on the in situ production of the target antigen." http://www.who.int/biologicals/areas/vaccines/dna/en/ View in LinkedIn

NEXT GENERATION DNA VACCINES II: "This approach offers a number of potential advantages over traditional approaches, including the stimulation of both B- and T-cell responses, improved vaccine stability, the absence of any infectious agent and the relative ease of large-scale manufacture." http://www.who.int/biologicals/areas/vaccines/dna/en/ View in LinkedIn

DNA VACCINE FOOTNOTE. This approach is actually not new, and was an unwanted byproduct of early gene therapy. Pharma has largely taken a backseat approach to DNA vaccines, and frankly it takes a luminary like Venter and a forward looking agency like DARPA to propel it into the limelight. At last.

DNA VACCINE TIDAL WAVE. No human DNA vaccines have been approved yet. But over 100 are in clinical trials for conditions including cancer. Three animal DNA vaccines have been approved and are on the market, and numerous others are under investigation. http://lnkd.in/djk7TPC View in LinkedIn

DNA VACCINE TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_vaccination View in LinkedIn

DARPA FUNDED THE VENTER DNA VACCINE MACHINE. "We call it a Digital Biological Converter. And we have the prototype ... (To) receive DNA sequences over the internet to synthesise proteins, viruses and even living cells. The current prototype ... is eight feet long and six feet high ... The current prototype can produce only DNA, not proteins or living cells ... Some vaccines are made using just DNA molecules." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn

VENTER'S DIGITAL BIOLOGICAL CONVERTER. "If there is a pandemic ... you can download the vaccine in a couple of seconds from the internet ... That digital file would allow DBCs ... to "just spit out a loaded syringe" ... their current prototype is already capable of producing DNA precisely enough that it could be used as a vaccine." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn

VENTER'S DBC FOR DNA VACCINES. "The future will be that if you have a [bacterial] infection you quickly get its genome sequenced – that will take minutes – and in a very short period of time we could design a phage that would attack just that bacteria very specifically ... making just the DNA of the one a person needs is enough ...The DNA is the drug that kills the bacteria." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn

VENTER'S DIGITIZED LIFE SENDING UNIT. "The sending unit's job is to sample robotically, sequence a genome from the sample, and generate a digital DNA file that is then sent to a DBC to recreate the original life in a new location." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn
