To assess toxicity of LEISHDNAVAX in naive mice, sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, placebo) and ascending doses of the vaccine were injected either once or five times in weekly intervals (Table 1) . Twenty-four hour after single or repeated injection, MIDGE-Th1 vector DNA was detected in almost all organs and tissues examined, suggesting that it was distributed systemically, most likely via the lymphatic system and the blood stream. Groups of 10 BALB/c mice (5 male, 5 female) were immunized i.d. at the tail base five times in weekly intervals with either PBS or LEISHDNAVAX (10, 50 or 100 μg per dose). In summary, we have shown here that LEISHDNAVAX, a novel DNA vaccine candidate against leishmaniasis is safe and well tolerated in both naive and Leishmania-infected mice. ./cache/cord-001732-4eyn7pjq.txt ./txt/cord-001732-4eyn7pjq.txt
