Immunization of ferrets with a plasmid DNA expressing influenza virus haemagglutinin (pCMV/H1 DNA) provided complete protection from challenge with the homologous A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) influenza virus. Delivery of DNA-coated gold beads by gene gun to the epidermis was much more efficient than intramuscular delivery of DNA in aqueous solution. The antibody response induced by DNA delivered by gene gun was more cross-reactive than DNA delivered in aqueous solution or after natural infection. This novel approach to vaccination against influenza may afford broader protection against antigenic drift than that provided by natural infection.
