The efficacy of DNA‐based immunization in conferring protective immunity against certain microbial pathogens including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) has been described. The potential advantage of DNA‐based immunization over the traditional vaccines largely results from its capacity to efficiently induce Th1‐biased immune responses against an encoded antigen. We describe how Th1‐biased immune responses are induced by DNA‐based immunization, using a DNA vaccine construct encoding HIV‐1 gp160 cDNA and an eukaryotic expression plasmid carrying murine IFN‐γ cDNA. Transfection of an eukaryotic expression plasmid carrying immunostimulatory sequences (ISS) as well as a gene of interest (DNA vaccine) into professional antigen presenting cells (APC) induced transactivation of IL‐12 mRNA, which resulted in antigen‐specific Th1‐biased immune responses against the encoded antigen. Th1‐biased immune responses induced by DNA‐based immunization were substantially upregulated by a codelivery of an ectopic IFN‐γ expression system, and this augmentation was mediated via action on professional antigen presenting cells to upregulate IL‐12 production. Taken together, it appears likely that Th1‐biased immune responses induced by DNA‐based immunization are mediated via action on professional antigen‐presenting cells to produce IL‐12. Interestingly, the model provided strikingly resembles that previously described in infection with Listeria monocytogenes, an intracellular Gram‐positive bacterium that induces strong Th1‐biased immune responses. The result suggests that DNA‐based immunization mimics certain aspects of natural infection with microbial organisms like attenuated vaccines, which in turn provides a rationale to the question of why DNA‐based immunization so efficiently induces protective immunity against these microbial pathogens.
