Therapeutic DNA vaccines are mostly plasmidic constructs containing a strong promoter that allows in situ transcription and translation of one or many encoded proteins/antigens to induce protective cellular and humoral immune responses against different pathogenic organisms [1–5]. Currently, at least 114 open clinical studies are recruiting patients for distinct clinical phases using a DNAvaccine approach
