In vitro, pSCARSHc incorporating Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replicon could express AHc protein and induce apoptosis of transfected cells."
"Comparison with the conventional plasmid DNA vaccine (pcDNASHc) yielded several interesting results. First, our self-designed pSCARSHc could induce relatively higher AHc-specific antibodies and...
