DNAVAxDB: DNA Vaccine database

DNAVaxDB: DNA Vaccine

A DNA vaccine is composed of a plasmid vaccine vector containing genes encoding one or more protective proteins from a microbial pathogen. DNAVaxDB is the first web-based DNA vaccine database and analysis system that curates, stores, and analyzes DNA vaccines and DNA vaccine plasmid vectors. DNAVaxDB includes only those DNA vaccines that have been verified to induce protection in at least a laboratory animal model.

The DNAVaxDB website includes the following programs:

DNAVax Query: Query DNA vaccines that have been experimentally verified and stored in DNAVaxDB
DNAVax Plasmids: Query DNA vaccine plasmids
DNAVax Antigens: Query protective antigens that have been used in experimentally verified DNA vaccines
DNAVaxAg BLAST: BLAST DNA or protein sequence similarity search against the protective antigens used in experimentally verified DNA vaccines
Data Exchange: Exchange of data stored in DNAVaxDB
Data Submission: A web-based interactive program for submitting DNA vaccine data.
