title: DNA vaccines: a key for inducing long-term cellular immunity.
abstract: Over the past few years, major advances in several areas of immunology have provided a foundation for the rational design of vaccines against diseases requiring cellular immunity. Among these advances are the cellular mechanisms by which DNA vaccines can sustain long-term humoral and cellular immunity.
