Bovine vaccines.
From a May 2001 study
<<Conclusion
DNA vaccination is a promising technology to prevent diseases in farm and companion animals. The commercial development of DNA vaccines against certain pathogens that use veterinary species as their specific host, such as BHV-1, RV and PRV, is completely feasible, and will be helped by investigations into the mechanism of action of DNA vaccines using murine models. Efforts must now be concentrated on improving immunity in animals, by searching for appropriate adjuvants (CpG and other immunostimulating molecules) and the optimal route of administration, targeting the expression plasmids. The cost of the vaccine must also be taken into account. Plasmid purification is still expensive and the amounts injected need to be reduced if DNA vaccination is to be considered in breeding systems. Similarly, administration routes like g.g. that involve the use of gold beads cannot be applied to intensive breeding systems.>>

One of the big problems mentioned here is DNA cost and administration. The use of synDNA should help to resolve these problems.

Houndish it has been brought up on this board in the past about applications of the DNA expression technology and agricultural usage such as for crop plants. You talk of DNA vaccines which makes sense. Developing a bird flu vaccine for
domestic birds would certainly be nice. Mad cow desease where prions are involved would be more difficult I would think.
Any way in which Cytogenix technology could be utilized
would be great exposure for this company.

The one thing I hope for is that this company maintain focus on one or two projects. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
