摘要:
An agent for the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer comprises a recombinant prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) nucleic acid. The recombinant, optimized PAP genes are useful as DNA vaccines against prostate cancer. Preferably the PAP DNA vaccine is a modified form of the PAP cDNA sequence, which includes one or more of the following modifications; deletion of the signal sequence, codon optimisation for humans, linkage with an SV40 enhancer, linkage with a Kozak sequence, and/or linkage with a J-domain. The PAP gene may be a mouse gene, and may comprise the PAP A, PAP B or PAP C gene.
