  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003366",
  "term": "DNA vaccination",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of immunization that involves introducing a plasmid DNA encoding a specific antigen into a host organism. The host cells then express the antigen, triggering an immune response without the need for live pathogens. This approach can induce both humoral and cellular immunity, offering a potentially safer and more stable vaccine platform.",
