Merger proposal
[edit]This article is unnecessary and any worthwhile information should be merged with DNA. -- September 2016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.202.254 (talk) 21:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Article was listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion June 30th to July 6th 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:
Merge with DNA and delete. Neutrality 14:50, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- No such request. Please specify whether you men merge and redirect or delete outright. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 21:42, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep in its present form. (1) It is useful to have keywords point to the general purpose article, so don't delete it. (2) It is also useful to have a short defn so that someone who comes looking for the keyword doesn't have to search a long article to find its defn, so don't replace it with a redirect. Wile E.

- Keep. Wile E. makes the cogent point that was nagging me but I couldn't elucidate. -- orthogonal 02:21, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- confirmed, (Homer voice: "Stupid [edit] this section links!") -- orthogonal 22:05, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Seperate entity to DNA. It will be expanded soon enough. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 16:41, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Second Paragraph Needs Work
[edit]SECOND PARAGRAPH:
"In the field of DNA vaccines or genetic immunization, the term "naked DNA" was coined by Vical to mean DNA delivered free from agents which promote transfection. Vical is an important vaccination produced recently working on the H1N1 virus vaccine. It needs lots of contributions so it can finish its studies on humans. The companies studies have shown 100% results in animals and is ready for humans but it needs to be completed to save people from the future pandemic. Research on the use of naked DNA for DNA vaccinations and gene therapy has shown some initial success, but have not yet resulted in any generally available therapy."
CONCERNS:
[1] "coined by Vical"
Who is Vical?
[2] "Vical is an important vaccination"
a] important = unsubstantiated opinion b] how does a vaccination coin a term?
[3] "needs lots of contributions"
solicitation????
[4] "have shown 100% results" and "shown some initial success"
a] contradictory b] no citation
