Advantages of Minicircle vector transfection

Compared to conventional plasmids, minicircle vectors have been demonstrated to greatly enhance transfection efficiency and to be capable of producing persistent high level of transgene expression in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, minicircle DNA-based nonviral vector systems are advantageous over viral vector systems, such as much smaller size, better safety profile, no risk of insertional mutagenesis and no host immune and inflammatory response.

 

Vectors Advantages Disadvantages
Minicircle

Smaller DNA size (mainly, expression cassette)
Higher transfection efficiency than plasmid DNA
No silencing effect  on transgene expression caused by bacterial back bone
Persistent  gene expression
Suitable for in vitro and in vivo applications
Not infectious 
Essentially no limit to cloning capacity
No integration
Nonpathogenic
No cytotoxicity

No host immune response
