The disadvantages of traditional vaccines, like being produced and purified with strict requirements on temperature, have limited their application, especially in developing countries.<p> |

We chose <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> as chassis to establish a transdermal vaccine fresh secreting band-aid which consists of four engineering <i>B.subtilis</i>, each of them carries a gene circuit independently. By using an excellent transdermal peptide TD1, three of them could express a series of fusion proteins(antigen, 2 kinds of adjuvants), which could penetrate the skin and work as traditional vaccine molecules. The fourth type is our "reporter" , which could notify users whether the band-aid works well and when they could stick or tear off the patch. Moreover, we designed a reliable suicide system in <i>B.subtilis</i> for the very first time in iGEM. Innovative and incredible, we plan to create a world without needles.<p> |

- | <p align="justify"> | + | The most obvious problem is to make antigen get across the skin barrier, and we looked up various transdermal methods, like Iontophoresis, Sonophoresis, Microneedles,all of which require special equipment and can harm skin. Our idea remained unrealistic until we find Transdermal peptide 1.<p> |
+ | <p align="justify">TD1 is an eleven amino acid peptide, which can greatly facilitate macromolecule transdermal delivery through intact skin. This was first discovered by professor Wen Longping in our university and the results were published on Nature biotechnology.<p> | ||
