    摘要: Provided are methods of generating an immune response to an antigen. The method comprises priming an individual by administering an expression vector encoding the antigen. The vector comprises a transcription unit encoding a secretable fusion protein, the fusion protein containing an antigen and CD40 ligand. Administration of a fusion protein containing the antigen and CD40 ligand is used to enhance the immune response above that obtained by vector administration alone. The methods may be used to generate an immune response against cancer expressing a tumor antigen such as a mucin or human papilloma viral tumor antigen and to generate an immune response against an infectious agent. Also provided is a method for simultaneously producing the expression vector and the fusion protein.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to novel pharmaceutical compositions and methods of inhibiting or blocking one or more virulence antigenic factors of multiple strains of Bacillus anthracis in an individual. Specifically, it involves the administering of an expression vector alone or in conjunction with a fusion protein. The expression vector has a transcription unit encoding a fusion protein composed of an antigenic factor of Bacillus anthracis or fragment thereof attached via a linker to the aminoterminal end of the CD40 ligand. This fusion protein has the ability to generate antibodies and/or cytotoxic T cells which inhibit or block Bacillus anthracis infection in an individual.
