ENHANCED IMMUNE RESPONSE TO AN ANTIGEN BY A COMPOSITION OF A RECOMBINANT VIRUS EXPRESSING THE ANTIGEN WITH A RECOMBINANT VIRUS EXPRESSING AN IMMUNOSTIMULATORY MOLECULE

摘要

The present invention is a composition of recombinant virus which has incorporated into its genome or portion thereof a gene encoding an antigen to a disease causing agent and a recombinant virus which has incorporated into its genome or portion thereof a gene encoding an immunostimulatory molecule(s) for the purpose of stimulating an immune response against the disease causing agent. Methods of treatment of diseases such as cancer and diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms is provide using the composition.
