Thymosinforsterkning ved genetisk immunisering

摘要

This invention describes the use of thymosin to augment cellular immune responses to hepatitis C virus. Methods for immunizing a subject susceptable to hepatitis C virus infection against such infection, comprising administering to the subject one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more hepatitis C virus peptides, in combination with one or more thymosins, are disclosed. Compositions suitable for immunizing against hepatitis C virus, comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more hepatitis C virus peptides, and one or more thymosins, are also disclosed.
