COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSES

摘要

Methods for treating or preventing recurrence of hyper proliferating diseases, e.g., cancer and persistent viral infections, are described. A method may comprise priming a mammal by administering to the mammal an effective amount of a nucleic acid composition encoding an antigen or a biologically active homolog thereof and boosting the mammal by administering to the mammal an effective amount of an oncolytic virus comprising a nucleic acid encoding the antigen or the biologically active homolog thereof.
