COMPOSITION AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING INFLUENZA PROTEINS

摘要

The invention provides compositions of influenza proteins, such as matrix and nucleoprotein, that are presented to an individual's immune system as multimeric displays to induce an immune response. The compositions are optionally associated with any type of immunomodulatory compound (IMC) comprising an immunostimulatory sequences (ISS). The invention further provides compositions of influenza matrix and nucleoproteins that can induce cellular and/or humoral immune response. The invention also provides methods of making and using these compositions, e.g., as a vaccine, for ameliorating symptoms associated with infection with influenza virus or for reducing the risk of infection with influenza virus.
