PACKAGED VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention is related to the fields of vaccinology, immunology and medicine. The invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing immunological responses against antigens coupled or fused to virus-like particles (VLPs) packaged with immunostimulatory nucleic acids, preferably oligonucleotides containing at least one non-methylated CpG sequence and a toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand. The invention can be used to induce strong antibody and T cell responses particularly useful for the treatment of allergies, tumors and chronic viral diseases as well as other chronic diseases.
