<p>The invention provides immunogenic compositions which enhance beta-chemokine levels in a mammal. The immunogenic compositions contain an HIV antigen, an isolated nucleic acid molecule containing an immunostimulatory sequence (ISS ) and an adjuvant. The HIV antigen can be a whole-killed HIV virus devoid of outer envelope protein gp120. Alternatively, the HIV antigen can be a whole- killed HIV virus, or a p24 antigen. Also provided is a method of inhibiting AIDS, by enhancing beta-chemokine production in the mammal by administering to the mammal an immunogenic composition containing an HIV antigen, an isolated nucleic acid molecule containing an immunostimulatory sequence (ISS) and an adjuvant.</p> |
