VACCINATION METHOD FOR EFFICIENT INDUCTION OF CYTOTOXIC T LYMPHOCYTE RESPONSE

摘要

A method for inducing an epitope-specific cytotoxic lymphocyte response in primates is disclosed. The method involves delivering a DNA-based vaccine that encodes an MHC class I epitope and a polyepitope and an MHC class I epitope and the hepatitis B core antigen into the primate, followed by delivering a modified virus vaccine that encodes an MHC class I epitope and a polyepitope into the primate.
