VACCINES, IMMUNOTHERAPEUTICS AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

Compositions comprising isolated RANTES protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes RANTES protein in combination with isolated IL-8 protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes IL-8 protein and optionally further comprising an immunogen and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes an immunogen are disclosed. Methods of inducing an immune response in an individual against an immunogen comprising administering to the individual isolated RANTES protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes RANTES protein in combination with isolated IL-8 protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes IL-8 protein and additionally a target protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a target protein are disclosed. Methods of modulating an individual's immune system comprising administering to the individual isolated RANTES proteinand/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes RANTES protein in combination with isolated IL-8 protein and/or a nucleic acid molecule that encodes IL-8 protein are also disclosed. In addition, recombinant vaccines, live attenuated pathogens comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes IL-8 and a nucleotide sequence that encodes RANTES and methods of the same are disclosed.
