IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING THE COMPOSITIONS FOR INDUCING HUMORAL AND CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSES
First Claim
1. A method for inducing an immune response in a subject, the method comprising (a) administering to the subject at least one dose of a first immunogenic composition comprising at least a first immunogen, wherein the at least one dose of a first immunogen is capable of inducing an immune response specific for a first designated antigen;
- and (b) administering to the subject at least one dose of a second immunogenic composition comprising a recombinant expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes the first immunogen,thereby inducing an immune response specific for the first designated antigen.

Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided herein for improved dual immunization strategies that induce in a subject an immune response that includes a humoral immune response and cellular immune response, both CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte immune responses, thereby providing a complete adaptive immune response to one or more antigens. The methods described are therefore useful for treating and/or preventing (i.e., reducing the likelihood or risk of occurrence) different diseases, disorders, and conditions such as cancers and infectious diseases for which induction of both a humoral immune response and cellular immune response is desired and beneficial.
