Abstract: The immune response to an antigen of interest, especially one in purified form, can be significantly enhanced by the simultaneous administration of an alphavirus replicon particle which expresses the same antigen. This allows for the use of significantly smaller quantities of the protein antigen than in conventional immunization strategies, and this new immunization strategy can also eliminate the need for boosting administration of the antigen or it can reduce the number of boosts required for an effective immune response to the antigen.

Abstract: A method of stimulating an immune response in a subject including administering a micrometer-sized particle coupled with an antigen to the subject, wherein increasing the aspect ratio of the micrometer-sized particle increases the immune response. A method of stimulating an immune response in a subject including administering to the subject a plurality of particles, wherein each particle is coupled with an immuno stimulating agent and a protein. A vaccine particle composition including a plurality of particles configured to release a first protein at a first rate and a second protein at a second rate and configured to provide priming and boosting capability in a single dose.

Abstract: The immune response to an antigen of interest, either in purified form or expressed via an alphavirus replicon particle, can be enhanced by the simultaneous administration of an alphavirus replicon particle which expresses interleukin-12. This allows for the use of significantly smaller quantities of the antigen and this immunization strategy can also eliminate the need for boosting administration of the antigen or it can reduce the number of boosts required for an effective immune response to the antigen.
