Abstract: Compositions including a CD180 binding ligand and a linked Hepatitis B antigen and their use are disclosed. The Hepatitis B antigen includes Hepatitis B virus pre-S1 and/or pre-S2 region of the HBV envelope protein (HBVpre S1/S2Ag), L-HBsAg, MHBsAg, S-HBsAg, or antigenic fragments or mutants thereof.

Abstract: Reagents useful in nucleic acid immunization techniques are described. More particularly, adjuvanted genetic vaccine compositions are described, as are methods of using those compositions for inducing an enhanced immune response against a selected antigen.

Abstract: Methods for generating an immune response at a mucosal surface are described. Compositions suitable for use in the methods for generating an immune response at a mucosal surface are also described. In addition, methods for treating or preventing a disease caused by the entry of a pathogen into the body of a subject via a mucosal surface are provided.

Abstract: Recombinant nucleic acid molecules are described. The molecules have a first nucleic acid sequence encoding in antigen containing two or more cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes, wherein said epitopes are selected from the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and analogues of any thereof which can be recognised by a CDS8— T cell that recognises an epitope with the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Peptides encoded by the molecules and vectors and compositions containing these molecules are also described. Methods of eliciting an immune response using these molecules are also described.
