  • Patent number: 10006050
    Abstract: The present invention provides vectors that contain and co-express in vivo or in vitro immunogenic polypeptides or antigens together with an OX40L polypeptide, which functions as a genetic adjuvant. Together, the immunogenic polypeptide and the OX40L polypeptide elicit an immune response in animal or human, which is greater than the immune response elicited by the immunogenic polypeptide alone. In a particular example, the invention provides vectors encoding a Rabies G immunogenic polypeptide and a canine OX40L genetic adjuvant, which vectors elicit strong immune responses in canine against rabies virus.
