Abstract: The present invention is related to the use of the GHRP-6 and one structural analogue as molecular adjuvants for vaccines. Among other applications, these vaccines may be employed for preventing diseases caused by infectious agents, like viruses, bacteria and ectoparasites, that affect mammals, birds and aquatic organisms. The GHRP-6 and its analogue A233 are effectives as adjuvants when they are combine with a given antigen, since they enhance the specific immune response against it.

Abstract: Vaccine compositions that comprise at least one antigen based on the dengue virus (DV) capsid protein and the oligonucleotide identified as SEQ ID NO 1. The vaccine composition that comprises a fusion protein formed by the DV2 capsid and domain III of the envelope protein of the same serotype, together with the oligonucleotide identified as SEQ ID NO 1, gives rise to higher levels of cellular immune response and protection in mice as compared with that produced by formulations of the same antigen together with oligonucleotides with potential adjuvant capacity which were reported previously. The efficacy of the compositions that comprise the SEQ ID NO 1 oligonucleotide has been demonstrated in non-human primates. These compositions may be monovalent, bivalent or tetravalent and are combined in different immunization regimes with a view to inducing a functional immune response to the four viral serotypes.
