Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical/veterinary compositions including (1) an effective amount of nucleic acid molecule(s) comprising nucleotide sequences encoding (a) disease-causing agent-associated antigen(s) and (b) innate trained immunity immunomodulator(s), and (2) an effective amount of either (a) calcium phosphate nanoparticles associated with the molecules that detectably enhance cellular uptake of the molecules, immunogenicity of the composition, or both, or (b) a nonpathogenic bacterial vector that contains the molecules and detectably promotes delivery of the nucleic acid molecules. Immunomodulators can include signal transducing activator protein sequences, antigen(s) can include immune cell targeting sequences (e.g., alphaherpesvirus glycoprotein D sequences) or internal targeting sequences (such as polyubiquitin sequences), and expression products can include checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract: This invention provides new compositions comprising nucleotide sequence(s) encoding alphaherpesvirus glycoprotein D protein(s) (gDP(s)) and antigen(s) that induce immune responses. Such sequences typically encode gDP:antigen fusion proteins and typically also include feature(s) that significantly enhance immune responses such as (a) sequences encoding ITIC signal transducing adaptor proteins, e.g., SLAM-associated proteins (SAPs), Ewing's sarcoma-associated transcript 2 proteins, or both, or non-gDP checkpoint inhibitor(s); (b) sequences encoding antigen-associated targeting sequences, e.g., polyubiquitin sequences; (c) deimmunized/modified antigen-encoding sequences; (d) gDP(s) with modified sequence(s); (e) expression-enhancing introns; (f) transfection-facilitating agents; or (g) combinations thereof.
