Abstract:

The present invention provides novel virus vaccines with augmented, e.g., enhanced and/or extended immunogenicity. The virus vaccines of the invention comprise an envelope-bound immunomodulatory protein, e.g., a cytokine, chemokine or costimulatory molecule. The immunomodulatory protein serves as an adjuvant to augment, e.g., enhance or extend the immunogenicity of the virus vaccine, thereby augmenting, e.g., enhancing or extending immune response to the virus when administered to a subject.
