The present invention is drawn to compositions and methods to enhance an immune response in order to prevent or treat infections or hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. More particularly, the composition is an immunostimulatory intracellular signaling peptide fused directly or indirectly to a peptide that leads to multimerization into complexes of three or more units, where the intracelluar signaling peptide must be present in a complex of three or more units in order to stimulate an immune response. Inserting this fusion construct into viruses like HIV-1 or introducing it into dendritic cells or tumor cells is predicted to lead to a positive therapeutic effect in humans, non-human mammals, birds, and fish.
本发明涉及增强免疫反应以预防或治疗感染或过度增殖性疾病(如癌症)的组合物和方法。更具体地说,本发明的组合物是一种免疫刺激性细胞内信号肽,它直接或间接地与一种能导致多聚化成三个或更多单元复合物的肽融合,其中细胞内信号肽必须存在于三个或更多单元的复合物中,才能刺激免疫反应。据预测,将这种融合构建体植入 HIV-1 等病毒中,或将其引入树突状细胞或肿瘤细胞中,将对人类、非人类哺乳动物、鸟类和鱼类产生积极的治疗效果。
