Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that vaccines against pathogens, exemplified herein by hepatitis B, can be formulated to enhance stimulation of Th1 type humoral and cellular immune responses by combining a lipid particle with an encapsulated immunostimulatory oligonucleotide (LNA). The LNA is further associated with an antigen from the pathogen. The vaccines may also use two or more different epitopes from the same antigen, or different antigens from the pathogen. Such vaccines are particularly effective in enhancing a Th1 type humoral response when the antigen is coupled to the lipid nucleic acid particle and when the nucleic acid particle has phosphorothioate (PS) backbone. An enhanced humoral response is demonstrated, for example, by a strong early peak of IFN-gamma production observed within hours of vaccination followed by second stronger peak of IFN-gamma production observed several days later, correlated with antibody isotype switching.
