Patent ID: 7273605

Claim:
A method for eliciting an immune response to a target disease-associated antigen in a subject which comprises the step of administering (i) a first composition which comprises a first non replicating viral vector; and (ii) a second composition which comprises a second non replicating viral vector to the subject in either order; wherein the first non-replicating viral vector comprises a fowlpox viral genome in which a nucleotide sequence encoding one or more epitopes of said target disease-associated antigen is inserted into the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 at a site that is nonessential for replication of said fowlpox viral genome, and the second non replicating viral vector comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding one or more epitopes of said target disease-associated antigen; thereby eliciting an immune response to said target disease-associated antigen.
