Abstract
Novel fusion proteins that enhance the immune response of an antigen are efficiently expressed and secreted by yeast host cells. The fusion proteins are recombinantly made by fusing the 3'-end of mature GM-CSF DNA sequence to the 5'-end of an antigen DNA sequence with or without a linker sequence. Methods of expression in yeast cells are provided.
