Abstract
The present invention provides methods of enhancing the immune response to an immunogen and to compositions for use in these methods. In particular the present invention provides a DNA molecule for use in raising an immune response to an antigen. The DNA molecule includes a first sequence encoding a targeting molecule, a second sequence encoding the antigen or an epitope thereof, and optionally a third sequence encoding a polypeptide which promotes dimerization or multimerization of the product encoded by the DNA molecule.
