Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and compositions for modulating the quality of an immune response to a target antigen in a mammal, which response results from the expression of a polynucleotide that encodes at least a portion of the target antigen, wherein the quality is modulated by replacing at least one codon of the polynucleotide with a synonymous codon that has a higher or lower preference of usage by the mammal to confer the immune response than the codon it replaces.
