ABSTRACT:
Nucleic acid molecule that comprise an incomplete hepatitis C and hepatitis B viral genome including specifically disclosed DNA sequences are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions that contain nucleic acid molecules comprising an incomplete hepatitis C and hepatitis B viral genome including a nucleotide sequence encoding a complete hepatitis C core protein and hepatitis B S gene protein operably linked to regulatory elements functional in human cells are disclosed. Methods of immunizing individuals susceptible to or infected by hepatitis B virus and/or hepatitis C virus comprising the step of administering such pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed.
