ABSTRACT:
Molecular adjuvants are disclosed comprising an antigen presenting cell-targeting ligand functionally linked to an immunogen, e.g. tumor associated antigens, bacterial or viral antigens, etc. Methods are disclosed for delivery of these molecular adjuvants to patients, resulting in the transduction of activating signals to the targeted antigen presenting cell, thereby enhancing the immune response to the co-delivered immunogen.
