ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed of reducing viral replication of a virus of the paramyxoviridae family in a host, comprising administering to the host an antigen of the virus in combination with an effective adjuvant amount of interleukin-12 (IL-12). Human viruses of the paramyxoviridae family include paramyxoviruses (e.g., parainfluenza virus 1, parainfluenza virus 2, parainfluenza virus 3 and parainfluenza virus 4), morbilliviruses (e.g., measles virus) and pneumoviruses (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus); other non-human viruses of the paramyxoviridae family include canine distemper virus, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, Newcastle disease virus and rhinderpest virus. A composition is also disclosed comprising a mixture of an antigen of a virus of the Paramyxoviridae family and an effective adjuvant amount of interleukin-12 (IL-12).
