Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of inducing an immune response against a hepatitis B antigen (e.g., an antigen from a hepatitis B virus) in a mammal, which comprises administering to the mammal a priming composition (e.g., a DNA plasmid), comprising a source of one or more epitopes of the hepatitis B target antigen; and a boosting composition, comprising a source of one or more eptiopes of the hepatitis B target antigen (e.g., a non-replication or replication-impaired poxvirus such as MVA), wherein at least one epitope of the boosting composition is identical to an epitope of the priming composition. The present invention also is directed to a method of inducing an immune response against a hepatitis B antigen (e.g., an antigen from a hepatitis B virus) in a mammal, which comprises administering to the mammal a priming composition (e.g., a DNA plasmid), comprising a source of one or more epitopes of the hepatitis B target antigen. In addition, the present invention is directed to compositions for use in the methods of the present invention.
