Abstract
Immunogenic chimeric proteins comprising an endoplasmic reticulum signal sequence and at least one other peptide are disclosed. The invention relates to the design of vaccinia virus constructs capable of directing host organism synthesis of immunogenic chimeric proteins which can be used as immunogens, as vaccines, or in methods of treatment for cancer, infectious diseases, or autoimmune diseases.
