Abstract

This invention pertains to vaccine compositions comprising a mixture of antigen, such as a pneumococcal or meningococcal antigen, and interleukin IL-12, which may be adsorbed onto a mineral in suspension. The pneumococcal or meningococcal antigen may be conjugated to a carrier molecule. These vaccine compositions modulate the protective immune response to the antigen.
