Abstract
A nucleic acid construct is provided for delivery into living cells in vivo for inducing an immune response in a patient to an antigen; the construct directing the expression of a fusion protein, said fusion protein comprising said antigen and an adjuvant sequence derived from a plant viral coat protein. Methods for making constructs and methods of using such constructs for the treatment of infectious disease, cancer and B cell malignancy, are provided.
