THE ADJUVANT ACTIVITY OF ALPHAVIRUS REPLICONS IS ENHANCED BY INCORPORATING THE MICROBIAL MOLECULE FLAGELLIN INTO THE REPLICON.

The adjuvant activity of alphavirus replicons is enhanced by incorporating the microbial molecule flagellin into the replicon.

Ligands of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses and are considered as potent adjuvants.Combinations of ligands might act in synergy to induce stronger and broader immune responses compared to stand-alone ligands.Alphaviruses stimulate endosomal TLRs 3, 7 and 8 as we
