Abstract
The present invention provides methods of treating intracellular infections comprising the step of administering a vector construct which directs the expression of at least one immunogenic portion of an antigen derived from an intracellular pathogen, and also administering to the warm-blooded animal a protein which comprises the immunogenic portion of the antigen, such that an immune response is generated.
