Zusammenfassung:Nucleic acid molecules encoding hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigens, HBV core antigens, and HBV polymerase antigens, and related combinations, are described. Also described are vectors, such as DNA plasmids or viral vectors, and RNA replicons, expressing the HBV antigens, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the expression vectors. Methods of inducing an immune response against HBV or treating an HBV-induced disease, particularly in individuals having chronic HBV infection, using the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are also described.
