Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides methods and compositions related to the discovery of molecules capable of both inducing an immune response to an antigen in a mammal and also effectiing clearance of the antigen, with such molecules comprising a first moiety comprising an antigen binding portion which binds specifically to complement receptor 1 (CR1) and does not substantially bind to complement receptor 2 (CR2), linked to a second moiety which comprises the antigen or binds to the antigen. Methods of producing su ch molecules and their therapeutic and/or prophylactic uses are also featured.< /SDOAB>
