Methods of treating, preventing and/or managing an immunodeficiency disease or disorder are disclosed. Specific methods encompass the administration of an immunomodulatory compound alone or in combination with a second active agent. Methods of boosting humoral immunity are also disclosed.

Compositions, kits and methods for boosting, or for priming and boosting, high titer broadly neutralizing cross-clade antibody responses focused on single HIV-1 neutralizing epitopes are disclosed. gp120 DNA plasmids comprising HIV env genes are used to prime the antibody response. Primed subjects are immunized with recombinant fusion proteins that comprise a “carrier” protein fusion partner, preferably a truncated form of the MuLV gp70 Env protein, and a desired HIV neutralizing epitopes. Preferred epitopes are epitopes of V3 from one or more HIV clades. Immune sera from such immunized subjects neutralized primary isolates from virus strains heterologous to those from which the immunogens were constructed. Neutralizing activity was primarily due to V3-specific antibodies and cross-clade neutralizing Abs were present. This approach results in more potent and broader neutralizing antibody levels, a result of “immunofocusing” the humoral immune response on neutralizing epitopes such as V3.

The invention provides human interleukin interleukin-2 (IL-2)/Fc fusion protein. The human IL-2 of the fusion protein comprises all sequences of a human IL-2 extracellular region; the Fc fragments comprise a hinge region, a CH2 region and a CH3 region; the human IL-2/Fc sequences are fused directly or through a connection sequence; and the Fc fragments are human or animal IgG, IgM, IgD and IgA orsubtypes thereof.
