1. A nucleic acid molecule comprising a polycistronic expression cassette comprising:
a first coding sequence for a human co-stimulatory molecule CD80 (hCD80);
a second coding sequence for a human interleukin-15 (hIL-15); and
a third coding sequence for a human IL-15 receptor alpha (hIL-15Rα);
wherein the first coding sequence for hCD80 is operably positioned upstream to the second and the third coding sequences, and
wherein the first, second, and third coding sequences are linked to one another via a coding sequence for one or more autoproteolytic cleavage peptides.
