1. A vaccine comprising: (i) a yeast cell wall particle (YCWP) that is surface-modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI), (ii) a lysosome-evading component attached to the YCWP, and (iii) a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence encoding an immunogenic peptide from a virus or bacteria, wherein the nucleic acid is attached to the YCWP via a complex formed between the PEI and the nucleic acid, wherein intradermal administration of the vaccine to a human subject elicits an immunogenic response.
