1. A method of treating cancer in a subject comprising administering an effective amount of (1) a nucleic acid encoding p53 and/or a nucleic acid encoding MDA-7, (2) at least one agonist which preferentially binds to CD122/CD132, wherein the agonist is selected from the group consisting of an IL-2/anti-IL-2 immune complex, an IL-15/anti-IL-15 immune complex, an IL-15/IL-15 Receptor α-IgG1-Fc (IL-15/IL-15Rα-IgG1-Fc) immune complex, PEGylated IL-2, PEGylated IL-15, IL-2 mutein, IL-15 mutein, and IL-15 mutant bound to an IL-15 receptor α/IgG1 Fc fusion protein, and (3) at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor to the subject; and wherein the immune checkpoint inhibitor is an inhibitor of PD-1 or PD-L1.
