1. A synthetic protein, comprising:
a synthetic Epidermal Growth Factor (sEGF) growth factor comprising at least one synthetic targeted signaling pathway (sTSP) domain of a human Epidermal Growth Factor (hEGF) TSP (hTSP) domain, wherein the at least one sTSP is 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical to the amino acid sequence NTENDCPLSHEAYCLHDGVCMYIEALDKYACNCVVGYVGERCQFRDLRWWDAR (SEQ ID NO: 33), excluding the following amino acid changes: T2S, E3D, N4S, DSE, E11D, A12G, V38I, F44Y, R48K, F511, and A52L;
at least one linker; and
an immunogenic polypeptide, wherein the at least one linker includes a first linker that separates the sTSP from the immunogenic polypeptide.
