The invention also provides a library including a plurality of such complexes, in which antigens of at least two of the plurality are different. Using such reagents, the invention provides a method of precipitating an immune response within an immune effector cell, wherein such a complex is delivered to the cell under conditions sufficient for the cell to mount an immune response to the antigen. When applied in vivo, the method can serve to immunize an animal from the pathogen. Moreover, using a library including a plurality of complexes, which contains at least one test antigen, the invention provides a method of assessing the antigenicity of the test antigen.Other References
