Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein relate to methods and compositions for exponentially increasing antigenic stimulation of class I MHC CD8<+> T cell responses over that based in the art. Some embodiments relate to an immunogenic composition that enhances an immune response in a subject. In some embodiments, the immunogenic composition comprises an antigen in combination with an immunopotentiator or a biological response modifier (BRM). Overall, the invention disclosed herein demonstrates that increasing antigenic stimulation in a manner independent of the dose of the antigen enhances immunogenicity.
