摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to anti-lipid antibodies and, in particular, to methods of inhibiting HIV-I infection using anti-lipid (e.g. anti-phospholipid) antibodies.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and, in particular, to genetic variants associated with restriction of HIV disease progression.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and, in particular, to a method of inducing neutralizing antibodies to HIV and to compounds and compositions suitable for use in such a method.
摘要:
A method of eliciting an immune response against an antigen in a vertebrate subject, the method comprising the steps of providing an antigen-adjuvant composition comprising the antigen and a substantially non-toxic adjuvant molecule having biological activity in mucosal tissues, and administering said antigen-adjuvant composition to the vertebrate subject in a manner such that initial contact occurs in mucosal tissue of the vertebrate subject, whereby an immune response is elicited. Cytokines are preferred adjuvants. Preferred cytokines are interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).
摘要:
The present invention relates to immunogenic preparations of peptides comprising amino acid sequences corresponding to antigenic determinants of the envelope glycoprotein of HIV, covalently coupled, directly or through a spacer molecule, to carrier molecules suitable for vaccination of mammals.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to CD6 and, in particular, to a CD6 ligand present on the surface of thymic epithelial cells, monocytes, activated T cells and a variety of other cell types. The invention further relates to methods of inhibiting the interaction of CD6 and the CD6 ligand, and to methods of screening compounds for their ability to inhibit that interaction.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to an immunogen and, in particular, to an immunogen for inducing antibodies that neutralize a wide spectrum of HIV primary isolates and/or to an immunogen that induces a T cell immune response. The invention also relates to a method of inducing anti-HIV antibodies, and/or to a method of inducing a T cell immune response, using such an immunogen. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding the present immunogens.
