摘要:
In certain aspects the invention provides HIV-1 immunogens, including envelopes (CH505) and selections therefrom, and methods for swami immunizations using combinations of HIV-1 envelopes.
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 to bispecific molecules that are capable of localizing an immune effector cell that expresses an activating receptor to a virally infected cell, so as to thereby facilitate the killing of the virally infected cell. In a preferred embodiment, such localization is accomplished using bispecific molecules that are immunoreactive with an activating receptor of an immune effector cell and to an antigen expressed by a cell infected with a virus wherein the antigen is detectably present on the cell infected with the virus at a level that is greater than the level at which the antigen is detected on the virus by the bispecific molecules, and to the use of such bispecific molecules in the treatment of latent viral infections.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and, in particular, to a multicomponent vaccine and method of using same to protect against HTV-I infection.
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.
