摘要:
The invention concerns treatment of infectious and tumoral pathologies comprising a anti-infective and/or anti-tumoral chemotherapeutic treatment phase inducing resistance mutations and a therapeutic vaccination phase directed against said resistance mutations and the agents used in said treatment More particularly, the invention concerns peptides of 8 to 80 amino acids of the HIV reverse transcriptase sequence and comprising at least a mutation with respect to said wild sequence of said enzyme, mutation induced in response to treatments by nucleoside and non-nucleoside analogues of the HIV reverse transcriptase. The invention also concerns a pharmaceutical composition or vaccine based on said peptides, for inducing an immune response specific of said mutated sequences and for enhancing or prolonging the efficiency of treatments with nucleoside or non-nucleoside analogues of the HIV reverse transcriptase. The invention further concerns epitopes derived from said peptide sequences to evaluate the specific immune response following the vaccine injection.

The invention relates to a method of prognosing and/or diagnosing a M. tuberculosis-Immune restoration syndrome (TB-IRS) in an individual infected with M. tuberculosis and optionally HIV comprising comparing the percentage or concentration of γδ+ or γδ+Vδ2+T-lymphocytes which express an inhibitory KIR receptor with a predetermined value.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and kit of diagnosis of Immune Restoration Syndrome associated with tuberculosis (TB-IRS) in patients infected with tuberculosis (TB) as well as in HIV co-infected patients comprising detecting an acute increase in Th1 response following exposure to mycobacterial extract, referred as tuberculin or PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) as well as to the 16 kDa protein, but not to ESAT-6 or CFP-10, two antigens from mycobacterium tuberculosis.
