摘要:
Pharmaceutical composition for treating/preventing HIV comprising (i) a polynucleotide encoding HIV envelope protein and (ii) a polynucleotide encoding CD4 receptor protein or; (i) a polynucleotide encoding HIV envelope protein and (ii) a CD4 receptor protein or; a fixed cell expressing an HIV envelope protein complexed with a CD4 receptor protein. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions for treating/preventing HIV comprising an antibody immunospecific for a fixed cell expressing an HIV envelope protein complex with a CD4 receptor protein. The binding of the CD4 to the HIV envelope protein, i.e. gp120, exposes hidden epitopes that may be used as targets in immunotherapy; the presentation of the gp120 and CD4 in the present forms is said to overcome problems with prior art soluble gp120-CD4 complexes.
摘要:
It has been discovered that herpesviruses can trigger an increase in the production of HIV-suppressive chemokines, and that these chemokines block the CCR5 receptor, which is used as a co-receptor with CD4 in the CCR5-tropic forms of HIV-1 that predominate in early stage HIV-1 infection. Use of live, attenuated or killed herpesviruses, or of herpesvirus proteins which trigger an increase in production of HIV-suppressive chemokines, or of nucleic acids encoding those proteins, can likewise be used to prevent establishment of HIV-1 infection or to inhibit HIV-1 replication. The invention provides uses, methods and compositions related to these discoveries.

摘要:
The present invention relates to set overlapping immunogenic peptides of a variable antigen, and uses thereof, in particular for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The present invention relates also to a sub-population of CD8 T cells associated with the non-progressive status in HIV-infected subjects.
