    摘要: A novel immunogenic HIV-1 Env, particularly gp120, DNA construct is disclosed in which either the V1/V2 loop and the V4 loop, or all three variable loops, including V3, are replaced with a V3 sequence each of which is from a different viral isolate. Preferably, each replacement V3 loop is a consensus sequence of V3 of a different clade. Such constructs are useful as immunogens as each presents three independent V3 epitopes, so that the immunized subject generates a more broadly reactive neutralizing antibody response than with conventional gp120 or V3 DNA or polypeptide immunogens. Also disclosed are methods of using the DNA construct to immunize a mammal, preferably a human, particularly in a priming regiment in which the DNA immunogen is followed by administration of a V3 fusion protein boosting immunogen.

    摘要: Newly discovered structural characteristic of the gp120 V3 loop have resulted in a “rule” or algorithm, that is used in a method for determining whether a subject is infected with HIV-1 virus that expresses selectivity for CXCR4 or CCR5 chemokine receptors. A positively charged surface patch defined by V3 loop residues 11 and 24 or 25 at the base of the β-strands in the V3 loop and the homologous β2-β3 chemokine hairpin is responsible for CXCR4 receptor selection. Thus a method for detecting the presence of HIV-1 virus that is selective for X4-co-receptors in a subject infected with HIV-1 or suspected of being infected, from the amino acid sequence of at least a part of the HIV-1 gp120 V3 region peptide that includes residues 11, 24 and 25, or from the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid encoding said V3 region peptide, is disclosed.

    摘要: A number of peptide epitopes and fragments from three Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) cell wall proteins have been identified as early antigens that induce antibodies early during Mtb infection in humans. The proteins are Proline-Threonine Repetitive Protein (PTRP), PE-PGRS51, and LipC. These peptides, alone or in mixtures, or as parts of fusion polypeptides or peptide multimers, are useful as antigens for serological detection of early in infection by detecting the presence of early antibodies against these proteins, thereby permitting earlier diagnosis of Mtb infection than was heretofore possible by conventional means. The above peptides and other peptide-based compositions are also used as immunogens for inclusion in TB vaccines. Also provided are methods for early diagnosis of Mtb infection and for immunizing a subject to prevent or treat Mtb infections and tuberculosis.
