    摘要: The present invention provides for peptide conjugate compositions, methods of using the peptide conjugate compositions, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the peptide conjugate compositions. The peptide conjugate compositions comprise peptides with amino acid sequences similar to the gp120 principal neutralizing domain (PND) of HIV, gp41, and Nef (p27) of HIV and carriers which enhance immunogenicity. The peptide conjugate compositions of the present invention may comprise a multivalent cocktail of several different peptide conjugates. Also provided by present invention is a method for reducing the level of HIV titers in a mammal by administering to the mammal a peptide composition of the present invention in an amount effective to reduce the level of HIV titers. The peptide conjugate compositions of the present invention induce prolonged antibody response in serum, a high level of antibody in the mucosa, and the production of cytotoxic lymphocytes. The peptide conjugate compositions of the present invention also elicit neutralizing antibodies and decrease viral loads in a subject.

    摘要: Human myelin basic protein (h-MBP) has a molecular weight of 18.5 KD and contains 170 amino acid residues. Synthetic peptides ranging in length from about 8 to 25 residues and covering the entire length of the protein have been produced. Antibodies to h-MBP (anti-MBP) were found to be neutralized by the synthetic peptides, in vitro, which span the h-MBP from about amino acid residue 61 to about amino acid residue 106. The peptides, which cover both the amino (about residues 1 to 63) and carboxy (about residues 117 to 162) terminals of h-MBP did not neutralize purified anti-MBP. Intrathecal administratin of peptide MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) produced complete binding-neutralization of free (F) anti-MBP with no change in bound (B) levels. A control peptide MBP35-58 had no effect on F or B anti-MBP levels. Intravenous administration of MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) resulted in significant decline of F and B CSF anti-MBP levels. Administration of MBP synthetic peptides to MS patients either intrathecally or intravenously did not have any adverse neurological effects and systemic complications did not occur. The MBP epitope for MS anti-MBP has been localized to an area between amino acid 86 and amino acid 95.
