"HIV PEPTIDES, ANTIGENS, VACCINE COMPOSITIONS, IMMUNOASSAY KIT AND A METHOD OF DETECTING ANTIBODIES INDUCED BY HIV"
Application 296/DELNP/2003 published 2007-01-12, filed 2003-03-04
The present invention comprises novel and modified peptides capable of inducing a HIV-1 specific immune response without antagonizing the cytotoxic T-cell activity in order to achieve an effective prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine against HIV. The peptides are based on conserved regions of HIV gag p17 and p24 proteins. Antigens in free- or carrier-bound form comprising at least one of the said peptides, vaccine compositions containing at least one of the antigens, immunoassay kits and a method of detecting antibodies induced by HIV or HIV specific peptides using such antigens, are described.
