摘要

Vaccine for protection against HIV infections, therapeutic agents for treatment subsequent to HIV infections, process for their preparation and their use; procedure for differentiation between HIV-2ALT type infections and HIV-2 infections defined by the prototype HIV-2ROD. Subject matter of the present invention are the virus HIV-2D205 as well as HIV-2 variants distinguishing from the HIV-2 prototypes of the type HIV-2ROD in that nucleotide sequence homology is less than 77%. Further, proteins and nucleic acids of HIV-2D205 and its variants for utilization as vaccines for protection against HIV infections, for geno- or immunotherapy, for establishing an animal model, and for differential diagnostics are part of this invention. Furthermore, the processes for preparing these vaccines, immunotherapeutic and diagnostic agents as well as their use are part of this invention.
