<p>Immunogens and methods of making immunogens capable of inducing active immunity against a given agent. The method comprises generating antibodies against the target cell receptor to which the agent binds. The antibodies which mimic the agent's receptor-specific binding site, can be used as immunogens to elicit antibodies in a host which resemble the receptor's binding site and are capable of binding with the agent's ligand, thereby preventing the binding of that ligand to the target cell receptor.</p> |
