A process for producing a stable formulation of hydrophobic HIV Th/CTL peptides first requires the preparation of a formulation buffer containing 12.5 mM succinic acid and 3% mannitol, and adjusting the pH of the formulation buffer to 1.7 to 2.1. The hydrophobic peptides are then dissolved in the formulation buffer, filtered and lyophilized. Prior to use, the lyophilized peptides are reconstituted with 12.5 mM sodium succinate, and then mixed with at least one adjuvant to produce an immunogenic composition that is stable at 2-8° C. for at least three hours.
