MULTIPLE ANTIGENIC PEPTIDE DISPLAYING MULTIPLE COPIES OF AN EPITOPE OF PLAQUE-FORMING POLYPEPTIDE AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an antigenic product for inducing an immune response to a deposit-forming polypeptide, such as amyloid ß, which antigenic product is a multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) that contains multiple copies of an epitope of a deposit-forming polypeptide involved in a plaque-forming disease. This antigenic product can be formulated into an immunizing composition and used to elicit an immune response against a deposit-forming polypeptide involved in a plaque-forming disease or disorder.
