INDUCING CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSES TO HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS-1 USING PEPTIDE AND NUCLEIC ACID COMPOSITIONS

摘要

This invention uses our knowledge of the mechanisms by which antigen is recognized by T cells to identify and prepare human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epitopes, and to develop epitope-based vaccines directed towards HIV. More specifically, this application communicates our discovery of pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use in the prevention and treatment of HIV infection.
