PEPTIDES CORRESPONDING TO ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS OF HTLV.

摘要

The present invention relates to immunogenic preparations of peptides comprising amino acid sequences corresponding to antigenic determinants of the envelope glycoprotein of HTLV-I or HTLV-II covalently coupled, directly or through a spacer molecule, to carrier molecules suitable for vaccination of mammals. The invention also relates to the use of such peptides in diagnostic assays.
