A novel coconjugate comprising an immunogenic protein or protein complex having a first set of covalent linkages to low molecular weight moieties, -a<->, which have an anionic or polyanionic character at physiological pH, and a second set of covalent linkages to peptides comprising human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Principal Neutralizing Determinants (PNDs), or peptides immunologically equivalent therewith, is useful for inducing anti-peptide immune responses in mammals, for inducing HIV-neutralizing antibodies in mammals, for formulating vaccines to prevent HIV infection or disease, including the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), or for treating humans afflicted with HIV infection or disease. |
