SYNTHETIC PEPTIDES RELATED TO HIV-ENV PROTEINS

摘要

The invention relates to novel polypeptides. It particularly relates to polypeptides with a three-dimensional structure analogous to the three-dimensional structure of specific sites on the exterior surface of viral envelope proteins. It is of particular interest to the design of vaccines, diagnostics and other medical or scientific agents in relation to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
