IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS

摘要

This invention relates to immunotherapeutic methods and compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to methods for eliciting specific antibody responses in immunodeficient patients using immunogens comprising antigen/T-cell independent carrier conjugates. According to a preferred embodiment, this invention relates to immunogens comprising peptides from the env region of the HIV genome coupled to T-cell independent carriers, which are useful in preventing or treating acquired immune deficiency syndrome and AIDS related complex.
