<p>A single-stranded nucleic acid molecule which encodes an amino acid sequence comprising at least a portion of a T4 glycoprotein. Additionally, amino acid sequences which comprise at least a portion of a T4 glycoprotein and are useful as a prophylaxis for treating a subject with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. These amino acid sequences, which are capable of specifically forming a complex with a human immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoprotein and which are soluble in an aqueous solution may be administered to a subject infected with a human immunodeficiency virus so as to block the human immunodeficiency virus from binding to T4+ cells. Monoclonal antibodies directed to the water-soluble amino acid sequences of the present invention may be used as vaccines for immunizing a subject against acquired immune deficiency syndrome.</p> |
