Zusammenfassung: | An immunogenic compound that, being non-toxic, may be administered to humans, and is derived from an HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1 or HTLV-2 virus regulatory protein by chemical processing using a coupling agent such as an aldehyde, or from a carrier protein activated by pre-processing using an aldehyde, whereby said compound may be recognised by antibodies to said regulatory protein, and retain sufficient immunogenic properties to produce antibodies that neutralise or block the native protein, while losing at least 50 % of the toxic biological properties of said native protein. |
