A novel coconjugate comprising an immunogenic protein or protein complex having a first set of covalent linkages to low molecular weight moieties, --a.sup.--, 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.
一种新型共轭物,包括具有第一组共价键连接到低分子量基团-a.sup.-的免疫原性蛋白质或蛋白质复合物,在生理pH下具有阴离子或多阴离子性质,并且具有第二组共价键连接到包含人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)主要中和决定因子(PNDs)的肽或免疫学上等效的肽。该共轭物可用于诱导哺乳动物产生抗肽免疫反应,诱导哺乳动物产生HIV中和抗体,制备预防HIV感染或疾病(包括获得性免疫缺陷综合症(AIDS))的疫苗,或治疗患有HIV感染或疾病的人类。
