  • Publication number: 20080300382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of improving the immunogenicity of an immunogen, antigen or hapten, by means of coupling with a small support peptide. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of preparing an immunogenic complex, as well as the complexes that can be obtained using one such method, and to the use of said complexes as a medicament in order to increase the immunogenicity of an immunogen. The invention comprises, for example, a support peptide which is coupled with a peptide from protein G of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and to the use thereof as a vaccine for the treatment of respiratory infections linked to RSV.
