  • Multivalent HIV immunogenic compositions comprising a pool of lipidated and nonlipidated peptides representing Gag and Env variable regions
    Patent number: 8029797
    Abstract: An anti-HIV vaccine composition is disclosed. The vaccine comprises an combination of immunogenic peptide mixtures, which mixtures may be prepared in a single synthesis. The composition collectively represents the in vivo variability seen in immunogenic epitopes from highly variable regions of HIV. Immunization with the vaccine elicits broadly reactive immunity (CTL and T helper cell responses) against the divergent strains of HIV upon which it is based. The vaccine may be formulated to target regionally distinct variability based on an HIV clade predominant in a geographical region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2011
    Assignee: Variation Biotechnologies Inc.
    Inventors: José Vidal Torres, David Evander Anderson, Franscisco J. Diaz-Mitoma
