  • Patent number: 10125173
    Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions and kits for treating and or preventing an HIV infection. For example, HIV envelope-like polypeptides (wild-type HIV polypeptides and mimotopes) may be administered to an individual so as to induce a protective immune response to HIV. Alternatively, antibodies directed to the HIV envelope-like polypeptides may be administered to an individual to treat or prevent an HIV infection and/or one or more symptoms associated with the infection (e.g., AIDS).

  • Publication number: 20120148594
    Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions and kits for treating and or preventing diseases having immunological components associated with their etiology and/or progression (e.g., an HIV infection). A mimotope that mimics an epitope of an antigen may be administered to an individual to induce or enhance an immune response for the treatment of a disease. For example, HIV envelope-like polypeptides (wild-type HIV polypeptides and mimotopes) may be administered to an individual so as to induce a protective immune response to HIV. Alternatively, antibodies directed to a mimotope may be administered to an individual to treat or prevent a disease. Antibodies directed to HIV envelope-like polypeptides may be administered to an individual to treat or prevent an HIV infection and/or one or more symptoms associated with the infection (e.g., AIDS). In another embodiment, the invention provides compositions and methods for isolating an epitope specific B cell.
