Title:
POTENT PEPTIDE FOR STIMULATION OF CYTOTOXIC T LYMPHOCYTES SPECIFIC FOR THE HIV-1 ENVELOPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1993018055
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Peptides having high activity in the eliciting of a cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gpl60 are described. The activation of 12-15 residue peptides by proteolytic degradation to shorter peptides is shown as are general techniques for characterizing such activation processes.
