Title:
MUTATED ANTIBODY-DEPENDENT INFECTION ENHANCING DOMAINS OF HIV
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998001570
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
HIV virus mutants having an alteration which inhibits induction of enhancing antibody to said virus are described. Also described are HIV virus mutants in which an antibody-dependent enhancing domain in gp41 includes amino acid alterations. Also described are HIV vaccines comprising HIV gp160 mutants in which an antibody-dependent enhancing domain in gp41 includes at least one amino acid alteration.
