Abstract
The subject invention relates to a peptide having the amino acid sequence Glu-Ile-Cys-Thr-Glu-Met-Glu-Lys-Glu-Gly-Lys-Ile-Ser-Lys-Ile-Gly-Pro or portions thereof. This peptide is derived from, or based upon, a region of a relatively conserved epitope of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The peptide may be utilized in the treatment of patients having human immunodeficiency virus or in the prevention of infection of those individuals who have been exposed to the disease, yet have not become sero-positive. The preparation containing the peptide may be administered either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously.
