Abstract
This invention relates to novel peptides and proteins and nucleic acids encoding them, which are useful against HIV infection. The peptides comprise an amino acid sequence of a part of the HIV-1 p17 protein or of the HIV-2 p16 protein, from amino acid residues 31 to 45 or from amino acid residues 41 to 55. The proteins are recombinant p16 and p17 proteins having an alteration in helix A which is defined by amino acid residues 31 to 46, or the A-B loop which is defined by amino acid residues 47 to 52.
