Abstract
This invention is intended to discover a peptide that induces production of an antibody specific for an abnormal amyloid β peptide from mimic peptides of the amyloid β peptide and to utilize the same as a vaccine or immunogen. This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a peptide consisting of 8 to 30 amino acid residues, wherein the peptide comprises at least one of an amino acid sequence represented by formula (I): Tyr-Gly-Thr-Lys-Pro-Trp-Met (SEQ ID NO: 28) (I), and an amino acid sequence represented by formula (II): Leu-Asp-Ile-Phe-Ala-Pro-Ile (SEQ ID NO: 29) (II); or a conjugate of such peptide and a carrier.
