Abstract

The present invention relates to a leukemia-associated virus immunogens, vaccines, antibody combining sites and assays. The immunogens are relatively short polypeptides with peptide sequences corresponding to the antigenic determinant domains of a leukemia-associated virus envelope protein. The immunogens when introduced into a host stimulate the production of antibodies which immunoreact with the polypeptides and the leukemia-associated virus.
