Abstract
Novel synthetic peptides are provided which are candidate vaccines against HIV-1 and which are useful in diagnostic application. The peptides comprise an amino acid sequence of a T-cell epitope of the gag protein of HIV-1, specifically p24E linked directly to an amino acid sequence of a B-cell epitope of the V3 loop protein of an HIV-1 isolate and containing the sequence GPGR, and/or the gp41 containing the sequence ELKDWA. Multimeric forms of the tandem synthetic peptides are provided.
