Abstract

The present invention provides T helper cell epitopes and compositions for use in inducing an immune response comprising at least one of these epitopes. The epitopes are contained within a peptide sequence selected from the group consisting of PRTSDRPVSYTMNRTRS (SEQ ID NO: 4); TRSRKQTSHRLKNIPVH (SEQ ID NO: 5); SHQYLVIKLIPNASLIE (SEQ ID NO: 6); and SPDKLLTFIASDTCPLV (SEQ ID NO: 25).
