Abstract
Abstract A recombinant peptide displaying the antigenicity of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) viral antigens is disclosed. The peptide comprises an antigenic segment having about 150 to about 400 amino acids corresponding to at least about 30 amino acids of the C-terminal of the gp120 domain and at least about 120 amino acids of the N-terminal of the gp41 domain.
