Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0073430A2] The invention relates to a method that makes it possible to use the highly effective technology of vaccination with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) not only on sequence epitopes of proteins or peptides, but also on conformation epitopes. The method also permits the use of DNA vaccination for antigens that are not or are only partially proteins or peptides. The preferred inventive vaccine contains a desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as its principal component. This desoxyribonucleic acid codes for a peptide sequence which represents the immunological imitation (mimicry) of a conformation-dependent antigen including protein conformation epitopes or of an antigen that is not or is only partially a protein or peptide. The mimicry peptide, which is also or can also be part of the inventive vaccine, is either an antiidiotypic antibody, an antibody fragment, a peptide derived therefrom or a specifically binding peptide obtained by selection from a peptide gene bank. The invention can be used in medical and veterinary medical immunology, including in the adjuvant therapy of tumor diseases.
