Claim:
An isolated peptide consisting of: (a) a 28 or 35 amino acid residue region of an HIV-1 or HIV-2 protein identified by an ALLMOTI5 sequence search motif; a 28 or 35 amino acid residue region of an HIV-1 or HIV-2 protein identified by a 107×178×4 sequence search motif; or a 16 to 39 amino acid residue region of an HIV-1 or HIV-2 protein identified by a PLZIP sequence search motif, and (b) an amino terminal X and a carboxy terminal Z in which: X comprises an amino group, an acetyl group, a 9-fluorenylmethoxy-carbonyl group or a hydrophobic group; and Z comprises a carboxyl group, an amido group or a hydrophobic group.
