Abstract

L'invention concerne des méthodes pour diminuer le nombre de cellules infectées par le VIH ou de cellules sensibles à l'infection par le VIH chez un hôte. En pratique, cela se fait en exposant les cellules à un élément sélectif par rapport à une région V (ESRV) qui se fixe aux récepteurs des lymphocytes T (RCT) d'une famille définie de régions V (FDRV) qui est infectée d'une manière préférentielle par le VIH. L'ESRV à effet thérapeutique peut être un anticorps qui se fixe aux RCT d'une FDRV et il est capable de provoquer une cytotoxicité chez des cellules infectées et des cellules sensibles à l'infection, soit seul, soit en association avec des facteurs hôtes, soit encore fusionné avec une toxine. On peut diminuer le nombre de cellules sensibles à une infection par le VIH à des fins préventives ou dans certains cas thérapeutiques, par une immunisation avec un anticorps ou des récepteurs de lymphocytes T, laquelle induit une réponse immunitaire aboutissant à des anticorps qui se fixent aux RCT d'une FDRV associée à l'infection par le VIH. Ces anticorps diminuent la viabilité des cellules infectées ou sensibles à l'infection. On décrit également des moyens pour diagnostiquer et traiter des maladies dans lesquelles il y a une distorsion du répertoire immunitaire, y compris dans les cas où il y a peu d'informations sur l'agent pathogène ou les mécanismes de la pathogenèse. On réalise ceci en sélectionnant les anticorps monoclonaux permettant de détecter les changements du répertoire des anticorps caractéristiques d'une maladie, ce qui permet de faire un diagnostic et d'influer sur le répertoire du système immunitaire de façon contraire à la déviation caractéristique de la maladie ou de l'affection, pour la prévenir ou la traiter.
