Conjugates are disclosed comprising a broad range helper T cell epitope portion and a B cell epitope portion from a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), which conjugates are capable of eliciting an immune response in an individual against the individual's endogenous CETP activity. The conjugates are useful in methods to inhibit CETP activity, to raise serum levels of high density lipoproteins, and to prevent or treat cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.

Las conjugaciones se divulgan que abarcan una amplia porción del epitope de la célula de T del ayudante de la gama y una porción del epitope de la célula de B de una proteína de la transferencia del éster del cholesteryl (CETP), que las conjugaciones son capaces de sacar una inmunorespuesta en un individuo contra la actividad endógena de CETP del individuo. Las conjugaciones son útiles en métodos para inhibir actividad de CETP, para levantar los niveles del suero de lipoproteínas de alta densidad, y para prevenir o para tratar enfermedad cardiovascular, tal como atherosclerosis.
