The present invention provides conjugates of peptide derivatives of the
mammalian peptide hormones angiotensinogen, angiotensin I and angiotensin
II, presented in a repetitive scaffold by coupling the peptide
derivatives to a carrier, particularly a virus-like particle (VLP). The
invention also provides methods of producing such conjugates, and
immunotherapeutic uses of the resulting immunogen conjugates for the
therapy and prophylaxis of conditions associated with the renin-activated
angiotensin system.
