Immunogenic compound comprising immunogenic fragment of apolipoprotein B100, immunogenic composition comprising the same and use thereof
Specific ApoB100 epitopes in an immunogenic composition induce an immune response to reduce lipid levels and associated diseases, enhancing weight loss and maintaining therapeutic effects by combining with GLP-1R agonists, addressing the limitations of existing cholesterol vaccines.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies lack an effective ApoB100 epitope with immunogenicity to reduce cholesterol levels and address conditions related to lipid metabolism, such as arteriosclerosis.
Development of specific peptide fragments of ApoB100 epitopes, including residues 2205-2210, 3662-3688, and 3380-3394, or variants with at least 60% sequence identity, which can induce an immune response to ApoB100, potentially reducing lipid levels and associated diseases when administered in an immunogenic composition.
The immunogenic compounds effectively induce an immune response, reducing ApoB100 levels, improving obesity and related conditions like fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and atherosclerosis, while avoiding the yo-yo effect of rapid weight gain by combining with GLP-1R agonists.
