The present invention relates generally to a growth factor precursor and its use to select production of antigen specific catalytic antibodies. Such catalytic antibodies are produced following B cell activation and proliferation induced by catalytic cleavage products of a target antigen portion of the growth factor precursor of the present invention. A particularly useful form of the growth factor precursor is as a nucleic acid vaccine. The nucleic acid vaccine of the present invention preferably further comprises a molecular adjuvant. Another aspect of the present invention comprises a growth factor precursor in multimeric form. The growth factor precursor of the present invention is useful for generating catalytic antibodies for both therapeutic, diagnostic and industrial purposes.

L'invention concerne de manière générale un précurseur du facteur de croissance et son utilisation pour produire sélectivement des anticorps catalytiques spécifiques d'antigène. Afin de produire ces anticorps catalytiques, on active des lymphocytes B et on induit leur prolifération par les produits du clivage catalytique d'une partie antigène cible du précurseur du facteur de croissance de la présente invention. Une forme particulièrement utile dudit précurseur est un vaccin qui renferme des molécules d'acide nucléique et qui, de préférence, contient également un adjuvant moléculaire. Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne un précurseur du facteur de croissance se présentant sous forme multimère. Le précurseur du facteur de croissance de la présente invention est utile pour générer des anticorps catalytiques à des fins thérapeutiques, diagnostiques et industrielles.
