ABSTRACT:
The inventive composition comprises at least one type of antibody selected in a group (i) of anti-Env-SU MSRV/HERV-W antibodies or in a group of anti-TLR4 antibodies specifically linkable with the soluble fraction of an Env protein of MSRV/HERV-W or to a TLR4 receptor of the soluble fraction of the Env protein of MSRV/HERV-W.
