  • MULTIMERIC PROTEIN COMPLEXES AS ANTIBODY SUBSTITUTES FOR NEUTRALIZATION OF VIRAL PATHOGENS IN PROPHYLACTIC AND THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20230382977
    Abstract: The present patent consists of an engineered multimeric protein complex as antibody substitute composed of human proteins, with an m-fold symmetry, with each m-fold element containing a modified monomeric protein derived from a symmetric human multimeric protein complex fused to a module containing n fused, modified human beta solenoid proteins (mBSP), and that fused to a human derived pathogen binding domain (PBD), as well as a separate antibody substitute composed of P human PBD complexes. The invention may find application in prophylactic and therapeutic treatments for viral infections, especially for COVID19 by neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
