  • COMPOSITIONS, METHODS AND KITS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING CD206 EXPRESSING CELL-RELATED DISORDERS
    Publication number: 20220016272
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing a CD206 expressing cell-related disorder by administering a pharmaceutical composition to a subject, the composition including a carrier molecule having a detectable moiety attached thereto. The carrier molecule has a dextran backbone, and at least one receptor substrate conjugated, directly or indirectly, to the dextran backbone, wherein the receptor substrate is chosen so as to specifically bind to CD206. A method of treating a CD206 expressing cell-related disorder is also provided, as well as an ex vivo method and kit for quantitating the number of cells expressing CD206 in a bodily fluid.
