  • Patent number: 5672486
    Abstract: Stable polyligands are provided by preparing fused proteins, where the fused protein comprises a ligand at one terminus and a subunit of a multimeric unit protein at the other terminus, where the fused protein is able to assemble to provide a polyligand. The polyligands find use in modulating physiological processes by inhibiting ligand induced signal transduction by surface membrane protein receptors and/or in the case of .mu. chain use, by complement mediated killing or any other effector functions. The molecule may be composed solely, of human components to avoid an immune response by the recipient.
