Abstract: This disclosure relates to a modified ?-helical bundle cytokine, with reduced activity via an ?-helical bundle cytokine receptor, wherein the ?-helical bundle cytokine is specifically delivered to target cells. Preferably, the ?-helical bundle cytokine is a mutant, more preferably it is a mutant interferon, with low affinity to the interferon receptor, wherein the mutant interferon is specifically delivered to target cells. The targeting is realized by fusion of the modified ?-helical bundle cytokine to a targeting moiety, preferably an antibody. This disclosure relates further to the use of such targeted modified ?-helical bundle cytokine to treat diseases. A preferred embodiment is the use of a targeted mutant interferon, to treat diseases, preferably viral diseases and tumors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of disorders of the central nervous system, in particular neurological and psychiatric disorders, and the prevention and/or treatment thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to the finding that soluble amyloid precursor protein a (sAPP?) presents a particular binding site, which allows for binding to the GABABR1a receptor, thereby causing an agonistic effect through specific binding to Sushi domain 1 of GABABR1a. As a result, the frequencies of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents are reduced. Accordingly, the invention provides compounds able to interfere with the association of sAPP? with Sushi domain 1 of GABABR1a and as such with selective impairment of GABABR1sa beneficial in neurological and psychiatric disorders. The invention as well provides methods and (high content) screening assays for the production of said compounds.
