  • Specific human antibodies
    Publication number: 20050152906
    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that bind an epitope of PSGL-1 comprising the motif D-X-Y-D, wherein X represents any amino acid or the covalent linkage between D and Y, and Y is sulfated, which antibody can be complexed with one or more copies of an agent. The antibodies of the invention can be used in a method of inducing antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity and/or stimulating natural killer (NK) cells or T cells. In addition, by administering these antibodies to a patient in need thereof, a method of inducing cell death is provided. A method of preventing infection by a virus (e.g., HIV) by administering to a patient in need thereof an antibody of the present invention is also provided. The, present invention also provides a method of introducing an agent into a cell that expresses sulfated PSGL-1 by coupling or complexing an agent to an antibody of the present invention and administering the complex to the cell.
