  • Toxin-related antibodies with antimicrobial and antiviral activity
    Patent number: 7722876
    Abstract: Anti-idiotypic antibodies which recognise the idiotope of an antibody specific for a yeast killer toxin possess microbicidal activity. Fragments (e.g. decapeptides) of these anti-idiotypic antibodies, particularly those comprising CDR residues, also show microbicidal activity, as do peptides having 5 the same sequence but composed of D-amino acids, or including amino acid substitutions. Peptidomimetics of these microbicidal polypeptides are also provided. Antiviral activity is also seen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 25, 2010
    Assignee: Istituto Superiore di Sanita
    Inventors: Luciano Polonelli, Antonio Cassone, Luisa Bracci, Neri Paolo, Luisa Lozzi
