Title:
MOLECULES WHICH BIND CLEC9A
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/053008
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the identification of molecules which bind the dendritic cell marker known as Clec9A. The present invention provides new compounds for targeting therapeutic agents such as antigens to dendritic cells. Also provided are methods of modulating a humoral and/or T-cell mediated immune response to the antigen, methods of delivery of a cytotoxic agent to dendritic cells thereof involved in diseased states, methods of modulating the uptake and/or clearance of cells with a disrupted cell membrane, cells infected with a pathogen, dying cells or dead cells, or a portion thereof, and methods of modulating antigen recognition, processing and/or presentation, as well as immune responses to material derived from cells with a disrupted cell membrane, cells infected with a pathogen, dying cells or dead cells, or a portion thereof.
