Title:
METHOD FOR IMMUNOSTIMULATION USING BINDING AGENTS FOR THE FC REC EPTOR OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN A AND FOR CANCER CELLS OR INFECTIONS ANTIGEN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001072330
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for eliminating pathogens from the circulatory system of a subject are disclosed. These methods rely on the interaction between monomeric (serum) IgA and Fc alpha RI expressed on liver Kupffer cells. The methods employ therapeutic complexes which are made up of a first portion which specifically binds Fc alpha RI expressed on liver Kupffer cells, or which specifically binds monomeric IgA or the Fc region thereof, linked to a second portion which specifically binds the target cell or antigen.
