Bispecific molecules comprising an HIV-1 envelope targeting arm

Abstract:

The invention is directed to bispecific molecules comprising an HIV-1 envelope targeting arm and an arm targeting an effector cell, compositions comprising these bispecific molecules and methods of use. In certain aspects, the bispecific molecules of the present invention can bind to two different targets or epitopes on two different cells wherein the first epitope is expressed on a different cell type than the second epitope, such that the bispecific molecules can bring the two cells together. In certain aspects, the bispecific molecules of the present invention can bind to two different cells, wherein the bispecific molecules comprises an arm with the binding specificity of A32, 7B2, CH27, CH28, or CH44.
