FILAMENTOUS BACTERIOPHAGE DISPLAYING PROTEIN AS A BINDER OF ANTIBODIES AND IMMUNOCOMPLEXES FOR DELIVERY TO THE BRAIN

摘要

The present invention relates to a phage display vehicle composed of a filamentous bacteriophage displaying on its surface, as a non-filamentous bacteriophage molecule, protein A or a fragment or variant thereof capable of binding the Fc portion of antibodies, and an antibody or an antigen-antibody immunocomplex bound to protein A or a fragment or variant thereof by its Fc portion. The phage display vehicle is formulated into a pharmaceutical composition and can be used to treat/inhibit or to diagnose a brain disease, disorder or condition.
