A MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMPLEX FOR TARGETING SPECIFIC PHAGOCYTOSIS OF A TARGET AGENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a multi-functional targeting comple x for inducing a specific immuno-stimulatory reaction, preferably, phagocytosi s, against at least one target pathogenic agent. The complex of the invention comprises at least one target recognition component comprising a molecule th at specifically binds to the desired target agent, an immuno-active component comprising an immuno-stimulatory agent; and optionally, a connecting compone nt that associates the targeting component and the immuno-active component. The complex of the invention provides an effective therapeutic prevention and treatment of various pathogenic disorders, such as mastitis in caws and furunculosis in fish. The invention further relates to compositions comprisi ng the targeting complex, methods of treatment and uses thereof.
