A METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE HALF-LIFE OF SOLUBLE VIRAL-SPECIFIC LIGANDS ON MUCOSAL MEMBRANES

摘要

This invention relates to methods of increasing the half-life of a viral- specific ligand on a mucosal membrane by modifying the viral-specific ligand to bind the bacteria colonized on the mucosal membrane. The invention also provides a chimeric molecule comprising a viral-specific ligand and a bacterial-specific ligand.
