MODIFIED CYTOKINES FOR THERAPEUTIC USE

摘要

The object of the present invention is a new method and new products for the therapeutic use of cytokines. The method is based on the sequential administration of a component A (e.g. a biotinylated antibody) able to deliver onto a particular pathologic target a second component B (e.g. avidin), followed by a component able to bind the component B (component C) (e.g. biotin), conjugated with the cytokines. The method permits to increase the local concentration of the modified cytokines (C-cytokines) through the interaction with the "artificial" receptor B and to cause a local biologic response mediated by "natural" receptors.
