Nucleic acid molecules encoding cytotoxic conjugates that contain a chemokine receptor targeting agent
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A nucleic acid molecule, comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding a conjugate that comprises a toxin and a chemokine receptor targeting agent, or a portion thereof sufficient for binding to a chemokine receptor and internalization of the chemokine receptor targeting agent, wherein:
- the conjugate binds to a chemokine receptor resulting in internalization of the toxin in cells bearing the receptor; and
the receptor occurs on activated immune cells.

Abstract
Nucleic acid moleucles that encode conjugates containing as a ligand a chemokine receptor targeting agent, such as a chemokine, and a targeted agent, such as a toxin are provided. These conjugates are used to treat inflammatory responses associated with activation, proliferation and migration of immune effector cells, including leukocyte cell types, neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils.
