Molecules and methods of using same for treating CCR5/CCR5 ligands associated diseases
View Patent ↗Soluble molecules are provided. Thus, for example, provided is a soluble molecule which comprises a heterologous amino acid sequence conjugated to a CCR5 amino acid sequence being capable of binding a CCR5 ligand, and wherein the molecule is devoid of an N-terminus domain of CCR5. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions which comprise the above molecules and methods and uses of same.
1. An isolated molecule as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4.
2. An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding the molecule of claim 1 .
3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient the molecule of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
4. The molecule of claim 1 , attached to a non-protein moiety.
5. A method of treating multiple sclerosis in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the molecule of claim 1 , thereby treating the subject.
