Abstract:
The present disclosure includes a fusion protein, called a “Seldeg”, including a targeting component that specifically binds to a cell surface receptor or other cell surface molecule at near-neutral pH, and an antigen component fused directly or indirectly to the targeting component. The antigen component is configured to specifically bind a target antigen-specific antibody. The present disclosure also includes a method of depleting a target antigen-specific antibody from a patient by administering to the patient a Seldeg having an antigen component configured to specifically bind the target antigen-specific antibody.
