摘要:
This invention provides formulations of the anti-HIV therapeutic, CD4-IgG2, that contain higher concentrations of the therapeutic than were previously prepared, are stable, compatible with lyophilization, and safe to administer. These formulations are suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular delivery, the latter two routes being potentially useful for facilitating self-administration by HIV-infected individuals. This invention is also directed to methods of making the CD4-IgG2 formulations described in the disclosure, and methods of using the formulations to inhibit or prevent infect CD4+ cells from becoming infected with HIV, and to treat subjects having CD4+ cells infected with HIV.
摘要:
This invention provides formulations of the anti-HIV therapeutic, CD4-IgG2, that contain higher concentrations of the therapeutic than were previously prepared, are stable, and safe to administer. Methods for making high-concentration CD4-IgG2 formulations by first concentrating CD4-IgG2 to about 50 mg/ml in a buffer comprising about 6.7 mM histidine/2% maltose, pH 6.0, then lyophilizing the sample and reconstituting it to about 150 mg/ml in a buffer comprising about 20 mM histidine/6% maltose, pH 6.0, are provided. Such high-concentration CD4-IgG2 formulations are suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular delivery, the latter two routes being potentially useful for facilitating self-administration by HIV-infected individuals. This invention is also directed to methods of using the CD4-IgG2 formulations to inhibit or prevent infect CD4+ cells from becoming infected with HIV, and to treat subjects having CD4+ cells infected with HIV.
摘要:
This invention provides methods for inhibiting fusion of HIV-1 to CD4− cells which comprise contacting CD4− cells with a non-chemokine agent capable of binding to a chemokine receptor in an amount and under conditions such that fusion of HIV-1 to the CD4+ cells is inhibited. This invention also provides methods for inhibiting HIV-1 infection of CD4+ cells which comprise contacting CD4+ cells with a non-chemokine agent capable of binding to a chemokine receptor in an amount and under conditions such that fusion of HIV-1 to the CD4+ cells is inhibited, thereby inhibiting the HIV-1 infection. This invention provides non-chemokine agents capable of binding to the chemokine receptor and inhibiting fusion of HIV-1 to CD4+ cells. This invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an amount of the non-chemokine agent capable of binding to the chemokine receptor and inhibiting fusion of HIV-1 to CD4+ cells effective to prevent fusion of HIV-1 to CD4+ cells and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
This invention provides a composition which comprises a monoclonal antibody or a fragment of such antibody, wherein the monoclonal antibody or fragment of such antibody binds to the same epitope as antibody PA14 produced by a hybridoma cell line designated PA14 (ATCC Accession No. HB-12610) and a carrier. This invention also provides a method of treating a subject infected with HIV-1 which comprises administering to the subject an effective dose of the composition of the invention.

摘要:
This method provides a method for reducing HIV-1 viral load in an HIV-1-infected human subject which comprises administering to the subject at a predefined interval effective HIV-1 viral load-reducing doses of (a) a humanized antibody designated PRO 140, or of (b) an anti-CCR5 receptor monoclonal antibody. This invention also provides a method for inhibiting in a human subject the onset or progression of an HIV-1-associated disorder, the inhibition of which is effected by inhibiting fusion of HIV-1 to CCR5+CD4+ target cells in the subject. This invention also provides a method for treating a subject infected with HIV-1 comprising administering to the subject (a) a monoclonal antibody which (i) binds to a CCR5 receptor on the surface of the subject's CD4+ cells and (ii) inhibits fusion of HIV-1 to the subject's CCR5+CD4+ cells, and (b) a non-antibody CCR5 receptor antagonist, in amounts effective to treat the subject.
