CA3138627A1 — Structurally defined sirna-dual variable domain immunoglobulin conjugates

USPTO Abstract

The disclosure is directed to dual variable domain immunoglobulin double-stranded RNA conjugates that are advantageous for inhibition of target gene expression, as well as compositions suitable for therapeutic use. The dual variable domain immunoglobulin comprises a first variable domain that binds to a binding target, and a second variable domain that comprises a reactive residue, where the linker is covalently conjugated to the reactive residue. The dsRNA is linked to the linker and is capable of inhibiting the expression of the target gene by RNA interference. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these conjugate and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these conjugates, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.
