Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a cytotoxic agent for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of a viral infection which is configured for the selective binding to a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes, a pharmaceutical composition containing said cytotoxic agent, the use of the cytotoxic agent for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of viral infections, a method of finding cytotoxic agents, the use of a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes which is overexpressed in comparison to non-infected T lymphocytes for the diagnosis of a viral infection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cytotoxic agent for the treatment of an HIV viral infection, which is configured for the selective binding to a membrane receptor of virus infected CD4 + T lymphocytes, wherein the membrane receptor is CD134, the cytotoxic agent virostatic or a cytostatic agent, wherein the cytostatic agent is selected from the group consisting of an alkylating agent, a platinum analogue, an intercalant, a mitosis inhibitor, and a taxane, and the cytotoxic agent is coupled to an agonistic antibody that selectively binds to CD134. 2. The cytotoxic agent of claim 1 , wherein the agonistic antibody is selected from the group consisting of: MEDI6469 (9B12), MEDI6383, MEDI0562, Hu106-222 and Hu119-122 (UTMDACC). 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the cytotoxic agent of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
