[FR Doc. 2014–00123 Filed 1–8–14; 8:45 am] PMANGRUM on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Bispecific Antibodies To Target Latent HIV–1 Infection BILLING CODE 4140–01–P Description of Technology: The invention describes bispecific antibodies designed to kill latently HIV– 1 infected T cells. It is thought that such bispecific antibodies will reduce or eliminate the pool of HIV–1 infected cells, contributing to functional cure. The antibody constructs comprise an HIV Env-binding fragment of a broadly neutralizing antibody linked to an antiCD3 single chain variable fragment (scFv). One embodiment is a VRC01 scFv linked to the anti-CD3 scFv . Other embodiments comprise Fab fragments of VRC07 or 10E8 antibodies linked to the anti-CD3 scFv. The bispecific antibody simultaneously stimulates infected cells to express gp120, instructs cytotoxic T cells to kill these cells, and neutralizes extraneous viral particles. Potential Commercial Applications: Immunotherapy of HAART-suppressed HIV–1 infection.
