A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884744B2) discloses a method for suppressing an inflammatory response in a subject by administering a compound comprising specific polypeptides. The compound includes a first polypeptide with a light chain variable domain of a first immunoglobulin (VL1) specific for a target protein, and a second polypeptide with a light chain variable domain of a second immunoglobulin (VL2) specific for a different target protein. The method involves the association of VL1 and VH1 to form a binding site for the first target protein, and VL2 and VH2 to form a binding site for the second target protein. The compound's structure and amino acid sequences are detailed, with variations in the sequences of the polypeptides provided for different combinations of target proteins.

Furthermore, the patent claims cover additional aspects of the method, such as the inclusion of linkers between the polypeptides, specific amino acid sequences for the linkers, and the association of heavy chain constant regions and light chain constant regions to form a tetravalent molecule. The method aims to address inflammatory conditions and autoimmune conditions in subjects, including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. The patent provides a detailed framework for the administration of the compound to effectively suppress inflammatory responses in subjects in need of such treatment, offering a novel approach to managing these conditions based on the specific interactions of the polypeptides with target proteins.
