Bispecific Molecules and Related Compositions and Methods

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure include bispecific molecules. The bispecific molecules comprise a cell-targeting moiety and a glycan-binding moiety. According to some embodiments, the cell-targeting moiety is a cancer cell-targeting moiety or an immune cell-targeting moiety. In certain embodiments, the glycan-binding moiety comprises the sialoglycan-binding domain of a lectin, non-limiting examples of which are sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs). The bispecific molecules may take a variety of forms including heterodimeric molecules, fusion proteins, conjugates, and the like. Compositions, kits and methods of using the bifunctional molecules, e.g., for therapeutic purposes, are also provided.
