Engineered receptors for human cytomegalovirus and uses thereof

  • Erik Procko (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

Modified platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) polypeptides are described. The modified polypeptides include at least one amino acid substitution that allows the polypeptide to retain the capacity to bind a cytomegalovirus (CMV) trimer comprised of glycoprotein H (gH), gL and gO, but leads to reduced binding to one or more platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) ligands. Use of the modified PDGFRα polypeptides for inhibiting CMV replication and/or spread, or treating a CMV infection, is also described.
