Here we have designed a novel class of engineered antibody-based reagents ('Seldegs') that induce the selective degradation of antigen-specific antibodies.

Seldegs have considerable potential in multiple areas, including the treatment of antibody-mediated autoimmunity and diagnostic imaging. ...[more]
