The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising ApoE-derived peptide dimers. In particular, the ApoE peptide dimers of the invention comprise at least two ApoE mimetic domains and can comprise one or more protein transduction domains. Methods of treating various conditions, such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases, by administering the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are also disclosed.

The present invention provides new compositions and methods for preventing and treating pathogen infection. In particular, the present invention provides compounds having an anchoring domain that anchors the compound to the surface of a target cell, and a therapeutic domain that can act extracellularly to prevent infection of a target cell by a pathogen, such as a virus. The present invention also comprises therapeutic compositions having sialidase activity, including protein-based compounds having sialidase catalytic domains. Compounds of the invention can be used for treating or preventing pathogen infection, and for treating and reducing allergic and inflammatory responses. The invention also provides compositions and methods for enhancing transduction of target cells by recombinant viruses. Such compositions and methods can be used in gene therapy.
