FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics. n SUBSTANCE: presented invention refers to immunology. There are disclosed versions of a dimer compound for forming a multimer capable to reproduce the effector function of aggregated IgG with identical monomers. Each monomer of the dimer comprises: a monomer of IgG2 link region or a monomer of isoleucine zipper, dimerising each of which forms a multimerising region, and at least Fc-domain monomer containing a link region, CH2 domain and CH3 domain of IgG1. What is described is a multimer compound capable to reproduce the effector function of aggregated IgG and containing two or more dimers. There are disclosed a method for changing the immune response using the dimer or multimer, as well as a multimer-based method of treating an inflammatory disease. n EFFECT: using the invention provides the new compounds capable to bind at least one FcR specified in a group consisting of: FcγRI, FcγRII, FcγRIII, FcγRIV, or their non-human version that can find application in medicine for IVIG substitution for treating a wide range of diseases, including the inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. n 7 cl, 25 dwg, 5 tbl, 25 ex |
