FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: innovation deals with multi-specific compounds containing, at least, one binding determinant which binds Fc-alpha-receptors at effector cell. Another binding determinant binds one or more antigens at target cell, for example Neu/Her-2 protooncogene product or receptor of epidermal growth factor at cancer cells, or Candida antigens at infected cells. Examples are bispecific and trispecific antibodies. It is suggested both therapeutic and prophylactic application of mentioned compounds. The method enables to achieve multiple specificity in treating cancer and pathogenic infections. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 19 cl, 28 dwg
