Comparison of two immunotoxins against DLL3 receptor; as an inhibitor for small cell lung cancer [PDF]
Despite the efforts of researchers to develop new treatments for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), achieving effective treatment has not yet happened. Targeted therapy utilizing delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3), which is highly expressed in SCLC patients, holds ...

Integrated bioprocessing and genetic strategies to enhance soluble expression of anti-HER2 immunotoxin in E. Coli [PDF]
Immunotoxins are widely applied for cancer therapy. However, bacterial expression of immunotoxins usually leads to the formation of insoluble and non-functional recombinant proteins. This study was aimed to improve soluble expression of a novel anti-HER2

Immunotoxin Treatment of Cancer* [PDF]
Immunotoxins are proteins used to treat cancer that are composed of an antibody fragment linked to a toxin. The immunotoxin binds to a surface antigen on a cancer cell, enters the cell by endocytosis, and kills it. The most potent immunotoxins are made from bacterial and plant toxins.

CD30 as a Target Molecule in the Diagnosis and Therapy of Lymphomas. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐receptor superfamily 8 receptor CD30 molecule is expressed in all tumor cells of Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma but is only weakly expressed in a small subset of large lymphoid cells in normal peripheral lymphoid tissues.

Immunotoxins: The Role of the Toxin [PDF]
Immunotoxins are antibody-toxin bifunctional molecules that rely on intracellular toxin action to kill target cells. Target specificity is determined via the binding attributes of the chosen antibody. Mostly, but not exclusively, immunotoxins are purpose-

Production and Verification of Anti-Tumor Activity of Monoclonal Anti-EGFR-Recombinant PE38 Immunotoxin in A431 Tumor Cells [PDF]
Background: Tumor growth and progression depend largely on the activity of cell membrane receptors like epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This receptor plays a significant role in the growth and survival of many solid tumors.

In vivo solid tumor targeting with recombinant VEGF-diphtheria immunotoxin [PDF]
Objective(s): A variety of signaling molecules have been identified that play a role in angiogenesis, of prime importance, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its resceptor (VEGFR), which is highly expressed in most human solid tumors ...
