Immunotoxin Treatment of Cancer* [PDF]
Annual Review of Medicine, 2007 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.

Immunotoxins and nanobody-based immunotoxins: review and update
Journal of Drug Targeting, 2021Immunotoxins (ITs) are protein-based drugs that compose of targeting and cytotoxic moieties. After binding the IT to the specific cell-surface antigen, the IT internalises into the target cell and kills it. Targeting and cytotoxic moieties usually include monoclonal antibodies and protein toxins with bacterial or plant origin, respectively.

Annual Review of Immunology, 1996
The use of immunotoxins (ITs) in the therapy of cancer, graft-vs-host disease (GvHD), autoimmune diseases, and AIDS has been ongoing for the past two decades. ITs contain a targeting moiety for delivery and a toxic moiety for cytotoxicity. Theoretically, one molecule of a toxin, routed to the appropriate cellular compartment, will be lethal to a cell ...

Leukemia Research, 2005
Immunotoxins composed of cell-selective ligands covalently linked to peptide toxins have been developed for the treatment of chemotherapy relapsed or refractory malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A number of CLL immunotoxins have been clinically tested including T101-ricin A, H65-ricin A, DAB(486)IL2, DAB(389)IL2, RFB4 (dsFv ...

Molecular and chemical neuropathology, 1994
Immunotoxins are being tested for the therapy of systemic cancer and brain tumors. Neurotoxicity has been dose limiting for several of these antibody conjugates given systemically. We review the animal and clinical data related to the neurotoxicity of immunotoxins in attempt to understand the molecular basis for the unexpected neural involvement and to

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1996
Pseudomonas exotoxin has been genetically modified so that it targets cancer cells. This was accomplished by deleting its cell binding domain and replacing it with Fv fragments of antibodies that react with breast, colon, and other cancers. Several recombinant immunotoxins are now in clinical trials.

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2000
Immunotoxins are molecules which contain a protein toxin connected to a targeting antibody. The goal of therapy is for the molecule to bind selectively to cancer cells, or to cells mediating autoimmune disease, internalise and then for the toxin to kill the cell.

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Immunotoxins are extremely potent agents that recognize specific antigens located on metastatic tumor cells and cause cytotoxicity after cell entry by inhibiting protein synthesis. These agents have considerable in vitro efficacy against numerous metastatic tumor cell lines.

Immunotoxins and Recombinant Immunotoxins in Cancer Therapy
2006Targeted cancer therapy in general and immunotherapy in particular, combines rational drug design with the progress in understanding cancer biology. This approach takes advantage of our recent knowledge of the mechanisms by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells, thus, using the special properties of cancer cells to device novel ...

Abstract Immunotoxins (ITs) are cell type-specific cytotoxic agents consisting of an antibody linked to a protein toxin. The antibody component is responsible for directing the toxin selectively to the target cell and the toxin component is responsible for killing the cell (for reviews on ITs see refs 1—5).
