Immunotoxins: the power and the glory
Immunology Today, 1992Immunotoxins are hybrid proteins in which the potent cytocidal action of a toxin is harnessed for the selective destruction of target cells by attachment to a specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) or growth factor. This brief article describes the latest advances in the molecular and cellular biology, pharmacology and clinical evaluation of immunotoxins ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering of immunotoxins
1988Genetic engineering offers many advantages for the 1) production of immunotoxins (ITs) and 2) design of more effective reagents. In Chapter 9, J.R. Murphy discusses the use of genetic engineering to link genes together resulting in chimeric proteins. This review covers the first applications of genetic engineering technology to improve ITs by studying ...

Immunotoxins in cancer therapy
Current Opinion in Immunology, 1999Immunotoxins are composed of a protein toxin connected to a binding ligand such as an antibody or growth factor. These molecules bind to surface antigens (which internalize) and kill cells by catalytic inhibition of protein synthesis within the cell cytosol.

Bulletin du cancer, 1983
Immunotoxins are conjugates between antibodies especially directed against cancer cells and a subunit of a powerful toxin. We used the A-chain of ricin. These conjugates are specifically cytotoxic when used at very low concentrations in vitro and can destroy more than 99.99% of clonogenic cells.
