Immunotoxins are hybrid molecules composed of a monoclonal antibody chemically linked to a biologic toxin. The antibody portion of the molecule directs it to a specific antigenic determinant on a target cell; the molecule is then internalized, and a ...

Antiviral Activity of Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosylases from plants (EC 3.2.2.22) that inactivate ribosomes thus inhibiting protein synthesis. The antiviral properties of RIPs have been investigated for more than four decades.

Response of refractory Hodgkin's disease to monoclonal anti-CD30 immunotoxin
In Hodgkin's disease, Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells consistently express the antigen CD30. We investigated the possible therapeutic role of an immunotoxin prepared by covalent linking of an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody (Ber-H2) to saporin (SO6), a ...

AbstractUnconjugated monoclonal antibodies that target hematopoietic differentiation antigens have been developed to treat hematologic malignancies. Although some of these have activity against chronic lymphocytic leukemia and hairy cell leukemia, in general, monoclonal antibodies have limited efficacy as single agents in the treatment of leukemia.

Introduction: Overexpression of the EGFR is associated with carcinogenesis, and it is observed in more than 70% of head and neck cancers. The expression of an immunotoxin against EGFR designed as an alternative to full antibody led to the production of ...

Depletion of Alloreactive T-Cells by Anti-CD137-Saporin Immunotoxin
Depletion of alloreactive T-lymphocytes from allogeneic bone marrow tansplants may prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) without impairing donor cell engraftment, immunity, and the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect.

Treatment with immunotoxin [PDF]
T–cell depletion prior to or beginning at the time of transplantation has been shown to be a valuable adjunct to the induction of immunological unresponsiveness. Both total lymphoid irradiation and anti–lymphocyte globulin have been used for this purpose in experimental models of transplantation as well as in human organ transplant
