Glycosylation of glycolipids in cancer: basis for development of novel therapeutic approaches [PDF]
Altered networks of gene regulation underlie many pathologies, including cancer. There are several proteins in cancer cells that are turned either on or off, which dramatically alters the metabolism and the overall activity of the cell, with the complex ...

Design and evaluation of a peptide‐based immunotoxin for breast cancer therapeutics
Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins comprising a specific cellular targeting domain linked to a cytotoxic factor. Here we describe the design and use of a novel, peptide‐based immunotoxin that can initiate selective cytotoxicity on ErbB2‐positive cells ...

Evaluation of cholinergic markers in Alzheimer's disease and in a model of cholinergic deficit [PDF]
Cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), have been closely related to cholinergic deficits. We have compared different markers of cholinergic function to assess the best biomarker of cognitive deficits ...

In Vitro Evaluation of Vegf-Pseudomonas Exotoxin: A Conjugated on Tumor Cells
Background: Angiogenesis which occurs mandatory in solid tumors, is a critical step in malignancy progression. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is mainly responsible for angiogenesis process and facilitates the formation of new vessels ...

Engineering of Ribosome-inactivating Proteins for Improving Pharmacological Properties
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are N-glycosidases, which depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved α-sarcin/ricin loop (α-SRL) of rRNA.

Systemic effects of tissue plasminogen activator-associated fibrinolysis and its relation to thrombin generation in orthotopic liver transplantation [PDF]
Orthotopic liver transplantation is frequently associated with hyperfibrinolysis, the origin and clinical relevance of which is largely unknown. In 20 orthotopic liver transplantations, we studied the occurrence and systemic effects of hyperfibrinolysis.

Immunotoxins (ITs) are chimeric molecules constructed by covalently conjugating monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to plant or bacterial toxins (e.g. ricin or pseudomonas exotoxin). The antibody moiety allows specific targeting of ITs to tumor-associated antigens, while the toxin moiety is responsible for cell killing by irreversible inactivation of protein

Dosing optimization of CCR4 immunotoxin for improved depletion of CCR4+ Treg in nonhuman primates
Recently, we have developed a diphtheria toxin‐based recombinant anti‐human CCR4 immunotoxin for targeting CCR4+ tumors and Tregs. In this study, we further optimized the dosing schedule for improved CCR4+ Treg depletion.
