Targeted Delivery of Auristatin-Modified Toxins to Pancreatic Cancer Using Aptamers
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018 Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies. Treatment with the first-line agent, gemcitabine, is often unsuccessful because it, like other traditional chemotherapeutic agents, is non-specific, resulting in off-target effects that ...

Immunotoxins: Targeted Toxin Delivery for Cancer Therapy
Pharmaceutical Fronts, 2019 Immunotoxins are proteins that consist of a protein toxin conjugated to a specific targeting moiety. The targeting moiety is usually an antibody or ligand, such as monoclonal antibody, antibody fragment, a cytokine, or a growth factor. The toxins usually

Bacterial protein toxins and lipids: role in toxin targeting and activity [PDF]
Biology of the Cell, 2006 All bacterial toxins, which globally are hydrophilic proteins, interact first with their target cells by recognizing a surface receptor, which is either a lipid or a lipid derivative, or another compound but in a lipid environment. Intracellular active toxins follow various trafficking pathways, the sorting of which is greatly dependent on the nature ...

Mutagenic Deimmunization of Diphtheria Toxin for Use in Biologic Drug Development
Toxins, 2015 Background: Targeted toxins require multiple treatments and therefore must be deimmunized. We report a method of protein deimmunization based on the point mutation of highly hydrophilic R, K, D, E, and Q amino acids on the molecular surface of truncated ...
