Molecular studies of Pseudomonas exotoxin A gene.
A 2.7-kilobase DNA fragment carrying the entire exotoxin A (ETA) structural gene was divided into three nonoverlapping probes. Two probes covering the ETA structural gene were used in colony hybridization experiments to determine whether sequences homologous to the ETA gene could be detected in genera other than Pseudomonas or in Pseudomonas species other than Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The majori...
متن کاملCD4-Pseudomonas Exotoxin Conjugates Delay
The CD4 molecule is a high affinity receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein (gpl60 or gpl20). This glycoprotein is expressed on the surface membrane of cells infected with HIV. It has, therefore, been suggested that a soluble form ofCD4 might be used as a targeting agent to deliver toxins selectively to cells infected with HIV. We demonstrate that CD4-Pseudomon...
متن کاملActivity of immunotoxins constructed with modified Pseudomonas exotoxin A lacking the cell recognition domain.
Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) contains three domains whose functions are cell recognition, membrane translocation, and ADP ribosylation of elongation factor 2. PE40 is a form of PE which is missing the cell recognition domain. To study the properties of PE40, it was expressed in Escherichia coli using a vector which contains a T7 phage promoter, an OmpA signal sequence, and that portion of the PE g...
متن کاملProtein Kinase Inhibitor H89 Enhances the Activity of Pseudomonas Exotoxin A-Based Immunotoxins.
HA22 (Moxetumomab pasudotox) is a recombinant immunotoxin (RIT), composed of an anti-CD22 Fv fused to a truncated portion of Pseudomonas exotoxin A. HA22 is in clinical trials to treat patients with hairy cell leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). LMB-11 is an improved variant of HA22 with reduced immunogenicity, has a longer half-life in the blood and high activity in vitro and in a...
متن کاملA nontoxic Pseudomonas exotoxin A induces active immunity and passive protective antibody against Pseudomonas exotoxin A intoxication.
Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is one of the most potent cytotoxic agents produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, we examined the possibility of using PE with a deletion of 38 carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues, designated PE(Delta576-613), for active immunization against PE-mediated disease. We first examined the toxic effects of PE and PE(Delta576-613) on 5- and 9-week-old ICR mice...
