Anti-Human Endoglin (hCD105) Immunotoxin—Containing Recombinant Single Chain Ribosome-Inactivating Protein Musarmin 1

چکیده
Endoglin (CD105) is an accessory component of the TGF-β receptor complex, which is expressed in a number of tissues and over-expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor neovasculature. Targeting endoglin with immunotoxins containing type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins has proved an effective tool to reduce blood supply to B16 mice tumor xenografts. We prepared anti-endoglin immunotoxin (IT)-containing recombinant musarmin 1 (single chain ribosome-inactivating proteins) linked to the mouse anti-human CD105 44G4 mouse monoclonal antibody via N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP). The immunotoxin specifically killed L929 fibroblast mouse cells transfected with the short form of human endoglin with IC50 values in the range of 5 × 10(-10) to 10(-9) M.

Construction, expression, and characterization of BD1-G28-5 sFv, a single-chain anti-CD40 immunotoxin containing the ribosome-inactivating protein bryodin 1.
The major limitation to the use of immunotoxins in the clinic is the toxicity associated with the toxin moiety. BD1-G28-5 single-chain Fv (sFv) is a single-chain immunotoxin targeted to human CD40 and consists of bryodin 1 (BD1), a plant ribosome-inactivating protein that is 20-30-fold less toxic in animals than commonly used toxins, fused to the sFv region of the anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody ...

Immunotoxins containing recombinant human-derived single-chain fragment variable (scFv) reagents (83 and 40) against CTLA-4 (CD152) linked to saporin, a ribosome-inactivating protein, were prepared and tested on CD3/CD28-activated T lymphocytes, MLRs, CTLA-4-positive cell lines, and hemopoietic precursors. Immunotoxins induced apoptosis in activated T lymphocytes and were able to specifically i...

Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...

A plant single-chain ribosome-inactivating protein derived from the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii, termed trichosanthin (TCS), was modified with 2-iminothiolane. It was not like trichokirin, a ribosome-inactivating protein derived from the seeds of the same plant, in that TCS retained full activity when 1.5 sulfhydryl groups were introduced into each TCS molecule by 2-iminothiolane modi...
