Mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) were injected with 1 x 10(7) MOLT-3 human T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells to provide a model for the evaluation of anti-CD7-pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) immunotoxin directed against the human CD7 antigen. Of control SCID mice
The results described here provided an example of a human IgM monoclonal antibody against a tumor-associated glycolipid and of the unusual properties of its corresponding immunotoxin (IT). The monoclonal antibody referred to as 38-13 has been previously described and reacted with the
The investigational biotherapeutic agent, B43(anti-CD19)-pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) immunotoxin, has shown substantial anti-leukemic activity in SCID mouse models of human B-lineage leukemia and lymphoma. In this report, we describe the results of a comprehensive preclinical toxicity study
We describe a standardized method for the preparation and purification of a potent immunotoxin against B-lineage leukemia/lymphoma cells, constructed with the ribosome inhibitory single chain plant toxin pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) and a murine IgG1 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for the
The anti-CD30 immunotoxin (IT) Ber-H2/saporin is effective in patients with refractory Hodgkin's disease. However, responses are short and partial, one of the main reasons being the inability to repeat IT doses because of formation of human antibodies against the murine antibody and/or the toxin. To
The proliferation and in vitro cytolytic activity of interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated and anti-CD3 + IL-2-stimulated marrow mononuclear cells (MMC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were studied. Samples from 8 normal donors, 15 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 7
Three ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) similar to those already known (Stirpe et al. (1992) Bio/Technology 10, 405-412) were purified from the seeds of Phytolacca dioica. These proteins, called Phytolacca dioica RIPs (PD-S1, PD-S2 and PD-S3 RIPs), are glycoproteins, with M(r) approx. 30,000,
An immunotoxin was synthesized with pokeweed antiviral protein and an IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed against human B and pre-B cells. The B43 murine monoclonal antibody does not react with normal human bone marrow precursor cells. The immunotoxin bound to all Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines that
Autologous bone marrow transplantation may contribute to the treatment of several types of lymphoreticular malignancies. Recent studies have suggested that a combination of chemoseparation and immunoseparation may be more effective than either modality alone in eliminating malignant cells from human
