Abstract excerpt
A major obstacle in the successful delivery of antibody-based therapeutics to tumor cells is the heterogeneity of target antigen expression. We reported previously that retinoic acid (RA) is a potent and selective inducer of the cell-surface antigen CD38 in myeloid leukemia cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the RA-induced CD38 antigen could be a target for an anti-CD38-based immunotoxin to...
