Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that high-affinity receptors for interleukin-13 (IL-13Ralpha2) are overexpressed on a variety of solid cancer cells, diseased fibroblasts, and other cells, and a chimeric fusion protein composed of human IL-13 and mutated Pseudomonas exotoxin (IL-13-PE38) is highly and specifically cytotoxic to these cells in vitro and in vivo. To improve the specificity for the target, we isolated...
