Abstract excerpt
Modification of a mutant diphtheria toxin, possessing reduced binding capacity, with TNP groups resulted in an Ag-toxin conjugate capable of eliminating TNP-specific B cells. Previous experimental approaches to the elimination of Ag-specific B cells have involved the conjugation of Ag to holoricin molecules or ricin A chain. Holoricin conjugates possess efficacy, but display high nonspecific toxicity. A chain...
