A Modified Form of Diphthamide Causes Immunotoxin Resistance in a Lymphoma Cell Line with a Deletion of the WDR85 Gene
14 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
HA22 is a recombinant immunotoxin that kills CD22-expressing cells by ADP-ribosylating and inactivating elongation factor-2 (EF2). HA22 is composed of an Fv that binds to CD22 fused to a portion of Pseudomonas exotoxin A. HA22 is very active in drug-resistant hairy cell leukemia but is less active in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To understand why some patients do not respond to HA22, we isolated an...
