Mutations in Subunit Interface and B-cell Epitopes Improve Antileukemic Activities of Escherichia coli Asparaginase-II
3 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
L-Asparaginase-II from Escherichia coli (EcA) is a central component in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the therapeutic efficacy of EcA is limited due to immunogenicity and a short half-life in the patient. Here, we performed rational mutagenesis to obtain EcA variants with a potential to improve ALL treatment. Several variants, especially W66Y and Y176F, killed the ALL cells more...
