Recombinant immunotoxin for cancer treatment with low immunogenicity by identification and silencing of human T-cell epitopes
5 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Nonhuman proteins have valuable therapeutic properties, but their efficacy is limited by neutralizing antibodies. Recombinant immunotoxins (RITs) are potent anticancer agents that have produced many complete remissions in leukemia, but immunogenicity limits the number of doses that can be given to patients with normal immune systems. Using human cells, we identified eight helper T-cell epitopes in PE38, a portion...
