DNA-dependent targeting of cell nuclei by a lupus autoantibody
9 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
A nuclear-penetrating lupus anti-DNA autoantibody, 3E10, has been found to inhibit DNA repair and selectively kill certain cancer cells that are highly vulnerable to DNA damage. In addition, a 3E10 single chain variable fragment (scFv) has been developed for use as a delivery vehicle to carry therapeutic cargo proteins into cell nuclei. A greater understanding of the mechanism by which 3E10 penetrates cell nuclei...
