Abstract excerpt
Recombinant immunotoxin HA22, composed of an anti- CD22 Fv fragment fused to PE38, a truncated portion of Pseudomonas Exotoxin A (PE), has been developed for targeted treatment of various B-cell malignancies. As a foreign, internalized macromolecule, PE38 often induces lysosomal degradation and neutralizing antibodies to limit the efficacy of treating B-cell malignancies. The region of PE38 containing lysosomal...
