Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is a protein composed of 613 amino acids arranged into three major, and one minor, domains. Immunotoxins (ITs) containing PE38, a mutant form of PE which lacks the cell binding domain (Ia, amino acids 1-252) and 16 amino acids from domain Ib (amino acids 365-380), are extremely potent cytotoxic agents which can cause a complete regression of various human carcinomas grown in nude mice....
