Abstract: | Summary
Pseudomonas exotoxin has been genetically modified so that it targets cancer cells. This was accomplished by deleting its cell binding domain and replacing it with Fv fragments of antibodies that react with breast, colon, and other cancers. Several recombinant immunotoxins are now in clinical trials.Presented at the symposium "New Approaches in the Therapy of Breast Cancer", Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC, October 1994, generously supported by an education grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb. |
