摘要:
Disclosed is a method of inhibiting a rejection response by a primate to a transplanted organ. One exposes the primate to a mutant diphtheria toxin linked to anti-CD3 antibody so as to largely eliminate the host's peripheral blood T cell lymphocyte population. At the same time as, or after, the exposure step one administers to the primate's thymus gland donor lymphocytes. Transplantation of the organ follows. The primate is tolerized to the transplanted organ.

Provided is a method of treating an autoimmune disease in an animal comprising administering to the animal an antibody-DT mutant immunotoxin which routes by the anti-CD3 pathway, or derivatives thereof, under conditions such that the autoimmune disease is treated. In a further embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating T cell leukemias or lymphomas in an animal comprising administering to the animal an antibody-DT mutant immunotoxin which routes by the anti-CD3 pathway, or derivatives thereof, under conditions such that the T cell leukemias or lymphomas are treated.
摘要:
The rate of protein synthesis inhibition is significantly increased by adding excess ricin B chain to target cells independent of the amount of ricin A chain bound to the cell surface membrane. Ricin is a known toxin from albumin of the castor oil bean and contains an A chain and a B chain for binding to receptors. The present invention is concerned with ricin hybrids such as OX-7-ricin A chain and 19E12-F(ab) ricin A chain which were produced by conjugation of the ricin A chains with anti-Thy 1.1 monoclonal antibodies. The conjugates were utilized in pharmaceutical amounts in mice.

Also provided are immunotoxins that can be expressed in bacterial, yeast, or mammalian cells. The invention also provides means for expression of the immunotoxin fusion protein. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an immunotoxin. The invention further relates to a method of treating T cell leukemias and lymphomas, graft-versus-host diseases, and autoimmune diseases by administering an immunotoxin.
摘要:
A new reagent effective in inhibiting cholesterol synthesis 75% in human fibroblasts derived from patients suffering from the disease familial hypercholestrolemia is Man6P-low density lipoprotein and is effective in tissue culture test systems at 100 .mu.g/ml after a ten-hour exposure. The broad purpose of this invention is to modify the receptor specificity of a protein so that it will enter cells which were previously impermeable and exert new effects or reverse a pathological condition. That is, the compound of this invention is a useful reagent in the selective cytotoxic treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of expressing an immunotoxin in Pichia pastoris strain mutated to toxin resistance comprising a) growing the Pichia pastoris in a growth medium comprising an enzymatic digest of protein and yeast extract and maintaining a dissolved oxygen concentration at 40% and above; and b) performing methanol induction with a limited methanol feed of 0.5-0.75 ml/min/IO L of initial volume during induction along with a continuous infusion of yeast extract at a temperature below 17.5° C., antifoaming agent supplied up to 0.07%, agitation reduced to 400 RPM, and the induction phase extended out to 163 h.

摘要:
A tumor suppressive composition active against lymphoma consisting of an injection of hybrid protein anti Thy 1.2 monoclonal antibody-ricin and hyperosmotic lactose. The inoculation i.v. of murine tissues in vivo by lymphoma is made at -20 to -25 days and the tumor suppressant composition is used i.v. at Day 1 in an amount of 1-3 .mu.g of anti Thy monoclonal antibody-ricin together with sufficient hyperosmotic lactose to raise the lactose level to 20-30 mM. The broad purpose of this invention is to modify the receptor specificity of a potent toxin such as ricin by coupling it with a monoclonal antibody directed at a specific tumor or differentiation antigen. The object here is to use the reagent to selectively kill tumor cells without affecting normal cells.
摘要:
A new reagent effective in inhibiting cholesterol synthesis 75% in human fibroblasts derived from patients suffering from the disease familial hypercholestrolemia is mannose-6-phosphate-low density lipoprotein and is effective in tissue culture test systems at 100 .mu.g/ml after a ten-hour exposure. The broad purpose of this invention is to modify the receptor specificity of a protein so that it will enter cells which were previously impermeable and exert new effects or reverse a pathological condition. Toxins may also be modified in this manner producing cell type specific and tumor suppressive reagents which are effective in a dose range of 0.3-3 .mu.g. The object here is to use the reagent to selectively kill one cell type which is exerting a pathological effect without affecting normal cells. Among others to which this invention is applicable are Man6P-low density lipoprotein, Man6P-ricin, Man6P-Modeccin, anti Thy 1.2 monoclonal antibody-ricin and anti Thy 1.1 monoclonal antibody-ricin.
