  • 摘要:The genes encoding the heavy- and light-chain Fv regions of the monoclonal murine antibody B3, which recognizes a carbohydrate antigen on the surface of many human carcinomas, were cloned by PCR techniques and used to generate single-chain immunotoxins containing Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE). The light and heavy chains were connected by a flexible linker to form a single-chain antigen-binding protein, B3(Fv), which was in turn fused to truncated forms of PE lacking the cell-binding domain. The single-chain Fv and two different B3(Fv) immunotoxins, B3(Fv)-PE40 and B3(Fv)-PE38KDEL, were expressed in Escherichia coli and the single-chain immunotoxins were purified to near homogeneity. Both recombinant immunotoxins were shown to be cytotoxic specifically to carcinoma cell lines that express the B3 antigen on their surface; B3(Fv)-PE38KDEL was significantly more active. Furthermore, intravenous administration of B3(Fv)-PE38KDEL caused complete regression of human epidermoid carcinomas growing subcutaneously in immunodeficient mice.
