Abstract

Immunotoxins have the potential to be developed into anti-tumor drugs due to their targeting and strong tumor-killing activity. However, at present, issues such as dose limitations due to off-target toxicity and immunogenicity hinder the clinical use of immunotoxins. A novel HER2-targeted immunotoxin F02 was devised in this study. F02 links an anti-HER2 single-domain camelid antibody to a domain III mutant of PE toxin via a cleavable linker. The PE domain III mutant has seven point-mutations, which potentially remove B-cell and T-cell binding epitopes, thus reducing immunogenicity risks. F02 maintains anti-tumor activity in vivo and in vitro. In animals, F02 effectively inhibited the growth of NCI-N87 tumors at 1.0 mg/kg, and showed a dose-effect relationship, as the effect of completely removing tumors could be achieved at doses above 2.5 mg/kg. F02 also has low toxicity. In cynomolgus monkey models, good tolerability was observed even at 5 mg/kg, a much higher dose than the effective dose. In addition, the molecule has good druggability and can achieve soluble expression in E. coli with a high expression level. Thus, this new molecule has the potential to become a new option for treatment of HER2-positive tumors.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
