RECOMBINANT IMMUNOTOXIN AIMED AT MESOTHELIN

摘要

FIELD: biochemistry.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biochemistry, particularly to an improved recombinant immunotoxin for the cells expressing mesothelin. Disclosed immunotoxin is a fused protein containing the antibody to mesothelin and Pseudomonas exotoxin fragment which is modified to reduce its immunogenicity and sensitivity to proteases. Immunotoxin can be used in the method for treatment of cancer overexpressing mesothelin.EFFECT: invention provides high cytotoxicity of immunotoxin in relation to the cells expressing mesothelin.21 cl, 9 dwg, 4 tbl, 2 ex
