A hybrid molecule including a first part, a second part and a third part connected by covalent bonds, (a) the first part including a portion of the binding domain of a cell-binding ligand, which portion is able to cause the hybrid molecule of the invention to bind to an animal cell; (b) the second part including a portion of a translocation domain of a protein, which portion is capable of translocating the third part across the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell; and (c) the third part including a chemical entity to be introduced into the cell, provided that (i) the hybrid molecule is produced by expression of a recombinant DNA molecule encoding the hybrid molecule, and (ii) the second and third parts are not segments of the same naturally-occurring polypeptide toxin; a recombinant DNA molecule encoding the hybrid molecule; and a method of producing the hybrid molecule. |
