INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Evaluate the potential use of PSA-targeted therapy for the treatment of LUTS 2ry to BPH, through assessment of the safety and tolerability of PRX302, a proaerolysin toxin genetically modified ...

Anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx), secreted by Bacillus anthracis, consists of protective antigen (PrAg) and lethal factor (LF). Following binding to its ubiquitously expressed cell surface receptors tumor endothelium marker 8 ...

In this study, we assess arginine auxotrophy in ovarian cancer cells and attempt to target them using arginine deprivation induced by a pegylated recombinant human Arginase I cobalt [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]. Ovarian cancer ...

DT388GMCSF, a fusion toxin composed of the NH2-terminal region of diphtheria toxin (DT) fused to human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) has shown efficacy in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. ...

In this study, we attempt to target Arginine auxotrophy in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells using a pegylated recombinant human Arginase I cobalt [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]. We tested and characterized the activity of HuArgI ...

In this study, we attempt to target both the urokinase plasminogen activator and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary AML blasts using PrAgU2/LF, a urokinase-activated ...

Fusion toxins consist of bacterial or plant toxins fused to tumor-specific ligands that target them specifically to tumor cells. These toxins are activated by ubiquitously expressed furin-proteases and, though highly potent ...

Novel agents to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are needed with increased efficacy and specificity. We have synthesized a dual-specificity fusion toxin DTU2GMCSF composed of the catalytic and translocation domains of ...
