説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title><jats:p>Recombinant immunotoxins have produced complete remissions in leukemia patients where many doses can be given but are less active in patients with solid tumors because their immune system makes antidrug antibodies, which inactivate the immunotoxin. To suppress the immune response, we have identified and largely silenced the T-cell epitopes responsible for the immune response. A redesigned immunotoxin with T-cell epitope mutations is highly cytotoxic to cell lines and to cells isolated from cancer patients and produces complete remissions in mice with human cancer xenografts. The approach described can be applied to deimmunize other therapeutically useful foreign proteins.</jats:p>
