Antibody targeted therapeutics for lymphoma: new focus on the CD22 antigen and RNA

D L Newton et al. Expert Opin Biol Ther. 2001 Nov.

Abstract

The approval of antibodies for cancer treatment has provoked increased interest in the development of new and improved antibody-mediated therapies. This emerging approach centres on targeting CD22 on human B-cells with a monoclonal antibody (mAb). Anti-CD22 antibodies conjugated to a cytotoxic RNAse elicits potent and specific killing of the lymphoma cells in vitro and in human lymphoma models in severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) mice. RNA damage caused by RNAses could be an important alternative to standard DNA damaging chemotherapeutics. Moreover, targeted RNAses may overcome problems of toxicity and immunogenicity associated with plant- or bacterial toxin-containing immunotoxins.
