Abstract

Our objective was to evaluate the toxicity of the anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody HuM195 modified with peptides (CGYGPKKKRKVGG) harboring the nuclear localizing sequence (NLS; underlined) of simian virus 40 large T antigen and labeled with (111)In against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. HuM195 was derivatized with sulfosuccinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC) to introduce maleimide groups for reaction with NLS-peptides and then conjugated with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid for labeling with (111)In. The immunoreactivity of NLS-HuM195 was evaluated by its ability to displace the binding of (111)In-HuM195 to HL-60 leukemia cells. Nuclear localization was measured in HL-60 cells by subcellular fractionation. The antiproliferative effects of (111)In-NLS-HuM195 and (111)In-HuM195 on HL-60, U937, or K562 cells with high, intermediate, or minimal CD33 expression, respectively, were studied. The survival of HL-60 cells or patient AML specimens treated with (111)In-NLS-HuM195 or (111)In-HuM195 was studied. Normal tissue toxicity was evaluated in BALB/c mice injected intravenously with of 3.7 MBq (22 microg) of (111)In-NLS-HuM195 or (111)In-HuM195. NLS-HuM195 exhibited relatively preserved CD33 bin...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
