Research abstract

FOLLOWING ON SUCCESS IN A MURINE MODEL SYSTEM, A HUMAN IGE-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTOXIN WILL BE SYNTHESIZED AND EVALUATED FOR EFFICACY AGAINST AN IGE-SECRETING HUMAN MYELOMA CELL LINE. MONOCLONAL ANTIHUMAN IGE ANTIBODY WILL BE COVALENTLY ATTACHED TO A VARIETY OF CYTOTOXINS TO PRODUCE A HUMAN IGE-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTOXIN. THIS REAGENT WILL BE TESTED FOR SPECIFIC CYTOTOXICITY AGAINST THE HUMAN IGE MYELOMA LINE IN VITRO. THE IN VITRO-SELECTED IMMUNOTOXIN FORMULATION WILL BE EVALUATED IN VIVO BY ESTABLISHING THE MYELOMA LINE IN NU/NU MICE AND ATTEMPTING TO MODULATE HUMAN SERUM IGE LEVELS BY PARENTERAL ADMINISTRATION OF IMMUNOTOXIN. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO PROVIDE IMPROVED ALLERGY THERAPY VIA IGE-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTOXINS.
