Immunotoxins: status and prospects.
Immunotoxins, which are conjugates of cell-binding antibodies and toxins, show considerable promise in the treatment of certain cancers. Genetic engineering is increasingly being used to refine and modify these conjugates, and it is now possible to design, express and purify completely recombinant therapeutic molecules.
