title: [Selective cytotoxic effect of an immunotoxin on human erythroid tumor cells].
abstract: The possibility of efficient directed elimination of human erythroblastoid cells by the conjugate of IgM-monoclonal antibody HAE9 directed against the erythroblast antigen and the A-chain of a plant toxin ricin has been demonstrated. The conjugate contained 2 molecules of A-chain per one antibody molecule. The efficiencies of the cytotoxic effect of native ricin and the conjugate were compared according to the number of binding sites on the surface of K562 cells as well as to the internalization rate of these molecules. As was shown, that the number of binding sites for the antibody approaches 2.7.10(4) molecules/cell, K a being equal to 1.7.10(8) M-1 while for ricin these indices constitute 2.4.10(5) and 4.6.10(8) M-1. Almost 100% of antibodies and 36% of ricin are internalized within 10 min at 37 degrees C. At a concentration 10(-11) of native ricin and 10(-10) of immunotoxin the 50% inhibition of growth of K562 cells carrying the erythroblast antigen on their surface is observed.
