title: Chemotherapy-increased antineoplastic effects of antibody-toxin conjugates.
abstract: A model, employing murine L1210 leukemia to which the artificial determinant TNP was bound in vitro and an anti-DNP antibody-ricin A-chain conjugate, was used to explore the in vivo therapeutic potential of combined immunotoxin-chemotherapy treatment. Under conditions in which immunotoxin and chemotherapy as single therapies had only marginal therapeutic activity, their combined use was markedly effective.
