title: The performance of e23(Fv)PEs, recombinant toxins targeting the erbB-2 protein.
abstract: The overexpression of the erbB-2 (HER-2, neu) gene has attracted significant interest as a molecular target for the rational design of cancer therapies. This review examines the design and preclinical testing phase for one such experimental therapy, recombinant toxins targeted to the erbB-2 protein, termed e23(Fv)PEs.
