Abstract

The large scale preparation of two second generation immunotoxins containing murine monoclonal antibodies and deglycosylated ricin A chain is described. The procedure for the preparation of immunotoxins consists of the derivatization of antibody with SMPT and reduction of dgA with DTT followed by their reaction to establish a hindered interchain disulfide bond. The purification of the immunotoxin includes affinity chromatography on Blue-Sepharose to remove the free antibody and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200HR to remove any high molecular weight material and free dgA. The two immunotoxins were prepared by GLP procedures and tested for yield, composition, purity, sterility and biological activity.
