Anti-EpCAM Immunocytokine, scFv-CH1 (HD70)-GM-CSF: scFv-Cκ (HD70)-IL2 (ACFP-SH194)
This antibody-cytokine fusion protein was achieved by conjugating/fusing the Anti-EpCAM scFv-CH1; scFv-Cκ to IL2 and GM-CSF. It was expressed in CHO and purified with affinity chromatography. The Immunocytokines retains the ability to bind the EpCAM as well as the biological activity of IL2 and GM-CSF. The bi-antibody-cytokine fusion protein exhibited the ability to bind the targeted antigen and retained the biological activity of murine IL2 and GM-CSF to induce CTLL-2 and FDC-P1 cell proliferation respectively. DCH induced human PBMC and T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity of Kato III cells (from a human gastric carcinoma that over-express the EpCAM antigen). This Immunocytokines was designed for treating EpCAM over-expressing cancers.

- Cytokines 1 Description
- Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system. It is a protein that regulates the activities of white blood cells (leukocytes, often lymphocytes) that are responsible for immunity. IL-2 is part of the body's natural response to microbial infection, and in discriminating between foreign ("non-self") and "self". IL-2 mediates its effects by binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes.

- Cytokines 2 Description
- Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), also known as colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), is a monomeric glycoprotein secreted by macrophages, T cells, mast cells, NK cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts that functions as a cytokine. The pharmaceutical analogs of naturally occurring GM-CSF are called sargramostim and molgramostim.
