Abstract
The present disclosure described an assay for screening monoclonal antibodies for their potential as highly cytotoxic immunotoxins. The assay involves treating cells with dilutions of the test antibody followed by a Fab fragment of a secondary antibody coupled to an A chain toxin ('indirect assay'). The cytotoxicity of the indirect assay is compared to that of the direct assay where the monoclonal antibody is coupled to an A chain toxin. Indirect and direct assays were carried out using 14 antibodies and a panel of 8 human and mouse cell types. The two assays showed virtually 100% correlation. The indirect assay, therefore, predicts the potency of a given monoclonal antibody to make an effective immunotoxin and should be useful in screening monoclonal antibodies for use as immunotoxins.
