Targeting of Drugs to Cell Surface Receptors
1997
Říhová, Blanks
The new approach to the treatment of cancer or to immunomodulation is drug targeting. The effort to achieve either an absolute or a relative amplification of the tumoricidal effect of anticancer drugs through increased generation or acquisition of reactive molecules at the tumor site or a reduction of the toxic molecules available to the periphery has led to a number of strategies. Among them are (1) targeting using antibodies to their fragments, hormones, carbohydrates, and growth factors; (2) retargeting using bispecific antibodies; (3) construction of chimeric genes; (4) streptavidin-biotin based immunotherapy; (5) prodrug activation strategies (ADEPT); (6) antibody-targeted superantigens; and (7) gene delivery for the purpose of gene therapy.
