The potential of carboxypeptidase G2-antibody conjugates as anti-tumour agents. I. Preparation of antihuman chorionic gonadotrophin-carboxypeptidase G2 and cytotoxicity of the conjugate against JAR choriocarcinoma cells in vitro.

Abstract:

:Carboxypeptidase G2, a zinc metalloenzyme isolated from Pseudomonas sp. strain RS-16, which catalyses the hydrolytic cleavage of reduced and non-reduced folates to pteroates and L-glutamate, has been linked to a monoclonal antibody (W14A) raised to human chorionic gonadotrophin. The coupling efficiency and retention of antibody and enzymatic activities are compared for three separate methods of preparing 1:1 conjugates. Preliminary in vitro studies on the cytotoxicity of the free enzyme and the conjugated enzyme towards JAR choriocarcinoma cells are reported. Despite the limitations of the in vitro model, it could be demonstrated that a significant proportion of 10(6) choriocarcinoma cells lost viability when exposed to either free or conjugated enzyme for 72 hours at concentrations of carboxypeptidase G2 of 1-3 units ml-1 of medium.
