Tumor endothelial marker 1-specific DNA vaccination targets tumor vasculature.
Tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1; also known as endosialin or CD248) is a protein found on tumor vasculature and in tumor stroma. Here, we tested whether TEM1 has potential as a therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy by immunizing immunocompetent mice with Tem1 cDNA fused to the minimal domain of the C fragment of tetanus toxoid (referred to herein as Tem1-TT vaccine). Tem1-TT vaccination ...
متن کاملTargeting tumor endothelial marker 8 in the tumor vasculature of colorectal carcinomas in mice.
Tumor endothelial marker 8 (TEM8) is a recently described protein that is preferentially expressed within tumor endothelium. We have developed a fusion protein that targets TEM8 and disrupts tumor vasculature by promoting localized thrombosis. Fusion protein specificity and function were evaluated using Western blot analysis, ELISA, and enzymatic assays. A xenograft model of colorectal carcinom...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor selectively targets boronated dendrimers to tumor vasculature.
Tumor neovasculature is a potential but, until very recently, unexplored target for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) of cancer. In the present report, we describe the construction of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-containing bioconjugate that potentially could be used to target up-regulated VEGF receptors (VEGFR), which are overexpressed on tumor neovasculature. A fifth-generat...
متن کاملThe Functionalized Human Serine Protease Granzyme B/VEGF121 Targets Tumor Vasculature and Ablates Tumor Growth
The serineprotease granzymeB (GrB) induces apoptosis throughboth caspase-dependent and -independent multiple-cascade mechanisms. VEGF121 binds to both VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-1 and VEGFR-2 receptors. We engineered a unique GrB/VEGF121 fusion protein and characterized its properties in vitro and in vivo. Endothelial and tumor cell lines showed varying levels of sensitivity to GrB/VEGF121 that corr...
