An immunotoxin was constructed with an activity that discriminated between 2 T cell lines based on the expression of the T cell growth factor (TCGF) receptor on their cell surface. A toxic protein conjugate, designated PE-anti-TAC, was made by chemically coupling pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) to a monoclonal antibody (anti-TAC) that recognizes the human TCGF receptor. This conjugate was toxic to HUT-102 cells, a cell line that expresses the TCGF receptor, but was nontoxic for MOLT-4 cells, a receptor-negative line. The toxicity of PE-anti-TAC was enhanced 50-fold in the presence of human adenovirus type II and was reduced to control levels by adding excess anti-TAC antibody. The toxicity of PE-anti-TAC for HUT-102 cells was compared with PE-anti-transferrin receptor. To compare the route of entry for both anti-TAC and anti-TFR using EM, protein conjugates were made by coupling horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to each antibody. Anti-TFR-HRP entered HUT-102 cells by concentrative adsorptive endocytosis via coated pits and the majority of the antibodies bound to the cell surface at 4.degree. C were seen in receptosomes by 10 min after warming to 37.degree. C. Anti-TAC-HRP was also found to enter HUT-102 cells via coated pits and receptosomes; but, in contrast to anti-TFR, anti-TAC did not selectively concentrate in coated pits and therefore the majority of this surface-bound antibody were not internalized in HUT-102 cells by 10 min at 37.degree.
