ANTIBODIES and growth factors have been chemically coupled to different toxins to produce cytotoxic molecules that selectively kill cells bearing appropriate antigens or receptors1,2. Antibody-toxin conjugates (immunotoxins) produced using conventional chemical coupling techniques have several undesirable characteristics. The smallest binding unit of an antibody is an Fv fragment which consists of a light and heavy chain variable domain. Recently, active single chain Fv fragments of antibodies have been produced in Esherichia coli x by attaching the light and heavy chain variable domains together with a peptide linker3,4. Here we describe the construction and expression in E coli. of a single chain antibody toxin fusion protein, anti-Tac(Fv)–PE40, in which the variable regions of anti-Tac, a monoclonal antibody to the p55 subunit of the human interleukin-2 receptor5, are joined in peptide linkage to PE40, a modified form of Pseudomonas exotoxin lacking its binding domain. Anti-Tac(Fv)–PE40 was very cytotoxic to two interleukin-2 receptor-bearing human cell lines but was not cytotoxic to receptor-negative cells.
