| Abstract | A panel of six murine monoclonal antibodies against hepatocellular carcinoma-associated antigens, reactive with PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cells, was conjugated to Adriamycin (doxorubicin) via a dextran bridge. This library of antibodies includes three monoclonal antibodies against hepatitis B virus surface antigen, one anti-alpha-fetoprotein, and two other IgG2a antibodies against PLC/PRF/5 hepatoma-associated antigens. The use of dextran for conjugation of Adriamycin to antibodies enabled a 5- to 10-fold amplification of the number of drug molecules linked to antibody. Conjugation of Adriamycin to dextran caused an occasional reduction in the pharmacologic activity of dextran-Adriamycin in [3H]thymidine incorporation assays in hepatoma cells as compared to nonconjugated Adriamycin. This loss of anticellular activity was partially compensated for by conjugation of specific antibodies to the dextran-Adriamycin conjugate. Conjugated compounds completely retained their binding activity to purified hepatitis B virus surface antigen and alpha-fetoprotein fixed to a solid matrix as compared to binding of homologous nonconjugated antibodies. However, some reduction of the binding activity to intact hepatoma cells was observed in three of six conjugates. Binding activity to hepatoma cells and, as a consequence, suppression of tumor cell DNA synthesis by the various conjugates was enhanced as compared to the same effect in treated colorectal carcinoma cells that do not express the relevant hepatoma-associated proteins. Furthermore, two conjugates containing nonspecific antibodies did not bind to hepatoma cells and caused minimal suppression of DNA synthesis. These results suggest that this panel of monoclonal antibody-dextran-Adriamycin conjugates was effective in suppression of PLC/PRF/5 cell growth in vitro. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
