In this study we describe immunotoxins prepared with different CD2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and a ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. The CD2 immunotoxins were tested on different models. Anti-CD2-saporin conjugates inhibited protein synthesis by a neoplastic CD2+ cell line (SKW-3) and by an interleukin 2 dependent polyclonal CD2+ lymphoid cell culture (T lymphoblasts), with IC50s ranging from 10(-13) M to 10(-11) M (as saporin). Similar results were obtained with proliferation inhibition tests (3H-thymidine incorporation) on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) driven lymphoid cultures and on mixed lymphocyte culture activated lymphocytes. Moreover a CD2-ricin A chain conjugate was less effective than an analogous immunotoxin containing the same CD2 mAb and saporin in inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation induced by PHA (IC50 approximately 10(-9) M as ricin A chain versus 10(-12) M as saporin). The conjugates were not toxic on bone marrow stem cells. These results suggest that CD2-saporin immunotoxins could represent an effective tool for CD2+ lymphomas or leukaemias, and for T-dependent immune disorders, such as transplanted organ rejection and graft-versus-host disease.

A sandwich electrochemical immunosensor was proposed for the sensitive detection of protective antigen ( PA) toxin based on cadmium sulphide nanocrystals (CdS NCs) and polypyrrole-gold nanoparticle-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs). Herein, PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs were used as a biocompatible and conducting matrix for immobilization of rabbit anti-PA antibody [RαPA antibody, capturing antibody (Ab1)] and to facilitate excellent electrical conductivity. PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs were synthesized through a one-step chemical reaction of pyrrole and Au on the surface of MWCNTs.

Article Synopsis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is identified as a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by an increase in CD2-expressing lymphocytes and T cells in affected skin areas.
- CD2+ cells, primarily innate lymphocytes and CD4 T cells, interact with keratinocytes and fibroblasts, highlighting their role in the disease's unique skin dynamics.
- Blocking the CD2:CD58 interaction may reduce inflammation and suggests a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for managing HS.

In this report, we present the results on the physicochemical characterization of cadmium telluride quantum dots (QDs) stabilized with glutathione and prepared by optimizing the synthesis conditions. An excellent control of emissions and the composition of the nanocrystal surface for its potential application in monoclonal antibody and biomarker testing was achieved. Two samples (QDYellow, QDOrange, corresponding to their emission colors) were analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), and their hydrodynamic sizes were 6.

Background/aim: Elotuzumab, an anti-SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody, can enhance immune activity via elevated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and reduced SLAMF7CD8CD57 regulatory T-cells (Tregs). This multicenter observational study investigated the kinetics of lymphocytes in myeloma patients treated with elotuzumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (ERd) by two-color flow cytometry using peripheral blood samples.
Patients And Methods: Twenty-one patients were included in this study.
