Abstract

Recently more emphasis has been placed on developing anti-cancer agents with greater specificity and fewer side effects. Immunotoxins and their relatives, mitotoxins, have arisen as possible answers. Mitotoxins are composed of mitogens coupled to plant or bacterial toxins. The mitotoxin under investigation is the EGF-Pyrularia Thionin combination.
