Targeting claudin‐overexpressing thyroid and lung cancer by modified Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin

Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) can be used to eliminate carcinoma cells that overexpress on their cell surface CPE receptors – a subset of claudins (e.g., Cldn3 and Cldn4). However, CPE cannot target tumors expressing solely CPE‐insensitive claudins (such as Cldn1 and Cldn5). To overcome...
