Targeted Apoptosis Activation with GrB/scFvMEL Modulates Melanoma Growth, Metastatic Spread, Chemosensitivity, and Radiosensitivity

Targeted Apoptosis Activation with GrB/scFvMEL Modulates Melanoma Growth, Metastatic Spread, Chemosensitivity, and Radiosensitivity

GrB/scFvMEL, a fusion protein composed of human granzyme B (GrB) and the single-chain antibody scFvMEL, targets melanoma gp240 antigen and exerts impressive cytotoxic effects by inducing apoptosis. We evaluated the effects of GrB/scFvMEL on chemotherapy, radiation therapy, metastasis in vitro, and...
