NEOPLASIA Effective treatment of a murine model of adult T-cell leukemia using 211At-7G7/B6 and its combination with unmodified anti-Tac (daclizumab) directed toward CD25From the Metabolism Branch and the Radiation Oncology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD; and Clinical Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) consists of an overabundance of T cells, which express CD25. Therapeutic efficacy of astatine-211 (211At)labeled murine monoclonal antibody 7G7/B6 alone and in combination with daclizumab was evaluated in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice given injections of MET-1 human T-cell leukemia cells. Daclizumab and 7G7/B6 are directed toward different epitopes of CD25. Either a single dose of 12 µCi (0.444 MBq) 211At-7G7/B6 per mouse given intravenously or receptor-saturating doses of daclizumab given at 100 µg weekly for 4 weeks intravenously inhibited tumor growth as monitored by serum levels of human
