Peptide Synthesis> | Unless otherwise noted, peptides used in this study including IF7C(RR) or IFLLWQRCRR and C(RR) or CRR, were synthesised by GenScript (Piscataway, NJ).... Untagged ANXA1 and deletion mutants were isolated by His-tagged enterokinase (Genscript) treatment followed by Ni-affinity chromatography. | Get A Quote |
Background: Annexin A1 is expressed specifically on the tumour vasculature surface. Intravenously injected IF7 targets tumour vasculature via annexin A1. We tested the hypothesis that IF7 overcomes the blood-brain barrier and that the intravenously injected IF7C(RR)-SN38 eradicates brain tumours in the mouse. Methods: (1) A dual-tumour model was generated by inoculating luciferase-expressing melanoma B16 cell line, B16-Luc, into the brain and under the skin of syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. IF7C(RR)-SN38 was injected intravenously daily at 7.0 μmoles/kg and growth of tumours was assessed by chemiluminescence using an IVIS imager. A similar dual-tumour model was generated with the C6-Luc line in immunocompromised S... More
