TP3-pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) immunotoxin is directed against the p80 antigen on osteosarcoma cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that TP3-PAP kills clonogenic human osteosarcoma cells in vitro and shows significant antitumor activity in a murine soft tissue sarcoma model (P. M. Anderson, et al, Cancer Res., 55: 1321-1327, 1995.) In this study, we demonstrate that TP3-PAP elicits potent in vivo antitumor activity in a hamster cheek pouch model of human osteosarcoma. Furthermore, treatment with TP3-PAP at nontoxic dose levels significantly delayed the emergence and progression of leg tumors and markedly improved tumor-free survival in severe combined immunodeficient mice challenged with OHS human osteosarcoma cells. Thus, TP3-PAP may be useful in the treatment of poor risk osteosarcoma.

Successful treatment of many patients with osteosarcoma requires more effective chemotherapy. Since new agents are needed, we have developed an immunotoxin using TP-3, an IgG2b mAb which recognizes human and canine osteosarcomas and budding capillaries of tumors. The plant hemitoxin, pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), was conjugated to TP-3 to produce an immunotoxin highly active against osteosarcoma. After 48 h no viable human OHS osteosarcoma cells were present in cultures containing TP-3-PAP as demonstrated by the absence of [3H]thymidine uptake into DNA. Furthermore, clonogenic assays indicated > 3.9 log kill of OHS at 18 h. The IC50 of TP-3-PAP against OHS was 3.5 +/- 1.0 (SD) x 10(-12) M. TP-3 mAb without PAP had no effect on OHS proliferation; PAP alone had no effect on OHS growth unless concentrations > 1000 pM were used. When TP-3-PAP (1.25 micrograms-10.0 micrograms) was given i.p. q.d. on days 3-5 after tumor inoculation, a dose-dependent reduction of the number of lung metastases was observed (P < 0.001). These results indicate that the TP-3-PAP immunotoxin may be useful in the treatment of osteosarcoma and some soft tissue sarcomas.
