Research Abstract |
An immunoliposome containing a ^<10>B compound has been examined as a selective drug delivery system in boron neutron capture therapy. Immunoliposome was prepared by conjugating anti-CEA monoclonal antibody (MoAb) with liposomes containing ^<10>B compound. The immunoliposome were shown to bind selectively to human pancreatic carcinoma cells (AsPC-1) bearing CEA on their surface. Boronated anti-CEA immunoliposome exhibited the suppression of tumor cell growth in vitro selectively upon thermal neutron irradiation. The control boronated anti-DNP immunoliposome could not show the suppression. The tumor growth of inplanted AsPC-1 cells after injection of ^<10>B-immunoliposome was suppressed upone thermal neutron irradiation in in vitro. Histopathologically, hyalinization and necrosis were found in the tumor tissues. The tumor tissue injected with saline-containing immunoliposome and irradiated showed neither destruction nor necrosis. The tumor growth suppression treated with ^<10>B-immunoliposome was stronger than the groups treated with ^<10>B-compound solutions or MoAb-free 10B containing liposome upon thermal neutron irradiation. The results suggested that boronated immunoliposome can deliver a great amount of ^<10>B atoms to the tumor cells selectively and exert cytotoxicity and tumor growth suppression on them upon thermal neutron irradiation.
