Conjugation of Folate via Gelonin Carbohydrate Residues Retains Ribosomal-inactivating Properties of the Toxin and Permits Targeting to Folate Receptor Positive Cells
<p style="text-align:justify;">Conjugation of folate to proteins permits receptor-mediated endocytosis via the folate receptor (FR) and delivery of the conjugate into the cytoplasm of cells. Since many cancers up-regulate the FR it has enabled the targeting of toxins to tumor cells r...
