Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Recombinant therapeutic cytokines (“therakines”) for the treatment of cancer are provided. The recombinant therakines include a truncated region of MDA-7/TL-24 (“M4”) not normally found in nature that has anti-cancer activity and a secretory signal which causes secretion of the therakine from plasmid/virus transduced normal and cancer cells and interaction of the therakine to MDA-7/IL-24 receptors on adjacent, neighboring and distant cancer cells. Therakine interaction results in bystander killing of the target cancer cell as well as adjacent, neighboring and distant cancer cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A recombinant cytokine comprising: i) a fragment of MDA-7/IL-24 that has antitumor activity and interacts with MDA-7/IL-24 receptors on the surface of cancer cells; and ii) a heterologous secretory leader sequence, wherein: a) said heterologous secretory leader sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 3, or b) said recombinant cytokine comprises SEQ ID NO: 5. 2. The recombinant cytokine of claim 1 , wherein said fragment of MDA-7/IL-24 comprises SEQ ID NO: 1.
