“…Many toxin warheads have been investigated for potential development as immunotoxin-based therapeutics including: ricin, diphtheria toxin, pseudomonas exotoxin A, gelonin, bouganin, saponin and various mutants of each (Alewine et al ., 2015; Antignani and Fitzgerald, 2013; Carreras-Sangrà et al ., 2008). A number of these immunotoxins have been tested in clinical trials, particularly PE38 (a truncated pseudomonas exotoxin A variant), gelonin and ricin (Borthakur et al ., 2013; Hassan et al ., 2013, 2014; Kreitman et al ., 2000, 2009; Schnell et al ., 2003; Schindler et al ., 2011).…”
