K18 (3-[p-(N,N-bis(2'-chloroethyl)amino)- phenyl]-L-alanine conjugated with human immunoglobulin) is a newly developed antitumor agent. LD50 values of K18 in animals were quite high, suggesting its low acute toxicity. This drug showed anti-tumorigenicity not only on an experimental animal tumor (Walker 256), but also on a human tumor transplantable into nude mice (RCC-13). A distribution study clarified the unique properties of K18 to accumulate and remain in the tumor site with a high rate.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
