Abstract

Glycoprotein (GPIR) the ribosome-inhibiting activity of the native GPIR and having a prolongedaction in vivo which is obtained by oxidation of its osidic units by the action of periodate ions, and simultaneous blocking of the oxidation product by formation of a Schiff's base with a suitable primary amine. Said modified glycoprotein may be coupled to an antibody or a fragment thereof in order to form an immunotoxin.
