Hickerson BT, Daniels-Wells TR, Payes C, Clark LE, Candelaria PV, Bailey KW, Sefing EJ, Zink S, Ziegenbein J, Abraham J, Helguera G, Penichet ML, Gowen BB (2022) Host receptor-targeted therapeutic approach to counter pathogenic New World mammarenavirus infections. Nat Commun 13(1):558. doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-27949-3
Objective: Demonstrate that a fusion protein of the antibody (ch128.1/IgG1) directed against the apical domain of human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1) and the Machupo virus (MACV) can inhibit infection of attenuated and pathogenic New World mammarenaviruses (NWMs).
Summary: NWMs cause life-threatening hemorrhagic fever (HF) and these viruses enter into cells via hTfR1. Use of ch128.1/IgG1 with other promising direct-acting small molecule antivirals or antibodies targeting the viral envelope glycoprotein would provide a complementary therapeutic strategy that would increase efficacy and reduce the emergence of drug resistance.
Usage: References MonoBiotin-ZAP reacted with avidinylated anti-hTfR (ch128.1Av) in a 1:1 molar ratio on ice for 30 minutes.

Probing transferrin receptor overexpression in gastric cancer mice models
Lodhi MS, Khan MT, Bukhari SMH, Sabir SH, Samra ZQ, Butt H, Akram MS (2021) Probing transferrin receptor overexpression in gastric cancer mice models. ACS Omega 6(44):29893-29904. doi: 10.1021/acsomega.1c04382
Objective: To investigate the role of the transferrin receptor, a glycoprotein receptor that is expressed many-folds on rapidly growing cells due to the greater demand of iron, in gastric cancer.
Summary: A mouse model of gastric cancer has the potential to be used in the future to study the therapeutic effects of cancer medicines, and overexpression of transferrin receptors could be identified through the designed probe to be used as diagnostics.

Toxicol In Vitro 27(1):220-231. doi: 10.1016/j.tiv.2012.10.006
Summary: The antibody-avidin fusion protein ch128.1Av has been shown to target the human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and kill malignant B cells by blocking the use of iron. Combination of this construct with a mono-biotinylated saporin custom conjugate produces an iron-independent toxicity to TfR1-expressing cells, even those that are resistant to ch128.1Av alone. The saporin-containing conjugate induces a transcriptional response consistent with oxidative stress and DNA damage. The data also show that the saporin conjugate is not toxic to human hematopoeietic stem cells.
Usage: An antibody-avidin fusion protein (ch128.1Av) was mixed with MonoBiotin-ZAP to make an immunotoxin that targets the human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1).
