Generation of antibody-based therapeutics targeting the Idiotype of B-cell Malignancies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundA feature of many B-cell tumors is a surface-expressed immunoglobulin (sIg). The complementarity determiningregions (CDRs)of the sIg, termed the 'idiotype', are unique to each tumor. We report on a phage selection strategy to generate anti-idiotype therapeutics that react with sIg CDR3 sequences: the MEC1 B-cell tumor line was used as proof of concept.
methodsTo create a mimetic of the MEC1 idiotype, CDR3 sequences from heavy and light chains of the sIg were grafted into a scFv framework scaffold. Using the Tomlinson I phage library of human scFvs, we enriched for binders to MEC1 CDR3 sequences over unrelated CDR3 sequences.
resultsBy ELISA we identified 10 binder phage. Of these, five were sequenced, found to be unique and characterized further. By flow cytometry each of the five phage bound to MEC1 cells, albeit with different patterns of reactivity. To establish specificity of binding and utility, the scFv sequences from two of these binders (phage 1, and 7) were converted into antibody-toxin fusion proteins (immunotoxins) and also cloned into a human IgG1 expression vector. Binder-1 and -7 immunotoxins exhibited specific killing of MEC1 cells with little toxicity for non-target B-cell lines. The full-length antibody recreated from the binder-1 scFv so exhibited specific binding.
conclusionOur results establish the utility of using engrafted CDR3 sequences for selecting phage that recognize the idiotype of B-cell tumors.
