  • Cytotoxic enhancement of TNF with copper
    Patent number: 5632982
    Abstract: Copper chelates serve as cytotoxic agents in conjunction with a surface membrane protein receptor internalizing agent, particularly TNF, which has independent cytotoxic activity, for use against target cells. By employing concentrations of the two agents, where the agents have substantially reduced adverse side effects, the combination is shown to have effective cytotoxic activity.
