Abstract

A recombinant alpha-fetoprotein (rAFP) was obtained in the yeast P. pastoris system, and its functional activity was confirmed. A method for producing polymer particles loaded with dactinomycin was developed, and a conjugate of these nanoparticles with rAFP was synthesized. The efficiency of the obtained conjugate on the HeLa, SKOV3, and MG-63 tumor cells and the absence of toxicity on the normal cells was shown. Experiments in vivo demonstrated a significant increase in the antitumor efficacy of the conjugate at a lower general toxicity as compared to the commercially available dactinomycin.
