Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

monoclonal antibody Mono-dgA-RFB4

An immunotoxin of monoclonal antibody (MoAb) RFB4 covalently linked to a single deglycosylated ricin toxin A-chain (dgA), originated from castor beans. MoAb RFB4 recognizes CD22 antigen, a B-cell adhesion protein expressed on malignant cells in about 70 percent of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Ricin toxin A-chain, a potent protein synthesis inhibitor, was deglycosylated and was used in this immunoconjugate to avoid hepatic entrapment. This agent limits specific cytotoxicity of ricin toxin to CD22-positive malignant cells.
