development of an immunoproapoptotic molecule with antitumor activity: Her2-antigen e23sFv-TD-tBID with a 10-amino acid residue furin cleavage sequence. e23sFv-TD-tBID shows therapeutic value to humans by its cytotoxic effects on primary patient-derived breast tumor cells but not on endothelial cells. It also shows in vivo antitumor activity in female BALB/c athymic mice, overview
