Abstract
A method for controlling the overgrowth of hyperproliferating cells in the presence of non-proliferating cells by exposing the hyperproliferating cells to a toxin conjugate that has a binding region that binds to an internalizable element of the hyperproliferating cell and a toxic moiety bound thereto is provided. The toxin conjugate may be a monoclonal antibody to transferrin receptor. Such toxin conjugates will have use in controlling hyperproliferative diseases of the integument and the eye.
