Staphylococci, especially pathogenic staphylococci, produce many enzymes and toxins outside the bacterial body. Leukocidin is one of the staphylococcal exotoxins.
Van der Velde [Cellule, 10 , 401 (1894)] discovered a toxic substance in the culture of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from human pyogenic foci that, apart from hemolytic toxins, preferentially damages white blood cells. Then Panton
[Lancet, 1 , 506 (1932)] named this toxin leukocidin, meaning that it has no hemolytic activity and specifically lyses human and rabbit polynucleated leukocytes.

Woodin [Biochem.J., 75 , 158 (1960)] cultivated Staphylococcus aureus V8 strain isolated from human lesions.
Leukocidin is purified by using carboxymethyl cellulose column chromatography, naming the two components F component and S component, which are eluted depending on the salt concentration, and the leukocidin's leukocyte lytic activity appears only when these two components are used together. revealed. In addition, in recent years, Kato et al.
Biophysica Acta. 633 , 33 (1980), Infection
andImmunity, 34(2) , 362 (1981), Infection
andImmunity, 35(1) , 38 (1982)] used carboxymethyl-SephadexC-50 to leukocidin obtained from Staphylococcus aureus V8 strain. We are purifying it using column chromatography and zone electrophoresis, crystallizing the two components mentioned above, F and S, and elucidating their physicochemical properties and leukocyte lytic action. However, to date, there has been no example of using this leukocidin as a medicine, for example, as a therapeutic agent for diseases such as leukemia. This is because there is no difference in the leukocyte lytic effect of leukocidin between normal polynucleated leukocytes and leukemia cells, and for example, if you try to lyse all leukemia cells in whole blood, all normal polynucleated leukocytes will be lysed at the same time, which is undesirable. This is because the results were considered. This was confirmed in an experiment conducted by Kato et al. [Infection and Immunity, 34(2) , 362]
(1981)]. In other words, Kato et al.
Using 125 I-labeled leukocidin, we investigated the binding rate to human normal leukocytes and human myeloid leukemia cells, and obtained experimental results that showed almost no difference between the two.

As a result of separate research into the pharmacological effects of Staphylococcal leukocidin, particularly its antitumor effects, the present inventors found that the difference in sensitivity of various cells to Staphylococcus leukocidin does not depend on the number of receptors on the cell membrane, but rather on the leukocidin S It was found that staphylococcal leukocidin is dependent on the degree of activation of phospholipase A2 in the leukocyte membrane, which occurs by binding to its receptor ganglioside G M1 . We have discovered the surprising fact that it exhibits extremely high sensitivity (cytolytic action) to leukemia cells.

The susceptibility of Staphylococcal leukocidin to myeloid leukemia is particularly high in humans, such as mouse myeloid leukemia cell C1498 and human myeloid leukemia cell.
Using HL-60, the minimum amount of staphylococcal leukocidin to lyse 1 x 10 6 leukocytes is 250 ng of C1498;
It is 5pg in HL-60, which is 50,000 times more sensitive. On the other hand, the minimum amount of staphylococcal leukocidin that can lyse 1 x 10 6 normal polynuclear leukocytes in humans is 50 pg.
1/10 of the sensitivity to myeloid leukemia cells,
It is possible to lyse myeloid leukemia cells without significantly affecting normal polynuclear leukocytes.
