Targeting prostate cancer cells in vivo using a rapidly internalizing novel human single-chain antibody fragment.
UNLABELLED Human antibodies targeting prostate cancer cell surface epitopes may be useful for imaging and therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tumor targeting of an internalizing human antibody fragment, a small-size platform, to provide high contrast in a mouse model of human prostate carcinoma. METHODS A prostate tumor-targeting single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), UA2...
متن کاملStrategies for Bispecific Single Chain Antibody in Cancer Immunotherapy
Genetic engineering has resulted in more than 50 recombinant bispecific antibody formats over the past two decades. Bispecific scFv antibodies represent a successful and promising immunotherapy platform that retargets cytotoxic T cells to tumor cells, with one scFv directed to tumor-associated antigens and the other to T cells. Based on this antibody construct, strategies for both specific tumo...
متن کاملQuantitation of antibody to non-hemagglutinating viruses by single radial hemolysis: serological test for human coronaviruses.
A single radial hemolysis test was developed for quantitation of specific antibody to non-hemagglutinating viruses. With the human coronaviruses as models, this test utilizes the binding properties of the chromic cation to attach viruses to glutaraldehyde-treated sheep erythrocytes. The most satisfactory system consisted of stabilizing washed sheep erythrocytes with 0.0073% glutaraldehyde for 1...
متن کاملBispecific antibodies targeting cancer cells.
In recent years, antibody therapy has become a new treatment modality for tumour patients, although the majority of responses are only partial and not long lasting. Based on evidence that effector-cell-mediated mechanisms significantly contribute to antibody efficacy in vivo, several approaches are currently pursued to improve the interaction between Fc receptor-expressing effector cells and tu...
متن کاملTargeting Human-Cytomegalovirus-Infected Cells by Redirecting T Cells Using an Anti-CD3/Anti-Glycoprotein B Bispecific Antibody
The host immune response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is effective against HCMV reactivation from latency, though not sufficient to clear the virus. T cells are primarily responsible for the control of viral reactivation. When the host immune system is compromised, as in transplant recipients with immunosuppression, HCMV reactivation and progressive infection can cause serious morbidity and ...
