VHH-Based Bispecific Antibodies Targeting Cytokine Production
Proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-6, and IL-1, play pathogenic roles in multiple diseases and are attractive targets for biologic drugs. Because proinflammatory cytokines possess non-redundant protective and immunoregulatory functions, their systemic neutralization carries the potential for unwanted side effects. Therefore, next-generation anti-cytokine therapies would seek to selectiv...
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 کاملNanocell targeting using engineered bispecific antibodies
There are many design formats for bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), and the best design choice is highly dependent on the final application. Our aim was to engineer BsAbs to target a novel nanocell (EnGeneIC Delivery Vehicle or EDV(TM)nanocell) to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EDV(TM)nanocells are coated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and BsAb designs incorporated single chain Fv (s...
متن کاملProduction of Native Bispecific Antibodies in Rabbits
BACKGROUND A natural bispecific antibody, which can be produced by exchanging Fab arms of two IgG4 molecules, was first described in allergic patients receiving therapeutic injections with two distinct allergens. However, no information has been published on the production of natural bispecific antibody in animals. Even more important, establishment of an animal model is a useful approach to in...
متن کاملTargeting HER3 using mono- and bispecific antibodies or alternative scaffolds
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) has in recent years been recognized as a key node in the complex signaling network of many different cancers. It is implicated in de novo and acquired resistance against therapies targeting other growth factor receptors, e.g., EGFR, HER2, and it is a major activator of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Consequently, HER3 has attracted substantia...
