Immunotherapy based on bispecific T-cell engager with hIgG1 Fc sequence as a new therapeutic strategy in multiple myeloma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bispecific antibodies play an important role in immunotherapy. They have received intense interest from pharmaceutical enterprises. The first antibody drug, OKT3 (muromonab-CD3), showed great performance in clinical treatment. We have successfully developed a single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) combination of anti-CD3 ScFv and anti-CD138 ScFv with the hIgG1 Fc (hIgFc) sequence. The novel bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) with an additional hIgFc (BiTE-hIgFc, STL001) can target T cells, natural killer cells, and multiple myeloma cells (RPMI-8226 or U266). In addition, BiTE-hIgFc (STL001) has nanomolar-level affinity to recombinant human CD138 protein and shows more potent antitumor activity against RPMI-8226 cells than that of separate aCD3-ScFv-hIgFc and aCD138-ScFv-hIgFc, or the isotype mAb in vitro or in vivo.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have become molecules of choice to treat autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Moreover, bispecific/multispecific antibodies that target more than one antigen or epitope on a target cell or recruit effector cells (T cell, natural killer cell, or macrophage cell) toward target cells have shown great potential to maximize the benefits of antibo...

Blinatumomab, the bispecific T cell engager, has been demonstrated as the most successful BsAb to date. Throughout the past decade, vector design has great importance for the expression of monoclonal antibody in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. It has been indicated that expression plasmids based on the elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) gene and DHFR selection marker can be highly effect...

Targeted therapy has been the forefront of cancer treatment. Cancer immunotherapy is the most recent focus. In addition, novel immunotherapeutics targeting B cell receptor signaling (e.g., ibrutinib), T cell receptor ( e.g., CART19), and NK cells (e.g., AFM13) are being developed. This review summarized the new development in blinatumomab (MT103/MEDI-538), a first-in-class bispecific T engager ...

Background: Bispecific antibodies represent an important class of mAbs, with great therapeutic potentials due to their ability to target simultaneously two distinct epitopes. The generation of functional bispecific antibodies with the highest possible yields is particularly critical for the production of these compounds on industrial scales. Anti- CD3 × CD19 bsAb is a bispecific T-cell engager ...
