They are artificial antibodies produced by chemical crosslinking, fusion of HYBRIDOMA cells, or by molecular genetic techniques. They function as the main mediators of targeted cellular cytotoxicity and have been shown to be efficient in the targeting of drugs, toxins, radiolabeled haptens, and effector cells to diseased tissue, primarily tumors.

Immunotherapy of human tumors with T-cell-activating bispecific antibodies: stimulation of cytotoxic pathways in vivo. (1/429)

Bispecific monoclonal antibodies (Bi-mAbs) specific for a tumor-associated antigen and the CD3 or CD28 antigen on T lymphocytes represent one of the most successful experimental strategies for the immunotherapy of cancer. We report that the in vivo administration of both alpha-CD3/CD30 and alpha-CD28/CD30 Bi-mAbs results in the specific activation of xenotransplanted, resting human T cells infiltrating the CD30-positive Hodgkin's tumor. Bi-mAb treatment resulted in enhanced expression of cytokines such as interleukin 1beta, interleukin 2, tumor necrosis factor type alpha, and activation markers including Ki-67, CD25, and CD45RO in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This antigen-dependent, local T-cell stimulation led to the activation of the cytolytic machinery in T lymphocytes, determined by the up-regulation of mRNA-encoding perforin and the cytotoxic serine-esterases granzymes A and B. The Bi-mAb-induced generation of CTLs depended on the presence of the CD30 antigen and the combined application of both Bi-mAbs. Our findings suggest that the combined application of T-cell-activating Bi-mAbs is able to achieve a tumor site-specific activation of the T-cell cytolytic machinery in vivo. The fact that these cytotoxic cells do not home in tumor-associated antigen-negative tissue and do not enter circulation might explain our previous observations (C. Renner et al., Blood, 87: 2930-2937, 1996) of a high cure rate in preclinical models even at an advanced stage of disease. (+info)

Dual specificity antibodies using a double-stranded oligonucleotide bridge. (2/429)

The covalent conjugation of oligonucleotides to antibody Fab' fragments was optimized by using oligonucleotides modified with a hexaethylene linker arm bearing three amino groups. One oligonucleotide was coupled to antibody of one specificity and a complementary oligonucleotide to antibody of a second specificity. The antibodies were then allowed to hybridize by base pairing of the complementary nucleotide sequences and the generation of bispecific antibody was analyzed on SDS-PAGE and confirmed using BIAcore analysis. The strategy of complementary oligonucleotide-linked bispecific molecules is not limited to antibodies but is applicable to linking any two molecules of different characteristics. (+info)

An effective strategy of human tumor vaccine modification by coupling bispecific costimulatory molecules. (3/429)

A new, generally applicable procedure is described for the introduction of defined costimulatory molecules into human cancer cells to increase their T-cell stimulatory capacity. The procedure involves infection with Newcastle disease virus to mediate the cell surface binding of costimulatory molecules (e.g., specially designed bispecific antibodies (bsAb)). The modification is independent of tumor cell proliferation and laborious recombinant gene technology and can be applied directly to freshly isolated and gamma-irradiated patient-derived tumor cells as an autologous cancer vaccine. Following the infection of tumor cells with a nonvirulent strain of Newcastle disease virus, the cells are washed and then further modified by coincubation with bsAbs, which attach with one arm to the viral hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) molecule on the infected tumor cells. The second specificity of one bsAb (bs HN x CD28) is directed against CD28 to augment antitumor T-cell responses by selectively channeling positive costimulatory signals via the CD28 pathway. A second bsAb (bs HN x CD3) was produced to deliver T-cell receptor-mediated signals either alone (bsCD3 vaccine) or in combination with anti-CD28 (bsCD3 vaccine plus bsCD28 vaccine). In human T-cell stimulation studies in vitro, the bsCD28 vaccine caused an up-regulation of early (CD69) and late (CD25) T-cell activation markers on CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes from either normal healthy donors or cancer patients (autologous system) and induced tumor cytostasis in nonmodified bystander tumor cells. In addition, in combination with the bsCD3 vaccine, augmented antitumor cytotoxicity and T-cell proliferative responses were observed. This tumor vaccine modification procedure is highly specific, quick, economic, and has a broad range of clinical applications. (+info)

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-specific T-cell activation in colon carcinoma induced by anti-CD3 x anti-CEA bispecific diabodies and B7 x anti-CEA bispecific fusion proteins. (4/429)

Two bispecific recombinant molecules, an anti-CD3 x anti-carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) diabody and a B7 x anti-CEA fusion protein, were tested for their capacity to specifically activate T cells in the presence of CEA-expressing colon carcinoma cells. T-cell activation by the anti-CD3 x anti-CEA diabody required close contact to CEA-positive cells and resulted in diabody-mediated cytotoxicity against the target cells. Additionally, CD28-mediated costimulation in combination with anti-CD3 x anti-CEA diabodies induced activation of autologous T cells in CEA-positive primary colon carcinoma specimens, as determined by flow cytometry. The high specificity of the bispecific diabody approach could be further enhanced by the use of B7 x anti-CEA fusion proteins because the costimulatory CD28-signaling to the T cells strictly depended on the expression of CEA on the target cells. We demonstrate that displaying engagement sites for the T-cell antigens CD3 and CD28 on the surface of colon carcinoma cells is a suitable way to activate and retarget T cells in a highly tumor-specific manner. For clinical purposes, B7 x anti-tumor-associated antigen (TAA) fusion proteins, which are equally effective but more specific compared with anti-CD28 monoclonal anti-bodies, thus may improve the tumor specificity of anti-CD3 x anti-TAA bispecific antibodies. Furthermore, B7-negative tumors can be converted into B7-positive tumors by B7 x anti-TAA fusion proteins without the need for B7 gene transfer to the malignant cells. (+info)

Two-step targeting and dosimetry for small cell lung cancer xenograft with anti-NCAM/antihistamine bispecific antibody and radioiodinated bivalent hapten. (5/429)

The "affinity enhancement system," a two-step targeting technique using bispecific antibody and radiolabeled bivalent hapten, has been reported to be useful for carcinoembryonic antigen-expressing tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this method for targeting human small cell lung cancer using an antineural cell adhesion molecule antibody. METHODS: Antineural cell adhesion molecule/antihistamine bispecific antibody NK1NBL1-679 was prepared by coupling an equimolecular quantity of a Fab' fragment of NK1NBL1 to a Fab fragment of antihistamine 679. Athymic mice inoculated with NCI-H69 small cell lung cancer cells expressing neural cell adhesion molecule were administered bispecific antibody and then 48 h later 125I-labeled bivalent histamine hapten. 125I-labeled intact NK1NBL1 was injected into other groups of mice. Biodistributions were examined as a function of time. RESULTS: In mice of the two-step targeting, tumor uptake was 2.5 +/- 0.2, 3.2 +/- 0.4, 6.4 +/- 2.0, 7.2 +/- 2.7, 6.1 +/- 2.1 and 2.2 +/- 0.4 %ID/g at 5, 30 min, 5, 24, 48 and 96 h, and tumor-to-blood, tumor-to-liver and tumor-to-kidney ratios were 1.4 +/- 1.1, 10.8 +/- 13.2 and 4.6 +/- 4.7, respectively, at 5 h, whereas 125I-labeled NK1NBL1 showed a tumor uptake of 5.7 +/- 0.4 %ID/g and tumor-to-blood, tumor-to-liver and tumor-to-kidney ratios of 0.3 +/- 0.1, 1.1 +/- 0.2 and 0.9 +/- 0.1, respectively, at 5 h. These results were confirmed by autoradiographic studies, which demonstrated clear tumor-to-normal tissue contrast. Dosimetry showed that the affinity enhancement system could enhance the therapeutic potential of the antineural cell adhesion molecule antibody NK1NBL1. CONCLUSION: This two-step targeting method seems promising for the diagnosis and therapy of small cell lung cancer. (+info)

Expression and characterization of bispecific single-chain Fv fragments produced in transgenic plants. (6/429)

We describe the expression of the bispecific antibody biscFv2429 in transgenic suspension culture cells and tobacco plants. biscFv2429 consists of two single-chain antibodies, scFv24 and scFv29, connected by the Trichoderma reesi cellobiohydrolase I linker. biscFv2429 binds two epitopes of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV): the scFv24 domain recognizes neotopes of intact virions, and the scFv29 domain recognizes a cryptotope of the TMV coat protein monomer. biscFv2429 was functionally expressed either in the cytosol (biscFv2429-cyt) or targeted to the apoplast using a murine leader peptide sequence (biscFv2429-apoplast). A third construct contained the C-terminal KDEL sequence for retention in the ER (biscFv2429-KDEL). Levels of cytoplasmic biscFv2429 expression levels were low. The highest levels of antibody expression were for apoplast-targeted biscFv2429-apoplast and ER-retained biscFv2429-KDEL that reached a maximum expression level of 1.65% total soluble protein in transgenic plants. Plant-expressed biscFv2429 retained both epitope specificities, and bispecificity and bivalency were confirmed by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance analysis. This study establishes plant cells as an expression system for bispecific single-chain antibodies for use in medical and biological applications. (+info)

Novel tetravalent and bispecific IgG-like antibody molecules combining single-chain diabodies with the immunoglobulin gamma1 Fc or CH3 region. (7/429)

Although bispecific IgG molecules have been successfully applied for antibody-mediated immunotherapy of tumours, applicability is hampered by the difficulties associated with their generation. In the present study, we have used a bispecific single-chain diabody (scDb) directed against carcinoembryonic antigen and Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase as a model to generate bispecific IgG-like antibody molecules. We show that the fusion of this single-chain diabody to the Fc (scDb-Fc) or CH3 (scDb-CH3) region of the human immunoglobulin gamma1 chain results in the expression of dimeric fusion proteins exhibiting four functional antigen binding sites with increased functional affinity. This strategy represents a new and convenient way to generate IgG-like multivalent and bispecific molecules that are efficiently secreted from mammalian cells. (+info)

Simultaneous activation of T cells and accessory cells by a new class of intact bispecific antibody results in efficient tumor cell killing. (8/429)

Bispecific Abs (bsAb) are promising immunological tools for the elimination of tumor cells in minimal residual disease situations. In principle, they target an Ag on tumor cells and recruit one class of effector cell. Because immune reactions in vivo are more complex and are mediated by different classes of effector cell, we argue that conventional bsAb might not yield optimal immune responses at the tumor site. We therefore constructed a bsAb that combines the two potent effector subclasses mouse IgG2a and rat IgG2b. This bispecific molecule not only recruits T cells via its one binding arm, but simultaneously activates FcgammaR+ accessory cells via its Fc region. We demonstrate here that the activation of both T lymphocytes and accessory cells leads to production of immunomodulating cytokines like IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, and DC-CK1. Thus this new class of bsAb elicits excellent antitumor activity in vitro even without the addition of exogenous IL-2, and therefore represents a totally self-supporting system. (+info)
