Bispecific antibodies, nanoparticles and cells: bringing the right cells to get the job done

, PhD, , PhD MD, , PhD MD, , DPhil DSc & , PhD (Associate Professor of Regenerative Medicine)

Figures & data

Figure 1. (A) Bispecific T cell engager antibodies are designed to exclusively target T cells and transiently engage activated T-cells for lysis of selected cancerous cells. (B) Bispecific antibodies were armed with CD34+ stem cells prior to intravenous infusion. After infusion, armed CD34+ stem cells could target the injured myocardium, which expressed an injury biomarker MLC. (C) Anti-CD45 antibody was modified with Traut’s reagent and anti-MLC was modified with sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane1-carboxylate (SulfoSMCC); mixture of the two and overnight crosslinking produced a BiAbs with anti-CD45 × anti-MLC specificities.

Figure 2. Magnetic bispecific cell engager agents are iron nanoparticles conjugated with two types of antibodies, one against antigens on therapeutic cells and the other directed at injured cells.
