Retargeting of T cells to prostate stem cell antigen expressing tumor cells: Comparison of different antibody formats

Abstract

Irrespective of the underlying antibody format, both novel bispecific antibodies cause an efficient killing of PSCA-positive tumor cells by pre- and non-pre-activated T cells. Killing and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines requires an antigen specific cross-linkage of the T cells with the target cells.
