Antibodies redirect cytolytic capacity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Published in Cancer Weekly, November 30th, 2004
"To redirect the lytic activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) toward tumor vascular endothelial cells, we prepared bifunctional proteins with specificity for both alphav beta3 and CD3. Monocyclic RGD peptides (cRGDfK) were covalently coupled to an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody at different peptide-protein ratios. The resulting RGDpep-anti-CD3 conjugates bound specifically to alphav beta3 -expressing endothelial cells," researchers in the Netherlands report.
