Published in Clinical Oncology Week, March 27th, 2006

Micromet AG reports results published in Molecular Immunology suggest that BiTE's potency and independence of costimuli may come from the highly effective induction of cytolytic synapses between T cells and target cells.

Such cytolytic immunological synapses represent key subcellular structures for specific T cell function and activation, which are normally induced by the interaction of a specific T cell receptor (TCR) on T cells with a corresponding peptide/MHC class I complex on target cells. Intriguingly, BiTE molecules are capable of triggering formation of cytolytic synapses independent of TCR specificity and the expression of MHC class I molecules on target...
