Tumor-specific T-bodies: towards clinical application

Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy : CII
Z Eshhar

Abstract

Unlike antibodies, T cells are well suited to penetrate and destroy solid tumors. The T-body approach combines antibody recognition and T cells effector function. It is based on T cells expressing chimeric receptors composed of antibody-derived Fv or scFv as their extracellular recognition elements joined to lymphocyte triggering molecules. This receptors can redirect the specificity of T cells in an MHC independent manner. Upon encountering their target cells, T-bodies are able to undergo specific stimulation for interleukin/cytokine production, and kill hapten-modified or tumor cells in model systems both in vitro and in vivo. T cells expressing chimeric receptors made of antitumor antibodies are able to discriminate between a tumor and normal cell with negligible bystander cytotoxicity. Further studies should be carried out to evaluate and optimize the persistence, homing patterns and reactivation potential of T-bodies in the body.

Cancer Biology: Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
