These bispecific antibodies can recruite NK cells to kill CEA-positive tumor cells, and inhibit tumor growth in vivo, suggesting that these anti-CD16a single domain antibodies are powerful tools to engaging NK cells for cancer therapy.
We explore a variety of natural killer (NK) cells as mediators of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) including primary NK cells, expanded NK cells as well as the CD16 transduced NK-92 cell line which is currently under study in clinical trials as a treatment for cancer.
Gene-modified NK-92MI cells expressing a chimeric CD16-BB-ζ or CD64-BB-ζ receptor exhibit enhanced cancer-killing ability in combination with therapeutic antibody.
We suggest that Wnt5a is a possible candidate mediator for the CD14⁺/⁺⁺ CD16⁺ monocyte accumulation seen in patients with infectious disease and cancer.
A heterodimeric bispecific biological recombinant drug was synthesized by splicing DNA fragments from two fully humanized single-chain variable-fragment (scFV) antibody fragments forming a novel drug simultaneously recognizing the CD16 natural killer (NK) cell marker and the cancer marker epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM).
Bispecific anti-HER2 and CD16 single-chain antibody production prolongs the use of stem cell-like cell transplantation against HER2-overexpressing cancer.
