A Novel Anti-B7-H3 × Anti-CD3 Bispecific Antibody with Potent Antitumor Activity

B7-H3 plays an important role in tumor apoptosis, proliferation, adhesion, angiogenesis, invasion, migration, and evasion of immune surveillance. It is overexpressed in various human solid tumor tissues. In patients, B7-H3 overexpression correlates with advanced stages, poor clinical outcomes, and r...

description B7-H3 plays an important role in tumor apoptosis, proliferation, adhesion, angiogenesis, invasion, migration, and evasion of immune surveillance. It is overexpressed in various human solid tumor tissues. In patients, B7-H3 overexpression correlates with advanced stages, poor clinical outcomes, and resistance to therapy. The roles of B7-H3 in tumor progression make it a potential candidate for targeted therapy. Here, we generated a mouse anti-human B7-H3 antibody and demonstrated its binding activity via Tongji University Suzhou Instituteprotein-based and cell-based assays. We then developed a novel format anti-B7-H3 × anti-CD3 bispecific antibody based on the antibody-binding fragment of the anti-B7-H3 antibody and single-chain variable fragment structure of anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) and demonstrated that this bispecific antibody mediated potent cytotoxic activities against various B7-H3-positive tumor cell lines in vitro by improving T cell activation and proliferation. This bispecific antibody also demonstrated potent antitumor activity in humanized mice xenograft models. These results revealed that the novel anti-B7-H3 × anti-CD3 bispecific antibody has the potential to be employed in treatment of B7-H3-positive solid tumors.
