3.Mode of action of therapeutic bispecifific antibodies (bsAbs). (a)
Recruiting of T cells or natural killer (NK) cells to tumors is achieved
by entities that bind to tumor cell surface antigens as well as to
immune cells. Examples are TrioMabs (catumaxomab), BiTEs (blinatumomab),
DARTs, and TandAbs. (b) Interference withreceptorsignaling is achieved
by binding cell surface receptors or to their cognate ligands. BsAbs in
various formats have been developed for this mode of action,such as
DVD-Igs, DAFs, 2-in1-IgG, Tv-IgGs, and CrossMabs. (c) One exciting
‘unusual’ application of bsAbsis antibody-mediated forced assembly of
the coagulation Xase complex. A heterodimeric common light chain IgG
connects FXIa and FX and thereby overcomes FVIII deficiency.
