Abstract :

Over the past few decades, bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) have become the frontline therapeutics in the oncology field. In this regard, a multitude of clinically approved therapeutics along with thousands of clinical trials evaluating various candidates for different types of malignancies. Given that cancerous tissue is heterogeneous, hence, treatment strategies should be likewise varied and target various oncogenic factors simultaneously. Herein, we tend to develop and appraise novel bispecific conjugates combining both approaches bsAbs and ICI for the treatment of many subtypes of melanoma, non-small lung cancer, and colon cancer. In this work, we set out to develop and implement a facile rebridging approach to construct novel anti-tumor-associated antigen/PDL1 bsAbs. The novel BsAb constructs were developed in good yields reaching up to 60% and fully characterized using appropriate techniques. Next, pharmacological activity is underway at both in vitro and in vivo levels. This work will spotlight an applicable and versatile rebridging approach for facile the construction of novel bsAbs.
