Treatment of mice bearing BCL1 lymphoma with bispecific antibodies   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Bispecific antibodies with specificity for the CD3/TCR complex of CTL and a target cell Ag can bridge both cell types and trigger cellular cytoxicity. We have produced bispecific antibodies, directed against the surface-expressed Id of the mouse BCL1 lymphoma and the mouse CD3 complex, by hybrid-hybridoma fusion. Two recombination Ig were purified to homogeneity: B1 X 7D6F, which is univalent for Id and CD3 binding and B1 X 7D6M, which is univalent for Id binding but has lost the CD3 binding because of association of the anti-CD3 H chain with the inappropriate L chain. In vitro studies indicate that bridging the TCR/CD3 complex of resting T cells with tumor IgM Id and the appropriate bispecific antibody induced proliferation and secretion of IL-2. Furthermore, in cytotoxicity assays using 51Cr-labeled tumor cells, preactivated T cells could be targeted with the bispecific antibody to give complete lysis of the Ag+ tumor. Finally, the activity of the bispecific antibody was confirmed in vivo. Animals treated i.v. with 5 micrograms of bispecific antibody 9 days after receiving BCL1 cells were cured. Furthermore, when these animals were checked at 150 days for dormant or variant tumors, as have been reported after other forms of immunotherapy in this model, none could be found. Immunotherapy experiments comparing a mixture of control antibodies with the bispecific antibody demonstrate that tumor cell-T cell bridging is established in vivo and is required for therapeutic success. These results indicate the importance of bispecific antibodies as a novel form of treatment for cancer.  相似文献

Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy in men. The prostate stem cell Ag (PSCA) is a promising target for immunotherapy of advanced disease. Based on a novel mAb directed to PSCA, we established and compared a series of murine and humanized anti-CD3-anti-PSCA single-chain bispecific Abs. Their capability to redirect T cells for killing of tumor cells was analyzed. During these studies, we identified a novel bispecific humanized Ab that efficiently retargets T cells to tumor cells in a strictly Ag-dependent manner and at femtomolar concentrations. T cell activation, cytokine release, and lysis of target cells depend on a cross-linkage of redirected T cells with tumor cells, whereas binding of the anti-CD3 domain alone does not lead to an activation or cytokine release. Interestingly, both CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells are activated in parallel and can efficiently mediate the lysis of tumor cells. However, the onset of killing via CD4(+) T cells is delayed. Furthermore, redirecting T cells via the novel humanized bispecific Abs results in a delay of tumor growth in xenografted nude mice.  相似文献

Priming to Ag can inhibit subsequent induction of an immune response to a new epitope incorporated into that Ag, a phenomenon referred to as original antigenic sin. In this study, we show that prior immunity to a virus capsid can inhibit subsequent induction of the IFN-gamma effector T cell response to a novel CD8-restricted antigenic epitope associated with the virus capsid. Inhibition does not involve Ab to the virus capsid, as it is observed in animals lacking B cells. CD8-restricted virus-specific T cell responses are not required, as priming to virus without CTL induction is associated with inhibition. However, IL-10(-/-) mice, in contrast to IL-10(+/+) mice, generate CD8 T cell and Ab responses to novel epitopes incorporated into a virus capsid, even when priming to the capsid has resulted in high titer Ab to the capsid. Furthermore, capsid-primed mice, unable to mount a response to a novel epitope in the capsid protein, are nevertheless able to respond to the same novel epitope delivered independently of the capsid. Thus, inhibition of responsiveness to a novel epitope in a virus-primed animal is a consequence of secretion of IL-10 in response to presented Ag, which inhibits local generation of new CD8 IFN-gamma-secreting effector T cells. Induction of virus- or tumor Ag-specific CD8 effector T cells in the partially Ag-primed host may thus be facilitated by local neutralization of IL-10.  相似文献

Bispecific Abs hold great potential for immunotherapy of malignant diseases. Because the first components of this new drug class are now entering clinical trials, all aspects of their mode of action should be well understood. Several studies proved that CD8(+) and CD4(+) effector T cells can be successfully redirected and activated against tumor cells by bispecific Abs both in vitro and in vivo. To our knowledge, this study provides the first evidence that bispecific Abs can also redirect and activate regulatory T cells against a surface Ag, independently of their TCR specificity. After cross-linking, via a bispecific Ab, redirected regulatory T cells upregulate the activation markers CD69 and CD25, as well as regulatory T cell-associated markers, like CTLA-4 and FOXP3. The activated regulatory T cells secrete the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10, but, in contrast to CD8(+) and CD4(+) effector T cells, almost no inflammatory cytokines. In addition, the redirected regulatory T cells are able to suppress effector functions of activated autologous CD4(+) T cells both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the potential risk for activation of regulatory T cells should be taken into consideration when bispecific Abs are applied for the treatment of malignant diseases. In contrast, an Ag/tissue-specific redirection of regulatory T cells with bispecific Abs holds great potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and graft rejection.  相似文献

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) are capable of presenting Ags to T cells in a tolerogenic or immunogenic manner depending on the formulation of the Ag and the mode of stimulation. It has not been investigated whether effective adaptive immune responses useful for vaccination can be induced by Ab-mediated Ag targeting to PDCs in vivo. In this study, we show that Ag delivered to murine PDCs via bone marrow stromal cell Ag 2 (BST2)/CD317 in combination with TLR agonists as adjuvants is specifically presented by PDCs in vivo and elicits strong cellular and humoral immune responses. These include IFN-γ production by CD4(+) T cells and high Ab titers with a broad range of IgG isotypes. In addition, BST2-mediated Ag delivery in the presence of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid as adjuvant induces cytotoxic T lymphocytes that are functional in vivo. A single immunization with Ag-fused anti-BST2 Ab together with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid as adjuvant is sufficient to trigger protective immunity against subsequent viral infection and tumor growth. We conclude that despite the potential tolerogenic properties of PDCs, Ag targeting to PDCs in combination with TLR agonists as adjuvants is an effective vaccination strategy.  相似文献

The ability to initiate and sustain CD8(+) T cell responses to tumors in vivo is hindered by the development of peripheral T cell tolerance against tumor-associated Ags. Approaches that counter the onset of T cell tolerance may preserve a pool of potentially tumor-reactive CD8(+) T cells. Administration of agonist Ab to the CD40 molecule, expressed on APCs, can enhance immunization approaches targeting T lymphocytes in an otherwise tolerance-prone environment. In this report, the effects of anti-CD40 administration on priming of naive CD8(+) T cells against an endogenous tumor Ag were investigated. Line 501 mice express the SV40 large T Ag oncoprotein as a transgene from the alpha-amylase promoter, resulting in the development of peripheral CD8(+) T cell tolerance to the H-2-D(b)-restricted immunodominant epitope I of T Ag by 6 mo of age, before the appearance of osteosarcomas. We demonstrate that naive epitope I-specific TCR transgenic (TCR-I) T cells undergo peripheral tolerance following adoptive transfer into 6-mo-old 501 mice. In contrast, administration of agonistic anti-CD40 Ab led to increased expansion of TCR-I T cells in 501 mice, the acquisition of effector function by TCR-I T cells and the establishment of T cell memory. Importantly, this enhanced priming effect of anti-CD40 administration did not require immunization and was effective even if administered after naive TCR-I T cells had encountered the endogenous T Ag. Thus, anti-CD40 administration can block the onset of peripheral tolerance and enhance the recruitment of functionally competent effector T cells toward an endogenous tumor Ag.  相似文献

The three types of IgG FcR (Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII) on human leukocytes play an important role in elimination of antibody-coated infectious agents. To further understand the role of the different Fc gamma R in mediating this killing, we examined the ability of human myeloid and lymphoid cells to kill the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii in the presence of antitoxoplasma IgG or bispecific antibodies. Although human myeloid cells (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils) all lysed unsensitized T. gondii, killing by these cells was significantly enhanced by opsonization with antitoxoplasma rabbit IgG. Human lymphocytes, however, did not lyse T. gondii unless the parasites were coated with antibody. The role of antibody and Fc gamma R in mediating ADCC of T. gondii was then examined using bispecific antibodies made by chemically cross-linking Fab fragments of antitoxoplasma antibodies to Fab fragments of antibodies specific for human leukocyte surface Ag, including Fc gamma R. Thus, simultaneous binding of these bispecifics to parasites and effector cells allowed an evaluation of killing when T. gondii were targeted to each Ag independently. Bispecifics which targeted T. gondii to Fc gamma RI, II or III enhanced lysis by monocytes. However, similar results were obtained with bispecifics targeting T. gondii to non-Fc gamma R Ag (CD11b or beta 2-microglobulin) on monocytes. Likewise, polymorphonuclear leukocytes mediated significantly more lysis in the presence of bispecifics linking T. gondii to Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII, or the two non-Fc gamma R Ag CD11b and beta 2-microglobulin. Thus, although human myeloid cells did not require antibody-Fc gamma R triggering to kill T. gondii, antibody appeared to enhance lysis by capturing and directing the parasites to the effector cell surface. Human lymphocytes, in contrast, mediated significant lysis of T. gondii only in the presence of bispecifics targeting T. gondii to Fc gamma RIII, indicating a requirement for specific triggering of Fc gamma RIII for killing by large granular lymphocytes. Consequently, using bispecifics to compare targeting to specific Ag, both non-Fc gamma R and Fc gamma R, allowed determination of the role of antibody-Fc gamma R interactions in T. gondii killing. In addition, these studies demonstrate the potential of bispecifics in determining the role of specific Ag in killing of or infection by pathogens.  相似文献

Abs to adhesion molecules can block tumor metastasis. However, they may also block the function of normal cells. To circumvent this adverse effect, we proposed the use of bispecific Abs that bind simultaneously to an adhesion receptor and to a tumor-specific Ag. Such Abs bind more avidly to tumor cells that coexpress both target Ags than to normal cells. The Id of the surface Ig of malignant B lymphocytes is a tumor-specific Ag. We therefore produced a bispecific Ab with specificity to the adhesion molecule LFA-1 and to the Id of the murine B cell lymphoma 38C-13. Here we demonstrate that this Ab blocked liver metastasis in mice carrying primary s.c. tumors and partially inhibited lymph node metastasis. Migration of 38C-13 cells to liver and lymph nodes was inhibited by the bispecific Ab, while migration to spleen was not affected. Hence, the bispecific Ab-mediated reduction in liver and lymph node metastasis resulted at least in part from reduced homing to these organs. In contrast to anti-LFA-1 monospecific Abs, the anti-Id x anti-LFA-1 bispecific Ab did not affect immune responses such as delayed-type hypersensitivity. Hence, bispecific Abs against adhesion molecules and against tumor-specific Ags may selectively block tumor metastasis in a way that may leave much of the immune system intact.  相似文献

Improvement of the strategy to target tumor Ags to dendritic cells (DCs) for immunotherapy requires the identification of the most appropriate ligand/receptor pairing. We screened a library of Ab fragments on mouse DCs to isolate new potential Abs capable of inducing protective immune responses. The screening identified a high-affinity Ab against CD36, a multi-ligand scavenger receptor primarily expressed by the CD8alpha+ subset of conventional DCs. The Ab variable regions were genetically linked to the model Ag OVA and tested in Ag presentation assays in vitro and in vivo. Anti-CD36-OVA was capable of delivering exogenous Ags to the MHC class I and MHC class II processing pathways. In vivo, immunization with anti-CD36-OVA induced robust activation of naive CD4+ and CD8+ Ag-specific T lymphocytes and the differentiation of primed CD8+ T cells into long-term effector CTLs. Vaccination with anti-CD36-OVA elicited humoral and cell-mediated protection from the growth of an Ag-specific tumor. Notably, the relative efficacy of targeting CD11c/CD8alpha+ via CD36 or DEC205 was qualitatively different. Anti-DEC205-OVA was more efficient than anti-CD36-OVA in inducing early events of naive CD8+ T cell activation. In contrast, long-term persistence of effector CTLs was stronger following immunization with anti-CD36-OVA and did not require the addition of exogenous maturation stimuli. The results identify CD36 as a novel potential target for immunotherapy and indicate that the outcome of the immune responses vary by targeting different receptors on CD8alpha+ DCs.  相似文献

Understanding both the role of tumor Ag in CD8 cell differentiation and the reasons that CD8 cells may work inefficiently is crucial for therapeutic approaches in cancer. We studied OT-1 CD8 cell responses in vivo in a differential Ag-distribution model that used EG-7, the EL-4 thymoma transfected with OVA. On their initial Ag encounter, OT-1 CD8 cells underwent programmed expansion in the lymph nodes, where they acquired the ability to migrate to the encapsulated tumor site after > or =4 divisions, without continuous antigenic stimulation. This short antigenic stimulation was sufficient to induce the migration differentiation program, which included modulation of chemokine receptor mRNA expression and down-regulation of CD62L. Moreover, Ag quantity determined the behavior of the OT-1 CD8 cells, including their effector functions and sensitivity to apoptosis. Thus, the initial Ag encounter drives the programmed cell migration potencies, but neither effector functions nor cell death can occur without continuous TCR triggering.  相似文献

There is growing interest in the development of novel single-chain bispecific antibodies for retargeting of immune effector T cells to tumor cells. Until today, functional fusion constructs consisting of a single-chain bispecific antibody and a fluorescent protein were not reported. Such molecules could be useful for an in vivo visualization of this retargeting process. Recently, we established two novel single-chain bispecific antibodies. One is capable of retargeting T cells to CD33, and the other is capable of retargeting T cells to the prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA). CD33 is an attractive immunotarget on the surface of tumor cells from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The PSCA is a potential target on prostate cancer cells. Flanking the reading frame encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) with a recently described novel helical linker element allowed us to establish novel single-chain bispecific fusion antibodies. These fluorescent fusion antibodies were useful to efficiently retarget T cells to the respective tumor cells and visualize the formation of immune synapses between effector and target cells.  相似文献

Bispecific antibodies directed against tumour associated antigens and the T cell receptor component CD3 for recruitment and tumour targeted activation of T cells represent a novel class of highly specific immunotherapeutics for cancer. We here describe the construction, eukaryotic expression and in vitro functional activity of a new T cell activating bispecific reagent, termed TTS for T cell targeting to the tumour stroma, comprised of a CD3 specific single chain antibody derivative (scFv) fused C-terminally to a 'fibroblast activation protein' (FAP) specific scFv that targets cytotoxic effector cells to FAP. FAP is highly expressed in the vascularised tumoural stroma of most lung, breast and colon carcinomas. It thus represents a selectively tumour associated, yet common marker of many solid tumours and is a potentially ideal candidate marker for efficient targeting of immune effector cells.  相似文献

We show herein that B cell Ag receptor (BCR) triggering, but not stimulation by CD40 mAb and/or IL-4, rapidly induced the coordinated expression of two closely related T cell chemoattractants, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1 beta) and MIP-1 alpha, by human B cells. Naive, memory, and germinal center B cells all produced MIP-1 alpha/beta in response to BCR triggering. In contrast to MIP-1 alpha/beta, IL-8, which is spontaneously produced by germinal center B cells but not by naive and memory B cells, was not regulated by BCR triggering. Culturing follicular dendritic cell-like HK cells with activated B cells did not regulate MIP-1 alpha/beta production, but it did induce production of IL-8 by HK cells. Microchemotaxis assays showed that CD4+CD45RO+ T cells of the effector/helper phenotype actively migrated along a chemotactic gradient formed by BCR-stimulated B cells. This effect was partially blocked by anti-MIP-1 beta and anti-CC chemokine receptor 5 Ab, but not by anti-MIP-1 alpha Ab suggesting that MIP-1 beta plays a major role in this chemoattraction. Since maturation of the B cell response to a peptide Ag is mostly dependent on the availability of T cell help, the ability of Ag-stimulated B cells to recruit T cells via MIP-1 alpha/beta, may represent one possible mechanism enabling cognate interactions between rare in vivo Ag-specific T and B cells.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated the role of the naturally occurring B cell-mediated T cell costimulation in the antitumor efficacy of the bispecific Ab BIS20x3. BIS20x3 has a dual specificity for both CD20 and CD3 and has previously been shown to effectively direct the lytic potential of cytolytic T cells toward malignant, CD20(+) B cells. BIS20x3 instigated T cell-B cell interaction caused a dose-dependent activation of T cells that was 30 times stronger when compared with T cell activation induced by monovalent anti-CD3 Abs. The activation of T cells by BIS20x3 and B cells appeared functional and resulted in the rapid induction of high lytic potential in freshly isolated peripheral T cells. BIS20x3-mediated T cell-B cell interaction resulted in a significant up-regulation of ICAM-1 on B cells and the activation of T cells was found to be dependent on the interaction of ICAM-1 with LFA-1 and trans-activation by the NF-kappaB pathway. Also, the lytic potential of freshly isolated T cells activated via BIS20x3 appeared to be dependent on NF-kappaB signaling in the target B cells. Interestingly, the costimulatory signaling effects described in this study appeared specifically related to the targeting against CD20 because targeting against CD19, by a CD3xCD19-directed bispecific Ab, was significantly less effective in inducing T cell activation and T cell-mediated B cell lysis. Together these results demonstrate that the malignant B cells actively contribute to their own demise upon CD20-directed bispecific Ab-mediated T cell targeting.  相似文献

Tumor-associated, MHC-restricted peptides, recognized by tumor-specific CD8(+) lymphocytes, are desirable targets for novel approaches in immunotherapy because of their highly restricted fine specificity. Abs that recognize these tumor-associated MHC-peptide complexes, with the same specificity as TCR, would therefore be valuable reagents for studying Ag presentation by tumor cells, for visualizing MHC-peptide complexes on cells, and eventually for developing new targeting agents for cancer immunotherapy. To generate molecules with such a unique, fine specificity, we immunized HLA-A2 transgenic mice with a single-chain HLA-A2, complexed with a common antigenic T cell HLA-A2-restricted epitope derived from the melanoma differentiation Ag gp100. Using a phage display approach, we isolated a recombinant scFv Ab that exhibits a characteristic TCR-like binding specificity, yet, unlike TCRs, it did so with a high affinity in the nanomolar range. The TCR-like Ab can recognize the native MHC-peptide complex expressed on the surface of APCs, and on peptide-pulsed or native melanoma cells. Moreover, when fused to a very potent cytotoxic effector molecule in the form of a truncated bacterial toxin, it was able to specifically kill APCs in a peptide-dependent manner. These results demonstrate the utility of high affinity TRC-like scFv recombinant Abs directed toward human cancer T cell epitopes. Such TCR-like Abs may prove to be very useful for monitoring and visualizing the expression of specific MHC-peptide complexes on the surface of tumor cells, APCs, and lymphoid tissues, as well as for developing a new family of targeting agents for immunotherapy.  相似文献

We have targeted CD22 as a novel tumor-associated Ag for recognition by human CTL genetically modified to express chimeric TCR (cTCR) recognizing this surface molecule. CD22-specific cTCR targeting different epitopes of the CD22 molecule promoted efficient lysis of target cells expressing high levels of CD22 with a maximum lytic potential that appeared to decrease as the distance of the target epitope from the target cell membrane increased. Targeting membrane-distal CD22 epitopes with cTCR(+) CTL revealed defects in both degranulation and lytic granule targeting. CD22-specific cTCR(+) CTL exhibited lower levels of maximum lysis and lower Ag sensitivity than CTL targeting CD20, which has a shorter extracellular domain than CD22. This diminished sensitivity was not a result of reduced avidity of Ag engagement, but instead reflected weaker signaling per triggered cTCR molecule when targeting membrane-distal epitopes of CD22. Both of these parameters were restored by targeting a ligand expressing the same epitope, but constructed as a truncated CD22 molecule to approximate the length of a TCR:peptide-MHC complex. The reduced sensitivity of CD22-specific cTCR(+) CTL for Ag-induced triggering of effector functions has potential therapeutic applications, because such cells selectively lysed B cell lymphoma lines expressing high levels of CD22, but demonstrated minimal activity against autologous normal B cells, which express lower levels of CD22. Thus, our results demonstrate that cTCR signal strength, and consequently Ag sensitivity, can be modulated by differential choice of target epitopes with respect to distance from the cell membrane, allowing discrimination between targets with disparate Ag density.  相似文献

We have recently demonstrated that a recombinant single-chain bispecific Ab construct, bscCD19xCD3, in vitro induces rapid B lymphoma-directed cytotoxicity at picomolar concentrations with unstimulated peripheral T cells. In this study, we show that treatment of nonobese diabetic SCID mice with submicrogram doses of bscCD19xCD3 could prevent growth of s.c. human B lymphoma xenografts and essentially cured animals when given at an early tumor stage. The effect was dose dependent, dependent on E:T ratio and the time between tumor inoculation and administration of bscCD19xCD3. No therapeutic effect was seen in the presence of human lymphocytes alone, a vehicle control, or with a bispecific single-chain construct of identical T cell-binding activity but different target specificity. In a leukemic nonobese diabetic SCID mouse model, treatment with bscCD19xCD3 prolonged survival of mice in a dose-dependent fashion. The human lymphocytes used as effector cells in both animal models did not express detectable T cell activation markers at the time of coinoculation with tumor cells. The bispecific Ab therefore showed an in vivo activity comparable to that observed in cell culture with respect to high potency and T cell costimulus independence. These properties make bscCD19xCD3 superior to previously investigated CD19 bispecific Ab-based therapies.  相似文献

CD8 T cell help for innate antitumor immunity   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Innate immunity is considered to initiate adaptive antitumor responses. We demonstrate that monoclonal CD8 T lymphocytes reactive to tumor Ag P1A on P815 mastocytoma cells provide essential "help" to NK cells for rejection of P1A-deficient tumors. RAG-deficient mice have normal NK cells but do not reject either tumor. Reconstitution of these mice with P1A-specific T cells conferred resistance to both P1A-expressing and -deficient tumor cells provided they were present at the same site. Elimination of Ag-negative tumor variants required both activated T and NK cells. Gene expression profiling of NK cells infiltrating P1A-positive tumors in mice with specific CD8 T cells demonstrated an activated effector phenotype. However, CD8 T cell help to NK cells appeared ineffective for P1A-negative variants separated from the P1A-positive tumor. Local tumor Ag-specific T cell-NK cell collaboration results in the elimination of tumor cells whether they express or not the T cell tumor Ag epitope, thus containing the emergence of tumor escape variants before metastasis.  相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that bispecific Abs (Bsab) with increased binding affinity for tumor Ags augment retargeted antitumor cytotoxicity. We report that an increase in the affinity of Bsab for the HER2/neu Ag correlates with an increase in the ability of the Bsab to promote retargeted cytotoxicity against HER2/neu-positive cell lines. A series of anti-HER2/neu extracellular domain-directed single-chain Fv fragments (scFv), ranging in affinity for HER2/neu from 10(-7) to 10(-11) M, were fused to the phage display-derived NM3E2 human scFV: NM3E2 associates with the extracellular domain of human FcgammaRIII (CD16). The resulting series of Bsab promoted cytotoxicity of SKOV3 human ovarian carcinoma cells overexpressing HER2/neu by human PBMC preparations containing CD16-positive NK cells. The affinity for HER2/neu clearly influenced the ability of the Bsab to promote cytotoxicity of (51)Cr-labeled SKOV3 cells. Lysis was 6.5% with an anti-HER2/neu K(D) = 1.7 x 10(-7) M, 14.5% with K(D) = 5.7 x 10(-9) M, and 21.3% with K(D) = 1.7 x 10(-10) M at 50:1 E:T ratios. These scFv-based Bsab did not cross-link receptors and induce leukocyte calcium mobilization in the absence of tumor cell engagement. Thus, these novel Bsab structures should not induce the dose-limiting cytokine release syndromes that have been observed in clinical trials with intact IgG BSAB: Additional manipulations in Bsab structure that improve selective tumor retention or facilitate the ability of Bsab to selectively cross-link tumor and effector cells at tumor sites should further improve the utility of this therapeutic strategy.  相似文献

Antitumor Abs are promising therapeutics for cancer. Currently, most Ab-based therapies focus on IgG Ab, which interact with IgG FcR (FcgammaR) on effector cells. In this study, we examined human and mouse neutrophil-mediated tumor cell lysis via targeting the IgA FcR, FcalphaRI (CD89), in more detail. FcalphaRI was the most effective FcR in triggering tumor cell killing, and initiated enhanced migration of neutrophils into tumor colonies. Importantly, immature neutrophils that are mobilized from the bone marrow upon G-CSF treatment efficiently triggered tumor cell lysis via FcalphaRI, but proved incapable of initiating tumor cell killing via FcgammaR. This may provide a rationale for the disappointing results observed in some earlier clinical trials in which patients were treated with G-CSF and antitumor Ab-targeting FcgammaR.  相似文献
