SO Bone Marrow Transplant. 1995 Feb;15(2):193-8. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/95291217 AB The F(ab')2 bispecific antibody (BSAb) was prepared from anti-CD3 moAb and anti-CD10 moAb. The BSAb could react with both CD3+ T cells and CD10+ leukemia cells and triggered T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. To apply the BSAb to prevention of leukemic relapse after BMT, we investigated the generation of both CD4+ and CD8+ anti-tumor effector T cells from patient's PBMC 14 days after BMT. Neither CD4+ T cells nor CD8+ T cells, which were activated with immobilized anti-CD3 moAb plus IL-2, could lyse CD10+ leukemia cells by themselves, but they showed augmented cytotoxicity against CD10+ leukemia cells by targeting with anti-CD3 x anti-CD10 BSAb. Moreover, the activated CD4+ T cells were demonstrated to produce IL-2 and IFN-gamma when they were cultured with CD10+ leukemia cells in the presence of the BSAb. The BSAb-mediated cytotoxicity of activated T cells was demonstrated not only against the recipient leukemia cells but also against third party leukemia cells. These results suggested that anti-CD3 x anti-CD10 BSAb might be a good tool to prevent relapse after BMT in combination with activated CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells.
