Using bispecific antibodies to advance cancer immunotherapy

pharmaphorum

The more targeted, bispecific functionality of bsAbs broadens the reach of antibody-mediated therapies against both solid and haematological cancers, creating novel approaches that can induce a tumour-specific immune response, target immune checkpoints, or improve payload delivery to tumour cells (Fig.
