Regulatory T cells are redirected to kill glioblastoma by an EGFRviii-targeted bispecific antibody

Abstract

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a central role in in tumor escape from immunosurveillance. We report that a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) targeting a mutated form of the epidermal growth factor receptor, i.e., EGFRvIII, potently redirects Tregs to kill glioblastoma through the granzyme-perforin pathway. © 2013 Landes Bioscience.
