    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for identifying cells that express antigen-specific antibodies with a high binding affinity for a monomeric antigen. Using fluorescence activated cell sorting, cells expressing high affinity antigen-specific antibodies are selected from a population of immune cells isolated from a mammal that has been immunized with or otherwise exposed to the antigen. Nucleic acids encoding the high affinity antibodies can then be cloned into other lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells where the antibody can be expressed and from which the antibodies can be secreted.

    摘要: The present invention provides antibodies that bind to CD3 with weak or no detectable binding affinity and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind human CD3 with low affinity and induce human T cell proliferation and hence induce T cell-mediated killing of tumor cells with high efficacy. According to certain embodiments, the present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human CD3 with weak or no detectable binding affinity in an in vitro assay, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds human tumor-associated antigen. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing target antigen, such as PSMA. The antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers or other diseases where immunotherapy, i.e. effector cell immunomodulation is warranted.
