Bispecific anti-OX40/5T4 antibodies for cancer treatment.

Abstract

OX40 and 5T4 are molecules that play a role in T-cell expansion and cytoskeleton's disruption in cancer, respectively. US2019161555 patent describes a bispecific antibody that targets OX40/5T4 with the potential application of cancer treatment. The method of analysis of the US201916155 patent consisted of claim's analysis, as well as the chemical/biological information's analysis of the bispecific antibody. The patent includes independent claims related to bispecific antibodies that bind to OX40/5T4, DNA encoding the antibodies, a vector that harbors the DNA, a host cell that contains the vector, a pharmaceutical composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of the antibodies, medical use of the antibodies, use of the antibodies in the treatment or prevention of neoplastic disorders and a method of treating neoplastic disorders. Bispecific antibodies that target OX40/5T4 can activate IL-2 secretion in CD4⁺ T cells.
