Drawn to Science: T-cell bispecific antibodies
Published on May 31, 2016 At Roche Pharma Research and Early Development, we are working on a novel form of engineered antibodies for cancer immunotherapy that we call T-cell bispecific antibodies. We consider them match-makers between T-Cells and cancer cells. With two handles, they recognize specific markers on the surface of cancer cells. A third handle is designed to hook …
How is Immunotherapy Used to Fight Cancer? | Dana-Farber Cancer Institute | Science Illustrated
Link via Dana-Farber Cancer Institute How does immunotherapy fight cancer? If you take the brakes off the immune system, you can unleash an attack on cancer cells. That’s the theory behind PD-1/PD-L1, a vitally important immunotherapy discovery illustrated in this video.
