## Abstract Endowing tumor cells with costimulatory signals for T cell activation has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor immunotherapy. Costimulatory molecules were either transfected into tumor cells to generate vaccines or were fused, __e.g.__ to antibodies against tumor‐associated antigen
## Abstract Certain bispecific antibodies exhibit an extraordinary potency and efficacy for target cell lysis by eliciting a polyclonal T‐cell response. One example is a CD19‐/CD3‐bispecific single‐chain antibody construct (bscCD19xCD3), which at femtomolar concentrations can redirect cytotoxic T c
## Abstract ## Background. The trifunctional bispecific antibody Removab (tbAB) bridges and activates CD3 positive T cells to EpCAM on carcinoma cells and simultaneously binds to an accessory immune‐cell inducing tumor cell lysis. tbAB‐induced tumor cytotoxicity was assessed in an autologous human
