In the presence of interleukin 2 (IL2), soluble anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies can stimulate highly purified normal T lymphocytes to proliferate. In these experiments HLADR' T cells constituted 13 to 20% of the total cell population, and other HLADR' cells, such as monocytes and B lymphocytes, const

✦ Synopsis
In the perspective of therapeutic in vivo targeting for T-cell attack, the monoclonal antibody (MAb) MOvI8, selected for i t s restricted reactivity with human ovarian carcinoma, and an anti-T3 MAb were used t o produce heteroconjugate or hybrid antibodies derived by fusion of relevant hybridomas. Specificity and activity of bispecific MAbs were analyzed by solid-phase RIA, immunofluorescence and a "Cr-release assay on the ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCA 432, which expresses the relevant tumor-associated antigen, and on several irrelevant tumor cell lines. Both reagents efficiently promoted, at picomolar concentration, target cell lysis by cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) clones. Although the pattern of tumor cell lines which were lysed was wider than that predicted by binding studies, further studies using a double-determinant immunoradiometric assay confirmed the specificity of MAb targeting. Analysis of reagents indicated that the hybrid MAb was superior t o the heteroaggregate as far as purification recovery and storage stability were concerned. Besides C T L clones, peripheral blood lymphocytes could also be used as cytolytic effectors, provided that a suitable in vitro activation scheme was used.
