Abstract

The atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool to analyze forces generated on cellular interactions on the single‐cell level. This highly sensitive device can record changes in force in the pico‐Newton range, which equals single molecule bonds. Here, we have used single‐cell force spectroscopy by AFM to investigate the interaction between T cells and tumor cells that is induced by the bispecific antibody HEA125xOKT3 (specificity anti‐EpCAMxCD3). We show that HEA125xOKT3 induces a specific increase in adhesion force between T cells and cancer cells. The adhesive force that is generated on cell‐cell contact is dependent on the applied force on initial contact and the duration of this initial contact. In summary, HEA125xOKT3 has been found to mediate contact formation by distinct processes. It induces direct cell‐cell interaction, which results in the activation of T‐cell signaling, facilitates the formation of supramolecular activation clusters and ultimately of an immune synapse.

## Abstract The cure of human Hodgkin's tumors heterotransplanted into SCID mice can be achieved by two bispecific monoclonal antibodies (Bi‐mAb) directed against the tumor‐associated CD30 antigen and CD3 and CD28, respectively, and normal peripheral human blood T cells. We investigated the role of
