Description

Bispecific antibody targeting B7H3 and 4-1BB and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of tumor treatment and biological medicine, in particular to a bispecific antibody targeting B7H3 and 4-1BB and application thereof.
Background
Bispecific antibodies (BsAb) are also called bifunctional antibodies, and can simultaneously recognize and bind two different antigens or epitopes compared with the common antibodies which can only bind to a single target, can play a certain special biological function, even is better than the synergistic effect of the combination of the two monoclonal antibodies, so that the bispecific antibodies are increasingly one of the new hot spots for antibody drug research.
B7-H3 (CD 276/B7 RP-2), a member of the B7 ligand family (PD-L1 also belongs to this family), is overexpressed in most cancer types, but is expressed at low levels in normal tissues. B7-H3 inhibits tumor antigen-specific immune responses in malignant tissues to promote tumor growth. B7-H3 also has non-immunogenic functions such as promoting migration and invasion, angiogenesis, chemotherapy resistance, endothelial cell transformation into mesenchymal cells and affecting tumor cell metabolism. The expression of B7-H3 in tumors is related to poor prognosis, and more people are focusing on the application value of the target in tumor immunotherapy.
Costimulatory molecule 4-1BB belongs to an important member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, and is a costimulatory signal that mediates T cell activation. The 4-1BB mediated co-stimulatory signal can enhance T cell function, and enhance T cell monitoring of tumor cells and immune defense of viral infection. Modulation of lymphocyte immune function by intervention of the 4-1BB pathway is likely to be a new immunotherapeutic pathway.

The term "isolated" or "separated" does not exclude the presence of substances mixed with artificial or synthetic substances, nor the presence of other impurities which do not affect the activity of the substances.
As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid vehicle into which a polynucleotide may be inserted. When a vector enables expression of a protein encoded by an inserted polynucleotide, the vector is referred to as an expression vector.
