Numerous in vitro studies have shown that T lymphocytes can be targeted towards any target cell by using bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) with specificity of the CD3/TCR complex and a target cell antigen. We have produced bsAbs directed against the membrane expressed idiotype of the murine B cell lymphomas BCLI and 38C13, and murine CD3 complex. The dual specificity of the hybrid-hybridoma produced monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) could be demonstrated by flow cytometry, the induction of T cell proliferation, the induction of IL2 secretion by polyclonal T cells, and redirected lysis of the relevant target cells. Immunotherapy of tumor bearing animals demonstrated that bsAbs could efficiently target T cells towards the tumor cells, that tumor cell--T cell bridging is established in vivo, and that both T cell subsets contribute to tumor regression resulting in long-term survival and cure of the lymphomas.
