Elimination of large tumors in mice by mRNA-encoded bispecific antibodies
Nature Medicine 23, 815 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4356 Authors: Christiane R Stadler, Hayat Bähr-Mahmud, Leyla Celik, Bernhard Hebich, Alexandra S Roth, René P Roth, Katalin Karikó, Özlem Türeci & Ugur Sahin The potential of bispecific T cell–engaging antibodies is hindered by manufacturing challenges and short serum half-life. We circumvented these limitations by treating mice with in vitro–transcribed pharmacologically optimized, nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the antibody. We achieved sustained endogenous synthesis of the antibody, which eliminated advanced tumors as effe...
