Bispecific antibody (BsAb) is an engineered antibody that can bind to two specific epitopes or target proteins at the same time. It has the ability to bind two different epitopes at the same time and can play some special biological functions. For example, effector cells can be directly targeted to tumor cells to enhance their cytotoxicity, improve antibody selectivity and functionality, costimulate or inhibit receptors, avoid immune evasion mechanisms, and improve therapeutic effects. BsAb also reduces the cost of drug development and clinical trials compared with combined treatment with two monoclonal antibody drugs.

BsADCs have a novel dual-epitope/dual-target binding mode, which can not only expand the scope of drug treatment and improve tumor selectivity, but also significantly enhance the internalization effect of the drug. It is an emerging strategy for the development of a new generation of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) drugs. Currently, ten BsADCs have entered clinical trials. BsADCs have the following advantages:
In order to design effective BsADC, target selection, antibody backbone, linker and payload drug all need to be uniquely summarized. For target selection, in addition to the criteria of traditional ADCs, the promotion effect of dual targets on internalization should be explored in detail. In addition, exploration of the dual-target specificity mechanism is necessary. The selection of antibody backbone and type and the generation strategy of bispecific antibodies are also of great significance to the design of BsADC. In addition to bispecific antibodies, the linker-payload of the drug should also be optimized as a whole to facilitate the characterization of new BsADC drugs, including characteristics such as linker type, side-killing effect, and DAR value.

Leveraging its state-of-the-art technology and expertise in antibody conjugation, BOC Sciences successfully conjugated two antibodies together to create a highly potent bispecific antibody that has shown promise in preclinical studies the result of. The company is very excited about the results and is rapidly advancing further development and testing of its cancer therapy.
Bispecific antibodies are a type of antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. This allows them to target two different molecules or cells simultaneously, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect. Bispecific antibodies are being developed for a variety of applications, including cancer treatment, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. They can redirect immune cells to attack specific targets, block two different signaling pathways, or deliver drugs to specific locations in the body.
Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies produced by identical immune cells that are clones of a unique parent cell. They are specific for a single antigen and bind to a single target on a cell or molecule. Bispecific antibodies are antibodies designed to bind to two different antigens simultaneously. This allows them to target two different molecules or cells simultaneously, which can be used to direct immune cells to attack specific targets or block two different pathways simultaneously.
