Abstract

Close
- With the exception of childhood common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (cALL), treatment of other hematopoietic B cell lineage tumours such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), adult ALL and multiple myeloma (MM) is unsatisfactory. Similarly, the therapeutic outcome of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemia (AML, CML) is frequently dismal. At the same time, leukaemia/lymphoma cells represent ideal targets for immunotherapy. The present review summarizes our preclinical experience with a novel type of cytotoxic T cell based immunotherapy for B-lineage and myeloid tumours. Staphylococcal enterotoxin-derived superantigens (SAgs) are among the most potent T cell activators known, linking the T cell receptor to HLA-DR on natural target cells. SAgs were genetically engineered to reduce DR binding and were then fused to Fab parts of tumour-directed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Using these "targeted" SAgs, highly efficient lysis of B-lineage (B-NHL, B-CLL, ALL, MM) and myeloid (AML, CML) tumour cells by T-cells was achieved in vitro and in an animal model. We are entering an interesting era of innovative cancer therapy based on novel man-made biotherapeutic agents.
