Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro efficacy of BiFabs. ( a ) The binding abilities of Fabs and BiFab with CD20-positive Ramos and Jurkat cells. ( b ) The in vitro efficacy of the BiFab CD20/CD3 on T cell activation. After CD20-positive B cell depletion, fresh PBMCs were treated with serial concentrations of BiFab CD20/CD3 in the presence of target tumor cells at an E:T ratio of 5:1 for 48 h. The expression levels of CD69 and CD25 on T cells, two biomarkers for T cell activation, were evaluated after immuno-staining via flow cytometry. ( c ) Evaluation of the binding abilities of BiFab Her2/CD3 with CD3-positive Jurkat cells and HER2-positive SK-OV-3 cells by flow cytometry. ( d ) The quantification of interferon-γ release from T cells activated by BiFab CD20/CD3 . Fresh PBMCs were incubated with Daudi or Raji cells at an E:T ratio for 5:1 for 48 h. The secreted interferon-γ from T cells was quantified by ELISA Kit. ( e ) BiFab CD20/CD3 mediated T cell proliferation in the presence of CD20-negative K562 cells or CD20-positive Ramos cells at an E:T ratio of 5:1 for 48 h. ( f ) After treatment with various concentrations of BiFab CD20/CD3 with an E:T ratio of 5:1 for 48 h, T cell proliferation was analyzed by flow cytometry.
Article Snippet: The human CD20-positive cell lines Ramos, Raji, Daudi and the human CD20-negative cell line K562 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, San Francisco, CA, USA), and were cultured in 1640 medium (Gibco) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco).
