A bispecific MAb was derived from the fusion of a hybridoma producing MAb CD3 with a hybridoma producing MAb L-DI (which is directed against a 41-kDa glycoprotein expressed in most gastro-intestinal and pancreatic carcinomas). Bispecific antibody molecules were isolated from parental antibody molecules by the use of hydroxylapatite-HPLC and shown to target human cytolytic T lymphocytes, irrespective of their original specificity, to specifically lyse human colon carcinoma cells. Localization studies in vivo using nude mice bearing human colon carcinoma xenografts showed significant accumulation of the HPLC-purified 125I-labelled bispecific antibodies into the tumor compared to 131I-labelled control CD3 antibody.
