Abstract
A heteroconjugate (HC) antibody, constructed with the monoclonal antib ody (MoAB) Dal K29 to human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and an anti-CD3 MoAb, could induce a very high level of lysis of human RCC cells when incubated with human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in vitro (Ker r et al., 1990, J. Immunol., 144, 4060-4067). We now report that this HC antibody selectively localizes in RCC xenografts in nude mice and c ould inhibit RCC in an ascites tumor xenograft model when administered intraperitoneally together with PBL.
