Provided is a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell. The bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules are particularly useful in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor. The (bispecific) antibody molecules can be used in a method for the treatment of particular diseases, wherein the (bispecific) antibody molecules are administered in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor in a specific treatment regimen.

Bispecific antibody molecules with antigen-transfected T-cells and their use in medicine

The present invention relates to a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell. The bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules are particularly useful in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor. The invention provides the use of said (bispecific) antibody molecules as a medicament, the (bispecific) antibody molecules for use in a method for the treatment of particular diseases as well as a pharmaceutical composition/medicament comprising said (bispecific) antibody molecules, wherein said (bispecific) antibody molecules are to be administered in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor in a specific treatment regimen. Further aspects of the invention are nucleic acid sequences encoding said bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules, vectors.host cells, methods for the production of the (bispecific) antibody molecule as well as a kit comprising the (bispecific) antibody molecule of the invention.
