Bifunctional molecule and use thereof

Abstract

This disclosure belongs to the field of biomedical technology, and particularly refers to a bifunctional molecule and the application thereof. The structure of the bifunctional molecule includes a first functional domain and a second functional domain. These domains are capable of simultaneously binding to T cells, thereby producing the first and second signals required for T cell activation. The bifunctional molecule is a recombinant protein-peptide, which can be produced by a eukaryotic cell expression system. The product has a single structure, simple purification process, high protein yield, and stable preparation process and product. The bifunctional molecule is superior to the current techniques in expanding T cells in vitro with lower protein dosage and simpler use procedure. It can be directly supplemented as soluble form without optimizing the relative ratio of full-length antibodies.
