Addition of a second T cell-binding domain to the parental CD206 BiTE. a Schematic representations of CD206-targeting TriTEs. b Western blotting analysis of supernatants from HEK293A cells transfected with TriTE expression plasmids 48 h previously. Blots were probed with a mouse anti-His primary antibody and an HRP-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody. c BiTE and TriTE binding to recombinant CD206 protein, as determined by ELISA using a mouse anti-His primary antibody and an HRP-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody. d-f T cells were cultured for 96 h with the indicated BiTEs/TriTEs at a dose of 50 nM in the presence or absence of target cells. T cell activation was assessed by measuring CD25 expression by flow cytometry, with representative histograms displayed in (d) and geometric MFI values displayed in (e). IFN-γ levels in the supernatants were quantified by ELISA (f). Data show mean ± SD of biological triplicates (c, e and f). Statistical significance was assessed by two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis, with each treatment being compared to the “Mock” condition within the relevant group (e and f) (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001)
