Drawn to Science | T-cell bispecific antibodies

Engineered antibodies can be designed to help the body’s own defence mechanisms fight diseases. At Roche Pharma Research and Early Development, we are working on a novel form of engineered antibodies for cancer immunotherapy that we call T-cell bispecific (TCB) antibodies. We consider them matchmakers between T cells and cancer cells. With two handles, they recognise specific markers on the surface of cancer cells. A third handle is designed to hook onto T cells, bringing the TCB antibodies in close proximity to the cancer cells. The T cells are then activated to attack the cancer cells.

Not only is this immuno-therapy one of the greatest developments emerging in the fight against cancer, but this teaching video is also a true work of art in teaching about it!

I can't believe it can be this good

what is a helper cell? is it a helper t cell?

[@roche]

Helper T Cells are critical to coordinating the body's immune response. The chemical messages they secrete (cytokines) stimulate the immune response in different ways. Helper T cells have sometimes been referred to as "conductors" of the immune system because they coordinate activity like the conductor of a symphony. They have also been called the "generals" of the immune system because they call up troops of other cells to take on invading pathogens.
