Mechanism of action
From the NCI Drug Dictionary: A bispecific, humanized monoclonal antibody with potential antineoplastic activity. Anti-CD20-CD3 bispecific monoclonal antibody BTCT4465A contains two antigen-recognition sites: one for human CD3, a T-cell surface antigen, and one for human CD20, a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) that is exclusively expressed on B cells during most stages of B-cell development and is often overexpressed in B-cell malignancies. Upon administration, BTCT4465A binds to both T cells and CD20-expressing tumor B cells; this cross-links T cells to tumor cells, and may result in a potent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against CD20-expressing tumor B cells.
