TRAIL selectively kills cancer cells while bispecific antibody EpCAMxCD3 guides effector lymphocytes to cancer cells. Arming of ex vivo constructed TRAIL-lymphocytes with EpCAMxCD3 enhances contact time and affinity between lymphocytes and tumor cells and enforces tumor elimination. This boosts endogenous immune responses and augments the effect of cytotoxic tumor therapy.
