Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major pathogen causing severe neurological complications, hand, foot, and mouth disease. The intestinal mucosal immune system has a complete immune response and immune regulation mechanism, consisting of densely arranged monolayer intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) distributed among the IECs, which constitute the first line of intestinal mucosa against infection of foreign pathogens. As an enterovirus, EV71 is transmitted by the intestinal tract; however, the mechanisms it uses to evade the immunosurveillance of th...

Abstract Cancer immunotherapy with 4-1BB agonists has limited further clinical development because of dose-limiting toxicity. Here, we developed a bispecific antibody (bsAb; B7-H3×4-1BB), targeting human B7-H3 (hB7-H3) and mouse or human 4-1BB, to restrict the 4-1BB stimulation in tumors. B7-H3×m4-1BB elicited a 4-1BB–dependent antitumor response in hB7-H3–overexpressing tumor models without systemic toxicity. BsAb primarily targets CD8 T cells in the tumor and increases their proliferation and cytokine production. Among the CD8 T cell population in the tumor, 4-1BB is solely expressed ...
