    Abstract: The invention relates to a bispecific antibody targeting TfR1 and a soluble antigen. The inventors demonstrate that the unique mode of interaction of the bispecific antibody with TfR1 increases its persistence in vivo through an FcRn-like mechanism. It has been demonstrated on MCF7 cell line that the bispecific antibody induces soluble antigen (IL6) uptake through TfR1 mediated endocytosis. Effects of the bispecific antibody on XG6 cell lines viability have been demonstrated, notably on iron and IL-6 deprivation. Hence, the inventors design an improved sweeping antibody which can specifically target tumors and inflammatory cells expressing TfR1. By its unique mode of interaction with TfR1, its ability to induce soluble uptake antigen through TfR1 mediated endocytosis and its capacity to deprive cells of iron, known for being required in tumors growth and progression and development of inflammatory pathologies, the bispecific antibody can be used in the treatment of cancer and inflammatory pathologies.
