Abstract: Described is a combination of at least two antibodies, characterized by the following properties: (a) it comprises at least two different multivalent antibodies, each one having at least two specificities and being characterized by features (b) and (d) or (b) and (c) as defined below, (b) an antigen-binding domain specific to a tumor antigen, (c) an antigen-binding domain specific to an antigen present on human T cells, or (d) an antigen-binding domain specific to an antigen present on CD3-epsilon negative human effector cells. Also described are polynucleotides encoding said antibodies as well as vectors comprising said polynucleotides, host cells transformed therewith and their use in the production of said antibodies. Finally, compositions, preferably pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions, are described comprising the above mentioned polynucleotides, antibodies or vectors.

Abstract: Described are multivalent multimeric antibodies comprising at least two binding sites specific for the human B cell marker CD19 and human Fc? receptor III (CD16). Also described are polynucleotides encoding said antibodies as well as vectors comprising said polynucleotides, host cells transformed therewith and their use in the production of said antibodies. Finally, compositions are described comprising any of above mentioned antibodies, polynucleotides or vectors. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful for immunotherapy, preferably against B cell malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
