  • Patent number: 11571476
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-tumor/anti-tumor-associated fibroblast (TAF)/anti-hapten trispecific antibody (TsAb). The anti-hapten domain enables TsAb to arm various hapten-conjugated anti-cancer drugs (nanocarrier drugs, small molecule drugs, protein drugs, and radioactive drugs). The anti-tumor domain enables TsAb-armed drugs to target tumor cells, while the anti-TAF domain enables the TsAb-armed drugs to target TAFs. The present invention allows the simultaneous killing of tumor cells and TAFs by various drugs through arming with TsAb.
