Definitions

  • Cancer is the second leading cause of human death next to coronary disease. Worldwide, millions of people die from cancer every year. In the United States alone, cancer causes the death of well over a half-million people each year, with some 1.4 million new cases diagnosed per year. While deaths from heart disease have been declining significantly, those resulting from cancer generally are on the rise. In the early part of the next century, cancer is predicted to become the leading cause of death.
  • Cancer is a complex disease characterized by genetic mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. Cancerous cells are present in all organisms and, under normal circumstances, their excessive growth is tightly regulated by various physiological factors.

  • Example 1 The BCMA expressing cell lines were EJM, NCI-H929, OPM2, and RPMI8226. As negative controls, two cell lines that lack BCMA expression, OVCAR8 and NCI-H510A, were also tested in the TDCC assays. A control GFP targeting trispecific protein was also used as a negative control. With the four BCMA expressing cell lines and all four T cell donors, cell viability decreased with increasing amounts of the BCMA trispecific protein but not with the GFP trispecific protein (Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 13). The EC 50 values for cell killing are provided in Table 8. The exemplary 02B05 BCMA trispecific antigen-binding protein did not direct killing of the cell lines lacking BCMA expression (Figs. 14 and 15).
