Background: Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by the overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). To efficiently engage and activate tumor infiltrating lymphocytes against NET cells, we designed a novel bispecific T-cells engager (BiTE) composed of 2 molecules of somatostatin-14 (SST14), the hormone that physiologically binds SSTRs, linked with a single chain variable fragment (scFV)-based anti-CD3.Methods: The optim...
