摘要

Available cancer immunotherapies are currently restricted to extracellular targets, while chemotherapy is the only option for intracellular targets, such as mutant KRAS. Antibodies are serum immunoglobulins, each having high binding specificity against particular antigens. Patients produce antibody responses against abnormally expressed self-proteins and neoantigens presented by the cancer cells. However, despite their infiltration into the tumor beds, many times the magnitude of the antitumor antibodies produced by spontaneously infiltrated B lymphocytes remains insufficient to control tumor growth. Recent work has established that dimeric IgA antibodies can target intracellular targets inside cancer cells expressing the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). Here, we thoroughly discuss the entire process of recombinant production of intracellular antigen-specific dimeric IgA antibodies that could be utilized for targeting oncodrivers inside tumor cells.
