About the Tribody™ format
Tribody™ molecules are multi-specific antibodies, produced by established recombinant DNA technology methods, which utilize the natural in vivo heterodimerization of Fab fragments to form a scaffold, upon which additional functionality can be incorporated. As a result Tribodies are characterized by an unsurpassed versatility; they can incorporate up to three different binding sites and can combine different functions, such as the ability to engage and redirect potent immune-effector cells like T-cells or NK-cells whilst retaining the ability to target more than one epitope in a tumor target, or more than one target in the same tumor, all in one single molecule.
