Figure 5. Multivalent bi-specific nanobioconjugate engager (mBiNE) enhanced tumor cell endocytosis by macrophages.
a: Schematic illustration of mBiNE mediated macrophage endocytosis of cancer cells and immune response. b: mBiNE specifically induced phagocytosis of HER2high SK-BR-3 cells by THP-1 macrophages, which did not work in HER2low MDA-MB-468 cells. mBiNE treatment via local administration inhibited the growth of HER2high EO771/E2 tumor (c) but not in the HER2neg EO771 tumors (d) in mice. e: mBiNE induced more effective infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the HER2high EO771/E2 tumors than that in the HER2neg EO771 model.
