Cancer Type | Immunotherapy Approach | Targets/Mechanism | Study Type | Cell Lines Used | Animals Used | Technologies Used/Assays Performed | Results | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bladder cancer | Monoclonal antibodies | |||||||
(i) KMP1 mAb | KMP1 binds to CD44 and blocks its function | In vivo and in vitro | Human bladder cancer cell lines EJ, BIU-87, and T24; normal human bladder cell line HCV29; human liver cancer cell line HepG; human cervical cancer cell lines HeLa | BALB/c normal mice and nude mice | Mass spectrometry and antigen affinity to determine KMP1 mechanism; RNA interference technology to knockdown CD44 expression | Bladder cancer clinical severity and prognosis were consistent with the expression of KMP1 epitope | [130] | |
(ii) R3 mAb/ vofatamab | Inhibits proliferation and FGFR3 signaling by binding to wild-type FGFR3 and FGFR3 mutants | In vivo and in vitro | RT112, RT4, OPM2, Ba/F3, and UMUC-14 | Female nu/nu mice or CB17 SCID mice | Cell proliferation assay, FACS assay, clonal growth assay, and FACS assay | Bladder cancer development was reduced in vivo by induced shRNA knockdown of FGFR3. | [131] | |
Immune checkpoint inhibitors | ||||||||
(i) Atezolizumab | Blocks immune checkpoint PD-L1/PD-1; reduces immunosuppressive signals; increases T-cell-mediated immunity against tumors | In vivo In vivo and in vitro |
Human bladder cancer cell line pumc-91 | In comparison to historical controls treated with conventional second-line regimens, individuals with advanced bladder cancer treated with atezolizumab exhibited a significantly improved response rate and survival | [132] | |||
Bispecific antibody anti-CD3 x anti-CD155 | CD155Bi-Ab-armed ATCs secrete more IFN-γ and TNF-α, which increases cytokines and activates endogenous immune cells in vivo, inducing an immune response against tumor cells | MBT-2 cell line | Flow cytometry and ELISA | For CD155-positive bladder cancer, CD155 is a useful target. Additionally, CD155Bi-Ab-armed ATCs show promise concerning developing a novel approach to the present treatment of CD155-positive bladder cancer. | [133] | |||
BCG vaccines | Prominent infiltration of the bladder wall by immunocompetent cells and the release of cytokines into the urine | In vivo | Female C3H/HeN mice | Vaccine increased NK cell activity | [134,135] | |||
Breast cancer | Monoclonal antibodies | |||||||
Trastuzumab | Inhibits intracellular signaling by binding to the extracellular domain of the receptor | In vitro | SK-BR-3 cell line | NK cells killed trastuzumab-coated erbB2-overexpressing cells through an ADCC mechanism mediated by the FcRIII receptor (CD16) | [136] | |||
Lung cancer | Monoclonal antibodies | |||||||
Cetuximab | Binds to the extracellular domain of EGFR and blocks EGFR-mediated signal transduction | In vitro | LK-1, EBC-1, A549, LK87, Lu99, N417, Ms1, and LU65; epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431) | Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry | A correlation was observed between EGFR molecules on the cell, exerting cytotoxicity against lung cancer cell lines. | [137] | ||
Monoclonal antibodies | ||||||||
Prostate cancer | BLCA-38 | In patients with prostate cancer, the BLCA-38 antibody binds primarily to prostate cancer cells but not to normal cells and may be useful in targeting novel therapies | In vivo and In vitro | PZ-HPV-7 prostate cells; LNCaP, DU145, and PC-3; LNCaP-C4 and LNCaP-C4–2; LNCaP-LN3, PC3-M, and PC3-M-MM2; MDA PCa 2a and MDA PCa 2b; LAPC4 cells. | Male 6–8-week-old athymic nude mice, BALB/c (nu/ nu) | Flow cytometry | Prostate cancer lines PC-3, PC-3 M, PC-3 M-MM2, and DU-145 all expressed cell surface BLCA-38 antigen, whereas LNCaP, MDA PCa 2a, and MDA PCa 2b did not. | [138] |
