BiTE and ADCs for cancer therapy

This Journal of Hematology & Oncology series covers bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTE) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for cancer therapy. The series, which is no longer open for submissions, will include reviews, editorials, and first in-human clinical trial papers.


  2. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells and BiTEs are both immunotherapies which redirect T cell specificity against a tumor-specific antigen through the use of antibody fragments. They demonstrated r...
