Bispecific antibody-mediated redirection of NKG2D-CAR natural killer cells facilitates dual targeting and enhances antitumor activity by Congcong Zhang, Anja Waldmann, Winfried S Wels, Jasmin Röder, Anne Scherer, Malena Bodden, Jordi Pfeifer Serrahima, Anita Bhatti, Nina Müller, Pranav Oberoi

“…The ability of this molecule, termed NKAB-ErbB2, to redirect NKG2D-expressing effector cells to ErbB2-positive tumor cells of different origins was investigated using peripheral blood mononuclear cells, ex vivo expanded NK cells, and NK and T cells engineered with an NKG2D-based chimeric receptor.Results On its own, bispecific NKAB-ErbB2 increased lysis of ErbB2-positive breast carcinoma cells by peripheral blood-derived NK cells endogenously expressing NKG2D more effectively than an ErbB2-specific IgG1 mini-antibody able to induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity via activation of CD16. …”

“…Whether dietary calcium intake might affect the clinical presentation of PHPT or NHPT has never been addressed consistently.ObjectiveTo describe patients with a diagnosis of NHPT or PHPT in relation to their calcium intake, through three standard validated questionnaires; to describe clinical, biochemical and radiological features of NHPT and PHPT patients compared to each other and to a control group.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingOutpatient, single academic medical center.Patients109 consecutive women recruited from February 2021 through April 2023. 54 patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT or NHPT) were age-matched with 55 unselected women undergoing bone density test screening due to recently diagnosed hormone-positive breast cancer. NHPT diagnosis was based on multiple determinations of both total and albumin-corrected serum calcium.InterventionsAdministration of all the following during routine endocrine consultation: a country-specific food-frequency questionnaire (LOC), the International Osteoporosis Foundation Calcium Calculator (IOF) and the National Osteoporosis Foundation calcium questionnaire (NOF).Main outcome measuresAny association between dietary calcium intake and clinical, radiological, or biochemical features.ResultsAll three questionnaires confirmed that NHPT patients had similar calcium intake as those with PHPT or controls. …”
