mAbs have been raised that with both G250 and anti-CD3 specificity, resulting in crosslinking and G250 expressing RCC cells and T cells.
Cytotoxicity assays show that the chimeric bispecific mAb is capable of mediating cell lysis of RCC cell lines by cloned human CD8+ T cells or by IL-2 stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), and mediated lysis was effective at concentrations as low as 0.01 mg per ml.
hhere are the results of some cytotoxicity assays
using bispecific G250/anti-CD3 mAbs:
Luiten et al.: Generation of chimeric
bispecific G250/anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, a tool to combat renal cell
carcinoma. British Journal of Cancer, 74: 734-744, 1996

In
this assay the cytotoxicity of murine and chimeric bispecific G250/anti-CD3
mAbs are compared with no mAb treatment, using RCC cell line A704 targets
and human T cell clone, TIL 7.9
Chimeric
mAbs do not elecit a HAMA response as do murine mAbs.

Here's another assay using donor PBLs and only
chimeric mAbs:

bispecific G250/anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, a tool to combat renal cell
carcinoma. British Journal of Cancer, 74: 734-744, 1996

PBLs from 3 different donors
(A,B,C) were assayed in the illustrated E/T ratio's, with and without the
bispecific chimeric mAbs in wells with 2000 targets per well. The
RCC cell line A704 was used in this assay, and those wells w/mAbs were
incubated at concentrations of 1 mg per ml.
