[Advances in research of bispecific antibodies for antivirus therapy]

With the rapid development of antibody genetic engineering, bispecific antibody technology has been advanced. They are capable of binding two or more different epitopes simultaneously, thus offering specific advantages over natural monoclonal antibodies in immunotherapy. Bispecific antibodies have been successfully used in cancer therapy (e.g. melanoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, liver cancer, and stomach cancer) and inflammation therapy (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease), but are still in their early stage for viral immunotherapy. In this study, we reviewed the research progress of bispecific antibodies for immunotherapy of virus infections, especially those with good effects in vivo and in vitro, to provide references for the research and development of bispecific antibodies for antivirus treatment.
