Bispecific single-chain Fv antibodies comprise four covalently linked immunoglobulin variable (V-H and V-L) domains of two different specificities connected by three linkers. When assembled in the order VHA-linker(1)-V-L(B)-linker(2)-V-H (B)-linker(3)-V-L(A), the single-chain molecule either folds head-to-tail with the formation of a diabody-like structure, a so-called bispecific single-chain diabody, or forms a homodimer that is twice as large, a so-called tandem diabody. The formation of the tandem diabody is determined by the association of complementary V-H and V-L domains located on different polypeptide chains, and depends on the length and probably the amino acid composition of the three linkers joining the variable domains. We generated a number of single-chain constructs using four V-H and V-L domains specific either for human CD3, a component of T-cell receptor (TCR) complex, or for CD19, a human B-cell antigen, separated by different rationally designed peptide linkers of 6-27 amino acid residues. The generated bispecific constructs were expressed in bacterial periplasm and their molecular forms, antigen-binding properties, stability, and T-cell proliferative and anti-tumor activities were compared. Using peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures from patients suffering from B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, we demonstrated that the tandab-mediated activation of autologous T cells and depletion of malignant cells correlates with the stability of the recombinant molecule and with the distance between the CD19 and CD3 binding sites.
