The isotype of epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is often identified in glioblastomas. Previously, we created a mouse monoclonal antibody, 3C10 (IgG2b), that specifically recognized EGFRvIII, and a recombinant single-chain variable fragment of 3C10. The aim of the current study was to develop genetically engineered T cells, termed T-bodies, that express a chimeric receptor consisting of the 3C10 single-chain variable fragment coupled to signaling modules such as the CD3zeta (zeta) chain, for the treatment of tumors expressing mutant EGFR. After successful construction of the chimeric 3C10/CD3 zeta T-cell receptor, its expression on the T-body was observed using western blotting and flow cytometry. The specificity of the T-body for EGFRvIII was evaluated using an interferon-gamma Elispot assay and a standard 51Cr-release cytotoxicity assay. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the systemically delivered T-body infiltrated the intrabrain tumor and significantly delayed tumor growth. These results indicate that the T-body expressing the chimeric 3C10/CD3 zeta T-cell receptor specifically recognized glioma cells expressing EGFRvIII. In conclusion, T-body-based immunotherapy appears to be a promising approach for the treatment of glioma. (Cancer Sci 2010; 101: 2518-2524).
