Single-domain antibodies, VHHs or nanobodies, represent a promising set of alternatives to conventional ther-.apeutic antibodies, gaining substantial attention in the field of cancer immunotherapy. However, inherent .drawbacks of nanobodies such as fast clearance from blood circulation and lack of immune effector functions .often led to unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. We previously reported that dinitrophenyl modification of an .anti-EGFR VHH conferred Fc-dependent immune effector functions and elongated serum half-life on it through .recruiting of hapten antibodies, resulting in improved immunotherapy efficacy in vivo. In the present work, we .further tested the versatility of this approach in the case of an anti-PD-L1 blockade VHH (KN035). Site-specific .dinitrophenyl conjugation did not impair the binding capacity of KN035 portion to PD-L1, but indirectly restored .its immune effector functions, manifested by the observed antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, .antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and complement-dependent cytotoxicity against PD-L1 positive tumor .cells. Significant delay of blood clearance of dinitrophenylated KN035 was evidenced by the prolonged half-life .of ca. 22 h. This approach, using small hapten molecule conjugation, loaded additional antibody-mediated tumor .killing mechanisms to PD-L1 blockade VHH and therefore improved efficacy is anticipated in the future in vivo .therapeutic studies. Thus, our results underscore the power of this versatile approach for achieving desirable .properties of VHH-based or similar therapeutics.
