    Abstract Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells recognize and eliminate cancer cells. However, immune evasion, downregulation of immune function by the tumour microenvironment and resistance of cancer cells are major problems. Although CTL and NK cells are both important to eliminate cancer, most studies address them individually. We quantified sequential primary human CTL and NK cell cytotoxicity against the melanoma cell line SK-Mel-5. At high effector-to-target ratios, NK cells or melan-A (MART-1)-specific CTL eliminated all SK-Mel-5 cells within 24 h, indicating that SK-Mel-5 cells are not resistant initially. However, at lower effector-to-target ratios, which resemble numbers of the immune contexture in human cancer, a substantial number of SK-Mel-5 cells survived. Pre-exposure to CTL induced resistance in surviving SK-Mel-5 cells to subsequent CTL or NK cell cytotoxicity, and pre-exposure to NK cells induced resistance in surviving SK-Mel-5 cells to NK cells. Higher human leucocyte antigen class I expression or interleukin-6 levels were correlated with resistance to NK cells, whereas reduction in MART-1 antigen expression was correlated with reduced CTL cytotoxicity. The CTL cytotoxicity was rescued beyond control levels by exogenous MART-1 antigen. In contrast to the other three combinations, CTL cytotoxicity against SK-Mel-5 cells was enhanced following NK cell pre-exposure. Our assay allows quantification of sequential CTL and NK cell cytotoxicity and might guide strategies for efficient CTL-NK cell anti-melanoma therapies. KEY POINTS: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells eliminate cancer cells. Both CTL and NK cells attack the same targets, but most studies address them individually. In a sequential cytotoxicity model, the interdependence of antigen-specific CTL and NK cell cytotoxicity against melanoma is quantified. High numbers of antigen-specific CTL and NK cells eliminate all melanoma cells. However, lower numbers induce resistance if secondary CTL or NK cell exposure follows initial CTL exposure or if secondary NK cell exposure follows initial NK cell exposure. On the contrary, if secondary CTL exposure follows initial NK cell exposure, cytotoxicity is enhanced. Alterations in human leucocyte antigen class I expression and interleukin-6 levels are correlated with resistance to NK cells, whereas a reduction in antigen expression is correlated with reduced CTL cytotoxicity; CTL cytotoxicity is rescued beyond control levels by exogenous antigen. This assay and the results on interdependencies will help us to understand and optimize immune therapies against cancer.

    Abstract Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for 5%-10% of all lymphomas. The disease's genetic hallmark is the t(11; 14)(q13; q32) translocation. In younger patients, the first-line treatment is chemoimmunotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. Upon disease progression, novel and targeted agents such as the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax, or the combination of both are increasingly used, but even after allogeneic stem cell transplantation or CAR T-cell therapy, MCL remains incurable for most patients. Chronic antigenic stimulation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) is thought to be essential for the pathogenesis of many B-cell lymphomas. LRPAP1 has been identified as the autoantigenic BCR target in about 1/3 of all MCLs. Thus, LRPAP1 could be used to target MCL cells, however, there is currently no optimal therapeutic format to integrate LRPAP1. We have therefore integrated LRPAP1 into a concept termed BAR, for B-cell receptor antigens for reverse targeting. A bispecific BAR body was synthesized consisting of the lymphoma-BCR binding epitope of LRPAP1 and a single chain fragment targeting CD3 or CD16 to recruit/engage T or NK cells. In addition, a BAR body consisting of an IgG1 antibody and the lymphoma-BCR binding epitope of LRPAP1 replacing the variable regions was synthesized. Both BAR bodies mediated highly specific cytotoxic effects against MCL cells in a dose-dependent manner at 1-20 µg/mL. In conclusion, LRPAP1 can substitute variable antibody regions in different formats to function in a new therapeutic approach to treat MCL.
