The bsAbs generated in this study showed weaker binding properties to PD-1 and VISTA in ELISA (EC50) than the parent antibodies (atezolizumab and onvatilimab). Both the asymmetric and symmetric bsAbs resulted in higher secretion levels of IFN-γ, TNFα and Granzyme B than anti-VISTA, anti-PD-L1 monotherapy and anti-VISTA/anti-PD-L1 combination therapy. The high level of tumor cell lysis and increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by the Fc-based bsAbs suggest a novel approach for the treatment of pancreatic, endometrial and breast cancer.
We elucidate that an underappreciated function of truncated APC in CRC is its ability to drive an immunosuppressive program that boosts tumor progression. Our work could provide a new perspective for the clinical application of immunotherapy in patients with CRC resistant to ICB therapy.

We radiolabelled and validated [89Zr]Zr-Df-CI-8993 for specific binding to huVISTA in vivo. Our results demonstrate that 89Zr-labelled CI-8993 is now suitable for targeting and imaging VISTA expression in human trials.
