Abstract
CD38 is expressed on malignant plasma cells. CD28 is a costimulatory molecule required for T-cell activation and survival. Provided herein are novel anti-CD38 antibodies, anti-CD28 antibodies, and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both CD38 and CD28 and act as costimulatory agents to activate T cells via binding CD80 and/or CD86. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing CD38. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced CD38-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia.
