Embodiment 1
[0216] Example 1. Generation of bispecific antibodies by hybridization of attached DNA oligos
[0217] As described in more detail below, the present invention demonstrates that conjugation of double-stranded phosphorothioated DNA oligonucleotides to antibodies enables the antibodies to penetrate cells, recognize and bind intracellular antigens. Furthermore, Applicants demonstrate that this strategy enables the generation of cell-penetrating bispecific antibodies capable of recognizing and binding two intended intracellular target proteins. For example, Applicants show that sense and antisense linking of phosphorothioated DNA oligonucleotides to anti-STAT3 and anti-NFkB (p65) antibodies allows hybridization of selected nucleic acid sequences. After the hybridization procedure is complete, the bound antibody is purified by expected increased molecular weight compared to a single IgG-antibody ( figure 1 ).

Embodiment 2
[0220] Example 2. Recognition of intracellular antigens STAT3 and NFkB(p65) by cell-penetrating bispecific antibodies
[0221] Human lymphoma Ly3 cells were incubated with single antibodies raised against STAT3 or NFkB (p65) modified with phosphorothioated single-stranded (ss) DNA oligomers to achieve recognition of intracellular targets ( figure 2 ). Since NFkB(p65) IgG is modified with phosphorothioated sense ssDNA-oligomers, and STAT3 IgG is modified with phosphorothioated antisense ssDNA-oligomers, Applicants conclude that the nucleic acid sequence is not critical for intracellular delivery. Crucially, the intracellular delivery is a prerequisite for the recognition of intracellular antigens.
[0222] However, incubation of human lymphoma Ly3 cells with bispecific anti-STAT3-anti-NFκB(p65) linked together by hybridizing phosphorothioated dsDNA oligonucleotides resulted in intracellular STAT3 protein and NFkB(p65) protein simultaneous identification.
