Anti-CD3 antibodies and methods of use

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

BACKGROUND

Cell proliferative disorders, such as cancer, are characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cell subpopulations. They are the leading cause of death in the developed world and the second leading cause of death in developing countries, with over 12 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 7 million cancer deaths occurring each year. The National Cancer Institute estimates that greater than half a million Americans will die of cancer in 2013, accounting for nearly one out of every four deaths in the country. As the elderly population has grown, the incidence of cancer has concurrently risen, as the probability of developing cancer is more than two-fold higher after the age of seventy. Cancer care thus represents a significant and ever-increasing societal burden.

Longstanding approaches to cancer treatment include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery to remove solid tumors. Recently, bispecific antibody-based immunotherapies have been developed. Such bispecific antibodies are capable of simultaneously binding cell surface antigens on cytotoxic cells and tumor cells, with the intent that the bound cytotoxic cell will destroy the bound tumor cell. Existing bispecific antibodies currently undergoing clinical trials for treating cancer are limited by their short half-lives and/or variable efficacy. Thus, there is an unmet need in the field for the development of effective bispecific antibodies for use in cancer treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
I. Definitions

The term “about” as used herein refers to the usual error range for the respective value readily known to the skilled person in this technical field. Reference to “about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se.

An “acceptor human framework” for the purposes herein is a framework comprising the amino acid sequence of a light chain variable domain (VL) framework or a heavy chain variable domain (VH) framework derived from a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework, as defined below. An acceptor human framework “derived from” a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework may comprise the same amino acid sequence thereof, or it may contain amino acid sequence changes. In some embodiments, the number of amino acid changes are 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less. In some embodiments, the VL acceptor human framework is identical in sequence to the VL human immunoglobulin framework sequence or human consensus framework sequence.

“Affinity” refers to the strength of the sum total of noncovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (Kd). Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Specific illustrative and exemplary embodiments for measuring binding affinity are described in the following.

An “affinity matured” antibody refers to an antibody with one or more alterations in one or more hypervariable regions (HVRs), compared to a parent antibody which does not possess such alterations, such alterations resulting in an improvement in the affinity of the antibody for antigen.

The terms “anti-CD3 antibody” and “an antibody that binds to CD3” refer to an antibody that is capable of binding CD3 with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent in targeting CD3. In one embodiment, the extent of binding of an anti-CD3 antibody to an unrelated, non-CD3 protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to CD3 as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain embodiments, an antibody that binds to CD3 has a dissociation constant (Kd) of ≤1 μM, ≤100 nM, ≤10 nM, ≤1 nM, ≤0.1 nM, ≤0.01 nM, or ≤0.001 nM (e.g. 10⁻⁸M or less, e.g. from 10⁻⁸M to 10⁻¹³M, e.g., from 10⁻⁸M to 10⁻¹³M). In certain embodiments, an anti-CD3 antibody binds to an epitope of CD3 that is conserved among CD3 from different species.

The term “antibody” herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.

An “antibody fragment” refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab′, Fab′-SH, F(ab′)₂; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g. scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

By “binding domain” is meant a part of a compound or a molecule that specifically binds to a target epitope, antigen, ligand, or receptor. Binding domains include but are not limited to antibodies (e.g., monoclonal, polyclonal, recombinant, humanized, and chimeric antibodies), antibody fragments or portions thereof (e.g., Fab fragments, Fab′2, scFv antibodies, SMIP, domain antibodies, diabodies, minibodies, scFv-Fc, affibodies, nanobodies, and VH and/or VL domains of antibodies), receptors, ligands, aptamers, and other molecules having an identified binding partner.

“Tumor,” as used herein, refers to all neoplastic cell growth and proliferation, whether malignant or benign, and all pre-cancerous and cancerous cells and tissues. The terms “cancer”, “cancerous”, “cell proliferative disorder”, “proliferative disorder” and “tumor” are not mutually exclusive as referred to herein.

The term “tumor antigen,” as used herein, may be understood as those antigens that are presented on tumor cells. These antigens can be presented on the cell surface with an extracellular part, which is often combined with a transmembrane and cytoplasmic part of the molecule. These antigens can sometimes be presented only by tumor cells and never by the normal ones. Tumor antigens can be exclusively expressed on tumor cells or might represent a tumor specific mutation compared to normal cells, in this case, they are called tumor-specific antigens. More common are tumor antigens that are presented by tumor cells and normal cells, and they are called tumor-associated antigens. These tumor-associated antigens can be overexpressed compared to normal cells or are accessible for antibody binding in tumor cells due to the less compact structure of the tumor tissue compared to normal tissue. In one aspect the tumor antigen is selected from those set forth in Table 1 below.

“Effector functions” refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody, which vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include: C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis; down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor); and B cell activation.

An “effective amount” of a compound, for example, an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention or a composition (e.g., pharmaceutical composition) thereof, is at least the minimum amount required to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic result, such as a measurable improvement or prevention of a particular disorder (e.g., a cell proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer). An effective amount herein may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the patient, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the treatment are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include clinical results such as decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival. In the case of cancer or tumor, an effective amount of the drug may have the effect in reducing the number of cancer cells; reducing the tumor size; inhibiting (i.e., slow to some extent or desirably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and desirably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibiting to some extent tumor growth; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this invention, an effective amount of drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. As is understood in the clinical context, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an “effective amount” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.

The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one embodiment, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-terminus of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may or may not be present. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991.

“Framework” or “FR” refers to variable domain residues other than hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain generally consists of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Accordingly, the HVR and FR sequences generally appear in the following sequence in VH (or VL): FR1-H1(L1)-FR2-H2(L2)-FR3-H3(L3)-FR4.

The terms “full-length antibody,” “intact antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure or having heavy chains that contain an Fc region as defined herein.

A “growth inhibitory agent” when used herein refers to a compound or composition which inhibits growth of a cell either in vitro or in vivo. In one embodiment, growth inhibitory agent is growth inhibitory antibody that prevents or reduces proliferation of a cell expressing an antigen to which the antibody binds. In another embodiment, the growth inhibitory agent may be one which significantly reduces the percentage of cells in S phase. Examples of growth inhibitory agents include agents that block cell cycle progression (at a place other than S phase), such as agents that induce G1 arrest and M-phase arrest. Classical M-phase blockers include the vincas (vincristine and vinblastine), taxanes, and topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, etoposide, and bleomycin. Those agents that arrest G1 also spill over into S-phase arrest, for example, DNA alkylating agents such as tamoxifen, prednisone, dacarbazine, mechlorethamine, cisplatin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and ara-C. Further information can be found in Mendelsohn and Israel, eds., The Molecular Basis of Cancer, Chapter 1, entitled “Cell cycle regulation, oncogenes, and antineoplastic drugs” by Murakami et al. (W. B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 1995), e.g., p. 13. The taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are anticancer drugs both derived from the yew tree. Docetaxel (TAXOTERE®, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer), derived from the European yew, is a semisynthetic analogue of paclitaxel (TAXOL®, Bristol-Myers Squibb). Paclitaxel and docetaxel promote the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilize microtubules by preventing depolymerization, which results in the inhibition of mitosis in cells.

The term “HER2-positive” cancer comprises cancer cells which have higher than normal levels of HER2. Examples of HER2-positive cancer include HER2-positive breast cancer and HER2-positive gastric cancer. Optionally, HER2-positive cancer has an immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 2+ or 3+ and/or an in situ hybridization (ISH) amplification ratio 2.0.

The terms “host cell,” “host cell line,” and “host cell culture” are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include “transformants” and “transformed cells,” which include the primary transformed cell and progeny derived therefrom without regard to the number of passages. Progeny may not be completely identical in nucleic acid content to a parent cell, but may contain mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened or selected for in the originally transformed cell are included herein.

A “human antibody” is one which possesses an amino acid sequence which corresponds to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell or derived from a non-human source that utilizes human antibody repertoires or other human antibody-encoding sequences. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage-display libraries. Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227:381 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581 (1991). Also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies are methods described in Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985); Boerner et al., J. Immunol., 147(1):86-95 (1991). See also van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol., 5: 368-74 (2001). Human antibodies can be prepared by administering the antigen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce such antibodies in response to antigenic challenge, but whose endogenous loci have been disabled, e.g., immunized xenomice (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 regarding XENOMOUSE™ technology). See also, for example, Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006) regarding human antibodies generated via a human B-cell hybridoma technology.

A “human consensus framework” is a framework which represents the most commonly occurring amino acid residues in a selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework sequences. Generally, the selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH sequences is from a subgroup of variable domain sequences. Generally, the subgroup of sequences is a subgroup as in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242, Bethesda Md. (1991), vols. 1-3. In one embodiment, for the VL, the subgroup is subgroup kappa I as in Kabat et al., supra. In one embodiment, for the VH, the subgroup is subgroup III as in Kabat et al., supra.

A “humanized” antibody refers to a chimeric antibody comprising amino acid residues from non-human HVRs and amino acid residues from human FRs. In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the HVRs (e.g., CDRs) correspond to those of a non-human antibody, and all or substantially all of the FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody optionally may comprise at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. A “humanized form” of an antibody, e.g., a non-human antibody, refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization.

The term “hypervariable region” or “HVR” as used herein refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence (“complementarity determining regions” or “CDRs”) and/or form structurally defined loops (“hypervariable loops”) and/or contain the antigen-contacting residues (“antigen contacts”). Generally, antibodies comprise six HVRs: three in the VH (H1, H2, H3), and three in the VL (L1, L2, L3). Exemplary HVRs herein include:

(a) hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), 91-96 (L3), 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987));

(b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31-35b (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991));

(c) antigen contacts occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996)); and

(d) combinations of (a), (b), and/or (c), including HVR amino acid residues 46-56 (L2), 47-56 (L2), 48-56 (L2), 49-56 (L2), 26-35 (H1), 26-35b (H1), 49-65 (H2), 93-102 (H3), and 94-102 (H3).

Unless otherwise indicated, HVR residues and other residues in the variable domain (e.g., FR residues) are numbered herein according to Kabat et al., supra.

An “immunoconjugate” is an antibody conjugated to one or more heterologous molecule(s), including but not limited to a cytotoxic agent.

A “subject” or an “individual” is a mammal. Mammals include, but are not limited to, domesticated animals (e.g., cows, sheep, cats, dogs, and horses), primates (e.g., humans and non-human primates such as monkeys), rabbits, and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). In certain embodiments, the subject or individual is a human.

An “isolated” antibody is one which has been separated from a component of its natural environment. In some embodiments, an antibody is purified to greater than 95% or 99% purity as determined by, for example, electrophoretic (e.g., SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis) or chromatographic (e.g., ion exchange or reverse phase HPLC). For review of methods for assessment of antibody purity, see, e.g., Flatman et al., J. Chromatogr. B 848:79-87 (2007).

An “isolated” nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid molecule that has been separated from a component of its natural environment. An isolated nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid molecule contained in cells that ordinarily contain the nucleic acid molecule, but the nucleic acid molecule is present extrachromosomally or at a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location.

“Isolated nucleic acid encoding an anti-CD3 antibody” refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding antibody heavy and light chains (or fragments thereof), including such nucleic acid molecule(s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and such nucleic acid molecule(s) present at one or more locations in a host cell.

The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, such methods and other exemplary methods for making monoclonal antibodies being described herein.

A “naked antibody” refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety) or radiolabel. The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical formulation.

“Native antibodies” refer to naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecules with varying structures. For example, native IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From N- to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain or a heavy chain variable domain, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from N- to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain or a light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light (CL) domain. The light chain of an antibody may be assigned to one of two types, called kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain.

The term “package insert” is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packages of therapeutic products, that contain information about the indications, usage, dosage, administration, combination therapy, contraindications and/or warnings concerning the use of such therapeutic products.

The term “PD-1 axis binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that inhibits the interaction of a PD-1 axis binding partner with either one or more of its binding partner, so as to remove T-cell dysfunction resulting from signaling on the PD-1 signaling axis—with a result being to restore or enhance T-cell function (e.g., proliferation, cytokine production, target cell killing). As used herein, a PD-1 axis binding antagonist includes a PD-1 binding antagonist, a PD-L1 binding antagonist and a PD-L2 binding antagonist.

The term “PD-1 binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that decreases, blocks, inhibits, abrogates or interferes with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-L1, PD-L2. In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-1 to one or more of its binding partners. In a specific aspect, the PD-1 binding antagonist inhibits the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. For example, PD-1 binding antagonists include anti-PD-1 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that decrease, block, inhibit, abrogate or interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. In one embodiment, a PD-1 binding antagonist reduces the negative co-stimulatory signal mediated by or through cell surface proteins expressed on T lymphocytes mediated signaling through PD-1 so as render a dysfunctional T-cell less dysfunctional (e.g., enhancing effector responses to antigen recognition). In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-1 antibody. In a specific aspect, a PD-1 binding antagonist is MDX-1106 (nivolumab) described herein. In another specific aspect, a PD-1 binding antagonist is MK-3475 (lambrolizumab) described herein. In another specific aspect, a PD-1 binding antagonist is CT-011 (pidilizumab) described herein.

The term “protein,” as used herein, refers to any native protein from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g. humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. The term encompasses “full-length,” unprocessed protein as well as any form of the protein that results from processing in the cell. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of the protein, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. Proteins according to the invention include, for example, any protein listed in Table 1.

“Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc., and the source code has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif., or may be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, including digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.

In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:

100 times the fraction X/Y

where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.

The term “pharmaceutical formulation” refers to a preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of an active ingredient contained therein to be effective, and which contains no additional components which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the formulation would be administered.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, a buffer, excipient, stabilizer, or preservative.

As used herein, “treatment” (and grammatical variations thereof such as “treat” or “treating”) refers to clinical intervention in an attempt to alter the natural course of the individual being treated, and can be performed either for prophylaxis or during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include, but are not limited to, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. In some embodiments, antibodies of the invention are used to delay development of a disease or to slow the progression of a disease.

As used herein, “delaying progression” of a disorder or disease means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease or disorder (e.g., a cell proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer). This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, a late stage cancer, such as development of metastasis, may be delayed.

By “reduce” or “inhibit” is meant the ability to cause an overall decrease, for example, of 20% or greater, of 50% or greater, or of 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or greater. In certain embodiments, reduce or inhibit can refer to the effector function of an antibody that is mediated by the antibody Fc region, such effector functions specifically including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).

The term “variable region” or “variable domain” refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to antigen. The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain (VH and VL, respectively) of a native antibody generally have similar structures, with each domain comprising four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three hypervariable regions (HVRs). (See, e.g., Kindt et al. Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co., page 91 (2007).) A single VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind a particular antigen may be isolated using a VH or VL domain from an antibody that binds the antigen to screen a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively. See, e.g., Portolano et al., J. Immunol. 150:880-887 (1993); Clarkson et al., Nature 352:624-628 (1991).

The term “vector,” as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of propagating another nucleic acid to which it is linked. The term includes the vector as a self-replicating nucleic acid structure as well as the vector incorporated into the genome of a host cell into which it has been introduced. Certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of nucleic acids to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as “expression vectors.”

As used herein, “administering” is meant a method of giving a dosage of a compound (e.g., an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention or a nucleic acid encoding an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention) or a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition, e.g., a pharmaceutical composition including an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention) to a subject. The compositions utilized in the methods described herein can be administered, for example, intramuscularly, intravenously, intradermally, percutaneously, intraarterially, intraperitoneally, intralesionally, intracranially, intraarticularly, intraprostatically, intrapleurally, intratracheally, intranasally, intravitreally, intravaginally, intrarectally, topically, intratumorally, peritoneally, subcutaneously, subconjunctivally, intravesicularlly, mucosally, intrapericardially, intraumbilically, intraocularly, orally, topically, locally, by inhalation, by injection, by infusion, by continuous infusion, by localized perfusion bathing target cells directly, by catheter, by lavage, in cremes, or in lipid compositions. The method of administration can vary depending on various factors (e.g., the compound or composition being administered and the severity of the condition, disease, or disorder being treated).

II. Compositions and Methods

In one aspect, the invention is based, in part, on anti-CD3 antibodies. In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies are multispecific (e.g., bispecific) and bind, in addition to CD3 or a fragment thereof, a second biological molecule (e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen). Antibodies of the invention are useful, for example, for treating or delaying the progression of a cell proliferative disorder (e.g., cancer) or an autoimmune disorder, or for enhancing immune function in a subject having such a disorder.

A. Exemplary Anti-CD3 Antibodies

In one aspect, the invention provides isolated antibodies that bind to CD3 (e.g., CD3ε and/or CD3γ).

In some instances, the anti-CD3 antibody may have a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence having at least at least 90% sequence identity (e.g., at least 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity) to, or the sequence of, SEQ ID NO: 230 and/or a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity (e.g., at least 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity) to, or the sequence of, SEQ ID NO: 231. In a particular instance, the anti-CD3 antibody can be 30A1, or a derivative or clonal relative thereof.

In any of the above embodiments, an anti-CD3 antibody is humanized. In one embodiment, an anti-CD3 antibody comprises HVRs as in any of the above embodiments, and further comprises an acceptor human framework, e.g., a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework.

In another aspect, an anti-CD3 antibody is provided, wherein the antibody comprises a VH as in any of the embodiments provided above, and a VL as in any of the embodiments provided above, wherein one or both of the variable domain sequences include post-translational modifications.

In a further aspect, the invention provides an antibody that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody provided herein. For example, in certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody comprising a VH sequence of SEQ ID NO: 184 and a VL sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to an epitope within a fragment of CD3 (e.g., human CD3ε) consisting of amino acids 1-26 (SEQ ID NO: 283) or 1-27 (SEQ ID NO: 278) of human CD3ε.

In another aspect, the invention provides an antibody that binds a unique CD3 epitope. In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody of the invention makes unique contacts with amino acids of human CD3ε at a distance of 3.5 Angstroms, 3.25 Angstroms, 3.00 Angstroms, 2.75 Angstroms, or less. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to an epitope consisting of one, two, three, four, or five amino acids of human CD3ε at a distance of 3.5 Angstroms, 3.25 Angstroms, 3.00 Angstroms, 2.75 Angstroms or less. In one embodiment, the anti-CD3 antibody of the invention makes unique contacts with amino acids of human CD3ε at a distance of 3.5 Angstroms or less. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to an epitope consisting of one, two, three, four, or five amino acids of human CD3ε at a distance of 3.5 Angstroms or less. For example, in certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to an epitope consisting of amino acids of human CD3ε selected from Gln1, Asp2, Asn4, Glu6, and Met7. In one particular embodiment, the anti-CD3 antibody binds to an epitope that specifically includes Glu6. In certain other embodiments, an antibody is provided that does not bind to an epitope that includes human CD3ε amino acid Glu5. In certain other embodiments, an antibody is provided that does not bind to an epitope that includes human CD3ε amino acids Gly3 and Glu5.

An anti-CD3 epitope may be determined by anti-CD3 antibody binding to peptide fragments of the epitope. Alternatively, an anti-CD3 epitope may be determined by alanine scanning mutagenesis. In one embodiment, a reduction in binding of an anti-CD3 antibody to mutated CD3 by 20%, 30%, 50%, 80% or more indicates the amino acid residue of CD3 mutated in an alanine scanning mutagenesis assay is an epitope residue for that anti-CD3 antibody. Alternatively, an anti-CD3 epitope may be determined by mass spectrometry. In some embodiments, the epitope is determined by crystallography (e.g., crystallography methods described in the Examples).

In some embodiments, the epitope as determined by crystallography is determined using amino acids Q1-M7 of CD3. In some embodiments, the epitope as determined by crystallography is determined using amino acids QDGNEEMGGITQTPYK (SEQ ID NO: 284) of CD3.

In some embodiments, the epitope as determined by crystallography may be performed by combining the anti-CD3 antibody Fab, dissolved in 0.15 M NaCl, 25 mM tris, pH 7.5 at 10 mg/ml, with a 2-fold molar excess (1 mg) of CD3ε peptide and initially screening a sparse matrix of precipitants in a sitting drop vapor diffusion format. Optimized crystals may be grown from a 1:1 mixture with reservoir solution containing 70% v/v methyl-pentanediol, and 0.1 M HEPES buffer at pH 7.5. The reservoir may be used as a cryoprotectant. The crystals may be transferred to cryogenic temperature by sudden immersion into liquid nitrogen.

The diffraction data for crystals may be collected at Advanced Photon Source beam line 221D, using a MAR300 CCD detector. The recorded diffractions may be integrated and scaled using the program HKL2000.

The structure may be phased by molecular replacement (MR) method using program Phaser. For example, the MR search model is a Fab subunit derived from a crystal structure of HGFA/Fab complex (PDB code: 2R0L). The CD3ε peptide is built into the structure based on a Fo-Fc map. The structure may be subsequently refined with programs REFMACS and PHENIX using the maximum likelihood target functions, anisotropic individual B-factor refinement method, and TLS refinement method, to achieve convergence.

In certain other embodiments, an antibody is provided that includes a paratope that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody provided herein. For example, in certain embodiments an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope comprising amino acids that form contacts at a distance of 3.5 Angstroms or less. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope consisting of amino acids of the VH region of an anti-CD3 antibody selected from the group comprising 33Tyr, 35His, 50Trp, 97Tyr, and 98Ser. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope consisting of one, two, three, four, or five amino acids of the VH region of an anti-CD3 antibody selected from the group comprising 33Tyr, 35His, 50Trp, 97Tyr, and 98Ser. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope consisting of amino acids of the VL region of an anti-CD3 antibody selected from the group comprising 27Arg, 27Asn, 30Lys, 32Tyr, 92Phe, 94Leu, and 96Arg. In certain embodiments, an antibody is provided that binds to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope consisting of one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven amino acids of the VL region of an anti-CD3 antibody selected from the group comprising 27Arg, 27Asn, 30Lys, 32Tyr, 92Phe, 94Leu, and 96Arg. In an optional embodiment, an antibody is provided that does not bind to the same epitope as an anti-CD3 antibody paratope consisting of amino acids of the VL region comprising 91 Ser. In a further aspect of the invention, an anti-CD3 antibody according to any of the above embodiments is a monoclonal antibody, comprising a chimeric, humanized, or human antibody. In one embodiment, an anti-CD3 antibody is an antibody fragment, for example, a Fv, Fab, Fab′, scFv, diabody, or F(ab′)2 fragment. In another embodiment, the antibody is a full length antibody, e.g., an intact IgG antibody (e.g., an intact IgG1 antibody) or other antibody class or isotype as defined herein.

In a further aspect, an anti-CD3 antibody according to any of the above embodiments may incorporate any of the features, singly or in combination, as described in Sections 1-7 below.

1. Antibody Affinity

In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein has a dissociation constant (Kd) of ≤1 μM, ≤100 nM, ≤10 nM, ≤1 nM, ≤0.1 nM, ≤0.01 nM, or ≤0.001 nM (e.g., 10⁻⁸M or less, e.g., from 10⁻⁸M to 10⁻¹³M, e.g., from 10⁻⁹M to 10⁻¹³M).

In one embodiment, Kd is measured by a radiolabeled antigen binding assay (RIA). In one embodiment, an RIA is performed with the Fab version of an antibody of interest and its antigen. For example, solution binding affinity of Fabs for antigen is measured by equilibrating Fab with a minimal concentration of (¹²⁵I)-labeled antigen in the presence of a titration series of unlabeled antigen, then capturing bound antigen with an anti-Fab antibody-coated plate (see, e.g., Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881(1999)). To establish conditions for the assay, MICROTITER® multi-well plates (Thermo Scientific) are coated overnight with 5 μg/ml of a capturing anti-Fab antibody (Cappel Labs) in 50 mM sodium carbonate (pH 9.6), and subsequently blocked with 2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in PBS for two to five hours at room temperature (approximately 23° C.). In a non-adsorbent plate (Nunc #269620), 100 pM or 26 pM [¹²⁵I]-antigen are mixed with serial dilutions of a Fab of interest (e.g., consistent with assessment of the anti-VEGF antibody, Fab-12, in Presta et al., Cancer Res. 57:4593-4599 (1997)). The Fab of interest is then incubated overnight; however, the incubation may continue for a longer period (e.g., about 65 hours) to ensure that equilibrium is reached. Thereafter, the mixtures are transferred to the capture plate for incubation at room temperature (e.g., for one hour). The solution is then removed and the plate washed eight times with 0.1% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20®) in PBS. When the plates have dried, 150 μl/well of scintillant (MICROSCINT-20™; Packard) is added, and the plates are counted on a TOPCOUNT™ gamma counter (Packard) for ten minutes. Concentrations of each Fab that give less than or equal to 20% of maximal binding are chosen for use in competitive binding assays.

According to another embodiment, Kd is measured using a BIACORE® surface plasmon resonance assay. For example, an assay using a BIACORE®-2000 or a BIACORE®-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.) is performed at 25° C. with immobilized antigen CM5 chips at ˜10 response units (RU). In one embodiment, carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chips (CM5, BIACORE, Inc.) are activated with N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. Antigen is diluted with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8, to 5 μg/ml (˜0.2 μM) before injection at a flow rate of 5 μl/minute to achieve approximately 10 response units (RU) of coupled protein. Following the injection of antigen, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block unreacted groups. For kinetics measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected in PBS with 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20™) surfactant (PBST) at 25° C. at a flow rate of approximately 25 μl/min. Association rates (k_on) and dissociation rates (k_off) are calculated using a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE® Evaluation Software version 3.2) by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensorgrams. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is calculated as the ratio k_on/ko_ff. See, for example, Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881 (1999). If the on-rate exceeds 10⁶M⁻¹s⁻¹by the surface plasmon resonance assay above, then the on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescent quenching technique that measures the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation=295 nm; emission=340 nm, 16 nm band-pass) at 25° C. of a 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS, pH 7.2, in the presence of increasing concentrations of antigen as measured in a spectrometer, such as a stop-flow equipped spectrophometer (Aviv Instruments) or a 8000-series SLM-AMINCO™ spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) with a stirred cuvette.

2. Antibody Fragments

In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is an antibody fragment. Antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, Fab′-SH, F(ab′)2, Fv, and scFv fragments, and other fragments described below. For a review of certain antibody fragments, see Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134 (2003). For a review of scFv fragments, see, e.g., Pluckthün, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., (Springer-Verlag, New York), pp. 269-315 (1994); see also WO 93/16185; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,571,894 and 5,587,458. For discussion of Fab and F(ab′)2 fragments comprising salvage receptor binding epitope residues and having increased in vivo half-life, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,869,046.

Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites that may be bivalent or bispecific. See, for example, EP 404,097; WO 1993/01161; Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134 (2003); and Hollinger et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 6444-6448 (1993). Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134 (2003).

Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments comprising all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, a single-domain antibody is a human single-domain antibody (Domantis, Inc., Waltham, Mass.; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,516 B1).

Antibody fragments can be made by various techniques, including but not limited to proteolytic digestion of an intact antibody as well as production by recombinant host cells (e.g. E. coli or phage), as described herein.

3. Chimeric and Humanized Antibodies

In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a chimeric antibody. Certain chimeric antibodies are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). In one example, a chimeric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In a further example, a chimeric antibody is a “class switched” antibody in which the class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody. Chimeric antibodies include antigen-binding fragments thereof.

In certain embodiments, a chimeric antibody is a humanized antibody. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized to reduce immunogenicity to humans, while retaining the specificity and affinity of the parental non-human antibody. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable domains in which HVRs, e.g., CDRs, (or portions thereof) are derived from a non-human antibody, and FRs (or portions thereof) are derived from human antibody sequences. A humanized antibody optionally will also comprise at least a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, some FR residues in a humanized antibody are substituted with corresponding residues from a non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the HVR residues are derived), e.g., to restore or improve antibody specificity or affinity.

Humanized antibodies and methods of making them are reviewed, e.g., in Almagro and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633 (2008), and are further described, e.g., in Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); Queen et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86:10029-10033 (1989); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,821,337, 7,527,791, 6,982,321, and 7,087,409; Kashmiri et al., Methods 36:25-34 (2005) (describing specificity determining region (SDR) grafting); Padlan, Mol. Immunol. 28:489-498 (1991) (describing “resurfacing”); Dall'Acqua et al., Methods 36:43-60 (2005) (describing “FR shuffling”); and Osbourn et al., Methods 36:61-68 (2005) and Klimka et al., Br. J. Cancer, 83:252-260 (2000) (describing the “guided selection” approach to FR shuffling).

Human framework regions that may be used for humanization include but are not limited to: framework regions selected using the “best-fit” method (see, e.g., Sims et al. J. Immunol. 151:2296 (1993)); framework regions derived from the consensus sequence of human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chain variable regions (see, e.g., Carter et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:4285 (1992); and Presta et al. J. Immunol., 151:2623 (1993)); human mature (somatically mutated) framework regions or human germline framework regions (see, e.g., Almagro and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633 (2008)); and framework regions derived from screening FR libraries (see, e.g., Baca et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272:10678-10684 (1997) and Rosok et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:22611-22618 (1996)).

4. Human Antibodies In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a human antibody. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are described generally in van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5: 368-74 (2001) and Lonberg, Curr. Opin. Immunol. 20:450-459 (2008).

Human antibodies may be prepared by administering an immunogen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigenic challenge. Such animals typically contain all or a portion of the human immunoglobulin loci, which replace the endogenous immunoglobulin loci, or which are present extrachromosomally or integrated randomly into the animal's chromosomes. In such transgenic mice, the endogenous immunoglobulin loci have generally been inactivated. For review of methods for obtaining human antibodies from transgenic animals, see Lonberg, Nat. Biotech. 23:1117-1125 (2005). See also, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 describing XENOMOUSE™ technology; U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,429 describing HUMAB® technology; U.S. Pat. No. 7,041,870 describing K-M MOUSE® technology, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2007/0061900, describing VELOCIMOUSE® technology). Human variable regions from intact antibodies generated by such animals may be further modified, e.g., by combining with a different human constant region.

Human antibodies can also be made by hybridoma-based methods. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines for the production of human monoclonal antibodies have been described. (See, e.g., Kozbor J. Immunol., 133: 3001 (1984); Brodeur et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, pp. 51-63 (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1987); and Boerner et al., J. Immunol., 147: 86 (1991).) Human antibodies generated via human B-cell hybridoma technology are also described in Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006). Additional methods include those described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,826 (describing production of monoclonal human IgM antibodies from hybridoma cell lines) and Ni, Xiandai Mianyixue, 26(4):265-268 (2006) (describing human-human hybridomas). Human hybridoma technology (Trioma technology) is also described in Vollmers and Brandlein, Histology and Histopathology, 20(3):927-937 (2005) and Vollmers and Brandlein, Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, 27(3):185-91 (2005).

Human antibodies may also be generated by isolating Fv clone variable domain sequences selected from human-derived phage display libraries. Such variable domain sequences may then be combined with a desired human constant domain. Techniques for selecting human antibodies from antibody libraries are described below.

5. Library-Derived Antibodies

Antibodies of the invention may be isolated by screening combinatorial libraries for antibodies with the desired activity or activities. For example, a variety of methods are known in the art for generating phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies possessing the desired binding characteristics. Such methods are reviewed, e.g., in Hoogenboom et al. in Methods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., 2001) and further described, e.g., in the McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-554; Clackson et al., Nature 352: 624-628 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222: 581-597 (1992); Marks and Bradbury, in Methods in Molecular Biology 248:161-175 (Lo, ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003); Sidhu et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2): 299-310 (2004); Lee et al., J. Mol. Biol. 340(5): 1073-1093 (2004); Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34): 12467-12472 (2004); and Lee et al., J. Immunol. Methods 284(1-2): 119-132(2004).

In certain phage display methods, repertoires of VH and VL genes are separately cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombined randomly in phage libraries, which can then be screened for antigen-binding phage as described in Winter et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol., 12: 433-455 (1994). Phage typically display antibody fragments, either as single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or as Fab fragments. Libraries from immunized sources provide high-affinity antibodies to the immunogen without the requirement of constructing hybridomas. Alternatively, the naive repertoire can be cloned (e.g., from human) to provide a single source of antibodies to a wide range of non-self and also self antigens without any immunization as described by Griffiths et al., EMBO J, 12: 725-734 (1993). Finally, naive libraries can also be made synthetically by cloning unrearranged V-gene segments from stem cells, and using PCR primers containing random sequence to encode the highly variable CDR3 regions and to accomplish rearrangement in vitro, as described by Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227: 381-388 (1992). Patent publications describing human antibody phage libraries include, for example: U.S. Pat. No. 5,750,373, and US Patent Publication Nos. 2005/0079574, 2005/0119455, 2005/0266000, 2007/0117126, 2007/0160598, 2007/0237764, 2007/0292936, and 2009/0002360.

Antibodies or antibody fragments isolated from human antibody libraries are considered human antibodies or human antibody fragments herein.

6. Multispecific Antibodies

In any one of the above aspects, the anti-CD3 antibody provided herein is a multispecific antibody, for example, a bispecific antibody. Multispecific antibodies are monoclonal antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different sites. In certain embodiments, bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of CD3 (e.g., CD3ε or CD3γ). In certain embodiments, one of the binding specificities is for CD3 (e.g., CD3ε or CD3γ) and the other is for any other antigen (e.g., a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen). Accordingly, a bispecific anti-CD3 antibody may have binding specificities for CD3 and a second biological molecule, such as a second biological molecule (e.g., a tumor antigen) listed in Table 1 and described in U.S. Pub. No. 2010/0111856.

In some embodiments, bispecific antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells which express a tumor antigen, such as a tumor antigen listed in Table 1 (e.g., CD20, FcRH5, HER2, LYPD1, LY6G6D, PMEL17, LY6E, CD19, CD33, CD22, CD79A, CD79B, EDAR, GFRA1, MRP4, RET, Steap1, or TenB2). Bispecific antibodies can also be prepared as full length antibodies or antibody fragments.

Techniques for making multispecific antibodies include, but are not limited to, recombinant co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pairs having different specificities (see Milstein and Cuello, Nature 305: 537 (1983)), WO 93/08829, and Traunecker et al., EMBO J. 10: 3655 (1991)), and “knob-in-hole” engineering (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,168). “Knob-in-hole” engineering of multispecific antibodies may be utilized to generate a first arm containing a knob and a second arm containing the hole into which the knob of the first arm may bind. The knob of the multispecific antibodies of the invention may be an anti-CD3 arm in one embodiment. Alternatively, the knob of the multispecific antibodies of the invention may be an anti-target/antigen arm in one embodiment. The hole of the multispecific antibodies of the invention may be an anti-CD3 arm in one embodiment. Alternatively, the hole of the multispecific antibodies of the invention may be an anti-target/antigen arm in one embodiment. Multispecific antibodies may also be engineered using immunoglobulin crossover (also known as Fab domain exchange or CrossMab format) technology (see eg., WO2009/080253; Schaefer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 108:11187-11192 (2011)). Multi-specific antibodies may also be made by engineering electrostatic steering effects for making antibody Fc-heterodimeric molecules (WO 2009/089004A1); cross-linking two or more antibodies or fragments (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980, and Brennan et al., Science, 229: 81 (1985)); using leucine zippers to produce bi-specific antibodies (see, e.g., Kostelny et al., J. Immunol., 148(5):1547-1553 (1992)); using “diabody” technology for making bispecific antibody fragments (see, e.g., Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993)); and using single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers (see, e.g. Gruber et al., J. Immunol., 152:5368 (1994)); and preparing trispecific antibodies as described, e.g., in Tutt et al. J. Immunol. 147: 60 (1991).

Engineered antibodies with three or more functional antigen binding sites, including “Octopus antibodies,” are also included herein (see, e.g. US 2006/0025576A1).

The antibodies, or antibody fragments thereof, may also include a “Dual Acting FAb” or “DAF” comprising an antigen binding site that binds to CD3 as well as another, different antigen (e.g., a second biological molecule) (see, e.g., US 2008/0069820).

7. Antibody Variants

In certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention (e.g., bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention that bind to CD3 and a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen, such as TDB antibodies of the invention or variants thereof) are contemplated. For example, it may be desirable to improve the binding affinity and/or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of an antibody may be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequences of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, for example, antigen-binding.

a. Substitution, Insertion, and Deletion Variants

In certain embodiments, antibody variants having one or more amino acid substitutions are provided. Sites of interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the HVRs and FRs. Conservative substitutions are shown in Table 2 under the heading of “preferred substitutions.” More substantial changes are provided in Table 2 under the heading of “exemplary substitutions,” and as further described below in reference to amino acid side chain classes. Amino acid substitutions may be introduced into an antibody of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, for example, retained/improved antigen binding, decreased immunogenicity, or improved ADCC or CDC.

Amino acids may be grouped according to common side-chain properties:

(1) hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile;

(2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln;

(3) acidic: Asp, Glu;

(4) basic: His, Lys, Arg;

(5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro;

(6) aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe.

Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class.

One type of substitutional variant involves substituting one or more hypervariable region residues of a parent antibody (e.g. a humanized or human antibody). Generally, the resulting variant(s) selected for further study will have modifications (e.g., improvements) in certain biological properties (e.g., increased affinity, reduced immunogenicity) relative to the parent antibody and/or will have substantially retained certain biological properties of the parent antibody. An exemplary substitutional variant is an affinity matured antibody, which may be conveniently generated, e.g., using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques such as those described herein. Briefly, one or more HVR residues are mutated and the variant antibodies displayed on phage and screened for a particular biological activity (e.g. binding affinity).

Alterations (e.g., substitutions) may be made in HVRs, e.g., to improve antibody affinity. Such alterations may be made in HVR “hotspots,” i.e., residues encoded by codons that undergo mutation at high frequency during the somatic maturation process (see, e.g., Chowdhury, Methods Mol. Biol. 207:179-196 (2008)), and/or residues that contact antigen, with the resulting variant VH or VL being tested for binding affinity. Affinity maturation by constructing and reselecting from secondary libraries has been described, e.g., in Hoogenboom et al. in Methods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., (2001).) In some embodiments of affinity maturation, diversity is introduced into the variable genes chosen for maturation by any of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). A secondary library is then created. The library is then screened to identify any antibody variants with the desired affinity. Another method to introduce diversity involves HVR-directed approaches, in which several HVR residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. HVR residues involved in antigen binding may be specifically identified, e.g., using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling. CDR-H3 and CDR-L3 in particular are often targeted.

In certain embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may occur within one or more HVRs so long as such alterations do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind antigen. For example, conservative alterations (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity may be made in HVRs. Such alterations may, for example, be outside of antigen contacting residues in the HVRs. In certain embodiments of the variant VH and VL sequences provided above, each HVR either is unaltered, or contains no more than one, two or three amino acid substitutions.

A useful method for identification of residues or regions of an antibody that may be targeted for mutagenesis is called “alanine scanning mutagenesis” as described by Cunningham and Wells (1989) Science, 244:1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as arg, asp, his, lys, and glu) are identified and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (e.g., alanine or polyalanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further substitutions may be introduced at the amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Alternatively, or additionally, a crystal structure of an antigen-antibody complex to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and neighboring residues may be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants may be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties.

Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and/or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing a hundred or more residues, as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Examples of terminal insertions include an antibody with an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertional variants of the antibody molecule include the fusion to the N- or C-terminus of the antibody to an enzyme (e.g. for ADEPT) or a polypeptide which increases the serum half-life of the antibody.

b. Glycosylation Variants

In certain embodiments, anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention (e.g., bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention that bind to CD3 and a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen, such as TDB antibodies of the invention or variants thereof) can be altered to increase or decrease the extent to which the antibody is glycosylated. Addition or deletion of glycosylation sites to anti-CD3 antibody of the invention may be conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence such that one or more glycosylation sites is created or removed.

Where the antibody comprises an Fc region, the carbohydrate attached thereto may be altered. Native antibodies produced by mammalian cells typically comprise a branched, biantennary oligosaccharide that is generally attached by an N-linkage to Asn297 of the CH2 domain of the Fc region. See, e.g., Wright et al. TIBTECH 15:26-32 (1997). The oligosaccharide may include various carbohydrates, e.g., mannose, N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), galactose, and sialic acid, as well as a fucose attached to a GlcNAc in the “stem” of the biantennary oligosaccharide structure. In some embodiments, modifications of the oligosaccharide in an antibody of the invention may be made in order to create antibody variants with certain improved properties.

In one embodiment, anti-CD3 antibody variants are provided having a carbohydrate structure that lacks fucose attached (directly or indirectly) to an Fc region. For example, the amount of fucose in such antibody may be from 1% to 80%, from 1% to 65%, from 5% to 65% or from 20% to 40%. The amount of fucose is determined by calculating the average amount of fucose within the sugar chain at Asn297, relative to the sum of all glycostructures attached to Asn 297 (e. g. complex, hybrid and high mannose structures) as measured by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, as described in WO 2008/077546, for example. Asn297 refers to the asparagine residue located at about position 297 in the Fc region (EU numbering of Fc region residues); however, Asn297 may also be located about ±3 amino acids upstream or downstream of position 297, i.e., between positions 294 and 300, due to minor sequence variations in antibodies. Such fucosylation variants may have improved ADCC function. See, e.g., US Patent Publication Nos. US 2003/0157108 (Presta, L.); US 2004/0093621 (Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd). Examples of publications related to “defucosylated” or “fucose-deficient” antibody variants include: US 2003/0157108; WO 2000/61739; WO 2001/29246; US 2003/0115614; US 2002/0164328; US 2004/0093621; US 2004/0132140; US 2004/0110704; US 2004/0110282; US 2004/0109865; WO 2003/085119; WO 2003/084570; WO 2005/035586; WO 2005/035778; WO2005/053742; WO2002/031140; Okazaki et al. J. Mol. Biol. 336:1239-1249 (2004); Yamane-Ohnuki et al. Biotech. Bioeng. 87: 614 (2004). Examples of cell lines capable of producing defucosylated antibodies include Lec13 CHO cells deficient in protein fucosylation (Ripka et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 249:533-545 (1986); US Pat Appl No US 2003/0157108 A1, Presta, L; and WO 2004/056312 A1, Adams et al., especially at Example 11), and knockout cell lines, such as alpha-1,6-fucosyltransferase gene, FUT8, knockout CHO cells (see, e.g., Yamane-Ohnuki et al. Biotech. Bioeng. 87: 614 (2004); Kanda, Y. et al., Biotechnol. Bioeng., 94(4):680-688 (2006); and WO2003/085107).

Anti-CD3 antibodies variants are further provided with bisected oligosaccharides, for example, in which a biantennary oligosaccharide attached to the Fc region of the antibody is bisected by GlcNAc. Such antibody variants may have reduced fucosylation and/or improved ADCC function. Examples of such antibody variants are described, e.g., in WO 2003/011878 (Jean-Mairet et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 6,602,684 (Umana et al.); and US 2005/0123546 (Umana et al.). Antibody variants with at least one galactose residue in the oligosaccharide attached to the Fc region are also provided. Such antibody variants may have improved CDC function. Such antibody variants are described, e.g., in WO 1997/30087 (Patel et al.); WO 1998/58964 (Raju, S.); and WO 1999/22764 (Raju, S.).

c. Fc Region Variants

In certain embodiments, one or more amino acid modifications may be introduced into the Fc region of an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention (e.g., a bispecific anti-CD3 antibody of the invention that binds to CD3 and a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen, such as a TDB antibody of the invention or variant thereof), thereby generating an Fc region variant (see e.g., US 2012/0251531). The Fc region variant may comprise a human Fc region sequence (e.g., a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 Fc region) comprising an amino acid modification (e.g., a substitution) at one or more amino acid positions.

In certain embodiments, the invention contemplates an anti-CD3 antibody variant that possesses some but not all effector functions, which make it a desirable candidate for applications in which the half life of the antibody in vivo is important yet certain effector functions (such as complement and ADCC) are unnecessary or deleterious. In vitro and/or in vivo cytotoxicity assays can be conducted to confirm the reduction/depletion of CDC and/or ADCC activities. For example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding assays can be conducted to ensure that the antibody lacks FcγR binding (hence likely lacking ADCC activity), but retains FcRn binding ability. The primary cells for mediating ADCC, NK cells, express Fc(RIII only, whereas monocytes express Fc(RI, Fc(RII and Fc(RIII. FcR expression on hematopoietic cells is summarized in Table 3 on page 464 of Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9:457-492 (1991). Non-limiting examples of in vitro assays to assess ADCC activity of a molecule of interest is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,362 (see, e.g. Hellstrom, I. et al. Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 83:7059-7063 (1986)) and Hellstrom, I et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 82:1499-1502 (1985); 5,821,337 (see Bruggemann, M. et al., J. Exp. Med. 166:1351-1361 (1987)). Alternatively, non-radioactive assays methods may be employed (see, for example, ACTI™ non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay for flow cytometry (Cell Technology, Inc. Mountain View, Calif.; and CytoTox 96® non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo, e.g., in a animal model such as that disclosed in Clynes et al. Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 95:652-656 (1998). C1 q binding assays may also be carried out to confirm that the antibody is unable to bind C1q and hence lacks CDC activity. See, e.g., C1q and C3ε binding ELISA in WO 2006/029879 and WO 2005/100402. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay may be performed (see, for example, Gazzano-Santoro et al. J. Immunol. Methods 202:163 (1996); Cragg, M. S. et al. Blood. 101:1045-1052 (2003); and Cragg, M. S. and M. J. Glennie Blood. 103:2738-2743 (2004)). FcRn binding and in vivo clearance/half life determinations can also be performed using methods known in the art (see, e.g., Petkova, S. B. et al. Intl. Immunol. 18(12):1759-1769 (2006)).

Antibodies with reduced effector function include those with substitution of one or more of Fc region residues 238, 265, 269, 270, 297, 327 and 329 (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,737,056 and 8,219,149). Such Fc mutants include Fc mutants with substitutions at two or more of amino acid positions 265, 269, 270, 297 and 327, including the so-called “DANA” Fc mutant with substitution of residues 265 and 297 to alanine (U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,332,581 and 8,219,149).

In certain embodiments, the proline at position 329 of a wild-type human Fc region in the antibody is substituted with glycine or arginine or an amino acid residue large enough to destroy the proline sandwich within the Fc/Fc.gamma. receptor interface that is formed between the proline 329 of the Fc and tryptophan residues Trp 87 and Trp 110 of FcgRIII (Sondermann et al.: Nature 406, 267-273 (20 Jul. 2000)). In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises at least one further amino acid substitution. In one embodiment, the further amino acid substitution is S228P, E233P, L234A, L235A, L235E, N297A, N297D, or P331S, and still in another embodiment the at least one further amino acid substitution is L234A and L235A of the human IgG1 Fc region or S228P and L235E of the human IgG4 Fc region (see e.g., US 2012/0251531), and still in another embodiment the at least one further amino acid substitution is L234A and L235A and P329G of the human IgG1 Fc region.

Certain antibody variants with improved or diminished binding to FcRs are described. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,737,056; WO 2004/056312, and Shields et al., J. Biol. Chem. 9(2): 6591-6604 (2001).)

In certain embodiments, an antibody variant comprises an Fc region with one or more amino acid substitutions which improve ADCC, e.g., substitutions at positions 298, 333, and/or 334 of the Fc region (EU numbering of residues).

In some embodiments, alterations are made in the Fc region that result in altered (i.e., either improved or diminished) C1q binding and/or Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC), e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,194,551, WO 99/51642, and Idusogie et al. J. Immunol. 164: 4178-4184 (2000).

Antibodies with increased half lives and improved binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer et al., J. Immunol. 117:587 (1976) and Kim et al., J. Immunol. 24:249 (1994)), are described in US2005/0014934A1 (Hinton et al.). Those antibodies comprise an Fc region with one or more substitutions therein which improve binding of the Fc region to FcRn. Such Fc variants include those with substitutions at one or more of Fc region residues: 238, 256, 265, 272, 286, 303, 305, 307, 311, 312, 317, 340, 356, 360, 362, 376, 378, 380, 382, 413, 424 or 434, e.g., substitution of Fc region residue 434 (U.S. Pat. No. 7,371,826).

See also Duncan & Winter, Nature 322:738-40 (1988); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,260; 5,624,821; and WO 94/29351 concerning other examples of Fc region variants.

In some aspects the anti-CD3 antibody (e.g., bispecific anti-CD3 antibody) comprises an Fc region comprising an N297G mutation. In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody comprising the N297G mutation comprises an anti-CD3 arm comprising a first binding domain comprising the following six HVRs: (a) an HVR-H1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) an HVR-H2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) an HVR-H3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; (d) an HVR-L1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4; (e) an HVR-L2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5; and (f) an HVR-L3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6; and an anti-CD20 arm comprising a second binding domain comprising the following six HVRs: (a) an HVR-H1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 157; (b) an HVR-H2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 158; (c) an HVR-H3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 159; (d) an HVR-L1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 160; (e) an HVR-L2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 161; and (f) an HVR-L3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 162.

In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody comprising the N297G mutation comprises an anti-CD3 arm comprising a first binding domain comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 184 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185, and an anti-CD20 arm comprising a second binding domain comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 266 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 267.

In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody comprising the N297G mutation comprises one or more heavy chain constant domains, wherein the one or more heavy chain constant domains are selected from a first CH1 (CH1₁) domain, a first CH2 (CH2₁) domain, a first CH3 (CH3₁) domain, a second CH1 (CH1₂) domain, second CH2 (CH2₂) domain, and a second CH3 (CH3₂) domain. In some instances, at least one of the one or more heavy chain constant domains is paired with another heavy chain constant domain. In some instances, the CH3₁and CH3₂domains each comprise a protuberance or cavity, and wherein the protuberance or cavity in the CH3₁domain is positionable in the cavity or protuberance, respectively, in the CH3₂domain. In some instances, the CH3₁and CH3₂domains meet at an interface between said protuberance and cavity. In some instances, the CH2₁and CH2₂domains each comprise a protuberance or cavity, and wherein the protuberance or cavity in the CH2₁domain is positionable in the cavity or protuberance, respectively, in the CH2₂domain. In other instances, the CH2₁and CH2₂domains meet at an interface between said protuberance and cavity. In some instances, the anti-CD3 antibody is an IgG1 antibody.

In other embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody comprising the N297G mutation comprises an anti-CD3 arm comprising a first binding domain comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 184 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185, and an anti-CD20 arm comprising a second binding domain comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 266 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 267, wherein (a) the anti-CD3 arm comprises T366S, L368A, Y407V, and N297G substitution mutations and (b) the anti-CD20 arm comprises T366W and N297G substitution mutations.

d. Cysteine Engineered Antibody Variants

In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to create cysteine engineered antibodies, e.g., “thioMAbs,” in which one or more residues of an antibody are substituted with cysteine residues. In particular embodiments, the substituted residues occur at accessible sites of the antibody. By substituting those residues with cysteine, reactive thiol groups are thereby positioned at accessible sites of the antibody and may be used to conjugate the antibody to other moieties, such as drug moieties or linker-drug moieties, to create an immunoconjugate, as described further herein. In certain embodiments, any one or more of the following residues may be substituted with cysteine: V205 (Kabat numbering) of the light chain; A118 (EU numbering) of the heavy chain; and S400 (EU numbering) of the heavy chain Fc region. Cysteine engineered antibodies may be generated as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,521,541.

e. Antibody Derivatives

In certain embodiments, an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention (e.g., bispecific anti-CD3 antibody of the invention that binds to CD3 and a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen, such as a TDB antibody of the invention or variant thereof) provided herein may be further modified to contain additional nonproteinaceous moieties that are known in the art and readily available. The moieties suitable for derivatization of the antibody include but are not limited to water soluble polymers. Non-limiting examples of water soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG), copolymers of ethylene glycol/propylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly-1, 3-dioxolane, poly-1,3,6-trioxane, ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer, polyaminoacids (either homopolymers or random copolymers), and dextran or poly(n-vinyl pyrrolidone)polyethylene glycol, propropylene glycol homopolymers, prolypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol), polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde may have advantages in manufacturing due to its stability in water. The polymer may be of any molecular weight, and may be branched or unbranched. The number of polymers attached to the antibody may vary, and if more than one polymer are attached, they can be the same or different molecules. In general, the number and/or type of polymers used for derivatization can be determined based on considerations including, but not limited to, the particular properties or functions of the antibody to be improved, whether the antibody derivative will be used in a therapy under defined conditions, etc.

B. Recombinant Methods and Compositions

Anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention (e.g., bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention that bind to CD3 and a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen, such as TDB antibodies of the invention or variants thereof) may be produced using recombinant methods and compositions, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567. In one embodiment, isolated nucleic acid encoding an anti-CD3 antibody described herein is provided. Such nucleic acid may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the VL and/or an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody (e.g., the light and/or heavy chains of the antibody). In a further embodiment, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such nucleic acid are provided. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising such nucleic acid is provided. In one such embodiment, a host cell comprises (e.g., has been transformed with): (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody. In one embodiment, the host cell is eukaryotic, e.g. a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell or lymphoid cell (e.g., Y0, NS0, Sp20 cell). In one embodiment, a method of making an anti-CD3 antibody is provided, wherein the method comprises culturing a host cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding the antibody, as provided above, under conditions suitable for expression of the antibody, and optionally recovering the antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium).

For recombinant production of an anti-CD3 antibody, nucleic acid encoding an antibody, e.g., as described above, is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and/or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acid may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody).

Suitable host cells for cloning or expression of antibody-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells described herein. For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (See also Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003), pp. 245-254, describing expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antibody may be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction and can be further purified.

In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for antibody-encoding vectors, including fungi and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been “humanized,” resulting in the production of an antibody with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat. Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004), and Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006).

Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated antibody are also derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates). Examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells. Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells.

Plant cell cultures can also be utilized as hosts. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (describing PLANTIBODIES™ technology for producing antibodies in transgenic plants).

Vertebrate cells may also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that are adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells as described, e.g., in Graham et al., J. Gen Virol. 36:59 (1977)); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); mouse sertoli cells (TM4 cells as described, e.g., in Mather, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251 (1980)); monkey kidney cells (CV1); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI cells, as described, e.g., in Mather et al., Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci. 383:44-68 (1982); MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR⁻ CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as Y0, NS0 and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003).

C. Assays

1. Binding Assays and Other Assays

In one aspect, an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention is tested for its antigen binding activity, for example, by known methods such as ELISA, Western blot, etc.

In another aspect, competition assays may be used to identify an antibody that competes with an anti-CD3 antibody of the invention for binding to CD3.

In an exemplary competition assay, immobilized CD3 is incubated in a solution comprising a first labeled antibody that binds to CD3 and a second unlabeled antibody that is being tested for its ability to compete with the first antibody for binding to CD3. The second antibody may be present in a hybridoma supernatant. As a control, immobilized CD3 is incubated in a solution comprising the first labeled antibody but not the second unlabeled antibody. After incubation under conditions permissive for binding of the first antibody to CD3, excess unbound antibody is removed, and the amount of label associated with immobilized CD3 is measured. If the amount of label associated with immobilized CD3 is substantially reduced in the test sample relative to the control sample, then that indicates that the second antibody is competing with the first antibody for binding to CD3. See, e.g., Harlow and Lane (1988) Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual. Ch. 14 (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).

2. Activity Assays

In one aspect, assays are provided for identifying anti-CD3 antibodies thereof having biological activity. Biological activity may include, for example, binding to CD3 (e.g., CD3 on the surface of a T cell), or a peptide fragment thereof, either in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo. In the case of a multispecific (e.g., bispecific) anti-CD3 antibody of the invention (e.g., a TDB antibody having one anti-CD3 arm and one arm that recognizes a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen), biological activity may also include, for example, effector cell activation (e.g., T cell (e.g., CD8+ and/or CD4+ T cell) activation), effector cell population expansion (i.e., an increase in T cell count), target cell population reduction (i.e., a decrease in the population of cells expressing the second biological molecule on their cell surfaces), and/or target cell killing. Antibodies having such biological activity in vivo and/or in vitro are provided. In certain embodiments, an antibody of the invention is tested for such biological activity, as described in detail in the Examples herein below.

In some embodiments, the activity comprises ability to support B cell killing and/or the activation of the cytotoxic T cells. In certain embodiments, an anti-B cell targeting anti-CD3 antibody of the invention (such as an anti-CD20 TDB) is tested for such B cell killing and/or the activation of the cytotoxic effect of T cells biological activity by any of the methods described herein, in particular the Examples. In some embodiments of any of these activity assays, PBMCs may be isolated from whole blood of healthy donors by Ficoll separation. In particular, human blood may be collected in heparinized syringes, and PBMCs isolated using Leucosep and Ficoll Paque Plus. If needed CD4+T and CD8+ T cells may be separated with Miltenyi kits according to manufacturer's instructions.

Further, cells may be washed in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS, supplemented with GlutaMax, penicillin & streptomycin, and ˜0.2 million suspended cells added to a 96-well U-bottom plate. Cells may be cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS at 37° C. in a humidified standard cell culture incubator. For BJAB cell killing assays, 20,000 BJAB cells may be incubated with effector cells, either as huPBMCs or purified T cells, as indicated ratios per assay, in the presence of various concentrations of TDB antibodies for 24 hours. For endogenous B cell killing assays, 200,000 huPBMCs may be incubated with various concentrations of TDB antibodies for 24 hours.

After culturing, cells may be washed with FACS buffer (0.5% BSA, 0.05% Na Azide in PBS). Cells may then be stained in FACS buffer, washed with FACS buffer and suspended in 100111 of FACS buffer containing 1 μg/ml Propidium Iodide. Data may be collected on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo. Live B cells may be gated out as PI-CD19+ or PI-CD20+ B cells by FACS, and absolute cell count may be obtained with FITC beads added to reaction mix as an internal counting control. The percent (%) of cell killing may be calculated based on non-TDB treated controls. Activated T cells may be detected by CD69 and CD25 surface expression using anti-CD69-FITC and anti-CD25-PE.

Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, the antibody is administered by subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, an anti-CD3 antibody administered by subcutaneous injection exhibits a less toxic response in a patient than the same anti-CD3 antibody administed by intravenous injection. Dosing can be by any suitable route, for example, by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein.

Antibodies of the invention would be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The antibody need not be, but is optionally formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as described herein, or about from 1 to 99% of the dosages described herein, or in any dosage and by any route that is empirically/clinically determined to be appropriate.

For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of an antibody of the invention (when used alone or in combination with one or more other additional therapeutic agents) will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the type of antibody, the severity and course of the disease, whether the antibody is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments.

As a general proposition, the therapeutically effective amount of the anti-CD3 antibody administered to human will be in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg of patient body weight whether by one or more administrations. In some embodiments, the antibody used is about 0.01 to about 45 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 40 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 35 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 30 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 20 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 15 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg, or about 0.01 to about 1 mg/kg administered daily, for example. In one embodiment, an anti-CD3 antibody described herein is administered to a human at a dose of about 100 mg, about 200 mg, about 300 mg, about 400 mg, about 500 mg, about 600 mg, about 700 mg, about 800 mg, about 900 mg, about 1000 mg, about 1100 mg, about 1200 mg, about 1300 mg or about 1400 mg on day 1 of 21-day cycles. The dose may be administered as a single dose or as multiple doses (e.g., 2 or 3 doses), such as infusions. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment would generally be sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. One exemplary dosage of the antibody would be in the range from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg. Thus, one or more doses of about 0.5 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 4.0 mg/kg, or 10 mg/kg (or any combination thereof) may be administered to the patient. Such doses may be administered intermittently, for example, every week or every three weeks (e.g., such that the patient receives from about two to about twenty, or, for example, about six doses of the anti-CD3 antibody). An initial higher loading dose, followed by one or more lower doses may be administered. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays.

In some embodiments, the methods may further comprise an additional therapy. The additional therapy may be radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, gene therapy, DNA therapy, viral therapy, RNA therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, nanotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, or a combination of the foregoing. The additional therapy may be in the form of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is the administration of small molecule enzymatic inhibitor or anti-metastatic agent. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is the administration of side-effect limiting agents (e.g., agents intended to lessen the occurrence and/or severity of side effects of treatment, such as anti-nausea agents, etc.). In some embodiments, the additional therapy is radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is a combination of radiation therapy and surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is gamma irradiation.

III. Examples

The following are examples of methods and compositions of the invention. It is understood that various other embodiments may be practiced, given the general description provided above.

Example 1. Generation of Anti-CD3 Antibodies

CD3ε Antigens

A. Bispecific Human and Cyno CD3ε+CD3γ Fused to Mouse IgG2a-Fc (CD3εγ-muFc)

cDNA encoding extracellular portions of human or cynomolgus monkey (cyno) CD3ε or CD3γ was fused at the C-terminus to a mouse IgG2a Fc to generate CD3-Fc fusions. The cDNAs encoding extracellular domains of human or cyno CD3ε and CD3γ were generated using total RNA from anti-CD3/anti-CD28-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Normal PBMCs were activated by plate-immobilized anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 in RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS for 72 h. Total mRNA was isolated using an RNeasy mini kit from Qiagen. cDNA was cloned using gene-specific primers by RT-PCR into TOPO vectors using Taq polymerase-amplified PCR products following the protocol provided with the TOPO TA cloning kit from Invitrogen. The resulting fragments were introduced into a mammalian expression vector containing a murine IgG2a Fc domain by restriction-free subcloning using Phusion High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (New England Biolabs, Catalog #M0530L). The CD3 fragments were thus amplified with overlapping regions contained in the template plasmid to orient them directly downstream of the signal sequence and N-terminal to the murine Fc.

For both human and cyno constructs, the CD3ε-Fc containing plasmid was transiently co-expressed with the CD3γ-Fc containing plasmid in mammalian CHO cells. Heterodimers of CD3ε/γ were purified by Protein A-Sepharose (Pharmacia Biotech).

B. N-Terminal Peptide-KLH Conjugates (CD3ε-KLH)

Peptide fragments containing N-terminal sequences of cyno and human CD3ε were synthesized. The fragments intended for immunization were conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), a widely used carrier protein for generating a substantial immune response. Appending the naturally occurring cysteine at position 28 for cyno and human CD3ε allowed for coupling of maleimide-activated KLH to the thiol-containing C-terminal cysteine.

C. Single Chain CD3E-26Mer-CD3γ (CD3εγ)

The cDNAs encoding extracellular portions of human CD3ε and CD3γ subunits were generated by PCR. Amino acids 1-97 of human CD3ε and amino acids 1-81 of human CD3γ were connected using a flexible peptide linker of 26 amino acids to form a CD3ε-26mer-CD3γ construct (CD3εγ) (FIG. 1). The construct was cloned into an expression vector with a His-tag for secretion from E. coli using the alkaline phosphotase promoter and the STIII secretion signal sequence. CD3εγ was purified on a Ni column and subsequently refolded. Properly folded CD3εγ was then purified using an OKT3 affinity column.

In addition for some binding experiments, commercial CD3ε was purchased from Creative Biomart, Shirley, New York 11967 (Catalog number CD3E-2194H).

BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice were immunized (2 μg or 10 μg/injection per mouse). Antigens, suspended in monophosphoryl lipid A/trehalose dicorynomycolate adjuvant, were injected into the footpad at 3- to 4-day intervals for a total of 12-15 boosts. Three days after the final pre-fusion boost, lymphocytes from immunized mice spleens and lymph nodes were harvested. Isolated mouse lymphocytes were fused with SP2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells (American Type Culture Collection) by using the Cyto Pulse CEEF-50 apparatus (Cyto Pulse Sciences). Briefly, after washing twice with Cytofusion Medium C (Cat #LCM-C), the isolated spleen cells and SP2/0-Ag14 cells were mixed at a 1:1 ratio and then suspended at 10 million cells/ml in Cytofusion Medium C, electrofusion was performed according to manufacturer's guidance. Fused cells were cultured in ClonaCell-HY Medium C (Cat #03803) overnight at 37° C. in a 7% CO₂incubator. Next day the fused cells were centrifuged and then suspended in 10 ml ClonaCell-HY Medium C and then gently mixed with 90 ml Methylcellulose-based ClonaCell-HY Medium D (Cat #03804) containing HAT components. The cells were plated into OmniTray plates (Thermo Scientific) and allowed to grow in 37° C. in a 7% CO₂incubator. After 6-7 days incubation, single hybridoma clones were picked by ClonePix FL (Molecular Devices) and transferred into 96-well cell culture plates (#353075, Becton Dickinson) with 200 μL/well ClonaCell-HY Medium E (Cat #03805). Hybridoma culture media were changed prior to ELISA screening.

B. Rabbit Immunizations

Rabbit immunizations were performed using 0.5 mg/injection with CFA/IFA human and cyno CD3E-KLH every 2 weeks for 5 injections (d0, d14, d28, d42, d56). Bleeds were taken on days 52 and 66.

PEG fusions and screening was performed as follows. Clones were screened for binding to the N-terminal portion of CD3ε conjugated to thyroglobulin (THY) by ELISA. All positive clones were also found to cross-react with cyno CD3ε by ELISA and 16 unique clones were selected for sub-cloning. Total RNA was extracted from frozen cell pellets and purified using a Qiagen RNeasy kit following manufacturer's instructions. First strand cDNA was synthesized using RT-PCR one-step (Qiagen). Rabbit VH and VL domains were further PCR amplified using a protocol described for generating rabbit immune libraries (Kontermann and Dubel. Antibody Engineering. 1: 115-123, 2010). Moderate degeneracy was designed to represent common rabbit germline immunoglobulin genes.

Antibody Screening

A. Mouse Hybridoma Screening

3 days after media change, hybridoma supernatants were screened by ELISA for binding to both human and cynoCD3ε, as described below. All ELISA positive clones were further screened by flow cytometry for binding to human Jurkat T cells, human PBMCs, and cyno PBMCs (FIGS. 2 and 3). Hybridoma supernatants were purified by Protein A affinity chromatography, then sterile filtered (0.2-μm pore size, Nalge Nunc International, NY, USA) and stored at 4° C. in PBS. Purified mAbs were confirmed by ELISA before further testing in functional assays. mAb isotype was determined using a mouse monoclonal antibody isotyping kit from Roche Diagnostics Corporation.

The amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chain variable domains of the anti-CD3 antibodies 13A3, 72H6, and 19B1 are shown in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4A also delimits the HVR sequences for each of the three antibodies. FIGS. 4B, 4C, 5A, and 5B show additional amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chain variable domains of other anti-CD3 antibodies.

B. Screening Following Rabbit Immunizations

Eight unique heavy chain sequences, and six unique light chain sequences were cloned out from the hybridoma cell lines. FIG. 7 shows the heavy chain and light chain sequences for one of these antibodies, Rab17. High similarity in sequence led to the decision to focus on 6 heavy and light pairs. The 6 resulting antibodies were expressed as chimeric rabbit/human IgGs on a small scale (100 ml cultures of 293S), and screened for binding to CD3 epsilon by ELISA.

Antibody Characterization—Binding Affinity and T Cell Activation Activity Assays

A. CD3εγ Binding ELISA Assay

The CD3εγ binding ELISA assay was performed in 96-well microtiter ELISA plates (Greiner, Germany) coated with either human/cyno CD3ε N-terminal amino acids conjugated to THY or human/cyno CD3ε/γ fused to murine Fc at 2 μg/ml in 0.05 M carbonate buffer (pH 9.6), 4° C. overnight. After washing three times with wash buffer (0.05% Tween 20 in PBS), plates were blocked with 200 μL ELISA assay diluents with BSA. 100 μL of cultured supernatants or diluted purified mAbs were added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The plates were washed three times and incubated with HRP conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG Fc for 1 hour. After washing three times, bound enzyme was detected by addition of 100 μL/well TMB substrate (BioFX Laboratories, MD, USA) for 5 min. The reactions were stopped by adding 100 μL/well of stop reagent (BioFX, Laboratories, MD, USA) and detection of color at A_{630 nm}.

B. Flow Cytometry Analysis

Human Jurkat T cells, human PBMCs, or cyno PBMCs were washed twice with FACS staining buffer (phosphate-buffered saline containing 1% fetal bovine serum) and then suspended in FACS staining buffer to final concentration of 5×10⁶cells/ml. 100 μl cells were added to U-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate (#353077, Becton Dickinson), and 100 μl hybridoma supernatants or diluted purified mAbs were added. After 30 min incubation on ice, cells were washed twice with FACS staining buffer and subsequently stained with FITC- or allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (#1012-11, Southern Biotech) at 1:300 dilution for 30 min. After washing twice with FACS staining buffer, cells were analyzed by FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences) flow cytometry. Data was analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc.).

C. Human T Cell Activation Assay

Human blood was collected in heparinized syringes, and PBMC were isolated using Leucosep (Greiner Bio-one, cat #227290P) and Ficoll Paque Plus (GE Healthcare Biosciences, cat #95038-168), as recommended by the manufacture. Cells were washed in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS, supplemented with GlutaMax (Gibco, cat #35050-061), penicillin & streptomycin (Gibco, cat #15140-122), and ˜0.2 million suspended cells were added to a 96-well U-bottom plate. Anti-CD3 antibodies were added at between 10 and 0.01 μg/ml. After culturing for −20 hours, cells were washed with FACS buffer (0.5% BSA, 0.05% Na Azide in PBS). Cells were then stained with anti-CD69-FITC (BD, cat #555530), anti-CD25-PE (BD, cat #555432) anti-CD4-APC (BD, cat #555349) or anti-CD8-APC (BD, cat #555369) in FACS buffer, washed with FACS buffer and suspend in 100 ul of FACS buffer containing 1 μg/ml Propidium Iodide. Data was collected on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo. The extent of T cell activation was determined comparing the percentage of CD69+ and CD25+ population in CD4+ or CD8+ T cells.

D. Cyno T Cell Activation Assay

Cyno blood was collected in heparinized tubes. Red blood cells were lysed twice with ACK red blood cell lysis buffer (0.874% NH4Cl, 0.1% KHCO3, 0.00368 EDTA Disodium). Cells were washed in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS, supplemented with GlutaMax (Gibco, cat #35050-061), penicillin & streptomycin (Gibco, cat #15140-122), and ˜0.2 million suspended cells were added to a 96-well U-bottom plate. Anti-CD3 antibodies were added at 10 μg/ml. After culturing for ˜20 hours, cells were washed with FACS buffer (0.5% BSA, 0.05% Na Azide in PBS). Cells were then stained with anti-CD69-FITC (BD, cat #555530), anti-CD25-PE (BD, cat #555432) anti-CD4-APC (BD, cat #551980) in FACS buffer, washed with FACS buffer and suspend in 100 μg of FACS buffer containing 1 μg/ml Propidium Iodide. Data was collected on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo. The extent of T cell activation was determined by comparing the percentage of CD69+ and CD25+ population in CD4+ T cells.

Generation of Anti-CD3 Antibody Variants

A. Cloning and Sequencing of Mouse CD3εγ Human/Cyno Cross-Reactive Hybridomas

Total RNA was extracted from mouse hybridoma cells with RNeasy kit (Qiagen), and first-strand cDNA was synthesized using a SuperScript III RT kit (Invitrogen). Antibody genes were amplified by error-proof Taq polymerase PCR with 5′ degenerated primer mixture and 3′ Cγ-, Cκ-, Cλ-specific primers. PCR products were purified and the variable regions of the antibody heavy and light chains were obtained by sequencing the PCR product. The variable regions of antibody heavy and light chains were digested with appropriate restriction enzymes and cloned into respective pRK expression vectors. The murine antibodies were expressed in 293 cells.

B. Humanization

Sequences of human/cyno CD3εγ cross-reactive hybridomas were aligned to the most homologous human consensus or germline light and heavy variable domains (FIG. 7). A consensus sequence called mu40G5c was derived from light and heavy chain variable domains of related hybridoma clones (FIG. 7). Hypervariable regions (HVRs) were engineered into light and heavy human acceptor frameworks to generate humanized CDR-grafts (see, e.g., FIGS. 8A-8F). Humanized variants were assessed in the form of Fab fragments or as IgG. VL domain positions 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2) and 89-97 (L3) and VH domain positions 26-35 (H1), 50-65 (H2) and 95-102 (H3) were used for the grafts (FIGS. 8A-8F). Additional variants that included various combinations of one or more mouse vernier positions were also generated and tested for binding affinity (see, e.g., FIGS. 9A-9F). Murine variable domain residues at select vernier positions were incorporated into a final humanized sequence based on their ability to improve binding affinity. The monovalent binding affinities for selected humanized antibodies for different CD3ε antigens are shown in FIG. 10. The binding affinities for affinity variants of humanized anti-CD3 antibody 38E4 (38E4v1-38E4v9) and 40G5c are shown in FIG. 11.

C. Paratope Mapping

Each residue in HVR-L3 and HVR-H3 of hu38E4 was separately mutated to alanine using Kunkle mutagenesis. In addition, position 95 in HVR-H3 was also mutated to serine, threonine, or glutamate. Variants with these single point mutations were expressed as Fabs in HEK293 cells and initially screened with a single cycle kinetics method on a Biacore T100. Selected variants were also scaled up and purified for a conventional multi-cycle kinetics method. For single cycle kinetics, Biacore Series S CM5 sensor chips were immobilized with anti-human Fab antibodies (Human Fab capture kit, GE Healthcare). Each Fab was captured from culture supernatant and the increasing concentrations (ranging from 3 nM to 250 nM in HBSP buffer) of human CD3εγ were injected sequentially at a flow rate of 30 μl/min in a single analysis cycle without regeneration of the surface in between injections; 10 min dissociation was acquired for each cycle. For conventional multi-cycle kinetics, human CD3εγ, cyno CD3εγ, or a 27-mer peptide were immobilized on Biacore Series S CM5 sensor chip using the amine coupling kit from Biacore. Serial 3-fold dilutions of each Fab variant were injected at a flow rate of 30 μl/min. Each sample was analyzed with a protocol of 3-minute association and 3-minute dissociation. In both methods, the Biacore chips were regenerated using 10 mM Glycine (pH 1.7). Binding response was corrected by blank subtraction and a 1:1 Languir model of simultaneous fitting of k_onand k_offwas used for kinetics analysis. The effects of these mutations, summarized in FIG. 12, indicate light chain residue R96 and heavy chain residues Y97, R99 and F100b play critical roles in the binding to CD3εγ.

D. CD3 Epitope Mapping

Alanine mutations were introduced into CD3ε^1-27-Fc in order to evaluate epitope recognition of N-terminal binding anti-CD3ε antibodies. Each CD3ε^1-27-Fc variant was immobilized on Nunc Maxisorp plates overnight in PBS at 2 μg/ml at 4° C. After blocking the plates with 2% powdered milk in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 for 1 h, 100 μl of 3 nM anti-CD3ε was added to each well and allowed to bind for 1 h at 25° C. After 6 washings with PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20, antibody binding was detected by the addition of anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody, as depicted in FIG. 13A.

CD3εγ was sub-cloned into an M13 phagemid which contains a C-terminal gD tag followed by an amber stop codon so that it could be displayed on phage or expressed in a non suppressor strain of E. coli. This CD3εγ phagemid was used as a template for making single alanine mutations in CD3ε by Kunkel mutagenesis. Each CD3ε alanine mutant displayed on phage, was confirmed by DNA sequencing, isolated from a single colony, grown overnight in 2YT/Carb plus KO7 helper phage and purified by PEG precipitation. The effect of alanine mutation in CD3εγ on anti-CD3 antibody binding was assessed using a phage ELISA. Each anti-CD3 antibody was immobilized on a NUNC maxisorp plate at 2 μg/ml in PBS buffer overnight at 4° C. Purified phage supernatant displaying a CD3εγ alanine variant (1.0 OD₄₅₀) was added to the plate and allowed to bind at room temperature with shaking for 1 h. After washing, bound phage was detected with anti-M13-HRP (GE Healthcare cat #45-001-419). Binding of each CD3εγ alanine variant was compared to wild-type CD3εγ phage binding (FIG. 13B). Alanine variants that impacted anti-CD3 antibody binding, were further characterized by assessing binding as a function of phage concentration (FIG. 13C).

To quantify the impact of alanine mutations in CD3 on antibody binding, selected CD3 alanine mutants were expressed in a non-supressor strain of E. coli. The secreted CD3εγ variants were captured from the crude periplasmic fraction using anti-CD3 antibody UCHT1v9. UCHT1v9 was immobilized on a CM5 serios S chip through amine coupling using the anti-human IgG (Fc) antibody capture kit (BR-1008-39) from GE Healthcare. SPR measurements were performed on the Biacore 4000 instrument, utilizing kinetic evaluation software. In order to measure monovalent binding affinities, anti-CD3 bispecific antibodies were used in which one arm was the anti-CD3 to be tested and the arm recognized an irrelevant antigen. The bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies were passed over the captured supernatant in a concentration series of two-fold dilutions from 0.39 to 100 nM. The resulting kinetics (FIG. 13D) were measured and calculated using Biacore 4000 BIAevaluation software (product code 28-9664-57).

E. Structural Mapping of CD3E Binding Site

1. Hu38E4.v1 Fab

Hu38E4.v1 Fab, dissolved in 0.15 M NaCl, 25 mM tris, pH 7.5 at 10 mg/ml, and a 2-fold molar excess (1 mg) of CD3ε peptide, QDGNEEMGGITQTPYK (SEQ ID NO: 284) (FIG. 14A), were mixed and subjected to crystallization trials. Initial screening was done with a sparse matrix of precipitants in a sitting drop vapor diffusion format. Optimized crystals grew from a 1:1 mixture with reservoir solution containing 70% v/v methyl-pentanediol, and 0.1 M HEPES buffer at pH 7.5. The reservoir was used as a cryoprotectant. The crystals were transferred to cryogenic temperature by sudden immersion into liquid nitrogen.

The diffraction data for hu38E4.v1 Fab and CD3ε peptide co-crystal were collected at Advanced Photon Source beam line 221D, using a MAR300 CCD detector. The recorded diffractions were then integrated and scaled using the program HKL2000.

The structure was phased by molecular replacement (MR) method using program Phaser. The MR search model was a Fab subunit derived from a crystal structure of HGFA/Fab complex (PDB code: 2R0L). The CD3ε peptide was built into the structure based on a Fo-Fc map. The structure was subsequently refined with programs REFMACS and PHENIX using the maximum likelihood target functions, anisotropic individual B-factor refinement method, and TLS refinement method, to achieve convergence. The data and refinement statistics are show in Table 3A.

The crystal structure of the hu38E4.v1 Fab/CD3ε peptide complex was determined at 1.9 Å resolution. The structure revealed that the CD3ε peptide makes a small turn and inserts deeply into the cleft between heavy and light chains of the 38E4.v1 Fab (FIGS. 14B and 14C). Binding buries 666 Å²of solvent accessible surface area between the peptide and the Fab fragment and involves an intricate network of hydrophobic, hydrogen binding and ionic interactions (FIG. 14D). The N-terminal pyroglutamate (pyroglu) ring packs against heavy chain Tyr33 and makes a hydrogen bond with heavy chain His35 in HVR-H1. The bulky side chain of residue F100b in HVR-H3 pushes His35 into a proper orientation for its interaction with pyroglu and explains the loss of binding observed when F100b is mutated to alanine, a small side chain residue. In addition, consistent with the alanine scanning results, R96 in CDR-L3 makes a critical hydrogen bond with the carboxyl group in the pyroglu, whereas Y97 in CDR-H3 makes a hydrogen bond with Met7 of the CD3ε peptide (FIG. 14E). Interestingly, while alanine substitution at R99 in CDR-H3 has a dramatic effect on antigen binding, the structure reveals that this side chain points away from the CD3ε peptide and does not involve in any interactions with the peptide. Instead, R99 makes extensive contacts with several residues in CDR-H3, including a hydrogen bond with D101 and hydrophobic packing against Y100a that further impacts the vernier residue, LC Y49 (FIG. 14F). These interactions are likely important for the support and overall arrangement of CDR loops in the 38E4.v1 Fab by organizing the critical central cleft between heavy and light chains to enable

CD3ε peptide binding.

FIG. 14G identifies all residues of the 38E4.v1 Fab that were determined to reside within 5 Å from the CD3ε peptide. These antigen contact residues are identical between hu38E4.v1 and hu40G5c, except that residue G96 of hu38E4.v1 is a serine residue (S96) in hu40G5 (see FIG. 14H, which depicts the location of contact residue G96 of hu38E4.v1).

The contacts between anti-CD3 (38E4.v1) and the CD3ε peptide were calculated based on alanine scanning. The epitopes recognized by the 38E4v1 anti-CD3 are contacts with a distance of 3.5 Angstroms or shorter, as provided in FIG. 109. From this analysis, the CD3 epitopes Gln1 (PCA1, pyroglutamic acid), Asp2, Glu6, and Met7 were found to be important contact forming residues with the paratopes of the light chain and heavy chain variable regions of the CD3 antibody.

2. SP34v52 Fab

SP34v52 Fab was dissolved in 0.25 M NaCl, 25 mM MES pH 5.5 at 10 mg/mL. The initial crystallization screening was done with a sparse matrix (PEGII, Qiagen) screen in a sitting drop vapor diffusion format. A crystallization hit was found in a drop with the reservoir containing 0.2M CaCl₂), 0.1M HEPES pH 7.5, and 30% w/v PEG 4000. Optimized crystals grew from a mixture of 2 μL protein and 2 μL of reservoir solution containing 20-23% w/v PEG 3350, 0.1M HEPES pH 7.2, 0.1M CaCl₂). Hanging drop vapor diffusion method was used and the final crystallization drop was incubated at 18° C. The diffraction data for SP34v52 Fab were collected at Stanford Synchrotron Light Source beam line 12-2, using a PILATUS detector. The recorded diffractions were then integrated using program XDS and scaled using the program SCALA. The structure was phased by molecular replacement (MR) method using program Phaser. The MR search model was a Fab subunit derived from a crystal structure of HGFA/Fab complex (PDB Code: 2R0L). The CD3ε peptide was build into the structure based on a F_o-F_cmap. The structure was subsequently refined with programs REFMACS and PHENIX using the maximum likelihood target functions, anisotropic individual B-factor refinement method, and TLS refinement method, to achieve convergence. The data and refinement statistics are shown in Table 4 below.

In FIGS. 14I-14L, the crystal structures of the hu38E4.v1 and SP34v52 Fabs were compared in the same orientation. When the CD3ε peptide was superimposed on the SP34v52 Fab with the same orientation as in the hu38E4.v1, clear clashes of the peptide with SP34v52 were observed (FIG. 14L). HVR-H2 residues R50 and R52 of SP34v52, which were not present in either hu38E4.v1 or hu40G5c, were found to be important for the binding of CD3 by SP34v52 (FIG. 14L). These data demonstrate that hu38E4.v1 and hu40G5c bind to CD3 in a manner distinct from that of SP34v52.

The crystal structure of the hu38E4.v1 in complex with the N-terminal peptide of CD3ε is illustrated in FIGS. 14M and 14N. FIG. 14M provides a zoomed in view of the key intermolecular interactions involved in contacting the sixth residue in CD3_εγ. In a zoomed out view, FIG. 14N depicts a space filling model of the Fab/CD3 peptide complex where the fifth residue is completely pointing away from the interaction site. The sixth residue, as shown, is involved in the interactions with the Fab and points into the active site.

Example 2. Generation and Selection of T-Cell Dependent Bispecific (TDB) Antibodies

One approach to harness the high cytotoxic potential of T cells in eradicating tumor cells has been the use of T-cell dependent bispecific (TDB) antibodies. Encouraging clinical responses have been reported with molecules such as B cell targeting blinatumomab, the CD19/CD3-bispecific BiTE antibody. However, the therapeutic promise of many reported bispecific antibody modalities has been limited by liabilities including unfavorable pharmacokinetics (PK), toxicity, and/or production issues. Accordingly, we initially generated and characterized anti-CD3 TDB antibodies having varied combinations of anti-CD3 and anti-tumor antigen (e.g., anti-CD20, anti-FcRH5, anti-HER2, anti-LYPD1, anti-LY6E, anti-LY6G6D, anti-PMEL17, anti-CD19, anti-CD22, anti-CD33, anti-CD79A, anti-CD79B, anti-EDAR, anti-GFRA1, anti-MRP4, anti-RET, anti-Steap1, anti-TenB2) arms, produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format. Unexpectedly, we found that particular combinations (pairs) of anti-CD3 and anti-tumor antigen arms resulted in TDBs exhibiting favorable activity over other TDBs.

TDB antibodies were produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format as human IgG1, as previously described (Atwell et al. J. Mol. Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997). Half antibodies were expressed in either E. coli or Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by Protein A-affinity chromatography, and the proper half antibody pairs were annealed in vitro as described previously (Spiess et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2013). If TDB antibody production was carried out in CHO cells, the antibody may include an aglycosylation mutation, for example, at residue N297 (e.g., N297G), such that the TDB antibody was an effector-less variant and unable to initiate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). FIG. 15 shows a schematic overview of CD3/CD20 TDB production.

After annealing, the CD3/CD20 TDBs were purified by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) and characterized by analytical gel filtration, mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified antibodies ran as a single peak (>99% of the signal) in gel filtration with less than 0.2% aggregates. No homodimers were detected by mass spectrometry. The anti-CD20 arms tested in the generation of CD3/CD20 TDBs included 2H7v16, 2H7v114, 2H7v511, and GA101. The anti-CD3 arms tested in the generation of CD3/CD20 TDBs included UCHT1v1, UCHT1v9, UCHT1vM1, 72H6, 13A3, 30A1, 41 D9a, SP34v52, 40G5c, 38E4v1-38E4v9, 21B2, 125A1, and 21A9. CD3/CD20 TDBs were tested for binding to CD3, as well as activity, as assessed by in vitro B cell killing assays and T cell activation assays.

A. Binding Affinity

Binding affinities for the each of the CD3/CD20 TDBs were tested by Biacore or FACS analysis, as described above for the anti-CD3 antibodies. Briefly, for Biacore binding assays, human CD3εγ was immobilized on Biacore Series S CM5 sensor chip using the amine coupling kit from Biacore and CD3/CD20 TDBs or Fab variants thereof were in the flow through. For FACS binding assays, either Bjab cells (for B cell antigens) or Jurkat cells (for CD3 antigen) were incubated with various concentrations of TDB antibodies at 4° C. for 30 minutes, then cells were washed and incubated with 2^ndantibody (anti-huIgG-PE; BD Bioscience) for another 15 minutes, before cells were washed again and ready for FACS analysis. FIG. 16 shows the results of in vitro FACS binding assays of CD3/CD20 TDBs. The results demonstrate that particular combinations of anti-CD3 antibody arm and anti-tumor antigen arm (e.g., anti-CD20 arm) result in TDB antibodies with more favorable binding properties. FIG. 17 shows the monovalent and bivalent binding affinities for these particular CD3/CD20 TDBs. The particular pairing of 2H7v16 with anti-CD3 arms (e.g., UCHT1v9), for example, resulted in a CD3/CD20 TDB that displayed unexpectedly strong binding to both Bjab and Jurkat cells compared to the other tested CD3/CD20 TDBs having different anti-CD20 arms. The binding affinity of other CD3/CD20 TDBs having a 2H7v16 anti-CD20 arm and various anti-CD3 arms were also tested (see FIGS. 18-24).

B. In Vitro B Cell Killing and T Cell Activation Assays

The generated CD3/CD20 TDBs were also tested for their ability to support B cell killing and the activation of the cytotoxic effect of T cells. In these assays, B tumor cell lines (Bjab) were obtained from ATCC, and PBMCs were isolated from whole blood of healthy donors by Ficoll separation. If needed CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells were separated with Miltenyi kits according to manufacturer's instructions. Cells were cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37° C. in a humidified standard cell culture incubator. For Bjab cell killing assays, 20,000 Bjab cells were incubated with effector cells either as huPBMCs or purified T cells as indicated ratios per assay, in the presence of various concentrations of TDB antibodies for a time period as indicated per assay. For endogenous B cell killing assays, 200,000 huPBMCs were incubated with various concentrations of TDB antibodies for hours indicated per assay. At the end of each assay, live B cells were gated out as PI-CD19+ or PI-CD20+ B cells by FACS, and absolute cell count was obtained with FITC beads added to reaction mix as internal counting control. % of cell killing was calculated based on non-TDB treated controls. Activated T cells were detected by CD69 and CD25 surface expression.

The varied efficacies of the generated TDB antibodies with bispecificity for CD3 and a second biological molecule (in this instance, CD20), underscore the critical and unpredictable contributions of both antibody arms in the generation of an exemplary TDB possessing high efficacy (see FIGS. 25-49).

Example 3. Characterization of Exemplary CD3/CD20 TDBs (CD20 TDBs)

We further characterized two of the exemplary CD3/CD20 TDBs (CD20 TDBs) described above, which showed high efficacy in the in vitro B cell killing and T cell activation assays. The CD20 arm of each TDB antibody was anti-CD20 clone 2H7.v16 (see FIG. 50), while the CD3 arm was clone UCHT1v9 (see, e.g., Zhu et al. Int. J. Cancer. 62: 319-324, 1995) or cyno cross-reactive clone 40G5c (see, e.g., FIG. 51), which shares comparable activities.

Materials and Methods

A. Antibody Production

T-cell dependent bispecific (TDB) antibodies were produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format as human IgG1 as previously described (Atwell et al. J. Mol. Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997). Half antibodies were expressed in E. coli and thus aglycosylated, purified by Protein A-affinity chromatography, and the proper half antibody pairs were annealed in vitro as described previously (Spiess et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2013). After annealing, the antibodies were purified by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) and characterized by analytical gel filtration, mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified antibodies ran as a single peak (>99% of the signal) in gel filtration with no detectable aggregates (FIG. 52A), and no homodimers were detected by mass spectrometry (FIG. 52B).

B. In Vitro B Cell Killing and T Cell Activation Assays

B tumor cell lines are obtained from ATCC, and PBMCs were isolated from whole blood of healthy donors by Ficoll separation. CD4+T and CD8+T cells were separated with Miltenyi kits according to manufacturer's instructions. Cells were cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich). For B cell killing assays, live B cells were gated out as PI-CD19+ B cells by FACS, and absolute cell count was obtained with FITC beads added to reaction mix as internal counting control. Activated T cells were detected by CD69 and CD25 surface expression. Intracellular Granzyme B induction was detected by FACS. Perforin concentration in media is detected by ELISA (eBioscience). All antibodies were purchased from BD Bioscience.

C. In Vivo Efficacy Studies in Murine Models

Humanized NSG and SCID mice were purchased from Jackson Labs. Human CD20 transgenic mice and human CD3 transgenic mice were produced as previously described (Gong et al. J. Immunol. 174: 817-826, 2005 and de la Here et al. J. Exp. Med. 173: 7-17, 1991), and human CD20/CD3 double transgenic mice were produced by crossing the two single transgenic mice. Human lymphoma mouse models were generated by injecting 5×10⁶Bjab-luciferase cells alone or mixed with 10×10⁶human donor PBMCs in HBSS subcutaneously into the right flanks of 40 female mice. Mice were treated intravenously with vehicle or 0.5 mg/kg CD20 TDB one hour post-inoculation and one week following the initial treatment. Tumors were measured 1-2 times per week, and body weights were measured twice per week up to 7 days following the final treatment. If no weight loss was observed, weights were no longer taken for a given animal. If weight loss was greater than 15% of the total body weight, affected mice were weighed daily, and euthanized (or brought to the attention of the veterinary staff) if weight loss exceeded 20%. Clinical observations were performed twice per week throughout the duration of the study to monitor the health of the animals; any animal with a tumor of a size or condition that may interfere with the health or activity of the animal was euthanized. Otherwise, animals were euthanized 6 months after the initial treatment or if the tumor became ulcerated or its volume exceeded 2500 mm³.

Patient-derived chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) mouse models were generated as previously described (Bagnara et al. Blood. 117: 5463-5472, 2011). Briefly, 5×10⁵activated T cells were purified from CLL PBMCs and injected retro-orbitally into NSG mice. Following T cell engraftment, 2×10′ CLL PBMCs were injected retro-orbitally. After 14 days, circulation of transplanted B and T cells was confirmed by FACS analysis. Successfully engrafted animals were subsequently treated 3.5 weeks later with TDB antibodies administered intravenously by tail vein injection. Animals were euthanized 6 or 14 days after treatment. Whole blood was collected by puncture of the retro-orbital sinus using heparinized pipets and immediately transferred into heparinized tubes, while the animals were under anesthesia, or by terminal cardiac puncture, with a heparinized syringe after CO2 euthanasia. Spleens were collected after CO2 euthanasia. For every study, clinical observations were performed twice per week to monitor the health of the animals. Animal body weights were taken at least once a week. PBMCs were isolated after red blood cell lysis, and analyzed by FACS for B cells (muCD45+CD19+) and T cells (muCD90.2+CD4+, or muCD90.2+CD8+). All antibodies used are purchased from either BD Biosciences or eBiosciences.

D. PKPD Study in Cynomolgus Monkeys

All cynomolgus monkey studies were conducted using purpose bred, naïve, cynomolgus monkeys of Chinese origin. For the single dose PKPD study, 3 male cynomolgus monkeys were administered a single slow bolus IV dose of 1 mg/kg of CD20 TDB; for the repeat dose study, 4 cynomolgus monkeys were administered an IV slow bolus dose of 1 mg/kg of CD20 TDB once weekly for a total of 4 dose. Whole blood or tissues was collected at selected time points for B cell and T cell count by FACS. Serum was collected, and stored at−70C until assayed using an ELISA to determine the amount of test article in each serum sample. Serum concentration-time profiles from each animal were used to estimate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters using WinNonlin software (Pharsight; Mountain View, Calif.).

High Quality CD20 TDB Produced as a Full Length, Humanized IgG with Conventional Antibody PK Property

To explore targeting properties that could affect B-cell targeting TDB potency including antigen identity, size of the extracellular domain, and epitope distance from the membrane, we created over 40 different TDBs targeting epitopes on CD3ε, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD79a, and CD79b. Representative results are shown in FIG. 56I. We found that the most potent TDBs were those that targeted cancer target antigens with small extracellular domains (ECDs) and epitopes close to the target cell membrane. Among the best targets were CD20, CD79a, and CD79b with potencies around 10 ng/ml or 67 pM for killing of normal donor B cells by autologous T cells.

Anti-CD20/CD3 TDB (CD20-TDB) is described here as a proof of concept molecule showcasing the pharmacological activity of these B-cell targeting TDBs. CD20 TDBs were produced as full-length, fully humanized IgGs with natural antibody architecture from bacteria, free of homodimers and aggregates (FIG. 52). The pharmacokinetic (PK) property of CD20 TDB in rats, a non-binding species, resembles that of other human IgG antibodies, with a half-life of about 7 days (FIG. 53).

B Cell Killing with CD20 TDB is T Cell Dependent Via the Granzyme-Perforin Pathway

To assess CD20 TDB as a potential therapy for cell proliferative disorders, such as CD20+B cell malignancies, we first investigated its mechanism of action as a T cell-recruiting bispecific antibody. Distinct from ADCC activity, which is the main mechanism of action for classic monoclonal antibody therapy, CD20 TDB doesn't require the Fc region for its activity. F(ab′)2 portion of CD20 TDB retained the same potency as the full-length IgG CD20 TDB in B cell killing (FIG. 54A). CD20 TDB is a conditional agonist, requiring target expression, T cells, and antibody for activity. B cell killing activity of CD20 TDB is T cell-dependent, as no B cell killing was detected with PBMCs depleted of CD3+T cells (FIG. 54B). Target expression is required for T cell activation, as no CD20 expression results in no activated T cells (FIG. 54C). CD20 TDB is able to activate both CD4+ and CD8+T cells as measured by the induction of both CD69 and CD25 on T cells (FIG. 54D). Comparable B cell killing can be achieved with either T cells as effectors, while CD8+T cells appear to be more potent in BJAB cell killing, as CD8+T cells resulted in higher extent of cell killing than equal number of CD4+ T cells (FIG. 54C). However, Granzyme upregulation is more prevalent within CD8+T cells (FIG. 54E), as well as higher levels of perforin and Granzymes A and B (not shown) release associated with CD8+T cells was detected in the media by ELISA (FIG. 54F). Activated T cells are capable of proliferation (FIG. 55). Overall T cell count, however, didn't increase significantly after 24 hours in the presence of CD20 TDB and B cells without cytokine supplement in vitro, likely due to culture conditions. Robust T cell expansion was indeed observed in vivo from efficacy studies with murine models and in cynomolgus monkeys (FIGS. 58A and 67C).

CD20 TDB Potent in Killing B Leukemia/Lymphoma Cells, and in Autologous B Cell Killing In Vitro

B cell killing potency of CD20 TDB was also tested with more than a dozen B leukemia/lymphoma cell lines in vitro. To assess the potency of the CD20-TDB, 8 lines were selected that represent cells with a wide range of CD20 expression level (FIG. 56B). The dose-response B cell killing curves are shown with the 8 cell lines, with PBMC isolated from healthy donor as effector cells (FIG. 56A). Significantly, CD20-TDB had no activity against SU-DHL1 cells that are devoid of CD20 expression. The potency of the CD20-TDB was somewhat correlated with the various levels of surface CD20 detected by flow cytometry (56A). Nonetheless, CD20 TDB is potent in killing all 8 lines in a dose-dependent manner, with EC50 ranging from 0.38 to 11 ng/ml for 24 hour assay. The extent of cell killing varies somehow from 60 to 90% with up to 1000 ng/ml TDB in a 24 hour assay (FIG. 56C). In general, complete B cell killing can be achieved with higher antibody concentration or extended assay time. SU-DHL-1 cells are included in the killing assay as a CD20 negative control, where no cell killing is observed demonstrating the requirement for target expression for CD20 TDB activity. Activity of CD20 TDB appears to require very low level of target expression, as Nalm-6 and SC-1 cells shown here all have very low CD20 surface expression (FIG. 56B). Monovalent binding affinity of CD20 TDB for CD20 is weaker than bivalent binding affinity of the parental anti-CD20, with a K_Dof 54 nM determined by scatchard. Taken together, the K_Dvalue and CD20 TDB B cell killing potency, receptor occupancy required for CD20 TDB activity is only less than 0.1%. TDBs generated to target different B cell antigens are also effective in mediating B cell killing as shown in FIG. 56D, where TDBs targeting 5 different B cell antigens, including a CD20 TDB (TDB A: 2H7v16/UCHT1v9), killed 75% to 90% of B cells. CD20 TDB can further mediate the killing of additional B lymphoma lines with variable CD20 surface antigen expression (FIG. 56E).

CD20 TDB is also highly potent in autologous B cell killing, tested with human PBMCs isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors (FIG. 56F). Shown in FIG. 56F are the dose-responsive killing curves for 8 random donors, as well as a summary plot for EC50 and extent of B cell killing (FIG. 56G) with 1000 ng/ml antibody in a 24 hour assay for 30 donors. Out of the 30 samples tested, 57 to 96% of B cells were killed with up to 1000 ng/ml antibody within 24 hours, with EC50 ranging from 0.43 to 135 ng/ml with a median value of less than 3 ng/ml. The extent of B cell killing within 24 hours by CD20 TDB is very comparable or higher than B cell killing by an anti-CD3/anti-CD19 scFv (FIG. 56H).

CD20 TDB is Potent in Depleting B Cells In Vivo in Murine Models

As our tested CD20 TDB does not recognize murine CD20 and CD3 antigens, we took advantage of human CD20 and human CD3 transgenic mice (described above) to produce human CD3/CD20 double transgenic mice for subsequent efficacy studies in vivo. As shown in FIG. 57A, human CD3/CD20 double transgenic mice express huCD3ε on the surface of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in addition to huCD20 on the surface of CD19+ B cells at detectable levels compared to human derived T and B cells. With human CD20 transgenic mice, only rituximab is able to deplete B cells, as CD20 TDB cannot engage murine T cells without human CD3 expression (FIG. 57B). While with human CD3/CD20 double transgenic mice, CD20 TDB is able to engage murine T cells expressing huCD3, and is potent in depleting murine B cells expressing huCD20 (FIG. 57C). CD20 TDB appears to be more potent in depleting B cells in vivo, as fewer B cells are detected in mouse spleens 7 days after a single IV dose of CD20 TDB at 0.5 mg/kg, compared to after a single dose of rituximab at 10 mg/kg. A HER2 TDB, which has the same CD3 arm while with the other arm binds to HER2, was used as an isotype control here, and showed no activity here in cell depletion.

To explore the lowest efficacious dose for CD20 TDB in depleting B cells with human CD3/CD20 double transgenic mice, mice were treated with a single dose of CD20 TDB starting at 0.5 mg/kg down to 0.00005 mg/kg. Then B cell count in blood was monitored on D1 (24 hours after dose), D8, and D15. Decreased B cell count was observed on D1, and B cell depletion was sustained up to D15 following CD20 TDB treatment (FIG. 58A). Consistent with this observation of B cell count in blood, near complete B cell depletion in mouse spleens was achieved at D7 after a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg, while a lower dose of 0.05 mg/kg resulted in spleen B cell depletion partially and approximated an ED50 dose level (FIG. 58B). A time-course study with the double transgenic mice revealed that B cell depletion is near complete in spleens as early as 3 days after single dose treatment at 0.5 mg/kg, without significant sign of B cell recovery until D14 (FIG. 58A). As seen in FIG. 58C, CD20 TDB mediates B cell depletion in the periphery of double transgenic huCD20/huCD3, which is detected in the blood as early as two hours after treatment and maintained for up to seven days post treatment. Furthermore, activated CD8+ and CD4+ T cells are detectable in the blood within two hours of CD20 TDB administration and then decline by two days post-treatment (FIG. 58D).

Further, CD20 TDB depleted marginal zone B cells (MZB) (FIG. 59A and FIG. 59B) as efficiently as follicular B cells (FOB) (FIG. 59A and FIG. 59C) in mouse spleens, after a single IV dose of 0.5 mg/kg. We observed that splenic B cells declined ˜50% from baseline by day 1 (24 hours post dose) and continued to decline rapidly to reach a nadir on day 3 that was maintained throughout the study. This is apparently different from previous report with rituximab, where microenvironment is thought to play a role in rituximab effectiveness, suggesting different mode of action for CD20 TDB in vivo than that for rituximab. Murine T cell activation is usually observed as soon as 30 minutes after CD20 TDB treatment in blood, and mostly within the first 24 hours in spleen (FIGS. 59D and 59E). Following T cell activation, increase in T cell count was observed around D2-D3 (FIGS. 59D and 59E), as a result of cell proliferation. By day 2 the majority of T cells were no longer CD69-positive, although levels of CD69+CD8+ cells continued to range from 10-30% for the remainder of the two week study. However, possibly due to activation induced cell death, T cell count tends to decrease following the expansion phase. T cell count will recover eventually after TDB treatment, suggesting no inhibitory effect of CD20 TDB treatment in murine T cell regeneration.

Humanized NSG mice were also used to further validate CD20 TDB potency in B cell depletion in murine models, and in a repeat dose setting. The actual mice enrolled in the study shown in FIGS. 60A-60D had 35-80% human CD45+ cells in peripheral blood, and the range of CD4+, CD8+, and CD20+ cells were 12-25, 2.1-8.7, and 32-60% respectively (percentage reported as out of viable leukocyte gate). Representative examples of this baseline characterization are shown in FIG. 60E. Levels of CD3 and CD20 target antigens from these mice were compared to that of normal human donors and were found to be not significantly different (FIG. 60F). Shown in FIG. 59, humanized NSG mice were treated with 3 weekly doses of CD20 TDB at 0.5 mg/kg. B cells were depleted in blood at D7, with almost no B cells detected at D21 (FIG. 60A). Robust B cell depletion was also observed in spleens of the TDB treated mice at D21 (FIG. 60B). Furthermore, treatment of humanized NSG mice with CD20 TDB stimulated T cell proliferation and led to B cell depletion as shown in FIG. 60C. For CD8+T cells, their cell counts increased up to 10-fold in blood at D7, and returned to baseline or lower at D14 and D21 (FIG. 60D). Similar trend was also observed for CD4+T cells.

CD20 TDB is Potent in Killing CLL B Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

We also tested CD20 TDB potency in killing B leukemia cells with autologous T cells from CLL patients, where B tumor burden is usually high while T cell count is low and T cell function could be potentially compromised (Riches et al. Semin. Cancer Biol. 20(6): 431-438, 2010). PBMCs isolated from peripheral blood of nine CLL patients were incubated with a single high dose of 1000 ng/mL CD20 TDB for up to 48 hours. As shown in FIG. 61A, CD20 TDB is potent in killing CLL B cells with autologous T cells. For the 2 samples shown, B leukemia tumor burden is 70% with 8.4% CD8+T cells in PBMCs for patient sample #1, and 80% with 4.4% CD8+T cells for patient sample #2. CD20 TDB apparently can achieve efficient B cell killing with very low effector to target ratios (1:8 and 1:18 with the 2 samples shown here). Killing of CLL B cells with autologous T cells by CD20 TDB is highly correlated with CD8+T cell count (FIG. 61B). We found T cell content varied significantly (between 0.4 and 8% of mononuclear cells), and strikingly, we observed that the extent of B cell cytolysis compared to pretreatment values was highly correlated to T cell content. By supplementing purified CD8+T cells to CLL PBMCs, where very few autologous T cells are available, B leukemia cells were efficiently killed by CD20 TDB in a T cell dependent manner (FIG. 61C).

CD20 TDB is also potent in depleting CLL leukemia cells engrafted in mice (FIG. 62A). In brief, NSG mice were grafted with patient leukemia cells subsequent to engraftment of patient-derived autologous activated T cells, and treatment is initiated following confirmed establishment of the leukemic graft. IHC staining of representative examples of mouse spleens showed successful engraftment of B leukemia cells and autologous T cells from CLL patients in NSG mice. After a single dose of CD20-TDB treatment at 0.1 or 0.5 mg/kg, few B cells could be detected. B cell depletion was also observed with rituximab treatment, while no B cell depletion is detected with HER2-TDB as an isotype control. (FIG. 62B).

In the context of tumor progression, CD20 TDB treatment is effective in preventing the growth of B-cell lymphoma tumors in the presence of human donor PBMCs. SCID (severe combined immune deficiency) mice transplanted with human Bjab cells developed detectable tumors when treated with vehicle or CD20 TDB alone by day 12 post-inoculation. Further, transplantation of PBMCs alone delayed tumor outgrowth, but these mice developed detectable tumors by day 25 post-inoculation. Thus, CD20 TDB is also effective in preventing tumor growth in vivo in the presence of PBMC effector cells (FIG. 63).

CD20 TDB Potency Requires Very Low CD20 Expression Level

In addition to the different requirement for antibody Fc region for CD20 TDB activity comparing to conventional anti-CD20, and possibly different dependence on tumor microenvironment, CD20 TDB also appears to require a lower level of antigen expression for efficient B cell killing. For Bjab cells, which have high level of CD20 expression (FIG. 64A), comparable cell killing were accomplished with rituximab and CD20 TDB (FIG. 64B). However, Nalm-6, SC-1, and OCI-Ly19 cells with much reduced level of CD20 expression (FIG. 64A) were only killed by CD20 TDB, while no cell killing was detected with rituximab (FIG. 64C). Estimated CD20 copy number for these CD20-low cell lines is less than 500, based on scatchard and FACS binding data in comparison to BJAB cells (data not shown). In addition, monovalent binding affinity of CD20-TDB for CD20 is ˜50-100 nM, significantly less than 1-5 nM affinity of rituximab (both measured by scatchard). Taken together, the potency of CD20-TDB is consistent with the notion that TCR triggering only requires low receptor occupancy of 10-100 molecules (Purbhoo, M. A., et al. Nat Immunol. 5:524-530, 2004; Irvine, D. J., et al. Nature 419:845-849, 2002; Sykulev, Y., et al. Immunity 4:565-571, 1996).

CD20 TDB is Active in Presence of Rituximab and Steroid

Since rituximab and its combination with chemotherapy are widely used in treating B cell malignancies in the clinic, it's important to explore how CD20 TDB can be used within this context, as CD20 TDB and rituximab both target the same antigen. We took advantage of rituximab-DANA, an effector-less rituximab variant (rituximab containing substitutions of residues 265 and 297 to alanine (DANA mutations described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,332,581 and 8,219,149)), which only binds to CD20 without B cell killing activity, as tested in human CD20/CD3 double transgenic mice (FIG. 64D). Pretreatment of normal donor B-cell target cells with this inert rituximab molecule that competes with CD20-TDB binding had a remarkably minimal effect in blunting the activity of CD20-TDB. At concentrations up to 250 μg/ml rituximab-DANA (a 5000-fold excess over the 42 ng/ml EC50 dose level), we observed only modest shifts in the dose-response curves in vitro (less than 7-fold shift at the EC50, 42 versus 320 ng/ml). Remarkably, CD20 TDB is still active in this setting. Although the EC50 for CD20-TDB was increased up to ˜7-fold with higher rituximab-DANA concentration, the extent of B cell killing is not significantly changed, (FIG. 65A). This is consistent with our previous findings that very low antigen expression level, or very low receptor occupancy, is required for CD20 TDB potency. The in vitro observations were recapitulated in vivo in CD3/CD20 dual transgenic mice which were pretreated with 2 or 10 mg/kg of the rituximab-DANA protein and subsequently challenged with CD20-TDB. Here we show in vivo that CD20 TDB is still active in depleting B cells in mice pre-treated with rituximab-DANA (FIG. 66). These results indicate great versatility in prospective combination therapies for B cell malignancies.

CD20 TDB is a T cell recruiting antibody, and its potency is dependent on activating T cells. It was also explored to see whether steroid pre-treatment, which could potentially impact T cell immune response, would affect CD20 TDB activity. In vitro CD20 TDB was still active in killing B cells in the presence of high concentration of dexamethasone (FIG. 65B).

Pre-Clinical Validation of CD20 TDB as a Potential Therapy for CD20+B Cell Malignancies in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Pilot PKPD study for CD20 TDB was also conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. In a single dose study, where 3 animals were treated once intravenously with 1 mg/kg CD20 TDB, complete B cell depletion were observed in blood (FIG. 67A), as well as in spleens and lymph nodes (FIGS. 67B and 67C), 7 days after antibody treatment. The historic vehicle controls are shown as the mean and standard deviation of 4 vehicle-treated animals (FIG. 67D). No apparent T-cell loss was observed, as both CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells were at comparable or higher level to controls, when calculated as % of lymphocytes. T cell activation was detected in blood 4 hours after dosing. No T cell loss was observed, and apparently higher CD8+T cell count was detected in blood 7 days after treatment (FIG. 67A).

Long-term effect of CD20 TDB treatment on immune cells was also tested with a 4-week repeat dose study followed by an 8-week recovery period. In blood from 4 treated animals with a weekly dose of 1 mg/kg, B and T cell counts, as well as CD20 TDB serum concentration, were measured and plotted for each individual animal over 77 days (FIG. 68A). In all 4 animals, B cells were not detected in blood shortly after treatment, and didn't come back as long as CD20 TDB serum concentration remained above 100 ng/ml (animal 4502 versus animals 4001, 4002, and 4503). CD8+T cell counts, as well as that of CD4+T cells to a lesser extent, significantly increased after the first dose, and gradually returned to within 25-150% of baseline values. Taken together, CD20 TDB is highly active in depleting B cells, without compromising T cells.

The PK property of CD20 TDB was also summarized in FIG. 68B, with CD20 TDB serum concentration measured from both studies. As shown for the repeat-dose study, CD20 TDB maintained good exposure throughout, with CL at about 17 ml/day/kg during the first dose (D0-D7). Target mediated clearance appears to be higher during the first dose (D0-D7), as CL value decreased to about 6 ml/day/kg during the fourth dose (D21-28).

Combination of CD20 TDB with PD-L1 Antagonist in a Syngeneic Tumor Model

In vivo efficacy of a CD20 TDB in combination with a PD-L1 antagonist (a murine IgG2a isotype anti-PD-L1 antibody, 25A1, with DANA mutations) in a syngeneic tumor model was also tested. In this study, A20-huCD20 mouse B lymphoma cells which express human CD20 and mouse PD-L1 on their cell surface were utilized for generating a syngeneic tumor model (see, e.g., FIG. 69A). The CD20 TDB used was a murine IgG2a isotype 2H7v16/2C11 TDB produced in knob-in-hole (K&H) format (see, e.g., Atwell et al., J Mol Biol., 270:26-35, 1997), wherein the “knob” arm is anti-CD20 2H7v16 and the “hole” arm is anti-CD3 2C11 (Leo et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 84:1374-8, 1987). The PD-L1 antagonist used was a murine IgG2a isotype anti-PD-L1 antibody with DANA Fc mutations (substitution of residues 265 and 297 to alanine; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,332,581 and 8,219,149).

On Day −7, 65 Balb/C mice were inoculated subcutaneously into the right unilateral-thoracic area with 2.5 million A20pRK-CD2O-GFP cells in HBSS in a volume of 100 μl (not to exceed 200 μl). The mice were allowed to grow tumors. The mice were then weighed and measured 1-2 times per week until tumors achieved a mean tumor volume of approximately 100-200 mm³(approximately 7 days after inoculation). The animals were then divided into the following four treatment groups: Group 1: 2.5 million A20/CD20, Vehicle, qwx3, IV, n=9; Group 2: 2.5 million A20/CD20, anti-CD20×CD3 K&H TDB (2H7v16-2C11 murine IgG2), 0.5 mg/kg, qwx3, IV, n=9; Group 3: 2.5 million A20/CD20, aPDL1 (25A1, mIgG2a DANA), 10 mg/kg, tiwx3, IP, n=9; and Group 4: 2.5 million A20/CD20, aPDL1 (25A1, mIgG2a DANA), 10 mg/kg, tiwx3, IP+anti-CD20xCD3 K&H TDB (2H7-2C11 murine IgG2), 0.5 mg/kg, qwx3, IV, n=9. Mice not recruited into one of the above treatment groups due to dissimilar tumor volume were euthanized. Treatment began on Day 0, and all antibody dosing was conducted intravenously in a volume of 100 ml as described above.

Tumors were measured 1-2 times per week. Body weights were measured two times per week up to 7 days after the final treatment. If no weight loss was observed, weights were no longer taken. If weight loss was observed to be >15%, affected mice were weighed daily and euthanized if weight loss was greater than or equal to 20%. For the entire study, clinical observations were performed twice per week to monitor the health of the animals, and any animal with a tumor which was of a size or condition that may interfere with the health or activity of the animal was be euthanized.

As depicted in FIG. 69B, the combined treatment of CD20 TDB with anti-PD-L1 antibody (Group 4) exhibited an unexpected and synergistic effect in inhibiting tumor growth when compared to treatment with CD20 TDB, anti-PD-L1 antibody, or vehicle alone.

Combination of CD20 TDB with PD-1 Antagonist in a Syngeneic Tumor Model

Additionally, the in vivo efficacy of a CD20 TDB in combination with a PD-1 antagonist (a murine IgG2 isotype anti-PD1 antibody, 8F11, with DANA mutations) was also tested in the A20/huCD20 syngenic B lymphoma mouse model. In this study, the CD20 TDB used was a murine IgG2a isotype 2H7v16/2C11 TDB, and the PD-1 antagonist used was a murine IgG2 isotype anti-PD-1 antibody with DANA Fc mutations.

A20 mouse B lymphoma cells were transfected to express human CD20 and GFP and subsequently single cell sorted for clonal selection and expansion for implantation. Female Balb/c mice (Charles River; Hollister, CA) 8-10 weeks old were inoculated subcutaneously in the right unilateral thoracic region with 2.5 million A20.hCD20-GFP cells. When tumors reached a mean tumor volume of 100-200 mm³, mice were recruited and randomized into one of four treatment groups (n=9 mice/group) and antibody treatment started on the following day 1: Group 1 (2.5 million A20/CD20, vehicle, qwx3, IV); Group 2 (2.5 million A20/CD20, anti-CD20xCD3 K&H TDB (2H7v16-2C11 murine IgG2), 0.5 mg/kg, qwx3, IV); Group 3 (2.5 million A20/CD20, anti-PD1 (8F11, mIgG2a DANA), 10 mg/kg, tiwx3, IP); and Group 4 (2.5 million A20/CD20, anti-PD1 (8F11, mIgG2a DANA), 10 mg/kg, tiwx3, IP+anti-CD20xCD3 K&H TDB (2H7v16-2C11 murine IgG2), 0.5 mg/kg, qwx3, IV).

The mice were treated with vehicle or CD20 TDB at 0.5 mg/kg weekly IV for 3 weeks, and/or anti-PD-1 antibody at 10 mg/kg IV for the first dose, followed by IP dosing 3 times a week for 3 weeks. (N=9 mice/group)

As depicted in FIGS. 108A and 108B, the combined treatment of CD20 TDB with anti-PD-1 antibody (Group 4) exhibited an unexpected and synergistic effect in inhibiting tumor growth when compared to treatment with CD20 TDB, anti-PD-1 antibody, or vehicle alone.

Example 4. Generation and Characterization of Exemplary CD3/FcRH5 TDBs (FcRH5 TDBs)

We also explored the capacity of TDB antibodies to recruit the cytotoxic activities of T cells in eradicating tumor cells by recognition of a different cell surface antigen, FcRH5. To this end, we generated and characterized bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies having an anti-CD3 arm and an anti-FcRH5 arm (FcRH5 TDBs). As described above, the FcRH5 TDBs were produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format as human IgG1, as previously described (Atwell et al. J. Mol. Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997). Half antibodies were expressed in E. coli, purified by Protein A-affinity chromatography, and the proper half antibody pairs were annealed in vitro as described previously (Spiess et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2013). After annealing, the FcRH5 TDBs were purified by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) and characterized by analytical gel filtration, mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as described above. The anti-FcRH5 arm used in the generation of FcRH5 TDBs was that of anti-FcRH5 antibody 1G7, comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 268 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 269. The anti-CD3 arms tested in the generation of FcRH5 TDBs included UCHT1v9, 40G5c, and 38E4v1.

The specific FcRH5 TDBs were tested for binding to CD8+ T cells (CD3 binding), as well as activity, as assessed by in vitro cytotoxicity assays and T cell activation assays.

A. Binding Affinity

Binding affinities for the each of the FcRH5 TDBs were tested FACS analysis, as described above for the CD20 TDBs. Briefly, for FACS binding assays, CD8+ T cells were incubated with various concentrations of FcRH5 TDB antibodies at 4° C. for 30 minutes, then cells were washed and incubated with 2^ndantibody (anti-huIgG-PE; BD Bioscience) for another 15 minutes, before cells were washed again and ready for FACS analysis. FIG. 70 shows the results of in vitro FACS binding assays of FcRH5 TDBs. The results demonstrate that the particular combination of anti-CD3 antibody arm, 38E4v1, pair with the anti-FcRH5 arm, 1G7, result in an FcRH5 antibody with higher binding affinity for effector cells.

B. In Vitro MOLP-2 Target Cell Killing and T Cell Activation Assays

The generated FcRH5 TDBs were also tested for their ability to support killing of FcRH5-expressing MOLP-2 target cells and the activation of the cytotoxic effect of T cells. In vitro cytotoxicity was monitored by flow cytometery. Target cells were labeled with CFSE according to manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, #034554). The carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled target cells and purified CD8+ T cells from human PBMC were mixed in a 3:1 ratio, with or without TDB for 48 hours. The cells were resuspended in equal volume of PBS+2% FBS+1 mM EDTA+propidium iodine (P1). Flow cytometry analysis was done on a FACSCalibur in automation format. The number of live target cells was counted by gating on CFSE+/PI negative cells. The percentage of cytotoxicity was calculated as follows: % cytotoxicity (live target cell number w/o TDB−live target cell number w/TDB)/(live target cell number w/o TDB)×100. As depicted in FIGS. 71A and 71B, FcRH5 TDBs with UCHT1v9 or 38E4v1 for their anti-CD3 arm showed robust in vitro MOLP-2 target cell killing compared to the FcRH5 TDB having 40G5c as its anti-CD3 arm.

When tested for T cell activation assays, FIGS. 72A-72D show that FcRH5 TDBs with UCHT1v9 or 38E4v1 for their anti-CD3 arm were capable of robustly inducing T cell activity in vitro, compared to the FcRH5 TDB having 40G5c as its anti-CD3 arm. In these assays, target cells and purified CD8+ T cells were mixed in the presence or absence of TDB and T cell activation was analyzed by flow cytometry. At the end of the incubation, cells were stained with CD8-FITC (BD Bioscience, 555634) CD69-PE (BD Bioscience, 555531) and CD107a-Alexa-Fluor647 (eBioscience, 51-1079). Alternatively, after surface stained with CD8-FITC and CD69-PE, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/CytoPerm solution (BD Bioscience, 554722) and intracellular stained with anti-granzyme B-Alexa-Fluor647 (BD Bioscience, 560212). The T cell activation was evaluated by the percentage of CD8+CD69+, CD8+CD107a+, and CD8+CD69+GranzymeB+ cells.

Example 5. Generation and Characterization of Exemplary CD3/HER2 TDBs (HER2 TDBs)

We also explored the capacity of TDB antibodies to recruit the cytotoxic activities of T cells in eradicating tumor cells by recognition of a different cell surface antigen, HER2. To this end, we generated and characterized bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies having an anti-CD3 arm and an anti-HER2 arm (HER2 TDBs). As described above, the HER2 TDBs were produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format as human IgG1, as previously described (Atwell et al. J. Mol. Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997). Half antibodies were expressed in either E. coli or Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by Protein A-affinity chromatography, and the proper half antibody pairs were annealed in vitro as described previously (Spiess et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2013). If TDB antibody production was carried out in CHO cells, the antibody included an aglycosylation mutation, for example, at residue N297 (e.g., N297G), such that the TDB antibody was an effector-less variant and unable to initiate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). After annealing, the HER2 TDBs were purified by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) and characterized by analytical gel filtration, mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as described above. One anti-HER2 arm used in the generation of HER2 TDBs was that of anti-HER2 antibody hu4D5, comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 270 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 271. Additional HER2 TDBs were generated to target different regions of the extracellular domain (ECD) of HER2. An anti-HER2 antibody, 2C4 was used as an anti-Her2 arm comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 593 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 594. Another anti-HER2 antibody used as an anti-HER2 arm was that of anti-HER2 antibody, 7C2 comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 595 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 596. Other anti-HER2 arms used in the generation of HER2 TDBs included hu4D5 affinity variants, hu4D5.91A and hu4D5.Y100A (described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,435,797).

The specific HER2 TDBs were tested for binding to CD8+ T cells (CD3 binding) and SKBR3 cells (Her2 binding), as well as activity, as assessed by in vitro cytotoxicity assays and T cell activation assays.

A. Binding Affinity

Binding affinities for each of the HER2 TDBs were tested by FACS analysis, as described above for the CD20 TDBs. Briefly, for FACS binding assays, Jurkat cells (for CD3 antigen), human CD8+ cells (for CD3 antigen), or SKBR3 (for Her2 antigen) were incubated with various concentrations of HER2 TDB antibodies at 4° C. for 30 minutes, then cells were washed and incubated with 2nd antibody (anti-huIgG-PE, BD Bioscience; or anti-huIgG-AlexaFluor647, Southern Biotech) for another 15 minutes, before cells were washed again and ready for FACS analysis. The geo mean of fluorescence was read by flow cytometry. FIGS. 73, 76A, 78A-78C, 79A, and 80A-80B show the results of in vitro FACS binding assays of HER2 TDBs. Multiple HER2 arms that bind to different regions of HER2 were tested in combination with multiple CD3 arms that bind to various regions of CD3ε to characterize the binding properties of each combination. FIG. 76A provides the crystal structure of the HER2 ECD and that of CD3ε and highlights the regions to which the different HER2 and CD3 arms bind for each. The hu4D5 HER2 antibody is known as trastuzumab and binds to an epitope in domain IV of HER2 that is the protein region closest to the cellular membrane. The recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody 2C4 (rhuMAb 2C4) is also known as pertuzumab that binds to an epitope in domain II of HER2 that is 50 Angstroms from where hu4D5 binds. Pertuzumab (PERJETA®, Genentech, Inc, South San Francisco) represents the first in a new class of agents known as HER dimerization inhibitors (HDI) and functions to inhibit the ability of HER2 to form active heterodimers or homodimers with other HER receptors (such as EGFR/HER1, HER2, HER3 and HER4) (Harari and Yarden. Oncogene 19:6102-6114, 2000; Yarden and Sliwkowski. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2:127-137, 2001; Sliwkowski. Nat. Struct. Biol. 10:158-159, 2003; Cho et al. Nature 421:756-60, 2003; and Malik et al. Pro. Am. Soc. Cancer Res. 44:176-177, 2003). Anti-HER2 murine antibody 7C2 binds to an epitope in domain I of HER2 (PCT Publication No. WO 98/17797) that is 100 Angstroms away from the HER2 region bound by hu4D5 (FIG. 76A).

Additionally, the binding affinity of HER2 TDB was tested with multiple anti-CD3 arms. One of the given anti-HER2 arms was combined with high affinity human CD3 targeting arms such as SP34 and 38E4v1. Other HER2 TDB combinations included the low affinity human CD3 targeting arms 40G5c or the murine CD3 targeting arm of 2C11. UCHT1v9 for its anti-CD3 arm and hu4D5 for its anti-HER2 arm, herein referred to as HER2 TDB (UCHT1v9/hu4D5) or HER2 TDB, was compared to the anti-HER2 antibody, trastuzumab, and the trastuzumab-Fab fragments in a competitive Scatchard assay (Ramirez-Carrozzi et al. Nature Immunology. 12: 1159-1166, 2011). In this assay, binding to SKBR-3 was determined by competition binding of ¹²⁵I-trastuzumab Fab with trastuzumab, trastuzumab-Fab, or bispecific HER2 TDB. FIG. 74A shows the results of the in vitro competitive Scatchard assay of HER2 TDB.

B. In Vitro SKBR3 and MCF7 Target Cell Killing and T Cell Activation Assays

The HER2 TDB combinations of one of the three anti-HER2 arms (hu4D5, 2C4, and 7C2) with either the high affinity 38E4v1 or low affinity 40G5c anti-CD3 arm were tested in vitro for their ability to mediate target cell killing of HER2-expressing SKBR3 or MCF7 cells (FIG. 77). The in vitro activity the hu4D5 TDBs with either anti-CD3 arm proved to be more effective than the 2C4 and 7C2 TDBs in mediating maximal SKBR3 and MCF7 cell killing as measured by their EC50 (FIG. 78). This killing activity was also dependent on the CD3 arm utilized. The combination of the anti-CD3 arm 38E4v1 with any one of the anti-HER2 hu4D5, 2C4, or 7C2 arms was more efficacious than that of the 40G5c HER2 TDB combinations (FIG. 79). Further testing of the 6 HER2 TDB combinations revealed that their target cell killing activity is not dependent on the level of HER2 expression in target cells. FIG. 80 shows that the HER2 TDBs were not selective for high HER2 expressing SKBR3 target cells over low HER2 expressing MCF7 target cells. The activity of the HER2 TDB was instead dependent on the affinity of the anti-HER2 arm for HER2 (FIG. 81). The low HER2 affinity TDBs retained activity on low HER2-expressing MCF7 cells and were not able to selectively kill HER2 amplified SKBR3 cells (FIG. 82).

The HER2 TDBs were also assayed for the specificity of the anti-HER2 arm for their respective HER2 epitopes. The killing activity of the hu4D5-40G5c HER2-TDB was limited when combined with increasing concentrations of Trastuzumab (hu4D5). However, the efficacy of trastuzumab is not affected by the combination of the hu4D5 TDB with the hu4D5 antibody (FIG. 83). By contrast, target cell killing as mediated by 2C4-40G5c or 7C2 38E4v1 as blocked by co-administration of the bivalent monospecific antibodies pertuzumab (2C4) or 7C2, respectively (FIG. 83). When additional anti-HER2 arms were tested in multiple affinity assays, all clones demonstrating high or medium HER2 TDB activity competed with trastuzumab or pertuzumab (FIG. 84). For identification of candidate TDBs to be assayed in vivo, high (38E4v1, 38E4, and SP34) and low (40G5c and 2C11) affinity CD3 arms were tested in vitro with mouse-derived humanized CD3+ T cells in combination with hu4D5, 2C4, and 7C2 anti-HER2 arms (FIGS. 85-86). From this assay, three candidate TDBs were selected based on their killing activity for further characterization in vivo: hu4D5-SP34, hu4D5-2C11, and 2C4-38E4. The treatment of HER2-expressing tumor-bearing animals with the hu4D5-2C11 HER2 TDB resulted in an increase in CD45+ and CD8+ cells in the tumor as early as 4 hours post-treatment. Upon further analysis, HER2-TDB treated tumors revealed an increase in IFNγ+ and PD1+ CD8+ T cells as well as an increased presence of T regulatory (Treg) cells (FIG. 87B). The detection of increased immune infiltrates in tumors was also correlated with a decrease in the tumor volume of HER2-TDB treated animals as compared to vehicle control treatment (FIG. 87A). In FIG. 88A, the anti-HER2 arm hu4D5 combined with the low affinity anti-CD3 arm, 2C11 or high affinity anti-CD3 arm, SP34, both resulted in tumor regression in transgenic HER2 mice. However, this response was not observed with the lower affinity 2C4 anti-HER2 arm combined with the 38E4 high affinity anti-CD3 arm (FIGS. 88A-88B).

HER2 TDB was also compared to bivalent trastuzumab and trastuzumab-Fab fragments for its ability to directly inhibit SKBR3 proliferation. HER2-expressing SKBR3 target cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of 5×10³cells/well and incubated overnight for cell attachment before treatment with the designated antibody or fragment antibody. Cell proliferation/viability was analyzed after 6 days of treatment by CELLTITERGLO® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, Madison, Wis.). The results of this assay are shown in FIG. 74B. Additionally, an in vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed with trastuzumab, trastuzumab produced in E. coli, and HER2 TDB to measure their ability to induce NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) (Jefferis Trends in Pharmacological sciences. 30: 356-362, 2009; Simmons et al. Journal of Immunological Methods. 263: 133-147, 2002). Antibodies produced in E. coli are not glycosylated, which results in impaired FcγR binding, which is required to mediate ADCC. The cytotoxicity assay was performed as in Junttila et al. (Cancer Research. 70: 4481-4489, 2010) with a Cytotoxicity Detection Kit; LDH (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Briefly, lysed cells were detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release following 4 hours of treatment with the specified antibody. The results are shown in FIG. 74C.

The generated HER2 TDBs were also tested for their ability to support killing of HER2-expressing SKBR3 target cells and the activation of the cytotoxic effect of T cells. In vitro cytotoxicity was monitored by flow cytometry. Target cells were labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) according to manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, #034554). The CFSE-labeled target cells and purified CD8+ T cells from human PBMC were mixed in certain E:T ratio (as indicated in figure legends), with or without TDB for 24 hours. At the end of the incubation, the cells were lifted by trypsin and collected from the plate. The cells were resuspended in equal volume of PBS+2% FBS+1 mM EDTA+propidium iodine (PI). Flow cytometry analysis was done on a FACSCalibur in automation format. The number of live target cells was counted by gating on CFSE+/PI negative cells. The percentage of cytotoxicity was calculated as follows: % cytotoxicity (live target cell number w/o TDB—live target cell number w/TDB)/(live target cell number w/o TDB)×100. As depicted in FIG. 75, HER2 TDB showed robust in vitro SKBR3 target cell killing compared to the HER2 TDB having either hu4D5 affinity variant 91A or Y100A as its anti-HER2 arm (EC50 of hu4D5/UCHT1v9 TDB=0.1 ng/ml; hu4D5.91A/UCHT1v9 TDB=25.5 ng/ml; hu4D5.Y100A/UCHT1v9 TDB=not able to be determined).

Additionally, the binding affinity of anti-HER2 hu4D5 variant (0.4 nM) to the HER2 extracellular domain (ECD) is higher than the HER2 arms 204 (2.0 nM) and 702 (1.7 nM), which is shown in FIG. 76B. Furthermore, FIG. 76C shows the hu4D5 HER2-TDB is a more potent mediator of MCF7 target cell killing than the 204 HER2-TDB and the 702 HER2-TDB. The kinetics of the killing induced by HER2 TDB were additionally assayed. As seen in FIG. 94A, no significant killing activity was detected at 4-12 hours. Robust killing was detected at 24 hours and killing activity increased over time. As shown in FIGS. 90A-90C and 92C, further comparison of anti-CD3 arms of the hu4D5 HER2-TDB demonstrated the effectiveness of the differing clones in mediating the killing of HER2-expressing SKBR3 cells. In particular, two HER2 TDBs, hu4D5/38E4c and hu4D5/40G5c, were surprisingly as effective or better in mediating target cell killing than the HER2 TDB hu4D5/SP34 (FIGS. 90B and 90C).

When tested for T cell activation assays, FIG. 89 shows that HER2 TDB was capable of robustly inducing T cell activity in vitro, compared to the HER2 TDB having either hu4D5 affinity variant 91A or Y100A as its anti-HER2 arm. Three anti-CD3 arms (SP34, 38E4c, and 40G5c) of the hu4D5 HER2-TDB assayed displayed differing binding affinities for the CD3 antigen on human CD8+ T cells, as seen in FIG. 91A. Nonetheless, all three HER2-TDBs were able to mediate CD8+ T-cell activation (FIG. 91B). Additional analysis of the ability of the 38E4 and 38E4c anti-CD3 arms of the hu4D5 HER2-TDB to mediate CD8+ T cell activation is shown in FIG. 92D. The kinetics of the T cell activation induced by HER2 TDB was further assayed. Early signs of T cell activation (CD69) appeared 4h after HER2 TDB treatment was initiated. However, late activation markers (extracellular CD107a) were detected later at the 24 hour time point (FIG. 94A). Additionally, T cell activation was not detected after 48 hours when CD8+ cells were incubated with HER2 TDB or target cells that do not express human HER2 (BJAB cells). A robust T cell activation was seen when HER2+ SKBR3 cells were used as targets accompanied by release of cytotoxic granules (FIG. 93A).

We also tested the ability of HER2 TDB to induce killing of BT474 target cells and activate T cells was assayed for the following five ratios of effector CD8+ T cells to target cells: 1:5, 1:2, 1:1, 3:1, and 5:1. This experiment reveals the cytotoxicity measured by LDH release was significantly reduced by effector cell titration; however even with an E:T ratio of: ≤1, a weak LDH signal and robust activation of T cells was detected (FIG. 94B).

In these assays, target cells and purified CD8+ T cells were mixed in the presence or absence of TDB and T cell activation was analyzed by flow cytometry. At the end of the incubation, cells were stained with CD8-FITC (BD Bioscience, 555634) CD69-PE (BD Bioscience, 555531) and CD107a-Alexa-Fluor647 (eBioscience, 51-1079). Optionally, cells were stained with CD8-FITC and CD69-PE, where T cell activation was evaluated by the percentage of CD8+CD69+ in CD8+ cells. Alternatively, after surface stained with CD8-FITC and CD69-PE, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/CytoPerm solution (BD Bioscience, 554722) and intracellular stained with anti-granzyme B-Alexa-Fluor647 (BD Bioscience, 560212). The T cell activation was evaluated by the percentage of CD8+CD107a+ cells.

Another measure for T cell-mediated cytotoxicity for HER2 TDB (UCHT1v9/hu4D5) measured is a granule exocytosis assay. FIG. 93B shows the results for soluble perforin (Cell Sciences), granzyme A and granzyme B (eBioscience) detected from growth media by ELISA according to manufacturer's protocols. In this assay, a control TDB (10 ng/ml), one that shares the same CD3-arm as HER2 TDB but has an irrelevant target arm, or HER2 TDB (10 ng/ml) was utilized. The antibodies were individually incubated for 18 hours with SKBR3 target cells and effector peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which were separated from the blood of healthy volunteers using lymphocyte separation medium (MP Biomedicals, Solon, Ohio). In vitro cytotoxicity was measured by LDH release as described above. A series of apoptotic assays were performed with HER2 TDB (1 ng/ml), effector PBMCs, and SKBR3 target cells. After 24 hours of treatment, granule exocytosis coincided with significant HER2 TDB induced elevation of caspase 3/7 activity (CASPASE-GLO® 3/7 assay, Promega), apoptosis (Cell Death Detection ELISA^plusassay, Roche) and cytotoxicity as measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, which is described above (FIG. 93C).

The ability of HER2 TDB to induce killing of HER2 or vector-transfected 3T3 cells was measured by the aforementioned LDH cytotoxicity assay, where no killing of vector-transfected 3T3-cells was detected after 19 hours; in contrast, the HER2 transfected 3T3-cells were very efficiently killed (FIG. 93D). The killing assay was modified to block the HER2 arm binding using trastuzumab Fab (1 μg/ml) or soluble HER2 extracellular domain (HER2 ECD) (1 μg/ml) and resulted in the efficient inhibition of the killing activity after 24 hours (FIG. 93E). To confirm T cell dependence of killing, CD3+ cells were depleted from the PBMC using CD3+ MicroBeads from Miltenyi (#130-050-101). FIG. 93F shows the depletion resulted in loss of target cell killing activity after 19 hours as assessed by FACS analysis in the presence of HER2 TDB.

HER2 TDB induces T cell proliferation

To investigate whether HER2 TDB induces T cell proliferation, CD8+ T cells, target cells (SKBR3) and 0.1 μg/ml HER2 TDB were co-cultured, followed by T cell culture in absence of target cells and HER2 TDB. Proliferation of T cells was measured at day 3 by flow cytometry as a dilution of CFSE in CD8+/PI-cells with cell divisions. After 3 days, 75% of the T cells pulsed with HER2 TDB and target cells had undergone a cell division as shown in FIG. 95A. HER2 TDB induced T cell number was assayed for by labeling purified CD8+ T cells with CFSE according to the manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, #034554). CFSE-labeled CD8+ T cells were incubated with target cells in the presence or absence of TDB for 19 hours. T cells were collected, washed, and cultured for 2-7 days (RPMI+10% FBS). Live CD8+ cell number (CD8+/PI−) and the percentage of CFSE dim cells was detected by FACS. In FIG. 95B, the cell number did not increase. Further supplementing the growth media with IL-2 (20 ng/ml) provided a survival signal to CD8+ cells, and a robust T cell proliferation was detected in the T cells, but only if they were exposed to both HER2 TDB and target cells (FIG. 95C). Importantly, no bystander effect on non-target expressing cells was detected in conditions where most HER2+ cells in the same culture were killed. HER2 TDB induced proliferation and polyclonal expansion of T cells, which may be critical for amplification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

HER2 TDB Activity Correlates with the Target Cell HER2 Expression Level

To investigate the relationship between target copy number and TDB activity, a panel of cancer cell lines with pre-determined number of HER2-receptors on the cell membrane was selected (Aguilar et al. Oncogene. 18:6050-62, 1999). HER2 protein expression levels in a HER2 negative cell line (BJAB LUC), 3 HER2 low cell lines (MDA435, MDA231, MCF7), and 3 HER2 amplified/overexpressing cell lines (MD453, SKBR3, BT474) were detected by Western blot (FIG. 96A). HER2-negative, HER2-low, and HER2-overexpressing cell lines were incubated with HER2 TDB and with effector PBMCs at a ratio of E:T 25:1 for 26 hours. At this timepoint, cytotoxicity was detected using the LDH release assay. FIG. 96B shows the HER2 amplified/overexpressing cells were significantly more sensitive to the TDB mediated killing (p=0.015, t-test) and were efficiently lysed at femtomolar to low picomolar concentrations (EC50=0.8-3 pM). Cell lines expressing low levels of HER2 were significantly less sensitive to HER2 TDB antibody (EC50=33-51 pM). As low as <1000 copies of target antigen was sufficient to support T cell killing.

For the studies performed in FIGS. 96C-96D, the MCF7cell line or the BJAB cell line was co-targeted with SKBR3 cells in the presence of HER2 TDB in the same killing assay. In this assay, MCF7 or BJAB cells were labeled with CFSE and mixed with SKBR3 and PBMC (E:T 20:1) followed by 19 hours treatment with HER2 TDB. Cells were stained with anti-HER2 APC and PI. FIG. 96C shows the percentage of living SKBR3 (HER2 high, PI−) and MCF7 (CFSE+. PI−) cells detected by FACS and normalized to fluorescent beads. No killing of MCF7 cells was detectable at the EC50 for SKBR3 killing. The percentage of living SKBR3 (HER2 high, PI−) and BJAB (CFSE+ PI−) cells detected by FACS and normalized to fluorescent beads is shown. No significant killing of BJAB cells was detectable at any HER2 TDB concentration (FIG. 96D).

Very Low Target Occupancy is Sufficient for TDB Activity

Next, the HER2 occupancy at EC50 for HER2 TDB was calculated using formula [D]/[D]+K_D(where the D=drug and K_Dfor HER2 TDB was 5.4 nM). HER2 copy number was previously reported (Aguilar et al. Oncogene. 18: 6050-6062, 1999). EC50 values were calculated from dose response data in FIG. 97B. FIG. 96E shows that in all tested cell lines less than 1% target occupancy was sufficient for efficient killing. In the case of the high HER2 expressing cell lines, the required occupancy was even lower (0.01-0.05%). The calculated absolute number of HER2 TDB bound to HER2 at the EC50 was as low as 10-150 in the low expressing cell lines. These results showcase the extreme potency of HER2 TDB and are consistent with studies of TCR triggering, which suggest as few as 1-25 TCRs need to be engaged to trigger T cell responses (Irvine et al. Nature. 419: 845-849, 2002; Purbhoo et al. Nature Immunology. 5: 524-530, 2004; Sykulev et al. Immunity. 4: 565-571, 1996). The potency of HER2 TDB was consistently in the low picomolar to femtomolar range. Furthermore, as few as 10-500 HER2-bound TDBs were sufficient to induce significant in vitro cytotoxicity. As few as ˜1000 copies of HER2 on the plasma membrane were sufficient to induce killing. These studies also demonstrated a correlation between target expression levels and in vitro sensitivity to HER2 TDB.

HER2 TDB is Efficient in Killing of HER2+ Cancer Cells Refractory to Anti-HER2 Therapies

Next, cell lines that have previously been shown to express high levels of HER2 but are insensitive to the direct cellular effects of trastuzumab and lapatinib in vitro were examined (Junttila et al., Cancer Cell, 15:429-40, 2009; Junttila et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2010). For some cell lines, activation of the PI3K pathway due to acquired activating mutations in the PI3K catalytic subunit (KPL4, HCC202) or by PTEN loss (HCC1596) may cause resistance. A panel of six cell lines (5 breast, 1 lung) was assayed for LDH release as a measure of cytotoxicity in the presence of effector PBMCs at a ratio of 10:1 and HER2 TDB for 19 hours. The EC50 for HER2 TDB mediated killing was in the femtomolar or low picomolar range (FIG. 97A). Parental and T-DM1 resistant BT474-M1 clones were treated with T-DM1 for 3 days. At this timepoint, cell viability was measured using CELLTITERGLO® (FIG. 97B). Sensitivity of the cell lines to T-DM1 has been previously reported (Junttila et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2010; Lewis Phillips et al. Cancer Research. 68: 9280-9290, 2008). By comparison, parental and T-DM1 resistant BT474-M1 clones were treated with HER2 TDB in the presence of effectors CD8+ T cells at a ratio of 3:1 for 24 hours. Cytotoxicity was detected using FACS assay (FIG. 97C). In addition, HER2 TDB was effective in killing HER2+ lung cancer cells. Using two independent cell line models KPL4 and BT474, (FIG. 97B-97C), acquired resistance to T-DM1 did not affect the sensitivity to HER2 TDB.

Recruitment of T cell killing activity with HER2 TDB is dependent on HER2 expression, but independent of HER2 signaling pathway, which suggests that HER2 TDB may be efficient in treatment of tumors that are refractory to current anti-HER2 therapies. In accordance, data demonstrated equal activity in treatment of multiple trastuzumab/lapatinib resistant cell lines compared to sensitive cells. Resistance in these cells is generated by various mechanisms affecting HER2 pathway. Data presented here suggest that switching to alternative mechanism of action by using HER2 TDB may broadly enable overcoming resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., T-DM1), targeted small molecule inhibitors (e.g., lapatinib) and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that block the pathway signaling (e.g., trastuzumab).

Pharmacokinetics of HER2 TDB in Rat

To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of HER2 TDB, Sprague-Dawley rats were utilized. Animals were separated into the following two groups: Group 1: HER2 TDB (10 mg/kg, single IV, n=4); Group 2: trastuzumab (10 mg/kg, single IV, n=4). Samples were taken from 4 rats per group at time points through 35 days post dose. Approximately 0.2 ml of whole blood was collected via the jugular vein (under CO₂/O₂anesthesia). The samples were allowed to clot and centrifuged under refrigeration (5° C. for 10 minutes at 2000×g) to obtain serum. Serum samples were assayed for human IgG by ELISA, where Donkey anti-huFc coated to microtiter plate was used to capture the humanized anti HER2 antibodies in circulation and goat anti-huFc-HRP (mouse adsorbed) for detection. PK parameters were determined with a 2-compartment method (Model 7) using WINNONLIN®, version 5.2.1 (Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, Calif.). HER2 TDB does not cross react with rat CD3 or rat HER2 and displayed a biphasic disposition typical of an IgG1 with a short distribution phase and slow elimination phase (FIG. 98). Both the clearance and half-life of HER2 TDB were similar to trastuzumab, and within expected range of a typical IgG1 in rats.

HER2 TDB Inhibits Tumor Growth In Vivo in Immuno-Compromised Mice

In vivo efficacy of HER2 TDB was tested in NOD-SCID mice, which lack endogenous functional T and B cells and have reduced levels of NK, DC, and macrophage cell types. In this experiment, NOD/SCID mice (NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J, Jackson Labs West) were implanted with 0.36 mg, 60 day sustained release estrogen pellets (Innovative Research of America) 1 to 3 days prior to cell inoculation, subcutaneously over the opposite flank of tumor inoculation. On Day 0, 5×10⁶MCF7-neo/HER2 cells were injected either alone or together with 10×10⁶unstimulated human PBMC from one of two healthy donors (PBMC 1, 2) in HBSS-matrigel in the right 2/3 mammary fat-pad. Inoculated mice were divided into the following five groups: Group 1: Vehicle (control TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=5-10); Group 2: PBMC(1) (PBMC (1)+control TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=5-10); Group 3: PBMC (1)+HER2 TDB (PBMC (1)+HER2 TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=5-10); Group 4: PBMC(2) (PBMC (2)+control TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=5-10); and Group 5: PBMC (2)+HER2 TDB (PBMC (2)+HER2 TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=5-10). The first treatments were administered 2 hours post-inoculation. Tumor volumes from individual mice and fitted tumor volumes of treatment groups are presented in FIG. 99A, where HER2 TDB prevented growth of HER2 expressing tumors.

The dependency of HER2 TDB on human PBMCs was further tested in a similar immune-compromised mouse model. Again, 5×10⁶MCF7-neo/HER2 cells were injected either alone or together with 10×10⁶unstimulated human PBMC from a healthy donor (PBMC 3) in HBSS-matrigel in the right 2/3 mammary fat-pad, and the first treatments were administered 2 hours post-inoculation. In FIG. 100A, inoculated mice were divided into the following two groups: Group 1: Untreated (n=7); Group 2: HER2 TDB (HER2 TDB, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=7). In FIG. 100B, inoculated mice were divided into the following three groups: Group 1: Untreated (n=7); Group 2: PBMC(3) (PBMC (3)+vehicle, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=7); Group 3: PBMC(3)+control TDB (PBMC(3)+control TDB-2C11, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=7). The resulting tumor volume measurements reveal no effect on the tumor growth in control TDB-treated animals.

HER2 TDB Causes Regression of Large Mammary Tumors in huHER2 Transgenic Mice

To model the activity of HER2 TDB in immuno-competent mice, human MMTV-huHER2 transgenic mice were used (Finkle et al. Clinical Cancer Research. 10: 2499-2511; 2004), and a surrogate HER2 TDB comprising a murine IgG2A CD3 reactive antibody clone 2C11 (Leo et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 84: 1374-1378, 1987) was generated to avoid immune response towards the TDB. For expression as mulgG2a, equivalent knob-into-hole mutations (Atwell et al. J Mol Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997) were introduced into the Fc region, as well as D265A and N297G (EU numbering) to abolish effector function. In mulgG2a HER2 TDBs the “knob” arm is murine anti-HER2 hu4D5 and the “hole” is either chimeric anti-murine CD3 2C11 (Leo et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 84: 1374-1378, 1987) (TDB 2C11/hu4D5) or mouse anti-hu CD3 SP34 (Pessano et al. The EMBO Journal. 4: 337-344, 1985) (TDB SP34/hu4D5). The mulgG2a bispecific antibodies were expressed in CHO cells and assembled by in vitro assembly. Bispecific antibodies were purified from contaminants by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) as described elsewhere (Speiss et al. Nat Biotechnology. 31: 753-758, 2013). The resulting material was analyzed for endotoxin levels using an ENDOSAFE® portable test system (Charles River, USA) and when needed, the endotoxin content was reduced by washing the protein with 0.1% TRITON™ X-114. The in vitro activity of hu4D5/2C11-TDB was similar to human CD3 reactive HER2 TDB (FIG. 101).

In FIGS. 99B-99D, MMTV-huHER2 transgenic animals with established mammary tumors were divided into the following two groups: Group 1: Vehicle (0.5 mg/kg, qwk×5, IV, starting on day 0, n=7); and Group 2: HER2 TDB (HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×5, IV, starting on day 0, n=7). FIG. 99B shows regression was detected in 57% mice and 43% mice had no detectable tumor following treatment. FIG. 99C shows HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5) resulted in more than 50% tumor regression, with the exception of one tumor. Responders included tumors that were >1000 mm³at the start of the treatment as observed in FIG. 99D. In a similar experiment two control TDBs were utilized where one is a CD3-arm control TDB, one with the murine specific CD3 arm switched to the human specific CD3 arm (HER2 TDB (SP34/hu4D5)), and one is a control TDB, one that shares the same CD3-arm as HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5) but has an irrelevant target arm (CTRL TDB-2C11). In FIG. 99E, MMTV-huHER2 transgenic animals with established mammary tumors were divided into the following two groups: Group 1: CD3-arm control TDB (HER2 TDB (SP34/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×5, IV, starting on day 0, n=5); and Group 2: control TDB (control TDB-2C11, 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×5, IV, starting on day 0, n=5). The growth of MMTV-huHER2 transgenic tumors was not affected by control TDBs.

The HER2 TDB was further tested for in vivo efficacy in huCD3 transgenic mice. Human CD3ε transgenic mice have been previously described ((huCD3 transgenic), de la Hera et al. J Exp Med. 173: 7-17, 1991). In this study, 0.1 million CT26-HER2 cells were injected subcutaneously into huCD3 transgenic mice. Once the CT26-HER2 tumors were established, animals were divided into the following two groups: Group 1: Vehicle (0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0,n=7); Group 2: HER2 TDB (HER2 TDB (SP34/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=7). HER2 TDB inhibited the growth of established tumors, but the effect was transient and no complete responses were seen (FIG. 99F). The study demonstrated the potent in vivo activity of HER2 TDB, including dramatic responses in MMTV-huHER2 transgenic mice.

In a similar experiment, in vivo efficacy of the mouse reactive HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5) was tested in Balb/c mice. Again, syngeneic tumors were established in Balb/c mice by injecting 1×10⁵CT26-HER2 cells subcutaneously. Tumor-bearing animals were divided into one of the following four groups: Group 1: Vehicle (0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0,n=10); Group 2: HER2 TDB (HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=10); Group 3: control TDB (CTRL TDB (2011/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=10); and Group 4: TDM-1 (TDM-1, 15 mg/kg, qwk×3, IV, starting on day 0, n=10). FIG. 99G shows that despite incomplete responses, HER2 TDB significantly prolonged the time to tumor progression (Log-Rank p-value <0.0001). By contrast, the control TDB with an irrelevant tumor arm had no effect on tumor growth. In addition, the tumors were insensitive to TDM-1.

HER2 TDB Inhibits Growth of Established Tumors in Immuno-Competent Mice

Human CD3ε transgenic mice (de la Hera et al. J Exp Med. 173: 7-17, 1991) were used to model the activity of HER2 TDB in immuno-competent mice. In this experiment, huCD3 transgenic T cells were extracted from spleens of huCD3 transgenic and BALB/c mice or from the peripheral blood of healthy human donors. Cells were stained with mouse or human CD8 and either human CD3 (clone UCHT1) in FIG. 101A or mouse CD3 (clone 2011) in FIG. 101B. CD8+ cells were detected by flow cytometry. FIG. 101A shows huCD3 transgenic T cells express human CD3 at approximately 50% of the level of human T cells, and FIG. 101B shows huCD3 transgenic T cells express murine CD3 at approximately 50% of the level of BALB/c mice.

Next, huCD3 transgenic T cells were assayed for their ability to kill human HER2 expressing CT26 target cells in vitro. In this study, T cells were extracted from spleens of huCD3 transgenic mice, BALB/c mice or from peripheral blood from healthy human donors. In vitro killing activity of CT26-HER2 cells was tested using human CD3-specific HER2 TDB (UCHT1v9/hu4D5) in FIG. 102A or mouse CD3-specific HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5) in FIG. 102B. Effector T cells were added at a ratio of 20:1 to target cells in the presence of the designated HER2 TDB for 40 hours. In vitro cytotoxicity was monitored by flow cytometry. Although killing activity of mouse splenic T cells (EC50=2.4 ng/ml) was consistently lower compared to human peripheral T cells (EC50=0.4 ng/ml), huCD3 transgenic T cells killed human HER2 expressing target cells in vitro as seen in FIG. 102A. The mouse specific HER2 TDB (2011/hu4D5) induced target cell killing by T cells from both huCD3 transgenic (EC50=11 ng/ml) and BALB/c (EC50=10 ng/ml) mice as seen in FIG. 102B.

The T cell dependency of the anti-tumor activity of HER2 TDB was further assayed in a syngeneic tumor model. As described above, 1×10⁵CT26-HER2 cells were injected subcutaneously into BALB/c mice. Mice with established tumors were divided into one of following two groups: Group 1: Vehicle (n=10); Group 2: HER2 TDB (SP34/hu4D5) (HER2 TDB (SP34/hu4D5), 0.5 mg/kg, qwx3, IV, n=10). FIG. 103 shows the activity of HER2 TDB was dependent on T cells, since HER2 TDB had no effect in non-huCD3 transgenic mice. This study demonstrated huCD3 transgenic mice can be used as a novel efficacy model for the huCD3 targeting molecules.

Example 6. Generation and Characterization of Exemplary CD3/LYPD1 TDBs (LYPD1 TDBs)

We also explored the capacity of TDB antibodies to recruit the cytotoxic activities of T cells in eradicating tumor cells by recognition of a different cell surface antigen, LYPD1. To this end, we generated and characterized bispecific anti-CD3 antibodies having an anti-CD3 arm and an anti-LYPD1 arm (LYPD1 TDBs). As described above, the LYPD1 TDBs were produced as full-length antibodies in the knob-into-hole format as human IgG1, as previously described (Atwell et al. J. Mol. Biol. 270: 26-35, 1997). Half antibodies were expressed in either E. coli or Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by Protein A-affinity chromatography, and the proper half antibody pairs were annealed in vitro as described previously (Spiess et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2013). If TDB antibody production was carried out in CHO cells, the antibody included an aglycosylation mutation, for example, at residue N297 (e.g., N297G), such that the TDB antibody was an effector-less variant and unable to initiate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). After annealing, the LYPD1 TDBs were purified by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) and characterized by analytical gel filtration, mass spectrometry, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as described above. The anti-LYPD1 arm used in the generation of LYPD1 TDBs was that of anti-LYPD1 antibody YWO.49.H6, comprising (a) a VH domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 272 and (b) a VL domain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 273. The anti-CD3 arms tested in the generation of LYPD1 TDBs included UCHT1v9, 40G5, SP34, and 38E4v1.

The specific HER2 TDBs were tested for binding to CD8+ T cells (CD3 binding), as well as activity, as assessed by in vitro cytotoxicity assays and T cell activation assays.

A. Binding Affinity

Binding affinities for the each of the LYPD1 TDBs were tested FACS analysis, as described above for the CD20 TDBs. Briefly, for FACS binding assays, CD8+ T cells were incubated with various concentrations of LYPD1 TDB antibodies at 4° C. for 30 minutes, then cells were washed and incubated with 2^ndantibody (anti-huIgG-PE; BD Bioscience) for another 15 minutes, before cells were washed again and ready for FACS analysis. FIG. 104 shows the results of in vitro FACS binding assays of LYPD1 TDBs. The binding studies showed that LYPD1 TDBs having either UCHT1v9 or 38E4v1 as their anti-CD3 arm demonstrated a higher binding affinity for result effector cells.

B. In Vitro OVCAR3.Luc Target Cell Killing and T Cell Activation Assays

The generated LYPD1 TDBs were also tested for their ability to support killing of LYPD1-expressing OVCAR3.Luc target cells and the activation of the cytotoxic effect of T cells. In vitro cytotoxicity was monitored by flow cytometry. Target cells were labeled with CFSE according to manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, #034554). The carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled target cells and purified CD8+ T cells from human PBMC were mixed in a 3:1 ratio, with or without TDB for 48 hours. The cells were resuspended in equal volume of PBS+2% FBS+1 mM EDTA+propidium iodine (P1). Flow cytometry analysis was done on a FACSCalibur in automation format. The number of live target cells was counted by gating on CFSE+/PI negative cells. The percentage of cytotoxicity was calculated as follows: % cytotoxicity (live target cell number w/o TDB—live target cell number w/TDB)/(live target cell number w/o TDB)×100. As depicted in FIG. 105, LYPD1 TDBs with UCHT1v9, 38E4v1, or SP34 for their anti-CD3 arm showed robust in vitro OVCAR3.Luc target cell killing compared to the LYPD1 TDB having 40G5 as its anti-CD3 arm.

When tested for T cell activation assays, FIG. 106 shows that LYPD1 TDBs with 38E4v1, and, to a lesser extent, UCHT1v9 and SP34, for their anti-CD3 arm were capable of robustly inducing T cell activity in vitro, compared to the LYPD1 TDB having 40G5c as its anti-CD3 arm. In these assays, target cells and purified CD8+ T cells were mixed in the presence or absence of TDB and T cell activation was analyzed by flow cytometry. At the end of the incubation, cells were stained with CD8-FITC (BD Bioscience, 555634) CD69-PE (BD Bioscience, 555531) and CD107a-Alexa-Fluor647 (eBioscience, 51-1079). Alternatively, after surface stained with CD8-FITC and CD69-PE, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/CytoPerm solution (BD Bioscience, 554722) and intracellular stained with anti-granzyme B-Alexa-Fluor647 (BD Bioscience, 560212). The T cell activation was evaluated by the percentage of CD8+CD69+ and CD8+CD25+ cells.
