The sequence listing is being submitted as a text file and as a PDF file in compliance with applicable requirements for electronic filing. The sequence listing was created on June 12, 2007. The sequence listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
In a healthy mammal, the immune system protects the body from damage from foreign substances and pathogens. In some instances though, the immune system goes awry, producing traumatic insult and/or disease. For example, B-cells can produce antibodies that recognize self-proteins rather than foreign proteins, leading to the production of the autoantibodies characteristic of autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and the like. In other instances, the typically beneficial effect of the immune system in combating foreign materials is counterproductive, such as following organ transplantation. The power of the mammalian immune system, and in particular the human immune system, has been recognized and efforts have been made to control the system to avoid or ameliorate the deleterious consequences to health that result either from normal functioning of the immune system in an abnormal environment (e.g., organ transplantation) or from abnormal functioning of the immune system in an otherwise apparently normal environment (e.g., autoimmune disease progression). Additionally, efforts have been made to exploit the immune system to provide a number of target-specific diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies, relying on the capacity of antibodies to specifically recognize and bind antigenic targets with specificity,
One way in which the immune system protects the body is by production of specialized cells called B lymphocytes or B-cells. B-cells produce antibodies that bind to, and in some cases mediate destruction of, a foreign substance or pathogen. In some instances though, the human immune system, and specifically the B lymphocytes of the human immune system, go awry and disease results. There are
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 numerous cancers that involve uncontrolled proliferation of B-cells. There are also numerous autoimmune diseases that involve B-cell production of antibodies that, instead of binding to foreign substances and pathogens, bind to parts of the body. In addition, there are numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that involve B5 cells in their pathology, for example, through inappropriate B-cell antigen presentation to T-cells or through other pathways involving B-cells. For example, autoimmune-prone mice deficient in B-cells do not develop autoimmune kidney disease, vasculitis or autoantibodies. (Shlomchik et al., J Exp. Med. 1994, 180:1295306). Interestingly, these same autoimmune-prone mice which possess B-cells but are deficient in immunoglobulin production, do develop autoimmune diseases when induced experimentally (Chan et al., J Exp. Med. 1999, 189:1639-48), indicating that B-cells play an integral role in development of autoimmune disease.
B-cells can be identified by molecules on their cell surface. CD20 was the first human B-cell lineage-specific surface molecule identified by a monoclonal antibody. It is a non-glycosylated, hydrophobic 35 kDa B-cell transmembrane phosphoprotein that has both its amino and carboxy ends situated inside the cell. Einfeld et al., EMBO J. 1988,7:711-17. CD20 is expressed by all normal mature Bcells, but is not expressed by precursor B-cells or plasma cells. Natural ligands for CD20 have not been identified, and the function of CD20 in B-cell biology is still incompletely understood.
Another B-cell lineage-specific cell surface molecule is CD37. CD37 is a heavily glycosylated 40-52 kDa protein that belongs to the tetraspanin transmembrane family of cell surface antigens. It traverses the cell membrane four times forming two extracellular loops and exposing its amino and carboxy ends to the cytoplasm. CD37 is highly expressed on normal antibody-producing (s!g+)B-cells, but is not expressed on pre-B-cells or plasma cells. The expression of CD37 on resting and activated T cells, monocytes and granulocytes is low and there is no detectable CD37 expression on NK. cells, platelets or erythrocytes. See, Belov et al,, Cancer Res., 61(11 ):44834489 (2001); Schwartz-Albiez et al., J. Immunol., 140(3): 905-914 (1988); and Link et al,, J. Immunol., 137(9): 3013-3018 (1988). Besides normal B-cells, almost all malignancies of B-cell origin are positive for CD37 expression, including CLL, NHL, and hairy cell leukemia (Moore, et al. 1987; Merson and Brochier 1988; Faure, et al.
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052

1990). CD37 participates in regulation of B-cell function, since mice lacking CD37 were found to have low levels of serum IgGl and to be impaired in their humoral response to viral antigens and model antigens. It appears to act as a nonclassical costimulatory molecule or by directly influencing antigen presentation via complex formation with MHC class II molecules. See Knobeloch et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 20(15):5363-5369 (2000).
Research and drug development has occurred based on the concept that B-cell lineage-specific cell surface molecules such as CD37 and CD20 can themselves be targets for antibodies that would bind to, and mediate destruction of, cancerous and autoimmune disease-causing B-cells that have CD37 and CD20 on their surfaces. Termed immunotherapy, antibodies made (or based on antibodies made) in a nonhuman animal that bind to CD37 or CD20 were given to a patient to deplete cancerous or autoimmune disease-causing B-cells.
Monoclonal antibody technology and genetic engineering methods have facilitated development of immunoglobulin molecules for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The domain structure of immunoglobulins is amenable to engineering, in that the antigen binding domains and the domains conferring effector functions may be exchanged between immunoglobulin classes and subclasses. Immunoglobulin structure and function are reviewed, for example, in Harlow et al.,
Eds., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Chapter 14, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor (1988). An extensive introduction as well as detailed information about all aspects of recombinant antibody technology can be found in the textbook “Recombinant Antibodies” (John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1999). A comprehensive collection of detailed antibody engineering lab Protocols can be found in R,
Kontermann and S. Dtibel (eds.), “The Antibody Engineering Lab Manual” (Springer Verlag, Heidelberg/New York, 2000).
An immunoglobulin molecule (abbreviated Ig), is a multimeric protein, typically composed of two identical light chain polypeptides and two identical heavy chain polypeptides (H2L2) that are joined into a macromolecular complex by interchain disulfide bonds, i.e., covalent bonds between the sulfhydryl groups of neighboring cysteine residues. Five human immunoglobulin classes are defined on the basis of their heavy chain composition, and are named IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
IgD. The IgG-class and IgA-class antibodies are further divided into subclasses, namely, IgGl, IgG2, lgG3, and IgG4, and IgAl and IgA2, respectively. Intrachain disulfide bonds join different areas of the same polypeptide chain, which results in the formation of loops that, along with adjacent amino acids, constitute the immunoglobulin domains. At the amino-terminal portion, each light chain and each heavy chain has a single variable region that shows considerable variation in amino acid composition from one antibody to another. The light chain variable region, Vt, has a single antigen-binding domain and associates with the variable region of a heavy chain, Vh (also containing a single antigen-binding domain), to form the antigen binding site of the immunoglobulin, the Fv.
In addition to variable regions, each of the full-length antibody chains has a constant region containing one or more domains. Light chains have a constant region containing a single domain. Thus, light chains have one variable domain and one constant domain. Heavy chains have a constant region containing several domains.
The heavy chains in IgG, IgA, and IgD antibodies have three domains, which are designated Chi, Ch2, and Ch3; the heavy chains in IgM and IgE antibodies have four domains, Chi, Ch2, Ch3 and Chx Thus, heavy chains have one variable domain and three or four constant domains. Noteworthy is the invariant organization of these domains in all known species, with the constant regions, containing one or more domains, being located at or near the C-terminus of both the light and heavy chains of immunoglobulin molecules, with the variable domains located towards the N-termini of the light and heavy chains. Immunoglobulin structure and function are reviewed, for example, in Harlow et al., Eds., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Chapter 14, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor (1988).
The heavy chains of immunoglobulins can also be divided into three functional regions: the Fd region (a fragment comprising Vh and Chi, ie., the two Nterminal domains of the heavy chain), the hinge region, and the Fc region (the fragment crystallizable region). The Fc region contains the domains that interact with immunoglobulin receptors on cells and with the initial elements of the complement cascade. Thus, the Fc region or fragment is generally considered responsible for the effector functions of an immunoglobulin, such as ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity), CDC (complement-dependent
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 cytotoxicity) and complement fixation, binding to Fc receptors, greater half-life in vivo relative to a polypeptide lacking an Fc region, protein A binding, and perhaps even placental transfer. Capon et al,, Nature, 337: 525-531, (1989). Further, a polypeptide containing an Fc region allows for dimerization/multimerization of the polypeptide. These terms are also used for analogous regions of the other immunoglobulins.
Although all of the human immunoglobulin isotypes contain a recognizable structure in common, each isotype exhibits a distinct pattern of effector function.
IgG, by way of nonexhaustive example, neutralizes toxins and viruses, opsonizes, fixes complement (CDC) and participates in ADCC. IgM, in contrast, neutralizes blood-bome pathogens and participates in opsonization. IgA, when associated with its secretory piece, is secreted and provides a primary defense to microbial infection via the mucosa; it also neutralizes toxins and supports opsonization. IgE mediates inflammatory responses, being centrally involved in the recruitment of other cells needed to mount a full response. IgD is known to provide an immunoregulatory function, controlling the activation of B cells. These characterizations of isotype effector functions provide a non-comprehensive illustration of the differences that can be found among human isotypes.
The hinge region, found in IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE class antibodies, acts as a flexible spacer, allowing the Fab portion to move freely in space. In contrast to the constant regions, the hinge domains are structurally diverse, varying in both sequence and length among immunoglobulin classes and subclasses. For example, the length and flexibility of the hinge region varies among the IgG subclasses. The hinge region of IgG 1 encompasses amino acids 216-231 and, because it is freely flexible, the Fab fragments can rotate about their axes of symmetry and move within a sphere centered at the first of two inter-heavy chain disulfide bridges. IgG2 has a shorter hinge than IgGl, with 12 amino acid residues and four disulfide bridges. The hinge region of IgG2 lacks a glycine residue, is relatively short, and contains a rigid poly-proline double helix, stabilized by extra inter-heavy chain disulfide bridges. These properties restrict the flexibility of the IgG2 molecule. IgG3 differs from the other subclasses by its unique extended hinge region (about four times as long as the IgGl hinge), containing 62 amino acids (including 21 pro lines and 11 cysteines), forming an
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 inflexible poly-proline double helix. In IgG3, the Fab fragments are relatively far away from the Fc fragment, giving the molecule a greater flexibility. The elongated hinge in IgG3 is also responsible for its higher molecular weight compared to the other subclasses. The hinge region of IgG4 is shorter than that of IgGl and its flexibility is intermediate between that of IgGl and IgG2. The flexibility of the hinge regions reportedly decreases in the order IgG3>IgGl>IgG4>IgG2. The four IgG subclasses also differ from each other with respect to their effector functions. This difference is related to differences in structure, including differences with respect to the interaction between the variable region, Fab fragments, and the constant Fc fragment.
According to crystallographic studies, the immunoglobulin hinge region can be further subdivided functionally into three regions: the upper hinge region, the core region, and the lower hinge region. Shin et al., 1992 Immunological Reviews 130:87. The upper hinge region includes amino acids from the carboxyl end of Chi to the first residue in the hinge that restricts motion, generally the first cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond between the two heavy chains. The length of the upper hinge region correlates with the segmental flexibility of the antibody. The core hinge region contains the inter-heavy chain disulfide bridges, and the lower hinge region joins the amino terminal end of the Ch2 domain and includes residues in Ch2·
Id. The core hinge region of human IgGl contains the sequence Cys-Pro-Pro-Cys which, when dimerized by disulfide bond formation, results in a cyclic octapeptide believed to act as a pivot, thus conferring flexibility. The hinge region may also contain one or more glycosylation sites, which include a number of structurally distinct types of sites for carbohydrate attachment. For example, IgAl contains five glycosylation sites within a 17-amino-acid segment of the hinge region, conferring resistance of the hinge region polypeptide to intestinal proteases, considered an advantageous property for a secretory immunoglobulin.
Conformational changes permitted by the structure and flexibility of the immunoglobulin hinge region polypeptide sequence may also affect the effector functions of the Fc portion of the antibody. Three general categories of effector functions associated with the Fc region include (1) activation of the classical complement cascade, (2) interaction with effector cells, and (3) compartmentalization

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 of immunoglobulins. The different human IgG subclasses vary in the relative efficacies with which they fix complement, or activate and amplify the steps of the complement cascade. See, e.g., Kirschfink, 2001 Immunol. Rev. 180:177;
Chakraborti et al., 2000 Cell Signal 12:607; Kohl etal., 1999 Mol. Immunol. 36:893;
Marsh et al., 1999 Curr. Opin. Nephrol. Hypertens. 8:557; Speth etal., 1999 Wien Klin. Wochenschr. 111:378.
Exceptions to the H2L2 structure of conventional antibodies occur in some isotypes of the immunoglobulins found in camelids (camels, dromedaries and llamas; Hamers-Casterman etal., 1993 Nature363:446; Nguyen etal., 19987. Mol. Biol
275:413), nurse sharks (Roux et al., 1998 Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 95:11804), and in the spotted ratfish (Nguyen, et al., 2002 Immunogenetics 54(1):39-47). These antibodies can apparently form antigen-binding regions using only heavy chain variable region, i.e., these functional antibodies are homodimers of heavy chains only (referred to as heavy-chain antibodies or HCAbs). Despite the advantages of antibody technology in disease diagnosis and treatment, there are some disadvantageous aspects of developing whole-antibody technologies as diagnostic and/or therapeutic reagents. Whole antibodies are large protein structures exemplified by the heterotetrameric structure of the IgG iso type, containing two light and two heavy chains. Such large molecules are sterically hindered in certain applications.
For example, in treatments of solid tumors, whole antibodies do not readily penetrate the interior of the tumor. Moreover, the relatively large size of whole antibodies presents a challenge to ensure that the in vivo administration of such molecules does not induce an immune response. Further, generation of active antibody molecules typically involves the culturing of recombinant eukaryotic cells capable of providing appropriate post-translational processing of the nascent antibody molecules, and such cells can be difficult to culture and difficult to induce in a manner that provides commercially useful yields of active antibody.
Recently, smaller immunoglobulin molecules have been constructed to overcome problems associated with whole immunoglobulin methodologies. A single30 chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) comprises an antibody heavy chain variable domain joined via a short peptide to an antibody light chain variable domain (Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1988, 85: 5879-83). Because of the small size of
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 scFv molecules, they exhibit more effective penetration into tissues than whole immunoglobulin. An anti-tumor scFv showed more rapid tumor penetration and more even distribution through the tumor mass than the corresponding chimeric antibody (Yokota et al., Cancer Res. 1992, 52:3402-08).
Despite the advantages that scFv molecules bring to serotherapy, several drawbacks to this therapeutic approach exist. An scFv is rapidly cleared from the circulation, which may reduce toxic effects in normal cells, but such rapid clearance impedes delivery of a minimum effective dose to the target tissue. Manufacturing adequate amounts of scFv for administration to patients has been challenging due to difficulties in expression and isolation of scFv that adversely affect the yield. During expression, scFv molecules lack stability and often aggregate due to pairing of variable regions from different molecules. Furthermore, production levels of scFv molecules in mammalian expression systems are low, limiting the potential for efficient manufacturing of scFv molecules for therapy (Davis et al, J Biol. Chem.
1990,265:10410-18); Traunecker et al., EMBO J 1991, 10: 3655-59). Strategies for improving production have been explored, including addition of glycosylation sites to the variable regions (Jost, C. R. U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,773, Jost et al, J. Biol. Chem.
1994, 69: 26267-73).
Another disadvantage to using scFv for therapy is the lack of effector function.
An scFv without a cytolytic function, such as the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (AJDCC) and complement dependent-cytotoxicity (CDC) associated with the constant region of an immunoglobulin, may be ineffective for treating disease. Even though development of scFv technology began over 12 years ago, currently no scFv products are approved for therapy.
Alternatively, it has been proposed that fusion of an scFv to another molecule, such as a toxin, could take advantage of the specific antigen-binding activity and the small size of an scFv to deliver the toxin to a target tissue. Chaudary et al., Nature 1989,339:394; Batra et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 1991, 11:2200. Conjugation or fusion of toxins to scFvs has thus been offered as an alternative strategy to provide potent, antigen-specific molecules, but dosing with such conjugates or chimeras can be limited by excessive and/or non-specific toxicity due to the toxin moiety of such preparations. Toxic effects may include supraphysiological elevation of liver
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 enzymes and vascular leak syndrome, and other undesired effects. In addition, immunotoxins are themselves highly immunogenic upon administration to a host, and host antibodies generated against the immunotoxin limit potential usefulness for repeated therapeutic treatments of an individual.
Nonsurgical cancer therapy, such as external irradiation and chemotherapy, can suffer from limited efficacy because of toxic effects on normal tissues and cells, due to the lack of specificity these treatments exhibit towards cancer cells. To overcome this limitation, targeted treatment methodologies have been developed to increase the specificity of the treatment for the cells and tissues in need thereof. An example of such a targeted methodology for in vivo use is the administration of antibody conjugates, with the antibody designed to specifically recognize a marker associated with a cell or tissue in need of treatment, and the antibody being conjugated to a therapeutic agent, such as a toxin in the case of cancer treatment. Antibodies, as systemic agents, circulate to sensitive and undesirable body compartments, such as the bone marrow. In acute radiation injury, destruction of lymphoid and hematopoietic compartments is a major factor in the development of septicemia and subsequent death. Moreover, antibodies are large, globular proteins that can exhibit poor penetration of tissues in need of treatment.
Human patients and non-human subjects suffering from a variety of end-stage disease processes frequently require organ transplantation. Organ transplantation, however, must contend with the untoward immune response of the recipient and guard against immunological rejection of the transplanted organ by depressing the recipient's cellular immune response to the foreign organ with cytotoxic agents which affect the lymphoid and other parts of the hematopoietic system. Graft acceptance is limited by the tolerance of the recipient to these cytotoxic chemicals, many of which are similar to the anticancer (antiproliferative) agents. Likewise, when using cytotoxic antimicrobial agents, particularly antiviral drugs, or when using cytotoxic drugs for autoimmune disease therapy, e.g., in treatment of systemic lupus erythematosis, a serious limitation is the toxic effects of the therapeutic agents on the bone marrow and the hematopoietic cells of the body.
Use of targeted therapies, such as targeted antibody conjugate therapy, is designed to localize a maximum quantity of the therapeutic agent at the site of desired
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 action as possible, and the success of such therapies is revealed by the relatively high signal-to-background ratio of therapeutic agent. Examples of targeted antibodies include diagnostic or therapeutic agent conjugates of antibody or antibody fragments, cell-or tissue-specific peptides, and hormones and other receptor-binding molecules.
For example, antibodies against different determinants associated with pathological and normal cells, as well as associated with pathogenic microorganisms, have been used for the detection and treatment of a wide variety of pathological conditions or lesions. In these methods, the targeting antibody is directly conjugated to an appropriate detecting or therapeutic agent as described, for example, in Hansen et al.,
U.S. Pat. No. 3,927,193 and Goldenberg, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,331,647,4,348,376, 4,361,544,4,468,457,4,444,744,4,460,459,4,460,561,4,624,846 and 4,818,709.
One problem encountered in direct targeting methods, i.e., in methods wherein the diagnostic or therapeutic agent (the active agent) is conjugated directly to the targeting moiety, is that a relatively small fraction of the conjugate actually binds to the target site, while the majority of conjugate remains in circulation and compromises in one way or another the function of the targeted conjugate. To ensure maximal localization of the active agent, an excess of the targeted conjugate is typically administered, ensuring that some conjugate will remain unbound and contribute to background levels of the active agent. A diagnostic conjugate, e.g., a radioimmunoscintigraphic or magnetic resonance imaging conjugate that does not bind its target can remain in circulation, thereby increasing background and decreasing resolution of the diagnostic technique. In the case of a therapeutic conjugate having a toxin as an active agent (e.g., a radioisotope, drug or toxic compound) attached to a long-circulating targeting moiety such as an antibody, circulating conjugate can result in unacceptable toxicity to the host, such as marrow toxicity or systemic side effects.
U.S, Pat. No. 4,782,840 discloses a method for reducing the effect of elevated background radiation levels during surgery. The method involves injection of a patient with antibodies specific for neoplastic tissue, with the antibodies labeled with radioisotopes having a suitably long half-life, such as Iodine-125. After injection of the radiolabeled antibody, the surgery is delayed at least 7-10 days, preferably 14-21

PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 days, to allow any unbound radiolabeled antibody to be cleared to a low background level.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,412 discloses methods for reducing or correcting for nonspecific background radiation during intraoperative detection. The methods include the administration to a patient who has received a radiolabeled primary antibody, of a contrast agent, subtraction agent or second antibody which binds the primary antibody.
Apart from producing the antibodies described above, the immune system includes a variety of cell types that have powerful biological effects. During hematopoiesis, bone marrow-derived stem cells differentiate into either mature cells of the immune system (“B” cells) or into precursors of cells that migrate out of the bone marrow to mature in the thymus (“T” cells).
B cells are central to the humoral component of an immune response. B cells are activated by an appropriate presentation of an antigen to become antibody15 secreting plasma cells; antigen presentation also results in clonal expansion of the activated B cell. B cells are primarily responsible for the humoral component of an immune response. A plasma cell typically exhibits about 105 antibody molecules (IgD and IgM) on its surface.
T lymphocytes can be divided into two categories. The cytotoxic T cells, Tc lymphocytes or CTLs (CD8+ T cells), kill cells bearing foreign surface antigen in association with Class IMHC and can kill cells that are harboring intracellular parasites (either bacteria or viruses) as long as the infected cell is displaying a microbial antigen on its surface. Tc cells kill tumor cells and account for the rejection of transplanted cells. Tc cells recognize antigen-Class I MHC complexes on target cells, contact them, and release the contents of granules directly into the target cell membrane, which lyses the cell.
A second category of T cells is the helper T cell or Th lymphocyte (CD4+ T cells), which produces lymphokines that are “helper” factors in the maturation of B cells into antibody-secreting plasma cells. Th cells also produce certain lymphokines that stimulate the differentiation of effector T lymphocytes and the activity of macrophages. Thl cells recognize antigen on macrophages in association with Class
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
II MHC and become activated (by IL-1) to produce lymphokines, including the IFN-γ that activates macrophages and NK cells. These cells mediate various aspects of the cell-mediated immunity response including delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Th2 cells recognize antigen in association with Class II MHC on an antigen presenting cell or APC (e.g., migratory macrophages and dendritic cells) and then produce interleukins and other substances that stimulate specific B-cell and T-cell proliferation and activity.
Beyond serving as APCs that initiate T cell interactions, development, and proliferation, macrophages are involved in expression of cell-mediated immunity because they become activated by IFN-γ produced in a cell-mediated immune response. Activated macrophages have increased phagocytic potential and release soluble substances that cause inflammation and destroy many bacteria and other cells. Natural Killer cells are cytotoxic cells that lyse cells bearing new antigen, regardless of their MHC type, and even lyse some cells that bear no MHC proteins. Natural
Killer T cells, or NK cells, are defined by their ability to kill cells displaying a foreign antigen (e.g., tumor cells), regardless of MHC type, and regardless of previous sensitization (exposure) to the antigen. NK cells can be activated by IL-2 and IFN-γ, and lyse cells in the same manner as cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Some NK cells have receptors for the Fc domain of the IgG antibody (e.g, CD 16 or FcyRIlI) and are thus able to bind to the Fc portion of IgG on the surface of a target cell and release cytolytic components that kill the target cell via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
Another group of cells is the granulocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Neutrophils, one type of PMN, kill bacterial invaders and phagocytose the remains. Eosinophils are another type of PMN and contain granules that prove cytotoxic when released upon another cell, such as a foreign cell. Basophils, a third type of PMN, are significant mediators of powerful physiological responses (e.g., inflammation) that exert their effects by releasing a variety of biologically active compounds, such as histamine, serotonin, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes. Common to all of these cell types is the capacity to exert a physiological effect within an organism, frequently by killing, and optionally scavenging, deleterious compositions such as foreign cells.

2016231617 23 Sep 2016
Although a variety of mammalian cells, including cells of the immune system, are capable of directly exerting a physiological effect (e.g., cell killing, typified by Tc, NK, some PMN, macrophage, and the like), other cells indirectly contribute to a physiological effect. For example, initial presentation of an antigen to a naive T cell of the immune system requires MHC presentation that mandates cell-cell contact.
Further, there often needs to be contact between an activated T cell and an antigenspecific B cell to obtain a particular immunogenic response. A third form of cell-cell contact often seen in immune responses is the contact between an activated B cell and follicular dendritic cells. Each of these cell-cell contact requirements complicates the targeting of a biologically active agent to a given target.
Complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) is believed to be a significant mechanism for clearance of specific target cells such as tumor cells. CDC is a series of events that consists of a collection of enzymes that become activated by each other in a cascade fashion. Complement has an important role in clearing antigen, accomplished by its four major functions: (1) local vasodilation; (2) attraction of immune cells, especially phagocytes (chemotaxis); (3) tagging of foreign organisms for phagocytosis (opsonization); and (4) destruction of invading organisms by the membrane attack complex (MAC attack). The central molecule is the C3 protein. It is an enzyme that is split into two fragments by components of either the classical pathway or the alternative pathway. The classical pathway is induced by antibodies, especially IgG and IgM, while the alternative pathway is nonspecifically stimulated by bacterial products like lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Briefly, the products of the C3 split include a small peptide C3a which is chemotactic for phagocytic immune cells and results in local vasodilation by causing the release of C5a fragment from C5. The other part of C3, C3b, coats antigens on the surface of foreign organisms and acts to opsonize the organism for destruction. C3b also reacts with other components of the complement system to form an MAC consisting of C5b, C6, C7, C8 and C9.
There are problems associated with the use of antibodies in human therapy because the response of the immune system to any antigen, even the simplest, is polyclonal, i.e,, the system manufactures antibodies of a great range of structures both in their binding regions as well as in their effector regions.

Two approaches have been used in an attempt to reduce the problem of immunogenic antibodies. The first is the production of chimeric antibodies in which the antigen-binding part (variable regions) of a mouse monoclonal antibody is fused to the effector part (constant region) of a human antibody. In a second approach, antibodies have been altered through a technique known as complementarity determining region (CDR) grafting or humanization. This process has been further improved to include changes referred to as “reshaping” (Verhoeyen, et al., 1988 Science 239:1534-1536; Riechmann, etal., 1988 Nature 332:323-337; Tempest, etal., Bio/Technol 1991 9:266-271), “hyperchimerization” (Queen, et al., 1989 Proc Natl
AcadSci USA 86:10029-10033; Co, etal., 1991 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 88:2869 2873; Co, et al., 1992 J Immunol 148:1149-1154), and “veneering” (Mark, et al., In·. Metcalf BW, Dalton BJ, eds. Cellular adhesion: molecular definition to therapeutic potential. New York: Plenum Press, 1994:291-312).
An average of less than one therapeutic antibody per year has been introduced to the market beginning in 1986, eleven years after the publication of monoclonal antibodies. Five murine monoclonal antibodies were introduced into human medicine over a ten year period from 1986-1995, including “muromonab-CD3” (OrthoClone 0KT3®) for acute rejection of organ transplants; “edrecolomab” (Panorex®) for colorectal cancer; “odulimomab” (Antilfa®) for transplant rejection; and, “ibritumomab” (Zevalin® yiuxetan) for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Additionally, a monoclonal Fab, “abciximab” (ReoPro®) has been marketed for preventing coronary artery reocclusion. Three chimeric monoclonal antibodies were also launched: “rituximab” (Rituxan®) for treating B cell lymphomas; “basiliximab” (Simulect®)for transplant rejection; and “infliximab” (Remicade®) for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Additionally, “abciximab” (ReoPro®), a 47.6 kD Fab fragment of a chimeric human-murine monoclonal antibody is marketed as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for the prevention of cardiac ischemic complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Finally, seven “humanized” monoclonal antibodies have been launched. “Daclizumab” (Zenapax®) is used to prevent acute rejection of transplanted kidneys; “palivizumab” (Synagis®) for RSV; “trastuzumab” (Herceptin®) binds HER-2, a growth factor receptor found on breast cancers cells; “gemtuzumab” (Mylotarg®) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); and “alemtuzumab” (MabCampath®) for chronic

PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 lymphocytic leukemia; “adalimumab” (Humira® (D2E7)) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; and, “omalizumab” (Xolair®), for the treatment of persistent asthma.
Thus, a variety of antibody technologies have received attention in the effort 5 to develop and market more effective therapeutics and palliatives. Unfortunately, problems continue to compromise the promise of each of these therapies. For example, the majority of cancer patients treated with rituximab relapse, generally within about 6-12 months, and fatal infusion reactions within 24 hours of rituximab infusion have been reported. Acute renal failure requiring dialysis with instances of fatal outcome has also been reported in treatments with rituximab, as have severe, occasionally fatal, mucocutaneous reactions. Additionally, high doses of rituximab are required for intravenous injection because the molecule is large, approximately 150 kDa, and diffusion into the lymphoid tissues, where many tumor cells may reside is limited.
Trastuzumab administration can result in the development of ventricular dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis), infusion reactions, and pulmonary events. Daclizumab immunosuppressive therapy poses an increased risk for developing lymphoproliferative disorders and opportunistic infections. Death from liver failure, arising from severe hepatotoxicity, and from veno-occlusive disease (VOD), has been reported in patients who received gemtuzumab.
Hepatotoxicity was also reported in patients receiving alemtuzumab. Serious and, in some rare instances fatal, pancytopenia/marrow hypoplasia, autoimmune idiopathic thrombocytopenia, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia have occurred in patients receiving alemtuzumab therapy. Alemtuzumab can also result in serious infusion reactions as well as opportunistic infections. In patients treated with adalimumab, serious infections and sepsis, including fatalities, have been reported, as has the exacerbation of clinical symptoms and/or radiographic evidence of demyelinating disease, and patients treated with adalimumab in clinical trials had a higher incidence of lymphoma than the expected rate in the general population. Omalizumab reportedly induces malignancies and anaphylaxis.

Cancer includes a broad range of diseases, affecting approximately one in four individuals worldwide. Rapid and unregulated proliferation of malignant cells is a hallmark of many types of cancer, including hematological malignancies. Although patients with a hematologic malignant condition have benefited from advances in cancer therapy in the past two decades, Multani etal., 1998 J. Clin. Oncology 16:3691-3710, and remission times have increased, most patients still relapse and succumb to their disease. Barriers to cure with cytotoxic drugs include, for example, tumor cell resistance and the high toxicity of chemotherapy, which prevents optimal dosing in many patients.
Treatment of patients with low grade or follicular B cell lymphoma using a chimeric CD20 monoclonal antibody has been reported to induce partial or complete responses in patients. McLaughlin et al., 1996 Blood 88:90a (abstract, suppl. 1); Maloney et al., 1997 Blood 90:2188-95. However, as noted above, tumor relapse commonly occurs within six months to one year. Further improvements in serotherapy are needed to induce more durable responses, for example, in low grade B cell lymphoma, and to allow effective treatment of high grade lymphoma and other B cell diseases.
Another approach has been to target radioisotopes to B cell lymphomas using monoclonal antibodies specific for CD20, While the effectiveness of therapy is reportedly increased, associated toxicity from the long in vivo half-life of the radioactive antibody increases, sometimes requiring that the patient undergo stem cell rescue. Press et al., 1993 N. Eng. J. Med. 329:1219-1224; Kaminski et al., 1993 N. Eng.J. Med. 329:459-65. Monoclonal antibodies to CD20 have also been cleaved with proteases to yield F(ab’)2 or Fab fragments prior to attachment of radioisotope.
This has been reported to improve penetration of the radioisotope conjugate into the tumor and to shorten the in vivo half-life, thus reducing the toxicity to normal tissues. However, these molecules lack effector functions, including complement fixation and/or ADCC.
Autoimmune diseases include autoimmune thyroid diseases, which include
Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In the United States alone, there are about 20 million people who have some form of autoimmune thyroid disease. Autoimmune thyroid disease results from the production of autoantibodies that either
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 stimulate the thyroid to cause hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) or destroy the thyroid to cause hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Stimulation of the thyroid is caused by autoantibodies that bind and activate the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. Destruction of the thyroid is caused by autoantibodies that react with other thyroid antigens. Current therapy for Graves' disease includes surgery, radioactive iodine, or antithyroid drug therapy. Radioactive iodine is widely used, since antithyroid medications have significant side effects and disease recurrence is high. Surgery is reserved for patients with large goiters or where there is a need for very rapid normalization of thyroid function. There are no therapies that target the production of autoantibodies responsible for stimulating the TSH receptor. Current therapy for Hashimoto's thyroiditis is levothyroxine sodium, and lifetime therapy is expected because of the low likelihood of remission. Suppressive therapy has been shown to shrink goiters in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but no therapies that reduce autoantibody production to target the disease mechanism are known.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the joints, leading to swelling, pain, and loss of function. RA affects an estimated 2.5 million people in the United States. RA is caused by a combination of events including an initial infection or injury, an abnormal immune response, and genetic factors. While autoreactive T cells and B cells are present in RA, the detection of high levels of antibodies that collect in the joints, called rheumatoid factor, is used in the diagnosis of RA. Current therapy for RA includes many medications for managing pain and slowing the progression of the disease. No therapy has been found that can cure the disease. Medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS). NSAIDS are useful in benign disease, but fail to prevent the progression to joint destruction and debility in severe RA. Both NSAIDS and DMARDS are associated with significant side effects. Only one new DMARD, Leflunomide, has been approved in over 10 years. Leflunomide blocks production of autoantibodies, reduces inflammation, and slows progression of RA. However, this drug also causes severe side effects including nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, rash, and liver injury.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease caused by recurrent injuries to blood vessels in multiple organs, including the kidney, skin, and
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 joints. SLE is estimated to affect over 500,000 people in the United States. In patients with SLE, a faulty interaction between T cells and B cells results in the production of autoantibodies that attack the cell nucleus. These include anti-double stranded DNA and anti-Sm antibodies. Autoantibodies that bind phospholipids are also found in about half of SLE patients, and are responsible for blood vessel damage and low blood counts. Immune complexes accumulate in the kidneys, blood vessels, and joints of SLE patients, where they cause inflammation and tissue damage. No treatment for SLE has been found to cure the disease, NSAIDS and DMARDS are used for therapy depending upon the severity of the disease. Plasmapheresis with plasma exchange to remove autoantibodies can cause temporary improvement in SLE patients. There is general agreement that autoantibodies are responsible for SLE, so new therapies that deplete the B cell lineage, allowing the immune system to reset as new B cells are generated from precursors, would offer hope for long lasting benefit in SLE patients.
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of the body’s moisture-producing glands. Sjogren's syndrome is one of the most prevalent autoimmune disorders, striking up to an estimated 4 million people in the United States. About half of the people stricken with Sjogren’s syndrome also have a connective tissue disease, such as RA, while the other half have primary Sjogren’s syndrome with no other concurrent autoimmune disease. Autoantibodies, including anti-nuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor, anti-fodrin, and anti-muscarinic receptor are often present in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Conventional therapy includes corticosteroids, and additional more effective therapies would be of benefit.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is caused by autoantibodies that bind to blood platelets and cause their destruction. Some cases of ITP are caused by drugs, and others are associated with infection, pregnancy, or autoimmune disease such as SLE. About half of all cases are classified as being of idiopathic origin. The treatment of ITP is determined by the severity of the symptoms. In some cases, no therapy is needed although in most cases immunosuppressive drugs, including corticosteroids or intravenous infusions of immune globulin to deplete T cells, are provided. Another treatment that usually results in an increased number of platelets is removal of the spleen, the organ that destroys antibody-coated platelets. More potent
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 immunosuppressive drugs, including cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, or azathioprine are used for patients with severe cases. Removal of autoantibodies by passage of patients’ plasma over a Protein A column is used as a second line treatment in patients with severe disease. Additional more effective therapies are needed.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is also an autoimmune disease. It is characterized by inflammation of the central nervous system and destruction of myelin, which insulates nerve cell fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and body. Although the cause of MS is unknown, it is widely believed that autoimmune T cells are primary contributors to the pathogenesis of the disease. However, high levels of antibodies are present in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with MS, and some predict that the B cell response leading to antibody production is important for mediating the disease. No B cell depletion therapies have been studied in patients with MS, and there is no cure for MS. Current therapy is corticosteroids, which can reduce the duration and severity of attacks, but do not affect the course of MS over time. New biotechnology interferon (IFN) therapies for MS have recently been approved but additional more effective therapies are required.
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by weakness of the voluntary muscle groups. MG affects about
40,000 people in the United States. MG is caused by autoantibodies that bind to acetylcholine receptors expressed at neuromuscular junctions. The autoantibodies reduce or block acetylcholine receptors, preventing the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles. There is no known cure for mg. Common treatments include immunosuppression with corticosteroids, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, or azathioprine. Surgical removal of the thymus is often used to blunt the autoimmune response. Plasmapheresis, used to reduce autoantibody levels in the blood, is effective in mg, but is short-lived because the production of autoantibodies continues. Plasmapheresis is usually reserved for severe muscle weakness prior to surgery. New and effective therapies would be of benefit.
Psoriasis affects approximately five million people, and is characterized by autoimmune inflammation in the skin. Psoriasis is also associated with arthritis in 30% (psoriatic arthritis). Many treatments, including steroids, uv light retinoids,
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 vitamin D derivatives, cyclosporine, and methotrexate have been used but it is also clear that psoriasis would benefit from new and effective therapies. Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease of the connective tissue that is also known as systemic sclerosis. Scleroderma is characterized by an overproduction of collagen, resulting in a thickening of the skin, and approximately 300,000 people in the United States have scleroderma, which would also benefit from new and effective therapies.
Apparent from the foregoing discussion are needs for improved compositions and methods to treat, ameliorate or prevent a variety of diseases, disorders and conditions, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
SUMMARY
It is to be understood that, if any prior art publication is referred to herein, such reference does not constitute an admission that the publication forms a part of the common general knowledge in the art, in Australia or any other country.
In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word “comprise” or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention.
The invention satisfies at least one of the aforementioned needs in the art by providing proteins containing at least two specific binding domains, wherein those two domains are linked by a constant sub-region derived from an antibody molecule attached at its C-terminus to a linker herein referred to as a scorpion linker, and nucleic acids encoding such proteins, as well as production, diagnostic and therapeutic uses of such proteins and nucleic acids. The constant sub-region comprises a domain derived from an immunoglobulin Ch2 domain, and preferably a domain derived from an immunoglobulin Ch3 domain, but does not contain a domain or region derived from, or corresponding to, an immunoglobulin Chi domain. Previously, it had been thought that the placement of a constant region derived from an antibody in the interior of a protein would interfere with antibody function, such as effector function, by analogy to the conventional placement of constant regions of antibodies at the carboxy termini of antibody chains. In addition, placement of a scorpion linker, which may be an immunoglobulin hinge-like peptide, Cterminal to a constant sub-region is an organization that differs from the organization of naturally occurring immunoglobulins. Placement of a constant sub-region (with a scorpion linker attached C-terminal to the constant region) in the interior of a polypeptide or protein chain in accordance with the invention, however, resulted in proteins exhibiting effector

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 function and multivalent (mono- or multi-specific) binding capacities relatively unencumbered by steric hindrances. As will be apparent to one of skill in the art upon consideration of this disclosure, such proteins are modular in design and may be constructed by selecting any of a variety of binding domains for binding domain 1 or binding domain 2 (or for any additional binding domains found in a particular protein according to the invention), by selecting a constant sub-region having effector function, and by selecting a scorpion linker, hinge-like or non-hinge like (e.g., type II C-lectin receptor stalk region peptides), with the protein exhibiting a general organization of Nbinding domain 1-constant sub-region-scorpion linker- binding domain 2-C. Those of skill will further appreciate that proteins of such structure, and the nucleic acids encoding those proteins, will find a wide variety of applications, including medical and veterinary applications.
One aspect of the invention provides a single-chain binding protein comprising from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus:
(a) a first binding domain comprising variable regions from an immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin-like molecule;
(b) an immunoglobulin constant sub-region that comprises immunoglobulin CH2 and CH3 domains;
(c) a scorpion linker peptide, wherein said scorpion linker peptide comprises an amino acid sequence derived from a hinge of an immunoglobulin or a stalk region of a type II C-lectin protein; and (d) a second binding domain comprising variable regions from an immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin-like molecule.
One further aspect of the invention is drawn to a multivalent single-chain binding protein with effector function, or scorpion (the terms are used interchangeably), comprising a first binding domain derived from an immunoglobulin (e.g., an antibody) or an immunoglobulin-like molecule, a constant sub-region providing an effector function, the constant sub-region located C-terminal to the first binding domain; a scorpion linker located C-terminal to the constant sub-region; and a second binding domain derived from an immunoglobulin (such as an antibody) or immunoglobulin-like molecule, located Cterminal to the constant sub-region; thereby localizing the constant sub-region between the first binding domain and the second binding domain. The single-chain binding protein may be multispecific, e.g., bispecific in that it could bind two or more distinct targets, or it may be monospecific, with two binding sites for the same target. Moreover, all of the domains of the protein are found in a single chain, but the protein may form homo-multimers, e.g., by interchain disulfide bond formation. In some embodiments, the first binding domain and/or the second binding domain is/are derived from variable regions of light and heavy (<3ΗΜβ„·«> P79767.AU.1
21a
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 immunoglobulin chains from the same, or different, immunoglobulins (e.g., antibodies). The immunoglobulin(s) may be from any vertebrate, such as a mammal, including a human, and may be chimeric, humanized, fragments, variants or derivatives of naturally occurring immunoglobulins.
The invention contemplates proteins in which the first and second binding domains are derived from the same, or different immunoglobulins (e.g., antibodies), and wherein the first and second binding domains recognize the same, or different, molecular targets (e.g., cell surface markers, such as membrane-bound proteins). Further, the first and second binding domains may recognize the same, or different, $065527.1 (GHMellere) P797&7AU1

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 epitopes. The first and second molecular targets may be associated with first and second target cells, viruses, carriers and/or objects. In preferred embodiments according to this aspect of the invention, each of the first binding domain, second binding domain, and constant sub-region is derived from a human immunoglobulin, such as an IgG antibody. In yet other embodiments, the multivalent binding protein with effector function has at least one of the first binding domain and the second binding domain that recognizes at least one cell-free molecular target, e.g., a protein unassociated with a cell, such as a deposited protein or a soluble protein. Cell-free molecular targets include, e.g., proteins that were never associated with a cell, e.g., administered compounds such as proteins, as well as proteins that are secreted, cleaved, present in exosomes, or otherwise discharged or separated from a cell.
The target molecules recognized by the first and second binding domains may be found on, or in association with, the same, or different, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, viruses (including bacteriophage), organic or inorganic target molecule carriers, and foreign objects. Moreover, those target molecules may be on physically distinct cells, viruses, carriers or objects of the same type (e.g., two distinct eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, viruses or carriers) or those target molecules may be on cells, viruses, carriers, or objects that differ in type (e.g., a eukaryotic cell and a virus). Target cells are those cells associated with a target molecule recognized by a binding domain and includes endogenous or autologous cells as well as exogenous or foreign cells (e.g., infectious microbial cells, transplanted mammalian cells including transfused blood cells). The invention comprehends targets for the first and/or second binding domains that are found on the surface of a target cell(s) associated with a disease, disorder or condition of a mammal such as a human. Exemplary target cells include a cancer cell, a cell associated with an autoimmune disease or disorder, and an infectious cell (e.g., an infectious bacterium), A cell of an infectious organism, such as a mammalian parasite, is also contemplated as a target cell. In some embodiments, a protein of the invention is a multivalent (e.g., multispecific) binding protein with effector function wherein at least one of the first binding domain and the second binding domain recognizes a target selected from the group consisting of a tumor antigen, a B-cell target, a TNF receptor superfamily member, a Hedgehog family member, a receptor tyrosine kinase, a proteoglycan-related molecule, a TGF-beta superfamily member, a Wnt-related molecule, a receptor ligand, a T-cell target, a

In other embodiments, the multivalent and multispecific binding protein with effector function has a first binding domain and a second binding domain that recognize a target pair selected from the group consisting of EPHB4-KDR and TIETEK. In such embodiments, the protein has a first binding domain recognizing EPHB4 and a second binding domain recognizing KDR or a first binding domain recognizing KDR and a second binding domain recognizing EPHB4, Analogously, the protein may have a first binding domain recognizing TIE and a second binding domain recognizing TEK, or a first binding domain recognizing TEK and a second binding domain recognizing TIE.
In a related aspect, the invention provides a multivalent binding protein with effector function, wherein the constant sub-region recognizes an effector cell Fc receptor (e.g., FcyRI, FqyRII, FcyRIII, FcaR, and Fc£RI. In particular embodiments, the constant sub-region recognizes an effector cell surface protein selected from the group consisting of CD2, CD3, CD 16, CD28, CD32, CD40, CD56, CD64, CD89, FceRI, KIR, thrombospondin R, NKG2D, 2B4/NAIL and 4IBB. The constant subregion may comprise a Ch2 domain and a Ch3 domain derived from the same, or different, immunoglobulins, antibody isotypes, or allelic variants. In some embodiments, the Ch3 domain is truncated and comprises a C-terminal sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 366, 367, 368,369, 370 and 371. Preferably, the Chi domain and the scorpion linker are derived from the same class, or from the same sub-class, of immunoglobulin, when the linker is a hinge-like peptide derived from an immunoglobulin.
Some proteins according to the invention are also contemplated as further comprising a scorpion linker of at least about 5 amino acids attached to the constant sub-region and attached to the second binding domain, thereby localizing the scorpion linker between the constant sub-region and the second binding domain. Typically, the scorpion linker peptide length is between 5-45 amino acids. Scorpion linkers include hinge-like peptides derived from immunoglobulin hinge regions, such as IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgE hinge regions. Preferably, a hinge-like scorpion linker will retain at least one cysteine capable of forming an interchain disulfide bond under

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 physiological conditions. Scorpion linkers derived from IgGl may have 1 cysteine or two cysteines, and will preferably retain the cysteine corresponding to an N-terminal hinge cysteine of IgGl. In some embodiments, the scorpion linker is extended relative to a cognate immunoglobulin hinge region and, in exemplary embodiments, comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:351, 352, 353 and 354. Non-hinge-like peptides are also contemplated as scorpion linkers, provided that such peptides provide sufficient spacing and flexibility to provide a single-chain protein capable of forming two binding domains, one located towards each protein terminus (N and C) relative to a more centrally located constant sub10 region domain. Exemplary non-hinge-like scorpion linkers include peptides from the stalk region of type II C-lectins, such as the stalk regions of CD69, CD72, CD94, NKG2A and NKG2D. In some embodiments, the scorpion linker comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:373, 374,375, 376 and 377.
The proteins may also comprise a linker of at least about 5 amino acids attached to the constant sub-region and attached to the first binding domain, thereby localizing the linker between the constant sub-region and the first binding domain. In some embodiments, linkers are found between the constant sub-region and each of the two binding domains, and those linkers may be of the same or different sequence, and of the same or different lengths.
The constant sub-region of the proteins according to the invention provides at least one effector function. Any effector function known in the art to be associated with an immunoglobulin (e.g., an antibody) is contemplated, such as an effector function selected from the group consisting of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), relatively extended in vivo half-life (relative to the same molecule lacking a constant sub-region), FcR binding, protein A binding, and the like. In some embodiments, the extended halflives of proteins of the invention are at least 28 hours in a human. Of course, proteins intended for administration to non-human subjects will exhibit relatively extended half-lives in those non-human subjects, and not necessarily in humans.

In general, the proteins (including polypeptides and peptides) of the invention exhibit a binding affinity of less than IO9 M, or at least 10'6 M, for at least one of the first binding domain and the second binding domain.
Another aspect of the invention is drawn to a pharmaceutical composition 5 comprising a protein as described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, carrier or excipient. Any adjuvant, carrier, or excipient known in the art is useful in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention.
Yet another aspect of the invention provides a method of producing a protein as described above comprising introducing a nucleic acid encoding the protein into a host cell and incubating the host cell under conditions suitable for expression of the protein, thereby expressing the protein, preferably at a level of at least 1 mg/liter. In some embodiments, the method further comprises isolating the protein by separating it from at least one protein with which it is associated upon intracellular expression. Suitable host cells for expressing the nucleic acids to produce the proteins of the invention include, but are not limited to, a host cell selected from the group consisting of a VERO cell, a HeLa cell, a CHO cell, a COS cell, a W138 cell, a BHK cell, a HepG2 cell, a 3T3 cell, a RIN cell, an MDCK cell, an A549 cell, a PC 12 cell, a K.562 cell, a HEK293 cell, an N cell, a Spodoptera frugiperda cell, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell, a Pichia pastoris cell, any of a variety of fungal cells and any of a variety of bacterial cells (including, but not limited to, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, and a Streptomycete).
The invention also provides a method of producing a nucleic acid encoding the protein, as described above, comprising covalently linking the 3’ end of a polynucleotide encoding a first binding domain derived from an immunoglobulin variable region to the 5 ’ end of a polynucleotide encoding a constant sub-region, covalently linking the 5’ end of a polynucleotide encoding a scorpion linker to the 3’ end of the polynucleotide encoding the constant sub-region, and covalently linking the 5’ end of a polynucleotide encoding a second binding domain derived from an immunoglobulin variable region to the 3’ end of the polynucleotide encoding the scorpion linker, thereby generating a nucleic acid encoding a multivalent binding protein with effector function. Each of these coding regions may be separated by a coding region for a linker or hinge-like peptide as part of a single-chain structure
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 according to the invention. In some embodiments, the method produces a polynucleotide encoding a first binding domain that comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2 (anti-CD20 variable region, oriented VlVh), SEQ ID NO: 4 (anti-CD28 variable region, oriented Vl-Vh) and SEQ ID NO: 6 (anti-CD28 variable region, oriented Vh-Vl) in single-chain form, rather than requiring assembly from separately encoded polypeptides as must occur for heteromultimeric proteins, including natural antibodies. Exemplary polynucleotide sequences encoding first binding domains are polynucleotides comprising any of SEQ ID NOS: 1,3 or 5.
This aspect of the invention also provides methods for producing encoding nucleic acids that further comprise a linker polynucleotide inserted between the polynucleotide encoding a first binding domain and the polynucleotide encoding a constant sub-region, the linker polynucleotide encoding a peptide linker of at least 5 amino acids. Additionally, these methods produce nucleic acids that further comprise a linker polynucleotide inserted between the polynucleotide encoding a constant subregion and the polynucleotide encoding a second binding domain, the linker polynucleotide encoding a peptide linker of at least 5 amino acids. Preferably, the encoded peptide linkers are between 5 and 45 amino acids.
The identity of the linker regions present either between BD1 and EFD or
EFD and BD2 may be derived from other sequences identified from homologous -Ig superfamily members. In developing novel linkers derived from existing sequences present in homologous members of the -Ig superfamily, it may be preferable to avoid sequence stretches similar to those located between the end of a C-like domain and the transmembrane domain, since such sequences are often substrates for protease cleavage of surface receptors from the cell to create soluble forms. Sequence comparisons between different members of the -Ig superfamily and subfamilies can be compared for similarities between molecules in the linker sequences that join multiple V-like domains or between the V and C like domains. From this analysis, conserved, naturally occurring sequence patterns may emerge; these sequences when used as the linkers between subdomains of the multivalent fusion proteins should be more protease resistant, might facilitate proper folding between Ig loop regions, and

Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the multivalent single-chain 5 molecules envisioned by the invention. Individual subdomains of the fusion protein expression cassette are indicated by separate shapes/blocks on the figure. BD1 refers to binding domain 1, linker 1 refers to any potential linker or hinge like peptide between BD1 and the “effector function domain”, indicated as EFD. This subdomain is usually an engineered form of the Fc domain of human IgGl, but may include other subdomains with one or more effector functions as defined herein. Linker 2 refers to the linker sequence, if any, present between the carboxy terminus of the EFD and the binding domain 2, BD2.
Figure 2 shows a Western blot of non-reduced proteins expressed in COS cells. Protein was secreted into the culture medium, and culture supernatants isolated after 48-72 hours from transiently transfected cells by centrifugation. Thirty microliters, 30 μΐ of crude supernatant were loaded into each well of the gel. Lane identifications: 1- molecular weight markers, with numerals indicating kilodaltons; 22H7-IgG-STDl-2E12 LH; 3- 2H7-IgG-STDl-2EI2 HL, 4- 2H7-IgG-STD2-2E12 LH; 5- 2H7-IgG-STD2-2E12 HL; 6- 2E12 LH SMIP; 7- 2E12 HL SMIP; 8- 2H7 SMIP.
“2H7” refers to a single-chain construct, where BD1 encodes the CD20 specific binding domain (2H7) in the VLVH orientation; “2E12” refers to a binding domain specific for CD28; -IgG-refers to a single-chain construct, with a hinge encoding a sequence where all C are mutated to S (sss), and the CH2 and CH3 domains of IgGl contain mutations which eliminate both ADCC and CDC effector functions (P238S and P331 S), “STD 1 refers to a 20-amino-acid linker (identified in Figure 7 as “STDl=20aa “) inserted adjacent to the BD2 in the VL-VH orientation, or 2EI2 (VlVh). “STD1- HL” refers to a similar construct as just described, but with the BD2 V regions in the VH-VL orientation as follows: 2H7-sssIgG (P238/33lS)-20-aminoacid linker-2EI2 (VH-VL). “STD2- LH” refers to 2H7-sssIgG (P238/33 lS)-38-amino30 acid linker-2E12 (VL-VH); “STD2-LH” refers to 2H7-sssIgG (P238/331 SS)-38amino-acid linker-2E12 (Vh-Vl); “SMIP” refers to small modular immunopharmaceutical; and “H” generally refers to Vh, while “L” generally refers to

Vl. Unless otherwise indicated, all protein orientations are N-terminal to C-terminal orientations.
Figure 3 shows two columnar graphs illustrating the binding properties of the 2H7-sssIgG (P238S/P331S)-STDl-2el2 LH and HL derivatives expressed from COS cells. These experiments were performed with crude culture supernatants rather than purified proteins. Serial dilutions from undiluted to 16X of the culture supernatants were incubated with either CD20 expressing cells (WIL-2S) or CD28 expressing cells (CD28 CHO). Binding activity in the supernatants was compared to control samples testing binding of the relevant single specificity SMIP, such as TRU-015, or 2el2
VLVH, or 2el2VHVL SMIPs. Binding in each sample was detected using fluorescein isothyocyanate (FITC) conjugated goat anti-human IgG at a dilution of 1:100.
Figure 4 is a histogram showing the binding pattern of protein A purified versions of the proteins tested in Figure 3 to WIL2-S cells. “TRU015” is a SMIP specific for CD20. Two multispecific binding proteins with effector function were also analyzed: “2H7-2E12 LH” has binding domain 2, specific for CD28, in Vl-Vh orientation; “2H7-2E12 HL” has binding domain 2, specific for CD28, in Vh-Vl orientation. Each of the proteins was tested for binding at 5 pg/ml, and binding detected with FITC goat anti-human IgG at 1:100. See the description for Figure 2 above for more complete descriptions of the molecules tested.
Figure 5 shows two histograms illustrating the binding by protein A purified multispecific binding proteins with effector function to CHO cells expressing CD28. “2H7-2E12 LH” has binding domain 2, specific for CD28, in Vl-Vh orientation; “2H7-2E12 HL” has binding domain 2, specific for CD28, in Vh-Vl orientation.
Each of the proteins was tested for binding at 5 pg/ml, and binding was detected with FITC goat anti-human IgG at 1:100. See the descriptions in Figure 2 for a more complete description of the molecules tested.
Figure 6 A) shows a table which identifies the linkers joining the constant sub-region and binding domain 2. The linkers are identified by name, sequence, sequence identifier, sequence length, and the sequence of the fusion with binding domain 2. B) shows a table identifying a variety of constructs identifying elements of
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 exemplified molecules according to the invention.. In addition to identifying the multivalent binding molecules by name, the elements of those molecules are disclosed in terms of binding domain 1 (BD1), the constant sub-region (hinge and effector domain or EFD), a linker (see Fig. 6A for additional information regarding the linkers), and binding domain 2 (BD2). The sequences of a number of exemplified multivalent binding proteins are provided, and are identified in the figure by a sequence identifier. Other multivalent binding proteins have altered elements, or element orders, with predictable alterations in sequence from the disclosed sequences.
Figure 7 shows a composite columnar graph illustrating the binding of 10 purified proteins at a single, fixed concentration to CD20 expressing WIL-2S cells and to CHO cells expressing CD28. “H1-H6” refers to the 2H7-sss-hIgG-Hx-2el2 molecules with the H1-H6 linkers and the 2el2 V regions in the orientation of Vh-Vl“L1-L6” refers to the 2H7-sss-hIgG-Lx-2el2 molecules with the L1-L6 linkers and the 2el2 V regions in the orientation of Vl-Vh. All the molecules were tested at a concentration of 0.72 pg/ml, and the binding detected using FITC conjugated goat anti-human IgG at 1:100. The mean fluorescence intensity for each sample was then plotted as paired bar graphs for the two target cell types tested versus each of the multivalent constructs being tested, L1-L6, or H1-H6.
Figure 8 shows photographs of Coomassie stained non-reducing and reducing
SDS-PAGE gels. These gels show the effect of the variant linker sequence/length on the 2H7-sss-hlgG-Hx-2el2 HL protein on the amounts of the two predominate protein bands visualized on the gel.
Figure 9 shows Western Blots of the [2H7-sss-hIgG-H6-2el2] fusion proteins and the relevant single specificity SMIPs probed with either (a) CD28mIgG or with (b) a Fab reactive with the 2H7 specificity. The results show that the presence of the
H6 linker results in the generation of cleaved forms of the multivalent constructs which are missing the CD28 binding specificity.
Figure 10 shows binding curves of the different linker variants for the [TRU015-sss-IgG-Hx-2el2 HL] H1-H6 linker forms. The first panel shows the binding curves for binding to CD20 expressing W1L-2S cells. The second panel shows the binding curves for binding of the different forms to CD28 CHO cells.

These binding curves were generated with serial dilutions of protein A purified fusion protein, and binding detected using F1TC conjugated goat anti-human IgG at 1:100.
Figure 11 shows a table summarizing the results of SEC fractionation of 2H7sss-IgG-2el2 HL multispecific fusion proteins with variant linkers H1-H7. Each row in the table lists a different linker variant of the [2H7-sss-IgG-Hx-2el2-HL] fusion proteins. The retention time of the peak of interest (POI), and the percentage of the fusion protein present in POI, and the percentage of protein found in other forms is also tabulated. The cleavage of the molecules is also listed, with the degree of cleavage indicated in a qualitative way, with (Yes), Yes, and YES, or No being the four possible choices.
Figure 12 shows two graphs with binding curves for [2H7-sss-hIgG-Hx-2el2] multispecific fusion proteins with variant linkers H3, H6, and H7 linkers to cells expressing CD20 or CD28, Serial dilutions of the protein A purified fusion proteins from 10 pg/ml down to 0.005 pg/ml were incubated with either CD20 expressing
WIL-2S cells or CD28 CHO cells. Binding was detected using FITC conjugated goat anti-human IgG at 1:100. Panel A shows the binding to WIL-2S cells, and panel B shows the binding to CD28 CHO cells.
Figure 13 shows the results of an alternative binding assay generated by the molecules used for Figure 12. In this case, the fusion proteins were first bound to
WIL-2S CD20 expressing cells, and binding was then detected with CD28mIgG (5 qg/ml)and FITC anti-mouse reagent at 1:100. These results demonstrate the simultaneous binding to both CD20 and CD28 in the same molecule.
Figure 14 shows results obtained using another multispecific fusion construct variant. In this case, modifications were made in the specificity for BD2, so that the
V regions for the G28-1 antibody were used to create a CD37 specific binding domain. Shown are two graphs which illustrate the relative ability of CD20 and/or CD37 antibodies to block the binding of the [2H7-sss-IgG-Hx-G28-l] multispecific fusion protein to Ramos or BJAB cells expressing the CD20 and CD37 targets. Each cell type was preincubated with either the CD20 specific antibody (25 gg/ml) or the
CD37 specific antibody (10 pg/ml) or both reagents (these are mouse anti-human reagents) prior to incubation with the multispecific fusion protein. Binding of the
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 multispecific fusion protein was then detected with a FITC goat anti-human IgG reagent at 1:100, (preadsorbed to mouse to eliminate cross-reactivity).
Figure 15 shows the results of an ADCC assay performed with BJAB target cells, PBMC effector cells, and with the CD20-hIgG-CD37 specific fusion protein as the test reagent. For a full description of the procedure see the appropriate example. The graph plots the concentration of fusion protein versus the % specific killing at each dosage tested for the single specificity SMIP reagents, and for the [2H7-ssshIgG-STDl-G28-l] LH and HL variants. Each data series plots the dose-response effects for one of these single specificity or multispecific single-chain fusion proteins.
Figure 16 shows a table tabulating the results of a co-culture experiment where PBMC were cultured in the presence of TRU 015, G28-1 SMIP, both molecules together, or the [2H7-sss-IgG-H7-G28-lHL] variant. The fusion proteins were used at 20 pg/ml, and incubated for 24 hours or 72 hours. Samples were then stained with CD3 antibodies conjugated to FITC, and either CD 19 or CD40 specific antibodies conjugated to PE, then subjected to flow cytometry. The percentage of cells in each gate was then tabulated.
Figure 17 shows two columnar graphs of the effects on B cell line apoptosis after 24 hour incubation with the [2H7-sss-hlgG-H7-G28-l HL] molecule or control single CD20 and/or CD37 specificity SMIPs alone or in combination. The percentage of annexin V-propidium iodide positive cells is plotted as a function of the type of test reagent used for the coincubation experiments, Panel A shows the results obtained using Ramos cells, and panel B shows those for Daudi cells. Each single CD20 or CD37 directed SMIP is shown at the concentrations indicated; in addition, where combinations of the two reagents were used, the relative amount of each reagent is shown in parentheses. For the multispecific CD20-CD37 fusion protein, concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 pg/ml were tested.
Figure 18 shows two graphs ofthe [2H7-hIgG-G19-4] molecule variants and their binding to either CD3 expressing cells (Jurkats) or CD20 expressing cells (WIL2S). The molecules include [2H7-sss-hIgG-STDl-G19-4 HL], LH, and [2H7-csc30 hIgG-STDl-G19-4 HL], Protein A purified fusion proteins were titrated from 20 pg/ml down to 0.05 pg/ml, and the binding detected using FITC goat anti-human IgG

PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 at 1:100. MFI (mean fluorescence intensity) is plotted as a function of protein concentration.
Figure 19 shows the results of ADCC assays performed with the [2H7-hIgGSTD1-G19-4 HL] molecule variants with either an SSS hinge or a CSC hinge, BJAB target cells, and either total human PBMC as effector cells or NK cell depleted PBMC as effector cells. Killing was scored as a function of concentration of the multispecific fusion proteins. The killing observed with these molecules was compared to that seen using G19-4, TRU 015, or a combination of these two reagents. Each data series plots a different test reagent, with the percent specific killing plotted as a function of protein concentration.
Figure 20 shows the percentage of Ramos B-cells that stained positive with Annexin V (Ann) and/or propidium iodide (PI) after overnight incubation with each member of a matrix panel of B-cell antibodies (2 pg/ml) in the presence, or absence, of an anti-CD20 antibody (present at 2 pg/ml where added). Goat-anti-mouse secondary antibody was always present at a two-fold concentration ratio relative to other antibodies (either matrix antibody alone, or matrix antibody and anti-CD20 antibody). Vertically striped bars - matrix antibody (2 pg/ml) denoted on X-axis and goat anti-mouse antibody (4 pg/ml).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention provides compositions of relatively small peptides having at least two binding regions or domains, which may provide one or more binding specificities, derived from variable binding domains of immunoglobulins, such as antibodies, disposed terminally relative to an effector domain comprising at least part of an immunoglobulin constant region (i.e., a source from which a constant sub-region, as defined herein, may be derived), as well as nucleic acids, vectors and host cells involved in the recombinant production of such peptides and methods of using the peptide compositions in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications, including the treatment of a disorder as well as the amelioration of at least one symptom of such a disorder. The peptide compositions advantageously arrange a second binding domain C-terminal to the effector domain, an arrangement that unexpectedly provides sterically unhindered or less hindered binding by at least two binding domains of the peptide, while retaining an effector function or functions of the centrally disposed effector domain.

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
The first and second binding domains of the multivalent peptides according to the invention may be the same (i.e., have identical or substantially identical amino acid sequences and be monospecific) or different (and be multispecific). Although different in terms of primary structure, the first and second binding domains may recognize and bind to the same epitope of a target molecule and would therefore be monospecific. In many instances, however, the binding domains will differ structurally and will bind to different binding sites, resulting in a multivalent, multispecific protein. Those different binding sites may exist on a single target molecule or on different target molecules. In the case of the two binding molecules recognizing different target molecules, those target molecules may exist, e.g., on or in the same structure (e.g., the surface of the same cell), or those target molecules may exist on or in separate structures or locales. For example, a multispecific binding protein according to the invention may have binding domains that specifically bind to target molecule on the surfaces of distinct cell types. Alternatively, one binding domain may specifically bind to a target on a cell surface and the other binding domain may specifically bind to a target not found associated with a cell, such as an extracellular structural (matrix) protein or a free (e.g., soluble or stromal) protein.
The first and second binding domains are derived from one or more regions of the same, or different, immunoglobulin protein structures such as antibody molecules.
The first and/or second binding domain may exhibit a sequence identical to the sequence of a region of an immunoglobulin, or may be a modification of such a sequence to provide, e.g., altered binding properties or altered stability. Such modifications are known in the art and include alterations in amino acid sequence that contribute directly to the altered property such as altered binding, for example by leading to an altered secondary or higher order structure for the peptide. Also contemplated are modified amino acid sequences resulting from the incorporation of non-native amino acids, such as non-native conventional amino acids, unconventional amino acids and imino acids. In some embodiments, the altered sequence results in altered post-translational processing, for example leading to an altered glycosylation pattern.
Any of a wide variety of binding domains derived from an immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin-like polypeptide (e.g., receptor) are contemplated for use in
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 scorpions. Binding domains derived from antibodies comprise the CDR regions of a Vl and a Vh domain, seen, e.g., in the context of using a binding domain from a humanized antibody. Binding domains comprising complete Vl and Vh domains derived from an antibody may be organized in either orientation. A scorpion according to the invention may have any of the binding domains herein described.
For scorpions having at least one binding domain recognizing a B-cell, exemplary scorpions have at least one binding domain derived from CD3, CD 10, CD 19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD37, CD38, CD39, CD40, CD72, CD73, CD74, CDw75, CDw76, CD77, CD78, CD79a/b, CD80, CD81, CD82, CD83, CD84, CD85,
CD86, CD89, CD98, CD126, CD127, CDwl30, CD138 or CDwl50. In some embodiments, the scorpion is a multivalent binding protein comprising at least one binding domain having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 2,4, 6, 103, 105, 107 and 109. In some embodiments, a scorpion comprises a binding domain comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of any of
SEQ ID NOS: 332-345. In some embodiments, a scorpion comprises a binding domain comprising a sequence derived from immunoglobulin Vl and Vh domains, wherein the sequence is selected from the group consisting of any of SEQ ID NOS: 355-365. The invention further contemplates scorpions comprising a binding domain that has the opposite orientation of Vl and Vh having sequences deducible from any of SEQ IDNOS:355-365.
For embodiments in which either, or both, of the binding domains are derived from more than one region of an immunoglobulin (e.g., an Ig Vl region and an Ig Vh region), the plurality of regions may be joined by a linker peptide. Moreover, a linker may be used to join the first binding domain to a constant sub-region. Joinder of the constant sub-region to a second binding domain (i.e., binding domain 2 disposed towards the C-terminus of a scorpion) is accomplished by a scorpion linker. These scorpion linkers are preferably between about 2-45 amino acids, or 2-38 amino acids, or 5-45 amino acids. For example, the Hl linker is 2 amino acids in length and the STD2 linker is 38 amino acids in length, Beyond general length considerations, a scorpion linker region suitable for use in the scorpions according to the invention includes an antibody hinge region selected from the group consisting of IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE hinges and variants thereof. For example, the scorpion linker may be an antibody hinge region selected from the group consisting of human IgGl, human
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
IgG2, human IgG3, and human IgG4, and variants thereof. In some embodiments, the scorpion linker region has a single cysteine residue for formation of an interchain disulfide bond. In other embodiments, the scorpion linker has two cysteine residues for formation of interchain disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, a scorpion linker region is derived from an immunoglobulin hinge region or a C-lectin stalk region and comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 111, 113, 115, 117, 119, 121, 123, 125,127, 129, 131, 133, 135, 149, 151, 153, 155, 157, 159, 161, 163, 165, 167, 169,231,233,235,237, 239, 241,243,245,247,249,251,253, 255, 257, 259,261, 263,265,267,269,271,273,275, 277, 279, 281, 287, 289, 297,
305,307,309, 310, 311, 313, 314, 315, 316,317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324,
325, 326,327, 328, 329, 330,331,346, 351, 352, 353, 354, 373, 374, 375, 376 and 377. More generally, any sequence of amino acids identified in the sequence listing as providing a sequence derived from a hinge region is contemplated for use as a scorpion linker in the scorpion molecules according to the invention. In addition, a scorpion linker derived from an Ig hinge is a hinge-like peptide domain having at least one free cysteine capable of participating in an interchain disulfide bond. Preferably, a scorpion linker derived from an Ig hinge peptide retains a cysteine that corresponds to the hinge cysteine disposed towards the N-terminus of that hinge. Preferably, a scorpion linker derived from an IgG 1 hinge has one cysteine or has two cysteines corresponding to hinge cysteines. Additionally, a scorpion linker is a stalk region of a Type II C-lectin molecule. In some embodiments, a scorpion comprises a scorpion linker having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:373-377.
The centrally disposed constant sub-region is derived from a constant region of an immunoglobulin protein. The constant sub-region generally is derived from a
CH2 portion of a Ch region of an immunoglobulin in the abstract, although it may be derived from a Ch2-Ch3 portion. Optionally, the constant sub-region may be derived from a hinge-Cm or hinge-CH2-CH3 portion of an immunoglobulin, placing a peptide corresponding to an Ig hinge region N-terminal to the constant sub-region and disposed between the constant sub-region and binding domain 1. Also, portions of the constant sub-region may be derived from the Ch regions of different immunoglobulins. Further, the peptide corresponding to an Ig CH3 may be truncated, leaving a C-terminal amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:366-371, It is preferred, however, that in embodiments in which a scorpion
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 hinge is a hinge-like peptide derived from an immunoglobulin hinge, that the scorpion linker and the constant sub-region be derived from the same type of immunoglobulin. The constant sub-region provides at least one activity associated with a Ch region of an immunoglobulin, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), protein A binding, binding to at least one Fc receptor, reproducibly detectable stability relative to a protein according to the invention except for the absence of a constant sub-region, and perhaps placental transfer where generational transfer of a molecule according to the invention would be advantageous, as recognized by one of skill in the art. As with the above-described binding domains, the constant sub-region is derived from at least one immunoglobulin molecule and exhibits an identical or substantially identical amino acid sequence to a region or regions of at least one immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the constant sub-region is modified from the sequence or sequences of at least one immunoglobulin (by substitution of one or more non-native conventional or unconventional, e.g., synthetic, amino acids or imino acids), resulting in a primary structure that may yield an altered secondary or higher order structure with altered properties associated therewith, or may lead to alterations in post-translational processing, such as gly cosy lation.
For those binding domains and constant sub-regions exhibiting an identical or substantially identical amino acid sequence to one or more immunoglobulin polypeptides, the post-translational modifications of the molecule according to the invention may result in a molecule modified relative to the immunoglobulin(s) serving as a basis for modification. For example, using techniques known in the art, a host cell may be modified, e.g. a CHO cell, in a manner that leads to an altered polypeptide glycosylation pattern relative to that polypeptide in an unmodified (e.g., CHO) host cell.
Provided with such molecules, and the methods of recombinantly producing them in vivo, new avenues of targeted diagnostics and therapeutics have been opened to allow, e.g., for the targeted recruitment of effector cells of the immune system (e.g., cytotoxic T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and the like) to cells, tissues, agents and foreign objects to be destroyed or sequestered, such as cancer cells and infectious agents. In addition to localizing therapeutic cells to a site of treatment, the peptides
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 are useful in localizing therapeutic compounds, such as radiolabeled proteins.
Further, the peptides are also useful in scavenging deleterious compositions, for example by associating a deleterious composition, such as a toxin, with a cell capable of destroying or eliminating that toxin (e.g., a macrophage). The molecules of the invention are useful in modulating the activity of binding partner molecules, such as cell surface receptors. This is shown in Figure 17 where apoptotic signaling through CD20 and/or CD37 is markedly enhanced by a molecule of the present invention.
The effect of this signaling is the death of the targeted cell. Diseases and conditions where the elimination of defined cell populations is beneficial would include infectious and parasitic diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, malignancies, and the like. One skilled in the art would recognize that there is no limitation of the approach to the enhancement of apoptotic signaling. Mitotic signaling and signaling leading to differentiation, activation, or inactivation of defined cell populations can be induced by molecules of the present invention through the appropriate selection of binding partner molecules. Further consideration of the disclosure of the invention will be facilitated by a consideration of the following express definitions of terms used herein.
A “single-chain binding protein” is a single contiguous arrangement of covalently linked amino acids, with the chain capable of specifically binding to one or more binding partners sharing sufficient determinants of a binding site to be detectably bound by the single-chain binding protein. Exemplary binding partners include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and small molecules.
For ease of exposition, “derivatives” and “variants” of proteins, polypeptides, and peptides according to the invention are described in terms of differences from proteins and/or polypeptides and/or peptides according to the invention, meaning that the derivatives and variants, which are proteins/polypeptides/peptides according to the invention, differ from underivatized or non-variant proteins, polypeptides or peptides of the invention in the manner defined. One of skill in the art would understand that the derivatives and variants themselves are proteins, polypeptides and peptides according to the invention.
An “antibody” is given the broadest definition consistent with its meaning in the art, and includes proteins, polypeptides and peptides capable of binding to at least
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 one binding partner, such as a proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous antigen. An “antibody” as used herein includes members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins, of any species, of single- or multiple-chain composition, and variants, analogs, derivatives and fragments of such molecules. Specifically, an “antibody” includes any form of antibody known in the art, including but not limited to, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, humanized antibodies, single-chain variable fragments, bi-specific antibodies, diabodies, antibody fusions, and the like.
A “binding domain” is a peptide region, such as a fragment of a polypeptide 10 derived from an immunoglobulin (e.g., an antibody), that specifically binds one or more specific binding partners. If a plurality of binding partners exists, those partners share binding determinants sufficient to detectably bind to the binding domain. Preferably, the binding domain is a contiguous sequence of amino acids.
An “epitope” is given its ordinary meaning herein of a single antigenic site,
i.e., an antigenic determinant, on a substance (e.g., a protein) with which an antibody specifically interacts, for example by binding. Other terms that have acquired wellsettled meanings in the immunoglobulin (e.g., antibody) art, such as a “variable light region,” variable heavy region,” “constant light region,” constant heavy region,” “antibody hinge region,” “complementarity determining region,” “framework region,” “antibody isotype,” “Fc region,” “single-chain variable fragment” or “scFv,” “diabody,” “chimera,” “CDR-grafted antibody,” “humanized antibody,” “shaped antibody,” “antibody fusion,” and the like, are each given those well-settled meanings known in the art, unless otherwise expressly noted herein.
Terms understood by those in the art as referring to antibody technology are each given the meaning acquired in the art, unless expressly defined herein.
Examples of such terms are “Vl” and “Vh”, referring to the variable binding region derived from an antibody light and heavy chain, respectively; and Cl and Ch, referring to an “immunoglobulin constant region,” i.e., a constant region derived from an antibody light or heavy chain, respectively, with the latter region understood to be further divisible into CHi, Ch2, CH3 and Ch4 constant region domains, depending on the antibody isotype (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM) from which the region was derived. CDR means “complementarity determining region.” A “hinge region” is derived
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 from the amino acid sequence interposed between, and connecting, the Chi and Ch2 regions of a single chain of an antibody, which is known in the art as providing flexibility, in the form of a “hinge,” to whole antibodies.
A “constant sub-region” is a term defined herein to refer to a peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence that corresponds to, or is derived from, one or more constant region domains of an antibody. Thus, a constant sub-region may include any or all of the following domains: a Chi domain, a hinge region, a Ch2 domain, a Ch3 domain (IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE, and IgM), and a Ch4 domain (IgE, IgM). A constant sub-region as defined herein, therefore, can refer to a polypeptide region corresponding to an entire constant region of an antibody, or a portion thereof. Typically, a constant sub-region of a polypeptide, or encoding nucleic acid, of the invention has a hinge, Ch2 domain, and Ch3 domain.
An “effector function” is a function associated with or provided by a constant region of an antibody. Exemplary effector functions include antibody-dependent cell15 mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement activation and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, and increased plasma half-life, as well as placental transfer. An effector function of a composition according to the invention is detectable; preferably, the specific activity of the composition according to the invention for that function is about the same as the specific activity of a wild-type antibody with respect to that effector function, i.e., the constant sub-region of the multivalent binding molecule preferably has not lost any effector function relative to a wild-type antibody]
A “linker” is a peptide, or polynucleotide, that joins or links other peptides or polynucleotides. Typically, a peptide linker is an oligopeptide of from about 2-50 amino acids, with typical polynucleotide linkers encoding such a peptide linker and, thus, being about 6-150 nucleotides in length. Linkers join the first binding domain to a constant sub-region domain. An exemplary peptide linker is (Gly4Ser)3. A scorpion linker is used to join the C-terminal end of a constant sub-region to a second binding domain. The scorpion linker may be derived from an immunoglobulin hinge region or from the stalk region of a type II C-lectin, as described in greater detail below.
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
A “target” is given more than one meaning, with the context of usage defining an unambiguous meaning in each instance. In its narrowest sense, a “target” is a binding site, i.e., the binding domain of a binding partner for a peptide composition according to the invention. In a broader sense, “target” or “molecular target” refers to the entire binding partner (e.g., a protein), which necessarily exhibits the binding site. Specific targets, such as “CD20,” “CD37,” and the like, are each given the ordinary meaning the term has acquired in the art. A “target cell” is any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell, whether healthy or diseased, that is associated with a target molecule according to the invention. Of course, target molecules are also found unassociated with any cell (i.e., a cell-free target) or in association with other compositions such as viruses (including bacteriophage), organic or inorganic target molecule carriers, and foreign objects.
Examples of materials with which a target molecule may be associated include autologous cells (e.g., cancer cells or other diseased cells), infectious agents (e.g., infectious cells and infectious viruses), and the like. A target molecule may be associated with an enucleated cell, a cell membrane, a liposome, a sponge, a gel, a capsule, a tablet, and the like, which may be used to deliver, transport or localize a target molecule, regardless of intended use (e.g., for medical treatment, as a result of benign or unintentional provision, or to further a bioterrorist threat). “Cell-free,” “virus-free,” “carrier-free,” “object-free,” and the like refer to target molecules that are not associated with the specified composition or material.
“Binding affinity” refers to the strength of non-covalent binding of the peptide compositions of the invention and their binding partners. Preferably, binding affinity refers to a quantitative measure of the attraction between members of a binding pair,
An “adjuvant” is a substance that increases or aids the functional effect of a compound with which it is in association, such as in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent and an adjuvant.

Using the terms as defined above, a general description of the various aspects of the invention is provided below. Following the general description, working examples are presented to provide supplementary evidence of the operability and usefulness of the invention disclosed herein.
Proteins and polypeptides
In certain embodiments of the invention, there are provided any of the hereindescribed multivalent binding proteins with effector function, including binding domain-immunoglobulin fusion proteins, wherein the multivalent binding protein or peptide with effector function comprises two or more binding domain polypeptide sequences. Each of the binding domain polypeptide sequences is capable of binding or specifically binding to a target(s), such as an antigen(s), which target(s) or antigen(s) may be the same or may be different. The binding domain polypeptide sequence may be derived from an antigen variable region or it may be derived from immunoglobulin-like molecules, e.g., receptors that fold in ways that mimic immunoglobulin molecules. The antibodies from which the binding domains are derived may be antibodies that are polyclonal, including monospecific polyclonal, monoclonal (mAbs), recombinant, chimeric, humanized (such as CDR-grafted), human, single-chain, catalytic, and any other form of antibody known in the art, as well as fragments, variants or derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, each of the binding domains of the protein according to the invention is derived from a complete variable region of an immunoglobulin. In preferred embodiments, the binding domains are each based on a human Ig variable region. In other embodiments, the protein is derived from a fragment of an Ig variable region. In such embodiments, it
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 is preferred that each binding domain polypeptide sequence correspond to the sequences of each of the complementarity determining regions of a given Ig variable region. Also contemplated within the invention are binding domains that correspond to fewer than all CDRs of a given Ig variable region, provided that such binding domains retain the capacity to specifically bind to at least one target.
The multivalent binding protein with effector function also has a constant subregion sequence derived from an immunoglobulin constant region, preferably an antibody heavy chain constant region, covalently juxtaposed between the two binding domains in the multivalent binding protein with effector function.
The multivalent binding protein with effector function also has a scorpion linker that joins the C-terminal end of the constant sub-region to the N-terminal end of binding domain 2. The scorpion linker is not a helical peptide and may be derived from an antibody hinge region, from a region connecting binding domains of an immunoglobulin, or from the stalk region of type II C-lectins. The scorpion tinker may be derived from a wild-type hinge region of an immunoglobulin, such as an
IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, lgG4, IgA, IgD or an IgE hinge region. In other embodiments, the invention provides multivalent binding proteins with altered hinges. One category of altered hinge regions suitable for inclusion in the multivalent binding proteins is the category of hinges with an altered number of Cysteine residues, particularly those Cys residues known in the art to be involved in interchain disulfide bond formation in immunoglobulin counterpart molecules having wild-type hinges. Thus, proteins may have an IgGl hinge in which one of the three Cys residues capable of participating in interchain disulfide bond formations is missing. To indicate the Cysteine substructure of altered hinges, the Cys subsequence is presented from N- to C-terminus.
Using this identification system, the multivalent binding proteins with altered IgG hinges include hinge structures characterized as cxc, xxc, ccx, xxc, xcx, cxx, and xxx. The Cys residue may be either deleted or substituted by an amino acid that results in a conservative substitution or a non-conservative substitution. In some embodiments, the Cysteine is replaced by a Serine. For proteins with scorpion linkers comprising
IgGl hinges, the number of cysteines corresponding to hinge cysteines is reduced to 1 or 2, preferably with one of those cysteines corresponding to the hinge cysteine disposed closest to the N-terminus of the hinge.
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
For proteins with scorpion linkers comprising IgG2 hinges, there may be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 Cys residues. Forscorpion linkers comprising altered IgG2 hinges containing 1, 2 or 3 Cys residues, all possible subsets of Cys residues are contemplated. Thus, for such linkers having one Cys, the multivalent binding proteins may have the following Cys motif in the hinge region: cxxx, xcxx, xxcx, or xxxc. For scorpion linkers comprising IgG2 hinge variants having 2 or 3 Cys residues, all possible combinations of retained and substituted (or deleted) Cys residues are contemplated. For multivalent binding proteins with scorpion linkers comprising altered IgG3 or altered IgG4 hinge regions, a reduction in Cys residues from 1 to one less than the complete number of Cys residues in the hinge region is contemplated, regardless of whether the loss is through deletion or substitution by conservative or non-conservative amino acids (e.g,, Serine). In like manner, multivalent binding proteins having a scorpion linker comprising a wild-type IgA,
IgD or IgE hinge are contemplated, as are corresponding altered hinge regions having a reduced number of Cys residues extending from 0 to one less than the total number of Cys residues found in the corresponding wild-type hinge. In some embodiments having an IgGl hinge, the first, or N-terminal, Cys residue of the hinge is retained.
For proteins with either wild-type or altered hinge regions, it is contemplated that the multivalent binding proteins will be single-chain molecules capable of forming homo20 multimers, such as dimers, e.g., by disulfide bond formation. Further, proteins with altered hinges may have alterations at the termini of the hinge region, e.g., loss or substitution of one or more amino acid residues at the N-terminus, C-terminus or both termini of a given region or domain, such as a hinge domain, as disclosed herein.
In another exemplary embodiment, the constant sub-region is derived from a constant region that comprises a native, or an engineered, IgD hinge region. The wild-type human IgD hinge has one cysteine that forms a disulfide bond with the light chain in the native IgD structure. In some embodiments, this IgD hinge cysteine is mutated (e.g., deleted) to generate an altered hinge for use as a connecting region between binding domains of, for example, a bispecific molecule. Other amino acid changes or deletions or alterations in an IgD hinge that do not result in undesired hinge inflexibility are within the scope of the invention. Native or engineered IgD hinge regions from other species are also within the scope of the invention, as are humanized native or engineered IgD hinges from non-human species, and (other non
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
IgD) hinge regions from other human, or non-human, antibody isotypes, (such as the llama IgG2 hinge).
The invention further comprehends constant sub-regions attached to scorpion linkers that may be derived from hinges that correspond to a known hinge region, such as an IgG 1 hinge or an IgD hinge, as noted above. The constant sub-region may contain a modified or altered (relative to wild-type) hinge region in which at least one cysteine residue known to participate in inter-chain disulfide bond linkage is replaced by another amino acid in a conservative substitution (e.g., Ser for Cys) or a nonconservative substitution. The constant sub-region does not include a peptide region or domain that corresponds to an immunoglobulin Chi domain.
Alternative hinge and linker sequences that can be used as connecting regions are from portions of cell surface receptors that connect immunoglobulin V-like or immunoglobulin C-like domains. Regions between Ig V-like domains where the cell surface receptor contains multiple Ig V-like domains in tandem, and between Ig C15 like domains where the cell surface receptor contains multiple tandem Ig C-like regions are also contemplated as connecting regions. Hinge and linker sequences are typically from 5 to 60 amino acids long, and may be primarily flexible, but may also provide more rigid characteristics. In addition, linkers frequently provide spacing that facilitates minimization of steric hindrance between the binding domains. Preferably, these hinge and linker peptides are primarily a helical in structure, with minimal β sheet structure. The preferred sequences are stable in plasma and serum and are resistant to proteolytic cleavage. The preferred sequences may contain a naturally occurring or added motif such as the CPPC motif that confers a disulfide bond to stabilize dimer formation. The preferred sequences may contain one or more glycosylation sites. Examples of preferred hinge and linker sequences include, but are not limited to, the interdomain regions between the Ig V-like and Ig C-like regions of CD2, CD4, CD22, CD33, CD48, CD58, CD66, CD80, CD86, CD150, CD166, and CD244.
The constant sub-region may be derived from a camelid constant region, such as either a llama or camel IgG2 or IgG3.

Specifically contemplated is a constant sub-region having the Ch2-Ch3 region from any Ig class, or from any IgG subclass, such as IgGl (e.g., human IgGl). In preferred embodiments, the constant sub-region and the scorpion linker derived from an immunoglobulin hinge are both derived from the same Ig class. In other preferred embodiments, the constant sub-region and the scorpion linker derived from an immunoglobulin hinge are both derived from the same Ig sub-class. The constant sub-region also may be a CH3 domain from any Ig class or subclass, such as IgGl (e.g., human IgGl), provided that it is associated with at least one immunoglobulin effector function.
The constant sub-region does not correspond to a complete immunoglobulin constant region (i.e., CHi-hinge-CH2-CH3) of the IgG class. The constant sub-region may correspond to a complete immunoglobulin constant region of other classes., IgA constant domains, such as an IgAl hinge, an IgA2 hinge, an IgA Ch2 and an IgA Chs domains with a mutated or missing tailpiece are also contemplated as constant sub15 regions. Further, any light chain constant domain may function as a constant subregion, e.g., Cr or any Cl. The constant sub-region may also include JH or JK, with or without a hinge. The constant sub-region may also correspond to engineered antibodies in which, e.g., a loop graft has been constructed by making selected amino acid substitutions using an IgG framework to generate a binding site for a receptor other than a natural FcR (CD16, CD32, CD64, FcERl), as would be understood in the art. An exemplary constant sub-region of this type is an IgG Ch2-Ch3 region modified to have a CD89 binding site.
This aspect of the invention provides a multivalent binding protein or peptide having effector function, comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of (a) an
N-terminally disposed binding domain polypeptide sequence derived from an immunoglobulin that is fused or otherwise connected to (b) a constant sub-region polypeptide sequence derived from an immunoglobulin constant region, which preferably includes a hinge region sequence, wherein the hinge region polypeptide may be as described herein, and may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of, for example, an alternative hinge region polypeptide sequence, in turn fused or otherwise connected to (c) a C-terminally disposed second native or engineered binding domain polypeptide sequence derived from an immunoglobulin.

The centrally disposed constant sub-region polypeptide sequence derived from an immunoglobulin constant region is capable of at least one immunological activity selected from the group consisting of antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, CDC, complement fixation, and Fc receptor binding, and the binding domain polypeptides are each capable of binding or specifically binding to a target, such as an antigen, wherein the targets may be the same or different, and may be found in effectively the same physiological environment (e.g., the surface of the same cell) or in different environments (e.g., different cell surfaces, a cell surface and a cell-free location, such as in solution).
This aspect of the invention also comprehends variant proteins or polypeptides exhibiting an effector function that are at least 80%, and preferably 85%, 90%, 95% or 99% identical to a multivalent protein with effector function of specific sequence as disclosed herein.
Polynucleotides
The invention also provides polynucleotides (isolated or purified or pure polynucleotides) encoding the proteins or peptides according to the invention, vectors (including cloning vectors and expression vectors) comprising such polynucleotides, and cells (e.g., host cells) transformed or transfected with a polynucleotide or vector according to the invention. In encoding the proteins or polypeptides of the invention, the polynucleotides encode a first binding domain, a second binding domain and an Fc domain, all derived from immunoglobulins, preferably human immunoglobulins. Each binding domain may contain a sequence corresponding to a full-length variable region sequence (either heavy chain and/or light chain), or to a partial sequence thereof, provided that each such binding domain retains the capacity to specifically bind. The Fc domain may have a sequence that corresponds to a full-length immunoglobulin Fc domain sequence or to a partial sequence thereof, provided that the Fc domain exhibits at least one effector function as defined herein. In addition, each of the binding domains may be joined to the Fc domain via a linker peptide that typically is at least 8, and preferably at least 13, amino acids in length. A preferred linker sequence is a sequence based on the Gly^Ser motif, such as (Gly4Ser)3.
Variants of the multivalent binding protein with effector function are also comprehended by the invention. Variant polynucleotides are at least 90%, and
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 preferably 95%, 99%, or 99.9% identical to one of the polynucleotides of defined sequence as described herein, or that hybridizes to one of those polynucleotides of defined sequence under stringent hybridization conditions of 0.015 M sodium chloride, 0.0015 M sodium citrate at 65-68°C or 0.015 M sodium chloride, 0.0015M sodium citrate, and 50% formamide at 42°C. The polynucleotide variants retain the capacity to encode a multivalent binding protein with effector function.
The term “stringent” is used to refer to conditions that are commonly understood in the art as stringent. Hybridization stringency is principally determined by temperature, ionic strength, and the concentration of denaturing agents such as formamide. Examples of stringent conditions for hybridization and washing are 0.015
M sodium chloride, 0.0015 M sodium citrate at 65-68°C or 0.015 M sodium chloride, 0.0015M sodium citrate, and 50% formamide at 42°C. See Sambrook et al.,
Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. 1989).
More stringent conditions (such as higher temperature, lower ionic strength, higher formamide, or other denaturing agent) may also be used; however, the rate of hybridization will be affected. In instances wherein hybridization of deoxyoligonucleotides is concerned, additional exemplary stringent hybridization conditions include washing in 6x SSC, 0.05% sodium pyrophosphate at 37°C (for 1420 base oligonucleotides), 48°C (for 17-base oligonucleotides), 55°C (for 20-base oligonucleotides), and 60°C (for 23-base oligonucleotides).
In a related aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of producing a polypeptide or protein or other construct of the invention, for example, including a multivalent binding protein or peptide having effector function, comprising the steps of (a) culturing a host cell as described or provided for herein under conditions that permit expression of the construct; and (b) isolating the expression product, for example, the multivalent binding protein or peptide with effector function from the host cell or host cell culture.
Constructs
The present invention also relates to vectors, and to constructs prepared from known vectors, that each include a polynucleotide or nucleic acid of the invention,
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 and in particular to recombinant expression constructs, including any of various known constructs, including delivery constructs, useful for gene therapy, that include any nucleic acids encoding multivalent, for example, multispecific, including bispecific, binding proteins and polypeptides with effector function, as provided herein;
to host cells which are genetically engineered with vectors and/or other constructs of the invention and to methods of administering expression or other constructs comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding multivalent, for example, multispecific, including bi-specific, binding proteins with effector function, or fragments or variants thereof, by recombinant techniques.
Various constructs of the invention including multivalent, for example, multispecific binding proteins with effector function, can be expressed in virtually any host cell, including in vivo host cells in the case of use for gene therapy, under the control of appropriate promoters, depending on the nature of the construct (e.g., type of promoter, as described above), and on the nature of the desired host cell (e.g., postmitotic terminally differentiated or actively dividing; e.g., maintenance of an expressible construct as an episome or integrated into the host cell genome).
Appropriate cloning and expression vectors for use with prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts are described, for example, in Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning:
A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, (1989). Exemplary cloning/expression vectors include, but are not limited to, cloning vectors, shuttle vectors, and expression constructs, that may be based on plasmids, phagemids, phasmids, cosmids, viruses, artificial chromosomes, or any nucleic acid vehicle suitable for amplification, transfer, and/or expression of a polynucleotide contained therein that is known in the art. As noted herein, in preferred embodiments of the invention, recombinant expression is conducted in mammalian cells that have been transfected, transformed or transduced with a nucleic acid according to the invention.

Typically, expression constructs are derived from plasmid vectors. One preferred construct is a modified pNASS vector (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA), which has nucleic acid sequences encoding an ampicillin resistance gene, a polyadenylation signal and a T7 promoter site. Other suitable mammalian expression vectors are well known (see, e.g., Ausubel et al., 1995; Sambrook etal., supra·, see also, e.g., catalogues from Invitrogen, San Diego, CA; Novagen, Madison, WI; Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). Presently preferred constructs may be prepared that include a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-encoding sequence under suitable regulatory control, for promoting enhanced production levels of the multivalent binding protein with effector function, which levels result from gene amplification following application of an appropriate selection agent (e.g., methotrexate).
Generally, recombinant expression vectors will include origins of replication and selectable markers permitting transformation of the host cell, and a promoter derived from a highly-expressed gene to direct transcription of a downstream structural sequence, as described above. A vector in operable linkage with a polynucleotide according to the invention yields a cloning or expression construct. Exemplary cloning/expression constructs contain at least one expression control element, e.g,, a promoter, operably linked to a polynucleotide ofthe invention. Additional expression control elements, such as enhancers, factor-specific binding sites, terminators, and ribosome binding sites are also contemplated in the vectors and cloning/expression constructs according to the invention. The heterologous structural sequence of the polynucleotide according to the invention is assembled in appropriate phase with translation initiation and termination sequences. Thus, for example, the
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 multivalent binding protein-encoding nucleic acids as provided herein may be included in any one of a variety of expression vector constructs as a recombinant expression construct for expressing such a protein in a host cell. In certain preferred embodiments the constructs, are included in formulations that are administered in vivo. Such vectors and constructs include chromosomal, nonchromosomal and synthetic DNA sequences, e.g., derivatives of SV40; bacterial plasmids; phage DNA; yeast plasmids; vectors derived from combinations of plasmids and phage DNA, viral DNA, such as vaccinia, adenovirus, fowl pox virus, and pseudorabies, or replication deficient retroviruses as described below. However, any other vector may be used for preparation of a recombinant expression construct, and in preferred embodiments such a vector will be replicable and viable in the host.
The appropriate DNA sequence(s) may be inserted into a vector, for example, by a variety of procedures. In general, a DNA sequence is inserted into an appropriate restriction endonuclease cleavage site(s) by procedures known in the art.
Standard techniques for cloning, DNA isolation, amplification and purification, for enzymatic reactions involving DNA ligase, DNA polymerase, restriction endonucleases and the like, and various separation techniques are contemplated. A number of standard techniques are described, for example, in Ausubel et al. (1993 Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene Publ. Assoc. Inc. & John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., Boston, MA); Sambrook et al. (1989 Molecular Cloning, Second Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Plainview, NY); Maniatis et al. (1982 Molecular Cloning, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Plainview, NY); Glover (Ed.) (1985 DNA Cloning Vol. I and II, IRL Press, Oxford, UK); Hames and Higgins (Eds.), (1985 Nucleic Acid Hybridization, IRL Press, Oxford, UK); and elsewhere.
The DNA sequence in the expression vector is operatively linked to at least one appropriate expression control sequence (e.g., a constitutive promoter or a regulated promoter) to direct mRNA synthesis. Representative examples of such expression control sequences include promoters of eukaryotic cells or their viruses, as described above. Promoter regions can be selected from any desired gene using CAT (chloramphenicol transferase) vectors or other vectors with selectable markers.
Eukaryotic promoters include CMV immediate early, HSV thymidine kinase, early and late SV40, LTRs from retrovirus, and mouse metallothionein-I. Selection of the
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 appropriate vector and promoter is well within the level of ordinary skill in the art, and preparation of certain particularly preferred recombinant expression constructs comprising at least one promoter or regulated promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a protein or polypeptide according to the invention is described herein.
Transcription of the DNA encoding proteins and polypeptides of the invention by higher eukaryotes may be increased by inserting an enhancer sequence into the vector. Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin bp 100 to 270, a cytomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers.
Gene therapies using the nucleic acids of the invention are also contemplated, comprising strategies to replace defective genes or add new genes to cells and/or tissues, and is being developed for application in the treatment of cancer, the correction of metabolic disorders and in the field of immunotherapy. Gene therapies of the invention include the use of various constructs of the invention, with or without a separate carrier or delivery vehicle or constructs, for treatment of the diseases, disorders, and/or conditions noted herein. Such constructs may also be used as vaccines for treatment or prevention of the diseases, disorders, and/or conditions noted herein. DNA vaccines, for example, make use of polynucleotides encoding immunogenic protein and nucleic acid determinants to stimulate the immune system against pathogens or tumor cells. Such strategies can stimulate either acquired or innate immunity or can involve the modification of immune function through cytokine expression. In vivo gene therapy involves the direct injection of genetic material into a patient or animal, typically to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or symptoms associated with a disease. Vaccines and immune modulation are systemic therapies. With tissue-specific in vivo therapies, such as those that aim to treat cancer, localized gene delivery and/or expression/targeting systems are preferred. Diverse gene therapy vectors that target specific tissues are known in the art, and procedures have been developed to physically target specific tissues, for example, using catheterbased technologies, all of which are contemplated herein.
Ex vivo approaches to gene therapy are also contemplated herein and involve the removal, genetic modification, expansion and re-administration of a subject’s, e.g., human patient's, own cells. Examples include bone marrow transplantation for
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 cancer treatment or the genetic modification of lymphoid progenitor cells. Ex vivo gene therapy is preferably applied to the treatment of cells that are easily accessible and can survive in culture during the gene transfer process (such as blood or skin cells).
Useful gene therapy vectors include adenoviral vectors, lentiviral vectors,
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) vectors, and retroviral vectors. Gene therapies may also be carried out using naked DNA, liposome-based delivery, lipid-based delivery (including DNA attached to positively charged lipids), electroporation, and ballistic projection.
In certain embodiments, including but not limited to gene therapy embodiments, the vector may be a viral vector such as, for example, a retroviral vector. Miller et al., 1989 BioTechniques 7:980; Coffin and Varmus, 1996 Retroviruses, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY. For example, retroviruses from which the retroviral plasmid vectors may be derived include, but are not limited to, Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus, spleen necrosis virus, retroviruses such as Rous Sarcoma Virus, Harvey Sarcoma virus, avian leukosis virus, gibbon ape leukemia virus, human immunodeficiency virus, adenovirus, Myeloproliferative Sarcoma Virus, and mammary tumor virus.
Retroviruses are RNA viruses which can replicate and integrate into the genome of a host cell via a DNA intermediate. This DNA intermediate, or provirus, may be stably integrated into the host cell DNA. According to certain embodiments of the present invention, an expression construct may comprise a retrovirus into which a foreign gene that encodes a foreign protein is incorporated in place of normal retroviral RNA. When retroviral RNA enters a host cell coincident with infection, the foreign gene is also introduced into the cell, and may then be integrated into host cell DNA as if it were part of the retroviral genome. Expression of this foreign gene within the host results in expression of the foreign protein.
Most retroviral vector systems that have been developed for gene therapy are based on murine retroviruses. Such retroviruses exist in two forms, as free viral particles referred to as virions, or as proviruses integrated into host cell DNA. The virion form of the virus contains the structural and enzymatic proteins of the
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 retrovirus (including the enzyme reverse transcriptase), two RNA copies of the viral genome, and portions of the source cell plasma membrane containing viral envelope glycoprotein. The retroviral genome is organized into four main regions: the Long Terminal Repeat (LTR), which contains czs-acting elements necessary for the initiation and termination of transcription and is situated both 5 ’ and 3 ’ to the coding genes, and the three genes encoding gag, pol, and env. These three genes, gag, pol, and env, encode, respectively, internal viral structures, enzymatic proteins (such as integrase), and the envelope glycoprotein (designated gp70 and pl5e) which confers infectivity and host range specificity of the virus, as well as the “R” peptide of undetermined function.
Separate packaging cell lines and vector-producing cell lines have been developed because of safety concerns regarding the uses of retroviruses, including uses in expression constructs. Briefly, this methodology employs the use of two components, a retroviral vector and a packaging cell line (PCL). The retroviral vector contains long terminal repeats (LTRs), the foreign DNA to be transferred and a packaging sequence (y). This retroviral vector will not reproduce by itself because the genes which encode structural and envelope proteins are not included within the vector genome. The PCL contains genes encoding the gag, pol, and env proteins, but does not contain the packaging signal “y.” Thus, a PCL can only form empty virion particles by itself Within this general method, the retroviral vector is introduced into the PCL, thereby creating a vector-producing cell line (VCL). This VCL manufactures virion particles containing only the foreign genome of the retroviral vector, and therefore has previously been considered to be a safe retrovirus vector for therapeutic use.
A “retroviral vector construct” refers to an assembly which is, within preferred embodiments of the invention, capable of directing the expression of a sequence(s) or gene(s) of interest, such as multivalent binding protein-encoding nucleic acid sequences. Briefly, the retroviral vector construct must include a 5' LTR, a tRNA binding site, a packaging signal, an origin of second strand DNA synthesis and a 3'
LTR. A wide variety of heterologous sequences may be included within the vector construct including, for example, sequences which encode a protein (e.g., cytotoxic protein, disease-associated antigen, immune accessory molecule, or replacement
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 gene), or which are useful as a molecule itself (e.g., as a ribozyme or antisense sequence).
Retroviral vector constructs of the present invention may be readily constructed from a wide variety of retroviruses, including for example, B, C, and D type retroviruses as well as spumaviruses and lentiviruses (see, e.g., RNA Tumor Viruses, Second Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1985). Such retroviruses may be readily obtained from depositories or collections such as the American Type Culture Collection (“ATCC”; Rockville, Maryland), or isolated from known sources using commonly available techniques. Any of the above retroviruses may be readily utilized in order to assemble or construct retroviral vector constructs, packaging cells, or producer cells of the invention, given the disclosure provided herein and standard recombinant techniques (e.g., Sambrook et al, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2d ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989; Kunkle, 1985 Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 52:488).
Suitable promoters for use in viral vectors generally may include, but are not limited to, the retroviral LTR; the SV40 promoter; and the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter described in Miller, et al., 1989 Biotechniques 7:980-990, or any other promoter (e.g., cellular promoters such as eukaryotic cellular promoters including, but not limited to, the histone, pol III, and β-actin promoters). Other viral promoters that may be employed include, but are not limited to, adenovirus promoters, thymidine kinase (TK) promoters, and BI9 parvovirus promoters. The selection of a suitable promoter will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the teachings contained herein, and may be from among either regulated promoters or promoters as described above.
The retroviral plasmid vector is employed to transduce packaging cell lines to form producer cell lines. Examples of packaging cells which may be transfected include, but are not limited to, the PE501, PA317, ψ-2, ψ-ΑΜ, PA12, T19-14X, VT19-17-H2, \|/CRE, xj/CRIP, GP+E-86, GP+envAml2, and DAN cell lines as described in Miller, Human Gene Therapy, 1:5-14 (1990). The vector may transduce the packaging cells through any means known in the art. Such means include, but are not limited to, electroporation, the use of liposomes, and CaPO4 precipitation. In one
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 alternative, the retroviral plasmid vector may be encapsulated into a liposome, or coupled to a lipid, and then administered to a host.
The producer cell line generates infectious retroviral vector particles which include the nucleic acid sequence(s) encoding the multivalent binding proteins with effector function. Such retroviral vector particles then may be employed to transduce eukaryotic cells, either in vitro or in vivo. The transduced eukaryotic cells will express the nucleic acid sequence(s) encoding the protein or polypeptide. Eukaryotic cells that may be transduced include, but are not limited to, embryonic stem cells, as well as hematopoietic stem cells, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, circulating peripheral blood mononuclear and polymorphonuclear cells including myelomonocytic cells, lymphocytes, myoblasts, tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, Kupffer cells, lymphoid and reticuloendothelial cells of the lymph nodes and spleen, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and bronchial epithelial cells.
Host cells
A further aspect of the invention provides a host cell transformed or transfected with, or otherwise containing, any of the polynucleotides or cloning/expression constructs of the invention. The polynucleotides and cloning/expression constructs are introduced into suitable cells using any method known in the art, including transformation, transfection and transduction. Host cells include the cells of a subject undergoing ex vivo cell therapy including, for example, ex vivo gene therapy. Eukaryotic host cells contemplated as an aspect of the invention when harboring a polynucleotide, vector, or protein according to the invention include, in addition to a subject’s own cells (e.g., a human patient’s own cells), VER.O cells, HeLa cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines (including modified CHO cells capable of modifying the glycosylation pattern of expressed multivalent binding molecules, see Published US Patent Application No. 2003/0115614 Al), incorporated herein by reference, COS cells (such as COS-7), W138, BHK, HepG2,3T3, RIN, MDCK, A549, PC12, K562, HEK293 cells, HepG2 cells, N cells, 3T3 cells, Spodoptera frugiperda cells (e.g., Sf9 cells), Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, and any other eukaryotic cell known in the art to be useful in expressing, and optionally isolating, a protein or peptide according to the invention. Also contemplated are prokaryotic cells, including but not limited to, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis,
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
Salmonella typhimurium, a Streptomycete, or any prokaryotic cell known in the art to be suitable for expressing, and optionally isolating, a protein or peptide according to the invention. In isolating protein or peptide from prokaryotic cells, in particular, it is contemplated that techniques known in the art for extracting protein from inclusion bodies may be used. The selection of an appropriate host is within the scope of those skilled in the art from the teachings herein.
The engineered host cells can be cultured in a conventional nutrient medium modified as appropriate for activating promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying particular genes. The culture conditions for particular host cells selected for expression, such as temperature, pH and the like, will be readily apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan. Various mammalian cell culture systems can also be employed to express recombinant protein. Examples of mammalian expression systems include the COS-7 lines of monkey kidney fibroblasts, described by Gluzman, 1981 Cell 23:175, and other cell lines capable of expressing a compatible vector, for example, the 027, 3T3, CHO, HeLa and BHK cell lines. Mammalian expression vectors will comprise an origin of replication, a suitable promoter and, optionally, enhancer, and also any necessary ribosome binding sites, polyadenylation site, splice donor and acceptor sites, transcriptional termination sequences, and 5’ flanking nontranscribed sequences, for example as described herein regarding the preparation of multivalent binding protein expression constructs. DNA sequences derived from the SV40 splice, and polyadenylation sites may be used to provide the required nontranscribed genetic elements. Introduction of the construct into the host cell can be effected by a variety of methods with which those skilled in the art will be familiar, including but not limited to, calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-Dextran mediated transfection, or electroporation (Davis et al., 1986 Basic Methods in Molecular Biology).
In one embodiment, a host cell is transduced by a recombinant viral construct directing the expression of a protein or polypeptide according to the invention. The transduced host cell produces viral particles containing expressed protein or polypeptide derived from portions of a host cell membrane incorporated by the viral particles during viral budding.

The compounds of the present invention may be used in either the free base or salt forms, with both forms being considered as being within the scope of the present invention.
The pharmaceutical compositions that contain one or more nucleic acid constructs of the invention, or the proteins corresponding to the products encoded by such nucleic acid constructs, may be in any form which allows for the composition to be administered to a patient. For example, the composition may be in the form of a
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 solid, liquid or gas (aerosol). Typical routes of administration include, without limitation, oral, topical, parenteral (e.g,, sublingually or buccally), sublingual, rectal, vaginal, and intranasal. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrastemal, intracavemous, intrathecal, intrameatal, intraurethral injection or infusion techniques. The pharmaceutical composition is formulated so as to allow the active ingredients contained therein to be bioavailable upon administration of the composition to a patient. Compositions that will be administered to a patient take the form of one or more dosage units, where for example, a tablet may be a single dosage unit, and a container of one or more compounds of the invention in aerosol form may hold a plurality of dosage units.
For oral administration, an excipient and/or binder may be present. Examples are sucrose, kaolin, glycerin, starch dextrins, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose and ethyl cellulose. Coloring and/or flavoring agents may be present. A coating shell may be employed.
The composition may be in the form of a liquid, e.g., an elixir, syrup, solution, emulsion or suspension. The liquid may be for oral administration or for delivery by injection, as two examples. When intended for oral administration, preferred compositions contain, in addition to one or more binding domain-immunoglobulin fusion construct or expressed product, one or more of a sweetening agent, preservatives, dye/colorant and flavor enhancer. In a composition intended to be administered by injection, one or more of a surfactant, preservative, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, buffer, stabilizer and isotonic agent may be included,

2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. Physiological saline is a preferred adjuvant. An injectable pharmaceutical composition is preferably sterile.
It may also be desirable to include other components in the preparation, such as delivery vehicles including, but not limited to, aluminum salts, water-in-oil emulsions, biodegradable oil vehicles, oil-in-water emulsions, biodegradable microcapsules, and liposomes. Examples of immunostimulatory substances (adjuvants) for use in such vehicles include N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine-D10 isoglutamine (MDP), lipopolysaccharides (LPS), glucan, IL-12, GM-CSF, gamma interferon and IL-15.
While any suitable carrier known to those of ordinary skill in the art may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, the type of carrier will vary depending on the mode of administration and whether a sustained release is desired. For parenteral administration, such as subcutaneous injection, the carrier preferably comprises water, saline, alcohol, a fat, a wax or a buffer. For oral administration, any of the above carriers or a solid carrier, such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, and magnesium carbonate, may be employed. Biodegradable microspheres (e.g., polylactic galactide) may also be employed as carriers for the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention. Suitable biodegradable microspheres are disclosed, for example, in U.S, Patent Nos. 4,897,268 and 5,075,109. In this regard, it is preferable that the microsphere be larger than approximately 25 microns.
Pharmaceutical compositions may also contain diluents such as buffers, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides, proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates (e.g., glucose, sucrose or dextrins), chelating agents (e.g., EDTA), glutathione and other stabilizers and excipients.
Neutral buffered saline or saline mixed with nonspecific serum albumin are exemplary appropriate diluents. Preferably, product is formulated as a lyophilizate using appropriate excipient solutions (e.g., sucrose) as diluents.

PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention also include stabilized proteins and stable liquid pharmaceutical formulations in accordance with technology known in the art, including the technology disclosed in Published US Patent Application No. 2006/0008415 Al, incorporated herein by reference. Such technologies include derivatization of a protein, wherein the protein comprises a thiol group coupled to N-acetyl-L-cysteine, N-ethyl-maleimide, or cysteine.
As described above, the subject invention includes compositions capable of delivering nucleic acid molecules encoding multivalent binding proteins with effector function. Such compositions include recombinant viral vectors, e.g., retroviruses (see
WO 90/07936, WO 91/02805, WO 93/25234, WO 93/25698, and WO 94/03622), adenovirus (see Berkner, 1988 Biotechniques 6:616-627; Li et al., 1993 Hum. Gene Ther. 4:403-409; Vincent et al., Nat. Genet. 5:130-134; and Kolls et al., 1994 Proc. Natl, Acad. Sci. USA 91:215-219), pox virus (see U.S. Patent No. 4,769,330; U.S. Patent No. 5,017,487; and WO 89/01973)), recombinant expression construct nucleic acid molecules complexed to a polycationic molecule (see WO 93/03709), and nucleic acids associated with liposomes (see Wang et al., 1987 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:7851). In certain embodiments, the DNA may be linked to killed or inactivated adenovirus (see Curiel et al., 1992 Hum. Gene Ther. 3:147-154; Cotton et al., 1992 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 59:6094). Other suitable compositions include
DNA-ligand (see Wu et al., 1989 J. Biol. Chem. 264·. 16985-16987) and lipid-DNA combinations (see Feigner et al., 1989 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:7413-7417).
In addition to direct in vivo procedures, ex vivo procedures may be used in which cells are removed from a host (e.g., a subject, such as a human patient), modified, and placed into the same or another host animal. It will be evident that one can utilize any of the compositions noted above for introduction of constructs of the invention, either the proteins/polypeptides or the nucleic acids encoding them into tissue cells in an ex vivo context. Protocols for viral, physical and chemical methods of uptake are well known in the art.
Generation of antibodies
Polyclonal antibodies directed toward an antigen polypeptide generally are produced in animals (e.g., rabbits, hamsters, goats, sheep, horses, pigs, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, or any other suitable mammal, as well as other non-mammal
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 species) by means of multiple subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections of antigen polypeptide or a fragment thereof and an adjuvant. Adjuvants include, but are not limited to, complete or incomplete Freund's adjuvant, mineral gels such as aluminum hydroxide, and surface active substances such as lysolecithin, pluronic polyols, polyanions, peptides, oil emulsions, and dinitrophenol. BCG (bacilli CalmetteGuerin) and Corynebacterium parvum are also potentially useful adjuvants. It may be useful to conjugate an antigen polypeptide to a carrier protein that is immunogenic in the species to be immunized; typical carriers include keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin, or soybean trypsin inhibitor. Also, aggregating agents such as alum are used to enhance the immune response. After immunization, the animals are bled and the serum is assayed for anti-antigen polypeptide antibody titer using conventional techniques. Polyclonal antibodies may be utilized in the sera from which they were detected, or may be purified from the sera using, e.g., antigen affinity chromatography.
Monoclonal antibodies directed toward antigen polypeptides are produced using any method which provides for the production of antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture. For example, monoclonal antibodies may be made by the hybridoma method as described in Kohler et al., Nature 256:495 [1975]; the human B-cell hybridoma technique (Kosbor et al., Immunol Today 4:72, 1983 ; Cote et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 80: 2026-2030, 1983) and the EBV-hybridoma technique (Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R Liss Inc, New York N.Y., pp 77-96, (1985).
When the hybridoma technique is employed, myeloma cell lines may be used. Cell lines suited for use in hybridoma-producing fusion procedures preferably do not produce endogenous antibody, have high fusion efficiency, and exhibit enzyme deficiencies that render them incapable of growing in certain selective media which support the growth of only the desired fused cells (hybridomas). For example, where the immunized animal is a mouse, one may use P3-X63/Ag8, P3-X63-Ag8.653, NSl/l.Ag 4 1, Sp210-Agl4, FO, NSO/U, MPC-11, MPC11-X45-GTG 1.7 and
S194/5XX0 Bui; for rats, one may use R210.RCY3, Y3-Ag 1.2.3, IR983F and 4B210;
and U-266, GM1500-GRG2, LICR-LON-HMy2 and UC729-6 are all useful in connection with cell fusions.
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
In an alternative embodiment, human antibodies can be produced from phagedisplay libraries (Hoogenboom et al., J. Mol, Biol. 227: 381 [1991]; Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222: 581, see also U.S. Patent No. 5,885,793), ). These processes mimic immune selection through the display of antibody repertoires on the surface of filamentous bacteriophage, and subsequent selection of phage by their binding to an antigen of choice. One such technique is described in PCT Application No. PCT/US98/17364, filed in the name of Adams et al., which describes the isolation of high affinity and functional agonistic antibodies for MPL- and msk-receptors using such an approach. In this approach, a complete repertoire of human antibody genes can be created by cloning naturally rearranged human V genes from peripheral blood lymphocytes as previously described (Mullinax, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.(USA) 87: 8095-8099 [1990]).
Alternatively, an entirely synthetic human heavy chain repertoire can be created from unrearranged V gene segments by assembling each human VH segment with D segments of random nucleotides together with a human J segment (Hoogenboom, et at, J. Mol. Biot 227:381-388 [1992]). Likewise, a light chain repertoire can be constructed by combining each human V segment with a J segment (Griffiths, et al, EMBO J. 13:3245-3260 [1994]). Nucleotides encoding the complete antibody (i.e., both heavy and light chains) are linked as a single-chain Fv fragment and this polynucleotide is ligated to a nucleotide encoding a filamentous phage minor coat protein. When this fusion protein is expressed on the surface of the phage, a polynucleotide encoding a specific antibody can be identified by selection using an immobilized antigen.
Beyond the classic methods of generating polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, any method for generating any known antibody form is contemplated. In addition to polyclonals and monoclonals, antibody forms include chimerized antibodies, humanized antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, and antibody fragments and variants.
Variants and Derivatives of Specific Binding Agents
In one example, insertion variants are provided wherein one or more amino acid residues supplement a specific binding agent amino acid sequence. Insertions may be located at either or both termini of the protein, or may be positioned within
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 internal regions of the specific binding agent amino acid sequence. Variant products of the invention also include mature specific binding agent products, i.e., specific binding agent products wherein leader or signal sequences are removed, and the resulting protein having additional amino terminal residues. The additional amino terminal residues may be derived from another protein, or may include one or more residues that are not identifiable as being derived from a specific protein.
Polypeptides with an additional methionine residue at position -1 (e.g., Met-1multivalent binding peptides with effector function) are contemplated, as are polypeptides of the invention with additional methionine and lysine residues at positions -2 and -1 (Met-2-Lys-1 -multivalent binding proteins with effector function).
Variants of the polypeptides of the invention having additional Met, Met-Lys, or Lys residues (or one or more basic residues in general) are particularly useful for enhanced recombinant protein production in bacterial host cells.
The invention also embraces specific polypeptides of the invention having additional amino acid residues which arise from use of specific expression systems. For example, use of commercially available vectors that express a desired polypeptide as part of a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion product provides the desired polypeptide having an additional glycine residue at position -1 after cleavage of the GST component from the desired polypeptide. Variants which result from expression in other vector systems are also contemplated, including those wherein histidine tags are incorporated into the amino acid sequence, generally at the carboxy and/or amino terminus of the sequence.
In another aspect, the invention provides deletion variants wherein one or more amino acid residues in a polypeptide of the invention are removed. Deletions can be effected at one or both termini of the polypeptide, or from removal of one or more residues within the amino acid sequence. Deletion variants necessarily include all fragments of a polypeptide according to the invention.
Antibody fragments refer to polypeptides having a sequence corresponding to at least part of an immunoglobulin variable region sequence. Fragments may be generated, for example, by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of polypeptides corresponding to full-length antibodies. Other binding fragments include those generated by synthetic techniques or by recombinant DNA techniques, such as the
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/0710S2
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 expression of recombinant plasmids containing nucleic acid sequences encoding partial antibody variable regions. Preferred polypeptide fragments display immunological properties unique to, or specific for, a target as described herein.
Fragments of the invention having the desired immunological properties can be prepared by any of the methods well known and routinely practiced in the art.
In still another aspect, the invention provides substitution variants of multivalent binding polypeptides having effector function. Substitution variants include those polypeptides wherein one or more amino acid residues in an amino acid sequence are removed and replaced with alternative residues. In some embodiments, the substitutions are conservative in nature; however, the invention embraces substitutions that ore also non-conservative. Amino acids can be classified according to physical properties and contribution to secondary and tertiary protein structure. A conservative substitution is recognized in the art as a substitution of one amino acid for another amino acid that has similar properties. Exemplary conservative substitutions are set out in Table A (see WO 97/09433, page 10, published March 13, 1997 (PCT/GB96/02197, filed 9/6/96), immediately below.

The invention also provides derivatives of specific binding agent polypeptides. Derivatives include specific binding agent polypeptides bearing modifications other than insertion, deletion, or substitution of amino acid residues. Preferably, the modifications are covalent in nature, and include for example, chemical bonding with polymers, lipids, other organic, and inorganic moieties. Derivatives of the invention may be prepared to increase circulating half-life of a specific binding agent polypeptide, or may be designed to improve targeting capacity for the polypeptide to desired cells, tissues, or organs.
The invention further embraces multivalent binding proteins with effector function that are covalently modified or derivatized to include one or more watersoluble polymer attachments such as polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene glycol, or polypropylene glycol, as described U.S. Patent Nos: 4,640,835, 4,496,689,
4,301,144, 4,670,417, 4,791,192 and 4,179,337. Still other useful polymers known in the art include monomethoxy-polyethylene glycol, dextran, cellulose, and other carbohydrate-based polymers, poly-(N-vinyl pyrrolidone)-polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol homopolymers, a polypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymer, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol) and polyvinyl alcohol, as well as mixtures of
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 these polymers. Particularly preferred are polyethylene glycol (PEG) -derivatized proteins. Water-soluble polymers may be bonded at specific positions, for example at the amino terminus of the proteins and polypeptides according to the invention, or randomly attached to one or more side chains of the polypeptide. The use of PEG for improving therapeutic capacities is described in US Pat. No. 6, 133, 426 to Gonzales, et al.
Target Sites for Immunoglobulin Mutagenesis
Certain strategies are available to manipulate inherent properties of an antigenspecific immunoglobulin (e.g., an antibody) that are not available to non10 immunoglobulin-based binding molecules. A good example of the strategies favoring, e.g., antibody-based molecules, over these alternatives is the in vivo modulation of the affinity of an antibody for its target through affinity maturation, which takes advantage of the somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes to yield antibodies of increasing affinity as an immune response progresses.
Additionally, recombinant technologies have been developed to alter the structure of immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin regions and domains. Thus, polypeptides derived from antibodies may be produced that exhibit altered affinity for a given antigen, and a number of purification protocols and monitoring screens are known in the art for identifying and purifying or isolating these polypeptides. Using these known techniques, polypeptides comprising antibody-derived binding domains can be obtained that exhibit decreased or increased affinity for an antigen. Strategies for generating the polypeptide variants exhibiting altered affinity include the use of sitespecific or random mutagenesis of the DNA encoding the antibody to change the amino acids present in the protein, followed by a screening step designed to recover antibody variants that exhibit the desired change, e.g., increased or decreased affinity relative to the unmodified parent or referent antibody.
The amino acid residues most commonly targeted in mutagenic strategies to alter affinity are those in the complementarity-determining region (CDR) or hypervariable region of the light and the heavy chain variable regions of an antibody.
These regions contain the residues that physicochemically interact with an antigen, as well as other amino acids that affect the spatial arrangement of these residues. However, amino acids in the framework regions of the variable domains outside the

CDR regions have also been shown to make substantial contributions to the antigenbinding properties of an antibody, and can be targeted to manipulate such properties. See Hudson, P.J. Curr. Opin. Biotech., 9: 395-402 (1999) and references therein.
Smaller and more effectively screened libraries of antibody variants can be 5 produced by restricting random or site-directed mutagenesis to sites in the CDRs that correspond to areas prone to “hyper-mutation” during the somatic affinity maturation process. See Chowdhury, et al., Nature Biotech., 17: 568-572 (1999) and references therein. The types of DNA elements known to define hyper-mutation sites in this manner include direct and inverted repeats, certain consensus sequences, secondary structures, and palindromes. The consensus DNA sequences include the tetrabase sequence Purine-G-Pyrimidine-A/T (i.e., A or G - G - C or T - A or T) and the serine codon AGY (wherein Y can be C or T).
Thus, another aspect of the invention is a set of mutagenic strategies for modifying the affinity of an antibody for its target. These strategies include mutagenesis of the entire variable region of a heavy and/or light chain, mutagenesis of the CDR regions only, mutagenesis of the consensus hypermutation sites within the CDRs, mutagenesis of framework regions, or any combination of these approaches (“mutagenesis” in this context could be random or site-directed). Definitive delineation of the CDR regions and identification of residues comprising the binding site of an antibody can be accomplished though solving the structure of the antibody in question, and the antibody:ligand complex, through techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as X-ray crystallography, Various methods based on analysis and characterization of such antibody crystal structures are known to those of skill in the art and can be employed to approximate the CDR regions. Examples of such commonly used methods include the Rabat, Chothia, AbM and contact definitions.
The Rabat definition is based on sequence variability and is the most commonly used definition to predict CDR regions. Johnson, et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 28: 214-8 (2000). The Chothia definition is based on the location of the structural loop regions. (Chothia et al,, J. Mol. Biol., 196: 901-17 [1986]; Chothia et al., Nature, 342: 877-83 [1989].) The AbM definition is a compromise between the Rabat and Chothia definitions. AbM is an integral suite of programs for antibody structure modeling produced by the Oxford Molecular Group (Martin , et al., Proc.
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
Natl. Acad. Sci (USA) 86:9268-9272 [1989]; Rees, et al., ABMTM, a computer program for modeling variable regions of antibodies, Oxford, UK; Oxford Molecular, Ltd.). The AbM suite models the tertiary structure of an antibody from primary sequence using a combination of knowledge databases and ab initio methods An additional definition, known as the contact definition, has been recently introduced. See MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol., 5:732-45 (1996). This definition is based on an analysis of the available complex crystal structures.
By convention, the CDR domains in the heavy chain are typically referred to as Hl, H2 and H3, and are numbered sequentially in order moving from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus. The CDR regions in the light chain are typically referred to as Ll, L2 and L3, and are numbered sequentially in order moving from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus.
The CDR-H1 is approximately 10 to 12 residues in length and typically starts 4 residues after a Cys according to the Chothia and AbM definitions, or typically 5 residues later according to the Kabat definition. The Η1 is typically followed by a Trp, typically Trp-Val, but also Trp-lle, or Trp-Ala. The length of Hl is approximately 10 to 12 residues according to the AbM definition, while the Chothia definition excludes the last 4 residues.
The CDR-H2 typically starts 15 residues after the end of Hl according to the
Kabat and AbM definitions. The residues preceding H2 are typically Leu-Glu-TrpIle-Gly but there are a number of variations. H2 is typically followed by the amino acid sequence Lys/Arg-Leu/Ile/Val/Phe/Thr/Ala-Thr/Ser/Ile/Ala. According to the Kabat definition, the length of H2 is approximately 16 to 19 residues, where the AbM definition predicts the length to be typically 9 to 12 residues.
The CDR-H3 typically starts 33 residues after the end of H2 and is typically preceded by the amino acid sequence Cys-Ala-Arg. H3 is typically followed by the amino acid Gly. The length of H3 ranges from 3 to 25 residues
The CDR-L1 typically starts at approximately residue 24 and will typically follow a Cys. The residue after the CDR-L1 is always Trp and will typically begin one of the following sequences: Trp-Tyr-Gln, Trp-Leu-Gln, Trp-Phe-Gln, or Trp-TyrLeu. The length of CDR-L1 is approximately 10 to 17 residues.
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
The CDR-L2 starts approximately 16 residues after the end of LI. It will generally follow residues Ile-Tyr, Val-Tyr, Ile-Lys or Ile-Phe. The length of CDR-L2 is approximately 7 residues.
The CDR-L3 typically starts 33 residues after the end of L2 and typically 5 follows a Cys. L3 is typically followed by the amino acid sequence Phe-Gly-XXXGly. The length of L3 is approximately 7 to 11 residues.
Various methods for modifying antibodies have been described in the art, including, e.g., methods of producing humanized antibodies wherein the sequence of the humanized immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region framework is 65% to
95% identical to the sequence of the donor immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region framework. Each humanized immunoglobulin chain will usually comprise, in addition to the CDRs, amino acids from the donor immunoglobulin framework that are, e.g., capable of interacting with the CDRs to effect binding affinity, such as one or more amino acids that are immediately adjacent to a CDR in the donor immunoglobulin or those within about 3 angstroms, as predicted by molecular modeling. The heavy and light chains may each be designed by using any one or all of various position criteria, When combined into an intact antibody, humanized immunoglobulins are substantially non-immunogenic in humans and retain substantially the same affinity as the donor immunoglobulin to the antigen, such as a protein or other compound containing an epitope.
In one example, methods for the production of antibodies, and antibody fragments, are described that have binding specificity similar to a parent antibody, but which have increased human characteristics. Humanized antibodies are obtained by chain shuffling using, for example, phage display technology and a polypeptide comprising the heavy or light chain variable region of a non-human antibody specific for an antigen of interest, which is then combined with a repertoire of human complementary (light or heavy) chain variable regions. Hybrid pairings which are specific for the antigen of interest are identified and human chains from the selected pairings are combined with a repertoire of human complementary variable domains (heavy or light). In another embodiment, a component of a CDR from a non-human antibody is combined with a repertoire of component parts of CDRs from human antibodies. From the resulting library of antibody polypeptide dimers, hybrids are
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 selected and may used in a second humanizing shuffling step; alternatively, this second step is eliminated if the hybrid is already of sufficient human character to be of therapeutic value. Methods of modification to increase human character are known in the art.
Another example is a method for making humanized antibodies by substituting a CDR amino acid sequence for the corresponding human CDR amino acid sequence and/or substituting a FR amino acid sequence for the corresponding human FR amino acid sequences.
Yet another example provides methods for identifying the amino acid residues 10 of an antibody variable domain that may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the antigen binding domain while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species and methods for preparing these modified antibody variable regions as useful for administration to heterologous species.
Modification of an immunoglobulin such as an antibody by any of the 15 methods known in the art is designed to achieve increased or decreased binding affinity for an antigen and/or to reduce immunogenicity of the antibody in the recipient and/or to modulate effector activity levels. In one approach, humanized antibodies can be modified to eliminate glycosylation sites in order to increase affinity of the antibody for its cognate antigen (Co, et at, Mol. Immunol. 30:1361-1367 [1993]). Techniques such as “reshaping,” hyperchimerization,” and “veneering/resurfacing” have produced humanized antibodies with greater therapeutic potential. Vaswami, et al., Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunol 81:105 (1998); Roguska, et al., Prot. Engineer. 9:895-904 (1996)]. See also US Pat. No. 6,072,035, which describes methods for reshaping antibodies. While these techniques diminish antibody immunogenicity by reducing the number of foreign residues, they do not prevent anti-idiotypic and anti-allotypic responses following repeated administration of the antibodies. Alternatives to these methods for reducing immunogenicity are described in Gilliland etal., J. Immunol. 62(6):3663-71 (1999).
In many instances, humanizing antibodies results in a loss of antigen binding capacity. It is therefore preferable to “back mutate” the humanized antibody to include one or more of the amino acid residues found in the original (most often
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 rodent) antibody in an attempt to restore binding affinity of the antibody. See, for example, Saldanha et al., Mol. Immunol. 36:709-19 (1999).
Glycosylation of immunoglobulins has been shown to affect effector functions, structural stability, and the rate of secretion from antibody-producing cells (see Leatherbarrow et al., Mol. Immunol. 22:407 (1985), incorporated herein by reference). The carbohydrate groups responsible for these properties are generally attached to the constant regions of antibodies. For example, glycosylation of IgG at Asn 297 in the Ch2 domain facilitates full capacity of the IgG to activate complementdependent cytolysis (Tao et al., J. Immunol. 143:2595 (1989)). Glycosylation of IgM at Asn 402 in the Ch3 domain, for example, facilitates proper assembly and cytolytic activity of the antibody (Muraoka et al., J. Immunol. 142:695 (1989)). Removal of glycosylation sites at positions 162 and 419 in the Chi and Ch3 domains of an IgA antibody led to intracellular degradation and at least 90% inhibition of secretion (Taylor et al., Wall, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:4197 (1988)). Accordingly, the molecules of the invention include mutationally altered immunoglobulins exhibiting altered glycosylation patterns by mutation of specific residues in, e.g., a constant sub-region to alter effector function. See Co et al., Mol, Immunol. 30:1361-1367 (1993), Jacquemon et al., J. Thromb. Haemost. 4:1047-1055 (2006), Schuster et al,, Cancer Res. 65:7934-7941 (2005), and Warnock et al., Biotechnol Bioeng. 92:831-842 (2005), each incorporated herein by reference.
The invention also includes multivalent binding molecules having at least one binding domain that is at least 80%, preferably 90% or 95% or 99% identical in sequence to a known immunoglobulin variable region sequence and which has at least one residue that differs from such immunoglobulin variable region, wherein the changed residue adds a glycosylation site, changes the location of one or more glycosylation site(s), or preferably removes a glycosylation site relative to the immunoglobulin variable region. In some embodiments, the change removes an Nlinked glycosylation site in a an immunoglobulin variable region framework, or removes an N-linked glycosylation site that occurs in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region framework in the region spanning about amino acid residue 65 to about amino acid residue 85, using the numbering convention of Co et al., J. Immunol. 148: 1149, (1992).

Any method known in the art is contemplated for producing the multivalent binding molecules exhibiting altered glycosylation patterns relative to an immunoglobulin referent sequence. For example, any of a variety of genetic techniques may be employed to alter one or more particular residues. Alternatively, the host cells used for production may be engineered to produce the altered glycosylation pattern. One method known in the art, for example, provides altered glycosylation in the form of bisected, non-fucosylated variants that increase ADCC. The variants result from expression in a host cell containing an oligosaccharidemodifying enzyme. Alternatively, the Potelligent technology of BioWa/Kyowa
Hakko is contemplated to reduce the fucose content of glycosylated molecules according to the invention. In one known method, a CHO host cell for recombinant immunoglobulin production is provided that modifies the glycosylation pattern of the immunoglobulin Fc region, through production of GDP-fucose. This technology is available to modify the glycosylation pattern of a constant sub-region of a multivalent binding molecule according to the invention.
In addition to modifying the binding properties of binding domains, such as the binding domains of immunoglobulins, and in addition to such modifications as humanization, the invention comprehends the modulation of effector function by changing or mutating residues contributing to effector function, such as the effector function of a constant sub-region. These modifications can be effected using any technique known in the art, such as the approach disclosed in Presta et al., Biochem. Soc. Trans. 30:487-490 (2001), incorporated herein by reference. Exemplary approaches would include the use of the protocol disclosed in Presta et al. to modify specific residues known to affect binding in one or more constant sub-regions corresponding to FCyRI, FCyRlI, FCyRIlI, FCaR, and FCcR.
In another approach, the Xencor XmAb technology is available to engineer constant sub-regions corresponding to Fc domains to enhance cell killing effector function. See Lazar et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 103(11):4005-4010 (2006), incorporated herein by reference. Using this approach, for example, one can generate constant sub-regions optimized for FcyR specificity and binding, thereby enhancing cell killing effector function.

Production of multivalent binding proteins with effector function
A variety of expression vector/host systems may be utilized to contain and express the multivalent binding protein (with effector function) of the invention.
These systems include but are not limited to microorganisms such as bacteria transformed with recombinant bacteriophage, plasmid, cosmid, or other expression vectors; yeast transformed with yeast expression or shuttle vectors; insect cell systems infected with virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus); plant cell systems transfected with virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with bacterial expression vectors (e.g., Ti or pBR322 plasmid); or animal cell systems. Mammalian cells that are useful in recombinant multivalent binding protein productions include, but are not limited to, VERO cells, HeLa cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines, COS cells (such as COS-7), W138, BHK, HepG2, 3T3, RIN, MDCK, A549, PC12, K562 and HEK293 cells. Exemplary protocols for the recombinant expression of the multivalent binding protein are described herein below.
An expression vector can comprise a transcriptional unit comprising an assembly of (1) a genetic element or elements having a regulatory role in gene expression, for example, a promoter, enhancer, or factor-specific binding site, (2) a structural or sequence that encodes the binding agent which is transcribed into mRNA and translated into protein, and (3) appropriate transcription initiation and termination sequences. Structural units intended for use in yeast or eukaryotic expression systems preferably include a leader sequence enabling extracellular secretion of translated protein by a host cell. Alternatively, where recombinant multivalent binding protein is expressed without a leader or transport sequence, it may include an amino terminal methionine residue. This residue may or may not be subsequently cleaved from the expressed recombinant protein to provide a final multivalent binding protein.
For example, the multivalent binding proteins may be recombinantly expressed in yeast using a commercially available expression system, e.g., the Pichia Expression System (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA), following the manufacturer's instructions. This system also relies on the pre-pro-alpha sequence to direct secretion, but transcription of the insert is driven by the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter upon induction by methanol. The secreted multivalent binding peptide may be purified
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 from the yeast growth medium by, e.g., the methods used to purify the peptide from bacterial and mammalian cell supernatants.
Alternatively, the cDNA encoding the multivalent binding peptide may be cloned into the baculovirus expression vector pVL1393 (PharMingen, San Diego,
CA). This vector can be used according to the manufacturer's directions (PharMingen) to infect Spodoptera frugiperda cells in SF9 protein-free medium and to produce recombinant protein. The multivalent binding protein can be purified and concentrated from the medium using a heparin-Sepharose column (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). Insect systems for protein expression, such as the SF9 system, are well known to those of skill in the art. In one such system, Autographa califomica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) can be used as a vector to express foreign genes in the Spodoptera frugiperda cells or in Trichoplusia larvae. The multivalent binding peptide coding sequence can be cloned into a nonessential region of the virus, such as the polyhedrin gene, and placed under control of the polyhedrin promoter. Successful insertion of the multivalent binding peptide will render the polyhedrin gene inactive and produce recombinant virus lacking coat protein. The recombinant viruses can be used to infect S. frugiperda cells or Trichoplusia larvae in which peptide is expressed (Smith et al., J Virol 46: 584, 1983; Engelhard et al., Proc Nat Acad Sci (USA) 91: 3224-7, 1994).
In another example, the DNA sequence encoding the multivalent binding peptide can be amplified by PCR and cloned into an appropriate vector, for example, pGEX-3X (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). The pGEX vector is designed to produce a fusion protein comprising glutathione-S-transferase (GST), encoded by the vector, and a multivalent binding protein encoded by a DNA fragment inserted into the cloning site of the vector. The primers for the PCR can be generated to include for example, an appropriate cleavage site. Where the multivalent binding protein fusion moiety is used solely to facilitate expression or is otherwise not desirable as an attachment to the peptide of interest, the recombinant multivalent binding protein fusion may then be cleaved from the GST portion of the fusion protein. The pGEX30 3X/multivalent binding peptide construct is transformed into E. coli XL-1 Blue cells (Stratagene, La Jolla CA), and individual transformants isolated and grown. Plasmid DNA from individual transformants is purified and may be partially sequenced using
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/0710S2
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 an automated sequencer to confirm the presence of the desired multivalent binding protein-encoding nucleic acid insert in the proper orientation.
The fused multivalent binding protein, which may be produced as an insoluble inclusion body in the bacteria, can be purified as follows. Host cells can be harvested by centrifugation; washed in 0.15 M NaCl, 10 mM Tris, pH 8, 1 mM EDTA; and treated with 0.1 mg/ml lysozyme (Sigma Chemical Co.) for 15 minutes at room temperature. The lysate can be cleared by sonication, and cell debris can be pelleted by centrifugation for 10 minutes at 12,000 X g. The multivalent binding protein fusion-containing pellet can be resuspended in 50 mM Tris, pH 8, and 10 mM EDTA, layered over 50% glycerol, and centrifuged for 30 minutes at 6000g. The pellet can be resuspended in standard phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) free of Mg++ and Ca++. The multivalent binding protein fusion can be further purified by fractionating the resuspended pellet in a denaturing SDS polyacrylamide gel (Sambrook et al,).
The gel is soaked in 0.4 M K.C1 to visualize the protein, which is excised and electroeluted in gel-running buffer lacking SDS. If the GST/multivalent binding peptide fusion protein is produced in bacteria as a soluble protein, it can be purified using the GST Purification Module (Pharmacia Biotech).
The multivalent binding protein fusion is preferably subjected to digestion to cleave the GST from the multivalent binding peptide of the invention. The digestion reaction (20-40 pg fusion protein, 20-30 units human thrombin (4000 U/mg (Sigma) in 0.5 ml PBS) can be incubated 16-48 hours at room temperature and loaded on a denaturing SDS-PAGE gel to fractionate the reaction products. The gel can be soaked in 0.4 M KC1 to visualize the protein bands. The identity of the protein band corresponding to the expected molecular weight of the multivalent binding peptide can be confirmed by amino acid sequence analysis using an automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems Model 473A, Foster City, CA). Alternatively, the identity can be confirmed by performing HPLC and/or mass spectrometry of the peptides.
Alternatively, a DNA sequence encoding the multivalent binding peptide can be cloned into a plasmid containing a desired promoter and, optionally, a leader sequence (see, e.g., Better et al., Science, 240:1041-43,1988). The sequence of this construct can be confirmed by automated sequencing. The plasmid can then be transformed into a suitable E. coli strain, such as strain MCI061, using standard
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 procedures employing CaCk incubation and heat shock treatment of the bacteria (Sambrook et al.). The transformed bacteria can be grown in LB medium supplemented with carbenicillin or another suitable form of selection as would be known in the art, and production of the expressed protein can be induced by growth in a suitable medium. If present, the leader sequence can effect secretion of the multivalent binding peptide and be cleaved during secretion. The secreted recombinant protein can be purified from the bacterial culture medium by the methods described herein below.
Mammalian host systems for the expression of the recombinant protein are 10 well known to those of skill in the art and are preferred systems. Host cell strains can be chosen for a particular ability to process the expressed protein or produce certain post-translation modifications that will be useful in providing protein activity. Such modifications of the polypeptide include, but are not limited to, acetylation, carboxylation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, lipidation and acylation. Different host cells such as CHO, HeLa, MDCK, 293, WI38, and the like, have specific cellular machinery and characteristic mechanisms for such post-translational activities and can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the foreign protein.
It is preferable that the transformed cells be used for long-term, high-yield protein production and, as such, stable expression is desirable. Once such cells are transformed with vectors that preferably contain at least one selectable marker along with the desired expression cassette, the cells are grown for 1-2 days in an enriched medium before being switched to selective medium. The selectable marker is designed to confer resistance to selection and its presence allows growth and recovery of cells that successfully express the foreign protein, Resistant clumps of stably transformed cells can be proliferated using tissue culture techniques appropriate to the cell.
A number of selection systems can be used to recover the cells that have been transformed for recombinant protein production. Such selection systems include, but are not limited to, HSV thymidine kinase, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase genes, in tk-, hgprtor aprt- cells, respectively. Also, anti-metabolite resistance can be used as the basis of selection for dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate; gpt, which confers
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052 resistance to mycophenolic acid; neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G418 and confers resistance to chlorsulfuron; and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin. Additional selectable genes that may be useful include trpB, which allows cells to utilize indole in place of tryptophan, or hisD, which allows cells to utilize histinol in place of histidine. Markers that give a visual indication for identification of transformants include anthocyanins, β-glucuronidase and its substrate, GUS, and luciferase and its substrate, luciferin.
Purification of Proteins
Protein purification techniques are well known to those of skill in the art.
These techniques involve, at one level, the crude fractionation of the polypeptide and non-polypeptide fractions. Having separated the multivalent binding polypeptide from at least one other protein, the polypeptide of interest is purified, but further purification using chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques to achieve partial or complete purification (or purification to homogeneity) is frequently desired.
Analytical methods particularly suited to the preparation of a pure multivalent binding peptide are ion-exchange chromatography, exclusion chromatography; polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; and isoelectric focusing. Particularly efficient methods of purifying peptides are fast protein liquid chromatography and HPLC.
Certain aspects of the present invention concern the purification, and in particular embodiments, the substantial purification, of an encoded multivalent binding protein or peptide. The term purified multivalent binding protein or peptide as used herein, is intended to refer to a composition, isolatable from other components, wherein the multivalent binding protein or peptide is purified to any degree relative to its naturally obtainable state. A purified multivalent binding protein or peptide therefore also refers to a multivalent binding protein or peptide, free from the environment in which it may naturally occur.
Generally, purified will refer to a multivalent binding protein composition that has been subjected to fractionation to remove various other components, and which composition substantially retains its expressed biological activity. Where the term substantially purified is used, this designation refers to a multivalent binding protein composition in which the multivalent binding protein or peptide forms the major component of the composition, such as constituting about 50%, about 60%,
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, about 95%, about 99% or more of the protein, by weight, in the composition.
Various methods for quantifying the degree of purification of the multivalent binding protein will be known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. These include, for example, determining the specific binding activity of an active fraction, or assessing the amount of multivalent binding polypeptides within a fraction by SDS/PAGE analysis. A preferred method for assessing the purity of a multivalent binding protein fraction is to calculate the binding activity of the fraction, to compare it to the binding activity of the initial extract, and to thus calculate the degree of purification, herein assessed by a -fold purification number. The actual units used to represent the amount of binding activity will, of course, be dependent upon the particular assay technique chosen to follow the purification and whether or not the expressed multivalent binding protein or peptide exhibits a detectable binding activity.
Various techniques suitable for use in multivalent binding protein purification are well known to those of skill in the art. These include, for example, precipitation with ammonium sulfate, PEG, antibodies and the like, or by heat denaturation, followed by centrifugation; chromatography steps such as ion exchange, gel filtration, reverse phase, hydroxylapatite and affinity chromatography; isoelectric focusing; gel electrophoresis; and combinations of these and other techniques. As is generally known in the art, it is believed that the order of conducting the various purification steps may be changed, or that certain steps may be omitted, and still result in a suitable method for the preparation of a substantially purified multivalent binding protein.
There is no general requirement that the multivalent binding protein always be provided in its most purified state. Indeed, it is contemplated that less substantially multivalent binding proteins will have utility in certain embodiments. Partial purification may be accomplished by using fewer purification steps in combination, or by utilizing different forms of the same general purification scheme. For example, it is appreciated that a cation-exchange column chromatography performed utilizing an HPLC apparatus will generally result in greater purification than the same technique utilizing a low pressure chromatography system. Methods exhibiting a lower degree
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
100
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 of relative purification may have advantages in total recovery of multivalent binding protein product, or in maintaining binding activity of an expressed multivalent binding protein.
It is known that the migration of a polypeptide can vary, sometimes 5 significantly, with different conditions of SDS/PAGE (Capaldi et al., Biochem.
Biophys. Res. Comm., 76:425, 1977). It will therefore be appreciated that under differing electrophoresis conditions, the apparent molecular weights of purified or partially purified multivalent binding protein expression products may vary.
Effector cells
Effector cells for inducing, e.g., ADCC, ADCP (antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis), and the like, against a target cell include human leukocytes, macrophages, monocytes, activated neutrophils, activated natural killer (NK) cells, and eosinophils. Effector cells express FcaR (CD89), FcyRI, FcyRII, FcyRIII, and/or FcsRl and include, for example, monocytes and activated neutrophils. Expression of
FcyRI, e.g., has been found to be up-regulated by interferon gamma (IFN-γ). This enhanced expression increases the cytotoxic activity of monocytes and neutrophils against target cells. Accordingly, effector cells may be activated with (IFN-γ) or other cytokines (e.g., TNF-α or β, colony stimulating factor, IL-2) to increase the presence of FcyRI on the surface of the cells prior to being contacted with a multivalent protein of the invention,
The multivalent proteins of the invention provide an antibody effector function, such as antibody-dependent effector cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), for use against a target cell. Multivalent proteins with effector function are administered alone, as taught herein, or after being coupled to an effector cell, thereby forming an activated effector cell. An activated effector cell is an effector cell, as defined herein, linked to a multivalent protein with effector function, also as defined herein, such that the effector cell is effectively provided with a targeting function prior to administration.
Activated effector cells are administered in vivo as a suspension of cells in a physiologically acceptable solution. The number of cells administered is on the order of 108-l09, but will vary depending on the therapeutic purpose. In general, the
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
101 amount will be sufficient to obtain localization of the effector cell at the target cell, and to provide a desired level of effector cell function in that locale, such as cell killing by ADCC and/or phagocytosis. The term physiologically acceptable solution, as used herein, is intended to include any carrier solution which stabilizes the targeted effector cells for administration in vivo including, for example, saline and aqueous buffer solutions, solvents, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic agents, and the like.
Accordingly, another aspect of the invention provides a method of inducing a specific antibody effector function, such as ADCC, against a cell in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a multivalent protein (or encoding nucleic acid) or activated effector cell in a physiologically acceptable medium. Routes of administration can vary and suitable administration routes will be determined by those of skill in the art based on a consideration of case-specific variables and routine procedures, as is known in the art.
Cell-free effects
Cell-free effects are also provided by the multivalent molecules of the invention, e.g., by providing a CDC functionality. The complement system is a biochemical cascade of the immune system that helps clear foreign matter such as pathogens from an organism, It is derived from many small plasma proteins that work together in inducing cytolysis of a target cell by disrupting the target cell's plasma membrane. The complement system consists of more than 35 soluble and cell-bound proteins, 12 of which are directly involved in the complement pathways. The proteins are active in three biochemical pathways leading to the activation of the complement system: the classical complement pathway, the alternate complement pathway, and the mannose-binding lectin pathway. Antibodies, in particular the IgG 1 class, can also fix complement. A detailed understanding of these pathways has been achieved in the art and will not be repeated here, but it is worth noting that complement-dependent cytotoxicity is not dependent on the interaction of a binding molecule with a cell, e.g., a B cell, of the immune system. Also worth noting is that the complement system is regulated by complement regulating proteins. These proteins are present at higher concentrations in the blood plasma than the complement proteins. The complement regulating proteins are found on the surfaces of self-cells,

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 providing a mechanism to prevent self-cells from being targeted by complement proteins. It is expected that the complement system plays a role in several diseases with an immune component, such as Barraquer-Simons Syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, lupus erythematosus, various forms of arthritis, autoimmune heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Deficiencies in the terminal pathway predispose an individual to both autoimmune disease and infections (particularly meningitis).
Diseases, disorders and conditions
The invention provides a multivalent binding proteins with effector function, and variant and derivative thereof, that bind to one or more binding partners and those binding events are useful in the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of a symptom associated with a disease, disorder or pathological condition, preferably one afflicting humans. In preferred embodiments of these methods, the multivalent (and multispecific) binding protein with effector function associates a cell bearing a target, such as a tumor-specific cell-surface marker, with an effector cell, such as a cell of the immune system exhibiting cytotoxic activity. In other embodiments, the multispecific, multivalent binding protein with effector function specifically binds two different disease-, disorder- or condition-specific cell-surface markers to ensure that the correct target is associated with an effector cell, such as a cytotoxic cell of the immune system. Additionally, the multivalent binding protein with effector function can be used to induce or increase antigen activity, or to inhibit antigen activity. The multivalent binding proteins with effector function are also suitable for combination therapies and palliative regimes.

WO 2007/146968

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 conditions in general are amenable to treatment, prevention or amelioration of symptoms (e.g., heat, pain, swelling, redness) associated with the process of inflammation, and the compositions and methods of the invention are beneficial in treating, preventing or ameliorating aberrant or abnormal inflammatory processes, including RA.
Crohn's disease and a related disease, ulcerative colitis, are the two main disease categories that belong to a group of illnesses called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's disease is a chronic disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although it can involve any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon. In ulcerative colitis, the GI involvement is limited to the colon. Crohn’s disease may be characterized by antibodies against neutrophil antigens, i.e., the perinuclear anti-neutrophil antibody (pANCA), and Saccharomyces cervisiae, i.e. the anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA). Many patients with ulcerative colitis have the pANCA antibody in their blood, but not the ASCA antibody, while many Crohn's patients exhibit ASCA antibodies, and not pANCA antibodies. One method of evaluating Crohn’s disease is using the Crohn’s disease Activity Index (CDAI), based on 18 predictor variables scores collected by physicians. CDAI values of 150 and below are associated with quiescent disease; values above that indicate active disease, and values above 450 are seen with extremely severe disease [Best et al., Development of a Crohn's disease activity index. Gastroenterology 70:439-444 (1976)]. However, since the original study, some researchers use a 'subjective value’ of 200 to 250 as an healthy score.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease caused by recurrent injuries to blood vessels in multiple organs, including the kidney, skin, and joints. In patients with SLE, a faulty interaction between T cells and B-cells results in the production of autoantibodies that attack the cell nucleus. There is general agreement that autoantibodies are responsible for SLE, so new therapies that deplete the B-cell lineage, allowing the immune system to reset as new B-cells are generated from precursors, would offer hope for long lasting benefit in SLE patients.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is also an autoimmune disease. It is characterized by inflammation of the central nervous system and destruction of myelin, which insulates
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
107 nerve cell fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and body. Although the cause of MS is unknown, it is widely believed that autoimmune T cells are primary contributors to the pathogenesis of the disease. However, high levels of antibodies are present in the cerebral spinal fluid of patients with MS, and some theories predict that the B-cell response leading to antibody production is important for mediating the disease.
Autoimmune thyroid disease results from the production of autoantibodies that either stimulate the thyroid to cause hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) or destroy the thyroid to cause hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). Stimulation of the thyroid is caused by autoantibodies that bind and activate the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. Destruction of the thyroid is caused by autoantibodies that react with other thyroid antigens.
Additional diseases, disorders, and conditions amenable to the benefits provided by the compositions and methods of the invention include Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of the body’s moisture-producing glands. Further, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is caused by autoantibodies that bind to blood platelets and cause their destruction, and this condition is suitable for application of the materials and methods of the invention. Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by autoantibodies that bind to acetylcholine receptors expressed at neuromuscular junctions leading to weakness of the voluntary muscle groups, is a disease having symptoms that are treatable using the composition and methods of the invention, and it is expected that the invention will be beneficial in treating and/or preventing MG. Still further, Rous Sarcoma Virus infections are expected to be amenable to treatment, or amelioration of at least one symptom, with the compositions and methods of the invention.
Another aspect of the present invention is using the materials and methods of the invention to prevent and/or treat any hyperproliferative condition of the skin including psoriasis and contact dermatitis or other hyperproliferative disease.
Psoriasis, is characterized by autoimmune inflammation in the skin and is also associated with arthritis in 30% of cases, as well as scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It has been demonstrated that patients with psoriasis and contact dermatitis have elevated antigen activity

108 within these lesions (Ogoshi et al., J. Inv. Dermatol., 110:818-23 [1998]). The multispecific, multivalent binding proteins can deliver a cytotoxic cell of the immune system, for example, directly to cells within the lesions expressing high levels of antigen. The multivalent, e.g., multispecific, binding proteins can be administered subcutaneously in the vicinity of the lesions, or by using any of the various routes of administration described herein and others which are well known to those of skill in the art.
Also contemplated is the treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), including dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM). Inflammatory myopathies have been categorized using a number of classification schemes. Miller’s classification schema (Miller, Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 20:811-826, 1994) identifies 2 idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (ΠΜ), polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM).
Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are chronic, debilitating inflammatory diseases that involve muscle and, in the case of DM, skin. These disorders are rare, with a reported annual incidence of approximately 5 to 10 cases per million adults and 0.6 to 3.2 cases per million children per year in the United States (Targoff, Curr Probl Dermatol. 1991, 3:131 -180). Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with up to half of affected adults noted to have suffered significant impairment (Gottdiener et al., Am J Cardiol. 1978,41:1141-49). Miller (Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 1994,20:811-826 and Arthritis and Allied Conditions, Ch. 75, Eds. Koopman and Moreland, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005) sets out five groups of criteria used to diagnose IIM, i.e., Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy Criteria (IIMC) assessment, including muscle weakness, muscle biopsy evidence of degeneration, elevation of serum levels of muscleassociated enzymes, electromagnetic triad of myopathy, evidence of rashes in dermatomyositis, and also includes evidence of autoantibodies as a secondary criteria.
IIM associated factors, including muscle-associated enzymes and autoantibodies include, but are not limited to, creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase, C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and antinuclear autoantibody (ANA), myositisspecific antibodies (MSA), and antibody to extractable nuclear antigens.

Preferred autoimmune diseases amenable to the methods of the invention include Crohn's disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS; also known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis and Landry's ascending paralysis), lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, optic neuritis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism (e.g., Graves' disease), hypothyroidism (e.g., Hashimoto's disease), Ord’s thyroiditis (a thyroiditis similar to Hashimoto's disease), diabetes mellitus (type 1), aplastic anemia, Reiter's syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS), temporal arteritis (also known as giant cell arteritis), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, coeliac disease, pemphigus, canine polyarthritis, warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia. In addition, the invention contemplates methods for the treatment, or amelioration of a symptom associated with, the following diseases, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, neuromyotonia, scleroderma, vitiligo, vulvodynia, Chagas' disease leading to Chagasic cardiopathy (cardiomegaly), sarcoidosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and dysautonomia.
The complement system is believed to play a role in many diseases with an immune component, such as Alzheimer's disease, asthma, lupus erythematosus, various forms of arthritis, autoimmune heart disease and multiple sclerosis, all of which are contemplated as diseases, disorders or conditions amenable to treatment or symptom amelioration using the methods according to the invention.
Certain constant sub-regions are preferred, depending on the particular effector function or functions to be exhibited by a multivalent single-chain binding molecule. For example, IgG (IgGl, 2, or 3) and IgM are preferred for complement activation, IgG of any subtype is preferred for opsonization and toxin neutralization; IgA is preferred for pathogen binding; and IgE for binding of such parasites as worms.
By way of example, FcRs recognizing the constant region of IgG antibodies have been found on human leukocytes as three distinct types of Fey receptors, which are distinguishable by structural and functional properties, as well as by antigenic

110 structures detected by CD monoclonal antibodies. They are known as FcyRI, FcyRII, and FcyRIII, and are differentially expressed on (overlapping) subsets of leukocytes.
FcgRI (CD64), a high-affinity receptor expressed on monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, myeloid precursors and dendritic cells, comprised isoforms la and lb. FcgRI has a high affinity for monomeric human IgGl and IgG3. Its affinity for IgG4 is about 10 times lower, while it does not bind IgG2. FcgRI does not show genetic polymorphism.
FcyRII (CD32), comprised of isoforms 11a, lib 1, llb2, llb3 and 11c, is the most widely distributed human FcyR type, being expressed on most types of blood leukocytes, as well as on Langerhans cells, dendritic cells and platelets. FcyRII is a low-affinity receptor that only binds aggregated IgG. It is the only FcyR class able to bind IgG2. FcyRIIa shows genetics polymorphism, resulting in two distinct allotypes, FcyRlla-H131 and FcyRlla-R131, respectively. This functional polymorphism is attributable to a single amino acid difference: a histidine (H) or an arginine (R) residue at position 131, which is critical for IgG binding. FcyRIIa readily binds human
IgG and IgG3 and appears not to bind IgG4. The FcyRlla-H131 has a much higher affinity for complexed IgG2 than the FcyRlia-R131 allotype.
FcyRIII (CD16) has two isoforms or allelotypes, both of which are able to bind IgGl and IgG3. The FcyRIIa, with an intermediate affinity for IgG, is expressed on macrophages, monocytes, natural killer (NK) cells and subsets of T cells.
FcyRIIIb is a low-affinity receptor for IgG, selectively expressed on neutrophils. It is a highly mobile receptor with efficient collaboration with other membrane receptors. Studies with myeloma IgG dimers have shown that only IgG 1 and IgG3 bind to FcyRIIIb (with low affinity), while no binding of IgG2 and IgG4 has been found. The
FcyRIIIb bears a co-dominant, bi-allelic polymorphism, the allotypes being designated NA1 (Neutrophil Antigen) and NA2.
Yet another aspect of the invention is use of the materials and methods of the invention to combat, by treating, preventing or mitigating the effects of, infection, resulting from any of a wide variety of infectious agents. The multivalent, multispecific binding molecules of the invention are designed to efficiently and effectively recruit the host organism’s immune system to resist infection arising from

2016231617 23 Sep 2016
111 a foreign organism, a foreign cell, a foreign virus or a foreign inanimate object. For example, a multispecific binding molecule may have one binding domain that specifically binds to a target on an infectious agent and another binding domain that specifically binds to a target on an Antigen Presenting Cell, such as CD 40, CD80,
CD86, DC-SIGN, DEC-205, CD83, and the like). Alternatively, each binding domain of a multivalent binding molecule may specifically bind to an infectious agent, thereby more effectively neutralizing the agent. In addition, the invention contemplates multispecific, multivalent binding molecules that specifically bind to a target on an infectious agent and to a non-cell-associated binding partner, which may be effective in conjunction with an effector function of the multispecific binding molecule in treating or preventing infection arising from an infectious agent.
Infectious cells contemplated by the invention include any known infectious cell, including but not limited to any of a variety of bacteria (e.g., pathogenic E. coli,
S. typhimurium, P. aeruginosa, B. anthracis, C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens,
H. pylori, V. cholerae, and the like), mycobacteria, mycoplasma, fungi (including yeast and molds), and parasites (including any known parasitic member of the Protozoa, Trematoda, Cestoda andNematoda). Infectious viruses include, but are not limited to, eukaryotic viruses (e.g., adenovirus, bunyavirus, herpesvirus, papovavirus, paramyxovirus, picomavirus, poxvirus, reovirus, retroviruses, and the like) as well as bacteriophage. Foreign objects include objects entering an organism, preferably a human, regardless of mode of entry and regardless of whether harm is intended. In view of the increasing prevalence of multi-drug-resistant infectious agents (e.g., bacteria), particularly as the causative agents of nosocomial infection, the materials and methods of the invention, providing an approach to treatment that avoids the difficulties imposed by increasing antibiotic resistance.
Diseases, conditions or disorders associated with infectious agents and amenable to treatment (prophylactic or therapeutic) with the materials and methods disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, anthrax, aspergillosis, bacterial meningitis, bacterial pneumoniae (e.g., chlamydia pneumoniae), blastomycosis, botulism, brucellosis, candidiasis, cholera, ciccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, diahhreagenic, enterohemorrhagic or enterotoxigenic E. coli, diphtheria, glanders, histoplasmosis, legionellosis, leprosy, listeriosis, nocardiosis, pertussis, salmonellosis,

Additional aspects and details of the invention will be apparent from the following examples, which are intended to be illustrative rather than limiting.
Example 1 describes recombinant cloning of immunoglobulin heavy and light chain variable regions. Example 2 describes the construction of Small Modular ImmunoPharmaceuticals. Example 3 describes the construction of a prototype cassette for a multivalent binding protein with effector function. Example 4 describes binding and expression studies with this initial prototype molecule.
Example 5 describes construction of alternative constructs derived from this initial prototype molecule where the sequence of the linker region between the EFD and BD2 was changed in both length and sequence. In addition, it describes alternative forms where the orientation of V regions in binding domain 2 were also altered. Example 6 describes subsequent binding and functional studies on these alternative constructs with variant linker forms, identifying a cleavage in the linker region in several of these derivative forms, and the new sequence variants developed to address this problem. Example 7 describes the construction of an alternative preferred embodiment of the multispecific, multivalent fusion proteins, where both BD1 and BD2 bind to antigens on the same cell type (CD20 and CD37), or another multispecific fusion protein where the antigen binding specificity for BD2 has been changed to human CD3 instead of CD28. Example 8 describes the binding and functional studies performed with the CD20-hIgG-CD37 multispecific constructs. Example 9 describes the binding and functional studies with the CD20-hIgG-CD3 multivalent fusion protein constructs. Example 10 discloses multivalent binding molecules having linkers based on specific regions of the extracellular domains of members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Example 11 discloses assays for identifying binding domains expected to be effective in multivalent binding molecules in achieving at least one beneficial effect identified as being associated with such molecules (e.g., disease treatment).

Example 1
Cloning of Immunoglobulin Heavy and Light Chain Variable Regions
Any methods known in the art can be used to elicit antibodies to a given antigenic target. Further, any methods known in the art can be used to clone the immunoglobulin light and/or heavy chain variable regions, as well as the constant sub-region of an antibody or antibodies. The following method provides an exemplary cloning method.
A. Isolation of Total RNA
To clone the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain variable regions, or the constant sub-region, total RNA is isolated from hybridoma cells secreting the appropriate antibody. Cells (2xl07) from the hybridoma cell line are washed with lx PBS and pelleted via centrifugation in a 12 x 75 mm round bottom polypropylene tube (Falcon no. 2059). TRlzol™ Total RNA Isolation Reagent (Gibco BRL, Life Technologies, Cat no. 15596-018) is added (8 ml) to each tube and the cells are lysed via repeated pipetting. The lysate is incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature prior to the addition of 1.6 ml (0.2 x volume) of chloroform and vigorous shaking for 15 seconds. After standing 3 minutes at room temperature, the lysates are centrifuged at 9,000 rpm for 15 minutes in a 4°C pre-chilled Beckman JA-17 rotor in order to separate the aqueous and organic phases. The top aqueous phase (about 4.8 ml) is transferred into a new tube and mixed gently with 4 ml of isopropanol. After a 10 minute incubation at room temperature, the RNA is precipitated by centrifugation at 9,000 rpm in a 4'C JA-17 rotor for 11 minutes. The RNA pellet is washed with 8 ml of ice-cold 75% ethanol and re-pelleting by centrifugation at 7,000 x rpm for 7 minutes in a JA-17 rotor at 4’C. The ethanol wash is decanted and the RNA pellets are air-dried for 10 minutes. The RNA pellets are resuspended in 150 μΐ of diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC)-treated ddH2O containing 1 μΐ of RNase Inhibitor (Catalog No. 799017; Boehringer Mannheim/Roche) per 1 ml of DEPC-treated ddH2O. The pellets are resuspended by gentle pipetting and are incubated for 20 minutes at 55 °C. RNA samples are quantitated by measuring the OD260nm of diluted aliquots (1.0 OD260 nm unit = 40 μg/ml RNA).

B. Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
5’ RACE is carried out to amplify the ends of the heavy and light chain variable regions, or the constant sub-region. The 5’ RACE System for Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends Kit version 2.0 (Life Technologies, cat. no. 18374-058) is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Degenerate 5’ RACE oligonucleotide primers are designed to match, e.g., the constant regions of two common classes of mouse immunoglobulin heavy chains (IgGl and IgG2b) using the oligonucleotide design program Oligo version 5.1 (Molecular Biology Insights, Cascade CO). Primers are also designed to match the constant region of the mouse
IgG kappa light chain. This is the only class of immunoglobulin light chain, so no degeneracy is needed in the primer design. The sequences of the primers are as follows:

To amplify the mouse immunoglobulin heavy chain component, the reverse transcriptase reaction is carried in a 0.2 ml thin-walled PCR tube containing 2.5 pmoles of heavy chain GSP1 primer (SEQ ID NO: 7), 4 μg of total RNA isolated from a suitable hybridoma clone (e.g., either clone 4A5 or clone 4B5), and 12 μΐ of DEPC treated ddH2O. Likewise, for the mouse light chain component, the reverse transcriptase reaction is carried out in a 0.2 ml thin-walled PCR tube containing 2.5 pmoles of a light chain GSP1 primer (SEQ ID NO: 9), 4 μg of total RNA from a suitable hybridoma clone (e.g., either clone 4A5 or clone 4B5), and 12 μΐ of DEPC treated ddH2O.
The reactions are carried out in a PTC-100 programmable thermal cycler (MJ research Inc,, Waltham, MA). The mixture is incubated at 70°C for 10 minutes to denature the RNA and then chilled on wet ice for 1 minute. The tubes are centrifuged briefly in order to collect moisture from the lids of the tubes. Subsequently, the following components are added to the reaction: 2.5 μΐ of lOx PCR buffer (200 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.4, 500 mM KC1), 2.5 μΐ of 25 mM MgCl2, 1 μΐ of 10 mM dNTP mix, and 2.5 μΐ of 0.1 M DTT. After mixing each tube by gentle pipetting, the tubes are placed in a PTC-100 thermocycler at 42’C for 1 minute to pre-warm the mix.
Subsequently, 1 μΐ (200 units) of Superscript™ II Reverse Transcriptase (GibcoBRL; cat no. 18089-011) is added to each tube, gently mixed by pipetting, and incubated for 45 minutes at 42’C. The reactions are cycled to 70°C for 15 minutes to terminate the reaction, and then cycled to 37°C. RNase mix (1 μΐ) is then added to each reaction tube, gently mixed, and incubated at 37’C for 30 minutes.
The first-strand cDNA generated by the reverse transcriptase reaction is purified with the GlassMAX DNA Isolation Spin Cartridge (Gibco-BRL) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To each first-strand reaction, 120 μΐ of 6 M Nal binding solution is added. The cDNA/Nal solution is then transferred into a GlassMAX spin cartridge and centrifuged for 20 seconds at 13,000 x g. The cartridge inserts are carefully removed and the flow-through is discarded from the tubes. The spin cartridges are then placed back into the empty tubes and 0.4 ml of cold (4’C) lx

2016231617 23 Sep 2016
116 wash buffer is added to each spin cartridge. The tubes are centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 20 seconds and the flow-through is discarded. This wash step is repeated three additional times. The GlassMAX cartridges are then washed 4 times with 0.4 ml of cold (4°C) 70% ethanol. After the flow-through from the final 70% ethanol wash is discarded, the cartridges are placed back in the tubes and centrifuged at 13,000 x g for an additional 1 minute in order to completely dry the cartridges. The spin cartridge inserts are then transferred to a fresh sample recovery tube where 50 μΐ of 65°C (preheated) DEPC-treated ddH2O is quickly added to each spin cartridge. The cartridges are centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 30 seconds to elute the cDNA.
C, Terminal Deoxynucleotidvl Transferase (TdTl Tailing
For each first-strand cDNA sample, the following components are added to a 0.2 ml thin-walled PCR tube: 6.5 μΐ of DEPC-treated ddlUO, 5.0 μΐ of 5x tailing buffer, 2.5 μΐ of 2 mM dCTP, and 10 μΐ of the appropriate GlassMAX-purified cDNA sample. Each 24 μΐ reaction is incubated 2-3 minutes in a thermal cycler at 94°C to denature the DNA, and chilled on wet ice for 1 minute. The contents of the tube are collected by brief centrifugation. Subsequently, 1 μΐ of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is added to each tube. The tubes are mixed via gentle pipetting and incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C in a PTC-100 thermal cycler. Following this 10 minute incubation, the TdT is heat inactivated by cycling to 65 °C for 10 minutes. The reactions are cooled on ice and the TdT-tailed first-strand cDNA is stored at -20°C.
D. PCR of dC-tailed First-Strand cDNA
Duplicate PCR amplifications (two independent PCR reactions for each dCtailed first-strand cDNA sample) are performed in a 50 μΐ volume containing 200 μΜ dNTPs, 0.4 μΜ of 5’ RACE Abridged Anchor Primer (SEQ ID NO: 11), and 0.4 μΜ of either Nested Heavy Chain GSP2 (SEQ ID NO: 8) or Nested Light Chain GSP2 (SEQ ID NO: 10), 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KC1, 5 μΐ of dC-tailed cDNA, and 5 units of Expand™ Hi-Fi DNA polymerase (Roche/
Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, Germany). The PCR reactions are amplified using a “Touch-do wn/Touch-up” annealing temperature protocol in a PTC-100 programmable thermal cycler (MJ Research Inc.) with the following conditions: initial denaturation of 95°C for 40 seconds, 5 cycles at 94’C for 20 seconds, 61 °C 2°C/cycle for 20 seconds, 72°C for 40 seconds + 1 second/cycle, followed by 5 cycles

117 at 94’C for 25 seconds, 53°C + l’C/cycle for 20 seconds, 72’C for 46 seconds + 1 second/cycle, followed by 20 cycles at 94’C for 25 seconds, 55’C for 20 seconds,
72°C for 51 seconds + 1 second/cycle, and a final incubation of 72’C for 5 minutes.
E. TOPO TA-Cloning
The resulting PCR products are gel-purified from a 1,0% agarose gel using the
QIAQuick Gel purification system (QIAGEN Inc,, Chatsworth, CA), TA-cloned into pCR2.1 using the TOPO TA Cloning® kit (invitrogen, San Diego, CA, cat. no. K4550-40), and transformed into E. coli TOP10F’ cells (Invitrogen), according to manufacturers’ instructions. Clones with inserts are identified by blue/white screening according to the manufacturer’s instructions, where white clones are considered positive clones. Cultures of 3.5 ml liquid Luria Broth (LB) containing 50 pg/ml ampicillin are inoculated with white colonies and grown at 37°C overnight (about 16 hours) with shaking at 225 rpm.
The QIAGEN Plasmid Miniprep Kit (QIAGEN Inc., cat, no. 12125) is used to purify plasmid DNA from the cultures according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The plasmid DNA is suspended in 34 μΐ of lx TE buffer (pH 8.0) and then positive clones sequenced as previously described by fluorescent dideoxy nucleotide sequencing and automated detection using AB1 Big Dye Terminator 3.1 reagents at 1:4-1:8 dilutions and analyzed using an ABI 3100 DNA sequencer. Sequencing primers used include T7 (5’GTAATACGACTCACTATAGG3’; SEQ ID NO: 12) and Ml3 Reverse (5’CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC3’; SEQ ID NO: 13) primers. Sequencing results will confirm that the clones correspond to mouse IgG sequences.
F, De novo gene synthesis using overlapping oligonucleotide extension PCR
This method involves the use of overlapping oligonucleotide primers and PCR using either a high fidelity DNA polymerase or a mix of polymerases to synthesize an immunoglobulin V-region or other gene. Starting at the middle of the V-region sequence, 40-50 base primers are designed such that the growing chain is extended by 20-30 bases, in either direction, and contiguous primers overlap by a minimum of 20 bases. Each PCR step requires two primers, one priming on the anti-sense strand (forward or sense primer) and one priming on the sense strand (reverse or anti-sense primer) to create a growing double-stranded PCR product. During primer design,
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
118 changes can be made in the nucleotide sequence of the final product to create restriction enzyme sites, destroy existing restriction enzyme sites, add flexible linkers, change, delete or insert bases that alter the amino acid sequence, optimize the overall DNA sequence to enhance primer synthesis and conform to codon usage rules for the organism contemplated for use in expressing the synthetic gene.
Primer pairs are combined and diluted such that the first pair are at 5 μΜ an each subsequent pair has a 2-fold greater concentration up to 80 μΜ. One pL from each of these primer mixes is amplified in a 50 pL PCR reaction using Platinum PCR SuperMix-High Fidelity (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, cat. no. 12532-016). After a 210 minute initial denaturation at 94°C, 30 cycles of PCR are performed using a cycling profile of94’C for 20 seconds, 60’C for 10 seconds; and 68’C for 15 seconds. PCR products are purified using Qiaquick PCR Purification columns (Qiagen Inc., cat. no. 28704) to remove excess primers and enzyme. This PCR product is then reamplified with the next set of similarly diluted primer pairs using PCR conditions exactly as described above, but increasing the extension time of each cycle to 68°C for 30 seconds. The resultant PCR product is again purified from primers and enzymes as described above and TOPO-TA cloned and sequenced exactly as described in section E above.
Example 2
Construction of Small Modular ImmunoPharmaceuticals (SMIPs)
A multispecific, multivalent binding protein with effector function was constructed that contained a binding domain 1 in the form of a single-chain recombinant (murine/human) scFv designated 2H7 (VL-linker-VH). The scFv 2H7 is a small modular immunopharmacaceutical (SMIP) that specifically recognizes CD20. The binding domain was based on a publicly available human CD20 antibody sequence GenBank Accession Numbers, Ml7953 for VH, and Ml7954 for VL. CD20-specific SMIPs are described in co-owned US Patent Publications 2003/133939, 2003/0118592 and 2005/0136049, incorporated herein in their entireties by reference. The peptide linker separating VL and VH was a 15-amino acid linker encoding the sequence: Asp-Gly3Ser-(Gly4Ser)2. Binding domain 1 was located at
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
119 the N-terminus of the multispecific binding protein, with the C-terminus of that domain linked directly to the N-terminus of a constant sub-region containing a hinge, Ch2 and Ch3 domains (in amino-to-carboxy orientation). The constant sub-region was derived from an IgGl antibody, which was isolated by PCR amplification of human
IgGl from human PBMCs. The hinge region was modified by substituting three Ser residues in place of the three Cys residues present in the wild type version of the human IgGl hinge domain, encoded by the 15 amino acid sequence: EPKSCDKTHTCPPCP (SEQ ID NO: 14; the three Cys residues replaced by Ser residues are indicated in bold). In alternative embodiments, the hinge region was modified at one or more of the cysteines, so that SSS and CSC type hinges were generated. In addition, the final proline was sometimes substituted with a serine as well as the cysteine substitutions.
The C-terminal end of the Cm domain was covalently attached to a series of alternative linker domains juxtaposed between the constant sub-region C-terminus and the amino terminus of binding domain 2. Preferred multivalent binding proteins with effector function will have one of these linkers to space the constant sub-region from binding domain 2, although the linker is not an essential component of the compositions according to the invention, depending on the folding properties of BD2. For some specific multivalent molecules, the linker might be important for separation of domains, while for others it may be less important. The linker was attached to the N-terminal end of scFv 2E12 ((VH-hnker-Vi.), which specifically recognizes CD28. The linker separating the VH and VL domains of the scFv 2E12 part of the multivalent binding molecule was a 20-amino acid linker (Gly4Ser)4, rather than the standard (Gy4Ser)3 linker usually inserted between V domains of an scFv. The longer linker was observed to improve the binding properties of the 2el2 scFv in the VH-VL orientation.
The multispecific, multivalent binding molecule as constructed contained a binding domain 1, which comprises the 2E12 leader peptide sequence from amino acids 1-23 of SEQ ID NO: 171; the 2H7 murine anti-human CD20 light chain variable region, which is reflected at position 24 in SEQ ID NO: 171; an Asp-Gly3-Ser(Gly4Ser)2 linker, beginning at residue 130 in SEQ ID NO: 171, the 2H7 murine antihuman CD20 heavy chain variable region with a leucine to serine (VHL1 IS) amino

120 acid substitution at residue 11 in the variable domain for VH, and which has a single serine residue at the end of the heavy chain region (i.e., VTVS where a canonical sequence would be VTVSS) (Genbank Acc. No. Ml7953), and interposed between the two binding domains BD1 (2H7) and BD2 (2E12) is a human IgGl constant sub5 region, including a modified hinge region comprising a “CSC” or an “SSS” sequence, and wild-type Ch2 and Ch3 domains. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the multivalent binding protein with effector function are set out in SEQ ID NOS: 228 and 229 for the CSC forms, respectively and SEQ ID NOS: 170 and 171, for the SSS forms.
Stably expressing cell lines were created by transfection via electroporation of either uncut or linearized, recombinant expression plasmid into Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO DG44 cells) followed by selection in methotrexate containing medium. Bulk cultures and master wells producing the highest level of multivalent binding protein were amplified in increasing levels of methotrexate, and adapted cultures were subsequently cloned by limiting dilution. Transfected CHO cells producing the multivalent binding protein were cultured in bioreactors or wave bags using serum-free medium obtained from JRH Biosciences (Excell 302, cat. no. 143241000M, supplemented with 4 mM glutamine (Invitrogen, 25030-081), sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen 11360-070, diluted to IX), non-essential amino acids (Invitrogen, 11140-050, final dilution to IX), penicillin-streptromycin 100 IU/ml (Invitrogen, 15140-122), and recombulin insulin at 1 pg/ml (Invitrogen, 97-503311). Other serum free CHO basal medias may also be used for production, such as CDCHO, and the like.
Fusion protein was purified from spent CHO culture supernatants by Protein A affinity chromatography. The multivalent binding protein was purified using a series of chromatography and filtration steps, including a virus reduction filter. Cell culture supernatants were filtered, then subjected to protein A Sepharose affinity chromatography over a GE Healthcare XK 16/40 column. After binding of protein to the column, the column was washed in dPBS, then 1.0 M NaCl, 20 mM sodium phosphate pH 6.0, and then 25 mM NaCl, 25 mN NaOAc, pH 5.0 to remove nonspecific binding proteins. Bound protein was eluted from the column in 100 mM Glycine (Sigma), pH 3.5, and brought to pH 5.0 with 0.5 M 2-(N-Morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES), pH 6.0. Protein samples were concentrated to 25 mg/ml

121 in preparation for GPC purification. Size exclusion chromatography was performed on a GE Healthcare AKTA Explorer 100 Air apparatus, using a GE healthcare XK column and Superdex 200 preparative grade (GE healthcare).
The material was then concentrated and formulated with 20 mM sodium 5 phosphate and 240 mM sucrose, with a resulting pH of 6.0. The composition was filtered before filling into sterile vials at various concentrations, depending on the amount of material recovered.

Construction of Scorpion Expression Cassette
A nucleic acid containing the synthetic 2H7 scFv (anti-CD20; SEQ ID NO: 1) linked to a constant sub-region as described in Example 2 has been designated TRU015. TRU-015 nucleic acid, as well as synthetic scFv 2E12 (anti-CD28 VL-VH; SEQ ID NO: 3) and synthetic scFv 2E12 (anti-CD28 VH-VL; SEQ ID NO: 5) nucleic acids encoding small modular immunopharmaceuticals, were used as templates for PCR amplification of the various components of the scorpion cassettes The template, or scaffold, for binding domain 1 and the constant sub-region was provided by TRU-015 (the nucleic acid encoding scFv 2H7 (anti-CD20) linked to the constant sub-region) and this template was constructed in the expression vector pD18. The above-noted nucleic acids containing scFv 2E12 in either of two orientations (Vl-Vh and Vh-Vl) provided the coding region for binding domain 2.
TRU 015 SSS hinge CHiCm. far BD2/Linker Insertion
A version of the synthetic 2H7 scFv IgGl containing the SSS hinge was used to create a scorpion cassette by serving as the template for addition of an EcoRI site to replace the existing stop codon and Xbal site. This molecule was amplified by PCR using primer 9 (SEQ ID NO: 23; see Table 1) and primer 87 (SEQ ID NO: 40; see Table 1) as well as a Platinum PCR High Fidelity mix (Invitrogen), The resultant 1.5 Kbp fragment was purified and cloned into the vector pCR2.1-TOPO (Invitrogen), transformed into E. coli strain TOP 10 (Invitrogen), and the DNA sequence verified.

Table 1. Oligonucleotide primers used to construct CD20-CD28 scorpion cassette. Primers are separated into 2 groups, PCR and Sequencing. PCR primers were used to construct the cassette and sequencing primers were used to confirm the DNA sequence of all intermediates and final constructs.
n2H7 Vk and human/Vp-leader sequence fusion
Oligonucleotide-directed PCR mutagenesis was used to introduce an Agel (ACCGGT) restriction site at the 5’ end of the coding region for TRU 015 VK and an
Nhe I (GCTAGC) restriction site at the 3’ end of the coding region for the (G4S)3 linker using primers 3 and 5 from Table 1. Since primer 3 also encodes the last 6 amino acids of the human VK3 leader (gb:X01668), overlapping PCR was used to sequentially add the N-terminal sequences of the leader including a consensus Kozak box and HinDIII (AAGCTT) restriction site using primers 1, 2 and 5 from Table 1, n2H7 IgGl SSS hwe-CH;Cnj Construction
Primers 4 and 6 (SEQ ID NOS: 18 and 20, respectively; Table 1) were used to re-amplify the TRU-015 Vh with an Nhel site 5' to fuse with the Vk for TRU-015 and an Xho I (5’-CTCGAG-3’) site at the 3' end junction with the IgGl hinge-CHzCm domains. Likewise, the IgGl hinge-Cn2-Cii3 region was amplified using primers 8 and 9 from Table 1, introducing a 5' Xho I site and replacing the existing 3' end with an EcoRI (5’-GAATTC-3’) site for cloning, and destroying the stop codon to allow translation of Binding Domain 2 attached downstream of the CH3 domain.. This version of the scorpion cassette is distinguished from the previously described cassette by the prefix n.
In addition to the multivalent binding protein described above, a protein according to the invention may have a binding domain, either binding domain 1 or 2 or both, that corresponds to a single variable region of an immunoglobulin.
Exemplary embodiments of this aspect of the invention would include binding

2016231617 23 Sep 2016 domains corresponding to the Vh domain of a camelid antibody, or a single modified or unmodified V region of another species antibody capable of binding to the target antigen, although any single variable domain is contemplated as useful in the proteins of the invention.
2E12 VL-VH and VH-VL constructions
In order to make the 2E12 scFvs compatible with the cassette, an internal Xba I (5’-TCTAGA-3’) site had to be destroyed using overlapping oligonucleotide primers 17 and 18 from Table 1. These two primers in combination with primer pairs 14/16 (VL-VH) or 13/15 (VH-VL) were used to amplify the two oppositely oriented binding domains such that they both carried EcoRI and Xbal sites at their 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Primers 13 and 16 also encode a stop codon (TAA) immediately in front of the Xba I site.
2H7 SSS IgGl 2el2 LH/HL Construction
Effector Domain- Binding Domain 2 Linker addition. (STD linkers - STD I and STD2)
Complementary primers 11 and 12 from Table 1 were combined, heated to 70°C and slow-cooled to room temperature to allow annealing of the two strands. 5' phosphate groups were added using T4 polynucleotide kinase (Roche) in IX Ligation buffer with ImM ATP(Roche) using the manufacturer's protocol. The resulting doublestranded linker was then ligated into the EcoRI site between the coding regions for the
IgGl Ch3 terminus and the beginning of Binding Domain 2 using T4 DNA ligase (Roche). The resultant DNA constructs were screened for the presence of an EcoRI site at the linker-BD2 junction and the nucleotide sequence GAATTA at the Ch3linker junction. The correct STD 1 linker construct was then re-digested with EcoRI and the linker ligation repeated to produce a molecule that had a linker composed of two (STD 2) identical iterations of the Lxl sequence. DNA constructs were again screened as above.

125 multivalent binding proteins were transiently transfected into COS cells and the transfected cells were maintained under well known conditions permissive for heterologous gene expression in these cells. DNA was transiently transfected into COS cells using PEI or DEAE-Dextran as previously described (PEI= Boussif O. et al., PNAS 92: 7297-7301, (1995), incorporated herein by reference; Pollard H. et al., JBC 273: 7507-7511, (1998), incorporated herein by reference). Multiple independent transfections of each new molecule were performed in order to determine the average expression level for each new form. For transfection by PEI, COS cells were plated onto 60 mm tissue culture plates in DMEM/10%FBS medium and incubated overnight so that they would be approximately 90% confluent on the day of transfection. Medium was changed to serum free DMEM containing no antibiotics and incubated for 4 hours. Transfection medium (4ml/plate) contained serum free DMEM with 50 pg PEI and 10-20 ug DNA plasmid of interest. Transfection medium was mixed by vortexing, incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes, and added to plates after aspirating the existing medium. Cultures were incubated for 3-7 days prior to collection of supernatants. Culture supernatants were assayed for protein expression by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, binding verified by flow cytometry, and function assayed using a variety of assays including ADCC, CDC, and coculture experiments.
SDS-PAGE Analysis and Western Blotting Analysis
Samples were prepared either from crude culture supernatants (usually 30 μΐ/well) or purified protein aliquots, containing 8 ug protein per well, and 2X Tris-Glycine SDS Buffer (Invitrogen) was added to a IX final concentration. Ten (10) μΐ SeeBlue Marker (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were run to provide MW size standards. The multivalent binding (fusion) protein variants were subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis on 4-20% Novex Tris-glycine gels (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA). Samples were loaded using Novex Tris-glycine SDS sample buffer (2X) under reducing or nonreducing conditions after heating at 95°C for 3 minutes, followed by electrophoresis at 175V for 60 minutes. Electrophoresis was performed using IX Novex Tris-Glycine
SDS Running Buffer (Invitrogen).
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes using a semi-dry electroblotter apparatus (Ellard, Seattle, WA) for 1 hour at 100 mAmp. Western

Binding Studies
Binding studies were performed to assess the bispecific binding properties of the CD20/CD28 multispecific, multivalent binding peptides. Initially, WIL2-S cells were added to 96 well plates and centrifuged to pellet cells. To the seeded plates, CD20/CD28 purified protein was added, using two-fold titrations across the plate from 20 μg/ml down to 0.16 μg/ml. A two-fold dilution series of TRU-015 (source of binding domain 1) purified protein was also added to seeded plate wells, the

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
127 concentration of TRU-015 extending from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. One well containing no protein served as a background control.
Seeded plates containing the proteins were incubated on ice for one hour. Subsequently, the wells were washed once with 200 μΐ 1% FBS in PBS. Goat anti5 human antibody labeled with FITC (Fc Sp) at 1:100 was then added to each well, and the plates were again incubated on ice for one hour. The plates were then washed once with 200 μΐ 1% FBS in PBS and the cells were re-suspended in 200 μΐ 1% FBS and analyzed by FACS.
To assess the binding properties of the anti-CD28 peptide 2E12 VhVl, CD2810 expressing CHO cells were plated by seeding in individual wells of a culture plate.
The CD20/CD28 purified protein was then added to individual wells using a two-fold dilution scheme, extending from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. The 2E12IgG-VHVL SMIP purified protein was added to individual seeded wells, again using a two-fold dilution scheme, i.e., from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. One well received no protein to provide a background control. The plates were then incubated on ice for one hour, washed once with 200 μΐ 1% FBS in PBS, and goat anti-human antibody labeled with FITC (Fc Sp, CalTag, Burlingame, CA) at 1.100 was added to each well. The plates were again incubated on ice for one hour and subsequently washed once with 200 μΐ 1% FBS in PBS. Following re-suspension of the cells in 200 μΐ 1% FBS,
FACS analysis was performed. The results showed that multivalent binding proteins with the N-terminal CD20 binding domain 1 bound CD20; those proteins having the C-terminal CD28 binding domain 2 in the N-Vh-Vl-C orientation also bound CD28.
The expressed proteins were shown to bind to CD20 presented on WIL-2S cells (see Figure 3) and to CD28 presented on CHO cells (refer to Figure 3) by flow cytometry (FACS), thereby demonstrating that either BD1 or BD2 could function to bind the specific target antigen. Each data set on the graphs in Figure 3 shows the binding of serial dilutions of the different multivalent binding (fusion) proteins over the titration ranges indicated. The data obtained using these initial constructs indicate that multivalent binding (fusion) proteins with the binding domain 2 version using
2e 12 in the VHVL orientation express better and bind better to CD28 than the form in the VLVH orientation at equivalent concentrations.

Figure 4 shows a graphical presentation of the results of binding studies performed with purified proteins from each of these transfections/constructs. The figure shows binding profiles of the proteins to CD20 expressing W1L-2S cells, demonstrating that the multivalent molecule binds to CD20 as well as the single specificity SM1P at the same concentration. The top and bottom panels for Figure 5 show the binding profiles of the BD2 specificity (2el2=CD28) to CD28 CHO cells. For binding of binding domain 2 to CD28, the orientation of the V regions affected binding of the 2el2. 2H7-sss-hIgG-STDl-2el2 multivalent binding proteins with the 2el2 in the VH-VL (HL) orientation showed binding at a level equivalent to the single specificity SMIP, while the 2el2 LH molecule showed less efficient binding at the same concentration.

Construction of Various Linker Forms of the Multivalent Fusion Proteins.
This example describes the construction of the different linker forms listed in the table shown in Figure 6.
Construction of Ch)-BD2 linkers Hl through H7
To explore the effect of Ch3-BD2 linker length and composition on expression 20 and binding of the scorpion molecules, an experiment was designed to compare the existing molecule 2H7sssIgGl-Lxl-2el2HL to a larger set of similar constructs with different linkers. Using 2H7sssIgGl-Lxl-2el2HL as template, a series of PCR reactions were performed using the primers listed in Oligonucleotide Table 2, which created linkers that varied in length form 0 to 16 amino acids. These linkers were constructed as nucleic acid fragments that spanned the coding region for Ch3 at the BsrGI site to the end of the nucleic acid encoding the linker-BD2 junction at the EcoRI site.

Figure 6 diagrams the schematic structure of a multivalent binding (fusion) protein and shows the orientation of the V regions for each binding domain, the sequence present at linker position 1 (only the Cys residues are listed), and the sequence and identifier for the linker(s) located at linker position 2 of the molecules.

Binding and Functional Studies With Variant Linker Forms of the 2H7-IgG-2el2 Prototype Multivalent Fusion Proteins.
This example shows the results of a series of expression and binding studies on the “prototype” 2H7-sssIgG-Hx-2el 2 VHVL construct with various linkers (HlH7) present in the linker position 2. Each of these proteins was expressed by large15 scale COS transient transfection and purification of the molecules using protein A affinity chromatography, as described in the previous examples. Purified proteins were then subjected to analyses including SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, binding studies analyzed by flow cytometry, and functional assays for biological activity.
Binding Studies Comparine the Different BD2 Orientations
Binding studies were performed as described in the previous examples, except that protein A-purified material was used, and a constant amount of binding (fusion) protein was used for each variant studied, i.e., 0.72 ug/ml. Figure 7 shows a columnar graph comparing the binding properties of each linker variant and 2el2 orientation variant to both CD20 and CD28 target cells. H1-H6 refer to constructs with the Hl25 H6 linkers and 2el2 in the VH-VL orientation. L1-L6 refer to constructs with the HlH6 linkers and 2el2 in the VL-VH orientation. The data demonstrate that the binding

130 domain 2 specificity for 2el2 binds much more efficiently when present in the HL orientation (samples H1-H6) than when in the LH orientation (samples L1-L6). The effect of linker length is complicated by the discovery, as shown in the next set of figures, that molecules with the longer linkers contain some single-specificity cleaved molecules which are missing the CD28 binding specificity at the carboxy terminus. Other experiments were performed which address the binding of selected linkers, with the results shown in Figures 10, 12, and 13.
SDS-PAGE Analysis of purified H1-H7 Linker Variants
Samples were prepared from purified protein aliquots, containing 8 gg protein per 10 well, and 2X Tris-Glycine SDS Buffer (Invitrogen) was added to a IX final concentration. For reduced samples/gels, 10X reducing buffer was added to IX to samples plus Tris-Glycine SDS buffer. Ten (10) μΐ SeeBlue Marker (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was run to provide MW size standards. The multivalent binding (fusion) protein variants were subjected to SDS-PAGE analyses on 4-20% Novex
Tris-glycine gels (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA). Samples were loaded using Novex
Tris-glycine SDS sample buffer (2X) under reducing or non-reducing conditions after heating at 95°C for 3 minutes, followed by electrophoresis at 175V for 60 minutes. Electrophoresis was performed using IX Novex Tris-Glycine SDS Running Buffer (Invitrogen). Gels were stained after electrophoresis in Coomassie SDS PAGE R-250 stain for 30 minutes with agitation, and destained for at least one hour. Figure 8 shows the nonreduced and reduced Coomassie stained gels of the [2H7-sss-hIgG P238S/P331S-Hx-2el2 VHVL] multivalent binding (fusion) protein variants, along with TRU-015 and 2el2 HLSMIP as control samples. As the linker length is increased, the amount of protein running at approximately SMIP size (or 52 kDa) increases. The increase in the amount of protein in this band corresponds with a decrease in the amount of protein in the upper band running at about 90 kDa. The gel data indicate that the full-length molecule is being cleaved at or near the linker, to generate a molecule which is missing the BD2 region. A smaller BD2 fragment is not present, indicating (1) that the nucleotide sequence within the linker sequence may be creating a cryptic splice site that removes the smaller fragment from the spliced RNA transcript, or (2) that the protein is proteolyrically cleaved after translation of the fullsize polypeptide, and that the smaller BD2 fragment is unstable, i.e., susceptible to proteolytic processing. Western blotting of some of these molecules indicates that the
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
131 proteins all contain the CD20 BD1 sequence, but the smaller band is missing the CD28 BD2 reactivity. No smaller band migrating at ’’bare” scFv size (25-27 kDa) was observed on any gels or blots, indicating that this smaller peptide fragment is not present in the samples.
Western Blot Binding of BD1 and BD2 bv 2H7 specific Fab or CD28mIg
Figure 9 shows the results of Western blotting of the 2H7-sss-hIgG-H6 multivalent binding (fusion) proteins compared to each single-specificity SMIP.
Electrophoresis was performed under non-reducing conditions, and without boiling samples prior to loading. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes using a semi-dry electroblotter apparatus (Ellard, Seattle, WA) for 1 hour at 100 mAmp. Membranes were blocked in BLOTTO (5% nonfat milk in PBS) overnight with agitation. Figure 9A: Membranes were incubated with the AbyD02429.2, a Fab directed to the 2H7 antibody, at 5 qg/ml in BLOTTO for one hour, then washed 3 times for 5 minutes each in PBS-0.5% Tween 20. Membranes were then incubated in 6X His-HRP for one hour at a concentration of 0.5 pg/ml. Blots were washed three times for 15 minutes each in PBST. Wet membranes were incubated with ECL solution for 1 minute, followed by exposure to X-omat film for 20 seconds.
Figure 9B: Membranes were incubated with CD28Ig (Ancell, Bayport, MN) at 10 pg/ml in BLOTTO, then washed three times for 15 minutes each in PBS-0.5% Tween 20. Membranes were then incubated in goat anti-mouse HRP conjugate (CalTag, Burlingame, CA) at 1:3000 in BLOTTO. Membranes were washed three times, for 15 minutes each, then incubated in ECL solution for 1 minute, followed by exposure to X-omat film for 20 seconds. The results from the Western blots indicated that the
CD28 binding domain was present in the multivalent “monomer” fraction migrating at approximately 90 kDa, and in higher order forms. No band was detectable migrating at the position expected for a single SMIP or bare scFv size fragment.
When the CD20 anti-idiotype Fab was used, a SMIP-sized fragment was detected, indicating the presence of a peptide fragment containing (2H7-sss-hIgG), and missing the CD28 scFv BD2 portion of the fusion protein.

Binding Studies on Selected Linkers
Figure 10 shows the results of binding studies performed on the purified 2H7-ssshIgG-Hx-2el2 fusion proteins. Binding studies were performed to assess the bispecific binding properties ofthe CD20/CD28 multispecific binding peptides.
Initially, WIL2-S cells were plated using conventional techniques. To the seeded plates, CD20/CD28 purified protein was added, using two-fold titrations across the plate from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. A two-fold dilution series of TRU-015 (source of binding domain 1) purified protein was also added to seeded plate wells, the concentration of TRU-015 extending from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. One well containing no protein served as a background control.
Seeded plates containing the proteins were incubated on ice for one hour. Subsequently, the wells were washed once with 200 pi 1% FBS in PBS. Goat antihuman antibody labeled with FITC (Fc Sp) at 1:100 was then added to each well, and the plates were again incubated on ice for one hour. The plates were then washed once with 200 pi 1% FBS in PBS and the cells were re-suspended in 200 pi 1% FBS and analyzed by FACS.
To assess the binding properties of the anti-CD28 peptide 2E12 VhVl, CD28expressing CHO cells were plated by seeding in individual wells of a culture plate. The CD20/CD28 purified protein was then added to individual wells using a two-fold dilution scheme, extending from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. The 2E12IgGvHvL SMIP purified protein was added to individual seeded wells, again using a two-fold dilution scheme, i.e., from 20 pg/ml down to 0.16 pg/ml. One well received no protein to provide a background control. The plates were then incubated on ice for one hour, washed once with 200 pi 1% FBS in PBS, and goat anti-human antibody labeled with FITC (Fc Sp) at 1:100 was added to each well. The plates were again incubated on ice for one hour and subsequently washed once with 200 pi 1% FBS in PBS. Following re-suspension of the cells in 200 pi 1% FBS, FACS analysis was performed. The expressed proteins were shown to bind to CD20 presented on WIL2S cells (see Figure 10A) and to CD28 presented on CHO cells (refer to Figure 10B) by flow cytometry (FACS), thereby demonstrating that either BD1 or BD2 could function to bind the specific target antigen. In addition, the linker used (H1-H6) was not found to significantly affect binding avidity to target antigen.

SEC Fractionation of Multivalent Binding (Fusion) Proteins. The binding (fusion) protein was purified from cell culture supernatants by protein A Sepharose affinity chromatography over a GE Healthcare XK 16/40 column. After binding of protein to the column, the column was washed in dPBS, then 1.0 M NaCI, 20 mM sodium phosphate pH 6.0, and then 25 mM NaCI, 25 mN NaOAc, pH 5.0, to remove nonspecific binding proteins. Bound protein was eluted from the column in 100 mM Glycine (Sigma), pH 3.5, and brought to pH 5.0 with 0.5 M 2-(N-Morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES), pH 6.0, Protein samples were concentrated to 25 mg/ml using conventional techniques in preparation for GPC purification. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed on a GE Healthcare AKTA Explorer 100 Air apparatus, using a GE healthcare XK column and Superdex 200, preparative grade (GE healthcare).
Figure 12 shows a table summarizing the results of SEC fractionation of the different binding (fusion) proteins. With increasing linker length, the complexity of the molecules in solution also increases, making it difficult to isolate peak of interest, or POI from higher order forms by HPLC. The H7 linker seems to resolve much of this complexity into a more homogeneous form in solution, so that the soluble forms migrate mostly as a single POI at approximately 172 kDa,
Additional Binding Studies
A second series of experiments was performed (see Figures 12 and 13) with a smaller subset of multivalent binding (fusion) proteins, this time comparing linkers H3, H6, and H7. The data demonstrate that the binding level drops more significantly for CD28 than for CD20 binding, but both drop slightly as linker length increases. Further, the data showed that the H7 linker exhibited the highest level of binding to both antigens. These data were obtained using protein A-purified multivalent binding (fusion) proteins, but were not further purified by SEC, so multiple forms of the molecules may have been present in solution. The results also indicated that the truncated form may have been less stable than the true multivalent polypeptide, since the binding curves do not appear to fully reflect the significant amount of single specificity form present in solution for linker H6.

Demonstration of Multispecific Binding From a Single Molecule
An alternative binding assay was performed (see Figure 13), where binding to CD20 on the surface of WIL-2S cells was detected with a reagent specific for the CD28 BD2, thereby demonstrating that simultaneous binding may occur to both target antigens, engaging both BD1 and BD2 on the same multispecific binding (fusion) protein (refer to Figure 12) This assay demonstrates the multispecific binding property of the proteins.

Construction of Multispecific Binding (Fusion) Proteins With Alternative Specificities in BD2
In addition to the prototype CD20-CD28 multispecific binding molecule, two other forms were made with alternative binding domain 2 regions, including CD37 and CD3 binding domains. The molecules were also made with several of the linker domains described for the [2H7-sss-IgG-Hx/STDx-2el2 HL] multispecific binding (fusion) proteins. The construction of these additional multispecific binding (fusion) molecules are described below.

Table 3. Oligonucleotide primers used to generate G28-1 anti-CD37 binding domains for both SMIP molecules and scorpions.
The G28-1 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 102) was converted to the G28-1 LH SMIP by PCR using the primers in Table X above. Combining primers 23 and 25 with 10 ng G28-1 scFv, the VK was amplified for 30 cycles of 94C, 20 seconds, 58C, 15 seconds, 68C, 15 seconds using Platinum PCR Supermix Hi-Fidelity PCR mix (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in an ABI 9700 Thermalcycler. The product of this PCR had the restriction sites PinAI (Agel) at the 5' end of the VK and Nhel at the end of the scFv (G4S)3 linker. The VH was similarly altered by combining primers 24 and 26 with 10 ng G28-1 scFv in a PCR run under the identical conditions as with the VK above. This PCR product had the restriction sites Nhel at the 5' end of the VH and
Xhol at the 3' end. Because significant sequence identity overlap was engineered into primers 23 and 24, the VK and VH were diluted 5-fold, then added at a 1:1 ratio to a PCR using the flanking primers 25 and 26 and a full-length scFv was amplified as above by lengthening the 68C extension time from 15 seconds to 45 seconds. This PCR product represented the entire G28-1 scFv as a PinAI-XhoI fragment and was purified by MinElute column (Qiagen,) purification to remove excess primers, enzymes and salts. The eluate was digested to completion with PinAI (Invitrogen)and Xhol (Roche) in IX H buffer (Roche,) at 37C for 4 hours in a volume of 50 pL. The digested PCR product was then electrophoresed in a 1% agarose gel, the fragment was removed from the gel and re-purified on a MinElute column using buffer QG and incubating the gel-buffer mix at 50C for 10 minutes with intermittent mixing to dissolve the agarose after which the purification on the column was identical for primer removal post-PCR. 3 pL PinAI-Xhol digested G28-1 LH was combined with 1 pL PinAI-Xhol digested pD18-n2H7sssIgGl SMIP in a 10 pL reaction with 5 pL 2X LigaFast Ligation Buffer (Promega, Madison, WI) and 1 pL T4 DNA ligase (Roche), mixed well and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. 3 pL of this ligation was then transformed into competent TOP 10 (Invitrogen) using the
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
136 manufacturer's protocol. These transformants were plated on LB agar plates with 100 pg/ml carbenicillin(Teknova,) and incubated overnight at 37C. After 18 hours of growth, colonies were picked and inoculated into 1 ml T-Broth (Teknova,) containing 100 pg/ml carbenicillin in a deep well 96-well plate and grown overnight in a 37C shaking incubator. After 18-24 hours of growth, DNA was isolated from each overnight culture using the QIAprep 96 Turbo Kit (Qiagen) on the BioRobot8000 (Qiagen). 10 pL from each clone was then digested with both Hindlll and Xhol restriction enzymes in IX B buffer in a 15 pL reaction volume. The digested DNA was electrophoresed on 1% agarose E-gels (Invitrogen, CA) for restriction site analysis. Clones that contained a Hindlll-Xhol fragment of the correct size were sequence verified. The G28-1 HL SMIP was constructed in a similar manner by placing a PinAI site on the 5' end and a (G4S)4 linker ending in an Nhe I site of the G28-1 VH using primers 29, 30 31 and 32 from Table X above. The VK was altered by PCR using primers 33 and 34 from Table X such that an Nhel site was introduced at the 5' end of the VK and Xhol at the 3' end. These PCRs were then combined as above and amplified with the flanking primers 29 and 34 to yield an intact G28-1 scFv DNA in the VH-VL orientation which was cloned into PinAI-XhoI digested pD18-(n2H7)sssIgGl SMIP exactly as with the G28-1 LH SMIP,
2H7sssIgGl-STDl-G28-l LH/HL Construction
Using the G28-1 LH and G28-1 HL SMIPs as templates, the LH and HL antiCD37 binding domains were altered by PCR such that their flanking restriction sites were compatible with the scorpion cassette. An EcoRI site was introduced at the 5' end of each scFv using either primer 27 (LH) or 36 (HL) and a stop codon/ Xbal site at the 3' end using either primer 28 (LH) or 35 (HL). The resulting DNAs were cloned into EcoRI-Xbal digested pD 18-2H7sssIgG-STD 1.
2H7sssIgG 1 -Hx-G28-1 HL Construction
2H7sssIgGl-Hx-2el2 HL DNAs were digested with BsrGI and EcoRI and the 325 bp fragment consisting of the C-terminal end of the IgGl and linker. These were substituted for the equivalent region in 2H7sssIgGl-STD 1-G19-4 HL by removal of the STD 1 linker using BsrGI-EcoRI and replacing it with the corresponding linkers from the 2H7sssIgGl-Hx-2el2 HL clones.

Table 4. Oligonucleotides used to generate anti-CD3 binding domain from the G19-4 scFv sequence.
The G19-4 binding domain was synthesized by extension of overlapping oligonucleotide primers as described previously. The tight chain PCR was done in two steps, beginning by combining primers 43/44,42/45,41/46 and 40/47 at concentrations of 5uM, 10 μΜ, 20 μΜ and 40 μΜ respectively, in Platinum PCR
Supermix Hi-Fidelity for 30 cycles of 94°C, 20 seconds, 60°C, 10 seconds, 68°C, 15 seconds. 1 pL of the resultant PCR product was reamplified using a primer mix of 39/48 (10 μΜ), 38/49 (20 μΜ) and 37/50 (40 μΜ) for the LH or 66/67 (40 μΜ) for the HL orientation, using the same PCR conditions with the exception of the 68C extension which was increased to 25 seconds. The VK in the LH orientation was bounded by PinAI at the 5' end and Nhel at the 3' end, while the HL orientation had Nhel at the 5' end and Xhol at the 3’ end.
To synthesize the heavy chain, primer mixes with the same concentrations as above were prepared by combining primers 56/57, 55/58, 54/59 and 53/60 for the first PCR step. In the second PCR, primers 52/61 (20 μΜ) and 51/62 (50 μΜ) were amplified with 1 μΐ from the first PCR using the same PCR conditions as with the second PCR of the light chain to make the LH orientation with Nhel at the 5' end and Xhol at the 3' end. Primers 52/61(10 μΜ), 63/64 (20 μΜ), 63 (20 μΜ)/65 (40 μΜ) and 63(20 μΜ)/5 (80 μΜ) were combined in a second PCR with luL from the previous PCR to create the heavy chain in the HL orientation with PinAI at the 5' end and Nhel at the 3' end. As with previous constructs, sufficient overlap was designed

139 into the primers centered around the Nhel site such that the G19-4 LH was synthesized by combining the heavy and light chain PCRs in the LH orientation and reamplifying with the flanking primers, 37 and 62 and the G19-4 HL was synthesized by combining the HL PCRs and re-amplifying with primers 63 and 67.
Full-length G19-4 LH/HL PCR products were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, excised from the gel and purified with Qiagen MinElute columns as described earlier. These DNAs were then TOPO-cloned into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen), transformed into TOP 10 and colonies screened First by EcoRI fragment size, then by DNA sequencing. G19-4 LH/HL were then cloned into pD18-IgGl via PinAI-XhoI for expression in mammalian cells.
2H7ss$IeGl-STD 1-G 19-4 LH/HL Construction
Using the G19-4 LH and G19-4 HL SMIPs as templates, the LH and HL antiCD3 binding domains were altered by PCR such that their flanking restriction sites were compatible with the scorpion cassette. An EcoRI site was introduced at the 5’ end of each scFv using either primer 27 (LH) or 36 (HL) and a stop codon/ Xbal site at the 3' end using either primer 28 (LH) or 35 (HL). The resulting DNAs were cloned into EcoRI-Xbal digested pD18-2H7sss!gG-STDl.
2H7sssIgG 1 -Hx-G 19-4 HL Construction
2H7sssIgGl-Hx-2el2 HL DNAs were digested with BsrGI and EcoRI and the
325 bp fragment consisting of the C-terminal end of the IgG 1 and linker. These were substituted for the equivalent region in 2H7sssIgGl-STD 1-G 19-4 HL by removal of the STD1 linker using BsrGI-EcoRI and replacing it with the corresponding linkers from the 2H7sssIgGl-Hx-2el2 HL clones.
Apparent from a consideration of the variety of multivalent binding proteins disclosed herein are features of the molecules that are amenable to combination in forming the molecules of the invention. Those features include binding domain 1, a constant sub-region, including a hinge or hinge-like domain, a linker domain, and a binding domain 2. The intrinsic modularity in the design of these novel binding proteins makes it straightforward for one skilled in the art to manipulate the DNA sequence at the N-terminal and/or C-terminal ends of any desirable module such that it can be inserted at almost any position to create a new molecule exhibiting altered or

140 enhanced functionality compared to the parental molecule(s) from which it was derived. For example, any binding domain derived from a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily is contemplated as either binding domain 1 or binding domain 2 of the molecules according to the invention. The derived binding domains include domains having amino acid sequences, and even encoding polynucleotide sequences, that have a one-to-one correspondence with the sequence of a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, as well as variants and derivatives that preferably share 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 99.5% sequence identity with a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. These binding domains (1 and 2) are preferably linked to other modules of the molecules according to the invention through linkers that may vary in sequence and length as described elsewhere herein, provided that the linkers are sufficient to provide any spacing and flexibility necessary for the molecule to achieve a functional tertiary structure. Another module of the multivalent binding proteins is the hinge region, which may correspond to the hinge region of a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, but may be a variant thereof, such as the “CSC” or “SSS” hinge regions described herein. Also, the constant sub-region comprises a module of the proteins according to the invention that may correspond to a sub-region of a constant region of an immunoglobulin superfamily member, as is typified by the structure of a hinge-Cn2-CH3 constant sub-region. Variants and derivatives of constant sub-regions are also contemplated, preferably having amino acid sequences that share 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 99.5% sequence identity with a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily.
Exemplary primary structures of the features of such molecules are presented in Table 5, which discloses the polynucleotide and cognate amino acid sequence of illustrative binding domains 1 and 2, as well as the primary structure of a constant sub-region, including a hinge or hinge-like domain, and a linker that may be interposed, e.g,, between the C-terminal end of a constant sub-region and the Nterminal end of a binding domain 2 region of a multivalent binding protein.
Additional exemplars of the molecules according to the invention include the above30 described features wherein, e.g., either or both of binding domains 1 and 2 comprise a domain derived from a Vl or VL-like domain of a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a Vh or Vn-hke domain derived from the same or a different member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, with these domains separated by a linker typified

I4t by any of the linkers disclosed herein. Contemplated are molecules in which the orientation of these domains is Vl-Vh or Vh*Vl for BD1 and/or BD2. A more complete presentation of the primary structures of the various features of the multivalent binding molecules according to the invention is found in the table appended at the end of this disclosure. The invention further comprehends polynucleotides encoding such molecules.

Binding and Functional Studies with Alternative Multispecific Fusion Proteins
Experiments that parallel the experiments described above for the prototypical CD20-IgG-CD28 multispecific binding (fusion) molecule were conducted for each of
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052

148 the additional multivalent binding molecules described above. In general, the data obtained for these additional molecules parallel the results observed for the prototype molecule. Some of the salient results of these experiments are disclosed below.
Figure 14 shows results of blocking studies performed on one of the new molecules where both BD1 and BD2 bind to target antigens on the same cell or cell type, in this case, CD20 and CD37. This multispecific, multivalent binding (fusion) protein was designed with binding domain 1 binding CD20 (2H7; VLVH orientation), and binding domain 2 binding CD37, G28-1 VL-VH (LH) or VH-VL (HL). The experiment was performed in order to demonstrate the multispecific properties of the protein.
Blocking Studies:Ramos or BJAB B lymphoblastoid cells (2.5x10s) were preincubated in 96-well V-bottom plates in staining medium (PBS with 2% mouse sera) with murine anti-CD20 (25 pg/ml) antibody, or murine anti-CD37 (10 gg/ml) antibody, both together or staining medium alone for 45 minutes on ice in the dark. Blocking antibodies were pre-incubated with cells for 10 minutes at room temperature prior to addition of the multispecific binding (fusion) protein at the concentration ranges indicated, usually from 0.02 gg/ml to 10 gg/ml, and incubated for a further 45 minutes on ice in the dark. Cells were washed 2 times in staining medium, and incubated for one hour on ice with Caltag (Burlingame, CA) FITC goat anti-human IgG (1:100) in staining medium, to detect binding of the multispecific binding (fusion) proteins to the cells. The cells were then washed 2 times with PBS and fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (cat. no. 19943, USB, Cleveland, Ohio). The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using a FACsCalibur instrument and CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Each data series plots the binding of the 2H7-ssshIgG-STDl-G28-l HL fusion protein in the presence of CD20, CD37, or both CD20 and CD37 blocking antibodies. Even though this experiment used one of the cleaved linkers, only the presence of both blocking antibodies completely eliminates binding by the multispecific binding (fusion) protein, demonstrating that the bulk of the molecules possess binding function for both CD20 and CD37. The data were similar for two cell lines tested in panels A and B, Ramos and BJAB, where the CD20 blocking antibody was more effective than the CD37 blocking antibody at reducing the level of binding observed by the multispecific binding (fusion) protein.

ADCC Assays
Figure 15 shows the results of ADCC assays performed on the CD20-CD37 multispecific binding (fusion) proteins. ADCC assays were performed using BJAB lymphoblastoid B cells as targets and human PBMC as effector cells. BJAB cells were labeled with 500 pCi/ml 51Cr sodium chromate (250 pCi/pg) for 2 hours at 37°C in IMDM/10%FBS. The labeled cells were washed three times in RPMI.10% FBS and resuspended at 4xl05 cells/ml in RPMI. Heparinized, human whole blood was obtained from anonymous, in-house donors and PBMC isolated by fractionation over Lymphocyte Separation Media (LSM, ICN Biomedical) gradients. Buffy coats were harvested and washed twice in RPMI/10% FBS prior to resuspension in RPMI/10%
FBS at a final concentration of 5x106 cells/ml. Cells were counted by trypan blue exclusion using a hemacytometer prior to use in subsequent assays. Reagent samples were added to RPMI medium with 10% FBS at 4 times the final concentration and three 10 fold serial dilutions for each reagent were prepared. These reagents were then added to 96-well U-bottom plates at 50 μΐ/well for the indicated final concentrations. The slCr-labeled BJAB cells were added to the plates at 50 μΐ/well (2xl04 cells/well). The PBMCs were then added to the plates at 100 μΐ/well (5x105 cells/well) for a final ratio of 25:1 effector (PBMC):target (BJAB). Effectors and targets were added to medium alone to measure background killing. The 51Cr-labeled cells were added to medium alone to measure spontaneous release of 5ICr and to medium with 5% NP40 (cat. no.28324, Pierce, Rockford, IL) to measure maximal release of 51Cr. Reactions were set up in triplicate wells of a 96-well plate. Multispecific binding (fusion) proteins were added to wells at a final concentration ranging from 0.01 μg/ml to 10μβ/πι1, as indicated on the graphs. Each data series plots a different multispecific binding (fusion) protein or the corresponding single specificity SMIPs at the titration ranges described. Reactions were allowed to proceed for 6 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2 prior to harvesting and counting. Twenty-five μΐ of the supernatant from each well were then transferred to a Luma Plate 96 (cat. no. 6006633, Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass) and dried overnight at room temperature.
CPM released was measured on a Packard TopCounNXT. Percent specific killing was calculated by subtracting (cpm {mean of triplicate samples) of sample - cpm spontaneous release)/(cpm maximal release-cpm spontaneous release) xlOO. Data are plotted as % specific killing versus protein concentration. The data demonstrate that
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
150 the multispecific binding (fusion) protein is able to mediate ADCC activity against cells expressing the target antigen(s) as well as the single specificity SMIPs for CD20 and/or CD37, but does not show augmentation in the level of this effector function.
Co-culture Experiments
Figure 16 shows the results of experiments designed to look at other properties of this type of multispecific binding (fusion) protein, where having two binding domains against targets expressed on the same cell or cell type might result in synergistic effects by signaling/binding through the two surface receptors bound. The co-culture experiments were performed using PBMC isolated as described for the
ADCC assays above.. These PBMC were resuspended in culture medium at 2x106 cells/ml in a final volume of 500 μΐ/well, and cultured alone or incubated with single specificity SMIPs for CD20, CD37, CD20+CD37, or the multispecific binding (fusion) protein using the H7 linker, [2H7-sss-IgG-H7-G28-l HL]. Each of the test reagents was added at a final concentration of 20 pg/ml. After 24 hours of culture, no real differences were seen in the % of B cells in culture; however, when the cells were subjected to flow cytometry, cell clumping was visible in the FWD X 90 staining pattern for the cultures containing the multispecific binding (fusion) protein, indicating that the B cells expressing the two target antigens were engaged in homotypic adhesion. After 72 hours in culture, the multispecific binding (fusion) protein resulted in the death of almost all the B cells present. The combination of the two single-specificity SMIPs also drastically decreased the percentage of B cells, but not to the level seen with the multispecific binding molecule. These data suggest that engaging both binding domains for CD20 and CD 3 7 on the same multispecific molecule, results in homotypic adhesion between B cells and may also result in binding of both CD20 and CD37 antigens on the same cell. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the synergistic effect in eliminating target cells may be due (1) to the binding through binding domains 1 and 2 on the same cell types, and/or (2) to interactions of the effector function domain (constant sub-region) of the multivalent binding molecules with monocytes or other cell types in the PBMC culture that result in delayed killing. The kinetics of this killing effect are not rapid, taking more than 24 hours to be achieved, indicating that it is may be a secondary effect, requiring production of cytokines or other molecules prior to the effects being observed.

Apoptosis Assays
Figure 17 shows the results of experiments designed to explore the induction of apoptosis after treatment of B cell lines with either the [2H7-sss-hIgG-H7-G28-l HL] multispecific, multivalent binding (fusion) proteins or the single specificity
CD20 and/or CD37 SMIPS, alone and in combination with one another. Ramos cells (panel A; ATCC No. CRL-1596), and Daudi cells (panel B; ATCC No. CCL-213) were incubated overnight (24 hours) at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Iscoves (Gibco) complete medium with 10% FBS at 3 X 105 cells/ml and 5,10, or 20 gg/ml fusion proteins.
For combination experiments with the single specificity SMIPs, the proteins were used at the following concentrations: TRU-015 (CD20 directed SMIP)=10 pg/ml, with 5 pg/ml G28-1 LH (CD37 directed SMIP). Alternatively, TRU-015=20 pg/ml was combined with G28-1 LH at 10 pg/ml. Cells were then stained with Annexin VFITC and propidium iodide using the BD Pharmingen Apoptosis Detection Kit I cat. no. 556547), and processed according to kit instructions. The cells were gently vortexed, incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 minutes, and diluted in 400 μΐ binding buffer prior to analysis. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry on a FACsCalibur (Becton Dickinson) instrument using Cell Quest software (Becton Dickinson). The data are presented as columnar graphs plotting the percentage of Annexin V/propidium iodide positive cells versus type of treatment. Clearly, the multispecific binding (fusion) protein is able to induce a significantly higher level of apoptotic death in both cell lines than the single specificity reagents, even when used together. This increased functional activity reflects an interaction of the coordinate binding of BD1 and BD2 (specific for CD20 and CD37) receptors on the target cells.

Binding experiments were performed as described for previous molecules, except that the target cells used to measure CD3 binding were Jurkat cells expressing CD3 on their surface. Refer to Figure 18, where the top graph shows binding curves obtained for binding of the CD20-CD3 multispecific molecules to Jurkat cells using purified proteins serially diluted from 20 to 0.05 pg/ml. The HL orientation of the G19-4 specificity seems to bind better to the CD3 antigen than does the LH orientation. The lower panel shows the binding curves obtained for the BD1, the binding domain recognizing CD20. All of the molecules bind well, and at a level nearly equivalent to a single specificity SMIP for CD20.
ADCC Assays
For the data presented in Figure 19, ADCC assays were performed as described in the previous Example. In this case, the fusion proteins were all 2H7hlgG-G 19-4 variants or combinations of the single-specificity SMIPs (2H7, specific for CD20) or antibodies (G19-4, specific for CD3). In addition, for the data presented in the lower panel of Figure 19, NK cells were depleted from PBMC prior to use, by magnetic bead depletion using a MACS (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) column separation apparatus and NK cell-specific CD 16 magnetic microbeads (cat no.: 130045-701). The data presented in the two panels demonstrate that all of the CD20hIgG-CD3 multispecific molecules mediate ADCC, regardless of whether NK cells are depleted or total PBMC are used in the assay. For the TR.U 015 or combinations of G19-4 and TRU015, only cultures containing NK cells could mediate ADCC. G19-4 did not work well in either assay against BJAB targets, which do not express CD3, although G19-4 may have bound to CD3 expressing NK T cells and activated these cells in the first assay shown. The killing observed in the lower panel for the multispecific binding (fusion) proteins is probably mediated through activation of cytotoxicity in the T cell population by binding CD3, against the BJAB targets expressing the CD 20 antigen. This killing activity appears to be relatively insensitive to the dosage of the molecules over the concentration ranges used, and is still significantly different from the other molecules tested, even at a concentration of 0.01 ug/ml.

Multivalent Binding Molecules
Other embodiments include linker domains derived from immunoglobulins. More specifically, the source sequences for these linkers are sequences obtained by comparing regions present between the V-like domains or the V- and C-like domains of other members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Because these sequences are usually expressed as part of the extracellular domain of cell surface receptors, they are expected to be more stable to proteolytic cleavage, and should also not be immunogenic. One type of sequence that is not expected to be as useful in the role of a linker for the multivalent binding (fusion) proteins is the type of sequence expressed on surface-expressed members of the -Ig superfamily, but that occur in the intervening region between the C-like domain and the transmembrane domain. Many of these molecules have been observed in soluble form, and are cleaved in these intervening regions close to the cell membrane, indicating that the sequences are more susceptible to cleavage than the rest of the molecule.
The linkers described above are inserted into either a single specificity SMIP, between the binding domain and the effector function domain, or are inserted into one of the two possible linker positions in a multivalent binding (fusion) protein, as described herein.
A complete listing of the sequences disclosed in this application is appended, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The color coding indicating the sequence of various regions or domains of the particular polynucleotides and polypeptides are useful in identifying a corresponding region or domain in the sequence of any of the molecules disclosed herein.

Screening matrix for scorpion candidates targeting B-cells Introduction
As a means of identifying combinations of paired monoclonal antibody binding domains that would most likely yield useful and potent multivalent binding molecules, or scorpions, against a target population, a series of monoclonal antibodies against B cell antigens was tested in a combination matrix against B cell lines
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
154 representing various non Hodgkin’s lymphomas. To ensure that all possible pairwise comparisons of antibodies known or expected to bind to the cell of interest are assayed, a two-dimensional matrix of antibodies may be used to guide the design of studies using a given cell type. Monoclonal antibodies against numerous B cell antigens known by their cluster designations (CDs) are recorded in the left column. Some of these antibodies (designated by the antigen(s) to which they specifically bind), i.e., CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD30, CD37, CD40, CD70, CD72, CD79a, CD79b, CD80, CD81, CD86, and CL II (MHC Class II), were incubated, alone or in combination with other members of this monoclonal antibody set, with antigen-positive target cells. The variable domains of these antibodies are contemplated as binding domains in exemplary embodiments of the multivalent binding molecules. Using the knowledge in the art and routine procedures, those of skill in the art are able to identify suitable antibody sequences (nucleic acid encoding sequences as well as amino acid sequences), for example in publicly available databases, to generate a suitable antibody or fragment thereof (e.g., by hybridizationbased cloning, PCR, peptide synthesis, and the like), and to construct multivalent binding molecules using such compounds. Sources of exemplary antibodies from which binding domains were obtained as described herein are provided in Table 6. Typically, a cloning or synthesis strategy that realizes the CDR regions of an antibody chain will be used, although any antibody, fragment thereof, or derivative thereof that retains the capacity to specifically bind to a target antigen is contemplated.
Stated in more detail, the cloning of heavy and/or light chain variable regions of antibodies from hybridomas is standard in the art. There is no requirement that the sequence of the variable region of interest be known in order to obtain that region using conventional cloning techniques. See, e.g., Gilliland et al., Tissue Antigens
47(1): 1-20 (1996). To prepare single-chain polypeptides comprising a variable region recognizing a murine or human leukocyte antigen, a method was devised for rapid cloning and expression that yielded functional protein within two to three weeks of RNA isolation from hybridoma cells. Variable regions were cloned by poly-G tailing the first-strand cDNA followed by anchor PCT with a forward poly-C anchor primer and a reverse primer specific for the constant region sequence. Both primers contain flanking restriction endonuclease sites for insertion into pUC19. Sets of PCR primers for isolation of murine, hamster and rat Vl and Vh genes were generated. Following

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
155 determination of consensus sequences for a specific Vl and Vh pair, the Vl and Vh genes were linked by DNA encoding an intervening peptide linker (typically encoding (Gly4Ser)3) and the Vt-linker-VH gene cassettes were transferred into the pCDM8 mammalian expression vector, The constructs were transfected into COS cells and sFvs were recovered from conditioned culture medium supernatant. This method has been successfully used to generate functional sFv to human CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD28, CD40, CD45 and to murine CD3 and gp39, from hybridomas producing murine, rat, or hamster antibodies. Initially, the sFvs were expressed as fusion proteins with the hinge-Cm-Cra domains of human IgGl to facilitate rapid characterization and purification using goat anti-human IgG reagents or protein A.
Active sFv could also be expressed with a small peptide, e.g., a tag, or in a tailless form. Expression of CD3 (G19-4) sFv tailless forms demonstrated increased cellular signaling activity and revealed that sFvs have potential for activating receptors.
Alternatively, identification of the primary amino acid sequence of the variable domains of monoclonal antibodies can be achieved directly, e.g., by limited proteolysis of the antibody followed by N-terminal peptide sequencing using, e.g., the Edman degradation method or by fragmentation mass spectroscopy. N-terminal sequencing methods are well known in the art. Following determination of the primary amino acid sequence, the variable domains, a cDNA encoding this sequence is assembled by synthetic nucleic acid synthesis methods (e.g., PCR) followed by scFv generation. The necessary or preferred nucleic acid manipulation methods are standard in the art.
Fragments, derivatives and analogs of antibodies, as described above, are also contemplated as suitable binding domains. Further, any of the constant sub-regions described above are contemplated, including constant sub-regions comprising any of the above-described hinge regions. Additionally, the multivalent single-chain binding molecules described in this example may include any or all of the linkers described herein.
Monoclonal antibodies were initially exposed to cells and then cross-linked using a goat anti-mouse second-step antibody (2nd step). Optionally, one could crosslink the antibodies prior to contacting cells with the antibodies, e.g., by cross-linking the antibodies in solution. As another alternative, monoclonal antibodies could be

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
156 cross-linked in a solid phase by adsorbing onto the plastic bottom of tissue culture wells or “trapped” on this plastic by means of goat anti-mouse antibody adsorbed to the plastic, followed by plate-based assays to evaluate, e.g., growth arrest or cell viability.
Inversion of phosphatidylserine from the cytosolic side of the cell membrane to the exterior cell surface of that plasma membrane is an accepted indicator of proapoptotic events. Progression to apoptosis leads to loss of cell membrane integrity, which can be detected by entry of a cell-impermeant intercalating dye, e.g., propidium iodide (PI). Following cell exposure to monoclonal antibodies alone or in combination, a dual, pro-apoptotic assay was performed and treated cell populations were scored for cell surface-positive annexin V (ANN) and/or PI inclusion.
Annexin V binding /Propidium iodide internalization analysis
Cells and cell culture conditions. Experiments were performed to examine the effect of cross-linking two different monoclonal antibodies against targets expressed on four human B-cell lines. Effects on cell lines were measured by determining levels of ANN and/or PI staining following exposure. The human B cell lines BJAB, Ramos (ATCC//CRL-1596), Daudi (ATCC#CCL-213), and DHL-4 (DSM2#ACC495) were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Iscoves (Gibco) complete medium with 10% FBS. Cells were maintained at a density between 2-8 x 105 cells/ml and a viability typically >95% prior to study.
Experiments were conducted at a cell density of 2 x 105 cells/ml and 2 pg/ml of each comparative monoclonal antibody from a matrix against B-cell antigens.
Each comparator monoclonal antibody was added at 2 pg/ml alone or individually when combined with each matrix monoclonal antibody, also at 2 gg/ml. Table 6 lists the catalog number and sources of monoclonal antibodies used in these experiments. For cross-linking these monoclonal antibodies in solution, goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson Labs catalog no. 115-001-008) was added to each well at a concentration ratio of 2:1 (goat anti-mouse: each monoclonal antibody), e.g., a well with only one monoclonal antibody at 2 pg/ml would have goat anti-mouse added to a final concentration of 4 pg/ml, while wells with both comparator monoclonal antibody (2 pg/ml) and a monoclonal antibody from the matrix (2 pg/ml) would have 8 pg/ml of goat anti-mouse antibody added to the well.

After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2, cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide using the BD Pharmingen Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit I (#556547). Briefly, cells were washed twice with cold PBS and resuspended in “binding buffer” at 1 x 106 cells/ml. One hundred microliters of the cells in binding buffer were then stained with 5 μΐ of Annexin V-FITC and 5 μΐ of propidium iodide. The cells were gently mixed and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 minutes. Four hundred micro liters of binding buffer were then added to each sample. The samples were then read on a FACsCalibur (Becton Dickinson) and analyzed using Cell Quest software (Becton Dickinson).

Table 6. Antibodies against B cell antigens used in this study and their sources.
Addition of the cross-linking antibody (e.g., goat anti-mouse antibody) to 15 monoclonal antibody A alone resulted in increased cell sensitivity, suggesting that a multivalent binding molecule, or scorpion, constructed with two binding domains recognizing the same antigen would be effective at increasing cell sensitivity.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, this increased sensitivity could be due to antigen clustering and altered signaling. TNF receptor family members, for example, require homo-multimerization for signal transduction and scorpions with equivalent binding domains on each end of the molecule could facilitate this interaction. The

158 clustering and subsequent signaling by CD40 is an example of this phenomenon in the B cell system.
As shown in Figures 20,21 and 22, the addition of monoclonal antibody A and monoclonal antibody B against different antigens will produce additive or in some combinations greater than additive (i.e., synergistic) pro-apoptotic effects on treated cells. In Figure 20, for example, the combination of anti-CD20 with monoclonal antibodies against other B cell antigens all resulted, to varying extents, in increased cell sensitivity. Some combinations, such as anti-CD20 combined with anti-CD 19 or anti-CD20 combined with anti-CD21, however, produced greater than additive pro-apoptotic effects, indicating that multivalent binding molecules or scorpions composed of these binding domains should be particularly effective at eliminating transformed B cells. Referring to Figure 20, the percentage of cells exhibiting pro-apoptotic activities when exposed to anti-CD 20 antibody alone is about 33% (vertically striped bar corresponding to “20,” i.e., the anti-CD20 antibody);
the percentage of pro-apoptotic cells upon exposure to anti-CD 19 antibody is about 12% (vertically striped bar in Fig. 20 corresponding to “19,” i.e., the anti-CD19 antibody); and the percentage of pro-apoptotic cells upon exposure to both anti-CD20 and anti-CD 19 antibodies is about 73% (horizontally striped bar in Fig. 20 corresponding to “19”). The 73% of pro-apoptotic cells following exposure to both antibodies is significantly greater than the 45% (33% + 12%) sum of the effects attributable to each individual antibody, indicating a synergistic effect attributable to the anti-CD 19 and anti-CD 20 antibody pair. Useful multivalent binding molecules include molecules in which the two binding domains lead to an additive effect on Bcell behavior as well as multivalent binding molecules in which the two binding domains lead to synergistic effects on B-cell behavior. In some embodiments, one binding domain will have no detectable effect on the measured parameter of cell behavior, with each of the paired binding domains contributing to distinct aspects of the activities of the multivalent binding molecule, such as a multispecific, multivalent binding molecule (e.g., binding domain A binds to a target cell and promotes apoptosis while binding domain B binds to a soluble therapeutic such as a cytotoxin). Depending on the design of a multivalent binding molecule, the issue of the type of combined effect (additive, synergistic, or inhibitory) of the two binding domains on a target cell may not be relevant because one of the binding domains is specific for a

Exemplary binding domain pairings producing additive, synergistic or inhibitory effects, as shown in Figures 20-23, are apparent from Tables 7 and 8.
Table 7 provides quantitative data extracted from each of Figures 20-23 in terms of the percentage of cells staining positive for ANN and/or PI.

“A” means an “additive” effect was observed “S” means a “synergistic” effect was observed “1” means an “inhibitory” effect was observed ^Equation schematic: A+B=C, where “A” is the percent ANN and/or PI positive cells due to matrix antibody alone, “B” is the percent ANN and/or PI positive cells due to the common antibody (anti-CD20 for Fig. 20, anti-CD79b for Fig. 21, anti-CLII for Fig. 22, and anti-CD22 for Fig. 23), and “C” is the expected additive effect. (See Table 7, above, for the quantitative data corresponding to Figures 20-23.) Where two equations are present in a cell, the upper equation reflects results use of the higher indicated concentration of common antibody; the lower equation reflects use of the lower indicated concentration of common antibody.
In some embodiments, the two binding domains interact in an inhibitory, additive or synergistic manner in sensitizing (or de-sensitizing) a target cell such as a B cell. Figure 23 shows the protective, or inhibitory, effects resulting from combining anti-CD22 antibody with strongly pro-apoptotic monoclonal antibodies such as the anti-CD79b antibody or anti-MHC class II (i.e., anti-CL II) antibody. For example, Figure 23 and Table 7 show that anti-CD22 antibody alone induces no more than about 10% of cells to exhibit pro-apoptotic behavior (solid bar corresponding to “22” in Fig. 23) and anti-CD79b induces about 26% pro-apoptotic cells (solid bar corresponding to “CD79b” in Fig. 23). In combination, however, anti-CD22 and antiCD79b induce only about 16% pro-apoptotic cells (slant-striped bar corresponding to “79b” in Fig. 23). Thus, the combined antibodies induce 16% pro-apoptotic cells, which is less than the 38% sum of the individual effects attributable to anti-CD22 (12%) and anti-CD79b (26%). Using this approach, an inspection of Figure 23 and/or Tables 7-8 reveals that anti-CD22 antibody, and by extension a multispecific, multivalent binding molecule comprising an anti-CD22 binding domain, when used in separate combination with each of the following antibodies (or corresponding binding domains): anti-CD19, anti-CD20, anti-CD21, anti-CD23, anti-CD30, anti-CD37, antiCD40, anti-CD70, anti-CD72, anti-CD79a, anti-CD79b, anti-CD80, anti-CD81, antiCD86 and anti-MHC class II antibodies/binding domains, will result in an inhibited overall effect.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, the data can be interpreted as indicating that anti-CD22 antibody, or a multispecific, multivalent binding molecule comprising an anti-CD22 binding domain, will protect against, or mitigate an effect of, any of the antibodies listed immediately above. More generally, a multispecific, multivalent binding molecule comprising an anti-CD22 binding domain will inhibit the effect arising from interaction with any of CD19, CD20, CD21, CD23, CD30, CD37, CD40, CD70, CD72, CD 79a, CD79b, CD80, CD81, CD86, and MHC class II molecules. It can be seen in Figure 23 and Table 8 that anti-CD22 antibody, and by extension a binding domain comprising an anti-CD22 binding domain, will function as an inhibitor or mitigator of the activity of any antibody/binding domain recognizing a B-cell surface marker such as a CD antigen. Multivalent binding molecules, including multispecific, multivalent binding molecules, are expected to be useful in refining treatment regimens for a variety of diseases wherein the activity of a binding domain needs to be attenuated or controlled.
In addition to the inhibitory, additive or synergistic combined effect of two binding domains interacting with a target cell, typically through the binding of cellsurface ligands, the experimental results disclosed herein establish that a given pair of binding domains may provide a different type of combined effect depending on the relative concentrations of the two binding domains, thereby increasing the versatility of the invention. For example, Table 8 discloses that anti-CD21 and anti-CD79b interact in an inhibitory manner at the higher tested concentration of anti-CD79b, but these two antibodies interact in a synergistic manner at the lower tested concentration of anti-CD79b. Although some embodiments will use a single type of multivalent binding molecule, i.e., a monospecific, multivalent binding molecule, comprising,
e.g., a single CD21 binding domain and a single CD79b binding domain, the invention comprehends mixtures of multivalent binding molecules that will allow adjustments of relative binding domain concentrations to achieve a desired effect, such as an inhibitory, additive or synergistic effect. Moreover, the methods of the invention encompass use of a single multivalent binding molecule in combination with another binding molecule, such as a conventional antibody molecule, to adjust or optimize the relative concentrations of binding domains. Those of skill in the art will be able to determine useful relative concentrations of binding domains using standard
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
164 techniques (e.g., by designing experimental matrices of two dilution series, one for each binding domain).
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is recognized that the binding of one ligand may induce or modulate the surface appearance of a second ligand on the same cell type, or it may alter the surface context of the second ligand so as to alter its sensitivity to binding by a specific binding molecule such as an antibody or a multivalent binding molecule.
Although exemplified herein using B cell lines and antigens, these methods to determine optimally effective multivalent binding molecules (i.e., scorpions) are applicable to other disease settings and target cell populations, including other normal cells, their aberrant cell counterparts including chronically stimulated hematopoietic cells, carcinoma cells and infected cells.
Other signaling phenotypes such as Ca2+mobilization; tyrosine phosphoregulation; caspase activation; NF-κΒ activation; cytokine, growth factor or chemokine elaboration; or gene expression (e.g., in reporter systems) are also amenable to use in methods of screening for the direct effects of monoclonal antibody combinations.
As an alternative to using a secondary antibody to cross-link the primary antibodies and mimic the multivalent binding molecule or scorpion structure, other molecules that bind the Fc portion of antibodies, including soluble Fc receptors, protein A, complement components including Clq, mannose binding lectin, beads or matrices containing reactive or cross-linking agents, bifunctional chemical crosslinking agents, and adsorption to plastic, could be used to cross-link multiple monoclonal antibodies against the same or different antigens.

Multivalent Binding Protein with Effector Function, or Scorpion, Structures
The general schematic structure of a scorpion polypeptide is H2N-binding domain 1-scorpion linker-constant sub-region-binding domain 2. scorpions may also have a hinge-like region, typically a peptide region derived from an antibody hinge, disposed N-terminal to binding domain 1. In some scorpion embodiments, binding

165
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 domain 1 and binding domain 2 are each derived from an immunoglobulin binding domain, e.g., derived from a Vl and a Vh- The Vl and a Vh are typically joined by a linker. Experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that scorpion polypeptides may have binding domains that differ from an immunoglobulin binding domain, including an Ig binding domain from which the scorpion binding domain was derived, by amino acid sequence differences that result in a sequence divergence of typically less than 5%, and preferably less than 1%, relative to the source Ig binding domain.
Frequently, the sequence differences result in single amino acid changes, such as substitutions. A preferred location for such amino acid changes is in one or more regions of a scorpion binding domain that correspond, or exhibit at least 80% and preferably 85% or 90%, sequence identity to an Ig complementarity determining region (CDR) of an I g binding domain from which the scorpion binding domain was derived. Further guidance is provided by comparing models of peptides binding the same target, such as CD20. With respect to CD20, epitope mapping has revealed that the 2H7 antibody, which binds CD20, recognizes the Ala-Asn-Pro-Ser (ANPS) motif of CD20 and it is expected that CD20-binding scorpions will also recognize this motif. Amino acid sequence changes that result in the ANPS motif being deeply embedded in a pocket formed of scorpion binding domain regions corresponding to Ig CDRs are expected to be functional binders of CD20. Modeling studies have also revealed that scorpion regions corresponding to CDR3 (Vl), CDR1 -3 (Vh) contact CD20 and changes that maintain or facilitate these contacts are expected to yield scorpions that bind CD20.
In addition to facilitating interaction of a scorpion with its target, changes to the sequences of scorpion binding domains (relative to cognate Ig binding domain sequences) that promote interaction between scorpion binding domain regions that correspond to Ig Vl and Vh domains are contemplated. For example, in a CD20binding scorpion region corresponding to Vl, the sequence SYIV may be changed by substituting an amino acid for Val (V33), such as His, resulting in the sequence SYIH. This change is expected to improve interaction between scorpion regions corresponding to Vl and Vh domains. Further, it is expected that the addition of a residue at the N-terminus of a scorpion region corresponding to Vh-CDR3 will alter the orientation of that scorpion region, likely affecting its binding characteristics,
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/0710S2
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
166 because the N-terminal Ser of Vh-CDR3 makes contact with CD20. Routine assays will reveal those orientations that produce desirable changes in binding characteristics. It is also contemplated that mutations in scorpion regions corresponding to Vh-CDR2 and/or Vh-CDR3 will create potential new contacts with a target, such as CD20. For example, based on modeling studies, it is expected that substitutions of either Y105 and W106 (found in the sequence NSYW) in a region corresponding to Vh-CDR3 will alter the binding characteristics of a scorpion in a manner amenable to routine assay for identifying scorpions with modified binding characteristics. By way of additional example, it is expected that an alteration in the sequence of a scorpion binding domain corresponding to an Ig VL-CDR3, such as the Trp (W) in the sequence CQQW, will affect binding. Typically, alterations in a scorpion region corresponding to an Ig CDR will be screened for those scorpions exhibiting an increase in affinity for the target.
Based on the model structure of the humanized CD20 scFv binding domain
20-4, on the published information relating to the CD20 extracellular loop structure (Du, et ah, J Biol. Chem, 282(20):15073-80 (2007)), and on the CD20 binding epitope recognized by the mouse 2H7 antibody (which was the source of CDRs for the humanized 20-4 scFv binding domain), mutations were engineered in the CDR regions of the 2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4 scorpion with the aim of improving the affinity of its binding to CD20. First, the mutations were design to influence the 20-4 CDR conformation and to promote more efficient binding to the CD20 extracellular loop. Second, the introduced changes were designed to provide new intermolecular interactions between the 2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4 scorpion and its target. These mutations include: VL CDR1 V33H i.e., a substitution of His for Val at position 33 of CDR1 in the VL region), VL CDR3 W90Y, VH CDR2 D57E, VH CDR3 insertion of V after residue S99, VH CDR3 Y101K, VH CDR3 N103G, VH CDR3 N104G, and VH CDR3 Y105D. Due to expected synergistic effects of combining some of theses mutations, 11 mutants were designed, combining different mutations as shown in Table 9 (residues introduced by mutation are bolded and underscored).

Mutations were introduced into binding domains of the CD20xCD20 scorpion (2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4) by PCR mutagenesis using primers encoding the altered sequence region. After sequence confirmation, DNA fragments encoding the 2Lm205 4 scFv fragments with corresponding mutations were cloned into a conventional expression vector containing a coding region for the constant sub-region of a scorpion, resulting in a polynucleotide containing the complete DNA sequence of new versions of the 2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4 scorpion. The variants of the 2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4 scorpion with CDR mutations were produced by expression in a transient COS cell system and purified through Protein A and size-exclusion (SEC) chromatography.
The binding properties of 2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4 scorpion variants were evaluated by FACS analysis using primary B-cells and the WIL2-S B-lymphoma cell line.
Other mutants have also been generated using a similar approach to optimize CD20 binding domains. The CD20 SMIP designated TRU015 served as a substrate for generating mutants and, unless noted to the contrary, all domains were human domains. The following mutants were found to contain useful and functional CD20

168 binding domains. The 018008 molecule contained a substitution of Q (single-letter amino acid code) for S at position 27 of CDR1 in VL, a substitution of S for T at position 28 in CDR1 of VH and a substitution of L for V at position 102 in CDR3 of VH. The following partial scorpion linker sequences, corresponding to the CCCP sequence in an IgG 1 hinge, were separately combined with the mutated VL and VH: CSCS, SCCS and SCCP, consistent with the modular design of scorpions. The 018009 molecule contained a substitution of Q for S at position 27 of CDR1 of VL, a substitution of S for T at position 28 of CDR1 of VH and substitutions of S for V at position 96, L for V at position 102 and deletion of the V at position 95, all in CDR3 of VH. The same scorpion linkers sub-sequences described above as being found in the scorpion linkers used in 018008 were used in 018009. The 018010 molecule contained substitutions of a Q for S at position 27, an I for M at position 33 and a V for H at position 34, all in CDR1 of VL, along with an S for T substitution at position 28 of CDR1 of VH and an L for V substitution at position 102 in CDR3 of VH.
Scorpion linkers defined by the CSCS and SCCS sub-sequences were used with
018010. 018011 contained the same mutations in CDR1 of VL and in CDR1 of VH as described for 018010, along with deletion of V at position 95, substitution of S for V at position 96 and substitution of L for V at postion 102, all in CDR3 of VH. Scorpion linkers defined by the CSCS, SCCS and SCCP sub-sequences were used in
018011 molecules. The 018014 VL was an unmutated mouse VL, with a human VH containing the S for T change at 28 in CDR1 and the L for V change at 102 in CDR3. 018015 also contained an unmutated mouse VL along with a human VH containing an S for T change at 28 of CDR1 and, in CDR3, a deletion of V at 95, substitution of S for V at 96, and substitution of L for V at 102, The 2Lm5 molecule had a Q for S at

Scorpion linkers defined by the CSCS, SCCS and SCCP were separately used in each of 018014 and 018015. 2Lm5-l was the same as 2Lm5 except 2Lm5-l had no mutations in CDR1 of VH, and only a scorpion linker defined by the CSSS sub30 sequence was used. 2Lm6-l had the mutations of 2Lm5 and a substitution of T for S at 92 and S for F at 93 in CDR3 of VL, and only the scorpion linker defined by the CSSS sub-sequence was used. The only mutations in 2Lml6 were the mutations in CDR3 of VH listed above for 2Lm5-l. Scorpion linkers defined by the sub-sequences CSCS, SCCS, and SCCP were separately used in 2Lml6. 2Lml6-l substituted Q for

S at 27 in CDR1 of VL and substituted T for S at 92, and S for F at 93, both in CDR3 of VL, and, in CDR3 of VH, deleted V at 95, substituted S for V at 96 and substituted L for V at 102; only the scorpion linker defined by the CSSS sub-sequence was used. 2Lml9-3 substituted Q for S at 27,1 for M at 33, and V for H at 34, all in CDR1 of
VL, along with the mutations in CDR3 of VH listed for 2Lml6-l. Scorpion linkers defined by the sub-sequences CSCS, SCCS, and SCCP were separately used in 2Lml9-3. The 2Lm20-4 molecule contained an I for M at 33 and a V for H at 34, both in CDR1 of VL, along with the mutations in CDR3 of VH listed for 2Lml6-l. For 2Lm5-l, 2Lm6-l, 2Lml6,2Lml6-l, 2Lml9-3, and 2Lm20-4, there also was an S for L substitution at position 11 in the framework region of VH. Scorpion linkers defined by the CSCS, SCCS and SCCP sub-sequences were separately used in 2Lm20-4. Finally, the substitution of S for P at position 331 was present in the following mutants: 018008 with the scorpion linker defined by CSCS, 018009 with each of scorpion linkers defined by CSCS and SCCP, 018010 with the scorpion linker defined by CSCS, 018011 with the scorpion linker defined by SCCP, 018014 with the scorpion linker defined by CSCS, 018015 with the scorpion linker defined by CSCS, 2Lml6 with scorpion linkers defined by any of CSCS, SCCS, and SCCP, 2Lml9-3 with a scorpion linker defined by CSCS or SCCP, and 2Lm20-4 with a scorpion linker defined by CSCS or SCCP.
In addition, changes in the length of a linker joining two regions of a binding domain, such as regions of a scorpion binding domain that correspond to an Ig Vl and Vh, are contemplated. For example, removal of a C-terminal Asp in interdomain linkers where it is found is expected to affect the binding characteristics of a scorpion, as is a substitution of Gly for Asp.
Also contemplated are scorpions that have a scorpion linker (interposed Cterminal to the constant sub-region and N-terminal to binding domain 2) that is lengthened relative to a hinge region of an Ig, with amino acid residues being added C-terminal to any cysteine in the scorpion that corresponds to an Ig hinge cysteine, with the scorpion cysteine being capable of forming an interchain disulfide bond.
Scorpions containing these features have been constructed and are characterized below.

Efforts were undertaken to improve the expression, stability and therapeutic potency of scorpions through the optimization of the scorpion linker covalently joining the constant sub-region and the C-terminally disposed binding domain 2. The prototypical scorpion used for optimization studies contained an anti-CD20 scFV (binding domain 1) fused N-terminal to the constant sub-region derived from IgGl Ch2 and Ch3, with a second anti-CD20 scFv fused C-terminal to that constant subregion. This scorpion, like immunoglobulin molecules, is expected to associate through the constant region (or sub-region) to form a homodimeric complex with peptide chains linked by disulfide bonds. To obtain high level of expression of a stable, tetravalent molecule with high affinity for its CD20 target, the scorpion linker between the constant sub-region and the second binding domain must accommodate the following considerations. First, steric hindrance between the homologous binding domains carried by the two scFv fragments (one scFv fragment on each of two scorpion monomers) should be minimized to facilitate maintenance of the native conformations of each binding domain. Second, the configurations and orientations of binding domains should allow productive association of domains and high-affinity binding of each binding domain to its target. Third, the scorpion linker itself should be relatively protease-resistant and non-immunogenic.
In the exemplary CD20xCD20 scorpion construct SOI 29, the C-terminus of
Ch3 and the second anti-CD20 scFV domain were linked by the 2H7 scorpion linker, a peptide derived from, and corresponding to, a fragment of a natural human hinge sequence of IgGl. The 2H7 scorpion linker served as a base for design efforts using computer-assisted modeling that were aimed at improving the expression of scorpions and improving the binding characteristics of the expressed molecules,
To analyze the 2H7 scorpion linker, the 3-dimensional structure of a dimeric form of the human IgGl hinge was modeled using Insight II software. The crystal structure of anti-CD20 scFV in the Vh-Vl orientation was chosen as a reference structure for the 20-4 binding domains (RCSB Protein Data Bank entry code: 1A14). In intact IgGl, the hinge connects the C-terminus of theCm domain to the N-terminus of the Ch2 domain, with the configuration of each domain being such that hinge cysteine residues can pair to form a homodimer. In the exemplary scorpion molecule, the hinge-derived 2H7 linker connected the C-terminal end of the scorpion domain

2016231617 23 Sep 2016
171 derived from the IgG 1 Ch3 domain to the N-terminal end of that portion of scorpion binding domain 2 derived from an IgGl Vh2 domain. Using a 3-D modeled structure of the Vh-Vl scFV, expectations of the optimal distance between the C-terminal ends of the 2H7 linkers was influenced by three considerations. First, hinge stability must be maintained, and stability is aided by dimerization, e.g., homodimerization, which means that the hinge cysteines must be able to pair in the presence of the two folded binding domains. Second, two binding domains, e.g., scFVs, must accommodate the 2H7 linker C-termini without steric interference in order to allow for proper protein folding. Third, the CDRs of each binding domain should be able to face the same direction, as in a native antibody, because each binding domain of the prototypical scorpion can bind adjacent receptors (CD20) on the same cell surface. Given these considerations, the distance between the two N-terminal ends of scFvs is expected to be approximately 28A. The distance between the C-terminal ends of the theoretically designed 2H7 linkers in dimeric scorpion forms is expected to be about 16A. To accommodate the distances expected to be needed for optimizing the performance of a scorpion, the C-terminus of the 2H7 linker was extended by at least 3 amino acids. Such an extension is expected to allow for the formation of disulfide bonds between 2H7 linker cysteine residues, to allow for proper folding of the C-terminal binding domain 2, and to facilitate a correct orientation of the CDRs. In addition, in intact
IgGl, due to the presence of the Chi and Vli domains between the hinge and binding domains, the distance between the binding domains carried by the two chains is further increased and is expected to further favor the cross-linking of adjacent receptors on the same cell surface. In view of the considerations described above, a set of linkers with different lengths was designed (Table 10). To minimize immunogenicity, natural residues present at the N-terminal end of the Ch2 domain (Ala-Pro-Glu-Leu or APEL) were used to lengthen the 2H7 scorpion linker by sequence addition to the C-terminus of the scorpion linker. The longer constructs contained one or multiple (Gly4Ser) linker units known to be protease-resistant and flexible.
The CD20xCD20 scorpion constructs containing extended scorpion linkers between the Ch3 domain of the constant sub-region and the C-terminal scFv binding domain were constructed using PCR mutagenesis and subcloned into a conventional mammalian expression vector.

Glycosylated scorpions are also contemplated and, in this context, it is contemplated that host cells expressing a scorpion may be cultured in the presence of a carbohydrate modifier, which is defined herein as a small organic compound, preferably of molecular weight less than 1000 daltons, that inhibits the activity of an enzyme involved in the addition, removal, or modification of sugars that are part of a carbohydrate attached to a polypeptide, such as occurs during N-linked carbohydrate maturation of a protein. Glycosylation is a complex process that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (“core glycosylation”) and in the Golgi bodies (“terminal glycosylation”). A variety of glycosidase and/or mannosidase inhibitors provide one or more of desired effects of increasing ADCC activity, increasing Fc receptor binding, and altering glycosylation pattern. Exemplary inhibitors include, but are not

Example 13
Scorpion protein expression levels and characterization
Scorpion protein expression levels were determined and the expressed proteins were characterized to demonstrate that the protein design led to products having practical benefits. A monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion and a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion were expressed in CHO DG44 cells in culture using conventional techniques.
Basal level, stable expression of the CD20xCD20 scorpion SO 129 (21m204x21m20-4) in CHO DG44 cells cultured in the presence of various feed supplements was observed as shown in Fig. 34. All culture media contained 50 nM methotrexate, a concentration that maintained copy number of the scorpion-encoding polynucleotide. The polynucleotide contained a coding region for the scorpion protein that was not codon-optimized for expression in CHO DG44 cells. The polynucleotide was introduced into cells using the pDl 8 vector Apparent from Fig. 34, expression levels of about 7-46 μg/ml were obtained.
Expression levels following amplification of the polynucleotide encoding a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion were also determined. The pD18 vector was used to clone the CD20xCD37 scorpion coding region and the plasmid was introduced into CHO DG44 cells. Amplification of the encoding polynucleotide was achieved using the t/A/r-methotrexate technique known in the art, where increasing concentrations of MTX are used to select for increased copy number of the Dihydrofolate Reductase gene (dhfr), which leads to co-amplification of the tightly linked polynucleotide of interest. Fig. 35 shows that stable expression levels of about 22-118 pg/ml of the bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion were typically observed. Variability in yield was seen under different conditions, including methotrexate concentration used for amplification, but these variables are amenable to optimization by those of skill in the art. A variety of other scorpion molecules described herein were also subjected to expression analyses in CHO and/or COS cells, with the results provided in Table 11, below. These results demonstrate that significant yields of scorpion proteins can be

WO 2007/146968 PCT/US2007/071052
174 obtained using conventional techniques and routine optimization of the amplification technique.
Expressed proteins were also characterized by SDS-PAGE analysis to assess the degrees of homogeneity and integrity of the expressed proteins and to confirm molecular weight of monomeric peptides. The denaturing polyacrylamide gels (420% Tris Glycine) were run under reducing and non-reducing conditions. The results presented in Fig. 36 reveal single protein bands for each of a 2Lm20-4 SCC SMIP and SI 000 (CD20(21m20-4)xCD20(21m20-4) monospecific scorpion- SO 126) of the expected monomeric molecular weights under reducing conditions. These data establish that SMIPs and scorpions are amenable to purification in an intact form. Under non-reducing conditions, a trace amount of a peptide consistent with the expected size of a monomeric SMIP was seen, with the vast majority of the protein appearing in a single well-defined band consistent with a dimeric structure. Under these non-reducing conditions, the monospecific scorpion protein showed a single well-defined band of a molecular weight consistent with a dimeric structure. The dimeric structures for both the SMIP and the scorpion are consistent with their monomeric structures, each of which contains a hinge-like scorpion linker containing at least one Cysteine capable of participating in disulfide bond formation.
The effect of scorpion linkers on the expression and integrity of scorpions was also assessed, and results are shown in Table 12, This table lists scorpion linker variants of the monospecific CD20xCD20 (2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4) SOI 29 scorpion and the CD20xCD28 S0033 scorpion (2H7sccpIgGl-H7-2el2), their integrity as single chain molecules, and their transient expression levels in COS cells relative to the parent scorpion SO 129 or S0033, as appropriate, with an H7 linker (set as 100%).
Table 13 provides data resulting from an evaluation of scorpion linker variants incorporated into the CD20xCD20 scorpion, along with analogous data for the CD20xCD28 scorpion. Table 13 provides data resulting from an evaluation of S0129 variants containing scorpion linkers that are not hinge-like linkers containing at least one Cysteine capable of disulfide bond formation; rather, the scorpion linkers in these molecules are derived from Type II C-lectin stalks. Apparent from the data presented in Table 13 is that hinge-like scorpion linkers may be associated with scorpions expressed at higher or lower levels than an unmodified parent scorpion linker in

175
2016231617 23 Sep 2016 transient expression assays. Further, some of the linker variants exhibit greater resistance to proteolytic cleavage than the unmodified parent linker, a concern for all or almost all expressed proteins. The data of Table 13 show that non-hinge-like linkers such as linkers derived from the stalk region of Type II C-Iectins are found in scorpions that exhibit binding characteristics that vary slightly from scorpions containing hinge-like scorpion linkers. Additionally, the scorpion containing a nonhinge-like scorpion linker exhibits effector function (ADCC) that either equals or exceeds the ADCC associated with scorpions having hinge-like scorpion linkers.

As noted in the preceding example, production by expression of scorpions in cultures containing a carbohydrate modifier is contemplated. In exemplary embodiments, castanospermine (MW 189.21) is added to the culture medium to a final concentration of about 200 μΜ (corresponding to about 37.8 pg/mL), or concentration ranges greater than about 10,20, 30,40, 50, 60, 70, 80,90, 100, 110, 120,130, 140, or 150 μΜ, and up to about 300, 275, 250, 225,200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 60, or 50 pg/mL. For example, ranges of 10-50, or 50-200, or 50-300, or 100-300, or 150-250 μΜ are contemplated. In other exemplary embodiments, DMJ, for example DMJ-HC1 (MW 199.6) is added to the culture medium to a final concentration of about 200 μΜ (corresponding to about 32.6 pg DMJ/mL), or

100,75, 60, or 50 pg/mL. For example, ranges of 10-50, or 50-200, or 50-300, or 100-300, or 150-250 μΜ are contemplated. In other exemplary embodiments, kifunensine (MW 232.2) is added to the culture medium to a final concentration of about 10 μΜ (corresponding to about 2.3 μg/mL), or concentration ranges greater than about 0.5,1,2, 3,4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9 or 10 μΜ, and up to about 50,45,40,35, 30,25, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, or 11 μΜ. For example, ranges of 1-10, or 1-25, or 150, or 5-10, or 5-25, or 5-15 μΜ are contemplated.
In one experiment, a monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion (SO 129) was expressed in cells cultured in 200 μΜ castanospermine (SO 129 CS200) or 10 μΜ (excess) kifunensine (S0129 KF 10) and the binding, or staining, of WIL2S cells by the expressed scorpion was measured, as shown in Fig. 42. In comparative binding studies, moreover, a glycosylated SO 129 scorpion bound CD 16 (FCyRIII) approximately three times better than the unglycosylated SO 129 scorpion.
In another study, the ADCC-mediated killing of BJAB B-cells by humanized CD20xCD20 scorpion (S0129) was explored. The results shown in Fig. 43 establish that the scorpion, when expressed in cells being cultured in the presence of either castanospermine or kifunensine, led to significantly more potent ADCC-mediatd
BJAB B-cell death for a given concentration of scorpion exposure.
Example 14
Scorpion binding
a. Domain spacing
Bispecific scorpions are capable of binding at least two targets simultaneously, 25 utilizing the pairs of binding domains at the N- and C-terminus of the molecule. In so doing, for cell-surface targets, the composition can cross-link or cause the physical co-approximation of the targets. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many receptor systems are activated upon such cross-linking, resulting in signal induction causing changes in cellular phenotype. The design of the compositions disclosed herein was intended, in part, to maximize such signaling and to control the resultant phenotype.

Approximate dimensions of domains of the scorpion compositions, as well as expectations of interdomain flexibility in terms of ranges of interdomain angles, are known and were considered in designing the scorpion architecture. For scorpions using scFv binding domains for binding domains 1 and 2 (BD1 and BD2), an IgGl N5 terminal hinge (Hl), and the H7 PIMS linker described herein, the binding domain at the N-terminus and the binding domain at the C-terminus may be maximally about 150-180A apart and minimally about 20-30A apart. Binding domains at the Nterminus may be maximally about 90-100A apart and minimally about 10-20A apart (Deisenhofer, et al., 1976, Hoppe-Seyler’s Z. Physiol. Chem. Bd. 357, S. 435-445;
Gregory, et al., 1987, Mol. Immunol. 24(8):821-9.; Poljak, et al., 1973, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1973, 70: 3305-3310; Bongini, et al., 2004, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 101: 6466-6471; Kienberger, et al., 2004, EMBO Reports, 5: 579 - 583, each incorporated herein by reference). The choice of these dimensions was done in part to allow for receptor-receptor distances of less than about 50A in receptor complexes bound by the scorpion as distances less than this may be optimal for maximal signaling of certain receptor oligomers (Paar, et al., 2002, J. Immunol., 169: 856-864, incorporated herein by reference) while allowing for the incorporation of Fc structures required for effector function.
The binding domains at the N- and C-terminus of scorpions were designed to be flexible structures to facilitate target binding and to allow for a range of geometries of the bound targets. It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that flexibility between the N- or C-terminal binding domains (BD1 and BD2, respectively) and between the binding domains and the Fc domain of the molecule, as well as the maximal and minimal distances between receptors bound by BD1 and/or
BD2, can be modified, for example by choice of N-terminal hinge domain (Hl) and, by structural analogy, the more C-terminally located scorpion linker domain (H2).
For example hinge domains from IgGl, IgG2, lgG3, IgG4, IgE, IgA2, synthetic hinges and the hinge-like Ch2 domain of IgM show different degrees of flexibility, as well as different lengths. Those skilled in the art will understand that the optimal choice of Hl and scorpion linker (H2) will depend upon the receptor system(s) the scorpion is designed to interact with as well as the desired signaling phenotype induced by scorpion binding.

In some embodiments, scorpions have a scorpion linker (H2) that is a hingelike linker corresponding to an Ig hinge, such as an IgGl hinge. These embodiments include scorpions having an amino acid sequence of the scorpion hinge that is an Nterminally extended sequence relative to, e.g., the H7 sequence or the wild-type IgGl hinge sequence. Exemplary scorpion linkers of this type would have the sequence of the H7 hinge N-termanally extended by H2N-APEL(x)y-CO2H, where x is a unit of the Gly4Ser linker and y is a number between 0 and 3. Exemplifying the influence of the scorpion linker on scorpion stability is a study done using two scorpions, a bispecific CD20xCD28 scorpion and a monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion. For each of these two scorpion designs, a variety of scorpion linkers were inserted. In particular, scorpion linkers Hl6 and Hl7, which primarily differ in that Hl7 has the sequence of Hl 6 with the sequence of H7 appended at the C-terminus, and scorpion linkers Hl8 and 19, in which analogously the sequence of H7 is appended at the Cterminus of Hl 8 in generating Hl 9. For each of the two scorpion backbones (20x28 and 20x20), each of the four above-described scorpion linkers were inserted at the appropriate location. Transient expression of these constructs was obtained in COS cells and the scorpion proteins found in the culture supernatants were purified on protein A/G-coated wells (Pierce SEIZE IP kit). Purified proteins were fractionated on SDS-PAGE gels and visualized by silver stain. Inspection of Fig. 44 reveals that the additional H7 sequence in the scorpion linker adds to the stability of each type of scorpion linker and each type of scorpion protein. In other words, appending H7 to the C-terminus of either H16 or H18 added to the stability of the scorpion molecule, and this observation held regardless of whether the scorpion was CD20xCD28 or CD20xCD20. In terms of target binding, the scorpion proteins having the
CD20xCD20 architecture exhibited similar binding properties to the parent monospecific humanized CD20xCD20 scorpion SO 129, as shown in Fig. 45.
Beyond the preceding embodiments, however, it may be desirable to prevent bound receptors from approaching within about 50A of each other to intentionally create submaximal signals (Paar, et al., J. Immunol., 169: 856-864). In such a case, choices of Hl and Scorpion linker (H2) that are shorter and less flexible than those described above would be expected to be appropriate.

The same spacing considerations apply to scorpion linkers that are not hingelike. These scorpion linkers are exemplified by the class of peptides having the amino acid sequence of a stalk region of a C-lectin. Exemplary scorpion hinges comprising a C-lectin stalk region are scorpion hinges derived from the CD72 stalk region, the
CD94 stalk region, and the NKG2A stalk region. Scorpions containing such scorpion hinges were constructed and characterized in terms of expression, susceptibility to cleavage, and amenability to purification. The data are presented in Table 14.

b._ Binding of N- and C-terminal binding domains
Both N- and C-terminal domains participate in target cell binding
The target cell binding abilities of a CD20 SMIP (TRU015), a CD37 SMIP (SMIP016), a combination of CD20 and CD37 SMIPS (TRU015+SMIP016), and the
CD20xCD37 bispecific scorpion (015x016), were assessed by measuring the capacity of each of these molecules to block the binding of an antibody specifically competing for binding to the relevant target, either CD37 or CD20. The competing antibodies were FITC-labeled monoclonal anti-CD37 antibody or PE-labeled monoclonal antiCD20 antibody, as appropriate. Ramos B-cells provided the targets.
Ramos B-cells at 1.2xl07/ml in PBS with 5% mouse sera (#100-113, Gemini
Bio-Products, West Sacramento, CA) (staining media) were added to 96-well Vbottom plates (25 μΐ/well). The various SMIPs and scorpions were diluted to 75
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
182 qg/ml in staining media and 4-fold dilutions were performed to theconcentrations indicated in Fig. 38. The diluted compounds were added to the plated cells in addition to media alone for control wells. The cells were incubated for 10 minutes with the compounds and then FITC anti-CD37 antibody (#186-040, Ancell, Bayport,
MN) at 5 pg/ml and PE anti-CD20 antibody (#555623, BD Pharmingen, San Jose,
CA) at 3 pg/ml (neet) were added together to the wells in 25 μΐ staining media. The cells were incubated on ice in the dark for 45 minutes and then washed 2.5 times with PBS. Cells were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (#19943 1 LT, USB Corp, Cleveland, OH) and then run on a FACs Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).
The data were analyzed with Cell Quest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).
The results shown in Fig. 38 establish that all SMIPs, SMIP combinations and scorpions containing a CD20 binding site successfully competed with PE-labeled antiCD 20 antibody for binding to Ramos B-cells (upper panel); all SMIPs, SMIP combinations and scorpions containing a CD37 binding site successfully competed with FITC-Iabeled anti-CD 37 antibody for binding to Ramos B-cells (lower panel). The bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion, therefore, was shown to have operable N- and C-terminal binding sites for targets on B-cells.
c. Cell-surface persistence
An investigation of the cell-surface persistence of bound SMIPs and scorpions (monospecific and bispecific) on the surface of B-cells revealed that scorpions exhibited greater cell-surface persistence than SMIPs. Ramos B-cells at 6xl06 /ml (3xlO5/well) in staining media (2.5% goat sera, 2.5% mouse sera in PBS) were added to 96-well V-bottom plates. Test reagents were prepared at two-fold the final concentration in staining media by making a 5-fold serial dilution of a 500 nM initial stock and then were added 1:1 to the Ramos B-cells, In addition, media controls were also plated. The cells were incubated in the dark, on ice, for 45 minutes. The plates were then washed 3.5 times with cold PBS. The secondary reagent, FITC goat antihuman IgG (#H 10501, Caltag/Invitrogen, Carlsbad,CA) was then added at a 1:100 dilution in staining media. The cells were incubated for 30 minutes in the dark, on ice. Cells were then washed 2.5 times by centrifugation with cold PBS, fixed with a 1% paraformaldehyde solution (#19943 1 LT ,USB Corp, Cleveland, OH) and then run on a FACs Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), The data were analyzed with

CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Results of the data analysis are presented in Fig. 37, which shows the binding of several SMIPs, a monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion and a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion to their targets on Ramos B cells.
Two tubes of Ramos B-cells (7xl05/ml) were incubated for 30 minutes on ice with each of the two compounds being investigated, i.e., a humanized CD20 (2Lm204) SMIP and a humanized CD20xCD20 (2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4) scorpion, each at 25 μg/ml in Iscoves media with 10% FBS. At the end of the incubation period, both tubes were washed 3 times by centrifugation. One tube of cells was then plated into
96-well flat-bottom plates at 2xl05 cells/well in 150 μΐ of Iscoves media with one plate then going into the 37°C incubator and the other plate incubated on ice. The second tube of each set was resuspended in cold PBS with 2% mouse serum and 1% sodium azide (staining media) and plated into a 96-well V-bottom plate at 2xl05 cells/well for immediate staining with the secondary antibody, i.e., FITC goat anti15 human IgG (#1410501, Caltag/Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The secondary antibody was added at a 1:100 final dilution in staining media and the cells were stained on ice, in the dark, for 30 minutes. Cells were then washed 2.5 times with cold PBS, and fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (#19943 1 LT, USB Corp, Cleveland, OH).
At the time points designated in Fig, 39, samples were harvested from the 9620 well flat-bottom plates, incubated at either 37°C or on ice, and placed into 96-well Vbottom plates (2x10s cells/well). The cells were washed once with cold staining media, resuspended, and the secondary antibody was added at a final dilution of 1:100 in staining media. These cells were incubated on ice, in the dark, for 30 minutes. The cells were then washed 2.5 times by centrifugation in cold PBS, and subsequently fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde. The samples were run on a FACS Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and the data was analyzed with CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Results presented in Fig. 39 demonstrate that the binding of a SMIP and a scorpion to the surface of B-cells persists for at least six hours, with the monospecific hu CD20xCD20 (2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4) scorpion persisting to a greater extent than the hu CD20 (2Lm20-4) SMIP.

Direct cell killing by monospecific and bispecfic scorpions
Experiments were conducted to assess the capacity of monospecific and bispecific scorpion molecules to directly kill lymphoma cells, i.e., to kill these cells without involvement of ADCC or CDC. In particular, the Su-DHL-6 and DoHH2 lymphoma cell lines were separately subjected to a monospecific scorpion, i.e., a CD20xCD20 scorpion or a CD37xCD37 scorpion, or to a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion.
Cultures of Su-DHL-6, DoHH2, Rec-1, and WSU-NHL lymphoma cells were established using conventional techniques and some of these cultures were then individually exposed to a monospecific CD20 SMIP, a monospecific scorpion (CD20xCD20 or CD37xCD37), or a bispecific scorpion (CD20xCD37 or CD19xCD37). The exposure of cells to SMIPs or scorpions was conducted under conditions that did not result in cross-linking. The cells remained in contact with the molecules for 96 hours, after which growth was measured by detection of ATP, as would be known in the art. The cell killing attributable to the CD20 SMIP and the CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpion are apparent in Fig. 24 and Table 15. The cell killing capacity of the CD37xCD37 monospecific scorpion is apparent from Fig. 25 and Table 15, the ability of the CD20xCD37 bispecific scorpion to kill lymphoma cells is apparent from Fig. 26 and Table 15, and the capacity of the CD19xCD37 bispecific scorpion to kill lymphoma cells is evident from Fig. 27 and Table 15. Data were pooled from three independent experiments and points represent the mean ± SEM. ICso values in Table 15 were determined from the curves in Figs. 24,25, and 26, as noted in the legend to Table 15, and are defined as the concentration resulting in 50% inhibition compared to untreated cultures. The data in the figures and table demonstrate that scorpions are greater than 10-fold more potent in killing these cell lines than the free SMIP using the same binding domains.

Additional experiments with the humanized CD20xCD20 scorpion SO 129 were conducted in Su-DHL-4, Su-DHL-6, DoHH2, Rec-1, and WSU-NHL cells. The results are presented in Fig. 46 and Fig. 47. The data provided in these figures extends the findings discussed above in showing that scorpions have the capacity to directly kill a variety of cell lines.
The above findings were extended to other monospecific and bispecific scorpions, with each scorpion demonstrating capacity to directly kill B cells. DoHH2 B-cells were exposed in vitro to the monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion, a

186 monospecific CD37xCD37 scorpion, or a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion. The results presented in Fig. 48 demonstrate that bispecific scorpions have kill curves that are different in form from monospecific scorpions.
Culturing Su-DHL-6 cells in the presence of 70 nM CD20xCD20 scorpion 5 (SO 129), CD20xCD37 scorpion, or CD37xCD37 scorpion also led to direct B-cell killing in an in vitro environment (Fig. 49). Consistently, Su-DHL-6 cells exposed to either a bispecific CD19xCD37 scorpion or to Rituxan® led to direct cell killing, with the bispecific scorpion exhibiting lethality at lower doses, as revealed in Fig. 50.
Another demonstration of direct cell killing was provided by exposing DHL-4 cells to four independent monospecific scorpions recognizing CD20. Two versions of CD20xCD20 scorpion were designed to incorporate two 20-4 binding domains (204x20-4 and SO 129) and the second two incorporate a hybrid of the 011 and 20-4 binding domains. All four of the independently constructed and purified versions of the two CD20xCD20 scorpion designs, (20-4x20-4 and SO 129) and hybrid (011x20-4 and 011 x20-4AAsp), efficiently killed the DHL-4 cells in a direct manner. For this study, DHL-4 cells were treated in vitro with 1 pg/ml of the indicated proteins for 24 hours. Cells were then stained with Annexin V and Propidium Iodide, early and late markers of cell death, respectively, and cell populations were quantified by FACS,
The results presented in Fig. 51 establish the direct killing capacity of each of the
CD20xCD20 constructs as evidenced by increased staining shown in black bars. In addition, the results demonstrate that the hybrid 011x20-4 proteins exhibited a slight increase in direct cell killing relative to 20-4x20-4-based scorpions, despite the fact that each of these scorpions monospecifically recognized CD20. In a separate set of experiments, the dose-response of the four independent scorpion constructs was determined by FACS analysis of Annexin V- and Propidium Iodide-stained cell populations. The results, shown in Fig. 52, demonstrate dose-responsive increases in cell death resulting from treatment of the DHL-4 cells with each of the independent scorpion constructs.

Accessory functions mediated by scorpions (ADCC & CDC) a, Scorpion-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
Experiments were conducted to determine whether scorpions would mediate 5 the killing of BJAB B lymphoma cells. BJAB B lymphoma cells were observed to be killed with CD20 and/or CD37 scorpions.
Initially, lxl07/ml BJAB B-cells were labeled with 500 qCi/ml 51Cr sodium chromate (#CJS1, Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ) for 2 hours at 37°C in Iscoves media with 10% FBS. The 51Cr-loaded BJAB B cells were then washed 3 times in RPMI media with 10% FBS and resuspended at 4xlOs/ml in RPMI.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from in-house donors were isolated from heparinized whole blood via centrifugation over Lymphocyte Separation Medium (#50494, MP Biomedicals, Aurora, Oh), washed 2 times with RPMI media and resuspended at 5xl06/ml in RPMI with 10% FBS. Reagent samples were added to
RPMI media with 10% FBS at 4 times the final concentration and three 10-fold serial dilutions for each reagent were prepared. These reagents were then added to 96-well U- bottom plates at 50 μΐ/well to the indicated final concentrations. The 51Cr-labeled BJAB were then added to the plates at 50 μΐ/well (2xl04/well). The PBMC were then added to the plates at 100 μΐ/well (5xl05/well) for a final ratio of 25:1 effectors (PBMC):target (BJAB). Effectors and targets were added to media alone to measure background killing. The 51Cr-labeled BJAB were added to media alone to measure spontaneous release of 51Cr and to media with 5% NP40 (#28324, Pierce, Rockford, Ill) to measure maximal release of 5ICr. The plates were incubated for 6 hours at 37°C in 5%CC>2. Fifty μΐ (25 μΐ would also be suitable) of the supernatant from each well were then transferred to a LumaPlate-96 (#6006633, Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass) and dried overnight at room temperature.
After drying, radioactive emissions were quantitated as cpm on a Packard TopCount-NXT. Sample values were the mean of triplicate samples. Percent specific killing was calculated using the following equation: % Kill = ((sample - spontaneous release)/(maximal release - spontaneous release)) x 100. The plots in Fig. 30 show that BJAB B cells were killed by monospecific scorpions CD20xCD20 and CD37xCD37. The combination of CD20 SMIP and CD37 SMIP also killed BJAB B

188 cells. These results demonstrate that scorpions exhibit scorpion-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and it is expected that this functionality is provided by the constant subregion of the scorpion, providing ADCC activity.
b. Scorpion role in complement-dependent cytotoxicity
Experiments also demonstrated that scorpions have Complement-Dependent
Cytotoxicity (CDC) activity. The experiment involved exposure of Ramos B-cells to CD19 and/or CD37 SMIPs and scorpions, as described below and as shown in Fig.
31.
The experiment was initiated by adding from 5 to 2,5 x 105 Ramos B-cells to 10 wells of 96-well V-bottomed plates in 50 μΐ of Iscoves media (no FBS). The test compounds in Iscoves, (or Iscoves alone) were added to the wells in 50 μΐ at twice the indicated final concentration. The cells and reagents were incubated for 45 minutes at 37°C. The cells were washed 2.5 times in Iscoves with no FBS and resuspended in Iscoves with human serum (# Al 13, Quidel, San Diego, CA) in 96-well plates at the indicated concentrations. The cells were then incubated for 90 minutes at 37°C. The cells were washed by centrifugation and resuspended in 125 μΐ cold PBS. Cells were then transferred to FACs cluster tubes (#4410, CoStar, Coming, NY) and 125 μΐ PBS with propidium iodide (# P-16063, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) at 5 μg/ml was added. The cells were incubated with the propidium iodide for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark and then placed on ice, quantitated, and analyzed on a
FACsCalibur with CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson). The results presented in Fig. 31 establish that the CD19 SMIP, but not the CD37 SMIP, exhibits CDC activity, with a combination of the two SMIPs exhibiting approximately the same level of CDC activity as CD 19 SMIP alone. The CD19xCD37 scorpion, however, exhibited significantly greater CDC activity than either SMIP alone or in combination, establishing that the scorpion architecture provides a greater level of Complementdependent Cytotoxicity than other molecular designs.
c. ADCC/CDC activity of CD20xCD2Q monospecific scorpions
Three distinct CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpions were examined for ADCC and CDC functionality, along with appropriate controls. ADCC was assayed using conventional techniques, and the results are presented in Fig. 53. Apparent from the

Figure is the appreciable, but not identical, ADCC activity associated with each of the tested CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpions.
To assess CDC, Ramos B-cell samples (4x10s) were incubated with each of the CD20xCD20 scorpions (0, 0.5,5, 50 and 500 nM) and serum (10%) for 3.5 hour at 37°C. Cell death was assessed by 7-AAD staining and FACS analysis. The results are presented in Fig. 54, which reveals that the scorpions exhibit some CDC activity. In a similar experiment, Ramos B-cell samples (4x105) were incubated with CD20xCD20 scorpion protein (5, 50, 100 nM) and serum (10%) for 2 hour at 37°C. Cells were washed 2X and incubated with anti-human Clq FITC antibody. Bound
Clq was assessed by FACS analysis and the results are presented in Fig. 55. These results are consistent with the results presented in Fig. 54 that each of the CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpions was associated with some CDC activity, although less activity than was associated with a CD20 SMIP.
d. Interactions of scorpions with FgyRIII
ELISA studies showed that scorpions bound to FcyRIII (CD 16) low (a low affinity isoform or allelotype) at increased levels in the absence of target cells.
ELISA plates were initially coated with either low- or high-affinity CD16mIgG using conventional techniques. The ability of this immobilized fusion protein to capture either a CD20 SMIP or a CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpion was assessed. Bound
SMIPs and scorpions were detected with goat anti-human IgG (HRP) secondary antibody and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was determined. PBS alone (negative control) is shown as a single point. The results are presented in Fig. 32A (capture by CD 16 high affinity isoform fusion) and 32B (capture by CD 16 low affinity iso form fusion). Apparent from a consideration of Figs. 32A and 32B is that both CD20 SMIP and CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpion showed increased binding to both the high- and low-affinity CD 16 isoform fusions, with the CD20xCD20 scorpion showing a dramatic increase in binding to the low affinity isoform fusion with increasing protein concentration.
The binding of scorpions to the FcyRIII isoforms in the presence of target cells was also assessed. The data show the increased binding of scorpions to both FcyRIII (CD 16) low- and high-affinity isoforms or allelotypes in the presence of target cells with increasing protein concentration.

In conducting the experiment, CD20-positive target cells were exposed to CD20 SMIPs or CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpions under conditions that allowed the binding of the SMIP or scorpion to the CD20-positive target cell. Subsequently, the SMIP- or scorpion-bearing target cell was exposed to either CD 16 high- or low5 affinity isoform tagged with mouse IgFc. A labeled goat anti-mouse Fc was then added as a secondary antibody to label the immobilized CD 16 tagged with the mouse IgFc. Cells were then detected using flow cytometry on a FACs Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and analyzed with Cell Quest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). As shown in Fig. 33, increased concentrations of each of the CD20
SMIP and the CD20xCD20 monospecific scorpion led to increased binding to the CD 16 isoforms in the presence of target cells, with the increase in binding of the CD20xCD20 scorpion being more significant than the increased binding seen with the CD20 SMIP.
Example 17
Cell-cycle effects of scorpions on target lymphoma cells
The cell-cycle effects of scorpions were assessed by exposing lymphoma cells to SMIPs, monospecific scorpions and bispecific scorpions. More particularly, DoHH2 lymphoma cells (0,5 x 106) were treated for 24 hours with 0.4 nM rituximab, CD20xCD37 scorpion, TRU-015 (CD20 SMIP) + SMIP-016 combination (0.2 nM each), 100 nM SMIP-016 or 100 nM CD37xCD37 scorpion. These concentrations respresent about 10-fold more than the IC50 value ofthe scorpion in a 96-hour growth inhibition assay (see Figs. 24-27). Cultures were labeled for 20 minutes at 37°C with 10 μΜ BrdU (bromodeoxyuridine). Following fixation, cells were stained with antiBrdU-FITC antibody and counterstained with propidium iodide. Values in Fig. 28 are the mean +/- SD of 4 replicate cultures from 2-3 independent experiments. All sample data were analyzed at the same time and pooled for presentation using both the BrdU and PI incorporation dot plots. Plots demonstrate that a major effect of scorpion treatment is a depletion of cells in S-phase, as well as an increase in the Gq/Gi compartment.

Physiological effects of scorpions
a. Mitochondrial potential
CD20xCD20 scorpions induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in 5 DHL4 B-cells, as revealed in a JC-1 assay. JC-1 is a cationic carbocyanine dye that exhibits potential-dependent accumulation in the mitochondria (Mitoprobe® JC-1 Assay Kit for Flow Cytometry from Molecular Probes). JC-1 is more specific to the mitochondrial membrane than the plasma membrane and is used to determine changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. Accumulation in mitochondria is indicated by a fluorescence shift from green (529nm) to red (590nm).
In conducting the experiment, DHL-4 B-cells (5xl05 cells/ml) were initially cultured in 24-well plates and treated for 24 hours with 1 pg/ml CD20xCD20 scorpion, Rituximab, IgG control antibody, or 5 μΜ staurosporine at 37°C, 5%CO2, in a standard tissue-culture incubator. JC-1 dye (10 μΐ/ml, 2 μΜ final concentration) was added and cells were incubated for another 30 minutes at 37°C. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (5minutes at 1200 rpm), washed with 1ml PBS, and resuspended in 500 μΐ PBS. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur, BD) with 488 nM excitation and 530 nM and 585 nM emission filters. For the representative scatter plots shown in Fig. 56, red fluorescence was measured on the
Y-axis and green fluorescence was measured on the X-axis. Depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane was measured as a decrease in red fluorescence, as seen in the positive control CCCP (carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone), a known mitochondrial membrane potential disrupter. To confirm that JC-1 was responsive to changes in membrane potential, DHL-4 B-cells were treated with two concentrations of CCCP (50μΜ and 250μΜ) for 5 minutes at 37°C, 5%CO2. An additional positive control was cells treated with the broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor staurosporine to induce apoptosis. The results shown in Fig. 56 are dot-plot graphs of 10,000 counts, with red fluorescence plotted on the Y-axis and green fluorescence plotted on the Xaxis. A summary histogram of the percentage of cells with disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential (disrupted MMP: black bars) is shown in Fig 56. These results demonstrate that treatment with either the 20-4x20-4 scorpion or the 011x20-4

192 scorpion generated a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential associated with cell death.
b. Calcium flux
Scorpion molecules were analyzed for influences on cell signaling pathways, using Ca^ mobilization, a common feature of cell signaling, as a measure therefor.
SU-DHL-6 lymphoma cells were labeled with Calcium 4 dye and treated with the test molecules identified below. Cells were read for 20 seconds to determine background fluorescence, and then SMIPs/scorpions were added (first dashed line in Fig. 28) and fluorescence was measured out to 600 seconds. At 600 seconds, an 8-fold excess of cross-linked goat-anti-human F(ab)’2 was added and fluorescence was measured for a further 300 seconds. Panel (A) of Fig. 28 shows the results obtained with a combination of CD20 SMIP and CD37 SMIP (red line); or obtained with a CD20xCD37 bispecific scorpion (black line), compared with unstimulated cells (blue line). In panel B of Fig. 28, the results of treating cells withCD20 SMIP alone (red line) resulted in Ca++ mobilization, but this was not as robust as the signal generated by the monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion (black line). The Ca++ mobilization plots of Fig. 28 represent the fluorescence from triplicate wells treated with equimolar amounts of scorpion and SMIP/SMIP combinations.
c. Caspases 3.7 and 9
The ability of CD20-binding scorpions to directly kill B-cells as evidenced by increased Annexin V and Propidium Iodide staining and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential led to an further investigation of additional apoptosis-related effects of CD20-binding scorpions in B-cells. The approach taken was to perform Apol assays on DHL-4 B-cells exposed to CD20xCD20 scorpions or appropriate controls. The Apol assay is based on a synthetic peptide substrate for caspase 3 and 7. The assay components are available from Promega (Apo-ONE® Homogeneuous Caspase-3/7 Assay). Caspase-mediated cleavage of the labeled peptide Z-DEVDRhodamine 110 releases the fluorescent rhodamine 110 label, which is measured using 485 nm excitation and 530nm detection.
In the experiment, 100 μΐ DHL-4 B-cells (lxl06 cells/ml) were plated in black
96-well flat-bottom tissue culture plates and treated for 24 or 48 hours with 1 μg/ml

CD20xCD20 scorpion, Rituximab, an IgG control antibody, or 5 μΜ staurosporine at 37°C, 5%CO2 in a standard tissue-culture incubator. (Staurosporine is a smallmolecule, broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor that is known in the art as a potent inducer of classical apoptosis in a wide variety of cell types.) After 24 or 48 hours,
100 μΐ of the 100-fold diluted substrate was added to each well, gently mixed for one minute on a plate shaker (300 rpm) and incubated at room temperature for two hours. Fluorescence was measured using 485 nM excitation and 527 nM emission filter (Fluoroskan Ascent FL, Thermo Labsystems). Graphs showing average fluorescent intensity of triplicate treatments plus/minus standard deviation after 24 hours and 48 hours (24 hours only for staurosporine) are presented in Fig. 57. These results establish that CD20-binding scorpions do not directly kill B-cells by an apoptotic pathway involving activation of caspase 3/7.
The results obtained in the Apo-1 assay were confirmed by Western blot analyses designed to detect pro-caspase cleavage resulting in activated caspase or to detect cleavage of PARP (Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase), a protein known to be cleaved by activated caspase 3. DHL-4 B-cells were exposed to a CD 20 binding scorpion or a control for 4,24, or 48 hours and cell lysates were fractionated on SDSPAGE and blotted for Western analyses using conventional techniques. Fig. 58 presents the results in the form of a collection of Western blots. The bottom three
Westerns utilized anti-caspase antibodies to detect shifts in molecular weight of the caspase enzyme, reflecting proteolytic activation. For caspases 3, 7, and 9, there was no evidence of caspase activation by any of the CD20-binding molecules. Staurosporine served as a positive control for the assay, and induced pro-caspase cleavage to active caspase for each of caspases 3,7 and 9. The fourth Western blot shown in Fig. 58 reveals that PARP, a known substrate of activated caspase 3, was not cleaved, consistent with a failure of CD20-binding scorpions to activate caspase 3.
The results of all of these experiments are consistent in showing that caspase 3 activation is not a significant feature of the direct cell killing of DHL-4 B-cells induced by CD20 binding scorpions.
In addition, a time series study was conducted to determine the effect of CD20 binding proteins, including a CD20xCD20 scorpion, on Caspase 3. DoHH2 or SuDHL-6 B-cells were incubated with lOnM CD20 binding protein (SO 129 scorpion,

2Lm20-4 SMIP, or Rituxan®) +/- soluble CD16 Ig (40nM), soluble CD 16 Ig alone, or media. The cells were cultured in complete RPMI with 10% FBS at 3xl05/well/300 μΐ and harvested at 4 hours, 24 hours or 72 hours. The 72-hour time-point samples were plated in 500 μΐ of the test agent. Cells were washed with PBS and then stained for intracellular active caspase-3 using the BD Pharmingen Caspase 3, Active Form, mAB Apoptosis Kit:FITC (cat no.55048, BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA). Briefly, after 2 additional washes in cold PBS, the cells were suspended in cold cytofix/cytoperm solution and incubated on ice for 20 minutes. Cells were then washed by centrifugation, aspirated, and washed two times with Perm/Wash buffer at room temperature. The samples were then stained with 20 μΐ FITC-anti-caspase 3 in 100 μΐ of Perm-Wash buffer at room temperature in the dark for thirty minutes. The samples were then washed two times with Perm-Wash buffer, and resuspended in 500 μΐ of Perm-Wash buffer. Washed cells were then transferred to FACs tubes and run on a FACs Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and analyzed with Cell Quest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). The results are shown in Table 16.

The results of all of these experiments are consistent in showing that there is limited activation of caspase 3 in the absence of CD 16, which does not implicate caspase 3 activation as a significant feature of the direct cell killing induced by CD20 binding scorpions.
d. DNA fragmentation
Induction of classical apoptotic signaling pathways ultimately results in condensation and fragmented degradation of chromosomal DNA. To determine whether CD20-binding scorpions directly killed B-cells through a classical apoptotic mechanism, the state of B-cell chromosomal DNA was examined following exposure of the cells to CD20-binding scorpions, or controls. Initially, DHL-4 B-cells were treated in vitro for 4, 24 or 48 hours with a CD20-binding molecule, i.e., the monospecific CD20xCD20 (2Lm20-4x2Lm20-4) scorpion, the CD20xCD20 (01 lx2Lm20-4) scorpion, or Rituximab, or with a control. Subsequently, cells were lysed and chromosomal DNA was purified using conventional techniques. The chromosomal DNA was then size-fractionated by gel electrophoresis. The gel electrophoretogram shown in Fig. 59 reveals a lack of DNA fragmentation that demonstrated that the cell death generated by CD20-binding scorpions was not mediated by a classical apoptotic pathway. Staurosporine-treated cells were used as positive control in these assays.
e. SYK phosphorylation
SYK is a phospho-regulated protein with several phosphorylation sites that functions as a transcriptional repressor. SYK is localized to the cell nucleus, but is capable of rapid relocation to the membrane upon activation. For activation, SYK must retain its nuclear localization sequence. Activated SYK has a role in suppressing breast cancer tumors and SYK is activated by pro-apoptotic signals such
WO 2007/146968
PCT/US2007/071052
2016231617 23 Sep 2016
196 as ionizing radiation, BCR ligation and MHC class II cross-linking. Further, SYK has been shown to affect the PLC-γ and CaH' pathways. Given these observations, the capacity of CD20-binding scorpions to affect SYK was investigated.
DHL-6 B-cells were exposed to a bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion for 0, 5, 7 5 or 15 hours and the cells were lysed. Lysates were immunoprecipitated with either an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody or with an anti-SYK antibody. Immunoprecipitates were fractionated by gel electrophoresis and the results are shown in Fig. 60.
Apparent from an inspection of Fig. 60 is the failure of the bispecific CD20xCD37 scorpion to induce phosphorylation of SYK, thereby activating it. Consistent with the above-described studies on caspase activation and chromosomal DNA fragmentation, it does not appear that CD20-binding scorpions directly kill B-cells using a classic apoptotic pathway, such as the caspase-dependent pathway. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is expected that the CD20-binding scorpions directly kill B-cells through a caspase-, and SYK-, independent pathway that does not prominently feature chromosomal DNA fragmentation, at least not on the same time frame as fragmentation occurs during caspase-dependent apoptosis.

Scorpion applications
a. In vivo activity of scorpions
The activity of scorpions was also assessed using a mouse model.
Measurements of scorpion activity in vivo involved administration of 10-300 pg scorpion and subsequent time-series determinations of serum concentrations of that scorpion. Results of these studies, presented as serum concentration curves for each of two bispecific scorpions (i.e., S0033, a CD20xCD27 scorpion and a CD20xCD37 scorpion) from three-week pharmacokinetic studies in mice are presented in Fig. 40. The data in Fig. 40 show that it took at least 500 hours after administration before the serum levels of each of the two bispecific scorpions fell back to baseline levels. Thus, scorpions show serum stability and reproducible, sustained circulating half-lives invivo.
The in vivo efficacy of scorpions was also assessed. An aggressive Ramos xenograft model was used in parallel experiments with SMIPs versus historical

197 immunoglobulin controls. The survival curves provided in Fig. 41 reveal that administration of 10 μg bispecific scorpion had negligible influence on survival, but administration of 100-300 μg had significant positive effect on the survival of mice bearing Ramos xenografts,
b. Combination therapies it is contemplated that scorpions will find application in the prevention, treatment or amelioration of a symptom of, a wide variety of conditions affecting man, other mammals and other organisms. For example, CD20-binding scorpions are expected to be useful in treating or preventing a variety of diseases associated with excessive or aberrant B-cells. In fact, any disease amenable to a treatment involving the depletion of B-cells would be amenable to treatment with a CD20-binding scorpion. In addition, scorpions, e.g,, CD20-binding scorpions, may be used in combination therapies with other therapeutics. To illustrate the feasibility of a wide variety of combination therapies, the monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion (SO 129) was administered to Su-DHL-6 B-cells in combination with doxorubicin, vincristine or rapamycin. Doxorubicin is a topoisomerase II poison that interferes with DNA biochemistry and belongs to a class of drugs contemplated for anti-cancer treatment. Rapamycin (Sirolimus) is a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits the initiation of protein synthesis and suppresses the immune system, finding application in organ transplantation and as an anti-proliferative used with coronary stents to inhibit or prevent restenosis. Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid that inhibits tubule formation and has been used to treat cancer.
The experimental results shown in Fig. 61 are presented as Combination Index values for each combination over a range of effect levels. The interactions of the monospecific CD20xCD20 scorpion SO 129 are different for each drug class, while with Rituxan® (RTXN) the plots forms are similar. The effect seen with doxorubicin at high concentrations may reflect a shift towards monovalent binding. The data establish that CD20-binding scorpions may be used in combination with a variety of other therapeutics and such combinations would be apparent to one of skill in the art in view of the present disclosure.
Variations on the structural themes for multivalent binding molecules with effector function, or scorpions, will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon review
