Cell-targeting molecules comprising de-immunized, Shiga toxin a subunit effectors and CD8+ t-cell epitopes

The present invention provides cell-targeting molecules which can deliver a CD8+ T-cell epitope cargo to the MHC class I presentation pathway of a target cell. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention can be used to deliver virtually any CD8+ T-cell epitope from an extracellular space to the MHC class I pathway of a target cell, which may be a malignant cell and/or non-immune cell. The target cell can then display on a cell-surface the delivered CD8+ T-cell epitope complexed with MHC I molecule. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention have uses which include the targeted labeling and/or killing of specific cell-types within a mixture of cell-types, including within a chordate, as well as the stimulation of beneficial immune responses. The cell-targeting molecules of the invention have uses, e.g., in the treatment of a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions, including cancers, tumors, growth abnormalities, immune disorders, and microbial infections.

Shiga toxin a subunit effector polypeptides, Shiga toxin effector scaffolds, and cell-targeting molecules for site-specific conjugation
11389542 · 2022-07-19 · ·

The present invention provides Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptides, scaffolds, and cell-targeting molecules comprising amino acid substitutions which equip the molecules with site-specific positions (and often unique amino acid residues in the molecule) for linking other molecules while retaining Shiga toxin function(s), such as, e.g., efficient intracellular routing and/or potent cytotoxicity. The present invention also provides cell-targeting molecules, and/or components thereof, which comprise site-specific positions for linking other molecules, such as, e.g., agents that alters a property of the cell-targeting molecule or a cargo for delivery. Certain molecules comprising a polypeptide of the present invention exhibit reduced immunogenicity and/or are well-tolerated by mammals. The cell-targeting molecules of the present invention, and compositions thereof, have uses, e.g., for the selective delivery of cargos to target-expressing cells and as diagnostic and/or therapeutic molecules for the treatment of a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions, which include genetic disorders, genetic predispositions, infections, cancers, tumors, growth abnormalities, and/or immune disorders.
