DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(28) The disclosure provides chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising at least one VHH (VCAR). Chimeric antigen receptors of the disclosure may comprise more than one VHH. For example, a bi-specific VCAR may comprise two VHHs that specifically bind two distinct antigens.
(29) VHH proteins of the disclosure specifically bind to an antigen. Chimeric antigen receptors of the disclosure comprising one or more VHHs that specifically bind an antigen may be used to direct the specificity of a cell, (e.g., a cytotoxic immune cell) towards the specific antigen.
(30) The disclosure provides chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) an antigen recognition region comprising a single domain antibody (VCARs). In some embodiments, the single domain antibody is a VHH antibody. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody is a VH antibody.
(31) Chimeric antigen receptors of the disclosure may comprise a signal peptide of human CD2, CD3, CD3, CD3, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD28, 4-1BB or GM-CSFR. A hinge/spacer domain of the disclosure may comprise a hinge/spacer/stalk of human CD8, IgG4, and/or CD4. An intracellular domain or endodomain of the disclosure may comprise an intracellular signaling domain of human CD3 and may further comprise human 4-1BB, CD28, CD40, ICOS, MyD88, OX-40 intracellular segment, or any combination thereof. Exemplary transmembrane domains include, but are not limited to a human CD2, CD3, CD3, CD3, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD28, 4-1BB or GM-CSFR transmembrane domain.
(32) The disclosure provides genetically modified cells, such as T cells, NK cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, peripheral blood (PB) derived T cells (including T cells from G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood), umbilical cord blood (UCB) derived T cells rendered specific for one or more antigens by introducing to these cells a VCAR of the disclosure. Cells of the disclosure may be modified by electrotransfer of a transposon encoding a VCAR of the disclosure and a plasmid comprising a sequence encoding a transposase of the disclosure (preferably, the sequence encoding a transposase of the disclosure is an mRNA sequence).
(33) VHs of the Disclosure
(34) The disclosure provides chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising a single domain antibody (VCARs). In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a VH. In some embodiments, the VH is isolated or derived from a human sequence. In some embodiments, VH comprises a human CDR sequence and/or a human framework sequence and a non-human or humanized sequence (e.g., a rat Fe domain). In some embodiments, the VH is a fully humanized VH. In some embodiments, the VH s neither a naturally occurring antibody nor a fragment of a naturally occurring antibody. In some embodiments, the VH is not a fragment of a monoclonal antibody. In some embodiments, the VH is a UniDab antibody (TeneoBio).
(35) In some embodiments, the VH is fully engineered using the UniRat (TeneoBio) system and NGS-based Discovery to produce the VH. Using this method, the specific VH are not naturally-occurring and are generated using fully engineered systems. The VH are not derived from naturally-occurring monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that were either isolated directly from the host (for example, a mouse, rat or human) or directly from a single clone of cells or cell line (hybridoma). These VHs were not subsequently cloned from said cell lines. Instead, VH sequences are fully-engineered using the UniRat system as transgenes that comprise human variable regions (VH domains) with a rat Fc domain, and are thus human/rat chimeras without a light chain and are unlike the standard mAb format. The native rat genes are knocked out and the only antibodies expressed in the rat are from transgenes with VH domains linked to a Rat Fc (UniAbs). These are the exclusive Abs expressed in the UniRat. Next generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics are used to identify the full antigen-specific repertoire of the heavy-chain antibodies generated by UniRat after immunization. Then, a unique gene assembly method is used to convert the antibody repertoire sequence information into large collections of fully-human heavy-chain antibodies that can be screened in vitro for a variety of functions. In some embodiments, fully humanized VH are generated by fusing the human VH domains with human Fcs in vitro (to generate a non-naturally occurring recombinant VH antibody). In some embodiments, the VH are fully humanized, but they are expressed in vivo as human/rat chimera (human VH, rat Fc) without a light chain. Fully humanized VHs are expressed in vivo as human/rat chimera (human VH, rat Fc) without a light chain are about 80 kDa (vs 150 kDa).
(36) VCARs of the disclosure may comprise at least one VH of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the VH of the disclosure may be modified to remove an Fc domain or a portion thereof. In some embodiments, a framework sequence of the VH of the disclosure may be modified to, for example, improve expression, decrease immunogenicity or to improve function.

(65) In certain embodiments, immune precursor cells comprise any cells which can differentiate into one or more types of immune cells. In certain embodiments, immune precursor cells comprise multipotent stem cells that can self renew and develop into immune cells. In certain embodiments, immune precursor cells comprise hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or descendants thereof. In certain embodiments, immune precursor cells comprise precursor cells that can develop into immune cells. In certain embodiments, the immune precursor cells comprise hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs).
(66) Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
(67) Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells. All differentiated blood cells from the lymphoid and myeloid lineages arise from HSCs. HSCs can be found in adult bone marrow, peripheral blood, mobilized peripheral blood, peritoneal dialysis effluent and umbilical cord blood.
(68) HSCs of the disclosure may be isolated or derived from a primary or cultured stem cell. HSCs of the disclosure may be isolated or derived from an embryonic stem cell, a multipotent stem cell, a pluripotent stem cell, an adult stem cell, or an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC).
(69) Immune precursor cells of the disclosure may comprise an HSC or an HSC descendent cell. Exemplary HSC descendent cells of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, multipotent stem cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, natural killer (NK) cells, T lymphocyte cells (T-cells), B lymphocyte cells (B-cells), myeloid progenitor cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and macrophages.
(70) HSCs produced by the methods of the disclosure may retain features of primitive stem cells that, while isolated or derived from an adult stem cell and while committed to a single lineage, share characteristics of embryonic stem cells. For example, the primitive HSCs produced by the methods of the disclosure retain their stemness following division and do not differentiate. Consequently, as an adoptive cell therapy, the primitive HSCs produced by the methods of the disclosure not only replenish their numbers, but expand in vivo. Primitive HSCs produced by the methods of the disclosure may be therapeutically-effective when administered as a single dose. In some embodiments, primitive HSCs of the disclosure are CD34+. In some embodiments, primitive HSCs of the disclosure are CD34+ and CD38. In some embodiments, primitive HSCs of the disclosure are CD34+, CD38 and CD90+.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, when it is not desired, modified-T cells of the disclosure do not persist in the patient.
(75) Intensive efforts have been focused on the development of antigen receptor molecules that do not cause T cell exhaustion through antigen-independent (tonic) signaling, as well as of a modified-T cell product containing early memory T cells, especially stem cell memory (T.sub.SCM) or stem cell-like T cells. Stem cell-like modified-T cells of the disclosure exhibit the greatest capacity for self-renewal and multipotent capacity to derive central memory (T.sub.CM) T cells or T.sub.CM like cells, effector memory (T.sub.EM) and effector T cells (T.sub.E), thereby producing better tumor eradication and long-term modified-T cell engraftment. A linear pathway of differentiation may be responsible for generating these cells: Nave T cells (T.sub.N)>T.sub.SCM>T.sub.CM>T.sub.EM>T.sub.E>T.sub.TE, whereby T.sub.N is the parent precursor cell that directly gives rise to T.sub.SCM, which then, in turn, directly gives rise to T.sub.CM, etc. Compositions of T cells of the disclosure may comprise one or more of each parental T cell subset with T.sub.SCM or T.sub.CM cells being the most abundant (e.g., T.sub.SCM>T.sub.CM>T.sub.EM>T.sub.E>T.sub.TE).

(146) In Helitron transpositions, a hairpin close to the 3 end of the transposon functions as a terminator. However, this hairpin can be bypassed by the transposase, resulting in the transduction of flanking sequences. In addition, Helraiser transposition generates covalently closed circular intermediates. Furthermore, Helitron transpositions can lack target site duplications. In the Helraiser sequence, the transposase is flanked by left and right terminal sequences termed LTS (5 terminal sequence) and RTS (3 terminal sequence). These sequences terminate with a conserved 5-TC/CTAG-3 motif A 19 bp palindromic sequence with the potential to form the hairpin termination structure is located 11 nucleotides upstream of the RTS and consists of the sequence GTGCACGAATTTCGTGCACCGGGCCACTAG (SEQ ID NO: 14500).

In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises a sequence of
(212) TABLE-US-00083 (SEQIDNO:14514) CCTCATGCTCGCCGGGTTAA.
(213) In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon may have ends comprising SEQ ID NO: 14506 and SEQ ID NO: 14507, or a variant of either or both of these having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 14506 or SEQ ID NO: 14507, and the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14504 or SEQ ID NO: 14505, or a sequence at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or any percentage in between identity to SEQ ID NO: 14504 or SEQ ID NO: 14505. In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises a heterologous polynucleotide inserted between a pair of inverted repeats, where the transposon is capable of transposition by a piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase having at least 5% 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or any percentage in between identity to SEQ ID NO: 14504 or SEQ ID NO: 14505. In certain embodiments, the transposon comprises two transposon ends, each of which comprises SEQ ID NO: 14510 in inverted orientations in the two transposon ends. In certain embodiments, each inverted terminal repeat (ITR) is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 14510.
(214) In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon is capable of insertion by a piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase at the sequence 5-TTAT-3 within a target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, one end of the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises at least 16 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID NO: 14506 and the other transposon end comprises at least 16 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID NO: 14507. In certain embodiments, one end of the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises at least 17, at least 18, at least 19, at least 20, at least 22, at least 25, at least 30 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID NO: 14506 and the other transposon end comprises at least 17, at least 18, at least 19, at least 20, at least 22, at least 25, at least 30 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID NO: 14507.
(215) In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises transposon ends (each end comprising an ITR) corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 14506 and SEQ ID NO: 14507, and has a target sequence corresponding to 5-TTAT3. In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon also comprises a sequence encoding a transposase (e.g. SEQ ID NO: 14505). In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises one transposon end corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 14506 and a second transposon end corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 14516. SEQ ID NO: 14516 is very similar to SEQ ID NO: 14507, but has a large insertion shortly before the ITR. Although the ITR sequences for the two transposon ends are identical (they are both identical to SEQ ID NO: 14510), they have different target sequences: the second transposon has a target sequence corresponding to 5-TTAA-3, providing evidence that no change in ITR sequence is necessary to modify the target sequence specificity. The piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase (SEQ ID NO: 14504), which is associated with the 5-TTAA-3 target site differs from the 5-TTAT-3-associated transposase (SEQ ID NO: 14505) by only 4 amino acid changes (D322Y, S473C, A507T, H582R). In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase (SEQ ID NO: 14504), which is associated with the 5-TTAA-3 target site is less active than the 5-TTAT-3-associated piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase (SEQ ID NO: 14505) on the transposon with 5-TTAT-3 ends. In certain embodiments, piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposons with 5-TTAA-3 target sites can be converted to piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposases with 5-TTAT-3 target sites by replacing 5-TTAA-3 target sites with 5-TTAT-3. Such transposons can be used either with a piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase such as SEQ ID NO: 14504 which recognizes the 5-TTAT-3 target sequence, or with a variant of a transposase originally associated with the 5-TTAA-3 transposon. In certain embodiments, the high similarity between the 5-TTAA-3 and 5-TTAT-3 piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposases demonstrates that very few changes to the amino acid sequence of a piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase alter target sequence specificity. In certain embodiments, modification of any piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon-transposase gene transfer system, in which 5-TTAA-3 target sequences are replaced with 5-TTAT-3-target sequences, the ITRs remain the same, and the transposase is the original piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase or a variant thereof resulting from using a low-level mutagenesis to introduce mutations into the transposase. In certain embodiments, piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon transposase transfer systems can be formed by the modification of a 5-TTAT-3-active piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon-transposase gene transfer systems in which 5-TTAT-3 target sequences are replaced with 5-TTAA-3-target sequences, the ITRs remain the same, and the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposase is the original transposase or a variant thereof.
(216) In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon is isolated or derived from Bombyx mori. In certain embodiments, the piggyBac or piggyBac-like transposon comprises a sequence of:

(393) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, genome modification comprising introducing a nucleic acid sequence and/or a genomic editing construct into an HSC or HSC descendent cell ex vivo, in vivo, in vitro or in situ stably integrates a nucleic acid sequence, transciently integrates a nucleic acid sequence, produces site-specific integration a nucleic acid sequence, or produces a biased integration of a nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence is a transgene.
(394) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, genome modification comprising introducing a nucleic acid sequence and/or a genomic editing construct into an HSC or HSC descendent cell ex vivo, in vivo, in vitro or in situ stably integrates a nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the stable chromosomal integration can be a random integration, a site-specific integration, or a biased integration. In some embodiments, the site-specific integration can be non-assisted or assisted. In some embodiments, the assisted site-specific integration is co-delivered with a site-directed nuclease. In some embodiments, the site-directed nuclease comprises a transgene with 5 and 3 nucleotide sequence extensions that contain a percentage homology to upstream and downstream regions of the site of genomic integration. In some embodiments, the transgene with homologous nucleotide extensions enable genomic integration by homologous recombination, microhomology-mediated end joining, or nonhomologous end-joining. In some embodiments the site-specific integration occurs at a safe harbor site. Genomic safe harbor sites are able to accommodate the integration of new genetic material in a manner that ensures that the newly inserted genetic elements function reliably (for example, are expressed at a therapeutically effective level of expression) and do not cause deleterious alterations to the host genome that cause a risk to the host organism. Potential genomic safe harbors include, but are not limited to, intronic sequences of the human albumin gene, the adeno-associated virus site 1 (AAVS1), a naturally occurring site of integration of AAV virus on chromosome 19, the site of the chemokine (CC motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) gene and the site of the human ortholog of the mouse Rosa26 locus.
(395) In some embodiments, the site-specific transgene integration occurs at a site that disrupts expression of a target gene. In some embodiments, disruption of target gene expression occurs by site-specific integration at introns, exons, promoters, genetic elements, enhancers, suppressors, start codons, stop codons, and response elements. In some embodiments, exemplary target genes targeted by site-specific integration include but are not limited to TRAC, TRAB, PDI, any immunosuppressive gene, and genes involved in allo-rejection.
(396) In some embodiments, the site-specific transgene integration occurs at a site that results in enhanced expression of a target gene. In some embodiments, enhancement of target gene expression occurs by site-specific integration at introns, exons, promoters, genetic elements, enhancers, suppressors, start codons, stop codons, and response elements.
(397) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, enzymes may be used to create strand breaks in the host genome to facilitate delivery or integration of the transgene. In some embodiments, enzymes create single-strand breaks. In some embodiments, enzymes create double-strand breaks. In some embodiments, examples of break-inducing enzymes include but are not limited to: transposases, integrases, endonucleases, CRISPR-Cas9, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), Cas-CLOVER,and Cpf1. In some embodiments, break-inducing enzymes can be delivered to the cell encoded in DNA, encoded in mRNA, as a protein, as a nucleoprotein complex with a guide RNA (gRNA).
(398) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the site-specific transgene integration is controlled by a vector-mediated integration site bias. In some embodiments vector-mediated integration site bias is controlled by the chosen lentiviral vector. In some embodiments vector-mediated integration site bias is controlled by the chosen gamma-retroviral vector.
(399) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the site-specific transgene integration site is a non-stable chromosomal insertion. In some embodiments, the integrated transgene may become silenced, removed, excised, or further modified.
(400) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a non-stable integration of a transgene. In some embodiments, the non-stable integration can be a transient non-chromosomal integration, a semi-stable non chromosomal integration, a semi-persistent non-chromosomal insertion, or a non-stable chromosomal insertion. In some embodiments, the transient non-chromosomal insertion can be epi-chromosomal or cytoplasmic.
(401) In some embodiments, the transient non-chromosomal insertion of a transgene does not integrate into a chromosome and the modified genetic material is not replicated during cell division.
(402) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a semi-stable or persistent non-chromosomal integration of a transgene. In some embodiments, a DNA vector encodes a Scaffold/matrix attachment region (S-MAR) module that binds to nuclear matrix proteins for episomal retention of a non-viral vector allowing for autonomous replication in the nucleus of dividing cells.
(403) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a non-stable chromosomal integration of a transgene. In some embodiments, the integrated transgene may become silenced, removed, excised, or further modified.
(404) In some embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the modification to the genome by transgene insertion can occur via host cell-directed double-strand breakage repair (homology-directed repair) by homologous recombination (HR), microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), transposase enzyme-mediated modification, integrase enzyme-mediated modification, endonuclease enzyme-mediated modification, or recombinant enzyme-mediated modification. In some embodiments, the modification to the genome by transgene insertion can occur via CRISPR-Cas9, TALEN, ZFNs, Cas-CLOVER, and Cpf1.
(405) In gene editing systems that involve inserting new or existing nucleotides/nucleic acids, insertion tools (e.g., DNA template vectors, transposable elements (transposons or retrotransposons) must be delivered to the cell in addition to the cutting enzyme (e.g., a nuclease, recombinase, integrase or transposase). Examples of such insertion tools for a recombinase may include a DNA vector. Other gene editing systems require the delivery of an integrase along with an insertion vector, a transposase along with a transposon/retrotransposon, etc. In some embodiments, an example recombinase that may be used as a cutting enzyme is the CRE recombinase. In various embodiments, example integrases that may be used in insertion tools include viral based enzymes taken from any of a number of viruses including, but not limited to, AAV, gamma retrovirus, and lentivirus. Example transposons/retrotransposons that may be used in insertion tools include, but are not limited to, the piggyBac transposon, Sleeping Beauty transposon, and the L1 retrotransposon.
(406) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the transgene is delivered in vivo. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, in vivo transgene delivery can occur by: topical delivery, adsorption, absorption, electroporation, spin-fection, co-culture, transfection, mechanical delivery, sonic delivery, vibrational delivery, magnetofection or by nanoparticle-mediated delivery. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, in vivo transgene delivery by transfection can occur by liposomal transfection, calcium phosphate transfection, fugene transfection, and dendrimer-mediated transfection. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, in vivo mechanical transgene delivery can occur by cell squeezing, bombardment, and gene gun. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, in vivo nanoparticle-mediated transgene delivery can occur by liposomal delivery, delivery by micelles, and delivery by polymerosomes.

(410) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification can be a stable integration of a transgene, a transient integration of a transgene, a site-specific integration of a transgene, or a biased integration of a transgene.
(411) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification can be a stable chromosomal integration of a transgene. In certain embodiments, the stable chromosomal integration can be a random integration, a site-specific integration, or a biased integration. In certain embodiments, the site-specific integration can be non-assisted or assisted. In certain embodiments, the assisted site-specific integration is co-delivered with a site-directed nuclease. In certain embodiments, the site-directed nuclease comprises a transgene with 5 and 3 nucleotide sequence extensions that contain homology to upstream and downstream regions of the site of genomic integration. In certain embodiments, the transgene with homologous nucleotide extensions enable genomic integration by homologous recombination, microhomology-mediated end joining, or nonhomologous end-joining. In certain embodiments the site-specific integration occurs at a safe harbor site. Genomic safe harbor sites are able to accommodate the integration of new genetic material in a manner that ensures that the newly inserted genetic elements function reliably (for example, are expressed at a therapeutically effective level of expression) and do not cause deleterious alterations to the host genome that cause a risk to the host organism. Potential genomic safe harbors include, but are not limited to, intronic sequences of the human albumin gene, the adeno-associated virus site 1 (AAVS1), a naturally occurring site of integration of AAV virus on chromosome 19, the site of the chemokine (CC motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) gene and the site of the human ortholog of the mouse Rosa26 locus.
(412) In certain embodiments, the site-specific transgene integration occurs at a site that disrupts expression of a target gene. In certain embodiments, disruption of target gene expression occurs by site-specific integration at introns, exons, promoters, genetic elements, enhancers, suppressors, start codons, stop codons, and response elements. In certain embodiments, exemplary target genes targeted by site-specific integration include but are not limited to TRAC, TRAB, PDI, any immunosuppressive gene, and genes involved in allo-rejection.
(413) In certain embodiments, the site-specific transgene integration occurs at a site that results in enhanced expression of a target gene.

In certain embodiments, examples of break-inducing enzymes include but are not limited to: transposases, integrases, endonucleases, CRISPR-Cas9, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), Cas-CLOVER, and Cpf1. In certain embodiments, break-inducing enzymes can be delivered to the cell encoded in DNA, encoded in mRNA, as a protein, as a nucleoprotein complex with a guide RNA (gRNA).
(415) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the site-specific transgene integration is controlled by a vector-mediated integration site bias. In certain embodiments vector-mediated integration site bias is controlled by the chosen lentiviral vector. In certain embodiments vector-mediated integration site bias is controlled by the chosen gamma-retroviral vector.
(416) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the site-specific transgene integration site is a non-stable chromosomal insertion. In certain embodiments, the integrated transgene may become silenced, removed, excised, or further modified. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a non-stable integration of a transgene. In certain embodiments, the non-stable integration can be a transient non-chromosomal integration, a semi-stable non chromosomal integration, a semi-persistent non-chromosomal insertion, or a non-stable chromosomal insertion. In certain embodiments, the transient non-chromosomal insertion can be epi-chromosomal or cytoplasmic. In certain embodiments, the transient non-chromosomal insertion of a transgene does not integrate into a chromosome and the modified genetic material is not replicated during cell division.
(417) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a semi-stable or persistent non-chromosomal integration of a transgene. In certain embodiments, a DNA vector encodes a Scaffold/matrix attachment region (S-MAR) module that binds to nuclear matrix proteins for episomal retention of a non-viral vector allowing for autonomous replication in the nucleus of dividing cells.
(418) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the genome modification is a non-stable chromosomal integration of a transgene. In certain embodiments, the integrated transgene may become silenced, removed, excised, or further modified.
(419) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, the modification to the genome by transgene insertion can occur via host cell-directed double-strand breakage repair (homology-directed repair) by homologous recombination (HR), microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), transposase enzyme-mediated modification, integrase enzyme-mediated modification, endonuclease enzyme-mediated modification, or recombinant enzyme-mediated modification. In certain embodiments, the modification to the genome by transgene insertion can occur via CRISPR-Cas9, TALEN, ZFNs, Cas-CLOVER, and Cpf1.
(420) In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, a cell with an in vivo or ex vivo genomic modification can be a germline cell or a somatic cell. In certain embodiments the modified cell can be a human, non-human, mammalian, rat, mouse, or dog cell. In certain embodiments, the modified cell can be differentiated, undifferentiated, or immortalized. In certain embodiments, the modified undifferentiated cell can be a stem cell.

In certain embodiments, the modified cell can be a T cell, a hematopoietic stem cell, a natural killer cell, a macrophage, a dendritic cell, a monocyte, a megakaryocyte, or an osteoclast. In certain embodiments, the modified cell can be modified while the cell is quiescent, in an activated state, resting, in interphase, in prophase, in metaphase, in anaphase, or in telophase. In certain embodiments, the modified cell can be fresh, cryopreserved, bulk, sorted into sub-populations, from whole blood, from leukapheresis, or from an immortalized cell line.
(421) Production and Generation of VCARs
(422) At least one VHH protein or VCAR of the disclosure can be optionally produced by a cell line, a mixed cell line, an immortalized cell or clonal population of immortalized cells, as well known in the art. See, e.g., Ausubel, et al., ed., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., NY, N.Y. (1987-2001); Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989); Harlow and Lane, Antibodies, a Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989); Colligan, et al., eds., Current Protocols in Immunology, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., NY (1994-2001); Colligan et al., Current Protocols in Protein Science, John Wiley & Sons, NY, N.Y., (1997-2001).
(423) Amino acids from a VHH protein can be altered, added and/or deleted to reduce immunogenicity or reduce, enhance or modify binding, affinity, on-rate, off-rate, avidity, specificity, half-life, stability, solubility or any other suitable characteristic, as known in the art.
(424) Optionally, VHH proteins can be engineered with retention of high affinity for the antigen and other favorable biological properties. To achieve this goal, the VHH proteins can be optionally prepared by a process of analysis of the parental sequences and various conceptual engineered products using three-dimensional models of the parental and engineered sequences. Three-dimensional models are commonly available and are familiar to those skilled in the art. Computer programs are available which illustrate and display probable three-dimensional conformational structures of selected candidate sequences and can measure possible immunogenicity (e.g., Immunofilter program of Xencor, Inc. of Monrovia, Calif.). Inspection of these displays permits analysis of the likely role of the residues in the functioning of the candidate sequence, i.e., the analysis of residues that influence the ability of the candidate VHH protein to bind its antigen. In this way, residues can be selected and combined from the parent and reference sequences so that the desired characteristic, such as affinity for the target antigen(s), is achieved. Alternatively, or in addition to, the above procedures, other suitable methods of engineering can be used.
(425) Screening of VHH Proteins
(426) Screening VHH for specific binding to similar proteins or fragments can be conveniently achieved using nucleotide (DNA or RNA display) or peptide display libraries, for example, in vitro display. This method involves the screening of large collections of peptides for individual members having the desired function or structure. The displayed nucleotide or peptide sequences can be from 3 to 5000 or more nucleotides or amino acids in length, frequently from 5-100 amino acids long, and often from about 8 to 25 amino acids long. In addition to direct chemical synthetic methods for generating peptide libraries, several recombinant DNA methods have been described. One type involves the display of a peptide sequence on the surface of a bacteriophage or cell. Each bacteriophage or cell contains the nucleotide sequence encoding the particular displayed peptide sequence. The VHH proteins of the disclosure can bind human or other mammalian proteins with a wide range of affinities (KD). In a preferred embodiment, at least one VHH of the present invention can optionally bind to a target protein with high affinity, for example, with a KD equal to or less than about 10.sup.7 M, such as but not limited to, 0.1-9.9 (or any range or value therein)10.sup.8, 10.sup.9, 10.sup.10, 10.sup.11, 10.sup.12, 10.sup.13, 10.sup.14, 10.sup.15 or any range or value therein, as determined by surface plasmon resonance or the Kinexa method, as practiced by those of skill in the art.
(427) The affinity or avidity of a VHH or a VCAR for an antigen can be determined experimentally using any suitable method. (See, for example, Berzofsky, et al., Antibody-Antigen Interactions, In Fundamental Immunology, Paul, W. E., Ed., Raven Press: New York, N.Y. (1984); Kuby, Janis Immunology, W.H. Freeman and Company: New York, N.Y. (1992); and methods described herein). The measured affinity of a particular VHH-antigen or VCAR-antigen interaction can vary if measured under different conditions (e.g., salt concentration, pH). Thus, measurements of affinity and other antigen-binding parameters (e.g., KD, Kon, Koff) are preferably made with standardized solutions of VHH or VCAR and antigen, and a standardized buffer, such as the buffer described herein.
(428) Competitive assays can be performed with the VHH or VCAR of the disclosure in order to determine what proteins, antibodies, and other antagonists compete for binding to a target protein with the VHH or VCAR of the present invention and/or share the epitope region. These assays as readily known to those of ordinary skill in the art evaluate competition between antagonists or ligands for a limited number of binding sites on a protein. The protein and/or antibody is immobilized or insolubilized before or after the competition and the sample bound to the target protein is separated from the unbound sample, for example, by decanting (where the protein/antibody was preinsolubilized) or by centrifuging (where the protein/antibody was precipitated after the competitive reaction). Also, the competitive binding may be determined by whether function is altered by the binding or lack of binding of the VHH or VCAR to the target protein, e.g., whether the VCAR molecule inhibits or potentiates the enzymatic activity of, for example, a label. ELISA and other functional assays may be used, as well known in the art.
(429) Nucleic Acid Molecules
(430) Nucleic acid molecules of the disclosure encoding VHH proteins or VCARs can be in the form of RNA, such as mRNA, hnRNA, tRNA or any other form, or in the form of DNA, including, but not limited to, cDNA and genomic DNA obtained by cloning or produced synthetically, or any combinations thereof. The DNA can be triple-stranded, double-stranded or single-stranded, or any combination thereof. Any portion of at least one strand of the DNA or RNA can be the coding strand, also known as the sense strand, or it can be the non-coding strand, also referred to as the anti-sense strand.
(431) Isolated nucleic acid molecules of the disclosure can include nucleic acid molecules comprising an open reading frame (ORF), optionally, with one or more introns, e.g., but not limited to, at least one specified portion of at least one VCAR; nucleic acid molecules comprising the coding sequence for a VCAR; and nucleic acid molecules which comprise a nucleotide sequence substantially different from those described above but which, due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, still encode the VCAR as described herein and/or as known in the art. Of course, the genetic code is well known in the art. Thus, it would be routine for one skilled in the art to generate such degenerate nucleic acid variants that code for specific VCARs of the present invention. See, e.g., Ausubel, et al., supra, and such nucleic acid variants are included in the present invention.
(432) As indicated herein, nucleic acid molecules of the disclosure which comprise a nucleic acid encoding a VCAR can include, but are not limited to, those encoding the amino acid sequence of a VHH fragment, by itself, the coding sequence for the entire VCAR or a portion thereof; the coding sequence for a VHH, fragment or portion, as well as additional sequences, such as the coding sequence of at least one signal leader or fusion peptide, with or without the aforementioned additional coding sequences, such as at least one intron, together with additional, non-coding sequences, including but not limited to, non-coding 5 and 3 sequences, such as the transcribed, non-translated sequences that play a role in transcription, mRNA processing, including splicing and polyadenylation signals (for example, ribosome binding and stability of mRNA); an additional coding sequence that codes for additional amino acids, such as those that provide additional functionalities. Thus, the sequence encoding a VCAR can be fused to a marker sequence, such as a sequence encoding a peptide that facilitates purification of the fused VCAR comprising a VHH fragment or portion.
(433) Polynucleotides Selectively Hybridizing to a Polynucleotide as Described Herein
(434) The disclosure provides isolated nucleic acids that hybridize under selective hybridization conditions to a polynucleotide disclosed herein. Thus, the polynucleotides of this embodiment can be used for isolating, detecting, and/or quantifying nucleic acids comprising such polynucleotides. For example, polynucleotides of the present invention can be used to identify, isolate, or amplify partial or full-length clones in a deposited library. In some embodiments, the polynucleotides are genomic or cDNA sequences isolated, or otherwise complementary to, a cDNA from a human or mammalian nucleic acid library.
(435) Preferably, the cDNA library comprises at least 80% full-length sequences, preferably, at least 85% or 90% full-length sequences, and, more preferably, at least 95% full-length sequences. The cDNA libraries can be normalized to increase the representation of rare sequences. Low or moderate stringency hybridization conditions are typically, but not exclusively, employed with sequences having a reduced sequence identity relative to complementary sequences. Moderate and high stringency conditions can optionally be employed for sequences of greater identity. Low stringency conditions allow selective hybridization of sequences having about 70% sequence identity and can be employed to identify orthologous or paralogous sequences.
(436) Optionally, polynucleotides of this invention will encode at least a portion of a VCAR encoded by the polynucleotides described herein. The polynucleotides of this invention embrace nucleic acid sequences that can be employed for selective hybridization to a polynucleotide encoding a VCAR of the present invention. See, e.g., Ausubel, supra; Colligan, supra, each entirely incorporated herein by reference.
(437) Construction of Nucleic Acids
(438) The isolated nucleic acids of the disclosure can be made using (a) recombinant methods, (b) synthetic techniques, (c) purification techniques, and/or (d) combinations thereof, as well-known in the art.
(439) The nucleic acids can conveniently comprise sequences in addition to a polynucleotide of the present invention. For example, a multi-cloning site comprising one or more endonuclease restriction sites can be inserted into the nucleic acid to aid in isolation of the polynucleotide. Also, translatable sequences can be inserted to aid in the isolation of the translated polynucleotide of the disclosure. For example, a hexa-histidine marker sequence provides a convenient means to purify the proteins of the disclosure. The nucleic acid of the disclosure, excluding the coding sequence, is optionally a vector, adapter, or linker for cloning and/or expression of a polynucleotide of the disclosure.
(440) Additional sequences can be added to such cloning and/or expression sequences to optimize their function in cloning and/or expression, to aid in isolation of the polynucleotide, or to improve the introduction of the polynucleotide into a cell. Use of cloning vectors, expression vectors, adapters, and linkers is well known in the art. (See, e.g., Ausubel, supra; or Sambrook, supra).
(441) Recombinant Methods for Constructing Nucleic Acid
(442) The isolated nucleic acid compositions of this disclosure, such as RNA, cDNA, genomic DNA, or any combination thereof, can be obtained from biological sources using any number of cloning methodologies known to those of skill in the art. In some embodiments, oligonucleotide probes that selectively hybridize, under stringent conditions, to the polynucleotides of the present invention are used to identify the desired sequence in a cDNA or genomic DNA library. The isolation of RNA, and construction of cDNA and genomic libraries are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. (See, e.g., Ausubel, supra; or Sambrook, supra).
(443) Nucleic Acid Screening and Isolation Methods
(444) A cDNA or genomic library can be screened using a probe based upon the sequence of a polynucleotide of the disclosure. Probes can be used to hybridize with genomic DNA or cDNA sequences to isolate homologous genes in the same or different organisms. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that various degrees of stringency of hybridization can be employed in the assay; and either the hybridization or the wash medium can be stringent. As the conditions for hybridization become more stringent, there must be a greater degree of complementarity between the probe and the target for duplex formation to occur. The degree of stringency can be controlled by one or more of temperature, ionic strength, pH and the presence of a partially denaturing solvent, such as formamide. For example, the stringency of hybridization is conveniently varied by changing the polarity of the reactant solution through, for example, manipulation of the concentration of formamide within the range of 0% to 50%. The degree of complementarity (sequence identity) required for detectable binding will vary in accordance with the stringency of the hybridization medium and/or wash medium. The degree of complementarity will optimally be 100%, or 70-100%, or any range or value therein. However, it should be understood that minor sequence variations in the probes and primers can be compensated for by reducing the stringency of the hybridization and/or wash medium.
(445) Methods of amplification of RNA or DNA are well known in the art and can be used according to the disclosure without undue experimentation, based on the teaching and guidance presented herein.
(446) Known methods of DNA or RNA amplification include, but are not limited to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and related amplification processes (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,195, 4,683,202, 4,800,159, 4,965,188, to Mullis, et al.; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,795,699 and 4,921,794 to Tabor, et al; U.S. Pat. No. 5,142,033 to Innis; U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,464 to Wilson, et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,091,310 to Innis; U.S. Pat. No. 5,066,584 to Gyllensten, et al; U.S. Pat. No. 4,889,818 to Gelfand, et al; U.S. Pat. No. 4,994,370 to Silver, et al; U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,067 to Biswas; U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,134 to Ringold) and RNA mediated amplification that uses anti-sense RNA to the target sequence as a template for double-stranded DNA synthesis (U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,238 to Malek, et al, with the tradename NASBA), the entire contents of which references are incorporated herein by reference. (See, e.g., Ausubel, supra; or Sambrook, supra.)
(447) For instance, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology can be used to amplify the sequences of polynucleotides of the disclosure and related genes directly from genomic DNA or cDNA libraries. PCR and other in vitro amplification methods can also be useful, for example, to clone nucleic acid sequences that code for proteins to be expressed, to make nucleic acids to use as probes for detecting the presence of the desired mRNA in samples, for nucleic acid sequencing, or for other purposes. Examples of techniques sufficient to direct persons of skill through in vitro amplification methods are found in Berger, supra, Sambrook, supra, and Ausubel, supra, as well as Mullis, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202 (1987); and Innis, et al., PCR Protocols A Guide to Methods and Applications, Eds., Academic Press Inc., San Diego, Calif. (1990). Commercially available kits for genomic PCR amplification are known in the art. See, e.g., Advantage-GC Genomic PCR Kit (Clontech). Additionally, e.g., the T4 gene 32 protein (Boehringer Mannheim) can be used to improve yield of long PCR products.
(448) Synthetic Methods for Constructing Nucleic Acids
(449) The isolated nucleic acids of the disclosure can also be prepared by direct chemical synthesis by known methods (see, e.g., Ausubel, et al., supra). Chemical synthesis generally produces a single-stranded oligonucleotide, which can be converted into double-stranded DNA by hybridization with a complementary sequence, or by polymerization with a DNA polymerase using the single strand as a template. One of skill in the art will recognize that while chemical synthesis of DNA can be limited to sequences of about 100 or more bases, longer sequences can be obtained by the ligation of shorter sequences.
(450) Recombinant Expression Cassettes
(451) The disclosure further provides recombinant expression cassettes comprising a nucleic acid of the disclosure. A nucleic acid sequence of the disclosure, for example, a cDNA or a genomic sequence encoding a VCAR of the disclosure, can be used to construct a recombinant expression cassette that can be introduced into at least one desired host cell. A recombinant expression cassette will typically comprise a polynucleotide of the disclosure operably linked to transcriptional initiation regulatory sequences that will direct the transcription of the polynucleotide in the intended host cell. Both heterologous and non-heterologous (i.e., endogenous) promoters can be employed to direct expression of the nucleic acids of the disclosure.
(452) In some embodiments, isolated nucleic acids that serve as promoter, enhancer, or other elements can be introduced in the appropriate position (upstream, downstream or in the intron) of a non-heterologous form of a polynucleotide of the disclosure so as to up or down regulate expression of a polynucleotide of the disclosure. For example, endogenous promoters can be altered in vivo or in vitro by mutation, deletion and/or substitution.

(529) The disclosure provides a method of treating a disease or disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of a composition of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the subject does not develop graft vs. host (GvH) and/or host vs. graft (HvG) following administration of the composition. In some embodiments, the administration is local.

(532) In some embodiments of the composition and methods of the disclosure, allogeneic cells are stem cells. In some embodiments, allogeneic cells are derived from stem cells. Exemplary stem cells include, but are not limited to, embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), multipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, and hematopoetic stem cells (HSCs).
(533) In some embodiments of the composition and methods of the disclosure, allogeneic cells are differentiated somatic cells.
(534) In some embodiments of the composition and methods of the disclosure, allogeneic cells are immune cells. In some embodiments, allogeneic cells are T lymphocytes (T cells). In some embodiments, allogeneic cells are T cells that do not express one or more components of a naturally-occurring T-cell Receptor (TCR). In some embodiments, allogeneic cells are T cells that express a non-naturally occurring antigen receptor. Alternatively, or in addition, in some embodiments, allogeneic cells are T cells that express a non-naturally occurring Chimeric Stimulatory Receptor (CSR). In some embodiments, the non-naturally occurring CSR comprises or consists of a switch receptor. In some embodiments, the switch receptor comprises an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. In some embodiments, the extracellular domain of the switch receptor binds to a TCR co-stimulatory molecule and transduces a signal to the intracellular space of the allogeneic cell that recapitulates TCR signaling or TCR co-stimulatory signaling.
(535) Chimeric Stimulatory Receptors (CSRs)
(536) Adoptive cell compositions that are universally safe for administration to any patient requires a significant reduction or elimination of alloreactivity.
(537) Towards this end, allogeneic cells of the disclosure are modified to interrupt expression or function of a T-cell Receptor (TCR) and/or a class of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). The TCR mediates graft vs host (GvH) reactions whereas the MHC mediates host vs graft (HvG) reactions. In preferred embodiments, any expression and/or function of the TCR is eliminated in allogeneic cells of the disclosure to prevent T-cell mediated GvH that could cause death to the subject. Thus, in particularly preferred embodiments, the disclosure provides a pure TCR-negative allogeneic T-cell composition (e.g. each cell of the composition expresses at a level so low as to either be undetectable or non-existent).
(538) In preferred embodiments, expression and/or function of MHC class I (MHC-I, specifically, HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) is reduced or eliminated in allogeneic cells of the disclosure to prevent HvG and, consequently, to improve engraftment of allogeneic cells of the disclosure in a subject. Improved engraftment of the allogeneic cells of the disclosure results in longer persistence of the cells, and, therefore, a larger therapeutic window for the subject. Specifically, in the allogeneic cells of the disclosure, expression and/or function of a structural element of MHC-I, Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M), is reduced or eliminated in allogeneic cells of the disclosure.
(539) The above strategies for generating an allogeneic cell of the disclosure induce further challenges. T Cell Receptor (TCR) knockout (KO) in T cells results in loss of expression of CD3-zeta (CD3z or CD3), which is part of the TCR complex. The loss of CD3 in TCR-KO T-cells dramatically reduces the ability of optimally activating and expanding these cells using standard stimulation/activation reagents, including, but not limited to, agonist anti-CD3 mAb. When the expression or function of any one component of the TCR complex is interrupted, all components of the complex are lost, including TCR-alpha (TCR), TCR-beta (TCR), CD3-gamma (CD3), CD3-epsilon (CD3), CD3-delta (CD3), and CD3-zeta (CD3). Both CD3 and CD3 are required for T cell activation and expansion. Agonist anti-CD3 mAbs typically recognize CD3 and possibly another protein within the complex which, in turn, signals to CD3. CD3 provides the primary stimulus for T cell activation (along with a secondary co-stimulatory signal) for optimal activation and expansion. Under normal conditions, full T-cell activation depends on the engagement of the TCR in conjunction with a second signal mediated by one or more co-stimulatory receptors (e.g. CD28, CD2, 4-1BBL, etc. . . . ) that boost the immune response. However, when the TCR is not present, T cell expansion is severely reduced when stimulated using standard activation/stimulation reagents, including agonist anti-CD3 mAb. In fact, T cell expansion is reduced to only 20-40% of the normal level of expansion when stimulated using standard activation/stimulation reagents, including agonist anti-CD3 mAb.
(540) The disclosure provides a Chimeric Stimulatory Receptor (CSR) to deliver CD3z primary stimulation to allogeneic T cells in the absence of an endogenous TCR (and, consequently, an endogenous CD3) when stimulated using standard activation/stimulation reagents, including agonist anti-CD3 mAb.
(541) In the absence of an endogenous TCR, Chimeric Stimulatory Receptors (CSRs) of the disclosure provide a CD3 stimulus to enhance activation and expansion of allogeneic T cells. In other words, in the absence of an endogenous TCR, Chimeric Stimulatory Receptors (CSRs) of the disclosure rescue the allogeneic cell from an activation-based disadvantage when compared to non-allogeneic T-cells that express an endogenous TCR. In some embodiments, CSRs of the disclosure comprise an agonist mAb epitope extracellularly and a CD3 stimulatory domain intracellularly and, functionally, convert an anti-CD28 or anti-CD2 binding event on the surface into a CD3z signaling event in an allogeneic T cell modified to express the CSR. In some embodiments, a CSR comprises a wild type CD28 or CD2 protein and a CD3z intracellular stimulation domain, to produce CD28z CSR and CD2z CSR, respectively. In preferred embodiments, CD28z CSR and/or CD2z CSR further express a non-naturally occurring antigen receptor and/or a therapeutic protein. In preferred embodiments, the non-naturally occurring antigen receptor comprises a Chimeric Antigen Receptor.
(542) The data provided herein demonstrate that modified allogeneic T cells of the disclosure comprising/expressing a CSR of the disclosure improve or rescue, the expansion of allogeneic T cells that no longer express endogenous TCR when compared to those cells that do not comprise/express a CSR of the disclosure.
(543) Endogenous TCR Knock-Out
(544) Gene editing compositions of the disclosure, including but not limited to, RNA-guided fusion proteins comprising dCas9-Clo051, may be used to target and decrease or eliminate expression of an endogenous T-cell receptor of an allogeneic cell of the disclosure. In preferred embodiments, the gene editing compositions of the disclosure target and delete a gene, a portion of a gene, or a regulatory element of a gene (such as a promoter) encoding an endogenous T-cell receptor of an allogeneic cell of the disclosure.

Engineered HLA-E Compositions
(555) MHCI knockout (KO) renders cells resistant to killing by T cells, but also makes them susceptible to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity (Missing-self hypothesis) (see
(556) Two strategies are contemplated by the disclosure for engineering allo (MHCI-neg) T cells (including CAR-T cells) more resistant to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. In some embodiments, a sequence encoding a molecule (such as single-chain HLA-E) that reduces or prevents NK killing is introduced or delivered to an allogeneic cell. Alternatively, or in addition, gene editing methods of the disclosure retain certain endogenous HLA molecules (such as endogenous HLA-E). For example, the first approach involves piggyBac (PB) delivery of a single-chain (sc)HLA-E molecule to B2M KO T cells.
(557) The second approach uses a gene editing composition with guide RNAs selective for HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C, but not, for example, HLA-E or other molecules that are protective against natural-killer cell mediated cytotoxicity for MHCI KO cells.
(558) Alternative or additional molecules to HLA-E that are protective against NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity include, but are not limited to, interferon alpha/beta receptor 1 (IFNAR1), human IFNAR1, interferon alpha/beta receptor 2 (IFNAR2), human IFNAR2, HLA-G1, HLA-G2, HLA-G3, HLA-G4, HLA-G5, HLA-G6, HLA-G7, human carcino embryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), viral hemoagglutinins, CD48, LLT1 (also referred to as C-type lectin domain family 2 member (CLC2D)), ULBP2, ULBP3, and sMICA or a variant thereof.

(623) The polynucleotides can optionally be joined to a vector containing a selectable marker for propagation in a host. Generally, a plasmid vector is introduced in a precipitate, such as a calcium phosphate precipitate, or in a complex with a charged lipid. If the vector is a virus, it can be packaged in vitro using an appropriate packaging cell line and then transduced into host cells.
(624) The DNA insert should be operatively linked to an appropriate promoter. The expression constructs will further contain sites for transcription initiation, termination and, in the transcribed region, a ribosome binding site for translation. The coding portion of the mature transcripts expressed by the constructs will preferably include a translation initiating at the beginning and a termination codon (e.g., UAA, UGA or UAG) appropriately positioned at the end of the mRNA to be translated, with UAA and UAG preferred for mammalian or eukaryotic cell expression.
(625) Expression vectors will preferably but optionally include at least one selectable marker. Such markers include, e.g., but are not limited to, ampicillin, zeocin (Sh bla gene), puromycin (pac gene), hygromycin B (hygB gene), G418/Geneticin (neo gene), mycophenolic acid, or glutamine synthetase (GS, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,122,464; 5,770,359; 5,827,739), blasticidin (bsd gene), resistance genes for eukaryotic cell culture as well as ampicillin, zeocin (Sh bla gene), puromycin (pac gene), hygromycin B (hygB gene), G418/Geneticin (neo gene), kanamycin, spectinomycin, streptomycin, carbenicillin, bleomycin, erythromycin, polymyxin B, or tetracycline resistance genes for culturing in E. coli and other bacteria or prokaryotics (the above patents are entirely incorporated hereby by reference). Appropriate culture mediums and conditions for the above-described host cells are known in the art. Suitable vectors will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan. Introduction of a vector construct into a host cell can be effected by calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-dextran mediated transfection, cationic lipid-mediated transfection, electroporation, transduction, infection or other known methods. Such methods are described in the art, such as Sambrook, supra, Chapters 1-4 and 16-18; Ausubel, supra, Chapters 1, 9, 13, 15, 16.
(626) Expression vectors will preferably but optionally include at least one selectable cell surface marker for isolation of cells modified by the compositions and methods of the disclosure. Selectable cell surface markers of the disclosure comprise surface proteins, glycoproteins, or group of proteins that distinguish a cell or subset of cells from another defined subset of cells. Preferably the selectable cell surface marker distinguishes those cells modified by a composition or method of the disclosure from those cells that are not modified by a composition or method of the disclosure. Such cell surface markers include, e.g., but are not limited to, cluster of designation or classification determinant proteins (often abbreviated as CD) such as a truncated or full length form of CD19, CD271, CD34, CD22, CD20, CD33, CD52, or any combination thereof. Cell surface markers further include the suicide gene marker RQR8 (Philip B et al. Blood. 2014 Aug. 21; 124(8):1277-87).
(627) Expression vectors will preferably but optionally include at least one selectable drug resistance marker for isolation of cells modified by the compositions and methods of the disclosure. Selectable drug resistance markers of the disclosure may comprise wild-type or mutant Neo, DHFR, TYMS, FRANCF, RAD51C, GCS, MDR1, ALDH1, NKX2.2, or any combination thereof.
(628) At least one VHH or VCAR of the disclosure can be expressed in a modified form, such as a fusion protein, and can include not only secretion signals, but also additional heterologous functional regions. For instance, a region of additional amino acids, particularly charged amino acids, can be added to the N-terminus of a VHH or VCAR to improve stability and persistence in the host cell, during purification, or during subsequent handling and storage. Also, peptide moieties can be added to a VHH or VCAR of the disclosure to facilitate purification. Such regions can be removed prior to final preparation of a VHH or VCAR or at least one fragment thereof. Such methods are described in many standard laboratory manuals, such as Sambrook, supra, Chapters 17.29-17.42 and 18.1-18.74; Ausubel, supra, Chapters 16, 17 and 18.
(629) Those of ordinary skill in the art are knowledgeable in the numerous expression systems available for expression of a nucleic acid encoding a protein of the disclosure. Alternatively, nucleic acids of the disclosure can be expressed in a host cell by turning on (by manipulation) in a host cell that contains endogenous DNA encoding a VHH or VCAR of the disclosure. Such methods are well known in the art, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,580,734, 5,641,670, 5,733,746, and 5,733,761, entirely incorporated herein by reference.
(630) Illustrative of cell cultures useful for the production of the VHH or VCARs, specified portions or variants thereof, are bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells as known in the art. Mammalian cell systems often will be in the form of monolayers of cells although mammalian cell suspensions or bioreactors can also be used. A number of suitable host cell lines capable of expressing intact glycosylated proteins have been developed in the art, and include the COS-1 (e.g., ATCC CRL 1650), COS-7 (e.g., ATCC CRL-1651), HEK293, BHK21 (e.g., ATCC CRL-10), CHO (e.g., ATCC CRL 1610) and BSC-1 (e.g., ATCC CRL-26) cell lines, Cos-7 cells, CHO cells, hep G2 cells, P3X63 g8.653, SP2/0-Ag14, 293 cells, HeLa cells and the like, which are readily available from, for example, American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va. (www.atcc.org). Preferred host cells include cells of lymphoid origin, such as myeloma and lymphoma cells. Particularly preferred host cells are P3X63Ag8.653 cells (ATCC Accession Number CRL-1580) and SP2/0-Ag14 cells (ATCC Accession Number CRL-1851). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the recombinant cell is a P3X63Ab8.653 or an SP2/0-Ag14 cell.
(631) Expression vectors for these cells can include one or more of the following expression control sequences, such as, but not limited to, an origin of replication; a promoter (e.g., late or early SV40 promoters, the CMV promoter (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,168,062; 5,385,839), an HSV tk promoter, a pgk (phosphoglycerate kinase) promoter, an EF-1 alpha promoter (U.S. Pat. No. 5,266,491), at least one human promoter; an enhancer, and/or processing information sites, such as ribosome binding sites, RNA splice sites, polyadenylation sites (e.g., an SV40 large T Ag poly A addition site), and transcriptional terminator sequences. See, e.g., Ausubel et al., supra; Sambrook, et al., supra. Other cells useful for production of nucleic acids or proteins of the present invention are known and/or available, for instance, from the American Type Culture Collection Catalogue of Cell Lines and Hybridomas (www.atcc.org) or other known or commercial sources.
(632) When eukaryotic host cells are employed, polyadenlyation or transcription terminator sequences are typically incorporated into the vector. An example of a terminator sequence is the polyadenlyation sequence from the bovine growth hormone gene. Sequences for accurate splicing of the transcript can also be included. An example of a splicing sequence is the VP1 intron from SV40 (Sprague, et al., J. Virol. 45:773-781 (1983)). Additionally, gene sequences to control replication in the host cell can be incorporated into the vector, as known in the art.
(633) Purification of a VH, VHH or VCAR
(634) A VHH protein or VCAR can be recovered and purified from recombinant cell cultures by well-known methods including, but not limited to, protein A purification, ammonium sulfate or ethanol precipitation, acid extraction, anion or cation exchange chromatography, phosphocellulose chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, affinity chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography and lectin chromatography. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can also be employed for purification. See, e.g., Colligan, Current Protocols in Immunology, or Current Protocols in Protein Science, John Wiley & Sons, NY, N.Y., (1997-2001), e.g., Chapters 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, each entirely incorporated herein by reference.
(635) VHs, VHHs and/or VCARs of the disclosure include purified products, products of chemical synthetic procedures, and products produced by recombinant techniques from a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host, including, for example, E. coli, yeast, higher plant, insect and mammalian cells. Depending upon the host employed in a recombinant production procedure, the VCAR of the disclosure can be glycosylated or can be non-glycosylated. Such methods are described in many standard laboratory manuals, such as Sambrook, supra, Sections 17.37-17.42; Ausubel, supra, Chapters 10, 12, 13, 16, 18 and 20, Colligan, Protein Science, supra, Chapters 12-14, all entirely incorporated herein by reference.
(636) Amino Acid Codes
(637) The amino acids that make up VCARs of the disclosure are often abbreviated. The amino acid designations can be indicated by designating the amino acid by its single letter code, its three letter code, name, or three nucleotide codon(s) as is well understood in the art (see Alberts, B., et al., Molecular Biology of The Cell, Third Ed., Garland Publishing, Inc., New York, 1994). A VCAR of the disclosure can include one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions, from spontaneous or mutations and/or human manipulation, as specified herein. Amino acids in a VCAR of the disclosure that are essential for function can be identified by methods known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (e.g., Ausubel, supra, Chapters 8, 15; Cunningham and Wells, Science 244:1081-1085 (1989)). The latter procedure introduces single alanine mutations at every residue in the molecule. The resulting mutant molecules are then tested for biological activity, such as, but not limited to, at least one neutralizing activity. Sites that are critical for VCAR binding can also be identified by structural analysis, such as crystallization, nuclear magnetic resonance or photoaffinity labeling (Smith, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 224:899-904 (1992) and de Vos, et al., Science 255:306-312 (1992)).
(638) As those of skill will appreciate, the invention includes at least one biologically active VCAR of the disclosure. Biologically active VCARs have a specific activity at least 20%, 30%, or 40%, and, preferably, at least 50%, 60%, or 70%, and, most preferably, at least 80%, 90%, or 95%-99% or more of the specific activity of the native (non-synthetic), endogenous or related and known VCAR. Methods of assaying and quantifying measures of enzymatic activity and substrate specificity are well known to those of skill in the art.
(639) In another aspect, the disclosure relates to VHH proteins and fragments, as described herein, which are modified by the covalent attachment of an organic moiety. Such modification can produce a VCAR fragment with improved pharmacokinetic properties (e.g., increased in vivo serum half-life). The organic moiety can be a linear or branched hydrophilic polymeric group, fatty acid group, or fatty acid ester group. In particular embodiments, the hydrophilic polymeric group can have a molecular weight of about 800 to about 120,000 Daltons and can be a polyalkane glycol (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG)), carbohydrate polymer, amino acid polymer or polyvinyl pyrolidone, and the fatty acid or fatty acid ester group can comprise from about eight to about forty carbon atoms.
(640) The modified VHH proteins and fragments of the disclosure can comprise one or more organic moieties that are covalently bonded, directly or indirectly, to the antibody. Each organic moiety that is bonded to a VHH protein or fragment of the disclosure can independently be a hydrophilic polymeric group, a fatty acid group or a fatty acid ester group. As used herein, the term fatty acid encompasses mono-carboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids. A hydrophilic polymeric group, as the term is used herein, refers to an organic polymer that is more soluble in water than in octane. For example, polylysine is more soluble in water than in octane. Thus, a VHH protein modified by the covalent attachment of polylysine is encompassed by the disclosure. Hydrophilic polymers suitable for modifying VCARs of the disclosure can be linear or branched and include, for example, polyalkane glycols (e.g., PEG, monomethoxy-polyethylene glycol (mPEG), PPG and the like), carbohydrates (e.g., dextran, cellulose, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and the like), polymers of hydrophilic amino acids (e.g., polylysine, polyarginine, polyaspartate and the like), polyalkane oxides (e.g., polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide and the like) and polyvinyl pyrolidone. Preferably, the hydrophilic polymer that modifies the VCAR of the disclosure has a molecular weight of about 800 to about 150,000 Daltons as a separate molecular entity. For example, PEG5000 and PEG 20,000, wherein the subscript is the average molecular weight of the polymer in Daltons, can be used. The hydrophilic polymeric group can be substituted with one to about six alkyl, fatty acid or fatty acid ester groups. Hydrophilic polymers that are substituted with a fatty acid or fatty acid ester group can be prepared by employing suitable methods. For example, a polymer comprising an amine group can be coupled to a carboxylate of the fatty acid or fatty acid ester, and an activated carboxylate (e.g., activated with N,N-carbonyl diimidazole) on a fatty acid or fatty acid ester can be coupled to a hydroxyl group on a polymer.
(641) Fatty acids and fatty acid esters suitable for modifying VHH proteins of the disclosure can be saturated or can contain one or more units of unsaturation. Fatty acids that are suitable for modifying VCARs of the disclosure include, for example, n-dodecanoate (C12, laurate), n-tetradecanoate (C14, myristate), n-octadecanoate (C18, stearate), n-eicosanoate (C20, arachidate), n-docosanoate (C22, behenate), n-triacontanoate (C30), n-tetracontanoate (C40), cis-9-octadecanoate (C18, oleate), all cis-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (C20, arachidonate), octanedioic acid, tetradecanedioic acid, octadecanedioic acid, docosanedioic acid, and the like. Suitable fatty acid esters include mono-esters of dicarboxylic acids that comprise a linear or branched lower alkyl group. The lower alkyl group can comprise from one to about twelve, preferably, one to about six, carbon atoms.
(642) The modified VHH proteins and fragments can be prepared using suitable methods, such as by reaction with one or more modifying agents. A modifying agent as the term is used herein, refers to a suitable organic group (e.g., hydrophilic polymer, a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester) that comprises an activating group. An activating group is a chemical moiety or functional group that can, under appropriate conditions, react with a second chemical group thereby forming a covalent bond between the modifying agent and the second chemical group. For example, amine-reactive activating groups include electrophilic groups, such as tosylate, mesylate, halo (chloro, bromo, fluoro, iodo), N-hydroxysuccinimidyl esters (NHS), and the like. Activating groups that can react with thiols include, for example, maleimide, iodoacetyl, acrylolyl, pyridyl disulfides, 5-thiol-2-nitrobenzoic acid thiol (TNB-thiol), and the like. An aldehyde functional group can be coupled to amine- or hydrazide-containing molecules, and an azide group can react with a trivalent phosphorous group to form phosphoramidate or phosphorimide linkages. Suitable methods to introduce activating groups into molecules are known in the art (see for example, Hermanson, G. T., Bioconjugate Techniques, Academic Press: San Diego, Calif. (1996)). An activating group can be bonded directly to the organic group (e.g., hydrophilic polymer, fatty acid, fatty acid ester), or through a linker moiety, for example, a divalent C1-C12 group wherein one or more carbon atoms can be replaced by a heteroatom, such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. Suitable linker moieties include, for example, tetraethylene glycol, (CH2)3-, NH(CH2)6-NH, (CH2)2-NH and CH2-OCH2-CH2-OCH2-CH2-OCHNH. Modifying agents that comprise a linker moiety can be produced, for example, by reacting a mono-Boc-alkyldiamine (e.g., mono-Boc-ethylenediamine, mono-Boc-diaminohexane) with a fatty acid in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) to form an amide bond between the free amine and the fatty acid carboxylate. The Boc protecting group can be removed from the product by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to expose a primary amine that can be coupled to another carboxylate, as described, or can be reacted with maleic anhydride and the resulting product cyclized to produce an activated maleimido derivative of the fatty acid. (See, for example, Thompson, et al., WO 92/16221, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.)
(643) The modified VHH proteins and fragments of the disclosure can be produced by reacting VHH protein or fragment with a modifying agent. For example, the organic moieties can be bonded to the VHH protein in a non-site specific manner by employing an amine-reactive modifying agent, for example, an NHS ester of PEG. Modified VHH proteins and fragments comprising an organic moiety that is bonded to specific sites of a VHH protein of the disclosure can be prepared using suitable methods, such as reverse proteolysis (Fisch et al., Bioconjugate Chem., 3:147-153 (1992); Werlen et al., Bioconjugate Chem., 5:411-417 (1994); Kumaran et al., Protein Sci. 6(10):2233-2241 (1997); Itoh et al., Bioorg. Chem., 24(1): 59-68 (1996); Capellas et al., Biotechnol. Bioeng., 56(4):456-463 (1997)), and the methods described in Hermanson, G. T., Bioconjugate Techniques, Academic Press: San Diego, Calif. (1996).
(644) VH or VHH Protein Compositions Comprising Further Therapeutically Active Ingredients
(645) VHH protein or VCAR compounds, compositions or combinations of the present disclosure can further comprise at least one of any suitable auxiliary, such as, but not limited to, diluent, binder, stabilizer, buffers, salts, lipophilic solvents, preservative, adjuvant or the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliaries are preferred. Non-limiting examples of, and methods of preparing such sterile solutions are well known in the art, such as, but limited to, Gennaro, Ed., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, Mack Publishing Co. (Easton, Pa.) 1990. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be routinely selected that are suitable for the mode of administration, solubility and/or stability of the VHH protein or VCAR, fragment or variant composition as well known in the art or as described herein.
(646) Pharmaceutical excipients and additives useful in the present composition include, but are not limited to, proteins, peptides, amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates (e.g., sugars, including monosaccharides, di-, tri-, tetra-, and oligosaccharides; derivatized sugars, such as alditols, aldonic acids, esterified sugars and the like; and polysaccharides or sugar polymers), which can be present singly or in combination, comprising alone or in combination 1-99.99% by weight or volume. Exemplary protein excipients include serum albumin, such as human serum albumin (HSA), recombinant human albumin (rHA), gelatin, casein, and the like. Representative amino acid/protein components, which can also function in a buffering capacity, include alanine, glycine, arginine, betaine, histidine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cysteine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine, aspartame, and the like. One preferred amino acid is glycine.

Preferred carbohydrate excipients for use in the present invention are mannitol, trehalose, and raffinose.
(648) VH protein, VHH protein or VCAR compositions can also include a buffer or a pH-adjusting agent; typically, the buffer is a salt prepared from an organic acid or base. Representative buffers include organic acid salts, such as salts of citric acid, ascorbic acid, gluconic acid, carbonic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, or phthalic acid; Tris, tromethamine hydrochloride, or phosphate buffers. Preferred buffers for use in the present compositions are organic acid salts, such as citrate.
(649) Additionally, VH protein, VHH protein or VCAR compositions of the disclosure can include polymeric excipients/additives, such as polyvinylpyrrolidones, ficolls (a polymeric sugar), dextrates (e.g., cyclodextrins, such as 2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin), polyethylene glycols, flavoring agents, antimicrobial agents, sweeteners, antioxidants, antistatic agents, surfactants (e.g., polysorbates, such as TWEEN 20 and TWEEN 80), lipids (e.g., phospholipids, fatty acids), steroids (e.g., cholesterol), and chelating agents (e.g., EDTA).
(650) These and additional known pharmaceutical excipients and/or additives suitable for use in the VH protein, VHH protein, VCAR, portion or variant compositions according to the invention are known in the art, e.g., as listed in Remington: The Science & Practice of Pharmacy, 19th ed., Williams & Williams, (1995), and in the Physician's Desk Reference, 52nd ed., Medical Economics, Montvale, N.J. (1998), the disclosures of which are entirely incorporated herein by reference. Preferred carrier or excipient materials are carbohydrates (e.g., saccharides and alditols) and buffers (e.g., citrate) or polymeric agents. An exemplary carrier molecule is the mucopolysaccharide, hyaluronic acid, which may be useful for intraarticular delivery.
(651) T Cell Isolation from a Leukapheresis Product
(652) A leukapheresis product or blood may be collected from a subject at clinical site using a closed system and standard methods (e.g., a COBE Spectra Apheresis System). Preferably, the product is collected according to standard hospital or institutional Leukapheresis procedures in standard Leukapheresis collection bags. For example, in preferred embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, no additional anticoagulants or blood additives (heparin, etc.) are included beyond those normally used during leukapheresis.
(653) Alternatively, white blood cells (WBC)/Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) (using Biosafe Sepax 2 (Closed/Automated)) or T cells (using CliniMACS Prodigy (Closed/Automated)) may be isolated directly from whole blood. However, in certain subjects (e.g. those diagnosed and/or treated for cancer), the WBC/PBMC yield may be significantly lower when isolated from whole blood than when isolated by leukapheresis.
(654) Either the leukapheresis procedure and/or the direct cell isolation procedure may be used for any subject of the disclosure.
(655) The leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should be packed in insulated containers and should be kept at controlled room temperature (+19 C. to +25 C.) according to standard hospital of institutional blood collection procedures approved for use with the clinical protocol. The leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should not be refrigerated.
(656) The cell concentration leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should not exceed 0.210.sup.9 cells per mL during transportation. Intense mixing of the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should be avoided.
(657) If the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition has to be stored, e.g., overnight, it should be kept at controlled room temperature (same as above). During storage, the concentration of the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should never exceed 0.210.sup.9 cell per mL.
(658) Preferably, cells of the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should be stored in autologous plasma. In certain embodiments, if the cell concentration of the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition is higher than 0.210.sup.9 cell per mL, the product should be diluted with autologous plasma.
(659) Preferably, the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition should not be older than 24 hours when starting the labeling and separation procedure. The leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T-cell composition may be processed and/or prepared for cell labeling using a closed and/or automated system (e.g., CliniMACS Prodigy).
(660) An automated system may perform additional buffy coat isolation, possibly by ficolation, and/or washing of the cellular product (e.g., the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T cell composition).
(661) A closed and/or automated system may be used to prepare and label cells for T-Cell isolation (from, for example, the leukapheresis product, blood, WBC/PBMC composition and/or T cell composition).
(662) Although WBC/PBMCs may be nucleofected directly (which is easier and saves additional steps), the methods of the disclosure may include first isolating T cells prior to nucleofection. The easier strategy of directly nucleofecting PBMC requires selective expansion of VCAR+ cells that is mediated via VCAR signaling, which by itself is proving to be an inferior expansion method that directly reduces the in vivo efficiency of the product by rendering T cells functionally exhausted. The product may be a heterogeneous composition of VCAR+ cells including T cells, NK cells, NKT cells, monocytes, or any combination thereof, which increases the variability in product from patient to patient and makes dosing and CRS management more difficult. Since T cells are thought to be the primary effectors in tumor suppression and killing, T cell isolation for the manufacture of an autologous product may result in significant benefits over the other more heterogeneous composition.
(663) T cells may be isolated directly, by enrichment of labeled cells or depletion of labeled cells in a one-way labeling procedure or, indirectly, in a two-step labeling procedure. According to certain enrichment strategies of the disclosure, T cells may be collected in a Cell Collection Bag and the non-labeled cells (non-target cells) in a Negative Fraction Bag. In contrast to an enrichment strategy of the disclosure, the non-labeled cells (target cells) are collected in a Cell Collection Bag and the labeled cells (non-target cells) are collected in a Negative Fraction Bag or in the Non-Target Cell Bag, respectively. Selection reagents may include, but are not limited to, antibody-coated beads. Antibody-coated beads may either be removed prior to a modification and/or an expansion step, or, retained on the cells prior to a modification and/or an expansion step. One or more of the following non-limiting examples of cellular markers may be used to isolate T-cells: CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, anti-biotin, CD1c, CD3/CD19, CD3/CD56, CD14, CD19, CD34, CD45RA, CD56, CD62L, CD133, CD137, CD271, CD304, IFN-gamma, TCR alpha/beta, and/or any combination thereof. Methods for the isolation of T-cells may include one or more reagents that specifically bind and/or detectably-label one or more of the following non-limiting examples of cellular markers may be used to isolate T-cells: CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, anti-biotin, CD1c, CD3/CD19, CD3/CD56, CD14, CD19, CD34, CD45RA, CD56, CD62L, CD133, CD137, CD271, CD304, IFN-gamma, TCR alpha/beta, and/or any combination thereof. These reagents may or may not be Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) grade. Reagents may include, but are not limited to, Thermo DynaBeads and Miltenyi CliniMACS products. Methods of isolating T-cells of the disclosure may include multiple iterations of labeling and/or isolation steps. At any point in the methods of isolating T-cells of the disclosure, unwanted cells and/or unwanted cell types may be depleted from a T cell product composition of the disclosure by positively or negatively selecting for the unwanted cells and/or unwanted cell types. A T cell product composition of the disclosure may contain additional cell types that may express CD4, CD8, and/or another T cell marker(s).
(664) Methods of the disclosure for nucleofection of T cells may eliminate the step of T cell isolation by, for example, a process for nucleofection of T cells in a population or composition of WBC/PBMCs that, following nucleofection, includes an isolation step or a selective expansion step via TCR signaling.
(665) Certain cell populations may be depleted by positive or negative selection before or after T cell enrichment and/or sorting. Examples of cell compositions that may be depleted from a cell product composition may include myeloid cells, CD25+ regulatory T cells (T Regs), dendritic cells, macrophages, red blood cells, mast cells, gamma-delta T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, a Natural Killer (NK)-like cell (e.g., a Cytokine Induced Killer (CIK) cell), induced natural killer (iNK) T cells, NK T cells, B cells, or any combination thereof.
(666) T cell product compositions of the disclosure may include CD4+ and CD8+ T-Cells. CD4+ and CD8+ T-Cells may be isolated into separate collection bags during an isolation or selection procedure. CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells may be further treated separately, or treated after reconstitution (combination into the same composition) at a particular ratio.
(667) The particular ratio at which CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells may be reconstituted may depend upon the type and efficacy of expansion technology used, cell medium, and/or growth conditions utilized for expansion of T-cell product compositions. Examples of possible CD4+: CD8+ ratios include, but are not limited to, 50%:50%, 60%:40%, 40%:60% 75%:25% and 25%:75%.
(668) CD8+ T cells exhibit a potent capacity for tumor cell killing, while CD4+ T cells provide many of the cytokines required to support CD8+ T cell proliferative capacity and function. Because T cells isolated from normal donors are predominantly CD4+, the T-cell product compositions are artificially adjusted in vitro with respect to the CD4+:CD8+ ratio to improve upon the ratio of CD4+ T cells to CD8+ T cells that would otherwise be present in vivo. An optimized ratio may also be used for the ex vivo expansion of the autologous T-cell product composition. In view of the artificially adjusted CD4+:CD8+ ratio of the T-cell product composition, it is important to note that the product compositions of the disclosure may be significantly different and provide significantly greater advantage than any endogenous-occurring population of T-cells.
(669) Preferred methods for T cell isolation may include a negative selection strategy for yielding untouched pan T cell, meaning that the resultant T-cell composition includes T-cells that have not been manipulated and that contain an endogenously-occurring variety/ratio of T-cells.
(670) Reagents that may be used for positive or negative selection include, but are not limited to, magnetic cell separation beads. Magnetic cell separation beads may or may not be removed or depleted from selected populations of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, or a mixed population of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells before performing the next step in a T-cell isolation method of the disclosure.
(671) T cell compositions and T cell product compositions may be prepared for cryopreservation, storage in standard T Cell Culture Medium, and/or genetic modification.
(672) T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof may be cryopreserved using a standard cryopreservation method optimized for storing and recovering human cells with high recovery, viability, phenotype, and/or functional capacity. Commercially-available cryopreservation media and/or protocols may be used. Cryopreservation methods of the disclosure may include a DMSO free cryopreservant (e.g., CryoSOfree DMSO-free Cryopreservation Medium) reduce freezing-related toxicity.
(673) T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof may be stored in a culture medium. T cell culture media of the disclosure may be optimized for cell storage, cell genetic modification, cell phenotype and/or cell expansion. T cell culture media of the disclosure may include one or more antibiotics. Because the inclusion of an antibiotic within a cell culture media may decrease transfection efficiency and/or cell yield following genetic modification via nucleofection, the specific antibiotics (or combinations thereof) and their respective concentration(s) may be altered for optimal transfection efficiency and/or cell yield following genetic modification via nucleofection.
(674) T cell culture media of the disclosure may include serum, and, moreover, the serum composition and concentration may be altered for optimal cell outcomes. Human AB serum is preferred over FBS/FCS for culture of T cells because, although contemplated for use in T cell culture media of the disclosure, FBS/FCS may introduce xeno-proteins. Serum may be isolated form the blood of the subject for whom the T-cell composition in culture is intended for administration, thus, a T cell culture medium of the disclosure may comprise autologous serum. Serum-free media or serum-substitute may also be used in T-cell culture media of the disclosure. In certain embodiments of the T-cell culture media and methods of the disclosure, serum-free media or serum-substitute may provide advantages over supplementing the medium with xeno-serum, including, but not limited to, healthier cells that have greater viability, nucleofect with higher efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies.
(675) T cell culture media may include a commercially-available cell growth media. Exemplary commercially-available cell growth media include, but are not limited to, PBS, HBSS, OptiMEM, DMEM, RPMI 1640, AIM-V, X-VIVO 15, CellGro DC Medium, CTS OpTimizer T Cell Expansion SFM, TexMACS Medium, PRIME-XV T Cell Expansion Medium, ImmunoCult-XF T Cell Expansion Medium, or any combination thereof.
(676) T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof may be prepared for genetic modification. Preparation of T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof for genetic modification may include cell washing and/or resuspension in a desired nucleofection buffer. Cryopreserved T-cell compositions may be thawed and prepared for genetic modification by nucleofection. Cryopreserved cells may be thawed according to standard or known protocols. Thawing and preparation of cryopreserved cells may be optimized to yield cells that have greater viability, nucleofect with higher efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. For example, Grifols Albutein (25% human albumin) may be used in the thawing and/or preparation process.
(677) Genetic Modification of an Autologous T Cell Product Composition
(678) T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof may be genetically modified using, for example, a nucleofection strategy such as electroporation. The total number of cells to be nucleofected, the total volume of the nucleofection reaction, and the precise timing of the preparation of the sample may be optimized to yield cells that have greater viability, nucleofect with higher efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies.
(679) Nucleofection and/or electroporation may be accomplished using, for example, Lonza Amaxa, MaxCyte PulseAgile, Harvard Apparatus BTX, and/or Invitrogen Neon. Non-metal electrode systems, including, but not limited to, plastic polymer electrodes, may be preferred for nucleofection.
(680) Prior to genetic modification by nucleofection, T cell compositions, T cell product compositions, unstimulated T cell compositions, resting T cell compositions or any portion thereof may be resuspended in a nucleofection buffer. Nucleofection buffers of the disclosure include commercially available nucleofection buffers. Nucleofection buffers of the disclosure may be optimized to yield cells that have greater viability, nucleofect with higher efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. Nucleofection buffers of the disclosure may include, but are not limited to, PBS, HBSS, OptiMEM, BTXpress, Amaxa Nucleofector, Human T cell nucleofection buffer and any combination thereof. Nucleofection buffers of the disclosure may comprise one or more supplemental factors to yield cells that have greater viability, nucleofect with higher efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. Exemplary supplemental factors include, but are not limited to, recombinant human cytokines, chemokines, interleukins and any combination thereof. Exemplary cytokines, chemokines, and interleukins include, but are not limited to, IL2, IL7, IL12, IL15, IL21, IL1, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL8, CXCL8, IL9, IL10, IL11, IL13, IL14, IL16, IL17, IL18, IL19, IL20, IL22, IL23, IL25, IL26, IL27, IL28, IL29, IL30, IL31, IL32, IL33, IL35, IL36, GM-CSF, IFN-gamma, IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1, IL-1 beta/IL-1F2, IL-12 p70, IL-12/IL-35 p35, IL-13, IL-17/IL-17A, IL-17A/F Heterodimer, IL-17F, IL-18/IL-1F4, IL-23, IL-24, IL-32, IL-32 beta, IL-32 gamma, IL-33, LAP (TGF-beta 1), Lymphotoxin-alpha/TNF-beta, TGF-beta, TNF-alpha, TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L and any combination thereof.

Exemplary supplemental factors include, but are not limited to, reagents that modify or stabilize one or more nucleic acids in a way to enhance cellular delivery, enhance nuclear delivery or transport, enhance the facilitated transport of nucleic acid into the nucleus, enhance degradation of epi-chromosomal nucleic acid, and/or decrease DNA-mediated toxicity. Exemplary reagents that modify or stabilize one or more nucleic acids include, but are not limited to, pH modifiers, DNA-binding proteins, lipids, phospholipids, CaPO4, net neutral charge DNA binding peptides with or without NLS sequences, TREX1 enzyme, and any combination thereof.
(681) Transposition reagents, including a transposon and a transposase, may be added to a nucleofection reaction of the disclosure prior to, simultaneously with, or after an addition of cells to a nucleofection buffer (optionally, contained within a nucleofection reaction vial or cuvette). Transposons of the disclosure may comprise plasmid DNA, linearized plasmid DNA, a PCR product, DOGGYBONE DNA, an mRNA template, a single or double-stranded DNA, a protein-nucleic acid combination or any combination thereof. Transposons of the disclosure may comprised one or more sequences that encode one or more TTAA site(s), one or more inverted terminal repeat(s) (ITRs), one or more long terminal repeat(s) (LTRs), one or more insulator(s), one or more promotor(s), one or more full-length or truncated gene(s), one or more polyA signal(s), one or more self-cleaving 2A peptide cleavage site(s), one or more internal ribosome entry site(s) (IRES), one or more enhancer(s), one or more regulator(s), one or more replication origin(s), and any combination thereof.
(682) Transposons of the disclosure may comprise one or more sequences that encode one or more full-length or truncated gene(s). Full-length and/or truncated gene(s) introduced by transposons of the disclosure may encode one or more of a signal peptide, a VCAR, a single chain variable fragment (scFv), a hinge, a transmembrane domain, a costimulatory domain, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), a VCAR, a chimeric T-cell receptor (CAR-T or VCAR-T), a receptor, a ligand, a cytokine, a drug resistance gene, a tumor antigen, an allo or auto antigen, an enzyme, a protein, a peptide, a poly-peptide, a fluorescent protein, a mutein or any combination thereof.
(683) Transposons of the disclosure may be prepared in water, TAE, TBE, PBS, HBSS, media, a supplemental factor of the disclosure or any combination thereof.
(684) Transposons of the disclosure may be designed to optimize clinical safety and/or improve manufacturability. As a non-limiting example, transposons of the disclosure may be designed to optimize clinical safety and/or improve manufacturability by eliminating unnecessary sequences or regions and/or including a non-antibiotic selection marker. Transposons of the disclosure may or may not be GMP grade.
(685) Transposase enzymes of the disclosure may be encoded by one or more sequences of plasmid DNA, mRNA, protein, protein-nucleic acid combination or any combination thereof.
(686) Transposase enzymes of the disclosure may be prepared in water, TAE, TBE, PBS, HBSS, media, a supplemental factor of the disclosure or any combination thereof. Transposase enzymes of the disclosure or the sequences/constructs encoding or delivering them may or may not be GMP grade.
(687) Transposons and transposase enzymes of the disclosure may be delivered to a cell by any means.
(688) Although compositions and methods of the disclosure include delivery of a transposon and/or transposase of the disclosure to a cell by plasmid DNA (pDNA), the use of a plasmid for delivery may allow the transposon and/or transposase to be integrated into the chromosomal DNA of the cell, which may lead to continued transposase expression. Accordingly, transposon and/or transposase enzymes of the disclosure may be delivered to a cell as either mRNA or protein to remove any possibility for chromosomal integration.
(689) Transposons and transposases of the disclosure may be pre-incubated alone or in combination with one another prior to the introduction of the transposon and/or transposase into a nucleofection reaction. The absolute amounts of each of the transposon and the transposase, as well as the relative amounts, e.g., a ratio of transposon to transposase may be optimized.
(690) Following preparation of nucleofection reaction, optionally, in a vial or cuvette, the reaction may be loaded into a nucleofector apparatus and activated for delivery of an electric pulse according to the manufacturer's protocol. Electric pulse conditions used for delivery of a transposon and/or a transposase of the disclosure (or a sequence encoding a transposon and/or a transposase of the disclosure) to a cell may be optimized for yielding cells with enhanced viability, higher nucleofection efficiency, greater viability post-nucleofection, desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. When using Amaxa nucleofector technology, each of the various nucleofection programs for the Amaxa 2B or 4D nucleofector are contemplated.
(691) Following a nucleofection reaction of the disclosure, cells may be gently added to a cell medium. For example, when T cells undergo the nucleofection reaction, the T cells may be added to a T cell medium. Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure may comprise any one or more commercially-available media. Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell media of the disclosure) may be optimized to yield cells with greater viability, higher nucleofection efficiency, exhibit greater viability post-nucleofection, display a more desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies.

Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell media of the disclosure) may comprise one or more supplemental factors of the disclosure to enhance viability, nucleofection efficiency, viability post-nucleofection, cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. Exemplary supplemental factors include, but are not limited to, recombinant human cytokines, chemokines, interleukins and any combination thereof.

(692) Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell media of the disclosure) may be used at room temperature or pre-warmed to, for example to between 32 C. to 37 C., inclusive of the endpoints. Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell media of the disclosure) may be pre-warmed to any temperature that maintains or enhances cell viability and/or expression of a transposon or portion thereof of the disclosure.
(693) Post-nucleofection cell media of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell media of the disclosure) may be contained in tissue culture flasks or dishes, G-Rex flasks, Bioreactor or cell culture bags, or any other standard receptacle. Post-nucleofection cell cultures of the disclosure (including post-nucleofection T cell cultures of the disclosure) may be may be kept still, or, alternatively, they may be perturbed (e.g., rocked, swirled, or shaken).
(694) Post-nucleofection cell cultures may comprise genetically-modified cells. Post-nucleofection T cell cultures may comprise genetically-modified T cells. Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be either rested for a defined period of time or stimulated for expansion by, for example, the addition of a T Cell Expander technology. In certain embodiments, genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be either rested for a defined period of time or immediately stimulated for expansion by, for example, the addition of a T Cell Expander technology. Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested to allow them sufficient time to acclimate, time for transposition to occur, and/or time for positive or negative selection, resulting in cells with enhanced viability, higher nucleofection efficiency, greater viability post-nucleofection, desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies. Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or more hours. In certain embodiments, genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for an overnight. In certain aspects, an overnight is about 12 hours. Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or more days.
(695) Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be selected following a nucleofection reaction and prior to addition of an expander technology. For optimal selection of genetically-modified cells, the cells may be allowed to rest in a post-nucleofection cell medium for at least 2-14 days to facilitate identification of modified cells (e.g., differentiation of modified from non-modified cells).
(696) As early as 24-hours post-nucleofection, expression of a CAR/VCAR and selection marker of the disclosure may be detectable in modified T cells upon successful nucleofection of a transposon of the disclosure. Due to epi-chromosomal expression of the transposon, expression of a selection marker alone may not differentiate modified T cells (those cells in which the transposon has been successfully integrated) from unmodified T cells (those cells in which the transposon was not successfully integrated). When epi-chromosomal expression of the transposon obscures the detection of modified cells by the selection marker, the nucleofected cells (both modified and unmodified cells) may be rested for a period of time (e.g., 2-14 days) to allow the cells to cease expression or lose all epi-chromosomal transposon expression. Following this extended resting period, only modified T cells should remain positive for expression of selection marker. The length of this extended resting period may be optimized for each nucleofection reaction and selection process. When epi-chromosomal expression of the transposon obscures the detection of modified cells by the selection marker, selection may be performed without this extended resting period, however, an additional selection step may be included at a later time point (e.g., either during or after the expansion stage).
(697) Selection of genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be performed by any means. In certain embodiments of the methods of the disclosure, selection of genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be performed by isolating cells expressing a specific selection marker. Selection markers of the disclosure may be encoded by one or more sequences in the transposon. Selection markers of the disclosure may be expressed by the modified cell as a result of successful transposition (i.e., not encoded by one or more sequences in the transposon). In certain embodiments, genetically modified cells of the disclosure contain a selection marker that confers resistance to a deleterious compound of the post-nucleofection cell medium. The deleterious compound may comprise, for example, an antibiotic or a drug that, absent the resistance conferred by the selection marker to the modified cells, would result in cell death. Exemplary selection markers include, but are not limited to, wild type (WT) or mutant forms of one or more of the following genes: neo, DHFR, TYMS, ALDH, MDR1, MGMT, FANCF, RAD51C, GCS, and NKX2.2. Exemplary selection markers include, but are not limited to, a surface-expressed selection marker or surface-expressed tag may be targeted by Ab-coated magnetic bead technology or column selection, respectively. A cleavable tag such as those used in protein purification may be added to a selection marker of the disclosure for efficient column selection, washing, and elution. In certain embodiments, selection markers of the disclosure are not expressed by the modified cells (including modified T cells) endogenously and, therefore, may be useful in the physical isolation of modified cells (by, for example, cell sorting techniques). Exemplary selection markers of the disclosure are not expressed by the modified cells (including modified T cells) endogenously include, but are not limited to, full-length, mutated, or truncated forms of CD271, CD19 CD52, CD34, RQR8, CD22, CD20, CD33 and any combination thereof.
(698) Genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be selective expanded following a nucleofection reaction. In certain embodiments, modified T cells comprising a VCAR may be selectively expanded by VCAR stimulation. Modified T cells comprising a VCAR may be stimulated by contact with a target-covered reagent (e.g., a tumor line or a normal cell line expressing a target or expander beads covered in a target). Alternatively, modified T cells comprising a VCAR may be stimulated by contact with an irradiated tumor cell, an irradiated allogeneic normal cell, an irradiated autologous PBMC. To minimize contamination of cell product compositions of the disclosure with a target-expressing cell used for stimulation, for example, when the cell product composition may be administered directly to a subject, the stimulation may be performed using expander beads coated with VCAR target protein. Selective expansion of modified T cells comprising a VCAR by VCAR stimulation may be optimized to avoid functionally-exhausting the modified T-cells.
(699) Selected genetically-modified cells of the disclosure may be cryopreserved, rested for a defined period of time, or stimulated for expansion by the addition of a Cell Expander technology. Selected genetically-modified cells of the disclosure may be cryopreserved, rested for a defined period of time, or immediately stimulated for expansion by the addition of a Cell Expander technology. When the selected genetically-modified cells are T cells, the T cells may be stimulated for expansion by the addition of a T-Cell Expander technology. Selected genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or more hours. In certain embodiments, selected genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for an overnight. In certain aspects, an overnight is about 12 hours. Selected genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested, for example, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or more days. Selected genetically modified cells of the disclosure may be rested for any period of time resulting in cells with enhanced viability, higher nucleofection efficiency, greater viability post-nucleofection, desirable cell phenotype, and/or greater/faster expansion upon addition of expansion technologies.
(700) Selected genetically-modified cells (including selected genetically-modified T cells of the disclosure) may be cryopreserved using any standard cryopreservation method, which may be optimized for storing and/or recovering human cells with high recovery, viability, phenotype, and/or functional capacity. Cryopreservation methods of the disclosure may include commercially-available cryopreservation media and/or protocols.
(701) A transposition efficiency of selected genetically-modified cells (including selected genetically-modified T cells of the disclosure) may be assessed by any means. For example, prior to the application of an expander technology, expression of the transposon by selected genetically-modified cells (including selected genetically-modified T cells of the disclosure) may be measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Determination of a transposition efficiency of selected genetically-modified cells (including selected genetically-modified T cells of the disclosure) may include determining a percentage of selected cells expressing the transposon (e.g., a VCAR). Alternatively, or in addition, a purity of T cells, a Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) of the transposon expression (e.g., CAR expression), an ability of a VCAR (delivered in the transposon) to mediate degranulation and/or killing of a target cell expressing the VCAR ligand, and/or a phenotype of selected genetically-modified cells (including selected genetically-modified T cells of the disclosure) may be assessed by any means.
(702) Cell product compositions of the disclosure may be released for administration to a subject upon meeting certain release criteria. Exemplary release criteria may include, but are not limited to, a particular percentage of modified, selected and/or expanded T cells expressing detectable levels of a VCAR on the cell surface.
(703) Genetic Modification of an Autologous T Cell Product Composition
(704) Genetically-modified cells (including genetically-modified T cells) of the disclosure may be expanded using an expander technology. Expander technologies of the disclosure may comprise a commercially-available expander technology. Exemplary expander technologies of the disclosure include stimulation a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure via the TCR. While all means for stimulation of a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure are contemplated, stimulation a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure via the TCR is a preferred method, yielding a product with a superior level of killing capacity.
(705) To stimulate a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure via the TCR, Thermo Expander DynaBeads may be used at a 3:1 bead to T cell ratio. If the expander beads are not biodegradable, the beads may be removed from the expander composition. For example, the beads may be removed from the expander composition after about 5 days. To stimulate a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure via the TCR, a Miltenyi T Cell Activation/Expansion Reagent may be used. To stimulate a genetically-modified T cell of the disclosure via the TCR, StemCell Technologies' ImmunoCult Human CD3/CD28 or CD3/CD28/CD2 T Cell Activator Reagent may be used. This technology may be preferred since the soluble tetrameric antibody complexes would degrade after a period and would not require removal from the process.
(706) Artificial antigen presenting cells (APCs) may be engineered to co-express the target antigen and may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure. Artificial APCs may comprise or may be derived from a tumor cell line (including, for example, the immortalized myelogenous leukemia line K562) and may be engineered to co-express multiple costimulatory molecules or technologies (such as CD28, 4-1BBL, CD64, mbIL-21, mbIL-15, CAR target molecule, etc.). When artificial APCs of the disclosure are combined with costimulatory molecules, conditions may be optimized to prevent the development or emergence of an undesirable phenotype and functional capacity, namely terminally-differentiated effector T cells.
(707) Irradiated PBMCs (auto or allo) may express some target antigens, such as CD19, and may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure. Alternatively, or in addition, irradiated tumor cells may express some target antigens and may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure.
(708) Plate-bound and/or soluble anti-CD3, anti-CD2 and/or anti-CD28 stimulate may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure.
(709) Antigen-coated beads may display target protein and may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure. Alternatively, or in addition, expander beads coated with a VCAR target protein may be used to stimulate a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through a TCR and/or VCAR of the disclosure.
(710) Expansion methods drawn to stimulation of a cell or T-cell of the disclosure through the TCR or VCAR and via surface-expressed CD2, CD3, CD28, 4-1BB, and/or other markers on genetically-modified T cells.
(711) An expansion technology may be applied to a cell of the disclosure immediately post-nucleofection until approximately 24 hours post-nucleofection. While various cell media may be used during an expansion procedure, a desirable T Cell Expansion Media of the disclosure may yield cells with, for example, greater viability, cell phenotype, total expansion, or greater capacity for in vivo persistence, engraftment, and/or CAR-mediated killing. Cell media of the disclosure may be optimized to improve/enhance expansion, phenotype, and function of genetically-modified cells of the disclosure. A preferred phenotype of expanded T cells may include a mixture of T stem cell memory, T central, and T effector memory cells. Expander Dynabeads may yield mainly central memory T cells which may lead to superior performance in the clinic.
(712) Exemplary T cell expansion media of the disclosure may include, in part or in total, PBS, HBSS, OptiMEM, DMEM, RPMI 1640, AIM-V, X-VIVO 15, CellGro DC Medium, CTS OpTimizer T Cell Expansion SFM, TexMACS Medium, PRIME-XV T Cell Expansion Medium, ImmunoCult-XF T Cell Expansion Medium, or any combination thereof. T cell expansion media of the disclosure may further include one or more supplemental factors. Supplemental factors that may be included in a T cell expansion media of the disclosure enhance viability, cell phenotype, total expansion, or increase capacity for in vivo persistence, engraftment, and/or VCAR-mediated killing. Supplemental factors that may be included in a T cell expansion media of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, recombinant human cytokines, chemokines, and/or interleukins such as IL2, IL7, IL12, IL15, IL21, IL1, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL8, CXCL8, IL9, IL10, IL11, IL13, IL14, IL16, IL17, IL18, IL19,IL20,IL22,IL23,IL25,IL26,IL27,IL28,IL29,IL30,IL31,IL32,IL33,IL35,IL36, GM-CSF, IFN-gamma, IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1, IL-1 beta/IL-1F2, IL-12 p70, IL-12/IL-35 p35, IL-13, IL-17/IL-17A, IL-17A/F Heterodimer, IL-17F, IL-18/IL-1F4, IL-23, IL-24, IL-32, IL-32 beta, IL-32 gamma, IL-33, LAP (TGF-beta 1), Lymphotoxin-alpha/TNF-beta, TGF-beta, TNF-alpha, TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L, or any combination thereof.

Supplemental factors that may be included in a T cell expansion media of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, inhibitors of cellular DNA sensing, metabolism, differentiation, signal transduction, and/or the apoptotic pathway such as inhibitors of TLR9, MyD88, IRAK, TRAF6, TRAF3, IRF-7, NF-KB, Type 1 Interferons, pro-inflammatory cytokines, cGAS, STING, Sec5, TBK1, IRF-3, RNA pol III, RIG-1, IPS-1, FADD, RIP1, TRAF3, AIM2, ASC, Caspase1, Pro-IL1B, PI3K, Akt, Wnt3A, inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) (e.g., TWS119), Bafilomycin, Chloroquine, Quinacrine, AC-YVAD-CMK, Z-VAD-FMK, Z-IETD-FMK, or any combination thereof.
(713) Supplemental factors that may be included in a T cell expansion media of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, reagents that modify or stabilize nucleic acids in a way to enhance cellular delivery, enhance nuclear delivery or transport, enhance the facilitated transport of nucleic acid into the nucleus, enhance degradation of epi-chromosomal nucleic acid, and/or decrease DNA-mediated toxicity, such as pH modifiers, DNA-binding proteins, lipids, phospholipids, CaPO4, net neutral charge DNA binding peptides with or without NLS sequences, TREX1 enzyme, or any combination thereof.
(714) Genetically-modified cells of the disclosure may be selected during the expansion process by the use of selectable drugs or compounds. For example, in certain embodiments, when a transposon of the disclosure may encode a selection marker that confers to genetically-modified cells resistance to a drug added to the culture medium, selection may occur during the expansion process and may require approximately 1-14 days of culture for selection to occur. Examples of drug resistance genes that may be used as selection markers encoded by a transposon of the disclosure, include, but are not limited to, wild type (WT) or mutant forms of the genes neo, DHFR, TYMS, ALDH, MDR1, MGMT, FANCF, RAD51C, GCS, NKX2.2, or any combination thereof. Examples of corresponding drugs or compounds that may be added to the culture medium to which a selection marker may confer resistance include, but are not limited to, G418, Puromycin, Ampicillin, Kanamycin, Methotrexate, Mephalan, Temozolomide, Vincristine, Etoposide, Doxorubicin, Bendamustine, Fludarabine, Aredia (Pamidronate Disodium), Becenum (Carmustine), BiCNU (Carmustine), Bortezomib, Carfilzomib, Carmubris (Carmustine), Carmustine, Clafen (Cyclophosphamide), Cyclophosphamide, Cytoxan (Cyclophosphamide), Daratumumab, Darzalex (Daratumumab), Doxil (Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome), Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome, Dox-SL (Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome), Elotuzumab, Empliciti (Elotuzumab), Evacet (Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome), Farydak (Panobinostat), Ixazomib Citrate, Kyprolis (Carfilzomib), Lenalidomide, LipoDox (Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome), Mozobil (Plerixafor), Neosar (Cyclophosphamide), Ninlaro (Ixazomib Citrate), Pamidronate Disodium, Panobinostat, Plerixafor, Pomalidomide, Pomalyst (Pomalidomide), Revlimid (Lenalidomide), Synovir (Thalidomide), Thalidomide, Thalomid (Thalidomide), Velcade (Bortezomib), Zoledronic Acid, Zometa (Zoledronic Acid), or any combination thereof.
(715) A T-Cell Expansion process of the disclosure may occur in a cell culture bag in a WAVE Bioreactor, a G-Rex flask, or in any other suitable container and/or reactor.
(716) A cell or T-cell culture of the disclosure may be kept steady, rocked, swirled, or shaken.
(717) A cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may optimize certain conditions, including, but not limited to culture duration, cell concentration, schedule for T cell medium addition/removal, cell size, total cell number, cell phenotype, purity of cell population, percentage of genetically-modified cells in growing cell population, use and composition of supplements, the addition/removal of expander technologies, or any combination thereof.
(718) A cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may continue until a predefined endpoint prior to formulation of the resultant expanded cell population. For example, a cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may continue for a predetermined amount of time: at least, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 hours; at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 days; at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 weeks; at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, months, or at least 1 year. A cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may continue until the resultant culture reaches a predetermined overall cell density: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 1010 cells per volume (l, ml, L) or any density in between. A cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may continue until the genetically-modified cells of a resultant culture demonstrate a predetermined level of expression of a transposon of the disclosure: 1%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% or any percentage in between of a threshold level of expression (a minimum, maximum or mean level of expression indicating the resultant genetically-modified cells are clinically-efficacious). A cell or T-cell expansion process of the disclosure may continue until the proportion of genetically-modified cells of a resultant culture to the proportion of unmodified cells reaches a predetermined threshold: at least 1:10, 1:9, 1:8, 1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 2:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1 10:1 or any ratio in between.
(719) Analysis of Genetically-Modified Autologous T Cells for Release
(720) A percentage of genetically-modified cells may be assessed during or after an expansion process of the disclosure. Cellular expression of a transposon by a genetically-modified cell of the disclosure may be measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). For example, FACS may be used to determine a percentage of cells or T cells expressing a VCAR of the disclosure. Alternatively, or in addition, a purity of genetically-modified cells or T cells, the Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) of a VCAR expressed by a genetically-modified cell or T cell of the disclosure, an ability of the VCAR to mediate degranulation and/or killing of a target cell expressing the VCAR ligand, and/or a phenotype of VCAR+ T cells may be assessed.
(721) Compositions of the disclosure intended for administration to a subject may be required to meet one or more release criteria that indicate that the composition is safe and efficacious for formulation as a pharmaceutical product and/or administration to a subject. Release criteria may include a requirement that a composition of the disclosure (e.g., a T-cell product of the disclosure) comprises a particular percentage of T cells expressing detectable levels of a VCAR of the disclosure on their cell surface.
(722) The expansion process should be continued until a specific criterion has been met (e.g., achieving a certain total number of cells, achieving a particular population of memory cells, achieving a population of a specific size).
(723) Certain criterion signal a point at which the expansion process should end. For example, cells should be formulated, reactivated, or cryopreserved once they reach a cell size of 300 fL (otherwise, cells reaching a size above this threshold may start to die). Cryopreservation immediately once a population of cells reaches an average cell size of less than 300 fL may yield better cell recovery upon thawing and culture because the cells haven't yet reached a fully quiescent state prior to cryopreservation (a fully quiescent size is approximately 180 fL). Prior to expansion, T cells of the disclosure may have a cell size of about 180 fL, but may more than quadruple their cell size to approximately 900 fL at 3 days post-expansion. Over the next 6-12 days, the population of T-cells will slowly decrease cell size to full quiescence at 180 fL.
(724) A process for preparing a cell population for formulation may include, but is not limited to the steps of, concentrating the cells of the cell population, washing the cells, and/or further selection of the cells via drug resistance or magnetic bead sorting against a particular surface-expressed marker. A process for preparing a cell population for formulation may further include a sorting step to ensure the safety and purity of the final product. For example, if a tumor cell from a patient has been used to stimulate a genetically-modified T-cell of the disclosure or that have been genetically-modified in order to stimulate a genetically-modified T-cell of the disclosure that is being prepared for formulation, it is critical that no tumor cells from the patient are included in the final product.
(725) Cell Product Infusion and/or Cryopreservation for Infusion
(726) A pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure may be distributed into bags for infusion, cryopreservation, and/or storage.
(727) A pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure may be cryopreserved using a standard protocol and, optionally, an infusible cryopreservation medium. For example, a DMSO free cryopreservant (e.g., CryoSOfree DMSO-free Cryopreservation Medium) may be used to reduce freezing-related toxicity. A cryopreserved pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure may be stored for infusion to a patient at a later date. An effective treatment may require multiple administrations of a pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure and, therefore, pharmaceutical formulations may be packaged in pre-aliquoted doses that may be stored frozen but separated for thawing of individual doses.
(728) A pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure may be stored at room temperature. An effective treatment may require multiple administrations of a pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure and, therefore, pharmaceutical formulations may be packaged in pre-aliquoted doses that may be stored together but separated for administration of individual doses.
(729) A pharmaceutical formulation of the disclosure may be archived for subsequent re-expansion and/or selection for generation of additional doses to the same patient in the case of an allogenic therapy who may need an administration at a future date following, for example, a remission and relapse of a condition.
(730) Formulations
(731) As noted above, the disclosure provides for stable formulations, which preferably comprise a phosphate buffer with saline or a chosen salt, as well as preserved solutions and formulations containing a preservative as well as multi-use preserved formulations suitable for pharmaceutical or veterinary use, comprising at least one VCAR in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation. Preserved formulations contain at least one known preservative or optionally selected from the group consisting of at least one phenol, m-cresol, p-cresol, o-cresol, chlorocresol, benzyl alcohol, phenylmercuric nitrite, phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde, chlorobutanol, magnesium chloride (e.g., hexahydrate), alkylparaben (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and the like), benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, sodium dehydroacetate and thimerosal, polymers, or mixtures thereof in an aqueous diluent. Any suitable concentration or mixture can be used as known in the art, such as about 0.0015%, or any range, value, or fraction therein. Non-limiting examples include, no preservative, about 0.1-2% m-cresol (e.g., 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.9, 1.0%), about 0.1-3% benzyl alcohol (e.g., 0.5, 0.9, 1.1, 1.5, 1.9, 2.0, 2.5%), about 0.001-0.5% thimerosal (e.g., 0.005, 0.01), about 0.001-2.0% phenol (e.g., 0.05, 0.25, 0.28, 0.5, 0.9, 1.0%), 0.0005-1.0% alkylparaben(s) (e.g., 0.00075, 0.0009, 0.001, 0.002, 0.005, 0.0075, 0.009, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.075, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.75, 0.9, 1.0%), and the like.
(732) As noted above, the invention provides an article of manufacture, comprising packaging material and at least one vial comprising a solution of at least one VCAR with the prescribed buffers and/or preservatives, optionally in an aqueous diluent, wherein said packaging material comprises a label that indicates that such solution can be held over a period of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72 hours or greater. The invention further comprises an article of manufacture, comprising packaging material, a first vial comprising lyophilized at least one VCAR, and a second vial comprising an aqueous diluent of prescribed buffer or preservative, wherein said packaging material comprises a label that instructs a patient to reconstitute the at least one VCAR in the aqueous diluent to form a solution that can be held over a period of twenty-four hours or greater.
(733) The at least one VCAR used in accordance with the present invention can be produced by recombinant means, including from mammalian cell or transgenic preparations, or can be purified from other biological sources, as described herein or as known in the art.
(734) The range of at least one VCAR in the product of the present invention includes amounts yielding upon reconstitution, if in a wet/dry system, concentrations from about 1.0 pg/ml to about 1000 mg/ml, although lower and higher concentrations are operable and are dependent on the intended delivery vehicle, e.g., solution formulations will differ from transdermal patch, pulmonary, transmucosal, or osmotic or micro pump methods.
(735) Preferably, the aqueous diluent optionally further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable preservative. Preferred preservatives include those selected from the group consisting of phenol, m-cresol, p-cresol, o-cresol, chlorocresol, benzyl alcohol, alkylparaben (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and the like), benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, sodium dehydroacetate and thimerosal, or mixtures thereof. The concentration of preservative used in the formulation is a concentration sufficient to yield an anti-microbial effect. Such concentrations are dependent on the preservative selected and are readily determined by the skilled artisan.
(736) Other excipients, e.g., isotonicity agents, buffers, antioxidants, and preservative enhancers, can be optionally and preferably added to the diluent. An isotonicity agent, such as glycerin, is commonly used at known concentrations. A physiologically tolerated buffer is preferably added to provide improved pH control. The formulations can cover a wide range of pHs, such as from about pH 4 to about pH 10, and preferred ranges from about pH 5 to about pH 9, and a most preferred range of about 6.0 to about 8.0. Preferably, the formulations of the present invention have a pH between about 6.8 and about 7.8. Preferred buffers include phosphate buffers, most preferably, sodium phosphate, particularly, phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
(737) Other additives, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable solubilizers like Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate), Tween 40 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate), Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate), Pluronic F68 (polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block copolymers), and PEG (polyethylene glycol) or non-ionic surfactants, such as polysorbate 20 or 80 or poloxamer 184 or 188, Pluronic polyls, other block co-polymers, and chelators, such as EDTA and EGTA, can optionally be added to the formulations or compositions to reduce aggregation. These additives are particularly useful if a pump or plastic container is used to administer the formulation. The presence of pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant mitigates the propensity for the protein to aggregate.
(738) The formulations of the present invention can be prepared by a process which comprises mixing at least one VCAR and a preservative selected from the group consisting of phenol, m-cresol, p-cresol, o-cresol, chlorocresol, benzyl alcohol, alkylparaben, (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and the like), benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, sodium dehydroacetate and thimerosal or mixtures thereof in an aqueous diluent. Mixing the at least one VCAR and preservative in an aqueous diluent is carried out using conventional dissolution and mixing procedures. To prepare a suitable formulation, for example, a measured amount of at least one VCAR in buffered solution is combined with the desired preservative in a buffered solution in quantities sufficient to provide the protein and preservative at the desired concentrations. Variations of this process would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the order the components are added, whether additional additives are used, the temperature and pH at which the formulation is prepared, are all factors that can be optimized for the concentration and means of administration used.
(739) The claimed formulations can be provided to patients as clear solutions or as dual vials comprising a vial of lyophilized at least one VCAR that is reconstituted with a second vial containing water, a preservative and/or excipients, preferably, a phosphate buffer and/or saline and a chosen salt, in an aqueous diluent. Either a single solution vial or dual vial requiring reconstitution can be reused multiple times and can suffice for a single or multiple cycles of patient treatment and thus can provide a more convenient treatment regimen than currently available.
(740) The present claimed articles of manufacture are useful for administration over a period ranging from immediate to twenty-four hours or greater. Accordingly, the presently claimed articles of manufacture offer significant advantages to the patient. Formulations of the invention can optionally be safely stored at temperatures of from about 2 C. to about 40 C. and retain the biological activity of the protein for extended periods of time, thus allowing a package label indicating that the solution can be held and/or used over a period of 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, or 96 hours or greater. If preserved diluent is used, such label can include use up to 1-12 months, one-half, one and a half, and/or two years.
(741) The solutions of at least one VCAR of the invention can be prepared by a process that comprises mixing at least one VCAR in an aqueous diluent. Mixing is carried out using conventional dissolution and mixing procedures. To prepare a suitable diluent, for example, a measured amount of at least one VCAR in water or buffer is combined in quantities sufficient to provide the protein and, optionally, a preservative or buffer at the desired concentrations. Variations of this process would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the order the components are added, whether additional additives are used, the temperature and pH at which the formulation is prepared, are all factors that can be optimized for the concentration and means of administration used.
(742) The claimed products can be provided to patients as clear solutions or as dual vials comprising a vial of lyophilized at least one VCAR that is reconstituted with a second vial containing the aqueous diluent. Either a single solution vial or dual vial requiring reconstitution can be reused multiple times and can suffice for a single or multiple cycles of patient treatment and thus provides a more convenient treatment regimen than currently available.
(743) The claimed products can be provided indirectly to patients by providing to pharmacies, clinics, or other such institutions and facilities, clear solutions or dual vials comprising a vial of lyophilized at least one VCAR that is reconstituted with a second vial containing the aqueous diluent. The clear solution in this case can be up to one liter or even larger in size, providing a large reservoir from which smaller portions of the at least one VCAR solution can be retrieved one or multiple times for transfer into smaller vials and provided by the pharmacy or clinic to their customers and/or patients.
(744) Recognized devices comprising single vial systems include pen-injector devices for delivery of a solution, such as BD Pens, BD Autojector, Humaject, NovoPen, B-D Pen, AutoPen, and OptiPen, GenotropinPen, Genotronorm Pen, Humatro Pen, Reco-Pen, Roferon Pen, Biojector, Iject, J-tip Needle-Free Injector, Intraject, Medi-Ject, e.g., as made or developed by Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes, N.J., www.bectondickenson.com), Disetronic (Burgdorf, Switzerland, www.disetronic.com; Bioject, Portland, Oreg. (www.bioject.com); National Medical Products, Weston Medical (Peterborough, UK, www.weston-medical.com), Medi-Ject Corp (Minneapolis, Minn., www.mediject.com), and similarly suitable devices. Recognized devices comprising a dual vial system include those pen-injector systems for reconstituting a lyophilized drug in a cartridge for delivery of the reconstituted solution, such as the HumatroPen. Examples of other devices suitable include pre-filled syringes, auto-injectors, needle free injectors and needle free IV infusion sets.
(745) The products presently claimed include packaging material. The packaging material provides, in addition to the information required by the regulatory agencies, the conditions under which the product can be used. The packaging material of the present invention provides instructions to the patient to reconstitute at least one VCAR in the aqueous diluent to form a solution and to use the solution over a period of 2-24 hours or greater for the two vial, wet/dry, product. For the single vial, solution product, the label indicates that such solution can be used over a period of 2-24 hours or greater. The presently claimed products are useful for human pharmaceutical product use.
(746) The formulations of the present invention can be prepared by a process that comprises mixing at least one VCAR and a selected buffer, preferably, a phosphate buffer containing saline or a chosen salt. Mixing at least one VCAR and buffer in an aqueous diluent is carried out using conventional dissolution and mixing procedures. To prepare a suitable formulation, for example, a measured amount of at least one VCAR in water or buffer is combined with the desired buffering agent in water in quantities sufficient to provide the protein and buffer at the desired concentrations. Variations of this process would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the order the components are added, whether additional additives are used, the temperature and pH at which the formulation is prepared, are all factors that can be optimized for the concentration and means of administration used.
(747) The claimed stable or preserved formulations can be provided to patients as clear solutions or as dual vials comprising a vial of lyophilized VCAR that is reconstituted with a second vial containing a preservative or buffer and excipients in an aqueous diluent. Either a single solution vial or dual vial requiring reconstitution can be reused multiple times and can suffice for a single or multiple cycles of patient treatment and thus provides a more convenient treatment regimen than currently available.
(748) Other formulations or methods of stabilizing the VCAR may result in other than a clear solution of lyophilized powder comprising the VCAR. Among non-clear solutions are formulations comprising particulate suspensions, said particulates being a composition containing the VCAR in a structure of variable dimension and known variously as a microsphere, microparticle, nanoparticle, nanosphere, or liposome. Such relatively homogenous, essentially spherical, particulate formulations containing an active agent can be formed by contacting an aqueous phase containing the active agent and a polymer and a nonaqueous phase followed by evaporation of the nonaqueous phase to cause the coalescence of particles from the aqueous phase as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,589,330. Porous microparticles can be prepared using a first phase containing active agent and a polymer dispersed in a continuous solvent and removing said solvent from the suspension by freeze-drying or dilution-extraction-precipitation as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,818,542. Preferred polymers for such preparations are natural or synthetic copolymers or polymers selected from the group consisting of gelatin agar, starch, arabinogalactan, albumin, collagen, polyglycolic acid, polylactic aced, glycolide-L() lactide poly(episilon-caprolactone, poly(epsilon-caprolactone-CO-lactic acid), poly(epsilon-caprolactone-CO-glycolic acid), poly(-hydroxy butyric acid), polyethylene oxide, polyethylene, poly(alkyl-2-cyanoacrylate), poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate), polyamides, poly(amino acids), poly(2-hydroxyethyl DL-aspartamide), poly(ester urea), poly(L-phenylalanine/ethylene glycol/1,6-diisocyanatohexane) and poly(methyl methacrylate). Particularly preferred polymers are polyesters, such as polyglycolic acid, polylactic aced, glycolide-L() lactide poly(episilon-caprolactone, poly(epsilon-caprolactone-CO-lactic acid), and poly(epsilon-caprolactone-CO-glycolic acid. Solvents useful for dissolving the polymer and/or the active include: water, hexafluoroisopropanol, methylenechloride, tetrahydrofuran, hexane, benzene, or hexafluoroacetone sesquihydrate. The process of dispersing the active containing phase with a second phase may include pressure forcing said first phase through an orifice in a nozzle to affect droplet formation.
(749) Dry powder formulations may result from processes other than lyophilization, such as by spray drying or solvent extraction by evaporation or by precipitation of a crystalline composition followed by one or more steps to remove aqueous or nonaqueous solvent. Preparation of a spray-dried VCAR preparation is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,019,968. The VCAR-based dry powder compositions may be produced by spray drying solutions or slurries of the VCAR and, optionally, excipients, in a solvent under conditions to provide a respirable dry powder. Solvents may include polar compounds, such as water and ethanol, which may be readily dried. VCAR stability may be enhanced by performing the spray drying procedures in the absence of oxygen, such as under a nitrogen blanket or by using nitrogen as the drying gas. Another relatively dry formulation is a dispersion of a plurality of perforated microstructures dispersed in a suspension medium that typically comprises a hydrofluoroalkane propellant as taught in WO 9916419. The stabilized dispersions may be administered to the lung of a patient using a metered dose inhaler. Equipment useful in the commercial manufacture of spray dried medicaments are manufactured by Buchi Ltd. or Niro Corp.
(750) At least one VCAR in either the stable or preserved formulations or solutions described herein, can be administered to a patient in accordance with the present invention via a variety of delivery methods including SC or IM injection; transdermal, pulmonary, transmucosal, implant, osmotic pump, cartridge, micro pump, or other means appreciated by the skilled artisan, as well-known in the art.
(751) Therapeutic Applications
(752) The present invention also provides a method for modulating or treating a disease, in a cell, tissue, organ, animal, or patient, as known in the art or as described herein, using at least one VCAR of the present invention, e.g., administering or contacting the cell, tissue, organ, animal, or patient with a therapeutic effective amount of VCAR.

A preferred dosage range for the VCAR of the present invention is from about 1 mg/kg, up to about 3, about 6 or about 12 mg/kg of body weight of the patient.
(756) Alternatively, the dosage administered can vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent, and its mode and route of administration; age, health, and weight of the recipient; nature and extent of symptoms, kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of treatment, and the effect desired. Usually a dosage of active ingredient can be about 0.1 to 100 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Ordinarily 0.1 to 50, and preferably, 0.1 to 10 milligrams per kilogram per administration or in sustained release form is effective to obtain desired results.
(757) As a non-limiting example, treatment of humans or animals can be provided as a one-time or periodic dosage of at least one VCAR of the present invention about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg or any range, value or fraction thereof per day, on at least one of day 1-40, or, alternatively or additionally, at least one of week 1-52, or, alternatively or additionally, at least one of 1-20 years, or any combination thereof, using single, infusion or repeated doses.
(758) Dosage forms (composition) suitable for internal administration generally contain from about 0.001 milligram to about 500 milligrams of active ingredient per unit or container. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-99.999% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
(759) For parenteral administration, the VCAR can be formulated as a solution, suspension, emulsion, particle, powder, or lyophilized powder in association, or separately provided, with a pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral vehicle. Examples of such vehicles are water, saline, Ringer's solution, dextrose solution, and about 1-10% human serum albumin. Liposomes and nonaqueous vehicles, such as fixed oils, can also be used. The vehicle or lyophilized powder can contain additives that maintain isotonicity (e.g., sodium chloride, mannitol) and chemical stability (e.g., buffers and preservatives). The formulation is sterilized by known or suitable techniques.
(760) Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in the most recent edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, a standard reference text in this field. Alternative Administration
(761) Many known and developed modes can be used according to the present invention for administering pharmaceutically effective amounts of at least one VCAR according to the present invention. While pulmonary administration is used in the following description, other modes of administration can be used according to the present invention with suitable results. VCARs of the present invention can be delivered in a carrier, as a solution, emulsion, colloid, or suspension, or as a dry powder, using any of a variety of devices and methods suitable for administration by inhalation or other modes described here within or known in the art.
(762) Parenteral Formulations and Administration
(763) Formulations for parenteral administration can contain as common excipients sterile water or saline, polyalkylene glycols, such as polyethylene glycol, oils of vegetable origin, hydrogenated naphthalenes and the like. Aqueous or oily suspensions for injection can be prepared by using an appropriate emulsifier or humidifier and a suspending agent, according to known methods. Agents for injection can be a non-toxic, non-orally administrable diluting agent, such as aqueous solution, a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a solvent. As the usable vehicle or solvent, water, Ringer's solution, isotonic saline, etc. are allowed; as an ordinary solvent or suspending solvent, sterile involatile oil can be used. For these purposes, any kind of involatile oil and fatty acid can be used, including natural or synthetic or semisynthetic fatty oils or fatty acids; natural or synthetic or semisynthtetic mono- or di- or tri-glycerides. Parental administration is known in the art and includes, but is not limited to, conventional means of injections, a gas pressured needle-less injection device as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,851,198, and a laser perforator device as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,839,446 entirely incorporated herein by reference.
(764) Alternative Delivery
(765) The invention further relates to the administration of at least one VCAR by parenteral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, intrabronchial, intraabdominal, intracapsular, intracartilaginous, intracavitary, intracelial, intracerebellar, intracerebroventricular, intracolic, intracervical, intragastric, intrahepatic, intramyocardial, intraosteal, intrapelvic, intrapericardiac, intraperitoneal, intrapleural, intraprostatic, intrapulmonary, intrarectal, intrarenal, intraretinal, intraspinal, intrasynovial, intrathoracic, intrauterine, intravesical, intralesional, bolus, vaginal, rectal, buccal, sublingual, intranasal, or transdermal means. At least one VCAR composition can be prepared for use for parenteral (subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous) or any other administration particularly in the form of liquid solutions or suspensions; for use in vaginal or rectal administration particularly in semisolid forms, such as, but not limited to, creams and suppositories; for buccal, or sublingual administration, such as, but not limited to, in the form of tablets or capsules; or intranasally, such as, but not limited to, the form of powders, nasal drops or aerosols or certain agents; or transdermally, such as not limited to a gel, ointment, lotion, suspension or patch delivery system with chemical enhancers such as dimethyl sulfoxide to either modify the skin structure or to increase the drug concentration in the transdermal patch (Junginger, et al. In Drug Permeation Enhancement; Hsieh, D. S., Eds., pp. 59-90 (Marcel Dekker, Inc. New York 1994, entirely incorporated herein by reference), or with oxidizing agents that enable the application of formulations containing proteins and peptides onto the skin (WO 98/53847), or applications of electric fields to create transient transport pathways, such as electroporation, or to increase the mobility of charged drugs through the skin, such as iontophoresis, or application of ultrasound, such as sonophoresis (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,309,989 and 4,767,402) (the above publications and patents being entirely incorporated herein by reference).
(766) Pulmonary/Nasal Administration
(767) For pulmonary administration, preferably, at least one VCAR composition is delivered in a particle size effective for reaching the lower airways of the lung or sinuses. According to the invention, at least one VCAR can be delivered by any of a variety of inhalation or nasal devices known in the art for administration of a therapeutic agent by inhalation. These devices capable of depositing aerosolized formulations in the sinus cavity or alveoli of a patient include metered dose inhalers, nebulizers, dry powder generators, sprayers, and the like. Other devices suitable for directing the pulmonary or nasal administration of VCARs are also known in the art. All such devices can use formulations suitable for the administration for the dispensing of VCAR in an aerosol. Such aerosols can be comprised of either solutions (both aqueous and nonaqueous) or solid particles.
(768) Metered dose inhalers like the Ventolin metered dose inhaler, typically use a propellant gas and require actuation during inspiration (See, e.g., WO 94/16970, WO 98/35888). Dry powder inhalers like Turbuhaler (Astra), Rotahaler (Glaxo), Diskus (Glaxo), Spiros inhaler (Dura), devices marketed by Inhale Therapeutics, and the Spinhaler powder inhaler (Fisons), use breath-actuation of a mixed powder (U.S. Pat. No. 4,668,218 Astra, EP 237507 Astra, WO 97/25086 Glaxo, WO 94/08552 Dura, U.S. Pat. No. 5,458,135 Inhale, WO 94/06498 Fisons, entirely incorporated herein by reference). Nebulizers like AERx Aradigm, the Ultravent nebulizer (Mallinckrodt), and the Acorn II nebulizer (Marquest Medical Products) (U.S. Pat. No. 5,404,871 Aradigm, WO 97/22376), the above references entirely incorporated herein by reference, produce aerosols from solutions, while metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, etc. generate small particle aerosols. These specific examples of commercially available inhalation devices are intended to be a representative of specific devices suitable for the practice of this invention, and are not intended as limiting the scope of the invention.
(769) Preferably, a composition comprising at least one VCAR is delivered by a dry powder inhaler or a sprayer. There are several desirable features of an inhalation device for administering at least one VCAR of the present invention. For example, delivery by the inhalation device is advantageously reliable, reproducible, and accurate. The inhalation device can optionally deliver small dry particles, e.g., less than about 10 m, preferably about 1-5 m, for good respirability.
(770) Administration of VCAR Compositions as a Spray
(771) A spray including VCAR composition can be produced by forcing a suspension or solution of at least one VCAR through a nozzle under pressure. The nozzle size and configuration, the applied pressure, and the liquid feed rate can be chosen to achieve the desired output and particle size. An electrospray can be produced, for example, by an electric field in connection with a capillary or nozzle feed. Advantageously, particles of at least one VCAR composition delivered by a sprayer have a particle size less than about 10 m, preferably, in the range of about 1 m to about 5 m, and, most preferably, about 2 m to about 3 m.
(772) Formulations of at least one VCAR composition suitable for use with a sprayer typically include VCAR composition in an aqueous solution at a concentration of about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg of at least one VCAR composition per ml of solution or mg/gm, or any range, value, or fraction therein. The formulation can include agents, such as an excipient, a buffer, an isotonicity agent, a preservative, a surfactant, and, preferably, zinc. The formulation can also include an excipient or agent for stabilization of the VCAR composition, such as a buffer, a reducing agent, a bulk protein, or a carbohydrate. Bulk proteins useful in formulating VCAR compositions include albumin, protamine, or the like. Typical carbohydrates useful in formulating VCAR compositions include sucrose, mannitol, lactose, trehalose, glucose, or the like. The VCAR composition formulation can also include a surfactant, which can reduce or prevent surface-induced aggregation of the VCAR composition caused by atomization of the solution in forming an aerosol. Various conventional surfactants can be employed, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters and alcohols, and polyoxyethylene sorbitol fatty acid esters. Amounts will generally range between 0.001 and 14% by weight of the formulation. Especially preferred surfactants for purposes of this invention are polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, or the like. Additional agents known in the art for formulation of a protein, such as VCARs, or specified portions or variants, can also be included in the formulation.
(773) Administration of VCAR Compositions by a Nebulizer
(774) VCAR compositions of the invention can be administered by a nebulizer, such as jet nebulizer or an ultrasonic nebulizer. Typically, in a jet nebulizer, a compressed air source is used to create a high-velocity air jet through an orifice. As the gas expands beyond the nozzle, a low-pressure region is created, which draws a solution of VCAR composition through a capillary tube connected to a liquid reservoir. The liquid stream from the capillary tube is sheared into unstable filaments and droplets as it exits the tube, creating the aerosol. A range of configurations, flow rates, and baffle types can be employed to achieve the desired performance characteristics from a given jet nebulizer. In an ultrasonic nebulizer, high-frequency electrical energy is used to create vibrational, mechanical energy, typically employing a piezoelectric transducer. This energy is transmitted to the formulation of VCAR composition either directly or through a coupling fluid, creating an aerosol including the VCAR composition. Advantageously, particles of VCAR composition delivered by a nebulizer have a particle size less than about 10 m, preferably, in the range of about 1 m to about 5 m, and, most preferably, about 2 m to about 3 m.
(775) Formulations of at least one VCAR suitable for use with a nebulizer, either jet or ultrasonic, typically include a concentration of about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg of at least one VCAR per ml of solution. The formulation can include agents, such as an excipient, a buffer, an isotonicity agent, a preservative, a surfactant, and, preferably, zinc. The formulation can also include an excipient or agent for stabilization of the at least one VCAR composition, such as a buffer, a reducing agent, a bulk protein, or a carbohydrate. Bulk proteins useful in formulating at least one VCAR compositions include albumin, protamine, or the like. Typical carbohydrates useful in formulating at least one VCAR include sucrose, mannitol, lactose, trehalose, glucose, or the like. The at least one VCAR formulation can also include a surfactant, which can reduce or prevent surface-induced aggregation of the at least one VCAR caused by atomization of the solution in forming an aerosol. Various conventional surfactants can be employed, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters and alcohols, and polyoxyethylene sorbital fatty acid esters. Amounts will generally range between about 0.001 and 4% by weight of the formulation. Especially preferred surfactants for purposes of this invention are polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, or the like. Additional agents known in the art for formulation of a protein, such as VCAR, can also be included in the formulation.
(776) Administration of VCAR Compositions by a Metered Dose Inhaler
(777) In a metered dose inhaler (MDI), a propellant, at least one VCAR, and any excipients or other additives are contained in a canister as a mixture including a liquefied compressed gas. Actuation of the metering valve releases the mixture as an aerosol, preferably containing particles in the size range of less than about 10 m, preferably, about 1 m to about 5 m, and, most preferably, about 2 m to about 3 m. The desired aerosol particle size can be obtained by employing a formulation of VCAR composition produced by various methods known to those of skill in the art, including jet-milling, spray drying, critical point condensation, or the like. Preferred metered dose inhalers include those manufactured by 3M or Glaxo and employing a hydrofluorocarbon propellant. Formulations of at least one VCAR for use with a metered-dose inhaler device will generally include a finely divided powder containing at least one VCAR as a suspension in a non-aqueous medium, for example, suspended in a propellant with the aid of a surfactant. The propellant can be any conventional material employed for this purpose, such as chlorofluorocarbon, a hydrochlorofluorocarbon, a hydrofluorocarbon, or a hydrocarbon, including trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethanol and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, HFA-134a (hydrofluoroalkane-134a), HFA-227 (hydrofluoroalkane-227), or the like. Preferably, the propellant is a hydrofluorocarbon. The surfactant can be chosen to stabilize the at least one VCAR as a suspension in the propellant, to protect the active agent against chemical degradation, and the like. Suitable surfactants include sorbitan trioleate, soya lecithin, oleic acid, or the like. In some cases, solution aerosols are preferred using solvents, such as ethanol. Additional agents known in the art for formulation of a protein can also be included in the formulation. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the methods of the current invention can be achieved by pulmonary administration of at least one VCAR composition via devices not described herein.
(778) Oral Formulations and Administration
(779) Formulations for oral administration rely on the co-administration of adjuvants (e.g., resorcinols and nonionic surfactants, such as polyoxyethylene oleyl ether and n-hexadecylpolyethylene ether) to increase artificially the permeability of the intestinal walls, as well as the co-administration of enzymatic inhibitors (e.g., pancreatic trypsin inhibitors, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFF) and trasylol) to inhibit enzymatic degradation. Formulations for delivery of hydrophilic agents including proteins and VCARs and a combination of at least two surfactants intended for oral, buccal, mucosal, nasal, pulmonary, vaginal transmembrane, or rectal administration are taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,309,663. The active constituent compound of the solid-type dosage form for oral administration can be mixed with at least one additive, including sucrose, lactose, cellulose, mannitol, trehalose, raffinose, maltitol, dextran, starches, agar, arginates, chitins, chitosans, pectins, gum tragacanth, gum arabic, gelatin, collagen, casein, albumin, synthetic or semisynthetic polymer, and glyceride. These dosage forms can also contain other type(s) of additives, e.g., inactive diluting agent, lubricant, such as magnesium stearate, paraben, preserving agent, such as sorbic acid, ascorbic acid, .alpha.-tocopherol, antioxidant such as cysteine, disintegrator, binder, thickener, buffering agent, sweetening agent, flavoring agent, perfuming agent, etc.
(780) Tablets and pills can be further processed into enteric-coated preparations. The liquid preparations for oral administration include emulsion, syrup, elixir, suspension and solution preparations allowable for medical use. These preparations can contain inactive diluting agents ordinarily used in said field, e.g., water. Liposomes have also been described as drug delivery systems for insulin and heparin (U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,754). More recently, microspheres of artificial polymers of mixed amino acids (proteinoids) have been used to deliver pharmaceuticals (U.S. Pat. No. 4,925,673). Furthermore, carrier compounds described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,879,681 and 5,871,753 and used to deliver biologically active agents orally are known in the art.
(781) Mucosal Formulations and Administration
(782) A formulation for orally administering a bioactive agent encapsulated in one or more biocompatible polymer or copolymer excipients, preferably, a biodegradable polymer or copolymer, affording microcapsules which due to the proper size of the resultant microcapsules results in the agent reaching and being taken up by the folliculi lymphatic aggregati, otherwise known as the Peyer's patch, or GALT of the animal without loss of effectiveness due to the agent having passed through the gastrointestinal tract. Similar folliculi lymphatic aggregati can be found in the bronchei tubes (BALT) and the large intestine. The above-described tissues are referred to in general as mucosally associated lymphoreticular tissues (MALT). For absorption through mucosal surfaces, compositions and methods of administering at least one VCAR include an emulsion comprising a plurality of submicron particles, a mucoadhesive macromolecule, a bioactive peptide, and an aqueous continuous phase, which promotes absorption through mucosal surfaces by achieving mucoadhesion of the emulsion particles (U.S. Pat. No. 5,514,670). Mucous surfaces suitable for application of the emulsions of the present invention can include corneal, conjunctival, buccal, sublingual, nasal, vaginal, pulmonary, stomachic, intestinal, and rectal routes of administration. Formulations for vaginal or rectal administration, e.g., suppositories, can contain as excipients, for example, polyalkyleneglycols, vaseline, cocoa butter, and the like. Formulations for intranasal administration can be solid and contain as excipients, for example, lactose or can be aqueous or oily solutions of nasal drops. For buccal administration, excipients include sugars, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, pregelinatined starch, and the like (U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,695).
(783) Transdermal Formulations and Administration
(784) For transdermal administration, the at least one VCAR is encapsulated in a delivery device, such as a liposome or polymeric nanoparticles, microparticle, microcapsule, or microspheres (referred to collectively as microparticles unless otherwise stated). A number of suitable devices are known, including microparticles made of synthetic polymers, such as polyhydroxy acids, such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid and copolymers thereof, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, and polyphosphazenes, and natural polymers, such as collagen, polyamino acids, albumin and other proteins, alginate and other polysaccharides, and combinations thereof (U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,599).
(785) Prolonged Administration and Formulations
(786) It can be desirable to deliver the compounds of the present invention to the subject over prolonged periods of time, for example, for periods of one week to one year from a single administration. Various slow release, depot or implant dosage forms can be utilized. For example, a dosage form can contain a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt of the compounds that has a low degree of solubility in body fluids, for example, (a) an acid addition salt with a polybasic acid, such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalene mono- or di-sulfonic acids, polygalacturonic acid, and the like; (b) a salt with a polyvalent metal cation, such as zinc, calcium, bismuth, barium, magnesium, aluminum, copper, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and the like, or with an organic cation formed from e.g., N,N-dibenzyl-ethylenediamine or ethylenediamine; or (c) combinations of (a) and (b), e.g., a zinc tannate salt. Additionally, the compounds of the present invention or, preferably, a relatively insoluble salt, such as those just described, can be formulated in a gel, for example, an aluminum monostearate gel with, e.g., sesame oil, suitable for injection. Particularly preferred salts are zinc salts, zinc tannate salts, pamoate salts, and the like. Another type of slow release depot formulation for injection would contain the compound or salt dispersed for encapsulation in a slow degrading, non-toxic, non-antigenic polymer, such as a polylactic acid/polyglycolic acid polymer for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919. The compounds or, preferably, relatively insoluble salts, such as those described above, can also be formulated in cholesterol matrix silastic pellets, particularly for use in animals. Additional slow release, depot or implant formulations, e.g., gas or liquid liposomes, are known in the literature (U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,222 and Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J. R. Robinson ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., N.Y., 1978).
(787) Infusion of Modified Cells as Adoptive Cell Therapy
(788) The disclosure provides modified cells that express one or more CARs and/or VCARs of the disclosure that have been selected and/or expanded for administration to a subject in need thereof. Modified cells of the disclosure may be formulated for storage at any temperature including room temperature and body temperature. Modified cells of the disclosure may be formulated for cryopreservation and subsequent thawing. Modified cells of the disclosure may be formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for direct administration to a subject from sterile packaging. Modified cells of the disclosure may be formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier with an indicator of cell viability and/or CAR/VCAR expression level to ensure a minimal level of cell function and CAR/VCAR expression. Modified cells of the disclosure may be formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier at a prescribed density with one or more reagents to inhibit further expansion and/or prevent cell death.
(789) Inducible Proapoptotic Polypeptides
(790) Inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure are superior to existing inducible polypeptides because the inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure are far less immunogenic. While inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure are recombinant polypeptides, and, therefore, non-naturally occurring, the sequences that are recombined to produce the inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure do not comprise non-human sequences that the host human immune system could recognize as non-self and, consequently, induce an immune response in the subject receiving an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure, a cell comprising the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide or a composition comprising the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide or the cell comprising the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide.
(791) The disclosure provides inducible proapoptotic polypeptides comprising a ligand binding region, a linker, and a proapoptotic peptide, wherein the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide does not comprise a non-human sequence. In certain embodiments, the non-human sequence comprises a restriction site. In certain embodiments, the proapoptotic peptide is a caspase polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the caspase polypeptide is a caspase 9 polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the caspase 9 polypeptide is a truncated caspase 9 polypeptide. Inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure may be non-naturally occurring.
(792) Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, caspase 1, caspase 2, caspase 3, caspase 4, caspase 5, caspase 6, caspase 7, caspase 8, caspase 9, caspase 10, caspase 11, caspase 12, and caspase 14. Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, those caspase polypeptides associated with apoptosis including caspase 2, caspase 3, caspase 6, caspase 7, caspase 8, caspase 9, and caspase 10. Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, those caspase polypeptides that initiate apoptosis, including caspase 2, caspase 8, caspase 9, and caspase 10. Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, those caspase polypeptides that execute apoptosis, including caspase 3, caspase 6, and caspase 7.
(793) Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may be encoded by an amino acid or a nucleic acid sequence having one or more modifications compared to a wild type amino acid or a nucleic acid sequence. The nucleic acid sequence encoding a caspase polypeptide of the disclosure may be codon optimized. The one or more modifications to an amino acid and/or nucleic acid sequence of a caspase polypeptide of the disclosure may increase an interaction, a cross-linking, a cross-activation, or an activation of the caspase polypeptide of the disclosure compared to a wild type amino acid or a nucleic acid sequence. Alternatively, or in addition, the one or more modifications to an amino acid and/or nucleic acid sequence of a caspase polypeptide of the disclosure may decrease the immunogenicity of the caspase polypeptide of the disclosure compared to a wild type amino acid or a nucleic acid sequence.
(794) Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may be truncated compared to a wild type caspase polypeptide. For example, a caspase polypeptide may be truncated to eliminate a sequence encoding a Caspase Activation and Recruitment Domain (CARD) to eliminate or minimize the possibility of activating a local inflammatory response in addition to initiating apoptosis in the cell comprising an inducible caspase polypeptide of the disclosure. The nucleic acid sequence encoding a caspase polypeptide of the disclosure may be spliced to form a variant amino acid sequence of the caspase polypeptide of the disclosure compared to a wild type caspase polypeptide. Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may be encoded by recombinant and/or chimeric sequences. Recombinant and/or chimeric caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may include sequences from one or more different caspase polypeptides. Alternatively, or in addition, recombinant and/or chimeric caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may include sequences from one or more species (e.g. a human sequence and a non-human sequence). Caspase polypeptides of the disclosure may be non-naturally occurring.
(795) The ligand binding region of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure may include any polypeptide sequence that facilitates or promotes the dimerization of a first inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure with a second inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure, the dimerization of which activates or induces cross-linking of the proapoptotic polypeptides and initiation of apoptosis in the cell.
(796) The ligand-binding (dimerization) region may comprise any polypeptide or functional domain thereof that will allow for induction using an endogenous or non-naturally-occurring ligand (i.e. and induction agent), for example, a non-naturally-occurring synthetic ligand. The ligand-binding region may be internal or external to the cellular membrane, depending upon the nature of the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide and the choice of ligand (i.e. induction agent). A wide variety of ligand-binding polypeptides and functional domains thereof, including receptors, are known. Ligand-binding regions of the disclosure may include one or more sequences from a receptor. Of particular interest are ligand-binding regions for which ligands (for example, small organic ligands) are known or may be readily produced. These ligand-binding regions or receptors may include, but are not limited to, the FKBPs and cyclophilin receptors, the steroid receptors, the tetracycline receptor, and the like, as well as non-naturally-occurring receptors, which can be obtained from antibodies, particularly the heavy or light chain subunit, mutated sequences thereof, random amino acid sequences obtained by stochastic procedures, combinatorial syntheses, and the like. In certain embodiments, the ligand-binding region is selected from the group consisting of a FKBP ligand-binding region, a cyclophilin receptor ligand-binding region, a steroid receptor ligand-binding region, a cyclophilin receptors ligand-binding region, and a tetracycline receptor ligand-binding region.
(797) The ligand-binding regions comprising one or more receptor domain(s) may be at least about 50 amino acids, and fewer than about 350 amino acids, usually fewer than 200 amino acids, either as the endogenous domain or truncated active portion thereof. The binding region may, for example, be small (<25 kDa, to allow efficient transfection in viral vectors), monomeric, nonimmunogenic, have synthetically accessible, cell permeable, nontoxic ligands that can be configured for dimerization.
(798) The ligand-binding regions comprising one or more receptor domain(s) may be intracellular or extracellular depending upon the design of the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide and the availability of an appropriate ligand (i.e. induction agent). For hydrophobic ligands, the binding region can be on either side of the membrane, but for hydrophilic ligands, particularly protein ligands, the binding region will usually be external to the cell membrane, unless there is a transport system for internalizing the ligand in a form in which it is available for binding. For an intracellular receptor, the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide or a transposon or vector comprising the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide may encode a signal peptide and transmembrane domain 5 or 3 of the receptor domain sequence or may have a lipid attachment signal sequence 5 of the receptor domain sequence. Where the receptor domain is between the signal peptide and the transmembrane domain, the receptor domain will be extracellular.
(799) Antibodies and antibody subunits, e.g., heavy or light chain, particularly fragments, more particularly all or part of the variable region, or fusions of heavy and light chain to create high-affinity binding, can be used as a ligand binding region of the disclosure. Antibodies that are contemplated include ones that are an ectopically expressed human product, such as an extracellular domain that would not trigger an immune response and generally not expressed in the periphery (i.e., outside the CNS/brain area). Such examples, include, but are not limited to low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR), and embryonic surface proteins (i.e., carcinoembryonic antigen). Yet further, antibodies can be prepared against haptenic molecules, which are physiologically acceptable, and the individual antibody subunits screened for binding affinity. The cDNA encoding the subunits can be isolated and modified by deletion of the constant region, portions of the variable region, mutagenesis of the variable region, or the like, to obtain a binding protein domain that has the appropriate affinity for the ligand. In this way, almost any physiologically acceptable haptenic compound can be employed as the ligand or to provide an epitope for the ligand. Instead of antibody units, endogenous receptors can be employed, where the binding region or domain is known and there is a useful or known ligand for binding.
(800) For multimerizing the receptor, the ligand for the ligand-binding region/receptor domains of the inducible proapoptotic polypeptides may be multimeric in the sense that the ligand can have at least two binding sites, with each of the binding sites capable of binding to a ligand receptor region (i.e. a ligand having a first binding site capable of binding the ligand-binding region of a first inducible proapoptotic polypeptide and a second binding site capable of binding the ligand-binding region of a second inducible proapoptotic polypeptide, wherein the ligand-binding regions of the first and the second inducible proapoptotic polypeptides are either identical or distinct). Thus, as used herein, the term multimeric ligand binding region refers to a ligand-binding region of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure that binds to a multimeric ligand. Multimeric ligands of the disclosure include dimeric ligands. A dimeric ligand of the disclosure may have two binding sites capable of binding to the ligand receptor domain. In certain embodiments, multimeric ligands of the disclosure are a dimer or higher order oligomer, usually not greater than about tetrameric, of small synthetic organic molecules, the individual molecules typically being at least about 150 Da and less than about 5 kDa, usually less than about 3 kDa. A variety of pairs of synthetic ligands and receptors can be employed. For example, in embodiments involving endogenous receptors, dimeric FK506 can be used with an FKBP12 receptor, dimerized cyclosporin A can be used with the cyclophilin receptor, dimerized estrogen with an estrogen receptor, dimerized glucocorticoids with a glucocorticoid receptor, dimerized tetracycline with the tetracycline receptor, dimerized vitamin D with the vitamin D receptor, and the like. Alternatively higher orders of the ligands, e.g., trimeric can be used. For embodiments involving non-naturally occurring receptors, e.g., antibody subunits, modified antibody subunits, single chain antibodies comprised of heavy and light chain variable regions in tandem, separated by a flexible linker, or modified receptors, and mutated sequences thereof, and the like, any of a large variety of compounds can be used. A significant characteristic of the units comprising a multimeric ligand of the disclosure is that each binding site is able to bind the receptor with high affinity, and preferably, that they are able to be dimerized chemically. Also, methods are available to balance the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of the ligands so that they are able to dissolve in serum at functional levels, yet diffuse across plasma membranes for most applications.
(801) Activation of inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure may be accomplished through, for example, chemically induced dimerization (CID) mediated by an induction agent to produce a conditionally controlled protein or polypeptide. Proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure not only inducible, but the induction of these polypeptides is also reversible, due to the degradation of the labile dimerizing agent or administration of a monomeric competitive inhibitor.
(802) In certain embodiments, the ligand-binding region comprises a FK506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12) polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the ligand-binding region comprises a FKBP12 polypeptide having a substitution of valine (V) for phenylalanine (F) at position 36 (F36V). In certain embodiments, in which the ligand binding region comprises a FKBP12 polypeptide having a substitution of valine (V) for phenylalanine (F) at position 36 (F36V), the induction agent may comprise AP1903, a synthetic drug (CAS Index Name: 2-Piperidinecarboxylic acid, 1-[(2S)-1-oxo-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)butyl]-, 1,2-ethanediylbis[imino(2-oxo-2,1-ethanediyl)oxy-3,1-phenylene[(1R)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propylidene]]ester, [2S-[1(R*),2R*[S*[S*[1(R*),2R*]]]]]-(9C1) CAS Registry Number: 195514-63-7; Molecular Formula: C78H98N4020; Molecular Weight: 1411.65)). In certain embodiments, in which the ligand-binding region comprises a FKBP12 polypeptide having a substitution of valine (V) for phenylalanine (F) at position 36 (F36V), the induction agent may comprise AP20187 (CAS Registry Number: 195514-80-8 and Molecular Formula: C82H107N5020). In certain embodiments, the induction agent is an AP20187 analog, such as, for example, AP1510. As used herein, the induction agents AP20187, AP1903 and AP1510 may be used interchangeably.
(803) AP1903 API is manufactured by Alphora Research Inc. and AP1903 Drug Product for Injection is made by Formatech Inc. It is formulated as a 5 mg/mL solution of AP1903 in a 25% solution of the non-ionic solubilizer Solutol HS 15 (250 mg/mL, BASF). At room temperature, this formulation is a clear, slightly yellow solution. Upon refrigeration, this formulation undergoes a reversible phase transition, resulting in a milky solution. This phase transition is reversed upon re-warming to room temperature. The fill is 2.33 mL in a 3 mL glass vial (approximately 10 mg AP1903 for Injection total per vial). Upon determining a need to administer AP1903, patients may be, for example, administered a single fixed dose of AP1903 for Injection (0.4 mg/kg) via IV infusion over 2 hours, using a non-DEHP, non-ethylene oxide sterilized infusion set. The dose of AP1903 is calculated individually for all patients, and is not be recalculated unless body weight fluctuates by 10%. The calculated dose is diluted in 100 mL in 0.9% normal saline before infusion. In a previous Phase I study of AP1903, 24 healthy volunteers were treated with single doses of AP1903 for Injection at dose levels of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg infused IV over 2 hours. AP1903 plasma levels were directly proportional to dose, with mean Cmax values ranging from approximately 10-1275 ng/mL over the 0.01-1.0 mg/kg dose range. Following the initial infusion period, blood concentrations demonstrated a rapid distribution phase, with plasma levels reduced to approximately 18, 7, and 1% of maximal concentration at 0.5, 2 and 10 hours post-dose, respectively. AP1903 for Injection was shown to be safe and well tolerated at all dose levels and demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. Iuliucci J D, et al., J Clin Pharmacol. 41: 870-9, 2001.
(804) The fixed dose of AP1903 for injection used, for example, may be 0.4 mg/kg intravenously infused over 2 hours. The amount of AP1903 needed in vitro for effective signaling of cells is 10-100 nM (1600 Da MW). This equates to 16-160 pg/L or 0.016-1.6 pg/kg (1.6-160 pg/kg). Doses up to 1 mg/kg were well tolerated in the Phase I study of AP1903 described above. Therefore, 0.4 mg/kg may be a safe and effective dose of AP1903 for this Phase I study in combination with the therapeutic cells.
(805) The amino acid and/or nucleic acid sequence encoding ligand binding of the disclosure may contain sequence one or more modifications compared to a wild type amino acid or nucleic acid sequence. For example, the amino acid and/or nucleic acid sequence encoding ligand-binding region of the disclosure may be a codon-optimized sequence. The one or more modifications may increase the binding affinity of a ligand (e.g., an induction agent) for the ligand-binding region of the disclosure compared to a wild type polypeptide. Alternatively, or in addition, the one or more modifications may decrease the immunogenicity of the ligand-binding region of the disclosure compared to a wild type polypeptide. Ligand binding regions of the disclosure and/or induction agents of the disclosure may be non-naturally occurring.
(806) Inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure comprise a ligand-binding region, a linker and a proapoptotic peptide, wherein the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide does not comprise a non-human sequence. In certain embodiments, the non-human sequence comprises a restriction site. The linker may comprise any organic or inorganic material that permits, upon dimerization of the ligand-binding region, interaction, cross-linking, cross-activation, or activation of the proapoptotic polypeptides such that the interaction or activation of the proapoptotic polypeptides initiates apoptosis in the cell. In certain embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide comprising a G/S rich amino acid sequence (a GS linker). In certain embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 18024). In preferred embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide and the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide does not contain a restriction site for a restriction endonuclease. Linkers of the disclosure may be non-naturally occurring.
(807) Inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure may be expressed in a cell under the transcriptional regulation of any promoter capable of initiating and/or regulating the expression of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure in that cell. The term promoter as used herein refers to a promoter that acts as the initial binding site for RNA polymerase to transcribe a gene. For example, inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure may be expressed in a mammalian cell under the transcriptional regulation of any promoter capable of initiating and/or regulating the expression of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure in a mammalian cell, including, but not limited to native, endogenous, exogenous, and heterologous promoters. Preferred mammalian cells include human cells. Thus, inducible proapoptotic polypeptides of the disclosure may be expressed in a human cell under the transcriptional regulation of any promoter capable of initiating and/or regulating the expression of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure in a human cell, including, but not limited to, a human promoter or a viral promoter. Exemplary promoters for expression in human cells include, but are not limited to, a human cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early gene promoter, a SV40 early promoter, a Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat, j-actin promoter, a rat insulin promoter and a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter, each of which may be used to obtain high-level expression of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure. The use of other viral or mammalian cellular or bacterial phage promoters that are well known in the art to achieve expression of an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure is contemplated as well, provided that the levels of expression are sufficient for initiating apoptosis in a cell. By employing a promoter with well-known properties, the level and pattern of expression of the protein of interest following transfection or transformation can be optimized.
(808) Selection of a promoter that is regulated in response to specific physiologic or synthetic signals can permit inducible expression of the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide of the disclosure. The ecdysone system (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) is one such system. This system is designed to allow regulated expression of a gene of interest in mammalian cells. It consists of a tightly regulated expression mechanism that allows virtually no basal level expression of a transgene, but over 200-fold inducibility. The system is based on the heterodimeric ecdysone receptor of Drosophila, and when ecdysone or an analog such as muristerone A binds to the receptor, the receptor activates a promoter to turn on expression of the downstream transgene high levels of mRNA transcripts are attained. In this system, both monomers of the heterodimeric receptor are constitutively expressed from one vector, whereas the ecdysone-responsive promoter, which drives expression of the gene of interest, is on another plasmid. Engineering of this type of system into a vector of interest may therefore be useful. Another inducible system that may be useful is the Tet-Off or Tet-On system (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.) originally developed by Gossen and Bujard (Gossen and Bujard, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:5547-5551, 1992; Gossen et al., Science, 268:1766-1769, 1995). This system also allows high levels of gene expression to be regulated in response to tetracycline or tetracycline derivatives such as doxycycline. In the Tet-On system, gene expression is turned on in the presence of doxycycline, whereas in the Tet-Off system, gene expression is turned on in the absence of doxycycline. These systems are based on two regulatory elements derived from the tetracycline resistance operon of E. coli: the tetracycline operator sequence (to which the tetracycline repressor binds) and the tetracycline repressor protein. The gene of interest is cloned into a plasmid behind a promoter that has tetracycline-responsive elements present in it. A second plasmid contains a regulatory element called the tetracycline-controlled transactivator, which is composed, in the Tet-Off system, of the VP16 domain from the herpes simplex virus and the wild-type tetracycline repressor. Thus in the absence of doxycycline, transcription is constitutively on. In the Tet-On system, the tetracycline repressor is not wild type and in the presence of doxycycline activates transcription. For gene therapy vector production, the Tet-Off system may be used so that the producer cells could be grown in the presence of tetracycline or doxycycline and prevent expression of a potentially toxic transgene, but when the vector is introduced to the patient, the gene expression would be constitutively on.
(809) In some circumstances, it is desirable to regulate expression of a transgene in a gene therapy vector. For example, different viral promoters with varying strengths of activity are utilized depending on the level of expression desired. In mammalian cells, the CMV immediate early promoter is often used to provide strong transcriptional activation. The CMV promoter is reviewed in Donnelly, J. J., et al., 1997. Annu. Rev. Immunol. 15:617-48. Modified versions of the CMV promoter that are less potent have also been used when reduced levels of expression of the transgene are desired. When expression of a transgene in hematopoietic cells is desired, retroviral promoters such as the LTRs from MLV or MMTV are often used. Other viral promoters that are used depending on the desired effect include SV40, RSV LTR, HIV-1 and HIV-2 LTR, adenovirus promoters such as from the ElA, E2A, or MLP region, AAV LTR, HSV-TK, and avian sarcoma virus.
(810) In other examples, promoters may be selected that are developmentally regulated and are active in particular differentiated cells. Thus, for example, a promoter may not be active in a pluripotent stem cell, but, for example, where the pluripotent stem cell differentiates into a more mature cell, the promoter may then be activated.
(811) Similarly, tissue specific promoters are used to effect transcription in specific tissues or cells so as to reduce potential toxicity or undesirable effects to non-targeted tissues. These promoters may result in reduced expression compared to a stronger promoter such as the CMV promoter, but may also result in more limited expression, and immunogenicity (Bojak, A., et al., 2002. Vaccine. 20:1975-79; Cazeaux, N., et al., 2002. Vaccine 20:3322-31). For example, tissue specific promoters such as the PSA associated promoter or prostate-specific glandular kallikrein, or the muscle creatine kinase gene may be used where appropriate.

(813) In certain indications, it is desirable to activate transcription at specific times after administration of the gene therapy vector. This is done with such promoters as those that are hormone or cytokine regulatable. Cytokine and inflammatory protein responsive promoters that can be used include K and T kininogen (Kageyama et al., (1987) J. Biol. Chem., 262, 2345-2351), c-fos, TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein (Arcone, et al., (1988) Nucl. Acids Res., 16(8), 3195-3207), haptoglobin (Oliviero et al., (1987) EMBO J., 6, 1905-1912), serum amyloid A2, C/EBP alpha, IL-1, IL-6 (Poli and Cortese, (1989) Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 8202-8206), Complement C3 (Wilson et al., (1990) Mol. Cell. Biol., 6181-6191), IL-8, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (Prowse and Baumann, (1988) Mol Cell Biol, 8, 42-51), alpha-1 antitrypsin, lipoprotein lipase (Zechner et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2394-2401, 1988), angiotensinogen (Ron, et al., (1991) Mol. Cell. Biol., 2887-2895), fibrinogen, c-jun (inducible by phorbol esters, TNF-alpha, UV radiation, retinoic acid, and hydrogen peroxide), collagenase (induced by phorbol esters and retinoic acid), metallothionein (heavy metal and glucocorticoid inducible), Stromelysin (inducible by phorbol ester, interleukin-1 and EGF), alpha-2 macroglobulin and alpha-1 anti-chymotrypsin. Other promoters include, for example, SV40, MMTV, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (MV), Moloney virus, ALV, Epstein Barr virus, Rous Sarcoma virus, human actin, myosin, hemoglobin, and creatine.
(814) It is envisioned that any of the above promoters alone or in combination with another can be useful depending on the action desired. Promoters, and other regulatory elements, are selected such that they are functional in the desired cells or tissue. In addition, this list of promoters should not be construed to be exhaustive or limiting; other promoters that are used in conjunction with the promoters and methods disclosed herein.
(815) Armored T-Cells Knock Down Strategy
(816) T-cells of the disclosure may be genetically modified to enhance their therapeutic potential. Alternatively, or in addition, T-cells of the disclosure may be modified to render them less sensitive to immunologic and/or metabolic checkpoints. Modifications of this type armor the T cells of the disclosure, which, following the modification, may be referred to here as armored T cells. Armored T cells of the disclosure may be produced by, for example, blocking and/or diluting specific checkpoint signals delivered to the T-cells (i.e. checkpoint inhibition) naturally, within the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, for example.
(817) In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure is derived from a T cell, a NK cell, a hematopoietic progenitor cell, a peripheral blood (PB) derived T cell (including a T cell isolated or derived from G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood), or an umbilical cord blood (UCB) derived T cell. In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure comprises one or more of a chimeric ligand receptor (CLR comprising a single domain antibody,)/chimeric antigen receptor (CAR comprising a protein scaffold, an antibody, an ScFv, or an antibody mimetic), a CARTyrin (a CAR comprising a Centyrin), and/or a VCAR (a CAR comprising a camelid VHH or a single domain VH) of the disclosure. In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure comprises an inducible proapoptotic polypeptide comprising (a) a ligand binding region, (b) a linker, and (c) a truncated caspase 9 polypeptide, wherein the inducible proapoptotic polypeptide does not comprise a non-human sequence. In some embodiments, the non-human sequence is a restriction site. In some embodiments, the ligand binding region inducible caspase polypeptide comprises a FK506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12) polypeptide. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the FK506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12) polypeptide comprises a modification at position 36 of the sequence. In some embodiments, the modification is a substitution of valine (V) for phenylalanine (F) at position 36 (F36V). In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure comprises an exogenous sequence. In some embodiments, the exogenous sequence comprises a sequence encoding a therapeutic protein. Exemplary therapeutic proteins may be nuclear, cytoplasmic, intracellular, transmembrane, cell-surface bound, or secreted proteins. Exemplary therapeutic proteins expressed by the armored T cell may modify an activity of the armored T cell or may modify an activity of a second cell. In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure comprises a selection gene or a selection marker. In some embodiments, an armored T-cell of the disclosure comprises a synthetic gene expression cassette (also referred to herein as an inducible transgene construct).
(818) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression one or more gene(s) encoding receptor(s) of inhibitory checkpoint signals to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Examples of inhibitory checkpoint signals include, but are not limited to, a PD-L1 ligand binding to a PD-1 receptor on a CAR-T cell of the disclosure or a TGF cytokine binding to a TGFRII receptor on a CAR-T cell. Receptors of inhibitory checkpoint signals are expressed on the cell surface or within the cytoplasm of a T-cell. Silencing or reducing expressing of the gene encoding the receptor of the inhibitory checkpoint signal results a loss of protein expression of the inhibitory checkpoint receptors on the surface or within the cytoplasm of an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Thus, armored T cells of the disclosure having silenced or reduced expression of one or more genes encoding an inhibitory checkpoint receptor is resistant, non-receptive or insensitive to checkpoint signals. The armored T cell's resistance or decreased sensitivity to inhibitory checkpoint signals enhances the armored T cell's therapeutic potential in the presence of these inhibitory checkpoint signals. Inhibitory checkpoint signals include but are not limited to the examples listed in Table 1. Exemplary inhibitory checkpoint signals that may be silenced in an armored T cell of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, PD-1 and TGFRII.

(820) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding intracellular proteins involved in checkpoint signaling to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. The activity of a T-cell of the disclosure may be enhanced by targeting any intracellular signaling protein involved in a checkpoint-signaling pathway, thereby achieving checkpoint inhibition or interference to one or more checkpoint pathways. Intracellular signaling proteins involved in checkpoint signaling include, but are not limited to, exemplary intracellular signaling proteins listed in Table 2.

(822) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding a transcription factor that hinders the efficacy of a therapy to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. The activity of armored T-cells may be enhanced or modulated by silencing or reducing expression (or repressing a function) of a transcription factor that hinders the efficacy of a therapy. Exemplary transcription factors that may be modified to silence or reduce expression or to repress a function thereof include, but are not limited to, the exemplary transcription factors listed in Table 3. For example, expression of a FOXP3 gene may be silenced or reduced in an armored T cell of the disclosure to prevent or reduce the formation of T regulatory CAR-T-cells (CAR-Treg cells), the expression or activity of which may reduce efficacy of a therapy.

(824) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding a cell death or cell apoptosis receptor to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Interaction of a death receptor and its endogenous ligand results in the initiation of apoptosis. Disruption of an expression, an activity, or an interaction of a cell death and/or cell apoptosis receptor and/or ligand render an armored T-cell of the disclosure less receptive to death signals, consequently, making the armored T cell of the disclosure more efficacious in a tumor environment. An exemplary cell death receptor which may be modified in an armored T cell of the disclosure is Fas (CD95). Exemplary cell death and/or cell apoptosis receptors and ligands of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, the exemplary receptors and ligands provided in Table 4.

(826) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding a metabolic sensing protein to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Disruption to the metabolic sensing of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (characterized by low levels of oxygen, pH, glucose and other molecules) by an armored T-cell of the disclosure leads to extended retention of T-cell function and, consequently, more tumor cell skilled per armored T cell. For example, HIF1a and VHL play a role in T-cell function while in a hypoxic environment. An armored T-cell of the disclosure may have silenced or reduced expression of one or more genes encoding HIF1a or VHL. Genes and proteins involved in metabolic sensing include, but are not limited to, the exemplary genes and proteins provided in Table 5.

(828) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding proteins that confer sensitivity to a cancer therapy, including a monoclonal antibody, to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Thus, an armored T-cell of the disclosure can function and may demonstrate superior function or efficacy whilst in the presence of a cancer therapy (e.g., a chemotherapy, a monoclonal antibody therapy, or another anti-tumor treatment). Proteins involved in conferring sensitivity to a cancer therapy include, but are not limited to, the exemplary proteins provided in Table 6.

(830) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to silence or reduce expression of one or more gene(s) encoding a growth advantage factor to produce an armored T-cell. Silencing or reducing expression of an oncogene can confer a growth advantage for an armored T-cell of the disclosure. For example, silencing or reducing expression (e.g., disrupting expression) of a TET2 gene during a CAR-T manufacturing process results in the generation of an armored CAR-T with a significant capacity for expansion and subsequent eradication of a tumor when compared to a non-armored CAR-T lacking this capacity for expansion. This strategy may be coupled to a safety switch (e.g., an iC9 safety switch of the disclosure), which allows for the targeted disruption of an armored CAR-T-cell in the event of an adverse reaction from a subject or uncontrolled growth of the armored CAR-T. Exemplary growth advantage factors include, but are not limited to, the factors provided in Table 7.

Armored T-Cells Null or Switch Receptor Strategy
(832) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to express a modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure.
(833) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor. A null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor of the disclosure may be modified/chimeric receptor/protein. A null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor of the disclosure may be truncated for expression of the intracellular signaling domain. Alternatively, or in addition, a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor of the disclosure may be mutated within an intracellular signaling domain at one or more amino acid positions that are determinative or required for effective signaling. Truncation or mutation of null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor of the disclosure may result in loss of the receptor's capacity to convey or transduce a checkpoint signal to the cell or within the cell.
(834) For example, a dilution or a blockage of an immunosuppressive checkpoint signal from a PD-L1 receptor expressed on the surface of a tumor cell may be achieved by expressing a modified/chimeric PD-1 null receptor on the surface of an armored T-cell of the disclosure, which effectively competes with the endogenous (non-modified) PD-1 receptors also expressed on the surface of the armored T-cell to reduce or inhibit the transduction of the immunosuppressive checkpoint signal through endogenous PD-1 receptors of the armored T cell. In this exemplary embodiment, competition between the two different receptors for binding to PD-L1 expressed on the tumor cell reduces or diminishes a level of effective checkpoint signaling, thereby enhancing a therapeutic potential of the armored T-cell expressing the PD-1 null receptor.
(835) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor that is a transmembrane receptor.
(836) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor that is a membrane-associated or membrane-linked receptor/protein.
(837) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor that is an intracellular receptor/protein.
(838) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a null receptor, decoy receptor or dominant negative receptor that is an intracellular receptor/protein. Exemplary null, decoy, or dominant negative intracellular receptors/proteins of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, signaling components downstream of an inhibitory checkpoint signal (as provided, for example, in Tables 1 and 2), a transcription factor (as provided, for example, in Table 3), a cytokine or a cytokine receptor, a chemokine or a chemokine receptor, a cell death or apoptosis receptor/ligand (as provided, for example, in Table 4), a metabolic sensing molecule (as provided, for example, in Table 5), a protein conferring sensitivity to a cancer therapy (as provided, for example, in Table 6), and an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene (as provided, for example, in Table 7). Exemplary cytokines, cytokine receptors, chemokines and chemokine receptors of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, the cytokines and cytokine receptors as well as chemokines and chemokine receptors provided in Table 8.

(840) In some embodiments, the modified/chimeric checkpoint receptor comprises a switch receptor. Exemplary switch receptors may comprise a modified/chimeric receptor/protein of the disclosure wherein a native or wild type intracellular signaling domain is switched or replaced with a different intracellular signaling domain that is either non-native to the protein and/or not a wild-type domain. For example, replacement of an inhibitory signaling domain with a stimulatory signaling domain would switch an immunosuppressive signal into an immunostimulatory signal. Alternatively, replacement of an inhibitory signaling domain with a different inhibitory domain can reduce or enhance the level of inhibitory signaling. Expression or overexpression, of a switch receptor can result in the dilution and/or blockage of a cognate checkpoint signal via competition with an endogenous wildtype checkpoint receptor (not a switch receptor) for binding to the cognate checkpoint receptor expressed within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Armored T cells of the disclosure may comprise a sequence encoding switch receptors of the disclosure, leading to the expression of one or more switch receptors of the disclosure, and consequently, altering an activity of an armored T-cell of the disclosure. Armored T cells of the disclosure may express a switch receptor of the disclosure that targets an intracellularly expressed protein downstream of a checkpoint receptor, a transcription factor, a cytokine receptor, a death receptor, a metabolic sensing molecule, a cancer therapy, an oncogene, and/or a tumor suppressor protein or gene of the disclosure.
(841) Exemplary switch receptors of the disclosure may comprise or may be derived from a protein including, but are not limited to, the signaling components downstream of an inhibitory checkpoint signal (as provided, for example, in Tables 1 and 2), a transcription factor (as provided, for example, in Table 3), a cytokine or a cytokine receptor, a chemokine or a chemokine receptor, a cell death or apoptosis receptor/ligand (as provided, for example, in Table 4), a metabolic sensing molecule (as provided, for example, in Table 5), a protein conferring sensitivity to a cancer therapy (as provided, for example, in Table 6), and an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene (as provided, for example, in Table 7). Exemplary cytokines, cytokine receptors, chemokines and chemokine receptors of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, the cytokines and cytokine receptors as well as chemokines and chemokine receptors provided in Table 8.
(842) Armored T-CellsConditional Gene Expression System
(843) In some embodiments, a T-cell of the disclosure is modified to express chimeric ligand receptor (CLR) or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that mediates conditional gene expression to produce an armored T-cell of the disclosure. The combination of the CLR/CAR and the conditional gene expression system in the nucleus of the armored T cell constitutes a synthetic gene expression system that is conditionally activated upon binding of cognate ligand(s) with CLR or cognate antigen(s) with CAR. This system may help to armor or enhance therapeutic potential of modified T cells by reducing or limiting synthetic gene expression at the site of ligand or antigen binding, at or within the tumor environment for example.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Knock Down Efficiency of Checkpoint Signaling Proteins on Armored T-Cells
(893) To create armored T-cells that have enhanced therapeutic potential, genetic modifications may be made in order to render the T-cells less sensitive to immunologic and/or metabolic checkpoints. One mechanism to produce armored T-cells is to inhibit checkpoint signaling is to knockout various checkpoint receptors. The Cas-CLOVER platform was used to target and knockout the checkpoint receptors PD-1, TGFR2, LAG-3, Tim-3, and CTLA-4 in resting (or quiescent) primary pan T cells. As measured by flow cytometry, gene editing resulted in 30-70% loss of protein expression at the cell surface (
Example 2: Strategies for the Expression of Null or Switch Intracellular Signaling Proteins on Armored T-Cells
(894) Another strategy to produce armored T-cells is to reduce or inhibit endogenous checkpoint signaling by expressing various modified/chimeric checkpoint receptors that have an altered or absent intracellular signaling domain. Checkpoint signals that could be targeted using this strategy include PD-1 or TGFRII of T-cells, which bind to the PD-L1 ligand and TGF cytokine, respectively.
Example 3: Enhancing Surface Expression of PD1 and TGFRII Null or Switch Intracellular Signaling Proteins on Armored T-Cells
(895) To create armored T-cells, a number of truncated null receptors expressing alternative signal peptides (SP) and transmembrane domains (TM) designed and tested for maximal expression on the surface of modified T-cells.
Example 4: Design of NF-KB Inducible Vectors for Expression in Modified T-Cells
(896) Two T cell activation NF-KB inducible vectors were developed (
Example 5: NF-KB Inducible Vectors for GFP Expression in Modified T-Cells
(897) T cells were nucleofected with a piggyBac vector expressing an anti-BCMA CAR and a DHFR mutein gene under control of an EF1a promoter along with the absence (No gene expression system (GES) control) or presence of an NF-KB inducible expression system driving GFP expression in either the forward (pNFKB-GFP forward) or reverse orientation (pNFKB-GFP reverse). Cells were cultured in the presence of methotrexate selection until the cells were almost completely resting (Day 19) and GFP expression was assessed at Day 5 and Day 19. At Day 5, all T cells are proliferating and highly stimulated, with cells harboring the NF-KB inducible expression cassette producing high levels of GFP due to strong NFB activity (see
Example 6: NF-KB Inducible Vectors for Anti-BCMA CAR-Mediated GFP Expression in Modified T-Cells
(898) T cells were either unmodified (Mock T cells) or nucleofected with a piggyBac vector expressing an anti-BCMA CAR and a DHFR mutein gene under control of an EF1a promoter along with the absence (No GES control) or presence of an NF-KB inducible expression system driving GFP expression in either the forward (pNFKB-GFP forward) or reverse orientation (pNFKB-GFP reverse). All cells were cultured for 22 days, either with or without methotrexate selection (Mock T cells), until the cells were almost completely resting. Cells were then stimulated for 3 days in the absence (No stimulation) or presence of BCMA-(K562), BMCA+(RPMI 8226), or positive control anti-CD3 anti-CD28 activation reagent (CD3/28 stimulation). GFP expression was undetectable under all conditions with the No GES control or Mock T cells. However, while pNFKB-GFP forward- and reverse-transposed cells exhibited little GFP expression over the No stimulation control when cultured with BCMA K562 cells, they both demonstrated dramatic upregulation of gene expression either in the presence of BCMA+ tumor cells or under positive control conditions (
Example 7: Control of Anti-BCMA CAR-Mediated Expression in Modified T-Cells
(899) The expression level of inducible gene can be regulated by the number of response elements upstream or preceding the inducible promoter. T cells were nucleofected with a piggyBac vector encoding an anti-BCMA CARTyrin followed by a selection gene, both under control of a human EF1a promoter (
