DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(31) The present disclosure provides compositions of protein complexes and methods of use thereof. Promising therapeutics are often unable to be realized due to harmful side effects, or systemic on-target toxicity. Provided herein are protein complexes, which specifically exhibit therapeutic efficacy locally, where the relevant cells and targets are present. Moreover, protein complexes of the present disclosure are self-regulated, remaining inactive in the absence of a specific marker and activating in the presence of the specific marker. The protein complexes disclosed herein may include a sensor domain (e.g, an antibody or scFv) that is linked to a therapeutic domain (e.g., a cytokine, a therapeutic antibody domain, a receptor, a ligand) via a linker. The sensor domain may be a dual binding protein that has affinity for the therapeutic domain and a specific marker, such that the marker and the therapeutic domain compete for binding to the sensor domain. In some embodiments, the dual binding protein is a dual binding antibody. In the absence of the marker, the sensor domain binds the therapeutic domain, rendering the therapeutic domain unable to exert activity. When the sensor domain is bound to the marker, the therapeutic domain is unbound and may exert activity. In some embodiments, regulation of therapeutic activity by the complex may be reversible, that is, when the sensor domain disassociates from the marker, the sensor domain may bind the therapeutic domain, rendering the therapeutic domain once again unable to exert activity. Thus, the protein complexes of the present disclosure comprise sensor domains that regulate therapeutic domains in the presence of the marker, bind the marker, and render the therapeutic domain active. Various structures and compositions of protein complexes are disclosed herein, including pharmaceutical formulations. Also provided herein are methods for treating a subject in need thereof by administering the protein complex to the subject.

(32) As used herein, a “marker” may refer to the moiety that is bound by the sensor domain of the protein complexes disclosed herein. Non-limiting examples of a “marker” include a protein, a protein modification, a carbohydrate, a metabolite, or any other molecule that can be bound by an antibody. A marker may also refer to a disease-specific marker, such as a molecular marker of a disease state (e.g., cancer).

(33) As used herein, a “target” may refer to a molecule through which the therapeutic domain of the protein complexes disclosed herein may act. Non-limiting examples of a “target” include cytokine receptor, a cytokine, a ligand, an enzyme substrate, or any other molecule that, when contacted by the therapeutic domain, has a therapeutic impact on a subject (e.g., human or non-human animal) administered the protein complex.

(34) As used herein, an “antibody” may refer to an antibody, an antibody derivative, or fragment(s) thereof that contains part or all of an antibody variable domain.

(35) The term “recombinant nucleic acid” refers to synthetic nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence that is not naturally occurring. A recombinant nucleic acid may be synthesized in the laboratory. A recombinant nucleic acid is prepared by using recombinant DNA technology by using enzymatic modification of DNA, such as enzymatic restriction digestion, ligation, and DNA cloning. A recombinant nucleic acid as used herein can be DNA, or RNA. A recombinant DNA may be transcribed in vitro, to generate a messenger RNA (mRNA), the recombinant mRNA may be isolated, purified and used to transfect a cell. A recombinant nucleic acid may encode a protein or a polypeptide. A recombinant nucleic acid, under suitable conditions, can be incorporated into a living cell, and can be expressed inside the living cell. As used herein, “expression” of a nucleic acid usually refers to transcription and/or translation of the nucleic acid. The product of a nucleic acid expression is usually a protein but can also be an mRNA. Detection of an mRNA encoded by a recombinant nucleic acid in a cell that has incorporated the recombinant nucleic acid, is considered positive proof that the nucleic acid is “expressed” in the cell.

(36) The process of inserting or incorporating a nucleic acid into a cell can be via transformation, transfection or transduction. Transformation is the process of uptake of foreign nucleic acid by a bacterial cell. This process is adapted for propagation of plasmid DNA, protein production, and other applications. Transformation introduces recombinant plasmid DNA into competent bacterial cells that take up extracellular DNA from the environment. Some bacterial species are naturally competent under certain environmental conditions, but competence is artificially induced in a laboratory setting. Transfection is the forced introduction of small molecules such as DNA, RNA, or antibodies into eukaryotic cells. Just to make life confusing, ‘transfection’ also refers to the introduction of bacteriophage into bacterial cells. ‘Transduction’ is mostly used to describe the introduction of recombinant viral vector particles into target cells, while ‘infection’ refers to natural infections of humans or animals with wild-type viruses.

(37) Protein Complexes

(38) The present disclosure provides complexes that may self-regulate therapeutic activity. Protein complexes of the present disclosure may include a sensor domain and a therapeutic domain. The sensor domain and therapeutic domain may be linked by a linker. The sensor domain may regulate the activity of the therapeutic domain. Regulation of the activity of the therapeutic domain may include binding of the sensor domain to the therapeutic domain, rendering the therapeutic domain unable to exert therapeutic activity. Regulation of the activity of the therapeutic domain may further include unbinding, or release, of the therapeutic domain by the sensor domain upon binding of the sensor domain to a marker. The marker may be expressed by a cell associated with a disease. For example, the disease may be cancer, the cell may be a tumor cell, and the marker may be a tumor-specific marker that is expressed on tumor cells. Thus, the protein complexes of the present disclosure are superior drug candidates as the sensor domain-dependent activity of the therapeutic domain allows for localized activity, even upon systemic administration of the protein complex. Compared to therapeutic domains administered on their own, the protein complexes of the present disclosure exhibit regulated therapeutic activity of the therapeutic domain. As a result, compared to free therapeutic domains administered on their own, the protein complexes of the present disclosure exhibit reduced systemic on-target toxicity.

(39) The protein complexes of the present disclosure can have an Fc region. The protein complexes of the present disclosure can have a domain that improves kinetic properties. For example, the protein complexes of the present disclosure may be further coupled to a half-life extender, such as an Fc region, albumin, PEG, or another zwitterionic polymer. The protein complexes of the present disclosure may have two heavy chains and two light chains. The protein complexes of the present disclosure may have two heavy chains and one light chain. The protein complexes of the present disclosure may include multiple sensor domains and multiple therapeutic domains. For example, a protein complex of the present disclosure may include two sensor domains and two therapeutic domains, all of which are linked and in which the two therapeutic domains are bound to the two sensor domains. In some embodiments, a protein complex of the present disclosure may include two sensor domains and one therapeutic domain, all of which are linked and in which the therapeutic domain may bind to both sensor domains or only one of the two sensor domains.

(40) In some embodiments, the marker may be a surface protein, such as a cell surface protein. The marker may also be soluble ATP. In some embodiments, the marker may be a secreted protein. For example, the secreted protein may be a protein that is released by proliferating tumor cells. In some embodiments, the marker may be expressed by a cancer cell. The marker may be expressed by an immune cell. The marker may be expressed by a stromal cell. The marker may be expressed by an endothelial cell. Exemplary markers include PD1, PD-L1, CEACAM5, FAP, LRRC15, a metabolite, adenosine, AMP, ADP, ATP, or kynurenine. Other markers may include CRIPTO, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD30, CD33, Glycoprotein NMB, CanAg, HER2 (ErbB2/Neu), CD56 (NCAM), CD70, CD79, CD138, PSCA, PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), BCMA, E-selectin, EphB2, Melanotransferin, Muc16 and TMEFF2, or any other marker described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,561,739, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Other markers may also include BMPR1B, E16, STEAP1, 0772P, MPF, Naρi3b, Sema 5b, PSCA hlg, ETBR, MSG783, STEAP2, TrpM4, CD21, CD79b, FcRH2, NCA, MDP, IL20Rα, Brevican, EphB2R, ASLG659, PSCA, GEDA, BAFF-R, CD79a, CXCR5, HLA-DOB, P2X5, CD72, FCRHI, IRTA2, or any other marker described in WO 2005/082023, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

(41) In some embodiments, binding of the sensor domain to the therapeutic domain versus binding of the sensor domain to a marker is regulated by the relative affinity of the sensor domain for the therapeutic domain. In some embodiments, the sensor domain may have a dissociation constant (Kd) for the marker that is lower than the dissociation constant of the sensor domain for the therapeutic domain. Thus, the sensor may have a higher affinity (lower Kd) for the marker than for the therapeutic domain. The sensor domains of the present disclosure may be engineered, for example by affinity maturation, to have a higher affinity (lower dissociation constant) for the marker than the therapeutic domain. In the absence of the marker, the sensor domain of the present disclosure may have a sufficiently high affinity for the therapeutic domain such that the therapeutic domain is bound by the sensor domain. In the presence of the marker, the affinity of the sensor domain for the marker is sufficiently high (low dissociation constant), such that the marker outcompetes the therapeutic domain for binding to the sensor domain. As a result, the equilibrium binding shifts from a state in which the sensor domain is bound to the therapeutic domain to a state in which the therapeutic domain is unbound and the sensor domain binds to the marker.

(48) A. Sensor Domains

(49) Protein complexes of the present disclosure include sensor domains. A sensor domain may be any protein that is capable of sensing the presence of a first moiety and regulating a second moiety, where the first moiety is a marker (e.g., a tumor cell marker) and the second moiety is a therapeutic domain (e.g., a cytokine therapeutic domain). For example, the present disclosure provides a sensor domain that may be an antibody or antibody fragment capable of binding a first moiety and binding and blocking the activity of a second moiety, wherein the first moiety is a marker (e.g., a tumor marker) and the second moiety is a therapeutic domain (e.g., a cytokine therapeutic domain). In the absence of the first moiety, the sensor domain binds the second moiety. If the first moiety is introduced into the system, the sensor domain binds the first moiety and unbinds the second moiety. Thus, the binding and unbinding of the second moiety is reversible. The sensor domain inactivates or blocks the activity of the therapeutic domain by binding the therapeutic domain and preventing it from binding to its target (e.g., a receptor, a ligand, or a substrate). The sensor domain regulates the therapeutic domain by releasing it to act on its target upon binding of a marker.

(50) In some embodiments, the sensor domain is a dual binding protein such as a dual binding antibody. A dual binding protein may be capable of binding the marker and the therapeutic domain. A dual binding protein of the present disclosure may be selected or engineered to bind the marker and the therapeutic domain. The dual binding protein may have a higher affinity for the marker as compared to the therapeutic domain. The dual binding protein may be affinity matured to have a higher affinity for the marker as compared to the therapeutic domain.

(51) In some embodiments, the sensor domain is an antibody. The sensor domain may also be a fragment of an antibody. A fragment of an antibody consistent with the sensor domains disclosed herein retains its ability to exhibit dual binding to both a marker and a therapeutic domain. One or both domains of a bispecific antibody may be sensor domains of the protein complexes of the present disclosure. In the instance that bispecific antibodies are used, the bispecific antibody may include a first antigen binding domain that may bind a therapeutic domain and a marker and may also include a second antigen binding domain capable of binding the marker. In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody may have a first antigen binding domain that binds a therapeutic domain and a first marker, and a second antigen binding domain that binds a second marker. In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody may have a first antigen binding domain that binds a therapeutic domain and a first marker, and a second antigen binding domain that binds a therapeutic domain and a second marker. In some embodiments the first and second antigen binding domains may bind to the same therapeutic domain (FIG. 13).

(52) In some embodiments the two sensor domains may bind to a single IFNα domain attached by a linker to two antibody domains; a first antibody domain that may bind to CEA (a first marker) and to the IFNα domain, and a second antibody domain that may bind to ATP (a second marker), and to the IFNα domain such that the IFNα is able to bind its receptor only in the presence of CEA and ATP (FIG. 13).

(53) In some embodiments, the sensor domain is an anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1 antibody or fragment thereof (e.g., an scFv that binds PD1 or PD-L1). In some embodiments, the sensor domain binds to a marker comprising a surface protein, such as a cell surface protein, soluble ATP, a secreted protein, PD1, PD-L1, CEACAM5, FAP, LRRC15, a metabolite, adenosine, AMP, ADP, ATP, or kynurenine, or CRIPTO, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD30, CD33, Glycoprotein NMB, CanAg, HER2 (ErbB2/Neu), CD56 (NCAM), CD70, CD79, CD138, PSCA, PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), BCMA, E-selectin, EphB2, Melanotransferin, Muc16 and TMEFF2, BMPR1B, E16, STEAP1, 0772P, MPF, Naρi3b, Sema 5b, PSCA hlg, ETBR, MSG783, STEAP2, TrpM4, CD21, CD79b, FcRH2, NCA, MDP, IL20Rα, Brevican, EphB2R, ASLG659, PSCA, GEDA, BAFF-R, CD79a, CXCR5, HLA-DOB, P2X5, CD72, FCRHI, IRTA2, a sialic acid, or any other marker described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,561,739, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety or WO 2005/082023, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

(54) In some embodiments, the sensor domain comprises a condition-dependent target affinity. Many cell types, including a range of cancer cell types, generate specific extracellular and tissue-specific microenvironments distinct from those of healthy cells. Recently, significant attention has been placed on the link between extracellular sodium depletion and certain brain cancers. As a further example, some cancers generate low pH microenvironments which can affect changes in the membranome protonation and conformational patterns. Accordingly, a sensor domain may comprise enhanced affinity for a target marker in the presence of a particular condition. A sensor domain may be responsive to pH, temperature, salinity, osmotic pressure, or any combination thereof. For example, a sensor domain may comprise an order of magnitude greater affinity for a target molecule or an order of magnitude lower affinity for a therapeutic domain in the presence of a particular condition. The particular condition may affect the sensor (e.g., a charge or conformation of the sensor), the target (e.g., a charge or solubility of the target), or both.

(55) B. Therapeutic Domains

(56) Protein complexes of the present disclosure include therapeutic domains. A therapeutic domain of the present disclosure is linked to a sensor domain via a linker to form a protein complex. The therapeutic domain may exert therapeutic activity by binding to a target. For example, the therapeutic domain may be a cytokine and its target may be a receptor target. Upon binding of the cytokine to its receptor target, the cytokine may modulate cellular proliferation, activation, differentiation, and/or may exert anti-tumor or anti-viral activity. Therapeutic domains consistent with the protein complexes of the present disclosure include a cytokine, a chemokine, an antibody, an antibody fragment, a peptide agonist, a peptide antagonist, an enzyme, a soluble receptor, a growth factor, a protein toxin, a soluble ligand, a small molecule, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, an antibody or antibody fragment comprises an IgG, an IgA, an IgD, an IgE, an IgM, an Fab, an F(ab)′2, a single domain antibody fragment (e.g., a nanobody), a diabody, an scFab, an scFv, an (scFv).sub.2, or any fragment (e.g., an Fe domain or CH domain) or combination thereof.

(57) In some embodiments, the protein complexes of the present disclosure comprise a therapeutic domain comprising an IL-2 receptor agonist, IL-12 receptor agonist, or IFNα, or variants or fusions of these cytokines. In some embodiments, the therapeutic domain may be IFNα, IFNγ IL-12 IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21, TGF beta, an anti-CD3 antibody, an anti-CD28 antibody or ligand, an antibody to or ligand of CD40, GITR, OX40, CD137, CD27, or Death Receptors, the extracellular domain of TGFBR2, VEGF-C, kynureninase, IL-7, TNF, MICA, MICB, CD47, an anti-CTLA4 antibody, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an anti-PD-1 antibody. The therapeutic domain may also be a fragment of any of the above mentioned moieties. A fragment retains functional regions of the moiety needed for binding to its target (e.g., IL-2 receptor) and any functional regions needed for activity.

(58) C. Linkers

(59) A protein complex disclosed herein may comprise a linker. The linker may connect two domains, such as a sensor domain and a therapeutic domain. The linker may connect two portions of a sensor domain, for example a light chain variable domain and a heavy chain variable domain. Various linkers are consistent with the protein complexes of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the linker may be an amino acid linker or a chemical linker.

(60) The linker may be a stable linker. For example, a linker may maintain a connection between a therapeutic domain and a sensor domain even upon binding of the sensor domain to a marker and, thereby, unbinding of the therapeutic domain from the sensor domain. For example, although the sensor domain may unbind the therapeutic domain, the therapeutic domain may remain linked to the sensor domain via the linker. Examples of linkers that are consistent with this activity may include non-cleavable linkers.

(61) The linker may also be a flexible linker. A flexible linker is a linker that is long enough to allow for the therapeutic domain to bind to its target, once it is unbound from the sensor domain. Flexibility of the linker may affect therapeutic efficacy. For example, upon binding of the sensor domain to a marker and unbinding of the therapeutic domain, the therapeutic domain needs to be able to encounter and bind its therapeutic target (e.g., a receptor on the same cell surface as the marker or a receptor on an adjacent cell surface to the marker). If the linker is not flexible enough to allow for the therapeutic domain to binds its therapeutic target, therapeutic efficacy may be reduced or not exerted. When the linker is flexible, therapeutic domains may be able to bind their therapeutic target and exert high therapeutic efficacy. Flexibility of a linker may arise from the length of the linker. For example, short linkers may sterically hinder the therapeutic domain from binding its target. Longer linkers may allow for the protein complex to be more flexible and allow for therapeutic domains to bind their target. In some embodiments, a linker that is too long may impact the ability of the sensor domain to bind the therapeutic domain and inhibit activity in the absence of the marker. In some embodiments, a linker that is too long may impact the stability of a protein therapeutic domain or the half-life of the protein therapeutic domain in vivo.

(62) In some embodiments, the linker may be attached to a heavy chain of the sensor domain or a light chain of the sensor domain. A linker may be fused to the N-terminus or C-terminus of the sensor domain. In some embodiments, the linker may be attached to a heavy chain or light chain of the therapeutic domain or is fused with the N-terminus or C-terminus of the therapeutic domain. For example, a linker may be attached to an N-terminus or C-terminus of an scFV or an ScFab.

(63) Amino Acid Linkers. An amino acid linker may comprise any amino acid residues. In some embodiments, favored amino acid residues are amino acid residues that are entropically flexible. Favored amino acid residues in an amino acid linker of the present disclosure may include glycine and serine. Other preferred amino acid residues may include alanine, proline, threonine, and glutamic acid.

(64) Non-Cleavable Linkers.

(65) A non-cleavable linker of the present disclosure may include a chemical linker that is stable. Examples of non-cleavable linkers consistent for use in protein complexes of the present disclosure to link the sensor domain and the therapeutic domain may include a thioether linker, an alkyl linker, a polymeric linker. A linker may be an SMCC linker or a PEG linker. In preferred embodiments, the linker may be a PEG linker.

(66) A non-cleavable linker may also include a non-proteolytically cleavable peptide. A non-proteolytically cleavable peptide may be inert to proteases present in a given sample or organism. For example, a peptide may be inert to all human protease cleavage sequences, and thereby may comprise a high degree of stability within humans and human samples. Such a peptide may also comprise a secondary structure which renders a protease cleavage site inert or inaccessible to a protease. A non-cleavable linker of the present disclosure may comprise a half-life for cleavage of at least 1 hour, at least 2 hours, at least 4 hours, at least 8 hours, at least 12 hours, at least 16 hours, at least 1 day, at least 2 days, at least 3 days, at least 1 week, at least 2 weeks, or at least 1 month in the presence of human proteases at 25° C. in pH 7 buffer.

(67) D. Protein Complex Structures

(68) The present disclosure provides a wide variety of protein complexes spanning a range of structures. A protein complex of the present disclosure may comprise a therapeutic domain and a sensor domain expressed as a single unit. A therapeutic domain may be expressed as an N-terminal extension of a sensor domain, as a C-terminal extension of a sensor domain, or disposed within a sensor domain. For example, a protein complex may comprise a peptide which comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a therapeutic domain, a peptide linker, an scFv domain, and optionally a tag, such as a purification tag (e.g., a V5 or myc tag) or a localization signal. Alternatively, a therapeutic domain and a sensor domain may be coupled (e.g., chemically coupled) subsequent to expression.

(69) A protein complex may comprise a plurality of protein subunits. The plurality of protein subunits (e.g., a therapeutic domain and a sensor domain, two sensor domains, or two subunits of a sensor domain) may be chemically or physically coupled following expression. The plurality of protein subunits may comprise a plurality of sensor and/or therapeutic domains. A sensor and/or a therapeutic domain may be comprised of a single protein subunit, of multiple protein subunits, or by portions thereof. For example, a sensor domain may comprise an antibody Fab region comprising portions of an immunoglobulin light chain and an immunoglobulin heavy chain.

(70) A plurality of protein subunits may comprise physical handles which facilitate their selective coupling. The physical handles may enable spontaneous, irreversible, and/or non-mediated (e.g., not requiring a chaperone protein or a catalytic complex) coupling between the protein subunits, thereby enabling complex and asymmetric protein complexes. For example, two distinct protein complex subunits expressed in a single Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell, may comprise physical handles which spontaneously and irreversibly couple prior to cellular export. Such physical handles may comprise a ‘knob-into-hole’ (KIH) construct or a charge-swap construct, in which two protein subunits comprise physical structures with mutual binding affinities and specificities. Such physical handles may comprise a covalently binding pair, such as a plurality of thiols configured to form disulfide bonds. Physical handles may enable facile production of protein complexes comprising identical or distinct domains.

(71) A protein complex may comprise two or more identical domains. An example of such a protein complex is provided in FIG. 14A, which illustrates an antibody (multi-sensor domain) coupled to two IL-2 therapeutic domains. In this example, the protein complex comprises two protein immunoglobulin light chain subunits and two immunoglobulin heavy chain subunits complexed to form a competent antibody. The two immunoglobulin heavy chain subunits comprise N-terminal linkers coupled to IL-2 therapeutic domains. Each immunoglobulin heavy chain is coupled to an immunoglobulin light chain, such that the protein complex comprises two Fab regions, each separately coupled to a therapeutic domain by a linker.

(72) While the above example provides a symmetric protein complex with two identical sensor domains and two identical therapeutic domains, a protein complex may also comprise a plurality of distinct sensor and/or therapeutic domains. Such a protein complex may comprise an immunoglobulin unit with a first arm comprised of a heavy chain-light chain pair, and a second arm comprised of an antibody fragment such as an scFv, an scFab, a VH, or a fragment thereof. In such cases, the heavy chain, the antibody fragment, or the light chain may comprise an N-terminal extension with a linker and a therapeutic domain, as illustrated in FIGS. 9A, C, and F, respectively. Alternatively, the heavy chain, the antibody fragment, or the light chain may comprise a C-terminal extension with a linker and a therapeutic domain. A protein complex may also comprise a symmetric immunoglobulin unit with a single therapeutic domain. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, an immunoglobulin unit may comprise an N-terminal linker and therapeutic unit on a single heavy chain. Alternatively, an immunoglobulin unit may comprise an N-terminal linker and therapeutic unit on a single light chain. An immunoglobulin unit may also comprise a pair of antibody fragments coupled to a single Fc region. An immunoglobulin unit may comprise a nanobody. An immunoglobulin unit may comprise a diabody.

(73) In some cases, a plurality of distinct sensor domains are associated with a plurality of distinct therapeutic domains. Such a plurality of sensor domains may comprise common targets. For example, a protein complex may comprise a first sensor domain associated with an IL-2 therapeutic domain and comprising affinities for IL-2 and PD-1, and a second sensor domain associated with an IFNα therapeutic domain and comprising an affinity for IFNα and PD-1. Alternatively, a plurality of sensor domains may comprise separate targets. For example, a protein complex may comprise a first sensor domain associated with an IL-2 therapeutic domain and comprising affinities for IL-2 and PD-1, and a second sensor domain associated with an IFNα therapeutic domain and comprising an affinity for IFNα and CEACAM5.

(74) A protein complex may comprise a therapeutic domain targeted by one or more than one sensor domain. A protein complex comprising such a plurality of sensor domains may comprise a multi-target dependence for activity. This concept is illustrated in FIGS. 13A-13C, which provides a protein complex comprising a therapeutic domain, a first sensor domain targeting the therapeutic domain and a first target (‘Marker 1’), and a second sensor domain targeting the therapeutic domain and a second target (‘Marker 2’). In this example, the presence of Marker 1 leads to therapeutic domain binding to DBA 2, while the presence of Marker 2 leads to therapeutic domain binding to DBA 1. However, the presence of Marker 1 and Marker 2 liberates the therapeutic domain, enhancing its activity. Accordingly, the activity of the protein complex is requisite upon the presence of both of its markers. An example of such a system may be a protein complex comprising a first sensor domain which targets IL-2 and PD-1, and a second sensor domain which targets IL-2 and CEACAM5, such that CEACAM5 and PD-1 are requisite for IL-2 activity by the protein complex. A protein complex may comprise a dependence for at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, or at least 5 target markers. A protein complex may comprise a dependence for at most 5, at most 4, at most 3, at most 2, or for a single target marker.

(75) Multi-marker activity dependence may enhance the selectivity of a protein complex. Some cells, including many forms of cancerous cells, comprise minor variations in their surfaceomes relative to healthy cells, rendering monospecific targeting unfeasible for distinguishing diseased cells. Accordingly, selectively targeting a particular diseased cell or tissue may require targeting a plurality of markers. A protein complex of the present disclosure may target at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, or at least 5 markers. A protein complex of the present disclosure may target at most 5, at most 4, at most 3, or at most 2 markers. In some cases, at least one of the markers targeted by a protein complex is commonly shared between a target cell or tissue and a healthy cell or tissue. In some cases, all of the markers targeted by a protein complex are commonly shared between a target cell or tissue and a healthy cell or tissue.

(76) A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, or at least 10 markers and no therapeutic domain. A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target at most 2, at most 3, at most 4, at most 5, at most 6, at most 7, at most 8, at most 9, or at most 10 markers and no therapeutic domain. A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target a single therapeutic domain and at least 1, at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, or at least 10 markers. A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target a single therapeutic domain and at most 1, at most 2, at most 3, at most 4, at most 5, at most 6, at most 7, at most 8, at most 9, or at most 10 markers. A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target at least two therapeutic domains and at least 1, at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, or at least 10 markers. A sensor domain of the present disclosure may target at least two therapeutic domains and at most 1, at most 2, at most 3, at most 4, at most 5, at most 6, at most 7, at most 8, at most 9, or at most 10 markers.

(77) Two sensor domains may comprise identical affinities for a therapeutic domain, or may comprise different affinities for the therapeutic domain. Two sensor domains may comprise affinities for a therapeutic domain differing by at least 1 order of magnitude, at least 2 orders of magnitude, at least 3 orders of magnitude, or at least 4 orders of magnitude for a therapeutic domain. Two sensor domains may comprise affinities for a therapeutic domain which differ by at most 4 orders of magnitude, at most 3 orders of magnitude, at most 2 orders of magnitude, or at most 1 order of magnitude. A combination of different therapeutic domain affinities by a plurality of sensor domains may enhance the affinity of a protein complex for a target marker. For example, a protein complex may comprise a first sensor domain which weakly targets a first cell surface marker and weakly targets a therapeutic domain, and a second sensor domain which strongly targets a second cell surface marker and strongly targets the therapeutic domain, such that the protein complex exhibits weak activity in the presence of the cell surface second marker and strong activity in the presence of the first and the second cell surface markers.

(78) Two sensor domains of a protein complex may also target separate therapeutic domains. For example, a protein complex may comprise a first sensor domain which targets IL-2 and PD-1, and a second sensor domain which targets IFNα and CEACAM5. A protein complex may comprise a sensor domain which does not target a therapeutic domain. Such a sensor domain may aid in target localization, or may enhance the activity of a separate sensor domain for a therapeutic domain. An example of a protein complex comprising a sensor domain which does not target a therapeutic domain is provided in FIG. 14C. This system comprises a monospecific anti-PD-1 antibody, wherein a first heavy chain comprises a C-terminal linker coupled to a therapeutic domain, and a second heavy chain comprises a C-terminal linker coupled to a sensor domain with dual specificity for the therapeutic domain and for a target marker.

(79) A protein complex may comprise a single target, 2 targets, 3 targets, 4 targets, or more than 4 targets. A protein complex may comprise at least 2 targets, at least 3 targets, or at least 4 targets. A protein complex may comprise at most 4 targets, at most 3 targets, or at most 2 targets. A protein complex may comprise a single sensor domain, 2 sensor domains, 3 sensor domains, 4 sensor domains, or more than 4 sensor domains. A protein complex may comprise at least 2 sensor domains, at least 3 sensor domains, or at least 4 sensor domains. For example, a protein complex may comprise an IgM antibody comprising Fab region sensor domains, or an IgA antibody comprising 4 Fab region sensor domains.

(80) A protein complex may comprise a range of sensor-to-therapeutic domain ratios. A protein complex may comprise equal numbers of sensor domains and therapeutic domains, examples of which are provided by FIG. 14A, which illustrates a protein complex with 2 sensor domains and 2 therapeutic domains, and FIG. 8, which illustrates a protein complex with a single sensor domain and a single therapeutic domain. A protein complex may comprise a greater number of sensor domains than therapeutic domains, such as the protein complexes of FIGS. 9A, 9B, 9C, 9F, and 14B, which each comprise two sensor domains and one therapeutic domain. In such cases, a therapeutic domain may be capable of interacting with multiple sensor domains, or may be constrained from interacting with more than one sensor domain. The number of therapeutic domains with which a sensor domain may interact may depend on its linker. A linker may be sufficiently short so as to prevent a therapeutic domain from interacting with a sensor domain, or may be sufficiently long so as to allow a therapeutic domain to interact with multiple sensor domains.

(81) In specific cases, a protein complex may comprise an antibody with Fc-coupled therapeutic and sensor domains. As illustrated in FIG. 14C, a protein complex may comprise an antibody with a first heavy chain C-terminal extension comprising a linker and a therapeutic domain, and a second heavy chain C-terminal extension comprising a linker and a sensor domain. An antibody of this design may comprise common targets across its Fab and C-terminal extension sensor domain. For example, the antibody Fab regions and C-terminal extension sensor domain may each target PD-1. Conversely, an antibody of this design may comprise separate targets across its Fab regions and C-terminal extension sensor domain.

(82) In some embodiments, an amino acid in the protein complex described herein may comprise a conservative substitution. A conservative substitution may comprise a substitution of one amino acid with a different amino acid with similar biochemical properties (e.g. charge, hydrophobicity, and size). Examples of conservative substitutions, as well as substitutions that may be, but are not necessarily, preferred, are provided in TABLE 33.

In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises plasmids or vectors that encode the therapeutic domain, the sensor domain, and the linker respectively. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises plasmids or vectors that encode any two of the therapeutic domain, the sensor domain, and the linker together.

(85) Pharmaceutical Formulations

(89) In addition to the treatment of cancer, the protein complexes of the present disclosure have potential applications in a variety of other settings where targeted, conditional activity may be advantageous. In autoimmune and inflammatory disease, therapeutics that act through global immune suppression have the disadvantage of leaving patients more susceptible to a variety of opportunistic infections. Additionally, the short half-life and lack of accumulation in disease tissues may limit the efficacy of immune-dampening recombinant cytokines. The protein complexes of the present disclosure may address these shortcomings by allowing targeted delivery of immune modulators including IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β, and TNFR2 selectively to affected anatomical locations while remaining silent in the periphery. Additional applications may include cell type-specific therapeutic targeting, such Treg cell-directed IL-2. Targeted, conditional activation of opioid agonists in specific organs or in the presence of markers of inflammation may reduce the addictive risk of pain control.

(90) A protein complex may be administered as a pharmaceutical composition. A pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure can be a combination of any protein complex described herein with other chemical components, such as carriers, stabilizers, diluents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, and/or excipients. The pharmaceutical composition facilitates administration of a protein complex described herein to an organism. Pharmaceutical compositions can be administered in therapeutically-effective amounts as pharmaceutical compositions by various forms and routes including, for example, intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, rectal, aerosol, parenteral, ophthalmic, pulmonary, transdermal, vaginal, optic, nasal, oral, inhalation, dermal, intra-articular, intrathecal, intranasal, and topical administration.

In some embodiments, a protein complex may be applied directly to a cancerous tissue (e.g., a tumor). The protein complexes described herein can be administered topically and can be formulated into a variety of topically administrable compositions, such as solutions, suspensions, lotions, gels, pastes, medicated sticks, balms, creams, and ointments. Such pharmaceutical compositions can contain solubilizers, stabilizers, tonicity enhancing agents, buffers and preservatives.

(93) In practicing the methods of treatment or use provided herein, therapeutically-effective amounts of the protein complex described herein are administered in pharmaceutical compositions to a subject suffering from a condition. In some instances the pharmaceutical composition will affect the physiology of the animal, such as the immune system, inflammatory response, or other physiologic affect. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal such as a human. A therapeutically-effective amount can vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compounds used, and other factors.

(94) Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated using one or more physiologically-acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries, which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Formulation can be modified depending upon the route of administration chosen. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a protein complex described herein can be manufactured, for example, by expressing the protein complex in a recombinant system, purifying the protein complex, lyophilizing the protein complex, mixing, or dissolving. The pharmaceutical compositions can include at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient and compounds described herein as free-base or pharmaceutically-acceptable salt form.

(95) Methods for the preparation of protein complexes described herein include formulating the protein complex described herein with one or more inert, pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients or carriers to form a solid, semi-solid, or liquid composition. Solid compositions include, for example, powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. These compositions can also contain minor amounts of nontoxic, auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, and other pharmaceutically-acceptable additives.

(96) Certain methods described herein comprise administering to the subject an intravenous pharmaceutical composition comprising a protein complex of the present disclosure, for example, as described herein. Intravenous pharmaceutical compositions of protein complexes include any formulation suitable for administration to a subject via any intravenous method, including a bolus, an infusion which occurs over time or any other intravenous method known in the art. In some aspects, the rate of infusion is such that the dose is administered over a period of less than five minutes, more than five minutes but less than 15 minutes or greater than 15 minutes. In other aspects, the rate of infusion is such that the dose is administered over a period of less than 5 minutes. In other aspects, the rate of infusion is such that the dose is administered over a period of greater than 5 minutes and less than 15 minutes. In some other aspects, the rate of infusion is such that the dose is administered over a period of greater than 15 minutes.

(97) “Product” or “dosage form” as used herein refers to any solid, semi-solid, lyophilized, aqueous, liquid or frozen formulation or preparation used for administration. Upon administration, the rate of release of an active moiety from a product is often greatly influenced by the excipients and/or product characteristics which make up the product itself. For example, an enteric coat on a tablet is designed to separate that tablet's contents from the stomach contents to prevent, for example, degradation of the stomach which often induces gastrointestinal discomfort or injury. According to the currently accepted conventional understanding, systemic exposure of the active moiety will be relatively insensitive to the small formulation changes.

(98) Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients can be found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Nineteenth Ed (Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company, 1995); Hoover, John E., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. 1975; Liberman, H.

Example 1

Selection of IFNα and PD-L1 Specific Dual Binding Antibodies (DBAs)

(111) This example describes isolation of sensor domains of the present disclosure, specifically, selection of IFNα and PD-L1 specific dual binding antibodies (DBAs). Anti-PD-L1 and anti-IFNα DBAs were isolated from a Tumbler antibody phage display library (Distributed Bio, Inc.). The antibody phage display library was constructed to incorporate the heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR2, and light chain diversity of the Superhuman 2.0 antibody library combined with 10 heavy chain (“HC”) CDR3 sequences (SEQ ID NO: 1-SEQ ID NO: 10) from the PD-L1 binding antibodies described, as shown below in TABLE 2.

(113) The library was subjected to four rounds of selection alternating between PD-L1 (to develop the PD-L1 binding, where PD-L1 serves as a marker) and IFNα (to develop IFNα binding, where IFNα is the therapeutic domain regulated by the sensor domain). Each round the phage library was incubated with the antigen (PD-L1 or IFNα), captured on magnetic beads, washed on a Kingfisher magnetic particle processor, eluted from the magnetic beads, and amplified by passaging in E. coli. In Round 1, the phage library was incubated with 50 nM of a human PD-L1-Fc fusion (R&D Systems, Prod. Num. 156-B7) and captured on protein G magnetic beads. In Round 2, the phage library was incubated with 100 nM of biotinylated human IFNα (Genscript, Prod. Num. Z03003, biotinylated using standard protocols) and captured on streptavidin magnetic beads. In Round 3, the phage library was incubated with 50 nM of a cynomolgus PD-L1-Fc fusion and captured on protein G magnetic beads. In Round 4, the phage library was incubated with 50 nM of biotinylated human IFNα and captured on streptavidin magnetic beads. The final selection was plated as single colonies and 380 colonies were picked for Sanger sequencing. Forty-one unique clones were chosen for expression. The scFv sequence for each clone was codon-optimized for E. coli expression and the corresponding DNA sequences synthesized as gBlocks (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.) with a T7 promoter, a translation initiation site, a Myc tag, the scFv sequence, a V5 tag sequence, and a T7 terminator. If the framework sequence of the antibody variable regions differed from the germline sequence, a second version of the clone was synthesized with the germline sequence. An exemplary sequence of a gBlock expression fragment is shown in

Proteins from each of the gBlock fragments were expressed using a cell-free transcription/translation system (Cosmo Bio USA, Inc., PUREfrex2.1, Product #GFK-PF213 with DS Supplement, Prod. #GFK-PFof5).

(115) The cell-free expression samples containing V5-tagged scFvs were serially diluted in a 384-well plate. Alexa Fluor 647-labeled anti-V5 antibody was added to each well along with Eu-labeled IFNα 2a or PD-L. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours and the HTRF signal was read on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) equipped with an HTRF laser module. To examine the ability of DBA binding domains to block Interferon alpha Receptor 2 (dFNAR2) binding to IFNα, V5-tagged DBA scFvs were synthesized using the PUREfrex 2.1 in vitro translation system and serially diluted in a 384 well plate. Eu-labeled IFNα was added to each well along with IFNAR2-Fc and an APC-labeled anti-Fc antibody. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours, and the HTRF signal was read on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) as a measure of IFNα:IFNAR2 binding. Fluorescence signal values from the binding and inhibition curves is summarized in TABLE 4 and binding curves for IFNα and PD-L1 are shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, respectively. IFNAR2 blocking curves are shown in FIG. 6. DBAs having sequences of SEQ TD NO: 21-SEQ TD NO: 27 were able to bind both IFNα (FIG. 4) and PD-L1 (FIG. 5). SEQ TD NO: 24 blocked binding of IFNα to IFNAR2, and SEQ TD NO: 26 reduced binding of IFNα to IFNAR2 (FIG. 6).

(120) This library was subjected to four rounds of selection with standard protocols. In brief, the phage library was incubated with the antigen, then captured on magnetic beads and washed on a Kingfisher magnetic particle processor, eluted form the magnetic beads and amplified by passaging in E. coli. Round 1 was incubated with 50 nM human PD-1-His fusion (R&D Systems, Prod. Num. 8986-PD) and captured with TRIS NTA Biotin (Sigma-Aldrich Prod. Num. 75543) and streptavidin magnetic beads. Round 2 was incubated with 100 nM biotinylated IL-2 (Creative Biomart, Prod. Num. IL2-501H, biotinylated using standard protocols) and captured on streptavidin magnetic beads. Round 3 was incubated with 50 nM cynomolgus PD-1-Fc fusion (R&D Systems, Prod. Num. 8578-PD) and captured on protein G magnetic beads. Round 4 was incubated with 50 nM biotinylated human IL-2 and captured on streptavidin magnetic beads. The final selection was plated as single colonies and 380 colonies picked for Sanger sequencing. One hundred and fifty-one unique clones were chosen for expression. The scFv sequence for each clone was codon-optimized for E. coli expression and the corresponding DNA sequences sent to Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (IDT) for synthesis as gBlocks with a T7 promoter, a translation initiation site and a T7 terminator (see an exemplary gBlock sequence in FIG. 3). Protein from each gBlock encoding an scFv was expressed using the PURExpress In vitro Protein Synthesis Kit (New England Biolabs, Inc., Prod. Num. E6800). The PURExpress scFv proteins were used directly in HTRF binding assays and cell-based functional assays. Each scFv was tested for binding to PD-1 and to human IL-2. Eighty-one of the antibodies showed dual-binding activity for both PD-1 and IL-2 and a summary of fluorescence signal values of binding curves is shown in TABLE 7. To examine the ability of DBA binding domains to block IL-2 receptor binding, V5-tagged DBA scFvs were serially diluted in a 384 well plate. Europium-labeled Streptavidin, biotin-labeled IL-2 (Acro Biosystems, Prod. Num. IL2-H82E4), IL-2 Receptor beta (Fc-IL2RB) (Acro Biosystems, Prod. Num. ILB-H5253), and APC-labeled anti-Fc antibody. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours, and the HTRF signal was read on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) as a measure of IL-2:IL2RB binding. Four scFvs (SEQ TD NO: 31-SEQ TD NO: 34) bound PD-1, bound IL-2 and blocked binding of IL-2 to IL-2RB (TABLE 7).

Competitive Binding for Targets of Dual Binding Antibodies (DBAs)

(123) This example describes competitive binding between the marker and the therapeutic domain of dual binding antibodies (DBAs). To test the ability of PD-L1 (marker) to compete with IFNα (therapeutic) for binding to the DBA binding domains, V5-tagged DBA or control scFvs were synthesized using the PUREfrex 2.1 in vitro translation system and added to a 384 well plate at a single dilution. Eu-labeled PD-L1 and Alexa Fluor 647-labeled anti-V5 antibody were added to all wells and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Titrated concentrations of IFNα were added to all wells and the plate was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The HTRF signal was read on Envision (Perkin Elmer). As shown in FIG. 7, IFNα competed with PD-L1 for binding to DBA clones B09 (SEQ ID NO: 24) and C08 (SEQ ID NO: 26), whereas the binding of an anti-PD-L1 mono-specific antibody was unaffected by the concentration of IFNα.

Example 4

Screening Dual Binding Antibodies (DBAs) for Improved Binding Affinity

(124) This example illustrates screening dual binding antibodies (DBAs) for improved binding affinity. The sequences for each DBA were aligned with the parental, single specificity antibody from which it was derived and with other DBAs derived from the same parental, single specificity antibody. Using this sequence information, variants with amino acid substitutions in and adjacent to the CDR regions were designed to test for altered binding to either antigen. Additionally, consideration was given to sequence variants that may improve stability. Representative variants are shown in TABLE 8 and TABLE 9. CDR sequences provided in TABLE 8 and TABLE 9 correspond to HCDR1-HCDR2-HCDR3, with substitutions underlined and in bold. Sequences of dual binding PD-L1 and IFNα variants are provided in TABLE 10.

(128) The scFv sequence for each variant was codon-optimized for E. coli expression and the corresponding DNA sequences synthesized as gBlocks (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.) with a T7 promoter, a translation initiation site, a Myc tag, the scFv sequence, a V5 tag sequence and a T7 terminator. Proteins encoded by the gBlock fragments were expressed using a cell-free transcription/translation system (Cosmo Bio USA, Inc., PUREfrex2.1, Product #GFK-PF213 with DS Supplement, Prod. #GFK-PF005). The cell-free expression samples were assayed for PD-L1 and IFNα binding as described in EXAMPLE 1.

(129) Variants with different binding affinities may also be generated by display methods, such as phage display and mRNA display. Libraries for use in these methods may be created from the parental antibody by varying CDRs with random amino acid changes or by varying positions in the CDRs identified as suitable for change.

Binding Affinity of Dual Binding Antibodies (DBAs)

(130) This example describes binding affinity of protein complexes, specifically, dual binding antibodies (DBAs). Variants were synthesized as V5-tagged scFvs using the PUREfrex 2.1 in vitro translation system and diluted 1:30 in 1× kinetics buffer (KB, forteBIO) for testing. Biotinylated anti-V5 antibody (clone SV5-Pk1 BioRad, biotinylated using EZ-Link® Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin, THERMO) was diluted to 80 nM in 1× KB, then loaded onto streptavidin biosensor tips (SA, forteBIO) on an OctetRED96e instrument. These tips were then loaded with scFv for 240 seconds. The loaded tips were transferred to 1× KB for 60 seconds to establish baseline, then dipped into 160 nM ACRO human PDL1-his for 150 seconds to measure association, then into 1× KB for 180 seconds to measure dissociation. Immediately following this dissociation, baseline signal in 1× KB was measured, the tips were dipped into 5,000 nM IFNα2b (GenScript) for 150 seconds to measure association, then into 1× KB for 240 seconds to measure dissociation. Data were fit to a 1:1 kinetics model. Response for binding of IFNα2b was qualitative negative or positive. Sequences of the DBA variants used in TABLE 11 are provided in TABLE 8 and TABLE 9.

(132) The affinity of the DBA in this or other antibody formats may be measured in a similar manner to generate quantitative or semi-quantitative measurements using standard methods of measurement of protein interaction, including biolayer interferometry (e.g., Octet, Molecular Devices LLC.) surface plasmon resonance (e.g., BiaCore, GE Healthcare Life Sciences), kinetic exclusion (KinExA, Sapidyne Instruments, Inc.), or other biophysical methods. In addition, apparent affinity of a target for the DBA in the covalently linked construct may be measured with these methods by competition for a nonlinked binding agent.

Dual Binding Antibody (DBA)-Cytokine Protein Complexes

(133) This example describes dual binding antibody (DBA)-cytokine protein complexes of the present disclosure. Various DBA-cytokine protein complexes of the present disclosure were designed to include a cytokine, a linker, and one or more dual binding antibody domains. An exemplary protein complex is shown in FIG. 8 (at left) and its amino acid sequence is shown in FIG. 8 (at right). Pictorial representations of other exemplary constructs are shown in FIG. 9 (SEQ ID NO: 42-SEQ ID NO: 54 and SEQ ID NO: 77-SEQ ID NO: 79).

(134) A series of DBA-cytokine protein complexes may be designed with two marker binding domains and one therapeutic domain. The DBAs used in this series, provided in TABLE 13 with sequences provided in TABLE 14, exhibit a range of affinities for the marker and the therapeutic domain. Exemplary DBA complexes are provided in TABLE 12, TABLE 15, and TABLE 16.

were synthesized, expressed in HEK293 cells and Protein A purified (GenScript). Titrated concentrations of the DBA-cytokine complexes and antibody-cytokine controls were added to a 96-well plate along with 50,000 type I IFNα reporter cells (InvivoGen) in complete DMEM (+10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate). Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight and developed by adding 20 uL of culture supernatant to 180 uL QUANTI-Blue Solution (InvivoGen). After a 30 minute incubation at room temperature, plates were read on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) at 630 nm. In the absence of PD-L1, the IFNα tethered PD-L1-IFNα DBA complexes C08 and B09 show decreased reporter activation compared to equimolar amounts of the control anti-PD-L1 or anti-HER2 IFNα immunocytokines (FIG. 10).

Reduced CD8.SUP.+ T Cell STAT5 Phosphorylation by a PD-1/IL-2 Dual Binding Antibody (DBA) Cytokine Complexes

(142) This example describes CD8+ T-cell STAT5 phosphorylation by PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes of the present disclosure. Genes for the PD-1/IL-2 DBAs shown in TABLE 17 were synthesized and expressed in HEK293 as IgG proteins with IL-2 fused to the N-terminus of the heavy or light chain through a linker (Genscript). Although only two of the antibodies blocked IL-2 binding to IL-2RB as scFvs, over 30 of the antibodies were able to reduce IL-2 signaling by a linked IL-2 domain. An exemplary set of these DBAs were chosen for analysis and compared to a control anti-HER2-IL-2 immunocytokine (TABLE 17).

(144) The PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes were serially diluted in complete RPMI (+1000 FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate) and added to a 96-well plate. 2×10.sup.5 human PBMCs were added to each well and plates were incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes. An equal volume prewarmed fixation buffer (Biolegend) was then added to each well and plates were incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Cells were then fixed in pre-chilled Perm Buffer III (BD Biosciences) for 30 minutes at 4′° C. Cells were washed with FACS wash buffer (PBS+2% FBS, 2 mM EDTA) and stained with fluorophore labeled antibodies directed against CD3, CD4, CD8, (BioLegend) and phospho-STAT5 (BD Biosciences) diluted 1:20 in FACS wash buffer. Cells were incubated 1 hour at 4° C., washed with FACS wash buffer, and analyzed on a SA3800 Spectral Analyzer. In the absence of PD-1, the PD-1/IL-2 DBA/cytokine complexes induced less STAT5 phosphorylation in T cells compared to the monospecific control anti-HER2 IL-2 immunocytokine (FIG. 11).

The proteins were expressed using a cell-free transcription/translation system (Cosmo Bio USA, Inc., PUREfrex2.1, Product #GFK-PF213 with DS Supplement, Prod. #GFK-PF005). 96-well ELISA plates were coated with anti-V5 antibody (SV5-pk1) at 50 ng/well overnight at 4° C. The plates were washed twice by adding 200 ul/well of SuperBlock with 0.05% Tween 20 (SBT), and the final SBT wash was incubated for 15 min at room temperature before aspiration. A dilution series of the protein for each construct in SBT was then added to the anti-V5-coated plates at 50 μl/well and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Each plate was then washed three times with PBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST). Bound constructs were then probed with either anti-IFNα, IFNAR2-Biotin, PDL1-hFc-Avi or the combination of IFNAR2-Biotin and PDL1-hFc-Avi in SBT at 50 ul/well for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were washed 3× with PBST. Goat anti-mIgG-TRP or Streptavidin-TRP was added at 50 ul/well and incubated for 30 min at room temperature followed by 3× wash with PBST. Plates were developed by adding 50 ul/well of TMB and the reaction was terminated with an equal volume of ELISA stop solution. As shown in FIG. 12 (top left), IFNAR2 binding to the DBA-IFNα complex (SEQ ID NO: 41) increased in a dose dependent manner with the addition of PD-L1. IFNAR2 binding to a control HER2-specific antibody-IFNα complex (SEQ ID NO: 56) was unaffected by the addition of PD-L1 (FIG. 12 top right). IFNAR2 binding to a DBA-IFNα complex containing SEQ ID NO: 55, was not affected by addition of PD-L1 at these concentrations (FIG. 12 bottom). The protein complex of SEQ ID NO: 55 is similar to the protein complex of SEQ ID NO: 41, except that the sensor domain of SEQ ID NO: 55 has a higher affinity for IFNα than the sensor domain of SEQ ID NO: 41. Protein complexes of the present invention may need the correct balance between their affinity for the marker and their affinity for the therapeutic domain.

Example 10

PD-L1/IFNα Protein Complexes for PD-L1 Dependent IFNα Activity In Vitro

(146) This example describes PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes for PD-L1 dependent IFNα activity in vitro. PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes comprise a DBA capable of binding PD-L1 marker and an IFNα therapeutic domain where the protein complex is linked to the IFNα therapeutic cytokine via a linker. In the absence of PD-L1, the PD-L1 sensor domain binds the IFNα therapeutic domain, rendering the IFNα therapeutic inert. In the presence of PD-L1 (e.g., PD-L1 is expressed on a cell, such as a tumor cell or immune cell), the PD-L1 sensor domain binds PD-L1, thereby unbinding the IFNα therapeutic domain and allowing for IFNα to exhibit therapeutic activity.

(147) PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes are designed and recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes are administered in vitro to a cell (e.g., in cell culture). In the absence of the PD-L1 marker, the IFNα domain remains bound to the PD-L1 sensor domain and no therapeutic effect is observed. The cell may express PD-L1 endogenously or after activation, or following introduction of a gene encoding PD-L1. If the cell is a tumor cell expressing a PD-L1 marker, the therapeutic effect may be inhibition of cell growth or induction of IFNα-responsive genes. Where the cell is an immune cell, the therapeutic effect may be cell growth, activation or induction of IFN-responsive genes. Where the cell is part of a mixture of cell types, any of these changes may be monitored for a responding cell population in the mixture.

Example 11

PD-L1 Dependent IFNα Activity In Vivo

(148) This example describes PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes for PD-L1 dependent IFNα activity in vivo. PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes comprise a PD-L1 sensor domain (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibody or an anti-PD-L1 scFv) linked to an IFNα cytokine via a linker, where the IFNα cytokine is a therapeutic. In the absence of PD-L1, the PD-L1 sensor domain binds the IFNα therapeutic domain, rendering the IFNα therapeutic inert. In the presence of PD-L1 (e.g., PD-L1 is expressed on a cell, such as a tumor cell or immune cell), the PD-L1 sensor domain binds PD-L1, thereby unbinding the IFNα therapeutic domain and allowing for IFNα to exhibit therapeutic activity.

(149) PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes are recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. PD-L1/IFNα protein complexes are administered in vivo to a subject in need thereof. Administration is performed intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally, or mucosally. In the absence of PD-L1, the IFNα therapeutic domain remains bound to the PD-L1 sensor domain and no therapeutic efficacy is observed (e.g., cell proliferation in the subject is uninhibited). In the presence of PD-L1, the PD-L1 sensor domain binds PD-L1 and unbinds the IFNα therapeutic domain. Therapeutic efficacy is observed (e.g., cell proliferation is inhibited or immune cell activation occurs). The cell is a tumor cell expressing PD-L1. The subject is a human or non-human animal in need thereof. The subject has a disease. The disease is cancer.

Example 12

PD-1 Dependent IL-2 Activity In Human Cells

(150) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 protein complexes for PD-1 dependent IL-2 activity in human cells, in vitro and in vivo. PD-1/IL-2 protein complexes comprise a PD-1 sensor domain (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody or an anti-PD-1 scFv) linked to an IL-2 cytokine therapeutic domain via a linker, where the IL-2 cytokine is a therapeutic. In the absence of PD-1, the PD-1 sensor domain binds the IL-2 therapeutic domain, rendering the IL-2 therapeutic inert. In the presence of PD-1 (e.g., PD-1 is expressed on a cell, such as an immune cell), the PD-1 sensor domain binds PD-1, thereby unbinding the IL-2 therapeutic domain and allowing for IL-2 to exhibit therapeutic activity.

(151) PD-1/IL-2 protein complexes are recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. PD-1/IL-2 protein complexes are administered in vitro to a human cell or in vivo to a mouse or to a human subject in need thereof. The human cell is a cell expressing PD-1. Administration to a mouse or to a human subject is performed intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally, or mucosally. In the absence of PD-1, the IL-2 therapeutic domain remains bound to the PD-1 sensor domain and no therapeutic efficacy is observed (e.g., cell activation in vitro and in the subject is unaltered). In the presence of PD-1, the PD-1 sensor domain binds PD-1 and unbinds the IL-2 therapeutic domain. Therapeutic efficacy is observed (e.g., cell activation is observed in vitro and, in the subject, in vivo). The subject has a disease. The disease is cancer. The cell may express PD-1 endogenously or after activation, or following introduction of a gene encoding PD-1. The therapeutic effect may be cell growth, differentiation, activation or induction of IL2-responsive genes. In vitro, if the cell is part of a mixture of cell types, any of these changes may be monitored for a responding cell population in the mixture.

Example 13

Bioactivity in Tumor Tissues

(152) This example describes bioactivity in tumor tissues. A protein complex of the present disclosure is recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. The protein complex includes a sensor domain linked to a therapeutic domain. The linker is a peptide linker. The sensor domain is capable of binding to the therapeutic and a marker. In the absence if the marker, the sensor domain binds the therapeutic domain, rendering the therapeutic domain unable to bind to its target and unable to exert therapeutic activity. In the presence of the marker, the sensor domain binds the marker rendering the therapeutic domain free to bind to its target and able to exert therapeutic activity. The protein complex is administered in vitro to a cell or in vivo to a subject in need thereof. The cell expresses the marker to which the sensor domain binds. The cell is a tumor cell or immune cell. The subject is a human or non-human animal. The subject has a disease. The disease is cancer. Administration to a subject is performed intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally, or mucosally.

(153) Upon administration of the protein-complex, the sensor domain binds the marker in vitro or in vivo in the subject and unbinds the therapeutic domain. Therapeutic efficacy is observed in vitro or in vivo in the subject, for example, cell proliferation of tumor cells is slowed down or completely halted and tumor cells are eliminated.

Example 14

Activity in Tumor Models of Protein Complexes

(154) This example describes activity in tumor models. The tumor models assess the efficacy and systemic on-target effects of the protein complexes. The tumor model assesses the ability of a protein complex of the present disclosure to exhibit sensor domain regulated activity of the therapeutic domain.

(155) A protein complex of the present disclosure is recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. The protein complex includes a sensor domain linked to a therapeutic domain. The linker is a peptide linker. The sensor domain is capable of binding to the therapeutic domain and a marker. In the absence of the marker, the sensor domain binds the therapeutic domain rendering the therapeutic domain unable to bind to its target and unable to exert therapeutic activity. In the presence of the marker, the sensor domain binds the marker rendering the therapeutic domain free to bind to its target and able to exert therapeutic activity. The protein complex is administered in a tumor model, in vitro or in vivo. The tumor cells or the immune cells in the tumor model express the marker to which the sensor domain binds. Administration in vivo is performed intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally, or mucosally.

(156) Tumor measurement. Prior to administration of the protein-complex, or in a control sample where the protein-complex is not administered, measurements of the tumor indicate that the tumor is continuing to proliferate. For example, a solid tumor in a tumor model (e.g., a mouse model of a tumor) is measured using calipers. Prior to administration of the protein-complex, or in a control sample where the protein-complex is not administered, the solid tumor continues to grow in size, as indicated by increasing measurements of tumor size with calipers. Upon administration of the protein-complex, over time, the sensor domain binds the marker expressed on the tumor and the therapeutic domain is unbound, thus, resulting in therapeutic efficacy. Therapeutic efficacy is validated by observing decreasing measurements of tumor size with calipers over time.

(157) Immune activation. Prior to administration of the protein-complex, or in a control sample where the protein-complex is not administered, the solid tumor continues to grow in size, as indicated by increasing measurements of tumor size with calipers. Upon administration of the protein-complex, over time, the sensor domain binds the marker and the therapeutic domain is unbound, thus, resulting in therapeutic efficacy. Therapeutic efficacy is validated by observing differences in the immune cells in the tumor, lymph node or systemically, when compared to the control sample. The differences may be immune cell phenotypes, activation state, differentiation state or specificity.

(158) Systemic induction of cytokine markers. No induction of cytokine markers or reduced systemic induction of cytokine markers, when compared to the control, is observed upon administration of the protein complex.

(159) Weight loss. No weight loss or reduced weight loss, when compared to the control, is observed upon administration of the protein complex.

Example 15

PD-1/IL-2 DBA Cytokine Complex Induction of STAT5 Phosphorylation in a Lymphocyte Cell Line

(160) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex induction of STAT5 phosphorylation in a lymphocytic cell line. To assess the dependence of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex activity on binding to PD-1, a PD-1-expressing variant is generated of an IL-2R+ T cell line such as Hut78 or Jurkat E6.1. The PD-1+ and PD-1− variant cell lines are treated with titrating concentrations of a PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex of this disclosure, and STAT5 phosphorylation is assessed by phospho-flow, TR-FRET, or other assays for measuring IL-2 signaling.

(161) A HEK 293 IL-2 reporter cell line is engineered to express PD-1. The PD-1+ and PD-1-variant cell lines are treated with titrating concentrations of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes, and reporter activity is assessed as a measurement of IL-2 signaling. The PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex exhibits increased potency on PD-1+ variant cell lines.

Example 16

PD-1/IL-2 DBA Cytokine Complex Induction of STAT5 Phosphorylation and Other Markers of Activation, and Proliferation in Primary Lymphocytes

(162) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex induction of STAT5 phosphorylation and other markers of activation and proliferation in primary lymphocytes. PBMCs are labeled with cell proliferation dye and incubated for 4 days with titrating concentrations of a PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure. PBMCs are stained with antibodies directed against immune cell phenotyping markers to distinguish CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, Treg cells, and natural killer (NK) cells and markers of cell activation, such as CD25. Dye dilution on immune cell subsets is examined by flow cytometry as a measurement of proliferation.

(163) Total T cells are isolated from PBMCs using immunomagnetic negative selection (STEMCELL) and stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 for 72 hours to induce expression of PD-1. The PD-1+ T cells are incubated for 20 minutes with titrating concentrations of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes. STAT5 phosphorylation is measured in fixed and permeabilized T cells by flow cytometry. In some experiments, PD-1 may be blocked on T cells with anti-PD-1 prior to treatment with PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes to assess the dependence of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex activity on binding to PD-1. The PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex induces minimal STAT5 phosphorylation when PD-1 is blocked, showing activity that is conditional on its ability to bind PD-1.

Example 17

In Vivo PD-1/IL-2 DBA Cytokine Complex Signaling in Non-Tumor Peripheral Tissues

(164) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex pharmacokinetics in the blood of wild-type mice and the signaling of the complex in non-tumor peripheral tissue. The serum half-lives and peripheral tissue activities of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes and suitable non-regulated controls such as anti-PD-1, anti-HER2-IL-2, or anti-PD-1-IL-2 were measured in mice dosed intravenously (i.v.) with the complexes. Blood, spleens, or both were collected at various timepoints after treatment and stained to identify CD8+ T cells and NK cells.

(165) To examine the half-life of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex in circulation, wild-type C57BL/6 mice received a single 2.5 milligrams per kilogram intravenous dose of a PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex (2B07 IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 205-206), anti-HER2/IL-2-cytokine complex (Always-on IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 64 and SEQ ID NO: 207), or anti-IL-2/IL-2-cytokine complex (Always-off IL-2 mut; SEQ ID SEQ ID NO: 208-209), as outlined in TABLE 20. Mice were bled via retro-orbital sinus at 30 minutes, 4, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 168 hours post-dosing. The blood was collected into serum separator tubes, and the isolated serum was frozen at −80° C. until analysis. To determine serum levels of the cytokine complexes, 96-well high-binding ELISA plates were coated with 1 ug/mL rabbit anti-hu IL-2 capture antibody (clone ab9618, Abcam) in carbonate-bicarbonate buffer overnight at 4 C. Plates were washed three times and blocked for 1 hour with SuperBlock blocking buffer (Thermo Scientific). Serum samples from the various timepoints and treatment groups were diluted in SuperBlock, added to the plates, and incubated 1 hr. To detect cytokine complexes, plates were incubated with goat anti-mouse Fc-HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 1:5000 in SuperBlock for 1 hour. The plates were then washed and developed with TMB substrate. Absorbance (GD) was measured using an EnVision 2105 microplate reader (PerkinElmer) at 450 nm. As shown in FIG. 18, at all timepoints examined the PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex was detected at similar serum concentrations as the anti-IL-2/IL-2-cytokine complex. In contrast, the serum concentration of the non-regulated anti-HER2/IL-2-cytokine complex showed a greater decrease in serum concentration over time.

(167) To examine the activity of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes in peripheral tissues, wild-type C57BL/6 mice received a single 2.5 milligrams per kilogram intravenous dose of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex (2B07 IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 205-206), anti-HER2/IL-2-cytokine complex (Always-on IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 64 and SEQ ID NO: 207), anti-IL-2/IL-2-cytokine complex (Always-off IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 208-209), as shown in TABLE 20 or PBS. Prior to dosing, the presence of intact IL-2 within each IL-2 cytokine complex was confirmed by ELISA as a means of verifying their potential for biological activity. Blood and spleens were collected 5 days following treatment and analyzed by flow cytometry to quantify the number of CD8+ T cells and NK cells per spleen and per microliter of blood. The PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex did not induce expansion of CD8 T cells or NK cells, whereas the HER2/IL-2-cytokine complex induced expansion of peripheral CD8+ T cells and NK cells (FIG. 19A-D).

PD-1/IL-2 DBA Cytokine Complex Modulation of Anti-Tumor Immunity in Syngeneic Tumor Models

(168) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex modulation of anti-tumor immunity in a MC38 syngeneic mouse tumor model. A PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex was assessed for the ability to drive anti-tumor immunity in vivo. 500,000 MC38 tumor cells were implanted subcutaneously in human PD-1 knock-in mice (GenOway). Tumors were measured twice weekly, and volumes calculated as (Length×Width×Width/2). Mice were randomized into treatment groups, and treatments were initiated when tumors reached a volume of ˜100 mm.sup.3. Mice were treated intravenously with PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex (2B07 IL-2 mut; SEQ ID NO: 210-212), PD-1/IL-2 DBA lacking IL-2 (2B07; SEQ ID NO: 212-213), or an isotype control (SEQ ID NO: 214-215), as shown in TABLE 21 below, at the indicated doses of 5 or 0.5 milligrams per kilogram on days 7, 10, and 13 post tumor implantation. The PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex showed increased tumor growth inhibition compared to either the PD-1/IL-2 DBA lacking IL-2 or the isotype control (FIG. 20).

PD-1/IL-2 DBA Cytokine Complex Modulation of Anti-Tumor Immunity in Xenograft/Human Immune Cell Admixture Models

(170) This example describes PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex modulation of anti-tumor immunity in xenograft/human immune cell admixture models. To examine the ability of PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes to drive anti-tumor immunity in an in vivo setting, an admixture system is used. Total human PBMCs or a combination of human T cells and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) are mixed with human tumor cells (e.g., HPAC, A375, H441) at a 1:4 ratio and co-implanted subcutaneously into the flanks of NSG mice. One day later, treatment with a PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure, or suitable non-regulated controls such as anti-PD-1, anti-HER2-IL-2, or anti-PD-1-IL-2, is initiated. Tumors are measured at least twice weekly and volumes calculated as (Length×Width×Height/2). PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes exhibit increased anti-tumor efficacy compared to anti-PD-1 and anti-HER2-IL-2 and decreased off-tumor activity compared to anti-PD-1-IL-2.

Example 20

PD-L1/IFN-α DBA Cytokine Complex Induction of Myeloid Cell Maturation in the Presence of Plate-Bound PD-L1 or PD-L1-Expressing Tumor Cells

(171) This example describes PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex induction of myeloid cell maturation in the presence of plate-bound PD-L1 or PD-L1-expressing tumor cells. CD14+ monocytes are purified from fresh human PBMCs by immunomagnetic negative selection (STEMCELL). Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) are generated by culturing purified monocytes with hGM-CSF and hIL-4 in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS for 5 days. To examine the conditional activity of PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex, monocytes or moDCs are added to plates coated with either PD-L1 or HER-2 along with titrating concentrations of a PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure. In some experiments, human monocytes or moDCs are co-cultured with tumor cell lines expressing varying levels of PD-L1 and titrating concentrations of PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex. Cultures are incubated overnight at 37° C., and expression of CD80, CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR is assessed by flow cytometry as a measurement of myeloid cell activation. PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex is expected to induce monocyte and moDC activation solely in the presence of PD-L1.

Example 21

PD-L1/IFN-α DBA Cytokine Complex Induction of T cell Activation in a Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction

(172) This example describes PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex induction of T cell activation in a mixed lymphocyte reaction. To assess the direct and indirect effects of PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex on T cell function, CD14+ monocytes are isolated from human PBMCs using immunomagnetic negative selection (STEMCELL) and cultured for 5 days in the presence of hGM-CSF and hIL-4 to induce moDCs. CD8+ T cells are purified from human PBMCs of a different healthy donor and labeled with cell proliferation dye. The two cell types are combined in plates coated with PD-L1 or HER2 along with titrating concentrations of a PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure. In other experiments, the two cell types are cultured with titrating concentrations of PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex and tumor cell lines expressing varying levels of PD-L1. In other experiments, the cells may be of mouse origin. Cultures are incubated for 5 days, and T cell dye dilution is assessed by flow cytometry as a measurement of proliferation. The concentration of cytokines (e.g., IFN-γ) in culture supernatants is assessed by ELISA. The PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex increases T cell activation and proliferation solely in the presence of PD-L1.

Example 22

In Vivo PD-L1/IFN-α DBA Cytokine Complex Signaling in Peripheral Tissues

(173) This example describes in vivo PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex signaling in peripheral tissues. To examine PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex activity in non-tumor tissue, wild-type C57BL/6 mice are injected intravenously (i.v.) with 100 ug of either a PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure or a nonregulated immunocytokine of a comparable structure consisting of anti-PD-L1 and IFN-α (PD-L1-IFNα immunocytokine). Animals are weighed daily to monitor IFN-α induced toxicity. Serum is collected at 6 and 24 hours post dosing, and MCP-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels are quantified by ELISA. In some groups, RNA is isolated from the spleen and liver 6 and 24 hours post dosing. Induction of IFN-stimulated genes including ISG15, IRF7, and MX2 is assessed by qPCR. Mice that received unregulated anti-PD-L1-IFN-α immunocytokine experience weight loss, increased serum cytokine levels, and IFN target gene induction, whereas those dosed with the PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex display minimal evidence of peripheral IFN-α signaling.

PD-L1-IFN-α DBA-Cytokine Complex Modulation of Anti-Tumor Immunity in Syngeneic Tumor Models

(174) This example describes PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex modulation of anti-tumor immunity in syngeneic tumor models. PD-L1/IFN-α DBA cytokine complex proteins are assessed for their ability to drive anti-tumor immunity in vivo. Wild-type or human PD-L1-expressing syngeneic mouse tumor cells (e.g., MC38, CT26, 4T1, or A20) are implanted subcutaneously into wild-type or human PD-L1 knock-in mice (Genoway). Tumors are measured at least twice weekly and volumes are calculated as (Length×Width×Height/2). Mice are randomized into different groups and therapy is initiated when tumors reached a volume of ˜100 mm.sup.3. Mice are treated i.v. or intratumorally with a PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex of the present disclosure or suitable nonregulated controls such as anti-PD-L1, anti-HER2-IFN-α immunocytokine, or anti-PD-L1-IFN-α immunocytokine. In some experiments, mice are sacrificed 5 days post treatment, and tumors are harvested and enzymatically dissociated for immunophenotyping. The frequency and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating immune cell subsets, including CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, Treg cells, NK cells, and DCs, is determined by flow cytometry. The PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex inhibits tumor growth to an equal or greater extent than anti-HER2-IFN-α, but with less off-tumor activity. The PD-L1/IFNα DBA-cytokine complex increases an anti-tumor immune response as indicated by the amount and phenotype of immune infiltrates to an equal or greater extent than anti-HER2-IFNα immunocytokine, but with less off-tumor activity.

Tumors are measured at least twice weekly and volumes are calculated as (Length×Width×Height/2). The PD-L1/IFN-α DBA-cytokine complex inhibits tumor growth to an equal or greater extent than anti-HER2-IFN-α, but with less off-tumor activity.

In Vitro and In Vivo Characterization of Protein Complexes

(176) This example describes the evaluation of DBA-cytokine complexes for in vitro and in vivo stability. A protein complex of the present disclosure is recombinantly expressed or chemically synthesized. The protein complex includes a sensor domain linked to a therapeutic domain. The linker is a peptide linker. The sensor domain is capable of binding to the therapeutic domain and a marker. In the absence if the marker, the sensor domain binds the therapeutic domain rendering the therapeutic domain unable to bind to its target and unable to exert therapeutic activity. In the presence of the marker, the sensor domain binds the marker rendering the therapeutic domain free to bind to its target and able to exert therapeutic activity.

(177) In vitro, the protein complexes are tested for stability and functionality at baseline or after incubation in conditions of stress, such as elevated temperature, pH changes, oxidative buffers, or serum/plasma, using methods of biophysical characterization to measure fragmentation, unfolding, or aggregation, and/or using methods to test for changes in functional activity. In vivo, the pharmacokinetic properties of the proteins are measured following dosing in a mammal, such as a mouse, rat, or non-human primate, and properties of distribution, clearance and degradation are measured. These measurements are used to engineer or select the optimal therapeutic form of the DBA-protein complex.

Regulated IL-2 Receptor Signaling by a PD-1/IL-2 Dual Binding Antibody (DBA) Cytokine Complex

(178) This example describes PD-1 regulated IL-2 activity in a HEK-Blue™ IL-2 reporter cell by PD-1/IL-2 DBA-cytokine complexes. The DBA-cytokine complexes and control antibody-cytokine complexes were produced in three formats shown in FIGS. 14A-C by expression in mammalian cells using standard protocols. The wells of a 384-well ELISA plate were coated with constant concentration of PD-1-Fc or an IgG1 control protein captured with an anti-Fc antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Prod. #109-005-098). The cytokine complexes were serially diluted 1:4 for 8 points in growth media from a starting concentration of 6 nM and incubated briefly before addition of the HEK-Blue™ IL-2 reporter cells.

(179) Results with a protein complexes comprising the structure shown in FIG. 14A are shown in FIG. 15A-D. As depicted in FIG. 14A, this symmetric format is comprised of one IL-2 linked to each antibody variable domain. The IL-2 activity of the PD-1/IL-2 DBA-IL-2 complex AF4379 comprising SEQ ID NO: 174-175 had an EC50 of 31 pM in the PD-1 coated wells versus 62 pM in the IgG1 coated wells, as shown in FIG. 15A, demonstrating PD-1 dependence.

(183) Results with protein complexes comprising the structures depicted in FIG. 14C are shown in FIGS. 17A-H. As depicted in FIG. 14C, these complexes are asymmetric and comprised of two identical monospecific Fab arms with a single IL-2 attached to one Fc domain by flexible linker and a single scFv attached to the other Fc domain by a flexible linker. The active PD-1/IL-2 DBA complexes, AF4403 comprising SEQ ID NO: 180, 195, 199 and AF4404 comprising SEQ ID NO: 180, 196, 199, are composed of anti-PD-1 domains in the Fab arms and a PD-1/IL-2 DBA scFv on the Fc arm. The control antibody-cytokine complexes are composed of a) antibody-cytokine complexes with an irrelevant antibody on the Fab arms with the DBA scFv on the Fc (AF4395 comprising SEQ ID NO: 64, 197, 202 and AF4396 comprising SEQ ID NO: 64, 198, 202), b) antibody-cytokine complexes with a non-DBA scFv on the Fc arm (AF4400 comprising SEQ ID NO: 180, 199-200 and AF4401 comprising SEQ ID NO: 180, 199, 201), and c) antibody-cytokine complexes with non-DBA antibodies in both the Fab and scFv domains (AF4392 comprising SEQ ID NO: 64, 202-203 and AF4393 comprising SEQ ID NO: 64, 202, 204). As shown in FIGS. 17B and 17D, the IL-2 activity of the DBA-cytokine complexes AF4403 and AF4404 had an EC50 of 31 pM and 26 pM respectively in the PD-1 coated wells and 62 pM and 64 pM respectively in the control wells, demonstrating PD-1 dependence of the IL-2 activity. None of the control proteins AF4395, AF4396, AF4400, AF4401, AF4392 and AF4393 described above showed a lower EC50 on PD-1 coated wells than on wells coated with the IgG1 protein, as shown in FIGS. 17A, 17C and 17E-H. Sequences of the protein complexes are summarized in TABLE 24 below.

Improved Regulation by Engineering DBA Affinity Using Standard Methods

(185) This example describes the use of standard techniques to modify DBA affinity and improve the range of sensor-dependent activation of a DBA-cytokine construct. A series of variants of the DBA PDL1-IFN R01 A05 (EXAMPLE 1) were prepared as described in EXAMPLE 4, assembled into DBA-cytokine-complexes and assayed as described in EXAMPLE 9. Results with six exemplary variant DBA-cytokine complexes are shown in FIG. 21A-F. Each plot includes data for IFNAR2 binding in the presence (triangles) and absence (squares) of PD-L1. Binding to a control IFNα antibody (circles) is used to confirm the presence of intact DBA-complex and provide a relative estimate of the amount of DBA-complex captured in the wells. AF2719 and the five variant DBA-cytokine complexes show negligible IFNAR2 binding in the absence of PD-L1 and different levels of IFNAR2 binding in the presence of PD-L1. AF3099 (SEQ ID NO: 293) shows negligible IFNAR2 binding at all concentrations of PD-L1, while the IFNAR2 binding signal with AF3092 (SEQ ID NO: 292) is similar to the anti-IFNα antibody binding. AF2719 (SEQ ID NO: 41), AF3101 (SEQ ID NO: 289), AF3093 (SEQ ID NO: 290) and AF3094 (SEQ ID NO: 291) show intermediate levels of IFNAR binding relative to anti-IFNα binding. Together, these results demonstrate that standard methods of antibody engineering may be used to improve the regulation of the therapeutic activity of a DBA-cytokine complex. Protein complex sequences are provided in TABLE 25 below.

Regulated Interferon Receptor Binding by PD-L1/IFNα Dual Binding Antibodies

(187) This example describes regulated interferon receptor binding by PD-L1/IFNα DBA-cytokine complexes. DBA-cytokine complexes AF2659 (SEQ ID NO: 276-277), AF2666 (SEQ ID NO: 96 and 277), AF2645 (SEQ ID NO: 95 and 112), AF2615 (SEQ ID NO: 279-280) and AF2616 (SEQ ID NO: 281-282) were chosen for analysis. The DBAs used to assemble these complexes were derived from three parental PD-L1/IFNα DBAs described in EXAMPLE 1: PDL1-IFN-R01-A05 (AF2659 and AF2666), PDL1-IFN-R01-C08 (AF2645) and PDL1-IFN-R01-B12 (AF2615 and AF2616) using standard antibody engineering techniques as described in EXAMPLE 4. Three control antibody-cytokine constructs were assembled from monospecific antibodies: AF2696 (anti-PDL1, SEQ ID NO: 283-284), AF2697 (anti-Her2, SEQ ID NO: 214 and 286) and AF2698 (anti-IFNα, SEQ ID NO: 287-288). Protein complex sequences are provided in TABLE 26 below. The eight antibody-cytokine complexes were produced as symmetric IgG molecules with IFNα appended to the N-terminus of the heavy chain through a flexible linker (AF2659, AF2666 and AF2645, shown schematically in FIG. 9e) or the N-terminus of the light chain through a flexible linker (AF2615, AF2616, AF2696, AF2697 and AF2698, shown schematically in FIG. 9d). The proteins were expressed in mammalian cells and purified using standard protocols. An ELISA assay was performed with a constant amount of the antibody-cytokine construct coated on each well probed with biotinylated interferon receptor (IFNAR2) in the presence of varying amounts of PD-L1-Fc or Her2-Fc. 384-well ELISA plates were coated with anti-Fc antibody at 10 micrograms/ml overnight at 4° C. and washed twice with SuperBlock. Twenty microliters of a 66.7 nM antibody-cytokine complex was added to each well, incubated for one hour and washed three times in PBS. Biotinylated IFNAR2 protein was added to each well at a final concentration of 5 nM with PD-L1-Fc protein or HER2-Fc protein at a final concentration of 0.64 nM, 3.2 nM, 16 nM, 80 nM, or 400 nM. The plates were incubated for an hour, washed and biotinylated IFNAR2 detection was performed using streptavidin-HRP and standard ELISA protocols. As shown in FIG. 22A-H, DBA-cytokine complexes AF2659, AF2666, AF2645, AF2615 and AF2616 show a dose-dependent induction of IFNAR2 binding in the presence of PD-L1 protein but were not affected by the same dose range of Her2 protein, demonstrating PD-L1 dependent INF activity in five DBA constructs derived from three different parental PD-L1/IFNA dual-binding antibodies. IFNAR2 binding to the three control antibody complexes AF2696, AF2697 and AF2698 was not significantly affected by PD-L1 concentration. Protein complexes of the present invention can be produced from multiple dual-binding antibodies using standard antibody engineering methods.

Selection of IL-15 and PD-L1 Specific Dual Binding Antibodies

(189) This example describes isolation of sensor domains of the present disclosure, specifically, selection of IL-15 and PD-L1 specific dual binding antibodies (DBAs). Anti-PD-L1 and anti-IL-15 DBAs were isolated from the IFNα Tumbler antibody phage display library described in EXAMPLE 1. The selection was similar to the protocol described in EXAMPLE 1, alternating between PD-L1 selection and IL-15 selection.

(190) The final selection was plated as single colonies and 380 colonies were picked for Sanger sequencing. Thirty-eight unique clones were screened for PD-L1 and IL-15 binding. The scFv DNA sequence for each clone was synthesized as a gBlock (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.) with a T7 promoter, a translation initiation site, a Myc tag, the scFv sequence, a V5 tag and a T7 terminator. Proteins were expressed using the PUREfrex2.1 cell-free transcription/translation system as described in previous examples. The scFv samples were subjected to ELISA analysis to detect PDL1 and IL15 binding. In these experiments, wells of a 384-well plate were coated with an anti-V5 antibody (Sv5-Pk1, BioRad) at 1 ug/ml overnight at 4 degrees. After washing, wells were blocked with SuperBlock (ThermoFisher, 37515) followed by addition of saturating levels of scFvs in SuperBlock. After washing, antigens were added and plates incubated for one hour (PDL1-hFc-Avi, Acro Biosystems, PDL-H82F2); AF33 (SEQ ID NO: 298-299), biotinylated using standard methods; controls of PD1-hFc-Avi (Acro Biosystems, PD1-H82F1); AF35 (SEQ ID 63-64), biotinylated using standard methods). Biotinylated antigens were detected using streptavidin HRP using standard methods. Varying amounts of labeled test antigen were added to show binding and to estimate relative affinities of the different scFvs. FIGS. 23A-D show the ELISA binding data for four exemplary dual-binding scFvs AF635 (SEQ ID NO: 216), AF636 (SEQ ID NO: 217), AF666 (SEQ ID NO: 218) and AF614 (SEQ ID NO: 219). All four antibodies show binding to both PD-L1 and IL-15, with binding to PD-L1 detectable at a lower concentration of the antigen. Protein complex sequences are summarized in TABLE 27 below.

Regulated IL-2 Receptor Signaling by a PD-L1/IL-15 Dual Binding Antibody (DBA) Cytokine Complex

(192) This example describes regulated IL-15 activity in a reporter cell line by PD-L1/IL-15 DBA-cytokine complexes. HEK-Blue™ IL-2 reporter cells (Invivogen Catalog #hkb-il2) were grown according to the vendors instructions. The cells express IL-2 receptor and respond to IL-2 or IL-15 signaling by induction of an enzyme that can be read with a colorimetric assay. The exemplary dual-binding scFv sequences AF635 (SEQ ID NO: 216), AF636 (SEQ ID NO: 217), AF666 (SEQ ID NO: 218) and AF614 (SEQ ID NO: 219) described in EXAMPLE 29 and TABLE 28, were used to assemble scFv DBA-cytokine complexes AF4455 (SEQ ID NO: 220), AF4456 (SEQ ID NO: 221), AF4457 (SEQ ID NO: 222), and AF4440 (SEQ ID NO: 223) respectively. Two monospecific anti-IL-15 scFv sequences were assembled into cytokine-scFv complexes AF4478 (SEQ ID NO: 224) and AF4479 (SEQ ID NO: 225) to serve as negative controls. Protein complex sequences are provided in TABLE 28 below. The proteins were expressed using a PUREfrex2.1 cell-free transcription/translation system. 384-well ELISA plates (Corning 3700) were coated with 25 microliters per well of 1 microgram per ml anti-V5 antibody (SV5-pk1) in 100 mM bicarbonate solution pH 9.0 overnight at 4° C. The plates were washed three times with 100 microliters PBS+ Tween and once with 50 ul/well of SuperBlock. The PUREfrex reactions for each sample were diluted 1:2, 160 in Superblock, added to the anti-V5-coated plates at 20 μl/well and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature to capture a uniform quantity of the scFv protein on the plate. Each plate was then washed three times with PBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST). PDL-1 protein (Acro Biosystems Product #PD1-H5358) or Fc protein (Acro Biosystems Product #FCC-H5214) was diluted in growth media (DMEM complete) to 2-fold higher than the final concentration and 12.5 microliters added per well. After a 15 minute incubation 12.5 microliters of HEK-Blue™ IL-2 reporter cells (12,500 cells) were added to each well and incubated overnight.

(194) The results are shown in FIGS. 24A-F. IL-15 activity increased in a dose dependent manner with the addition of PD-L1 (circles) but not with the addition of Fc protein (squares) for DBA-cytokine complexes AF4455 (SEQ ID NO: 220), AF4456 (SEQ TD NO: 221), AF4457 (SEQ TD NO: 222) and AF4440 (SEQ IDF: 223). IL-15 activity from the monospecific IL-15 scFv cytokine complexes AF4478 (SEQ TD NO: 224) and AF4479 (SEQ TD NO: 225) did not change with the addition of PD-L1 or Fc protein.

(195) The exemplary dual-binding antibody sequences from AF614 (SEQ TD NO: 219) and AF666 (SEQ TD NO: 218) were assembled into asymmetric IgG molecules with IL-15 appended to the N-terminus of one heavy chain through a flexible linker (as shown schematically in FIG. 9b) to create AF4591 (SEQ TD NO: 226-228) and AF4592 (SEQ TD NO: 229-231) respectively. Two controls were assembled in the same format from an anti-G-15 antibody (AF4659, SEQ ID NO: 232-234) and a PDL1-IFN dual-binding antibody (AF4660, SEQ TD NO: 235-237). Protein complex sequences are summarized in TABLE 29. The proteins were expressed in mammalian cells and purified using standard protocols. The four antibody-cytokine complexes were assayed for IL-15 activity using HEK-Blue™ IL-2 reporter cells in an assay similar to that described above, with the exception that all of the proteins were in solution in the growth media. The purified antibody-cytokine complexes were diluted to a final concentration of 100 pM and assayed in varying concentrations of PD-L1 or a control IgG1 antibody.

Selection and Binding of IFN and CEA Specific Dual Binding Antibodies

(199) This example describes isolation of sensor domains of the present disclosure, specifically, selection of IFNα and CEA specific dual binding antibodies (DBAs). Anti-CEA and anti-IFNα DBAs were isolated from a Tumbler antibody phage display library similar to the library described in EXAMPLE 1. The antibody phage display library was constructed to incorporate the heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR2, and light chain diversity of the Superhuman 2.0 antibody library combined with various heavy chain (“HC”) CDR3 sequences from anti-IFNα antibodies (TABLE 18). The selection was similar to the protocol described in EXAMPLE 1, using one round of IFNα selection (IFNα2b, GenScript, Z03002, biotinylated using standard protocols) and one round of CEA selection (CEA-hFc, Sino Biologicals, 11077-H02H).

(201) Following two rounds of selection in phage, the resulting library of DBAs was subcloned into a yeast surface display vector and transformed into yeast for further screening using standard protocols. The yeast library was sorted four times for binding to CEA and IFNα. In each round of sorting, the library was labeled with either CEA-Fc-biotin or IFNα-biotin, then with Streptavidin-PE (Abcam #ab239759), and sorted based on PE fluorescence on a Sony MA900 cell sorter. The four sorts were carried out with labelling at 100 nM CEA-Fc-biotin, 1000 nM IFNα-biotin, 10 nM CEA-Fc-biotin, and 20 nM CEA-Fc-biotin. Plasmids were rescued from the yeast after the final sort using a Zymoprep Yeast Plasmid Miniprep II kit (Zymo research D2004) and transformed into DH5a E. coli for cloning. Ninety-six colonies were picked for Sanger sequencing, from which thirty-four unique clones were identified and screened for IFNα and CEA binding. The scFv DNA sequence for each clone, including c-myc and V5 tags, was amplified by PCR using a forward primer containing a T7 promoter and a translation initiation site, and a reverse primer containing a T7 terminator. Proteins were expressed using the PUREfrex2.1 cell-free transcription/translation system as described in previous examples. The scFv samples were subjected to ELISA analysis to detect CEA and IFNα binding. In these experiments, wells of a 384-well plate are coated with an anti-V5 antibody (Sv5-Pk1, BioRad) at 1 ug/ml overnight at 4 degrees. After washing, wells are blocked with SuperBlock (ThermoFisher, 37515) followed by addition of saturating levels of scFvs in SuperBlock. After washing, antigens are added and plates incubated for one hour. Biotinylated IFNα is detected using streptavidin HRP and CEA-Fc is detected using anti-hFc-HRP, and developed using standard methods. Varying amounts of labelled test antigen were added to show binding and to estimate relative affinities of the different scFvs. FIG. 26 shows the ELISA binding data for five exemplary dual-binding scFvs binding to CEA. Because the binding affinity for IFNα was too low to detect by ELISA, the binding to IFNα was measured by Biolayer Interferometry (OctetRED96e) as described in Example 5. Results are tabulated in TABLE 19. All five show binding to both CEA and IFN, with binding to CEA detectable at a lower concentration of the antigen.

Regulated IFNAR2 (IFNα Receptor 2) Binding by a CEA-IFNα Dual Binding Antibody (DBA) Cytokine Complex

(203) This example describes regulated binding of IFN to the receptor IFNAR2 by CEA/IFN DBA-cytokine complexes in the form shown in FIG. 8. DBA-cytokine complexes of SEQ ID NO: 259, SEQ ID NO: 260 and SEQ ID NO: 261 were chosen for analysis with a negative control with a similar structure based on an IFNα monospecific binding scFv (SEQ ID NO: 300) and two non-IFNα binding scFvs (one with SEQ ID NO: 301 and one with SEQ ID NO: 302). DBA-cytokine complex and control protein complex sequences are summarized in TABLE 30. To test the ability of Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) to regulate the binding of IFNAR2, V5-tagged constructs were generated consisting of a CEA-IFN-α DBA scFv linked to IFN-α. scFvs were synthesized using the PUREfrex 2.1 in vitro translation system and added to a 384 well plate at a single dilution. Titrating concentrations of either CEA-Fc (SINO Biological) or PDL1-Fc (ACROBiosystems) were added, and the plate was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Eu-labeled IFNAR2 (ACROBiosystems) and Alexa Fluor 647-labeled anti-V5 antibody (Perkin Elmer) were added to all wells and incubated for 24 hours at room temperature. The HTRF signal was then read on an Envision 2105 microplate reader (Perkin Elmer). IFNAR2 was able to bind IFN-α on the DBA-scFv complex in the presence of increasing concentrations of CEA-Fc. No increase in IFNAR2 binding was seen in the presence of the PD-L1-Fc control protein, which does not bind the DBA-scFv protein complex. Results shown in FIGS. 27A-F demonstrate IFNAR2 binding increased in a dose dependent manner with the addition of CEA but not with the addition of control protein PDL1 for DBA-cytokine complexes of SEQ ID NO: 259 (FIG. 27A), SEQ ID NO: 260 (FIG. 27B) and SEQ ID NO: 261 (FIG. 27C). IFNAR2 binding from the monospecific IFN scFv cytokine complexes did not change with the addition of CEA or PD-L1.

Example 33

Selection and Binding of LRRC15 and IFNα Specific Dual Binding Antibodies

(205) This example describes isolation of sensor domains of the present disclosure, specifically, selection of LRRC15 and IFNα specific dual binding antibodies (DBAs). Anti-LRRC15 and anti-IFNα DBAs were isolated from the IFNα Tumbler antibody phage display library described in EXAMPLE 31. The selection was similar to the protocol described in EXAMPLE 1, using one round of IFNα selection (IFNα2b, GenScript, Z03002, biotinylated using standard protocols) and one round of LRRC15 selection (LRRC15-hFc, Sino Biologicals, 15786-H02H).

(206) After a first round of selection in phage on 100 nM IFNα and a second round on 100 nM LRRC15, the resulting library of DBAs was subcloned into a yeast surface display vector and transformed into yeast for further screening using standard protocols. The yeast library was sorted four times for binding to LRRC15 and IFNα. In each round of sorting, the library was labeled with either LRRC15-Fc-biotin or IFNα-biotin, then with Streptavidin-PE (Abcam #ab239759) and sorted based on PE fluorescence on a Sony MA900 cell sorter. The four sorts were carried out with labelling at 100 nM LRRC15-Fc-biotin, 1000 nM IFNα-biotin, 10 nM LRRC15-Fc-biotin, and 10 nM LRRC15-Fc-biotin. Plasmids were rescued from the yeast after the final sort using a Zymoprep Yeast Plasmid Miniprep II kit (Zymo research D2004) and transformed into DH5a E. coli for cloning. Ninety-six colonies were picked for Sanger sequencing, from which twenty-four unique clones were identified and screened for IFNα and LRRC15 binding. The scFv DNA sequence for each clone, including c-myc and V5 tags, was amplified by PCR using a forward primer containing a T7 promoter and a translation initiation site, and a reverse primer containing a T7 terminator. Proteins were expressed using the PUREfrex2.1 cell-free transcription/translation system as described in previous examples. The scFv samples were subjected to ELISA analysis to detect LRRC15 and IFNα binding. FIG. 28A shows the ELISA binding data for six exemplary scFvs to LRRC15. Because the IFNα binding affinity was too low to detect by ELISA for some scFvs, the binding to IFNα was also measured by Biolayer Interferometry (OctetRED96e) as described in Example 5. Results and antibody sequences are tabulated in FIG. 28B. All six show binding to both LRRC15 and IFNα, with binding to LRRC15 detectable at a lower concentration of the antigen. Protein complex sequences are provided in TABLE 31.

Regulated IFNAR2 (IFNα Receptor 2) Binding by a LRRC15-IFNα Dual Binding Antibody (DBA) Cytokine Complex

(208) This example describes LRRC15 dependent binding of IFN to the receptor IFNAR2 by LRRC15/IFN DBA-cytokine complexes. The cytokine complexes of this example are composed of a LRRC15-IFN-αL DBA IgG with IFN-α linked to the N-terminus of one heavy chain (a schematic of the structure is shown in FIG. 9B). DBA-cytokine complexes AF4581 (SEQ ID NO: 266-268), AF4586 (SEQ TD NO: 269-271), AF4587 (SEQ TD NO: 266-267, 272) and AF4588 (SEQ TD NO: 273-275) were chosen for analysis. Two cytokine complexes with the same structure were included as controls: AF4305 (SEQ TD NO: 294-296), which is based on a neutralizing anti-IFNα antibody, and AF4306 (SEQ TD NO: 64, 192, 297), which is based on an anti-Her2 antibody. Protein complex sequences are provided in TABLE 32. The six IgG-cytokines were expressed in mammalian cells using standard protocols and added to a 384 well plate at a single dilution. Titrating concentrations of either LRRC15-Fc (SINO Biological), PDL1-Fc (ACROBiosystems) or CEA-Fc (SINO Biological) were added, and the plate was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Eu-labeled IFNAR2 (ACROBiosystems) and Alexa Fluor 647-labeled anti-V5 antibody (Perkin Elmer) were added to all wells and incubated for 24 hours at room temperature. The HTRF signal was then read on an Envision 2105 microplate reader (Perkin Elmer). Results shown in FIGS. 29A-F demonstrate IFNAR2 binding increased in a dose dependent manner with the addition of LRRC15 but not with the addition of control protein PDL1 for DBA-cytokine complexes of AF4581, AF4586 and AF4587, demonstrating LRRC15-dependent regulation of IFNAR-binding activity. IFNAR2 binding from AF4588 and the monospecific IFN scFv cytokine complexes AF4305 and AF4306 did not change with the addition of LRRC15 or PD-L1.
