[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 63 / 010261, filed on April 15, 2020, and 63 / 162976, filed on March 18, 2021, the entire contents of the above-referenced applications, including any sequences in the listings and drawings, are incorporated herein by reference. SEQUENCE LISTING

[0002] The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been filed electronically in ASCII format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said ASCII copy, created on April 13, 2021, is named 135333_01920_2057_1308_SL.txt and is 714,773 bytes in size. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] The present disclosure presents tau binding compounds and adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles comprising the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the dysfunction and / or aggregation of the microtubule associated protein tau. Tau is normally a very soluble protein known to associate with microtubules based on the extent of its phosphorylation. Tau is considered a critical component of intracellular trafficking processes, particularly in neuronal cells, given their unique and extended structure. Hyperphosphorylation of tan depresses its binding to microtubules and microtubule assembly activity. Further, hyperphosphorylation of tan renders it prone to misfolding and aggregation. In tauopathies, the tau becomes hyperphosphorylated, misfolds and aggregates as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of paired helical filaments (PHF), twisted ribbons or straight filaments. These NFT are largely considered indicative of impending neuronal cell death and thought to contribute to widespread neuronal cell loss, leading to a variety of behavioral and cognitive deficits.

[0005] A genetically defined tauopathy was described when mutations in the tau gene were shown to lead to an autosomal dominantly inherited tauopathy known as frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). This provided evidence that changes in tau could lead to neurodegenerative changes in the brain. These molecules are considered to be more amyloidogenic, meaning they are more likely to become hyperphosphorylated and more likely to aggregate into NFT (Hutton, M. er al., 1998, Nature 393(6686):702-5).

[0006] Several approaches have been proposed for therapeutically interfering with progression of tau pathology and preventing the subsequent molecular and cellular consequences. Given that NFT are composed of hyperphosphorylated, misfolded and aggregated forms of tan, interference at each of these stages provides targets that can be pursued. Introducing agents that limit phosphorylation, block misfolding or prevent aggregation are promising strategies. It has also been suggested that introduction of anti-tau antibodies can prevent the trans-neuronal spread of tau pathology.

[0007] There remains a need for anti-tau antibodies for use in tauopathy treatment, diagnostics, and other applications. The present disclosure addresses this need with related compounds and methods described herein. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1. COMPOSITIONS

[0063] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compositions that interact with human microtubule associated protein tau. Such compositions may be antibodies that bind tau protein epitopes, referred to herein as “anti-tau antibodies.” Dysfunction and / or aggregation of tau is found in a class of neurodegenerative diseases referred to as tauopathies. Tau hyperphosphorylation leads to aggregation and depressed tau-dependent microtubule assembly. In tauopathies, the tau aggregates form paired helical filaments (PHF) found in neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). These aggregates lead to neuronal loss and cognitive decline. Anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure may be useful for treating and / or diagnosing tauopathies, as well as other applications described herein. Antibodies

[0064] In some embodiments, compounds (e.g., anti-tau antibodies) and compositions of the present disclosure include antibodies or fragments thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody described herein bind tau. For example, the antibody binds to an epitope, e.g., a confirmation epitope, phosphorylated epitope, or a linear epitope, on tau, e.g., as described herein.

[0065] As used herein, the term “antibody” is referred to in the broadest sense and specifically covers various embodiments including, but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g. bispecific antibodies formed from at least two intact antibodies), single chain Fv (scFv) formats, and antibody fragments (such as Fab, F(ab’), F(ab’)2, Fv, etc.), so long as they exhibit a desired functional or biological activity. Antibodies are primarily amino acid-based molecules but may also include one or more modifications (including, but not limited to the addition of sugar moieties, fluorescent moieties, chemical tags, etc.).

[0066] Antibodies (including antigen-binding fragments thereof) of the present disclosure may include, but are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies, bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, single chain antibodies, diabodies, linear antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab’) fragments, F(ab’)2 fragments, Fv fragments, fragments produced by a Fab expression library, variable domains, anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies (including, e.g., anti- 1d antibodies to antibodies of the invention), intracellularly made antibodies (i.e., intrabodies), codon-optimized antibodies, scFv fragments, tandem scFv antibodies, bispecific T-cell engagers, mAb2 antibodies, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), tetravalent bispecific antibodies, biosynthetic antibodies, native antibodies, miniaturized antibodies, unibodies, maxibodies, and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above.

[0067] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises at least one immunoglobulin variable domain sequence. An antibody may include, for example, full-length, mature antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of an antibody. For example, an antibody can include a heavy (H) chain variable domain sequence (abbreviated herein as VH), and a light (L) chain variable domain sequence (abbreviated herein as VL). In another example, an antibody includes two heavy (H) chain variable domain sequences and two light (L) chain variable domain sequence, thereby forming two antigen binding sites, such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’),, Fe, Fd, Fd’, Fv, single chain antibodies (scFv for example), single variable domain antibodies, diabodies (Dab) (bivalent and bispecific), and chimeric (e.g., humanized) antibodies, which may be produced by the modification of whole antibodies or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA technologies. These functional antibody fragments retain the ability to selectively bind with their respective antigen or receptor. Antibodies and antibody fragments can be from any class of antibodies including, but not limited to, IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE, and from any subclass (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and murine IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, and IgG3) of antibodies. The antibodies of the present disclosure can be monoclonal or polyclonal. The antibody can also be a human, humanized, CDR-grafted, or in vitro generated antibody. The antibody can have a heavy chain constant region chosen from, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. The antibody can also have a light chain chosen from, e.g., kappa or lambda.

[0068] In some embodiments, an antibody of the present disclosure comprises a functional fragment or variant thereof. Constant regions of the antibodies can be altered, e.g., mutated, to modify the properties of the antibody (e.g., to increase or decrease one or more of: Fc receptor binding, antibody glycosylation, the number of cysteine residues, effector cell function, or complement function).

[0069] As used herein, the term “antibody fragment” refers to a portion of an intact antibody or fusion-protein thereof, in some cases including at least one antigen binding region. Examples of antigen-binding fragments include: (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab’): fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CHI domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) a diabody (dAb) fragment, which consists of a VH domain; (vi) a camelid or camelized variable domain; (vii) a single chain Fv (scFv), see e.g., Bird ef al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston ef al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883); and (viii) a single domain antibody. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies. An antibody fragment can also be incorporated into single domain antibodies, maxibodies, minibodies, nanobodies, intrabodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, v-NAR and bis-scFv (see, for example, Hollinger and Hudson, Nature Biotechnology 23:1126-1136, 2005).”’ In some embodiments, papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called “Fab” fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site. Also produced is a residual “Fc” fragment, whose name reflects its ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab’)> fragment that has two antigen-binding sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. Antibodies of the present disclosure may include one or more of these fragments and may, for example, be generated through enzymatic digestion of whole antibodies or through recombinant expression.

[0070] In some embodiments, the antibody can be single domain antibody. Single domain antibodies can include antibodies whose complementary determining regions are part of a single domain polypeptide. Examples include, but are not limited to, heavy chain antibodies, antibodies naturally devoid of light chains, single domain antibodies derived from conventional 4-chain antibodies, engineered antibodies and single domain scaffolds other than those derived from antibodies. Single domain antibodies may be any of the art, or any future single domain antibodies. Single domain antibodies may be derived from any species including, but not limited to mouse, human, camel, llama, fish, shark, goat, rabbit, and bovine. According to another aspect of the invention, a single domain antibody is a naturally occurring single domain antibody known as heavy chain antibody devoid of light chains. Such single domain antibodies are disclosed in WO 9404678, for example. For clarity reasons, this variable domain derived from a heavy chain antibody naturally devoid of light chain is known herein as a VHH or nanobody to distinguish it from the conventional VH of four chain immunoglobulins. Such a VHH molecule can be derived from antibodies raised in Camelidae species, for example in camel, llama, dromedary, alpaca and guanaco. Other species besides Camelidae may produce heavy chain antibodies naturally devoid of light chain; such VHHs are within the scope of the invention.

[0071] “Native antibodies” are usually heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 Daltons, composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains. Genes encoding antibody heavy and light chains are known and segments making up each have been well characterized and described (Matsuda, F. er al., 1998. The Journal of Experimental Medicine. 188(11); 2151-62 and Li, A. et al., 2004. Blood. 103(12: 4602-9, the content of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide linkages varies among the heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain (Vu) followed by a number of constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain at one end (V1) and a constant domain at its other end; the constant domain of the light chain is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is aligned with the variable domain of the heavy chain.

[0072] As used herein, the term “variable domain” refers to specific antibody domains found on both the antibody heavy and light chains that differ extensively in sequence among antibodies and are used in the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen. In some embodiments, the VH and VL regions of the antibody described herein can be subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR).

[0073] As used herein, the term “hypervariable region” refers to a region within a variable domain that includes amino acid residues responsible for antigen binding. The amino acids present within the hypervariable regions determine the structure of the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) that become part of the antigen-binding site of the antibody.

[0074] As used herein, the term “CDR” refers to a region of an antibody that includes a structure that is complimentary to its target antigen or epitope. CDR regions generally confer antigen specificity and binding affinity. Other portions of the variable domain, not interacting with the antigen, are each referred to as a “framework region” (FR). The antigen- binding site (also known as the antigen combining site or paratope) includes the amino acid residues necessary to interact with a particular antigen. The exact residues making up the antigen-binding site may be determined by CDR analysis.

[0075] As used herein, the term “CDR analysis” refers to any process used to determine which antibody variable domain residues make up the CDRs. The extent of the framework region and CDRs has been precisely defined by a number of methods (see, Kabat, E. A., et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242; Chothia, C. er al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; and the AbM definition used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software. See, generally, e.g., Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains. In: Antibody Engineering Lab Manual (Ed.: Duebel, S. and Kontermann, R., Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg). CDR analysis may be conducted by co- crystallography with bound antigen. In some embodiments, CDR analysis may include computational assessments based on comparisons with other antibodies (Strohl, W.R. Therapeutic Antibody Engineering. Woodhead Publishing, Philadelphia PA. 2012. Ch. 3, p47-54, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). CDR analysis and / or the precise amino acid sequence boundaries may include the use of numbering schemes including, but not limited to, those taught by Kabat [Wu, T.T. er al., 1970, JEM, 132(2):211-50 and Johnson, G. er al., 2000, Nucleic Acids Res. 28(1): 214-8, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety], Chothia [Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196, 901 (1987), Chothia et al., Nature 342, 877 (1989), and Al-Lazikani, B. et al., 1997, J. Mol. Biol. 273(4):927-48, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety], Lefranc (Lefranc, M.P. et al., 2005, Immunome Res. 1:3), and Honegger (Honegger, A. and Pluckthun, A. 2001. J. Mol. Biol. 309(3):657-70, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). In some embodiments, the CDRs defined according the Chothia number scheme are also sometimes referred to as hypervariable loops.

[0076] For example, under Kabat, the CDR amino acid residues in the heavy chain variable domain (VH) are numbered 31-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the CDR amino acid residues in the light chain variable domain (VL) are numbered 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3).

[0077] Under Chothia the CDR amino acids in the VH are numbered 26-32 (HCDR1), 52- 56 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the amino acid residues in VL are numbered 26-32 (LCDR1), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 91-96 (LCDR3).

[0078] By combining the CDR definitions of both Kabat and Chothia, the CDRs consist of amino acid residues 26-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3) in human VH and amino acid residues 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR?2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) in human VL.

[0079] For certain antibodies of the invention, equivalent CDR sequences and framework region sequences, based on the Kabat, Chothia, and IMGT numbering systems, can be readily obtained based at least on Tables and sequences described herein, which provide SEQ ID NOs: for the equivalent CDR regions based on the Kabat, Chothia, and IMGT numbering systems, respectively. Also see FIGs. 1A-3B.

[0080] In general, the VH and VL domains have three CDRs each. VL CDRs are referred to herein as CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3, in order of occurrence when moving from N- to C- terminus along the variable domain polypeptide. VH CDRs are referred to herein as CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3, in order of occurrence when moving from N- to C- terminus along the variable domain polypeptide. Each of the CDRs have favored canonical structures with the exception of the CDRH3, which includes amino acid sequences that may be highly variable in sequence and length between antibodies resulting in a variety of three-dimensional structures in antigen-binding domains (Nikoloudis, D. et al., 2014. Peer]. 2:e456). In some cases, CDRH3s may be analyzed among a panel of related antibodies to assess antibody diversity. Various methods of determining CDR sequences are known in the art and may be applied to known antibody sequences (Strohl, W.R. Therapeutic Antibody Engineering. Woodhead Publishing, Philadelphia PA. 2012. Ch. 3, p47-54, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

[0081] In some embodiments, the VH and VL domains each have four framework regions (FRs) located before, after, and between CDR regions. VH framework regions are referred to herein as FRH1, FRH2, FRH3, and FRH4 and VL framework regions are referred to herein as FRL1, FRL2, FRL3, and FRL4. In some embodiments, on VH domains, FRs and CDRs are in the order of FRH1-CDRH1-FRH2-CDRH2-FRH3-CDRH3-FRH4, from N-terminus to C-terminus. In some embodiments, on VL domains, FRs and CDRs are in the order of FRL1- CDRLI1-FRL2-CDRL2-FRL3-CDRL3-FRL4, from N-terminus to C-terminus.

[0082] In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain of the antibodies of the present disclosure is the part of the antibody that comprises determinants that form an interface that binds to the tau polypeptide or an epitope thereof. With respect to proteins (or protein mimetics), the antigen-binding site typically includes one or more loops (of at least four amino acids or amino acid mimics) that form an interface that binds to the tau polypeptide. Typically, the antigen-binding site of an antibody includes at least one or two CDRs and / or hypervariable loops, or more typically at least three, four, five or six CDRs and / or hypervariable loops.

[0083] In yet other embodiments, the antibody has a heavy chain constant region chosen from, e.g., the heavy chain constant regions of IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgAl, IgA2, IgD, and IgE; particularly, chosen from, e.g., the human heavy chain constant regions of 1gG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, or the murine heavy chain constant regions of IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, and IgG3. In another embodiment, the antibody has a light chain constant region chosen from, e.g., the (e.g., murine or human) light chain constant regions of kappa or lambda.

[0084] The constant region can be altered, e.g., mutated, to modify the properties of the antibody (e.g., to increase or decrease one or more of: Fc receptor binding, antibody glycosylation, the number of cysteine residues, effector cell function, and / or complement function). In some embodiments the antibody has: effector function; and can fix complement. In other embodiments the antibody does not recruit effector cells; or fix complement. In other embodiments, the antibody has reduced or no ability to bind an Fc receptor. For example, it is an isotype or subtype, fragment or other mutant, which does not support binding to an Fc receptor, e.g., it has a mutagenized or deleted Fc receptor binding region.

[0085] Methods for altering an antibody constant region are known in the art. Antibodies with altered function, e.g. altered affinity for an effector ligand, such as FcR on a cell, or the C1 component of complement can be produced by replacing at least one amino acid residue in the constant portion of the antibody with a different residue (see e.g., EP 388,151 Al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,821 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,648,260, the contents of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference). Similar type of alterations could be described which if applied to the murine, or other species immunoglobulin would reduce or eliminate these functions.

[0086] As used herein, the term “Fv” refers to an antibody fragment that includes the minimum fragment on an antibody needed to form a complete antigen-binding site. These regions consist of a dimer of one heavy chain and one light chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. Fv fragments can be generated by proteolytic cleavage, but are largely unstable. Recombinant methods are known in the art for generating stable Fv fragments, typically through insertion of a flexible linker between the light chain variable domain and the heavy chain variable domain (to form a single chain Fv (scFv)] or through the introduction of a disulfide bridge between heavy and light chain variable domains (Strohl, W.R. Therapeutic Antibody Engineering. Woodhead Publishing, Philadelphia PA. 2012. Ch. 3, p46-47, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

[0087] Antibody “light chains” from any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, called kappa and lambda based on amino acid sequences of their constant domains. Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy chains, antibodies can be assigned to different classes.

[0088] As used herein, the term “single chain Fv” or “scFv” refers to a fusion protein of VH and VL antibody domains, wherein these domains are linked together into a single polypeptide chain by a flexible peptide linker. In some embodiments, the Fv polypeptide linker enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. In some embodiments, scFvs are utilized in conjunction with phage display, yeast display or other display methods where they may be expressed in association with a surface member (e.g. phage coat protein) and used in the identification of high affinity peptides for a given antigen. In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure are prepared as scFvFc antibodies. The term “scFvFc” refers to an antibody format which includes the fusion of one or more scFv with an antibody Fc domain.

[0089] The term “chimeric antibody” refers to an antibody with portions derived from two or more sources. Chimeric antibodies may include portions derived from different species. For example, chimeric antibodies may include antibodies with mouse variable domains and human constant domains. Further examples of chimeric antibodies and methods for producing them include any of those described in Morrison, S.L., Transfectomas provide novel chimeric antibodies. Science. 1985 Sep 20;229(4719):1202-7, Gillies, S.D. et al., High- level expression of chimeric antibodies using adapted cDNA variable region cassettes. J Immunol Methods. 1989 Dec 20;125(1-2):191-202.; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,807, 715; 4,816,567; and 4,816,397, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0090] The term “diabodies” refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which fragments include a heavy chain variable domain Vu connected to a light chain variable domain VL in the same polypeptide chain. By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described more fully in, for example, EP 404,097; WO 93 / 11161; and Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993), the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0091] The term “intrabody” refers to a form of antibody that is not secreted from a cell in which it is produced, but instead targets one or more intracellular protein(s). Intrabodies may be used to affect a multitude of cellular processes including, but not limited to intracellular trafficking, transcription, translation, metabolic processes, proliferative signaling and cell division. In some embodiments, methods of the present invention may include intrabody- based therapies. In some such embodiments, variable domain sequences and / or CDR sequences disclosed herein may be incorporated into one or more constructs for intrabody- based therapy. In some cases, intrabodies of the invention may target one or more glycated intracellular proteins or may modulate the interaction between one or more glycated intracellular protein and an alternative protein.

[0092] The term “chimeric antigen receptor” or “CAR” as used herein, refers to artificial receptors that are engineered to be expressed on the surface of immune effector cells resulting in specific targeting of such immune effector cells to cells expressing entities that bind with high affinity to the artificial receptors. CARs may be designed to include one or more segments of an antibody, antibody variable domain and / or antibody CDR, such that when such CARs are expressed on immune effector cells, the immune effector cells bind and clear any cells that are recognized by the antibody portions of the CARs. In some cases, CARs are designed to specifically bind cancer cells, leading to immune-regulated clearance of the cancer cells.

[0093] The antibody of the invention can be a monoclonal antibody or a polyclonal antibody. The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous cells (or clones), i.e.g., the individual antibodies making up the population are identical and / or bind the same epitope, except for possible variants that may arise during production of the monoclonal antibody, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations that typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen

[0094] The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method.

[0095] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises an amino acid sequence of an antibody in which the variable region, or a portion thereof, e.g., the CDRs, are generated in a non-human organism, e.g., a rat or mouse. Antibodies comprising chimeric, CDR-grafted, and humanized antibodies are within the invention. Antibodies comprising the sequences of antibodies generated in a non-human organism, e.g., a rat or mouse, and then modified, e.g., in the variable framework or constant region, to decrease antigenicity in a human are within the invention.

[0096] The monoclonal antibodies herein include “chimeric” antibodies (immunoglobulins) in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies.

[0097] Antibodies of the present disclosure may be from any animal origin including mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. Mammalian antibodies may be, for example, of human, murine (e.g., mouse or rat), donkey, sheep, rabbit, goat, guinea pig, camel, bovine, or horse origin.

[0098] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be antibody mimetics. The term “antibody mimetic” refers to any molecule which mimics the function or effect of an antibody and which binds specifically and with high affinity to their molecular targets. In some embodiments, antibody mimetics may be monobodies, designed to incorporate the fibronectin type III domain (Fn3) as a protein scaffold (US 6,673,901; US 6,348,584). In some embodiments, antibody mimetics may be those known in the art including, but are not limited to affibody molecules, affilins, affitins, anticalins, avimers, DARPins, Fynomers and Kunitz and domain peptides. In other embodiments, antibody mimetics may include one or more non-peptide region.

[0099] As used herein, the term “antibody variant” refers to a biomolecule resembling an antibody in structure, sequence and / or function, but including some differences in their amino acid sequence, composition or structure as compared to another antibody or a native antibody. Multispecific Antibodies

[0100] In some embodiments, the antibody is a multispecific antibody, e.g., it comprises a plurality of immunoglobulin variable domains sequences, wherein a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes are on the same antigen, e.g., the same protein (or subunit of a multimeric protein). In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes overlap. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes do not overlap. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes are on different antigens, e.g., the different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein). In some embodiments, a multispecific antibody comprises a third, fourth or fifth immunoglobulin variable domain. In some embodiments, a multispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody, a trispecific antibody, or tetraspecific antibody. In some embodiments, the anti-tau antibody is a multispecific antibody.

[0101] In some embodiments, a multispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody. A bispecific antibody has specificity for no more than two antigens. A bispecific antibody is characterized by a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes are on the same antigen, e.g., the same protein (or subunit of a multimeric protein). In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes overlap. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes do not overlap. In some embodiments, the first and second epitopes are on different antigens, e.g., the different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein). In some embodiments, a bispecific antibody comprises a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a first epitope and a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, a bispecific antibody comprises a half antibody having binding specificity for a first epitope and a half antibody having binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, a bispecific antibody comprises a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a first epitope and a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, a bispecific antibody comprises a scFv, or fragment thereof, have binding specificity for a first epitope and a scFv, or fragment thereof, have binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiment, the anti-tau antibody is a bispecific antibody.

[0102] In some embodiments, the sequences of the antibody of the present disclosure can be generated from bispecific or heterodimeric antibody produced using protocols known in the art; including but not limited to, for example, the “knob in a hole” approach described in, e.g., US5731168; the electrostatic steering Fc pairing as described in, e.g., WO 09 / 089004, WO 06 / 106905 and WO 2010 / 129304; Strand Exchange Engineered Domains (SEED) heterodimer formation as described in, e.g., WO 07 / 110205; Fab arm exchange as described in, e.g., WO 08 / 119353, WO 2011 / 131746, and WO 2013 / 060867; double antibody conjugate, e.g., by antibody cross-linking to generate a bi-specific structure using a heterobifunctional reagent having an amine-reactive group and a sulfhydryl reactive group as described in, e.g., US4433059; bispecific antibody determinants generated by recombining half antibodies (heavy-light chain pairs or Fabs) from different antibodies through cycle of reduction and oxidation of disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains, as described in, e.g., US 4444878; trifunctional antibodies, e.g., three Fab’ fragments cross-linked through sulfhdryl reactive groups, as described in, e.g., US5273743; biosynthetic binding proteins, e.g., pair of scFvs cross-linked through C-terminal tails preferably through disulfide or amine-reactive chemical cross-linking, as described in, e.g., US5534254; bifunctional antibodies, e.g., Fab fragments with different binding specificities dimerized through leucine zippers (e.g., c-fos and c-jun) that have replaced the constant domain, as described in, e.g., US5582996; bispecific and oligospecific mono-and oligovalent receptors, e.g., VH-CH1 regions of two antibodies (two Fab fragments) linked through a polypeptide spacer between the CHI region of one antibody and the VH region of the other antibody typically with associated light chains, as described in, e.g., US5591828; bispecific DNA-antibody conjugates, e.g., crosslinking of antibodies or Fab fragments through a double stranded piece of DNA, as described in, e.g., US5635602; bispecific fusion proteins, e.g., an expression construct containing two scFvs with a hydrophilic helical peptide linker between them and a full constant region, as described in, e.g., US5637481; multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, e.g., dimer of polypeptides having first domain with binding region of Ig heavy chain variable region, and second domain with binding region of Ig light chain variable region, generally termed diabodies (higher order structures are also disclosed creating bispecific, trispecific, or tetraspecific molecules, as described in, e.g., US5837242; minibody constructs with linked VL and VH chains further connected with peptide spacers to an antibody hinge region and CH3 region, which can be dimerized to form bispecific / multivalent molecules, as described in, e.g., US5837821; VH and VL domains linked with a short peptide linker (e.g., 5 or 10 amino acids) or no linker at all in either orientation, which can form dimers to form bispecific diabodies; trimers and tetramers, as described in, e.g., US5844094; String of VH domains (or VL domains in family members) connected by peptide linkages with crosslinkable groups at the C-terminus further associated with VL domains to form a series of FV (or scFvs), as described in, e.g., US5864019; and single chain binding polypeptides with both a VH and a VL domain linked through a peptide linker are combined into multivalent structures through non-covalent or chemical crosslinking to form, e.g., homobivalent, heterobivalent, trivalent, and tetravalent structures using both scFV or diabody type format, as described in, e.g., US5869620. Antibody development

[0103] Antibodies according to the present disclosure may be developed using methods standard in the art. Two primary antibody preparation technologies are immunization and antibody display technology. In either case, desired antibodies are identified from a larger pool of candidates based on affinity for a specific target or epitope. An immune response is characterized by the reaction of the cells, tissues and / or organs of an organism to the presence of a foreign entity. Such an immune response typically leads to the production by the organism of one or more antibodies against the foreign entity, e.g., antigen or a portion of the antigen. Antigens

[0104] Antibodies may be developed (e.g., through immunization) or selected (e.g., from pool of candidates), for example, using any naturally occurring or synthetic antigen. As used herein, an “antigen” is an entity which induces or evokes an immune response in an organism and may also refer to an antibody binding partner. An immune response is characterized by the reaction of the cells, tissues and / or organs of an organism to the presence of a foreign entity. Such an immune response typically leads to the production by the organism of one or more antibodies against the foreign entity. In some embodiments, antigens include tau proteins.

[0105] As used herein, the term “tau protein” refers to proteins or protein complexes that include microtubule-associated protein tau or peptide fragments thereof. Tau proteins may include enriched paired helical filament tan protein (ePHF), also referred to as “sarkosyl insoluble tan,” or fragments thereof. Tau proteins may include one or more phosphorylated residues. Such phosphorylated residues may correspond to tau proteins associated with disease (also referred to herein as “pathological tau”). Immunization

[0106] In some embodiments, antibodies may be prepared by immunizing a host with an antigen of interest. Host animals (e.g., mice, rabbits, goats, or llamas) may be immunized with an antigenic protein to elicit lymphocytes that specifically bind to the antigen. Lymphocytes may be collected and fused with immortalized cell lines to generate hybridomas which can be cultured in a suitable culture medium to promote growth (e.g., see Kohler, G. et al., Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity. Nature. 1975 Aug 7;256(5517):495-7, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Alternatively, lymphocytes may be immunized in Vitro.

[0107] Lymphocytes may be fused with immortalized cell lines using suitable fusing agents (e.g., polyethylene glycol) to form a hybridoma cell (e.g., see Goding, J. W., Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice. Academic Press. 1986; 59-1031, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Immortalized cell lines may be transformed mammalian cells, particularly myeloma cells of rodent, rabbit, bovine, or human origin. In some embodiments, rat or mouse myeloma cell lines are employed. Hybridoma cells may be cultured in suitable culture media, typically including one or more substances that inhibit the growth or survival of unfused cells. For example, parental cells lacking the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT) may be used and culture media for resulting hybridoma cells may be supplemented with hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (“HAT medium”) to prevent growth of HGPRT-deficient (unfused) cells.

[0108] Desirable properties for immortalized cell lines may include, but are not limited to, efficient fusing, supportive of high level antibody expression by selected antibody-producing cells, and sensitivity to unfused cell-inhibitory media (e.g., HAT media). In some embodiments, immortalized cell lines are murine myeloma lines. Such cell lines may be obtained, for example, from the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center (San Diego, CA) or the American Type Culture Collection, (Manassas, VA), Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines may also be used for the production of human monoclonal antibodies (e.g., see Kozbor, D. et al., A human hybrid myeloma for production of human monoclonal antibodies. J Immunol. 1984 Dec;133(6):3001-5 and Brodeur, B. et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications. Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York. 1987; 33:51-63, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties).

[0109] Hybridoma cell culture media may be assayed for the presence of monoclonal antibodies with desired binding specificity. Assays may include, but are not limited to, immunoprecipitation assay, in vitro binding assay, radioimmunoassay (RIA), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, and / or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In some embodiments, binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies may be determined by Scatchard analysis (Munson, P.J. et al., Ligand: a versatile computerized approach for characterization of ligand-binding systems. Anal Biochem. 1980 Sep 1;107(1):220-39, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

[0110] Antibodies produced by cultured hybridomas may be analyzed to determine binding specificity for target antigens. Once antibodies with desirable characteristics are identified, corresponding hybridomas may be subcloned through limiting dilution procedures and grown by standard methods. Antibodies produced by hybridomas may be isolated and purified using standard immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxyapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography. Alternatively, hybridoma cells may be grown in vivo as ascites in a mammal. In some embodiments, antibodies may be isolated directly from serum of immunized hosts.

[0111] In some embodiments, recombinant versions of antibodies generated through immunization may be prepared. Such antibodies may be prepared using genomic antibody sequences from selected hybridomas. Hybridoma genomic antibody sequences may be obtained by extracting RNA molecules from antibody-producing hybridoma cells and producing cDNA by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR may be used to amplify cDNA using primers specific for antibody heavy and light chains. PCR products may then be subcloned into plasmids for sequence analysis. Antibodies may be produced by insertion of resulting antibody sequences into expression vectors. Some recombinant antibodies may be prepared using synthetic nucleic acid constructs that encode amino acid sequences corresponding to amino acid sequences obtained from isolated hybridoma antibodies. Antibody display

[0112] In some embodiments, antibodies may be developed using antibody display technologies. “Display technology” refers to systems and methods for expressing amino acid- based candidate compounds in a format where they are linked with nucleic acids encoding them and are accessible to a target or ligand. Candidate compounds are expressed at the surface of a host capsid or cell in most systems, however, some host-free systems (e.g., ribosomal display) exist. Display technologies may be used to generate display “libraries,” which include sets of candidate compound library members. Display libraries with antibodies (or variants or fragments thereof) as library members are referred to herein as “antibody display libraries.” Antibodies may be designed, selected, or optimized by screening target antigens using antibody display libraries. Antibody display libraries may include millions to billions of members, each expressing unique antibody domains. Antibody fragments displayed may be scFv antibody fragments, which are fusion proteins of Vu and Vi antibody domains joined by a flexible linker. Display libraries may include antibody fragments with differing levels of diversity between variable domain framework regions and CDRs. Display library antibody fragment CDRs may include unique variable loop lengths and / or sequences. Antibody variable domains or CDRs obtained from display library selection may be directly incorporated into antibody sequences for recombinant antibody production or mutated and utilized for further optimization through in vitro affinity maturation.

[0113] Antibody display libraries may include antibody phage display libraries. Antibody phage display libraries utilize phage virus particles as hosts with millions to billions of members, each expressing unique antibody domains. Such libraries may provide richly diverse sources that may be used to select potentially hundreds of antibody fragments with diverse levels of affinity for one or more antigens of interest (McCafferty, et al., 1990. Nature. 348:552-4; Edwards, B.M. et al., 2003. IMB. 334: 103-18; Schofield, D. et al., 2007. Genome Biol. 8, R254 and Pershad, K. ez al., 2010. Protein Engineering Design and Selection. 23:279-88; the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Antibody fragments displayed may be scFv antibody fragments. Phage display library members may be expressed as fusion proteins, linked to viral coat proteins (e.g. the N- terminus of the viral pIII coat protein). Vi chains may be expressed separately for assembly with Vy chains in the periplasm prior to complex incorporation into viral coats. Precipitated library members may be sequenced from the bound phage to obtain cDNA encoding desired antibody domains.

[0114] In some embodiments, antibody display libraries may be generated using yeast surface display technology. Antibody yeast display libraries are made up of yeast cells with surface displayed antibodies or antibody fragments. Antibody yeast display libraries may include antibody variable domains expressed on the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Yeast display libraries may be developed by displaying antibody fragments of interest as fusion proteins with yeast surface proteins (e.g. Aga2p protein). Yeast cells displaying antibodies or antibody fragments with affinity for a specific target may be isolated according to standard methods. Such methods may include, but are not limited to, magnetic separation and flow cytometry. Recombinant synthesis

[0115] Antibodies of the present disclosure may be prepared using recombinant DNA technology and related processes. Constructs (e.g., DNA expression plasmids) encoding antibodies may be prepared and used to synthesize full antibodies or portions thereof. In some embodiments, DNA sequences encoding antibody variable domains of the present disclosure may be inserted into expression vectors (e.g., mammalian expression vectors) encoding other antibody domains and used to prepare antibodies with the inserted variable domains. DNA sequences encoding antibody variable domains may be inserted downstream of upstream expression vector regions with promoter / enhancer elements and / or encoding immunoglobulin signal sequences. DNA sequences encoding antibody variable domains may be inserted upstream of downstream expression vector regions encoding immunoglobulin constant domains. Encoded constant domains may be from any class (e.g., IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM) or species (e.g., human, mouse, rabbit, rat, and non-human primate). In some embodiments, encoded constant domains encode human IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) constant domains. In some embodiments, encoded constant domains encode mouse IgG (e.g., 1gG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, or IgG3) constant domains.

[0116] Expression vectors encoding antibodies of the present disclosure may be used to transfect cells for antibody production. Such cells may be mammalian cells. Cell lines with stable transfection of antibody expression vectors may be prepared and used to establish stable cell lines. Cell lines producing antibodies may be expanded for expression of antibodies which may be isolated or purified from cell culture media. Antibody characterization

[0117] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be identified, selected, or excluded based on different characteristics. Such characteristics may include, but are not limited to, physical and functional characteristics. Physical characteristics may include features of antibody structures [e.g., amino acid sequence or residues; secondary, tertiary, or quaternary protein structure; post-translational modifications (e.g., glycosylations); chemical bonds, and stability]. Functional characteristics may include, but are not limited to, antibody affinity (i.e., for specific epitopes and / or antigens) and antibody activity (e.g., antibody ability to activate or inhibit a target, process, or pathway). Antibody binding and affinity

[0118] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be identified, selected, or excluded based on binding and / or level of affinity for specific epitopes and / or antigens. Antibody binding and / or affinity level may be assessed with different antigen formats. In some embodiments, antibody affinity for different antigen formats may be tested in vitro (e.g., by ELISA). Anti-tau antibody in vitro testing may be carried out using brain samples or fractions. Such samples or fractions may be obtained from subjects with AD (e.g., human AD patients). In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions may be obtained from non-human subjects. Such non-human subjects may include non-human animals used in AD disease model studies (e.g., mice, rats, and primates). In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions used for antibody affinity testing may be derived from TG4510 / P301S mouse strains. Antibody affinity may be compared against control samples lacking the particular antigen for which affinity is being analyzed. In some embodiments, control samples used for anti-tau antibody testing may include brain samples or fractions from non-diseased human subjects. In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions from wild type and / or Tau knockout mouse strains may be used as control samples.

[0119] Invitro affinity testing may be carried out (e.g., by ELISA) using recombinant or isolated protein antigens. For example, recombinant or isolated ePHF may be used for anti- tau antibody affinity testing. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure may exhibit a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of from about 0.01 nM to about 100 nM for binding to ePHF when assessed by ELISA. In some embodiments, the exhibited EC50 may be less than about 50 nM, less than about 20 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure may exhibit an EC50 of from about 0.01 nM to about 100 nM for binding to any of the antigens listed in Table 8, or an epitope that includes or is included within any of the antigens (including, but not limited to conformational epitopes), when assessed by ELISA. In some embodiments, the exhibited EC50 may be less than about 50 nM, less than about 20 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM.

[0120] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure bind to pathological tau, but do not bind to non-pathological tau. Such antibodies may be referred to herein as being “selective” for pathological forms of tau. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure bind to tau tangles.

[0121] In some embodiments, antibody affinity analysis may be used to identify, select, or exclude polyspecific antibodies. As used herein, the term “polyspecific antibody” refers to an antibody with affinity for more than one epitope or antigen. In some embodiments, polyspecific antibodies may be identified, selected, or excluded based on relative affinity for each epitope or antigen recognized. For example, a polyspecific antibody may be selected for use or further development based on higher affinity for one epitope or antigen over a second epitope or antigen for which the polyspecific antibody demonstrates affinity.

[0122] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies may be tested for competition with other anti-tau antibodies. Such testing may be carried out to provide information on the specific epitope recognized by an antibody and may yield information related to level of epitope affinity in comparison to the competing antibody. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies used in antibody binding and / or affinity analysis may include anti-tau antibody PT3, as described in United States Patent Number 9,371,376; anti-tan antibody C10.2, as described in United States Patent Number 10,196,439 (referred to as antibody “C10-2,” therein); anti-tau antibody IPN0O2, as described in US Patent Number 10,040,847; anti-tau antibody AT8 (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA); anti-tau antibody AT100 (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA); anti-tau antibody AT120 as described in United States Patent Number 5,843,779; or anti-tau antibody PT76, as described in Vandermeeren, M. et al., J Alzheimers Dis. 2018;65(1):265- 281. Antibody activity

[0123] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be identified, selected, or excluded based on their ability to promote or reduce a certain activity. Antibody activity may be assessed using analytical assays. Such assays may be selected or designed to detect, screen, measure, and / or rank antibodies based on such antibody activity.

[0124] Anti-tau antibodies may be characterized by ability to inhibit tau aggregation. Inhibition may be based on physical disruption of tau aggregation or may be based on anti- tau antibody-dependent depletion (immunodepletion) of tau protein. Characterization based on tau aggregation inhibition may be assessed using one or more assays of tau aggregation. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies may be characterized by tau seeding assay. Tau seeding assays typically involve in vitro initiation of tau aggregation and assessment of aggregation inhibition by candidate compounds being tested. Tau seeding assays may be carried out using tau aggregation biosensor cells. Tau aggregation biosensor cells yield a detectable signal (e.g., a fluorescent signal) in response to tau aggregation. Tau aggregation biosensor cells may be cultured with recombinant or isolated tau or with samples from high tau brain tissues or fluids (to promote tau aggregation) and treated with or without candidate compounds to assess tau aggregation inhibition. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies may be used to deplete tau from media prior to incubation with biosensor cells. Aggregation levels with depleted media may be compared to aggregation levels with non-depleted media to assess anti-tau antibody inhibitory function. Tau aggregation biosensor cells may include, but are not limited to, tau RD Biosensor cells. In some embodiments, neurons expressing human tau may be used.

[0125] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure may inhibit tau aggregation with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of from about 1 nM to about 30 nM as determined by immunodepletion assay (e.g., using tau RD Biosensor cells). Antibody structure and variations

[0126] Antibodies of the present disclosure may exist as a whole polypeptide, a plurality of polypeptides or fragments of polypeptides, which independently may be encoded by one or more nucleic acids, a plurality of nucleic acids, fragments of nucleic acids or variants of any of the aforementioned.

[0127] As used herein, “polypeptide” means a polymer of amino acid residues (natural or unnatural) linked together most often by peptide bonds. The term, as used herein, refers to proteins, polypeptides, and peptides of any size, structure, or function. Polypeptides smaller than about 50 amino acids may be referred to using the term “peptide.” Peptides may be at least about 2, 3, 4, or at least 5 amino acid residues long. Polypeptides of the present disclosure may include gene products, naturally occurring polypeptides, synthetic polypeptides, homologs, orthologs, paralogs, fragments, or other equivalents, variants, and analogs of the foregoing. Polypeptides may be single molecules or may be multi-molecular complexes such as dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Polypeptides may also include single chain or multichain polypeptides, which may be associated or linked. Polypeptides may include amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues are artificial chemical analogues of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids.

[0128] The term “polypeptide variant” refers to molecules which differ in their amino acid sequence from a native or reference sequence. Amino acid sequence variants may possess substitutions, deletions, and / or insertions at certain positions within the amino acid sequence, as compared to a native or reference sequence. Ordinarily, variants will possess at least about 50% identity (homology) to a native or reference sequence, and preferably, they will be at least about 80%, more preferably at least about 90% identical (homologous) to a native or reference sequence.

[0129] In some embodiments “variant mimics” are provided. As used herein, the term “variant mimic” is one which contains one or more amino acids which would mimic an activated sequence. For example, glutamate may serve as a mimic for phosphorylated threonine and / or phosphorylated serine. Alternatively, variant mimics may result in deactivation or in an inactivated product containing the mimic, e.g., phenylalanine may act as an inactivating substitution for tyrosine; or alanine may act as an inactivating substitution for serine.

[0130] The term “amino acid sequence variant” refers to molecules with some differences in their amino acid sequences as compared to a native or starting sequence. The amino acid sequence variants may possess substitutions, deletions, and / or insertions at certain positions within the amino acid sequence. “Native” or “starting” sequence should not be confused with a wild type sequence. As used herein, a native or starting sequence is a relative term referring to an original molecule against which a comparison may be made. “Native” or “starting” sequences or molecules may represent the wild-type (that sequence found in nature) but do not have to be the wild-type sequence.

[0131] Ordinarily, variants will possess at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5% at least 99.8%, or at least 99.9% sequence identity as compared to a native sequence.

[0132] By “homologs” as it applies to amino acid sequences is meant the corresponding sequence of other species having substantial identity to a second sequence of a second species.

[0133] “Analogs” is meant to include polypeptide variants which differ by one or more amino acid alterations, e.g., substitutions, additions or deletions of amino acid residues that still maintain the properties of the parent polypeptide.

[0134] The present disclosure contemplates variants and derivatives of antibodies presented herein. These include substitutional, insertional, deletion and covalent variants and derivatives. For example, sequence tags or amino acids, such as one or more lysines, may be added to antibody peptide sequences (e.g., at the N-terminal or C-terminal ends). Sequence tags may be used for peptide purification or localization. Lysines may be used to increase peptide solubility or to allow for biotinylation. Alternatively, amino acid residues located at the carboxy and amino terminal regions of the amino acid sequence of a peptide or polypeptide may optionally be deleted providing for truncated sequences. Certain amino acids (e.g., C-terminal or N-terminal residues) may alternatively be deleted depending on the use of the sequence, as for example, expression of the sequence as part of a larger sequence which is soluble, or linked to a solid support.

[0135] “Substitutional variants” when referring to polypeptides are those that have at least one amino acid residue in a native or starting sequence removed and a different amino acid inserted in its place at the same position. The substitutions may be single, where only one amino acid in the molecule has been substituted, or they may be multiple, where two or more amino acids have been substituted in the same molecule.

[0136] As used herein the term “conservative amino acid substitution” refers to the substitution of an amino acid that is normally present in the sequence with a different amino acid of similar size, charge, or polarity. Examples of conservative substitutions include the substitution of a non-polar (hydrophobic) residue such as isoleucine, valine and leucine for another non-polar residue. Likewise, examples of conservative substitutions include the substitution of one polar (hydrophilic) residue for another such as between arginine and lysine, between glutamine and asparagine, and between glycine and serine. Additionally, the substitution of a basic residue such as lysine, arginine or histidine for another, or the substitution of one acidic residue such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid for another acidic residue are additional examples of conservative substitutions. Examples of non-conservative substitutions include the substitution of a non-polar (hydrophobic) amino acid residue such as isoleucine, valine, leucine, alanine, methionine for a polar (hydrophilic) residue such as cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid or lysine and / or a polar residue for a non-polar residue.

[0137] “Insertional variants” when referring to polypeptides are those with one or more amino acids inserted immediately adjacent to an amino acid at a particular position in a native or starting sequence. “Immediately adjacent” to an amino acid means connected to either the alpha-carboxy or alpha-amino functional group of the amino acid.

[0138] “Deletional variants” when referring to polypeptides, are those with one or more amino acids in the native or starting amino acid sequence removed. Ordinarily, deletional variants will have one or more amino acids deleted in a particular region of the molecule.

[0139] As used herein, the term “derivative” is used synonymously with the term “variant” and refers to a molecule that has been modified or changed in any way relative to a reference molecule or starting molecule. In some embodiments, derivatives include native or starting polypeptides that have been modified with an organic proteinaceous or non- proteinaceous derivatizing agent, and post-translational modifications. Covalent modifications are traditionally introduced by reacting targeted amino acid residues of a polypeptide with an organic derivatizing agent that is capable of reacting with selected side- chains or terminal residues, or by harnessing mechanisms of post-translational modifications that function in selected recombinant host cells. The resultant covalent derivatives are useful in programs directed at identifying residues important for biological activity, for immunoassays, or for the preparation of antibodies for immunoaffinity purification.

[0140] Certain post-translational modifications are the result of the action of recombinant host cells on the expressed polypeptide. Glutaminyl and asparaginyl residues are frequently post-translationally deamidated to the corresponding glutamyl and aspartyl residues. Alternatively, these residues are deamidated under mildly acidic conditions. Either form of these residues may be present in polypeptides used in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0141] Other post-translational modifications include hydroxylation of proline and lysine, phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of seryl or threonyl residues, methylation of the alpha- amino groups of lysine, arginine, and histidine side chains (T. E. Creighton, Proteins: Structure and Molecular Properties, W.H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, pp. 79-86 (1983)).

[0142] Covalent derivatives specifically include fusion molecules in which polypeptides are covalently bonded to non-proteinaceous polymers. Non-proteinaceous polymers may include hydrophilic synthetic polymers, i.e., polymers not otherwise found in nature. However, polymers which exist in nature and are produced by recombinant or in vitro methods are useful, as are polymers which are isolated from nature. Hydrophilic polyvinyl polymers may include polyvinylalcohol and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Particularly useful are polyvinylalkylene ethers such a polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol. Polypeptides may be linked to various non-proteinaceous polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol or polyoxyalkylenes, in the manner set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,640,835; 4,496,689; 4,301,144; 4,670,417; 4,791,192 or 4,179,337, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0143] As used herein when referring to polypeptides the term “loop” refers to a structural feature of a peptide or polypeptide which reverses the direction of the backbone of a peptide or polypeptide and includes four or more amino acid residues. Oliva er al. have identified at least 5 classes of polypeptide loops (J. Mol Biol 266 (4): 814-830; 1997, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

[0144] As used herein when referring to polypeptides the term “half-loop” refers to a portion of an identified loop having at least half the number of amino acid resides as the loop from which it is derived. It is understood that loops may not always contain an even number of amino acid residues. Therefore, in those cases where a loop contains or is identified to include an odd number of amino acids, a half-loop of the odd-numbered loop will include the whole number portion or next whole number portion of the loop (number of amino acids of the loop / 2+ / -0.5 amino acids). For example, a loop identified as a 7 amino acid loop could produce half-loops of 3 amino acids or 4 amino acids (7 / 2=3.5+ / -0.5 being 3 or 4).

[0145] As used herein when referring to polypeptides the term “domain” refers to a motif of a polypeptide having one or more identifiable structural and / or functional characteristics or properties (e.g., binding capacity), e.g., serving as a site for protein-protein interactions.

[0146] As used herein when referring to polypeptides, the term “site” is synonymous with “amino acid residue” and “amino acid side chain.” A site represents a position on a polypeptide that may be modified, manipulated, altered, derivatized or varied within the polypeptide.

[0147] As used herein the terms “termini or terminus” when referring to polypeptides refers to an extremity of a peptide or polypeptide. Such extremity is not limited only to the first or final site of the peptide or polypeptide but may include additional amino acids in the terminal regions. Polypeptide based molecules of the present disclosure may be characterized as having both an N-terminus (terminated by an amino acid with a free amino group) and a C-terminus (terminated by an amino acid with a free carboxyl group). Proteins of the present disclosure are in some cases made up of multiple polypeptide chains brought together by disulfide bonds or by non-covalent forces (multimers, oligomers). These sorts of proteins will have multiple N- and C-termini. Alternatively, the termini of the polypeptides may be modified such that they begin or end, as the case may be, with a non-polypeptide based moiety such as an organic conjugate. Antibody modification

[0148] Antibodies may be modified to obtain variants with one or more altered properties. Such properties may include or relate to antibody structure, function, affinity, specificity, protein folding, stability, manufacturing, expression, and / or immunogenicity (i.e., immune reactions in subjects being treated with such antibodies). In some embodiments, antibody fragments or variants may be used to modify another antibody or may be incorporated into a synthetic antibody.

[0149] Antibody modification may include amino acid sequence modifications. Such modifications may include, but are not limited to, amino acid deletions, additions, and / or substitutions. Modifications may be informed by amino acid sequence analysis. Such analysis may include alignment of amino acid sequences between different antibodies or antibody variants. Two or more antibodies may be compared to identify residues or regions suitable for modification. Compared antibodies may include those binding to the same epitope. Compared antibodies may bind to different epitopes (separate or overlapping) of the same protein or target (e.g., to identify residues or regions conferring specificity to specific epitopes). Comparisons may include light and / or heavy chain sequence variation analysis, CDR sequence variation analysis, germline sequence analysis, and / or framework sequence analysis. Information obtained from such analysis may be used to identify amino acid residues, segments of amino acids, amino acid side chains, CDR lengths, and / or other features or properties that are conserved or variable among antibodies binding to the same or different epitopes.

[0150] In some embodiments, modified versions of anti-tan antibodies described above may be prepared by adding, deleting, or substituting one or more CDR amino acid residues.

[0151] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies may be modified by amino acid sequence alignment of antibodies binding to similar targets and preparing modified antibodies with one or more amino acid deletions, substitutions, or insertions based on analysis of the aligned sequences.

[0152] The present disclosure includes amino acid consensus sequences for CDR region sequences, showing specific amino acids (shown in square brackets) that may be modified or amino acid residue positions that may be more generally deleted or substituted (shown using variable “X") in antibody amino acid sequences, e.g. as described in Table 1A or Z.

[0153] Related CDR sequences that can appear in the same VH and / or VL sequences of an antibody are grouped together in the same row. For example, an antibody of the invention may comprise one each of CDRH1-CDRH3 and CDRL1-CDRL3, wherein said CDRH1- CDRH3 and CDRL1-CDRLS3 are represented by SEQ ID NOs: 928, 930, 409, 472, 525, and 570, respectively.

[0154] In addition, in Table 5, for example, each odd numbered rows below the table heading, and the even numbered rows immediately therebelow, are related (if not identical) consensus sequences (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 927 and 928 are related, SEQ ID NOs: 933 and 934 are related). It is contemplated that an antibody of the invention may comprise one each of CDRH1-CDRH3 and CDRL1-CDRL3, wherein each of said CDRH1-CDRH3 and CDRL1- CDRL3 can be independently represented by one of the two related consensus sequences. For example, an antibody of the invention may comprise one each of CDRH1-CDRH3 and CDRLI1-CDRL3, wherein said CDRH1-CDRH3 and CDRL1-CDRL3 are represented by SEQ ID NOs: 931, 341, 410, 934, 935, and 571, respectively.

[0155] Furthermore, amino acid at each X position or Xi position (wherei=1,2, 3, ...) may be any naturally occurring amino acids, or may be a selected subset of amino acids as specified in each consensus sequence X / Xi position. It is contemplated that any one or more of the enumerated specific amino acids at each X or Xi positions can be eliminated as a permissible value for the X or Xi position. For example, in SEQ ID NO: 947, X4 may be any residues, suchas T, S, A, V, I, or L. In some embodiments, X4 is T, L, or V;or S, A, or V, etc. 2 8 9 | = = Zz 2 Eke A= EER z 5050 288168 S222 28% [5 £2 £eis 292¢ 23588 gea2e EEoke 8:88 ze I) a =~ Qo z 00 a > oO 3 A =. - Table 1: Consensus CDRs for exemplary anti-tau antibodies V0022, V0023 and SEQ ID NO Description SEQ ID NO: 1180 HCDR1 (Chothia) Sequence GX TFTX,X3, wherein X,isForY; X;is Ror I; and X3isYorF NPNNGG SEQ ID NO: 341 HCDR2 NPNNGG (Chothia) SEQ ID NO: 410 HCDR3 GTGTGAMDY (Chothia) SEQ ID NO: 1181 LCDR1 RSSQSLVHXNGX,TX5LY, wherein (Chothia) XiisNorS; Xz is Tor N; and XsisYorH SEQ ID NO: 1182 LCDR2 RVSXRFS, wherein Chothia) XiisNor§ SEQ ID NO: 571 LCDR3 FQGTHVPRT A SEQ ID NO: 1182 LCDR2 RVSX|RFS, wherein Chothia) XiisNor§ SEQ ID NO: 571 LCDR3 FQGTHVPRT (Chothia) SEQ ID NO: 1183 HCDRI1 XX, WMH, wherein (Kabat) XiisRorI; and XisYorF SEQ ID NO: 1184 HCDR2 XINPNNGGX,DX3NEX,FKXs, wherein (Kabat) Xiis Nor K; X2is Tor G; X3isF, Y, or N; X,is Kor R; and XsisNorS; SEQ ID NO: 410 HCDR3 GTGTGAMDY bis Stiinta.

Functional modifications

[0163] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be modified to optimize one or more functional properties (e.g., antibody affinity or activity). Non-limiting examples of antibody functional properties include epitope or antigen affinity, ability to mobilize or immobilize targets, and ability to activate or inhibit a target, process, or pathway. In some embodiments, functional properties include or relate to ability to modulate protein- protein interactions, protein aggregation, enzyme activity, receptor-ligand interactions, cellular signaling pathways, proteolytic cascades, and / or biological or physiological responses.

[0164] Antibody modifications may optimize antibodies by modulating epitope affinity. Such modifications may be carried out by affinity maturation. Affinity maturation technology is used to identify sequences encoding CDRs with highest affinity for target antigens. In some embodiments, antibody display technologies (e.g., phage or yeast) may be used. Such methods may include mutating nucleotide sequences encoding parental antibodies being optimized. Nucleotide sequences may be mutated randomly as a whole or to vary expression at specific amino acid residues to create millions to billions of variants. Sites or residues may be selected for mutation based on sequences or amino acid frequencies observed in natural human antibody repertoires. Variants may be subjected to repeated rounds of affinity screening [e.g., using display library screening technologies, surface plasmon resonance technologies, fluorescence-associated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), efc.] for target antigen binding. Repeated rounds of selection, mutation, and expression may be carried out to identify antibody fragment sequences with highest affinity for target antigens. Such sequences may be directly incorporated into antibody sequences for production. In some cases, the goal of affinity maturation is to increase antibody affinity by at least 2-fold, at least 3-fold, at least 4-fold, at least 5-fold, at least 6-fold, at least 7-fold, at least 8-fold, at least 9-fold, at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 30-fold, at least 40-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 100 fold, at least 500-fold, at least 1,000-fold, or more than 1,000-fold as compared to the affinity of an original or starting antibody. In cases where affinity is less than desired, the process may be repeated.

[0165] In some embodiments, antibody affinity may be assessed with different antigen formats. In some embodiments, antibody affinity for different antigen formats may be tested in vitro (e.g., by ELISA). In vitro testing may be carried out using brain samples or fractions. Such samples or fractions may be obtained from subjects with AD (e.g., human AD patients). In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions may be obtained from non-human subjects. Such non-human subjects may include non-human animals used in AD disease model studies (e.g., mice, rats, and primates). In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions used for antibody affinity testing may be derived from TG4510 / P301S mouse strains. Antibody affinity may be compared against control samples lacking the particular antigen for which affinity is being analyzed. In some embodiments, control samples may include brain samples or fraction from non-diseased human subjects. In some embodiments, brain samples or fractions from wild type and / or Tau knockout mouse strains may be used as control samples. In vitro affinity testing may be carried out (e.g., by ELISA) using recombinant or isolated protein antigens. In some embodiments, recombinant or isolated ePHF is used for antibody affinity testing. In some embodiments, antigens listed in Table 8 may be used.

[0166] In some embodiments, antibody affinity analysis may be used to modulate antibody polyspecificity (e.g., to reduce or enhance antibody polyspecificity). Such modulation may include modulating relative affinity for two or more epitopes or antigens. For example, antibodies may be optimized for higher affinity for one epitope or antigen over a second epitope or antigen.

[0167] Antibodies may be modified to optimize antibody functional properties. Such functional properties may be assessed or engineered based on analytical assay results relating to one or more antibody functional properties. Assays may be used to screen multiple antibodies to identify or rank antibodies based on functional criteria. Anti-tau antibodies may be modified to optimize tau aggregation inhibition. Such inhibition may be based on physical disruption of tau aggregation or may be based on the ability of anti-tan antibodies to deplete tau protein from assay samples. Optimization based on tau aggregation inhibition may be assessed using one or more assays of tau aggregation (e.g., by tau seeding assay). Production modifications

[0168] In some embodiments, modifications may be made to optimize antibody production. Such modifications may include or relate to one or more of protein folding, stability, expression, and / or immunogenicity. Modifications may be carried out to address one or more antibody features negatively impacting production. Such features may include, but are not limited to, unpaired cysteines or irregular disulfides; glycosylation sites (e.g., N- linked NXS / T sites); acid cleavage sites, amino acid oxidation sites, conformity with mouse germline sequences; asparagine deamidation sites; aspartate isomerization sites; N-terminal pyroglutamate formation sites; and aggregation-prone amino acid sequence regions (e.g., within CDR sequences).

[0169] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be prepared using recombinant DNA technology (e.g., see United States Patent No. 4,816,567, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Antibody-encoding DNA may be isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of murine antibodies). In some embodiments, hybridoma cells may be used as a preferred source of DNA. Once isolated, the DNA can be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells. Host cells may include, but are not limited to HEK293 cells, HEK293T cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The DNA also can be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567) or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non- immunoglobulin polypeptide. Antibody humanization

[0170] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure may be prepared as humanized antibodies. “Humanized” antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequences (e.g., variable domains or CDRs) derived from non-human immunoglobulins (e.g., murine immunoglobulins). Humanized antibodies may be prepared from human (recipient) immunoglobulins in which residues from the hypervariable regions are replaced by hypervariable region residues from one or more non-human “donor” antibodies (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, or nonhuman primate). Donor antibodies may be selected based on desired specificity, affinity, and / or capacity. Humanized antibodies may include one or more back-mutation that includes the reversion of one or more amino acids back to amino acids found in a donor antibody. Conversely, residues from donor antibodies included in humanized antibodies may be mutated to match residues present in human recipient antibodies. Back-mutations may be introduced to reduce human immune response to the humanized antibodies. In some embodiments, back-mutations are introduced to avoid issues with antibody manufacturing (e.g., protein aggregation or post-translational modification).

[0171] For construction of expression plasmids encoding fully humanized antibodies with human constant regions, DNA sequences encoding antibody variable regions may be inserted into expression vectors (e.g., mammalian expression vectors) between an upstream promoter / enhancer and immunoglobulin signal sequence and a downstream immunoglobulin constant region gene. DNA samples may then be transfected into mammalian cells for antibody production. Constant domains from any class of human antibody may be used. There are five major classes of intact human antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1 (human and murine), IgG2 (human), IgG2a (murine), IgG2b (murine), IgG2¢ (murine), IgG3 (human and murine), IgG4 (human), IgA (murine), IgA1 (human), and IgA2 (human).

[0172] Cell lines with stable transfection of DNA encoding humanized antibodies may be prepared and used to establish stable cell lines. Cell lines producing humanized antibodies may be expanded for expression of humanized antibodies that may be harvested and purified from cell culture media.

[0173] In some embodiments, humanized antibodies of the present disclosure may have cross-reactivity with non-human species. Species cross-reactivity may allow antibodies to be used in different animals for various purposes. For example, cross-reactive antibodies may be used in pre-clinical animal studies to provide information about antibody efficacy and / or toxicity. Non-human species may include, but are not limited to, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, pig, goat, sheep, and nonhuman primates (e.g., Cynomolgus monkeys). Antibody conjugates

[0174] In some embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure may be or be prepared as antibody conjugates. As used herein, the term “conjugate” refers to any agent, cargo, or chemical moiety that is attached to a recipient entity or the process of attaching such an agent, cargo, or chemical moiety. As used herein, the term “antibody conjugate” refers to any antibody with an attached agent, cargo, or chemical moiety. Conjugates utilized to prepare antibody conjugates may include therapeutic agents. Such therapeutic agents may include drugs. Antibody conjugates that include a conjugated drug are referred to herein as “antibody drug conjugates.” Antibody drug conjugates may be used to direct conjugated drugs to specific targets based on the affinity of associated antibodies for proteins or epitopes associated with such targets. Such antibody drug conjugates may be used to localize biological activity associated with such conjugated drugs to targeted cells, tissues, organs, or other targeted entities. In some embodiments, conjugates utilized to prepare antibody conjugates include detectable labels. Antibodies may be conjugated with detectable labels for purposes of detection. Such detectable labels may include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, fluorophores, chromophores, chemiluminescent compounds, enzymes, enzyme co-factors, dyes, metal ions, ligands, biotin, avidin, streptavidin, haptens, quantum dots, or any other detectable labels known in the art or described herein.

[0175] Conjugates may be attached to antibodies directly or via a linker. Direct attachment may be by covalent bonding or by non-covalent association (e.g., ionic bonds, hydrostatic bonds, hydrophobic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hybridization, ezc.). Linkers used for conjugate attachment may include any chemical structure capable of connecting an antibody to a conjugate. In some embodiments, linkers include polymeric molecules (e.g., nucleic acids, polypeptides, polyethylene glycols, carbohydrates, lipids, or combinations thereof). Antibody conjugate linkers may be cleavable (e.g., through contact with an enzyme, change in pH, or change in temperature). Exemplary anti-tau antibodies

[0222] In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure bind to tau protein epitopes on tau protein antigens described herein. Such tau protein epitopes may include or be included within a tau protein antigen amino acid sequence listed in Table 8. In some embodiments, anti-tau antibodies of the present disclosure bind to tan protein epitopes that include a region formed by a complex of at least two tau proteins.

[0223] In some embodiments, disclosed herein is an encoded an antibody that competes for binding to tau with the aforesaid antibodies. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is an antibody that binds to the same epitope as, substantially the same epitope as, an epitope that overlaps with, or an epitope that substantially overlaps with, the epitope of the aforesaid anti- tau antibody.

[0224] In some embodiment, compete or cross-compete refers to the ability of an antibody to interfere with binding of an anti-tau antibody, e.g., an anti-tau antibody provided herein, to a target, e.g., tau protein. The interference with binding can be direct or indirect (e.g., through an allosteric modulation of the antibody or the target). The extent to which an antibody is able to interfere with the binding of another antibody to the target, and therefore whether it can be said to compete, can be determined using a competition binding assay, for example, a FACS assay, an ELISA or BIACORE assay. In some embodiments, a competition binding assay is a quantitative competition assay. In some embodiments, a first anti-tau antibody is said to compete for binding to the target with a second anti-tau antibody when the binding of the first antibody to the target is reduced by 10% or more, e.g., 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 55% or more, 60% or more, 65% or more, 70% or more, 75% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 98% or more, 99% or more in a competition binding assay (e.g., a competition assay described herein).

[0225] In some embodiments, an epitope comprises the moieties of an antigen (e.g., a tau protein antigen) that specifically interact with an antibody. Such moieties, referred to herein as epitopic determinants, typically comprise, or are part of, elements such as amino acid side chains or sugar side chains. An epitopic determinate can be defined by methods known in the art or disclosed herein, e.g., by crystallography or by hydrogen-deuterium exchange. At least one or some of the moieties on the antibody, that specifically interact with an epitopic determinant, are typically located in a CDR(s). Typically, an epitope has a specific three dimensional structural characteristics. Typically, an epitope has specific charge characteristics. Some epitopes are linear epitopes while others are conformational epitopes.

[0226] In an embodiment, an epitopic determinant is a moiety on the antigen, e.g., such as amino acid side chain or sugar side chain, or part thereof, which, when the antigen and antibody are co-crystallized, is within a predetermined distance, e.g., within 5 Angstroms, of a moiety on the antibody, referred to herein as a crystallographic epitopic determinant. In some embodiments, the crystallographic epitopic determinants of an epitope are collectively referred to as a crystallographic epitope.

[0227] A first antibody binds the same epitope as a second antibody (e.g., a reference antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein) if the first antibody specifically interacts with the same epitopic determinants on the antigen as does the second or reference antibody, e.g., when interaction is measured in the same way for both the antibody and the second or reference antibody. Epitopes that overlap share at least one epitopic determinant. A first antibody binds an overlapping epitope with a second antibody (e.g., a reference antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein) when both antibodies specifically interact with a common epitopic determinant. A first and a second antibody (e.g., a reference antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein) bind substantially overlapping epitopes if at least half of the epitopic determinants of the second or reference antibody are found as epitopic determinants in the epitope of the first antibody. A first and a second antibody (e.g., a reference antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein) bind substantially the same epitope if the first antibody binds at least half of the core epitopic determinants of the epitope of the second or reference antibody, wherein the core epitopic determinants are defined by crystallography.

In some embodiments, an AAV particle, e.g., an AAV particle as described herein, or plurality of particles, may be provided, e.g., delivered, via any of several routes of administration, to a cell, tissue, organ, or organism, ir vivo, ex vivo, or in vitro.

[0237] As used herein, an “AAV particle” is a virus which comprises a capsid and a viral genome with at least one payload region and at least one inverted terminal repeat (ITR) region.

[0238] As used herein, “viral genome” or “vector genome” refers to the nucleic acid sequence(s) encapsulated in an AAV particle. Viral genomes comprise at least one payload region encoding polypeptides, e.g., antibodies, antibody-based compositions or fragments thereof.

[0239] As used herein, a “payload” or “payload region” is any nucleic acid molecule which encodes one or more polypeptides. At a minimum, a payload region comprises nucleic acid sequences that encode an antibody, an antibody-based composition, or a fragment thereof, but may also optionally comprise one or more functional or regulatory elements to facilitate transcriptional expression and / or polypeptide translation.

[0241] The nucleic acid sequences, viral genomes, and polypeptides disclosed herein may be engineered to contain modular elements and / or sequence motifs assembled to enable expression of an antibody or functional variant thereof, e.g., an antibody described herein. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence encodes an antibody comprising one or more of the CDRs (e.g., heavy chain and / or light chain CDRs) of an antibody, a variable heavy (VH) chain region and / or variable light (VL) chain region, a heavy and / or light chain constant region, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence encoding the antibody may also encode a linker, e.g., such that the VH / heavy chain and the ‘VL / light chain of the antibody are connected via a linker. In some embodiments, the viral genome may further comprise a promoter region, an intron, a Kozak sequence, an enhancer, or a polyadenylation sequence. The order of expression, structural position, or concatemer count (e.g., the VH, VL, heavy chain, light chain, and / or linker) may be different within or among different payload regions. The identity, position and number of linkers expressed by payload regions may also vary. In some embodiments, the payload is a region comprising one or more humanized antibody sequences, such as but not limited to, a humanized antibody VL, light chain domain and / or a humanized antibody VH, heavy chain domain, or fragments thereof.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) and AAV particles

[0243] In some embodiments, adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are small non-enveloped icosahedral capsid viruses of the Parvoviridae family characterized by a single stranded DNA viral genome. Parvoviridae family viruses consist of two subfamilies: Parvovirinae, which infect vertebrates, and Densovirinae, which infect invertebrates. The Parvoviridae family comprises the Dependovirus genus which includes AAV. In some embodiments, the AAV is capable of replication in vertebrate hosts including, but not limited to, human, primate, bovine, canine, equine, and ovine species.

[0244] The parvoviruses and other members of the Parvoviridae family are generally described in Kenneth I. Berns, “Parvoviridae: The Viruses and Their Replication,” Chapter 69 in FIELDS VIROLOGY (3d Ed. 1996), the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0245] AAV have proven to be useful as a biological tool due to their relatively simple structure, their ability to infect a wide range of cells (including quiescent and dividing cells) without integration into the host genome and without replicating, and their relatively benign immunogenic profile. The genome of the virus may be manipulated to contain a minimum of components for the assembly of a functional recombinant virus, or viral particle, which is loaded with or engineered to target a particular tissue and express or deliver a desired payload.

[0246] The wild-type AAV vector genome is a linear, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecule approximately 5,000 nucleotides (nt) in length. Inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) traditionally cap the viral genome at both the 5’ and the 3’ end, providing origins of replication for the viral genome. While not wishing to be bound by theory, an AAV viral genome typically comprises two ITR sequences. These ITRs have a characteristic T-shaped hairpin structure defined by a self-complementary region (145nt in wild-type AAV) at the 5’ and 3’ ends of the ssDNA which form an energetically stable double stranded region. The double stranded hairpin structures comprise multiple functions including, but not limited to, acting as an origin for DNA replication by functioning as primers for the endogenous DNA polymerase complex of the host viral replication cell.

[0247] The wild-type AAV viral genome further comprises nucleotide sequences for two open reading frames, one for the four non-structural Rep proteins (Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, Rep40, encoded by Rep genes) and one for the three capsid, or structural, proteins (VPI, 'VP2, VP3, encoded by capsid genes or Cap genes). The Rep proteins are important for replication and packaging, while the capsid proteins are assembled to create the protein shell of the AAV, or AAV capsid. Alternative splicing and alternate initiation codons and promoters result in the generation of four different Rep proteins from a single open reading frame and the generation of three capsid proteins from a single open reading frame. Though it varies by AAV serotype, as a non-limiting example, for AAV9 / hu.14 (SEQ ID NO: 123 of US 7,906,111, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) ‘VPI refers to amino acids 1-736, VP2 refers to amino acids 138-736, and VP3 refers to amino acids 203-736. In other words, VP1 is the full-length capsid sequence, while VP2 and VP3 are shorter components of the whole. As a result, changes in the sequence in the VP3 region, are also changes to VP1 and VP2, however, the percent difference as compared to the parent sequence will be greatest for VP3 since it is the shortest sequence of the three. Though described here in relation to the amino acid sequence, the nucleic acid sequence encoding these proteins can be similarly described. Together, the three capsid proteins assemble to create the AAV capsid protein. While not wishing to be bound by theory, the AAV capsid protein typically comprises a molar ratio of 1:1:10 of VP1:VP2:VP3. As used herein, an “AAV serotype” is defined primarily by the AAV capsid. In some instances, the ITRs are also specifically described by the AAV serotype (e.g., AAV2 / 9).

[0248] For use as a biological tool, the wild-type AAV viral genome can be modified to replace the rep / cap sequences with a nucleic acid sequence comprising a payload region with at least one ITR region. Typically, in recombinant AAV viral genomes there are two ITR regions. The rep / cap sequences can be provided in trans during production to generate AAV particles.

[0249] In addition to the encoded heterologous payload, AAV vectors may comprise the viral genome, in whole or in part, of any naturally occurring and / or recombinant AAV serotype nucleotide sequence or variant. AAV variants may have sequences of significant homology at the nucleic acid (genome or capsid) and amino acid levels (capsids), to produce constructs which are generally physical and functional equivalents, replicate by similar mechanisms, and assemble by similar mechanisms. Chiorini ez al., J. Vir. 71: 6823-33(1997); Srivastava ef al., J. Vir. 45:555-64 (1983); Chiorini ez al., J. Vir. 73:1309-1319 (1999); Rutledge er al., J. Vir. 72:309-319 (1998); and Wu er al., I. Vir. 74: 8635-47 (2000), the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0250] In some embodiments, AAV particles of the present disclosure are recombinant AAV viral vectors which are replication defective and lacking sequences encoding functional Rep and Cap proteins within their viral genome. These defective AAV vectors may lack most or all parental coding sequences and essentially carry only one or two AAV ITR sequences and the nucleic acid of interest for delivery to a cell, a tissue, an organ, or an organism.

[0251] In some embodiments, the viral genome of the AAV particles of the present disclosure comprise at least one control element which provides for the replication, transcription, and translation of a coding sequence encoded therein. Not all of the control elements need always be present as long as the coding sequence is capable of being replicated, transcribed, and / or translated in an appropriate host cell. Non-limiting examples of expression control elements include sequences for transcription initiation and / or termination, promoter and / or enhancer sequences, efficient RNA processing signals such as splicing and polyadenylation signals, sequences that stabilize cytoplasmic mRNA, sequences that enhance translation efficacy (e.g., Kozak consensus sequence), sequences that enhance protein stability, and / or sequences that enhance protein processing and / or secretion.

[0252] According to the present disclosure, AAV particles for use in therapeutics and / or diagnostics comprise a virus that has been distilled or reduced to the minimum components necessary for transduction of a nucleic acid payload or cargo of interest. In this manner, AAV particles are engineered as vehicles for specific delivery while lacking the deleterious replication and / or integration features found in wild-type viruses.

[0253] AAV vectors of the present disclosure may be produced recombinantly and may be based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) parent or reference sequences. As used herein, a “vector” is any molecule or moiety which transports, transduces, or otherwise acts as a carrier of a heterologous molecule such as the nucleic acids described herein.

[0254] In addition to single stranded AAV viral genomes (e.g., sSSAAVs), the present disclosure also provides for self-complementary AAV (scAAVs) viral genomes. sScAAV vector genomes contain DNA strands which anneal together to form double stranded DNA. By skipping second strand synthesis, scAAVs allow for rapid expression in the transduced cell.

[0255] In some embodiments, the AAV particle of the present disclosure is an scCAAV.

[0256] In some embodiments, the AAV particle of the present disclosure is an sSAAV.

[0257] Methods for producing and / or modifying AAV particles are disclosed in the art such as pseudotyped AAV vectors (PCT Patent Publication Nos. W0200028004; W0200123001; W0O2004112727; W02005005610; and WO2005072364, the content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).

[0258] AAV particles may be modified to enhance the efficiency of delivery. Such modified AAV particles can be packaged efficiently and be used to successfully infect the target cells at high frequency and with minimal toxicity. In some embodiments, the capsids of the AAV particles are engineered according to the methods described in US Publication Number US20130195801, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0259] In some embodiments, the AAV particles comprising a payload region encoding the polypeptides may be introduced into mammalian cells. AAV serotypes
