Embodiment 1

[1229] Humanization of HER2 MAB-1

[1230] PCT Publication WO 2001 / 036005 discloses an anti-HER2 / neu antibody, designated "8H11" therein, however, the sequences of the VL and VH domains provided therein are inaccurate. The 8H11 antibody binds to a HER2 / neu epitope that is different from that bound by trastuzumab, margotuximab, and pertuzumab.

[1231] Deriving the correct sequences of the VH and VL domains of the anti-HER2 / neu antibody 8H11 (thus providing HER2-MAB-1 VH (SEQ ID NO:60) and HER2-MAB-1 VL (SEQ ID NO:61)), And multiple rounds of humanization were performed to obtain the above-mentioned humanized VH domain "hHER2 MAB-1 VH1" (SEQ ID NO:64) and humanized VL domain "hHER2 MAB-1VL1" (SEQ ID NO:67 ). During this effort, several potential sequence liabilities were identified in the hHER2 MAB-1 VH1 and hHER2 MAB-1 VL1 domains, and substitutions were made that removed these liabilities while maintaining binding affinity. especially:

[1232] (1) The aspartic acid isome...

[1241] Isolation and Characterization of Mouse Anti-CD137 mAb

[1242]A panel of murine monoclonal antibodies specific for human CD137 was screened for antibodies exhibiting high affinity binding. Three antibodies were selected for further study. For this assessment, purified pan T-cells (see above) were stimulated for 72 hours with anti-CD3 / CD28 beads (cell:bead = 1:1) in the presence of IL-2 (100 U / mL). 100 μL of activated T cells (1.0x10 6 cells / mL) and 100 μL of serially diluted (5-fold or 10-fold dilution) test article (antibody or bispecific diabody) were added to each well of a microtiter assay plate, mixed and incubated at room temperature for 45 minutes. Cells were washed with FACS Buffer and then secondary antibody (anti-human-Fc region-APC) was added to each well; mixed and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cells were then washed with FACS Buffer and then T cell surface marker antibodies (V510-labeled anti-CD4, and FITC-labeled anti-CD8) were added to...

Embodiment 3

[1256] Humanization of mouse anti-CD137 mAb

[1257] Antibodies CD137 MAB-3 and CD137 MAB-4 were selected for humanization. Four rounds of humanization were performed on CD137 MAB-3, which resulted in one humanized VH domain, designated "hCD137 MAB-3 VH1" (SEQ ID NO:76), and three humanized VL domains, designated "hCD137 MAB-3 VL1" (SEQ ID NO:87), "hCD137 MAB-3 VL2" (SEQ ID NO:88), and "hCD137 MAB-3 VL3" (SEQ ID NO:89).

[1258] Three rounds of humanization were performed on CD137 MAB-4, which resulted in one humanized VH domain, designated "hCD137MAB-4 VH1" (SEQ ID NO:92), and two humanized VL domains, designated " hCD137 MAB-4 VL1" (SEQ ID NO:94) and "hCD137 MAB-4 VL2" (SEQ ID NO:95).

[1259] Humanized heavy and light chain variable domains with a particular anti-CD137 antibody (eg, CD137 MAB-3) can be used in any combination and specific references to humanized chains are made by reference to specific VH / VL domains. A combination, eg, a humanized antibody comprising hCD...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to binding molecules that possess one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope ofa tumor antigen ("TA") (e.g., a "CD137 x TA Binding Molecule"). In one embodiment, such CD137 x TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific tetravalent diabodies. Alternatively, such CD137 x TA Binding molecules will be bispecific trivalent binding molecules. The CD137 x TA Binding Molecules of the invention are capable of simultaneous binding to CD137, and a TA. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CD137 x TA Binding Molecules, methods of using the same to treat cancer and other disease and conditions. The invention also providesnovel CD137-binding molecules, and HER2/neu-binding molecules, as well as derivatives thereof and uses thereof.
