[0066] Table 1 includes proteins and nucleic acid sequences discussed herein. Peptide sequences are provided using standard one-letter codes. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that amino acid sequences can be encoded by a set of determined nucleotide sequences, so that readers and inventors have nucleotide sequences encoding each amino acid sequence. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the polynucleotide can be a naturally occurring human sequence. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence encoding the polynucleotide is not a naturally occurring human sequence. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the polynucleotide can be a sequence codon optimized to be expressed in human cells or specific cell types, eukaryotic cells, bacterial cells, etc. Codon optimization can be performed to improve the ability of the host to produce a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid, and the codon optimization replaces a codon with another codon, and the other codon encodes the same amino acid and has a higher frequency of occurrence in a specific host cell (see, e.g., Mauro, BioDrugs 32 (1): 69-81, 2018 and Kato, Int J Mol Sci. 20 (4), 2019).

[0067] In certain embodiments, it is contemplated that variant sequences can be used in the methods and compositions disclosed herein. For example, in one aspect, an antibody having a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region is described, the heavy chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, and the light chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 5. The degree of sequence identity or similarity can be determined using methods known in the art. In one method, the identity of two nucleotide or polypeptide sequences or subsequences is calculated as the percentage of identical or equivalent positions after the sequences have been aligned, introducing gaps if necessary to achieve the maximum percentage of sequence identity. Methods for sequence alignment are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, the Needleman-Wunsch global alignment algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48(3):443-453 (30)), the Smith and Waterman local homology search algorithm (Smith, Temple F. & Waterman, Michael S. (1981) J. Mol. Biol. 147(1):195-197.), manual alignment and inspection, or computerized implementations of these algorithms, such as the "needle" program distributed as part of the EMBOSS software package (Rice, P. et al., Trends in Genetics 16(6):276-277 (31), version 6.3.1, available from various sources on EMBnet).

[0068] It is contemplated that, in certain embodiments, the methods or compositions described herein will differ from the polypeptide sequences provided herein (e.g., in Table 1) by one or more amino acid substitutions. In some embodiments, the sequence will have at least 90% sequence identity (or other degrees of sequence identity disclosed below) with a sequence or combination of sequences described herein. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence (e.g., in Table 1) by one amino acid substitution. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence (e.g., in Table 1) by two amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by two amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by three amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by four amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by five amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by six amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by seven amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the polypeptide sequence differs from a reference sequence by eight amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the difference between the polypeptide sequence and the reference sequence is nine amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the difference between the polypeptide sequence and the reference sequence is ten amino acid substitutions. In certain embodiments, the difference between the polypeptide sequence and the reference sequence is 1 to 10 amino acid substitutions, sometimes 1 to 5 amino acid substitutions. In some cases, amino acid substitutions that do not change the basic properties (e.g., binding specificity) relative to the reference sequence are selected. In some cases, amino acid substitutions that change binding affinity but do not change binding specificity are selected. In some cases, substitutions are selected to change the properties (e.g., substitutions that affect effector function or half-life) as known in the art or described herein below. In some embodiments, the amino acid substitution is a conservative substitution. Conservative amino acid substitutions are identified in the art as replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having similar properties (e.g., polarity, charge, hydrophobicity, and aromaticity). Conservative amino acid substitutions can also be made based on the side chain characteristics of amino acids (e.g., containing sulfur, hydroxyl, or amide). Non-limiting examples of conservative amino acid substitutions are listed below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I. Introduction

[0069] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides human allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies and methods for generating human allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies from human B cells expressing a single IgE or IgG4. It is known that IgE antibodies, as the lowest-level class of antibodies in humans, cause symptoms of allergic reactions. For example, food allergy symptoms ranging from urticaria to potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions are caused by the degranulation of mast cells and basophils, which is caused by the recognition of allergenic food proteins by surface-bound IgE antibodies. Despite its central role in immunity and allergic diseases, human IgE antibodies remain poorly characterized due to their scarcity. Fitzsimmons et al., Front Immunol., 2014, 5: 61. Similarly, knowledge about the IgG4 isotype is lacking, but interest in it is growing due to its potential role in mediating reduced clinical allergen reactivity that accompanies immunotherapy and early allergen exposure by antigen blocking. Tordesillas et al., Immunity, 2017, 47: 32-50.

[0070] The present disclosure provides methods of treating a human subject with allergy or alleviating one or more allergic symptoms in a human subject using one or more allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding portions thereof as disclosed herein. In some embodiments, and without intending to be bound by a particular mechanism, the allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein are used therapeutically as blocking antibodies, which is generally referred to as passive immunotherapy.

[0071] As described herein, the method disclosed herein can be used to generate a library of genotype-confirmed IgE or IgG4 single B cells from a sample of a human subject with an allergy to a target antigen, and the IgE or IgG4 single B cells are candidates for producing antibodies with high affinity to the target allergen. As described in the following examples, it has been found that analyzing the cDNA sequence of the constant region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain to identify the isotype of a single B cell avoids the problem of isotype mischaracterization, which is known to occur when the B cell isotype is determined based on sorting cells by cell surface markers (e.g., typically in FACS cell surface staining). This problem of isotype mischaracterization is known to be particularly common for IgE B cells, because the marker CD23 is a "low affinity" IgE receptor that captures IgE on the surface of non-IgE B cells. See, Berkowska et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2014, 134: 688-697. Thus, the methods of the present disclosure generate a library of single B cells that are more likely to produce antibodies with high affinity to allergens. In addition, it has been found that the antibodies generated according to the methods disclosed herein are the highest affinity natural human antibodies discovered to date and exhibit cross-reactivity with different antigens. II. Definitions

[0072] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting, as the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the appended claims. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. In this specification and the claims that follow, a number of terms will be mentioned, and unless it is obvious that there is an opposite intention, these terms should be defined as having the following meanings. In some cases, for clarity and / or ease of reference, terms with commonly understood meanings are defined herein, and the inclusion of such definitions herein should not be interpreted as representing substantial differences between the definitions of terms generally understood in the art.

[0073] All numerical designations, such as pH values, temperatures, times, concentrations, and molecular weights, including ranges, are approximate values, varying as appropriate by (+) or (-) increments of 0.1 or 1.0. It should be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that all numerical designations are preceded by the term "about".

[0074] The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a compound" includes a plurality of compounds.

[0075] The term "comprising" is intended to indicate that compounds, compositions, and methods include the stated elements, but not to exclude other elements. When used to define compounds, compositions, and methods, "consisting essentially of shall mean excluding other elements that would materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed invention. "Consisting of shall mean excluding any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claims. Embodiments defined by each of these transition terms are within the scope of the present invention.

[0076] The term "allergen" refers to a substance that provokes an immune response in a subject, which results in an allergic reaction in the subject.

[0077] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a polypeptide encoded by an immunoglobulin gene or a functional fragment thereof that specifically binds to and recognizes an antigen. As used herein, the term "antibody" also includes antibody fragments that retain binding specificity, including but not limited to Fab, F(ab') 2 , Fv and scFv. Recognized immunoglobulin genes include kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as various immunoglobulin variable region genes. Light chains are classified as kappa or lambda. Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively.

[0078] An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit comprises two pairs of identical polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" chain (about 25 kDa) and one "heavy" chain (about 50-70 kDa). The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids that is primarily responsible for antigen recognition. Thus, the term "variable heavy chain" or "VH" refers to the variable region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, including Fv, scFv, dsFv or Fab; and the term "variable light chain" or "VL" refers to the variable region of an immunoglobulin light chain, including Fv, scFv, dsFv or Fab.

[0079] The term "variable region" refers to a domain in an antibody heavy or light chain that confers specificity for binding to an antigen. Typically, an antibody variable region includes four conserved "framework" regions interspersed with three highly variable "complementarity determining regions."

[0080] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the three hypervariable regions in each chain that interrupt the four framework regions established by the light and heavy chain variable regions. The CDRs are primarily responsible for binding to antigenic epitopes. The CDRs of each chain are usually referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, which are numbered sequentially from the N-terminus and are also usually identified by the chain in which the particular CDR is located. Thus, a VH CDR3 is located in the variable region of the heavy chain of the antibody in which it is found, while a VL CDR1 is a CDR1 from the variable region of the light chain of the antibody in which it is found.

[0081] As noted, the portion of the variable region that is not included in the CDR is called the framework. The "framework region" of different light or heavy chains is relatively conserved within a species. The framework region of an antibody, i.e., the combined framework region of the light and heavy chains, is used to position and arrange the CDRs in three-dimensional space. The framework sequence can be obtained from a public DNA database or a published reference containing germline antibody gene sequences. For example, germline DNA sequences for human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBASE2" germline variable gene sequence database for human and mouse sequences.

[0082] The amino acid sequences of CDR and framework regions can be determined using various definitions well known in the art. The positions and lengths of CDRs have been precisely defined by Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, US Department of Health and Human Services, 1983, 1987, and others. See, e.g., Johnson and Wu, Nucleic Acids Res. 2000 Jan 1; 28(1):214-218; Johnson et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 29:205-206 (2001); Chothia & Lesk, (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196, 901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342, 877-883; Chothia et al. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 227, 799-817; Al-Lazikani et al., J. Mol. Biol 1997, 273(4)); and MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol., 262:732-745 (1996). See also International ImMunoGeneTics Database (IMGT), AbM, and Observed Antigen Contacts.

[0083] The terms "antigen binding portion" and "antigen binding fragment" are used interchangeably herein and refer to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain specific binding to an antigen (e.g., an allergen, such as Ara h 2 or Ara h 3). Examples of antibody binding fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab fragments (monovalent fragments consisting of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains), F(ab') 2Fragments (bivalent fragments comprising two Fab fragments connected by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region), single-chain Fv (scFv), disulfide-linked Fv (dsFv), complementarity determining region (CDR), VL (light chain variable region), VH (heavy chain variable region), nanobodies, and any combination of those or any other functional parts of immunoglobulin peptides capable of binding to target antigens. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof include domain-specific antibodies, single domain antibodies, domain-deleted antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, double antibodies, three antibodies, four antibodies, small antibodies, nanobodies (e.g., monovalent nanobodies, bivalent nanobodies, etc.), small modular immunopharmaceuticals (SMIPs), and shark variable IgNAR domains.Exemplary configurations of variable and constant domains that may be found within the antigen-binding fragments of the antibodies of the invention include: (a) VH-CHI; (b) VH-CH2; (c) VH-CH3; (d) VH-CH1-CH2; (e) VH-Ch1-Ch2-Ch3; (f) VH-Ch2-Ch3; (g) VH-CL; (h) VL-CH1; (i) VL-Ch2; (x) VL-Ch3; (j) VL-CH1-CH2; (k) VL-CH1-CH2-CH3; (l) VL-CH2-CH3; and (m) VL-CL (see, e.g., FUNDAMENTAL IMMUNOLOGY (Paul ed., 4th ed. 2001), Gruber et al. (1994) J Immunol. 152:5368-5374; McCartney, et al., 1995 Protein Eng.8:301-314; Shukra et al., 2014, "Production of recombinant antibodies using bacteriophages" Eur J Microbiol Immunol(Bp).4(2):91-98; Todorovska, 2001, "Design and application of diabodies,triabodies and tetrabodies for cancer targeting" J Immunol Methods; 248(1-2):47-66; Salvador et al., 2019, "Nanobody: outstanding features for diagnostic and therapeutic applications" Anal Bioanal Chem. 411(9):1703-1713; Gill et al., 2006, "Biopharmaceutical drug discovery using novel protein scaffolds." Curr OpinBiotechnol., (6):653-8; and Ubah et al., 2016, “Phage Display Derived IgNAR V RegionBinding Domains for Therapeutic Development" Curr Pharm Des. 22(43):6519-6526, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0084] The term "epitope" refers to an area or region of an antigen to which an antibody specifically binds, i.e., an area or region in physical contact with the antibody, and may include several amino acids or portions of several amino acids, e.g., 5 or 6 or more, e.g., 20 or more amino acids, or portions of those amino acids. In some cases, the epitope includes, for example, non-protein components from carbohydrates, nucleic acids, or lipids. In some cases, the epitope is a three-dimensional portion. Thus, for example, in the case where the target is a protein, the epitope may be composed of continuous amino acids or amino acids from different portions (e.g., discontinuous epitopes) of the protein that become close by protein folding.

[0085] "Monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody produced by a single clone of a cell or a single cell line, which consists of or consists essentially of antibody molecules that are identical in their primary amino acid sequence. In some embodiments, a monoclonal antibody preparation comprises a population of antibodies that are identical and bind to the same epitope of an antigen, except for mutations that occur during monoclonal antibody production. Unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, the term "monoclonal antibody" includes synthetic antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof.

[0086] "Human antibody" refers to antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the present disclosure may contain amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-directed mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo). The term "human antibody" is not intended to include chimeric or humanized antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from germlines or immune cells of non-human species (e.g., mice) have been grafted onto human framework sequences.

[0087] The term "specifically binds" means that a molecule (e.g., an antibody or antibody fragment) binds to a target in a sample with greater affinity, avidity, more readily and / or for a longer duration than it binds to a non-target compound. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a target (e.g., an allergen, e.g., Ara h 2 or Ara h 3) is an antibody or antigen binding portion that binds to the target with an affinity that is at least 2 times greater than that for a non-target compound, e.g., at least 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 20 times, 25 times, 50 times or more. For example, in some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an allergen target (e.g., Ara h 2 or Ara h 3) will typically bind to the allergen target with an affinity that is at least 2 times greater than that for a non-allergen target. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that an antibody that specifically or preferentially binds to a first target may specifically or preferentially or may not specifically or preferentially bind to a second target.

[0088] As used herein, the term "binding affinity" refers to the strength of a non-covalent interaction between two molecules, such as an antibody (or antigen-binding fragment thereof) and an antigen. Thus, for example, the term may refer to a 1:1 interaction between an antibody (or antigen-binding fragment thereof) and an antigen, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context. Binding affinity can be measured by measuring the equilibrium dissociation constant (K D ), the equilibrium dissociation constant is the dissociation rate constant (k d ,time -1 ) divided by the association rate constant (k a ,time -1 M -1 ). K can be determined by measuring the kinetics of complex formation and dissociation. D , for example using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methods such as Biacore TM system; kinetic exclusion tests, e.g. and BioLayer interferometry (e.g. using Octet platform). As used herein, "binding affinity" includes not only formal binding affinity, such as formal affinity reflecting a 1:1 interaction between an antibody (or an antigen-binding fragment thereof) and an antigen, but also apparent affinity, which may reflect strong binding, for which K is calculated. D .

[0089] As used herein, the term "cross-reactivity" refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to two or more antigens. As a non-limiting example, in some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to a first allergen target (e.g., a first peanut allergen, such as Arah 2) may exhibit cross-reactivity with a second allergen target (e.g., a second peanut allergen, such as Arah 3).

[0090] The term "isolated" used with reference to a nucleic acid or protein (e.g., an antibody) means that the nucleic acid or protein is substantially free of other cellular components with which it is associated in the native state. Preferably, it is in a homogeneous state. Purity and homogeneity are typically determined using analytical chemistry techniques, such as electrophoresis (e.g., polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) or chromatography (e.g., high performance liquid chromatography). In some embodiments, an isolated nucleic acid or protein (e.g., an antibody) has a purity of at least 85%, a purity of at least 90%, a purity of at least 95%, or a purity of at least 99%.

[0091] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The term applies to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is an artificial chemical mimetic of the corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. As used herein, the term encompasses amino acid chains of any length, including full-length proteins, in which the amino acid residues are linked by covalent peptide bonds.

[0092] The term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those amino acids encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids, i.e., carbon bound to a hydrogen, carboxyl, amino, and R groups, such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methioninemethyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. "Amino acid mimetics" refer to compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid but function in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.

[0093] Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Likewise, nucleotides may be referred to by their commonly accepted single-letter codes.

[0094] As used herein, the terms "nucleic acid" and "polynucleotide" are used interchangeably. The use of the term "polynucleotide" includes oligonucleotides (i.e., short polynucleotides). The term also refers to deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, and naturally occurring variants, and may also refer to synthetic and / or non-naturally occurring nucleic acids (i.e., including nucleic acid analogs or modified backbone residues or bonding), for example, but not limited to: phosphorothioates, phosphoramidates, methylphosphonates, chiral-methylphosphonates, 2-O-methylribonucleotides, peptide-nucleic acids (PNA), etc. Unless otherwise indicated, a specific nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences as well as sequences explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions can be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and / or deoxyinosine residues (see, e.g., Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).

[0095] As used herein, the term "sample" refers to a biological sample obtained from a human or non-human mammalian subject. In some embodiments, the sample includes blood, blood components (blood fraction) or blood products (e.g., serum, plasma, platelets, red blood cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, etc.); sputum or saliva; feces, urine, other biological fluids (e.g., lymph, saliva, prostatic fluid, gastric juice, intestinal fluid, kidney fluid, lung fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.), tissue (e.g., kidney, lung, liver, heart, brain, neural tissue, thyroid, eye, skeletal muscle, cartilage or bone tissue), cultured cells (e.g., primary culture, explant, transformed cell or stem cell) or biopsy sample.

[0096] The terms "subject" and "patient" used interchangeably herein refer to mammals, including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents (e.g., rats, mice, and guinea pigs), rabbits, cows, pigs, horses, and other mammals. In one embodiment, the subject or patient is a human.

[0097] The term "treatment" refers to any indicator of successful treatment or alleviation of an injury, disease, or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter, such as ablation; remission; lessening of symptoms or making the injury, disease, or condition more tolerable to the subject; slowing the rate of deterioration or decline; making the final point of decline less debilitating; and / or improving the physical or mental health of the subject. Treatment or alleviation of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters. The effect of treatment can be compared to an individual or a large group of individuals who have not received treatment, or to the same patient at different times before or during treatment.

[0098] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a composition suitable for administration to a subject. Typically, the pharmaceutical composition is sterile and preferably does not contain contaminants that can cause an undesirable response in the subject. The pharmaceutical composition can be designed to be administered to a subject in need thereof via a variety of different routes of administration, including oral, intravenous, buccal, rectal, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intratracheal, intramuscular, subcutaneous, inhalation, etc.

[0099] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to an inactive drug ingredient that is biologically or pharmacologically compatible with humans or animals, such as, but not limited to, a buffer, a carrier, or a preservative.

[0100] As used herein, a "therapeutic amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" of an agent (e.g., a monoclonal antibody disclosed herein) refers to treating, alleviating, abating, relieving, improving patient survival, increasing survival time or survival rate, reducing symptoms, making an injury, disease, or condition (e.g., an allergy) more tolerable, slowing the rate of degeneration or debilitation, or improving the patient's physical or mental health. For example, for a given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount will show an increase or decrease in therapeutic effect of at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or 100%. Therapeutic efficacy can also be expressed as a "fold" increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can have an effect of at least 1.2 times, 1.5 times, 2 times, 5 times, or more relative to a control.

[0101] The term "administering" or "dosing" refers to a method of delivering an agent, compound, or composition to a desired site of biological action. These methods include, but are not limited to, topical delivery, parenteral delivery, intravenous delivery, intradermal delivery, intramuscular delivery, rectal delivery, or intraperitoneal delivery. Administration techniques optionally used with the agents and methods described herein include, for example, those discussed in Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current edition; Pergamon; and Remington's, Pharmaceutical Sciences (current edition), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA. III. Methods for generating allergen-specific antibodies

[0102] In one aspect, a method for generating allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies from a human sample is provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: (a) isolating single B cells from a sample of a human subject, wherein the subject is allergic to the allergen; (b) generating cDNA from the single B cell of step (a), wherein the cDNA sequence comprises a first sequence encoding all or part of an immunoglobulin heavy chain and a second sequence encoding all or part of an immunoglobulin light chain; (c) determining the sequence of the cDNA from step (b); (d) analyzing the sequences determined in step (c) to identify single B cells comprising a first sequence comprising an IgE constant region or an IgG4 constant region; (e) identifying from the single B cell of step (d) (i) a heavy chain variable region sequence in the immunoglobulin heavy chain comprising an IgE constant region or an IgG4 constant region, and (ii) a light chain variable region sequence in an immunoglobulin light chain co-expressed with the immunoglobulin heavy chain in the same single B cell; (f) expressing an antibody comprising the heavy chain variable region sequence and the light chain variable region sequence from step (e); and (g) identifying one or more antibodies from step (f) that specifically bind to the allergen. Subject population and samples

In some embodiments, the sample comprises whole blood, peripheral blood, or a leukocyte separation product. In some embodiments, the sample comprises peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In some embodiments, the sample comprises tissue from a human subject, for example, tonsil tissue, spleen, or bone marrow. Methods for isolating B cells from blood and tissue samples are described in the art. See, for example, Heine et al., Curr Protoc. Immunol., 2011, 94: 7.5.1-7.5.14; and Zuccolo et al., BMC Immunol, 2009, 10: 30, doi: 10.1186 / 1471-2172-10-30.

[0104] In some embodiments, the allergen-specific antibodies are generated from a human subject with an allergy to the allergen. In some embodiments, the human subject with the allergy is an adult. In some embodiments, the human subject with the allergy is a teenager. In some embodiments, the human subject has an allergy to a food allergen, a plant allergen, a fungal allergen, an animal allergen, a dust mite allergen, a drug allergen, a cosmetic allergen, or a latex allergen. In some embodiments, the human subject has an allergy to two or more allergens, for example, an allergy to two or more of a food allergen, a plant allergen, a fungal allergen, an animal allergen, a dust mite allergen, a drug allergen, a cosmetic allergen, or a latex allergen. In some embodiments, the human subject has an allergy to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more allergens. In some embodiments, the human subject has allergies to two or more different types of antigens (allergens) within a class of allergens, e.g., allergies to two or more different food allergens [e.g., allergies to two or more different peanut antigens or allergies to peanut allergens and non-peanut allergens (e.g., stone fruit, egg, or milk allergens)] or allergies to two or more different fungal allergens (e.g., allergies to two or more different species of Aspergillus). In some embodiments, the human subject has allergies to two or more different classes of allergens (e.g., allergies to one or more food allergens and to one or more plant allergens). In some embodiments, the human subject has allergies to only one class of allergens (e.g., the subject has allergies to one or more food allergens, but not to non-food allergens, or the subject has allergies to one or more fungal allergens, but not to non-fungal allergens).

[0105] In some embodiments, the human subject has an allergy to a food allergen. In some embodiments, the food allergen is a milk allergen, an egg allergen, a nut allergen, a stone fruit allergen, a fish allergen, a shellfish allergen, a legume allergen, a legume allergen, a seed allergen, or a wheat allergen. In some embodiments, the food allergen is a peanut allergen.

In some embodiments, the human subject has an allergy to an animal allergen. In some embodiments, the allergen is a dander allergen or an insect bite.

[0107] In some embodiments, the method of generating allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies does not comprise immunizing the human subject with the allergen or contacting the human subject with the allergen prior to obtaining the sample from the subject. B cell isolation and screening

[0108] In some embodiments, a single B cell is isolated from a sample of a subject having an allergy to an allergen. In some embodiments, the single B cell is isolated into separate partitions, such as separate wells of a multi-well plate, encapsulated into droplets, or dispersed into microwells. In some embodiments, at least 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, or 10,000 B cells or more are isolated from a sample and separated into separate partitions.

FACS sorting can be used to sort cells based on cell surface marker expression, cell size and / or granularity, and the cells are delivered to wells, such as 96-well or 384-well tissue culture or PCR plates. Methods for separating and purifying cell populations by FACS are described in the art. See, for example, Basu et al., J Vis Exp, 2010, 41: 1546, doi: 10.3791 / 1546.

[0110] In some embodiments, the droplet microfluidic platform can be used to distribute a single B cell into a separate droplet. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA) of a single cell in a droplet is labeled with a nucleotide sequence unique to the droplet (e.g., a unique molecular identifier barcode nucleotide sequence), thereby enabling downstream processing steps of sequences from multiple B cells performed in a single reaction vessel. Methods for encapsulating single cells in droplets are described in the art. See, e.g., Macosko et al., Cell, 2015, 161: 1202-1214; Zhang et al., Scientific Reports, 2017, 7: 41192, doi: 10.1038 / srep41192.

[0111] In some embodiments, cells are dispersed into microwells designed to capture single cells. Methods for single cell microwell capture are described in the art. See, e.g., Han et al., Cell, 2018, 172:5, doi: 10.1016 / j.cell.2018.02.001.

[0112] In some embodiments, cells from a sample are screened for the presence, absence, or expression level of one or more markers, and single B cells are separated based on the presence or expression level of one or more B cell markers (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or more markers). In some embodiments, cells are screened for one or more cell surface B cell markers (e.g., but not limited to CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD40, CD72, or CD79). In some embodiments, if a cell is positive for one or more B cell markers, such as CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD40, CD72, or CD79, the cell is determined to be a B cell. In some embodiments, a single CD19 is separated. + B cells.

[0113] In some embodiments, cells from the sample are screened for the presence, absence or expression level of one or more immunoglobulin isotypes (e.g., but not limited to IgE, IgG, IgM, IgA or IgD or its subclass). In some embodiments, the isolated single B cells are selected for the expression of cell surface IgE and / or for the expression of cell surface IgG4. In some embodiments, the isolated single B cells are not selected for the expression of one or more immunoglobulin isotypes (e.g., not selected to express cell surface IgE and / or to express cell surface IgG4). IgE selection

[0114] In some embodiments, the method includes separating and selecting single B cells for expressing cell surface IgE. In some embodiments, the separation step includes contacting the cells of the sample with anti-human IgE antibodies and selecting cells expressing IgE on the cell surface. In some embodiments, the separation step includes contacting the cells of the sample with antibodies to B cell markers (e.g., antibodies to CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD40, CD72, or CD79) and anti-human IgE antibodies, and selecting cells expressing B cell markers and expressing IgE on the cell surface.

In some embodiments, the method includes separating B cells that secrete antibodies that express IgG4 and memory B cells that express IgG4. Generate and sequence cDNA

[0125] In some embodiments, cDNA is generated from a single B cell isolated from a sample [e.g., from a single B cell that has been screened for expression of an immunoglobulin isotype (e.g., IgE or IgG4), or a single B cell that has never been screened for expression of an immunoglobulin isotype]. In some embodiments, a cDNA library is prepared from a single B cell. In some embodiments, for the cDNA generated for each single B cell, the cDNA sequence includes a sequence encoding an immunoglobulin heavy chain and a sequence encoding an immunoglobulin light chain.

[0126] In some embodiments, cDNA is generated by reverse transcription of a cDNA sequence (e.g., total RNA or mRNA) from the RNA of a single B cell and amplification of the cDNA sequence. In order to generate cDNA, in some embodiments, a single B cell is cracked, and the cDNA sequence is reverse transcribed from the mRNA present in the cell lysate. In some embodiments, RNA is separated from a single B cell, and cDNA is reverse transcribed from the separated RNA.

[0127] In some embodiments, the method includes amplifying the transcriptome of a single B cell. For example, in some embodiments, the method includes reverse transcribing RNA (e.g., polyadenylated mRNA) to synthesize cDNA, and then amplifying the cDNA, for example, by PCR. Exemplary methods for reverse transcribing polyadenylated mRNA and amplifying the transcriptome of a single cell are described in Darmanis et al., Cell Reports, 2017, 21: 1399-1410, and Picelli et al., Nature Protocols, 9, 2014, 171-181.

[0128] In some embodiments, the method includes amplifying immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain sequences from a single B cell. For example, in some embodiments, the method includes reverse transcription of RNA (e.g., total RNA) to synthesize cDNA, and then using primers for immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region and constant region, such as by PCR to amplify cDNA. In some embodiments, the method includes reverse transcription of RNA using immunoglobulin specific primers (e.g., constant region specific primers) to synthesize cDNA including immunoglobulin sequences, and then using primers for immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region and constant region to amplify cDNA. Exemplary methods for amplifying immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain sequences from a single cell are described in Tiller et al., J. Immunol. Methods, 2008, 329: 112-124.

[0129] In some embodiments, after generating cDNA, the method includes determining the sequence of cDNA. In some embodiments, the cDNA is subjected to sequencing. In some embodiments, the method includes sequencing the transcriptome of a single B cell. In some embodiments, the method includes sequencing a target gene (e.g., an immunoglobulin gene, e.g., an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region and a constant region and an immunoglobulin light chain variable region and a constant region).

[0130] Sequencing methods, including methods for high-throughput sequencing, are known in the art. For example, such sequencing technologies include, but are not limited to, pyrophosphate sequencing, sequencing-by-ligation, single-molecule sequencing, sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS), massively parallel cloning, massively parallel single-molecule SBS, massively parallel single-molecule real-time, massively parallel single-molecule real-time nanopore technology, etc. Morozova and Marra provide a review of some of these technologies in Genomics, 92:255 (2008), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0131] In some embodiments, sequencing includes high-throughput sequencing.In high-throughput sequencing, the parallel sequencing reaction using multiple templates and multiple primers allows genome or most of genome to be sequenced quickly.High-throughput sequencing methods include the method of template amplification and the method of template amplification not used usually.The sequencing method utilizing amplification includes the pyrophosphate sequencing commercialized by Roche as 454 technology platforms (such as GS20 and GS FLX), the clone array formation and sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry commercialized by Illumina utilizing systems such as NextSeq, and the oligonucleotide connection and detection (SOLiD) platform commercialized by AppliedBiosystems.Non-amplification method, also referred to as single molecule sequencing, is commercialized by Helicos BioSciences HeliScope platform, and the platform commercialized by VisiGen, Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd., Life Technologies / Ion Torrent and PacificBiosciences is demonstrated.

[0132] In some embodiments, an Illumina sequencing platform, such as NextSeq, is used. This sequencing technology utilizes clonal array formation and sequencing by synthesis to generate sequences on a large scale. In this method, the sequencing template is fixed to the surface of the circulation cell, and then solid phase amplification produces copies of each template molecule (up to 1,000 identical copies) in a close adjacent manner to form a dense "cluster" of polynucleotide sequences. In order to sequence the clusters, the clusters on the surface of the circulation cell are sequenced in parallel using fluorescently labeled nucleotides. For each sequencing cycle, a single labeled dNTP bound to a reversible terminator is added to the nucleic acid chain. The sequence of the incorporated nucleotides is determined by detecting the fluorescence after incorporation, and then the fluorescent dye is removed before the next dNTP addition cycle, thereby performing base-by-base sequencing. Typically, the sequence read length is in the range of about 30 nucleotides to more than 150 nucleotides. For target cDNAs with longer lengths, the sequence can be reassembled in a bioinformatics manner based on the overlap between short sequencing reads to determine the sequence of the full-length target cDNA. Identification of B cells with IgE or IgG4 isotype

[0133] In some embodiments, after the cDNA sequence of the individual B cells has been determined, the method includes analyzing the sequence of the cDNA to identify individual B cells that express immunoglobulin heavy chains having an IgE constant region of the IgE isotype and / or the IgG4 isotype. As described herein, it has been found that determining the isotype of the B cells based on the sequence of the heavy chain transcript rather than FACS immunoglobulin surface staining substantially reduces the number of false positive IgE cells in the B cell population, thereby producing a B cell population that is more likely to harvest antibodies that specifically bind to an allergen to which the human subject from which the B cells were derived is allergic.

[0134] In some embodiments, the method includes identifying the sequence of the immunoglobulin heavy chain that the coding includes the IgE constant region. In some embodiments, the method includes identifying the sequence of the immunoglobulin heavy chain that the coding includes the IgG4 constant region. In some embodiments, the cDNA sequence is analyzed by comparing the cDNA sequence with a known IgE constant region sequence or a known IgG4 constant region sequence. For example, the target cDNA sequence (for example, "test" sequence from a B cell) can be compared with a known IgE or IgG4 constant region sequence (for example, "reference" sequence) by comparing the sequence. The sequence alignment method for comparison is known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be performed, for example, by the local homology alignment algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI), or by manual alignment and visual inspection. Suitable algorithms for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 and Altschul et al. (1977) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website.

[0135] In order to compare the test sequence with an IgE or IgG4 constant region reference sequence, in some embodiments, the reference sequence is a public sequence, such as an IgE or IgG4 constant region sequence, which is publicly available in the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) database. See, for example, Camacho et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 2009, 10:421; Lefranc et al., Nucleic Acids Res, 2009, 37:D1006-1012. Table 1 below also describes methods for analyzing the test sequence to identify sequences of immunoglobulin heavy chain constant regions that include IgE isotypes and / or IgG4 isotypes.

[0136] In some embodiments, in addition to analyzing the sequence to identify and select a single B cell comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain sequence comprising an IgE constant region or an IgG4 constant region, the method further comprises determining the sequence and / or expression level of one or more other genes in the single B cell. For example, in some embodiments, the method comprises determining the sequence and / or expression level of a set of genes that are a "signature" of a particular type of B cell.

[0137] In some embodiments, for a B cell identified as having an immunoglobulin heavy chain comprising an IgE constant region or an IgG4 constant region, the method further comprises identifying, from the same B cell, a heavy chain variable region sequence expressed by the cell and a light chain variable region sequence expressed by the cell. Antibody expression

[0138] Typically, for a single B cell identified as having a cDNA comprising an IgE or IgG4 constant region sequence, the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region sequences from the single B cell are candidate antibody sequences that are specific for the target allergen. Thus, in some embodiments, the method comprises expressing an antibody comprising a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region sequence from a single B cell, and identifying whether the expressed antibody specifically binds to the target allergen. Methods for expressing and purifying recombinant antibodies are described in the art. See, e.g., Frenzel et al., Front Immunol., 2013, 4:217, doi:10.3389 / fimmu.2013.00217; Siegemund et al., Methods Mol Biol., 2014, 1131:273-295.

[0139] In some embodiments, the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region sequences from a single B cell are amplified from a single B cell and cloned into an expression vector. In some embodiments, the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region sequences from a single B cell are synthesized. In some embodiments, the heavy chain variable region sequence and / or the light chain variable region sequence are codon optimized, for example, to increase antibody expression through an expression system. See, for example, Ayyar et al., Methods, 2017, 116: 51-62.

[0140] The heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region sequences from a single B cell can be expressed using any number of expression systems (including prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems). In some embodiments, the expression system is a mammalian cell expression, such as a hybridoma, or a CHO or HEK293 cell expression system. Many such systems are widely available from commercial suppliers. Cell expression systems are also described in the art. See, for example, Kunert and Reinhart, 2016, "Advances inrecombinant antibody manufacturing" Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 100: 3451-61; Jager et al., BMC Proc., 2015, 9: P40, doi: 10.1186 / 1753-6561-9-S9-P40; and references cited therein. In some embodiments, the heavy chain and light chain are expressed using a single vector, such as in a bicistronic expression unit or under the control of different promoters. In other embodiments, the heavy chain and light chain are expressed using separate vectors. In some embodiments, the expression vector for expressing the heavy chain variable region sequence and / or the light chain variable region sequence as disclosed herein is a vector comprising the constant region of the desired heavy chain isotype or light chain subclass. For example, the heavy chain variable region sequence as disclosed herein can be cloned into a vector comprising a human IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4) heavy chain constant region, and the light chain variable region sequence as disclosed herein can be cloned into a vector comprising a human λ or κ light chain constant region.

[0141] In some embodiments, after expressing and purifying an antibody comprising a heavy chain variable region sequence and a light chain variable region sequence from a single B cell as disclosed herein, the method comprises determining whether the antibody specifically binds to the allergen. Methods for analyzing binding affinity and binding kinetics are known in the art. See, e.g., Ernst et al., Determination of Equilibrium Dissociation Constants, Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies (Wiley & Sons ed. 2009). These methods include, but are not limited to, solid phase binding assays (e.g., ELISA assays), immunoprecipitation, surface plasmon resonance (SPR, e.g., Biacore TM (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ)), kinetic exclusion assays (e.g. ), flow cytometry, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), BioLayer interferometry (e.g. Octet TM(FortéBio, Inc., Menlo Park, CA)) and Western blot analysis. SPR technology is reviewed in, for example, Hahnfeld et al. Determination of Kinetic Data Using SPR Biosensors, Molecular Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases (2004). In a typical SPR experiment, an interacting agent (target or targeted agent) is fixed on an SPR active, gold-plated glass slide in a flow cell, and a sample containing another interacting agent is introduced to flow through the entire surface. When light of a given wavelength is irradiated on the surface, the change in the optical reflectivity of gold indicates binding and binding kinetics. In some embodiments, kinetic exclusion assays are used to determine affinity. The technology is described in, for example, Darling et al., Assay and Drug Development Technologies Vol. 2, No. 6 647-657 (2004). In some embodiments, affinity is determined using BioLayer interferometry. This technique is described, for example, in Wilson et al., Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 38:400-407 (2010); Dysinger et al., J. Immunol. Methods, 379:30-41 (2012).

[0142] In some embodiments, the expressed antibodies specifically bind to the allergen with high affinity. In some embodiments, the antibodies have a binding affinity (K) of less than 250 nM, less than 100 nM, less than 50 nM, less than 10 nM, less than 5 nM, less than 1 nM, less than 500 pM, less than 250 pM, less than 150 pM, less than 100 pM, less than 50 pM, less than 40 pM, less than 30 pM, less than 20 pM, less than about 10 pM, or less than 1 pM for the allergen.

Characteristics of allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies

[0154] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a food allergen, a plant allergen, a fungal allergen, an animal allergen, a dust mite allergen, a drug allergen, a cosmetic allergen, or a latex allergen. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody is an antibody that specifically binds to a food allergen (e.g., a milk allergen, an egg allergen, a nut allergen, a fish allergen, a shellfish allergen, a legume allergen, a legume allergen, a seed allergen, or a wheat allergen).

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many different allergens, such as many plant food allergens, can be classified into a small number of protein families. For example, more than half of all plant food allergens can be classified into one of the following four structural protein families: the prolamin superfamily, the cupin superfamily, the profilin, and the protein associated with Bet v-1. One of ordinary skill in the art will also recognize that for a particular type of allergen (e.g., a "peanut" allergen), there may be more than one peptide or protein that is an allergen. As a non-limiting example, there are 12 known peanut allergens. See Mueller et al., Curr Allergy Asthma Rep, 2014, 14:429.

[0158] In some embodiments, the heavy chain variable region and / or light chain variable region of the monoclonal antibody has the same sequence as the heavy chain variable region and / or light chain variable region encoded by a single B cell producing IgE or IgG4 from a human subject with allergy to the allergen. In some embodiments, the heavy chain variable region and / or light chain variable region of the monoclonal antibody includes one or more modifications, e.g., amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions.

[0159] As described in the Examples section below, the heavy chain variable region sequence and / or the light chain variable region sequence of an antibody described herein (e.g., a peanut allergen-specific monoclonal antibody, such as clone PA13P1H08, clone PA13P1E10, clone PA12P3F10, clone PA13P3G09, clone PA12P3D08, clone PA12P1C07, clone PA15P1D12, clone PA15P1D05, or a clone PA13P1H08 variant) can be engineered to include one or more changes in the heavy chain variable region sequence and / or the light chain variable region sequence. In some embodiments, the engineered changes improve the binding affinity of the antibody to the allergen. In some embodiments, the engineered changes improve the cross-reactivity of the antibody to a second allergen.

[0160] In some embodiments, the engineered changes are changes in one or more CDRs, for example, amino acid substitutions in heavy chain CDRs and / or light chain CDRs as described herein. In some embodiments, the engineered changes are changes in one or more framework regions, for example, amino acid substitutions in heavy chain framework regions and / or light chain framework regions. In some embodiments, the engineered changes are reversions of heavy chain and / or light chain sequence regions to the original sequence inferred. Methods for determining the original immunoglobulin sequence inferred are described in the art. See, for example, Magnani et al., PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2017, 11: e0005655, doi: 10.1371 / journal.pntd.0005655.

[0161] In some embodiments, affinity maturation is used to engineer further mutations that enhance the binding affinity of the antibody to the allergen or enhance the cross-reactivity of the antibody to a second allergen. Methods for performing affinity maturation are known in the art. See, e.g., Renaut et al., Methods Mol Biol, 2012, 907:451-461. Constant region and isotype switching

[0162] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region sequence and a light chain variable region sequence derived from a human B cell producing IgE or a human B cell producing IgG4, and further comprises a κ or λ light chain constant region. In some embodiments, the light chain constant region (κ or λ) is from the same type of light chain (i.e., κ or λ) as the light chain variable region derived from a human B cell producing IgE or a human B cell producing IgG4; as a non-limiting example, if the human B cell producing IgE comprises a κ light chain, the monoclonal antibody produced comprises a light chain variable region from a B cell producing IgE and further comprises a κ light chain constant region.

[0163] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes a heavy chain variable region sequence and a light chain variable region sequence derived from a human B cell producing IgE or a human B cell producing IgG4, and further includes a heavy chain constant region (e.g., a modified IgG4 constant region) having an IgG isotype (e.g., IgG4), an IgA isotype (e.g., IgA1), an IgM isotype, an IgD isotype, or derived from an IgG, IgA, IgM, or IgD isotype. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that different heavy chain isotypes (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM) have different effector functions mediated by a heavy chain constant region, and for certain uses, it may be desirable to have antibodies with effector functions of a particular isotype (e.g., IgG).

[0164] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes natural (i.e., wild type) human IgG, IgA, IgM or IgD constant regions. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes natural human IgG1 constant region, natural human IgG2 constant region, natural human IgG3 constant region, natural human IgG4 constant region, natural human IgA1 constant region, natural human IgA2 constant region, natural human IgM constant region or natural human IgD constant region. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes a heavy chain constant region comprising one or more modifications. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that modification, such as amino acid substitution, can be performed at one or more residues regulating effector functions in the heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments, modification reduces effector functions, such as resulting in the ability to induce certain biological functions after binding to Fc receptors expressed on effector cells that mediate effector functions. In some embodiments, modification (such as amino acid substitution) prevents Fab arm exchange in vivo, which can introduce undesirable effects and reduce the therapeutic efficacy of antibodies. See, e.g., Silva et al., J Biol Chem, 2015, 280:5462-5469.

[0165] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes a natural (i.e., wild type) human IgM constant region, a human IgD constant region, a human IgG constant region, or a human IgA constant region derived from IgA1 or IgA2 derived from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4, and one or more modifications including regulating effector functions. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes a human IgM constant region, a human IgD constant region, a human IgG constant region, or a human IgA constant region derived from IgA1 or IgA2 derived from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody includes a natural (i.e., wild type) human IgM constant region, a human IgD constant region, a human IgG constant region, or a human IgA constant region derived from IgA1 or IgA2 derived from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions). In some embodiments, the constant region comprises changes (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more amino acid substitutions) that reduce effector function.

[0166] In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody comprises a CDR sequence, a heavy chain variable region, and / or a light chain variable region of an antibody from an IgE or IgG4 B cell as described herein (e.g., as disclosed in Table 1 below), and further comprises a heavy chain constant region and / or a light chain constant region that is heterologous to an antibody from an IgE or IgG4 B cell as a source of the CDR sequence and / or variable region sequence. For example, in some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody comprises a CDR sequence and / or a variable region sequence of an antibody from an IgEB cell, and further comprises a heavy chain constant region and a light chain constant region that are heterologous to an antibody from an IgE B cell [e.g., a heavy chain constant region and / or a light chain constant region are wild-type or modified IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 constant regions, or a heavy chain constant region and / or a light chain constant region comprise one or more modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions) relative to the natural constant region of an antibody from an IgE B cell].

[0358] In some embodiments, in any method described herein, the method may further include assessing the reduction of allergic symptoms (e.g., allergic symptoms associated with peanut allergy, nut allergy, milk allergy, or fungal allergy) in the subject. In certain embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by a total nasal symptom score (TNSS), which is based on a patient assessment of four symptoms: 0 (none) to 3 (severe) for congestion, itching, and rhinorrhea, and 0 (none) to 3 (5 or more) for sneezing. Each of the four symptoms is assessed using the following criteria: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, or 3 = severe. The possible scores of the TNSS are 0-12. In other embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by a nasal symptom score of a visual analog scale (VAS), which is typically used to classify allergic burden as mild, moderate, and severe. A VAS nasal symptom score from 0 (no nasal symptoms) to 100 (maximum nasal symptoms) can be used to assess the severity of combined nasal symptoms. In other embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), which uses a nasal spirometer to measure the patient's nasal airflow (measured in 1 / min). In yet other embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by allergen skin testing, such as skin prick testing (SPT), which uses the presence and extent of skin reactivity as a marker of sensitization in target organs (e.g., eyes, nose, lungs, intestines, and skin). When the relevant allergens (e.g., peanut allergens, stone fruit allergens, milk allergens, or fungal allergens) are introduced into the skin, the allergic reaction on the skin produces blister and flare responses, which can be quantified, for example, using the diameter of the blister. In yet other embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by a basophil activation test, which uses flow cytometry to quantify the expression of markers activated on the surface of basophils after allergen stimulation. In yet other embodiments, the reduction of allergic symptoms can be measured by oral food challenges, which involve administering increasing doses of allergens to allergic individuals under the supervision of a trained allergist or immunologist. Oral food challenges can be performed in an open, single-blind, or double-blind format, with the gold standard being both double-blind and placebo-controlled.
