Raji cells were first incubated with KRAS(G12C)-AMG510 conjugate or KRAS (wild-type) peptide, and then excess conjugate and peptide were washed away. Antibody levels detected using fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies are shown as a function of the IgG concentration used for staining. The apparent dissociation constant (K) was determined using a nonlinear least squares fit of a 1:1 binding function. D ) values. The data shown here are from three replicate measurements.

Pulsed cells were co-cultured with human T cells (effector: target = 3:1) in the presence of the indicated concentrations of single-chain diabodies (scDb). After incubation, dead cells were stained and detected by flow cytometry. The data shown here are from three replicates. Error bars represent standard deviations. When error bars are not visible, the error is less than the symbol. Figure 18B An equivalent experiment using T2 cells and osimertinib conjugated to an EGFR peptide is shown.

Figure 19A Shown are lung cancer cell lines treated with 100 nM AMG-510 for 24 hours and then co-cultured with human T cells (E:T = 5:1) in the presence of AMRA3-7_UCHT1 scDb. After incubation, cell viability was measured. The scDb antibody exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect only against AMG510-treated cells harboring the cognate KRAS mutation (G12C) and HLA (HLA-A3). Figure 19B The cytotoxic effect of scDb at a concentration of 0.1 nM is shown. The data shown here are from four replicate measurements.

[0237] Figure 25 Binding of single-chain Fv antibody clones to the AMG510-KRAS(G12C) peptide conjugate complexed with HLA-A*11 was measured in a yeast display format. Binding intensity is expressed as median fluorescence intensity (MEI) in arbitrary units.

Data for the 9-mer peptide VVGAC*GVGK (where C* represents the Cys residue conjugated to AMG-510) are shown as solid circles, and data for the 10-mer peptide VVVGAC*GVGK are shown as open circles.

Figures 27A-27C Shown are comparisons of the binding of antibody clones to the AMG510-KRAS(G12C) peptide (9-mer) presented on HLA-A*03 (filled circles) and to the isolated AMG-510-KRAS(G12C) peptide (i.e., in the absence of HLA-A*03) (open boxes). Figure 27D Binding of the antibodies to the AMG510-KRAS(G12C) peptide conjugate presented on HLA in the presence and absence of 10 μM free AMG-510 is shown, indicating that these antibodies are not inhibited by the presence of excess concentrations of free AMG-510.
[0240] Figure 28 .Cytotoxic effect of scDb antibodies on lung cancer cells treated with AMG510. Luciferase-expressing NCI-H2122 cells were incubated with 1 μM AMG-510 or DMSO (vehicle) and then co-cultured with human T cells (E:T = 10:1) in the presence of scDb. After incubation, target cell death was assessed by measuring luciferase activity released from dead cells into the culture medium. The affinity-matured antibodies showed potent cytotoxic effects in a manner that was dependent on AMG-510 treatment. The concentration of scDb was 10 nM, but 5 nM was used for anti-HLA-A3 scDb (positive control scDb targeting HLA-A*03). The data shown here are from four replicate measurements.

Sensorgrams of HLA complexes with the indicated concentrations of the 9-mer peptide VVGAC*GVGK (where C* represents the Cys residue conjugated to AMG-510) are shown in black in the upper panel. Data for the 10-mer peptide VVVGAC*GVGK are shown in the lower panel. Data for HLA complexes with 64 nM of the wild-type 9-mer VVGAGGVGK and the 10-mer VVVGAGGVGK are shown in gray. RA_D11 in the form of a biotinylated Fab was immobilized on a BLI tip and reacted with HLA complexes in solution. D Values were estimated by global curve fitting of a 1:1 binding model.

[0249] Figure 37 Specific cytotoxicity of the RA_D11 scDb antibody against KRAS(G12C)-expressing H2122 (left panel) and SW1573 (right panel) lung cancer cell lines pretreated with 1 μM AMG-510. An anti-pan-HLA-A*03 scDb (A3-2) was used as a positive control. Note that it also binds to HLA-A02, although less tightly than HLA-A*03. Figure 28 Proceed in the same way.
[0250] Figure 38 As expected, the AMRA3-7 and RA_D11 scDb antibodies had no cytotoxic effect on wild-type KRAS-expressing Raji cells treated with AMG510. Raji cells were pretreated with 1 μM AMG-510 and stained with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CSFE). Cells were then cocultured with human T cells (E:T = 5:1) in the presence of scDb for 18 hours, harvested, stained with the fixable viability dye eFluor 660, and analyzed by flow cytometry.
[0251] Figure 39 Binding titration of EO_Q16 and EO_Q17 to osimertinib-EGFR / HLA-A*02 (filled circles) and to EGFR / HLA-A*02 (no drug conjugation; open circles) showed that these antibodies have high affinity for their intended antigens but no affinity for the equivalent antibody without drug conjugation.
[0252] Figure 40 Binding of EO_Q16 and EO_Q17 to osimertinib-EGFR / HLA-A*02 (10 nM) in the absence and presence of free osimertinib (1 μM), indicating that antigen binding of these antibodies is not inhibited by the presence of free drug.
[0253] Figure 41 Cytotoxic effects of scDb antibodies on cells treated with drug-peptide conjugates. EO_Q16 and EO_Q17 scDb antibodies exhibited potent cytotoxic effects against cells treated with osimertinib-EGFRb peptide conjugates, but not against cells treated with the same peptide without drug conjugation. BB7.2 scDb, a pan-HLA-A2 clone, served as a positive control. Data shown are from triplicate measurements.
[0254] Figure 42 Cytotoxic effects of scDb antibodies on OCI-AML3 cells treated with osimertinib. EO_Q16 and EO_Q17 scDb antibodies showed no cytotoxic effects, as expected, as OCI-AML3 cells are not targeted by osimertinib. BB7.2 scDb, a pan-HLA-A2 clone, served as a positive control. Data shown are from triplicate measurements.
[0255] Figures 43A-43H .Cytotoxic effect of RA_D11 scDb on tumor cells treated with sotolacib. Figure 43A Shown are dose-response curves for the viability of H358 and H2122 cells after 72 hours of exposure to sotolacilib. Figure 43BWestern blot analysis of sotolacilib conjugation to KRAS(G12C) in H2122 cells is shown. H2122 cells were incubated with 100 nM sotolacilib for 24 hours. Arrows indicate KRAS(G12C) conjugated to sotolacilib. Note that the anti-pan RAS antibody detects KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS, so a complete shift of the original band is not expected. Figure 43C The cytotoxic effects of the indicated scDb on H2122-Nluc cells treated with 1 μM sotolacib are shown. The fold change in luminescent signal intensity is shown, normalized to the no scDb control (i.e., H2122 and T cells only). Except for A3-2 scDb (1 nM), the scDb concentration was 10 nM. DMSO is the solvent for sotolacib. Figure 43D Shown is the cell killing titration curve of RA_D11 scDb against H2122-Nluc cells treated with 1 μM sotolacib. Figure 43E The dependence of cell killing on sotolacib concentration at the indicated 1 nM scDb is shown. Figure 43F The HLA-dependence of cell killing by RA_D11scDb is shown. Normalized luminescence intensity is shown for cell lines treated with 0.3 μM sotolacib and co-cultured with T cells in the presence of 1 nM scDb and 0.3 μM sotolacib. The KRAS mutation status and HLA alleles of the cell lines are shown. Because each cell line expressed different Nluc levels, each assay was performed separately, and the relative luciferase level was determined for each cell line. Figure 43G and Figure 43H The cytotoxic effect of RA_D11 scDb (1 nM) on H2030-Nluc (G) and SW1573-Nluc (H) cells treated with sotolacib is shown. The data shown are from four replicate measurements.

Figure 45AThe cytotoxic effects of the indicated scDb on H2122-Nluc cells treated with 1 mM sotolacib are shown. Except for the positive control A3-2 scDb (1 nM), the scDb concentration was 10 nM. Figure 45B Shown are the cytotoxic effects of the indicated scDb on various NLuc-expressing tumor cell lines treated with 0.3 μM sotolacib. The scDb concentration was 1 nM. Figure 45C and Figure 45D The results show the effect of RA_D11 scDb on H2030-Nluc cells treated with Sotolacib ( Figure 45C ) and SW1573-Nluc cells ( Figure 45D ) cytotoxicity. The scDb concentration was 1 nM. Anti-pan-HLA-A*03 / A*02 antibody (A3-2 scDb), anti-pan-HLA-A*02 antibody (BB7.2 scDb), and anti-pan-HLA-A*11 antibody (A11-1) served as positive controls. Data shown are from four replicate measurements.

Numbers represent the number of reads for the mutation of interest divided by the total number of reads at that position multiplied by 100.

[0268] Figure 56The Fab RA_D11 binds specifically and with high affinity to all four soto-pMHC targets, and this binding is minimally inhibited by the free inhibitor. Minimal inhibition of RA_D11 binding by free soto-pMHC may be an essential prerequisite for co-administration with an inhibitor.
[0269] Figures 57A-57C CryoEM structures of RA_D11 bound to multiple drug-peptide / MHC complexes elucidated the molecular basis of target recognition. RA_D11 recognized the soto-p / A03-A11 target in a similar manner, primarily interacting with the HLA surface and soto-peptide (with a pocket formed by the interface of the Fab variable chain), while making minimal contacts with the rest of the peptide (p7 or p8).
[0270] Figure 58A and Figure 58B RA_D11 binds to soto-pMHC in a non-canonical manner, distinct from canonical TCR-pMHC engagement.
[0271] Figures 59A-59C Due to the different peptide adaptations of SOTO-P8 (stretched) and SOTO-P7 (bent) into the HLA-A*03 pocket, RA_D11 can recognize SOTO-P7 / A03 and SOTO-P8 / A03 in an almost identical manner. When the SOTO-P7 peptide is loaded by HLA-A*03 or HLA-A*11, the different residues between the two HLAs lead to slightly different conformations of the Fab CDRs (especially CDR-H3) upon target binding.
[0272] Figure 60A and Figure 60B RA_D11 can also bind to soto-p5 / A02, so specific T cell-engaging antibodies based on RA_D11 can also selectively kill KRAS with the most diffuse HLA-A*02. (G12C) RA_D11 binds soto-p5 / A02 in a non-uniform manner, displaying multiple possible orientations, and has reduced surface binding to HLA relative to soto-p / A03-A11 target binding.

[0279] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
[0280] Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include its upper and lower numerical limits, and every narrower numerical range therein, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.
[0281] As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Ranges may be expressed herein as from "about" one particular value and / or to "about" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the from particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when a value is expressed as an approximation by use of the preposition "about," it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. The term "about" in relation to a numerical value includes variations of + / - 10%, + / - 5%, or + / - 1%.
[0282] The present disclosure includes each amino acid sequence described herein and all nucleotide sequences encoding amino acid sequences. Includes each antibody sequence and its antigen-binding fragment. The present invention includes polynucleotides and amino acid sequences with 80-99% similarity (including the end values and including all values and ranges therebetween) to the sequences provided herein. All amino acid sequences described herein may include amino acid substitutions, such as conservative substitutions, which do not adversely affect the function of the protein comprising the amino acid sequence. In this regard, the present disclosure provides alternative residues at certain positions in the binding partners, as described below. In certain instances, alternative residues are identified by deep mutation scanning, which demonstrates the binding function of each binding partner comprising the amino acid changes. The present disclosure includes each binding partner, wherein each alternative residue replaces the original residue alone and in any combination with the alternative residues. Therefore, any binding partner described herein may have any single residue change or combination of the changes. Representative changes for specific antibodies are described in the table. Changes may occur in CDR1, CDR2, CDR3 and combinations thereof. Changes may also include amino acid insertions. The present disclosure includes each amino acid sequence described by reference to the specific sequence identifier and the alternative amino acid described in the above table.
[0283] As described above, the present disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof (collectively referred to as "binding partners", and each individually referred to as a "binding partner"). The term "antibody" includes each binding partner form herein. The binding partner specifically binds to a protein or fragment thereof comprising a covalently linked molecule or a peptide provided in peptide form. The covalently linked molecules form a peptide conjugate. As used herein, "peptide conjugate" refers to any protein or peptide that has been modified so that it is covalently conjugated to another molecule. Peptide conjugates are considered to be a new type of antigen, i.e., a neoantigen. There are no particular restrictions on other molecules that are covalently conjugated to proteins or peptides to form peptide conjugates, provided that the other molecules are not additional amino acids added to the peptide conjugate. In some embodiments, the molecule covalently conjugated to a protein or peptide has or has had biological activity before conjugation, or may be biologically inert before conjugation. In some embodiments, the molecule is a drug, including but not necessarily limited to a small molecule drug. As used herein, molecules that are covalently linked to peptides to form peptide conjugates are referred to as "targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs)" or "covalent drugs". In some cases, the targeted covalent inhibitor can be a molecule that inhibits the activity of the target protein, and can be covalently linked to a peptide from the target protein. In some cases, the targeted covalent inhibitor may not inhibit the activity of the target protein, but can be covalently linked to a peptide from the target protein. The representative and non-limiting examples of the medicine covalently linked to form a peptide conjugate with a peptide or protein are described below. Peptide conjugates include but are not limited to covalently modified full-length proteins and fragments thereof. Peptide conjugates include fragments of full-length proteins, which include covalent modifications and, for example, produced by intracellular processing. In certain embodiments, the full-length protein can be covalently modified and subsequently processed in the cell, thereby producing a peptide conjugate as a fragment of the full-length protein. In one embodiment, the peptide conjugates include fragments of the full-length protein. As further described below, the peptide conjugates produced can be displayed on the cell surface. The cell surface display of the peptide conjugates can be any form of cell surface display, including but not limited to any receptor with an extracellular fragment, or can be displayed by any type of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Non-limiting examples of HLA types to which the peptide conjugates are displayed and to which the binding partner specifically binds are described further below.
[0284] As used herein, the term "peptide conjugate / MHC complex" refers to a peptide conjugate comprising a peptide and a chemical fragment of a targeted covalent inhibitor that is presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). For example, the peptide conjugate can be formed by covalent reaction of the targeted covalent inhibitor with a residue (e.g., a cysteine residue) in the peptide. In some embodiments, the peptide conjugate is composed of AMG-510 and KRAS G12CIn some embodiments, the peptide is introduced from the outside as a vaccine. In some embodiments, the peptide comprises a nucleophilic or electrophilic residue. In some embodiments, the residue comprises cysteine, lysine, tyrosine, histidine, serine, arginine or threonine. In one embodiment, the MHC is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA). In one embodiment, HLA is HLA-A*01:01, HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*03:01, HLA-A*11:01, HLA-A*24:02, HLA-A*26:01, HLA-B*07:02, HLA-B*08:01, HLA-B*27:05, HLA-B*39:01, HLA-B*40:01, HLA-B*58:01 or HLA-B*15:01.
[0285] As used herein, the term "CDR" or "complementarity determining region" refers to the non-contiguous antigen binding sites found within the variable regions of heavy and light chain polypeptides. These specific regions have been described, for example, by Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6609-6616 (1977) and Kabat et al., Sequences of protein of immunological interest (1991), by Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917 (1987), and by MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996), all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, wherein the definitions include overlapping or subsets of amino acid residues when compared to each other. In certain embodiments, the term "CDR" is a CDR as defined in MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996) and Martin A. "Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains," Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dübel, eds., Chapter 31, pp. 422-439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001). In certain embodiments, the term "CDR" is a CDR as defined in Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6609-6616 (1977) and Kabat et al., Sequences of protein of immunological interest (1991). In certain embodiments, the heavy chain CDR and light chain CDR of an antibody are defined using different conventions. In certain embodiments, the heavy chain CDRs and / or light chain CDRs are defined by structural analysis of the antibody and identification of residues in the variable region predicted to contact an epitope region of a target molecule (e.g., a peptide conjugate). CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3 represent heavy chain CDRs, while CDR-L1, CDR-L2, and CDR-L3 represent light chain CDRs.
[0286] The determination of "percent identity" between two sequences (e.g., amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences) can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. A specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm for comparing two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin S & Altschul SF (1990) PNAS 87:2264-2268, as modified in Karlin S & Altschul SF (1993) PNAS 90:5873-5877, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul SF et al., (1990) J Mol Biol 215:403, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed using the NBLAST nucleotide program parameter set, e.g., score = 100, wordlength = 12, to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to the nucleic acid molecules described herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed using the XBLAST program parameter set, e.g., score 50, word length = 3, to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the protein molecules described herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be used as described in Altschul SF et al., (1997) Nuc Acids Res 25: 3389-3402, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, PSIBLAST can be used to perform an iterated search to detect distant relationships between molecules (Id.). When using BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used (see, e.g., the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on the World Wide Web, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Another specific, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for sequence comparison is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, 1988, CABIOS 4: 11-17, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This algorithm is incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), which is a part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. The percent identity between the two sequences can be determined using techniques similar to those described above, with or without gaps. When calculating percent identity, only exact matches are typically calculated.
[0287] As used herein, the term "free targeted covalent inhibitor" or "free drug" refers to a targeted covalent inhibitor that is not covalently attached to a protein or peptide. Once the targeted covalent inhibitor is covalently attached to a protein or peptide, the targeted covalent inhibitor may be referred to as a portion or fragment of the free targeted covalent inhibitor or drug. For example, a protein or fragment thereof may be a chemical fragment that binds to a cysteine residue of a peptide after a covalent reaction between the free drug and the cysteine residue of the peptide. As used herein, the term "KRAS G12C " refers to a KRAS protein with a G12C mutation (UniProt accession number P01116), i.e., a cysteine residue at amino acid position 12. As used herein, the term "KRAS G12D " refers to a KRAS protein with a G12D mutation (UniProt accession number P01116), i.e., aspartic acid at amino acid position 12. As used herein, the term "KRAS G12R " refers to a KRAS protein with a G12R mutation (UniProt accession number P01116), i.e., an arginine at amino acid position 12. As used herein, the term "KRAS G12S ” refers to the KRAS protein with the G12S mutation (UniProt accession number P01116), i.e., serine at amino acid position 12.
[0288] In some embodiments, when covalently bound to a peptide conjugate, the binding partner preferentially binds to a protein or peptide or a complex comprising a protein or peptide relative to the same protein or peptide not bound to the drug. Thus, in the absence of a covalently linked molecule, the binding partner described herein does not detectably bind or binds to the same protein or fragment thereof with lower affinity. In some embodiments, the affinity of the binding partner to a protein or peptide comprising a covalently linked drug is 10-10,000 times, including all numbers and ranges between 10-10,000, of the affinity for a protein or peptide that does not comprise a covalently linked molecule. In this regard, and without intending to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the presence of a covalently linked molecule contributes to the epitope to which the binding partner specifically binds. Similarly, relative to binding to free drug, the binding partner of the present disclosure preferentially binds to the peptide conjugate. In some embodiments, the binding partner binds to a peptide comprising a covalently linked drug (e.g., a peptide conjugate / MHC complex) with an affinity that is 10-10,000 times greater than the affinity for the free drug, including all numbers and ranges therebetween. In some embodiments, the interaction between the binding partner and the peptide conjugate / MHC complex is not inhibited by the free drug. For example, the interaction between the binding partner and the peptide conjugate / MHC complex is not inhibited by 100x, 1,000x, 10,000x, 100,000x, or more excesses of the free drug.
[0289] In some embodiments, the molecule covalently bound to form a peptide conjugate is a drug and can be any targeted covalent inhibitor (TCI), but a covalent drug does not necessarily inhibit the target peptide. In some embodiments, the molecule reacts with a specific residue within the target protein. In some embodiments, the molecule reacts at least partially with a protein or peptide fragment comprising a nucleophilic residue or an electrophilic residue. In some embodiments, the fragment of the protein or peptide to which the molecule reacts comprises any one of Cys, Lys, Tyr, His, Ser, Thr, or Arg, the latter being described in Ziyang Zhang, Johannes Morstein, Andrew K. Ecker, Keelan Z. Guiley, and Kevan M. Shokat Journal of the American Chemical Society Article ASAP, DOI: 10.1021 / jacs.2c05377, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, the protein or peptide comprises selenocysteine. In some embodiments, the targeted covalent inhibitor reacts with selenocysteine. In some embodiments, the molecule reacts at least partially with a fragment of a protein or peptide comprising a wild-type Cys or a residue mutated to Cys and can thus be covalently linked via a so-called sulfur tether. In embodiments, the drug is any of the drugs described in Ghosh AK, Samanta I, Mondal A, Liu WR. Covalent Inhibition in Drug Discovery. ChemMedChem. 2019; 14(9): 889-906. doi: 10.1002 / cmdc.201900107 or DeCesco, et al., European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 138(2017)96e114, or Bauer, RA, Drug Discovery Today, Volume 20, Number 9, September 2015, wherein the disclosure of compounds that covalently modify protein targets is incorporated herein by reference.
[0290] In non-limiting embodiments, any of the Cys, Lys, Tyr, Ser, Thr, Arg, and His amino acids are present in the protein or peptide to which the molecule binds because the gene encoding the wild-type protein has mutated to encode a protein comprising one or a combination of said residues. In non-limiting embodiments, the molecule binds to a protein or peptide associated with a disease or condition (e.g., cancer, autoimmune disease, or other disease or disorder treated with a targeted covalent inhibitor). In some embodiments, the target (e.g., the protein or peptide to which the molecule covalently binds) is a receptor, including but not necessarily limited to any receptor having a catalytically active fragment. In some embodiments, the drug binds to an enzyme that is not necessarily a receptor, including but not limited to any kinase. In some embodiments, the protein target includes a receptor with one or more activating mutations that promotes ligand-independent enzymatic activity.

[0298] The R1 of the C-R1 chemical structure of the covalent inhibitor can be any of the structures shown below.
[0299]
[0300] Targeted covalent inhibitors with a structure comprising C-RI can form covalent bonds with multiple different amino acid residues on a peptide. For example, a targeted covalent inhibitor can form a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in a peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of VVVGACGVGK, VVGACGVGK or KLVVVGACGV. In other embodiments, the targeted covalent inhibitor can form a covalent bond with an aspartic acid residue, a serine residue or an arginine residue in a peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of VVVGADGVGK, VVGADGVGK or KLVVVGADGV. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding domain of the polypeptide recognizes the C portion of the targeted covalent inhibitor with a structure comprising C-R1 of a peptide conjugate / MHC complex. In certain other embodiments, the antigen-binding domain of the polypeptide recognizes the C portion of the targeted covalent inhibitor of the peptide conjugate / MHC complex but does not recognize the R1 portion.
[0301] Small molecules with electrophilic warhead groups (e.g., targeted covalent inhibitors) can covalently react with cysteine residues of peptides to form peptide-small molecule conjugates. This type of reaction is illustrated in the following scheme for AMG-510 (sotolacibin).
[0302]

[0390] In one embodiment, the binding partner may comprise a VH and / or VL amino acid sequence having at least about 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 100% sequence identity to the VH and / or VL amino acid sequence of an antibody disclosed in Table I and Table J.
[0391] A non-limiting example of a binding partner that binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-osimertinib conjugate is referred to herein as OEA2-5. The present disclosure includes all derivatives of OEA2-5 described herein, including the substituted residues described below in scDb format by deep mutational analysis, and provides their representative amino acid sequences.
[0392] The light chain variable region (V L ) and heavy chain variable region (V H ) has an amino acid sequence of:
[0393]
[0394] In some embodiments, the binding partner binds to the native form of the protein (except for the drug or other molecule covalently linked thereto). "Native form" refers to a complete protein that retains its biological function before the drug or other molecule is covalently linked. In some embodiments, the native form of a protein is its form before being fragmented, for example, by intracellular processing. In some embodiments, the binding protein is therefore bound to a full-length polypeptide covalently linked to a drug or other molecule, wherein the covalently bound drug or other molecule at least partially allows preferential binding of the binding partner. Generally speaking, a polypeptide (which is used interchangeably with the term "protein" in this article) comprises more than 50 consecutive amino acids. In some embodiments, the binding partner specifically binds to the complete protein covalently linked to a drug or other molecule. In other embodiments, the binding partner specifically binds to a peptide comprising a covalently bound molecule. In some embodiments, the binding partner specifically binds to a peptide having a specific amino acid sequence and is covalently conjugated to another molecule (e.g., a drug). In some embodiments, the binding partner preferentially binds to a peptide covalently bound to a molecule (e.g., a drug), wherein the sequence of the peptide is unrelated. This preferential binding is relative to the binding of the same peptide not conjugated to the drug. In some embodiments, the binding partner preferentially binds to a peptide comprising a KRAS(G12) mutation or a variant thereof, wherein the variant is at least 50% similar to the KRAS(G12)-containing peptide. This preferential binding is relative to binding to a KRAS(G12)-containing peptide or variant thereof that is not covalently conjugated to a drug or other molecule.
[0395] In some embodiments, the binding partner specifically binds to a peptide conjugate of appropriate length for presentation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which in humans is known as human leukocyte antigen (HLA), or in non-human animals (including non-human mammals) as MHC or its equivalent complex.
[0396] In general, peptide conjugates contain less than 50 consecutive amino acids. Thus, in some embodiments, the length of the peptide conjugate comprising the epitope may be 2-49 amino acids. In some embodiments, the peptide covalently linked to the drug or other molecule and the one or more residues of the linked drug and peptide may be composed of an epitope comprising 4-12 consecutive amino acids, which may or may not come from a longer protein during protein processing, such as processing for antigens presented by MHC molecules. In some embodiments, the drug is conjugated to a peptide comprising or consisting of 7-30 amino acids. In some embodiments, the drug or other molecule is conjugated to a peptide comprising or consisting of 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 amino acids and can be presented in the context of MHC class I. In some embodiments, the drug or other molecule is conjugated to a peptide having 9-30 amino acids (including the end values and all values and ranges therebetween) and can be presented in the context of MHC class II. In some embodiments, the drug or other molecule is conjugated to a peptide comprising at least 7 amino acids. Non-classical MHC class I molecules are used to mediate inhibitory or activating stimulation in natural killer (NK) cells. Non-classical MHC class I molecules can be expressed by immune cells and tumor cells. For example, the expression of non-classical MHC complexes on malignant cells can hinder the cytotoxic activity of effector cells in the immune system. Overexpression of non-classical MHC class I molecules (including but not limited to HLA-E, HLA-F and HLA-G) can be found in cancer cells. In some embodiments, drugs or other molecules are conjugated to peptides with 9-30 amino acids (including end values, and including all numerical values and numerical ranges therebetween) and that can be presented in the context of non-classical MHC class I. In some embodiments, peptide conjugates form complexes with non-classical MHC class I molecules. In some embodiments, non-classical MHC class I molecules are selected from the group consisting of HLA-E, HLA-F and HLA-G. In some embodiments, non-classical MHC class I molecules are selected from HLA-E, HLA-F, HLA-G or a certain combination thereof.
[0397] In some embodiments, the binding partner specifically binds to a peptide conjugate covalently conjugated to a drug or other molecule independent of MHC presentation. In some embodiments, non-limiting examples of which are described in Example 3 below, the binding partner specifically binds to the peptide conjugate only when the peptide conjugate is presented by an MHC molecule. In some embodiments, the binding partner can specifically bind to the peptide conjugate in both MHC-independent and MHC-presentation contexts. In some embodiments, the MHC-peptide conjugate complex comprises the antigen to which the binding partner specifically binds.
[0398] In some embodiments, the binding partner exhibits at least one improved property relative to the same property of a reference binding partner. In some embodiments, the reference binding partner is AMRA3-7D. In one embodiment, the binding partner exhibits greater affinity for its target relative to the reference binding partner.
[0399] In some embodiments, the binding partner can thus bind to cells via any MHC capable of presenting the peptide conjugate. In some embodiments, the HLA is expressed by cells capable of class I, class II, or class III MHC presentation. In some embodiments, the binding partner can bind to cells expressing class I MHC that present the peptide conjugate. Those skilled in the art will recognize that class I MHC includes components such as polymorphic α chains and β2 microglobulin, wherein the peptide conjugate binds to the polymorphic chain.
[0400] In some embodiments, the cell is an antigen presenting cell (APC). In some embodiments, the cell is a so-called professional antigen presenting cell, and thus may include but is not limited to macrophages and dendritic cells, which display class II MHC. Those skilled in the art will recognize that class II MHC includes components such as MHC polymorphic α and β chains, and that the displayed peptide conjugate is bound to both chains. In other embodiments, class II MHC may be displayed together with the peptide conjugate by other cell types (e.g., cancer / tumor cells), and thus the present disclosure provides for the use of the binding partner to directly identify such cells without the need for professional APC.
[0401] In some embodiments, the peptide conjugate is displayed by a non-classical MHC complex, which may include CDld, MRl, MHC-E, MHC-F, MHC-G, and / or other emerging family members that will be recognized by those skilled in the art.
[0402] The present disclosure includes binding partners that specifically bind to peptide conjugates displayed only by a particular MHC class, thereby providing binding partners that discriminate between MHC classes. Representative examples of such binding partners are described herein at least by FIG. 17 .
[0403] In some embodiments, the binding partners of the present disclosure can specifically bind to peptide conjugates comprising a covalently conjugated drug or other molecule that are displayed by more than one specific MHC type. In some embodiments, a single binding partner of the present disclosure is applicable to multiple HLA types. In addition, a single binding partner can specifically bind to multiple combinations of (a) peptide conjugates comprising a covalently conjugated drug or other molecule and (b) HLA types, for example, by Figure 35 and Figure 36 In particular, Figure 35 and Figure 36This demonstrates that a single antibody can bind to different peptides conjugated to AMG-510 presented by different HLAs with different peptide binding preferences. For example, comparing the HLA-A*03 / 11 peptides VVVGAC*GVGK and KLVVVGAC*GV, the results demonstrate that antibody RA_D11 still selectively binds to the hapten-peptide-HLA complex relative to binding to the free drug. In some embodiments, the binding partners of the present disclosure can specifically bind to a peptide conjugate comprising a covalently conjugated drug only in a specific MHC context. In some embodiments, the peptide conjugate is displayed by an MHC class I type selected from HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and combinations thereof. In certain aspects, the peptide conjugate is displayed in any MHC class I context of A*02 / B*35 / C*04. In some embodiments, the peptide conjugate is displayed by any MHC class II of DR*01 / DR*04 / DR*07 / DP*04. In some embodiments, HLA comprises A*01:01, A*02:01, A*03:01, A*11:01, A*24:02, A*26:01, B*07:02, B*08:01, B*27:05, B*39:01, B*40:01, B*58:01, or B*15:01. Specific examples of antibodies include antibodies that bind to KRAS(G12C)-AMG510 conjugates presented on HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*03:01, and HLA-A*11:01, BTK-ibrutinib conjugates presented on HLA-A*01:01, and EGFR-osimertinib conjugates presented on HLA-A*02:01. In non-limiting embodiments, the present disclosure provides scDbs specific for a particular drug covalently bound to a peptide presented on a particular HLA, or the same drug covalently bound to a peptide presented on two different HLAs. Representative scDbs are described in Example 4. Data obtained using scDbs are presented in Figures 18 and 19. Data obtained using the CrossMa format are provided in Example 5 and its accompanying figures.
[0404] In some embodiments, the present disclosure includes selecting an individual based on the individual's HLA type and selecting an antibody described herein for use in treating the individual. In some embodiments, the selection of a binding partner is based at least in part on the degree of HLA restriction exhibited by the selected binding partner relative to the individual's HLA type.
[0405] In certain embodiments, such as KRAS(G12C) binding partners, representative examples of which bind two different KRAS(G12C)-derived peptides conjugated to a drug (AMG-510, also known as sotolacilib) are provided below.
[0406] In some embodiments, the peptide conjugates are displayed by cells participating in a cell-mediated immune response or by cells that can become targets of a cell-mediated immune response. In some embodiments, the peptide conjugates displayed in any suitable MHC background are presented by cells recognized by leukocytes, including but not necessarily limited to T cells or natural killer (NK) cells. In some embodiments, T cells are CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, double positive CD4+ / CD8+T cells, CD4+ / CD8+ double negative T cells or γδT cells. Therefore, and as further described below, the present disclosure provides binding partners, which are configured to interact with both the peptide conjugates presented and the cells participating in a cell-mediated immune response. In some embodiments, some of the binding partners are capable of binding to a complex of 1) specific MHC and 2) specific peptide conjugates. In some embodiments, some of the binding partners are capable of binding to a specific peptide conjugate presented by at least two different MHCs.
[0407] In some embodiments, any binding partner of the present disclosure comprises at least one chain, and this chain comprises complementary determining region (CDR), and this complementary determining region (CDR) is CDR1, CDR2 or CDR3 from any heavy chain or light chain amino acid sequence described herein.In certain examples of this specification, CDR is shown in bold.The present disclosure covers the amino acid sequence of CDR sequence respectively by its position in the heavy chain and light chain amino acid sequence.The present disclosure includes the binding partner comprising the heavy chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3.The present disclosure also includes the binding partner comprising the light chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3.The present disclosure also includes the binding partner comprising the heavy chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and the light chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3.For the amino acid sequence of the present disclosure, it includes the amino acid comprising purification tag or protein production tag (such as HIS tag and / or AVI tag), and the present disclosure includes the following conditions: the sequence of the tag can be excluded from the amino acid sequence.

In some embodiments, one or more binding partners are provided as components of a bispecific T cell engaging antibody (BiTE), a bispecific killer cell engaging antibody (BiKE), a CrossMab (e.g., a binding partner comprising four different chains; immunoglobulin crossover (also known as Fab domain exchange or CrossMab format) technology (see, e.g., WO 2009 / 080253; Schaefer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 108: 11187-11192 (2011)), or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), e.g., for the generation of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (e.g., CAR T cells) and CAR natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. The present disclosure includes binding partners comprising the heavy and light chain variable regions.
[0409] The binding partner of the present disclosure can be a scFv. In the present disclosure, the VH of the polypeptide can be connected to the VL by a linker. The linker can be a peptide linker composed of amino acids such as glycine and / or serine residues used alone or in combination to connect the variable heavy chain region and the variable light chain region together. In one embodiment, the flexible polypeptide linker is a Gly / Ser linker and comprises the amino acid sequence (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)n, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1.

[0411] The binding partner may comprise a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a T cell surface marker. The binding partner may comprise two polypeptide chains. For example, the polypeptide may comprise a first polypeptide chain comprising a first antigen-binding domain and a second polypeptide chain comprising a second antigen-binding domain. In some cases, the two polypeptide chains may comprise an Fc region. The binding partner of the present disclosure may be a bispecific or multivalent antibody or antibody fragment comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a T cell surface marker. In some embodiments, the bispecific or multivalent molecule may comprise an Fc region of a heavy chain constant region selected from human IgM, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The Fc region may be a modified version of a wild-type Fc region. For example, the Fc region may be a silent version of the Fc region, including but not limited to LALA Fc, LALAPGFc, LALAKA Fc, LAGA Fc, LGGR Fc, or LALE Fc. The Fc region may comprise one or more mutations of the wild-type Fc region. The Fc region may be connected to one or more tumor targeting moieties, T cell engaging antibodies or cytokine molecules. In some embodiments, the interface of the first Fc region and the second Fc region may be altered to increase or decrease dimerization. The dimerization of the Fc region may be enhanced by providing paired cavity protrusions (e.g., knob-in-hole) to the Fc interface of the first Fc region and the second Fc region. The knob-in-hole described in US5,731,116, US7,476,724 and Ridgway, J. et al. (1996) Prot.Engineering 9(7):617-621 generally involves: (1) mutating the CH3 domains of one or two antibodies to promote heterodimerization; and (2) combining the mutated antibodies under conditions that promote heterodimerization. "Knobs" or "protrusions" can be generated by replacing small amino acids (e.g., T366Y or T366W) in the parent antibody with larger amino acids. " Nest " or " hole " is produced by replacing the larger residue (such as Y407T, T366S, L368A and / or Y407V) in the parent antibody with smaller amino acids. Exemplary ball-and-socket mutations include S354C or T366W in the " ball " heavy chain and Y349C, T366S, L368A or Y407V in the " nest " heavy chain. For bispecific antibodies including Fc domains, specific mutations can be introduced into the constant region of the heavy chain to promote the correct heterodimerization of the Fc portion. These techniques include the ball-and-socket method, which involves introducing a large residue into one of the CH3 domains of one of the antibody heavy chains. The large residue can be inserted into the complementary " nest " of another CH3 domain of the pairing heavy chain, thereby promoting the correct pairing of the heavy chain (see, e.g., US7642228).In some cases, two polypeptide chains can be combined using the ball-and-socket method as described herein. In some cases, two polypeptide chains cannot be combined using the ball-and-socket method.

The linker can include (G4S) n or (S4G) n , where n is any integer between 1 and 10.
[0414] In various cases, the linker connecting the antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain of the polypeptide can affect the angle between the axis of the MHC and the axis of the polypeptide.
[0415] The binding geometry of TCR to peptide-MHC complex can be used as a descriptor of binding affinity. The diagonal binding of TCR to MHC complex can be quantified using the cross angle, such as the angle between the vector between the MHC pocket and the TCR domain. This angle corresponds to the distortion of the receptor on the peptide-MHC complex. The angle of incidence refers to the angle between the normal vector of the MHC peptide binding groove and the rotation axis between the TCR domains. This angle corresponds to the tilt of the TCR on the peptide-MHC complex and is usually measured along the XY axis. The binding geometry between the MHC complex and the polypeptide disclosed herein can be similarly measured, and methods for quantifying these binding geometries are known to those skilled in the art (Rudolph et al. How TCRs bind MHCs, peptides, and coreceptors. Annu Rev Immunol. 2006; 24: 419-66; Singh et al. Geometrical characterization of T cell receptor binding modes reveals class-specific binding to maximize access to antigen. Proteins. 2020 Mar; 88 (3): 503-513).
[0416] The binding geometry between the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and the binding partner can be characterized using the angle of incidence measured along the XY axis and / or the back angle measured along the YZ axis.

[0417] In some embodiments, the polypeptide can bind to the peptide conjugate / MHC complex at an angle of incidence between the axis of the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and the axis of the polypeptide of about 10° to 100° (e.g., about 10°, about 20°, about 30°, about 40°, about 50°, about 60°, about 70°, about 80°, about 90°, or about 100°). In some embodiments, the polypeptide can bind to the peptide conjugate / MHC complex at an angle of incidence between the axis of the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and the axis of the polypeptide of 70° to 80°. In some embodiments, the polypeptide can bind to the peptide conjugate / MHC complex at an angle of incidence between the axis of the peptide conjugate / MHC complex and the axis of the polypeptide of about 77.2°, 77.3°, or 78.4°.
