[0004] Sterile filtration is typically performed at the end of large biological molecule (protein, monoclonal antibody, viral vector) processing to remove bioburden and produce sterile drug substance. Many sterile filters are available commercially, with variations in pore size, material of construction, surface charge of the membrane, pore morphology, and filter membrane format. Any of the variables could affect recovery of the product of interest across the filter. Loss of product across sterile filtration has been reported for viruses due to physical retention of the product, related to either size and / or charge. Investigation of sterile filter types and feed concentration to maximize recovery of a particular product of interest have been reported. The present invention addressed these needs and others.

[0025] Generally, nomenclature used in connection with cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, genetics and protein and nucleic acid chemistry and hybridization described herein is well-known and commonly used in the art. The methods and techniques provided herein are generally performed according to conventional methods well known in the art and as described in various general and more specific references that are cited and discussed throughout the present specification unless otherwise indicated. -3- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT Enzymatic reactions are performed according to manufacturer’s specifications, as commonly accomplished in the art or as described herein. The nomenclatures used in connection with, and the laboratory procedures and techniques of, analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry described herein are those well-known and commonly used in the art.
[0026] That the disclosure may be more readily understood, select terms are defined below.
[0027] As used herein, the terms “a” or “an” means that “at least one” or “one or more” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0028] As used herein, the term “about” means that the numerical value is approximate and small variations would not significantly affect the practice of the disclosed embodiments. Where a numerical limitation is used, unless indicated otherwise by the context, “about” means the numerical value can vary by ±10% and remain within the scope of the disclosed embodiments. Additionally, where a phrase recites “about x to y,” the term “about” modifies both x and y and can be used interchangeably with the phrase “about x to about y” unless context dictates differently.
[0029] As used herein, the term “individual” or “subject,” or “patient” used interchangeably, means any animal, including mammals, such as mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, or primates, such as humans.
[0030] As used herein, the terms “comprising” (and any form of comprising, such as “comprise”, “comprises”, and “comprised”), “having” (and any form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of including, such as “includes” and “include”), or “containing” (and any form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”), are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. Any step or composition that uses the transitional phrase of “comprise” or “comprising” can also be said to describe the same with the transitional phase of “consisting of” or “consists.”
[0031] As used herein, the term “pre-flushed” or “pre-coated”, or any variation of these terms such as “pre-flushing” or “pre-coating” describes a filter, wherein a solution has been passed through the filter before the filter is used with a viral vector solution.
[0032] As used herein, the phrase “viral vector recovery” is defined as the amount of viral vector post-filtration compared to the amount of viral vector pre-filtration expressed as a percentage.
[0033] As used herein, the phrase “purified viral vector” is defined as viral vector which has been purified from cell culture harvest using at least one chromatography step. -4- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0034] As used herein, “non-concentrated” viral vector is a viral vector in a solution that has not undergone a concentration step during its production. As used herein, a “non- concentrated” viral vector does not have a limit on the concentration of viral particles therein, but rather, unless explicitly state otherwise, solely denotes whether a solution comprising a viral vector has undergone a concentration step or not.
[0035] As used herein, the term “contacting” means bringing together of two elements in an in vitro system or an in vivo system. For example, “contacting” virus or vector described herein with an individual or patient or cell includes the administration of the virus to an individual or patient, such as a human, as well as, for example, introducing a compound into a sample containing a cellular or purified preparation containing the cell.
[0036] As used herein, the term “fused” or “linked” when used in reference to a protein having different domains or heterologous sequences means that the protein domains are part of the same peptide chain that are connected to one another with either peptide bonds or other covalent bonding. The domains or section can be linked or fused directly to one another or another domain or peptide sequence can be between the two domains or sequences and such sequences would still be considered to be fused or linked to one another. In some embodiments, the various domains or proteins provided for herein are linked or fused directly to one another or a linker sequences, such as the glycine / serine sequences described herein link the two domains together.
[0037] A “disease” in an animal is a state of health wherein the animal cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the animal’s health continues to deteriorate. In contrast, a “disorder” in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal’s state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal’s state of health.
[0038] “Effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” are used interchangeably herein, and refer to an amount of a compound, formulation, material, or composition, as described herein effective to achieve a particular biological result or provides a therapeutic or prophylactic benefit. Such results may include, but are not limited to an amount that when administered to a mammal, causes a detectable level of immune cell activation compared to the immune cell activation detected in the absence of the composition. The immune response can be readily assessed by a plethora of art-recognized methods. The skilled artisan would understand that the amount of the composition administered herein varies and can be readily determined based on a number of factors such as the disease or condition being -5- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT treated, the age and health and physical condition of the mammal being treated, the severity of the disease, the particular compound being administered, and the like.
[0039] “Encoding” refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (i.e., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom. Thus, a gene encodes a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system. Both the coding strand, the nucleotide sequence of which is identical to the mRNA sequence and is usually provided in sequence listings, and the non-coding strand, used as the template for transcription of a gene or cDNA, can be referred to as encoding the protein or other product of that gene or cDNA.
[0040] “Expression vector” refers to a vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide comprising expression control sequences operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence to be expressed. An expression vector comprises sufficient cis-acting elements for expression; other elements for expression can be supplied by the host cell or in an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, such as cosmids, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes) and viruses (e.g., Sendai viruses, lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses) that incorporate the recombinant polynucleotide.
[0041] As used herein, the phrase “ex vivo” in reference to a cell being transduced, transfected or transformed ex vivo, refers to a cell being transduced, transfected or transformed outside of the subject, that is with the cells being removed from the subject before such cells are transduced, transfected or transformed.
[0042] As used herein, “filter” refers to any substance through which a solution or composition is passed to remove portions (e.g.) of the solution or composition. Therefore, “filter” is not meant to be limited to a membrane filter, but also includes any substance of any thickness through with the solution or composition is passed. Accordingly, the term “filter” may include, but not be limited to, membranes, such as PES, nylon, or PVDF membranes; membrane chromatography units such as Sartobind Q, Mustang Q, and the like; or stationary phases such as an ion exchange stationary phase (e.g. cross linked polymer resin such as divinylbenzene cross-linked polystyrene), affinity stationary phase (e.g. nickel resin, streptavidin resin, glutathione conjugated resin, protein A or protein G conjugated resin, and the like), hydrophobic stationary phase (e.g. silica resin bonded with butyl, phenyl, ether, amide, or propyl ligands), size exclusion stationary phase (e.g. silica resin with appropriate -6- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT diameter and pore size), or any combination thereof (i.e. multimodal chromatography). In some embodiments, the “filter” is a resin, such as a chromatography resin as provided for herein. Similarly, the term “chromatographic filter” refers to any substance that may be used for chromatographic separation of a solution or composition. Therefore, “chromatographic filter” is not meant to be limited to a membrane filter, but also includes any substance of any thickness through with the solution or composition is passed. Accordingly, the term “chromatographic filter” may include, but not be limited to, membranes, such as PES, nylon, or PVDF membranes; membrane chromatography units such as Sartobind Q, Mustang Q, and the like; or stationary phases such as an ion exchange stationary phase (e.g. cross linked polymer resin such as divinylbenzene cross-linked polystyrene), affinity stationary phase (e.g. nickel resin, streptavidin resin, glutathione conjugated resin, protein A or protein G conjugated resin, and the like), hydrophobic stationary phase (e.g. silica resin bonded with butyl, phenyl, ether, amide, or propyl ligands), size exclusion stationary phase (e.g. silica resin with appropriate diameter and pore size), or any combination thereof (i.e. multimodal chromatography).
[0043] “Identity” as used herein refers to the subunit sequence identity between two polymeric molecules such as between two nucleic acid or amino acid molecules, such as, between two polynucleotide or polypeptide molecules. When two amino acid sequences have the same residues at the same positions; e.g., if a position in each of two polypeptide molecules is occupied by an Arginine, then they are identical at that position. The identity or extent to which two amino acid or two nucleic acid sequences have the same residues at the same positions in an alignment is often expressed as a percentage. The identity between two amino acid or two nucleic acid sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or identical positions; e.g., if half of the positions in two sequences are identical, the two sequences are 50% identical; if 90% of the positions (e.g., 9 of 10), are matched or identical, the two amino acids sequences are 90% identical.
[0044] By "substantially identical" is meant a polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule exhibiting at least 50% identity to a reference amino acid sequence (for example, any one of the amino acid sequences described herein) or nucleic acid sequence (for example, any one of the nucleic acid sequences described herein). In some embodiments, such a sequence is at least 60%, 80% or 85%, or 90%, 95% or even 99% identical at the amino acid level or nucleic acid to the sequence used for comparison. Other percentages of identity in reference to specific sequences are described herein. -7- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0045] Sequence identity can be measured / determined using sequence analysis software (for example, Sequence Analysis Software Package of the Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center, 1710 University Avenue, Madison, Wis. 53705, BLAST, BESTFIT, GAP, or PILEUP / PRETTYBOX programs). Such software matches identical or similar sequences by assigning degrees of homology to various substitutions, deletions, and / or other modifications. Conservative substitutions typically include substitutions within the following groups: glycine, alanine; valine, isoleucine, leucine; aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine; serine, threonine; lysine, arginine; and phenylalanine, tyrosine. In an exemplary approach to determining the degree of identity, a BLAST program may be used, with a probability score between e3 and e100 indicating a closely related sequence. In some embodiments, sequence identity is determined by using BLAST with the default settings.
[0046] To the extent embodiments provided for herein, include compositions comprising various proteins, these proteins may, in some instances, comprise amino acid sequences that have sequence identity to the amino acid sequences disclosed herein. Therefore, in certain embodiments, depending on the particular sequence, the degree of sequence identity is preferably greater than 50% (e.g.60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more) to the SEQ ID NOs disclosed herein. In addition to these percentages, other percentages of identity are provided for herein. Identity between polypeptides can be determined by the Smith-Waterman homology search algorithm as implemented in the MPSRCH program (Oxford Molecular), using an affine gap search with parameters gap open penalty – 12 and gap extension penalty = 1. These proteins may, compared to the disclosed proteins, include one or more (e.g.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.) conservative amino acid replacements i.e. replacements of one amino acid with another which has a related side chain. Genetically-encoded amino acids are generally divided into four families: (1) acidic i.e. aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic i.e. lysine, arginine, histidine; (3) non polar i.e. alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan; and (4) uncharged polar i.e. glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, tyrosine. Phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine are sometimes classified jointly as aromatic amino acids. In general, Substitution of single amino acids within these families does not have a major effect on the biological activity. The proteins may have one or more (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.) single amino acid deletions relative to the disclosed protein sequences. The proteins may also include one or more (e.g.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.) insertions (e.g. each of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 amino acids) relative to the disclosed protein sequences. -8- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0047] As used herein, the phrase “in vivo” in reference to a cell being transduced, transfected or transformed in vivo, refers to a cell being transduced, transfected or transformed in the subject without the cells being removed from the subject before such cells are transduced, transfected or transformed.
[0048] “Isolated” means altered or removed from the natural state. For example, a nucleic acid or a peptide naturally present in a living animal is not “isolated,” but the same nucleic acid or peptide partially or completely separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is “isolated.” An isolated nucleic acid or protein can exist in substantially purified form, or can exist in a non-native environment such as, for example, a host cell.
[0049] A “lentivirus” as used herein refers to a genus of the Retroviridae family that is able to infect non-dividing cells. Non-limiting examples of lentiviruses are HIV, SIV, and FIV. Vectors or viral-like particles derived from lentiviruses can be used to transduce cells and deliver genes or other molecules and have them expressed in a cell either in vitro, ex-vivo, or in vivo.
[0050] By the term “modified” as used herein, is meant a changed state or structure of a molecule or cell as provided herein. Molecules may be modified in many ways, including chemically, structurally, and functionally, such as mutations, substitutions, insertions, or deletions (e.g. internal deletions truncations). Cells may be modified through the introduction of nucleic acids or the expression of heterologous proteins.
[0051] By the term “modulating,” as used herein, is meant mediating an increase or decrease in the level of a response in a subject compared with the level of a response in the subject in the absence of a treatment or compound, and / or compared with the level of a response in an otherwise identical but untreated subject. The term encompasses perturbing and / or affecting a native signal or response thereby mediating a beneficial therapeutic response in a subject, such as, a human.
[0052] Unless otherwise specified, a “nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence” includes all nucleotide sequences that are degenerate versions of each other and that encode the same amino acid sequence. The phrase nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein or an RNA may also include introns to the extent that the nucleotide sequence encoding the protein may in some version contain an intron(s).
[0053] The term “oligonucleotide” typically refers to short polynucleotides. It will be understood that when a nucleotide sequence is represented by a DNA sequence (i.e., A, T, C, G), this also provides the corresponding RNA sequence (i.e., A, U, C, G) in which “U” replaces “T.” -9- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0054] “Parenteral” administration of a composition includes, e.g., subcutaneous (s.c.), intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), or intrasternal injection, intrathecal, or infusion techniques.
[0055] The term “polynucleotide” as used herein is defined as a chain of nucleotides. Furthermore, nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Thus, the terms “nucleic acids” and “polynucleotides” as used herein are interchangeable. As used herein polynucleotides include, but are not limited to, all nucleic acid sequences which are obtained by any methods available in the art, including, without limitation, recombinant methods, i.e., the cloning of nucleic acid sequences from a recombinant library or a cell genome, using cloning technology and PCR, and the like, and by synthetic means.
[0056] As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably, and refer to a compound comprised of a plurality of amino acid residues covalently linked by peptide bonds. As used herein, the term refers to both short chains, which also commonly are referred to in the art as peptides, oligopeptides and oligomers, for example, and to longer chains, which generally are referred to in the art as proteins, of which there are many types. “Polypeptides” include, for example, biologically active fragments, substantially homologous polypeptides, oligopeptides, homodimers, heterodimers, variants of polypeptides, modified polypeptides, derivatives, analogs, fusion proteins, among others. The polypeptides include natural peptides, recombinant peptides, synthetic peptides, or a combination thereof.
[0057] The term “pseudotyped” or “pseudotyped viral particle”, as used herein, refers to a viral particle bearing glycoproteins derived from other viruses having envelopes or a viral vector encoding envelope glycoproteins from a virus that is different from the parental virus. The host range of the vector particles can thus be expanded or altered depending on the type of cell surface receptor used by the glycoprotein. For example, a virus can be pseudotyped with a VSV-G mutant protein as provided for herein.
[0058] By the term “specifically binds,” as used herein with respect to an antibody, is meant an antibody which recognizes a specific antigen, but does not substantially recognize or bind other molecules in a sample. For example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen from one species may also bind to that antigen from one or more species. But, such cross- species reactivity does not itself alter the classification of an antibody as specific. In another example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen may also bind to different allelic forms of the antigen. However, such cross reactivity does not itself alter the classification of an antibody as specific. In some instances, the terms “specific binding” or “specifically binding,” can be used in reference to the interaction of an antibody, a protein, or a peptide with -10- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT a second chemical species, to mean that the interaction is dependent upon the presence of a particular structure (e.g., an antigenic determinant or epitope) on the chemical species; for example, an antibody recognizes and binds to a specific protein structure rather than to proteins generally. If an antibody is specific for epitope “A”, the presence of a molecule containing epitope A (or free, unlabeled A), in a reaction containing labeled “A” and the antibody, will reduce the amount of labeled A bound to the antibody. In some embodiments, the targeting moieties described herein that can be used to target the viral particles comprising the mutant VSV-G protein, or other viral structural proteins used to pseudotype a virus, can specifically bind to their target.
[0059] The term “therapeutic” as used herein means a treatment and / or prophylaxis. A therapeutic effect is obtained by suppression, remission, or eradication of a disease state.
[0060] The term “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” as used herein refers to a process by which exogenous nucleic acid is transferred or introduced into a cell. A “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” cell is one which has been transfected, transformed or transduced with exogenous nucleic acid. The cell includes the primary subject cell and its progeny. In some embodiments, the transfection, transformation, or transduction is performed or occurs in vivo.
[0061] A “vector” is a composition of matter which comprises an isolated nucleic acid encoding a protein or a peptide. Numerous vectors are known in the art including, but not limited to, linear polynucleotides, plasmids, DNA, and RNA. Examples of viral vectors include, but are not limited to, Sendai viral vectors, adenoviral vectors, adeno-associated virus vectors, retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, and the like.
[0062] A “carrier” or “delivery vehicle” includes viral particles, viruses, polylysine compounds, and liposomes, which facilitate transfer of nucleic acid into cells. A carrier or delivery vehicle can also be used to deliver a protein or peptide to a cell.
[0063] Ranges: throughout this disclosure, various aspects of the embodiments can be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 2.7, 3, 4, 5, 5.3, and 6. -11- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT This applies regardless of the breadth of the range. Unless otherwise explicitly stated to the contrary, a range that is disclosed also includes the endpoints of the range.
[0064] Without being bound to any particular theory, standard viral purification techniques tend to result in a loss of viral product during filtration. This is especially the case when the viral product is concentrated prior to sterile filtration, as is standard practice. Passing a pre-flush protein solution through the sterile filter prior to filtration of the viral product results in increased viral yields, possibly due to the protein solution preventing the viral product from becoming trapped in the filter due to charge interactions. Further, performing sterile filtration prior to concentrating the viral product was also found to increase product yields. Methods of Purifying Viral Vectors and / or Producing Concentrated Sterilized Solutions Comprising Viral Vectors
[0065] In some embodiments, methods of purifying a viral vector or producing a concentrated sterilized solution comprising a viral vector are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise clarifying a solution comprising cell culture media and the viral vector; filtering the clarified solution comprising the viral vector through a first chromatographic filter to produce a filtered clarified solution comprising the viral vector; passing the filtered clarified solution comprising the viral vector through a protein-coated sterile membrane to produce a sterilized solution comprising the viral vector; and concentrating the sterilized solution comprising the viral vector to produce a concentrated sterilized solution comprising the viral vector.
[0066] In some embodiments, the methods comprise clarifying a solution comprising cell culture media and the viral vector; filtering the clarified solution comprising the viral vector through a first chromatographic filter to produce a filtered clarified solution comprising the viral vector; concentrating the filtered clarified solution comprising the viral vector to produce a concentrated solution comprising the viral vector; and passing the concentrated solution comprising the viral vector through a protein-coated sterile membrane to produce a concentrated sterilized solution comprising the viral vector.
[0067] In some embodiments, the methods further comprises the step of mixing the concentrated sterilized solution comprising the viral vector with one or more sterile, pyrogen- free buffers and / or excipients to produce a sterile composition comprising the viral vector.

The 17-mer signal peptide of MLVLYLLLSLLALGAQC (SEQ ID NO: 71) as shown at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 20 is cleaved leaving a protein of SEQ ID NO: 21. Thus, although a mutation may be referred to in the context of SEQ ID NO: 21, it should be understood to also be made in the context of SEQ ID NO: 20, which contains the leader sequence, and thus would be a position number that is 17 more than the position recited for SEQ ID NO: 21. In some embodiments, the mutation inhibits or decreases the binding of the VSV-G protein to the LDL receptor (LDL-R). In some embodiments, the mutation is a I182D mutation as compared to SEQ ID NO: 21. In some embodiments, the mutation is a I182E mutation as compared to SEQ ID NO: 21.
[0143] As used herein, when a polypeptide is said to have a mutation as compared to a reference sequence, such comparison is based on an alignment such as using BlastP or ClustalW or ClutalOmega alignment software using default parameters. For example, position 182 can be found in SEQ ID NO: 2 and also as compared to the other strains as illustrated in FIG.3. FIG.3 illustrates a clustal alignment of the wild-type sequences of the ectodomains of the various strains of the VSV-G protein. The residue that is bolded and underlined are the residues that align to position 182 of SEQ ID NO: 2 of the various strains. SEQ ID NO: 2 refers to ectodomain of the VSV-G protein of the Indiana strain. SEQ ID NO: 11 refers to ectodomain of the VSV-G protein of the New Jersey strain. SEQ ID NO: 13 refers to ectodomain of the VSV-G protein of the Marraba strain. SEQ ID NO: 15 refers to ectodomain of the VSV-G protein of the Carajas strain.

Alternatively, scFvs may be used that are derived from Fab's (instead of from an antibody, e.g., obtained from Fab libraries). In various embodiments, this scFv is fused to a transmembrane domain and then to an intracellular signaling domain. However, the antigen binding domain can be any molecule that can bind to the to target on the cell. For example, the antigen binding domain of a CAR can be an antibody, a scFv antibody, an antigen binding domain, an ankyrin repeat (e.g. DARPIN), a VHH domain antibody, a nanobody, single domain antibody, a FN3 domain, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, a CAR includes those that solely provide CD3ζ signals upon antigen binding. In some embodiments, the CAR includes those that provide both costimulation (e.g. CD28 or CD137) and activation (CD3 ζ). In some embodiments, the CARs include those that provide multiple costimulation (e.g. CD28 and CD137) and activation (CD3ζ). In various embodiments, the CAR is selected to have high affinity or avidity for the antigen. In some embodiments, the CAR comprises the 4-1BB domain as well. These are merely illustrative in nature and are not limiting to the present embodiments and any chimeric antigen receptor can be delivered in conjunction with the viral particles and vectors provided for herein. These are non-limiting examples of CARs and any CAR construct could be encoded for by the nucleic acid molecule.

[0234] Various embodiments are further described in detail by reference to the following examples. These examples are provided for purposes of illustration only, and are not -99- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified. Thus, embodiments should in no way be construed as being limited to the following examples, but rather, should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teaching provided herein.
[0235] Example 1: Viral Vector Manufacturing Process.
[0236] Viral Vector Production: Viral vectors were produced in 293T cells. In transfection, self-inactivating Lentivirus (LV) pseudotyped with a VSV-G protein comprising a mutation that corresponds to I182E, T214N and T352A , expressing GFP or other gene of interest such as a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR20, a chimeric antigen receptor with an antigen binding domain that binds to CD20) under the EF1A promoter, was produced using a five-plasmid system (pModified-VSVg , pGag-Pol, pRev, pBinder, and LV plasmid expressing GFP or CAR20). 300 ng / cm2of plasmids was used for transfection with PEIpro- mediated transfection with a 1 mcg:1mcL DNA:polyethylenimine (PEI) ratio in T175 and CellSTACK™ cell culture vessels. The cell culture medium used during transfection is DMEM supplemented with either 10% or 3% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
[0237] DNAse Digestion: 48 hour post transfection, cell culture was spiked with 2 mM MgCl2 and 150 Unit of DNAse / mL for 2 hours. The cell culture was incubated at 37° Celsius in an incubator. After completion of incubation, the cell culture was cooled down to room temperature.
[0238] Clarification: The digested cell culture was clarified using a peristaltic pump with Sartopore® PP31.2 micron in series with Sartopore® PP30.45 micron at a flux of 250 L / m2h (LMH). The clarification filters were loaded with 80-200 L of digested cell culture per m2of each clarification filter area. The filters were preconditioned with water, with final equilibration with the DMEM + 3% FBS (10L / m2) followed by DMEM (5L / m2). Post filtration, the filters were flushed with minimum filter void volume of DMEM and emptied to product collection.
[0239] Ion Exchange Chromatography: Mustang ® Q ion exchange membrane was used as the LV capture and purification step after clarification. The membrane was conditioned using 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 with or without 4% sucrose for 25 membrane volume (MV) at 5MV / min flow rate. Post conditioning, the clarified cell culture was pumped through the Mustang ® Q membrane using the ÄKTA Avant 25 or Avant 150 chromatography systems at 5MV / min flow rate. After loading, the membrane was washed with 25 MV of 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl pH 7.5 with or without 4% sucrose to remove residual -100- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT loads and weakly-bound molecules and eluted with 20 mM Tris 1000 mM NaCl pH 7.5 with or without 4% sucrose to recover LV. Eluted LV was collected 1 MV after start of elution step until the UV signal at 280 nm flattened. Immediately after elution was completed, the LV eluate was diluted with 20 mM Tris pH 7.5 with or without 4% sucrose at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:6 of LV eluate and dilution buffer to stabilize the LV functionality. The dilution ratio of 1:2 resulted in higher conductivity (~50 mS / cm) while the dilution ratio of 1:6 resulted in conductivity of ~12.5 mS / cm.
[0240] Post-Chromatography DNAse: DNase digestion of the diluted chromatography product was performed using the same type of DNase as the first digestion post-harvest. Diluted chromatography product was spiked with 2 mM MgCl2 and 100 Unit of DNAse / mL and stored inside a 4° Celsius cold storage for 16-24 hours. After the incubation is completed, the product was warmed up to room temperature.
[0241] Polishing Chromatography: Capto Core 700 resin was packed to resin bed height of 10-20 cm. Post packing, the packed Capto Core 700 column was conditioned with 10 column volume (CV) of 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 with or without 4% sucrose. The Mustang® Q chromatography product was loaded onto the Capto Core 700 column at column loading of 10-20 mL per mL of resin volume. LV flows through Capto Core 700 and after load is completed, the column is washed to recover the remaining LV flow through. Product collection was based on the UV absorbance at 280 nm wavelength with collection starting when UV280 starts to rise and ended when the UV280 decreases after wash.
[0242] Sterile Filtration: Two types of sterile filtration filters were used to generate the data for positively charged sterile filters described in the present disclosure: Sartopore ® 2 XLG with dual layer of 0.8 micron / 0.2 micron and Pall Supor ® with dual layer of 0.8 micron / 0.2 micron membranes. The sterile filters were flushed with water and were run with either no pre-flush or with pre-flush of 1% w / v Exbumin® (20 mL flush / cm2filter area) prior to the introduction of Capto Core 700 product at a loading ratio of 50-200 L / m2and flow rate of 250 LMH. After the feed was loaded, the sterile filters were flushed with 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl pH 7.5 to recover the hold up volume in the filter and tubing.
[0243] Final Concentration, Buffer Exchange, and Controlled Rate Freeze: For the final concentration step and buffer exchange, 2-stage Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) was utilized to allow for high concentration factor to be achieved. For both stages, modified PES (mPES) hollow fiber module with 1.0 mm ID fiber and 750 kDa pore size were used with the exception that the first stage filter area is ~20 times larger than the second stage filter area. The hollow fibers were flushed with water and 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 prior to use. In -101- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT the first stage, the sterile filtered product was concentrated approximately 20x. The 20x concentrated product was then concentrated further using the second stage TFF to approximately 15x at which point the product is buffer exchanged against 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 4% sucrose pH 7.5 for 6-8 diavolumes (DV). After buffer exchange was completed, the product was concentrated 2x further and human serum albumin was added to a final concentration of 0.5% v / v. The product was frozen at -80 ° Celsius.
[0244] Example 2: Viral Vector recovery with and without pre-flushing of a charged sterile filter.
[0245] In the initial sterile filtration step development, the recovery of the non- concentrated purified lentivirus vector (~2x108vp / mL) across 3 types of sterile filters (Pall Supor® 0.8 / 0.2 micron, Sartopore® 2 XLG 0.8 / 0.2 micron, and Millipore Multimedia Durapore® 1.2 / 0.5 / 0.22 micron) in a 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl pH 7.5 buffer system was less than 50%. The sterile filters tested were composed of modified Polyethersulfone (PES) or Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) which has been reported to have positive charge from about pH 6 to about 8 (Basic Aspects of Membrane Science and Engineering, N. Hilal, D. Johnson, in Comprehensive Membrane Science and Engineering, 2010)
[0246] Vector recovery was compared across PES sterile filters not pre-flushed and pre-flushed with 1% recombinant human albumin for 2 feed conductivities (12.5 mS / cm and 41.0 mS / cm). At the lower conductivity, pre-flushing with 1% recombinant human albumin solution prior to sterile filtration resulted in double the recovery compared to no pre- flushing of the PES filter. For the higher conductivity feed, pre-flushing the sterile filters resulted in marginal yield increase compared to no pre-flushing. These results are illustrated in FIG.2.
[0247] In contrast, when Sartobran P sterile filter was used, pre-flushing with a recombinant human albumin solution led to moderate increase in viral recoverey (FIG. 3). Sartobran P is made of cellulose acetate material, which has been reported to bear a negative charge (Li, Nancy et al. “Synthesis and Characterization of a High Flux Nanocellulose- Cellulose Acetate Nanocomposite Membrane.” Membranes vol. 9,6 70. 6 Jun. 2019, doi:10.3390 / membranes9060070). This demonstrates that the viral vector loss during sterile filtration is largely due to adsorption by charge onto the filter, which can be avoided by coating with a protein, such as recombinant human serum albumin.
[0248] Example 3: Initial Pre-Coating of a Sterile Filter.
[0249] The impact of pre-coating of the sterile filter with protein to reduce vector loss was investigated. Viral vector recovery for non-concentrated, purified viral vectors -102- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT was assessed at 12.5 mS / cm and 30 mS / cm conductivity using sterile filters flushed with water and 20 mM Tris 100 M NaCl pH 7.5, or water followed by 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl + 1% exbumin® pH 7.5, prior to lentivirus filtration. The sterile filter used in this study is Pall Supor® 0.8 / 0.2 micron, composed of modified polyethersulfone (PES). The protein for pre- coating was a recombinant human serum albumin, such as Exbumin® (Invitria). Results are shown in FIG. 4. The experimental filtration results are denoted with Exb (+) and the control filtration results, with no recombinant human serum albumin flush, are denoted with Exb (-) in FIG.4. Pre-coating of a sterile filter with recombinant human serum albumin solution improved lentivirus vector recovery across sterile filtration by up to 2 fold as evidenced by three orthogonal analytical methods (FIG. 4). Thus, this demonstrates that the viral vector loss during sterile filtration is largely due to adsorption onto the filter, which can be avoided by coating with a protein, such as recombinant human serum albumin.
[0250] Example 4: Pre-Coating of a Negatively Charged Sterile Filter .
[0251] The effect of protein pre-coating on a sterile filter with a negative charge was also investigated. Protein pre-coating was applied to a Sartobran® P sterile filter, composed of cellulose acetate material, which has been reported to bear a negative charge (Synthesis and Characterization of a High Flux Nanocellulose-Cellulose Acetate Nanocomposite Membrane; Nancy Li, Jackie Zheng, Pejman Hadi, Mengying Yang, Xiangyu Huang, Hongyang Ma, Harold W. Walker, & Bejamin S. Hsiao; Membranes volume 9(6), 70, (2019).. A smaller magnitude of improvement was observed (Figure 5), relative to the improvement seen with positively charged sterile filters. The control experiments without protein pre-coating produced approximately 80% vector recovery, and the experiments with protein pre-coating has yield of approximately 70%. This result indicated that the lentivirus vector is not prone to loss due to charge interaction with the Sartobran P filter (See, FIG. 5). Lentiviral vectors are themselves negatively charged at neutral pH (see Perry C, Rayat ACME. Lentiviral Vector Bioprocessing. Viruses. 2021 Feb 9;13(2):268. doi: 10.3390 / v13020268. PMID: 33572347; PMCID: PMC7916122; and / or Rodrigues, Teresa et al. “Removal of envelope protein-free retroviral vectors by anion-exchange chromatography to improve product quality.” Journal of separation science vol. 31,20 (2008): 3509-18. doi:10.1002 / jssc.200800195). Thus, it is likely that viral vector recovery when using a negatively charged filter is not impacted when pre-flushing the filters because the lentiviral vectors bear the same charge as the filter.
[0252] Example 5: Impact of pre-coating of the sterile filter with HSA vs recombinant HSA. -103- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0253] The impact of pre-coating of the sterile filter with Human Serum Albumin (HSA) to reduce vector loss was compared to Recombinant Human Serum Albumin (Exbumin®). In the first condition (FIG. 6, left most data), viral vector recovery for non- concentrated, purified viral vectors was assessed at 12.5 mS / cm using sterile filters flushed with water and 20 mM Tris 100 M NaCl pH 7.5, or water followed by 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl + 1% Exbumin® pH 7.5, prior to lentivirus filtration. In the second condition (FIG. 6, middle data), viral vector recovery for non-concentrated, purified viral vectors was assessed at 12.5 mS / cm using sterile filters flushed with water and 20 mM Tris 100 M NaCl pH 7.5, or water followed by 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl + 1% HSA pH 7.5, prior to lentivirus filtration. In the third condition (FIG. 6, right most data), viral vector recovery for non-concentrated, purified viral vectors was assessed at 12.5 mS / cm using sterile filters flushed with water and 20 mM Tris 100 M NaCl pH 7.5, or water followed by 20 mM Tris 100 mM NaCl + 0.1% HSA pH 7.5, prior to lentivirus filtration. The sterile filter used in this study was Sartopore® 2 XLG 0.8 / 0.2 micron, composed of modified polyethersulfone (PES). Pre-coating of a sterile filter with HSA, either 1% or 0.1%, or Exbumin® solution resulted in comparable lentiviral vector recovery when assayed by Genome Copy or viral particle count by p24. This demonstrates that both HSA (e.g., non-recombinant HSA) and recombinant HSA could be used as a sterile filter precoating protein solution.
[0254] Example 6: Mutation at position 182 of VSV-G abrogates LDL-R interaction, but retains fusing properties as illustrated in FIG 7A-8B.
[0255] Plasmids / Sequences. All VSV-G plasmids were derived from pCMV- VSV-G Envelope Vector (Cell Bio Labs, catalog RV-110). Point mutations and combinations thereof were introduced using site directed mutagenesis (New England Biolabs). Individual mutations H8A and K47Q were previously shown to partially “blind” VSV-G, reducing its binding to LDL-R, the native cellular receptor for VSV (PMID: 29531262, DOI: 10.1038 / s41467-018-03432-4). In this experiment, a single binder molecule consisting of a CD7-targeting scFv (clone MT701) fused to an IgG “stalk” bearing a CD28 transmembrane domain was used.
[0256] Cells. HEK293T cells were grown in DMEM with 10% FBS. SupT1 cells were maintained in RPMI media with 10% FBS. Human PBMCs were purchased from AllCells and cultured in X-Vivo 10 (Lonza) supplemented with 20ng / mL IL-2 (Peprotech). PBMCs were activated 48 hours prior to transduction using anti-CD3 / CD28 Dynabeads (Cell Therapy Systems). -104- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0257] Generation of lentiviral particles. The recombinant lentiviral particles co-expressing VSV-G glycoprotein and binder molecules were generated by plasmid transection into HEK293T cells using Lipofectamine 3000 (ThermoFisher Scientific). A total of 5 plasmids were transfected: (1) plasmid expressing the VSV-G glycoprotein, (2) plasmid expressing the binder protein (3) plasmid expressing the lentiviral transfer genome encoding for eGFP, (4) plasmid expressing gag-pol, and (5) plasmid expressing rev. Transfected cell supernatant was harvested 48 hours later. Virus in the cell supernatant was concentrated by centrifugation through a sucrose cushion and resuspended in PBS. Lentiviral particle titer was determined using the Lenti-X p24 Rapid Titer Kit (Takara Bio, San Jose, CA).
[0258] Lentivirus transduction assay. A series of 10-fold dilutions (in cell culture media) of the concentrated lentivirus was performed and used to infect SupT1 and activated human PBMCs. Media was replaced 6 hours later, and the transduced cells were analyzed by flow cytometry on days 4 and 7 after transduction. Cells were stained with a viability stain and an anti-CD7 antibody to detect CD7 positive cells (PeCy7 mouse-anti- human CD7, clone CD7-6B7, BD Biosciences). Expression of eGFP was measured to calculate transduction efficiency.
[0259] Structure-guided design of novel blinding mutations. Using a published crystal structures of VSV-G bound to CR2 and CR3 of the LDL-R (pdb 50YL and 50Y9, respectively), we identified two putative positions in VSV-G with side chains oriented toward the binding interface on LDL-R (FIG. 7A and 7B). Residue Q10 (SEQ ID NO: 2) appeared to form several interactions with residues in both CR2 and CR3. In CR3, this included interactions with a positively charged arginine residue. Thus, three substitutions were tested: Q10A to reduce side-chain interactions that potentially stabilize LDL-R binding and Q10R and Q10K to create electrostatic repulsion.
[0260] Residue I182 (SEQ ID NO: 2) appeared to contact several residues in both CR2 and CR3 as well. Three substitutions were tested: I182A to reduce side-chain interactions that potentially stabilize LDL-R binding and I182D and I182E to create electrostatic repulsion against the primary binding interfaces on LDL-R.
[0261] Addition of negative charges in the binding interface ablate native tropism without altering fusogenicity. Titration of viral supernatants on the CD7+ T cell line SupT1 validated the structural predictions for residue I182. In the absence of any compensatory binder molecule, WT VSV-G reached titers of 3.0e8 while both I182D and I182E were ~3 orders of magnitude lower (Fig. 8A. Substitutions at residue I182 preserved fusogenicity, as titers were restored to 1e8 in the presence of a binder redirecting the virions to CD7. -105- IPTS / 126938130.1DOCKET NO: INH-024WO PATENT
[0262] The data is illustrated in FIG.8A and 8B which shows that the addition of negative charges in the binding interface ablate native tropism without altering fusogenicity. FIG.8A (Top) shows the titration of VSV-G constructs on SupT1 cells. Plotted is the percentage of SupT1 cells expressing GFP at each amount of viral input in terms of p24 antigen. Dashed lines / open circles indicate VSV-G constructs alone, solid lines / filled circles indicate the same construct with a CD7 targeting molecule expressed in trans. FIG. 8B illustrates Functional titer of each construct calculated from the titration in A, expressed as transducing units per mL of concentrated virus supernatant (TU / mL).
[0263] Thus these examples demonstrate that a mutation position 182 is sufficient to abrogate the LDL-R interaction, but retain fusogenic properties when combining with a targeting moiety that binds to a target on the target cell.
[0264] Thus, the examples provided for herein demonstrate that viral recovery can be significantly increased when pre-coating a sterile filter, such as a positively charged sterile filter, with a protein, such as recombination human serum albumin. This effect appears to be greater with a positively charged filter, which was surprising and could not have been predicted. Additionally, the methods provided for herein lead to increased recovery even while being able to produce a sterile composition even though steps are performed after passing a solution through a sterile filter. This is in contrast to other methods that have the final step being the sterile filtration step. Thus, the present methods and embodiments lead to increased recovery without sacrificing the sterility of a product, which is important for a pharmaceutical composition. These methods can be used to administer a higher dose of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a viral vector in a smaller volume, which is advantageous to patients being treated with viral vector based therapies.
