[0002] Currently available molecules designed to redirect T cells to promote tumor cell lysis for cancer immunotherapy typically target the CD3 epsilon (CD3e) subunit of the T cell receptor (TCR). However, there are limitations to this approach. Previous studies have shown that, e.g., low doses of anti-CD3e monoclonal antibody (mAb) can cause T cell dysfunction and exert immunosuppressive effects. In addition, anti-CD3e mAbs bind to all T cells and thus activate a large number of T cells. Such non-physiological massive activation of T cells by these anti-CD3e mAbs can result in the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-gamma, IL-1-beta, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha, causing a “cytokine storm” known as the cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is also associated with neurotoxicity (NT). Thus, there is a need for improved T cell receptor-binding molecules that redirect T cells for cancer immunotherapy. SUMMARY

[00328] Certain specific details of this description are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the present disclosure may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the embodiments. 23 12 25
[00329] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as, “comprises” and “comprising” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to.” Further, headings provided herein are for convenience only and do not interpret the scope or meaning of the claimed disclosure.
[00330] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. The use of the words “a” or “an” when used in conjunction with the term “comprising” herein may mean “one,” but it is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one,” and “one or more than one.”
[00331] It should also be noted that the term “or” is generally employed in its sense including “and / or” unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
[00332] Unless otherwise defined, 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 disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present disclosure, suitable methods and materials are described below.
[00333] The term “about” when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of ±20% or in some instances ±10%, or in some instances ±5%, or in some instances ±1%, or in some instances ±0.1% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate to perform the disclosed methods. As used herein, “about” and “approximately” generally mean an acceptable degree of error for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Exemplary degrees of error are within 20 percent (%), typically, within 10%, and more typically, within 5% of a given range of values.
[00334] The term “acquire” or “acquiring” as the terms are used herein, refer to obtaining possession of a physical entity (e.g., a sample, a polypeptide, a nucleic acid, or a sequence), or a value, e.g., a numerical value, by “directly acquiring” or “indirectly acquiring” the physical entity or value. “Directly acquiring” means performing a process (e.g., performing a synthetic or analytical method) to obtain the physical entity or value. “Indirectly acquiring” refers to receiving the physical entity or value from another party or source (e.g., a third party laboratory that directly acquired the physical entity or value). Directly acquiring a physical entity includes performing a process that includes a physical change in a physical substance, e.g., a starting material. Directly acquiring a value includes performing a process that includes a physical change in a sample or another substance, e.g., performing an analytical process which includes a physical change in a substance, e.g., a sample.
[00335] “Antibody molecule” as used herein refers to a protein, e.g., an immunoglobulin chain or fragment thereof, comprising at least one immunoglobulin variable domain structure and / or sequence. An antibody molecule encompasses antibodies (e.g, full-length antibodies) and antibody fragments. In some embodiments, an antibody molecule comprises an antigen binding or functional fragment of a full length antibody, or a full length immunoglobulin chain. For example, a full-length antibody is an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule (e.g., an IgG antibody) that is naturally occurring or formed by normal 23 12 25 immunoglobulin gene fragment recombinatorial processes). In embodiments, an antibody molecule refers to an immunologically active, antigen-binding portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, such as an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment, e.g, functional fragment, is a portion of an antibody, e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, F(ab)2, variable fragment (Fv), domain antibody (dAb), or single chain variable fragment (scFv). A functional antibody fragment binds to the same antigen as that recognized by the intact (e.g., full-length) antibody. The terms “antibody fragment” or “functional fragment” also include isolated fragments consisting of the variable regions, such as the “Fv” fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains or recombinant single chain polypeptide molecules in which light and heavy variable regions are connected by a peptide linker (“scFv proteins”). In some embodiments, an antibody fragment does not include portions of antibodies without antigen binding activity, such as Fc fragments or single amino acid residues. Exemplary antibody molecules include full length antibodies and antibody fragments, e.g., dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab’, and F(ab’)2fragments, and single chain variable fragments (scFvs). In some embodiments, the antibody molecule is an antibody mimetic. In some embodiments, the antibody molecule is, or comprises, an antibody-like framework or scaffold, such as, fibronectins, ankyrin repeats (e.g., designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins)), avimers, affibody affinity ligands, anticalins®, or affilin® molecules.
[00336] The term “human-like antibody molecule” as used herein refers to a humanized antibody molecule, human antibody molecule or an antibody molecule having at least 95% sequence identity with a non-murine germline framework region, e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3 and / or FR4. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule comprises a framework region having at least 95% sequence identity to a human germline framework region, e.g., a FR1, FR2, FR3 and / or FR4 of a human germline framework region. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is a recombinant antibody. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is a humanized antibody molecule. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is human antibody molecule. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is a phage display or a yeast display antibody molecule. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is a chimeric antibody molecule. In some embodiments, the human-like antibody molecule is a CDR grafted antibody molecule.
[00337] As used herein, an “immunoglobulin variable domain sequence” refers to an amino acid sequence which can form the structure of an immunoglobulin variable domain. For example, the sequence may include all or part of the amino acid sequence of a naturally-occurring variable domain. For example, the sequence may or may not include one, two, or more N- or C-terminal amino acids, or may include other alterations that are compatible with formation of the protein structure.
[00338] In embodiments, an antibody molecule is monospecific, e.g., it comprises binding specificity for a single epitope. In some embodiments, an antibody molecule is multispecific, e.g., it comprises a plurality of immunoglobulin variable domain sequences, where a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a second epitope. In some embodiments, an antibody molecule is a 23 12 25 bispecific antibody molecule. “Bispecific antibody molecule” as used herein refers to an antibody molecule that has specificity for more than one (e.g., two, three, four, or more) epitope and / or antigen.
[00339] “Antigen” (Ag) as used herein refers to a molecule that can provoke an immune response, e.g., involving activation of certain immune cells and / or antibody generation. Any macromolecule, including almost all proteins or peptides, can be an antigen. Antigens can also be derived from genomic recombinant or DNA. For example, any DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence or a partial nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein capable of eliciting an immune response encodes an “antigen.” In embodiments, an antigen does not need to be encoded solely by a full length nucleotide sequence of a gene, nor does an antigen need to be encoded by a gene at all. In embodiments, an antigen can be synthesized or can be derived from a biological sample, e.g., a tissue sample, a tumor sample, a cell, or a fluid with other biological components. As used, herein a “tumor antigen” or interchangeably, a “cancer antigen” includes any molecule present on, or associated with, a cancer, e.g., a cancer cell or a tumor microenvironment that can provoke an immune response. As used, herein an “immune cell antigen” includes any molecule present on, or associated with, an immune cell that can provoke an immune response.
[00340] The “antigen-binding site,” or “binding portion” of an antibody molecule refers to the part of an antibody molecule, e.g., an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule, that participates in antigen binding. In embodiments, the antigen binding site is formed by amino acid residues of the variable (V) regions of the heavy (H) and light (L) chains. Three highly divergent stretches within the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, referred to as hypervariable regions, are disposed between more conserved flanking stretches called “framework regions,” (FRs). FRs are amino acid sequences that are naturally found between, and adjacent to, hypervariable regions in immunoglobulins. In embodiments, in an antibody molecule, the three hypervariable regions of a light chain and the three hypervariable regions of a heavy chain are disposed relative to each other in three dimensional space to form an antigen-binding surface, which is complementary to the three-dimensional surface of a bound antigen. The three hypervariable regions of each of the heavy and light chains are referred to as “complementarity-determining regions,” or “CDRs.” The framework region and CDRs have been defined and described, e.g., in Kabat, E.A., et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242, and Chothia, C. et al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917. Each variable chain (e.g., variable heavy chain and variable light chain) is typically made up of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the amino acid order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4.
[00341] As used herein, an “immune cell” refers to any of various cells that function in the immune system, e.g., to protect against agents of infection and foreign matter. In embodiments, this term includes leukocytes, e.g., neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Innate leukocytes include phagocytes (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells), mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and natural killer cells. Innate leukocytes identify and eliminate pathogens, either by attacking 23 12 25 larger pathogens through contact or by engulfing and then killing microorganisms, and are mediators in the activation of an adaptive immune response. The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes, called lymphocytes. B cells and T cells are important types of lymphocytes and are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. B cells are involved in the humoral immune response, whereas T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response. The term “immune cell” includes immune effector cells.
[00342] ‘‘Immune effector cell,” as that term is used herein, refers to a cell that is involved in an immune response, e.g., in the promotion of an immune effector response. Examples of immune effector cells include, but are not limited to, T cells, e.g., alpha / beta T cells and gamma / delta T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NK T) cells, and mast cells.
[00343] The term “effector function” or “effector response” refers to a specialized function of a cell. Effector function of a T cell, for example, may be cytolytic activity or helper activity including the secretion of cytokines.
[00344] The terms “polypeptide”, “peptide” and “protein” (if single chain) are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymer may be linear or branched, it may comprise modified amino acids, and it may be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation, such as conjugation with a labeling component. The polypeptide can be isolated from natural sources, can be a produced by recombinant techniques from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic host, or can be a product of synthetic procedures.
[00345] The terms “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid sequence,” “nucleotide sequence,” or “polynucleotide sequence,” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably. They refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. The polynucleotide may be either single-stranded or double-stranded, and if single-stranded may be the coding strand or noncoding (antisense) strand. A polynucleotide may comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. The sequence of nucleotides may be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. A polynucleotide may be further modified after polymerization, such as by conjugation with a labeling component. The nucleic acid may be a recombinant polynucleotide, or a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, semisynthetic, or synthetic origin which either does not occur in nature or is linked to another polynucleotide in a non-natural arrangement.
[00346] The term “isolated,” as used herein, refers to material that is removed from its original or native environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally-occurring polynucleotide or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide, separated by human intervention from some or all of the co-existing materials in the natural system, is isolated. Such polynucleotides could be part of a vector and / or such polynucleotides or polypeptides could be part of a composition, and still be isolated in that such vector or composition is not part of the environment in which it is found in nature. An isolated polynucleotide (ribonucleic acid 23 12 25 (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)), or polypeptide is free of the genes / nucleic acids or sequences / amino acids that flank it in its naturally-occurring state.
[00347] The compositions and methods of the present invention encompass polypeptides and nucleic acids having the sequences specified, or sequences substantially identical or similar thereto, e.g., sequences at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% identical or higher to the sequence specified. In the context of an amino acid sequence, the term “substantially identical” is used herein to refer to a first amino acid that contains a sufficient or minimum number of amino acid residues that are i) identical to, or ii) conservative substitutions of aligned amino acid residues in a second amino acid sequence such that the first and second amino acid sequences can have a common structural domain and / or common functional activity. For example, amino acid sequences that contain a common structural domain having at least about 80%, 85%, 90%. 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, or 100% sequence identity to a reference sequence, e.g., a sequence provided herein. In the context of nucleotide sequence, the term “substantially identical” is used herein to refer to a first nucleic acid sequence that contains a sufficient or minimum number of nucleotides that are identical to aligned nucleotides in a second nucleic acid sequence such that the first and second nucleotide sequences encode a polypeptide having common functional activity, or encode a common structural polypeptide domain or a common functional polypeptide activity. For example, nucleotide sequences having at least about 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, or 100% sequence identity to a reference sequence, e.g., a sequence provided herein.
[00348] The term “variant” refers to a polypeptide that has a substantially identical amino acid sequence to a reference amino acid sequence, or is encoded by a substantially identical nucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, the variant is a functional variant. In some embodiments, a TCRpV variant can bind to TCRa and form a TCR a: [3 complex.
[00349] The term “functional variant” refers to a polypeptide that has a substantially identical amino acid sequence to a reference amino acid sequence, or is encoded by a substantially identical nucleotide sequence, and is capable of having one or more activities of the reference amino acid sequence.
[00350] Calculations of homology or sequence identity between sequences (the terms are used interchangeably herein) are performed as follows. To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences, or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment and non-homologous sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). In a preferred embodiment, the length of a reference sequence aligned for comparison purposes is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, 60%, and even more preferably at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in 23 12 25 the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position (as used herein amino acid or nucleic acid “identity” is equivalent to amino acid or nucleic acid “homology”).
[00351] The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453 ) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http: / / www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In yet another preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http: / / www.gcg.com), using aNWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. A particularly preferred set of parameters (and the one that should be used unless otherwise specified) are a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.
[00352] The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences can be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989) CABIOS, 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4. The nucleic acid and protein sequences described herein can be used as a “query sequence” to perform a search against public databases to, for example, identify other family members or related sequences. Such searches can be performed using the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score = 100, wordlength = 12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecule of the invention. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score = 50, wordlength = 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to protein molecules of the invention. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used.
[00353] It is understood that the molecules of the present invention may have additional conservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do not have a substantial effect on their functions.
[00354] The term “amino acid” is intended to embrace all molecules, whether natural or synthetic, which include both an amino functionality and an acid functionality and capable of being included in a polymer of naturally-occurring amino acids. Exemplary amino acids include naturally-occurring amino acids; analogs, derivatives and congeners thereof; amino acid analogs having variant side chains; and all 23 12 25 stereoisomers of any of any of the foregoing. As used herein the term “amino acid” includes both the D-or L- optical isomers and peptidomimetics.
[00355] A ‘‘conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g, tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine).
[00356] As used herein, the term “molecule” as used in, e.g, antibody molecule, cytokine molecule, receptor molecule, includes full-length, naturally-occurring molecules, as well as variants, e.g., functional variants (e.g., truncations, fragments, mutated (e.g, substantially similar sequences) or derivatized form thereof), so long as at least one function and / or activity of the unmodified (e.g., naturally-occurring) molecule remains.
[00357] As used herein, the term “mutation” refers to an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA. In some embodiments, the mutation may be a large-scale mutation, such as amplifications (or gene duplications) or repetitions of a chromosomal segment, deletions of large chromosomal regions, chromosomal rearrangements (e.g., chromosomal translocations, chromosomal inversions, non-homologous chromosomal crossover, and interstitial deletions), and loss of heterozygosity. In some embodiments, the mutation may be a small-scale mutation, such as insertions, deletions, and substitution mutations. As used herein, the term “substitution mutation” refers to the transition that exchange a single nucleotide for another.
[00358] ‘‘Interleukin-2” also known as IL2, IL-2, IL 2, TCGF, lymphokine, and interleukin 2, as referred to herein, includes any of the recombinant or naturally-occurring forms of IL-2 or variants or homologs thereof that have or maintain IL-2 activity (e.g., at least 40% 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% activity). The variants or homologs may have at least 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity across the whole sequence or a portion of the sequence (e.g., a 50, 100, 150 or 200 continuous amino acid portion) compared to a naturally occurring IL-2. In some embodiments, IL-2 is substantially identical to the protein identified by the UniProt reference number P60568 or a variant or homolog having substantial identity thereto. Anti-TCRBV antibodies Human T cell receptor (TCR) complex
[00359] TCR is a disulfide-linked membrane-anchored heterodimeric protein normally consisting of the highly variable alpha (a) and beta (P) chains expressed as part of a complex with the invariant CD3 chain 23 12 25 molecules. TCR on aP T cells is formed by a heterodimer of one alpha chain and one beta chain. Each alpha or beta chain consists of a constant domain and a highly variable domain classified as the Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) fold. The TCRpV chains can be further classified into 30 subfamilies (TRBV1-30). Despite their high structural and functional homology, the amino acid sequence homology in the TRBV genes is very low. Only 4 amino acids out of approximately 95 are identical while 10 additional amino acids are conserved among all subfamilies (see, an alignment of TCRBV amino acid sequences in Table 9). Nevertheless, TCRs formed between alpha and beta chains of highly diverse sequences show a remarkable structural homology (FIGS. 25A and 25B) and elicit a similar function, e.g., activation of T cells.
[00360] T cell receptors (TCR) can be found on the surface of T cells. TCRs recognize antigens, e.g., peptides, presented on, e.g., bound to, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of cells, e.g., antigen-presenting cells. TCRs are heterodimeric molecules and can comprise an alpha chain, a beta chain, a gamma chain or a delta chain. TCRs comprising an alpha chain and a beta chain are also referred to as TCRap. The TCR beta chain consists of the following regions (also known as segments): variable (V), diversity (D), joining (J) and constant (C) (see Mayer G. and Nyland J. (2010) Chapter 10: Major Histocompatibility Complex and T-cell Receptors-Role in Immune Responses. In: Microbiology and Immunology on-line, University of South Carolina School of Medicine). The TCR alpha chain consists of V, J and C regions. The rearrangement of the T-cell receptor (TCR) through somatic recombination of V (variable), D (diversity), J (joining), and C (constant) regions is a defining event in the development and maturation of a T cell. TCR gene rearrangement takes place in the thymus.
[00361] TCRs can comprise a receptor complex, known as the TCR complex, which comprises a TCR heterodimer comprising of an alpha chain and a beta chain, and dimeric signaling molecules, e.g,CD3 co-receptors, e.g., CD3o / s. and / or CD3y / a.
[00362] As used herein, the term “T cell receptor beta variable chain” or “TCRpV,” refers to an extracellular region of the T cell receptor beta chain which comprises the antigen recognition domain of the T cell receptor. The term TCRpV includes isoforms, mammalian, e.g., human TCRpV, species homologs of human and analogs comprising at least one common epitope with TCRpV. Human TCRpV comprises a gene family comprising subfamilies including, but not limited to: a TCRP V6 subfamily, a TCRP V10 subfamily, a TCRP V12 subfamily, a TCRP V5 subfamily, a TCRP V7 subfamily, a TCRP Vil subfamily, a TCRP V14 subfamily, a TCRP V16 subfamily, a TCRP VI8 subfamily, a TCRP V9 subfamily, a TCRP V13 subfamily, a TCRP V4 subfamily, a TCRP V3 subfamily, a TCRP V2 subfamily, a TCRP V15 subfamily, a TCRP V30 subfamily, a TCRP V19 subfamily, a TCRP V27 subfamily, a TCRP V28 subfamily, a TCRP V24 subfamily, a TCRP V20 subfamily, TCRP V25 subfamily, a TCRP V29 subfamily, a TCRP VI subfamily, a TCRP V17 subfamily, a TCRP V21 subfamily, a TCRP V23 subfamily, or a TCRP V26 subfamily, as well as family members of said subfamilies, and variants thereof (e.g., a structural or functional variant thereof). In some embodiments, the TCRP V6 subfamily comprises: TCRP V6-4*01, TCRP V6-4*02, TCRP V6-9*01, TCRP V6-8*01, TCRP V6-5*01, TCRP 23 12 25 V6-6*02, TCRp V6-6*01, TCRp V6-2*01, TCRp V6-3*01 or TCRp V6-l*01. In some embodiments, TCRpV comprises TCRP V6-5*01, or a variant thereof, e.g., a variant having 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or more identity the naturally-occurring sequence. TCRP V6-5*01 is also known as TRBV65; TCRBV6S5; TCRBV13S1, or TCRp V13.1. The amino acid sequence of TCRp V6-5*01, e.g., human TCRp V6-5*01, is known in that art, e.g., as provided by IMGT ID L36092. In some embodiments, TCRP V6-5*01 is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 43, or a sequence having 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or more identity thereof. In some embodiments, TCRP V6-5*01 comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 44, or a sequence having 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or more identity thereof.

[00363] Diversity in the immune system enables protection against a huge array of pathogens. Since the germline genome is limited in size, diversity is achieved not only by the process of V(D)J recombination but also by junctional (junctions between V-D and D-J segments) deletion of nucleotides and addition of pseudo-random, non-templated nucleotides. The TCR beta gene undergoes gene arrangement to generate diversity.
[00364] The TCR V beta repertoire varies between individuals and populations because of, e.g., 7 frequently occurring inactivating polymorphisms in functional gene segments and a large insertion / deletion-related polymorphism encompassing 2 V beta gene segments.
[00365] Provided herein are, inter alia, antibody molecules and fragments thereof, that bind, e.g., specifically bind, to a human TCR beta V chain (TCRpV), e.g., a TCRpV gene family (also referred to as a group), e.g., a TCRpV subfamily (also referred to as a subgroup), e.g., as described herein. TCR beta V families and subfamilies are known in the art, e.g., as described in Yassai et al., (2009) Immunogenetics 61(7)pp:493-502; Wei S. and Concannon P. (1994) Human Immunology 41(3) pp: 201-206. The antibodies described herein can be recombinant antibodies, e.g., recombinant non-murine antibodies, e.g., recombinant human or humanized antibodies.

[00376] Current bispecific constructs designed to redirect T cells to promote tumor cell lysis for cancer immunotherapy typically utilize antibody fragments (Fab, scFv, VH, single domain antibody, etc.) that are derived from monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed against the CD3e subunit of the T cell receptor (TCR). However, there are limitations to this approach which may prevent the full realization of the therapeutic potential for such bispecific constructs. Previous studies have shown that even low “activating” doses of anti-CD3e mAb can cause long-term T cell dysfunction and exert immunosuppressive effects. In addition, anti-CD3e mAbs have been associated with side effects that result from massive T cell activation. The large number of activated T cells secrete substantial amounts of cytokines, the most important of which is Interferon gamma (IFNy). This excess amount of IFNy in turn 23 12 25 activates macrophages which then overproduce proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-lbeta, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha, causing a “cytokine storm” known as the cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (Shimabukuro-Vornhagen et al., J Immunother Cancer. 2018 Jun 15;6( 1):56). Thus, the need exists for developing antibodies that are capable of binding and activating only a subset of effector T cells, e.g., to re-duce the CRS and / or neurotoxicity (NT).
[00377] Described herein are molecules targeting the TCRpV chain of TCR and methods thereof. Without wishing to be bound by theory, such molecules are capable of binding, activating, and / or expanding only a subset of T cells, avoiding or reducing CRS and / or NT and minimizing potential immunosuppressive effects of anti-CD3 mAbs.
[00378] Described herein is a class of antibodies, i.e., anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein, which despite having low sequence similarity (e.g., low sequence identity among the different antibody molecules that recognize different TCRpV subfamilies), recognize a structurally conserved, yet sequence-wise variable, region, e.g., domain, on the TCRpV protein (as denoted by the circled area in FIG. 25A) and have a similar function (e.g., activation of T cells and a similar cytokine profde as described herein). Thus, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein share a structurefunction relationship.
[00379] Without wishing to be bound by theory, in some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein bind to an outward facing epitope of a TCRpV protein when it is in a complex with a TCRalpha protein, e.g., as denoted by the circled area in FIG. 25A. In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein recognize (e.g., bind to), a domain (e.g., an epitope) on the TCRpV protein that is: (1) structurally conserved among different TCRpV subfamilies; and (2) has minimal sequence identity among the different TCRpV subfamilies. As shown in Table 9, TCRpV proteins from the different TCRBV subfamilies share minimal sequence similarity. However, as shown in FIG. 25A-25B, TCRpV proteins which have minimal sequence similarity, share a similar 3D conformation and structure.
[00380] The alignment of TCRBV amino acid sequences in Table 9 underscores the diversity of TCR sequences. In particular, the TRBV sequences from different subfamilies are considerably different from each other.
[00381] In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein do not recognize, e.g., bind to, an interface of a TCRpV: TCRalpha complex. In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein do not recognize, e.g., bind to, a constant region of a TCRpV protein. An exemplary antibody that binds to a constant region of a TCRBV region is JOVI.l as described in Viney et al., (Hybridoma. 1992 Dec;l 1(6):701-13). In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein do not recognize, e.g., bind to, one or more (e.g., all) of a complementarity determining region (e.g., CDR1, CDR2 and / or CDR3) of a TCRpV protein.
[00382] Provided herein are, inter alia, antibody molecules directed to the variable chain of the beta subunit of TCR (TCRpV) which bind and, e.g., activate a subset of T cells. The anti-TCRpV antibody 23 12 25 molecules as described herein result in lesser or no production of cytokines associated with CRS, e.g., IL-6, IL-lbeta, IL-10 and TNF alpha; and enhanced and / or delayed production of IL-2 and IFNy. In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibodies as described herein have a cytokine profde, e.g., as described herein, which differs from a cytokine profde of a T cell engager that binds to a receptor or molecule other than a TCRpV region (“a non-TCRpV-binding T cell engager”). In some embodiments, the non-TCRpV-binding T cell engager comprises an antibody that binds to a CD3 molecule (e.g., CD3 epsilon (CD3e) molecule); or a TCR alpha (TCRa) molecule. In some embodiments, the non-TCRpV-binding T cell engager is an OKT3 antibody or an SP34-2 antibody.
[00383] In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibodies as described herein result in expansion of TCRPV+ T cells, e.g., a subset of memory effector T cells known as TEMRA. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that in some embodiments, TEMRA cells can promote tumor cell lysis but not CRS. Accordingly, provided herein are methods of making said anti-TCRpV antibody molecules and uses thereof. Also described herein are multispecific molecules, e.g., bispecific molecules comprising said anti-TCRpV antibody molecules. In some embodiments, compositions comprising anti-TCRpV antibody molecules of the present disclosure, can be used, e.g., to: (1) activate and redirect T cells to promote tumor cell lysis for cancer immuno-therapy; and / or (2) expand TCRPV+ T cells. In some embodiments, compositions comprising anti-TCRpV antibody molecules as described herein limit the harmful side-effects of CRS and / or NT, e.g., CRS and / or NT associated with anti-CD3e targeting.
[00384] In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecule binds to one or more of TRBV2, TRBV3-1, TRBV4-1, TRBV4-2, TRBV4-3, TRBV5-1, TRBV5-4, TRBV5-5, TRBV5-6, TRBV5-8, TRBV6-1, TRBV6-2, TRBV6-3, TRBV6-4, TRBV6-5, TRBV6-6, TRBV6-8, TRBV6-9, TRBV7-2, TRBV7-3, TRBV7-4, TRBV7-6, TRBV7-7, TRBV7-8, TRBV7-9, TRBV9, TRBV10-1, TRBV10-2, TRBV10-3, TRBV11-1, TRBV11-2, TRBV11-3, TRBV12-3, TRBV12-4, TRBV12-5, TRBV13, TRBV14, TRBV15, TRBV16, TRBV18, TRBV19, TRBV20-1, TRBV24-1, TRBV25-1, TRBV27, TRBV28, TRBV29-1 and TRBV30. In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecule binds to one or more of TRBV6-1, TRBV6-2, TRBV6-3, TRBV6-4, TRBV6-5, TRBV6-6, TRBV6-8 and TRBV6-9. In some embodiments, the anti-TCRpV antibody molecule is an anti-TRBV2, anti-TRBV3-l, anti-TRBV4-l, anti-TRBV4-2, anti-TRBV4-3, anti-TRBV5-l, anti-TRBV5-4, anti-TRBV5-5, anti-TRBV5-6, anti-TRBV5-8, anti-TRBV6-l, anti-TRBV6-2, anti-TRBV6-3, anti-TRBV6-4, anti-TRBV6-5, anti-TRBV6-6, anti-TRBV6-8, anti-TRBV6-9, anti-TRBV7-2, anti-TRBV7-3, anti-TRBV7-4, anti-TRBV7-6, anti-TRBV7-7, anti-TRBV7-8, anti-TRBV7-9, anti-TRBV9, anti-TRBV10-l, anti-TRBV10-2, anti-TRBV10-3, anti-TRBVll-1, anti-TRBVll-2, anti-TRBVll-3, anti-TRBV12-3, anti-TRBV12-4, anti-TRBV12-5, anti-TRBV13, anti-TRBV14, anti-TRBV15, anti-TRBV16, anti-TRBV18, anti-TRBV19, anti-TRBV20-l, anti-TRBV24-l, anti-TRBV25-l, anti-TRBV27, anti-TRBV28, anti-TRBV29-1, or anti-TRBV30. Exemplary anti-TCRpV antibody molecules and the corresponding TCRpV subfamilies recognized by said anti-TCRpV antibody molecules are disclosed in Table 10A. 23 12 25
