AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for HIV/AIDS, including anti-HIV drugs and broadly neutralizing antibodies, face challenges such as drug resistance, toxicity, and the need for frequent dosing, while conventional vaccine development is hindered by Env genetic variation and glycan shielding.
Development of multispecific antigen-binding polypeptides and polypeptide complexes that specifically bind to multiple sites on the HIV envelope protein, offering a single antibody type with maintained binding specificities and simplified manufacturing, potentially reducing the frequency of therapeutic regimens and enhancing efficacy by modifying the HIV microenvironment.
The multispecific antibodies provide a promising alternative to existing treatments by potentially reducing drug resistance and toxicity, improving efficacy, and simplifying manufacturing processes, while offering a less frequent dosing regimen for HIV management and prevention.

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 249,722, filed September 29, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] REFERENCE TO ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED SEQUENCE LISTING The contents of the electronically submitted sequence listing (Name: 4850_006PC01_Seqlisting_ST26, Size: 196,015 bytes, Creation Date: September 26, 2022) are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this specification.
[0003] Field The present disclosure relates to antigen-binding polypeptides and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof) that specifically bind to HIV proteins and have certain structural characteristics. The present disclosure also relates to polynucleotides and vectors encoding such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes, host cells, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), immune cells, pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes, and methods of using such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes. [Background technology]
[0004] background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major infectious disease burden with significant impact on healthcare and economies worldwide. Approximately 38 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, and more than 30 million people have died from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a chronic disease of immune weakening caused by HIV infection. “Global Health Sector Strategy On HIV-2016-2021-Towards Ending AIDS”, World Health Organization, June, 2016 (Non-Patent Document 1). There are two major forms of HIV: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more prevalent worldwide, while HIV-2 is less pathogenic and is mainly restricted to West Africa.
[0005] The major structural proteins of HIV are Gag, Pol, and Env. Gag (group specific antigen) is a structural protein of the viral core. Pol is a polyprotein that contains the enzymes important for viral replication: protease (PR), reverse transcriptase (RT), and integrase (IN). Env (envelope) encodes the glycoprotein that forms the outer envelope of the virus. Env is synthesized as a precursor glycoprotein gp160, which is subsequently processed to gp120 and gp41. Env interacts with the primary receptor CD4 and co-receptors (e.g., chemokine receptor CCR5) to fuse the viral membrane with the target cell membrane.
[0006] Env genetic diversity and glycan shielding have hindered the development of innate immunity against HIV and posed challenges to conventional vaccine development, but also prompted the search for alternative approaches to HIV prevention, one of the top global health priorities.
[0007] Despite the large number of anti-HIV / AIDS drugs available, HIV patients still face the daily challenge of taking multiple drugs under strict regimens. Inevitably, most patients will suffer the consequences of the emergence of drug-resistant viral mutants and develop other health problems such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, bone disease, liver disease, cognitive impairment, etc., due to the toxicity of long-term anti-HIV drugs. Alternative treatment options are urgently needed for HIV / AIDS patients.
[0008] Broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies (bnAbs) are antibodies that neutralize multiple HIV-1 virus strains. The fact that bnAbs target conserved epitopes in the virus means that the targeted epitopes are likely to remain even if the virus mutates. Therefore, bnAbs have recently been considered for the treatment and prevention of HIV / AIDS. Human clinical trials have revealed two factors that are important for the efficacy of bnAbs. First, the minimal effective dose or trough level of circulating bnAbs must be exceeded to prevent infection. Second, the emergence of viral escape through resistance mutations must be prevented.
[0009] Early human clinical trials using bnAbs demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this approach with transient reductions in viral load and acceptable tolerability and immunogenicity. Burton et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 34: 635-659 (2016); Mascola et al., Immunol. Rev. 254: 225-244 (2013); Wu et al., Science. 329: 856-861 (2010). However, resistant HIV strains emerged rapidly after treatment with individual bnAbs in vitro and in vivo. More recently, a phase II clinical trial using VRC01 bnAb highlighted the importance of maintaining adequate circulating antibody levels to reduce acquisition rates and suggested that effective prevention requires antibody combination therapy to enhance efficacy and minimize escape mutations. Corey et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 384:1003-1014 (2021) (Non-patent Document 5).
[0010] Multispecific antibodies address the limitations of bnAbs by providing a single antibody type that recognizes multiple independent binding sites on the HIV-1 envelope protein. Xu et al., Science.358(6359):85-90(2017) (Non-Patent Document 6). Treatment with multispecific antibodies also ensures that the independent binding specificities are maintained with the same pharmacokinetics, while treatment with multiple single-targeting antibodies results in different antibody half-lives that decline at different rates. Furthermore, multispecific antibodies simplify the manufacturing and regulatory process by using one product for clinical development rather than combining multiple products.
[0011] Multispecific anti-HIV antibodies therefore provide an important technological platform for the development of neutralizing antibody-based therapies to treat HIV / AIDS, offering a drug class with lower long-term toxicity and significantly less frequent treatment regimens. Multispecific antibodies also complement existing drugs by using completely different HIV targets than current standard of care HIV / AIDS drugs, providing patients with an alternative for disease control and health management. Multispecific antibodies may also provide a meaningful approach to HIV prevention in the current absence of an effective HIV vaccine.
[0012] In addition, the development of therapeutic antibodies can be challenging, especially in the manufacturing and later stages of development. For example, the manufacture of multispecific antibodies often requires multiple genes or plasmids for cell line development, which must be delivered to the same cell to make the correct molecule. Furthermore, multispecific antibodies can have mispairing between heavy and light chains, which can reduce product yields, increase the burden of cell line colony screening efforts, and cause product heterogeneity.
[0013] Thus, there is a need for multispecific and multifunctional antibodies, antigen-binding polypeptides, and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes that can bind to HIV proteins for selectivity or breadth / neutralization, can bring together two or more cell types, can bring targets together to transmit activation signals, can modify the HIV microenvironment, and can enhance avidity to improve efficacy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0068] Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention is directed to antigen-binding polypeptides and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof) with improved characteristics. In some embodiments, the present invention allows for the generation of multispecific and multifunctional antigen-binding polypeptides and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes through the expression of complementary self-assembled heavy and light chains expressed in a single polypeptide per arm, and optionally by the addition of specific amino acid linkers. Due to this multifunctionality, the antigen-binding polypeptides and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes of the present invention can bind to specific combinations of target molecules for selectivity or broadness / neutralization, can bring together two or more cell types, can deliver activation signals to targets together, can modify the disease microenvironment, and can enhance the avidity of the binding for improved efficacy.
[0069] Throughout the specification and claims, various terms relating to aspects of the present disclosure are used. Unless otherwise indicated, such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art. Other terms that are specifically defined are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definitions set forth herein.
[0070] definition As used herein, the term "antigen-binding polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide capable of specifically binding to one or more substances (i.e., one or more antigens or epitopes) that induce an immune response.
[0071] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding polypeptide complex" refers to a group of two, three, four, or more related polypeptides, where at least one polypeptide has the ability to specifically bind to one or more antigens. Antigen-binding polypeptide complexes include, but are not limited to, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof.
[0072] The term "antibody" includes, but is not limited to, a glycoprotein immunoglobulin that specifically binds to an antigen and comprises at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each H chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three constant domains, CH1, CH2, and CH3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises one constant domain, CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conserved regions, called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino terminus to carboxy terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with antigens. The constant regions of the antibody may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The heavy chain may or may not have a C-terminal lysine. Unless otherwise specified herein, amino acids in the variable regions are numbered using the Kabat numbering system and amino acids in the constant regions are numbered using the EU system.
[0073] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody produced by a single clone of B cells and binding to the same epitope. In contrast, the term "polyclonal antibody" refers to a population of antibodies produced by different B cells and binding to different epitopes of the same antigen. The term "antibody" includes, by way of example, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies; chimeric and humanized antibodies; human or non-human antibodies; fully synthetic antibodies; and single-chain antibodies. Non-human antibodies can be humanized by recombinant methods to reduce their immunogenicity in humans.
[0074] The antibody can be an altered antibody (e.g., by mutation, deletion, substitution, conjugation to a non-antibody moiety). For example, the antibody can contain one or more variant amino acids (compared to naturally occurring antibodies) that change the properties (e.g., functional properties) of the antibody. Several such changes are known in the art that, for example, affect the half-life in a patient, effector functions, and / or immune response to the antibody. The term antibody also includes artificial polypeptide constructs that contain at least one antigen-binding site derived from an antibody.
[0075] An "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to one or more fragments or portions of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to the antigen to which the whole antibody binds. It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments or portions of a full-length antibody. An antigen-binding fragment can contain the antigen-determining regions of an intact antibody (e.g., complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)). Examples of antigen-binding fragments of an antibody include Fab, Fab', F(ab') and F(ab') fragments. 2 Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies include, but are not limited to, Fv fragments, linear antibodies, and single chain antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies can be derived from any animal species, such as rodents (e.g., mice, rats, or hamsters) and humans, or can be artificially generated.
[0076] Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are encoded by separate genes, the VL and VH can be joined by a synthetic linker that allows them to be produced using recombinant techniques as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form a monovalent molecule (known as a single-chain Fv (scFv)) (see, e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science, 242:423-426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883). Such single-chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed by the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody.
[0077] Antigen-binding fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those of skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulins.
[0078] As used herein, the term "variable region" generally refers to a portion of an antibody, generally a light or heavy chain, typically about the amino-terminal 110-120 or 110-125 amino acids in a mature heavy chain and about 90-115 amino acids in a mature light chain, which vary widely in sequence between antibodies and are used in the binding and specificity of a particular antibody to a particular antigen. The sequence variability is concentrated in regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), while the more highly conserved regions within the variable domain are called framework regions (FRs). Without wishing to be bound by any particular mechanism or theory, it is believed that the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for the interaction and specificity of the antibody with the antigen. In some embodiments, the variable region is a mammalian variable region, e.g., a human, mouse, or rabbit variable region. In some embodiments, the variable region comprises rodent or mouse CDRs and human framework regions (FRs). In some embodiments, the variable region is a primate (e.g., non-human primate) variable region. In some embodiments, the variable region comprises rodent or murine CDRs and primate (eg, non-human primate) FRs.
[0079] As used herein, the term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain that are hypervariable in sequence and / or form structurally defined loops (hypervariable loops) and / or contain antigen contact residues. An antibody can contain six CDRs, e.g., three in VH and three in VL.
[0080] The terms "VL," "VL region," and "VL domain" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a light chain variable region of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some aspects, a VL region is referred to herein as VL1 to denote a first light chain variable region, VL2 to denote a second light chain variable region, VL3 to denote a third light chain variable region, etc. A recited VL region (e.g., VL1) can have the same or different antigen-binding characteristics and / or the same or different sequence as another recited VL region (e.g., VL2).
[0081] The terms "VH," "VH region," and "VH domain" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a heavy chain variable region of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some aspects, a VH region is referred to herein as VH1 to refer to a first heavy chain variable region, VH2 to refer to a second heavy chain variable region, VH3 to refer to a third heavy chain variable region, etc. A recited VH region (e.g., VH1) can have the same or different antigen binding characteristics and / or the same or different sequence as another recited VL region (e.g., VH2).
[0082] As used herein, "Kabat numbering" and similar terms are art-recognized and refer to a system for numbering amino acid residues in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, CDRs can be determined according to the Kabat numbering system (see, for example, Kabat EA. & Wu TT (1971) Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 190: 382-391 and Kabat EA. et al., (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USDepartment of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication, No. 91-3242). Using the Kabat numbering system, the CDRs in an antibody heavy chain molecule are typically located at amino acid positions 31-35 (which can optionally include one or two additional amino acids after 35, referred to as 35A and 35B in the Kabat numbering scheme) (CDR1), amino acid positions 50-65 (CDR2), and amino acid positions 95-102 (CDR3). Using the Kabat numbering system, the CDRs in an antibody light chain molecule are typically located at amino acid positions 24-34 (CDR1), amino acid positions 50-56 (CDR2), and amino acid positions 89-97 (CDR3).
[0083] As used herein, the terms "constant region" or "constant domain" are used interchangeably and refer to a portion of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, e.g., the carboxyl-terminal portion of the light and / or heavy chain that is not directly involved in binding the antibody to the antigen but can exhibit various effector functions, such as interaction with the Fc region. Constant regions generally have a more conserved amino acid sequence than the variable region. In some embodiments, an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises a constant region or a portion thereof that is sufficient for antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
[0084] As used herein, the terms "fragment crystallizable region," "Fc region," or "Fc domain" are used interchangeably herein and refer to the tail region of an antibody that interacts with cell surface receptors called Fc receptors and some proteins of the complement system. The Fc region typically includes the CH2 and CH3 regions, and optionally includes the immunoglobulin hinge.
[0085] As used herein, the terms "immunoglobulin hinge", "hinge", "hinge domain" or "hinge region" are used interchangeably and refer to the section of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, heavy chain between the Fab and Fc portions of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The hinge provides structure, positioning, and flexibility that aid in the normal function of an antibody (e.g., to cross-link two antigens or to bind two antigenic determinants on the same antigen molecule). Immunoglobulin hinges are divided into upper, middle, and lower hinge regions that can be separated based on structural and / or genetic components. Immunoglobulin hinges of the present invention can contain one, two, or all three of these regions. Structurally, the upper hinge region extends from the C-terminus of CH1 to the first hinge disulfide bond. The middle hinge region extends from the first cysteine to the last cysteine in the hinge. The lower hinge region extends from the last cysteine to the glycine of CH2. The cysteines present in the hinge form interchain disulfide bonds that link the immunoglobulin monomers.
[0086] As used herein, the term "Fab" refers to the region of an antibody that binds an antigen, which is usually composed of one constant domain and one variable domain of each of the heavy and light chains.
[0087] As used herein, the term "heavy chain" refers to a portion of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, typically composed of a heavy chain variable region (VH), heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), heavy chain constant region 2 (CH2), and heavy chain constant region 3 (CH3). A typical antibody is composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. When used in reference to an antibody, the heavy chain can refer to any of the different types based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region, e.g., alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), and mu (μ), giving rise to the IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes of antibodies, including subclasses of IgG, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, respectively. Heavy chain amino acid sequences are known in the art. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is a human heavy chain.
[0088] As used herein, the term "light chain" refers to a portion of an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which is usually composed of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). A typical antibody is composed of two light chains and two heavy chains. When used in reference to an antibody, the light chain can refer to any of the different types, e.g., kappa (κ) or lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region. Light chain amino acid sequences are known in the art. In some embodiments, the light chain is a human light chain.
[0089] The term "chimeric" antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof whose amino acid sequences are derived from more than one species. Typically, the variable regions of both the light and heavy chains correspond to the variable regions of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof from one species of mammal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, etc.) with the desired specificity, affinity, and function, while the constant regions are homologous to the sequences of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof from another species (usually human) to avoid eliciting an immune response in that species.
[0090] The term "humanized" antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof refers to a form of a non-human (e.g., murine) antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is a specific immunoglobulin chain, a chimeric immunoglobulin, or a fragment thereof that contains minimal non-human (e.g., murine) sequence. Typically, a humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is a human immunoglobulin in which residues from its complementarity determining region (CDR) are replaced by residues from the CDR of a non-human species (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster) having the desired specificity, affinity, and function (Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534-1536 (1988)). In some embodiments, residues from the Fv framework region (FR) of a human immunoglobulin are replaced by the corresponding residues in an antibody or fragment from a non-human species having the desired specificity, affinity, and function. The humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be further modified by substitution of additional residues within the Fv framework regions and / or the replaced non-human residues to improve and optimize the specificity, affinity, and / or function of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Generally, a humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises substantially all of at least one, usually two or three, variable domains that contain all or substantially all of the CDR regions corresponding to a non-human immunoglobulin, while all or substantially all of the FR regions are of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. A humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can also comprise at least a portion of a constant region that is typically of a human immunoglobulin. Examples of methods used to generate humanized antibodies are known and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,225,539; Roguska et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 91(3):969-973 (1994), and Roguska et al., Protein Eng. 9(10):895-904 (1996).
[0091] As used herein, the term "human" antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof means an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof having an amino acid sequence derived from the human immunoglobulin locus, and such an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is produced using recombinant techniques known in the art. This definition of a human antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof includes intact or full-length antibodies and fragments thereof.
[0092] An "isolated" polypeptide, polypeptide complex, antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof, polynucleotide, vector, or host cell is a polypeptide, polypeptide complex, antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof, polynucleotide, vector, or host cell that is in a form not found in nature. Isolated polypeptides, polypeptide complexes, antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, polynucleotides, vectors, or host cells include those that have been purified to the extent that they are no longer in a form in which they are found in nature. In some embodiments, an isolated polypeptide, polypeptide complex, antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof, polynucleotide, vector, or host cell is substantially pure. As used herein, "substantially pure" refers to a material that is at least 50% pure (i.e., free from contaminants), at least 90% pure, at least 95% pure, at least 98% pure, or at least 99% pure.
[0093] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymers can be linear or branched, can contain modified amino acids, and can be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also include amino acid polymers that have been modified, naturally or by intervention, for example, by disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification, such as conjugation with a labeling component. Also included within the definition are, for example, polypeptides that contain one or more analogs of an amino acid (including, for example, unnatural amino acids, etc.), as well as other modifications known in the art. Because the polypeptides of the present invention are based on antibodies, it is understood that in some aspects the polypeptides can occur as single chains or linked chains.
[0094] The use of the alternative (e.g., "or") should be understood to mean either one, both, or any combination of the alternatives. As used herein, the indefinite article "a" or "an" should be understood to refer to "one or more" of any cited or listed components.
[0095] As used herein, the term "and / or" should be interpreted as a specific disclosure of each of the two specified features or components, with or without the other. Thus, the term "and / or" used herein in phrases such as "A and / or B" is intended to include "A and B," "A or B," "A" (single), and "B" (single). Similarly, the term "and / or" used in phrases such as "A, B, and / or C" is intended to encompass each of the following aspects: A, B, and C; A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (single); B (single); and C (single).
[0096] As used herein, where an embodiment is described using phrases such as "including," "having," etc., it is understood that other similar embodiments described using the terms "consisting of" and / or "consisting essentially of" are also provided.
[0097] As used herein, the term "about" refers to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for a particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, "about" can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation, as is customary in the art. Alternatively, "about" can mean within a range of up to 10% or 20% (i.e., ±10% or ±20%). For example, about 3 mg includes any number between 2.7 mg and 3.3 mg (for 10%), or between 2.4 mg and 3.6 mg (for 20%). Furthermore, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the term can mean up to an order of magnitude, or up to 5 times the value. Unless otherwise indicated, when a particular value or composition is provided in this application and claims, the meaning of "about" should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range for that particular value or composition.
[0098] As described herein, any numerical range, concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range, unless otherwise indicated, is understood to include any integer value within the recited range, and, where appropriate, fractions thereof (such as 1 / 10 and 1 / 100 of an integer).
[0099] 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 pertains. For example, the Concise Dictionary of Biomedicine and Molecular Biology, Juo, Pei-Show, 2nd ed., 2002, CRC Press; The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology, 5th ed., 2013, Academic Press; and the Oxford Dictionary Of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology, 2006, Oxford University Press provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a general dictionary of many of the terms used in this disclosure.
[0100] Units, prefixes, and symbols are indicated in the format accepted by the Systeme International de Unites (SI). Numerical ranges are intended to be inclusive of the numbers defining the range. The headings provided herein are not intended to be limiting of the various aspects of the disclosure, which may be found by reference to the specification in its entirety.

[0175] Other General Aspects The antigen-binding polypeptides and antigen-binding polypeptide complexes described herein specifically bind to HIV proteins. This includes specific binding to one or more HIV proteins and specific binding to one or more epitopes on the same HIV protein. In some embodiments, the HIV protein is selected from the group consisting of an HIV envelope protein, an HIV structural protein, an HIV functional protein, or an HIV accessory protein. In some embodiments, the HIV envelope protein is an HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env), an HIV envelope glycoprotein gp160, an HIV envelope surface glycoprotein gp120, or an HIV transmembrane envelope protein gp41. In some embodiments, the HIV structural protein is p17, p24, p7, or p55. In some embodiments, the HIV functional protein is p66, HIV-1 protease (PR), or p31. In some embodiments, the HIV accessory protein is Nef, Tat, Rev, Vif, Vpr, or Vpu.
[0176] Antigen-binding sequences of HIV proteins (e.g., antibody CDR, VH, VL, heavy and light chain sequences) are well known. Such antibodies include, but are not limited to, PGT145, PG9, PG16, PGT128, PGT121, 10-1074, 3BNC117, VRC01, PGT151, 4E10, 10E8, or variants thereof (e.g., 10E8v4). In addition, molecular biology and recombinant DNA methods for generating, screening, and engineering antigen-binding complexes and antibodies containing such sequences are well known, see, e.g., Adair et al. Human Antibodies, 5(1-2):41-47, 1994; Kostelny et al., J. Immunol., 148(5):1547-1553(1992), Shiraiwa et al., Methods, 154:10-20, 2019; and Zola, “Monoclonal Antibodies: A Manual of Techniques,” 1987, 1 stEd., CRC Press; and Steinitz, Human Antibodies, 18(1-2):1-10, 2009.
[0177] In some embodiments, an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex of the invention does not specifically bind to an antigen associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
[0178] In some embodiments, one or more of VH1, VH2, VH3, VH4, VH5, and VH6 of an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex of the invention comprise an amino acid sequence encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% identity, at least 95% identity, or 100% identity to SEQ ID NO:28 or 29; and / or one or more of VL1, VL2, VL3, VL4, VL5, and VL6 of an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex of the invention comprise an amino acid sequence encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% identity, at least 95% identity, or 100% identity to SEQ ID NO:30 or 31.
[0179] In some aspects, the invention is directed to antigen-binding polypeptides or antigen-binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof) that comprise one or more amino acid sequences having at least 90% identity, at least 95% identity, or 100% identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 32-47, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, and 98.
[0180] In another aspect, the invention is directed to an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) that comprises one or more amino acid sequences encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% identity, at least 95% identity, or 100% identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 48-59, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97, and 99.
[0181] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) comprises an immunoglobulin hinge. In some embodiments, the immunoglobulin hinge comprises an upper hinge region, a middle hinge region, a lower hinge region, or a combination thereof.
[0182] As used herein, an antigen-binding polypeptide, antigen-binding polypeptide complex (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof), or a region or domain thereof "specifically binds" refers to the association of the antigen-binding domain with an epitope, where the binding involves a degree of complementarity between the antigen-binding domain and the epitope. Specific binding to an epitope occurs via the antigen-binding domain and is more readily apparent than binding to a random, unrelated epitope.
[0183] As used herein, "epitope" refers to a localized region of an antigen to which an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) can specifically bind. An epitope can be, for example, consecutive amino acids of a polypeptide (linear or consecutive epitope), or an epitope can be assembled, for example, from two or more non-contiguous regions of a polypeptide or multiple polypeptides (conformational, non-linear, non-contiguous or non-contiguous epitopes). In some embodiments, the epitope to which an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds can be determined, for example, by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography studies, ELISA assays, hydrogen / deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (e.g., liquid chromatography electrospray mass spectrometry), array-based oligopeptide scanning assays, and / or mutagenesis mapping (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis mapping).For example, Giege R et al.,(1994)Acta Crystallogr.D Biol.Crystallogr.50(Pt 4):339-350;McPherson A(1990)Eur. A(1976)J.Biol.Chem.251:6300-6303;Meth.Enzymol.(1985) volumes 114 & 115,eds Wyckoff HW et al.,USPub.No.2004 / 0014194),Bricogne G(1993)Acta Crystallogr.D Biol.Crystallogr.49(Pt 1):37-60,Bricogne G (1997) Meth. Enzymol. 276A:361-423, ed Carter CW, and Roversi et al., (2000) Acta Crystallogr. D Biol. Crystallogr. 56(Pt 10):1316-1323 (X-ray diffraction crystallography studies); and Champe et al., (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270:1388-1394 and Cunningham BC & Wells JA (1989) Science 244:1081-1085 (mutagenesis mapping).

[0207] Modifications In some aspects, the present invention is directed to an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex (eg, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) that comprises an effector function mutation or a half-life extending mutation.
[0208] Effector functions are an important part of the humoral immune response and form a link between innate and adaptive immunity. Most effector functions are induced through the Fc region of antibodies, which can interact with complement proteins and specific Fc receptors. As used herein, "effector function mutations" refer to changes in amino acid sequence, usually in the Fc region, that can enhance or reduce effector function, for example, increasing the binding affinity of Fc to a specific Fc receptor or increasing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity.
[0209] The "half-life" of a pharma- ceutically active substance is the time it takes for the amount of the substance administered into the body to be reduced by half. A "half-life extending mutation" of an antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex of the invention refers to an amino acid sequence change, usually in the Fc region, that extends the half-life of the antigen-binding polypeptide or antigen-binding polypeptide complex (e.g., by increasing Fc receptor binding affinity, slowing the rate of dissociation of the Fc from the Fc receptor, and / or by increasing sialylation).
[0210] Examples of effector function mutations that enhance function include, but are not limited to, the following substitutions in the Fc region based on the EU numbering scheme: S298A / E333A / K334A, S239D / I332E, S239D / A330L / I332E, and G236A / S239D / I332E. Examples of effector function mutations that reduce function include, but are not limited to, the following substitutions in the Fc region based on the EU numbering scheme: N297A and L234A / L235A. Further examples of effector function mutations, half-life extension mutations, and methods of incorporating them into amino acid sequences are known and are described, for example, in Saunders, "Conceptual Approaches to Modulating Antibody Effector Functions and Circulation Half-Life," Front.Immunol.June, 7, 2019.

[0212] As used herein, the term "knob-into-hole modification" refers to a genetic modification that directs pairing of two polypeptides to promote heterodimerization. In some embodiments, the modification introduces a protrusion (knob) into one polypeptide and a cavity (hole) into the other polypeptide at the interface where the two polypeptides interact. In some embodiments, knob-into-hole modifications can be created by introducing only hole modifications, e.g., by substituting an amino acid residue with a side chain that is smaller than the original amino acid residue (e.g., substituting one or more serine, threonine, valine, or alanine residues, or combinations thereof). In yet another embodiment, knob-into-hole modifications can be created by introducing only knob modifications, e.g., by substituting an amino acid residue with a side chain that is larger than the original amino acid residue (e.g., substituting one or more tryptophan or tyrosine residues, or combinations thereof).
