Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application relates to antibodies that specifically bind to V-domain immunoglobulin-containing suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) at acidic pH and their use in cancer treatment. [Background technology]
[0002] V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T-cell activation, or VISTA, is a co-inhibitory member of the B7 family of immune receptors expressed by myelomonocytic cells and other leukocytes. However, the mechanism by which VISTA suppresses immune responses is not well understood.
[0003] The present inventors have found that, unlike other known immune receptors, VISTA selectively engages and functions with its counterreceptor at acidic pH, but has very low activity at physiological pH (e.g., 7.3-7.4). Therefore, VISTA may suppress immune responses in acidic microenvironments, such as tumor beds or sites of inflammation, without interfering with cells circulating in the blood or retaining in non-inflamed, non-acidic tissues. Additionally, the present inventors have found that anti-VISTA antibodies can be engineered to selectively bind to VISTA at acidic pH, but exhibit little or no binding at physiological pH, similar to the acidic pH selectivity of VISTA itself. Such acidic pH-selective antibodies may offer desirable properties for treating diseases such as cancer, compared to antibodies that bind to VISTA at physiological pH. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present disclosure relates to antibodies that specifically bind to the extracellular domain (ECD) of VISTA, such as human VISTA ("hVISTA" or "huVISTA"), at acidic pH (e.g., under acidic conditions). The present disclosure also relates to antibodies that specifically bind to the extracellular domain (ECD) of VISTA, such as hVISTA, at acidic pH, but show little or no binding at neutral or physiological pH. The inventors herein recognized that the hVISTA-ECD amino acid sequence contains many conserved and non-conserved histidine residues, and that the frequency of histidine residues in the ECD of VISTA is very high compared to other B7 family members and other immunoglobulin superfamily members. (See Figures 1A and 1B.) The amino acid histidine has a pKa of approximately 6.5 in solution. This means that at pH 6.5 or lower, histidine residues in proteins are often protonated and therefore positively charged, but become increasingly unprotonated and charge-neutral at pHs higher than 6.5. Because tumor microenvironments and inflamed tissues are often acidic, VISTA proteins found in these microenvironments may have at least partially protonated histidine residues. As discussed herein, the inventors hypothesized that histidine protonation may affect the conformation, surface structure, and / or charge density of VISTA, which in turn may generate pH-specific or pH-selective epitopes for both receptor-ligand interactions and antibody binding. Targeting VISTA with antibodies that bind at acidic pH but not at neutral or physiological pH may prevent target-mediated pharmacokinetics by circulating and lymphoid organ-resident myelomonocytic cells and improve antibody PK, receptor occupancy, and activity in the tumor microenvironment. Acidic pH selective antibodies can also improve the specificity of VISTA antibodies to target cells within the tumor rather than in the circulation for therapeutic modalities such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and delivery of payloads (antibody-drug conjugates).

[Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0006] [Figure 1A] 1 shows that the extracellular domain of VISTA contains a very high frequency of histidine residues, many of which are conserved, and at least some of which can participate in receptor-ligand binding. Also shown is a graph of immunoglobulin domain-containing proteins, with the number of amino acid residues in the extracellular domain of each protein plotted on the X-axis and the frequency of histidine residues in the extracellular domain of each protein plotted on the Y-axis. The size of each data point corresponds to the total number of histidine residues in the extracellular domain of each protein. [Figure 1B] This figure shows that the extracellular domain of VISTA contains a very high frequency of histidine residues, many of which are conserved, and at least some of which may be involved in receptor-ligand binding. Also shown are aligned amino acid sequences of the extracellular domains of human, cynomolgus macaque, and mouse VISTA. The signal peptide (Sig) and transmembrane domain (TMD) sequence positions are marked. Histidine residues conserved across all three species are shown in bold and underlined, while histidine residues conserved across humans and cynolmogus macaques are shown in bold only. [Figure 1C]
[0023] Figure 1 shows that the extracellular domain of VISTA contains a very high frequency of histidine residues, many of which are conserved, and at least some of which may be involved in receptor-ligand binding. Also shown is a model of the three-dimensional structure of a human VISTA immunoglobulin domain. Histidine residues are shown as ball-and-stick traces. [Figure 2A]
[0023] Figure 1 shows a model for how histidine residues in the extracellular domain of VISTA confer counter-receptor selectivity at acidic pH but not at physiological pH. It also shows that the absence and presence of protonation of the pyrrole ammonium group (NH) of the histidine residues are in equilibrium. The pKa of histidine in solution is 6.5. This indicates that histidine residues are more likely to be protonated, and therefore more likely to be positively charged, at pH 6.5 and lower than at higher pHs. [Figure 2B]
[0023] Figure 1 shows a model in which histidine residues in the extracellular domain of VISTA confer counter-receptor selectivity at acidic but not physiological pH. Also shown is a model in which VISTA selectively engages P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) or other counter-receptors and ligands ("VISTA-R") at acidic pH. Thus, antibodies that bind to the extracellular domain of VISTA at acidic but not physiological pH may be important for inhibiting or modulating VISTA activity. [Figure 3] Figure 1 shows the levels of VISTA surface expression (mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of anti-VISTA antibody staining) on tumor-infiltrating macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, CD4+ effector T cells, CD4+ regulatory T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and B cells. VISTA is expressed on numerous tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, particularly myeloid cells. The tumor microenvironment is often acidic, allowing VISTA to engage with counterreceptors and ligands. [Figure 4A]This figure shows that VISTA selectively binds to leukocytes and PSGL-1 at acidic pH, but exhibits little or no binding at neutral pH, and this binding can be blocked by anti-VISTA antibodies. The left side of Figure 4A shows representative histograms of fluorescently conjugated recombinant VISTA multimers binding to activated human CD4+ T cells. Filled histograms, ranging from darker to lighter gray, indicate binding at pH 7.0, 6.5, 6.4, 6.3, 6.1, and 6.0. Some histograms are labeled with their corresponding pH. A non-VISTA control multimer, which binds at pH 6.0, is shown as an open histogram. The right side graphs the average MFI of VISTA (circles) and control (triangles) multimers binding to activated human CD4+ T cells from two donors at various pHs. [Figure 4B] Figure 4B shows that VISTA selectively binds to leukocytes and PSGL-1 at acidic pH, but little or no binding at neutral pH, and this binding can be blocked by anti-VISTA antibodies. Figure 4B shows representative histograms of recombinant VISTA multimer binding to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at pH 6.0 and pH 7.4. The filled histograms, from darker to lighter gray, show binding to CD19+ B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD56+ NK cells, and CD14+ monocytes at pH 6.0. The unfilled, solid-border and dotted-border histograms show binding to PBMC lymphocytes and monocytes, respectively, at pH 7.4. [Figure 4C]Figure 4C shows that VISTA selectively binds to leukocytes and PSGL-1 at acidic pH, but exhibits little or no binding at neutral pH, and that this binding can be blocked by anti-VISTA antibodies. Figure 4C shows binding of representative recombinant VISTA multimers to activated human CD4+ T cells in the presence of anti-VISTA blocking antibodies (squares) or a non-VISTA-specific isotype-matched control antibody (circles). Antibody concentrations are plotted on a logarithmic scale. Nonlinear regression curves are also shown. Triangles indicate background signal from activated human CD4+ T cells that were not stained with recombinant VISTA multimers. [Figure 4D] This figure shows that VISTA selectively binds to leukocytes and PSGL-1 at acidic pH, but little or no binding at neutral pH, and this binding can be blocked by anti-VISTA antibodies. Also shown are representative two-dimensional flow cytometry plots of recombinant VISTA multimers binding at pH 6.0 to heparan sulfate-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (strain pGSD-677, American Type Culture Collection) transfected to express human PSGL-1. Multimer binding was performed in the presence and absence of the anti-VISTA blocking antibodies shown in Figure 4C. Cells left unstained with recombinant VISTA multimers are shown as controls. PSGL-1 antibody staining is plotted on the Y-axis, and VISTA multimer staining is plotted on the X-axis. [Figure 4E] Representative histograms of recombinant mouse VISTA-Fc fusion protein binding to mouse splenocytes at pH 6.0 and pH 7.4 are shown. Filled histograms, from darker to lighter gray, show binding to CD8+ T cells, CD11b+ myeloid cells, and CD4+ T cells at pH 6.0. Open histograms show binding to whole splenocytes at pH 7.4. [Figure 5A-5B](A) and (B) show that VISTA preferentially mediates T cell suppression and cell-cell adhesion at acidic pH, and both effects can be reversed by anti-VISTA blocking antibodies. (A) Representative cell-cell conjugate formation at pH 6.0 and 7.0 between 293T cells expressing hVISTA or a vector control (plotted on the y-axis) and CHO cells endogenously expressing cell surface heparan sulfate on the x-axis. (B) Graph showing the frequency of cell-cell conjugates formed between the same cells at pH 6.0 in the presence of an anti-VISTA blocking antibody, an anti-VISTA non-blocking antibody, or an isotype-matched non-VISTA-specific control antibody. [Figure 5C-5D] (C) shows that VISTA preferentially mediates T cell suppression and cell-cell adhesion at acidic pH, and both effects can be reversed by anti-VISTA blocking antibodies. (D) Representative plots of luciferase activity produced by Jurkat (a human T cell line) cells expressing an NFkB luciferase reporter after co-culture with 293T cells ("artificial antigen-presenting cells") expressing hVISTA and a single-chain variable fragment of the anti-human T cell receptor agonist antibody OKT3 at various pHs. Anti-VISTA blocking antibodies (squares) or an isotype-matched non-VISTA-specific control antibody (circles) were added to the co-cultured cells. (D) The data shown in Figure 5A are plotted as the fold increase in luciferase signal with anti-VISTA antibody treatment compared to the control ("effect size"). [Figure 6A] Figure 6A shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6A shows the colocalization of VISTA, Rab5 (an early endosome marker), Rab7 (a late endosome marker), and Rab11 (a recycling endosome marker) in 293T cells expressing human VISTA. [Figure 6B]Figure 6B shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6B shows the colocalization of VISTA and Rab11 within human monocytes. Intracellular VISTA is colocalized with Rab11+ recycling endosomes. A non-VISTA-binding control antibody ("cAb") of the same isotype as the VISTA antibody shows no detectable binding to monocytes. [Figure 6C] Figure 6C shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6C shows the binding of three anti-VISTA antibodies to recombinant VISTA at pH 7.4 (black), 6.7 (darker gray), and 6.7 (lighter gray). [Figure 6D] Figure 6D shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface via endosomal trafficking. Figure 6D shows the sensitivity of VISTA-expressing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines to killing by the same anti-VISTA antibodies 1 (inverted triangle), 2 (circle), and 3 (square) with cathepsin B-sensitive linkers and cytotoxic payloads, or a non-VISTA-specific control antibody (triangle). Cell viability (CellTiter-Glo LU) is plotted on the Y-axis, and antibody concentration is plotted on the X-axis. [Figure 6E] Figure 6E shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6E compares hVISTA binding of anti-VISTA antibody 3 to hVISTA binding of an engineered variant ("VISTA mAb3c") that does not exhibit poor binding at acidic pH. [Figure 6F]Figure 6F shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6F shows an antibody-drug-conjugate assay comparing the potency of anti-VISTA antibodies 3 (squares) and 3c (diamonds). [Figure 6G] Figure 6G shows that VISTA can be found in intracellular endosomes, particularly Rab11+ recycling endosomes, and that VISTA can be recycled to and from the cell surface by endosomal trafficking. Figure 6G shows a scheme of endosomal trafficking, in which VISTA is recycled to and from the cell surface by early endosomes and recycling endosomes. [Figure 7A] This figure shows how the anti-VISTA antibody variant library was designed and screened for acidic pH-selective antibodies. Figure 7A shows the amino acid substitutions made in the VH CDR3 of the anti-human VISTA antibody clone P1-061029 (abbreviated as '029) to generate the '029 library for screening. To potentially improve binding to the histidine-rich region of VISTA at acidic pH, the library allowed substitution of the negatively charged amino acids aspartic acid and glutamic acid and pH-sensitive histidine. X = H, D, or E. Bracketed sequences were removed from the synthesis to avoid introducing instability. A total of 647 unique sequences of P1-061029 HCDR3 with one or two mutations were synthesized. [Figure 7B] Figure 7B shows how the anti-VISTA antibody variant library was designed and screened for acidic pH-selective antibodies. Figure 7B shows the procedure for iteratively screening the '029 library to select acidic pH-selective antibody variants. R indicates selection round. [Figure 7C]Figure 7A shows how the anti-VISTA antibody mutant library was designed and screened to obtain acidic pH-selective antibodies. Figure 7C shows representative two-dimensional flow cytometry plot data showing the mutant pool after nine rounds of selection. VISTA binding is plotted on the Y-axis, and mutant antibody expression is plotted on the X-axis. Binding data at various antibody concentrations and pHs are shown. [Figure 7D] Figure 7D shows how the anti-VISTA antibody variant library was designed and screened for acidic pH-selective antibodies.

Figure 7E shows a diagram of the dissociation rates of P1-061029 and its progeny clones against human VISTA at pH 6.0.

At pH 6.0, recombinant VISTA multimer binding to activated human CD4+ T cells was equivalently blocked by P1-061029 (squares), P1-068761 (triangles), and P1-068767 (inverted triangles), whereas a non-VISTA-specific control antibody (circles) did not block VISTA binding. [Figure 8F] Figure 8F shows pH-selective cell binding, blocking, and effector activity of VISTA antibodies P1-068761 and P1-068767. Figure 8F shows that at physiological pH, the potency of P1-068761 (triangles) and P1-068767 (inverted triangles) in mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) was reduced. P1-061029 (squares), a non-VISTA-specific positive control antibody (circles), and a non-VISTA-specific negative control antibody (diamonds) are also shown. NK cell-specific lysis of target cells as a percentage of total target cells is plotted on the Y-axis, and antibody concentration is plotted on the X-axis. Nonlinear regression curves are also shown.

[0021] The "K" of antibody binding to a protein, e.g., the VISTA-ECD protein D " or "dissociation constant" is a measure of the affinity or specific binding of an antibody to a protein, e.g., a VISTA-ECD protein. D is higher K Dexhibits improved binding or affinity over K D is the "dissociation rate" or k for antibodies and polypeptides. off or k d and the "association rate" or k on or k a The dissociation rate and association rate are the rates at which two binding partners associate and dissociate in a system. Thus, if the dissociation rate is slower and the association rate remains roughly constant, there is a higher overall affinity, and therefore a lower K D As used herein, a k off is k off or the "dissociation rate" is as specified or slower than the specified rate.
[0022] The term "specific binding" or "specifically binds" or similar terms refers to the K of binding of two polypeptides, such as an antibody and its polypeptide target. D is lower than that between two random polypeptides present under the same conditions. D is lower than that due to non-specific aggregation of polypeptides in the system.
[0023] In some embodiments, an antibody specifically binds to a VISTA-ECD protein at a particular pH or pH range. An "acidic" pH, as used herein, generally refers to a pH below 7.0, a "basic" pH generally refers to a pH above 7.0, and a "neutral" pH generally refers to a pH of about 7.0. A "physiological pH," as used herein, refers to a pH under normal (i.e., non-cancerous) physiological conditions, e.g., from 7.35 to 7.45, or from 7.3 to 7.4, such as about 7.4. As used herein, phrases such as "binding under acidic conditions" or "binding under physiological conditions," when used in the context of binding between two molecules, such as VISTA and a VISTA binding partner or VISTA and a T cell, refer to binding at acidic pH and binding at physiological pH, respectively.
[0024] When referring to an antibody that "blocks binding" or "inhibits binding" of a ligand (or receptor), or a competing antibody to the receptor (or ligand) alone or to cells, binding is blocked if there is a statistically significant overall reduction compared to the control, e.g., a 50% or greater overall reduction, e.g., a 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or greater overall reduction. An "anti-VISTA blocking antibody" is one that can block binding of VISTA to PSGL-1 or another VISTA ligand or receptor or heparan sulfate proteoglycans under at least some conditions, e.g., acidic pH.
[0025] "Tumor model," as used herein, refers to an in vivo preclinical assay that can be used to study the biological activity of a VISTA-ECD antibody, and includes xenograft or native mouse tumor assay systems. In some cases, the tumor model may make it possible to track tumor size or growth upon treatment with the antibody and / or to track the presence of immune cells in the tumor, such as specific types of T cells or NK cells, to determine whether the antibody has initiated or enhanced an immune response.
[0026] The term "immunostimulatory agent," as used herein, refers to a molecule that stimulates the immune system by either acting as an agonist of immunostimulatory molecules, including costimulatory molecules, or as an antagonist of immunoinhibitory molecules, including coinhibitory molecules. The immunostimulatory or immunoinhibitory molecule may be an immune checkpoint regulator, such as VISTA or another B7 family member, or another molecule as further described below. The immunostimulatory agent may be a biologic, such as an antibody or antibody fragment, other protein, or vaccine, or may be a small molecule drug. "Immunostimulatory molecules" include receptors or ligands that act to enhance, stimulate, induce, or otherwise "turn on" an immune response. As defined herein, immunostimulatory molecules include costimulatory molecules. "Immunoinhibitory molecules" include receptors or ligands that act to reduce, inhibit, suppress, or otherwise "turn off" an immune response. As defined herein, immunoinhibitory molecules include coinhibitory molecules. Such immunostimulatory and immunoinhibitory molecules may be, for example, receptors or ligands found on immune cells such as T cells or on cells involved in innate immunity such as NK cells.
[0027] "Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" and "homology" with respect to a peptide, polypeptide, or antibody sequence are defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acid residues in a particular peptide or polypeptide sequence after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity; any conservative substitutions are not considered part of the sequence identity. Alignment to determine percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in a variety of ways within the skill of the art, using publicly available computer software, such as, for example, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or MEGALIGN™ (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms required to achieve maximum alignment across the full length of the sequences being compared.
[0028] The terms "prime" or "enhance" refer to the initiation or increase of any event (such as protein-ligand binding), or the initiation or increase of any biological activity (such as an immune response) or phenotypic characteristic, or an increase in the initiation or occurrence, degree, or likelihood of that activity or characteristic. "prime" or "enhance" refers to the initiation or increase of an activity, function, and / or amount compared to a reference. Initiation or enhancement need not be complete. For example, in certain embodiments, "enhance" refers to the ability to cause a 20% or greater overall increase. In another embodiment, "enhance" refers to the ability to cause a 50% or greater overall increase. In yet other embodiments, "enhance" refers to the ability to cause a 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or greater overall increase.
[0029] The term "inhibition" or "inhibiting" more generally refers to the reduction or interruption of any event (such as protein-ligand binding), or the reduction or interruption of any phenotypic characteristic, or the reduction or interruption of the occurrence, degree, or likelihood of that characteristic. "Reducing" or "inhibiting" is the decrease, reduction, or cessation of an activity, function, and / or amount compared to a reference standard. Inhibition or reduction need not be complete. For example, in certain embodiments, "reducing" or "inhibiting" refers to the ability to cause a 20% or greater overall reduction. In another embodiment, "reducing" or "inhibiting" refers to the ability to cause a 50% or greater overall reduction. In yet other embodiments, "reducing" or "inhibiting" refers to the ability to cause a 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or greater overall reduction.
[0030] "Treatment," as used herein, encompasses any administration or application of a therapeutic agent for a disease in a human, including inhibiting the disease, or the progression of the disease, or one or more symptoms thereof, inhibiting or slowing the disease, or its progression, or one or more symptoms thereof, arresting its onset, partially or completely alleviating the disease or one or more symptoms thereof, or preventing the recurrence of one or more symptoms of the disease.

[0032] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a drug effective in treating a disease or disorder of interest, e.g., to partially or completely alleviate one or more symptoms. In some embodiments, an effective amount refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time, to achieve a desired therapeutic or prophylactic result.
[0033] The term "cancer" is used herein to refer to a group of cells that exhibit abnormally high levels of proliferation and growth. Cancers can be benign (also called benign tumors), pre-malignant, or malignant. Cancer cells can be solid cancer cells or leukemic cancer cells. The term "tumor growth" is used herein to refer to proliferation or growth by a cell(s) comprising the cancer, leading to a corresponding increase in the size or extent of the cancer.
[0034] Examples of cancers amenable to the treatment methods herein include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia.

It should be understood that anti-angiogenic agents include agents that bind to angiogenic factors or their receptors and block their angiogenic activity. For example, anti-angiogenic agents that can be administered in the methods herein include antibodies or other antagonists to angiogenic agents, such as antibodies to VEGF-A (e.g., bevacizumab (Avastin®) or antibodies to a VEGF-A receptor (e.g., KDR receptor or Flt-1 receptor), anti-PDGFR inhibitors such as Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate), small molecules that block VEGF receptor signaling (e.g., PTK787 / ZK2284, SU6668, Sutent® / SU11248 (sunitinib malate), AMG706, or those described, for example, in WO 2004 / 113304). Anti-angiogenic agents also include natural angiogenesis inhibitors, such as angiostatin, endostatin, etc. See, e.g., Klagsbrun and D'Amore (1991) Annu. Rev.

[0040] As used herein, a "growth inhibitor" refers to a compound or composition that inhibits the proliferation of cells (such as cells expressing VEGF) either in vitro or in vivo. Thus, a growth inhibitor that can be administered in the methods herein may significantly reduce the percentage of cells in S phase (such as cells expressing VEGF). Examples of growth inhibitors include, but are not limited to, agents that block cell cycle progression (at a point other than S phase), such as agents that induce G1 arrest and M-phase arrest. Classical M-phase blockers include vincas (vincristine and vinblastine), taxanes, and topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, etoposide, and bleomycin. Additionally, agents that arrest G1 spill over into S-phase arrest. For example, DNA alkylating agents such as tamoxifen, prednisone, dacarbazine, mechlorethamine, cisplatin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and ara-C. Further information can be found in Mendelsohn and Israel (eds.), The Molecular Basis of Cancer, Chapter 1, entitled "Cell cycle regulation, oncogenes, and antineoplastic drugs," by Murakami et al. (WB Saunders, Philadelphia, 1995), e.g., page 13. The taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are anticancer drugs both derived from the yew tree. Docetaxel (Taxotere®, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer), derived from the European yew, is a semisynthetic analog of paclitaxel (Taxol®, Bristol-Myers Squibb). Paclitaxel and docetaxel promote the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilize microtubules by preventing depolymerization, which leads to the inhibition of mitosis in cells.
[0041] The term "anti-tumor composition" refers to a composition useful for treating cancer, comprising at least one active therapeutic agent. Examples of therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, chemotherapeutic agents, growth inhibitors, cytotoxic agents, agents used in radiation therapy, anti-angiogenic agents, cancer immunotherapeutic agents, apoptotic agents, anti-tubulin agents, and other agents for treating cancer, such as anti-HER-2 antibodies, anti-CD20 antibodies, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonists (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors), HER1 / EGFR inhibitors (e.g., erlotinib (Tarceva®)), platelet-derived growth factor inhibitors (e.g., Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate)), COX-2 inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib), interferons, CTLA4 inhibitors ( For example, the anti-CTLA antibody ipilimumab (YERVOY®), PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., OPDIVO®, KEYTRUDA®, TECENTRIQ®, BAVENCIO®, IMFINZI®), TIM3 inhibitors (e.g., anti-TIM3 antibodies), cytokines, antagonists (e.g., neutralizing antibodies) that bind to one or more of the following targets: ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, PDGFR-beta, BlyS, APRIL, BCMA, CTLA4, TIM3, or VEGF receptors, TRAIL / Apo2, and other bioactive and organic chemical agents. Combinations of these are also included in the present disclosure.
[0042] Antibody that specifically binds to VISTA-ECD at acidic pH VISTA has a large number of histidine residues in its ECD, which alters its folding and overall structure, as well as the surface available for binding of ligands such as antibodies, at acidic pH compared to neutral pH, particularly the pK of histidine. a This may be different from the pH around 6.5, which is generally acidic in tumor microenvironments, and in order for an antibody to bind to VISTA in such a microenvironment, it may be necessary for the antibody to specifically bind to VISTA at an acidic pH, where at least some of the surface histidine residues are more likely to be protonated.

[0060] In certain embodiments, the Ab specifically binds to the VISTA-ECD protein at a pH at which at least one histidine residue, e.g., His98 of SEQ ID NO: 1, is protonated. In certain embodiments, the Ab specifically binds to the VISTA-ECD protein at a pH at or below pH 6.5, e.g., a pH at which most of the histidine residues in the ECD are protonated, which is expected to be between pH 6.0 and pH 6.5.
[0061] Also encompassed herein are Abs that specifically bind to VISTA-ECD protein with higher affinity at neutral, physiological, or alkaline pH compared to acidic pH, so long as the binding affinity remains high at acidic pH. For example, an Ab may have a K at pH 7.0 that is 1.5-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 50-, 100-, 300-, 500-, 1000-, or less than that at pH 6.5. D Even when binding at pH 6.5 and pH 7.0, the Ab binds at 10 -8 M or a smaller K D can bind to the VISTA-ECD protein.

D , k off , k on The above characteristics, such as specific epitopes, should not be treated in isolation. Thus, an Ab may bind to an epitope comprising one of the regions of SEQ ID NO:2 described above, and may also exhibit its K at different pHs, as described above. D , k off , k on The antibody may have general binding or pH-sensitive or pH-selective binding properties as demonstrated by one or more of the following behaviors:
[0063] In any of the above embodiments, the Ab may be, for example, a full-length antibody (i.e., comprising a full-length heavy chain (with or without a C-terminal lysine) and a full-length light chain), or may be an antigen-binding fragment such as a Fab fragment, a Fab' fragment, a (Fab')2 fragment, an scFv fragment, an Fv fragment, or the Ab may be a chimeric, humanized, or human antibody, or the Ab may be a bispecific or multispecific antibody.
[0064] Determining the binding affinity of an Ab to a VISTA-ECD protein at a given pH can be performed using several different methods, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), such as a BIACORE® assay. An exemplary SPR assay involves capturing one or several antibodies on a CM4 sensor chip with immobilized capture reagents (e.g., using a Biacore® anti-human Fc capture kit, GE Healthcare catalog #BR-1008-39, or a Biacore® anti-mouse capture kit, GE Healthcare catalog #BR-1008-39), and running a concentration series of VISTA antigen as the analyte to determine binding kinetics and affinity in a running buffer at the desired pH. In one embodiment, VISTA is injected at two to five concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 500 nM (e.g., 0.1 nM, 1 nM, 10 nM, 100 nM, 500 nM) at a flow rate of 30 μL / min, with an association time of up to 4 minutes and a dissociation time of up to 10 minutes. Between binding cycles, the capture surface is regenerated according to the manufacturer's instructions for each capture kit. All data are double-referenced using a reference flow cell and a blank injection. Data from simple 1:1 kinetics are fitted to a Langmuir binding model of mass transfer using Biacore® T200 evaluation software. SPR methods, as described in the Examples, may also be used.
[0065] The affinity of Abs for VISTA ECD polypeptides can be determined using cells expressing VISTA ECD polypeptides, PSGL-1, or heparan sulfate on their surface. This method involves flow cytometry, in which the binding of Abs to cell-bound VISTA-ECD is determined at a given pH, e.g., pH 6.5 or lower. An exemplary flow cytometry assay involves resuspending 293T cells or other cells ectopically expressing hVISTA ECD in a buffer consisting of HBSS + 1% BSA adjusted to the desired pH, e.g., pH 6.0 with MES or pH 7.4 with HEPES. Serial dilutions of Abs against hVISTA (e.g., human IgG) starting at approximately 20 μg / mL are incubated with the resuspended cells at 4°C for 30 minutes. The cells are then washed twice with the same buffer, maintained at a desired pH, e.g., 6.0 or 7.4, and incubated with a fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibody that recognizes the primary antibody (e.g., human IgG) and is stable at low pH. The cells are then washed as above and immediately acquired on a BD Fortessa or other flow cytometer without fixation. The affinity of the Ab for the VISTA ECD polypeptide can be determined as described in the Examples.
[0066] In certain embodiments, an Ab that binds to hVISTA ECD blocks binding of hVISTA to its binding partner (e.g., a VISTA receptor), for example, on a cell. Inhibition or blocking may be 100%, or at least 99%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, or 50%.

[0067] Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit the binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at a pH in the range of pH 5.0 to pH 7.0. Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit the binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at a pH in the range of pH 5.0 to pH 6.5. Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit the binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at a pH in the range of pH 5.0 to pH 6.0. Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit the binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at a pH in the range of pH 5.5 to pH 7.0. Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit the binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at a pH in the range of pH 5.5 to pH 6.5. Certain Abs specifically bind to the VISTA-ECD protein and inhibit binding of VISTA to its binding partner by at least 50% at pH values between 6.0 and 6.5. Inhibition of binding can be determined as described in the Examples.
[0068] The VISTA binding partner may be PSGL-1, such as human PSGL-1. The sequences of human PSGL-1 isoforms are provided herein as SEQ ID NOS: 3-10. It may also be, for example, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan present on certain cells.
[0069] Inhibition of VISTA binding to a binding partner can be determined by measuring inhibition of binding of VISTA (or VISTA ECD, or VISTA IgV domain, or VISTA-positive cells) to cells to which VISTA binds, such as T cells (e.g., CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, activated or not), NK cells, or other cells to which VISTA binds, in the presence or absence of the antibody. An exemplary experiment that can be used to determine whether an antibody inhibits VISTA binding to its binding partner, or to T cells expressing the binding partner, is a flow cytometry assay, for example, an assay comprising the following: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, buffy coat, or leukopak derived from donor blood are resuspended in a buffer composed of HBSS + 1% BSA adjusted to the desired pH, for example, pH 6.0 with MES or pH 7.4 with HEPES. The cells are then incubated with 20 μg / mL recombinant chimeric protein consisting of hVISTA ECD fused to human IgG1 Fc (VISTA-Fc) and various concentrations of candidate VISTA blocking or control antibodies for 30 minutes at 4°C. The cells are then washed twice with the same buffer to maintain a desired pH, e.g., 6.0 or 7.4, and incubated for an additional 30 minutes at 4°C with a fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibody that recognizes VISTA-Fc but not the candidate blocking or control antibody and is stable at low pH. The cells are then washed as above and immediately acquired on a BD Fortessa or other flow cytometer without fixation. Inhibition of binding can be determined, for example, as described in the Examples.
[0070] In specific embodiments, the Abs described herein can initiate or enhance an immune response, such as an antigen-specific immune response. In certain embodiments, the Abs stimulate T cell activity, particularly at acidic pH, such as that found in the tumor microenvironment. Stimulation of T cell activity can be measured, for example, in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) or in an in vitro assay using antigen-presenting cells (natural or artificial) and T cells. Stimulation of T cell activity can also be measured, for example, using the Jurkat assay described in the Examples.
[0071] In specific embodiments, the Abs described herein inhibit cell adhesion, which can be measured as described in the Examples.
[0072] Additionally, the activity of anti-VISTA Abs can be demonstrated in monocyte, ADCC, and ADCP assays, particularly at acidic pH such as found in the tumor microenvironment.
[0073] In certain embodiments, the anti-VISTA Abs inhibit tumor growth in a tumor model, for example, a human VISTA knock-in tumor model.
[0074] As shown in the Examples herein, the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of the antibody, i.e., recycling of anti-VISTA Abs in endosomes to enhance half-life, etc., require that the anti-VISTA antibody bind to VISTA under acidic conditions. Thus, as further described herein, anti-VISTA Abs that bind to VISTA at low pH, e.g., at or below 6.5, are also expected to have a longer, acceptable half-life compared to VISTA antibodies that do not bind to VISTA at acidic pH.
[0075] Exemplary hVISTA-ECD Binding Abs Provided herein are Abs that bind preferentially to hVISTA (ECD) at acidic pH (eg, acidic conditions) relative to physiological or neutral pH.
