[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 831,572, filed April 9, 2019, and European Patent Application No. EP19306311.2, filed October 8, 2019, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
[0002] Submitting a sequence listing as an ASCII text file The contents of the following submission in an ASCII text file are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety: Sequence Listing in Computer Readable Form (CRF) (Filename: 183952032040SEQLIST.TXT, Recorded: April 6, 2020, Size: 526KB).
[0003] Field The present disclosure relates to trispecific and / or trivalent binding proteins comprising four polypeptide chains that form three antigen-binding sites that specifically bind to one or more target proteins, wherein a first pair of polypeptides forming the binding protein has dual variable domains with a crossover orientation. The present disclosure also relates to methods of making trispecific and / or trivalent binding proteins and uses of such binding proteins. [Background technology]
[0004] Monoclonal antibody-based biopharmaceuticals have become an important tool for new drug development. Monoclonal antibody technology provides specific targeting, precise signaling and / or payload to unique cell populations, and long-lasting biological effects through its Fc function. Efforts in antibody engineering have enabled the development of bispecific antibodies that combine the specificities of two monoclonal antibodies for various biological applications, expanding the scope of antibody drug development. Newly discovered neutralizing antibodies with improved breadth and potency may provide more options for developing biopharmaceuticals to treat complex diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, and / or inflammatory disorders.
[0005] Immuno-oncology is a promising and emerging therapeutic approach for disease management in cancer. The immune system is the first line of defense against cancer development and progression. There is now substantial evidence that T cells can control tumor growth and prolong the survival of cancer patients in both early and late stages of the disease. However, tumor-specific T cells are restricted in a number of ways that prevent them from controlling the disease.
[0006] As part of human adaptive immunity, T cell immunity plays a crucial role in controlling viral infections and cancer, and in some cases eliminates infected and malignant cells, resulting in the clearance of viral infections or the cure of cancer. In chronic infectious diseases, such as herpesvirus infections (HSV, CMV, EBV, etc.), HIV, and HBV, viruses establish their persistence in humans through various mechanisms, including immunosuppression, T cell exhaustion, and establishment of latency. Nevertheless, viral infections generally induce viral antigen-specific immunity, including antigen-specific CD8 T cells, which can easily recognize infected cells for control or killing through cytokine release or cytotoxic T cell (CTL)-mediated killing processes.
[0007] Therefore, activation and / or expansion of viral antigen-specific T cells in vivo and / or ex vivo may provide a therapeutic strategy for chronic viral infections.
[0008] All references referred to in this specification, including patent applications, patent publications, and UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot accession numbers, are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety to the same extent as if each individual reference was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] To meet these and other needs, trispecific binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) that form three antigen binding sites are provided herein. These binding proteins can specifically bind one, two, or three antigen targets or target proteins, such as CD28, CD3, and tumor target proteins. Some tumors express specific antigens. For example, HER2 amplification and overexpression can be found in molecular subtypes of breast cancer, and also in gastric, ovarian, lung, and prostate cancer. Optimal activation of T cells requires two factors: 1. antigen recognition and 2. costimulation. Using the trispecific HER2 / CD28×CD3 trispecific binding proteins described herein, signal 1 is provided by the agonist anti-CD3 binding site and signal 2 is provided by the agonist anti-CD28 binding site. The trispecific binding proteins recruit T cells to the tumor via binding sites that recognize HER2, CD38, or another tumor target protein, and activate the engaged T cells via anti-CD3 and CD28. The resulting activation induces the killing potential of the immune cells against nearby tumor cells. Additionally, anti-CD3 binding sites are described with high affinity binding to human CD3 polypeptide and with removed potential manufacturing disadvantages (e.g., deamidation sites).
[0010] Further provided herein are anti-CD38 / CD28×CD3 trispecific antibodies that have been developed and evaluated for their potential in T cell activation and subsequent proliferation and / or expansion of antigen-specific T cells. These trispecific Abs can effectively expand CD4 and CD8 effector and memory populations in vitro, including antigen-specific CD8 T central and effector memory cells. In particular, in vitro expansion of CMV, EBV, HIV-1, and influenza-specific CD8 central and effector memory cells has been demonstrated. The anti-CD38 / CD28×CD3 trispecific antibodies described herein exhibit novel properties by engaging CD3 / CD28 / CD38 and providing a signaling pathway for stimulating and expanding T cells, which may provide an effective strategy for treating chronic infectious diseases, such as HSV, CMV, EBV, HIV-1, and HBV infections.
[0011] To meet these and other needs, binding proteins that bind to CD38 polypeptides (e.g., human and cynomolgus CD38 polypeptides) are provided herein, including monospecific, bispecific, or trispecific binding proteins that have at least one antigen-binding site that binds to CD38 polypeptides. Advantageously, these binding proteins have the ability to recruit T cells to the vicinity of cancer cells, subsequently activating T cells and promoting activated T cell killing of adjacent cancer cells through the granzyme / perforin mechanism, providing a different mode of action for anti-tumor activity than anti-CD38 antibodies, such as DARZALEX® (daratumumab). Furthermore, the ability to bind to both human and cynomolgus CD38 polypeptides allows the binding proteins to be easily tested in preclinical toxicology studies, for example, to evaluate their safety profile for later clinical use.

[0045] [Figure 1A] FIG. 1A provides a schematic diagram of a trispecific binding protein that includes four polypeptide chains that form three antigen-binding sites that bind to three target proteins: CD28, CD3, and HER2. The first pair of polypeptides has dual variable domains with crossover orientations (VH1-VH2 and VL2-VL1) that form two antigen-binding sites that recognize CD3 and CD28, and the second pair of polypeptides has a single variable domain (VH3 and VL3) that forms a single antigen-binding site that recognizes HER2. The trispecific binding protein shown in FIG. 1A uses a constant region with a "knob-into-hole" mutation, where the knob is in the second pair of polypeptides with the single variable domain. [Figure 1B]FIG. 1B provides the fold change in binding affinity (relative to the parent) of anti-CD28 / CD3 / HER2 trispecific antibody variants using the indicated anti-HER2, anti-CD3, and anti-CD28 binding domains. Mutations 3233QQ-QEQ (from top to bottom) refer to mutations introduced at residues 32-35 of the VL domain of the anti-CD3 binding site (indicated by *); the remaining mutations were introduced in the VH or VL domains of the trastuzumab anti-HER2 binding site (indicated by #; numbering follows Kabat). For mutations in the anti-HER2 binding site, mutation 30Q was introduced in the VL domain and the remaining mutations were introduced in the VH domain. Binding affinity was measured by ELISA and the values provided are relative to the parent trispecific antibody. [Figure 1C] FIG. 1C provides binding curves of the trispecific antibodies that bind to the indicated human HER2, human CD28, and CD3 as determined by ELISA. [Figure 1D] FIG. 1D provides a proposed mechanism of action of HER2 / CD28×CD3 trispecific antibody-mediated T cell activation and HER2+ cancer cell killing. [Figure 2-1]Figure 2A provides a schematic diagram of a trispecific binding protein that includes four polypeptide chains that form three antigen-binding sites that bind three target proteins: CD28, CD3, and CD38. The first pair of polypeptides has dual variable domains with crossover orientations (VH1-VH2 and VL2-VL1) that form two antigen-binding sites that recognize CD3 and CD28, and the second pair of polypeptides has a single variable domain (VH3 and VL3) that forms a single antigen-binding site that recognizes CD38. The trispecific binding protein shown in Figure 2A uses an IgG4 constant region with a "knob-into-hole" mutation, where the knob is in the second pair of polypeptides with a single variable domain. Figures 2B-2E show the binding affinity of CD38 / CD28sup x CD3mid_ENLQ DKTHT IgG4 FALA trispecific antibodies with the indicated anti-CD38 binding domains to the target antigens human CD38 (Figure 2B), cynomolgus monkey CD38 (Figure 2C), human CD3 (Figure 2D), and human CD28 (Figure 2E) as measured by ELISA. [Figure 2-2] Continued from Figure 2-1. [Figure 2-3] Continued from Figure 2-2. [Diagram 3] Figure 3 shows an SPR competition assay for binding to CD38 by daratumumab and an anti-CD38 monospecific antibody with the indicated anti-CD38 binding domains. If the antibody recognized an epitope on CD38 different from that of daratumumab, injection of the antibody resulted in an increase in the SPR signal. If the antibody recognized an overlapping epitope as daratumumab, injection of the antibody did not increase the SPR signal. [Figure 4]Figures 4A-4B show the in vitro cell killing activity of CD38 / CD28sup x CD3mid_ENLQ DKTHT IgG4 FALA trispecific antibodies with the indicated anti-CD38 binding domains against human multiple myeloma NCI-H929 cells (CD38+ / CD28+). Assays were performed in the presence of 5 nM isotype control antibody (Figure 4A) or daratumumab (Figure 4B). In the presence of daratumumab, the trispecific antibody continued to exhibit cell killing activity. [Diagram 5] Figures 5A-5B show the in vitro cell killing activity of CD38 / CD28sup x CD3mid_ENLQ DKTHT IgG4 FALA trispecific antibodies with the indicated anti-CD38 binding domains against human lymphoma OCI-Ly19 cells (CD38+ / CD28-). Assays were performed in the presence of 5 nM isotype control antibody (Figure 5A) or daratumumab (Figure 5B). Daratumumab caused a decrease in the cell killing activity of the anti-CD38 / CD28 x CD3 trispecific antibody.

[0046] The present disclosure provides trispecific and / or trivalent binding proteins comprising four polypeptide chains that form three antigen-binding sites that specifically bind to one or more target proteins, wherein a first pair of polypeptides forming the binding protein have dual variable domains with crossover orientation.
[0047] general definition As utilized in accordance with the present disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings: Unless otherwise required by context, singular terms include pluralities and plural terms include the singular.
[0048] It is understood that the aspects and embodiments of the disclosure described herein include aspects and embodiments that "comprise," "consist," and "consist essentially of."
[0049] The term "polynucleotide" as used herein refers to a single-stranded or double-stranded nucleic acid polymer of at least 10 nucleotides in length. In certain embodiments, the nucleotides that make up a polynucleotide can be ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides or modified forms of any type of nucleotide. Such modifications can include base modifications such as bromouridine, ribose modifications such as arabinoside and 2',3'-dideoxyribose, and internucleotide linkage modifications such as phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, phosphoroselenoate, phosphorodiselenoate, phosphoroanilothioate, phosphoroaniladate, and phosphoroamidate. The term "polynucleotide" specifically includes single-stranded and double-stranded forms of DNA.
[0050] An "isolated polynucleotide" is a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin, or any combination thereof, which (1) is not associated with all or a portion of a polynucleotide with which the isolated polynucleotide is found in nature, (2) is linked to a polynucleotide with which it is not linked in nature, or (3) is not found in nature as part of a larger sequence.
[0051] An "isolated polypeptide" is a polypeptide that is (1) free from at least some other polypeptides with which it is normally found, (2) essentially free from other polypeptides from the same source, e.g., the same species, (3) expressed by cells from a different species, (4) separated from at least about 50 percent of the polynucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, or other materials with which it is naturally associated, (5) not associated (by covalent or non-covalent interactions) with portions of the polypeptide with which it is naturally associated, (6) operably associated (by covalent or non-covalent interactions) with polypeptides with which it is not naturally associated, or (7) not naturally occurring. Such isolated polypeptides can be encoded by genomic DNA, cDNA, mRNA or other RNA, of synthetic origin, or any combination of these. Preferably, an isolated polypeptide is substantially free from polypeptides or other contaminants found in its natural environment that would interfere with its use (therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, research, or otherwise).
[0052] Naturally occurring antibodies typically comprise tetramers. Each such tetramer is typically composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, with each pair having one full-length "light" chain (typically having a molecular weight of about 25 kDa) and one full-length "heavy" chain (typically having a molecular weight of about 50-70 kDa). The terms "heavy chain" and "light chain", as used herein, refer to any immunoglobulin polypeptide having sufficient variable domain sequence to confer specificity for a target antigen. The amino-terminal portion of each light and heavy chain typically contains a variable domain of about 100-110 or more amino acids that are typically responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain typically defines a constant domain that is responsible for effector function. Thus, in naturally occurring antibodies, the full-length heavy chain immunoglobulin polypeptide contains a variable domain (V H ) and three constant domains (C H1 , C H2 , and C H3), including V H The domain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide and is C H3 The domain is located at the carboxyl terminus and contains the full-length light chain immunoglobulin polypeptide. The peptide is a variable domain (V L ) and the constant domain (C L ), including V L The domain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide and is C L The domain is at the carboxyl terminus.
[0053] Human light chains are typically classified as kappa and lambda light chains, and human heavy chains are typically classified as mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon, defining the antibody isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. IgG has several subclasses, including, but not limited to, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. IgM has subclasses, including, but not limited to, IgM1 and IgM2. IgA is similarly further divided into subclasses, including, but not limited to, IgA1 and IgA2. Within full-length light and heavy chains, the variable and constant domains are typically joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and heavy chains also include a "D" region of about 10 additional amino acids. See, for example, FUNDAMENTAL IMMUNOLOGY (Paul, W., ed., Raven Press, 2nd ed., 1989) (incorporated in its entirety by reference for all purposes). The variable regions of each light / heavy chain pair typically form an antigen-binding site. The variable domains of naturally occurring antibodies typically exhibit the same overall structure of relatively conserved framework regions (FR) joined by three hypervariable regions, also called complementarity determining regions or CDRs. The CDRs from the two chains of each pair are typically aligned by the framework regions, which may allow binding to a specific epitope. From the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus, the variable domains of both the light and heavy chains typically include the domains FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4.
[0054] The term "CDR set" refers to a group of three CDRs present in a single variable region capable of binding to an antigen. The exact boundaries of these CDRs have been defined differently according to different systems. The system described by Chothia and coworkers (Chothia and Lesk, 1987, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-17; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:143-144; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:145-146; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:146-147; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:147-148; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:147-148; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 1999:147-148; Chothia et al., J. Immunol. 20 ... (E. al., 1989, Nature 342:877-83) found that certain subportions within the Kabat CDRs adopt nearly identical peptide backbone conformations despite great diversity at the amino acid sequence level. These subportions are designated L1, L2, and L3 or H1, H2, and H3, with "L" and "H" referring to the light and heavy chain regions, respectively. These regions can be referred to as Chothia CDRs, and have boundaries that overlap with the Kabat CDRs. Other boundaries that define CDRs that overlap with the Kabat CDRs are described by Padlan, 1995, FASEB J. 9:133-39; MacCallum, 1996, J. Mol. Biol. 262(5):732-45; and Lefranc, 2003, Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27:55-77. Still other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly follow one of the systems herein, but may nevertheless overlap with the Kabat CDRs, but may be shortened or lengthened in light of predictions or experimental findings that certain residues or groups of residues, or even entire CDRs, do not significantly affect antigen binding. The methods used herein may utilize CDRs defined according to any of these systems, although certain embodiments use Kabat or Chothia defined CDRs. Identification of predicted CDRs using amino acid sequences may be performed using methods such as those described by Martin, A. The method is well known in the art, for example, in "Protein sequence and structure analysis of antibody variable domains", Antibody Engineering, Vol. 2. Kontermann R., Dubel S. eds., Springer-Verlag, Berlin, pp. 33-51 (2010). The amino acid sequence of the heavy and / or light chain variable domains can be inspected to identify the sequences of the CDRs by other conventional methods, for example, by determining regions of sequence hypervariability by comparison with known amino acid sequences of other heavy and light chain variable regions. The numbered sequences can be aligned by eye or by using an alignment program, for example, one of the programs in the CLUSTAL suite, as described in Thompson, 1994, Nucleic Acids Res. 22:4673-80. Molecular models are conventionally used to accurately delineate the framework and CDR regions, and therefore the accurate sequence-based assignment.
[0055] The term "Fc" as used herein refers to a molecule comprising a sequence of non-antigen-binding fragments resulting from the digestion of an antibody or produced by other means, whether in monomeric or multimeric form, and may contain a hinge region. The original immunoglobulin source of native Fc is preferably of human origin and may be any of the immunoglobulins, with IgG1 and IgG2 being preferred. Fc molecules are composed of monomeric polypeptides that can be linked by covalent (i.e., disulfide bonds) and non-covalent associations into dimeric or multimeric forms. The number of intermolecular disulfide bonds between monomeric subunits of native Fc molecules ranges from 1 to 4, depending on the class (e.g., IgG, IgA, and IgE) or subclass (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgA1, and IgGA2). One example of an Fc is a disulfide-bonded dimer resulting from papain digestion of IgG. The term "native Fc" as used herein is inclusive to monomeric, dimeric and multimeric forms.
[0056] F(ab) fragments typically contain one light chain and one heavy chain V H and C H1 domain, and the V of the F(ab) fragment H -C H1 The heavy chain portion cannot form disulfide bonds with another heavy chain polypeptide. As used herein, a F(ab) fragment also refers to one light chain containing two variable domains separated by an amino acid linker, and one light chain containing two variable domains and a C separated by an amino acid linker. H1 The antibody may comprise one heavy chain containing the domain.
[0057] F(ab') fragments typically contain one light chain and one H1 and C H2 The F(ab')2 molecule comprises a portion of one heavy chain that contains an additional constant region (between the F(ab')2 domains) such that interchain disulfide bonds can form between the two heavy chains to form the F(ab')2 molecule.
[0058] The term "binding protein," as used herein, refers to a non-naturally occurring (or recombinant or engineered) molecule that specifically binds to at least one target antigen. Trispecific binding proteins of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, typically comprise four polypeptide chains that form at least three antigen-binding sites, with the first polypeptide chain having the formula: V L2 -L1-V L1 -L2-C L [I] having a structure represented by The second polypeptide chain has the formula: V H1 -L3-V H2 -L4-C H1 - Hinge-C H2 -C H3 [II] having a structure represented by The third polypeptide chain has the formula: V H3 -C H1 [III] having a structure represented by The fourth polypeptide chain has the formula: V L3 -C L [IV] having a structure represented by Where: V L1 is a first immunoglobulin light chain variable domain; V L2 is a second immunoglobulin light chain variable domain; V L3 is a third immunoglobulin light chain variable domain; V H1 is a first immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domain; V H2 is a second immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domain; V H3 is a third immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domain; C Lis an immunoglobulin light chain constant domain; C H1 is immunoglobulin C H1 a heavy chain constant domain; The hinge is C H1 and C H2 an immunoglobulin hinge region connecting the domains; L1, L2, L3 and L4 are amino acid linkers; The polypeptide of formula I and the polypeptide of formula II form a crossover light chain-heavy chain pair.
[0059] A "recombinant" molecule is one that is produced, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means.
[0060] One embodiment of the disclosure provides a binding protein having biological and immunological specificity for one to three target antigens. Another embodiment of the disclosure provides a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide chain forming such a binding protein. Another embodiment of the disclosure provides an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide chain forming such a binding protein. Yet another embodiment of the disclosure provides a host cell that expresses such a binding protein (i.e., comprises a nucleic acid molecule or vector encoding a polypeptide chain forming such a binding protein).
[0061] The term "swappability" as used herein refers to the interchangeability of variable domains within a binding protein format and with retention of folding and ultimately binding affinity. "Full swappability" refers to the interchangeability of variable domains in a polypeptide chain of formula I or a polypeptide chain of formula II while maintaining full functionality of the binding protein as evidenced by retention of binding affinity. H1 and V H2 The order of both domains, and therefore V L1 and V L2 It refers to the ability to swap (i.e. reverse) the order of domains.H and V L It should be noted that the designation simply refers to the location of the domain on a particular protein chain in the final format. For example, V H1 and V H2 is the V in the parent antibody L1 and V L2 domains, V in binding proteins H1 and V H2 Similarly, V L1 and V L2 is the V in the parent antibody H1 and V H2 domains, V in binding proteins H1 and V H2 Therefore, V H and V L The designation refers to the current location, not the original location in the parent antibody. H and V L Domains are therefore "swappable".

Linker refers to one or more amino acid residues inserted between the V and H domains to provide sufficient mobility to the light and heavy domains to fold into a crossover dual variable region immunoglobulin. The linker is inserted at the transition between the variable domains or between the variable and constant domains at the sequence level. The approximate sizes of immunoglobulin domains are well understood, allowing the transition between domains to be identified. The precise location of the domain transition can be determined by locating secondary structure elements, such as peptide stretches that do not form beta sheets or alpha-helices, as demonstrated by experimental data or as can be predicted by modeling or secondary structure prediction techniques. The linkers described herein are V L2C-terminus and V-terminus of the domain L1 L1, located on the light chain between the N-terminus of the domain; and V L1 The C-terminus and C L Located on the light chain between the N-terminus of the domains is L2.

The term "vector" includes a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it is linked. One type of vector is a "plasmid," which refers to a circular double-stranded DNA molecule into which additional DNA segments can be inserted. Another type of vector is a viral vector, in which additional DNA segments can be inserted into the viral genome. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors). Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and are thereby replicated along with the host genome. Additionally, certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as "recombinant expression vectors" (or simply, "expression vectors"). In general, expression vectors useful in recombinant DNA techniques are often in the form of plasmids. The terms "plasmid" and "vector" are sometimes used interchangeably herein, as plasmids are the most commonly used form of vector. However, the present disclosure is intended to include other forms of expression vectors that serve equivalent functions, such as viral vectors (e.g., replication-defective retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses).
[0082] The phrase "recombinant host cell" (or "host cell"), as used herein, refers to a cell into which a recombinant expression vector has been introduced. A recombinant host cell or host cell is intended to refer not only to the particular subject cell, but also to the progeny of such a cell. Such progeny may not actually be identical to the parent cell, since certain modifications may occur in successive generations, either due to mutations or environmental influences, but such cells are still included within the scope of the term "host cell" as used herein. A variety of host cell expression systems can be used to express the binding protein, including bacteria, yeast, baculovirus, and mammalian expression systems (as well as phage display expression systems). An example of a suitable bacterial expression vector is pUC19. To recombinantly express the binding protein, the host cell is transformed or transfected with one or more recombinant expression vectors carrying DNA fragments encoding the polypeptide chain of the binding protein, so that the polypeptide chain is expressed in the host cell and is preferably secreted into the medium in which the host cell is cultured, from which the binding protein can be recovered.
[0083] The term "transformation" as used herein refers to the alteration of the genetic characteristics of a cell. "Transfection" refers to a change in the DNA of a cell, and a cell is transformed when it is modified to contain new DNA. For example, a cell is transformed and genetically modified from its native state. After transformation, the transforming DNA can recombine with the cell's DNA by being physically integrated into the cell's chromosome, or can be maintained transiently as an episomal element without being replicated, or can be replicated independently as a plasmid. A cell is considered stably transformed when the DNA is replicated with the division of the cell. The term "transfection" as used herein refers to the uptake of foreign or exogenous DNA by a cell, and a cell is "transfected" when the exogenous DNA is introduced inside the cell membrane. Numerous transfection techniques are well known in the art. Using such techniques, one or more exogenous DNA molecules can be introduced into a suitable host cell.
[0084] The term "naturally occurring" as used herein, when applied to an object, refers to the fact that the object can be found in nature and has not been manipulated by humans. For example, a polynucleotide or polypeptide that can be isolated from a source in nature and exists in an organism (including viruses) that has not been intentionally modified by humans is naturally occurring. Similarly, "non-naturally occurring" as used herein refers to an object that is not found in nature or that has been structurally modified or synthesized by humans.

Stereoisomers of the 20 conventional amino acids (e.g., D-amino acids); non-natural amino acids and analogs, such as α-, α-disubstituted amino acids, N-alkylamino acids, lactic acid, and other non-conventional amino acids, may also be suitable components for the polypeptide chain of binding proteins. Examples of non-conventional amino acids include 4-hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, ε-N,N,N-trimethyllysine, ε-N-acetyllysine, O-phosphoserine, N-acetylserine, N-formylmethionine, 3-methylhistidine, 5-hydroxylysine, σ-N-methylarginine, and other similar amino acids and imino acids (e.g., 4-hydroxyproline). In the polypeptide notation used herein, the left-hand direction is the amino terminal direction and the right-hand direction is the carboxyl terminal direction, in accordance with standard usage and convention.
[0086] Naturally occurring residues can be divided into classes based on common side chain properties: (1) Hydrophobicity: Met, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Trp, Tyr, Pro; (2) Polar hydrophilic: Arg, Asn, Asp, Gln, Glu, His, Lys, Ser, Thr; (3) Aliphatic: Ala, Gly, Ile, Leu, Val, Pro; (4) Aliphatic hydrophobicity: Ala, Ile, Leu, Val, Pro; (5) Neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln; (6) Acidic: Asp, Glu; (7) Basic: His, Lys, Arg; (8) Residues affecting chain orientation: Gly, Pro; (9) Aromatic: His, Trp, Tyr, Phe; and (10) Aromatic hydrophobic: Phe, Trp, Tyr.

[0088] Those skilled in the art can use well-known techniques to determine suitable variants of the polypeptide chain of binding protein.For example, those skilled in the art can identify suitable sections of the polypeptide chain that can be changed without destroying activity by targeting regions that do not seem to be important for activity.Alternatively, those skilled in the art can identify residues and parts of molecules that are conserved between similar polypeptides.In addition, even sections that may be important for biological activity or structure can be subjected to conservative amino acid substitutions without destroying biological activity or adversely affecting polypeptide structure.
[0089] The term "patient", as used herein, includes human and animal subjects.
[0090] The term "treatment" or "treating" as used herein refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures.

[0218] Standard recombinant DNA methodology is used to construct polynucleotides encoding polypeptides that form binding proteins, incorporate these polynucleotides into recombinant expression vectors, and introduce such vectors into host cells. See, for example, Sambrook et al., 2001, MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 3rd ed.). Enzymatic reactions and purification techniques can be performed according to manufacturer's specifications as commonly accomplished in the art or as described herein. Unless specific definitions are provided, the nomenclature utilized in the context of analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry described herein, and the laboratory procedures and techniques thereof, are those well known and commonly used in the art. Similarly, conventional techniques can be used for chemical synthesis, chemical analysis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, formulation, delivery, and treatment of patients.
[0219] In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid is operably linked to a heterologous promoter to direct the transcription of the binding protein-encoding nucleic acid sequence. A promoter can refer to a nucleic acid control sequence that directs the transcription of a nucleic acid. A first nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a second nucleic acid sequence when the first nucleic acid sequence is placed in a functional relationship with the second nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter is operably linked to a binding protein-encoding sequence when the promoter affects the transcription or expression of the coding sequence. Examples of promoters include, but are not limited to, promoters derived from the genomes of viruses (such as polyomavirus, fowlpox virus, adenovirus (e.g., adenovirus 2), bovine papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, retroviruses, hepatitis B virus, and simian virus 40 (SV40)), heterologous eukaryotic promoters (such as actin promoters, immunoglobulin promoters, and heat shock promoters), CAG-promoter (Niwa et al., Gene 108(2):193-9, 1991), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK)-promoter, tetracycline-inducible promoter (Masui et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 33:e43, 2005), the lac system, the trp system, the tac system, the trc system, the major operator and promoter regions of phage lambda, the promoter of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, the promoter of yeast acid phosphatase, and the promoter of yeast alpha mating factor. A polynucleotide encoding a binding protein of the present disclosure may be under the control of a constitutive promoter, an inducible promoter, or any other suitable promoter described herein or readily recognized by one of skill in the art.
[0220] In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid is incorporated into a vector. In some embodiments, the vector is an expression vector. The expression vector may include one or more regulatory sequences operably linked to the polynucleotide to be expressed.

[0226] Optimal pharmaceutical compositions can be determined by one of skill in the art depending, for example, on the intended route of administration, delivery format, and desired dosage. Such compositions can affect the physical state, stability, rate of in vivo release, and rate of in vivo clearance of the binding protein.
[0227] The primary vehicle or carrier in a pharmaceutical composition can be either aqueous or non-aqueous in nature. For example, suitable vehicles or carriers for injection can be water, saline solution, or artificial cerebrospinal fluid, optionally supplemented with other materials common in compositions for parenteral administration. Neutral buffered saline or saline mixed with serum albumin are further exemplary vehicles. Other exemplary pharmaceutical compositions include Tris buffer at about pH 7.0-8.5, or acetate buffer at about pH 4.0-5.5, which can further include sorbitol or a suitable substitute. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the binding protein composition can be prepared for storage by mixing the selected composition having the desired purity with optional formulating agents in the form of a lyophilized cake or aqueous solution. Additionally, the binding protein can be formulated as a lyophilizate using appropriate excipients, such as sucrose.
[0228] The pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure can be selected for parenteral or subcutaneous delivery.Alternatively, the composition can be selected for inhalation or for delivery through the digestive tract, for example, orally.The manufacture of such pharmacologic acceptable compositions is within the skill of the art.
[0229] Formulation components are present in concentrations that are acceptable for the site of administration, for example, buffers are used to maintain the composition at physiological pH or slightly lower, typically within a pH range of about 5 to about 8.
[0230] When parenteral administration is intended, the therapeutic composition for use can be in the form of a pyrogen-free, parenterally acceptable, aqueous solution containing the desired binding protein in a pharma- ceutically acceptable medium.A particularly suitable medium for parenteral injection is sterile distilled water, in which the binding protein is formulated as a sterile, isotonic solution that is appropriately preserved.Yet another product can involve the formulation of the desired molecule with an agent that provides controlled or sustained release of the product that can be delivered via depot injection, such as injectable microspheres, biodegradable particles, polymeric compounds (e.g., polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid), beads, or liposomes.Hyaluronic acid can also be used, which can have the effect of promoting sustained duration in the circulation.Other suitable means for the introduction of the desired molecule include implantable drug delivery devices.
[0231] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated for inhalation.For example, the binding protein can be formulated as a dry powder for inhalation.The binding protein inhalation solution can also be formulated with a propellant for aerosol delivery.In yet another embodiment, the solution can be nebulized.
[0232] It is also contemplated that certain formulations can be administered orally.In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the binding protein administered in this manner can be formulated with or without carriers that are conventionally used in the preparation of solid dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules.For example, capsules can be designed to release the active portion of the formulation at the location in the gastrointestinal tract where bioavailability is maximized and pre-systemic degradation is minimized.Additional agents can be included to promote the absorption of binding protein.Diluents, flavorings, low melting point waxes, vegetable oils, lubricants, suspending agents, tablet disintegrating agents, and binders can also be used.
[0233] Another pharmaceutical composition can involve an effective amount of binding protein in a mixture with non-toxic excipients suitable for tablet manufacture.By dissolving tablets in sterile water or other suitable medium, the solution can be manufactured into unit dose form.Suitable excipients include, but are not limited to, inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate or bicarbonate, lactose, or calcium phosphate; or binders such as starch, gelatin, or acacia; or lubricants such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc.
[0234] Additional pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art, including formulations with binding proteins in sustained or controlled delivery formulations. Techniques for formulating various other sustained or controlled delivery means, such as liposome carriers, biodegradable microparticles or porous beads, and depot injections, are also known to those skilled in the art. Additional examples of sustained release preparations include semipermeable polymer matrices in the form of shaped articles, such as films, or microcapsules. Sustained release matrices can include polyesters, hydrogels, polylactides, copolymers of L-glutamic acid and gamma ethyl-L-glutamate, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), ethylene vinyl acetate, or poly-D(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. Sustained release compositions can also include liposomes, which can be produced by any of several methods known in the art.
[0235] Pharmaceutical compositions to be used for in vivo administration must typically be sterile. This can be accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. If sterilization using this method can be performed either prior to or after lyophilization and reconstitution. Compositions for parenteral administration can be stored in lyophilized form or in a solution. Additionally, parenteral compositions generally are placed into a container having a sterile access port, for example, an intravenous solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle.
[0236] Once the pharmaceutical composition has been formulated, it may be stored in sterile vials as a solution, suspension, gel, emulsion, solid, or as a dehydrated or lyophilized powder. Such formulations may be stored either in a ready-to-use form or in a form requiring reconstitution prior to administration (e.g., lyophilized).
[0237] The present disclosure also includes kits for producing single-dose administration units.Each kit can contain both a first container with dry protein and a second container with aqueous formulation.Kits containing single and multi-chamber pre-filled syringes (e.g., liquid syringes and lyosyringes) are also included within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0238] The effective amount of the binding protein pharmaceutical composition used therapeutically depends, for example, on the therapeutic context and purpose.Those skilled in the art will understand that the appropriate dosage level for treatment will vary depending in part on the molecule to be...
