[0002] Sequence Listing This application has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and contains a Sequence Listing, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The ASCII copy, created on November 13, 2020, is named GSO-080WO_SL.txt and is 6,925,625 bytes in size. [Background technology]
[0003] background It is recognized that MHC presents intracellularly processed protein fragments on the cell surface. In humans, MHC is called human leukocyte antigen or HLA. Specifically, MHC class I molecules are expressed on the surface of almost all nucleated cells in the body. MHC class I molecules are dimeric molecules containing a transmembrane heavy chain containing a peptide antigen-binding groove and a small extracellular chain called β2-microglobulin. MHC class I molecules present peptides derived from the degradation of cytosolic proteins by the proteasome, a multi-unit structure in the cytoplasm (Niedermann G., 2002. Curr Top Microbiol Immunol. 268:91-136; for bacterial antigen processing, see Wick MJ, and Ljunggren H G., 1999. Immunol Rev. 172:153-62). The cleaved peptides are transported into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), where they bind to the groove of the assembling class I molecule, and the resulting MHC / peptide complexes are transported to the plasma membrane to enable antigen presentation to T lymphocytes (Yewdell J W., 2001. Trends Cell Biol. 11:294-7; Yewdell J W. and Bennink J R., 2001. Curr Opin Immunol. 13:13-8). Alternatively, the cleaved peptides can be loaded onto MHC class I molecules in a TAP-independent manner, allowing for the presentation of extracellularly derived proteins through the process of cross-presentation.
[0004] MHC genes are highly polymorphic across species, containing multiple common alleles of individual genes. Therefore, a given MHC allele / peptide complex containing a particular HLA subtype and a particular peptide fragment presents a novel protein structure on the cell surface that can be targeted by novel antigen-binding proteins (e.g., TCRs or antigen-binding fragments). However, such TCR-based approaches first require the identification of the complex structure (peptide sequence and MHC subtype).
[0005] Tumor cells can express neoantigens and present them on their surface via MHC presentation. Such tumor-associated neoantigens, including novel protein structures formed by peptide-MHC subtype complexes, can be used to develop novel immunotherapy reagents for specific targeting of tumor cells. For example, tumor-associated antigens can be used to identify therapeutic antigen-binding proteins, such as TCRS, or antigen-binding fragments thereof. However, accurate identification of such neoantigens has been difficult.
[0006] Early methods have been proposed that incorporate mutation-based analysis using next-generation sequencing, RNA gene expression, and prediction of MHC binding affinity of candidate neoantigen peptides. 8 However, these proposed methods cannot model the entire epitope generation process, which involves many steps (e.g., TAP transport, proteasomal cleavage, and / or TCR recognition) in addition to gene expression and MHC binding. 9 As a result, existing methods can suffer from low positive predictive value (PPV).
[0007] Indeed, analyses of peptides presented by tumor cells conducted by several groups have shown that less than 5% of peptides predicted to be presented using gene expression and MHC binding affinity are actually found on tumor surface MHC. 10,11 This poor correlation between predicted binding and actual MHC presentation was further reinforced by the recent observation of a lack of improvement in the accuracy of predicting binding-restricted neoantigens in response to checkpoint inhibitors beyond the number of mutations alone. 12 .
[0008] This low positive predictive value (PPV) of existing methods for predicting presentation presents a problem for neoantigen-based immunotherapy design: if immunotherapies are designed using predictions with low PPV, many of them will be clinically ineffective.
[0009] Thus, there is a need for the discovery and identification of tumor-associated HLA-peptide complexes with high positive predictive value, and for the development of TCR-based immunotherapies that target such complexes. Summary of the Invention

[0093] As provided herein, an "HLA-peptide ABP," "anti-HLA-peptide ABP," or "HLA-peptide-specific ABP" is an ABP that specifically binds to an antigen HLA-peptide. ABPs include proteins that contain one or more antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to an antigen or epitope via a variable region, such as a variable region derived from a T cell (e.g., a TCR).
[0094] As used herein, "variable region" refers to a variable nucleotide sequence that results from a recombination event; for example, a variable region may include the V, J, and / or D segments of a T cell receptor (TCR) sequence from a T cell, such as an activated T cell.
[0095] The term "antigen-binding domain" refers to a portion of an ABP that can specifically bind to an antigen or epitope. The antigen-binding domain may include the CDRs of a TCR, such as αCDR1, αCDR2, αCDR3, βCDR1, βCDR2, and βCDR3. The CDRs of a TCR are described herein.
[0096] The amino acid sequence boundaries of TCR CDRs can be determined by one of skill in the art using any of a number of known numbering schemes, including, but not limited to, the IMGT specific numbering scheme described in LeFranc, M.-P, Immunol Today. 1997 Nov;18(11):509; Lefranc, M.-P., "IMGT Locus on Focus: A new section of Experimental and Clinical Immunogenetics", Exp. Clin. Immunogenet., 15, 1-7 (1998); Lefranc and Lefranc, The T Cell Receptor FactsBook; and M.-P. Lefranc / Developmental and Comparative Immunology 27 (2003) 55-77, all of which are incorporated by reference.
[0097] An "ABP fragment" comprises a portion of an intact ABP, such as the antigen-binding or variable region of the intact ABP. ABP fragments include, for example, TCR fragments.
[0098] The term "alternative scaffold" refers to a molecule in which one or more regions can be diversified to generate one or more antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to an antigen or epitope. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding domain binds to an antigen or epitope with specificity and affinity comparable to that of an ABP. Exemplary alternative scaffolds include those derived from fibronectin (e.g., Adnectin™), β-sandwich (e.g., iMab), lipocalin (e.g., Anticalin®), EETI-II / AGRP, BPTI / LACI-D1 / ITI-D2 (e.g., Kunitz domain), thioredoxin peptide aptamer, protein A (e.g., Affibody®), ankyrin repeat (e.g., DARPin), gamma-B-crystallin / ubiquitin (e.g., Affilin), CTLD3 (e.g., tetranectin), Fynomer, and (LDLR-A module) (e.g., Avimer). Further information on alternative scaffolds is provided in Binz et al., Nat. Biotechnol., 2005 23:1257-1268; Skerra, Current Opin. in Biotech., 2007 18:295-304; and Silacci et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2014, 289:14392-14398, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Alternative scaffolds are a type of ABP.
[0099] "Affinity" refers to the strength of the sum of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an ABP) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen or epitope). Unless otherwise specified, as used herein, "affinity" refers to the intrinsic binding affinity, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., an ABP and an antigen or epitope). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y is determined by the dissociation equilibrium constant (K D) The kinetic components that contribute to the dissociation equilibrium constant are described in detail below. Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology (e.g., BIACORE®) or biolayer interferometry (e.g., FORTEBIO®).
[0100] The terms "bind," "specific binding," "specifically binds," "specific," "selectively binds," and "selective" refer to binding of an ABP to a target molecule that is measurably different from nonspecific or nonselective interactions (e.g., interactions with non-target molecules) of a particular antigen (e.g., a polypeptide target) or epitope on a particular antigen. Specific binding can be measured, for example, by measuring binding to a target molecule and comparing it to binding to a non-target molecule. Specific binding can also be determined by competition with a control molecule that mimics the epitope recognized by the target molecule. Specific binding is indicated when binding of the ABP to the target molecule is competitively inhibited by the control molecule. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 50% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 40% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 30% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 20% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 10% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 1% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide. In some embodiments, the affinity of the HLA peptide ABP for the non-target molecule is less than about 0.1% of its affinity for the HLA-peptide.
[0101] As used herein, "k d ”(seconds -1 The term k ) refers to the dissociation rate constant of a particular ABP-antigen interaction. This value is off Also called value.
[0102] As used herein, "k a " (M -1 × seconds -1 The term k ) refers to the association rate constant for a particular ABP-antigen interaction. This value is on Also called value.
[0103] As used herein, "K D The term "(M)" refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a particular ABP-antigen interaction. D =k d / k a In some embodiments, the affinity of an ABP is determined by the K D For clarity, as known in the art, K D A smaller value indicates a higher affinity interaction, and K D Higher values indicate lower affinity interactions.
[0104] As used herein, "K A " (M -1 The term K ) refers to the association equilibrium constant of a particular ABP-antigen interaction. A =k a / k d .
[0105] An "immunoconjugate" is an ABP conjugated to one or more heterologous molecule(s), eg, a therapeutic agent (eg, a cytokine) or a diagnostic agent.
[0106] The terms "compete with" or "cross-compete with," when used herein in the context of two or more ABPs, indicate that the two or more ABPs compete for binding to an antigen (e.g., an HLA-peptide). In one exemplary assay, an HLA-peptide is coated on a surface and contacted with a first HLA-peptide ABP, followed by the addition of a second HLA-peptide ABP. In another exemplary assay, a first HLA-peptide ABP is coated on a surface and contacted with an HLA-peptide, followed by the addition of a second HLA-peptide ABP. In either assay, if the presence of the first HLA-peptide ABP reduces the binding of the second HLA-peptide ABP, then the ABPs compete with each other. The term "compete with" also includes combinations of ABPs in which one ABP reduces the binding of another ABP, but where no competition is observed when the ABPs are added in the reverse order. However, in some embodiments, the first and second ABPs inhibit each other's binding, regardless of the order in which they are added. In some embodiments, one ABP reduces the binding of another ABP to its antigen by at least 25%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95%. One skilled in the art can select the concentration of ABP used in a competition assay based on the affinity of the ABP for the HLA-peptide and the valency of the ABP. The assays described in this definition are exemplary, and one skilled in the art can use any suitable assay to determine whether ABPs compete with each other.Suitable assays are described, for example, in Cox et al., "Immunoassay Methods," in Assay Guidance Manual [Internet], Updated December 24, 2014 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / books / NBK92434 / ; accessed September 29, 2015); Silman et al., Cytometry, 2001, 44:30-37; and Finco et al., J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal., 2011, 54:351-358, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0107] The term "epitope" refers to the portion of an antigen that specifically binds to an ABP. Epitopes often consist of surface-accessible amino acid residues and / or sugar side chains and may have specific three-dimensional structural and charge characteristics. Conformational and nonconformational epitopes are distinguished in that binding to the former, but not the latter, can be lost in the presence of denaturing solvents. An epitope may include amino acid residues directly involved in binding and other amino acid residues not directly involved in binding. The epitope to which an ABP binds can be determined using known techniques for epitope determination, such as testing ABP binding to HLA-peptide variants with different point mutations or chimeric HLA-peptide variants.
[0108] As used herein, the term "percent identity," in the context of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have a specified percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are identical when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the sequence comparison algorithms described below (e.g., BLASTP and BLASTN or other algorithms available to those of skill in the art) or by visual inspection. Depending on the application, the percent "identity" may exist over a region of the sequences being compared, e.g., over a functional domain, or over the entire length of the two sequences being compared.
[0109] For sequence comparison, typically, one sequence serves as a reference sequence to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated as necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity of the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence based on the designated program parameters. Alternatively, sequence similarity or dissimilarity can be established by the presence or absence of specific nucleotides, or in the case of translated sequences, amino acid combinations at selected sequence positions (e.g., sequence motifs).
[0110] Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison may be achieved, for example, by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA, in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by visual inspection (see generally Ausubel et al., infra).
[0111] One example of an algorithm that is suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity is the BLAST algorithm described in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990). Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
[0112] "Conservative substitution" or "conservative amino acid substitution" refers to the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically or functionally similar amino acid.

[0133] As used herein, the term "neoantigen" refers to an antigen that has at least one alteration that distinguishes it from the corresponding wild-type antigen, for example, through a mutation in tumor cells or a tumor cell-specific post-translational modification. In some embodiments, the alteration occurs in tumor or cancer cells. In some embodiments, the alteration does not occur in non-tumor or non-cancer cells. In some embodiments, the alteration is not present in normal tissues. Neoantigens can include polypeptide or nucleotide sequences.

Mutations can also include splice variants. Tumor cell-specific post-translational modifications can include aberrant phosphorylation. Tumor cell-specific post-translational modifications can also include spliced antigens generated by the proteasome. See Liepe et al., A large fraction of HLA class I ligands are proteasome-generated spliced peptides; Science. 2016 Oct 21;354(6310):354-358. Neoantigens may be shared neoantigens if they are found among multiple patients in a particular population (e.g., a particular population of cancer patients). Neoantigens may also include HLA-peptide neoantigens.
[0134] As used herein, the terms "HLA-peptide," "pHLA," "peptide-HLA," and "peptide-HLA complex" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antigen comprising an HLA-restricted peptide complexed with an HLA class I molecule, where the HLA-restricted peptide is located in the peptide-binding groove of the α1 / α2 heterodimer portion of the HLA class I molecule. Such antigens are defined by a specific HLA-restricted peptide having a defined amino acid sequence complexed with a specific HLA class I subtype.
[0135] In some embodiments, "HLA-peptide neoantigen," "pHLA neoantigen," and "peptide-HLA neoantigen" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an HLA-peptide that contains at least one alteration that distinguishes it from the corresponding wild-type HLA-peptide antigen, e.g., via a mutation in a tumor cell or a tumor cell-specific post-translational modification. In some embodiments, the at least one alteration is in the constrained peptide sequence, such that the constrained peptide of the HLA-peptide neoantigen is distinguishable from a constrained peptide that contains the corresponding constrained peptide sequence without the alteration, e.g., the wild-type sequence.
[0136] Exemplary HLA-peptide neoantigens and shared HLA-peptide neoantigens are shown in Table A (SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-21,015), AACR GENIE results (SEQ ID NOS: 21,016-29,357), and SEQ ID NOS: 29358-29364; the corresponding genes and somatic alterations associated with each antigen are also shown.

Subjects for administration may be identified using various diagnostic methods, such as the patient selection methods described herein.
[0137] As used herein, the term "tumor antigen" is an antigen derived from a polypeptide that is known or found to be present in tumor cells or tissues of a subject but not in the subject's corresponding normal cells or tissues, or whose expression is altered in tumor cells or cancerous tissues compared to normal cells or tissues.
[0138] As used herein, the term "candidate antigen" is a mutation or other abnormality that gives rise to a sequence that may represent an antigen.
[0139] As used herein, the term "coding region" is the portion or portions of a gene that encode a protein.

[0145] As used herein, the term "frameshift mutation" is a mutation that causes an alteration in the frame of a protein.
[0146] As used herein, the term "indel" is an insertion or deletion of one or more nucleic acids.
[0147] As used herein, the term "non-stop or read-through" refers to a mutation that results in the removal of the natural stop codon.
[0148] HLA-peptide antigen The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a complex encoded by a group of linked genetic loci, collectively referred to as H-2 in mice and HLA in humans. The two major classes of MHC antigens, class I and class II, each contain a series of cell surface glycoproteins that play a role in determining tissue type and transplant compatibility. In the transplant response, cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) respond primarily to class I glycoproteins, whereas helper T cells respond primarily to class II glycoproteins.
[0149] Human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, referred to interchangeably herein as HLA class I molecules, are expressed on the surface of nearly all cells. These molecules function to present peptides, most of which are derived from endogenously synthesized proteins, to, for example, CD8+ T cells via interaction with the α-β T cell receptor. Class I MHC molecules contain heterodimers composed of a 46 kDa α chain noncovalently associated with a 12 kDa light chain β2-microglobulin. The α chain generally contains α1 and α2 domains, which form a groove for presenting HLA-restricted peptides and an α3 transmembrane domain that interacts with the CD8 coreceptor on T cells. Figure 1 depicts the general structure of a class I HLA molecule. Some TCRs can bind to MHC class I independently of the CD8 co-receptor (see, e.g., Kerry SE, Buslepp J, Cramer LA, et al. Interplay between TCR Affinity and Necessity of Coreceptor Ligation: High-Affinity Peptide-MHC / TCR Interaction Overcomes Lack of CD8 Engagement. Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md: 1950). 2003;171(9):4493-4503).
[0150] Class I MHC-restricted peptides (also referred to herein interchangeably as HLA-restricted antigens, HLA-restricted peptides, antigenic peptides, MHC-restricted antigens, restricted peptides, or peptides) typically bind to the α1-α2 groove of the heavy chain via approximately two or three anchor residues that interact with the corresponding binding pocket of the MHC molecule. The β-2 microglobulin chain plays a critical role in intracellular trafficking, peptide binding, and structural stability of MHC class I. For most class I molecules, the formation of a heterotrimeric complex of the MHC class I heavy chain, peptide (self, non-self, and / or antigenic), and β2 microglobulin results in protein maturation and transport to the cell surface.
[0151] Binding of a given HLA subtype to an HLA-restricted peptide results in the formation of a complex with a unique and novel surface that can be specifically recognized by an ABP, for example, a TCR on a T cell.
[0152] Thus, provided herein are HLA-peptide antigens that include specific HLA-restricted peptides having defined amino acid sequences that complex with specific HLA subtypes.
[0153] The HLA-peptide antigens identified herein can be useful for cancer immunotherapy. In some embodiments, the HLA-peptide targets identified herein are presented on the surface of tumor cells. The HLA-peptide antigens identified herein can be expressed by tumor cells of human subjects. The HLA-peptide antigens identified herein can be expressed by tumor cells in a population of human subjects. For example, the HLA-peptide antigens identified herein can be shared HLA-peptide antigens that are commonly expressed in a population of human subjects with cancer.
[0154] The HLA-peptide antigens identified herein may have a prevalence of individual tumor types, which may be approximately 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, 101%, 102%, 103%, 104%, 105%, 106%, 107%, 108%, 109%, It can be 5%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. The prevalence of individual tumor types can be approximately 0.1% to 100%, 0.2 to 50%, 0.5 to 25%, or 1 to 10%.
[0155] Exemplary HLA class I subtypes of pHLA neoantigens In humans, many MHC haplotypes exist (interchangeably referred to herein as MHC subtypes, HLA subtypes, MHC types, and HLA types). Exemplary HLA subtypes include, by way of example only, 2-digit, 4-digit, 6-digit, and 8-digit subtypes. A complete list of HLA class alleles can be found at http: / / hla.alleles.org / alleles / . For example, a complete list of HLA class I alleles can be found at http: / / hla.alleles.org / alleles / class1.html. Exemplary HLA class I subtypes include any of the HLA subtypes disclosed in Table A (see SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-21,015), in the AACR GENIE results (see SEQ ID NOS: 21,016-29,357), and in SEQ ID NOS: 29358-29364 disclosed herein. The neoantigens in Table A and the AACR GENIE results are disclosed in PCT / US2019 / 033830, filed May 23, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0156] Exemplary HLA-Restricted Peptides An HLA-restricted peptide (interchangeably referred to herein as a "restricted peptide") can be a peptide fragment of a tumor-associated neoantigen, e.g., a shared neoantigen. The peptide fragment can include any of the amino acid sequences disclosed in Table A (see SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-21,015), in the AACR GENIE results (see SEQ ID NOS: 21,016-29,357), and in SEQ ID NOS: 29358-29364 disclosed herein. The neoantigens of Table A and the AACR GENIE results are disclosed in PCT / US2019 / 033830, filed May 23, 2019, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0157] Thus, disclosed herein are isolated peptides containing tumor-specific mutations identified by the methods disclosed herein, peptides containing known tumor-specific mutations, and mutant polypeptides or fragments thereof identified by the methods disclosed herein. Neoantigen peptides can be described in the context of their coding sequences, and neoantigens include nucleotide sequences (e.g., DNA or RNA) that encode the relevant polypeptide sequence.
[0158] Also disclosed herein are peptides, such as restriction peptides derived from any polypeptide known or found to have altered expression in tumor cells or cancerous tissues compared to normal cells or tissues, for example, any polypeptide known or found to be abnormally expressed in tumor cells or cancerous tissues compared to normal cells or tissues. Suitable polypeptides from which restriction peptides can be derived can be found, for example, in the COSMIC database. COSMIC organizes comprehensive information on somatic mutations in human cancers. In some embodiments, the restriction peptide comprises a tumor-specific mutation.
[0159] The one or more constrained peptides may include at least one of the following: a binding affinity to MHC with an IC50 value of less than 1000 nM for MHC class I peptides 8-15, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 amino acids in length, the presence of a sequence motif within or near the peptide that promotes proteasomal cleavage, and the presence of a sequence motif that promotes TAP transport.
[0160] The constrained peptides may have a size of about 5, about 6, about 7, about 8, about 9, about 10, about 11, about 12, about 13, about 14, or about 15 amino acid residues, or any range derivable therein. In certain embodiments, the constrained peptides have a size of about 8, about 9, about 10, about 11, or about 12 amino acid molecule residues. The constrained peptides may be about 5-15 amino acids in length, preferably about 7-13 amino acids in length, or more preferably about 8-12 amino acids in length.
[0161] Exemplary Shared HLA-Peptide Neoantigens Exemplary shared HLA-peptide neoantigens are shown in Table A (see SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-21,015), the AACR GENIE results (see SEQ ID NOS: 21,016-29,357), and SEQ ID NOS: 29358-29364 disclosed herein. The neoantigens in Table A and the AACR GENIE results are disclosed in PCT / US2019 / 033830, filed May 23, 2019, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0162] One or more HLA-peptide neoantigens may be presented on the surface of the tumor.
[0163] One or more HLA-peptide neoantigens may be immunogenic in a tumor-bearing subject, for example, capable of eliciting a T-cell or B-cell response in the subject.
[0164] If necessary, longer peptides can be designed in several ways. In some cases, when the potential for peptide presentation on HLA alleles is predicted or known, longer peptides can consist of either: (1) individual presented peptides with 2–5 amino acid extensions to the N- and C-termini of the corresponding gene product; or (2) concatenation of part or all of the presented peptide with the respective extension sequence. In other cases, when sequencing reveals the presence of long (>10 residues) neoepitope sequences present in the tumor (e.g., due to frameshifts, readthrough, or intron inclusion leading to new peptide sequences), longer peptides can consist of: 3) entire stretches of novel tumor-specific amino acids (thereby avoiding the need for computational or in vitro test-based selection of shorter peptides for strongest HLA presentation). In both cases, using longer peptides allows for endogenous processing by patient cells, potentially leading to more effective antigen presentation and induction of T cell responses.
[0165] Antigenic peptides and polypeptides can be presented on HLA proteins. In some embodiments, antigenic peptides and polypeptides are presented on HLA proteins with higher affinity than wild-type peptides. In some embodiments, the antigenic peptide or polypeptide can have an IC50 of at least 5000 nM or less, at least 1000 nM or less, at least 500 nM or less, at least 250 nM or less, at least 200 nM or less, at least 150 nM or less, at least 100 nM or less, or at least 50 nM or less.
[0166] In some embodiments, the antigenic peptides and polypeptides do not induce an autoimmune response and / or do not induce immune tolerance when administered to a subject.
[0167] Compositions containing at least two or more antigenic peptides are also provided. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least two distinct peptides. The at least two distinct peptides may be derived from the same polypeptide. Distinct polypeptides mean that the peptides vary in length, amino acid sequence, or both. The peptides may be derived from any polypeptide known or found to contain tumor-specific mutations, or any polypeptide known or found to have altered expression in tumor cells or cancerous tissues compared to normal cells or tissues, e.g., any polypeptide known or found to be aberrantly expressed in tumor cells or cancerous tissues compared to normal cells or tissues. Suitable polypeptides from which antigenic peptides can be derived can be found, for example, in the COSMIC database or the AACR Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange (GENIE) database. COSMIC organizes comprehensive information on somatic mutations in human cancers. AACR GENIE aggregates clinical-grade cancer genomic data and associates it with clinical outcomes from tens of thousands of cancer patients. The peptides include tumor-specific mutations. In some embodiments, the tumor-specific mutation is a driver mutation of a particular cancer type.
[0168] Antigenic peptides and polypeptides with desired activities or properties can be modified to provide certain desired attributes, such as improved pharmacological properties, while increasing or at least retaining substantially all of the biological activity of the unmodified peptide for binding to desired MHC molecules and activating appropriate T cells. For example, antigenic peptides and polypeptides can undergo various changes, such as conservative or non-conservative substitutions, which may provide certain advantages in their use, such as improved MHC binding, stability, or presentation. Conservative substitutions refer to the replacement of an amino acid residue with another that is biologically and / or chemically similar, for example, a hydrophobic residue for another, or a polar residue for another. Substitutions include combinations such as Gly, Ala; Val, Ile, Leu, Met; Asp, Glu; Asn, Gln; Ser, Thr; Lys, Arg; and Phe, Tyr. The effects of single amino acid substitutions can also be examined using D-amino acids. Such modifications may be carried out using well-known peptide synthesis procedures, as described, for example, in Merrifield, Science 232:341-347 (1986), Barany & Merrifield, The Peptides, Gross & Meienhofer, eds. (NY, Academic Press), pp. 1-284 (1979); and Stewart & Young, Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, (Rockford, Ill., Pierce), 2nd Ed. (1984).
[0169] Modification of peptides and polypeptides with various amino acid mimetics or unnatural amino acids can be particularly useful for increasing the stability of peptides and polypeptides in vivo. Stability can be analyzed in a number of ways. For example, peptidases and various biological media, such as human plasma and serum, have been used to test stability. See, for example, Verhoef et al., Eur. J. Drug Metab Pharmacokin. 11:291-302 (1986). Peptide half-life can be conveniently determined using a 25% human serum (v / v) assay. The protocol generally follows: Pooled human serum (type AB, non-heat-inactivated) is defatted by centrifugation before use. The serum is then diluted to 25% with RPMI tissue culture medium and used to test peptide stability. At predetermined time intervals, a small amount of the reaction solution is removed and added to either 6% aqueous trichloroacetic acid or ethanol. The cloudy reaction sample is cooled (4°C) for 15 minutes and then spun to pellet precipitated serum proteins. The presence of the peptide is then confirmed by reverse-phase HPLC using stability-specific chromatographic conditions.
[0170] Peptides and polypeptides can be modified to provide desired attributes other than improved serum half-life. For example, the ability of a peptide to induce CTL activity can be enhanced by linking it to a sequence containing at least one epitope capable of inducing a T helper cell response. The immunogenic peptide / T helper conjugate can be linked by a spacer molecule. The spacer is usually composed of relatively small, neutral molecules, such as amino acids or amino acid mimetics, that are substantially uncharged under physiological conditions. Spacers are typically selected from, for example, Ala, Gly, or other neutral spacers of nonpolar or neutral polar amino acids. It will be understood that the optional spacer need not be composed of the same residues and can therefore be a hetero- or homo-oligomer. If present, the spacer will typically be at least one or two residues, more usually three to six residues. Alternatively, the peptide can be linked to the T helper peptide without a spacer.
[0171] The antigenic peptide can be linked to a T helper peptide either directly or via a spacer at either the amino or carboxy terminus of the peptide. The amino terminus of either the antigenic peptide or the T helper peptide can be acylated. Exemplary T helper peptides include tetanus toxoid 830-843, influenza 307-319, malaria circumsporozoite 382-398, and 378-389.
[0172] Proteins or peptides can be produced by any technique known to those of skill in the art, including expressing the protein, polypeptide, or peptide by standard molecular biology techniques, isolating the protein or peptide from a natural source, or chemically synthesizing the protein or peptide. Nucleotide and protein, polypeptide, and peptide sequences corresponding to various genes have been previously disclosed and can be found in computerized databases known to those of skill in the art. One such database is the Genbank and GenPept databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Institutes of Health website. The coding regions of known genes can be amplified and / or expressed using the techniques disclosed herein or as known to those of skill in the art. Alternatively, various commercially available preparations of proteins, polypeptides, and peptides are known to those of skill in the art.
[0173] In some embodiments, an antigen may comprise a nucleic acid (e.g., a polynucleotide) encoding an antigenic peptide or a portion thereof, which may be, for example, DNA, cDNA, PNA, CNA, RNA (e.g., mRNA), either single-stranded and / or double-stranded, or a naturally occurring or stabilized form of a polynucleotide, e.g., a polynucleotide having a phosphorothioate backbone, or a combination thereof, and may or may not contain introns.
[0174] A further embodiment provides an expression vector capable of expressing a polypeptide or a portion thereof. Expression vectors for different cell types are well known in the art and can be selected without undue experimentation. Generally, DNA is inserted into an expression vector, such as a plasmid, in the appropriate orientation and in the correct reading frame for expression. If necessary, the DNA can be linked to appropriate transcriptional and translational regulatory control nucleotide sequences recognized by the intended host; such controls are generally available in expression vectors. The vector is then introduced into the host using standard techniques. Guidance can be found, for example, in Sambrook et al. (1989) Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY.
[0175] HLA class I molecules that do not associate with a tethered peptide ligand are generally unstable. Therefore, the association of a tethered peptide with the α1 / α2 groove of an HLA molecule may stabilize the noncovalent association of the β2-microglobulin subunit of an HLA subtype with the α subunit of an HLA subtype.
[0176] The stability of the non-covalent association between the β2 microglobulin subunit of an HLA subtype and the α subunit of an HLA subtype can be determined by any suitable means.For example, such stability can be evaluated by dissolving insoluble aggregates of HLA molecules in a high concentration of urea (for example, about 8M urea), and determining the ability of the HLA molecules to refold in the presence of a constrained peptide during urea removal, for example, by dialysis.Such refolding approaches are described, for example, in Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA Vol.89, pp.3429-3433, April 1992, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
[0177] In another example, such stability can be assessed using conditional HLA class I ligands. Conditional HLA class I ligands are generally designed as short constrained peptides that bind to the α1 / α2 groove of HLA molecules, thereby stabilizing the association of the β2 and α subunits of HLA class I molecules, and contain one or more amino acid modifications that allow the constrained peptide to cleave upon exposure to a conditional stimulus. Upon cleavage of the conditional ligand, the β2 and α subunits of the HLA molecule dissociate unless the conditional ligand is replaced with a constrained peptide that binds to the α1 / α2 groove and stabilizes the HLA molecule. Conditional ligands can be designed by introducing amino acid modifications into known or predicted high-affinity HLA-peptide ligands. Furthermore, for HLA alleles for which structural information is available, side chain water accessibility can be exploited to select positions for introducing amino acid modifications. The use of conditional HLA ligands can be advantageous because it allows batch preparation of stable HLA-peptide complexes, which can then be used to investigate test constrained peptides in a high-throughput manner.Conditional HLA class I ligands and methods for producing them are described, for example, in Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 2008 Mar 11;105(10): 3831-3836; Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 2008 Mar 11;105(10): 3825-3830; J Exp Med. 2018 May 7;215(5): 1493-1504; Choo, JAL et al. Bioorthogonal cleavage and exchange of major histocompatibility complex ligands by employing azobenzene-containing peptides. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 53, 13390-13394 (2014); Amore, A. et al.

[0178] Thus, in some embodiments, the ability of HLA-restricted peptides described herein, e.g., in Table A (SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-21,015), in the AACR GENIE results (SEQ ID NOS: 21,016-29,357), or in SEQ ID NOS: 29358-29364, to stabilize the association of the β2 and α subunits of HLA molecules is assessed by performing a conditional ligand-mediated exchange reaction and an HLA stability assay. HLA stability can be assayed using any suitable method, including, for example, mass spectrometry, immunoassays (e.g., ELISA), size exclusion chromatography, HLA multimer staining followed by flow cytometric evaluation of T cells, etc.
[0179] Other exemplary methods for evaluating the stability of the non-covalent association between the β2 microglobulin subunit of HLA subtype and the α subunit of HLA subtype include peptide exchange using dipeptide.Peptide exchange using dipeptide is described in, for example, Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 2013 Sep 17,110(38):15383-8; Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 2015 Jan 6,112(1):202-7, all of which are incorporated by reference.
[0180] The HLA-peptide antigen may be isolated and / or in a substantially pure form. For example, the HLA-peptide antigen may be isolated from its natural environment or may be produced by a technological process. In some cases, the HLA-peptide antigen is provided in a form that is substantially free of other peptides or proteins.
[0181] The HLA-peptide antigen may be provided in a soluble form, or optionally, as a recombinant HLA-peptide antigen complex. Those skilled in the art may use any suitable method for producing and purifying recombinant HLA-peptide antigens. Suitable methods include, for example, the use of E. coli expression systems, insect cells, etc. Other methods include, for example, synthetic production using cell-free systems. An exemplary suitable cell-free system is described in WO2017089756, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
[0182] Also provided herein are compositions comprising HLA-peptide antigens.
[0183] In some cases, the composition comprises an HLA-peptide target bound to a solid support. Examples of solid supports include, but are not limited to, beads, wells, membranes, tubes, columns, plates, Sepharose, magnetic beads, and chips. Exemplary solid supports are described, for example, in Catalysts 2018, 8, 92; doi:10.3390 / catal8020092, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
[0184] The HLA-peptide antigen can be bound to the solid support by any suitable method known in the art. Optionally, the HLA-peptide antigen is covalently bound to the solid support.
[0185] In some cases, the HLA-peptide antigen is bound to the solid support via an affinity binding pair. Affinity binding pairs generally involve specific interactions between two molecules. A ligand having affinity for its binding partner molecule may be covalently bound to the solid support, and the ligand is then used as a bait for immobilization. Common affinity binding pairs include, for example, streptavidin and biotin, avidin and biotin, and polyhistidine tags with metal ions such as copper, nickel, zinc, and cobalt. Thus, the present specification provides a composition comprising the HLA-peptide antigen disclosed herein, wherein the HLA-peptide antigen is covalently bound to an affinity tag.
[0186] The HLA-peptide antigen may comprise a detectable label. In some embodiments, the HLA-peptide antigen is complexed with a detectable label. In some embodiments, the detectable label comprises a β2-microglobulin binding molecule, for example, a labeled antibody, for example, a fluorochrome-labeled antibody.
[0187] Also referred to herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising an HLA-peptide antigen.
[0188] The composition containing the HLA-peptide target may be a pharmaceutical composition. Such a composition may contain multiple HLA-peptide antigens. Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions are described herein. The composition may be capable of eliciting an immune response. The composition may also include an adjuvant. Examples of suitable adjuvants include, but are not limited to, 1018 ISS, alum, aluminum salts, Amplivax, AS15, BCG, CP-870, 893, CpG7909, CyaA, dSLIM, GM-CSF, IC30, IC31, imiquimod, ImuFact IMP321, IS patch, ISS, ISCOMATRIX, JuvImmune, LipoVac, MF59, monophosphoryl lipid A, Montanide IMS 1312, Montanide ISA 206, and Montanide ISA. Adjuvants include 50V, Montanide ISA-51, OK-432, OM-174, OM-197-MP-EC, ONTAK, PepTel vector system, PLG microparticles, resiquimod, SRL172, virosomes and other virus-like particles, YF-17D, VEGF trap, R848, β-glucan, Pam3Cys, and Aquila's QS21 Stimulon (Aquillia Biotech, Worcester, Mass., USA), which contains saponins, mycobacterial extracts, synthetic bacterial cell wall mimics, and other proprietary adjuvants, such as those derived from Ribi's Detox, Quill, or Superfos. Adjuvants such as incomplete Freund's or GM-CSF are also useful. Several immunological adjuvants specific for dendritic cells and their preparation have been previously described (e.g., MF59). Cytokines may also be used.Several cytokines are directly involved in influencing dendritic cell migration to lymphoid tissues (e.g., TNF-α), promoting the maturation of dendritic cells into efficient antigen-presenting cells for T lymphocytes (e.g., GM-CSF, IL-1, and IL-4) (U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,589, specifically incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and acting as immune adjuvants (e.g., IL-12) (Gabrilovich DI, et al., J Immunother Emphasis Tumor Immunol. 1996(6):414-418). Additionally, the surface expression of intracellular proteins and the processing of peptides into HLA for presentation on HLA can be enhanced by interferon-γ (IFN-γ). See, e.g., York IA, Goldberg AL, Mo XY, Rock KL. Proteolysis and class I major histocompatibility complex antigen presentation. Immunol Rev. 1999;172:49-66; and Rock KL, Goldberg AL. Degradation of cell proteins and the generation of MHC class I-presented peptides. Ann Rev Immunol. 1999;17:12. 739-779, all of which are incorporated by reference.
[0189] Also provided herein are host cells comprising the HLA-peptide antigens disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the host cells comprise a polynucleotide encoding an HLA-restricted peptide defined by the HLA-peptide antigen. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is heterologous to the host cell. In some embodiments, the host cell does not contain endogenous MHC. In some embodiments, the host cell comprises exogenous HLA class I molecules. In some embodiments, the host cell is a K562 or A375 cell. In some embodiments, the host cell is a cultured cell derived from a tumor cell line. In some embodiments, the tumor cell line expresses the HLA subtype defined by the HLA-peptide antigen.
[0190] Also provided herein is a cell culture system comprising the host cells and cell culture medium disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the host cells express an HLA class I subtype defined by an HLA-peptide antigen, and the cell culture medium comprises a restricted peptide defined by the HLA-peptide antigen.
[0191] ABP Also provided herein are ABPs that specifically bind to the HLA-peptide antigens disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the ABPs disclosed herein specifically bind to HLA-peptide neoantigens comprising an HLA-restricted peptide complexed with an HLA class I molecule, wherein the HLA-restricted peptide is located in the peptide-binding groove of the α1 / α2 heterodimer portion of the HLA class I molecule, wherein the HLA class I molecule and the HLA-restricted peptide are each selected from the HLA-peptide neoantigens set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-29,364, and the ABP comprises a TCR or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. For example, in the case of the ABPs disclosed herein, the targets of the ABP are an HLA class I molecule and an associated HLA-restricted peptide, each selected from a single HLA-peptide neoantigen set forth in any one of the foregoing SEQ ID NOS: i.e., the HLA class I molecule and the HLA-restricted peptide are each selected from the same SEQ ID NOS. For example, an ABP targeting SEQ ID NO: 19865 will bind to HLA-A*11:01 in a complex with a restriction peptide of the sequence VVVGADGVGK.
[0192] HLA-peptide neoantigens can be expressed on the surface of any suitable target cell, including tumor cells.
[0193] In some embodiments, the ABP specifically binds to a complex comprising HLA and an HLA-restricted peptide (HLA-peptide), e.g., derived from a tumor. In some embodiments, the ABP does not bind to HLA in the absence of the HLA-restricted peptide. In some embodiments, the ABP binds to tumor cells that present human MHC in complex with an HLA-restricted peptide, optionally the HLA-restricted peptide being a tumor antigen that characterizes the cancer. In some aspects, the ABP binds to a complex comprising HLA and an HLA-restricted peptide when naturally presented on a cell, such as a tumor cell.
[0194] ABPs can bind to each portion of the HLA-peptide complex (i.e., the HLA and the peptide representing each portion of the complex), and when bound together, create new targets and protein surfaces for interaction and binding with the ABP, distinct from the surfaces presented by the peptide alone or the HLA subtype alone. Generally, the new targets and protein surfaces formed by HLA binding to the peptide do not exist in the absence of the portions of the HLA-peptide complex. In some embodiments, the ABP binds to the HLA-peptide neoantigen through at least one contact point with an HLA class I molecule and at least one contact point with the HLA-restricted peptide.
[0195] In some embodiments, the ABPs provided herein modulate binding of an HLA-peptide to one or more ligands of the HLA-peptide.
[0196] In more specific embodiments, the ABP specifically binds to a neo-antigen listed in Table 5A. In more specific embodiments, the ABP specifically binds to a neo-antigen listed in Table 5B. In more specific embodiments, the ABP specifically binds to a neo-antigen listed in Table 6. In more specific embodiments, the ABP specifically binds to a neo-antigen listed in Table 7.
[0197] In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-restricted peptide comprises a RAS mutation. In some embodiments of the ABP, the RAS mutation is a RAS G12 mutation. RAS may be KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS. In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-restricted peptide comprises a RAS G12 mutation. In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-restricted peptide comprises an NRAS G12 mutation. In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-restricted peptide comprises an HRAS G12 mutation. Because amino acid positions 1-50 of HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS are identical, one skilled in the art will understand that an HLA class I-restricted peptide comprising a RAS G12 mutation corresponds to KRAS G12, NRAS G12, and HRAS G12 mutations. By way of example only, SEQ ID NO: 14954, described as a KRAS G12C neoantigen, and SEQ ID NO: 14955, described as a NRAS G12C neoantigen, both have the same HLA-peptide pair (HLA-A*02:01_KLVVVGACGV). Thus, SEQ ID NOs: 14954 and 14955 describe the same KRAS / NRAS / HRAS G12C HLA-peptide neoantigen.
[0198] In some embodiments, the G12 mutation is a G12C, G12D, G12V, or G12A mutation. In some embodiments, the HLA-restricted peptide comprises a RAS G12 mutation and the HLA class I molecule is selected from HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*11:01, HLA-A*31:01, HLA-C*01:02, and HLA-A*03:01.
[0199] In certain embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-peptide neoantigen is selected from the following: a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide Lys Leu Val Val Val Gly Ala Cys Gly Val; a RAS_G12D MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Asp Gly Val Gly Lys; a RAS_G12D MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Gly Ala Asp Gly Val Gly Lys; a RAS_G12V MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys; and a RAS_G12V MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*31:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys. MHC class I antigens; RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys; RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-C*01:02 and the restriction peptide Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys Ser Ala Leu; and RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-A*03:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys.
[0200] In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-peptide neoantigen is selected from the following: a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide Lys Leu Val Val Val Gly Ala Cys Gly Val; a RAS_G12D MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Asp Gly Val Gly Lys; a RAS_G12D MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Gly Ala Asp Gly Val Gly Lys; a RAS_G12V MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys; or a RAS_G12V MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*31:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys. MHC class I antigens; RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys; RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-C*01:02 and the restriction peptide Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys Ser Ala Leu; and RAS_G12V MHC class I antigens comprising HLA-A*03:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys.
[0201] In some embodiments of the ABP, the HLA-peptide neoantigen is selected from: a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide LysLeuValValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal; a RAS_G12D MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide ValValValGlyAlaAspGlyValGlyLys; and a RAS_G12V MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide ValValValGlyAlaValGlyValGlyLys. In some embodiments of the ABP, the antigen comprises HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide LysLeuValValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal. In some embodiments of the ABP, the antigen comprises HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide ValValValGlyAlaAspGlyValGlyLys. In some embodiments of the ABP, the antigen comprises HLA-A*11:01 and the restriction peptide Val Val Val Gly Ala Val Gly Val Gly Lys.
[0202] In some embodiments of an ABP that binds to a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*02:01 and the constraint peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal, the ABP binds to such a RAS_G12 MHC class I antigen with higher affinity than a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising the constraint peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal and a different HLA subtype. In some embodiments, the ABP binds to such a RAS_G12 MHC class I antigen with higher affinity than a RAS_G12 MHC class I antigen comprising the constraint peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal and a different HLA-A2 subtype. In some embodiments, the ABP does not bind to a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising the constraint peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal and a different HLA-A2 subtype.
[0203] In some embodiments of ABPs that bind to antigens containing a specific RAS G12 mutation, the ABP does not bind to the specific antigen with lower affinity than antigens containing a different RAS G12 mutation. For example, an ABP that binds to a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen containing HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal does not bind to that RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen with lower affinity than antigens containing a different RAS G12 mutation. In some embodiments of ABPs that bind to antigens containing a specific RAS G12 mutation, the ABP binds to the specific antigen with higher affinity than antigens containing a different RAS G12 mutation. For example, an ABP that binds to a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen containing HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide LysLeuValValGlyAlaCysGlyVal may bind to the RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen with higher affinity than antigens containing a different RAS G12 mutation. In some embodiments, an ABP binds to a RAS_G12C MHC class I antigen comprising HLA-A*02:01 and the restriction peptide Lys Leu Val Val Val Gly Ala Cys Gly Val with higher affinity than to an antigen comprising the restriction peptide KLVVVGAVGV and an HLA-A2 molecule. In certain embodiments, such an ABP does not bind to an antigen comprising the restriction peptide KLVVVGAVGV and an HLA-A2 molecule.
[0204] In some embodiments, the higher affinity is at least 2-fold, at least 5-fold, or at least 10-fold.
[0205] Affinity differences can be determined by any means known in the art, hi some embodiments, such affinity differences are assessed by MSD-ECL, SPR, BLI, or flow cytometry.
[0206] In some embodiments, the ABP is an ABP that competes with the exemplary ABPs provided herein. In some aspects, the ABP that competes with the exemplary ABPs provided herein binds to the same epitope as the exemplary ABPs provided herein.
[0207] In some embodiments, the ABPs described herein are referred to herein as "variants." In some embodiments, variants are derived from any of the sequences provided herein with one or more conservative amino acid substitutions. Conservative amino acid substitutions are described herein. In preferred embodiments, the non-conservative amino acid substitutions do not interfere with or inhibit the biological activity of the functional variant. In even more preferred embodiments, the non-conservative amino acid substitutions enhance the biological activity of the functional variant, such that the biological activity of the functional variant is improved compared to the parent ABP.
[0208] TCR In one aspect, an ABP provided herein, e.g., an ABP that specifically binds to an HLA-peptide target disclosed herein, comprises a T cell receptor (TCR). The TCR may be isolated and purified.
[0209] In the majority of T cells, the TCR is a heterodimeric polypeptide consisting of an α (α) chain and a β (β) chain, encoded by TRA and TRB, respectively. The α chain generally includes an α variable region encoded by TRAV, an α joining region encoded by TRAJ, and an α constant region encoded by TRAC. The β chain generally includes a β variable region encoded by TRBV, a β diversity region encoded by TRBD, a β joining region encoded by TRBJ, and a β constant region encoded by TRBC. The TCR-α chain is generated by V-J recombination of the αV and J segments, while the β chain receptor is generated by V(D)J recombination of the βV, D, and J segments. Additional TCR diversity results from junctional diversity. Within each junction, several bases (called N and P nucleotides) can be deleted or added. In a minority of T cells, the TCR includes a γ chain and a δ chain. The TCR γ chain is generated by V(D)J rearrangement, and the TCR δ chain is generated by V(D)J rearrangement (Kenneth Murphy, Paul Travers, and Mark Walport, Janeway's Immunology 7th edition, Garland Science, 2007, incorporated by reference in its entirety). The antigen-binding site of a TCR generally comprises six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). The α chain contributes three CDRs: alpha ("α") CDR1, αCDR2, and αCDR3. Similarly, the β chain contributes three CDRs: beta ("β") CDR1, βCDR2, and βCDR3. In general, αCDR3 and βCDR3 are the regions most affected by V(D)J rearrangement and account for much of the variation in the TCR repertoire.
[0210] The TCR can specifically recognize an HLA-peptide target, such as those disclosed in Table 7, Table A, AACR GENIE results, or SEQ ID NOs: 29358-29364 (SEQ ID NOs: 10,755-29,364) described herein. Therefore, the TCR can be an ABP that specifically binds to an HLA-peptide. The TCR can be soluble, similar to antibodies secreted by B cells, for example. Alternatively, the TCR can be membrane-bound on cells such as T cells or natural killer (NK) cells. Therefore, the TCR can be used in contexts corresponding to soluble antibodies and / or membrane-bound CARs.
[0211] Any TCR disclosed herein may comprise an alpha variable ("V") segment, an alpha joining ("J") segment, optionally an alpha constant region, a beta variable ("V") segment, optionally a beta diversity ("D") segment, a beta joining ("J") segment, and optionally a beta constant region.
[0212] In some embodiments, the TCR or CAR is a recombinant TCR or CAR. The recombinant TCR or CAR may comprise any of the TCRs identified herein, but also include one or more modifications. Exemplary modifications, such as amino acid substitutions, are described herein. The amino acid substitutions described herein can be made with reference to the IMGT nomenclature and amino acid numbering, as referenced at www.imgt.org.
[0213] The recombinant TCR or CAR may be a human TCR or CAR that contains a fully human sequence, e.g., a naturally occurring human sequence. The recombinant TCR or CAR may retain its naturally occurring human variable domain sequence, but include modifications to the alpha constant region, the beta constant region, or both the alpha and beta constant regions. Such modifications to the TCR constant region may improve TCR assembly and expression for TCR gene therapy, for example, by driving preferential pairing of exogenous TCR chains.
[0214] In some embodiments, the α and β constant regions are modified by replacing the murine constant region sequences with the entire human constant region sequences. Such "murinized" TCRs and methods for making them are described in Cancer Res. 2006 Sep 1;66(17):8878-86, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0215] In some embodiments, the α and β constant regions are modified by replacing specific human residues with mouse residues (human-to-mouse amino acid exchange), making one or more amino acid substitutions in the human TCR α constant (TRAC) region, TCR β constant (TRBC) region, or TRAC and TRAB regions. The one or more amino acid substitutions in the TRAC region can include a Ser substitution at residue 90, an Asp substitution at residue 91, a Val substitution at residue 92, a Pro substitution at residue 93, or any combination thereof. The one or more amino acid substitutions in the human TRBC region can include a Lys substitution at residue 18, an Ala substitution at residue 22, an Ile substitution at residue 133, a His substitution at residue 139, or any combination thereof. Such targeted amino acid substitutions are described in J Immunol June 1, 2010, 184 (11) 6223-6231, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
[0216] In some embodiments, human TRAC contains an Asp substitution at residue 210, and human TRBC contains a Lys substitution at residue 134. Such substitutions may facilitate salt bridge formation between the α and β chains and TCR interchain disulfide bond formation. These targeted substitutions are described in J Immunol June 1, 2010, 184 (11) 6232-6241, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0217] In some embodiments, the human TRAC and human TRBC regions are modified to contain an introduced cysteine that can improve preferential pairing of exogenous TCR chains by forming an additional disulfide bond. For example, human TRAC can contain a Cys substitution at residue 48, and human TRBC can contain a Cys substitution at residue 57. This is described in Cancer Res. 2007 Apr 15;67(8):3898-903 and Blood. 2007 Mar 15;109(6):2331-8, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0218] In recombinant TCRs or CARs, the α and β chains may also contain other modifications.
[0219] In some embodiments, the α and β chains are modified by linking the extracellular domains of the α and β chains to a complete human CD3ζ (CD3-ζ) molecule. Such modifications are described in J Immunol June 1, 2008, 180(11)7736-7746; Gene Ther. 2000 Aug;7(16):1369-77; and Open Gene Therapy Journal, 2011, 4:11-22, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0220] In some embodiments, the transmembrane region of the alpha chain is modified by introducing hydrophobic amino acid substitutions, as described in J Immunol June 1, 2012, 188(11)5538-5546, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0221] The α or β chain can be modified by modifying any one of the N-glycosylation sites within the amino acid sequence, as described in J Exp Med. 2009 Feb 16;206(2):463-475, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0222] The α and β chains can each contain a dimerization domain, e.g., a heterologous dimerization domain. Such heterologous domains can be leucine zippers, 5H3 domains, or hydrophobic proline-rich counter domains, or other similar domains, as known in the art. In one example, the α and β chains can be modified by introducing 30-mer segments into the carboxyl termini of the α and β extracellular domains, so that the segments selectively associate to form stable leucine zippers. Such modifications are described in PNAS November 22, 1994. 91(24)11408-11412; https: / / doi.org / 10.1073 / pnas.91.24.11408, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0223] The TCRs identified herein may be modified to contain mutations that result in increased affinity or half-life, such as those described in WO2012 / 013913, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0224] The recombinant TCR or CAR may be a single-chain TCR (scTCR). Such scTCRs may include an α chain variable region sequence fused to the N-terminus of a TCR α chain constant region extracellular sequence, a TCR β chain variable region fused to the N-terminus of a TCR β chain constant region extracellular sequence, and a linker sequence connecting the C-terminus of the α segment to the N-terminus of the β segment, or vice versa. In some embodiments, the constant region extracellular sequences of the α and β segments of the scTCR are linked by a disulfide bond. In some embodiments, the length of the linker sequence and the position of the disulfide bond are such that the variable region sequences of the α and β segments are oriented relative to each other substantially similar to a native αβ T cell receptor. Exemplary scTCRs are described in U.S. Patent No. 7,569,664, incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0225] In some cases, the variable regions of the scTCR may be covalently linked by a short peptide linker, such as those described in Gene Therapy volume 7, pages 1369-1377 (2000). The short peptide linker may be a serine-rich linker or a glycine-rich linker. For example, the linker may be (Gly4Ser)3, as described in Cancer Gene Therapy (2004) 11, 487-496, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
[0226] The recombinant TCR or its antigen-binding fragment may be expressed as a fusion protein. For example, the TCR or its antigen-binding fragment may be fused with a toxin. Such a fusion protein is described in Cancer Res. 2002 Mar 15;62(6):1757-60. The TCR or its antigen-binding fragment may be fused with the Fc region of an antibody. Such a fusion protein is described in J Immunol May 1, 2017, 198(1 Supplement)120.9.
[0227] The antigen recognition domain of a receptor, such as a TCR or CAR, can be linked to one or more intracellular signaling components, such as signaling components. These intracellular signaling components mimic activation through an antigen receptor complex, such as a TCR complex, and / or a signal through another cell surface receptor. For example, an HLA-peptide-specific binding component (e.g., an ABP, such as a TCR) can be linked to one or more transmembrane and intracellular signaling domains. In some embodiments, the transmembrane domain is fused to the extracellular domain. In one embodiment, a transmembrane domain that naturally associates with one of the domains in the receptor, e.g., a CAR, is used. In some instances, the transmembrane domain is selected or modified by amino acid substitution to avoid such domains being bound to the transmembrane domain of the same or a different surface membrane protein and minimize interaction with other members of the receptor complex.
[0228] In some embodiments, the transmembrane domain is derived from either a natural or synthetic source. If the source is natural, the domain in some aspects is derived from a membrane-bound or transmembrane protein. Transmembrane regions include those derived from the α, β, or ζ chain (i.e., comprising at least the transmembrane region(s)) of the T cell receptor, CD28, CD3γ, CD45, CD4, CD5, CDS, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, or CD154. Alternatively, the transmembrane domain in some embodiments is synthetic. In some aspects, synthetic transmembrane domains are dominated by hydrophobic residues such as leucine and valine. In some aspects, triplets of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine are found at both ends of the synthetic transmembrane domain. In some embodiments, the linkage is via a linker, spacer, and / or transmembrane domain(s).
[0229] Prominent intracellular signaling domains are those that mimic or approximate signaling through natural antigen receptors, through such receptors in combination with costimulatory receptors, and / or through costimulatory receptors alone. In some embodiments, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, e.g., a linker 2-10 amino acids in length, such as one containing glycine and serine, e.g., a glycine-serine doublet, is present between the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic signaling domain of the receptor to form the link.
[0230] A receptor, e.g., a TCR or CAR, can comprise at least one intracellular signaling component. In some embodiments, the receptor comprises an intracellular component of the TCR complex, such as the TCR CD3 chain, e.g., the CD3ζ chain, which mediates T cell activation and cytotoxicity. For example, an HLA-peptide-binding ABP (e.g., a TCR or CAR) is linked to one or more cell signaling modules. In some embodiments, the cell signaling modules include a CD3 transmembrane domain, a CD3 intracellular signaling domain, and / or other CD transmembrane domains. In some embodiments, the receptor, e.g., a TCR or CAR, further comprises one or more additional molecules, e.g., a portion of Fc receptor-γ, CD8, CD4, CD25, or CD16. For example, in some aspects, the TCR or CAR comprises a chimeric molecule between CD3ζ or Fc receptor γ and CD8, CD4, CD25, or CD16.
[0231] In some embodiments, upon ligation of the TCR or CAR, the cytoplasmic domain or intracellular signaling domain of the receptor activates at least one of the normal effector functions or responses of an immune cell, e.g., a T cell engineered to express the receptor. For example, in some situations, the receptor induces a T cell function, e.g., cytolytic activity or T helper activity, such as secretion of cytokines or other factors. In some embodiments, a truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain of an antigen receptor component or costimulatory molecule is used in place of an intact immunostimulatory chain, e.g., if it transmits an effector function signal. In some embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain(s) include the cytoplasmic sequence of a T cell receptor (TCR), and in some aspects, the cytoplasmic sequence of a co-receptor that, in its natural environment, acts in concert with such receptor to initiate signal transduction following antigen receptor binding, and / or any derivative or variant of such molecule, and / or any synthetic sequence having the same functional capability.
[0232] In the context of natural TCRs, full activation generally requires not only TCR-mediated signaling but also a costimulatory signal. Thus, in some embodiments, the receptor also contains components for generating a secondary or costimulatory signal to promote full activation. In other embodiments, the receptor does not contain components for generating a costimulatory signal. In some aspects, additional receptors are expressed in the same cell and provide components for generating a secondary or costimulatory signal.
[0233] In some embodiments, T cell activation has been described as being mediated by two classes of cytoplasmic signaling sequences: those that initiate antigen-dependent primary activation via the TCR (primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences), and those that act antigen-independently to provide secondary or costimulatory signals (secondary cytoplasmic signaling sequences). In some embodiments, a receptor contains one or both of these signaling components.
[0234] In some aspects, the receptor comprises a primary cytoplasmic signaling sequence that regulates primary activation of the TCR complex. Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences that act in a stimulatory manner may comprise signaling motifs known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs, or ITAMs. Examples of ITAMs that comprise primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences include those derived from TCR or CD3ζ, FcRγ, FcRβ, CD3γ, CD3δ, CD3ε, CDS, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, and CD66d. In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic signaling molecule(s) of the CAR comprise a cytoplasmic signaling domain, a portion thereof, or a sequence derived from CD3ζ.
[0235] In some embodiments, the receptor comprises the signaling domain and / or transmembrane portion of a costimulatory receptor such as CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, DAP10, and ICOS. In some aspects, the same receptor comprises both an activating component and a costimulatory component.
[0236] In some embodiments, the activation domain is contained in one receptor, but the costimulatory component is provided by another receptor that recognizes a different antigen. In some embodiments, the receptor includes an activating or stimulatory receptor and a costimulatory receptor, both of which are expressed in the same cell (see WO2014 / 055668). The HLA-peptide targeting receptor is a stimulatory or activation receptor in some aspects, and a costimulatory receptor in other aspects. In some embodiments, the cell further includes an inhibitory receptor (e.g., iCAR, see Fedorov et al., Sci. Transl. Medicine, 5(215) (December, 2013)), e.g., a receptor that recognizes an antigen other than an HLA-peptide, thereby attenuating or inhibiting the activation signal delivered via the HLA-peptide targeting receptor by binding of the inhibitory receptor to its ligand, e.g., reducing off-target effects.
[0237] In certain embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain comprises a CD28 transmembrane and signaling domain linked to a CD3 (e.g., CD3-zeta) intracellular domain, hi some embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain comprises a chimeric CD28 and CD137 (4-1BB, TNFRSF9) costimulatory domain linked to a CD3zeta intracellular domain.
[0238] In some embodiments, the receptor includes one or more, e.g., two or more, costimulatory domains and an activation domain, e.g., a primary activation domain, in the cytoplasmic portion. Exemplary receptors include the intracellular components of CD3ζ, CD28, and 4-1BB.
[0239] In some embodiments, the CAR (or other antigen receptor, such as a TCR) further comprises a marker, such as a cell surface marker. This marker can be used to transduce or engineer cells to confirm expression of the receptor, including, for example, truncated forms of the cell surface receptor, such as truncated EGFR (tEGFR). In some aspects, the marker includes all or a portion (e.g., truncated forms) of CD34, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), or epidermal growth factor receptor (e.g., tEGFR). In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the marker is operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding a cleavable linker sequence or a ribosomal skip sequence, such as T2A. See WO2014031687. In some embodiments, two proteins may be expressed from the same construct by introducing constructs encoding the CAR and EGFRt separated by a T2A ribosomal switch. EGFRt can be used as a marker to detect cells expressing such a construct. In some embodiments, the marker, and optional linker sequence, can be any of those disclosed in Patent Application Publication No. WO 2014031687. For example, the marker can be a truncated EGFR (tEGFR) optionally linked to a linker sequence, such as a T2A ribosomal skip sequence.
[0240] In some embodiments, the marker is a molecule, e.g., a cell surface protein, that is not naturally found within or on the surface of a T cell or part of a T cell.
[0241] In some embodiments, the molecule is a non-self molecule, eg, a non-self protein, that is not recognized as "self" by the immune system of the host into which the cells are adoptively transferred.
[0242] In some embodiments, the marker serves as a marker for genetic engineering, e.g., selection of successfully engineered cells, but does not otherwise serve any therapeutic function and / or exert any efficacy. In other embodiments, the marker may be a therapeutic molecule or a molecule that exerts some other desired effect, e.g., a ligand for cells encountered in vivo, e.g., a costimulatory or immune checkpoint molecule to enhance and / or suppress the response of cells upon adoptive transfer and encounter with the ligand.
[0243] A TCR or CAR may include one or more modified synthetic amino acids in place of one or more naturally occurring amino acids. Exemplary modified amino acids include, but are not limited to, aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, norleucine, alpha-amino n-decanoic acid, homoserine, S-acetylaminomethylcysteine, trans-3- and trans-4-hydroxyproline, 4-aminophenylalanine, 4-nitrophenylalanine, 4-chlorophenylalanine, 4-carboxyphenylalanine, (3-phenylserine, 3-hydroxyphenylalanine, phenylglycine, alpha-naphthylalanine, cyclohexylalanine, cyclohexylglycine, indoline-2- Carboxylic acid, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, aminomalonic acid, aminomalonic acid monoamide, N'-benzyl-N'-methyl-lysine, N',N'-dibenzyl-lysine, 6-hydroxylysine, ornithine, α-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid, α-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, α-aminocycloheptanecarboxylic acid, α(2-amino-2-norbornane)-carboxylic acid, α,γ-diaminobutyric acid, α,γ-diaminopropionic acid, homophenylalanine, and α-tertbutylglycine.
[0244] In some embodiments, CARs are referred to as first-, second-, and / or third-generation CARs. In some embodiments, first-generation CARs are CARs that provide only a CD3 chain-inducing signal upon antigen binding. In some embodiments, second-generation CARs are those that provide such a signal as well as a costimulatory signal, for example, those that include an intracellular signaling domain from a costimulatory receptor such as CD28 or CD137. In some embodiments, third-generation CARs are CARs that include multiple costimulatory domains from different costimulatory receptors.
[0245] In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises an extracellular portion comprising a TCR or fragment described herein. In some aspects, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises an extracellular portion comprising a TCR or fragment described herein and an intracellular signaling domain. In some embodiments, the intracellular domain comprises an ITAM. In some aspects, the intracellular signaling domain comprises the signaling domain of the zeta chain of the CD3-zeta (CD3) chain. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises a transmembrane domain connecting the extracellular domain and the intracellular signaling domain.
[0246] In some aspects, the transmembrane domain comprises the transmembrane portion of CD28. The extracellular domain and the transmembrane may be directly or indirectly linked. In some embodiments, the extracellular domain and the transmembrane are linked by a spacer as described herein. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises the intracellular domain of a T cell costimulatory molecule, such as between the transmembrane domain and the intracellular signaling domain. In some aspects, the T cell costimulatory molecule is CD28 or 41BB.
[0247] In some embodiments, the CAR comprises a TCR, e.g., a TCR fragment, a transmembrane domain that is or comprises the transmembrane portion of CD28 or a functional variant thereof, and an intracellular signaling domain that comprises the signaling portion of CD28 or a functional variant thereof and the signaling portion of CD3ζ or a functional variant thereof. In some embodiments, the CAR comprises a TCR, e.g., a TCR fragment, a transmembrane domain that is or comprises the transmembrane portion of CD28 or a functional variant thereof, and an intracellular signaling domain that comprises the signaling portion of 4-1BB or a functional variant thereof and the signaling portion of CD3ζ or a functional variant thereof. In some such embodiments, the receptor further comprises a spacer that comprises a portion of an Ig molecule, such as a hinge-only spacer, e.g., a human Ig molecule, such as an Ig hinge, e.g., an IgG4 hinge.
[0248] In some embodiments, the transmembrane domain of a receptor, e.g., a CAR, is the transmembrane domain of human CD28 or a variant thereof, e.g., the 27 amino acid transmembrane domain of human CD28 (Accession Number: P10747.1).
[0249] In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises the intracellular domain of a T cell costimulatory molecule. In some aspects, the T cell costimulatory molecule is CD28 or 41BB.
[0250] In some embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain comprises the intracellular costimulatory signaling domain of human CD28 or a functional variant or portion thereof, e.g., the 41 amino acid domain thereof and / or such a domain having an LL to GG substitution at positions 186-187 of the native CD28 protein. In some embodiments, the intracellular domain comprises the intracellular costimulatory signaling domain of 41BB or a functional variant or portion thereof, e.g., the 42 amino acid cytoplasmic domain of human 4-1BB (Accession No.: Q07011.1) or a functional variant or portion thereof.
[0251] In some embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain comprises a human CD3ζ stimulatory signaling domain or a functional variant thereof, such as the 112AA cytoplasmic domain of human CD3ζ isoform 3 (Accession Number: P20963.2) or a CD3ζ signaling domain, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,446,190 or U.S. Pat. No. 8,911,993.
[0252] In some aspects, the spacer comprises only the hinge region of an IgG, e.g., only an IgG4 or IgG1 hinge. In other embodiments, the spacer is an Ig hinge linked to the CH2 and / or CH3 domains, e.g., an IgG4 hinge. In some embodiments, the spacer is an Ig hinge linked to the H2 and CH3 domains, e.g., an IgG4 hinge. In some embodiments, the spacer is an Ig hinge linked to the CH3 domain only, e.g., an IgG4 hinge. In some embodiments, the spacer is or comprises a glycine-serine rich sequence or other flexible linker, e.g., a known flexible linker.
[0253] For example, in some embodiments, a CAR comprises a TCR or a fragment thereof, e.g., any HLA-peptide specific TCR, a spacer such as an optional Ig hinge-containing spacer, a CD28 transmembrane domain, a CD28 intracellular signaling domain, and a CD3ζ signaling domain. In some embodiments, a CAR comprises a TCR or a fragment thereof, e.g., any HLA-peptide specific TCR, a spacer such as an optional Ig hinge-containing spacer, a CD28 transmembrane domain, a CD28 intracellular signaling domain, and a CD3ζ signaling domain.
[0254] Nucleotides, Vectors, Host Cells, and Related Methods Also provided are isolated nucleic acids encoding the ABPs or antigens disclosed herein, vectors containing the nucleic acids, and host cells containing the vectors and nucleic acids, as well as recombinant techniques for producing the ABPs.
[0255] Nucleic acids may be recombinant. Recombinant nucleic acids can be constructed outside of living cells by joining natural or synthetic nucleic acid segments to a nucleic acid molecule capable of replicating within a living cell, or the product of that replication. For purposes herein, replication can be in vitro or in vivo.
[0256] For recombinant production of an ABP, the nucleic acid(s) encoding the ABP may be isolated and inserted into a replicable vector for further cloning (i.e., amplification of the DNA) or expression. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid may be generated by homologous recombination, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,204,244, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0257] Many different vectors are known in the art. The vector components generally include one or more of the following: a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,534,615, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0258] Exemplary vectors or constructs suitable for expressing an ABP, e.g., a CAR, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, include, for example, the pUC series (Fermentas Life Sciences), the pBluescript series (Stratagene, LaJolla, CA), the pET series (Novagen, Madison, WI), the pGEX series (Pharmacia, The PFies), and the pEX series (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA). Bacteriophage vectors such as AGT10, AGT11, AZapII (Stratagene), AEMBL4, and ANM1149 are also suitable for expressing the ABPs disclosed herein.
[0259] Illustrative examples of suitable host cells are provided below. These host cells are not meant to be limiting, and any suitable host cell can be used to produce the ABPs provided herein.
[0260] Suitable host cells include prokaryotic (eg, bacterial), lower eukaryotic (eg, yeast), or higher eukaryotic (eg, mammalian) cells. Suitable prokaryotes include eubacteria, such as gram-negative or gram-positive organisms, for example, Escherichia (E. coli), Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella (S. typhimurium), Serratia (S. marcescans), Shigella, Bacillus (B. subtilis and B. licheniformis), Pseudomonas (P. aeruginosa), and Streptomyces. One useful E. coli cloning host is E. coli 294, although other strains such as E. coli B, E. coli X1776, and E. coli W3110 are also suitable.
[0261] In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for ABP-encoding vectors. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or common baker's yeast, is a commonly used lower eukaryotic host microorganism. However, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Kluyveromyces species (K. lactis, K. fragilis, K. bulgaricus, K. wickeramii, K. waltii, K. drosophilarum, K. thermotolerans, and K. marxianus), Yarrowia, Pichia pastoris, Candida species (C. albicans), Trichoderma reesei, Neurospora crassa, Many other genera, species, and strains of fungi are available and useful, such as S. crassa, Schwanniomyces (S. occidentalis), and filamentous fungi, e.g., Penicillium, Tolypocladium, and Aspergillus (A. nidulans and A. niger).
[0262] Useful mammalian host cells include COS-7 cells, HEK293 cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells; Chinese hamster ovary (CHO); mouse Sertoli cells; African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); and the like.
[0263] The host cells used to produce HLA-peptide ABPs can be cultured in a variety of media. For example, commercially available media such as Ham's F10, minimal essential medium (MEM), RPMI-1640, and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) are suitable for culturing host cells. In addition, any of the media described in Ham et al., Meth. Enz., 1979, 58:44; Barnes et al., Anal. Biochem., 1980, 102:255; and U.S. Patent Nos. 4,767,704, 4,657,866, 4,927,762, 4,560,655, and 5,122,469; or WO 90 / 03430 and WO 87 / 00195 may be used. Each of the aforementioned references is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0264] Any of these media can be supplemented as needed with hormones and / or other growth factors (such as insulin, transferrin, or epidermal growth factor), salts (such as sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate), buffers (such as HEPES), nucleotides (such as adenosine and thymidine), antibiotics, trace elements (usually defined as inorganic compounds present at final concentrations in the micromolar range), and glucose or an equivalent energy source. Any other necessary supplements can also be included at appropriate concentrations that would be known to those skilled in the art.
[0265] Culture conditions such as temperature, pH, etc. will be those previously used with the host cell selected for expression and will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
[0266] When using recombinant techniques, ABPs can be produced intracellularly in the periplasmic space or directly secreted into the medium. If ABPs are produced intracellularly, the first step is to remove particulate debris, either host cells or lysed fragments, for example, by centrifugation or ultrafiltration. Procedures for isolating ABPs secreted into the periplasmic space of E. coli are described, for example, in Carter et al. (Bio / Technology, 1992, 10:163-167), the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. Briefly, cell paste is thawed in the presence of sodium acetate (pH 3.5), EDTA, and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) for about 30 minutes. Cell debris can be removed by centrifugation.
[0267] In some embodiments, the ABP is produced in a cell-free system. In some aspects, the cell-free system is an in vitro transcription and translation system, such as that described in Yin et al., mAbs, 2012, 4:217-225, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some aspects, the cell-free system utilizes cell-free extracts derived from eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. In some aspects, the prokaryotic cell is E. coli. Cell-free expression of the ABP can be useful, for example, when ATP accumulates in the cell as insoluble aggregates or when yields from periplasmic expression are low.
[0268] When ABPs are secreted into the medium, supernatants from such expression systems are typically first concentrated using commercially available protein concentration filters, such as Amicon® or Millipore® Pellcon® ultrafiltration units. A protease inhibitor, such as PMSF, may be included in any of the foregoing steps to inhibit proteolysis, and antibiotics may be included to prevent the growth of adventitious contaminants.
[0269] ABP compositions prepared from cells can be purified using, for example, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, and affinity chromatography. Affinity chromatography is a particularly useful purification technique. The suitability of protein A as an affinity ligand varies depending on the type and isotype of immunoglobulin Fc domain present in the ABP. Protein A can be used to purify ABPs containing human γ1, γ2, or γ4 heavy chains (Lindmark et al., J. Immunol. Meth., 1983, 62:1-13, incorporated by reference in its entirety). Protein G is useful for all mouse isotypes and human γ3 (Guss et al., EMBO J., 1986, 5:1567-1575, incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0270] The matrix to which the affinity ligand is attached is most often agarose, although other matrices are available. Mechanically stable matrices such as controlled pore glass or poly(styrenedivinyl)benzene allow for faster flow rates and shorter processing times than can be achieved with agarose. H3 If the domain is involved, BakerBond ABX® resin is useful for purification.
[0271] Other techniques for protein purification, such as fractionation on ion exchange columns, ethanol precipitation, reverse-phase HPLC, chromatography on silica, chromatography on heparin Sepharose®, chromatofocusing, SDS-PAGE, and ammonium sulfate precipitation, are also available and can be applied by one skilled in the art.
[0272] After the preliminary purification step(s), the mixture containing the ABP of interest and contaminants may be subjected to low pH hydrophobic interaction chromatography, typically performed at low salt concentrations (e.g., about 0 to about 0.25 M salt), using an elution buffer at a pH of about 2.5 to about 4.5.
[0273] Method for producing HLA-peptide ABP Preparation of HLA-peptide antigens The HLA-peptide antigens used to isolate or generate the ABPs provided herein can be intact HLA-peptides or fragments of HLA-peptides, for example, in the form of isolated proteins or proteins expressed on the surface of cells.
[0274] In some embodiments, the HLA peptiantigen is a non-naturally occurring variant of an HLA-peptide, such as an HLA-peptide protein having an amino acid sequence or post-translational modification that does not occur in nature.
[0275] In some embodiments, the HLA-peptide antigen is truncated, for example, by removal of an intracellular or transmembrane sequence, or a signal sequence, hi some embodiments, the HLA-peptide antigen is fused at its C-terminus to a human IgG1 Fc domain or a polyhistidine tag.
[0276] Methods and systems for identifying ABPs ABPs that bind to HLA-peptides can be identified using any method known in the art, such as phage display, immunization of a subject, or isolation of ABP-expressing cells and subsequent sequencing of the ABP.
[0277] One method for identifying an antigen-binding protein includes providing at least one HLA-peptide target and allowing the at least one target to bind to an antigen-binding protein, thereby identifying the antigen-binding protein. The antigen-binding protein may be present in a library comprising a plurality of individual antigen-binding proteins.
[0278] In some embodiments, the library is a phage display library. The phage display library can be developed to be substantially free of antigen binding proteins that nonspecifically bind to the HLA of the HLA-peptide target. The antigen binding proteins can be present in a yeast display library that comprises a plurality of individual antigen binding proteins. The yeast display library can be developed to be substantially free of antigen binding proteins that nonspecifically bind to the HLA of the HLA-peptide target.
[0279] In some embodiments, the library is a yeast display library.
[0280] In some embodiments, the binding step is performed more than once, optionally at least three times, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 times.
[0281] Additionally, the method may also include contacting the antigen binding protein with one or more peptide-HLA complexes that are different from the HLA-peptide target to determine whether the antigen binding protein selectively binds to the HLA-peptide target.
[0282] Thus, provided herein is a system for identifying ABPs that selectively bind to one or more antigens described herein. In some embodiments, the system includes: (a) an isolated antigen comprising an HLA-restricted peptide complexed with an HLA class I molecule, the HLA-restricted peptide being located in the peptide-binding groove of the α1 / α2 heterodimer portion of the HLA class I molecule, the antigen being selected from the antigens set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 10,755-29,364; and (b) a library comprising a plurality of different antigen-binding proteins. In some embodiments, the library is a phage display library.
[0283] In some embodiments of this system, the antigen is bound to a solid support. The solid support may include, for example, beads, wells, membranes, tubes, columns, plates, sepharose, magnetic beads, cells, or chips. In some embodiments, the antigen comprises a first member of an affinity binding pair and the solid support comprises a second member of the affinity binding pair. In some embodiments, the first member is streptavidin and the second member is biotin. In some embodiments, the antigen bound to the solid support is an HLA multimer (e.g., a tetramer) comprising at least one HLA-peptide target.
[0284] In some embodiments of this system, the library (e.g., phage display library) is a human library. In some embodiments of this system, the library (e.g., phage display library) is a humanized library.
[0285] In some embodiments, the system further includes a negative control antigen comprising an HLA-restricted peptide complexed with an HLA class I molecule, where the HLA-restricted peptide is located in the peptide-binding groove of the α1 / α2 heterodimer portion of the HLA class I molecule, and the negative control antigen comprises a different restricted peptide, a different HLA class I molecule, or a different restricted peptide and a different HLA class I molecule. In some embodiments, the negative control antigen comprises a different restricted peptide but the same HLA class I molecule as the antigen.
[0286] In some embodiments, the system includes a reaction mixture comprising an antigen and a plurality of phages from a phage display library.
[0287] Another method for identifying an antigen-binding protein may include obtaining at least one HLA-peptide target, administering the HLA-peptide target, optionally in combination with an adjuvant, to a subject (e.g., a mouse, rabbit, or llama), and isolating the antigen-binding protein from the subject. Isolating the antigen-binding protein may include screening the subject's serum to identify the antigen-binding protein. The method may also include contacting the antigen-binding protein with one or more peptide-HLA complexes different from the HLA-peptide target, for example, to determine whether the antigen-binding protein selectively binds to the HLA-peptide target. The identified antigen-binding protein may be humanized.
[0288] In some embodiments, isolating the antigen-binding protein comprises isolating T cells from a subject that express the antigen-binding protein. The T cells can be used to generate hybridomas. The T cells can also be used to clone one or more of the CDRs. The T cells can also be immortalized, for example, by using EBV transformation. The sequence encoding the antigen-binding protein can be cloned from the immortalized T cells or directly from T cells isolated from an immunized subject. A library comprising the antigen-binding proteins of T cells can also be generated, and optionally the library is phage display or yeast display.
[0289] Another method for identifying an antigen binding protein may include obtaining a cell containing the antigen binding protein, contacting the cell with an HLA multimer (e.g., a tetramer) comprising at least one HLA-peptide target, and identifying the antigen binding protein via binding between the HLA multimer and the antigen binding protein.
[0290] Another method for identifying an antigen-binding protein can include obtaining cells containing an antigen-binding protein (ABP) and determining the sequence of the ABP. For example, this method can include contacting cells with an HLA multimer (e.g., a tetramer) containing at least one HLA-peptide target; optionally isolating the cells using flow cytometry (e.g., fluorescence-activated cell sorting "FACS"), magnetic separation, or single-cell separation; and sequencing polynucleotides from the isolated cells to determine the sequence of the ABP.
[0291] In some embodiments, isolation is performed by enriching for a particular cell population by positive selection, or by depleting a particular cell population by negative selection. In some embodiments, positive or negative selection results in a relatively high level (marker) in the positively or negatively selected cells, respectively. 高 This is achieved by incubating cells with one or more antibodies or other binding agents that specifically bind to one or more surface markers expressed or expressed (marker+). For example, a population of cells known or suspected to contain T cells can be positively sorted based on binding to tetramers containing the HLA-peptide of interest (e.g., neoantigen). FACS isolation can also include removal of cells that bind to non-desired HLA-peptide targets. For example, cells can be positively sorted based on binding to tetramers containing the HLA-peptide of interest (e.g., neoantigen) or negatively sorted based on binding to tetramers containing the non-desired HLA-peptide (e.g., wild-type peptide sequence corresponding to the neoantigen of interest).
[0292] Isolation of cells expressing an ABP-containing protein (e.g., FACS-based isolation of T cells) can include isolation of cells from a subject. Cells from a subject can be isolated from a variety of biological samples, including, but not limited to, bodily fluids such as blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine, and sweat, tissue, and organ samples. Biological samples can be samples obtained directly from biological sources or processed samples. The sample from which cells from a subject are derived or isolated can be blood or a blood-derived sample, or can be derived from an apheresis or leukapheresis product. Exemplary samples include whole blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), white blood cells, bone marrow, thymus, tissue biopsy, tumor, leukemia, lymphoma, lymph node, gut-associated lymphoid tissue, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, spleen, other lymphoid tissue, liver, lung, stomach, intestine, colon, kidney, pancreas, breast, bone, prostate, cervix, testis, ovary, tonsil, or other organ, and / or cells derived therefrom. Exemplary cells and cell populations that express ABP-containing proteins include, but are not limited to, activated T cells, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), PBMCs, cultured (e.g., expanded) T cells, naive T (TN) cells, effector T cells (TEFF), memory T cells, stem cell memory T cells (TSCM), central memory T cells (TCM), effector memory T cells (TEM), terminally differentiated effector memory T cells, immature T cells, mature T cells, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MALT) cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), TH1 cells, TH2 cells, TH3 cells, TH17 cells, TH9 cells, TH22 cells, follicular helper T cells, natural killer T cells (NKT), alpha beta T cells, and gamma delta T cells.
[0293] Sequencing of cells expressing ABP-containing proteins can be performed by techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as the Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling System (10x Genomics).
[0294] Another method of identifying an antigen-binding protein may include obtaining one or more cells containing the antigen-binding protein; activating the one or more cells using at least one HLA-peptide target presented on at least one antigen-presenting cell (APC); and identifying the antigen-binding protein by selecting the one or more cells activated by interaction with the at least one HLA-peptide target.
[0295] The cell can be, for example, T cell, optionally CTL or NK cell.The method can further comprise isolating the cell optionally using flow cytometry, magnetic separation or single cell separation.The method can further comprise sequencing the antigen-binding protein.
[0296] Methods for manipulating cells with ABPs Also provided are methods, nucleic acids, compositions, and kits for expressing ABPs, including receptors, including TCRs, CARs, etc., and for producing genetically engineered cells that express such ABPs. Genetic engineering generally involves introducing nucleic acids encoding the recombinant or engineered components into cells, such as by retroviral transduction, transfection, or transformation.
[0297] In some embodiments, gene transfer is achieved by first stimulating the cells with a combination of stimuli that induce a response such as proliferation, survival, and / or activation, e.g., as measured by expression of cytokines or activation markers, followed by transduction of the activated cells and expansion in culture to numbers sufficient for clinical use.
[0298] In some situations, overexpression of a stimulatory factor (e.g., a lymphokine or cytokine) can be toxic to a subject. Thus, in some situations, engineered cells include a segment that renders the cells susceptible to negative selection in vivo, such as upon administration in adoptive immunotherapy. For example, in some embodiments, the cells are engineered so that they can be eliminated as a result of changes in the in vivo conditions of the patient to whom they are administered. A negatively selectable phenotype can be generated from the insertion of a gene that confers sensitivity to an administered agent, e.g., a compound. Negative selectable genes include the herpes simplex virus type I thymidine kinase (HSV-I TK) gene (Wigler et al., Cell II:223, 1977), which confers ganciclovir sensitivity, the cellular hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene, the cellular adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) gene, and bacterial cytosine deaminase (Mullen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 89:33 (1992)).
[0299] In some embodiments, the cells are further engineered to promote the expression of cytokines or other factors. Various methods for introducing genetically engineered components, such as antigen receptors (e.g., TCRs), are well known and may be used with the provided methods and compositions. Exemplary methods include methods for introducing nucleic acids encoding receptors, including viruses, such as retroviruses or lentiviruses, transduction, transposons, nuclease-mediated gene editing (e.g., CRISPR, TALEN, meganuclease, or ZFN editing systems), and electroporation. For example, nuclease-mediated gene editing, particularly for editing T cells, is described in detail in International Applications WO / 2018 / 232356 and PCT / US2018 / 058230, which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
[0300] In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are introduced into cells using recombinant infectious viral particles, such as vectors derived from Simian Virus 40 (SV40), adenovirus, or adeno-associated virus (AAV). In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are introduced into T cells using retroviral vectors, such as recombinant lentiviral or gamma retroviral vectors (see, e.g., Koste et al. (2014) Gene Therapy 2014 Apr. 3. doi:10.1038 / gt.2014.25; Carlens et al. (2000) Exp Hematol 28(10):1137-46; Alonso-Camino et al. (2013) Mol Ther Nucl Acids 2,e93; Park et al., Trends Biotechnol. 2011 Nov. 29(11):550-557).
[0301] In some embodiments, the retroviral vector has a long terminal repeat (LTR), such as a retroviral vector derived from Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV), myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSV), murine embryonic stem cell virus (MESV), murine stem cell virus (MSCV), spleen follicular fungus virus (SFFV), or adeno-associated virus (AAV). Most retroviral vectors are derived from murine retroviruses. In some embodiments, retroviruses include those derived from avian or mammalian cell sources. Retroviruses are typically amphotropic, meaning that they can infect host cells of several species, including humans. In one embodiment, the retroviral gag, pol, and / or env sequences are replaced with the gene to be expressed. Several exemplary retroviral systems have been described (e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,219,740; 6,207,453; 5,219,740; Miller and Rosman (1989) BioTechniques 7:980-990; Miller, AD (1990) Human Gene Therapy 1:5-14; Scarpa et al. (1991) Virology 180:849-852; Burns et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:8033-8037; and Boris-Lawrie and Temin (1993) Cur. Opin. Genet. Develop. 3:102-109).
[0302] Methods for lentiviral transduction are known. Exemplary methods are described, for example, in Wang et al. (2012) J. Immunother. 35(9)689-701; Cooper et al. (2003) Blood. 101:1637-1644; Verhoeyen et al. (2009) Methods Mol Biol. 506:97-114; and Cavalieri et al. (2003) Blood. 102(2)497-505).
[0303] In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are transferred into T cells via electroporation (see, e.g., Chicaybam et al. (2013) PLoS ONE 8(3):e60298; Van Tedeloo et al. (2000) Gene Therapy 7(16):1431-1437, and Roth et al. (2018) Nature 559:405-409). In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are introduced into T cells via transposition (see, e.g., Manuri et al. (2010) Hum Gene Ther 21(4):427-437; Sharma et al. (2013) Molec Ther Nucl Acids 2,e74, and Huang et al. (2009) Methods Mol Biol 506:115-126). Other methods for introducing and expressing genetic material into immune cells include calcium phosphate transfection (e.g., as described in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY), protoplast fusion, cationic liposome-mediated transfection; tungsten particle-facilitated particle bombardment (Johnston, Nature, 346:776-777 (1990)), and strontium phosphate DNA coprecipitation (Brash et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 7:2031-2034 (1987)).
[0304] Other approaches and vectors for introducing nucleic acids encoding recombinant products include those described in, for example, International Patent Application Publication No. WO2014055668 and U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190.
[0305] Among the additional nucleic acids, e.g., genes for transfer, particularly noteworthy are those that improve the efficacy of therapy, such as by promoting the survival and / or function of transplanted cells; genes that provide genetic markers for cell selection and / or evaluation, e.g., genes for evaluating in vivo survival or localization; and genes that improve safety, e.g., by making cells susceptible to negative selection in vivo, as described in Lupton SD et al., Mol. and Cell Biol., 11:6 (1991) and Riddell et al., Human Gene Therapy 3:319-338 (1992); see also, e.g., PCT / US91 / 08442 and PCT / US94 / 05601 by Lupton et al., which describe the use of bifunctional selectable fusion genes derived from the fusion of dominant positive and negative selectable markers. See, e.g., Riddell et al., U.S. Patent No. 6,040,177, paragraphs 14-17.
[0306] Preparation of engineered cells In some embodiments, preparation of engineered cells involves one or more culture and / or preparation steps. Cells for introducing HLA-peptide-ABP, e.g., TCR, can be isolated from a biological sample, e.g., a sample obtained from or derived from a subject. In some embodiments, the subject from whom the cells are isolated has a disease or condition, or is in need of cell therapy, or is a subject to whom a cell therapy drug will be administered. In some embodiments, the subject is a human in need of a particular therapeutic intervention, such as adoptive cell therapy, in which cells are isolated, treated, and / or engineered.
[0307] Thus, in some embodiments, the cells are primary cells, e.g., primary human cells. Samples include tissues, body fluids, and other samples taken directly from a subject, as well as samples obtained by one or more processing steps, such as separation, centrifugation, genetic manipulation (e.g., transduction with a virus vector), washing, and / or incubation. Biological samples can be samples obtained directly from a biological source or processed samples. Biological samples include, but are not limited to, body fluids such as blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine, and sweat, tissue and organ samples, e.g., processed samples derived therefrom.
[0308] In some embodiments, the sample from which the cells are derived or isolated is a blood or blood-derived sample, or is or is derived from an apheresis or leukapheresis product. Exemplary samples include whole blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), white blood cells, bone marrow, thymus, tissue biopsy, tumor, leukemia, lymphoma, lymph node, gut-associated lymphoid tissue, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, spleen, other lymphoid tissue, liver, lung, stomach, intestine, colon, kidney, pancreas, breast, bone, prostate, cervix, testis, ovary, tonsil, or other organ, and / or cells derived therefrom. Samples include autologous and allogeneic samples in the context of cell therapy, e.g., adoptive cell therapy.
[0309] In some embodiments, the cells are derived from a cell line, e.g., a T cell line. The cells are, in some embodiments, obtained from a heterologous source, e.g., mouse, rat, non-human primate, or pig.
[0310] In some embodiments, cell isolation involves one or more preparative and / or affinity-based cell separation steps. In some instances, cells are washed, centrifuged, and / or incubated in the presence of one or more reagents, e.g., to remove unwanted components, enrich for desired components, or lyse or remove cells sensitive to a particular reagent. In some instances, cells are separated based on one or more properties, such as density, adhesion properties, size, sensitivity, or resistance to a particular component.
[0311] In some examples, cells from the subject's circulating blood are obtained, for example, by apheresis or leukapheresis. The sample, in some embodiments, includes lymphocytes, e.g., T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, other nucleated leukocytes, red blood cells, and / or platelets, and in some embodiments, includes cells other than red blood cells and platelets.
[0312] In some embodiments, blood cells collected from a subject are washed, e.g., to remove the plasma fraction and place the cells in an appropriate buffer or medium in preparation for subsequent processing steps. In some embodiments, the cells are washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In some embodiments, the wash solution lacks calcium and / or magnesium and / or many or all divalent cations. In some aspects, the wash step is performed using a semi-automated "flow-through" centrifuge (e.g., a Cobe 2991 cell processor from Baxter) according to the manufacturer's instructions. In some aspects, the wash step is performed using tangential flow filtration (TFF) according to the manufacturer's instructions. In some embodiments, the cells are resuspended in various biocompatible buffers after washing, such as, for example, Ca++ / Mg++-free PBS. In certain embodiments, the components of the blood cell sample are removed and the cells are resuspended directly in culture medium.
[0313] In some embodiments, the method involves preparing white blood cells from peripheral blood by a density-based cell separation method, for example, by lysing red blood cells and centrifuging through a Percoll or Ficoll gradient.
[0314] In some embodiments, isolation methods involve separating different cell types based on the intracellular expression or presence of one or more specific molecules, e.g., surface markers, such as surface proteins, intracellular markers, or nucleic acids. In some embodiments, any known method for performing separation based on such markers can be used. In some embodiments, separation is affinity- or immunoaffinity-based separation. For example, in some aspects, isolating involves separating cells and cell populations based on the expression or expression level of one or more markers, typically cell surface markers, e.g., by incubation with an antibody or binding partner that specifically binds to such markers, followed, typically by a washing step, and separating cells bound to the antibody or binding partner from cells that are not bound to the antibody or binding partner.
[0315] Such separation steps can be based on positive selection, in which cells that bind to the reagent are retained for further use, and / or negative selection, in which cells that do not bind to the antibody or binding partner are retained. In some instances, both fractions are retained for further use. In some embodiments, negative selection is particularly useful when antibodies that specifically identify cell types in a heterogeneous population are not available, such that separation is optimally performed based on markers expressed by cells other than the desired population.
[0316] Separation does not necessarily require enrichment or removal of 100% of a particular cell population or the cells that express a particular marker.For example, positive selection or enrichment of a particular type of cell, such as the cells that express a marker, refers to increasing the number or proportion of such cells, but does not necessarily require the complete elimination of cells that do not express the marker.Similarly, negative selection, removal or depletion of a particular type of cell, such as the cells that express a marker, refers to reducing the number or proportion of such cells, but does not necessarily require the complete elimination of all such cells.
[0317] In some instances, multiple rounds of separation steps are performed, with fractions positively or negatively selected in one step being subjected to a subsequent separate separation step, e.g., positive or negative selection. In some instances, a single separation step can deplete cells that simultaneously express multiple markers, e.g., by incubating cells with multiple antibodies or binding partners, e.g., each specific for a marker targeted by negative selection. Similarly, multiple cell types can be simultaneously positively selected by incubating cells with multiple antibodies or binding partners expressed in different cell types.
[0318] For example, in some embodiments, specific subpopulations of T cells, e.g., cells that express positive or high levels of one or more surface markers, e.g., CD28+, CD62L+, CCR7+, CD27+, CD127+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RA+, and / or CD45RO+ T cells, are isolated by positive or negative selection techniques.
[0319] For example, CD3+, CD28+ T cells can be positively selected using CD3 / CD28 conjugated magnetic beads, such as DYNABEADS® M-450 CD3 / CD28 T cell expander.
[0320] In some embodiments, isolation is achieved by enriching for a particular cell population by positive selection or depleting a particular cell population by negative selection. In some embodiments, a specific gene is expressed (marker +) or expressed at relatively high levels (marker +) on positively or negatively selected cells, respectively. 高 Positive or negative selection is achieved by incubating the cells with one or more antibodies or other binding agents that specifically bind to the surface or surfaces identified.
[0321] In some embodiments, T cells are isolated from a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) sample by negatively selecting for markers expressed on non-T cells, e.g., B cells, monocytes, or other leukocytes, such as CD14. In some aspects, a CD4+ or CD8+ selection step is used to separate CD4+ helper T cells from CD8+ cytotoxic T cells. Such CD4+ and CD8+ populations can be further sorted into subpopulations by positively or negatively selecting for markers expressed on, or at relatively high levels of, one or more naive, memory, and / or effector T cell subpopulations.
[0322] In some embodiments, naive, central memory, effector memory, and / or central memory stem cells in CD8+ cells are further enriched or depleted, e.g., by positive or negative selection based on surface antigens associated with each subpopulation. In some embodiments, enrichment of central memory T (TCM) cells is achieved to improve efficacy, e.g., long-term survival, proliferation, and / or engraftment following administration, which in some embodiments is particularly robust for such subpopulations. See Terakura et al. (2012) Blood. 1:72-82; Wang et al. (2012) J Immunother. 35(9):689-701. In some embodiments, combining TCM-enriched CD8+ T cells with CD4+ T cells further enhances efficacy.
[0323] In embodiments, memory T cells reside in both the CD62L+ and CD62L- subsets of CD8+ peripheral blood lymphocytes. For example, anti-CD8 and anti-CD62L antibodies may be used to enrich or deplete the CD62L-CD8+ and / or CD62L+CD8+ fractions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
[0324] In some embodiments, enrichment of central memory T (TCM) cells is based on positive or high surface expression of CD45RO, CD62L, CCR7, CD28, CD3, and / or CD127, and in some aspects based on negative selection of cells expressing or highly expressing CD45RA and / or granzyme B. In some aspects, a CD8+ population enriched for TCM cells is isolated by depletion of cells expressing CD4, CD14, CD45RA, and positive selection or enrichment of cells expressing CD62L. In one aspect, enrichment of central memory T (TCM) cells is performed first from a negative fraction of cells selected based on CD4 expression, followed by negative selection based on CD14 and CD45RA expression, and positive selection based on CD62L. Such selections are performed simultaneously in some aspects and sequentially in either order in other aspects. In some embodiments, the same CD4 expression-based selection step used in preparing the CD8+ cell population or subpopulation is also used to generate a CD4+ cell population or subpopulation, e.g., both the positive and negative fractions from the CD4-based separation are retained and used in subsequent steps of the method, optionally followed by one or more additional positive or negative selection steps.
[0325] In a particular example, a sample of PBMCs or other leukocytes, retaining both negative and positive fractions, is subjected to selection of CD4+ cells. The negative fraction is then subjected to negative selection based on expression of CD14 and CD45RA or ROR1, and positive selection based on characteristic markers of central memory T cells, such as CD62L or CCR7. The positive and negative selections can be performed in any order.
[0326] CD4+ T helper cells are sorted into naive cells, central memory cells, and effector cells by identifying cell populations that possess cell surface antigens. CD4+ lymphocytes can be obtained using standard methods. In some embodiments, naive CD4+ T lymphocytes are CD45RO-, CD45RA+, CD62L+, CD4+ T cells. In some embodiments, central memory CD4+ cells are CD62L+ and CD45RO+. In some embodiments, effector CD4+ cells are CD62L- and CD45RO-.
[0327] In one example, to enrich for CD4+ cells by negative selection, a monoclonal antibody cocktail typically includes antibodies against CD14, CD20, CD11b, CD16, HLA-DR, and CD8. In some embodiments, antibodies or binding partners are attached to a solid support or substrate, such as magnetic or paramagnetic beads, to allow for cell separation following positive and / or negative selection. For example, in some embodiments, cells and cell populations are separated or isolated using immunomagnetic (or affinity magnetic) separation techniques (reviewed in Methods in Molecular Medicine, vol. 58: Metastasis Research Protocols, Vol. 2: Cell Behavior In Vitro and In Vivo, pp 17-25 Edited by: SA Brooks and U. Schumacher Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ).
[0328] In some embodiments, a sample or composition of cells to be separated is incubated with a small, magnetizable or magnetically responsive material, e.g., magnetically responsive particles or microparticles such as paramagnetic beads (e.g., Dynabeads or MACS beads, etc.). The magnetically responsive material, e.g., particles, are generally attached directly or indirectly to a binding partner, e.g., an antibody, that specifically binds to a molecule, e.g., a surface marker, present on the cell(s) or population of cells desired to be separated, e.g., negatively or positively selected.
[0329] In some embodiments, the magnetic particles or beads comprise a magnetically responsive material bound to a specific binding member, e.g., an antibody or other binding partner. There are many well-known magnetically responsive materials for use in magnetic separation methods. Suitable magnetic particles include those described in Molday, U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,773, and European Patent Specification EP 452342(B), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Other examples include colloidal-sized particles, such as those described in Owen, U.S. Pat. No. 4,795,698, and Liberti et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,200,084.
[0330] Incubation is generally carried out under conditions in which molecules, such as antibodies or binding partners attached to the magnetic particles or beads, or secondary antibodies or other reagents that specifically bind to such antibodies or binding partners, specifically bind to the cell surface, if present on cells in the sample.
[0331] In some embodiments, the sample is placed in a magnetic field, and cells with attached magnetically responsive or magnetizable particles are attracted to the magnet and separated from unlabeled cells. Positive selection retains cells that are attracted to the magnet, while negative selection retains cells that are not attracted (unlabeled cells). In some embodiments, a combination of positive and negative selection is performed during the same selection step, and the positive and negative fractions are retained for further processing or further separation steps.
