AI Technical Summary
There is a lack of effective preventative and therapeutic agents against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and metapneumovirus (MPV) infections, particularly in infants and immunocompromised patients, due to the absence of suitable animal models and limited efficacy of existing monoclonal antibodies, and no vaccines are available for MPV.
Development of broad-spectrum antibodies that bind to RSV and MPV fusion glycoproteins, neutralizing both viruses, and the production of polynucleotides encoding these antibodies for potential therapeutic and preventive use.
The antibodies demonstrate significant neutralization capabilities against both RSV and MPV, providing a potential therapeutic and preventive solution for these infections, with improved efficacy compared to existing monoclonal antibodies.

[Technical Field]

[0002] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and metapneumovirus (MPV) are common cold viruses belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family that share target populations and represent major health problems in newborns and immunocompromised patients.
[0003] RSV is a leading cause of acute respiratory tract illness in infants and adults worldwide. 0.5% to 3.2% of children with RSV infection require hospitalization (Thompson et al., JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association 289:179-186 (2003)), and 5% to 10% of children have prolonged, severe infection, a factor thought to predispose to wheezing and asthma-like symptoms later in childhood. Because immunity to RSV does not appear to last long, reinfection is frequent (Ogra, Paediatric Respiratory Reviews 5 Suppl A:S119-126 (2003)).
[0004] Human MPV, first isolated in 2001, is now recognized as the second leading cause of acute respiratory tract illness in infants and adults. It is estimated that more than 50% of infants are infected by age 2 years and nearly all children by age 5 years. MPV accounts for approximately 5-15% of respiratory illnesses in hospitalized infants (Alto, The Journal of the American Board of Family Practice / American Board of Family Practice 17:466-469 (2004); Williams et al., N Engl J Med 350:443-450 (2004)). MPV infection is a significant disease burden in at-risk low birth weight infants, those with chronic lung disease, congestive heart disease, and immunodeficiency (Martino et al., Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation: Journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation 11:781-796 (2005)).
[0005] Co-infection with MPV and RSV may be common given their prevalence and overlapping winter epidemics. Although it is unclear whether synergistic pathology between these two viruses can occur, exacerbations resulting in particularly severe respiratory tract disease have been observed in some children coinfected with MPV and RSV (Greensill, Emerging Infectious Diseases 9:372 (2003)).
[0006] RSV, which belongs to the genus Pneumovirus in the subfamily Pneumoviriniae, and MPV, which belongs to the genus Metapneumovirus in the subfamily Pneumoviriniae, share some similarities in their genetic structure, but MPV lacks the nonstructural genes NS1 and NS2 found in RSV. The RSV and MPV envelopes contain three virus-encoded transmembrane surface glycoproteins: the major attachment glycoprotein G, the fusion glycoprotein F, and a low-molecular-weight hydrophobic SH protein. It is important to note that while the RSV and MPV envelopes contain functionally similar proteins, the F proteins of RSV and MPV share only 33% amino acid sequence identity.
[0007] The F glycoproteins of RSV and MPV direct viral entry by fusion between the virion envelope and the host cell plasma membrane. Late in infection, F proteins expressed on the cell surface can mediate fusion with neighboring cells to form syncytia (Collins et al., PNAS 81:7683-7687 (1984)). In both cases, the N-terminus of the F subunit, created by proteolytic cleavage and containing a hydrophobic stretch of amino acids called the fusion peptide, inserts directly into the target membrane to initiate fusion. After target cell binding and subsequent activation, the metastable pre-fusion F protein undergoes a series of structural rearrangements that result in the insertion of the fusion peptide into the target cell membrane, followed by the formation of a stable helical bundle that forms when the viral and cellular membranes confront each other. These structural changes result in the formation of a stable post-fusion F protein.
[0008] Only one vaccine against RSV has been approved in the United States, and it is available only for elderly patients, and no vaccine is available for MPV. Even if more vaccines are developed as more RSV cases become known, they may not be readily available for all age groups.
[0009] Evidence that serum antibodies play a role in protection against RSV virus has emerged from epidemiological and animal studies. In infants, the titer of maternally transmitted antibodies correlates with resistance to severe disease (Glezen et al., The Journal of Pediatrics 98:708-715 (1981)), and in adults, the incidence and severity of lower respiratory tract lesions are reduced in the presence of high levels of serum RSV-neutralizing antibodies (Mcintosh et al., The Journal of Infectious Diseases 138:24-32 (1978)). The monoclonal antibody palivizumab (Synagis) has been registered for the prevention of RSV infection in low birth weight infants. However, palivizumab is not consistently effective in preventing RSV infection and is not therapeutically effective. Furthermore, prolonged pulmonary replication of RSV in the presence of palivizumab resulted in the emergence of resistant virus strains in animals (Zhao and Sullender, Journal of Virology 79:3962-3968 (2005)). Another monoclonal antibody, nirsevimab (Astra Zeneca / Sanofi), was recently approved in Europe and is still undergoing approval for RSV infection in infants and very young children, and creslovimab (Merck) is in clinical trials. Longer-term studies of this antibody are not available. Currently, no monoclonal antibodies exist for the treatment or prevention of MPV infection.
[0010] The lack of a good working animal model for the most severe forms of RSV infection is related to the fact that RSV and MPV are host-restricted pneumovirus pathogens. The development of new drugs for the treatment of RSV and MPV infection has been hindered by the lack of an animal model that can reproduce all the symptoms and severity of human disease. Indeed, RSV and MPV are not natural mouse pathogens and induce only limited, minimally symptomatic, rapidly terminated primary infections in response to large, nonphysiological inocula of virus. Pneumonia virus of mice (PVM) is a natural rodent pneumovirus pathogen that belongs to the same family, subfamily, and genus (Pneumovirus) as human and bovine RSV.
[0011] Although the PVM F protein shares only 40% amino acid identity with the human RSV F protein, it has the same genetic organization, except for the M2-L duplication, which is present in RSV but not in PVM. Infection with the natural mouse pathogen PVM reproduces many of the signs and symptoms of the most severe forms of RSV, such as those that occur in human infants. PVM infection is characterized by rapid viral replication accompanied by a massive inflammatory response that leads to respiratory failure and death (Rosemberg and Domachowske, Immunology Letters 118:6-12 (2008)). Therefore, PVM infection in mice is considered to be the most relevant animal model of severe RSV and MPV infection in humans. The lack of preventative treatments and widely available vaccines against MPV infection, as well as the therapeutic ineffectiveness of palivizumab and the lack of long-term data on nirsevimab and cleslovimab, highlight the need for new preventative and therapeutic agents against these prominent human pathogens.

[0013] Provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that can bind to RSV and / or MPV and, in some embodiments, potently neutralize infection therewith. Also provided are polynucleotides, vectors, host cells, and related compositions encoding the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, as well as methods of using the antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, and related compositions to treat (e.g., reduce, delay, eliminate, or prevent) a RSV and / or MPV infection in a subject and / or in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a RSV and / or MPV infection in a subject.
[0014] In some embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure may be capable of treating infections with MPV harboring the D280N mutation, as well as other variants of MPV, the D280N mutation found in the B2 viral subtype, which has proven difficult to treat with other potential therapeutic agents.
[0015] In some embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure may bind to and / or neutralize multiple RSV and / or MPV strains (sometimes referred to as RSV and / or MPV types or subtypes) to treat and / or prevent infection by those strains.
[0016] In other embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure may promote survival and reduce weight loss in RSV-infected patients at least as effectively as nirsevimab, an anti-RSV antibody that has had favorable clinical trial results.
[0017] In some embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure may provide unique broad-spectrum treatment and protection to patients without the need for complex diagnostics to determine whether the infection is with RSV or MPV, or which MPV, because the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments may be able to effectively bind the F proteins of both RSV and MPV, even when the D280N mutation is present in MPV.
[0018] Before setting forth the present disclosure in more detail, it may be helpful to an understanding of the disclosure to provide definitions of certain terms used herein. Additional definitions are set out throughout the disclosure.
[0019] As used herein, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range should be understood to include any integer value within the recited range, and, where appropriate, fractions thereof (such as tenths and hundredths of integers), unless otherwise indicated. Additionally, any numerical range recited herein with respect to any physical characteristic (e.g., polymer subunits, size, or thickness) should be understood to include any integer within the recited range, unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, the term "about" means ±20% of the recited range, value, or structure, unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, the terms "a" and "an" should be understood to refer to "one or more" of the recited components. The use of alternatives (e.g., "or") should be understood to mean either one, both, or any combination thereof of the alternatives. As used herein, the terms "include," "have," and "comprise" are used interchangeably, and these terms and variations thereof are intended to be non-limiting.
[0020] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described element, component, event, or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances when the element, component, event, or circumstance occurs or does not occur.
[0021] Additionally, it should be understood that individual constructs or groups of constructs derived from various combinations of the structures and subunits described herein are disclosed by this application to the same extent as if each construct or group of constructs were individually described, and thus selection of a particular structure or particular subunit is within the scope of this disclosure.
[0022] The term "consisting essentially of" is not equivalent to "comprising" and refers to specified materials or steps within a claim or that do not materially affect the basic characteristics of the claimed subject matter. For example, a protein domain, region, or module (e.g., a binding domain) or protein "consists essentially of" a particular amino acid sequence if the amino acid sequence of the domain, region, module, or protein includes extensions, deletions, mutations, or combinations thereof (e.g., amino- or carboxy-terminal or inter-domain amino acids) that, in combination, contribute to at most 20% (e.g., at most 15%, 10%, 8%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%) of the length of the domain, region, module, or protein and do not substantially affect (i.e., do not reduce) the activity of the domain, region, module, or protein (e.g., the target binding affinity of a binding protein) by more than 50%, such as by 40%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1% or less).
[0023] As used herein, "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as amino acids that are later modified, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an α-carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group (e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium). Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that function in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0024] As used herein, "mutation" refers to a change in the sequence of a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide molecule compared to a reference or wild-type nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide molecule, respectively. Mutations can result in several different types of changes in the sequence, including nucleotide or amino acid substitutions, insertions, or deletions.
[0025] A "conservative substitution" refers to an amino acid substitution that does not significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of a particular protein. Generally, a conservative substitution is one in which the substituted amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Conservative substitutions include those found in one of the following groups: Group 1: alanine (Ala or A), glycine (Gly or G), serine (Ser or S), threonine (Thr or T), Group 2: aspartic acid (Asp or D), glutamic acid (Glu or Z), Group 3: asparagine (Asn or N), glutamine (Gln or Q), Group 4: arginine (Arg or R), lysine (Lys or K), histidine (His or H), Group 5: isoleucine (Ile or I), leucine (Leu or L), methionine (Met or M), valine (Val or V), and Group 6: phenylalanine (Phe or F), tyrosine (Tyr or Y), tryptophan (Trp or W). Additionally or alternatively, amino acids can be grouped into conservative substitution groups by similar function, chemical structure, or composition (e.g., acidic, basic, aliphatic, aromatic, or sulfur-containing). For example, aliphatic groups may include, for substitution purposes, Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile. Other conservative substitution groups include: sulfur-containing: Met and cysteine (Cys or C); acidic: Asp, Glu, Asn, and Gln; small aliphatic nonpolar or slightly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, and Gly; polar negatively charged residues and their amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gln; polar positively charged residues: His, Arg, and Lys; large aliphatic nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, Ile, Val, and Cys; and large aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr, and Trp. Further information can be found in Creighton (1984) Proteins, WH Freeman and Company.
[0026] As used herein, "protein" or "polypeptide" refers to a polymer of amino acid residues. Proteins include naturally occurring amino acid polymers, amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues are artificial chemical mimetics of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids, and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Variants of the proteins, peptides, and polypeptides of the present disclosure are also contemplated. In certain embodiments, variant proteins, peptides, and polypeptides comprise or consist of an amino acid sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9% identical to the amino acid sequence of a defined or reference amino acid sequence described herein.
[0027] A "nucleic acid molecule" or "polynucleotide" or "polynucleic acid" refers to a polymeric compound containing covalently linked nucleotides, which may be composed of natural subunits (e.g., purine or pyrimidine bases) or non-natural subunits (e.g., morpholine rings). Purine bases include adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, while pyrimidine bases include uracil, thymine, and cytosine. Nucleic acid molecules include polyribonucleic acid (RNA), including mRNA, microRNA, siRNA, viral genomic RNA, and synthetic RNA, and polydeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), including cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic DNA, either of which may be single-stranded or double-stranded. If single-stranded, the nucleic acid molecule may be the coding strand or the non-coding (antisense) strand. A nucleic acid molecule encoding an amino acid sequence includes all nucleotide sequences that encode the same amino acid sequence. Some versions of a nucleotide sequence may also contain introns, to the extent that the introns are removed via co-transcriptional or post-transcriptional mechanisms. In other words, different nucleotide sequences may encode the same amino acid sequence as a result of redundancy or degeneracy in the genetic code, or by splicing.
[0028] Variants of the nucleic acid molecules of the present disclosure are also contemplated. Variant nucleic acid molecules are at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9% identical to a nucleic acid molecule of a defined or reference polynucleotide described herein, where percent sequence identity is defined as set forth below. Nucleic acid molecule variants retain the ability to encode their binding domains having the functionality described herein, such as binding to a target molecule.
[0029] "Percent sequence identity" refers to the relationship between two or more sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. Preferred methods for determining sequence identity are designed to give the best match between the compared sequences. For example, sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced into one or both of the first and second amino acid or nucleic acid sequences for optimal alignment). Furthermore, non-homologous sequences may be ignored for comparison purposes. Percent sequence identity referred to herein is calculated over the length of the reference sequence, unless otherwise indicated. Methods for determining sequence identity and similarity can be found in publicly available computer programs. Sequence alignment and percent identity calculations may be performed using a BLAST program (e.g., BLAST 2.0, BLASTP, BLASTN, or BLASTX). The mathematical algorithm used in the BLAST program can be found in Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, 1997. Within the context of this disclosure, when sequence analysis software is used for analysis, it is understood that the results of the analysis will be based on the "default values" of the referenced program. "Default values" refers to any set of values or parameters that are initially loaded with the software when first initialized. Other examples include Clustal W, MAFFT, Clustal Omega, AlignMe, Praline, GAP, BESTFIT, Needle (EMBOSS), Stretcher (EMBOSS), GGEARCH2SEQ, Water (EMBOSS), Matcher (EMBOSS), LALIGN, and SSEARCH2SEQ. A global alignment algorithm, such as the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm, can be used to align two sequences over their entire length, maximizing the number of matches and minimizing the number of gaps. Default values can be used.
[0030] To generate a similarity score for two amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix can be used that assigns positive scores to some non-identical amino acids (e.g., conservative amino acid substitutions, amino acids with similar physiochemical properties, and / or amino acids that show frequent substitutions in orthologs, homologs, or paralogs). Non-limiting examples of scoring matrices include PAM30, PAM70, PAM250, BLOSUM45, BLOSUM50, BLOUM62, BLOSUM80, and BLOSUM90.
[0031] The term "isolated" means that the material is removed from its original environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same nucleic acid or polypeptide separated from some or all of the coexisting materials in the natural system is isolated. Such a nucleic acid may be part of a vector and / or such a nucleic acid or polypeptide may be part of a composition (e.g., a cell lysate), but such a nucleic acid is still isolated in that such a vector or composition is not part of the nucleic acid's or polypeptide's natural environment.
[0032] The term "gene" refers to a segment of DNA or RNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain, but in certain contexts it also includes the regions before and after the coding region (e.g., the 5' untranslated region (UTR) and the 3' UTR), as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).
[0033] A "functional variant" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that is structurally similar or substantially structurally similar to a parent or reference compound of the present disclosure, but that differs slightly in composition (e.g., one base, atom, or functional group is different, added, or removed) such that the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide performs one or more functions of the parent polypeptide with at least 50% efficiency, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% activity level. In other words, a functional variant of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of the present disclosure will perform better in a selected assay, e.g., an assay for measuring binding affinity (e.g., association constant (Ka) or dissociation constant (K)), compared to the parent or reference polypeptide. D Functional variants can be said to have "similar binding," "similar affinity," or "similar activity" if they exhibit no more than a 50% reduction in performance in a Biacore® or tetramer staining assay, which measures binding affinity.
[0034] As used herein, a "functional portion" or "functional fragment" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that comprises only a domain, portion, or fragment of a parent or reference compound, where the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide retains at least 50% of the activity associated with the domain, portion, or fragment of the parent or reference compound, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% of the level of activity of the parent polypeptide, or provides a biological benefit (e.g., effector function). A "functional portion" or "functional fragment" of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of the present disclosure is said to have "similar binding" or "similar activity" if the functional portion or fragment exhibits no more than a 50% decrease in performance in a selected assay compared to the parent or reference polypeptide (preferably no more than 20% or no more than 10% or no more than a log difference in affinity compared to the parent or reference).
[0035] As used herein, the terms "genetically engineered," "recombinant," or "non-naturally occurring" refer to an organism, microorganism, cell, nucleic acid molecule, or vector that contains one or more genetic modifications or that has been modified by the introduction of an exogenous or heterologous nucleic acid molecule, where such modifications or alterations are introduced by genetic engineering (i.e., human intervention). Genetic modifications include, for example, modifications that introduce expressible nucleic acid molecules that encode functional RNA, proteins, fusion proteins, or enzymes, or the addition, deletion, substitution, or other functional disruption of other nucleic acid molecules, or the genetic material of a cell. Further modifications include, for example, non-coding regulatory regions, where the modifications alter the expression of a polynucleotide, gene, or operon.
[0036] As used herein, "heterologous" or "non-endogenous" or "exogenous" refers to any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity that is not native to a host cell or subject, or any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity that is native to a host cell or subject that has been modified. Heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous includes genes, proteins, compounds, or nucleic acid molecules that have been mutated or otherwise modified such that the structure, activity, or both differ between the native and modified gene, protein, compound, or nucleic acid molecule. In certain embodiments, a heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous gene, protein, or nucleic acid molecule (e.g., receptor, ligand, etc.) may not be endogenous to the host cell or subject, but instead, a nucleic acid encoding such a gene, protein, or nucleic acid molecule may have been added to the host cell by conjugation, transformation, transfection, electroporation, etc., and the added nucleic acid molecule may be integrated into the host cell genome or may exist as extrachromosomal genetic material (e.g., as a plasmid or other self-replicating vector). The term "homologous" or "homolog" refers to a gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity found in or derived from a host cell, species, or strain. For example, a heterologous or exogenous polynucleotide or gene encoding a polypeptide may be homologous to a native polynucleotide or gene and may encode a homologous polypeptide or activity, but the polynucleotide or polypeptide may have an altered structure, sequence, expression level, or any combination thereof. The non-endogenous polynucleotide or gene, and the encoded polypeptide or activity, can be from the same species, different species, or a combination thereof.
[0037] In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule or portion thereof native to a host cell is considered heterologous to the host cell if it has been modified or mutated, or a nucleic acid molecule native to the host cell can be considered heterologous if it has been modified with heterologous expression control sequences or with endogenous expression control sequences that are not normally associated with nucleic acid molecules native to the host cell. In addition, the term "heterologous" can refer to biological activity that is different, altered, or not endogenous to the host cell. As described herein, two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as multiple individually regulated genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a fusion protein, or any combination thereof.
[0038] As used herein, the terms "endogenous" or "native" refer to a polynucleotide, gene, protein, compound, molecule, or activity that is normally present in a host cell or subject.
[0039] As used herein, the term "expression" refers to the process by which a polypeptide is produced based on a coding sequence of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a gene. This process may include transcription, post-transcriptional control, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational control, post-translational modification, or any combination thereof. An expressed nucleic acid molecule is typically operably linked to an expression control sequence (e.g., a promoter).
[0040] The term "operably linked" refers to the association of two or more nucleic acid molecules on a single nucleic acid fragment such that the function of one is affected by the other. For example, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is capable of affecting the expression of that coding sequence (i.e., the coding sequence is under the transcriptional control of the promoter). "Unlinked" means that the associated genetic elements are not closely related to each other so that the function of one does not affect the other.
[0041] As described herein, two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as multiple individually regulated genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein (e.g., the heavy chain of an antibody), or any combination thereof. When two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules are introduced into a host cell, it is understood that the two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules can be introduced as a single nucleic acid molecule (e.g., on a single vector), introduced on separate vectors, integrated into a host chromosome at a single site or multiple sites, or any combination thereof. The number of heterologous nucleic acid molecules or protein activities referred to refers to the number of encoding nucleic acid molecules or protein activities, not the number of separate nucleic acid molecules introduced into the host cell.
[0042] The term "construct" refers to any polynucleotide containing a recombinant nucleic acid molecule (or, when the context clearly indicates, a fusion protein of the present disclosure). The (polynucleotide) construct may be present in a vector (e.g., a bacterial vector, a viral vector) or may be integrated into a genome. A "vector" is a nucleic acid molecule that transports another nucleic acid molecule. A vector may be, for example, a plasmid, cosmid, virus, or RNA vector. Alternatively, a vector may be a linear or circular DNA or RNA molecule, which may comprise a chromosomal, non-chromosomal, semisynthetic, or synthetic nucleic acid molecule. Vectors of the present disclosure also include transposon systems (e.g., Sleeping Beauty; see, e.g., Geurts et al., Mol. Ther. 8:108, 2003; Mates et al., Nat. Genet. 41:753, 2009). Exemplary vectors are those that replicate autonomously (episomal vectors), deliver polynucleotides to a cellular genome (e.g., viral vectors), or express nucleic acid molecules to which they are linked (expression vectors).
[0043] As used herein, "expression vector" or "vector" refers to a DNA construct comprising a nucleic acid molecule operably linked to suitable control sequences that effect expression of the nucleic acid molecule in a suitable host. Such control sequences include a promoter to drive transcription, an optional operator sequence to control such transcription, a sequence encoding a suitable mRNA ribosomal binding site, and sequences that control the termination of transcription and translation. A vector can be a plasmid, a phage particle, a virus, or simply a potential genomic insert. Once transformed into a suitable host, the vector can replicate and function independently of the host genome, or in some cases, can integrate into the genome itself or deliver a polynucleotide contained in the vector into the genome without vector sequences. Herein, "plasmid," "expression plasmid," "virus," and "vector" are often used interchangeably.
[0044] The term "introduced" in the context of inserting a nucleic acid molecule into a cell means "transfection," "transformation," or "transduction," and includes reference to the incorporation of a nucleic acid molecule into a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell, where the nucleic acid molecule may be integrated into the cell's genome (e.g., chromosome, plasmid, plastid, or mitochondrial DNA), converted into an autonomous replicon, or transiently expressed (e.g., transfected mRNA).
[0045] In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide of the present disclosure may be operably linked to certain elements of a vector. For example, a polynucleotide sequence may be operably linked if it is required to effect expression and processing of the linked coding sequence. Expression control sequences may include appropriate transcription initiation, termination, promoter, and enhancer sequences, efficient RNA processing signals such as splicing and polyadenylation signals, sequences that stabilize cytoplasmic mRNA, sequences that enhance translation efficiency (i.e., Kozak consensus sequences), sequences that enhance protein stability, and possibly sequences that enhance protein secretion. Expression control sequences may be operably linked if they are adjacent to the gene of interest and are expression control sequences that act in trans or at a distance to control the gene of interest.
[0046] In certain embodiments, the vector comprises a plasmid vector or a viral vector (e.g., a lentiviral vector or a gamma-retroviral vector). Viral vectors include retroviruses, adenoviruses, parvoviruses (e.g., adeno-associated viruses), coronaviruses, negative-strand RNA viruses such as orthomyxoviruses (e.g., influenza viruses), rhabdoviruses (e.g., rabies and vesicular stomatitis viruses), and paramyxoviruses (e.g., measles and Sendai viruses), positive-strand RNA viruses such as picornaviruses and alphaviruses, and double-stranded DNA viruses, including adenoviruses, herpesviruses (e.g., herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus), and poxviruses (e.g., vaccinia, fowlpox, and canarypox). Other viruses include, for example, Norwalk virus, togaviruses, flaviviruses, reoviruses, papovaviruses, hepadnaviruses, and hepatitis viruses. Examples of retroviruses include avian leukosis sarcoma, mammalian type C viruses, type B viruses, type D viruses, the HTLV-BLV group, lentiviruses, and spumaviruses (Coffin, JM, Retroviridae: The viruses and their replication, Fundamental Virology, Third Edition, BN Fields et al., Eds., Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, 1996).
[0047] A "retrovirus" is a virus with an RNA genome that is reverse transcribed into DNA using reverse transcriptase, which then integrates into the host cell genome. "Gammaretrovirus" refers to a genus of the Retroviridae family. Examples of gammaretroviruses include murine stem cell virus, murine leukemia virus, feline leukemia virus, feline sarcoma virus, and avian reticuloendotheliosis virus.
[0048] "Lentiviral vector" includes HIV-based lentiviral vectors for gene delivery, which can be integrating or non-integrating, have a relatively large packaging capacity, and are capable of transducing a variety of different cell types. Lentiviral vectors are typically generated after transient transfection of three or more plasmids (packaging, envelope, and transfer) into producer cells. Like HIV, lentiviral vectors enter target cells through interaction of viral surface glycoproteins with receptors on the cell surface. Upon entry, viral RNA undergoes reverse transcription mediated by the viral reverse transcriptase complex. The product of reverse transcription is double-stranded linear viral DNA, which is the substrate for viral integration into the DNA of infected cells.
[0049] In certain embodiments, the viral vector may be a gammaretrovirus, such as a Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV)-derived vector. In other embodiments, the viral vector may be a more complex retrovirus-derived vector, such as a lentivirus-derived vector. HIV-1-derived vectors fall into this category. Other examples include lentiviral vectors derived from HIV-2, FIV, equine infectious anemia virus, SIV, and Maedi-Visna virus (ovine lentivirus). Methods for using retroviral and lentiviral viral vectors and packaging cells to transduce mammalian host cells with viral particles containing a transgene are known in the art and have been previously described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 8,119,772; Walchli et al., PLoS One 6:327930, 2011; Zhao et al., J. Immunol. 174:4415, 2005; Engels et al., Hum. Gene Ther. 14:1155, 2003; Frecha et al., Mol. Ther. 18:1748, 2010; and Verhoeyen et al., Methods Mol. Biol. 506:97, 2009. Retroviral and lentiviral vector constructs and expression systems are also commercially available. Other viral vectors can also be used for polynucleotide delivery, including, for example: DNA viral vectors (including, for example, adenovirus-based vectors and adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors), herpes simplex virus (HSV)-derived vectors (including amplicon vectors, replication-deficient HSV, and attenuated HSV) (Krisky et al., Gene Ther. 5:1517, 1998).
[0050] Other vectors that can be used with the compositions and methods of the present disclosure include those derived from baculovirus and alphavirus (Jolly, D J. 1999. Emerging Viral Vectors. pp 209-40 in Friedmann T. ed. The Development of Human Gene Therapy. New York: Cold Spring Harbor Lab), or plasmid vectors (such as sleeping beauty or other transposon vectors).
[0051] When the viral vector genome contains multiple polynucleotides that are expressed as separate transcripts in a host cell, the viral vector may also contain additional sequences between the two (or more) transcripts that enable bicistronic or multicistronic expression. Examples of such sequences used in viral vectors include an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), a furin cleavage site, a viral 2A peptide, or any combination thereof.
[0052] Plasmid vectors, including plasmid vectors encoding DNA-based antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, for direct administration to a subject are further described herein.
[0053] As used herein, the term "host" refers to a cell or microorganism that is targeted for genetic modification with a heterologous nucleic acid molecule to produce a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody of the present disclosure).
[0054] A host cell can include any individual cell or cell culture that can receive vector or nucleic acid uptake or express protein. The term also encompasses progeny of the host cell, whether genetically or phenotypically identical or different. Suitable host cells can depend on the vector, but can include mammalian cells, animal cells, human cells, simian cells, insect cells, yeast cells, and bacterial cells. These cells can be induced to incorporate vectors or other materials by the use of viral vectors, transformation by calcium phosphate precipitation, DEAE-dextran, electroporation, microinjection, or other methods. See, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2d ed. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1989).
[0055] In the context of RSV or MPV infection, "host" refers to a cell or subject infected with RSV or MPV.
[0056] "Antigen" or "Ag," as used herein, refers to an immunogenic molecule that elicits an immune response. This immune response may include the production of antibodies, activation of specific immunocompetent cells, complement activation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, or any combination thereof. An antigen (immunogenic molecule) may be, for example, a peptide, glycopeptide, polypeptide, glycopolypeptide, polynucleotide, polysaccharide, lipid, etc. It is readily apparent that antigens can be synthesized, recombinantly produced, or derived from a biological sample. Exemplary biological samples that may contain one or more antigens include tissue samples, fecal samples, cells, biological fluids, or combinations thereof. Antigens may be produced by cells modified or genetically engineered to express the antigen. Antigens may also be present in RSV and / or MPV fusion glycoprotein antigens, such as those present in virions, or expressed or displayed on the surface of cells infected with RSV and / or MPV.
[0057] The term "epitope" or "antigenic epitope" includes any molecule, structure, amino acid sequence, or protein determinant that is recognized and specifically bound by a cognate binding molecule such as an immunoglobulin, or other binding molecule, domain, or protein. Epitopic determinants generally comprise chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and can have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. When the antigen is or comprises a peptide or protein, the epitope can be composed of contiguous amino acids (e.g., a linear epitope), or amino acids from different parts or regions of the protein that are brought into proximity by protein folding (e.g., a discontinuous or conformational epitope), or noncontiguous amino acids that are brought into proximity without regard to protein folding.
[0058] Antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, and compositions In one aspect, the present disclosure provides isolated antibodies or antigen-binding fragments that bind to a fusion glycoprotein derived from RSV and / or MPV and / or neutralize RSV and / or MPV in a human subject. Reference to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure that "binds" to RSV or MPV refers to binding to the fusion glycoprotein of such viruses. Furthermore, any antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure that "binds" to RSV or MPV (or any further specified antigen, epitope, or binding site thereof) is "capable of binding" or "able to bind" to such RSV or MPV.
[0059] In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure associate with or associate with the fusion glycoprotein of RSV or MPV, or the fusion glycoprotein of both RSV and MPV, but do not significantly associate with or associate with any other molecules or components in the sample.
[0060] In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure specifically bind to the RSV fusion glycoprotein (also referred to herein as "RSV-F") and / or the MPV fusion glycoprotein (also referred to herein as "MPV-F"). In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments bind to RSV-F in a pre-fusion conformation, and in some embodiments, also in a post-fusion conformation. Unless otherwise specified herein, binding to RSV-F refers to binding to the pre-fusion conformation. In some embodiments, the MPV-F is a wild-type protein or a protein in which D280 is wild-type but contains other mutations (also referred to herein as "MPV-F D280"). However, in other embodiments, the MPV-F contains the D280N mutation (also referred to herein as "MPV-F N280" or "D280N"). In some embodiments, MPV-F is otherwise a wild-type protein having a mutation at D280 other than N (for purposes of this disclosure, it may be considered MPV-F D280 if it behaves like MPV-F without a mutation at D280, or MPV-F D280N if it behaves like MPV-F with the D280N mutation).
[0061] In some embodiments, the RSV / MPV cross-binding and / or neutralizing antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure specifically bind to i) both RSV-F and MPV-F D280, ii) both RSV-F and MPV-F N280, or iii) and / or iii) RSV-F, MPV-F D280, or MPV-F N280. In some embodiments, the RSV-binding and / or neutralizing antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure specifically bind to RSV-F. In some embodiments, the MPV-binding and / or neutralizing antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure specifically bind to i) MPV-F N280, ii) MPV-F D280, or iii) both MPV-F N280 and MPV-F D280.
[0062] As used herein, "specifically binds" refers to the affinity or K of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment for an antigen. a (i.e., the equilibrium binding constant of a particular binding interaction, which has units of 1 / M) and 5 M -1 (This means that for this association reaction, the on-rate [K on ] versus off-rate [K off ]) while not significantly associating or combining with any other molecule or component in the sample. Alternatively, affinity may be expressed in units of M (e.g., 10 -5 M~10 -13 M) of a particular binding interaction, d Antibodies can be classified as "high affinity" or "low affinity" antibodies. A "high affinity" antibody has a specific affinity of at least 10 9 M -1 , at least 10 10 M -1 , at least 10 11 M -1 , at least 10 12 M -1 , or at least 10 13 M -1 K a A "low affinity" antibody refers to an antibody having a K a But, 10 8 M -1 Up to 10 7 M -1 Up to 10 6 M -1 Up to 10 5 M -1 Alternatively, affinity is measured in units of M (e.g., 10 -5 M~10 -13 M) of a particular binding interaction, d )
[0063] A variety of assays are known for identifying antibodies of the present disclosure that bind to a particular target and for determining the affinity of a binding domain or binding protein, such as Western blot, ELISA (e.g., direct, indirect, or sandwich), analytical ultracentrifugation, spectroscopy, and surface plasmon resonance (Biacore®) analysis (see, e.g., Scatchard et al., Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 51:660, 1949; Wilson, Science 295:2103, 2002; Wolff et al., Cancer Res. 53:2560, 1993; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,283,173, 5,468,614, or equivalents). Assays for assessing affinity, apparent affinity, or relative affinity are also known.
[0064] In certain instances, binding can be determined by recombinantly expressing RSV-F and / or MPV-F antigens in host cells (e.g., by transfection), immunostaining the host cells (e.g., fixed or fixed and permeabilized) with antibodies, and analyzing binding by flow cytometry (e.g., using a ZE5 Cell Analyzer (BioRad®) and FlowJo software (TreeStar)). In some embodiments, positive binding can be defined by differential staining of RSV-F and / or MPV-F-expressing cells with antibodies versus control (e.g., mock-stained) cells.
[0065] In some embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure bind to RSV-F and / or MPV-F as measured using biolayer interferometry or by surface plasmon resonance.
[0066] In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure can be assessed for competitive binding to another antibody or antigen-binding fragment using surface plasmon resonance.
[0067] Certain characteristics of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure can be described using IC50 or EC50 values. In certain embodiments, IC50 is the concentration of a composition (e.g., an antibody) that results in half-maximal inhibition of a designated biological or biochemical function, activity, or response. In certain embodiments, EC50 is the concentration of a composition that provides a half-maximal response in an assay. In some embodiments, IC50 and EC50 are used interchangeably to describe the ability of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure to neutralize infection by, for example, RSV and / or MPV.
[0068] In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure neutralize infection by RSV and / or MPV. As used herein, a "neutralizing antibody" is an antibody that "neutralizes," i.e., prevents, inhibits, reduces, interferes with, or interferes with, the ability of a pathogen to initiate and / or perpetuate infection in a host. The terms "neutralizing antibody" and "neutralizing antibody" or "neutralizing antibodies" are used interchangeably herein. In any of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment prevents and / or neutralizes RSV and / or MPV infection in an in vitro model of infection, in an in vivo animal model of infection, and / or in humans. A "neutralizing antibody" is also "capable of" or "able to perform" any of the activities ascribed to a neutralizing antibody in this paragraph, and a "neutralizing" antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is also "capable of" or "able to neutralize."
[0069] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is a RSV-binding and / or neutralizing antibody or antigen-binding fragment shown in Table 2 with reference to Table 1 and the sequence definitions in the sequence listing.
[0070] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is an MPV-binding and / or neutralizing antibody or antigen-binding fragment shown in Table 2 with reference to Table 1 and the sequence definitions in the sequence listing.
[0071] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is a RSV / MPV cross-binding and / or neutralizing antibody or antigen-binding fragment shown in Table 2 with reference to Table 1, Table 20, and the sequence definitions in the sequence listing.
[0072] A similar naming convention is used for the antibodies herein, following the principles that apply to antibody and variant names.
[0073] As used herein, "MPH12" not further specified as a variant (e.g., MPH12-v2) refers to an antibody having the CRD associated with the MPH12 VH and MPH-12 VL shown in Tables 1 and 2 and the Sequence Listing, or the MPH12 VH and MPH-12 VL shown in Tables 1 and 2 and the Sequence Listing, and an rIgG1 constant region. "MPH-v[#]" refers to the variants of MPH12 shown in Tables 2 and 20 with reference to Table 1 and the Sequence Listing, collectively referred to as MPH12 "variants." The first or only number in a variant refers to the VH variant, and a variant with two numbers, "xy," refers to the VH.VL variant. Typically, VH.1 refers to the parent VH, and VL.1 refers to the parent VL, unless otherwise indicated by the sequences herein.
[0074] MPK[#], as used herein, refers to antibodies whose names begin with "MPK" in Table 1 and Table 2 with reference to the Sequence Listing. Collectively, these antibodies may be referred to as "MPK antibodies."
[0075] Other MP[letter][#] combinations, as used herein, each refer to antibodies whose names begin with "MP[letter][#]" in Table 1 and Table 2 with reference to the Sequence Listing, in a manner similar to the MPK antibodies. Collectively, antibodies having the same MP[letter][#] combination may be referred to as that particular "MP[letter][#] antibody."
[0076] "MP[Letter][#]-v[#].[#]" refers to variants of MP[Letter][#] shown in Tables 2 and 20 with reference to Table 1 and the Sequence Listing, collectively referred to as MP[Letter][#] "variants." The first number in the variant refers to the VH variant, and the second number refers to the VL variant. For example, MPK190-v1.3 refers to an MPK190 antibody with VH.1 and VL.3 variants of the parent MPK190. MPK176-v1.3 refers to an antibody with VH.1 and VL.3 variants of the parent MPK176. MPK 176-v4.3 refers to an antibody with VH.4 and VL.3 variants of the parent MPK176. MPK201-v1.2 refers to an antibody with VH.1 and VL.2 variants of the parent MPK201. MPK201-v4.1 refers to an antibody with VH.4 and VL.2 variants of the parent MPK201.
[0077] Certain antibodies are designated as variants of a parent antibody without reference to specific VH and VL variants. These antibodies are designated MP[letter][#]-v[#] (where v[#] is a single number) and may be considered the parent antibody or referred to without the "v[#]" designation. MPK65-v2 is an example of such an antibody. The VH and VL variants of such antibodies are designated similarly to other MP[letter][#] antibodies. For example, MPK65-v2-v1.2 refers to an antibody with VH.1 and VL.2 variants of the parent MPK65-v2. MPK65-v2-v3.1 refers to an antibody with VH.3 and VL.1 variants of the parent MPK65-v2. MPK65-v2 is sometimes referred to simply as "MPK65."
[0078] Certain comparative antibodies, or antibodies that may be used in various combinations with MPH, MPK, MPM, MPO, MPP, MPR, or other MP[Letter][#] antibodies (including HMB[#]), and RSD5, are described in Tables 3 and 4 with reference to Table 1 and the Sequence Listing. MPE33 and MPE8 are described in Corti et al. Nature. 2013 Sep 19;501(7467):439-43. doi:10.1038 / nature12442. Epub 2013 Aug 18. MPF5 and RSD5 are described in Jones et al. PLoS Patho. 15(7):e1007944(2019); doi:10.1371 / journal.ppat.1007944. Antibodies with the same VH and VL as these reference antibodies but with diversity in the Fc region can also be used in place of them, as they are expected to have similar binding properties.
[0079] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is human, humanized, or chimeric.

[0124] The G1m3 and G1m17 allotypes are located at the same position in the CH1 domain (position 214 according to EU numbering). G1m3 contains R214(EU) and G1m17 contains K214(EU). The G1m1 allotype is located in the CH3 domain (positions 356 and 358(EU)) and refers to the substitutions E356D and M358L. The G1m2 allotype refers to the substitution of alanine at position 431(EU) with glycine. G1m allotypes, alloallotypes, and their characteristics are known in the art and can be found, for example, in<www.imgt.org / IMGTrepertoire / Proteins / allotypes / human / IGH / IGHC / G1m_allotypes.html> and Lefranc, M.-P. and Lefranc, G.

[0127] "V L " or "VL" and "V HThe terms "VH" and "VH" refer to the variable binding regions from an antibody light chain and antibody heavy chain, respectively. In certain embodiments, the VL is of the kappa (κ) class (also referred to herein as "VK"). In certain embodiments, the VL is of the lambda (λ) class. The variable binding regions comprise separate and distinct subregions known as "complementarity determining regions" (CDRs) and "framework regions" (FRs). The terms "complementarity determining regions" and "CDRs" are synonymous with "hypervariable regions" or "HVRs" and generally refer to sequences of amino acids within an antibody variable region that together confer antigen specificity and / or binding affinity to the antibody, with consecutive CDRs (i.e., CDR1 and CDR2, CDR2 and CDR3) being separated from each other in the primary structure by framework regions. There are three CDRs in each variable region (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3, LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3, also referred to as CDRH and CDRL, respectively). In certain embodiments, an antibody VH comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-HCDR1-FR2-HCDR2-FR3-HCDR3-FR4, and an antibody VL comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-LCDR1-FR2-LCDR2-FR3-LCDR3-FR4. Generally, the VH and VL together form an antigen-binding site via their respective CDRs. In certain embodiments, one or more CDRs do not contact the antigen and / or do not contribute energetically to antigen binding.
[0128] As used herein, a "variant" of a CDR refers to a functional variant of a CDR sequence having up to 1 to 3 amino acid substitutions (e.g., conservative or non-conservative substitutions), deletions, or a combination thereof.
[0129] Numbering of the CDRs and framework regions may be according to any known method or scheme, such as the Kabat, Chothia, EU, Martin (Enhanced Chothia), Contact, AbM, CCG, EU, or AHo numbering schemes, or a combination of two or more of these IMGT, North, and AHo numbering schemes (see, e.g., Kabat et al., "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest," U.S. Dept. Health and Human Services, Public Health Service National Institutes of Health, 1991, 5 th ed.; Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987); Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27:55, 2003; Honegger and Pluckthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309:657-670 (2001)). The Antigen Receptor Numbering and Receptor Classification (ANARCI) software tool (2016, Bioinformatics 15:298-300) can be used to annotate equivalent residue positions and compare different molecules. Thus, identifying the CDRs of a variable domain (VH or VL) sequence provided herein using one numbering scheme does not exclude antibodies containing CDRs of the same variable domain determined using a different numbering scheme.
[0130] In certain embodiments, the CDRs are numbered using any known CDR numbering method, including Kabat, Chothia, EU, Martin (Enhanced Chothia), Contact, AbM, CCG, EU, or AHo numbering method, or a combination of two or more of these IMGT, Martin (Enhanced Chothia), Contact, North, and AHo numbering methods (including by a combination of any two or more of these numbering methods), as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 2, 136, 146, 159, 169, 175, 181, 189, 196, 202, 210, 215, 225, 233, 243, 250, 254, 261, 271, 277, 284, 293, 300, 309, 316, 321, 327, 332, 342, 343, 350, 354, 361, 361, 371, 377, 384, 385, 393, 400, 409, 416, 421, 427, 432, 442, 443, 450, 454, 461, 471, 477, 484, 493, 500, 510, 520, 530, 542, 550, 560, 571, 580, 593, 600, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 671, 680, 693, 700, 710, 720, 730, 740, 750 , 347, 352, 357, 362, 369, 727, 737, 746, 755, 765, 775, 784, 794, 804, 813, 817, 820, 823, 826, 828, 831, 834, 837, 840, 843, 883, 886, 889, 893, 896, 899, 901, 903, 129, 12, 38, 46, 53, 59, 69, 120, 73, 79, 86, 95, 22, 111, 30, 378, 386, 395, 404, 412, 416, 422, 426, 431, 4 40, 451, 458, 463, 470, 475, 480, 485, 491, 497, 532, 537, 539, 542, 545, 547, 550, 504, 513, 524, 527, 702, 707, 712, and 716, and / or the CDRs of the VH sequences according to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 77, 141, 150, 155, 164, 172, 178, 185, 192, 199, 205, 212, 220, 229, 238, 247, 252, 257, 266, 274, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 340, 451, 458, 463, 470 8, 296, 305, 312, 319, 324, 330, 337, 345, 349, 355, 360, 367, 374, 732, 742, 751, 760, 770, 780, 789, 799, 808, 847, 851, 855, 858, 860, 862, 865, 868, 870, 873, 875, 877, 879, 881, 133, 17, 42, 50, 56, 64, 71, 125, 76, 83, 91, 98, 27, 116, 35, 382, 391, 400, 408, 414, 419,Antibodies or antigen-binding fragments that bind RSV-F are provided, including the CDRs of a VL sequence according to any one of 424, 429, 434, 436, 444, 449, 455, 461, 466, 473, 478, 483, 487, 495, 501, 509, 518, 522, 530, 553, 558, 560, 563, 567, 570, 572, 574, 704, and 710.

[0153] In further embodiments, CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment that binds RSV-F and / or MPV-F comprise or consist of the CDRs identified for the anti-RSV / MPV MPK or MPH antibodies in Tables 2 and 20, and have the corresponding amino acid sequences shown in Table 1 and the Sequence Listing. Specifically, the CDRs are those of MPK190-v1.3, MPK9, MPK10, MPK18, MPK30-v1, MPK36-v3, MPK51, MPK51-v1.1, MPK67, MPK73, MPK77, MPK77-v1.1, MPK86, MPK92, MPK99, MPK102, MPK104, MPK104-v1.1, MPK104-v1.3, MPK108, MPK126, MPK127, MPK129, MPK130, MPK132, and the like, as disclosed herein. The cross-linking or cross-neutralizing antibodies may comprise or consist of the CDRs of RSV-F alone or MPV-F alone, and need not be used in situations where binding and / or neutralization of both RSV and MPV targets occurs.
[0154] The term "CL" refers to an "immunoglobulin light chain constant region" or "light chain constant region," i.e., a constant region derived from an antibody light chain. The term "CH" refers to an "immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region" or "heavy chain constant region," which can be further divided into CH1, CH2, and CH3 domains (IgA, IgD, IgG) or CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains (IgE, IgM) depending on the antibody isotype. The Fc region of an antibody heavy chain is further described herein. In any of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure comprises any one or more of CL, CH1, CH2, and CH3. In any of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure may comprise any one or more of CL, CH1, CH2, and CH3. In certain embodiments, the CL comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 905. In certain embodiments, the CL comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% identity to a human lambda light chain constant domain.
[0155] In certain embodiments, CH1-CH3 comprise an amino acid sequence having at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 664-668.
[0156] For example, it is understood that production in mammalian cell lines may remove one or more C-terminal lysines of an antibody heavy chain (see, e.g., Liu et al. mAbs 6(5):1145-1154 (2014)). Accordingly, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure can include heavy chain, CH1-CH3, CH3, or Fc polypeptides with or without a C-terminal lysine residue or C-terminal glycine-lysine; in other words, embodiments are encompassed in which the C-terminal residue of a heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide is not lysine, as well as embodiments in which lysine is the C-terminal residue. In certain embodiments, a composition comprises a plurality of antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure, wherein one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments do not include a lysine residue or C-terminal glycine-lysine at the C-terminus of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide, and one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments include a lysine residue at the C-terminus of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide.
[0157] "Fab" (Fragment Antigen Binding) is the portion of an antibody that binds to an antigen. It comprises the variable region and CH1 of a heavy chain linked to a light chain via an interchain disulfide bond. Each Fab fragment is monovalent with respect to antigen binding, i.e., it has a single antigen-binding site. Pepsin treatment of an antibody yields a single large F(ab')2 fragment, which roughly corresponds to two disulfide-linked Fab fragments with bivalent antigen-binding activity while still cross-linking antigen. Both Fab and F(ab')2 are examples of "antigen-binding fragments." Fab' fragments differ from Fab fragments by having several additional residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain, including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab'-SH is the designation used herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residues in the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments were originally produced as pairs of Fab' fragments, each with hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical linkages of antibody fragments are also known.
[0158] Fab fragments may be linked, for example, by peptide linkers, to form single-chain Fabs, also referred to herein as "scFabs." In these embodiments, the interchain disulfide bonds present in native Fabs may be absent, and the linker serves, in whole or in part, to link or connect the Fab fragments in a single polypeptide chain. A heavy chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VH+CH1, or "Fd") and a light chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VL+CL) may be linked in any configuration to form an scFab. For example, an scFab may be arranged, from N- to C-terminal, as follows: (heavy chain Fab fragment-linker-light chain Fab fragment) or (light chain Fab fragment-linker-heavy chain Fab fragment). Peptide linkers and exemplary linker sequences for use in scFabs are discussed in further detail herein.
[0159] An "Fv" is a small antibody fragment containing a complete antigen-recognition and antigen-binding site. This fragment generally consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv containing only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although typically with lower affinity than the entire binding site.
[0160] "Single-chain Fv," also abbreviated as "sFv" or "scFv," is a Fv consisting of VFs linked together to form a single polypeptide chain. H and V L In some embodiments, the scFv polypeptide is an antibody fragment comprising a V H Domains and V LThe scFv may comprise a polypeptide linker disposed between and connecting the domains, which allows the scFv to maintain or form the desired structure for antigen binding. Such peptide linkers can be incorporated into the fusion polypeptide using standard techniques well known in the art. For a review of scFvs, see Pluckthun in *The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies*, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994); Borrebaeck 1995 (infra). In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an scFv comprising a VH domain, a VL domain, and a peptide linker connecting the VH domain to the VL domain. In certain embodiments, the scFv comprises a VH domain connected to the VL domain by a peptide linker, which can be in a VH-linker-VL orientation or a VL-linker-VH orientation. Any scFv of the disclosure can be engineered so that the C-terminus of the VL domain is linked to the N-terminus of the VH domain by a short peptide sequence, or vice versa (i.e., (N)VL(C)-linker-(N)VH(C) or (N)VH(C)-linker-(N)VL(C)). Alternatively, in some embodiments, a linker can be linked to the N-terminal portion or terminus of the VH domain, the VL domain, or both.
[0161] Peptide linker sequences can be selected, for example, based on: (1) their ability to adopt a flexible, extended conformation; (2) their inability or lack of ability to adopt a secondary structure that can interact with a functional epitope on the first and second polypeptides and / or the target molecule; and / or (3) the absence or relative absence of hydrophobic or charged residues that can react with the polypeptides and / or the target molecule. Other considerations for linker design (e.g., length) include the conformation or range of conformations in which the VH and VL can form a functional antigen-binding site. In certain embodiments, peptide linker sequences contain, for example, Gly, Asn, and Ser residues. Other near-neutral amino acids (e.g., Thr and Ala) can also be included in the linker sequence. Other amino acid sequences that may be usefully employed as linkers include those disclosed in Maratea et al., Gene 40:39 46 (1985), Murphy et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:8258 8262 (1986), U.S. Pat. No. 4,935,233, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,180. Other illustrative, non-limiting examples of linkers include, for example, Glu-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly-Ser-Glu-Ser-Lys-Val-Asp (Chaudhary et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1066-1070 (1990)), and Lys-Glu-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Ser-Ser-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Gln-Phe-Arg-Ser-Leu-Asp (Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988)), as well as the pentamer Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser, when present in a single repeat or repeated 1 to 5 or more times.Any suitable linker may be used, but generally may be about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 15 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 amino acids in length, or less than about 200 amino acids in length. Preferably, the linker comprises a flexible structure (one that can provide flexibility and room for conformational movement between the two regions, domains, motifs, fragments, or modules connected by the linker), and preferably is biologically inert and / or has a low risk of immunogenicity in humans.
[0162] An scFv can be constructed using any combination of VH and VL sequences disclosed herein, or any combination of CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 sequences.
[0163] In some embodiments, a linker sequence is not required, such as when the first and second polypeptides have non-essential N-terminal amino acid regions that can be used to separate functional domains and prevent steric hindrance.
[0164] During antibody development, DNA at germline variable (V), joining (J), and diversity (D) loci may rearrange, resulting in the insertion and / or deletion of nucleotides in the coding sequence. Somatic mutations may be encoded by the resulting sequence and may be identified by reference to the corresponding known germline sequence. In some situations, somatic mutations that are not important for the desired properties of the antibody (e.g., binding to RSV and / or MPV fusion glycoprotein antigens) or that confer undesirable properties to the antibody (e.g., resulting in an increased risk of immunogenicity in the subject receiving the antibody), or both, may be substituted with the corresponding germline-encoded amino acid or a different amino acid such that the desired properties of the antibody are improved or maintained and the undesirable properties of the antibody are reduced or eliminated. Thus, in some embodiments, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure contain one or more additional germline-encoded amino acids in the variable regions compared to a parent antibody or antigen-binding fragment, provided that the parent antibody or antigen-binding fragment contains one or more somatic mutations. The variable region and CDR amino acid sequences of exemplary anti-RSV-F, anti-MPV-F, and anti-RSV-F and / or MPV-F antibodies of the present disclosure are provided in Table 1, Table 2, and the Sequence Listing.
[0165] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises amino acid modifications (e.g., substitution mutations) to eliminate the undesired risk of oxidation, deamidation, and / or isomerization.
[0166] Also provided herein are variant antibodies that contain one or more amino acid modifications in the variable regions (e.g., VH, VL, framework, or CDR) compared to a ("parent") antibody of the present disclosure, wherein the variant antibodies bind to RSV and / or MPV fusion glycoproteins.

In certain embodiments, a composition comprises a plurality of antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure, wherein one or more of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments do not comprise a lysine or glycine residue at the C-terminus of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide, and one or more of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments comprise a lysine or glycine residue at the C-terminus of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide.
[0186] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof. An "Fc" fragment or Fc polypeptide comprises the carboxy-terminal portions of both antibody heavy chains (i.e., the CH2 and CH3 domains of IgG) held together by disulfides. An Fc may comprise a dimer composed of two Fc polypeptides (i.e., two CH2-CH3 polypeptides). Antibody "effector functions" refer to the biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody (a native-sequence Fc region or an amino acid sequence variant Fc region) and vary depending on the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding and complement-dependent cytotoxicity, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, down-regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors), and B cell activation. As discussed herein, modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions) can be made to the Fc domain to modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or eliminate) one or more functions of an Fc-containing polypeptide (e.g., an antibody of the disclosure), including, for example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding, antibody half-life regulation (e.g., by binding to FcRn), ADCC function, protein A binding, protein G binding, and complement fixation.Amino acid modifications that modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or eliminate) Fc function include, for example, T250Q / M428L, M252Y / S254T / T256E, H433K / N434F, M428L / N434S, M428L / N434A, E233P / L234V / L235A / G236+A327G / A330S / P331S, E333A, S239D / A330L / I332E, P257I / Q3 11, K326W / E333S, S239D / I332E / G236A, N297Q, K322A, S228P, L235E+E318A / K320A / K322A, L234A / L235A (also referred to herein as "LALA"), and L234A / L235A / P329G mutations, which are summarized and annotated in "Engineered Fc Regions" published by InvivoGen (2011), which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0187] For example, to activate the complement cascade, the C1q protein complex can bind to two or more IgG1 molecules or one IgM molecule when the immunoglobulin molecule is bound to an antigenic target (Ward, E.S., and Ghetie, V., Ther. Immunol. 2 (1995) 77-94). Burton, D.R. (Mol. Immunol. 22 (1985) 161-206) reported that the heavy chain region containing amino acid residues 318-337 is involved in complement binding. Duncan, A.R., and Winter, G. (Nature 332 (1988) 738-740) reported, using site-directed mutagenesis, that Glu318, Lys320, and Lys322 form the binding site for C1q. The role of residues Glu318, Lys320, and Lys322 in binding C1q was confirmed by the ability of short synthetic peptides containing these residues to inhibit complement-mediated lysis.
[0188] For example, FcR binding can be mediated by the interaction of the Fc portion (of an antibody) with Fc receptors (FcRs), specialized cell surface receptors on cells, including hematopoietic cells. Fc receptors belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily and have been shown to mediate both the removal of antibody-coated pathogens by phagocytosis of immune complexes via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), as well as the lysis of corresponding antibody-coated red blood cells and various other cellular targets (e.g., tumor cells) (Van de Winkel, JG, and Anderson, CL, J. Leukoc. Biol. 49 (1991) 511-524). FcRs are defined by their specificity for immunoglobulin classes. Fc receptors for IgG antibodies are referred to as FcγRs, Fc receptors for IgE are referred to as FcεRs, Fc receptors for IgA are referred to as FcαRs, and neonatal Fc receptors are referred to as FcRn. Fc receptor binding is described, for example, in Ravetch, JV, and Kinet, JP, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9 (1991) 457-492, Capel, PJ et al., Immunomethods 4 (1994) 25-34, de Haas, M., et al., J Lab. Clin. Med. 126 (1995) 330-341, and Gessner, JE, et al., Ann. Hematol. 76 (1998) 231-248.
[0189] Cross-linking of receptors by the Fc domains (FcγRs) of native IgG antibodies triggers a wide variety of effector functions, including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and the release of inflammatory mediators, as well as modulation of immune complex clearance and antibody production. Fc moieties that provide cross-linking of receptors (e.g., FcγRs) are contemplated herein. In humans, three classes of FcγRs have been characterized to date: (i) FcγRI (CD64), which binds monomeric IgG with high affinity and is expressed on macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils; (ii) FcγRII (CD32), which binds complexed IgG with intermediate to low affinity, is widely expressed, particularly on leukocytes, and is thought to play a central role in antibody-mediated immunity and can be divided into FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB, and FcγRIIC, and is a key regulator of the immune system. (iii) FcγRIII (CD16) binds IgG with intermediate to low affinity and is found in two forms (FcγRIIIA and FcγRIIIB); FcγRIIIA is found on NK cells, macrophages, eosinophils, and some monocytes and T cells and is thought to mediate ADCC; FcγRIIIB is highly expressed on neutrophils.
[0190] FcγRIIA is found on many cells involved in death (e.g., macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils) and appears to be able to activate the death process. FcγRIIB appears to play a role in inhibitory processes and is found on B cells, macrophages, as well as mast cells and eosinophils. Importantly, 75% of all FcγRIIB has been shown to be found in the liver (Ganesan, LP et al., 2012: "FcγRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes", Journal of Immunology 189:4981-4988). FcγRIIB is abundantly expressed on the liver sinusoidal endothelium, called LSECs, and in the liver's Kupffer cells, which are the primary site of small immune complex clearance (Ganesan, LP et al., 2012: FcγRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes. Journal of Immunology 189:4981-4988).
[0191] In some embodiments, the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof disclosed herein comprise an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof for binding to FcγRIIb, particularly the Fc region, e.g., an IgG-type antibody. Furthermore, the Fc portion can be engineered to enhance FcγRIIb binding by introducing the mutations S267E and L328F, as described in Chu, S.Y. et al., 2008: Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD19 and FcgammaRIIb with Fc-engineered antibodies. Molecular Immunology 45, 3926-3933. This can enhance the clearance of immune complexes (Chu, S., et al., 2014: Accelerated Clearance of IgE In Chimpanzees Is Mediated By Xmab7195, An Fc-Engineered Antibody With Enhanced Affinity For Inhibitory Receptor FcγRIIb. Am J Respir Crit, American Thoracic Society International Conference Abstracts). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present disclosure comprises an engineered Fc portion having the mutations S267E and L328F, as described in particular in Chu, S.Y. et al., 2008: Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD19 and FcγRIIb with Fc-engineered antibodies. Molecular Immunology 45, 3926-3933.
[0192] On B cells, FcγRIIB may function to suppress further immunoglobulin production and isotype switching, for example, to the IgE class. On macrophages, FcγRIIB is thought to inhibit phagocytosis mediated through FcγRIIA. On eosinophils and mast cells, FcγRIIB may serve to suppress activation of these cells by binding of IgE to its distinct receptor.
[0193] With respect to FcγRI binding, modifications in native IgG of one or more of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, and P329 reduce binding to FcγRI. Substitution of IgG2 residues at positions 233-236 with the corresponding IgG1 and IgG4 positions reduced IgG1 and IgG4 binding to FcγRI by 103-fold and eliminated the human monocyte response to antibody-sensitized erythrocytes (Armour, KLet et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 29 (1999) 2613-2624).
[0194] With respect to FcγRII binding, reduced binding to FcγRIIA is seen for IgG mutations such as one or more of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, R292, and K414.
[0195] The two allelic forms of human FcγRIIA are the "H131" variant, which binds IgG1 Fc with higher affinity, and the "R131" variant, which binds IgG1 Fc with lower affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood 113:3716-3725 (2009).
[0196] With respect to FcγRIII binding, reduced binding to FcγRIIIA is observed for mutations in one or more of, for example, E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, S239, E269, E293, Y296, V303, A327, K338, and D376. Mapping of the binding site on human IgG1 for Fc receptors, the mutation sites described above, and methods for measuring binding to FcγRI and FcγRIIA are described in Shields, R.L., et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276 (2001) 6591-6604.
[0197] The two allelic forms of human FcγRIIIA are the "F158" variant, which binds IgG1 Fc with lower affinity, and the "V158" variant, which binds IgG1 Fc with higher affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood 113:3716-3725 (2009).
[0198] With regard to binding to FcγRII, two regions of native IgG Fc appear to be involved in the interaction between FcγRII and IgG: (i) the lower hinge region of IgG Fc, specifically amino acid residues L, L, G, G (234-237, EU numbering), and (ii) adjacent regions of the CH2 domain of IgG Fc, specifically loops and chains within the upper CH2 domain adjacent to the lower hinge region, e.g., the region of P331 (Wines, BD, et al., J. Immunol. 2000;164:5313-5318). Furthermore, while FcγRI appears to bind to the same site on IgG Fc, FcRn and Protein A bind to different sites on IgG Fc, which appear to be at the CH2-CH3 interface (Wines, BD, et al., J. Immunol. 2000;164:5313-5318).
[0199] Also contemplated are mutations that increase the binding affinity of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof of the present disclosure to (i.e., one or more) Fcγ receptors (e.g., when compared to a reference Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that includes or does not include the mutation). See, e.g., Delillo and Ravetch, Cell 161(5):1035-1045 (2015) and Ahmed et al., J. Struc. Biol. 194(1):78 (2016). The Fc mutations and techniques are incorporated herein by reference.
[0200] In any of the embodiments disclosed herein, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment may comprise an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising mutations selected from G236A, S239D, A330L, and I332E, or a combination comprising any two or more thereof, e.g., S239D / I332E, S239D / A330L / I332E, G236A / S239D / I332E, G236A / A330L / I332E (also referred to herein as "GAALIE"), or G236A / S239D / A330L / I332E.

In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 672-678.
[0201] In certain embodiments, an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof may comprise or consist of at least a portion of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that is involved in FcRn binding. In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises one or more amino acid modifications that improve binding affinity for FcRn (e.g., at a pH of about 6.0) (e.g., enhance binding to FcRn), which in some embodiments increases the in vivo half-life of a molecule comprising the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof (e.g., compared to a reference Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof, or an otherwise identical antibody that does not contain the modifications). In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises or is derived from an IgG Fc, and the half-life extending mutations comprise one or more of M428L, N434S, N434H, N434A, N434S, M252Y, S254T, T256E, T250Q, P257I Q311I, D376V, T307A, and E380A (EU numbering). In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise M428L / N434S (also referred to herein as "MLNS," "LS," "_LS," and "-LS"). In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations are in an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising or consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 679-684. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise M252Y / S254T / T256E. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise T250Q / M428L. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise P257I / Q311I. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise P257I / N434H. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise D376V / N434H. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise T307A / E380A / N434A. In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations comprise M428L / N434A (also referred to herein as "MLNA," "LA," "_LA," and "-LA"). In certain embodiments, the half-life extending mutations are in an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising or consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 685-690.
[0202] In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc portion comprising the substitution mutations M428L / N434S or M428L / N434A. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising the substitution mutations G236A / A330L / I332E. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc portion (e.g., an IgG) comprising the G236A, A330L, and I332E mutations (GAALIE) and not comprising the S239D mutation (e.g., comprising a native S at position 239). In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising the substitution mutations M428L / N434S and G236A / A330L / I332E (which may comprise or consist of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 691-695), optionally not comprising S239D (e.g., comprising an S at position 239). In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising the substitution mutations M428L / N434A and G236A / A330L / I332E (which may comprise or consist of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 696-700), optionally excluding S239D (e.g., S at 239).

[0203] In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment (further described herein) is provided that comprises any one of the amino acid mutations (i) to (xviii) in the (e.g., human) IgG1 heavy chain: (i) G236A, L328V, and Q295E, (ii) G236A, P230A, and Q295E, (iii) G236A, R292P, and I377N, (iv) G236A, K334A, and Q295E, (v) G236S, R292P, and Y300L, (vi) G236A and Y300L, (vii) G236A and Y300L, or (viii) G236A, K334A, and Q295E. 6A, R292P, and Y300L, (viii) G236S, G420V, G446E, and L309T, (ix) G236A and R292P, (x) R292P and Y300L, (xi) G236A and R292P, (xii) Y300L, (xiii) E345K, G236S, L235Y, and S267E, (xiv) E272R, L309T, S219Y, and S267E, (xv) G236Y, (xvi) G236W, (xvii) F243L, G446E, P396L, and S267E, (xviii) G236A, S239D, and H268E. The numbering of amino acid residues is according to the EU index as set forth in Kabat. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment further comprises one or more mutations that enhance binding to human FcRn, such as M428L and N434S mutations or M428L and N434A mutations (EU numbering), or any other mutation that enhances binding to human FcRn, such as those described herein. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated.
[0204] In specific embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment has i) a VH and VL, respectively, as set forth elsewhere herein, or (iii) a CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 as determined by any CDR determination scheme set forth elsewhere herein or disclosed herein, and (A) substitution mutations: (i) G236A, L328V, and Q295E, (ii) G236A, P230A, and Q295E, (iii) G236A, R292P, and I377N, (iv) G236A, K334A, and Q295E, 5E, (v) G236S, R292P, and Y300L, (vi) G236A and Y300L, (vii) G236A, R292P, and Y300L, (viii) G236S, G420V, G446E, and L309T, (ix) G236A and R292P, (x) R292P and Y300L, (xi) G236A and R292P, (xii) Y300L, (xiii) E345K, G236S, L235Y, and S267E, (xiv) E272R, L309T, S219Y, and S267E, (xv) G236Y, (xvi) G236W, (xvii (xviii) G236A, S239D, and H268E, (xix) M428L / N434S, (xx) M428L / N434A, (xxi) G236A / A330L / I332E / M428L / N434S, (xxii) G236A / A330L / I332E / M428L / N434A, or (xxiii) any two or more of (i) to (xxii); or (B) an Fc portion comprising at least 85%, at least 86%, or at least 90% of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 664 to 700. an Fc portion comprising or consisting of an Fc polypeptide or a fragment thereof, comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence (optionally other than a naturally occurring variant thereof) having at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity thereto, or comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 672-700;Including.
[0205] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a glycosylation-altering mutation, the glycosylation-altering mutation comprises N297A, N297Q, or N297G, and / or the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is partially or fully aglycosylated and / or partially or fully afucosylated. Host cell lines and methods for producing partially or fully aglycosylated or partially or fully afucosylated antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are known (see, e.g., WO 2016 / 181357; Suzuki et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 13(6):1875-82 (2007); Huang et al. MAbs 6:1-12 (2018)).
[0206] The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure may be fucosylated (e.g., comprise one or more fucosyl moieties, typically comprising a native (wild-type) fucosylation pattern or a fucosylation pattern comprising one or more additional or fewer fucosyl moieties compared to native) or afucosylated. In particular, native IgG1 antibodies possess a glycan site at N297, which is typically the only site at which the core fucose moiety may be found in an antibody, although some glycan sites may arise through mutation (e.g., within the variable domain) during antibody development. Fucosylation of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof or antibody can be effected by introducing an amino acid mutation to introduce or destroy a fucosylation site (e.g., introducing a mutation at N297, such as N297Q or N297A, to disrupt the formation of glycans that may contain a core fucose moiety), although it is typically preferred to maintain N297 and its glycans by expressing the polypeptide in a host cell that has been genetically engineered to lack (or have an inhibited or impaired ability to) fucosylate polypeptides, expressing the polypeptide under conditions in which the ability of the host cell to fucosylate polypeptides is impaired (e.g., in the presence of 2-fluoro-L-fucose (2FF)), or the like. Afucosylated polypeptides may comprise a fucose moiety or may be substantially free of fucose moieties, and / or may be expressed by a host cell genetically engineered to lack (or have an inhibited or impaired ability to) fucosylate polypeptides, and / or may be expressed under conditions in which the host cell's ability to fucosylate polypeptides is impaired (e.g., in the presence of 2-fluoro-L-fucose (2FF)). In some embodiments, the polypeptide does not comprise a core fucose moiety at Asn297. In some embodiments, the afucosylated polypeptide has increased binding to FcγRIIIA. In some situations, addition of 2FF to culture medium containing host cells expressing the antibodies results in about 85% or more of the antibodies lacking a fucose moiety.Thus, antibodies may be described as "afucosylated" if produced in the presence of 2FF or a similar reagent. In some contexts, polypeptides or antibodies may be described as, for example, afucosylated, meaning that about 85% or more of the single polypeptide or antibody molecules of the polypeptides or antibodies do not contain a fucose moiety. In certain preferred embodiments, the afucosylated antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or a population or plurality thereof, contains an asparagine (N) at EU297. Fucosylation, or lack thereof, can be assessed, for example, using mass spectrometry (e.g., electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)). In some embodiments, compositions are provided comprising a plurality of any one or more of the polypeptides of the present disclosure, wherein the composition comprises an afucosylated polypeptide.
[0207] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment elicits continued protection in vivo in a subject, even after detectable levels of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can no longer be found in the subject (i.e., when the antibody or antigen-binding fragment has disappeared from the subject after administration). Such protection is referred to herein as a vaccine effect. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that dendritic cells can internalize the antibody and antigen complex and then induce or contribute to an endogenous immune response against the antigen. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment contains one or more modifications, such as mutations in Fc, including, for example, G236A, A330L, and I332E, that activate dendritic cells, which can induce, for example, T cell immunity, against the antigen.
[0208] In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the disclosure comprises an Fc variant selected from the Fc variants summarized in Table A (see also WO 2022 / 251119). In certain embodiments, the Fc variant or antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated. In other embodiments, the Fc variant or antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated.
[0209] [Table 1]
[0210] In some embodiments, an anti-parvovirus antibody or antigen-binding fragment is provided that includes, in a (e.g., human) IgG1 heavy chain, any one of the amino acid mutations set forth in (i) to (xviii): (i) G236A, L328V, and Q295E, (ii) G236A, P230A, and Q295E, (iii) G236A, R292P, and I377N, (iv) G236A, K334A, and Q295E, (v) G236S, R292P, and Y300L, (vi) G236A and Y300L, (vii) G236A, R292P, and and Y300L, (viii) G236S, G420V, G446E, and L309T, (ix) G236A and R292P, (x) R292P and Y300L, (xi) G236A and R292P, (xii) Y300L, (xiii) E345K, G236S, L235Y, and S267E, (xiv) E272R, L309T, S219Y, and S267E, (xv) G236Y, (xvi) G236W, (xvii) F243L, G446E, P396L, and S267E, and (xviii) G236A, S239D, and H268E. Amino acid residue numbering follows the EU index as described in Kabat. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment further comprises one or more mutations that enhance binding to human FcRn, such as M428L and N434S mutations or M428L and N434A mutations (EU numbering), or any other mutation that enhances binding to human FcRn, such as those described herein. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is afucosylated.
[0211] In any of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising a CH2 (or fragment thereof), a CH3 (or fragment thereof), or a CH2 and a CH3, where the CH2, CH3, or both may be of any isotype and may contain amino acid substitutions or other modifications compared to the corresponding wild-type CH2 or CH3, respectively. In certain embodiments, an Fc of the present disclosure comprises two CH2-CH3 polypeptides that associate to form a dimer.
[0212] In any of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment may be monoclonal. As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" (mAb) refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, the individual antibodies of which are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which include different antibodies directed against different epitopes, each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single epitope on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies are advantageous in that they may be synthesized uncontaminated by other antibodies. The term "monoclonal" should not be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies useful in the present invention can be prepared by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler et al., Nature 256:495 (1975), or can be made using recombinant DNA methodologies in bacterial, eukaryotic, or plant cells (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described, for example, in Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) and Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581-597 (1991). Monoclonal antibodies may also be obtained using the methods disclosed in WO 2004 / 076677(A2).
[0213] The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure include "chimeric antibodies" in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical to or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, and the remainder of the chain is identical to or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567, 5,530,101, and 7,498,415, and Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). For example, chimeric antibodies may contain both human and non-human residues. Furthermore, chimeric antibodies may contain residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or the donor antibody. These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986), Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-329 (1988), and Presta Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596 (1992). Chimeric antibodies also include primatized and humanized antibodies.
[0214] "Humanized antibodies" are generally considered to be human antibodies with one or more amino acid residues introduced into them from a non-human source. These non-human amino acid residues typically come from the variable domain. Humanization may be performed according to the method of Winter and coworkers (Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Reichmann et al., Nature, 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534-1536 (1988)), by substituting non-human variable sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Such "humanized" antibodies are therefore chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567, 5,530,101, and 7,498,415), in which substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from the non-human species. In some instances, a "humanized" antibody is produced by a non-human cell or animal and contains human sequences, e.g., H C This includes the domain.
[0215] A "human antibody" is an antibody that contains only sequences present in antibodies produced by humans (i.e., sequences encoded by human antibody-encoding genes). However, as used herein, human antibodies may contain residues or modifications not found in naturally occurring human antibodies (e.g., antibodies isolated from humans), including the modifications and variant sequences described herein. These modifications and variant sequences are typically made to further refine or enhance antibody performance. In some instances, human antibodies are produced by transgenic animals. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,770,429, 6,596,541, and 7,049,426.
[0216] In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure are chimeric, humanized, or human antibodies or human antigen-binding fragments.
[0217] In some embodiments, various pharmacokinetic ("PK") parameters are used to describe or characterize the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments provided herein. Details regarding the collection of antibody serum concentrations for the purpose of assessing PK parameters are described in connection with the Examples herein. 1 / 2 The term "C" or "half-life" refers to the elimination half-life of an antibody contained in a pharmaceutical composition administered to a subject. last The term "last measurable plasma concentration" generally refers to the last measurable plasma concentration (i.e., the point after which the substance is no longer present in measurable concentrations in plasma).
