Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application relates to an antigen-binding molecule pair, each molecule comprising a target-binding domain, a cytokine receptor-binding domain, and an Fc domain, wherein the target-binding domain simultaneously binds to a target antigen, and the cytokine receptor-binding domain binds to a subunit of the cytokine receptor complex. Biparatopic assembly of the cytokine receptor-binding domain in the presence of a target antigen enables selective activation of the cytokine receptor and effectively mimics cytokine activity in a targeted manner. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, cancer immunotherapy has grown dramatically, and cancer immunotherapy is becoming a primary strategy for combating disease. For many cancer types, immune checkpoint modulators, including anti-PD-1, have become standard care. However, despite all the advances made in the field of cancer immunotherapy in recent years, a significant proportion of patients still do not respond to available immunotherapies due to intrinsic or adaptive mechanisms of resistance. Cancer immunotherapy patients with non-inflammatory immune symptoms are more likely to not respond to immunotherapy. Immune cell infiltration in tumors has been shown to correlate with a patient's ability to respond to immunotherapy treatments. The development of new therapies aimed at increasing immune cell infiltration and enhancing immunogenicity is essential for patients.
[0003] Alongside the developments mentioned above, cytokines are attracting significant interest as a potential cancer treatment. IFNγ (interferon-gamma or IFN-γ) responds to immune or inflammatory stimuli, and CD4 + and CD8 +IFNγ is a cytokine primarily produced by activated lymphocytes such as T cells, as well as natural killer (NK) cells. IFNγ is a homodimer, and its receptors (IFNγR1 and IFNγR2) are expressed across hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. On the cell surface, IFNγR1 is stably expressed, while IFNγR2 is differentially expressed, regulating IFNγ. When IFNγ binds to its receptor, Janus kinases JAK1 and JAK2 are recruited and activated, phosphorylating and activating STAT1. Phosphorylated STAT1 translocates to the nucleus, binds to promoters, and regulates gene transcription under the control of IFNγ.
[0004] In contrast to other cancer therapies currently on the market or under development, IFNγ can act on both tumor cells and immune cells, including T cells and dendritic cells. The effects of IFNγ on various cell types offer several advantages, including: 1) enhanced expression of MHC-I molecules on the surface of both tumor cells and antigen-presenting cells; 2) recruitment of immune cells to tumor sites by inducing CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 production; and 3) increased tumor antigen cross-presentation, leading to enhanced anti-tumor immune responses. In addition to these effects, IFNγ promotes Th1 environment formation, monocyte differentiation, macrophage polarization, and angiogenesis. Because the IFNγ receptor is expressed across a wide range of cell types, the sink effect can reduce its activity.
[0005] IFNγ can also exhibit undesirable side effects. Furthermore, problems may arise regarding administration, bioavailability, and short half-life. Therefore, there is a need for novel molecules that can selectively activate the IFNγ pathway at tumor sites.
[0006] Targeting the interleukin-2 (IL-2) pathway as a cancer immunotherapy strategy has a long and branching history, serving as evidence of both the merits and complexities of this clinical approach. IL-2 is a cytokine that activates lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. Clinical efficacy is often overshadowed by reports of IL-2-related toxicity associated with peripheral T cell activity and CD25-mediated complications.
[0007] Cytokines are potent immunomodulators that initiate signaling via receptor dimerization, but natural cytokines have several limitations as therapeutic agents. Low stability and difficulties in manufacturing processes are just some of them. It has been known for some time that antibodies can induce signaling on cells and thus replace natural ligands.
[0008] Recent literature provides growing evidence that combining heterodimeric cytokine receptors using both antibody- and non-antibody-based protein scaffolds is a viable strategy for mimicking the activity of native cytokines. For example, Moraga et al. provide an early example of using diabodies as surrogate ligands for the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) (Moraga et al. Cell 160, 1196-1208 (2015)). Researchers at Teneobio combined heavy-chain-only antibodies (VHH fused to the Fc domain) against different epitopes on interleukin-2 receptors (IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ) with bispecific effectorless IgG4Fc (CH1 deletion) using knob-in-hole technology. Monospecific anti-IL-2Rβ or anti-IL-2Rγ alone or in combination were used with human CD8 +Although it did not induce STAT5 phosphorylation on T cells, the bispecific anti-IL-2Rβγ antibody showed varying levels of agonist activity (Harris, KE, et al. Sci Rep 11(1):10592 (2021)). A similar approach to that described by Teneobio was carried out by scientists at Synthekine, which described the functional induction of signaling between two interleukin receptors (IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ) via a single-domain antibody (sdAb; International Publication No. 2022 / 032040) and was reviewed by Saxton et al. (Saxton, RA, et al. Nat Rev Drug Discov. 22, 21-37 (2022)). This approach was further extended by researchers at Stanford University, where the authors presented a strategy for discovering cytokine surrogate agonists by using modular ligands such as VHH or scFv human for interleukin-2 / 15, type I interferon, and interleukin-10 receptors. Interestingly, they also identified functional non-native assemblies such as the IL-2Rβ / IL-10Rβ heterodimer (Yen, M., et al. Cell 185(8):1414-1430 e1419(2022)). The same authors also discuss a structure-based approach to decouple the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions of interleukin-10 (Saxton, RA, et al. Science 371(6535)(2021)). Two academic research groups from the Czech Republic and Israel jointly reported the discovery of non-antibody-based scaffolds that mimic the cytokine IFNλ. Using combinatorial libraries derived from several established small protein scaffolds, variants capable of binding to IFNλR1 or IL-10Rβ and inducing functional signaling were identified (Kolarova, L., et al. FEBS J 289(9):2672-2684(2022)). The reduction in the size of the agonist module was addressed by researchers at Medikine.They obtained molecules selected from a peptide library through a screening designed to identify molecules that simultaneously bind to the Rα and γc subunits of the human IL-7 receptor. These peptides, with molecular weights less than 5 kDa and fused to the IgG1-Fc domain, exhibit similar biological properties to those of IL-7 in vitro and when administered to non-human primates (Dower, W., et al. Journal for Immuno Therapy of Cancer 8(Suppl 3):A341-A342(2020)).

[0035] [Figure 1]Schematic diagram of antigens used for llama immunization, phage display, and screening for isolation of human IFNγR1, IFNγR2, IL-2Rβ, and IL-2Rγ-specific single-domain antibodies. For llama immunization, heterodimers (A) were generated from the extracellular domain (ECD) of human IFNγR1 fused to a biotinylated Fc knob and human IFNγR2 ECD fused to the Fc hole, and heterodimers (D) were generated from the ECD of human IL-2Rβ fused to a biotinylated Fc knob and human IL-2RγECD fused to the Fc hole. For phage display, monovalent human IFNγR1 (B), monovalent human IFNγR2 (C), monovalent human IL-2Rβ (E), monovalent human IL-2Rγ (F), and soluble Fc (G) were generated fused to biotinylated Fc. [Figure 2] A workflow for enriching single-domain antibodies with binding specificity to human cytokine receptor subunits using phage display. [Figure 3] Specificity screening of single-domain antibodies by ELISA. A random set of soluble VHH domains selected for human IFNγR1 specificity after 3 rounds of phage display was tested for binding to immobilized human IFNγR1-Fc and immobilized human Fc (A). VHH domains with human IFNγR2 specificity after 3 rounds of phage display were also tested for antigen specificity by ELISA (B). VHH domains selected for human IL-2Rβ specificity after 3 rounds of phage display were tested for binding to immobilized human IL-2Rβ-Fc and immobilized human Fc (C). VHH domains with human IL-2Rγ specificity after 3 rounds of phage display were also tested for antigen specificity by ELISA (D). The absorbance at 450 nm, showing the binding response to each target, is represented as a stacked bar graph. [Figure 4]Format conversion of single-domain antibody fragments. Round 3 VHH library variants with IFNγR1 or IL-2Rβ specificity were fused to the Fc-nob and cloned into mammalian cell expression vectors using the Gibson cloning method (A). Round 3 VHH library variants with IFNγR2 or IL-2Rγ specificity were fused to the Fc-hole using the same method (B). [Figure 5] A bispecific heavy chain antibody containing an IFNγR1-IFNγR2 or IL-2Rβ-IL-2Rγ VHH domain pair. The VHH domain with IFNγR1 or IL-2Rβ specificity was fused to an Fc knob, and the VHH domain targeting IFNγR2 or IL-2Rγ was fused to an Fc hole. The VHH moieties were fused to the Fc chain using a flexible 5 (G4S) linker. The bispecific heavy chain antibody was generated by knob-into-hole assembly of the Fc chain. The effector function of Fc was suppressed by incorporating the P329G LALA mutation into the CH2 domain. [Figure 6] Functional screening of bispecific heavy chain antibodies containing VHH domain pairs of IFNγR1-IFNγR2 or IL-2Rβ-IL-2Rγ. HEK-Blue IFNγ cells were incubated with IFNγ agonist bispecific heavy chain antibodies containing VHH domain pairs of IFNγR1 and IFNγR2, prepared using a 5×5 bispecific matrix (A). HEK-Blue IL-2 reporter cells were incubated with IL-2 agonist bispecific heavy chain antibodies containing VHH pairs of IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ, prepared using a 5×5 bispecific matrix (B). IFNγR activity and IL-2R activity were quantified by absorbance at 650 nm, and the multiple response / background for each treatment is shown. [Figure 7]Characterization of dose-dependent responses to IFNγ agonist heavy chain antibodies. Previously identified IFNγR agonists (Figure 6A, Table 1) were screened for dose-dependent IFNγR activity in HEK-Blue IFNγ cells characterized by absorbance at 650 nm. The responses of various IFNγ agonist heavy chain antibodies were grouped according to the anti-IFNγR1 VHH clone; i.e., in each graph, the anti-IFNγR2 VHH clone was variable, while the anti-IFNγR1 VHH clone remained constant: IFNγR1_1 clone (A), IFNγR1_2 clone (B), IFNγR1_3 clone (C), and IFNγR1_5 clone (D). Responses were compared with recombinant human IFNγ (black dashed line) and FAP-IFNγ (P1AF3574; light gray dashed line). [Figure 8] Comparison of EC50 values of IFNγ agonist heavy chain antibodies. EC50 values were obtained from the HEK-Blue assay using GraphPad Prism software (Figure 7). Values are shown in nanomolar concentrations, and recombinant human IFNγ is highlighted as a reference (dotted line). [Figure 9] Characterization of dose-dependent responses to IL-2R agonist heavy chain antibodies. Previously identified IL-2R agonists (Figure 6B, Table 2) were screened for dose-dependent IL-2R agonism in HEK-Blue IL-2 cells. Anti-PD1-IL2v (P1AE4422) was used as a reference molecule, and each molecule was incubated with reporter cells at the following concentrations: 20 nM, 0.8 nM, and 0.032 nM from left to right. IL-2R activity was quantified by absorbance at 650 nm; the mean value from technical triplets is shown with error bars representing the standard deviation.

Previously identified IFNγR agonists (P1AH1877-P1AH1890) and reference molecules (recombinant human IFNγ and FAP-IFNγ) were incubated with tumor cells at the following treatment concentrations: 100, 10, 1, and 0.1 nM for each treatment (left to right). Measurements were blanked out and normalized to the recombinant human IFNγ response at the highest concentration (100 nM). Responses for MHC-I expression on MKN45 cells (A), PD-L1 expression on MKN45 cells (B), MHC-I expression on Bxpc3 cells (C), PD-L1 expression on Bxpc3 cells (D), MHC-I expression on CorL105 cells (E), and PD-L1 expression on CorL105 cells (F) are shown. [Figure 11] Concept of a split dual-targeting IFNγR agonist. FAP-dependent biparatopic assembly of a split IFNγ mimetic (A). Note that for simplicity of explanation, only one monomer of the FAP dimer is shown in the inset. The VHH domain, which has IFNγR1 specificity and IFNγR2 specificity, was fused to the N-terminus of two different anti-FAP binding domains via a VH fusion site or a VL fusion site, resulting in eight conformations in the substitution space: IFNγR1-VHH fused to the VH of FAP binder 1 (B), IFNγR2-VHH fused to the VH of FAP binder 2 (C), and fused to the VL of FAP binder 1. IFNγR1-VHH(D), IFNγR2-VHH(E) fused to the VL of FAP binder 2, IFNγR2-VHH(F) fused to the VH of FAP binder 1, IFNγR1-VHH(G) fused to the VH of FAP binder 2, IFNγR2-VHH(H) fused to the VL of FAP binder 1, and IFNγR1-VHH(I) fused to the VL of FAP binder 2. All molecules have the same Fc properties as shown in Figure 5. [Figure 12]Evaluation of IFNγR activity mediated by FAP-dependent split IFNγR agonists. Eight split IFNγ mimes (Figure 11B-I) were paired in biparatopic assembly combinations and tested for IFNγR agonism characterized by MHC-I and PD-L1 upregulation. FAP-negative A549 cells were tested for untargeted, nonspecific MHC-I (A, B) and PD-L1 upregulation (C, D) by split IFNγ mimes. A549 FAP-positive cells were co-cultured with differentially labeled A549 FAP-negative cells to evaluate FAP-dependent activity of IFNγ mimes in cis and trans states: MHC-I upregulation in cis (E and F), PD-L1 upregulation in cis (G and H), MHC-I upregulation in trans (I and J), and PD-L1 upregulation in trans (K and L). Recombinant IFNγ and the IFNγ agonist heavy chain antibody P1AH1884 (shown in Figure 5) were used as references. Median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of MHC-I and PD-L1 expression levels was analyzed using FlowJo. The mean values from technical replication are shown with error bars representing the standard deviation. [Figure 13]Further formats of split dual-targeting IFNγR agonists.

The anti-FAP binders in Figure 13E-H include the CrossFab VH / VL operation (binder 1) and the CH1-CL charge (binder 2), which then allow for further pairing. All molecules have the same Fc properties as those described in Figure 5. [Figure 14]Evaluation of IFNγR activity mediated by further FAP-dependent split IFNγR agonists. Four combinations of molecules and reference molecules shown in Figure 13 were tested for IFNγR agonism characterized by MHC-I and PD-L1 upregulation. A549 cells lacking FAP expression were tested for FAP-independent MHC-I upregulation (A) and PD-L1 upregulation (B) of split IFNγ mimes. A549 FAP-positive cells were co-cultured with differentially labeled A549 FAP-negative cells, and the FAP-dependent activity of IFNγ mimes was evaluated by cis-MHC-I upregulation (C), cis-PD-L1 upregulation (D), trans-MHC-I upregulation (E), and trans-PD-L1 upregulation (F). Recombinant IFNγ and IFNγ agonist heavy chain antibody (P1AH1884) were used as reference molecules. Median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of MHC-I and PD-L1 expression levels was analyzed using FlowJo. Mean values from technical replication are shown with error bars representing the standard deviation. [Figure 15]Concept of split FAP-targeted IFNγ agonists with different linker lengths. A single VHH domain with specificity for either IFNγR1 or IFNγR2 was manipulated to ligate to the hinge region at the N-terminus (top) or C-terminus (bottom) of the Fc region within an antibody construct containing an FAP-binding Fab domain. The construct utilized one of two different FAP-binding Fab domains that did not compete for binding. To ligate the Fc region to the VHH domain, a flexible linker consisting of 5, 15, or 25 amino acids, indicated by a number following a semicolon after the molecular ID, was used. This resulted in a set of 24 unique conformations that can be paired to produce 12 functional FAP-targeted IFNγ agonists: P1AJ8564+P1AJ8567, P1AJ8560+P1AJ8563 and P1AJ8568+P1AJ8571(A); P1AJ8566+P1AJ8565, P1AJ85 62+P1AJ8561 and P1AJ8570+P1AJ8569(B); P1AJ8576+P1AJ8579, P1AI0187+P1AJ8575 and P1AJ8580+P1AJ8583(C); P1AJ8578+P1AJ8577, P1AJ8574+P1AJ8573 and P1AJ8582+P1AJ8581(C). [Figure 16]Evaluation of IFNγR activity mediated by further FAP-dependent split IFNγR agonists.

[0044] A "single-domain antibody" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric antibody variable domain, such as a VHH, nanobody, shark-derived VNAR, autonomous VH domain, or autonomous VL domain. A single-domain antibody provides an antigen-binding site that specifically binds to an epitope; that is, the antigen-binding site is formed only by a single-domain antibody.
[0045] "VHH," or "VHH domain," or "nanobody" refers to a single-domain antibody derived from the variable domain of heavy-chain antibodies from camels (e.g., camels, dromedaries, llamas, alpacas, etc.) (see Nguyen VKet al., 2000, The EMBO Journal, 19, 921-930; Muyldermans S., 2001, J Biotechnol., 74, 277-302; and Vanlandschoot P. et al., 2011, Antiviral Research 92, 389-407 for an overview). The antigen-binding site of VHH lacks a light-chain variable domain. The VHH domain can be humanized.
[0046] As used herein, the term “antigen-binding domain” refers to a portion that specifically binds to a target antigen. In particular, the term refers to the antigen-binding domain of an antibody, i.e., the portion containing a region that binds to and is complementary to part or all of the antigen. Therefore, in certain embodiments, the antigen-binding domain as used herein is the antigen-binding domain of an antibody. Such an antigen-binding domain may be provided by an antibody fragment, for example, a Fab molecule, a single-chain antibody molecule, or a single-domain antibody, such as a VHH domain.
[0047] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to a domain in the heavy or light chain of an antibody that is involved in antibody-antigen binding. This term includes the VHH domain. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains of native antibodies (VH and VL, respectively) generally have similar structures, and each domain contains four conserved framework regions (FRs) and complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). See, for example, Kindt et al., Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., WH Freeman & Co., page 91 (2007). A single VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind to a specific antigen may be isolated by screening a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively, using the VH or VL domain of the antibody that binds to the antigen. See, for example, Portolano et al., J. Immunol. 150:880-887 (1993); Clarkson et al., Nature 352:624-628 (1991). When used herein in combination with variable region sequences, “Kabat numbering” refers to the numbering system described by Kabat et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991).
[0048] As used herein, the amino acid positions of all constant regions and domains in the heavy and light chains are numbered according to the Kabat numbering system described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991), and are referred to herein as "Kabat numbering" or "Kabat numbering."
[0049] Specifically, the Kabat numbering system (see Kabat, et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed., Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991), pp. 647-660) is used for the light chain constant domain CL of kappa and lambda isotypes, while the Kabat EU index numbering system (see pp. 661-723) is used for the heavy chain constant domains (CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3), in which case it is further clarified herein by the terms "Kabat EU index numbering" or "Kabat EU index numbering."
[0050] As used herein, the terms “binding site” or “antigen-binding site” refer to the site of a binding molecule that provides interaction with an antigen, i.e., one or more amino acid residues. For example, the antigen-binding site of an antigen-binding domain includes amino acid residues from a complementarity-determining region (CDR). The antigen-binding site may also be provided by, for example, one or more variable domains (also called variable regions). In a single-domain antibody, the antigen-binding site is provided by a single variable domain. In contrast, in a Fab fragment, the antigen-binding site is provided by VH and VL domains.
[0051] As used herein, the terms “hypervariable region” or “HVR” refer to each region of the antigen-binding domain whose sequence is hypervariable and which determines antigen-binding specificity, such as the “complementarity-determining region” (CDR). Generally, a variable domain contains three CDRs. Therefore, antibodies containing VH and VL contain six CDRs; three in VH (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) and three in VL (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3). Illustrative CDRs as used herein include: (a) Hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), 91-96 (L3), 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)); (b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31-35b (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991)); and (c) Antigen contact occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J.Mol.Biol.262:732-745 (1996)).
[0052] Unless otherwise specified, CDR is determined according to Kabat et al. cited above. Those skilled in the art will understand that the designation of CDR may also be determined according to Chothia, McCallum, or any other scientifically recognized nomenclature cited above.
[0053] "Framework" or "FR" refers to variable domain residues other than the complementarity-determining region (CDR). The variable domain FR generally consists of the following four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Therefore, HVR and FR sequences generally appear in the following order in the VH and VHH domains (or VL): FR1-HCDR1(LCDR1)-FR2-HCDR2(LCDR2)-FR3-HCDR3(LCDR3)-FR4. Unless otherwise specified, CDR residues and other residues within the variable domains (e.g., FR residues) are numbered herein according to Kabat et al. cited above.
[0054] In this specification, the term “immunoglobulin molecule” refers to a protein having the structure of a naturally occurring antibody. For example, IgG-class immunoglobulins are heterotetrameric glycoproteins with a weight of approximately 150,000 daltons, composed of two disulfide-linked light chains and two heavy chains. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable domain (VH), also called a variable heavy chain domain or heavy chain variable region, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3), also called heavy chain constant regions. Similarly, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each light chain has a variable domain (VL), also called a variable light chain domain or light chain variable region, followed by a constant light chain (CL) domain, also called a light chain constant region. The heavy chain of an immunoglobulin can be assigned to one of five types called α(IgA), δ(IgD), ε(IgE), γ(IgG), or μ(IgM), some of which can be further divided into subtypes such as γ1(IgG1), γ2(IgG2), γ3(IgG3), γ4(IgG4), α1(IgA1), and α2(IgA2). The light chain of an immunoglobulin may be assigned to one of two types called kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain. An immunoglobulin essentially consists of two Fab molecules and an Fc domain, which are linked via an immunoglobulin hinge region.
[0055] The “class” of an antibody or immunoglobulin refers to the type of constant domain or constant region present in the heavy chain of the antibody or immunoglobulin. Antibodies have five main classes: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, some of which can be further divided into “subclasses” (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains corresponding to different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.
[0056] A "Fab molecule," "Fab," "Fab fragment," or "Fab domain" refers to a protein consisting of the VH domain and CH1 domain of the immunoglobulin heavy chain ("Fab heavy chain") and the VL domain and CL domain of the immunoglobulin light chain ("Fab light chain").
[0057] A “cross-Fab molecule,” “cross-Fab,” or “crossover Fab molecule” refers to a Fab molecule in which either the variable or constant regions of the heavy and light chains are exchanged. The cross-Fab operation allows for two different chain compositions of a cross-Fab molecule. In one case, the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of the Fab are exchanged, meaning the cross-Fab molecule includes a peptide chain consisting of a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain constant region (CH1) (where CH1 may be fused to an Fc domain), and a peptide chain consisting of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain constant region (CL). On the other hand, when the constant regions of the Fab heavy and light chains are exchanged, the cross-Fab molecule includes a peptide chain consisting of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain constant region (CL) (where CL may be fused to an Fc domain), and a peptide chain consisting of a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain constant region (CH1).
[0058] The term "conventional Fab molecule" refers to a Fab molecule composed of a Fab heavy chain containing VH and CH1 domains and a Fab light chain containing VL and CL domains.
[0059] A "single-strand variable fragment" or "scFv" molecule is a fusion protein of the variable domains of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains of an antibody, linked by a linker. Specifically, the linker is a short polypeptide of 10-25 amino acids, usually rich in glycine for flexibility and serine or threonine for solubility, and can connect the N-terminus of the VH to the C-terminus of the VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody despite the removal of the constant region and the introduction of the linker.
[0060] The term "multispecificity" means that a binding molecule (e.g., an antibody) can specifically bind to at least two different antigens. A multispecific binding molecule (e.g., an antibody) can be, for example, a bispecific binding molecule. Typically, a bispecific binding molecule contains two antigen-binding sites, each specific to a different antigen. In certain embodiments, a multispecific (e.g., bispecific) binding molecule can simultaneously bind to two antigens, particularly two antigens expressed on the same cell, adjacent cells, or cells within the same tissue.
[0061] As used herein, the term "valence" refers to the presence of a specific number of antigen-binding sites within the binding molecule. Therefore, the term "monovalent binding to an antigen" indicates the presence of one (and no more than one) antigen-specific antigen-binding sites within the binding molecule.
[0062] As used herein, the term “antigen” refers to a molecule, such as a protein, to which an antigen-binding molecule binds. Useful antigens may be found, for example, on the surface of tumor cells, tumor stromal cells, virus-infected cells, other diseased cells, immune cells, released in serum, and / or in the extracellular matrix (ECM). In certain embodiments, the antigen is a human protein.
[0063] As used herein, the term “epitope” refers to a site on an antigen to which an antigen-binding site binds. Epitopes can be formed from a stretch of consecutive amino acids or from a configuration consisting of different regions of discontinuous amino acids. Epitopes often contain chemically active surface groups of the antigen, such as amino acids, glycan side chains, phosphoryl or sulfonyl groups, and may have specific three-dimensional structural properties and / or specific charge properties. Two different antigen-binding domains capable of binding to the same antigen may bind to different epitopes of that antigen. Such different antigen-binding domains are said not to compete for binding if both antigen-binding domains can bind to the antigen simultaneously. In this case, the two different antigen-binding domains are non-competitive. Alternatively, antigen-binding domains may compete for binding, i.e., exhibit competitive binding. This may result from partially overlapping epitopes or from steric hindrance preventing simultaneous binding of the two antigen-binding domains. Assays for determining whether an antigen-binding domain exhibits non-competitive or competitive binding are well known in the art and include competitive binding analyses using ELISA, RIA, surface plasmon resonance, flow cytometry, or any other quantitative or qualitative antibody binding assay available in the art.
[0064] As used herein, “target antigen” refers to an antigen presented on the surface of a target cell, such as an antigen on a cell in a tumor, such as a cancer cell or a cell in the tumor stroma, or an antigen on a T cell.
[0065] As used herein, “tumor-associated antigen” refers to any antigen presented on the surface of cells in a tumor, such as cancer cells or cells in the tumor stroma. Specific tumor-associated antigens include CEA, FAP, Her2, Her3, or EGFR.
[0066] The term “fibroblast-activating protein (FAP),” also known as prolyl endopeptidase FAP or seplacase (EC3.4.21), means any native FAP derived from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans), non-human primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. FAP is expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumor stroma. The term encompasses not only “full-length,” unprocessed FAP, but also any form of FAP resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of FAP, such as splice variants or allele variants. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule of the present invention can specifically bind to human, mouse, and / or cynomolgus monkey FAP. The amino acid sequence of human FAP is shown in UniProt (www.uniprot.org) accession number Q12884 (version 149) or NCBI (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ) RefSeq NP_004451.2. The extracellular domain (ECD) of human FAP extends from amino acid position 26 to 760. The amino acid sequence of mouse FAP is shown in UniProt accession number P97321 (version 126) or NCBI RefSeq NP_032012.1. The extracellular domain (ECD) of mouse FAP extends from amino acid position 26 to 761. Preferably, the anti-FAP binding molecule binds to the extracellular domain of FAP. Exemplary anti-FAP binding molecules are described in international patent applications WO2012 / 020006A2 and WO2020 / 070041A1.
[0067] The term "carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)," also known as carcinoembryonic antigen-associated cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5), refers, unless otherwise specified, to any native CEA derived from any vertebrate source, including primates (e.g., humans), non-human primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), and mammals such as rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The amino acid sequence of human CEA is shown in UniProt accession number P06731 (version 151). CEA has long been identified as a tumor-associated antigen (Gold and Freedman, J Exp Med., 121:439-462, 1965; Berinstein NL, J Clin Oncol., 20:2197-2207, 2002). Originally classified as a protein expressed only in fetal tissues, CEA has now been identified in several healthy adult tissues. These tissues are primarily epithelial in origin, including cells of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, as well as cells of the colon, cervix, sweat glands, and prostate (Nap et al., Tumor Biol., 9(2-3):145-53, 1988; Nap et al., Cancer Res., 52(8):2329-23339, 1992). Epithelial tumors and their metastases contain CEA as a tumor-associated antigen. The presence of CEA itself does not necessarily mean transformation into cancer cells, but it indicates the distribution of CEA. In normal tissues, CEA is generally expressed on the apical surface of cells (Hammarstrom S., Semin Cancer Biol. 9(2):67-81(1999)), preventing it from reaching antibodies in the bloodstream. In contrast to normal tissue, CEA tends to be expressed across the entire surface of cancer cells (Hammarstrom S., Semin Cancer Biol. 9(2):67-81 (1999)). This change in expression pattern makes CEA more likely to bind to antibodies within cancer cells. Furthermore, CEA expression increases in cancer cells. In addition, increased CEA expression promotes increased cell-cell adhesion, which may lead to metastasis (Marshall J., Semin Oncol., 30(a Suppl. 8):30-6, 2003).The prevalence of CEA expression in various tumor entities is generally very high. In line with published data, independent analyses performed on tissue samples confirmed this high prevalence: approximately 95% in colorectal carcinoma (CRC), 90% in pancreatic cancer, 80% in gastric cancer, 60% in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, co-expressing with HER3), and 40% in breast cancer. Lower expression rates were observed in small cell lung cancer and glioblastoma.
[0068] "HER2" (also known as erbB-2 or CD340) refers to any native HER2 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans), non-human primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The term encompasses not only "full-length" unprocessed HER2, but also any form of HER2 resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of HER2, such as splice variants or allele variants. In one embodiment, HER2 is human HER2. The amino acid sequence of human HER2 is shown in UniProt (www.uniprot.org) entry number Q9UK79 (version 95).
[0069] "Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)," also known as the proto-oncogene c-ErbB-1 or receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-1, refers to any native EGFR from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans), non-human primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The amino acid sequence of human EGFR is shown in UniProt accession number P00533.
[0070] As used herein, "T cell antigen" refers to any antigen present on the surface of a T lymphocyte.
[0071] The term "PD-1," also known as CD279, PD1, or programmed cell death protein 1, refers to any native PD-1 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans), non-human primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), in particular human protein PD-1 having the amino acid sequence shown in UniProt (www.uniprot.org) accession number Q15116.
[0072] As used herein, the terms “interferon-gamma,” “IFNγ,” or “IFN-γ” refer to any native IFNγ of any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The term encompasses unprocessed IFNγ as well as any form of IFNγ resulting from processing in cells. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IFNγ, e.g., splice variants or allele variants.
[0073] As used herein, the terms “interleukin-2” or “IL-2” refer to any native IL-2 from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The term encompasses unprocessed IL-2 and any form of IL-2 resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IL-2, e.g., splice variants or allele variants.
[0074] Cytokine receptors are cell surface glycoproteins that specifically bind to cytokines and transmit their signals. Generally, cytokine receptors function as oligomeric complexes consisting of 2 to 4 receptor chains, also called subunits, which may be the same or different. Therefore, the term “cytokine receptor complex” refers to a cytokine receptor composed of at least two subunits.
[0075] The IFNγ receptor complex comprises the IFNγR1 subunit and the IFNγR2 subunit. The terms “interferon gamma receptor 1” or “IFNγR1,” also called CD119 (differentiation cluster 119) or interferon gamma receptor α chain (IFNγRα), refer to any native IFNγR1 from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed IFNγR1 and any form of IFNγR1 resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IFNγR1, e.g., splice variants or allele variants. In certain embodiments, IFNγR1 is human IFNγR1.
[0076] The term “interferon-gamma receptor 2” or “IFNγR2,” also known as interferon-gamma receptor β chain (IFNγRβ), refers, unless otherwise specified, to any native IFNγR2 from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed IFNγR2 and any form of IFNγR2 resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IFNγR2, e.g., splice variants or allele variants. In certain embodiments, IFNγR2 is human IFNγR2.
[0077] The terms “IL-2Rα” or “α-subunit of the IL-2 receptor,” also known as CD25, as used herein, refer to any native IL-2Rα from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise specified. The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed IL-2Rα and any form of IL-2Rα resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IL-2Rα, e.g., splice variants or allele variants. In certain embodiments, IL-2Rα is human IL-2Rα.
[0078] The term “IL-2Rβ” or “the β-subunit of the IL-2 receptor,” also known as CD122 or p70, refers, unless otherwise specified, to any native IL-2Rβ from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed IL-2Rβ and any form of IL-2Rβ resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IL-2Rβ, e.g., splice variants or allele variants. In certain embodiments, IL-2Rβ is human IL-2Rβ.
[0079] The term “IL-2Rγ” or “the γ subunit of the IL-2 receptor,” also known as the common cytokine receptor γ subunit, common γ chain, γc, or CD132, refers, unless otherwise specified, to any native IL-2Rγ from any vertebrate source, including mammals, e.g., primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed IL-2Rγ and any form of IL-2Rγ resulting from intracellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of IL-2Rγ, e.g., splice variants or allele variants. In certain embodiments, IL-2Rγ is human IL-2Rγ.
[0080] Different associations of the individual IL-2R subunits IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ, and IL-2Rγ can produce three IL-2R forms with different affinities to IL-2. High-affinity IL-2R refers to the heterotrimeric form of IL-2R consisting of IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ, and IL-2Rγ. Intermediate-affinity IL-2R refers to the heterodimeric form of IL-2R consisting of IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ. On the other hand, low-affinity IL-2R refers to the monomeric form of IL-2R consisting of IL-2Rα alone (for a review, see, for example, Olejniczak and Kasprzak, Med Sci Monit 14, RA179-189 (2008)).
[0081] As used herein, the term “IL-2 receptor complex” refers to either a high-affinity IL-2 receptor or an intermediate-affinity IL-2 receptor.
[0082] In this specification, the terms “Fc domain” or “Fc region” are used to define the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that includes at least a portion of the constant region. This term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one embodiment, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226 or Pro230 to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, antibodies produced by host cells may undergo post-translational cleavage of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of the heavy chain, particularly one or two amino acids. Thus, by expression of certain nucleic acid molecules encoding a full-length heavy chain, antibodies produced by host cells may contain the full-length heavy chain or cleaved variants of the full-length heavy chain. This is the case when the last two C-terminal amino acids of the heavy chain are glycine (G446) and lysine (K447, numbered according to the Kabat EU index). Therefore, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) or C-terminal glycine (Gly446) and lysine (Lys447) in the Fc region may or may not be present. In one embodiment, the heavy chain containing the Fc region (subunit) specified herein, as included in the binding molecule according to the present invention, includes an additional C-terminal lysine (K447, numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In one embodiment, the heavy chain containing the Fc region (subunit) specified herein, as included in the binding molecule according to the present invention, includes a C-terminal glycine residue (G446, numbered according to the Kabat EU index) but does not include a C-terminal lysine (Lys477). Unless otherwise specified herein, the numbering of amino acid residues within the Fc region or constant region follows the EU numbering system, also known as the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991 (see also above).As used herein, the term "subunit" of an Fc domain means one of the two polypeptides that form the dimeric Fc domain, i.e., a polypeptide that contains the C-terminal constant region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain and is capable of stable self-assembly. For example, a subunit of an IgG Fc domain contains the IgG CH2 and IgG CH3 constant domains.
[0083] "Modifications that promote the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain" are manipulations of the peptide backbone or post-translational modifications of the Fc domain subunits that reduce or prevent the association of a peptide containing an Fc domain subunit with an identical polypeptide for homodimer formation. As used herein, association-promoting modifications preferably involve distinct modifications made to each of two Fc domain subunits that are desired to associate (i.e., the first and second subunits of the Fc domain), and these modifications are complementary to each other in order to promote the association of the two Fc domain subunits. For example, the association-promoting modifications may alter the structure or charge of one or both of the Fc domain subunits so that they perform a sterically or electrostatically desired association, respectively. Thus, (hetero)dimerization occurs between a polypeptide containing a first Fc domain subunit and a polypeptide containing a second Fc domain subunit, which may not be identical in the sense that the further components fused to each subunit (e.g., antigen-binding domains) are not the same. In one embodiment, the modification that facilitates the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain includes an amino acid mutation, specifically an amino acid substitution, within the Fc domain. In a particular embodiment, the modification that facilitates the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain includes separate amino acid mutations, specifically amino acid substitutions, in each of the two subunits of the Fc domain.
[0084] One heterodimerization approach known in the art is the so-called "knob-into-hole" technique, which is described in detail with several examples, for example, in International Publication No. 96 / 027011, Ridgway, JB, et al., Protein Eng. 9 (1996) 617-621; Merchant, AM, et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 16 (1998) 677-681, and International Publication No. 98 / 050431. In the "knob-into-hole" technique, specific amino acids on each CH3 domain are manipulated to create a projection ("knob") on one CH3 domain and a cavity ("hole") on the other CH3 domain within the interface formed between two CH3 domains in the tertiary structure of the antibody. In the tertiary structure of a multispecific antibody, the introduced projection of one CH3 domain can be positioned within the introduced cavity of the other CH3 domain.
[0085] The term "effector function" refers to the biological activity resulting from the Fc region of an antibody, which varies depending on the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding and complement-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CDC); Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP); cytokine secretion; immunoconjugate-mediated antigen uptake by antigen-presenting cells; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors); and B cell activation.
[0086] An "activated Fc receptor" is an Fc receptor that, following the binding of the antibody's Fc domain, triggers a signaling event that stimulates receptor-hosting cells to perform effector functions. Examples of human activated Fc receptors include FcγRIIIa (CD16a), FcγRI (CD64), FcγRIIa (CD32), and FcαRI (CD89).
[0087] Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an immune mechanism in which immune effector cells lyse antibody-coated target cells. Target cells are cells to which antibodies or derivatives containing an Fc region specifically bind, typically via a protein moiety at the N-terminus of the Fc region. As used herein, the term “reduced ADCC” is defined as either a reduction in the number of target cells lysed at a given time by a given concentration of antibody in the culture medium surrounding the target cells via the ADCC mechanism as defined above, and / or an increase in the concentration of antibody in the culture medium surrounding the target cells required to achieve the lysis of a given number of target cells at a given time via the ADCC mechanism. ADCC reduction is compared to unmanipulated ADCC mediated by the same antibody produced by the same type of host cells using the same standard production, purification, formulation, and storage methods (known to those skilled in the art). For example, ADCC reduction mediated by an antibody containing an amino acid substitution in its Fc domain that reduces ADCC is compared to ADCC mediated by the same antibody that does not contain this amino acid substitution in its Fc domain. Appropriate assays for measuring ADCC are well known in the art (see, for example, PCT Publication No. 2006 / 082515 or PCT Publication No. 2012 / 130831).
[0088] "Reduced binding," for example, reduced binding to the Fc receptor, refers to a decrease in affinity for each interaction, as measured, for example, by SPR. For clarity, this term also includes a reduction in affinity to zero (or below the detection limit of the analytical method), i.e., complete termination of the interaction. Conversely, "increased binding" refers to an increase in binding affinity for each interaction.
[0089] "Affinity" refers to the sum of the non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise indicated, "binding affinity" as used herein refers to the intrinsic binding affinity that reflects the 1:1 interaction between the members of a binding pair (e.g., an antibody and an antigen). The affinity of molecule X for its partner Y can generally be expressed by its dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by well-established methods known in the art, including those described herein. A preferred method for measuring affinity is surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
[0090] As used herein, the terms “to manipulate,” “to be manipulated,” and “to manipulate” are considered to include any manipulation or post-translational modification of the peptide backbone of naturally occurring or recombinant polypeptides or fragments thereof. Manipulation includes alteration of amino acid sequences, alteration of glycosylation patterns, or modification of the side chain groups of individual amino acids, and combinations thereof.
[0091] As used herein, the term “amino acid mutation” encompasses amino acid substitutions, deletions, insertions, and modifications. Any combination of substitutions, deletions, insertions, and modifications can be made to arrive at the final construct, insofar as the final construct has the desired characteristics, e.g., reduced binding to the Fc receptor or increased association with another peptide. Deletions and insertions of amino acid sequences include deletions and insertions of amino and / or carboxyl terminals of amino acids. The preferred amino acid mutation is amino acid substitution. For example, to alter the binding properties of the Fc region, non-conservative amino acid substitution, i.e., replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having different structural and / or chemical properties, is particularly preferred. Amino acid substitutions include substitutions with non-natural amino acids or substitutions with natural amino acid derivatives of 20 standard amino acids (e.g., 4-hydroxyproline, 3-methylhistidine, ornithine, homoserine, 5-hydroxylysine). Amino acid mutations can be induced using genetic or chemical methods well known in the art. Genetic methods may include site-directed mutagenesis, PCR, gene synthesis, etc. Methods other than genetic manipulation to alter the side chain groups of amino acids, such as chemical modifications, may also be useful. Various names can be used herein to indicate the same amino acid mutation. For example, a substitution of proline to glycine at position 329 of the Fc domain can be denoted as 329G, G329, G329, P329G, or Pro329Gly.
[0092] "Fused" means that components (e.g., the Fab molecule and the Fc domain subunit) are linked directly by peptide bonds or via one or more peptide linkers. The term "fusion site" refers to a site on one component where that component is fused to another. For example, the cytokine receptor binding domain may be fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of the VH domain of the target binding domain. Therefore, the fusion site on the cytokine receptor binding domain is the C-terminus, and the fusion site on the target binding domain is the N-terminus.
[0093] The "amino acid sequence identity percentage (%)" for a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to those in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences to obtain the maximum possible sequence identity and introducing gaps as necessary, without considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for determining the amino acid sequence identity percentage can be achieved in various ways within the scope of the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, Clustal W, Megalign (DNASTAR) software, or FASTA program packages. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for sequence alignment, including any algorithm necessary to achieve the maximum possible alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. Alternatively, the percentage identity value can be generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was created by Genentech, Inc., and its source code is filed in the user documentation of the US Copyright Office (Washington DC, 20559), registered under US Copyright Registration No. TXU510087, and published in International Publication No. 2001 / 007611.
[0094] Unless otherwise specified, for the purposes of this specification, amino acid sequence identity % values are generated using the ggsearch program in FASTA package version 36.3.8c or later, along with the BLOSUM50 comparison matrix. The FASTA program package was created by WRPearson and DJLipman ("Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85(1988) 2444-2448), WRPearson ("Effective protein sequence comparison", MethEnzymol. 266(1996) 227-25 258) and Pearson et al.

[0095] Alternatively, you can use the public server accessible at fasta.bioch.virginia.edu / fasta_www2 / index.cgi to perform a global alignment (not just a local one) and compare sequences using the ggsearch(global protein:protein) program with default options (BLOSUM50;open:-10;ext:-2;Ktup=2). The amino acid identity percentage is shown in the output alignment header.
[0096] Cytokine mimetic The inventors have found that a pair of antigen-binding domains (hereinafter referred to as cytokine receptor-binding domains) capable of binding to different cytokine receptor subunits of a cytokine receptor complex can act as a cytokine agonist, i.e., mimic naturally occurring cytokines. Cytokine agonists are also called cytokine mimes. This is demonstrated by combining a pair of cytokine receptor-binding domains capable of binding to different cytokine receptor subunits in a single antigen-binding molecule. The antibody format of these molecules may offer advantageous properties compared to natural or recombinant cytokines. To achieve conditional activation of cytokine receptors, the pair of cytokine receptor-binding domains was split into two different antigen-binding molecules, i.e., split molecules or split antibodies. These antigen-binding molecules further include antigen-binding domains (hereinafter referred to as target-binding domains) capable of binding to a target antigen. Target-dependent assembly of cytokine receptor-binding domain pairs allows the molecules to act as cytokine mimes. Using a target-dependent approach makes it even possible to direct agonist activity to a desired site, such as cells or tissues expressing the target. The target-binding domains of a molecule can simultaneously bind to the same target antigen; that is, they bind to different epitopes of the antigen and are non-competitive. Such a pair of target-binding domains is also called a biparatopic target-binding domain. The assembly of a cytokine receptor-binding domain by a biparatopic target-binding domain allows the cytokine receptor-binding domain to specifically target the site of interest, i.e., the cell or environment in which the target antigen is expressed, and act as a cytokine mimetic. Therefore, a split antigen-binding molecule pair is a biparatopic antigen-binding molecule pair.
[0097] Split biparatopic antigen-binding molecule pair In one embodiment, the present invention provides a pair of antigen-binding molecules that specifically bind to a target antigen, comprising: a) i) a first target-binding domain, ii) a first cytokine receptor-binding domain, and iii) an Fc domain; and a second antigen-binding molecule comprising i) a second target-binding domain, ii) a second cytokine receptor-binding domain, and iii) an Fc domain, wherein the first target-binding domain can bind to a first epitope of the target antigen, the second target-binding domain can bind to a second epitope of the target antigen, the first and second target-binding domains do not compete for binding to the target antigen; the first cytokine receptor-binding domain can bind to a first cytokine receptor subunit, and the second cytokine receptor-binding domain can bind to a second cytokine receptor subunit.
[0098] The antigen-binding molecule pairs described above and herein may incorporate any of the features described below, either individually or in combination, unless the context indicates otherwise.

The first antigen-binding molecule includes a first cytokine receptor-binding domain, and the second antigen-binding molecule includes a second cytokine receptor-binding domain. The cytokine receptor-binding domains contained in the antigen-binding molecule pair bind to different cytokine receptor subunits. Each cytokine receptor-binding domain in the antigen-binding molecule pair binds to different cytokine receptor subunits of the cytokine receptor complex. Therefore, the first antigen-binding molecule includes a first cytokine receptor-binding domain that can bind to a first cytokine receptor subunit, and the second antigen-binding molecule includes a second cytokine receptor-binding domain that can bind to a second cytokine receptor subunit. The first and second cytokine receptor subunits are subunits of the cytokine receptor complex.
[0100] The cytokine receptor complex may be an IFNγ receptor complex, an IL-2 receptor complex, an IL-7 receptor complex, an IL-12 receptor complex, or an IL-18 receptor complex. Therefore, the first and second cytokine receptor binding domains may bind to different subunits of the IFNγ receptor complex, IL-2 receptor complex, IL-7 receptor complex, IL-12 receptor complex, or IL-18 receptor complex. In one embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain and the second cytokine receptor binding domain bind to a subunit of the IFNγ receptor complex. Thus, in one embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain may bind to IFNγR1 and the second cytokine receptor binding domain may bind to IFNγR2. Alternatively, the first cytokine receptor binding domain may bind to IFNγR2 and the second cytokine receptor binding domain may bind to IFNγR1.

Therefore, in one embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-2Rβ and the second cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-2Rγ. In another embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain and the second cytokine receptor binding domain bind to a subunit of the IL-7 receptor complex. Therefore, in one embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-7Rα and the second cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-2Rγ. In yet another embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain and the second cytokine receptor binding domain bind to a subunit of the IL-12 receptor complex.Therefore, in one embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-12Rβ1, and the second cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-12Rβ2. In another embodiment, the first cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-12Rβ2, and the second cytokine receptor binding domain can bind to IL-12Rβ1.

The first antigen-binding molecule includes a first target-binding domain, and the second antigen-binding molecule includes a second target-binding domain. Both the first and second target-binding domains bind to the same target, i.e., the same antigen. However, the first and second target-binding domains bind to different epitopes of the target. The first target-binding domain can bind to a first epitope on the target antigen, and the second target-binding domain can bind to a second epitope on the target antigen. The first and second target-binding domains can bind to the target simultaneously; that is, the target-binding domains are non-competitive domains.

[0110] The target antigen may be a tumor-associated antigen such as CEA, FAP, Her2, Her3, or EGFR. The target antigen may be a human tumor-associated antigen.

[0113] FC Domain According to the present invention, the first antigen-binding molecule and the second antigen-binding molecule contain an Fc domain.
[0114] The Fc domain of the binding molecule consists of a polypeptide chain pair, a first Fc domain subunit, and a second Fc domain subunit. The first and second Fc domain subunits may contain the heavy chain domains of the immunoglobulin molecule. For example, the Fc domain of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecule is a dimer, and each of its subunits contains the CH2 and CH3 IgG heavy chain constant domains. The two subunits of the Fc domain can stably associate with each other.
[0115] In one embodiment, the first antigen-binding molecule includes an Fc domain composed of first and second Fc domain subunits, and / or the second antigen-binding molecule includes an Fc domain composed of first and second Fc domain subunits. In one embodiment, the first antigen-binding molecule includes an Fc domain composed of first and second Fc domain subunits, and the second antigen-binding molecule includes an Fc domain composed of first and second Fc domain subunits. In one embodiment, each antigen-binding molecule includes not more than one Fc domain.
[0116] In one embodiment, the Fc domain of the first and / or second antigen-binding molecule may be an IgG Fc domain. In a particular embodiment, the Fc domain is an IgG1Fc domain. In another particular embodiment, the Fc domain is an IgG4Fc domain.
[0117] In a more specific embodiment, the Fc domain is an IgG4Fc domain containing an amino acid substitution at position S228 (Kabat EU index numbering), particularly the amino acid substitution S228P. This amino acid substitution reduces Fab arm exchange of IgG4 antibodies in vivo (see Stubenrauch et al., Drug Metabolism and Disposition 38, 84-91 (2010)). In a further embodiment, the Fc domain is a human Fc domain. In a particular embodiment, the Fc domain is a human IgG1Fc domain.
[0118] In one embodiment, the Fc domain includes modifications that promote the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain. Further Fc domain modifications that promote heterodimerization are described below.
[0119] In one embodiment, the Fc domain includes one or more amino acid substitutions that reduce Fc receptor binding and / or effector function. Further Fc domain modifications that reduce Fc receptor binding and / or effector function are described below.
[0120] Fc domain modification that promotes heterodimerization The antigen-binding molecule according to the present invention comprises a target-binding domain and a cytokine receptor-binding domain that can be fused to a first and / or second Fc domain subunit, and thus the two Fc domain subunits are typically contained in two non-identical polypeptide chains. Recombinant co-expression of these polypeptides and subsequent dimerization result in several possible combinations of the two polypeptides. To increase the yield and purity of the antigen-binding molecule in recombinant production, it is advantageous to introduce modifications to the Fc domain of the antigen-binding molecule that promote the association of the desired polypeptide.
[0121] Therefore, in certain embodiments, the Fc domain of the antigen-binding molecule according to the present invention includes modifications that facilitate the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain. The site of the longest protein-protein interaction between the two subunits of the human IgG Fc domain is located within the CH3 domain of the Fc domain. Therefore, in one embodiment, the modification is located within the CH3 domain of the Fc domain.
[0122] To enhance heterodimerization, several approaches exist for modifying the CH3 domain of the Fc domain, which are well described, for example, in International Publications 96 / 27011, 98 / 050431, European Patent No. 1870459, 2007 / 110205, 2007 / 147901, 2009 / 089004, 2010 / 129304, 2011 / 90754, 2011 / 143545, 2012058768, 2013157954, and 2013096291. Typically, in all such approaches, the CH3 domain of the first subunit of the Fc domain and the CH3 domain of the second subunit of the Fc domain are both designed complementaryly so that each CH3 domain (or the heavy chain that comprises it) cannot homodimerize on its own, but is forced to heterodimerize with other complementaryly engineered CH3 domains (so that the first and second CH3 domains heterodimerize and homodimers are not formed between two first or two second CH3 domains).
[0123] In a specific embodiment, the modification that facilitates the association between the first and second subunits of the Fc domain is a so-called "knob-into-hole" modification, which includes a "knob" modification on one of the two subunits of the Fc domain and a "hole" modification on the other of the two subunits of the Fc domain.
[0124] The knob-into-hole technique is described, for example, in U.S. Patents 5,731,168, 7,695,936, Ridgway et al., Prot Eng 9,617-621 (1996), and Carter, J Immunol Meth 248,7-15 (2001). Generally, this method involves introducing a projection ("knob") at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding cavity ("hole") at the interface of a second polypeptide, so that the projection can be positioned within the cavity to promote heterodimerization and inhibit homodimerization. The projection is constructed by replacing a small amino acid side chain from the interface of the first polypeptide with a larger side chain (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan).
[0125] A compensatory cavity of the same or similar size as the protrusion is formed at the interface of the second polypeptide by replacing a larger amino acid side chain with a smaller amino acid side chain (e.g., alanine or threonine).
[0126] Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, in the CH3 domain of the first subunit of the Fc domain of the antigen-binding molecule, an amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a larger side chain volume, thereby generating a repositionable protrusion within the CH3 domain of the first subunit within the cavity in the CH3 domain of the second subunit, and in the CH3 domain of the second subunit of the Fc domain, an amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a smaller side chain volume, thereby generating a cavity within the CH3 domain of the second subunit, within which the protrusion within the CH3 domain of the first subunit is repositionable.
[0127] Preferably, the amino acid residue having a larger side chain volume is selected from the group consisting of arginine (R), phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y), and tryptophan (W). Preferably, the amino acid residue having a smaller side chain volume is selected from the group consisting of alanine (A), serine (S), threonine (T), and valine (V). The protrusions and cavities can be created by altering the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide, for example, by site-directed mutagenesis or by peptide synthesis.
[0128] In a specific embodiment, in the CH3 domain of the first subunit ("knob" subunit) of the Fc domain, the threonine residue at position 366 is replaced with a tryptophan residue (T366W), and in the CH3 domain of the second subunit ("whole" subunit) of the Fc domain, the tyrosine residue at position 407 is replaced with a valine residue (Y407V). In another embodiment, in the second subunit of the Fc domain, the threonine residue at position 366 is further replaced with a serine residue (T366S), and the leucine residue at position 368 is replaced with an alanine residue (L368A) (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0129] In further embodiments, the first subunit of the Fc domain may be further modified by replacing the serine residue at position 354 with a cysteine residue (S354C) or the glutamic acid residue at position 356 with a cysteine residue (E356C) (particularly the replacement of the serine residue at position 354 with a cysteine residue), or the second subunit of the Fc domain may be further modified by replacing the tyrosine residue at position 349 with a cysteine residue (Y349C) (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). The introduction of these two cysteine residues leads to the formation of a disulfide bridge between the two subunits of the Fc domain, further stabilizing the dimer (Carter, J Immunol Methods 248, 7-15 (2001)).
[0130] In certain embodiments, the first subunit of the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions S354C and T366W, and the second subunit of the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions Y349C, T366S, L368A and Y407V (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0131] Other techniques for CH3 modification that enhance heterodimerization have been considered as alternatives to the present invention and are described, for example, in International Publication Nos. 96 / 27011, 98 / 050431, European Patent No. 1870459, International Publication Nos. 2007 / 110205, 2007 / 147901, 2009 / 089004, 2010 / 129304, 2011 / 90754, 2011 / 143545, 2012 / 058768, 2013 / 157954, and 2013 / 096291.
[0132] In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in European Patent No. 1870459 is used instead. This approach is based on the introduction of oppositely charged amino acids to specific amino acid positions at the CH3 / CH3 domain interface between two subunits of the Fc domain.

In one embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation T366K, and the second CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation L351D (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In a further embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains a further amino acid mutation L351K. In a further embodiment, the second CH3 domain further contains amino acid mutations selected from Y349E, Y349D, and L368E (particularly L368E) (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0137] In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in International Publication No. 2012 / 058768 is used instead. In one embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains amino acid mutations L351Y, Y407A, and the second CH3 domain contains amino acid mutations T366A, K409F. In a further embodiment, the second CH3 domain contains further amino acid mutations at positions T411, D399, S400, F405, N390, or K392, e.g., a) T411N, T411R, T411Q, T411K, T411D, T411E, or T411W, b) D399R, D399W, D399Y The amino acid mutations include D399K, c) S400E, S400D, S400R or S400K, d) F405I, F405M, F405T, F405S, F405V or F405W, e) N390R, N390K or N390D, f) K392V, K392M, K392R, K392L, K392F or K392E (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).

[0138] In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in International Publication No. 2011 / 143545 is used alternatively by amino acid modification at a position selected from the group consisting of, for example, 368 and 409 (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0139] In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in International Publication No. 2011 / 090762, which also uses the knob-into-hole technique described above, is used as an alternative. In one embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation T366W and the second CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation Y407A. In another embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation T366Y and the second CH3 domain contains the amino acid mutation Y407T (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0140] In one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule or its Fc domain is an IgG2 subclass, and the heterodimerization approach described in WO 2010 / 129304 is used as an alternative.
[0141] In alternative embodiments, modifications that facilitate the association of the first and second subunits of the Fc domain include modifications that mediate an electrostatic steering effect, such as those described in International Publication No. 2009 / 089004. Generally, this method involves the substitution of one or more amino acid residues with charged amino acid residues at the interface of the two Fc domain subunits such that homodimerization is electrostatically undesirable, but heterodimerization is electrostatically desirable. In some such embodiments, the first CH3 domain includes an amino acid substitution of K392 or N392 with a negatively charged amino acid (e.g., glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D), particularly K392D or N392D), and the second CH3 domain includes an amino acid substitution of D399, E356, D356, or E357 with a positively charged amino acid (e.g., lysine (K) or arginine (R), particularly D399K, E356K, D356K, or E357K, more specifically D399K and E356K). In further embodiments, the first CH3 domain further includes an amino acid substitution of K409 or R409 with a negatively charged amino acid (e.g., glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D), particularly K409D or R409D). In a further embodiment, the first CH3 domain further or alternatively comprises amino acid substitutions of K439 and / or K370 with negatively charged amino acids (e.g., glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D)) (all numbering is by Kabat EU index).
[0142] In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in International Publication No. 2007 / 147901 is used instead. In one embodiment, the first CH3 domain contains amino acid mutations K253E, D282K, and K322D, and the second CH3 domain contains amino acid mutations D239K, E240K, and K292D (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In one embodiment, the heterodimerization approach described in International Publication No. 2007 / 110205 may be used as an alternative.
[0143] In one embodiment, the first subunit of the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions K392D and K409D, and the second subunit of the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions D356K and D399K (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0144] Fc domain modification that reduces Fc receptor binding and / or effector function. The Fc domain confers favorable pharmacokinetic properties to antigen-binding molecules, including a long serum half-life that contributes to good accumulation in target tissues and a favorable tissue-to-blood distribution ratio. However, at the same time, it can lead to undesirable targeting of binding molecules to cells expressing the Fc receptor rather than the desired antigen-containing cells. Furthermore, co-activation of the Fc receptor signaling pathway can lead to cytokine release, which can result in hyperactivation of cytokine receptors and serious side effects upon systemic administration. Activation of immune cells other than T cells (that possess the Fc receptor) can even reduce the effectiveness of antigen-binding molecule pairs, for example, due to the potential destruction of T cells by NK cells.
[0145] Therefore, in certain embodiments, the Fc domain of the antigen-binding molecule according to the present invention exhibits reduced binding affinity to the Fc receptor and / or reduced effector function compared to the native IgG1Fc domain. In some such embodiments, the Fc domain (or the antigen-binding molecule containing said Fc domain) exhibits a binding affinity to the Fc receptor of less than 50%, specifically less than 20%, more specifically less than 10%, and most specifically less than 5%, compared to the native IgG1Fc domain (or the antigen-binding molecule containing the native IgG1Fc domain), and / or an effector function of less than 50%, specifically less than 20%, more specifically less than 10%, and most specifically less than 5%, compared to the native IgG1Fc domain (or the antigen-binding molecule containing the native IgG1Fc domain). In one embodiment, the Fc domain (or the antigen-binding molecule containing said Fc domain) does not substantially bind to the Fc receptor and / or induce effector function. In certain embodiments, the Fc receptor is the Fcγ receptor. In one embodiment, the Fc receptor is the human Fc receptor. In one embodiment, the Fc receptor is an activated Fc receptor. In a specific embodiment, the Fc receptor is an activated human Fcγ receptor, more specifically human FcγRIIIa, FcγRI, or FcγRIIa, and most specifically human FcγRIIIa. In one embodiment, the effector function is one or more selected from the group of CDC, ADCC, ADCP, and cytokine secretion. In a specific embodiment, the effector function is ADCC. In one embodiment, the Fc domain exhibits substantially similar binding affinity to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) compared to the native IgG1Fc domain domain. Substantially similar binding to FcRn is achieved when the Fc domain (or an antigen-binding molecule containing said Fc domain) exhibits a binding affinity to FcRn that is greater than approximately 70%, particularly greater than approximately 80%, and more specifically greater than approximately 90%, compared to the native IgG1Fc domain (or an antigen-binding molecule containing the native IgG1Fc domain).
[0146] In certain embodiments, the Fc domain is engineered to have reduced binding affinity to the Fc receptor and / or reduced effector function compared to an unengineered Fc domain. In certain embodiments, the Fc domain of an antigen-binding molecule contains one or more amino acid mutations that reduce the binding affinity and / or effector function of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor. Typically, the same one or more amino acid mutations are present in each of the two subunits of the Fc domain. In one embodiment, the amino acid mutations reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor. In one embodiment, the amino acid mutations reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor by at least half, at least one-fifth, or at least one-tenth. In embodiments where there is more than one amino acid mutation that reduces the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor, the combination of these amino acid mutations may reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor by at least one-tenth, at least one-twentieth, or even at least one-fiftieth. In one embodiment, an antigen-binding molecule containing an engineered Fc domain exhibits a binding affinity to the Fc receptor of less than 20%, particularly less than 10%, and more specifically less than 5%, compared to an antigen-binding molecule containing an unengineered Fc domain. In a particular embodiment, the Fc receptor is an Fcγ receptor. In one embodiment, the Fc receptor is a human Fc receptor. In one embodiment, the Fc receptor is an activated Fc receptor. In a specific embodiment, the Fc receptor is an activated human Fcγ receptor, more specifically human FcγRIIIa, FcγRI, or FcγRIIa, and most specifically human FcγRIIIa. Preferably, binding to each of these receptors is reduced. In one embodiment, binding affinity to complement components, specifically to C1q, is also reduced. In one embodiment, binding affinity to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is not reduced.
[0147] Substantially similar binding to FcRn (i.e., protection of the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the receptor) is achieved when the Fc domain (or an antigen-binding molecule containing the Fc domain) exhibits a binding affinity greater than approximately 70% of the binding affinity of the unmodified form of the Fc domain (or an antigen-binding molecule containing this unmodified form of Fc) to FcRn. The Fc domain, or the antigen-binding molecule of the present invention containing the Fc domain, may exhibit an affinity greater than approximately 80% and even greater than approximately 90% of such affinity. In certain embodiments, the Fc domain of the antigen-binding molecule is modified to have reduced effector function compared to the unmodified Fc domain. Reduced effector function may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: reduced complement-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CDC), reduced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), reduced antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP), reduced cytokine secretion, reduced immune complex-mediated antigen uptake by antigen-presenting cells, reduced binding to NK cells, reduced binding to macrophages, reduced binding to monocytes, reduced binding to polymorphonuclear cells, reduced direct signaling-induced apoptosis, reduced cross-linking with target-binding antibodies, reduced dendritic cell maturation, or reduced T cell priming. In one embodiment, reduced effector function is one or more selected from the group of reduced CDC, reduced ADCC, reduced ADCP, and reduced cytokine secretion. In a particular embodiment, reduced effector function is reduced ADCC. In one embodiment, reduced ADCC is less than 20% of ADCC induced by an unmanipulated Fc domain (or a binding molecule containing an unmanipulated Fc domain).
[0148] In one embodiment, the amino acid mutation that reduces the binding affinity and / or effector function of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor is an amino acid substitution. In one embodiment, the Fc domain contains an amino acid substitution at a position selected from the group E233, L234, L235, N297, P331, and P329 (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In a more specific embodiment, the Fc domain contains an amino acid substitution at a position selected from the group L234, L235, and P329 (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In one embodiment, the Fc domain contains the amino acid substitutions L234A and L235A (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In some such embodiments, the Fc domain is an IgG1Fc domain, in particular a human IgG1Fc domain. In one embodiment, the Fc domain contains an amino acid substitution at position P329. In a more specific embodiment, the amino acid substitution is P329A or P329G, in particular P329G (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In one embodiment, the Fc domain contains an amino acid substitution at position P329 and further amino acid substitutions at positions selected from E233, L234, L235, N297, and P331 (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In a more specific embodiment, the further amino acid substitutions are E233P, L234A, L235A, L235E, N297A, N297D, or P331S. In a particular embodiment, the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions at positions P329, L234, and L235 (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In a more specific embodiment, the Fc domain contains amino acid mutations L234A, L235A, and P329G ("P329G LALA", "PGLALA", or "LALAPG").Specifically, in certain embodiments, each subunit of the Fc domain contains amino acid substitutions L234A, L235A, and P329G (Kabat EU index numbering), namely, in the first and second subunits of the Fc domain, the leucine residue at position 234 is replaced with an alanine residue (L234A), the leucine residue at position 235 is replaced with an alanine residue (L235A), and the proline residue at position 329 is replaced with a glycine residue (P329G) (Kabat EU index numbering).
[0149] In some such embodiments, the Fc domain is an IgG1Fc domain, particularly a human IgG1Fc domain. The amino acid substitution combination "P329G LALA" almost completely eliminates the Fcγ receptor (and complement) binding of the human IgG1Fc domain, as described in International Publication 2012 / 130831, which is incorporated herein in whole by reference. International Publication 2012 / 130831 also describes methods for preparing such mutant Fc domains and determining their properties (such as Fc receptor binding or effector function).
[0150] IgG4 antibodies exhibit reduced binding affinity to Fc receptors and reduced effector function compared to IgG1 antibodies. Therefore, in one embodiment, the Fc domain of the binding molecule of the present invention is an IgG4Fc domain, particularly a human IgG4Fc domain. In one embodiment, the IgG4Fc domain includes an amino acid substitution at position S228, specifically amino acid substitution S228P (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). To further reduce its binding affinity to the Fc receptor and / or its effector function, in one embodiment, the IgG4 Fc domain includes an amino acid substitution at position L235, specifically amino acid substitution L235E (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In one embodiment, the IgG4Fc domain includes an amino acid substitution at position P329, specifically amino acid substitution P329G (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). In a preferred embodiment, the IgG4Fc domain includes amino acid substitutions at positions S228, L235, and P329, specifically amino acid substitutions S228P, L235E, and P329G (numbered according to the Kabat EU index). Such IgG4Fc domain variants and their Fcγ receptor binding properties are described in PCT Publication No. 2012 / 130831 (in whole, incorporated herein by reference).
[0151] In certain embodiments, Fc domains exhibiting reduced binding affinity to the Fc receptor and / or reduced effector function compared to native IgG1Fc domains are human IgG1Fc domains containing amino acid substitutions L234A, L235A and optionally P329G, or human IgG4Fc domains containing amino acid substitutions S228P, L235E and optionally P329G (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0152] In certain embodiments, N-glycosylation of the Fc domain is excluded. In some such embodiments, the Fc domain contains amino acid mutations at position N297, particularly amino acid substitutions in which asparagine is replaced with alanine (N297A) or aspartic acid (N297D) (numbered according to the Kabat EU index).
[0153] In addition to the Fc domains described herein and in International Publication No. 2012 / 130831, Fc domains with reduced Fc receptor binding and / or effector function also include substitutions of one or more Fc domain residues 238, 265, 269, 270, 297, 327, and 329 (U.S. Patent No. 6,737,056) (numbered by the Kabat EU Index). Such Fc variants include the so-called "DANA" Fc variant (U.S. Patent No. 7,332,581) in which residues 265 and 297 are substituted with alanine, and Fc variants having substitutions of two or more of the amino acid positions 265, 269, 270, 297, and 327.
[0154] Mutant Fc domains can be prepared by amino acid deletion, substitution, insertion, or modification using genetic or chemical methods well known in the art. Genetic methods include site-directed mutagenesis of the encoding DNA sequence, PCR, gene synthesis, etc. Correct nucleotide changes can be confirmed, for example, by sequencing.
[0155] Binding to the Fc receptor can be easily determined, for example, by ELISA, or by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) using Fc receptors obtained by recombinant expression with standard equipment such as a BIAcore instrument (GE Healthcare). Alternatively, the binding affinity of an Fc domain or a binding molecule containing an Fc domain to the Fc receptor may be evaluated using cell lines known to express a specific Fc receptor (e.g., human NK cells expressing the FcγIIIa receptor).
[0156] The effector function of the Fc domain, or a binding molecule containing an Fc domain, can be measured by methods known in the art. Examples of in vitro assays for evaluating the ADCC activity of a molecule of interest are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,500,362, Hellstrom et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 83,7059-7063 (1986) and Hellstrom et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 82,1499-1502 (1985), U.S. Patent No. 5,821,337, Bruggemann et al., J Exp Med 166,1351-1361 (1987).
[0157] Alternatively, non-radioactive assays may be used (see, for example, ACTI® non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay for flow cytometry (CellTechnology, Inc., Mountain View, CA); and CytoTox 96® non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay (Promega, Madison, WI)). Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and natural killer (NK) cells.
[0158] Alternatively, or in addition, the ADCC activity of the molecule in question may be evaluated in vivo, for example, in an animal model disclosed in Clynes et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95, 652-656 (1998).
[0159] In one embodiment, the binding of the Fc domain to complement components, particularly C1q, is reduced. Thus, in one embodiment in which the Fc domain is manipulated to have reduced effector function, this reduced effector function includes reduced CDC. C1q binding assays may be performed to determine whether an antigen-binding molecule containing an Fc domain or an Fc domain can bind to C1q and therefore possesses CDC activity. See, for example, the C1q and C3c binding ELISAs in International Publication Nos. 2006 / 029879 and International Publication Nos. 2005 / 100402. A CDC assay may be performed to evaluate complement activation (see, for example, Gazzano-Santoro et al., J Immunol Methods 202, 163 (1996); Cragg et al., Blood 101, 1045-1052 (2003); and Cragg and Glennie, Blood 103, 2738-2743 (2004)).
[0160] The determination of FcRn binding and in vivo clearance / half-life can also be carried out using methods known in the art (e.g., Petkova, S B et al., Int'l. Immunol. 18(12):1759-1769 (2006); see International Publication No. 2013 / 120929).
[0161] Structure of antigen-binding molecules The antigen-binding molecule according to the present invention may have various molecular configurations; that is, the domains of the binding molecule may be linked to each other in different ways.
[0162] The antigen-binding molecule may include a target-binding domain, a cytokine receptor-binding domain, and an Fc domain, where the cytokine receptor-binding domain is fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of the target-binding domain, and the target-binding domain is fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of one of the Fc domain subunits. The target-binding domain may be a Fab molecule. Thus, the cytokine receptor-binding domain may be fused to the VH or VL domain of the target-binding domain. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule includes a target-binding domain, a cytokine receptor-binding domain, and an Fc domain, where the target-binding domain is a Fab molecule, the cytokine receptor-binding domain is fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of the VH domain of the target-binding domain, and the target-binding domain is fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of one of the Fc domain subunits (see, for example, Figures 11B, 11C, 11F, and 11G for schematic diagrams).

[0167] In one embodiment, the target binding domain of the antigen-binding molecule is a Fab molecule. Thus, in one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule pair comprises a first antigen-binding molecule comprising a first polypeptide comprising a first Fc domain subunit, a second polypeptide comprising a first cytokine receptor binding domain, VH1, CH11 and a second Fc domain subunit in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and a third polypeptide comprising VL1 and CL1 in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus; and a second antigen-binding molecule comprising a first polypeptide comprising a first Fc domain subunit, a second polypeptide comprising a second cytokine receptor binding domain, VH2, CH12 and a second Fc domain subunit in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and a third polypeptide comprising VL2 and CL2 in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus.
