[0002] The present invention relates to anti-FcRH5 antibodies and methods of using the same. [Background technology]
[0003] Cell proliferative disorders, such as cancer, are characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cell subpopulations. They are the leading cause of death in the developed world and the second leading cause of death in developing countries, with over 14 million new cancer cases diagnosed and over 8 million cancer deaths occurring each year. The National Cancer Institute estimates that over 500,000 Americans will die from cancer in 2016, accounting for nearly one in four deaths in the United States. The growing elderly population is accompanied by a concomitant rise in cancer incidence, as the likelihood of developing cancer more than doubles after age 70. Therefore, cancer care represents a significant and growing societal burden.
[0004] The Fc receptor-like 5 (FcRH5, FcRL5, or IRTA2) gene belongs to a recently identified family of six genes in the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). This gene family is closely related to Fc receptors, sharing conserved genomic structure, extracellular Ig domain composition, and signaling motifs such as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) (Davis et al. Eur. J. Immunol. 35:674-80, 2005). Six members of the FcRH / IRTA receptor family have been described: FcRH1 / IRTA5, FcRH2 / IRTA4, FcRH3 / IRTA3, FcRH4 / IRTA1, FcRH5 / IRTA2, and FcRH6 (Polson et al. Int. Immunol. 18(9):1363-1373, 2006). The FcRH cDNA encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with multiple Ig-like extracellular domains and a cytoplasmic domain containing consensus immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating and / or inhibitory signaling motifs. FcRH genes are structurally related, and their protein products share 28-60% extracellular identity with each other. They also share 15-31% identity with their closest FcR relatives. A high degree of homology exists between different FcRHs.
[0005] Although the ligand(s) for FcRH5 are unknown, FcRH5 has been linked to enhanced proliferation and downstream isotype expression during antigen-stimulated B cell development (Dement-Brown et al. J. Leukoc. Biol. 91:59-67, 2012). The FcRH5 locus has three major mRNA isoforms (FcRH5a, FcRH5b, and FcRH5c). The major FcRH5 protein isoforms encoded by these transcripts share a common amino acid sequence through residue 560 and feature a common signal peptide and six extracellular Ig-like domains. FcRH5a is a 759-amino acid secreted glycoprotein with eight Ig-like domains followed by 13 unique, primarily polar, amino acids at its C-terminus. FcRH5b diverges from FcRH5a at amino acid residue 560 and extends over a short stretch of 32 additional residues, the hydrophobic nature of which is compatible with docking it to the plasma membrane via a GPI anchor. FcRH5c is the longest isoform, whose sequence diverges from FcRH5a at amino acid 746. FcRH5c encodes a 977-amino acid type I transmembrane glycoprotein with nine extracellular Ig-type domains harboring eight potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a 23-amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 104-amino acid cytoplasmic domain containing three consensus SH2-binding motifs with ITIM consensus.
[0006] The FcRH5 gene is clustered immediately adjacent to the classical FcR genes (FcγRI, FcγRII, FcγRIII, and FcεRI) within the 1q21-23 region of chromosome 1. This region contains one of the most frequent secondary chromosomal abnormalities associated with malignant phenotypes in hematopoietic malignancies, particularly multiple myeloma (Hatzivassiliou et al. Immunity. 14:277-89, 2001). FcRH5 is expressed exclusively in the B cell lineage, beginning as early as pre-B cells but not fully expressed until the mature B cell stage. Unlike most other known B cell-specific surface proteins (e.g., CD20, CD19, and CD22), FcRH5 continues to be expressed on plasma cells, while other B cell-specific markers are downregulated (Polson et al. Int. Immunol. 18:1363-73, 2006). Additionally, FcRH5 mRNA is overexpressed in multiple myeloma cell lines with 1q21 abnormalities as detected by oligonucleotide array (Inoue Am. J. Pathol. 165:71-81, 2004). This expression pattern suggests that FcRH5 may be a target for antibody-based therapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a malignant tumor of plasma cells characterized by skeletal lesions, renal failure, anemia, and hypercalcemia, and is essentially incurable with current therapies. Current drug treatments for multiple myeloma include a combination of the proteosome inhibitor bortezomib (VELCADE®), the immunomodulatory agent lenalidomide (REVLIMID®), and the steroid dexamethasone.
[0007] Monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapy has become an important treatment modality for cancer. FcRH5c-specific antibody-based therapy and detection methods can be particularly effective because they specifically recognize membrane-associated FcRH5 on target cells, compared to antibodies that recognize both soluble and membrane isoforms of FcRH5. However, only the final Ig-like domain of FcRH5 (Ig-like domain 9) is a unique extracellular region that differs among the three major isoforms of FcRH5 (e.g., FcRH5a, FcRH5b, and FcRH5c), and significant homology exists among the Ig-like domains within FcRH5. Furthermore, the final Ig-like domain is highly conserved among FcRH1, FcRH2, FcRH3, and FcRH5. Any antibody-based therapy specifically targeting FcRH5 should have minimal cross-reactivity with other FcRHs (e.g., FcRH3 is expressed on normal NK cells) to avoid adverse off-target effects.
[0008] In view of the above, there is an unmet need in the art for safe and effective agents for use in treating cell proliferative disorders (eg, cancer, eg, FcRH5-positive cancers, eg, multiple myeloma). Summary of the Invention

[0071] I. Definition The term "about" as used herein refers to a normal error range for the respective value, which is readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Reference herein to "about" a value or parameter includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to the value or parameter itself.
[0072] For purposes herein, an "acceptor human framework" is a framework that comprises the amino acid sequence of a light chain variable domain (VL) framework or a heavy chain variable domain (VH) framework derived from a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework, as defined below. An acceptor human framework "derived from" a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework may comprise the same amino acid sequence thereto, or may contain amino acid sequence changes. In some embodiments, the number of amino acid changes is 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less. In some embodiments, the VL acceptor human framework is identical in sequence to the VL human immunoglobulin framework sequence or the human consensus framework sequence.
[0073] "Affinity" refers to the strength of the sum of 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, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., an antibody and an antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y is generally determined by the dissociation constant (K D ) Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Specific illustrative and exemplary embodiments for measuring binding affinity are described below.
[0074] An "affinity matured" antibody refers to an antibody that has one or more alterations in one or more hypervariable regions (HVRs), compared to a parent antibody that does not possess those alterations, which alterations improve the affinity of the antibody for antigen.
[0075] The terms "anti-FcRH5 antibody" or "antibody that binds to FcRH5" refer to an antibody that can bind to FcRH5 with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and / or therapeutic agent in targeting FcRH5. In one embodiment, the extent to which an anti-FcRH5 antibody binds to an unrelated, non-FcRH5 protein is less than about 10% of the antibody's binding to FcRH5, as measured, for example, by radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain embodiments, an antibody that binds to FcRH5 has an affinity of ≦1 μM, ≦100 nM, ≦10 nM, ≦1 nM, ≦0.1 nM, ≦0.01 nM, or ≦0.001 nM (e.g., 10 -8 M or less, e.g. 10 -8 M~10 -13 M, e.g. 10 -9 M~10 -13 Dissociation constant (K D In certain embodiments, the anti-FcRH5 antibody binds to an epitope of FcRH5 that is conserved among FcRH5 from different species.

The amino acid sequence of an exemplary cynomolgus monkey FcRH5 protein is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 215.
[0087] As used herein, the term "cluster of differentiation 3" or "CD3," unless otherwise indicated, refers to any native CD3 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), including, for example, the CD3ε, CD3γ, CD3α, and CD3β chains. The term encompasses "full-length" unprocessed CD3 (e.g., unprocessed or unmodified CD3ε or CD3γ) as well as any form of CD3 resulting from processing in cells. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of CD3, including, for example, splice variants or allelic variants. CD3 includes, for example, the 207-amino acid long human CD3ε protein (NCBI Reference SEQ ID NO: NP_000724) and the 182-amino acid long human CD3γ protein (NCBI Reference SEQ ID NO: NP_000064).
[0088] The "class" of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or constant region possessed by its heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and some of these can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy-chain constant domains corresponding to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.
[0089] It is understood that aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein include "comprising," "consisting of," and "consisting essentially of" aspects and embodiments.
[0090] The term "cytotoxic agent," as used herein, refers to a substance that inhibits or prevents the function of cells and / or causes the death or destruction of cells. Cytotoxic agents include radioisotopes (e.g., At 211 , I 131 , I 125 , Y 90 ,Re 186 ,Re188 , Sm 153 , Bi 212 , P 32 , Pb 212 , and radioactive isotopes of Lu); chemotherapeutic agents or drugs (e.g., methotrexate, adriamycin, vinca alkaloids (vincristine, vinblastine, etoposide), doxorubicin, melphalan, mitomycin C, chlorambucil, daunorubicin, or other intercalating agents); growth inhibitory agents; enzymes and fragments thereof, such as nucleases; antibiotics; toxins, such as small molecule toxins or enzymatically active toxins of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, including fragments and / or variants thereof; and various anti-tumor or anti-cancer agents disclosed below.
[0091] A "disorder" is any condition that would benefit from treatment, including, but not limited to, chronic and acute disorders or diseases, including pathological conditions that predispose a mammal to the disorder in question.
[0092] The terms "cell proliferative disorder" and "proliferative disorder" refer to disorders associated with some degree of abnormal cell proliferation. In one embodiment, the cell proliferative disorder is cancer. In one embodiment, the cell proliferative disorder is a tumor.
[0093] The terms "cancer" and "cancerous" refer to or describe the physiological condition in mammals that is typically characterized by unregulated cell growth / proliferation. Examples of cancer include, but are not limited to, myeloma, carcinoma, lymphoma (e.g., Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. In some embodiments, the cancer is an FcRH5-positive cancer. More specific examples of such cancers include multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), chronic myeloproliferative disorders, thrombocytosis, precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B-ALL), precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-T-ALL), mastocytosis, mast cell leukemia, mast cell sarcoma, myeloid sarcoma, lymphocytic leukemia, and undifferentiated leukemia.

In particular, cancer can include conditions involving excess antibody production, such as monoclonal gammopathy, light chain amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and solitary plasmacytoma, solitary plasmacytoma, and extramedullary plasmacytoma.
[0094] As used herein, "tumor" refers to all neoplastic cell growth and proliferation, whether malignant or benign, and all pre-cancerous and cancerous cells and tissues. The terms "cancer," "cancerous," "cell proliferative disorder," "proliferative disorder," and "tumor" are not mutually exclusive when referred to herein.
[0095] "Effector function" refers to a biological activity attributable to the Fc region of an antibody, which varies depending on the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); 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.
[0096] An "effective amount" of a compound, e.g., an anti-FcRH5 antibody of the present invention, or a composition thereof (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) is at least the minimum amount required to achieve a desired therapeutic or prophylactic result, such as a measurable improvement or prevention of a particular disorder (e.g., a cell proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer). The effective amount herein may vary depending on factors such as the patient's condition, age, sex, and weight, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or adverse effects of the treatment are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. In the case of prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk of disease, reducing the severity of disease, or delaying the onset of disease, including biochemical, histological, and / or behavioral symptoms of disease, its complications, and intermediate pathological phenotypes manifest during disease development. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include clinical results such as a reduction in one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, an improvement in the quality of life of the person suffering from the disease, a reduction in the dose of other drugs required to treat the disease, an enhancement of the effect of another drug by targeting or the like, a delay in disease progression, and / or an increase in survival time. In the case of cancer or tumors, an effective amount of a drug may be effective in reducing the number of cancer cells; reducing tumor size; inhibiting (i.e., slowing to some extent, and preferably stopping) the infiltration of cancer cells into peripheral organs; inhibiting (i.e., slowing to some extent, and preferably stopping) tumor metastasis; inhibiting to some extent tumor growth; and / or alleviating to some extent one of the abnormal symptoms associated with the disorder. An effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this invention, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to directly or indirectly achieve prophylactic or therapeutic treatment. As understood in the clinical field, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an "effective amount" can be considered in relation to administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent can be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desired result can be or is achieved.
[0097] The term "Fc region" as used herein defines the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain comprising at least a portion of the constant region. This term includes native-sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one embodiment, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may or may not be present. Unless otherwise specified herein, the numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to 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.
[0098] "Framework" or "FR" refers to variable domain residues other than hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain generally consists of four FR domains, FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Thus, the HVR and FR sequences generally appear in VH (or VL) in the following order: FR1-H1(L1)-FR2-H2(L2)-FR3-H3(L3)-FR4.
[0099] The term "FcRH5-positive cell" refers to a cell that expresses FcRH5 on its surface. In some embodiments, the FcRH5 is one or more of FcRH5a, FcRH5b, FcRH5c, UniProt identifier Q96RD9-2, and / or FcRH5d. In some embodiments, the FcRH5 is FcRH5c.
[0100] The term "FcRH5-positive cancer" refers to a cancer comprising cells that express FcRH5 on their surface. To determine whether a cell expresses FcRH5 on its surface, FcRH5 mRNA expression is considered to correlate with FcRH5 expression on the cell surface. In some embodiments, FcRH5 mRNA expression is quantified by a method selected from in situ hybridization and RT-PCR (including quantitative RT-PCR). Alternatively, FcRH5 expression on the cell surface may be quantified using an antibody against FcRH5 in methods such as immunohistochemistry, FACS, etc. In some embodiments, FcRH5 is one or more of FcRH5a, FcRH5b, FcRH5c, UniProt identifier Q96RD9-2, and / or FcRH5d. In some embodiments, FcRH5 is FcRH5c.
[0101] The terms "full length antibody," "intact antibody," and "whole antibody" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to that of a native antibody or an antibody having a heavy chain that includes an Fc region as defined herein.
[0102] The term "glycosylated form of FcRH5" refers to a naturally occurring form of FcRH5 that has been post-translationally modified by the addition of carbohydrate residues.
[0103] As used herein, a "growth inhibitory agent" refers to a compound or composition that inhibits cell growth either in vitro or in vivo. In one embodiment, the growth inhibitory agent is a growth inhibitory antibody that prevents or reduces proliferation of cells expressing the antigen to which the antibody binds. In another embodiment, the growth inhibitory agent can significantly reduce the proportion of cells in S phase. Examples of growth inhibitory agents include agents that block cell cycle progression (outside of S phase), such as agents that induce G1 arrest and M-phase arrest. Classical M-phase blockers include vincas (vincristine and vinblastine), taxanes, and topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, etoposide, and bleomycin. Agents that arrest G1, such as DNA alkylating agents such as tamoxifen, prednisone, dacarbazine, mechlorethamine, cisplatin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and ara-C, also induce S-phase arrest. Further information can be found in Murakami et al., Mendelsohn and Israel, eds., The Molecular Basis of Cancer, Chapter 1, entitled "Cell cycle regulation, oncogenes, and antitineoplastic drugs" (WB Saunders, Philadelphia, 1995), e.g., p. 13. Taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are anticancer drugs, both derived from the yew tree. Docetaxel (TAXOTERE®, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer), derived from the European yew, is a semisynthetic analog of paclitaxel (TAXOL®, Bristol-Myers Squibb). Paclitaxel and docetaxel promote the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers, stabilize microtubules by preventing depolymerization, and inhibit cell mitosis.
[0104] The terms "host cell," "host cell line," and "host cell culture" are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells," which include the primary transformed cell and its progeny regardless of the number of passages. The progeny may not be completely identical in nucleic acid content to the parent cell and may contain mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened or selected for in the originally transformed cell are included herein.
[0105] A "human antibody" is one having an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human or human cell, or an antibody derived from a non-human source using a human antibody repertoire, or other human antibody coding sequence. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes humanized antibodies, which contain non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be produced using a variety of techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries. Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol. 227:381, 1991; Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581, 1991. Methods described in Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985); Boerner et al., J. Immunol., 147(1):86-95, 1991, can also be used to prepare human monoclonal antibodies. See also van Dijk and van de Winkel. Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5:368-74, 2001. Human antibodies can be prepared by administering antigen to transgenic animals, e.g., immunized xenomice, that have been engineered to produce such antibodies in response to antigen challenge but have their endogenous gene loci disabled (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 for XENOMOUSE™ technology). See also, e.g., Li et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 103:3557-3562, 2006 for human antibodies generated by human B cell hybridoma technology.
[0106] A "human consensus framework" is a framework that represents the most commonly occurring amino acid residues in the selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework sequences. Generally, the selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH sequences is made from a subgroup of variable domain sequences. Generally, the subgroup of sequences is a subgroup as in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242, Bethesda, MD (1991), vols. 1-3. In one embodiment, for VL, the subgroup is subgroup kappa I as in Kabat et al., supra. In one embodiment, for VH, the subgroup is subgroup III as in Kabat et al., supra.
[0107] A "humanized" antibody refers to a chimeric antibody comprising amino acid residues from non-human HVRs and amino acid residues from human FRs. In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody comprises substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of its HVRs (e.g., CDRs) correspond to those of a non-human antibody and all or substantially all of its FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody may optionally comprise at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. A "humanized form" of an antibody, e.g., a non-human antibody, refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization.
[0108] The term "hypervariable region" or "HVR" as used herein refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain where the sequence is hypervariable ("complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs") and / or which form structurally defined loops ("hypervariable loops") and / or which contain antigen-bearing residues ("antigen contacts"). Antibodies generally contain six HVRs: three in the VH (H1, H2, H3) and three in the VL (L1, L2, L3). Exemplary HVRs herein include the following: (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)); (c) antigenic contacts 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), and (d) A combination of (a), (b), and / or (c) comprising HVR amino acid residues 46-56 (L2), 47-56 (L2), 48-56 (L2), 49-56 (L2), 26-35 (H1), 26-35b (H1), 49-65 (H2), 93-102 (H3), and 94-102 (H3).
[0109] Unless otherwise indicated, HVR residues and other residues in the variable domain (e.g., FR residues) are numbered herein according to Kabat et al. (supra).
[0110] An "immunoconjugate" is an antibody conjugated to one or more heterologous molecule(s), including, but not limited to, a cytotoxic agent.
[0111] A "subject" or "individual" is a mammal. Mammals include, but are not limited to, domestic animals (e.g., cows, sheep, cats, dogs, and horses), primates (e.g., humans and non-human primates such as monkeys), rabbits, and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). In certain embodiments, the subject or individual is a human.
[0112] An "isolated" antibody is one that is separated from components of its natural environment. In some embodiments, the antibody is purified to greater than 95% or 99% purity, for example, as determined by electrophoresis (e.g., SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis) or chromatography (e.g., ion exchange or reverse-phase HPLC). For a review of methods for assessing antibody purity, see, e.g., Flatman et al. J. Chromatogr. B 848:79-87, 2007.
[0113] An "isolated" nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid molecule that has been separated from a component of its natural environment. Isolated nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid molecule contained in cells that normally contain the nucleic acid molecule, but where the nucleic acid molecule is present extrachromosomally or in a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location.
[0114] An "isolated nucleic acid encoding an anti-FcRH5 antibody" refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibody heavy and light chains (or fragments thereof), including such nucleic acid molecule(s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and including such nucleic acid molecule(s) present in one or more locations within a host cell.
[0115] An "isolated nucleic acid encoding an anti-CD3 antibody" refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibody heavy and light chains (or fragments thereof), including such nucleic acid molecule(s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and including such nucleic acid molecule(s) present in one or more locations within a host cell.
[0116] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies. That is, except for possible variant antibodies, including, for example, naturally occurring mutations or arising during the generation of a monoclonal antibody preparation (such variants are generally present in minor amounts), each individual antibody within the population is identical and / or binds to the same epitope. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically contain different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with the present invention can be produced by a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, hybridoma methods, recombinant DNA methods, phage display methods, and methods using transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci; such methods and other exemplary methods for producing monoclonal antibodies are described herein.
[0117] A "naked antibody" refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety) or a radiolabel. The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical formulation.
[0118] "Native antibodies" refer to naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecules with various structures. For example, native IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of approximately 150,000 daltons composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain or a heavy chain variable domain, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain or a light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light (CL) domain. The light chain of an antibody can be assigned to one of two types, called kappa (κ) or lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain.
[0119] The term "package insert" is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packaging of a therapeutic product that contain information regarding the indications, uses, dosages, administration, concomitant therapy, contraindications, and / or warnings regarding its use.
[0120] The term "PD-1 axis-binding antagonist" refers to a molecule that inhibits the interaction of a PD-1 axis binding partner with one or more of its binding partners to eliminate T cell dysfunction resulting from signaling in the PD-1 signaling axis, thereby restoring or enhancing T cell function (e.g., proliferation, cytokine production, target cell killing). As used herein, PD-1 axis-binding antagonists include PD-1 binding antagonists, PD-L1 binding antagonists, and PD-L2 binding antagonists.
[0121] The term "PD-1 binding antagonist" refers to a molecule that reduces, blocks, inhibits, abrogates, or prevents signaling resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with one or more of its binding partners, e.g., PD-L1, PD-L2. In some embodiments, a PD-1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-1 to one or more of its binding partners. In specific embodiments, a PD-1 binding antagonist inhibits the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1 and / or PD-L2.

In one embodiment, the PD-1 binding antagonist mediates signaling through PD-1 to reduce negative costimulatory signals mediated by or through cell surface proteins expressed on T lymphocytes, so as to render dysfunctional T cells less dysfunctional (e.g., enhance effector responses to antigen recognition). In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-1 antibody. In a specific embodiment, the PD-1 binding antagonist is MDX-1106 (nivolumab).

[0124] The term "protein," as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, refers to any naturally occurring protein from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The term encompasses "full-length," unprocessed proteins, as well as any form of protein that results from processing in a cell. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of the protein, such as splice variants or allelic variants.
[0125] "Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" to 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 and introducing gaps as necessary to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, not counting any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in a variety of ways within the skill of the art, using publicly available computer software, such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms necessary to achieve maximum alignment across the entire length of the sequences being compared. However, for purposes herein, percent amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was created by Genentech, Inc., and the source code, together with user documentation, has been submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office (Washington, DC, 20559) and is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available through Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California, or can be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program must be compiled for use on UNIX operating systems, including Digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.
[0126] In situations where ALIGN-2 is used for amino acid sequence comparison, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be expressed as a given amino acid sequence A having or comprising a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 x fraction X / Y (where X is the number of amino acid residues in an alignment of A and B by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 that are scored as perfect matches by the program, and Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B.) It will be understood that if the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, then the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not be equal to the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein were obtained using the ALIGN-2 computer program as described in the immediately preceding paragraph.
[0127] The term "pharmaceutical formulation" refers to a preparation that is in a form such that the biological activity of the active ingredient contained therein is effective and that does not contain additional ingredients that are unacceptably toxic to the subject to which the formulation is administered.
[0128] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to an ingredient, other than an active ingredient, in a pharmaceutical formulation that is non-toxic to a subject. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, buffers, excipients, stabilizers, or preservatives.
[0129] As used herein, "treatment" (and its grammatical variations, such as "treat" or "treating") refers to a clinical intervention that attempts to alter the natural course of the individual being treated, and may be performed prophylactically or during the clinical pathological course. Desirable effects of treatment include, but are not limited to, prevention of disease onset or recurrence, alleviation of symptoms, reduction of any direct or indirect pathological consequence of the disease, prevention of metastasis, reduction in the rate of disease progression, remission or reduction of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are used to delay the onset of disease or slow the progression of disease.
[0130] As used herein, "delaying the progression" of a disorder or disease means postponing, preventing, slowing, retarding, stabilizing, and / or postponing the onset of the disease or disorder (e.g., a cell proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer). The delay can be of varying duration depending on the history of the disease and / or the individual being treated. As will be apparent to one of skill in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, late-stage cancer, such as the onset of metastases, can be delayed.
[0131] The term "epitope" refers to a specific site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds. In some embodiments, the specific site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds is determined by hydroxyl radical footprinting (e.g., the FcRH5 binding domain). In some embodiments, the specific site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds is determined by crystallography.
[0132] "Reducing" or "inhibiting" refers to the ability to cause an overall decrease, for example, of 20% or more, 50% or more, or 75%, 85%, 90%, 95% or more.

[0133] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to an antigen. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains (VH and VL, respectively) of a natural antibody generally have a similar structure, with each domain containing four conserved framework regions (FR) and three hypervariable regions (HVR). (See, e.g., Kindt et al., Kuby Immunology, 6 th (See, e.g., W.H. Freeman and 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 using the VH or VL domain of an antibody that binds to that antigen to screen a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively. See, e.g., Portolano et al. J. Immunol. 150:880-887, 1993; Clarkson et al. Nature 352:624-628, 1991.
[0134] A "variant Fc region" comprises an amino acid sequence that differs from that of a native-sequence Fc region by at least one amino acid modification, preferably one or more amino acid substitution(s). Preferably, the variant Fc region comprises at least one amino acid substitution, e.g., about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, preferably about one to about five amino acid substitutions, in the native-sequence Fc region or the Fc region of the parent polypeptide compared to the native-sequence Fc region or the Fc region of the parent polypeptide. A variant Fc region herein preferably has at least about 80% homology with the native-sequence Fc region and / or the Fc region of the parent polypeptide, most preferably at least about 90% homology thereto, and more preferably at least about 95% homology thereto.
[0135] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of propagating another nucleic acid to which it is linked. The term includes vectors as self-replicating nucleic acid structures as well as vectors that integrate into the genome of a host cell into which they are introduced. Certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of nucleic acids to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as "expression vectors."
[0136] As used herein, "administering" refers to a method of providing a subject with a dosage of a compound (e.g., an anti-FcRH5 antibody of the present invention, or a nucleic acid encoding an anti-FcRH5 antibody of the present invention) or composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition, e.g., a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-FcRH5 antibody of the present invention). The compositions used in the methods described herein can be administered, for example, intramuscularly, intravenously, intradermally, transdermally, intra-arterially, intraperitoneally, intralesionally, intracranially, intra-articularly, intraprostatically, intrapleurally, intratracheally, intranasally, intravitreally, intravaginally, intrarectally, topically, intratumorally, subcutaneously, subconjunctivally, intravesicularly, mucosally, intrapericardially, intraumbilically, intraocularly, orally, topically, locally, by inhalation, by injection, by infusion, by continuous infusion, by local perfusion directly bathing target cells, by catheter, by lavage, in a lipid composition. The method of administration can vary depending on various factors, such as the compound or composition being administered and the severity of the condition, disease, or disorder being treated.
[0137] II. Compositions and Methods In one aspect, the present invention is based, in part, on an anti-FcRH5 antibody. In certain embodiments, the anti-FcRH5 antibody is multispecific (e.g., bispecific) and binds to FcRH5 or a fragment thereof, as well as a second biomolecule (e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a T cell marker, e.g., CD3 (e.g., CD3ε and / or CD3γ)). The antibodies of the present invention are useful, for example, for diagnosing and / or treating or delaying the progression of a cell proliferative disorder (e.g., cancer, e.g., an FcRH5-positive cancer, e.g., multiple myeloma) in a subject.

[0178] In one embodiment, K D is measured by a radiolabeled antigen binding assay (RIA). In one embodiment, an RIA is performed using a Fab version of the antibody of interest and its antigen. For example, the solution binding affinity of the Fab for the antigen is determined by measuring the binding affinity of the Fab to the antigen at the lowest concentration ( 125 I) The antibody titer is measured by equilibrating the labeled antigen with Fab and then capturing the bound antigen on a plate coated with an anti-Fab antibody (see, e.g., Chen et al. J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881, 1999). To establish assay conditions, MICROTITER® multiwell plates (Thermo Scientific) are coated overnight with 5 μg / ml of capture anti-Fab antibody (Cappel Labs) in 50 mM sodium carbonate (pH 9.6), followed by blocking with 2% (w / v) bovine serum albumin in PBS for 2-5 hours at room temperature (approximately 23°C). In non-adsorbent plates (Nunc #269620), 100 pM or 26 pM [ 125[I] The antigen is mixed with serial dilutions of the Fab of interest (e.g., consistent with the evaluation of the anti-VEGF antibody, Fab-12, in Presta et al. Cancer Res. 57:4593-4599, 1997). The Fab of interest is then incubated overnight; however, incubation may be continued for a longer period (e.g., approximately 65 hours) to ensure equilibrium is reached. The mixture is then transferred to a capture plate for incubation at room temperature (e.g., for 1 hour). The solution is then removed, and the plate is washed eight times with PBS containing 0.1% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20®). After the plate has dried, 150 μl / well of scintillant (MICROSCINT-20™, Packard) is added, and the plate is counted for 10 minutes in a TOPCOUNT™ gamma counter (Packard). The concentration of each Fab that results in 20% or less of maximum binding is selected for use in the competitive binding assay.

For example, assays using a BIACORE® 2000 or BIACORE® 3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, NJ) are performed at 25°C using an immobilized antigen CM5 chip with approximately 10 response units (RU). In one embodiment, a carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chip (CM5, BIACORE, Inc.) is activated with N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. The antigen is diluted to 5 μg / ml (approximately 0.2 μM) with 10 mM sodium acetate (pH 4.8) and then injected at a flow rate of 5 μl / min, yielding approximately 10 response units (RU) of coupled protein. After antigen injection, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block unreacted groups. For kinetic measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected at a flow rate of approximately 25 μl / min in PBS containing 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20™) surfactant (PBST) at 25°C. The association rate (k on ) and dissociation rate (k off The equilibrium dissociation constant (K) is calculated by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensorgrams using a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE® Evaluation Software version 3.2). D ) is k off / k on See, for example, Chen et al. J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881, 1999. When the on-rate by the surface plasmon resonance assay described above is 10 6 M -1 s -1If greater than , this on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescence quenching technique to measure the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation = 295 nm, emission = 340 nm, 16 nm bandpass) of 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS (pH 7.2) at 25°C in the presence of increasing concentrations of antigen, as measured in a spectrometer such as a spectrophotometer equipped with stopped flow (Aviv Instruments) or an 8000 Series SLM-AMINCO™ spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) equipped with a stirred cuvette.
[0180] 2. Antibody fragment In certain embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are antibody fragments. Antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, bis-Fab, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, Fv, and scFv fragments, as well as other fragments described below. For a review of certain antibody fragments, see Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134, 2003. For a review of scFv fragments, see, e.g., Pluckthun, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., (Springer-Verlag, New York), pp. 269-315, 1994; see also WO 93 / 16185 and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,571,894 and 5,587,458. See US Pat. No. 5,869,046 for a detailed discussion of Fab and F(ab')2 fragments that contain salvage receptor binding epitope residues and have increased in vivo half-lives.
[0181] Antibody fragments in which two Fabs are linked through a bis-maleimide are referred to herein as bismaleimide-(thio-Fab)2 or bis-Fab.
[0182] Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which may be bivalent or bispecific. See, e.g., EP 404,097, WO 1993 / 01161, Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134, 2003, and Hollinger et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448, 1993. Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson et al. Nat. Med. 9:129-134, 2003.
[0183] Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments that contain all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, single-domain antibodies are human single-domain antibodies (Domantis, Inc., Waltham, MA; see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,248,516 B1).
[0184] Antibody fragments can be produced by a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, proteolytic digestion of intact antibodies and production by recombinant host cells (eg, E. coli or phage), as described herein.
[0185] 3. Chimeric and humanized antibodies In certain embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are chimeric antibodies. Certain chimeric antibodies are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567 and Morrison et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855, 1984. In one example, a chimeric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In a further example, a chimeric antibody is a "class-switched" antibody whose class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody. Chimeric antibodies include antigen-binding fragments thereof.
[0186] In certain embodiments, a chimeric antibody is a humanized antibody. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized to reduce immunogenicity to humans while retaining the specificity and affinity of the parent non-human antibody. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable domains, the HVRs, e.g., CDRs (or portions thereof), of which are derived from a non-human antibody and the FRs (or portions thereof) are derived from human antibody sequences. A humanized antibody also optionally comprises at least a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, some FR residues in a humanized antibody are substituted with corresponding residues from the non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the HVR residues are derived), e.g., to restore or improve the specificity or affinity of the antibody.
[0187] Humanized antibodies and methods for their production are reviewed, for example, in Almagro et al. Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633, 2008, and are described, for example, in Riechmann et al. Nature 332:323-329, 1988, Queen et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 86:10029-10033, 1989, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,821,337, 7,527,791, 6,982,321, and 7,087,409, Kashmiri et al. Methods 36:25-34, 2005 (describing specificity-determining region (SDR) grafting), Padlan et al. This is further described in Mol. Immunol. 28:489-498, 1991 (describing "resurfacing"), Dall'Acqua et al. Methods 36:43-60, 2005 (describing "FR shuffling"), and Osbourn et al. Methods 36:61-68, 2005, and Klimka et al. Br. J. Cancer, 83:252-260, 2000 (describing a "guided selection" approach to FR shuffling).
[0188] Human framework regions that can be used for humanization include framework regions selected using the "best-fit" method (see, e.g., Sims et al. J. Immunol. 151:2296, 1993), framework regions derived from consensus sequences of human antibodies of particular subgroups of light or heavy chain variable regions (see, e.g., Carter et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:4285, 1992, and Presta et al. J. Immunol. 151:2623, 1993), human mature (somatically mutated) framework regions or human germline framework regions (see, e.g., Almagro et al. Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633, 2008), and framework regions obtained from screening of FR libraries (see, e.g., Baca et al. J. Biol. Chem. 272:10678-10684, 1997, and Rosok et al. J. Immunol. 151:2623, 1993). al. J. Biol. Chem. 271:22611-22618, 1996).
[0189] 4. Human antibodies In certain embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are human antibodies. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are generally described in van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5:368-74, 2001, and Lonberg, Curr. Opin. Immunol. 20:450-459, 2008.
[0190] Human antibodies can be prepared by administering immunogens to transgenic animals that are modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigen challenge.Such animals typically contain all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, which replace endogenous immunoglobulin loci, or are present extrachromosomally or randomly integrated into animal chromosomes.In such transgenic mice, endogenous immunoglobulin loci are generally inactivated.For a general overview of methods for obtaining human antibodies from transgenic animals, see Lonberg, Nat.Biotech.23:1117-1125,2005. See also, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584, which describe XENOMOUSE™ technology, U.S. Patent No. 5,770,429, which describes HUMAB® technology, U.S. Patent No. 7,041,870, which describes KM MOUSE® technology, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2007 / 0061900, which describes VELOCIMOUSE® technology. The human variable regions from intact antibodies produced by such animals may be further modified, for example, by combining with different human constant regions.
[0191] Human antibodies can also be produced by hybridoma-based methods. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines for the production of human monoclonal antibodies have been described (see, e.g., Kozbor J. Immunol., 133:3001, 1984; Brodeur et al. Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, pp. 51-63 (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1987); and Boerner et al. J. Immunol., 147:86, 1991). Human antibodies produced by human B cell hybridoma technology are also described in Li et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562, 2006. Additional methods include those described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 7,189,826 (which describes the production of monoclonal human IgM antibodies from hybridoma cell lines) and Ni, Xiandai Mianyixue, 26(4):265-268, 2006 (which describes human-human hybridomas). Human hybridoma technology (trioma technology) is also described in Vollmers and Brandlein, Histology and Histopathology, 20(3):927-937, 2005, and Vollmers and Brandlein, Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, 27(3):185-91, 2005.
[0192] Human antibodies may be generated by isolating Fv clone variable domain sequences selected from a human-derived phage display library. Such variable domain sequences may then be combined with desired human constant domains. Techniques for selecting human antibodies from antibody libraries are described below.
[0193] 5. Library-derived antibodies Antibodies of the invention can be isolated by screening combinatorial libraries for antibodies with the desired activity(ies). For example, a variety of methods are known in the art for generating phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies with the desired binding characteristics. Such methods are reviewed, for example, in Hoogenboom et al., in Methods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 2001), and are also described, for example, in McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-554, Clackson et al., Nature 352:624-628, 1991, Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597, 1992, Marks and Bradbury, in Methods in Molecular Biology 248:161-175 (Lo, ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 2003), Sidhu et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2):299-310, 2004, Lee et al. al. J. Mol. Biol. 340(5):1073-1093, 2004, Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34):12467-12472, 2004, and Lee et al. J. Immunol. Methods 284(1-2):119-132, 2004.
[0194] In one particular phage display method, repertoires of VH and VL genes are separately cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and randomly recombined into phage libraries, which can then be screened for antigen-binding phage, as described in Winter et al. Ann. Rev. Immunol., 12:433-455, 1994. Phages typically display antibody fragments as either single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or Fab fragments. Libraries derived from immunized sources provide high-affinity antibodies against immunogens without the need for hybridoma construction. Alternatively, naive repertoires can be cloned (e.g., from humans) to provide a single source of antibodies against a wide range of non-self and self antigens without any immunization, as described in Griffiths et al. EMBO J, 12:725-734, 1993. Finally, naive libraries can also be generated synthetically by cloning unrearranged V gene segments from stem cells and using PCR primers containing random sequences to encode the hypervariable CDR3 regions, and achieving rearrangement in vitro, as described in Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227:381-388, 1992. Patent publications describing human antibody phage libraries include, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,750,373, and U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2005 / 0079574, 2005 / 0119455, 2005 / 0266000, 2007 / 0117126, 2007 / 0160598, 2007 / 0237764, 2007 / 0292936, and 2009 / 0002360. Antibodies or antibody fragments isolated from human antibody libraries are considered human antibodies or human antibody fragments herein.

Multispecific antibodies, including FcRH5 T cell-dependent bispecific (TDB) antibodies In any one of the above aspects, the anti-FcRH5 antibody provided herein is a multispecific antibody, for example, a bispecific antibody. A multispecific antibody is a monoclonal antibody that has binding specificities for at least two different sites. In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody can bind to two different epitopes of FcRH5.
[0196] In certain embodiments, one of the binding specificities is for FcRH5 and the other is for CD3 (e.g., CD3ε or CD3γ). Such bispecific anti-FcRH5 antibodies are also referred to as FcRH5 T cell-dependent bispecific (TDB) antibodies or FcRH5 TDBs. In some cases, the second binding domain binds to an epitope of CD3 that includes amino acid residue Glu6 of CD3. In some cases, the epitope further includes one or more additional amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of Gln1, Asp2, and Met7 of CD3. In some cases, the epitope includes amino acid residues Gln1, Asp2, and Glu6 of CD3. In some cases, the epitope includes amino acid residues Gln1, Asp2, Glu6, and Met7 of CD3. In some cases, the epitope does not include amino acid residue Glu5 of CD3. In some cases, the epitope does not include amino acid residues Gly3 and Glu5 of CD3. In some instances, the epitope consists of amino acid residues Gln1, Asp2, Glu6, and Met7 of CD3.
[0197] In some other cases, the second binding domain can bind to a human CD3 polypeptide or a cynomolgus monkey CD3 polypeptide. In some cases, the human CD3 polypeptide or the cynomolgus monkey CD3 polypeptide is a human CD3ε polypeptide or a cynomolgus monkey CD3ε polypeptide, respectively. In some cases, the human CD3 polypeptide or the cynomolgus monkey CD3 polypeptide is a human CD3γ polypeptide or a cynomolgus monkey CD3γ polypeptide, respectively.
[0198] In certain cases, the second binding domain has a denaturing activity of ≦1 μM, ≦100 nM, ≦10 nM, ≦1 nM, ≦0.1 nM, ≦0.01 nM, or ≦0.001 nM (e.g., 10 -8 M or less, e.g. 10 -8 M~10 -13 M, e.g. 10 -9 M~10 -13 Dissociation constant (K D For example, in some cases, the second binding domain binds to a human CD3ε polypeptide with a K of ≦100 nM (e.g., ≦90 nM, ≦80 nM, ≦70 nM, ≦60 nM, ≦50 nM, ≦40 nM, ≦30 nM, ≦20 nM, ≦10 nM, ≦5 nM, ≦1 nM, ≦750 pM, ≦500 pM, ≦250 pM, ≦100 pM, ≦50 pM, ≦25 pM, ≦10 pM, ≦5 pM, or ≦1 pM) or less.
