[0012] Multispecific antibodies combine the benefits of different binding specificities derived from two or more antibodies into a single composition. Multispecific antibodies for redirecting T cells to cancer have shown promise in both preclinical and clinical trials. This approach relies on the binding of one antigen-interacting moiety of an antibody to a tumor-associated antigen or marker, while another antigen-interacting moiety can bind to effector cell antigens on T cells, such as differentiation antigen group 3 (CD3), which can trigger cytotoxic activity.

[0013] One such tumor-associated antigen is PSMA. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate peptidase I (NAALADase I), or NAAG peptidase, is an enzyme encoded in humans by the FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1) gene. PSMA is a membrane-based zinc metalloenzyme. The majority of this enzyme resides in the extracellular fluid space. Human PSMA is highly expressed in the prostate, at over 100 times higher levels than in most other tissues. In some prostate cancers, PSMA is the second most upregulated gene product, at levels 8 to 12 times higher than in non-cancerous prostate cells.

[0014] T-cell engager (TCE) therapy offers several advantages, including the fact that it is not a cell therapy, and can therefore be presented as an off-the-shelf treatment to counter chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy. While TCE therapy has shown promising antitumor activity against hematological malignancies, the development of TCEs for treating solid tumors faces challenges due to limitations of previous TCE technologies, namely (i) hyperactivation of the immune system leading to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), (ii) on-target healthy tissue toxicity, and (iii) poor tissue pharmacokinetics (PK) resulting in short half-lives. CRS arises from systemic activation of T cells and can lead to life-threatening increases in inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Severe acute CRS, resulting in dose-limiting toxicity and death, has been observed with the administration of T-cell engagers developed using other platforms to treat cancer patients in inadequate clinical trials. This toxicity limits the maximum blood concentration of T-cell engagers that can be safely administered. The efficacy of T-cell promoters is also limited by on-target toxicity to healthy tissue. T-cell promoters developed using platforms not designed for tumor-specific activation have been halted from clinical trials, resulting in targeted expression in healthy tissue. T-cell promoters are also limited by their short half-lives. Due to their short exposure half-lives, T-cell promoters are rapidly excreted from the body, quickly reaching sub-therapeutic levels after administration. Therefore, to overcome the challenges of short half-lives and maintain therapeutic drug levels in the body, T-cell promoters such as blinatumomab are typically administered at low doses via continuous infusion pumps over several weeks. Continuous dosing regimens present a significant burden on patients.

[0015] To overcome these challenges associated with the efficacy of T cell engagers, polypeptides or polypeptide complexes comprising binding domains that selectively bind to effector cell antigens and PSMA are described herein, wherein one or more binding domains are selectively activated in the tumor microenvironment, and the polypeptide or polypeptide complex contains a half-life extension molecule. Such modifications reduce the risk of CRS and on-target healthy tissue toxicity and improve pre-activation blood flow and serum half-life stability. The polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are active at low levels of targeted expression and are readily manufactured.

[0016] In some embodiments, the polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are used in methods of treating cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer has cells expressing PSMA. In some embodiments, the polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are used in methods of treating prostate cancer. In some embodiments, the prostate cancer is metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, with more than 3 million men living with it in the United States alone. Early diagnosis and effective treatment mean that the majority of prostate cancer patients have a prognosis of approximately 98 percent average five-year survival rate. However, an estimated 6 percent of prostate cancer patients develop metastatic disease, which accounts for approximately 30 percent of the five-year survival rate. In 2020, an estimated 33,000 people died from prostate cancer in the United States.

[0017] In some examples, the polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are used to treat solid tumor cancers.

[0129] As used herein, the term “amino acid sequence identity percentage (%)” with respect to a sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that, after aligning the sequences as necessary and introducing gaps, is identical to an amino acid residue in a given sequence and achieves the maximum sequence identity percentage, without considering conservative substitutions as part of sequence identity. Alignment for the purpose of determining amino acid sequence identity percentage can be achieved in a variety of ways within the scope of what a person skilled in the art can imagine, using publicly available computer software such as EMBOSS MATCHER, EMBOSS WATER, EMBOSS STRETCHER, EMBOSS NEEDLE, EMBOSS LALIGN, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. A person skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring the alignment, including any algorithms necessary to achieve the largest possible sequence that exceeds the full length of the sequences being compared. In situations where ALIGN-2 is used for amino acid sequence comparison, the amino acid sequence of a given amino acid sequence B (to, with, or against) a given amino acid sequence A (or a given amino acid sequence A that has or contains a specific amino acid sequence identity % to a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as 100 × fraction X / Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in the program alignment of A and B, and Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It is recognized that if the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the amino acid sequence identity % between A and B will not be equal to the amino acid sequence identity % between B and A. Unless otherwise specified, all amino acid sequence identity % used herein are obtained using the ALIGN-2 computer program as described in the preceding paragraph.

[0200] Production of antibodies that bind to PSMA and CD3 In some embodiments, the polypeptides described herein (e.g., antibodies and their conjugated fragments) are produced by any method known in the art as useful for the synthesis of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), specifically by chemical synthesis or recombinant expression, and preferably by recombinant expression techniques.

[0201] In some cases, the antibody or its binding fragment is expressed by recombination, and the nucleic acid encoding the antibody or its binding fragment is assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides (e.g., those described by Kutmeier et al. in "BioTechniques 17:242" in 1994), requiring the synthesis of duplicate oligonucleotides containing multiple portions of the antibody-encoding sequence, annealing and ligation of these oligonucleotides, and subsequent PCR amplification of the ligated oligonucleotides.

[0202] Alternatively, nucleic acid molecules encoding antibodies can be optionally generated from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or a cDNA library generated from any tissue or cell expressing immunoglobulin) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers that can hybridize to the 3' and 5' ends of the sequence, or by cloning using oligonucleotide probes specific to a particular gene sequence.

[0203] In some cases, the antibody or its binding fragment is optionally generated by immunizing an animal such as a mouse to produce a polyclonal antibody, or more preferably by generating a monoclonal antibody as described, for example, by Kohler and Milstein (1975, Nature 256:495-497), by Kozbor et al. (1983, Immunology Today 4:72), or by Cole et al. (1985 in Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96). Alternatively, clones encoding at least the Fab portion of an antibody can be optionally obtained by screening a Fab expression library for clones of Fab fragments that bind to specific antigens (e.g., as described by Huse et al. in Science 246:1275-1281, 1989) or by screening an antibody library (see, for example, Clackson et al. in Nature 352:624, 1991, and Hane et al. in Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 94:4937, 1997).

[0204] In some embodiments, techniques developed to produce "chimeric antibodies" by splicing genes from appropriate antigen-specific mouse antibody molecules together with genes from appropriately bioactive human antibody molecules are used (Morrison et al., 1984, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.81:851-855; Neuberger et al., 1984, Nature 312:604-608; Takeda et al., 1985, Nature 314:452-454). Chimeric antibodies are molecules in which various parts originate from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a mouse monoclonal antibody and a constant region from a human immunoglobulin.

[0205] In some embodiments, techniques described for the production of single-chain antibodies (U.S. Patent No. 4,694,778, Science 242:423-42 by Bird, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 85:5879-5883 by Huston et al., and Nature 334:544-54 by Ward et al., 1989) are suitable for producing single-chain antibodies. Single-chain antibodies are formed by linking heavy and light chain fragments of the Fv site via amino acid crosslinking, resulting in single-chain polypeptides. Techniques for assembling functional Fv fragments in E. coli are also used optionally (Science 242:1038-1041 by Skerra et al., 1988).

[0206] In some embodiments, an expression vector containing the antibody nucleotide sequence, or the antibody nucleotide sequence itself, is transferred to host cells by conventional techniques (e.g., electroporation, liposome transfection, and calcium phosphate precipitation), and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques for antibody production. In certain embodiments, antibody expression is regulated by a constitutive promoter, an inducible promoter, or a tissue-specific promoter.

[0207] In some embodiments, various host expression vector systems are used to express the antibodies or their conjugated fragments described herein. Such host expression systems represent not only vehicles that produce and subsequently purify the antibody coding sequence, but also cells that express the antibody or its conjugated fragment in situ when transformed or transfected with a suitable nucleotide coding sequence. These include microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA, or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing the coding sequence of the antibody or its conjugated fragment, yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces picia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing the coding sequence of the antibody or its conjugated fragment, insect cell lines infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing the coding sequence of the antibody or its conjugated fragment, and recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus). Examples include, but are not limited to, plant cell lines infected with (CaMV and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmids) containing the coding sequence of antibodies or their binding fragments, or mammalian cell lines (e.g., COS, CHO, BH, 293, 293T, 3T3 cells) containing recombinant expression constructs derived from mammalian cell genomes (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or mammalian viruses (e.g., adenovirus late promoter, vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter).

[0208] For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is desirable. In some cases, cell lines that stably express antibodies are manipulated by arbitrary selection. Rather than using expression vectors that contain viral replication origins, host cells are transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression regulators (e.g., promoters, enhancers, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.) and selectable markers. After introduction of exogenous DNA, the manipulated cells are grown in enriched medium for 1-2 days, then switched to selective medium. The selectable markers in the recombinant plasmid provide resistance to selection, allowing the cells to grow to form a foci that stably integrates the plasmid into their chromosomes, is cloned, and expands into a cell line. This method can be advantageously used to manipulate cell lines that express antibodies or their binding fragments.

[0209] In some examples, numerous selection systems have been used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., 1977, Cell 11:223), hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska and Szybalski, 192, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 48:202), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., 1980, Cell 22:817) genes, which are used for tk-, hgprt-, or aprt- cells, respectively. Furthermore, antimetabolite resistance is also associated with the following genes: dhfr, which imparts resistance to methotrexate (Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 77:357 by Wigler et al., 1980; Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 78:1527 by O'Hare et al., 1981); gpt, which imparts resistance to mycophenolate (Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 78:2072 by Mulligan and Berg, 1981); and neo, which imparts resistance to aminoglycoside G-418 (Clinical Pharmacy 12:488-505; Biotherapy by Wu and Wu, 1991). It is used as a selection criterion for hygromycin-resistant hygro (Santerre et al., Gene 30:147, 1984). (3:87-95, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573-596 by Tolstoshev, Science 260:926-932, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62:191-217, 1993; May 1993, TIB TECH 11(5):155-215) by Morgan and Anderson.Well-known methods in the field of recombinant DNA techniques that are available are described in Ausubel et al. (eds.), *Current Protocols in Molecular Biology*, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1993; Kriegler, *Gene Transfer and Expression*, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY, 1990; Chapters 12 and 13 of *Current Protocols in Human Genetics*, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1994, edited by Dracopoli et al.; and Colberre-Garapin et al., *J.Mol.Biol.150:1*, 1981.

[0210] In some cases, antibody expression levels increase with vector amplification (see Bebbington and Hentschel, "the use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned genes in mammalian cells in DNA cloning," Vol. 3 (Academic Press, New York, 1987) for commentary). If the marker in the antibody-expressing vector system is amplified, the number of copies of the marker gene increases due to the increased level of the inhibitor present in the host cell culture. Since the amplified site is related to the antibody's nucleotide sequence, antibody production also increases (Crouse et al., 1983, Mol. Cell Biol. 3:257).

[0211] In some cases, any method known in the field of antibody purification is used, for example, by chromatography (e.g., by ion exchange, affinity, specifically by affinity of protein A to specific antigens, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or other standard techniques for protein purification.

[0230] manufactured goods In another aspect of the present invention, a product is provided containing materials useful for treating, preventing, and / or diagnosing the aforementioned disorders. The product comprises a container and a label or accompanying documentation located on or attached to the container. Suitable containers include, for example, bottles, vials, syringes, and IV solution bags. The container may be formed from a variety of materials, such as glass or plastic. The container may hold one composition, either by itself or in combination with another composition effective for treating, preventing, and / or diagnosing a disease, and may have a sterile access port (for example, the container may be an intravenous injection bag or vial with a stopper through which a subcutaneous needle can be inserted). At least one active agent in the composition is a bispecific antibody comprising a first antigen-binding site that specifically binds to CD3 and a second antigen-binding site that specifically binds to PSMA as defined herein.

[0231] The label or accompanying leaflet indicates that the composition is used to treat a selected disease. Furthermore, the product may comprise (a) a first container containing a composition comprising the bispecific antibody of the present invention, and (b) a second container containing a composition comprising a cytotoxic or other therapeutic agent. The product in this embodiment of the present invention may further comprise an accompanying leaflet indicating that the composition is available for use in treating a particular disease.

[0232] Alternatively or additionally, the product may further comprise a second (or third) container containing a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer such as bacteriostatic distilled water for injection (BWFI), phosphate-buffered saline, Ringer's solution, and dextrose solution. Furthermore, it may comprise other commercially and user-desirable materials, including other buffers, excipients, filters, needles, and syringes.

[0233] Specific definition The terms used herein are intended to describe, and not limit, specific cases. Where used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless otherwise specified in the context. Furthermore, terms such as “including,” “includes,” “having,” “has,” “with,” or variations thereof, are intended to be encompassed to the same extent as “comprising” when used in any form for carrying out the invention and / or in the claims.

[0234] The term "antibody" is used in its broadest sense and includes fully assembled antibodies capable of binding to antigens, antibody fragments such as Fab, F(ab')2, Fv, single-chain antibodies (scFv), diabodies, antibody chimeras, hybrid antibodies, and bispecific antibodies.

[0235] The term "complementarity-determining region" or "CDR" refers to a segment of the variable region of an antibody that is structurally complementary to an epitope to which the antibody binds and which is more variable than the remainder of the variable region. Therefore, CDRs are sometimes referred to as hypervariable regions. A variable region contains three CDRs. CDR peptides can be obtained by constructing a gene that encodes the CDR of the antibody of interest. Such genes are prepared, for example, by using polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells. For example, see Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2:106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, "Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), pp. 166-179 (Cambridge University Press 1995); and Ward et al., "Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch et al. (eds.), pp. 137-185 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995).

[0236] The term "Fab" refers to a protein containing a constant region of the light chain and a first constant region (CH1) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by adding a few residues from the antibody hinge region to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain, which contains one or more cysteines. Fab'-SH is a designation used herein for Fab' fragments in which the cysteine ​​residues in the constant region carry a free thiol group. Fab' fragments are produced by reducing the heavy chain disulfide crosslinks of the F(ab')2 fragment. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.

[0237] A "single-chain variable fragment (scFv)" is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains of an antibody, linked to a short linker peptide of 10 to approximately 25 amino acids. The linker is usually rich in glycine for flexibility and also rich in serine or threonine for solubility, and can connect the N-terminus of VH to the C-terminus of VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody regardless of the removal of the constant region and the introduction of the linker. scFv antibodies are described, for example, in Houston, JS, Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991) 46-96. In addition, antibody fragments contain a single-chain polypeptide that has the characteristics of a VH domain that can be assembled together with the VL domain to a functional antigen-binding site, or a VL domain that can be assembled together with the VH domain, thereby providing the antigen-binding properties of a full-length antibody.

[Examples]

[0465] Example 1: Binding of PSMA polypeptide complex The PSMA-CD3 polypeptide complexes shown in Table 7 were evaluated for their binding to PSMA and CD3ε.

[0466] [Table 7]

[0467] The polypeptide complex molecules listed in Table 7 were evaluated for their binding ability to PSMA and CD3 using standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Polypeptide complex binding to PSMA or CD3 was measured before and after protease treatment. Briefly, biotinylated antigens were captured on plates coated with neutraavidin. Where indicated, polypeptide complex molecules were treated with active matryptase (MTSP1). Subsequently, the polypeptide complex molecules, diluted in buffer, were added to the antigen-coated plates. The bound polypeptide complexes were detected using a standard horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. The polypeptide complex concentration required to achieve a 50% maximum signal (EC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism.

[0468] Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C show representative PSMA-bound ELISAs. This data is summarized in Table 8. Figures 3A, 3B, and 3C show representative CD3-bound ELISAs. This data is summarized in Table 9. EC of masked polypeptide complexes of PC3. 50 The EC of the masked polypeptide complex of PC5 was approximately 8 times higher than that of PC3 treated with protease. 50 The EC of the masked polypeptide complex of PC4 and PC6 was approximately 95 times higher than that of PC3 treated with protease. 50 These values ​​were approximately 100 times and 230 times higher, respectively, than those of polypeptide complexes treated with protease.

[0469] [Table 8]

[0470] [Table 9]

[0471] Example 2: Polypeptide-mediated tumor cytotoxicity and T cell activation Polypeptide complexes were evaluated in a functional in vitro tumor cell death assay using PSMA-positive tumor cell lines 22Rv1 and LNCaP. Tumor cell death was measured using Acea Biosciences' real-time cell analyzer, which depended on increased sensor impedance measurements (cell index) as tumor cells adhered to, spread, and expanded on the sensor surface. Similarly, impedance decreased as tumor cells died. 25,000 tumor cells were added to each well and allowed to adhere overnight. The following day, polypeptide complexes titrated with 75,000 CD8+ T cells in human serum supplement medium were added to the wells. Cell index measurements were acquired every 10 minutes for a further 96 hours. The cell index × time (dynamics of tumor cell proliferation) was then plotted against the concentration of the polypeptide complex, and the concentration required to reduce tumor growth by 50% (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism.

[0472] The 22Rv1 tumor cell line has a PSMA density of approximately 3000 copies per cell. Figure 4 shows representative viability data for 22Rv1 treated with PC1 or PC2. This data is summarized in Table 10, showing that PC2 is approximately 1000 times more potent than PC1. Figures 5A and 5B, as well as Tables 11 and 12, show viability data for 22Rv1 cells treated with masked or cleaved polypeptide complexes. The IC50 of the masked polypeptide complex of PC5 was more than 50 times that of the unmasked polypeptide complex of PC1, but protease treatment reduced the IC50 to less than that of PC1. Similarly, the IC50s of the masked polypeptide complexes of PC4 and PC6 were approximately 150 and 200 times that of PC2, respectively, and both were rescued to approximately 1.7 and 2.5 times that of PC2 by protease treatment.

[0473] The LNCaP tumor cell line has a PSMA density of approximately 350,000 copies per cell. Figure 6 shows representative viability data for LNCaP. This data is summarized in Table 13, showing that PC2 is approximately 100 times more viable than PC1. Figure 7 and Table 14 show viability data for LNCaP cells treated with masked or cleaved polypeptide complexes. The IC50 of the masked polypeptide complex of PC4 was approximately 30 times that of the unmasked polypeptide complex of PC2, but protease treatment rescued the IC50 to approximately 2.5 times that of the unmasked polypeptide complex.

[0479] Example 3: Tumor cell death mediated by polypeptide complex The polypeptide complex was evaluated in a functional in vitro tumor cell death assay using the PSMA-positive tumor cell line 22Rv1. Tumor cell death was measured using Agilent's xCelligence real-time cell analyzer, which is dependent on increased sensor impedance measurements (cell index) as tumor cells adhere to, spread, and expand on the sensor surface. Similarly, impedance decreased as tumor cells died. 10,000 tumor cells were added to each well and allowed to adhere overnight on a 96-well E-plate. The following day, the polypeptide complex, titrated with 30,000 CD8+ T cells in human serum supplement medium, was added to the wells. Cell index measurements were acquired every 10 minutes for a further 72 hours. The cell index × time (dynamics of tumor cell proliferation) was then plotted against the concentration of the polypeptide complex, and the concentration required to reduce tumor growth by 50% (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism software. The data are shown in Figures 8A and 8B.

[0480] Example 4: Pharmacokinetics of polypeptide complexes in cynomolgus monkeys The pharmacokinetics and exploratory safety of polypeptide molecules were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys weighing approximately 3 kg were administered the polypeptide as an IV bolus, and signs of adverse events were observed daily. No adverse events were observed during survival. Blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific time points after administration and processed into plasma. The plasma was cryopreserved until analysis. The concentration of polypeptide molecules in the plasma was measured using standard ELISA techniques and compared to a reference standard diluted in control cynomolgus monkey plasma. The plasma concentration curves were fitted to the standard two-stage exponential equation representing the stages of distribution and excretion. Pharmacokinetic fitting allowed for the calculation of Cmax, half-life, volume of distribution, clearance, and area under the curve (AUC) over 7 days, as shown in Table 15 for the PSMA TCE polypeptide complex and Table 16 for the PSMA TRACTr polypeptide complex. The data are shown in Figures 9A-9B. The pharmacokinetics measured in cynomolgus monkeys support once-weekly administration in humans.

[0482] [Table 16]

[0483] Example 5: Cytokine release of polypeptide complexes in cynomolgus monkeys Cytokine release after IV bolus administration of polypeptide molecules to cynomolgus monkeys was evaluated. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys weighing approximately 3 kg were administered polypeptides as IV boluses, and signs of adverse events were observed daily. No adverse events were observed during survival. After administration, blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific time points and processed into plasma. The plasma was frozen and stored until analysis. Plasma samples were analyzed for cytokines using BD Biosciences' non-human primate cytometric Th1 / Th2 bead array kit, following the manufacturer's instructions. Levels of interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-5, interleukin-4, and interleukin-2 in the plasma were calculated by comparing them to the reference standards provided in the bead array kit. The data are shown in Figures 10A to 10C.

[0484] Example 6: Toxicity of polypeptide complexes in cynomolgus monkeys Systemic liver enzymes were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys after IV bolus administration of polypeptide molecules. Briefly, approximately 3 kg cynomolgus monkeys were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus, and signs of adverse events were observed daily. No adverse events were observed during survival. Blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific time points after administration and processed into plasma. Plasma was frozen and stored until analysis. Plasma samples were analyzed for the presence of liver enzymes aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as signs of possible hepatotoxicity. AST and ALT levels remained within the normal range at all time points tested after administration, suggesting the absence of hepatotoxicity. AST and ALT were quantified according to the instructions provided in the commercially available Millipore kit. AST and ALT levels were calculated by comparing them to a positive control reference standard according to the manufacturer's instructions. Data are shown in Figures 11A and 11B.

[0485] Example 7: Construction of an optimized phage library - CD3 scFv peptide Sequence activity relationships (SARs) were established for peptides A and B by mutating individual residues within the peptides to alanine and measuring their binding and inhibition against SP34.185 scFv. Peptide residues where binding and inhibition were significantly weakened by the alanine mutation could be identified as critical residues where mutation was unacceptable. Peptide residues where the performance of the alanine mutation was similar to that of the non-mutated sequence could be identified as uncritical sites where mutation was unacceptable. A DNA oligo library was constructed using peptide SARs, where mutations in codons encoding critical residues within each peptide sequence were minimal, while mutations in codons encoding uncritical residues were large. The resulting oligos were cloned into bacteriophage vectors used to represent SAR-guided peptides via fusion to bacteriophage pIII filaments. Subsequently, phage-optimized libraries were produced using the relevant vectors via amplification in bacteria using techniques standard in the art.

[0486] The binding ability of peptides to SP34.185scFv was evaluated using standard ELISA. Briefly, biotinylated peptides were captured on a neutraavidin-coated plate and quenched by biocitin followed by a washing step. SP34.185scFv was then titrated onto the plate containing the captured peptides. The plate was then washed, and binding of SP34.185scFv was detected using a second horseradish peroxidase antibody conjugate. After another washing, the plate was developed using standard ELISA techniques and stopped with acid. The concentration of SP34.185scFv required to achieve a 50% maximum signal or EC50 was calculated using Graphpad prism. The data are shown in Figures 12A to 12F and summarized in Tables 17A to 17D. Table 19 shows the peptide sequences of the CD3 alanine scan (Ala Scan) peptides in peptide A and peptide B.
