AI Technical Summary
There is a need for new and improved therapies targeting Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-related diseases and disorders, particularly in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), as existing treatments are inadequate due to the exclusive intracellular expression of DLL3 in normal cells and its surface expression in cancer cells, making it a highly tumor-selective target.
Development of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for immune cells, specifically engineered to bind to DLL3, comprising DLL3-specific antigen-binding molecules, costimulatory domains, and activator domains, which are introduced into immune cells using vectors such as retroviral or lentiviral vectors, enhancing their ability to recognize and kill tumor cells.
The engineered immune cells effectively target and kill DLL3-expressing tumor cells, providing a therapeutic approach for DLL3-related diseases, including SCLC, by enhancing the immune response and persistence of modified T cells.

Description
CHIMERIC DLL3 RECEPTORS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE RELATED APPLICATIONS Priority is requested over U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. e62 / 655.725, filed on April 10, 2018, the full content of which is incorporated herein by reference. LIST OF SEQUENCES This application contains a Sequence List that has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. This ASCII copy, created on April 10, 2019, is named A-2249-WO-PCT_SL.txt and has a size of 86,327 bytes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of all diagnosed lung cancer cases, but it is an aggressive form of lung carcinoma (Enstone et al., (2017) Pharmacoecon Opendoi: 10.1007 / s41669-017-0045-0; Bunn et al., (2016) J Thorac Oncol 11: 453-74; Siegel et al., (2016) CA Cancer J Clin, 66: 7-30). Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is a member of the Delta / Serrate / Lag 2 family of Notch receptor ligands and is thought to play a role in Notch signaling. DLL3 is an inhibitory ligand of the Notch signaling pathway that is generally expressed exclusively on intracellular membranes (Geffers et al., (2007) J Cell Biol, 178: 465-76). Representative orthologs of the DLL3 protein include, but are not limited to, human (Accession Nos. NP 058637 and NP 982353), chimpanzee (Accession No. XP_003316395), mouse (Accession No. NP 031892), and rat (Accession No. NP 446118) orthologs.In humans, the DKK3 gene consists of 8 exons spanning approximately 9.5 kBp located on chromosome 19q13. Alternative splicing in the last exon results in two processed transcripts, one of 2389 bases (Accession No. NM 016941) and one of 2052 bases (Accession No. NM 203486). The first transcript encodes a protein of 618 amino acids (Accession No. NP 058637; SEQ ID No.: 29), while the second encodes a protein of 587 amino acids (Accession No. NP 982353; SEQ ID No.: 30). In certain types of cancer, such as SCLC, DLL3 has been found to be expressed on the cell surface, making it a highly selective cell surface protein for tumors (Saunders et al., (2015) Sel Trans Med:, 7: 302ra136.). Modified immune cells have been shown to possess the desired qualities for therapeutic treatments, particularly in oncology. There are two fundamental types of modified immune cells: those containing chimeric antigen receptors (called “CAR” or “CAR-T”) and T cell receptors (“TCR”). These modified cells have been engineered to confer antigen specificity while retaining or enhancing their ability to recognize and kill a target cell. Chimeric antigen receptors may comprise, for example, (i) an antigen-specific component (“antigen-binding molecule”), (ii) one or more costimulatory domains, and (iii) one or more activating domains. Each domain may be heterogeneous, meaning it may be composed of sequences derived from different protein chains.Immune cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (such as T cells) can be used in various therapies, including cancer therapies. It will be shown that the costimulatory polypeptides defined herein can be used to enhance the activation of CAR-expressing cells against target antigens, thereby increasing the potency of adoptive immunotherapy. T cells can be modified to be specific to one or more desired targets. For example, T cells can be transduced with DNA or other genetic material that encodes an antigen-binding molecule, such as one or more single variable chain fragments (“scFv’j”) of an antibody, along with one or more signaling molecules, and / or one or more activating domains, such as CD3 zeta. In addition to the ability of CAR T cells to recognize and destroy the targeted cells, a successful T cell therapy could benefit from the ability of CAR T cells to persist and maintain the capacity to proliferate in response to an antigen. Therefore, there remains a need to identify new and improved therapies for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to DLL3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to modified immune cells (such as CAR or TCR), antigen-binding molecules (including, but not limited to, antibodies, scFv, heavy and / or light chains and CDRs of these antigen-binding molecules) with DLL3 specificity. The chimeric antigen receptors of the invention typically comprise: (i) a DLL3-specific antigen-binding molecule, (ii) one or more costimulatory domains, and (iii) one or more activating domains.

Figure 6 shows a survival analysis of the mouse xenogeneic SCLC model after treatment with CAR DLL3 T cells. Figure 7 shows the pGAR vector map. ccyni n / nznz / E / YiAi DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It will be observed that chimeric antigen receptors (CARs or CAR-Ts) and T-cell receptors (TCRs) are genetically modified receptors. These modified receptors can be easily inserted and expressed on immune cells, including T cells, using techniques known to the art. With a CAR, a single receptor can be programmed to recognize a specific antigen and, when bound to that antigen, activate the immune cell to attack and destroy the cell containing that antigen. When these antigens are present on tumor cells, an immune cell expressing the CAR can seek out and kill the tumor cell. CARs can be modified to bind to an antigen (such as a cell surface antigen) by incorporating an antigen-binding molecule that interacts with the desired antigen. Preferably, the antigen-binding molecule is an antibody fragment of the antigen, and more preferably one or more single-chain antibody fragments (“scFv”). An scFv is a single-chain antibody fragment having the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody linked together. See U.S. Patent Nos. 7,741,465 and 6,319,494, as well as Eshhar et al., Cancer Immunol Immunotherapy (1997) 45: 131–136. An scFv retains the ability of the parental antibody to interact specifically with a target antigen. scFvs are preferred for use in chimeric antigen receptors because they can be modified to be expressed as part of a single chain along with the other CAR components. Id.See also Krause et al., J. Exp. Med., Volume 188, No. 4, 1998 (619-626); Finney et al., Journal of Immunology, 1998, 161: 2791-2797. It can be seen that the antigen-binding molecule is typically contained in the extracellular portion of the CAR so that it can recognize and bind to the antigen of interest. Bispecific and multispecific CARs, which have specificity for more than one target of interest, are included within the scope of the invention. Costimulatory domains: Chimeric antigen receptors can incorporate costimulatory (signaling) domains to increase their potency. See U.S. Patent Nos. 7,741,465 and 6,319,494, as well as Krause et al., and Finney et al., (supra), Song et al., Blood 119: 696-706 (2012); Kalos et al., Sel Transí.

Therefore, these domains can form part of (i) the extracellular (EC) “hinge” or domain (EC), (ii) the transmembrane (TM) domain, and / or (ii) the intracellular (cytoplasmic) (IC) domain. The intracellular component frequently includes, in part, a member of the CD3 family, preferably CD3 zeta, which has the ability to activate the T cell upon binding of the antigen-binding molecule to its target. In one embodiment, the hinge domain is typically composed of at least one costimulatory domain, as defined herein. It can also be seen that the hinge region may also contain some or all members of the immunoglobulin family such as IgG1, lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM or a fragment thereof. Examples of CAR constructions according to the invention are shown in Table 1.

In some embodiments, the cell is a human cell.In some embodiments, the cell is transfected or transduced by the nucleic acid vector using a method selected from the group consisting of electroporation, sonoporation, biolistics (e.g., gene gun), lipid transfection, polymer transfection, nanoparticles, or polyplexes. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptors are expressed on modified immune cells comprising the nucleic acids of this application. These chimeric antigen receptors of this application may comprise, in some embodiments, (i) an antigen-binding molecule (such as an scFv), (ii) a transmembrane region, and (iii) a T-cell activation molecule or region. ANTIGEN-BINDING MOLECULES Antigen-binding molecules are within the scope of the invention. An “antigen-binding molecule,” as used herein, refers to any protein that binds to a specific target antigen. In this application, the specified target antigen is the DLL3 protein or a fragment thereof. Antigen-binding molecules include, but are not limited to, antibodies and binding components thereof, such as immunologically functional fragments. Peptibodies (i.e., Fe fusion molecules comprising peptide-binding domains) are another example of suitable antigen-binding molecules. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule binds to an antigen on a tumor cell. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule binds to an antigen on a cell involved in a hyperproliferative disease or to a viral or bacterial antigen. In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule binds to DLL3. In other embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is an antibody or a fragment thereof, including one or more of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) thereof. In other embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is a single-chain variable fragment (scFv). The term “immunologically functional fragment” (or “fragment”) of an antigen-binding molecule refers to a type of antigen-binding molecule comprising a portion (regardless of how that portion is obtained or synthesized) of an antibody that lacks at least some of the amino acids present in a full-length chain but can still specifically bind to an antigen. These fragments exhibit biological activity if they specifically bind to the target antigen and can compete with other antigen-binding molecules, including intact antibodies, for specific binding to a given epitope. In some embodiments, the fragments are neutralizing fragments. In some embodiments, the fragments can block or reduce the activity of DLL3.In one aspect, this fragment will retain at least one CDR present in the complete light or heavy chain, and in some embodiments, it will comprise a single heavy chain and / or a light chain, or a portion thereof. These fragments can be produced by recombinant DNA procedures or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of antigen-binding molecules, including intact antibodies. Immunologically functional immunoglobulin fragments include, but are not limited to, scFv fragments, Fab fragments (Fab1, F(abjz), and the like), one or more CDRs, a diabody (a heavy-chain variable domain on the same polypeptide as a light-chain variable domain, linked by a short peptide bridge that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain), antibody domains, and single-chain antibodies. These fragments may be derived from any mammalian source, including, but not limited to, human, mouse, rat, camelid, or rabbit. As a practitioner in the field will appreciate, an antigen-binding molecule may include non-protein components. The variants of the antigen-binding molecules are also within the scope of the invention, for example, variable light and / or variable heavy chains, each of which has at least 70-80%, 80-85%, 85-90%, 90-95%, 95-97%, 97-99%, or more than 99% identity with the amino acid sequences described herein. In some cases, such molecules include at least one heavy chain and one light chain, while in other cases the variant forms contain two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains (or subparts thereof). The skilled worker may determine the appropriate variants of the antigen-binding molecules described herein using well-known techniques.In some embodiments, the art specialist will also be able to identify suitable areas of the molecule that can be changed without destroying the activity by searching for regions that are not considered important for the activity. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide structure of the antigen-binding molecules is based on antibodies, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, minibodies, antibody domains, synthetic antibodies (sometimes referred to as “antibody mimetics” herein), chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, antibody fusions (sometimes referred to as “antibody conjugates” herein), and fragments thereof, respectively. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule comprises or consists of avimers. In some embodiments, a DLL3 antigen-binding molecule is delivered alone. In other embodiments, the DLL3 antigen-binding molecule is delivered as part of a CAR, TCR, or other immune cell. In such immune cells, the DLL3 antigen-binding molecule may be under the control of the same promoter region or a separate promoter. In certain embodiments, the genes encoding protein agents and / or a DLL3 antigen-binding molecule may be contained in separate vectors. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a DLL3 antigen-binding molecule together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, vehicle, solubilizer, emulsifier, preservative, and / or adjuvant. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions include more than one different DLL3 antigen-binding molecule. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions include more than one DLL3 antigen-binding molecule, wherein the DLL3 antigen-binding molecules bind to more than one epitope. In some embodiments, the various antigen-binding molecules do not compete with each other for binding to DLL3. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be selected for parenteral administration, inhalation, or administration via the digestive tract, such as orally. The preparation of such compositions suitable for pharmaceutical use is within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art. In certain embodiments, buffer solutions are used to maintain the composition at physiological pH or a slightly lower pH, typically within a pH range of approximately 5 to approximately 8. In certain embodiments, where parenteral administration is contemplated, a therapeutic composition may be in the form of a pyrogen-free aqueous solution suitable for parenteral use comprising a desired antigen-binding molecule for DLL3, with or without additional therapeutic agents, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle.In certain embodiments, a vehicle for parenteral injection is sterile distilled water in which an antigen-binding molecule against DLL3 is formulated, with or without at least one additional therapeutic agent, as a suitably preserved sterile isotonic solution. In certain embodiments, the preparation may involve formulating the desired molecule with polymeric compounds (such as polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid), beads, or liposomes, which can provide controlled or sustained release of the product, which can be administered by depot injection. In certain embodiments, implantable drug delivery devices can be used to introduce the desired molecule. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is used as a diagnostic or validation tool. The antigen-binding molecule can be used to assess the amount of DLL3 present in a sample and / or in a subject. In some embodiments, the diagnostic antigen-binding molecule is non-neutralizing. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecules disclosed herein are used or provided in an assay kit and / or method for the detection of DLL3 in mammalian tissues or cells to detect / diagnose a disease or disorder associated with changes in DLL3 levels. The kit may comprise an antigen-binding molecule that binds to DLL3, along with means for indicating the binding of the antigen-binding molecule to DLL3, if present, and optionally the levels of the DLL3 protein. Antigen-binding molecules will be further understood in view of the following definitions and descriptions. An “Fe” region comprises two heavy chain fragments comprising the antibody domains CH1 and CH2. The two heavy chain fragments are held together by two or more disulfide bonds, and by hydrophobic interactions between the CH3 domains. A “Fab fragment” comprises a light chain and the CH1 and variable regions of a heavy chain. A Fab heavy chain molecule cannot form a disulfide bond with another heavy chain molecule. A “Fab' fragment” comprises a light chain and a portion of a heavy chain containing the VH domain and the Ch1 domain, and also the region between the Ch1 and Ch2 domains, so that a disulfide bond can form between the two heavy chains of two Fab' fragments to form an F(ab')2 molecule. An “F(ab')2 fragment” comprises two light chains and two heavy chains containing a portion of the constant region between the CH1 and CH2 domains, so that a disulfide bond forms between the two heavy chains. Therefore, an F(ab')2 is composed of two Fab' fragments held together by a disulfide bond between the two heavy chains. The “Fv region” comprises the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, but lacks the constant regions. A “variable single-chain fragment” (“scFv,” also called a “single-chain antibody”) refers to Fv molecules in which the variable regions of the heavy and light chains have been joined by a flexible connector to form a single polypeptide chain, which constitutes an antigen-binding region. See PCT Application WO88 / 01649 and U.S. Patent Nos. 4,946,778 and 5,260,203, disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. A “bivalent antigen-binding molecule” comprises two antigen-binding sites. In some cases, the two binding sites have the same antigenic specificities. Bivalent antigen-binding molecules can be bispecific. A “multispecific antigen-binding molecule” is a molecule directed against more than one antigen or epitope. A “bispecific,” “double-specific,” or “bifunctional” antigen-binding molecule is an antigen-binding molecule or a hybrid antibody, respectively, that has two different antigen-binding sites. The two binding sites of a bispecific antigen-binding molecule will bind to two different epitopes, which may reside on the same protein targets or on different targets. An antigen-binding molecule is said to "bind specifically" to its target antigen when its dissociation constant (Kd) is approximately 1 x 10⁻⁷ M. The antigen-binding molecule binds specifically to the antigen with "high affinity" when its Kd is 1.5 x 10⁻⁹ M, and with "very high affinity" when its Kd is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ M. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule has a Kd < 10⁻⁹ M. In another embodiment, the dissociation constant is < 1 x 10⁻⁵ M. In other embodiments, antigen-binding molecules will bind to human DLL3 with a Kd between approximately 10⁻⁷ M and 10⁻¹³ M, and in yet another embodiment, antigen-binding molecules will bind with a Kd of 10⁻⁵ x 10⁻¹⁰ M. An antigen-binding molecule is said to be "selective" when it binds to one target with greater affinity than to a second target. The term “antibody” refers to an intact immunoglobulin of any isotype or a fragment thereof that can compete with the intact antibody for specific binding to the target antigen, and includes, for example, chimeric, humanized, fully human, and bispecific antibodies. An “antibody” is a type of antigen-binding molecule as defined herein. In general, an intact antibody will comprise at least two complete heavy chains and two complete light chains, but in some cases, it may include fewer chains, such as natural antibodies in camelids, which may comprise only heavy chains. Antibodies may be derived from a single source or may be chimeric, that is, different portions of the antibody may be derived from two different antibodies, as will be described in more detail later.Antigen-binding molecules, antibodies, or binding fragments can be produced in hybridomas, by recombinant DNA techniques, or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. Unless otherwise stated, the term “antibody” includes, in addition to antibodies comprising two full-length heavy chains and two full-length light chains, derivatives, variants, fragments, and mutations thereof, examples of which are described later.Furthermore, unless explicitly excluded, antibodies include monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, minibodies, antibody domains, synthetic antibodies (sometimes referred to herein as “antibody mimetics”), chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, antibody fusions (sometimes referred to herein as “antibody conjugates”), and fragments thereof, respectively. Variable regions typically exhibit the same general structure of relatively conserved frame regions (FRs) linked by the three hypervariable regions (i.e., “CDRs”). The CDRs of the two strands in each pair are typically aligned by the frame regions, which can enable binding to a specific epitope. From the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus, the variable regions of the light and heavy chains typically comprise the domains FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. By convention, the CDRs in the heavy chain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 HC. The CDRs in the light chain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 LC. The assignment of amino acids to each domain is typically in accordance with the definitions of Kabat {Seqs of Proteins of Immunological Interest (NIH, Bethesda, MD (1987 and 1991)) or of Chothia (J. Mol. Bio!., 196: 901-917 (1987); Chothia et al., Nature, 342: 878-883 (1989)).Several analytical methods can be used to identify or approximate CDR regions, including not only Kabat or Chothia, but also the AbM definition. The term “light chain” includes a complete light chain and fragments thereof that have sufficient variable region sequence to confer binding specificity. A complete light chain includes a variable region domain, Vl, and a constant region domain, Cl. The variable region domain of the light chain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide. Light chains include kappa and lambda chains. The term “heavy chain” includes a complete heavy chain and fragments thereof that have sufficient variable region sequence to confer binding specificity. A complete heavy chain includes one variable region domain, VH, and three constant region domains, CH1, CH2, and CH3. The VH domain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide, and the CH domains are located at the carboxyl terminus, with CH3 being the closest to the carboxyl terminus. Heavy chains can be of any isotype, including IgG (including subtypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) and IgA (including subtypes IgA1 and IgA2), IgM, and IgE. The term “variable region” or “variable domain” refers to a portion of the light and / or heavy chains of an antibody, typically including approximately 120 to 130 amino-terminal amino acids of the heavy chain and approximately 100 to 110 amino-terminal amino acids of the light chain. The variable region of an antibody typically determines the specificity of a particular antibody for its target. Variability is not evenly distributed across all antibody variable domains; it is concentrated in subdomains of each of the heavy and light chain variable regions. These subdomains are called “hypervariable regions” or “complementarity-determining regions” (CDRs). The more conserved (i.e., non-hypervariable) portions of the variable domains are known as “framework” regions (FRMs or FRs) and provide a scaffold for the six CDRs in three-dimensional space to form an antigen-binding surface. The natural heavy and light chain variable domains each comprise four FRMs (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4), which mostly adopt a β-sheet configuration, linked by three hypervariable regions, which form loops that connect, and in some cases are part of, the β-sheet structure.The hypervariable regions of each chain are held very close to each other by the FRM and, together with the hypervariable regions of the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site (see Kabat et al., loe. cit.). The terms “CDRs” and their plural form “CDRs” refer to the complementarity-determining region, of which three constitute the binding character of a variable region of the light chain (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, and CDR-L3) and three constitute the binding character of a variable region of the heavy chain (CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3). CDRs contain most of the residues responsible for the specific interactions of the antibody with the antigen and thus contribute to the functional activity of an antibody molecule: they are the main determinants of antigen specificity. The exact boundaries and lengths that define CDRs are subject to different classification and numbering systems. Therefore, CDRs can be referred to using the Kabat, Chothia, contact, or any other boundary definition, including the numbering system described herein. Despite the different boundaries, each of these systems exhibits some degree of overlap in what constitute the so-called “hypervariable regions” within variable sequences. CDR definitions according to these systems may thus differ in terms of boundary length and area relative to the adjacent frame region. See, for example, Kabat (an approach based on interspecies variability), Chothia (an approach based on crystallographic studies of antigen-antibody complexes), and / or MacCallum (Kabat et al., ibid., Chothia et al., J. Mol.Biol, 1987, 196: 901-917; and MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol, 1996, 262: 732). Yet another standard for characterizing the antigen-binding site is the AbM definition used by the Oxford Molecular AbM antibody modeling software. See, for example, 'Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains', in: Antibody Engineering Lab Manual (Ed.: Duebel, S. and Kontermann, R., SpringerVerlag, Heidelberg). To the extent that two residue identification techniques define overlapping, but not identical, regions, they can be combined to define a hybrid CDR. However, numbering according to the Kabat system is preferred. Typically, CDRs form a loop structure that can be classified as a canonical structure. The term “canonical structure” refers to the main chain conformation adopted by antigen-binding loops (CDRs). From comparative structural studies, five of the six antigen-binding loops have been found to have only a limited repertoire of available conformations. Each canonical structure can be characterized by the twist angles of the polypeptide backbone. Loops between corresponding antibodies can then have very similar three-dimensional structures, despite the high variability of amino acid sequences in most loops (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol., 1987, 196: 901; Chothia et al., Nature, 1989, 342: 877; Martin and Thornton, J. Mol. Biol., 1996, 263: 800). Furthermore, there is a relationship between the structure adopted by the loop and the amino acid sequences that surround it.The composition of a particular canonical class is determined by the loop length and the amino acid residues residing in key positions within the loop, as well as within the conserved frame (i.e., outside the loop). Therefore, assignment to a particular canonical class can be made based on the presence of these key amino acid residues. The term “canonical structure” may also include considerations regarding the linear sequence of the antibody, for example, according to Kabat (Kabat et al., loe. cit.). The Kabat numbering scheme (system) is a widely adopted standard for numbering the amino acid residues of a variable domain of an antibody in a consistent manner and is the preferred scheme applied in the present invention, as also mentioned elsewhere herein. Additional structural considerations may also be used to determine the canonical structure of an antibody. For example, differences not fully reflected by the Kabat numbering may be described by the Chothia et al. numbering system and / or revealed by other techniques, such as crystallography and two- or three-dimensional computer modeling.Therefore, a given antibody sequence can be assigned to a canonical class, allowing, among other things, the identification of appropriate sequences (for example, based on the desire to include a variety of canonical structures in a library). The Kabat numbering of antibody amino acid sequences and the structural considerations described by Chothia et al., cited above, and their implications for interpreting canonical aspects of antibody structure, are described in the literature. The subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations of the different immunoglobulin classes are well known. For a review of antibody structure, see Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Coid Spring Harbor Laboratory, eds. Harlow et al., 1988. The CDR3 of the light chain, and particularly the CDR3 of the heavy chain, may be the most important determinants of antigen binding within the variable regions of the light and heavy chains. In some antibody constructs, the CDR3 of the heavy chain appears to be the main contact area between the antigen and the antibody. In vitro selection schemes, in which only the CDR3 is varied, can be used to alter the binding properties of an antibody or to determine which residues contribute to antigen binding. Therefore, the CDR3 is typically the greatest source of molecular diversity within the antibody binding site. For example, H3 can be as short as two amino acid residues or as long as 26 amino acids. The term “neutralization” refers to an antigen-binding molecule, scFv or antibody, respectively, that binds to a ligand and prevents or reduces the biological effect of that ligand. This can be accomplished, for example, by directly blocking a binding site on the ligand or by binding to the ligand and indirectly altering the ligand's ability to bind (such as through structural or energetic alterations in the ligand). In some embodiments, the term can also refer to an antigen-binding molecule that prevents the protein to which it is bound from performing a biological function. The term “target” or “antigen” refers to a molecule or a portion of a molecule capable of binding to an antigen-binding molecule. In certain embodiments, a target may have one or more epitopes. The term “compete,” when used in the context of antigen-binding molecules competing for the same epitope, refers to competition between antigen-binding molecules as determined by an assay in which the antigen-binding molecule (e.g., an antibody or an immunologically functional fragment thereof) being evaluated prevents or inhibits (e.g., reduces) the specific binding of a reference antigen-binding molecule to an antigen. Numerous types of competitive binding assays can be used to determine whether one antigen-binding molecule competes with another, e.g., a direct or indirect solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA), a direct or indirect solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), a sandwich competition assay (Stahli et al., 1983, Methods in Enzymology 9: 242-253). a direct solid-phase EIA with biotin-avidin (Kirkland et al., 1986, J. Immunol.137: 3614-3619), a direct labeled solid-phase assay, a direct labeled solid-phase sandwich assay (Harlow and Lane, 1988, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press); a direct solid-phase RIA using a 1-125 label (Morel et al., 1988, Molec. Immunol. 25: 7-15); a direct solid-phase EIA with biotin-avidin (Cheung, et al., 1990, Virology 176: 546-552); and a direct labeled RIA (Moldenhauer et al., 1990, Scand. J. Immunol. 32: 77-82). The term “epitope” includes any determinant capable of binding to an antigen-binding molecule, such as an scFv, an antibody, or an immune cell of the invention. An epitope is a region of an antigen that binds to an antigen-binding molecule directed to that antigen, and when the antigen is a protein, it includes specific amino acids that are in direct contact with the antigen-binding molecule. As used herein, the terms “mark” or “marking” refer to the incorporation of a detectable mark, for example, the incorporation of a radiolabeled amino acid or the attachment to a polypeptide of biotin units that can be detected with labeled avidin (e.g., streptavidin containing a fluorescent marker or enzymatic activity that can be detected by optical or colorimetric methods). In certain embodiments, the mark or marker may also be therapeutic. Various methods for marking polypeptides and glycoproteins are known in the art. According to the invention, the present invention may incorporate on-off control switching techniques or other types of control switching techniques. These techniques may employ the use of dimerization domains and optional activators of such domain dimerization. These techniques include, for example, those described by Wu et al., Science 2014 350 (6258) using FKBP / Rapalog dimerization systems in some cells, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Additional dimerization technology is described, for example, in Fegan et al., Chem. Rev. 2010, 110, 3315-3336, as well as in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,830,462; 5,834,266; 5,869,337; and 6,165,787, whose contents are also fully incorporated herein by reference.Additional dimerization pairs may include cyclosporine-A / cyclophilin receptor, estrogen / estrogen receptor (optionally using tamoxifen), glucocorticoid / glucocorticoid receptor, tetracycline / tetracycline receptor, and vitamin D / vitamin D receptor. Other examples of dimerization technology can be found, for example, in WO 2014 / 127261, WO 2015 / 090229, US 2014 / 0286987, US 2015 / 0266973, US 2016 / 0046700, US Patent No. 8,486,693, US 2014 / 0171649, and US 2012 / 0130076, the contents of which are also incorporated herein in full by reference. TREATMENT METHODS Native T cells can be (i) removed from a patient, (ii) genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to at least one tumor antigen, (iii) expanded ex vivo to form a larger population of modified T cells, and (iv) reintroduced into the patient using adoptive immunotherapy. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,741,465 and 6,319,494, Eshhar et al. (Cancer Immunol., supra), Krause et al. (supra), and Finney et al. (supra). After reintroduction into the patient, the modified T cells can mediate an immune response against cells expressing the tumor antigen. See, for example, Krause et al., J. Exp. Med., Vol. 188, No. 4, 1998 (619–626). This immune response includes the secretion of IL-2 and other cytokines by T cells, clonal expansion of T cells that recognize the tumor antigen, and T cell-mediated specific killing of target-positive cells.See Hombach et al., Journal of Immun., 167: 6123-6131 (2001). Therefore, in some respects the invention comprises a method for treating or preventing a condition associated with undesirable and / or elevated levels of DLL3 in a patient, comprising administering to a patient in need an effective amount of at least one isolated antigen-binding molecule, CAR or TCR disclosed herein. Methods are provided for treating diseases or disorders, including cancer. In some embodiments, the invention relates to creating a T-cell-mediated immune response in a subject, comprising administering to said subject an effective quantity of the modified immune cells of the present application. In some embodiments, the T-cell-mediated immune response is directed against one or more target cells. In some embodiments, the modified immune cell comprises a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T-cell receptor (TCR). In some embodiments, the target cell is a tumor cell. In some aspects, the invention comprises a method for treating or preventing a malignant condition, wherein said method comprises administering to a subject in need an effective quantity of at least one isolated antigen-binding molecule described herein.In some respects, the invention comprises a method for treating or preventing a malignant form, wherein said method comprises administering to a subject in need an effective amount of at least one immune cell, wherein said immune cell comprises at least one chimeric antigen receptor, a T cell receptor and / or an isolated antigen-binding molecule as described herein. In some aspects, the invention comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one antigen-binding molecule described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises an additional active agent. The antigen-binding molecules, CARs, TCRs, immune cells, and the like of the invention can be used to treat myeloid diseases including, but not limited to, adrenal, liver, kidney, bladder, breast, gastric, ovarian, cervical, uterine, esophageal, colorectal, prostate (e.g., prostate adenocarcinoma), pancreatic, lung (both small cell and non-small cell), thyroid, carcinomas, sarcomas, glioblastomas, head and neck tumors, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), medullary thyroid cancer, glioblastoma, neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEO), high-grade gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) cancer, and malignant melanoma. It will be observed that the target doses for CAR+ / CAR-T7 TCR+ cells can vary within a range of 1 x 10⁶ to 2 x 10¹⁰ cells / kg, preferably 2 x 10¹⁰ cells / kg more preferably. It will be observed that doses above and below this range may be appropriate for certain subjects, and a healthcare professional may determine the appropriate dose levels as needed. Additionally, multiple cell doses can be provided according to the invention. Methods are also provided for reducing the size of a tumor in a subject, comprising administering a modified cell of the present invention to the subject, wherein the cell comprises a chimeric antigen receptor, a T-cell receptor, or a chimeric antigen receptor based on a T-cell receptor comprising an antigen-binding molecule that binds to an antigen on the tumor. In some embodiments, the subject has a solid tumor or a malignant blood cancer, such as lymphoma or leukemia. In some embodiments, the modified cell is delivered to a tumor bed. In some embodiments, the cancer is present in the subject's bone marrow. In some embodiments, the modified cells are autologous T cells. In some embodiments, the modified cells are allogeneic T cells. In some embodiments, the modified cells are heterologous T cells. In some embodiments, the modified cells of this application are transfected or transduced in vivo. In other embodiments, the modified cells are transfected or transduced ex vivo. The methods may also include administering one or more chemotherapeutic agents. In certain embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agent is a lymphocyte-reducing chemotherapeutic (preconditioner). Beneficial preconditioning treatment regimens, along with correlative beneficial biomarkers, are described in U.S. Provisional Patent Applications Nos. 62 / 262,143 and 62 / 167,750, which are incorporated herein in full by reference. For example, methods are described for conditioning a patient requiring T-cell therapy, comprising administering to the patient specific beneficial doses of cyclophosphamide (between 200 mg / m² / day and 2000 mg / m² / day) and specific doses of fludarabine (between 20 mg / m² / day and 900 mg / m² / day).A preferred dosing regimen comprises treating a patient by administering approximately 500 mg / m2 / day of cyclophosphamide and approximately 60 mg / m2 / day of fludarabine daily for three days prior to administering a therapeutically effective amount of modified T cells to the patient.

METHODS OF PREPARATION A variety of known techniques can be used in the preparation of the polynucleotides, polypeptides, vectors, antigen-binding molecules, immune cells, compositions and the like according to the invention. Prior to the in vitro manipulation or genetic modification of the immune cells described herein, cells may be obtained from a subject. In some embodiments, the immune cells comprise T cells. T cells may be obtained from numerous sources, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), bone marrow, lymph node tissue, umbilical cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from an infection site, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors. In certain embodiments, T cells may be obtained from a unit of blood collected from the subject using any of numerous techniques known to the practitioner, such as FICOLL™ separation. Preferably, the cells may be obtained from an individual's circulating blood by apheresis.The product of apheresis typically contains lymphocytes, including T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, other nucleated white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In certain embodiments, the cells collected by apheresis can be washed to remove the plasma fraction and placed in a buffer solution or medium appropriate for subsequent processing. The cells can be washed with PBS. As can be seen, a washing step can be employed, such as using a semi-automated flow centrifuge—for example, the Cobe™ 2991 Cell Processor, the Baxter CytoMate™, or similar systems. After washing, the cells can be resuspended in a variety of biocompatible buffer solutions, or other saline solution with or without buffer. In certain embodiments, unwanted components can be removed from the apheresis sample. In certain embodiments, T cells are isolated from PBMCs by lysing red blood cells and exhausting monocytes, for example, using centrifugation through a PERCOLL™ gradient. A specific T cell subpopulation, such as CD28+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RA+, and CD45RO+ T cells, can be further isolated using positive or negative selection techniques known to the art. For example, enrichment of a T cell population by negative selection can be achieved with a combination of antibodies targeting surface markers unique to negatively selected cells. One useful method here is cell separation and / or selection by negative magnetic immunoadherence or flow cytometry, which employs a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies targeting cell surface markers present on negatively selected cells.For example, for CD4+ cell enrichment by negative selection, the monoclonal antibody cocktail typically includes antibodies against CD14, CD20, CD11b, CD16, HLA-DR, and CD8. Flow cytometry and cell separation can also be used to isolate cell populations of interest that are useful in the present invention. PBMCs can be used directly for genetic modification of immune cells (such as CAR or TCR cells) using the methods described herein. In certain embodiments, after isolating the PBMCs, T lymphocytes can be further isolated, and cytotoxic and helper T lymphocytes can be separated into previously unexposed, memory, and effector T cell subpopulations, either before or after genetic modification and / or expansion. ccyni n / nznz / E / YiAi In some embodiments, CD8+ cells are also separated into previously unexposed, central memory, and effector cells by identifying the cell surface antigens associated with each of these CD8+ cell types. In some embodiments, the expression of phenotypic markers of central memory T cells includes CD45RO, CD62L, CCR7, CD28, CD3, and CD127, and they are negative for granzyme B. In some embodiments, central memory T cells are CD45RO+, CD62L+, and CD8+. In some embodiments, effector T cells are negative for CD62L, CCR7, CD28, and CD127, and positive for granzyme B and perforin. In certain embodiments, CD4+ T cells are also separated into subpopulations.For example, CD4+ helper T cells can be separated into previously unexposed, central memory, and effector cells by identifying cell populations that present antigens on the cell surface. Immune cells, such as T cells, can be genetically modified after isolation using known methods, or immune cells can be activated and expanded (or differentiated in the case of progenitor cells) in vitro before being genetically modified. In another embodiment, immune cells, such as T cells, are genetically modified with the chimeric antigen receptors described herein (e.g., they are transduced with a viral vector comprising one or more nucleotide sequences encoding a CAR) and then activated and / or expanded in vitro. Methods for activating and expanding T cells are known in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 6,905,874; U.S. Patent No. 6,867,041; and U.S. Patent No. 6,797,514. and in PCT WO2012 / 079000, the contents of which are incorporated herein in full by way of reference.In general, these methods involve placing PBMCs or isolated T cells in contact with a stimulating and a costimulatory agent, such as anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies, usually bound to a bead or other surface, in a culture medium containing appropriate cytokines, such as IL-2. The anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies bound to the same bead serve as a surrogate antigen-presenting cell (APC). One example is the Dynabeads® system, a CD3 / CD28 activator / stimulator system for the physiological activation of human T cells. In other embodiments, T cells can be activated and stimulated to proliferate with nutrient cells and appropriate antibodies and cytokines using methods such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 6,040,177; U.S. Patent No. 5,827,642; and WO2012129514, the contents of which are incorporated herein in full by reference. Some methods for preparing the constructs and modified immune cells of the invention are described in PCT Application PCT / US15 / 14520, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Other methods for preparing the constructs and cells can be found in US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 244036, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. It will be noted that PBMCs can also include other cytotoxic lymphocytes, such as NK cells or NK-T cells. An expression vector comprising the coding sequence of a chimeric receptor disclosed herein can be introduced into a population of donor human T cells, NK cells, or NK-T cells. Successfully transduced T cells comprising the expression vector can be separated using flow cytometry to isolate CD3-positive T cells and then propagated to increase the number of these CAR-expressing T cells. This can be further enhanced by cell activation using anti-CD3 and IL-2 antibodies or other methods known in the art and described elsewhere herein. Standard procedures are employed for the cryopreservation of CAR-expressing T cells for storage and / or preparation prior to use in a human subject.In one embodiment, the transduction, culture and / or expansion of T cells in vitro are carried out in the absence of products derived from a non-human animal, such as fetal calf serum and fetal bovine serum. For polynucleotide cloning, the vector can be introduced into a host cell (an isolated host cell) to allow replication of the vector itself and thus amplify the copies of the polynucleotide it contains. Cloning vectors can contain sequence components that generally include, but are not limited to, an origin of replication, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, and selectable markers. These elements can be selected, as needed, by a specialist in the field. For example, the origin of replication can be selected to promote autonomous replication of the vector in the host cell. In certain embodiments, this disclosure provides isolated host cells containing the vector provided herein. The vector-containing host cells may be useful in the expression or cloning of the polynucleotide contained in the vector. Suitable host cells may include, but are not limited to, prokaryotic cells, fungal cells, yeast cells, or higher eukaryotic cells, such as mammalian cells. Prokaryotic cells suitable for this purpose include, in a non-limiting sense, eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for example, Enterobacteriaceae such as Escheríchia, for example, E. coli, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, for example, Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia, for example, Serratia marcescans and Shigella, as well as Bacilli such as B. subtilis and B. licheniformis, Pseudomonas such as P. aeruginosa and with ι η / ηζηζ / Ε / νίΛΐ Streptomyces. The vector can be introduced into the host cell using any of the suitable methods known in the art, including, but not limited to, DEAE-dextran-mediated delivery, the calcium phosphate precipitation method, cationic lipid-mediated delivery, liposome-mediated transfection, electroporation, microprojectile bombardment, receptor-mediated gene delivery, and delivery via polylysine, histone, chitosan, and peptides. Standard methods for transfecting and transforming cells for the expression of a vector of interest are well known in the art. In a further embodiment, a mixture of different expression vectors can be used in the genetic modification of a donor population of effector immune cells, wherein each vector encodes a different CAR as disclosed herein.The resulting transduced effector immune cells form a mixed population of modified cells, with a ratio of the modified cells expressing more than one different CAR. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for storing genetically modified cells expressing CARs or TCRs targeting the DLL3 protein. This comprises cryopreserving the immune cells in such a way that the cells remain viable after thawing. A fraction of the CAR-expressing immune cells can be cryopreserved using methods known in the art to provide a permanent source of such cells for the future treatment of patients with a malignant form of the disease. When required, the cryopreserved transformed immune cells can be thawed, grown, and expanded to obtain more of these cells. As used herein, the term “cryopreserve” refers to the preservation of cells by cooling to sub-zero temperatures, such as (typically) 77 Kelvin or -196°C (the boiling point of liquid nitrogen). Cryoprotective agents are often used at sub-zero temperatures to preserve cells against damage due to freezing at low temperatures or warming to room temperature. Cryopreservative agents and optimal cooling rates can offer protection against cell injury. Cryoprotective agents that may be used according to the invention include, but are not limited to: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Lovelock & Bishop, Nature (1959); 183: 1394-1395; Ashwood-Smith, Nature (1961); 190: 1204-1205), glycerol, polyvinylpyrrolidone (Rinfret, Ann. NY Acad. Sci. (1960); 85: 576) and polyethylene glycol (Sloviter & Ravdin, Nature (1962); 196: 48).The preferred cooling rate is 1-3eC / minute. The term “substantially pure” is used to indicate that a given component is present at a high level. Preferably, the component is the predominant component present in a composition. Preferably, it is present at a level of more than 30%, more than 50%, more than 75%, more than 90%, or even more than 95%, where such level is determined on a dry weight / dry weight basis with respect to the total composition under consideration. At very high levels (e.g., levels of more than 90%, more than 95%, or more than 99%), the component may be considered to be in a “pure form.” The biologically active substances of the present invention (including polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules, antigen-binding molecules, and portions) may be provided in a form that is substantially free from one or more contaminants with which the substance would otherwise be associated.When a composition is substantially free of a given contaminant, that contaminant will be found at a low level (e.g., at a level of less than 10%, less than 5%, or less than 1% on a dry weight / dry weight basis as indicated above). In some embodiments, cells are first prepared by harvesting them from their culture medium and then washing and concentrating them in a suitable medium and container system for administration (a “pharmaceutically acceptable” vehicle) in an amount effective for treatment. Suitable infusion media may comprise any formulation of an isotonic medium, typically normal saline, Normosol™ R (Abbott), or Plasma-Lyte™ A (Baxter), but 5% dextrose in water or Ringer’s lactate may also be used. The infusion medium may be supplemented with human serum albumin. The desired treatment quantities of cells present in the composition are generally at least 2 cells (e.g., at least 1 subset of CD8+ core memory T cells and at least 1 subset of CD4+ helper T cells) or more, typically more than 10² cells and up to 10⁶, up to and including 10⁸ or 10⁹ cells, and may be more than 10¹⁰ cells. The number of cells will depend on the intended use of the composition and the type of cells included. The desired cell density is typically greater than 10⁶ cells / ml and generally greater than 10⁷ cells / ml, usually 10⁸ cells / ml or higher. The clinically relevant number of immune cells can be distributed in multiple infusions that cumulatively are equal to or exceed 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 1010, 1011 or 1012 cells.In some aspects of the present invention, particularly since all infused cells will be redirected to a specific target antigen (DLL3), a smaller number of cells can be administered, in the range of 10⁶ / kilogram (10⁶-10¹¹ per patient). CAR T-cell therapies can be administered multiple times at dosages within these ranges. The cells can be autologous, allogeneic, or heterologous to the patient receiving the therapy. The CAR-expressing cell populations of the present invention can be administered either alone or as a pharmaceutical composition in combination with diluents and / or other components such as IL-2 or other cytokines or cell populations. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may comprise a CAR- or TCR-expressing cell population, such as T cells, as described herein, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically or physiologically acceptable vehicles, diluents, or excipients. Such compositions may comprise buffer solutions such as a neutral saline buffer, a phosphate saline buffer, and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose, or dextrans, mannitol; proteins; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; antioxidants; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and preservatives.The compositions of the present invention are preferably formulated for intravenous administration. Pharmaceutical compositions (solutions, suspensions, or the like) may include one or more of the following: sterile diluents such as water for injection, saline solution (preferably physiological saline), Ringer's solution, isotonic sodium chloride, modified oils such as synthetic mono- or diglycerides, which may serve as a solvent or as a suspension medium, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffer solutions such as acetates, citrates, or phosphate; and tonicity-adjusting agents such as dextrose or sodium chloride. The parenteral preparation may be contained in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multidose vials, made of either plastic or glass.An injectable pharmaceutical composition is preferably sterile. It will be seen that it is possible to minimize adverse events by transducing immune cells (containing one or more CARs or TCRs) with a suicide gene. It may also be desirable to incorporate an inducible “activator” or “accelerator” switch into the immune cells. Suitable techniques include the use of an inducible caspase (U.S. Patent Application No. 2011 / 0286980) or thymidine kinase, before, after, or at the same time as transducing the cells with the CAR construct of the present invention. Other methods for introducing suicide genes and / or “activated” switches include TALEN, zinc fingers, RNAi, RNAsi, hsRNA, antisense technology, and other techniques known in the art. It is understood that the descriptions herein are provided for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to be a restrictive interpretation of the claimed invention. In this application, the singular includes the plural unless specifically defined otherwise. The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and should not be considered as limiting the subject matter described. All documents, or portions thereof, cited in the application, including, but not limited to, patents, patent applications, articles, books, and treatises, are expressly and fully incorporated herein by reference. As used in accordance with this description, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings set forth below: In this application, the use of “or” means “and / or” unless otherwise stated. Furthermore, the use of the term “including,” as well as other forms such as “includes” and “included,” is not limiting. Additionally, terms such as “element” or “component” encompass elements and components that constitute a unit, and elements and components that comprise more than one subunit, unless specifically stated otherwise. The term “DLL3 activity” includes any biological effect of DLL3. In certain embodiments, DLL3 activity includes the ability of DLL3 to interact with or bind to a substrate or receptor. The term “polynucleotide,” “nucleotide,” or “nucleic acid” encompasses polymers of single- or double-stranded nucleotides. The nucleotides comprising the polynucleotide may be ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides, or a modified form of any type of nucleotide. These modifications include base modifications, such as bromouridine and inosine derivatives; ribose modifications, such as 2',3'-dideoxyribose; and modifications of the bonds between nucleotides, such as phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, phosphorosenate, phosphorodisenate, phosphoranilothioate, phosphoranylate, and phosphoramidate. The term “oligonucleotide” refers to a polynucleotide comprising 200 nucleotides or fewer. Oligonucleotides can be single-stranded or double-stranded, for example, for use in constructing a mutating gene. Oligonucleotides can be frame-sense or antisense. An oligonucleotide may include a label, such as a radiolabel, fluorescent label, hapten, or antigenic label, for screening assays. Oligonucleotides can be used, for example, as POR primers, cloning primers, or hybridization probes. The term “control sequence” refers to a polynucleotide sequence that can affect the expression and processing of the coding sequences to which it is bound. The nature of these control sequences can depend on the host organism. In particular embodiments, control sequences for prokaryotes may include a promoter, a ribosome binding site, and a transcription termination sequence. For example, control sequences for eukaryotes may include promoters comprising one or more recognition sites for transcription factors, transcription enhancer sequences, and transcription termination sequences. “Control sequences” may also include guide sequences (signal peptides) and / or fusion member sequences. As used herein, the term “operationally linked” means that the components covered by the term are in a relationship that enables them to perform their inherent functions under appropriate conditions. The term “vector” refers to any molecule or entity (e.g., nucleic acid, plasmid, bacteriophage, or virus) used to transfer protein-coding information into a host cell. The term “expression vector” or “expression construct” refers to a vector that is suitable for transforming a host cell and contains nucleic acid sequences that direct and / or control (in conjunction with the host cell) the expression of one or more operatively joined heterologous coding regions. An expression construct may include, but is not limited to, sequences that affect or control the expression, translation, and, if introns are present, the cleavage of RNA from an operatively joined coding region. The term “host cell” refers to a cell that has been transformed, or can be transformed, with a nucleic acid sequence, thereby expressing a gene of interest. The term includes the progeny of the parent cell, whether or not such progeny has a morphology or genetic composition identical to that of the original parent cell, as long as the gene of interest is present. The term “transformation” refers to a change in the genetic characteristics of cells, and a cell is transformed when it has been modified to contain new DNA or RNA. For example, a cell is transformed when it has been genetically modified from its native state by the introduction of new genetic material through transfection, transduction, or other procedures. After transfection or transduction, the transforming DNA may recombine with the cell's DNA, physically integrating into a chromosome; it may remain transiently as an episomal element without replicating; or it may replicate independently as a plasmid. A cell is considered “stably transformed” when the transforming DNA replicates upon cell division. The term “transfection” refers to the uptake of foreign or exogenous DNA by a cell. Numerous transformation procedures are known in the art, and these are described herein. See, for example, Graham et al., 1973, Virology 52: 456; Sambrook et al., 2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, supra; Davis et al., 1986, Basic Methods in Molecular Biology, Elsevier; Chu et al., 1981, Gene 13: 197. The term “transduction” refers to the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by means of a viral vector.

The term “polypeptide fragment” refers to a polypeptide that has an amino-terminal deletion, a carboxy-terminal deletion, and / or an internal deletion, compared to the full-length native protein. These fragments may also contain modified amino acids compared to the native protein. Useful polypeptide fragments include immunologically functional fragments of antigen-binding molecules.The fragments that are useful include, but are not limited to, one or more CDR regions, variable domains of a heavy and / or light chain, a portion of other portions of an antibody chain, and the like. The term “isolated” means that (i) it is free from at least some other proteins with which it would normally be found, (ii) it is essentially free from other proteins of the same source, e.g., of the same species, (iii) it is separated from at least approximately 50 percent of polynucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, or other materials with which it is associated in nature, (iv) it is operatively associated (by a covalent or non-covalent interaction) with a polypeptide with which it is not associated in nature, or (v) it does not occur in nature. A “variant” of a polypeptide (e.g., an antigen-binding molecule or an antibody) comprises an amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acid residues have been inserted, deleted, and / or replaced, compared to another polypeptide sequence. Variants include fusion proteins. The term “identity” refers to a relationship between the sequences of two or more polypeptide molecules, or two or more nucleic acid molecules, determined by aligning and comparing the sequences. The “percentage of identity” refers to the percentage of identical residues among the amino acids or nucleotides in the compared molecules, and is calculated based on the size of the smallest molecule being compared. For these calculations, any mismatches in the alignments are preferably addressed using a specific model or computer program (i.e., an “algorithm”). To calculate the percent identity, the sequences to be compared are aligned in a way that provides the greatest match between the sequences. An example of a computer program for determining the percent identity is the set of programs ccyni n / nznz / E / YiAi GCG, which includes GAP (Devereux et al., 1984, Nuci. Acid Res., 12: 387; Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.). The GAP computer algorithm is used to align two polypeptides or polynucleotides whose percentage sequence identity is to be determined. The sequences are aligned to obtain an optimal match of their respective amino acids or nucleotides (the “extent of match” determined by the algorithm). In certain implementations, the algorithm also employs a conventional comparison matrix (see Dayhoff et al., 1978, Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure 5: 345-352 regarding the PAM 250 comparison matrix; Henikoff et al., 1992, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sel. USA 89: 10915-10919 regarding the BLOSUM 62 comparison matrix). As used herein, the twenty conventional (e.g., natural) amino acids and their abbreviations are used according to conventional usage. See Immunology - A Synthesis (2nd Edition, Golub and Gren, Eds., Sinauer Assoc., Sunderland, Mass. (1991)), incorporated herein for all purposes by reference. Stereoisomers (e.g., D-amino acids) of the twenty conventional amino acids, non-natural amino acids such as alpha-disubstituted amino acids, N-alkyl amino acids, lactic acid, and other non-conventional amino acids may also be suitable building blocks for the polypeptides of the present invention. Examples of non-conventional amino acids include: 4-hydroxyproline, gamma-carboxyglutamate, epsilon-N,N,N-trimethylserine, e-N-acetyllysine, O-phosphoserine, N-acetylserine, N-formylmethionine, 3-methylhistidine, 5-hydroxylysine, sigma-N-methylarginine, and other similar amino acids and imino acids (e.g., 4-hydroxyproline).In the polypeptide notation used herein, the leftward direction is the amino-terminal direction and the rightward direction is the carboxy-terminal direction, in accordance with convention and standard usage. Conservative amino acid substitutions can encompass non-natural amino acid residues, which are typically incorporated through chemical peptide synthesis rather than synthesis in biological systems. These include peptidomimetics and other reversed or inverted forms of amino acid groups. Natural residues can be divided into classes based on common side-chain properties: a) hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, lie; b) Neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln; c) Acids: Asp, Glu; d) Basics: His, Lys, Arg; e) Residues that affect chain orientation: Gly, Pro; and f) aromatics: Trp, Tyr, Phe. For example, non-conservative substitutions may involve the exchange of a member of one of the above classes for a member of another class. Such substituted residues can be introduced, for example, into regions of the antibody that are homologous to non-human antibodies or into non-homologous regions of the molecule. By modifying the antigen-binding molecule, the costimulatory or activating domains of the modified T cell, according to certain embodiments, can be considered the hydropathic index of the amino acids. Each amino acid has been assigned a hydropathic index based on its hydrophobicity and charge characteristics. These are: isoleucine (+4.5); valine (+4.2); leucine (+3.8); phenylalanine (+2.8); cysteine / cystine (+2.5); methionine (+1.9); alanine (+1.8); glycine (-0.4); threonine (-0.7); serine (0.8); tryptophan (-0.9); tyrosine (-1.3); proline (-1.6); histidine (-3.2); glutamate (-3.5); glutamine (-3.5); aspartate (-3.5); asparagine (-3.5); Usinine (-3.9) and arginine (-4.5). See Kyte et al., J. Mol. Biol., 157: 105-131 (1982). It is also known that it is possible to substitute certain amino acids with other amino acids that have a similar hydropathic index or rating and still retain similar biological activity.It is also known in the art that the substitution of identical amino acids can be effectively achieved on the basis of hydrophilicity, particularly when the biologically functional protein or peptide thus created is intended for use in immunological formulations, as in the present case. Examples of amino acid substitutions are shown in Table 2.

In certain embodiments, derivatives comprise covalent modifications, including, but not limited to, chemical linkage with polymers, lipids, or other organic or inorganic units. In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding molecule that has undergone a chemical modification may have a longer circulating half-life than an antigen-binding molecule that has not undergone a chemical modification. In some embodiments, a derivative of an antigen-binding molecule has been covalently modified to include one or more water-soluble bonded polymers, including, but not limited to, polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene glycol, or polypropylene glycol. Peptide analogues are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as non-peptide drugs with properties analogous to those of the template peptide. These types of non-peptide compounds are called “peptide mimetics” or “peptidomimetics.” Fauchere, J., Adv. Drug Res., 15: 29 (1986); Veber and Freidinger, TINS, page 392 (1985); and Evans et al., J. Med. Chem., 30: 1229 (1987), are incorporated herein for reference purposes. The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the quantity of a specific DLL3 antigen-binding molecule required to produce a therapeutic response in a mammal. A specialist in the field can readily determine such therapeutically effective amounts. The terms “patient” and “subject” are used interchangeably, and include human subjects and non-human animals, and also those with formally diagnosed disorders, those without formally diagnosed disorders, those receiving medical care, those at risk of developing disorders, etc. The terms “treat” and “treatment” include therapeutic treatments, prophylactic treatments, and applications that reduce the risk of an individual developing a disorder or other risk factor. Treatment does not require the complete cure of a disorder and encompasses methods that reduce symptoms or underlying risk factors. The term “prevent” does not require the complete elimination of the possibility of an event. Instead, it indicates that the likelihood of the event occurring has been reduced in the presence of the compound or method. Standard techniques for recombinant DNA, oligonucleotide synthesis, and tissue culture and transformation (e.g., electroporation, lipofection) can be used. Enzymatic reactions and purification procedures can be carried out according to suppliers' specifications, in ways known in the art, or as described herein. The techniques and procedures mentioned in general can be carried out according to conventional methods well known in the art and as described in various general and more specific references cited and described throughout this document.

However, the citation of a reference herein should not be construed as an acknowledgment that such reference constitutes prior art to the present invention. To the extent that any of the definitions or terms provided in the references incorporated by reference differ from the terms and description provided herein, the terms and definitions herein shall prevail. EQUIVALENTS The preceding written description is considered sufficient for a person skilled in the art to practice the invention. The preceding description and examples detail certain preferred embodiments of the invention and describe the best manner contemplated by the inventors. However, it should be noted that no matter how detailed the preceding text may appear, the invention can be practiced in many ways, and the invention should be considered with reference to the appended claims and any equivalents thereof. The following examples, including the experiments performed and the results obtained, are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered as limitations of the present invention. EXAMPLE 1 A third-generation lentiviral transfer vector containing the different CAR constructs was used along with the ViraPower lentiviral packaging mix (Life Technologies) to generate the lentiviral supernatants. Briefly, a transfection mixture was generated by mixing 15 pg of DNA and 22.5 µL of polyethyleneimine (Polysciences, 1 mg / ml) in 600 µL of OptiMEM medium. The mixture was incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature. Simultaneously, 293 T cells (ATCC) were trypsinized, counted, and a total of 10 x 10⁻⁶ cells were plated into a T75 flask along with the transfection mixture. Three days post-transfection, the supernatants were collected, filtered through a 0.45 µm filter, and stored at -80 °C until use. PBMCs were isolated from Leukopaks from healthy donors (Hemacare) using density centrifugation with Ficoll-Paque according to the supplier's instructions.PBMCs were stimulated using OKT3 (50 ng / ml, Miltenyi Biotec) in R10 + IL-2 medium (300 IU / ml, Proleukin®, Prometheus® Therapeutics and Diagnostics). Forty-eight hours after stimulation, cells were transduced using lentivirus at an MOI of 10. Cells were maintained at 0.5–2.0 x 10⁶ cells / ml prior to use in activity assays. To examine CAR expression, T cells were stained with either DLL3-Fc (Amgen, Inc.) or biotinylated Protein L (Thermo Scientific) in staining buffer (BD Pharmingen) for 30 minutes at 4°C. The cells were then washed and stained with anti-Fc-PE (Miltenyi Biotec) or PE streptavidin (BD Pharmingen) in staining buffer for 30 minutes at 4 °C. The cells were then washed and resuspended in propidium iodine staining buffer (BD Pharmingen) before data acquisition. CAR DLL3 expression in healthy donor T cells is shown in Figure 1.The numbers in each box indicate the percentage of the population that tested positive. EXAMPLE 2 To examine cytolytic activity in lentivirus-transduced CAR DLL3 T cells, effector cells were cultured with target cells at a 1:1 E:T ratio in R10 medium. At 16 and 40 hours post-culture, the supernatants were analyzed by Luminex (EMD Millipore), and target cell viability was assessed by flow cytometry analysis of propidium iodide (Pl) uptake by CD3ccjm n / nznz / E / YiAi-negative cells. The average cytolytic activity of lentivirus-transduced CAR T cells from healthy donors is shown in Figure 2 (EoL1 cells are control cells; H82 and EoL1DLL3 cells express DLL3 on their surface), and cytokine production by CAR T cells from a healthy donor is shown in Figure 3. EXAMPLES To assess CAR T cell proliferation in response to DLL3-expressing target cells, T cells were labeled with CFSE before co-culture with target cells at a 1:1 E:T ratio in R10 medium. Five days later, T cell proliferation was assessed by flow cytometry analysis of the CFSE dilution (Figure 4). DLL3 CAR T cell proliferation is shown in Figure 5. EXAMPLE 4 To examine antitumor activity in vivo, utility CAR DLL3 T cells were generated in a xenogeneic model of human SCLC. Luciferase-labeled SHP-77 cells (2 x 10⁶ / animal) were injected intravenously into 5- to 6-week-old female NSG mice. After 6 days, 6 x 10⁶ T cells (-50% CAR+) were injected intravenously in 200 μL of PBS, and the tumor burden of the animals was measured weekly using bioluminescence imaging. As shown in Figure 6, CAR DLL3 T cell injection significantly reduced tumor burden at all time points examined (nt = non-transfected control; CAR1 = 1 H2.1 Ό28T-ΰΟ28-ΰϋ3ζ; CAR2 = 1 H2.1C28T-4-1 ΒΒ-ΰϋ3ζ; CAR3 = 1 H2.1 Ό8K-Οϋ28-ΟΟ3ζ; CAR4 = 1H2.1-Ο8K-4-1ΒΒ-ΰϋ3ζ).As shown in Figure 6, this was also confirmed by a survival analysis, where injection of CAR T cells expressing 1H2-CD28T or 1 H2-4-1BB conferred a significant survival advantage over animals that received sham transduction cells. ccyni n / nznz / E / YiAi NOVELTY OF THE INVENTION Having described the present invention as above, it is considered novel and, therefore, the contents contained in the following are claimed as property:
