Description

MRNA THERAPEUTIC IN A LIPID DELIVERY WITH MULTIPLE TARGETING AGAINST CD19, CD20, AND / OR CD47CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 614,412, filed December 22, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 649,868, filed May 20, 2024, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for any and all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of immuno-oncology, especially the treatment of B cell lymphoma. Specifically, the disclosure relates to multi-specific antibodies that bind to CD 19, CD20, and / or CD47 for stimulating an immune response in a subject.BACKGROUND

[0003] B Cell Lymphoma (BCL) is a form of blood cancer that starts with B-cells (e.g., lymphocytes). The standard treatment for BCL usually starts with chemotherapy, surgery, or local radiation therapy. Beyond the standard, follow-up treatments include stem cell transplantation, or immunotherapy including, but not limited to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T-cell therapy) or targeted B-cell agents (e.g., monoclonal antibodies). While mono-specific antibodies are the primary therapeutic intervention used to treat BCL, targeting or neutralizing a single tumor antigen expressed on a BCL has not always been sufficient for effective treatment of BCL. Moreover, mono-specific antibody -based therapies have been proven to show toxicities due to broad target expression, or off-target effect, which limits their therapeutic effectiveness.

[0004] Accordingly, there exists a need for multi-specific antibodies and therapeutics with increased specificity and selectivity for multiple antigens expressed by tumor cells and / or multiple epitopes with a single tumor antigen. The present disclosure addresses this need.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The in house Rituximab (M23026) bounds higher than any tri-specific molecules with CD20-Fab as well aspurchased Rituximab. Anti-CD20 tri-specific molecules operably linked to SIRPα or scFv to the N-terminal of the heavy chain CD20-Fab (e.g., M23035, M23041, M23042 and M23046) resulted in reduced binding.

[0076] FIG. 6D shows the binding of anti-CD20 and anti-CD19chimeric scFv-Fc fusion molecules to Raji cells and shows variable binding results among S1826, S1806, S1820, S1827, S1807, and S1819.

[0077] FIG- 7 shows a workflow for the binding and occupation assays. The binding assay measures the binding of drug molecules to cells and the occupation assay measures available binding sites remaining after drug binding. The binding and occupation assays comprise 2-steps. Step 1 comprises coating cells with increasing concentration of drug of interest; and step 2 comprises staining cells with PE labeled anti-huFC (binding assay) or PE labeled SIRPα (occupation).

[0078] FIG. 8 shows a graph quantifying results of the occupancy assay and confirming target engagement by the multi-specific antibodies disclosed herein; and identifying M23042, SI 820, M23035, and S 1819 as showing weak binding (bold boxes), which is consistent with the Raji cell binding analysis shown in FIG. 4C. Most tri-specific antibodies bound their respective targets. Anti-CD20 arms of the tri-specific antibodies were more sensitive and lost binding in 5 designs (scFv or VL modified). M23036 and M23028 did not show binding to CD20. SIRPα binding was equal or superior to tetraval ent SIRPα regardless of valency.

[0079] FIGs. 9A-C show bar graphs quantifying the surface expression of CD 19 (FIG. 9A), CD20 (FIG. 9B), and CD47 (FIG. 9C) target antigens on primary B-cells, B-cell Lymphoma patient’s B-cells, and Raji cells. Specifically, the surface expression of CD19, CD20, and CD47 was high in Raji cells; the surface expression of CD19 and CD20 was very low in lymphoma cells (BCL) and primary B cells. The surface expression of CD47 was elevated (mod-range) in lymphoma cells (BCL) and primary B cells

[0080] FIGs. 10A-D show graphs demonstrating the cytotoxic effects of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies on Raji cells and Human PBMC. The percentage of dead Raji Cells (FIG. 10A), the percentage of normal B cell depletion (FIG. 10B), and the percentage ofnormal B cell count (FIG. IOC) showed that the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies effectively bound to and killed Raji cells and human PBMC. The binding of M23034 was higher than (>) M23032 > M23037 > M23045 > M23038 > M23033. Unexpectedly, two anti-CD20 tri- specific molecules (M23033 and M23038) showed slightly reduced binding. Table 6 shows the EC50and EC90of the binding of each of the tri-specific antibodies. FIG. IOC shows the binding of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies using B cell from a second donor (Donor 10), showing substantially comparable results as FIG. 10B. However, the binding of M23032 was higher than (>) M23034 > M23036 > M23037 > M23045 > M23038 > M23033.

[0081] The percentage of dead B Cell Lymphoma (BCL) cells following exposure to M23027, M23026, M23028, M23029, M23032, M23033, M23034, M23035, M23038, M23042, S 1819, or S I 820 is quantified in FIG. 10D. In particular, FIG. 10D shows that all tested anti- CD 19 / CD20 / SIRPα tri-specific antibodies induced primary lymphoma cells killing.

[0082] FIGs. 11A-B show graphs demonstrating that the tri-specific antibodies described herein (FIG. HA) killed Raji cells in Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC) assay with Raji cells and human serum when compared to controls and bi-specific antibodies (FIG. 1 IB). All tested tri-specific antibodies e.g., M23034, M23045, M23036, M23032, and M23033) killed Raji cells with similar efficiency in the CDC assay, but the killing efficiency of M23034 was higher (>) than M23045 > M23036 > M23032 > M23033. The tri-specific antibodies showed stronger killing efficiency when compared to bi-specific antibodies (FIG. 11 A vs FIG. B).

[0083] FIGs. 12A-C show a graph (FIG. 12A) and a table (FIG. 12B) quantifying the Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of the anti-CD19 / anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies using Raji cells; and demonstrating that most tri-specific antibodies showed similar binding affinity (EC50) to Raji. In particular, tri-specific antibodies comprising CD20 Fab showed superior max killing. M23033 and M23038 showed the best ADCC activity (perhaps because of the availability of more CD20 binding sites) when compared to M23032, M23034, M23036, M23045, and M23037. The affinity of tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD19 Fab (M23032 and M23034) also showed very high ADCC activity, which was weakly less than M23033 and M23038. FIG. 12C shows exemplary anti-CD19 / anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodiesbased on ADCC EC50values on Raji cells; and demonstrate that all evaluated tri-specific antibodies had double or low triple digit pMEC50. Unexpectedly, Raji cells had 5-fold higher expression of CD20 compared to CD 19.

[0084] FIGs. 13A-D show a workflow of a whole blood ex vivo assay (FIG. 13A) and graphs quantifying the results of B-cell depletion in the whole blood ex vivo assay (FIGs. 13B-D); and demonstrate that the tri-specific antibodies efficiently depleted Cyno B-cells in the whole blood ex vivo assay. FIG. 13B shows the effectiveness and ranking of the tri-specific antibodies. M23032 and M23034 showed significantly higher B-cell depletion compared to other tested tri- specific antibodies. The tri-specific antibodies were ranked as follows: M23032 > M23034 > M23037 > M23045 > M23036 > M23038 > M23033 > S1819. Unexpectedly, in contrast to the ADCC assay of FIGs. 12A-C, the B-cell depletion induced by M23033 and M23038 did not show any significant difference when compared to a control mono-specific antibody (M23026). FIG. 13C shows the effectiveness of tri-specific antibodies containing CD 19 Fab at depleting B- cells and demonstrating that M23032, M23034, and M23045 significantly enhanced B cell depletion when compared to the control mono-specific antibodies (M23026 or M23027). FIG. 13D shows the effectiveness of tri-specific antibodies containing CD20 Fab at depleting B-cells and demonstrating that M23033, and M23038 enhanced B cell depletion. Unexpectedly, tri- specific antibodies containing CD19 Fab showed a significantly higher B cell depletion when compared to tri-specific antibodies containing CD20 Fab.

[0085] FIGs. 14A-D show graphs quantifying the binding of the tri-specific antibodies to human red blood cells (RBCs) and T cells; and demonstrating the binding selectivity of the tri-specific antibodies for B-cells. FIG. 14A shows that none of the tested multi-specific molecules showed binding in human RBCs. In particular, the tri-specific antibodies did not bind to human RBCs. 1054 is a SIRPα-bivalent high affinity Fc chimeric molecule. FIG. 14B-C show that, expectedly*, at very high concentration (> InM), some tri-specific antibodies showed weak binding to cynomolgus macaque (cyno) RBCs from two donors. *SIRPα containing molecules are known to bind to RBC at very high concentration. All multi-specific molecules bound significantly lower than HA in both donors. The binding of M23034 to RBCs was slightly higherthan the binding of M23032 in both donors. FIG. 14D shows a graph demonstrating that some tested tri-specific antibodies showed weak binding to T cells at high concentration. In particular, the binding of M23033 was less than (<) M23032 < M23034, which was equal to (=) M23045 = M23038 < M23036 < M23037.

[0086] FIGs. 15A-C show an E-gel agarose electrophoresis image (FIG. 15A) and an automated electrophoresis system result (electropherogram trace (FIG. 15B) and a virtual gel image (FIG. 15C)) demonstrating the nucleic acid integrity of the engineered BCL constructs disclosed herein (See e.g., Table 7). Construct 1814 (SIRPA-Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl-SIRPA) showed an additional peak in the E-gel, the virtual gel, and the electropherogram trace. An electropherogram is a nucleic acid fluorescence vs. time trace.

[0087] FIG. 16 shows a bar graph quantifying the expression of the engineered multi-specific antibodies in vivo 24 hours after the heavy chain immunoglobulin (VH; H) and light chain immunoglobulin (VL; L) constructs were administered to mice at the disclosed ratios (H:L chain ratio). Expression was assessed by human IgGl ELISA. M23045 had the highest overall expression at all ratios evaluated (2: 1, 1 : 1, or 1 :2). The second best expression was seen with M23032, M23033 and M23037 generating constructs with a concentration of about 5ug / ml. EC90less or equal to 2ug / ml for M23032, M23034, M23045 based on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (human PBMCs) B cell depletion. Tetravalent SIRPα had lower expression than expected with a concentration of about 2.5ug / ml when compared to about 15pg / ml in MS047 and MS049.

[0088] FIG. 17 shows automated Western Blot chromatograms demonstrating the expression and purity of the in-vivo expressed M23032 at different ratios. In particular, in-vivo expressed M23032 was homogenous (high purity), in all the three ratios evaluated (2: 1, 1:1, and 1 :2).

The ADCC of M23038 was assessed as a purified protein, aggregated of proteins (FIG. 21A), or mRNA Sup (FIG. 21B). The ADCC EC50was 0.04131 (purified protein), 0.03052 (aggregated protein), and 0.08355 (mRNA Sup). The mRNA sup was used at a starting concentration of about lOnM because the concentration was relatively low.

[0093] FIGs. 22A-G show chromatographs illustrating the binding of the tri-specific antibodies, M23032 (FIG. 22A), M23033 (FIG. 22B), M23034 (FIG. 22C), M23036(FIG. 22D), M23037 (FIG. 22E), M23038 (FIG. 22F), M23045 (FIG. 22D) to their target antigens (CD 19; CD20, and CD47) on Raji cells using Biacore™. Most tri-specific antibodies bound strongly to the target antigen, except for M23032 and M23034 (C -terminal fusions), which showed reduced binding to CD20.

[0094] FIGs. 23A-E show graphs demonstrating the effect of a single target binding on the activity of the tri-specific antibodies. The binding of M23032, M23034, and M23045 on WT Raji cells (FIG. 23A), Raji cells expressing CD19 only (FIG. 23B), Raji cells expressing CD20 only (FIGs. 23D-E), or Raji cells expressing CD47 only (FIG. 23C) were substantially the same. M23026, M23027, and tetravalent SlRPα-Fc fusion molecule were used as control. Unexpectedly, M23045 showed the highest binding affinity to CD 19 or CD20 when compared to M23032 and M23034 under these circumstances.

[0095] FIGs. 24 A-C show that a single intravenous (IV) dose of M23032 mRNA resulted in robust (over 90%) circulating B cells depletion in cynomolgus macaques. FIG. 24A shows a schematic of the experimental set up.

[0100] FIGs. 29A-B show that administering an intravenous (IV) dose of 0.75 mg / kg M23032 mRNA resulted in sustained depletion of circulating B cells in cynomolgus macaques through D52 post-dosing. FIG. 29A shows that cynomolgus macaques administered with M23032 RNA IV formulation had between 1-3% B cells in total lymphocytes from day 7 through 52, which was lower than B cells measured in animals that received a control RNA. FIG. 29B shows that the CD21+and CD21lowB cell subpopulations were both depleted in M23032 RNA treated cynomolgus macaques (n=2) compared to controls.

[0101] FIGs. 30 A-C show graphs quantifying the levels of M23032 protein on B cells (FIG. 30A), T cells (FIG. 30B), and Red Blood cells (RBC; FIG. 30C) from M23032 RNA treatedcynomolgus macaques of FIG. 29. FIG. 30A shows that significantly higher levels of M23032 protein were measured on B cells from IV M23032 RNA treated animals compared to animals that received a control RNA. FIG30B shows that higher levels of M23032 protein were measured on T cells from IV M23032 RNA treated animals compared to animals that received a control RNA.

This data shows that CD47 engagement by M23032 was significantly enhanced by CD20 and CD 19 engagement; and that M23032 protein binding to tumor cells was significantly enhanced in tumor cells that expressed all three targets. See also, FIGs. 24B and 24C.

OVERVIEWA. Vast unmet need in B-cell lymphoma treatment

[0111] B Cell Lymphoma (BCL) is a form of a blood cell cancer that starts with white B-cells (e.g., lymphocytes). In BCL patients, lymphocytes are not healthy, do not generate antibodies, do not fight infection, and continuously proliferate. BCL can be a very aggressive cancer because it can spread to lymph nodes, bone marrow, central nervous system, liver, spleen, and other organs. The standard treatment for BCL usually starts with chemotherapy, surgery, or local radiation therapy. Beyond the standard, follow-up treatments include stem cell transplantation, targeted B- cell agents (e.g, anti-CD20 antibodies), immunotherapy including, but not limited to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T-cell therapy). However, up to 50% of patients receiving any of these treatments become refractory or relapse after treatment. Relapse is associated with worse outcome. In particular, use of treatments that target only a single tumor antigen, such as CD20 or CD 19, can apply selective pressure to tumors that results in loss or down-regulation of antigen expression in patients. Thus, there is a vast yet unmet need for the treatment of refractoryor relapsed B cell lymphoma in patients that have undergone chemotherapy, surgery, and / or local radiation therapy.

[0112] To address this unmet need, the present disclosure provides novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules (i.e., multi-specific antibodies) for systemic administration for treating refractory or relapse B cell lymphoma in patients that have undergone chemotherapy, surgery, and / or local radiation therapy. The novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules are multi-specific antibodies that binds two or more antigens. To design the novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules (e.g., multi-specific antibodies), the most common antigens found in BCL were identified, the molecules were designed and evaluated. CD 19, CD20, and CD47 were selected as target antigens. In particular, CD 19 and CD20 binders that have clinical validation were identified and evaluated. In addition, a molecule that can bind to CD47 was identified (e.g., SIRPα).B. Novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules for systemic administration

[0113] A number of mono-specific, bi-specific, and multi-specific molecules with increasing complexity were generated with appropriate controls (FIGs. 1-3). Plasmids with codon optimized sequences were generated using pcDNA3.4 and pUC57 vectors (Table 2; FIGs. 39A- B). These plasmids were then expressed in HEK293 cells and purified. The integrity, purity, and aggregation of the mRNA molecules and / or DNA were performed. Relevant sequences are disclosed in Table 1.

[0114] These multi-specific antibodies comprise a first polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH) of an antibody that targets a first antigen selected from CD 19 or CD20; and a second polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin light chain (VL) of an antibody that targets the first antigen. The VH can be operably linked to an immunoglobulin Fc fragment; and at least one antigen binding domain that binds to a second antigen selected from CD 19 or CD20; and / or an immune modulator capable of binding to a molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM, CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP, CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD155. The VL can be operably linked to a linker; at least one antigen; and an immune modulator capable of binding toa molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM, CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP, CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD 155. An exemplary immune modulator capable of binding to CD47 is signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα). The at least one antigen binding domain can be selected from the group consisting of a Fab, a scFv, a scAb, a dAb, a single domain heavy chain antibody, and a single domain light chain antibody.

[0115] Alternatively, the multi-specific antibody that binds two or more antigens comprises at least one full-length antibody that specifically binds a first antigen selected from CD 19 or CD20, operably linked to at least two antigen binding domains that bind a second antigen. The full- length CD19 or CD20 antibody comprises: an antibody fragment selected from the group consisting of a Fab fragment, or a F(ab')2 fragment that targets CD19 or CD20, and two human immunoglobulin G1 (IgGl) Fc fragments which are operable linked to the antigen binding domain. The at least two antigen binding domains that bind a second antigen are selected from (i) a Fab fragment, or a scFv that targets CD 19 or CD20; and / or an immune modulator capable of binding a molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM, CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP, CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD155. Exemplary embodiments of the multi-specific antibodies contemplated by the present disclosure are schematized in FIGs. 1A-J (CD 19), FIGs. 2A-J (CD20); and FIGs. 3A-F (scFv-chimeric fusion molecules).

[0116] Exemplary preferred embodiments of the novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules for systemic administration disclosed herein include M23028, M23043, M23040, M23034, M23044, M23036, M23037, M23032, M23045, M23029, M23041, M23039, M23046, M23042, M23035, M23038, M23033, S1826, S1806, S1827, S1807, S1820, and S 1819.

[0117] These multi-specific antibodies have increased complexities. For example, they showed increased valency of anti-CD20, CD20 / CD19, or CD20 / CD19 / SIRP when compared to the corresponding mono-specific antibody. The multi-specific antibodies were shown to be polyvalent and more than 20 permutations can be generated from the single nucleic acid molecules disclosed herein (e.g., Table 1, Table 2 (FIGs. 39A-B) and Table 7). The multi-specific antibodies are symmetric molecules involving one (1) to three (3) chains. The novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules were codon optimized for human use.C. Enhanced tumor binding and tumor killing profiles when compared to mono-specific antibodies

[0118] 11 tri-specific antibodies and 16 mono and bi-specific antibodies were generated as shown in FIGs. 1-3. The mono-specific and bi-specifics antibodies were used as controls for the tri-specific antibodies. The 26 constructs were produced and underwent a variety of analyses including, binding assays, preliminary ADCC assays on Raji cells, and Occupation assays (FIG. 7). As shown in FIG. 4A, the anti-CD19 and anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies and chimeric scFv-Fc molecules (M23037, M23033, M23038, M23045, M23034 (M23044), M23032, M23042, S1820, M23035, and S 1819) showed strong binding to Raji cells. All tri-specific molecules showed very high binding affinity to Raji cells. The binding to Raji cells were ranked as follows M23037 was superior (>) to M23033, and M23033 = M23036 > M23038> M23045> M23034 (M23044)> M23032> M23042>S1820> M23035>S1819 (FIG. 4B).

[0119] While built upon SIRPα-CCR4 multi-specific scaffolds, which are chimeric Fc fusion molecules, the multi-specific antibodies disclosed herein exhibited enhanced binding affinity when compared to a Fab fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, or a scFv derived from the same mono- specific antibody. The tri-specific chimeric scFv-Fc molecules (e.g., S1820 and S 1819) showed lower binding affinity to Raji cells when compared to the anti-CD19 and anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies (FIG. 4C). Additional in-vitro binding and functional assessments of the mRNA expressed molecules were performed using in-vitro binding and ADCC analysis or in-vitro human and cynomolgus macaque (cyno) B-cell killing (FIG. 4A). Based on these assays, exemplary mRNA molecules were identified and selected (Table 3; FIG. 5).

[0120] FIG. 5 shows schematic depictions of the structures of exemplary multi-specific antibodies ranked based on (a) in-depth binding analysis (e.g., ELISA, Biacore™, single target cell lines);(b) functional characterization (e.g., normal B-cell depletion with and without Raji, lymphoma B-cell depletion, ADCC on Raji, cynomolgus macaque whole blood assay); (c) On- target off-tumor binding (e.g., RBC (human and cyno), T-cell (human)); and (d) in-vivo expression: mRNA quality, expression in mice, in-vivo purity (FIG. 20). Binding assays usingBiacore™ further confirmed that the novel multi-specific antibodies could engage or bind to their target antigens CD 19, CD20, and CD47as shown in Table 4. Comparable results were obtained with ELISA (Table 5).

[0121] Furthermore, as shown in FIGs. 26-33, intravenous administration of constructs in mice resulted in robust serum titers of M23032 (FIG. 27) and control of Raji tumors in a mouse xenograft model (FIGs. 26A-B). To assess M23032 pharmacodynamics in a relevant model, cynomolgus macaques were dosed intravenously with M23032 RNA, and the M23032 protein expression on B cells and B cell depletion were measured in circulation (e.g., serum from treated animals). A single intravenous administration of M23032 resulted in rapid and durable depletion of B cells in circulation with no detectable multispecific binding to red blood cells (FIGs. 29A-B and FIGs. 30A-C)

[0122] The cytotoxic effects of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies on Raji cells and Human PBMC were evaluated as shown in FIGs. 10A-D. The percentage of dead Raji Cells (FIG. 10A), the percentage of normal B cell depletion (FIG. 10B), and the percentage of normal B cell count (FIG. 10C) showed that the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies effectively bound to and killed Raji cells and human PBMC. Table 6 shows the EC50and EC90of the binding of each of the tri-specific antibodies. FIG. 10C further shows the binding of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies using B cells from a second donor (Donor 10), which showed substantially similar results as FIG. 10B. These results confirmed that the tri- specific antibodies were active against primary lymphoma cells. Furthermore, the results showed that the addition of SIRPα to target CD47 on lymphoma cells enhanced the activity of the tri- specific antibodies when compared to mono-specific antibodies and / or bi-specific antibodies. Thereby validating the rationale to include SIRPα in the multi-specific antibody designs.

[0123] Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assays also demonstrated that the novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules for systemic administration were effective at killing tumor cells. All tested tri-specific antibodies e.g., M23034, M23045, M23036, M23032, and M23033) killed Raji cells with similar efficiency in the CDC assay. The tri-specific antibodies also showed stronger killingefficiency when compared to control (Iso or HA) or bi-specific antibodies (M23026, M23027, M23028, M23029) (FIG. 11 A vs B). As shown in FIG. 12A-B, the ADCC of the anti- CD 19 / anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies also showed that most tri-specific antibodies showed similar binding affinity (EC50) to Raji.

[0124] The novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules (i.e., the multi-specific antibodies) were also selective for tumor cells. None of the tested multi-specific molecules showed binding to human RBCs or T cells, which do not express the target antigens or weakly express the target antigen (FIG. 14A and FIG. 14D). In particular, the tri-specific antibodies did not bind to human RBCs. The tri-specific antibodies disclosed herein only showed weak binding to T cells at high concentration. As such, the multi-specific antibodies disclosed herein showed minimal to no off-target effects.

[0125] Engagement of CD47 by M23032 protein was enhanced by additionally binding to CD19 and CD20 (FIG. 33). When CD19 and / or CD20 binding was blocked on Raji cells, there was a reduction in CD47 engagement by M23032 protein. These results suggested that M23032 had preferential binding to tumor cells that expressed all three targets.D. An in vivo method of producing a multi-specific antibody with enhanced tumor binding and tumor killing profdes when compared to mono-specific antibodies

[0126] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides an in vivo method of producing a multi- specific antibody, the method comprising administering to a subject a predetermined molar ratio of: (a) a first nucleic acid encoding: an immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH) of an antibody that targets a first antigen selected from CD19 or CD20; an immunoglobulin Fc fragment; at least one antigen binding domain that binds to a second antigen selected from CD 19 or CD20; and / or (iv) an immune modulator capable of binding a molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM, CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP,CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD155; and (b) a second nucleic acid encoding: (i) an immunoglobulin light chain (VL) of an antibody that targets the first antigen; a linker; an immune modulator capable of binding a molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM, CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP, CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD155; and / or at least one antigen binding domain that bindsthe second antigen, where when administered to the subject, the first and the second nucleic acids generate a fully assembled multi-specific antibody. An exemplary immune modulator capable of binding to CD47 is signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα).

[0127] The novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules (e.g., multi-specific antibodies) were also shown to form a multi-specific antibody in vivo following systemic administration in a subject. Plasmids with codon optimized sequences were generated using pcDNA3.4 and pUC57 vectors. These plasmids were then expressed in HEK293 cells; and purified. Table 7 shows some tested mRNA molecule constructs, which were purified by Fragment Analyzer and showed about 80% purity.

[0128] The expression of the engineered multi-specific antibodies were observed in mice in vivo 24 hours after the heavy chain immunoglobulin (VH; H) and light chain immunoglobulin (VL; L) constructs were administered to mice at a specified ratios (H:L chain ratio) (FIG. 16). M23045 showed the highest overall expression at all ratios evaluated (2: 1, 1 :1, or 1 :2). The concentration of M23045 was about 15 ug / ml at 2: 1 (H:L chain ratio); and about 10 ug / ml at 1 : 1 or 1 :2 ratio. The second best expression was seen with M23032, M23033 and M23037 with a concentration of about 5ug / ml. The ratio of 2: 1 was considered a safe choice for treatment.

[0129] FIGs. 17-19 show the purity of the in vivo generated multi-specific antibodies using the method disclosed herein. The multi-specific antibodies M23032, M23033, M23034, M23037, M23038, and M23045 showed high purity, based on homogenous population, in all the three chain ratios evaluated (2: 1, 1 :1 and 1:2) when manufactured in vivo. Table 8 shows some exemplary ratio recommendation for producing the disclosed multi-specific antibodies using the method disclosed herein.

[0130] Therefore, the present specification provides at least 11 novel, specific, and selective tri- specific molecules that were designed to target and kill tumor cells in patients suffering from B Cell lymphoma. As shown in the Examples provided herein, these novel tri-specific molecules showed superior anti-tumor properties and binding affinity when compared to related mono- specific antibodies and / or chimeric Fc fusion molecules comprising an antigen binding domain derived from the same mono-specific antibody. In particular, exemplary novel tri-specific molecules include M23032, M23033, M23034, M23035, M23036, M23037, M23038, M23042, M23044, M23045, S1820, and S 1819. These molecules were generated and evaluated in vivo and in vitro. Of these 11, 7 molecules were further characterized because they showed strong binding to Raji cells (Table 3). M23034 and M23044 were shown to be identical molecules. M23032, M23033, M23034, M23036, M23037, M23038, and M23045 were further characterized as described above. FIG. 20 summarizes the functional characteristics of the novel tri-specific antibodies disclosed herein.

[0131] M23032, an anti-CD19-anti-CD20-anti-CD47 tri-specific antibody showed the best functional effects when compared to the 10 molecules based on the cyno whole blood, B-cell depletion in PBMC and primary lymphoma cells, ADCC & CDC, and other in vitro / ex vivo assays (FIG. 20). Based on the expression level in mice and the trend seen across mono-specific antibodies and multi-specific antibodies, a 2: 1 Heavy: Light chain ratio can be a preferredembodiment for generating the multi-specific antibodies disclosed herein using the in-vivo method described herein and for drug product formulation.

[0132] Intravenous administration of M23032 RNA controlled growth of subcutaneously implanted Raji tumors in CB17 / SCID mice, resulting in a significant delay to tumor growth (FIGs. 26-28). Robust levels of M23032 protein was measured in serum of mice dosed with M23032 protein (FIG. 31).

[0133] Lastly, a single intravenous (IV) dose of M23032 mRNA resulted in robust (over 90%) circulating B cells depletion in cynomolgus macaques (FIGs. 24 B-C). Indeed, robust circulating B cell depletion in four out of four animals dosed with M23032 mRNA was observed. In addition, IV administration of M23032 mRNA was well-tolerated in Non-Human Primate (NHPs). B cell depletion was sustained through D52 post dosing with M23032 RNA (FIGs. 29A-B) and M23032 was shown to bind to B and T cells in dosed NHPs, but not to red blood cells (RBCs) (FIGs. 30A-C). M23032 protein was measured in plasma of dosed animals, and this protein from plasma was highly pure (FIG. 32).II. Multi-specific antibodies

Immune modulators

[0223] In some embodiments, the immune modulator that is operably linked to the VH or the VL is capable of binding to a molecule selected from the group consisting of BTLA, HVEM,CSF1R, CCR4, CD39, CD40, CD73, CD96, CXCR2, CXCR4, CD200, GARP, CD47, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD155. In some embodiments, the immune modulator is capable of binding to Signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα). SIRPα is a transmembrane protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The extracellular region of SIRPα comprises 3 immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains and the cytoplasmic region contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs). SIRPα is especially abundant in myeloid cells such as macrophages.

[0224] SIRPα is a receptor for Cluster of Differentiation 47 (CD47). SIRPα and CD47 signaling pathway modulates phagocytosis as a component of an immune response. CD47 is expressed in most normal cell types and may be overexpressed in various disease states including cancer cells. The interaction of SIRPα with CD47 is an inhibitory immune checkpoint that negatively regulate phagocytotic activity of macrophages. The CD47-SIRPα interaction transmits inhibitory " don't eat me signals”. SIRPα and CD47 signaling pathway is implicated in the etiology of many diseases, including cancer. For example, the binding of SIRPα to CD47 triggers a signaling pathway that may be implicated in the inhibition of leukemia cells and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) phagocytosis by macrophages. See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,541,615. Accordingly, immunomodulatory therapeutics which inhibit SIRPα / CD47 axis can be used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In some embodiments, SIRPα comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 44.C. Fc region

[0225] The Fc region or a portion thereof is typically responsible for antibody effector function. It is contemplated that Fc regions with modified effector functions, for example, enhanced or increased effector functions, may be used in connection with the embodiments described herein.

[0226] Non-limiting examples of Fc molecules e.g., IgGl Fc molecules) having increased effector function include those having the following substitutions: S239D / I332E, S239D / A330S / I332E, S239D / A330L / I332E, S298A / D333A / K334A, P247I / A339D P247I / A339Q, D280H / K290S, D280H / K290S / S298D, D280H / K290S / S298V, F243L / 292P / Y300L, F243L / R292P / Y300L / P396L, F243L / R292P / Y300L / V305I / P396L,G236A / S239D / I332E, K326A / E333A, K326W / E333S K290E / S298G / T299A K290N / S298G / T299A, K290E / S298G / T299A / K326E, andK290N / S298G / T299A / K326E. Another method of increasing effector function of IgG Fc- containing proteins is by reducing the fucosylation of the Fc. Removal of the core fucose from the biantennary complex-type oligosaccharides attached to the Fc greatly increased ADCC effector function without altering antigen binding or CDC effector function. Several ways are known for reducing or abolishing fucosylation of Fc-containing molecules, e.g., antibodies.

[0227] It is known that human IgGl has a glycosylation site at N297 (EU numbering system) and glycosylation contributes to the effector function of IgGl antibodies. Groups have mutated N297 in an effort to make aglycosylated antibodies. The mutations have focused on substituting N297 with amino acids that resemble asparagine in physiochemical nature such as glutamine (N297Q) or with alanine (N297A) which mimics asparagine without polar groups.

[0228] Accordingly, additional exemplary Fc molecules having decreased effector function include those having the following substitutions: N297A or N297Q (IgGl), L234A / L235A (IgGl), V234A / G237A (lgG2) L235A / G237A / E318A (lgG4), H268Q / V309L / A330S / A331 S (lgG2), C220S / C226S / C229S / P238S (IgGl), C226S / C229S / E233P / L234V / L235A (IgGl), L234F / L235E / P331S (IgGl) S267E / L328F (IgGl).D.

[0265] One aspect of the present disclosure provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a multi-specific antibody described herein. In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid is a DNA or an RNA. The RNA can be a mRNA.

[0266] In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid encodes an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22; SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 18, and SEQ ID NO: 19.

[0267] In some embodiments, the isolated nucleic acid further comprises a nucleic acid encoding a secretory signal sequence.

[0268] The multi-specific antibody described herein need not be encoded by any specific nucleic acid exemplified herein. For example, redundancy in the genetic code allows for variations in nucleotide codon sequences that nevertheless encode the same amino acid. Accordingly, a multi- specific antibody of the present disclosure can be produced from nucleic acid sequences that are different from those set forth herein, for example, being codon optimized for a particular expression system. Codon optimization can be performed, for example, as set forth in Athey et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 18:391-401 (2017).

[0269] Wild type nucleic acids may be isolated from naturally occurring sources or a commercial antibody (e.g., Rituximab or Tafasitamab) be used as starting material to generate the novel multi-specific antibody described herein. The nomenclature and the laboratory procedures in recombinant DNA technology described below are those well-known and commonly employed in the art. Standard techniques for cloning, DNA and RNA isolation, amplification and purification are known. Enzymatic reactions involving DNA ligase, DNA polymerase, restriction endonucleases are the like are performed according to the manufacturer's specifications. These techniques and various other techniques are performed according to Sambrook & Russell, Molecular Cloning-A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., (1989) or Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1-3, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1994-1998).

[0270] The isolation of nucleic acids may be accomplished by a variety of techniques. The nucleic acids of the present disclosure can be generated from the wild type or original sequence sequences (e.g., Rituximab or Tafasitamab; Table 1). The wild type sequences can be altered to create modified sequences. Wild type molecules can be modified to create the engineered multi- specific antibody present application using methods that are well known in the art. Exemplary modification methods are site-directed mutagenesis, point mismatch repair, or oligonucleotide- directed mutagenesis.B. Vectors

[0001] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides an expression vector comprising the isolated nucleic acid encoding a multi-specific antibody described herein. A “vector” refers to a polynucleotide, which when independent of the host chromosome, is capable replication in a host organism. Preferred vectors include plasmids and typically have an origin of replication. Vectors can comprise, e.g., transcription and translation terminators, transcription and translation initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulation of the expression of the particular nucleic acid. The polymerases of the present disclosure can be expressed in a variety of host cells, including E. coli, other bacterial hosts, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and various higher eukaryotic cells such as the COS, CHO and HeLa cells lines and myeloma cell lines. Techniques for gene expression in microorganisms are described in, for example, Smith, Gene Expression in Recombinant Microorganisms (Bioprocess Technology, Vol. 22), Marcel Dekker, 1994. Examples of bacteria that are useful for expression include, but are not limited to, Escherichia, Enterobacter, Azotobacter, Erwinia, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, Rhizobia, Vitreoscilla, and Paracoccus . Filamentous fungi that are useful as expression hosts include, for example, the following genera: Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Neurospora, Penicillium, Cephalosporium, Achlya, Podospora, Mucor, Cochliobolus, and Pyricularia. Synthesis of heterologous proteins in yeast is well known and described in the literature. There are many expression systems for producing the polymerase polypeptides of the present invention that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.C. Host cells

[0271] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a host cell transfected with the expression vector comprising the isolated nucleic acid encoding a multi-specific antibody described herein.

[0272] Eukaryotic expression systems for mammalian cells, yeast, and insect cells are well known in the art and are also commercially available. In yeast, vectors include Yeast Integrating plasmids (e.g., YIp5) and Yeast Replicating plasmids (the YRp series plasmids) and pGPD-2. Expression vectors containing regulatory elements from eukaryotic viruses are typically used ineukaryotic expression vectors, e.g., SV40 vectors, papilloma virus vectors, and vectors derived from Epstein-Barr virus. Other exemplary eukaryotic vectors include pMSG, pAV009 / A+, pMTO10 / A+, pMAMneo-5, baculovirus pDSVE, and any other vector allowing expression of proteins under the direction of the CMV promoter, SV40 early promoter, SV40 later promoter, metallothionein promoter, murine mammary tumor virus promoter, Rous sarcoma virus promoter, polyhedrin promoter, or other promoters shown effective for expression in eukaryotic cells. Additional vectors and plasmids are described in the Examples.

[0273] Once expressed, the multi-specific antibody described herein or a derivative thereof can be purified according to standard procedures of the art, including ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity purification columns, column chromatography, gel electrophoresis and the like. Pure compositions of at least about 90 to about 95% homogeneity are preferred, and about 98 to about 99% or more homogeneity are most preferred. Once purified, partially or to homogeneity as desired, the polypeptides may then be used (e.g., as immunogens for antibody production).

[0274] To facilitate purification of the multi-specific antibody or a derivative thereof, the nucleic acids that encode the multi-specific antibody or derivatives thereof can also include a coding sequence for an epitope or “tag” for which an affinity binding reagent is available. Examples of suitable epitopes include the myc and V-5 reporter genes; expression vectors useful for recombinant production of fusion polypeptides having these epitopes are commercially available (e.g., Invitrogen (Carlsbad Calif.) vectors pcDNA3.1 / Myc-His and pcDNA3.1 / V5-His are suitable for expression in mammalian cells). Additional expression vectors suitable for attaching a tag to the fusion proteins of the disclosure, and corresponding detection systems are known to those of skill in the art as described herein, and several are commercially available (e.g., FLAG" (Kodak, Rochester N. Y.). Another example of a suitable tag is a polyhistidine sequence, which is capable of binding to metal chelate affinity ligands. Typically, six adjacent histidines are used (6His-tag, his-tag), although one can use more or less than six. Suitable metal chelate affinity ligands that can serve as the binding moiety for a polyhistidine tag include nitrilo-tri-acetic acid (NTA).

[0275] One of skill in the art would recognize that after biological expression or purification, the engineered reverse transcriptase or derivatives thereof may possess a conformation substantially different than the native conformations of the constituent polypeptides. In this case, it may be necessary or desirable to denature and reduce the engineered reverse transcriptase or a derivative thereof and cause the engineered reverse transcriptase or a derivative thereof to re-fold into the preferred conformation. Methods of reducing and denaturing proteins and inducing re-folding are well known to those of skill in the art.

RNA

[0366] In some embodiments of the in vivo method of producing a multi-specific antibody described herein, a single polynucleotide comprises the first and second nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the first nucleic acid or the second nucleic acid further comprises a modified nucleotide, a cap structure, a poly A tail, a 5' untranslated region, and / or a 3' untranslated region.In some embodiments, the first or the second nucleic acid is a DNA or an RNA. In some embodiments, the RNA is an mRNA. In some embodiments, the first or the second nucleic acid is a synthetic mRNA or a modified mRNA. In some embodiments, the first or the second nucleic acid is synthesized from naturally occurring nucleotides.

[0367] In some embodiments, the first or the second nucleic acid is synthesized from modified nucleotide analogues selected from the group consisting of 1 -methyladenine, 2-methyl-adenine, 2-methylthio-N-6-isopentenyl-adenine, N-6-methyl-adenine, N-6-isopentenyl-adenine, 2-thio- cytosine, 3 -methyl -cytosine, 4-acetyl-cytosine, 5-methyl-cytosine, 2,6-diaminopurine, 1-methyl- guanine, 2-methyl-guanine, 2,2-dimethyl-guanine, 7-methylguanine, inosine, 1-methyl-inosine, pseudouracil (5-uracil), dihydro-uracil, 2-thio-uracil, 4-thiouracil, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl- 2-thio- uracil, 5-(carboxyhydroxymethyl)-uracil, 5-fIuorouracil, 5-bromo-uracil, 5- carboxymethylaminomethyl-uracil, 5-methyl-2 -thio-uracil, 5-methyluracil, N-uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methyl ester, 5-methylaminomethyl-uracil, 5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thio-uracil, 5- methoxycarbonylmethyl-uracil, 5-methoxy-uracil, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methyl ester, uracil-5- oxyacetic acid (v), 1-methyl-pseudouracil, queosine, β-D-mannosyl-queosine, wybutoxosine, and phosphoramidates, phosphorothioates, peptide nucleotides, methylphosphonates, 7- deazaguanosine, 5-methylcytosine, 1 -methylpseudouridine, and inosine.

[0368] Methods of making polynucleotides of a predetermined sequence are well-known. Solid- phase synthesis methods are known for both polyribonucleotides and polydeoxyribonucleotides (the well-known methods of synthesizing DNA are also useful for synthesizing RNA). Polyribonucleotides can also be prepared enzymatically. Non-naturally occurring nucleobases can be incorporated into the polynucleotide, as well. Any method known in the art for making RNA is contemplated herein for making the RNAs. Illustrative methods for making RNA include but are not limited to, chemical synthesis and in vitro transcription.

[0369] In some embodiments, the RNA for use in the methods herein is chemically synthesized. Chemical synthesis of relatively short fragments of oligonucleotides with defined chemical structure provides a rapid and inexpensive access to custom-made oligonucleotides of any desired sequence. Whereas enzymes synthesize DNA and RNA only in the 5' to 3' direction,chemical oligonucleotide synthesis does not have this limitation, although it is most often conducted in the opposite, i.e., the 3' to 5' direction. In some embodiments, the process is implemented as solid-phase synthesis using the phosphoramidite method and phosphoramidite building blocks derived from protected nucleosides (A, C, G, and U), or chemically modified nucleosides.

[0370] In some embodiments, modifications are included in the modified nucleic acid or in one or more individual nucleoside or nucleotide. For example, modifications to a nucleoside may include one or more modifications to the nucleobase, the sugar, and / or the internucleoside linkage. In some embodiments having at least one modification, the polynucleotide includes a backbone moiety containing the nucleobase, sugar, and internucleoside linkage of: pseudouridine-alpha-thio-MP, 1-methyl-pseudouridine-alpha-thio-MP, 1 -ethyl -pseudouridine- MP, 1-propyl-pseudouridine-MP, l-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-pseudouridine-MP, 2-amino-adenine- MP, xanthosine-MP, 5-bromo-cytidine-MP, 5-aminoallyl-cytidine-MP, or 2- ami nopurinerib osi de-MP .

[0371] In other embodiments having at least one modification, the polynucleotide includes a backbone moiety containing the nucleobase, sugar, and internucleoside linkage of: pseudouridine-alpha-thio-MP, 1-methyl-pseudouridine-alpha-thio-MP, or 5-bromo-cytidine-MP. Nucleoside and nucleotide modifications contemplated for use in the present disclosure are known in the art.

[0372] To obtain the desired oligonucleotide, the building blocks are sequentially coupled to the growing oligonucleotide chain on a solid phase in the order required by the sequence of the product in a fully automated process. Upon the completion of the chain assembly, the product is released from the solid phase to the solution, deprotected, and collected. The occurrence of side reactions sets practical limits for the length of synthetic oligonucleotides (up to about 200 nucleotide residues), because the number of errors increases with the length of the oligonucleotide being synthesized. Products are often isolated by HPLC to obtain the desired oligonucleotides in high purity.

[0373] In some embodiments, RNA is made using in vitro transcription. The terms "RNA in vitro transcription" or "in vitro transcription" relate to a process wherein RNA is synthesized in a cell-free system (in vitro). DNA, particularly plasmid DNA, is used as template for the generation of RNA transcripts. RNA may be obtained by DNA-dependent in vitro transcription of an appropriate DNA template, which may be a linearized plasmid DNA template. The promoter for controlling in vitro transcription can be any promoter for any DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Particular examples of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases are the T7, T3, and SP6 RNA polymerases. A DNA template for in vitro RNA transcription may be obtained by cloning of a nucleic acid, in particular cDNA corresponding to the respective RNA to be in vitro transcribed and introducing it into an appropriate vector for in vitro transcription, for example into plasmid DNA. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the DNA template is linearized with a suitable restriction enzyme, before it is transcribed in vitro. The cDNA may be obtained by reverse transcription of mRNA or chemical synthesis. Moreover, the DNA template for in vitro RNA synthesis may also be obtained by gene synthesis.

[0374] Methods for in vitro transcription are known in the art. Reagents used in the methods typically include: 1) a linearized DNA template with a promoter sequence that has a high binding affinity for its respective RNA polymerase such as bacteriophage-encoded RNA polymerases; 2) ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) for the four bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil); 3) in some aspects, a cap analogue as defined above (e.g. m7G(5')ppp(5')G(m7G)); 4) a DNA- dependent RNA polymerase capable of binding to the promoter sequence within the linearized DNA template (e.g. T7, T3 or SP6 RNA polymerase); 5) optionally a ribonuclease (RNase) inhibitor to inactivate any contaminating RNase; 6) optionally a pyrophosphatase to degrade pyrophosphate, which may inhibit transcription; 7) MgC12, which supplies Mg2+ions as a co- factor for the polymerase; 8) a buffer to maintain a suitable pH value, which can also contain antioxidants (e.g. DTT), and / or polyamines such as spermidine at optimal concentrations.B. Predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids

[0375] In some embodiments of the in vivo method of producing a multi-specific antibody described herein, a predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids isadministered to the subject. In some embodiments, redetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is between about 10: 1 to about 1 : 10. In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is greater than about 1.

[0376] In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is about 9: 1 to about 1 :9, about 8: 1 to about 1 :8, about 7: 1 to about 1:7, about 6: 1 to about 1 :6, about 5: 1 to about 1 :5, about 4: 1 to about 1 :4, about 3: 1 to about 1 :3, or about 2: 1 to about 1 :2. In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is about 1 : 1, about 1 :2, about 1 :3, about 1 :4, about 2: 1 : about 3: 1, about 4: 1, about 5: 1 or about 6: 1. In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is about 1 : 1, about 1 :2, about 1 :3, about 1 :4, about 2: 1 : about 3:1, about 4:1, about 5: 1 or about 6: 1.

[0377] In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is about 1 : 1 or about 2: 1. In some embodiments, the predetermined molar ratio of the first and the second nucleic acids is 2: 1.C. Lipid nanoparticles (LPN)

[0378] Any appropriate delivery vehicle molecule may be used with the in vivo method of producing a multi-specific antibody described herein. For example, the delivery vehicle molecule may comprise an amino-lipidated peptoid delivery vehicle. The delivery vehicle molecule may be, for example, a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). LNP formulations may be composed of an ionizable or cationic lipid or polymeric material, bearing tertiary or quaternary amines to encapsulate the polyanionic mRNA; a zwitterionic lipid (e.g., l,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) that resembles the lipids in the cell membrane; cholesterol to stabilize the lipid bilayer of the LNP; and a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid to lend the nanoparticle a hydrating layer, improve colloidal stability, and reduce protein absorption.

[0379] Multicomponent LNPs may be taken up by endocytosis and can electrostatically attach and fuse with the cell membrane using inverted non-bilayer lipid phases. Once inside the cell, LNPs may be routed into early endosomes, followed by late endosomes, and finally the lysosomes where the mRNA contents are enzymatically degraded.

[0380] One class of delivery vehicle molecules includes the cationic or ionizable lipids and lipid- like materials. Cationic lipids bear alkylated quaternary ammonium groups. Cationic lipids retain their cationic nature in a pH-independent fashion, while ionizable lipids acquire positive charges by protonation of free amines as pH is lowered. Lipid-like materials bear more hydrophobic side chains than natural lipids. Cationic lipids, such as N-[l-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N- trimethylammonium chloride (DOTMA) may be used. Alternatively, or additionally, pH dependent ionizable materials may be used. The ionizable lipid named Dlin-MC3-DMA (MC3) can also be used to transfect mRNA in order to express therapeutic proteins.

[0381] Polymeric materials may be used for the delivery of therapeutic mRNA. For example, low-molecular-weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified with fatty chains may be used for siRNA and mRNA delivery to reduce toxicity of high-molecular weight PEI.Poly(glycoamidoamine) polymers modified with fatty chains, and / or. a tartrate backbone have been shown to deliver mRNA. Poly(β-amino)esters (PBAEs) are biodegradable polymers that may be used for nucleic acid delivery, including PBAEs formulated with PEG-lipid to increase their serum stability. Hyperbranched PBAEs may be used for mRNA delivery.

[0382] Polymethacrylates with amine-bearing side chains, polyaspartamides with oligoaminoethylene side chains, and polyacrylic acids amidated with tetramine with alternating ethyl-propyl-ethyl spacers have been reported to transfect mRNA and may be used as a delivery vehicle molecule. Self-immolative polycarbonate-block-poly(a-amino)esters may release mRNA upon rearrangement followed by degradation at pH 7.4, to facilitate endosomal escape.Biodegradable amino polyesters (APEs) may be synthesized with low dispersity from tertiary amino alcohols as initiators in ring-opening polymerization of various lactones. APEs may be capable of tissue-selective mRNA delivery. Other biodegradable polymers with biocompatible degradation products and enhanced endosomal escape capabilities may be used for mRNA delivery.

[0383] In some embodiments, the delivery vehicle molecule may include dendrimers. For example, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) or polypropylenimine-based dendrimers have been extensively studied for gene delivery. Fatty chain-modified PAMAM dendrimers, and / or amodified PAMAM dendrimer co-formulated with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and ceramide-PEG may be used as a delivery vehicle molecule.

[0384] Alternatively, in some embodiments , cell -penetrating peptides (CPPs) may be used as delivery vehicle molecules. CPPs may promote clustering of the negatively charged glycosaminoglycans on the cell surface, which in turn triggers macropinocytosis and lateral diffusion or directly disrupts the lipid bilayer. A CPP with arginine-rich amphipathic RALA sequence repeats may be used. In some embodiments the delivery vehicle molecule may be a combination of cationic and zwitterionic lipids, reminiscent of cationic and helper lipids (“zwitterionic amino lipids” or ZALs). In particular, the delivery vehicle molecules described herein may be amino-lipidated peptoid delivery vehicles. For example, these delivery vehicles may be a lipid-containing amphipathic delivery vehicle that provides packaging and protection of mRNA cargos during circulation, avoid immune recognition, and may facilitate cellular uptake and release. Examples of these delivery vehicles may be found in international patent applications, PCT / US19 / 53661 and PCT / US 19 / 53655

[0426] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice for testing of the present invention, the preferred materials and methods are described herein. In describing and claiming the present invention, the following terminology will be used.

[0427] It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.

[0428] The articles “a” and “an” are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element. “About” as used herein when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of ±20% or ±10%, more preferably ±5%, even more preferably ±1%, and still more preferably ±0.1% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate to perform the disclosed methods.

[0429] As used herein, the term “Antibody,” refers to an immunoglobulin molecules and / or molecules comprising one or more immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules, which specifically bind with an antigen. The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers single (mono-specific) monoclonal antibodies (including agonist and antagonist antibodies), antibodies with polyepitopic specificity (bi-specific, tri-specific, ormulti-specific), antibody fragments, and chimeric or fusion molecules comprising one or more antibody fragments or a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity of an immunoglobulin molecule.

[0430] A multi-specific antibody means an engineered molecule comprising two or more binding domains that specifically binds to an antigen. The multi-specific antibodies are engineered to target distinct antigen epitopes simultaneously on the same or different cell types. For example, a multi-specific antibody can comprise 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more domains that bind to one or more antigens on the same cell or different cells. The binding domain can be a fragment or a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, or the binding domain of any molecule, including but not limited to immune cell receptors, or tumor antigen receptors. In some embodiments, the multi-specific antibody is a bi-specific, tripecific antibody, a tetra-specific antibody, a penta-specific antibody, or a hexa-specific antibody.

[0431] In some embodiments, the multi-specific antibody is a tri-specific (or trispecific) antibody. In some embodiments, the tri-specific antibody comprises three different binding domains. In some embodiments, one binding domain is specific for a receptor on an immune cell (e.g., T cells or a B cell). A second binding domain is specific for a tumor associated antigen including but not limited to CD19, CD20, ROR1, CEA, HER2, EGFR, EGFRvIII, LMP1, LMP2A, Mesothelin, PSMA, EpCAM, glypican-3, gpA33, GD2, TROP2, BCMA, CD33, CD123, CD22, CD30. A third binding domain can be specific for an immune checkpoint modulator such as PDL1, PD1, 0X40, 4-1BB, GITR, TIGIT, TIM-3, LAG-3, CTLA4, CD40, VISTA, ICOS, BTLA, Light, HVEM, CD73, CD39, etc.

[0432] In some embodiments, the trispecific antigen comprises three different binding domains; and One binding domain is specific for a receptor on an immune cell e.g., CD47; CD20; or CD19); a second binding domain is specific for a first tumor associated antigen (e.g., CD19 or CD20); and the third binding domain is specific for a second tumor associated antigen (e.g., CD20; or CD 19). In some embodiments, at least one of the three binding domains targets an immune receptor. In some embodiments, at least one of the three binding domains targets a tumor antigens.

[0433] Molecules that contain an antigen binding site that specifically binds (immunoreacts with) an antigen are also contemplated by the present definition. By “specifically bind” or “immunoreacts with” or “immunospecifically binds” is meant that the antibody reacts with one or more antigenic determinants of the desired antigen and does not react with other polypeptides or binds at much lower affinity (Kd >10').

[0434] Antibodies can be intact immunoglobulins derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources and can be immunoreactive portions of intact immunoglobulins. Antibodies are typically tetramers of immunoglobulin molecules. The antibodies in the present disclosure may exist in a variety of forms including, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, chimeric molecules comprising a portion of an antibody, antibody fragments (e.g., Fv, Fab, F(ab')2, as well as single chain antibodies (scFv)) and humanized antibodies (Harlow et al., 1999, In: Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY; Harlow et al., 1989, In: Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Houston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; Bird et al., 1988, Science 242:423-426).

[0435] The basic antibody structural unit is known to comprise a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kDa) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain includes a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. In general, antibody molecules obtained from humans relate to any of the classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD, which differ from one another by the nature of the heavy chain present in the molecule. Certain classes have subclasses as well, such as IgGl, IgG2, and others. Furthermore, in humans, the light chain may be a kappa chain or a lambda chain.

[0436] An antibody may comprise a VH domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VH domain of any of the antibodies shown in the appended sequence listing, and / or comprising a VL domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90,95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VL domain of any of those antibodies. Algorithms that can be used to calculate % identity of two amino acid sequences include e.g., BLAST, FASTA, or the Smith-Waterman algorithm, e.g., employing default parameters. Particular variants may include one or more amino acid sequence alterations (addition, deletion, substitution and / or insertion of an amino acid residue). Antibodies include, but are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, chimeric, dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab' and F(ab')2 fragments, scFv, and an Fab expression library.

[0437] By “specifically bind” or “immunoreact with” is meant that the antibody reacts with one or more antigenic determinants of the desired antigen and does not react with other polypeptides or binds at much lower affinity (Kd >10').]0438] As used herein, the term “antibody fragment” refers to a portion of an intact antibody and refers to the antigenic determining variable regions of an intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, scFv antibodies, and multi-specific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0439] An “antibody heavy chain,” as used herein, refers to the larger of the two types of polypeptide chains present in all antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations.

[0440] An “antibody light chain,” as used herein, refers to the smaller of the two types of polypeptide chains present in all antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations, α and β light chains refer to the two major antibody light chain isotypes.

[0441] The term “antigen” or “Ag” as used herein is defined as a molecule that provokes an immune response. This immune response may involve either antibody production, or the activation of specific immunologically-competent cells, or both. The skilled artisan will understand that any macromolecule, including virtually all proteins or peptides, can serve as an antigen. Furthermore, antigens can be derived from recombinant or genomic DNA. A skilled artisan will understand that any DNA, which comprises a nucleotide sequences or a partial nucleotide sequence encoding a protein that elicits an immune response therefore encodes an “antigen” as that term is used herein. Furthermore, one skilled in the art will understand that an antigen need not be encoded solely by a full-length nucleotide sequence of a gene. It is readilyapparent that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the use of partial nucleotide sequences of more than one gene and that these nucleotide sequences are arranged in various combinations to elicit the desired immune response. Moreover, a skilled artisan will understand that an antigen need not be encoded by a “gene” at all. It is readily apparent that an antigen can be generated synthesized or can be derived from a biological sample. Such a biological sample can include, but is not limited to a tissue sample, a tumor sample, a cell, or a biological fluid.

[0442] As sued herein, the term “antigen-binding site,” or “binding portion” refers to the part of the immunoglobulin molecule that participates in antigen binding. The antigen binding site is formed by amino acid residues of the N-terminal variable (“V”) regions of the heavy (“H”) and light (“L”) chains. Three highly divergent stretches within the V regions of the heavy and light chains, referred to as “hypervariable regions,” are interposed between more conserved flanking stretches known as “framework regions,” or “FRs.” Thus, the term “FR” refers to amino acid sequences which are naturally found between, and adjacent to, hypervariable regions in immunoglobulins. In an antibody molecule, the three hypervariable regions of a light chain and the three hypervariable regions of a heavy chain are disposed relative to each other in three dimensional space to form an antigen-binding surface. The antigen-binding surface is complementary to the three-dimensional surface of a bound antigen, and the three hypervariable regions of each of the heavy and light chains are referred to as “complementarity-determining regions,” or “CDRs.” The assignment of amino acids to each domain is in accordance with the definitions of Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987), Chothia et al., Nature 342:878-883 (1989).

[0443] A “disease” is a state of health of an animal wherein the animal cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the animal's health continues to deteriorate. In contrast, a “disorder” in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal's state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal's state of health.

[0444] The term “ex vivo,” as used herein, refers to cells that have been removed from a living organism, (e.g., a human) and propagated outside the organism (e.g., in a culture dish, test tube, or bioreactor).

[0445] The term “expression” as used herein is defined as the transcription and / or translation of a particular nucleotide sequence driven by its promoter. “Expression vector” refers to a vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide comprising expression control sequences operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence to be expressed. An expression vector comprises sufficient cis- acting elements for expression; other elements for expression can be supplied by the host cell or in an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, such as cosmids, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes) and viruses (e.g., Sendai viruses, lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses) that incorporate the recombinant polynucleotide.

[0446] An “isolated” or “purified” antibody or protein is one that has been identified, separated and / or recovered from a component of its production environment (e.g., natural or recombinant). For example, the antibody or protein is substantially free of cellular material or other contaminating proteins from the cell or tissue source from which the antibody is derived, or substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. The language “substantially free of cellular material” includes preparations of an antibody in which the antibody is separated from cellular components of the cells from which it is isolated or recombinantly produced. Thus, an antibody that is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of antibody having less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, or 5% (by dry weight) of heterologous protein (also referred to herein as a “contaminating protein”). When the antibody is recombinantly produced, it is also preferably substantially free of culture medium, i.e., culture medium represents less than about 20%, 10%, or 5% of the volume of the protein preparation. When the antibody is produced by chemical synthesis, it is preferably substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals. For example, the antibody is separated from chemical precursors or other chemicals, which are involved in the synthesis of the protein. Accordingly, such preparations of the antibody have less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5% (by dry weight) ofchemical precursors or compounds other than the antibody of interest. In a preferred embodiment, antibodies of the invention are isolated or purified.

[0447] The term “isolated polynucleotide” as used herein shall mean a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin or some combination thereof, which by virtue of its origin the “isolated polynucleotide” (1) is not associated with all or a portion of a polynucleotide in which the “isolated polynucleotide” is found in nature, (2) is operably linked to a polynucleotide which it is not linked to in nature, or (3) does not occur in nature as part of a larger sequence. Polynucleotides in accordance with the invention include the nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy chain immunoglobulin molecules, and nucleic acid molecules encoding the light chain immunoglobulin molecules described herein.

[0448] The term “isolated protein” referred to herein means a protein of cDNA, recombinant RNA, or synthetic origin or some combination thereof, which by virtue of its origin, or source of derivation, the “isolated protein” (1) is not associated with proteins found in nature, (2) is free of other proteins from the same source, e.g., free of marine proteins, (3) is expressed by a cell from a different species, or (4) does not occur in nature.

[0449] The term “operably linked” as used herein refers to positions of components so described are in a relationship permitting them to function in their intended manner. A control sequence “operably linked” to a coding sequence is ligated in such a way that expression of the coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatible with the control sequences.

[0450] “Homologous” as used herein, refers to the subunit sequence identity between two polymeric molecules, e.g., between two nucleic acid molecules, such as, two DNA molecules or two RNA molecules, or between two polypeptide molecules. When a subunit position in both of the two molecules is occupied by the same monomeric subunit; e.g., if a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, then they are homologous at that position. The homology between two sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or homologous positions; e.g., if half (e.g., five positions in a polymer ten subunits in length) of the positions in two sequences are homologous, the two sequences are 50% homologous; if 90% of the positions (e.g., 9 of 10), are matched or homologous, the two sequences are 90% homologous.“Humanized” forms of non-human e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other antigen- binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a complementary-determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues.

[0451] Furthermore, humanized antibodies can comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. These modifications are made to further refine and optimize antibody performance. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature, 321 : 522-525, 1986; Reichmann et al., Nature, 332: 323-329, 1988; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2: 593-596, 1992.

[0452] “Identity” as used herein refers to the subunit sequence identity between two polymeric molecules particularly between two amino acid molecules, such as, between two polypeptide molecules. When two amino acid sequences have the same residues at the same positions; e.g., if a position in each of two polypeptide molecules is occupied by an arginine, then they are identical at that position. The identity or extent to which two amino acid sequences have the same residues at the same positions in an alignment is often expressed as a percentage. The identity between two amino acid sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or identical positions; e.g., if half (e.g., five positions in a polymer ten amino acids in length) of the positions in two sequences are identical, the two sequences are 50% identical; if 90% of thepositions (e.g., 9 of 10), are matched or identical, the two amino acids sequences are 90% identical.

[0453] The term “immunoglobulin” or “Ig,” as used herein is defined as a class of proteins, which function as antibodies. Antibodies expressed by B cells are sometimes referred to as the BCR (B cell receptor) or antigen receptor. The five members included in this class of proteins are IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. IgA is the primary antibody that is present in body secretions, such as saliva, tears, breast milk, gastrointestinal secretions, and mucus secretions of the respiratory and genitourinary tracts. IgG is the most common circulating antibody. IgM is the main immunoglobulin produced in the primary immune response in most subjects. It is the most efficient immunoglobulin in agglutination, complement fixation, and other antibody responses, and is important in defense against bacteria and viruses. IgD is the immunoglobulin that has no known antibody function, but IgD may serve as an antigen receptor. IgE is the immunoglobulin that mediates immediate hypersensitivity by causing release of mediators from mast cells and basophils upon exposure to allergen.

[0454] The term “immune response” as used herein is defined as a cellular response to an antigen that occurs when lymphocytes identify antigenic molecules as foreign and induce the formation of antibodies and / or activate lymphocytes to remove the antigen.

[0455] The term “immunosuppressive” is used herein to refer to reducing overall immune response.

[0456] The term “polynucleotide” as used herein is defined as a chain of nucleotides. Furthermore, nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Thus, nucleic acids and polynucleotides as used herein are interchangeable. One skilled in the art has the general knowledge that nucleic acids are polynucleotides, which can be hydrolyzed into the monomeric “nucleotides.” The monomeric nucleotides can be hydrolyzed into nucleosides. As used herein polynucleotides include, but are not limited to, all nucleic acid sequences which are obtained by any means available in the art, including, without limitation, recombinant means, i.e., the cloning of nucleic acid sequences from a recombinant library or a cell genome, using ordinary cloning technology and PCR™, and the like, and by synthetic means.

[0457] As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably, and refer to a compound comprised of amino acid residues covalently linked by peptide bonds. A protein or peptide must contain at least two amino acids, and no limitation is placed on the maximum number of amino acids that can comprise a protein's or peptide's sequence. Polypeptides include any peptide or protein comprising two or more amino acids joined to each other by peptide bonds. As used herein, the term refers to both short chains, which also commonly are referred to in the art as peptides, oligopeptides, and oligomers, for example, and to longer chains, which are referred to in the art as proteins, of which there are many types. “Polypeptides” include, for example, biologically active fragments, substantially homologous polypeptides, oligopeptides, homodimers, heterodimers, variants of polypeptides, modified polypeptides, derivatives, analogs, fusion proteins, among others. The polypeptides include natural peptides, recombinant peptides, synthetic peptides, or a combination thereof.

[0458] The term “immunostimulatory” is used herein to refer to increasing overall immune response.

[0459] The term “specifically binds,” as used herein with respect to an antibody, is meant an antibody which recognizes a specific antigen, but does not substantially recognize or bind other molecules in a sample. For example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen from one species may also bind to that antigen from one or more species. However, such cross-species reactivity does not itself alter the classification of an antibody as specific. In another example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen may also bind to different allelic forms of the antigen. However, such cross reactivity does not itself alter the classification of an antibody as specific. In some instances, the terms “specific binding” or “specifically binding,” can be used in reference to the interaction of an antibody, a protein, or a peptide with a second chemical species, to mean that the interaction is dependent upon the presence of a particular structure (e.g., an antigenic determinant or epitope) on the chemical species; for example, an antibody recognizes and binds to a specific protein structure rather than to proteins generally. If an antibody is specific for epitope “A,” the presence of a molecule containing epitope A (or free,unlabeled A), in a reaction containing labeled “A” and the antibody, will reduce the amount of labeled A bound to the antibody.

[0460] As used herein, “Fab” refers to a fragment of an antibody structure that binds to an antigen but is monovalent and does not have a Fc portion, for example, an antibody digested by the enzyme papain yields two Fab fragments and an Fc fragment (e.g., a heavy (H) chain constant region; Fc region that does not bind to an antigen).

[0461] As used herein, “F(ab')2” refers to an antibody fragment generated by pepsin digestion of whole IgG antibodies, wherein this fragment has two antigen binding (ah') (bivalent) regions, wherein each (ah') region comprises two separate amino acid chains, a part of a H chain and a light (L) chain linked by an S — S bond for binding an antigen and where the remaining H chain portions are linked together. A “F(ab')2” fragment can be split into two individual Fab' fragments.

[0462] The term “therapeutic” as used herein means a treatment and / or prophylaxis. A therapeutic effect is obtained by suppression, remission, or eradication of a disease state.

[0463] The term “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” as used herein refers to a process by which exogenous nucleic acid is transferred or introduced into the host cell. A “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” cell is one which has been transfected, transformed or transduced with exogenous nucleic acid. The cell includes the primary subject cell and its progeny.

[0464] To “treat” a disease as the term is used herein, means to reduce the frequency or severity of at least one sign or symptom of a disease or disorder experienced by a subject.

[0465] A “vector” is a composition of matter which comprises an isolated nucleic acid and which can be used to deliver the isolated nucleic acid to the interior of a cell. Numerous vectors are known in the art including, but not limited to, linear polynucleotides, polynucleotides associated with ionic or amphiphilic compounds, plasmids, and viruses. Thus, the term “vector” includes an autonomously replicating plasmid or a virus. The term should also be construed to include non-plasmid and non-viral compounds which facilitate transfer of nucleic acid into cells,such as, for example, polylysine compounds, liposomes, and the like. Examples of viral vectors include, but are not limited to, Sendai virus vectors, adenovirus vectors, adeno-associated virus vectors, retrovirus vectors, lentivirus vectors, and the like.

[0466] As used herein, “substantially pure” means an object species is the predominant species present (i.e., on a molar basis it is more abundant than any other individual species in the composition), and preferably a substantially purified fraction is a composition wherein the object species comprises at least about 50 percent (on a molar basis) of all macromolecular species present.

[0467] A substantially pure composition will comprise more than about 80 percent of all macromolecular species present in the composition, more preferably more than about 85%, 90%, 95%, and 99%. Most preferably, the object species is purified to essential homogeneity (contaminant species cannot be detected in the composition by conventional detection methods) wherein the composition consists essentially of a single macromolecular species.

[0468] The term patient includes human and veterinary subjects.

[0469] Ranges: throughout this disclosure, various aspects of the invention can be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 2.7, 3, 4, 5, 5.3, and 6. This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.VIII. EXAMPLES

[0470] The invention is further described in detail by reference to the following experimental examples. These examples are provided for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified. Thus, the invention should in no way be construed as being limited to the following examples, but rather, should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teaching provided herein.[0471 Without further description, it is believed that one of ordinary skill in the art can, using the preceding description and the following illustrative examples, make and utilize the compounds of the present disclosure and practice the claimed methods. The following working examples specifically point out various aspects of the present disclosure and are not to be construed as limiting in any way the remainder of the disclosure.Example 1: Construct Formats and protein production

[0472] The experiments described herein were initiated to address a vast yet unmet need for the treatment of refractory or relapse B cell lymphoma in patients that have undergone chemotherapy, surgery, and / or local radiation therapy. B Cell Lymphoma (BCL) is a form of a cancer that starts with white B-cells (e.g., lymphocytes). In BCL, lymphocytes are not healthy,do not generate antibodies, do not fight infection, and continuously proliferate. BCL can be a very aggressive cancer because it can spread to lymph nodes, bone marrow, central nervous system, liver, spleen, and other organs. The standard treatment for BCL usually starts with chemotherapy, surgery, or local radiation therapy. Beyond the standard, treatments include stem cell transplantation, targeted B-cell agents (e.g., anti-CD20 antibodies), immunotherapy including, but not limited to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T-cell therapy). However, up to 50% of patients receiving any of these treatments become refractory or relapse after treatment, which is associated with worse outcome.

[0473] To address this unmet need, the present disclosure provides novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules for systemic administration for treating refractory or relapse B cell lymphoma in patients that have undergone chemotherapy, surgery, and / or local radiation therapy. The novel ovel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules are multi-specific antibodies comprising anti-CD19, anti-CD20, and / or SIRPα. These multi-specific antibodies: (1) have increased complexities, for example, increased valency of anti-CD20, CD20 / CD19, CD20 / CD19 / SIRP; (2) are polyvalent and more than 20 permutations can be generated from the single nucleic acid molecules disclosed herein (e.g., Table 2 and Table 7); and (3) are symmetric molecules involving one to 3 chains. The novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules were codon optimized for human use.

[0474] To design the novel and differentiated mRNA expressed molecules ( .g., multi-specific antibodies), the most common antigens found in BCL were identified, designed, and tested. In particular, CD19 and CD20 binders that have clinical validation were identified. 15 - 30 mono- specific, bi-specific, and multi-specific molecules with increasing complexity were generated with appropriate controls. Plasmids with codon optimized sequences were generated using pcDNA3.4 and pUC57 vectors. These plasmids were then expressed in HEK293 cells; and purified. The integrity, purity, and aggregation of the mRNA molecules and / or DNA were performed. Relevant sequences are disclosed in Table 1. In-vitro binding and functional assessments of the mRNA molecules were performed using in-vitro binding and ADCC analysis or in-vitro human and cynomolgus macaque (cyno) B-cell killing. Based on these assays,exemplary mRNA molecules were selected (Table 3). In-vivo expression and purity assessments in mice were also perform. Specifically, the mRNA molecules were produced and administered to mice with a delivery vehicle (DV) containing Compound 41 (FIG. 25R). Expression and the purity of the multi-specific antibodies from the mice’s plasma were assessed 72 hours post administration.

[0475] Specifically, A total of 27 multi-specific antibody molecules were designed and generated based on 26 mRNA molecules (e.g., 1802-1827) (Table 2; FIGs. 39A-B). 8 mono- specific antibody molecules (FIGs. 1A-B; FIGs. 2A-B; and FIGs. 3A-D); 7 bi-specific antibodies (FIGs. 1C-E; and FIGs. 2C-F); and 11 tri-specifics (FIGs. 1F-J; FIGs. 2G-J; and FIGs. 3E-F) with purity over 90% and low endotoxin levels (<lEU / mg) were designed and produced. The multi-specific antibodies target three antigens: CD19, CD20, and CD47.

[0476] The schematic depictions of the structures of the anti-CD19 multi-specific antibodies, including mono-, bi-, and tri-specific antibodies are shown in FIGs. 1A-J. The mono-specific anti-CD19 antibodies include (FIG. 1A) M23027 (Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl + Anti-CD19 (VL)- CK); and (FIG. IB) M23031 (Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl (Tafa enhanced ADCC) + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK). The anti-CD19 multi-specific antibodies are optionally operably linked to an immune modulator that targets a Signal Regulatory Protein alpha (SIRPα) and / or an anti-CD20 or anti- CD 19 single-chain variable fragment (scFv). SIRPα binds to CD47.

[0477] The bi-specific anti-CD19 antibodies include (FIG. 1C) M23028 (Anti-CD19(VH)- IgGl-CD20 (scFv) + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK); (FIG. ID) M23043 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl -SIRPA + Anti-CD19(scFv)-Anti-CD19-(VK)-CK); and (FIG. IE) M23040 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl- SIRPA + SIRPA-Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK).

[0478] The tri-specific anti-CD19 antibodies include (FIG. IF) M23034 or M23044 (Anti- CD 19(VH)-IgGl-CD20(scFv) + SIRPA-Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK); (FIG. 1G) M23036 (SIRPA- Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl -SIRPA + Anti-CD20 (scFv)-Anti-CD19(VL)-CK); (FIG. 1H) M23O37 (Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl -SIRPA (2X) + Anti-CD20 (scFv)-Anti-CD19(VL)-CK); (FIG. II) M23032 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl-CD20(scFv) + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK-SIRPA); and (FIG. 1J) M23045 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl -SIRPA + Anti-CD20 (scFv)-Anti-CD19(VL)-CK).

[0479] The structures of the anti-CD20 multi-specific antibodies, including mono-, bi-, and tri- specific antibodies are shown in FIGs. 2A-J. The mono-specific anti-CD20 antibodies include (FIG. 2A) M23026 (Anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl + Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK ); and (FIG. 2B) M23030 (Anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl (Rituxan Fc) + Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK).

[0480] Like the anti-CD19 multi-specific antibodies, the anti-CD20 multi-specific antibodies are operably linked to SIRPα (SIRPA) that targets CD47); and / or an anti-CD20 or anti-CD19 single- chain variable fragment (scFv). The bi-specific anti-CD20 antibodies include (FIG. 2C) M23029 (Anti-CD20(VH-IgGl-CD19 (scFv)+ Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK); (FIG. 2D) M23041 (Anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl -SIRPA + Anti-CD20(scFv)-Anti-CD20-(VK)-CK); (FIG. 2E) M23039 (Anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl -SIRPA + SIRPA-Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK); and (FIG. 2F) M23046 (SIRPA-anti- CD20(VH)-IgG-anti-CD20(VH)-CHl + SIRPA-Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK).

[0481] The tri-specific anti-CD20 antibodies include (FIG. 2G) M23042 (anti-CD20 (VH)- IgGl-SIRPA + Anti-CD19(scFv)-Anti-CD20 (VK)-CK); (FIG. 1H) M23035 (Anti-CD20(VH- IgGl-CD19 (scFv) + SIRPA-Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK); (FIG. II) M23038 (Anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl- SIRPA + Anti-CD20(VL)-CK-anti-CD19 (scFv)); and (FIG. 1J) M23033 (Anti-CD20(VH- IgGl-CD19 (scFv) + Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK-SIRPA).

[0482] Chimeric single-chain variable fragment (scFv) Fc fusion molecules that target CD19, CD20, and / or SIRPα (SIRPA) were also generated. FIGs. 3A-F show schematic depictions of the structures of anti-CD20 or anti-CD19 chimeric single-chain variable fragment (scFv) Fc fusion molecules. The chimeric scFv-Fc proteins are mono-specific (FIGs. 3A-D) or tri-specific (FIGs. 3E-F). The mono-specific anti-CD19 chimeric scFv-Fc include (FIG. 3A) S1826 (Anti- CD19(scFv VL-VH)-IgGl); S1806 (Anti-CD19(scFv VH-VL)-IgGl); and (FIG. 3B) S1806 (Anti-CD19(scFv VH-VL)-IgGl).

[0483] The mono-specific anti-CD20 chimeric scFv-Fc molecules include (FIG. 3C) S1827 (Anti-CD20(scFv VL-VH)-IgGl); and (FIG. 3D) S1807 (Anti-CD20(scFv VH-VL)-IgGl).

[0484] The chimeric scFv-Fc protein molecules were operably linked to a SIRPα to target CD47; and / or an anti-CD20 or anti-CD19 scFv. The tri-specific anti-CD19 / CD20 chimeric scFv-Fcmolecules include (FIG. 3E) S1820 (Anti-CD19(scFv)-SIRPA-IgGl-SIRPA-anti-CD20(ScFv)); and (FIG. 3F) S1819 (SIRPA-anti-CD19&CD20 (scFv)-IgGl-SIRPA).

[0485] The nucleic acids of these designed multi-specific antibody molecules were generated, codon optimized and inserted into a pcDNA3.4 and pUC57 vectors for expression HEK293 cells.

[0486] Following their purification, integrity, and purity assessments (Table 2; FIGs. 39A-B), the molecules were functionally assessed using in-vitro cell-based assays, such as binding assays and preliminary ADCC assays on Raji cells, and Occupation assays (FIG. 7).

[0487] FIG. 4A shows the binding of the anti-CD19 and anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies and chimeric scFv-Fc molecules (M23037, M23033, M23038, M23045, M23034 (M23044), M23032, M23042, S1820, M23035, and S1819) to Raji cells. Most tri-specific molecules showed very high binding affinity to Raji cells. The binding to Raji cells were ranked as follow. M23037 was superior (>) to M23033, and M23033 > M23038> M23045> M23034 (M23044)>M23032> M23042>S1820> M23035>S1819 (FIG. 4B). The binding of M23033 to Raji cells was equal to that of M23036 (M23033 =. M23036). The tri-specific chimeric scFv-Fc molecules (e.g., S1820 and S 1819) showed lower binding affinity to Raji cells when compared to the anti- CD19 and anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies (FIG. 4C). The CD20 Fab constructs operably linked to any molecules on the N-terminal of light chain of the tri-specific antibody (e.g., M23042 (anti-CD20 (VH)-IgGl-SIRPA + Anti-CD19(scFv)-Anti-CD20 (VK)-CK ) and M23035 (Anti-CD20(VH-IgGl-CD19 (scFv) + SIRPA-Anti-CD20 (VL)-CK)) showed slightly weaker binding when compared to other tri-specific antibodies (FIG. 4C).

[0488] From these analyses, 7 molecules were selected for further analysis (FIG. 5; Table 3). FIG. 5 shows schematic depictions of the structures of exemplary multi-specific antibodies selected for further analysis. These molecules were selected based on: (a) binding analysis in- depth(e. ., ELISA, Biacore™, single target cell lines); (b) functional characterization e.g., normal B-cell depletion with and without Raji, lymphoma B-cell depletion, ADCC on Raji, cyno whole blood assay); (c) On-target off-tumor binding (e.g., RBC (human and cyno), T-cell (human)); and (d) in-vivo expression, mRNA quality, expression in mice, in-vivo purity.

[0489] The selected multi-specific antibodies were M23032, M23033 ( EC50: 0.034), M23034 (EC50: 0.069), M23036 (EC50: 0.117), M23037 (EC50: 0.534), M23038 (EC50: 0.027), M23045. M23032 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl-CD20(scFv) + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK-SIRPA) showed stronger response followed by M23045 (Anti-CD19(VH)-IgGl-SIRPA + Anti-CD20 (scFv)-Anti- CD19(VL)-CK). M23026 (Rituximab w in-house Fc; EC50: 0.2980nM).

[0490] Table 9 shows Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) analytical data demonstrating the purity of the selected molecules.Example 2: Molecule Characterization in vitro: production, binding, killing, depletion

[0491] To determine whether 27 novel designed molecules were functional, extensive characterization of the molecules was performed, including in-depth binding analysis, functional characterization; on-target off-tumor binding; and in-vivo expression. The in-depth binding analysis included ELISA, Biacore™, and single target cell lines. Additional functional characterization was performed using normal B-cell depletion assay with and without Raji cells, lymphoma B-cell depletion, ADCC on Raji, and cyno whole blood assay. The on-target off- tumor binding was performed using RBC (human and cyno), and T-cell (human). The in-vivo expression was performed using mRNA quality, expression in mice, and in-vivo purity. Based on the results of these assays,7 of the 11 tested tri-specific antibodies showed strong binding on Raji cells

[0492] To determine the binding of the designed molecules to Raji cells, Raji cells were seeded in 96-well plate, incubated with serially diluted molecules, stained with hu anti-lgG-FC and data were obtained via flow cytometry. As shown in FIG. 6, most tri-specific antibodies showed very high binding affinity, with the exception of CD20 Fab constructs that had any molecules on the N-terminal of light chain (M23042 and M23035). Both scFv-Fc fusion molecules (S1820 and S1819) also showed lower binding affinity

[0493] In particular, FIGs. 6A-D show graphs demonstrating the binding of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies and the chimeric anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 scFv-Fc fusion molecules when compared to control Rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) and Tafasitamab (anti- CD19 antibody). FIG. 6A shows the binding of commercial Rituximab (Human IgG monoclonal) and Tafasitamab (commercial Fc; M23031(Anti-CD19 (VH)-IgGl (Tafa enhanced ADCC) + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK) and novel variants (in-house) of Rituximab and Tafasitamab to Raji cells. These data demonstrate that both in house Tafasitamab (M23027; Anti-CD19 (VH)- IgGl + Anti-CD19 (VL)-CK); and in-house Rituximab (in house Fc; M23026 (Anti-CD20 (VH)- IgGl + Anti-CD20 (VL)-C) showed better binding to Raji cells when compared to the commercial Tafasitamab and Rituximab.

[0494] All anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies bound significantly to Raji cells compared to controls (CD19-Fab alone (M23027) and SIRPα bivalent / Tetravalent). FIG. 6B shows the binding of anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies to Raji cells when compared to commercial Rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody), bivalent-SIRPα WT (SIRPα-Fc fusion molecule), or a tretravalent-SIRPα (SIRPα-Fc fusion molecule).

[0495] FIG. 6C shows the binding of anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies (M23029, M23033, M23035, M23038, M23039, M23041, M23042, and M23046) to Raji cells when compared to commercial Rituximab, in-house Rituximab (M23026 or M23030), bivalent-SIRPα WT (SIRPα- Fc fusion molecule), or a tretravalent-SIRPα (SIRPα-Fc fusion molecule). The in-house Rituximab (M23026) bounds higher than any tri-specific molecules with CD20-Fab as well as purchased Rituximab. Anti-CD20 tri-specific molecules operably linked to SIRPα or scFv to theN-terminal of the heavy chain CD20-Fab (e.g., M23035, M23041, M23042 and M23046) resulted in reduced binding.

[0496] FIG. 6D shows that the binding of anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 chimeric scFv-Fc fusion molecules, S1826, S1806, S1820, S1827, S1807, and S1819 to Raji cells was variable binding results.Occupancy of CD19-CD20-CD47

[0497] To determine whether the designed molecules could bind their target antigens, binding and occupancy assays were performed as shown in FIG. 7. The binding assay measured the binding of drug molecules (e.g., tri-specific antibodies) to cells and the occupation assay measured available binding sites remaining after drug binding (e.g., tri-specific antibodies). The binding and occupation assays each comprised 2-steps. Step 1 comprised coating cells with increasing concentration of the tri-specific antibodies or control molecules; step 2 comprised staining cells with Phycoerythrin (PE) labeled anti-huFC (binding assay) or PE labeled SIRPα (SIRPα occupancy), Alexa Fluor 647 labeled anti-CD20 (CD20 occupancy) and Pacific Blue labeled anti-CD19 (CD 19 occupancy).

[0498] FIG. 8 shows a graph quantifying results of the occupancy assay. The data confirmed target engagement by the tested multi-specific antibodies. In addition, the data demonstrated that M23042, S1820, M23035, and S 1819 weakly bound to CD20 (bold boxes). These data were consistent with the Raji cell binding analysis shown in FIG. 4C. Most tri-specific antibodies bound their respective targets. Anti-CD20 arms of the tri-specific antibodies were more sensitive to modification. Indeed, binding was not observed with 5 molecules (scFv or VL modified). For example, M23036 and M23028 did not show binding to CD20. SIRPα binding was equal or superior to tetravalent SIRPα regardless of valency (FIG. 8).ELISA and Biacore™ Binding Assays

[0499] To determine whether the multi-specific antibodies could bind to their target antigens, CD19, CD20, and CD47, binding assays were performed using Biacore™. Biacore™ further confirmed that the novel multi-specific antibodies could engage their target antigens as shown in Table 4. Table 4 shows that target engagements by M23032 and M23034 were reduced whencompared to other tri-specific antibodies. Additional analyses confirmed that these tri-specific antibodies bound CD20+CD 19' CD47- cells. Thus, the weak binding observed in the Biacore™ assay could be due to the format and antigen in micelle.

[0500] Most tri-specific antibodies M23032 (FIG. 22A), M23033 (FIG. 22B), M23034 (FIG. 22C), M23036(FIG. 22D), M23037 (FIG. 22E), M23038 (FIG. 22F), M23045 (FIG. 22D)) bound to their target antigens (CD19; CD20, and CD47) on Raji cells. Unexpectedly, M23032 and M23034 (C -terminal fusions) showed reduced binding to CD20.

[0501] To further determine whether the multi-specific antibody design impacted individual binding domains (CD 19, CD47 and CD20) due to steric hindrance, ELISA assays were performed (Table 5). ELISA was performed using CD19 / CD47 antibodies and detected by HRP- anti-Fc. As shown in FIGs. 23A-E, all samples retained CD47 and CD 19 binding regardless of the number of antigens expressed by the cells.

[0502] To determine whether target engagement or binding was affected by the location of the binding entities (e.g., scFv), binding assays were performed using wild-type Raji cells, Raji cells expressing CD19 only, Raji cells expressing CD20 only, or Raji cells expressing CD47 only. The effect of a single target binding on the activity of the tri-specific antibodies is shown in FIGs. 23A-E. The binding of M23032, M23034, and M23045 on WT Raji cells (FIG. 23A), Raji cells expressing CD19 only (FIG. 23B), Raji cells expressing CD20 only (FIG. 23D), or Raji cells expressing CD47 only (FIG. 23C) were substantially the same. In addition, when compared tocontrol (M23026, M23027, and a tetravalent SIRPα-Fc fusion molecule were used as controls). Unexpectedly, M23045 showed the highest binding affinity to CD 19 or CD20 when compared to M23032 and M23034. Unexpectedly, M23045 showed the highest binding affinity to CD19 or CD20 when compared to M23032 and M23034. M23045 was shown to be an interesting molecule among the BCL molecules (multi-specific antibodies). FIG. 23E shows that tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD20 scFv attached to N-terminal of light chain (e.g., M23037 or M230 45) showed superior binding to Raji-CD20 cells when compared to tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD20 scFv attached to the Fc region (e.g., M23032 or M23034) in binding to the target. Binding of the tri-specific antibodies to only one of the three target antigens did not appear to affect the activity of the tri-specific antibodies.PBMC killing Assay

[0503] The objective for designing a tri-specific anti-CD19 / anti-CD20 / and SIRPct tri-was to target and kill B cell lymphoma cells for treating the cancer.

[0504] The surface expression of the CD19, CD20 and CD47 (i.e., target antigens) on BCL and BCL’s responsiveness to the tri-specific antibodies can be affected by prior or concurrent cancer therapies. This is because lymphoma patients who will receive the therapy would most likely undergo or had undergone through anti-CD20 and / or anti-CD19 based therapies. As such,experiments were performed to confirm that the novel tri-specific antibodies disclosed herein were active against primary lymphoma cells.

[0505] Initially, the relative surface expression of CD 19, CD20, and CD47 on primary B-cells, B-cell Lymphoma patient’s B-cells, and Raji cells were assessed. As shown in FIGs. 9A-C, Raji cells expressed high levels of all three antigens CD 19 (FIG. 9A); CD20 (FIG. 9B), and CD47 (FIG. 9C). The surface expression of CD19 and CD20 was low on primary B cells and B-cells from BCL patient (FIGs. 9A-B). However, the surface expression of CD47 appeared to be higher on primary B cells and B-cells from BCL patient when compared to CD 19 and CD20 expression (FIG. 9C). But the CD47 expression on primary B cells and B-cells from BCL patient remained lower when compared to the expression observed on Raji cells. EC50

[0506] The cytotoxic effects of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies on Raji cells and Human PBMC were then evaluated as shown in FIGs. 10A-D. The percentage of dead Raji Cells (FIG. 10A), the percentage of normal B cell depletion (FIG. 10B), and the percentage of normal B cell count (FIG. 10C) showed that the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies effectively bound to and killed Raji cells and primary human B cells. The binding of M23034 was higher than (>) M23032 > M23037 > M23045 > M23038 > M23033. Unexpectedly, two anti-CD20 tri-specific molecules (M23033 and M23038) showed slightly reduced killing. Table 6 shows the EC50and EC90of the binding of each of the tri-specific antibodies. FIG. 10C furthershows the killing of the anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 tri-specific antibodies using B cells from a second donor (Donor 10), which showed substantially similar results as FIG. 10B. However, the binding of M23032 was higher than (>) M23034 > M23036 > M23037 > M23045 > M23038 > M23033.

[0507] The percentage of dead B Cell Lymphoma (BCL) cells following exposure to M23027, M23026, M23028, M23029, M23032, M23033, M23034, M23035, M23038, M23042, S1819, or S1820 in the presence of healthy donor PBMCs is quantified in FIG. 10D. In particular, FIG. 10D shows that all tested anti-CD19 / CD20 / SIRPα tri-specific antibodies induced primary lymphoma cells killing.

[0508] As noted herein, the cytotoxic activity of tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD20 Fab was slightly reduced when compared to tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD 19 Fab (FIGs. 10A-C). Conversely, tri-specific antibodies comprising CD19 Fab constructs showed enhanced cytotoxic activity when compared those comprising CD20 Fab construct for both Raji cell killing and normal B cell depletion.

[0509] These results confirmed that the tri-specific antibodies were active against primary lymphoma cells. Furthermore, the results showed that the addition of SIRPα to target CD47 on lymphoma cells enhanced the activity of the tri-specific antibodies when compared to mono- specific antibodies and bi-specific antibodies. Thereby validating the rationale to include SIRPα in the multi-specific antibody designs.Cynomolgus macaque (Cyno) PBMCs

[0510] Furthermore, the tri-specific antibodies induced strong B cell depletion in cynomolgus macaque PBMCs as shown by the depletion of B cells when exposed to M23027, M23026, M23028, M23029, M23032, M23033, M23034, M23035, M23038, M23042, M23045, S1819, S1820; or a trivalent SIRPα-Fc chimeric fusion protein. In that assay, no binding to CD20 was observed for M23035, and M23042.

[0511] To assess the killing of the tri-specific antibodies on cyno PBMCs, fresh cyno whole blood were incubated with or without M23032, M23034, M23037, M23045, M23036, M23038,M23033, M23026, M23027, M23030, or S 1819 for 24 hours (FIG. 13A). Following the incubation, the cells were stained with various markers to determine live / dead cells, CD3+cells, and / or CD40+cells using flow cytometry (FIG. 13A). The results of the cyno B cells in whole blood ex vivo assay are shown in FIGs. 13B-D.

[0512] FIG. 13B shows the effectiveness and ranking of selected tri-specific antibodies. M23032 and M23034 showed significantly higher B-cell depletion compared to other tested tri- specific antibodies (FIG. 13B). In the B-cell depletion assay, the tri-specific antibodies were ranked as follows: M23032 > M23034 > M23037 > M23045 > M23036 > M23038 > M23033 > S1819. Unexpectedly, the B-cell depletion induced by M23033 and M23038 did not show any significant difference when compared to a control mono-specific antibody (M23026). This result was unexpected because M23033 and M23038 had higher killing efficacy in the ADCC assay in FIGs. 12A-C.

[0513] In addition, the tri-specific antibodies containing CD19 Fab showed a significantly higher B cell depletion when compared to tri-specific antibodies containing CD20 Fab. FIG. 13C shows the effectiveness of tri-specific antibodies containing CD19 Fab at depleting B-cells and demonstrating that M23032, M23034, and M23045 significantly enhanced B cell depletion when compared to the control mono-specific antibodies (M23026 or M23027). FIG. 13D shows the effectiveness of tri-specific antibodies containing CD20 Fab at depleting B-cells and demonstrating that M23033, and M23038 enhanced B cell depletion. However, B-cell depletion with CD20 Fab containing tri-specific antibodies were not similar to B-cell depletion induced by CD 19 Fab containing tri-specific antibodies.Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC) assay

[0051] Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) are two important cell killing mechanisms of antibody drugs. To further demonstrate the cytotoxic profile, anti-tumor activity, or killing properties of the multi-specific antibody designs, a Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC) assay was performed using Raji cells in the presence of 25% human serum.

[0515] CDC is mediated by the Cl complex-initiated complement activation that leads to anaphylatoxin generation and deposition of C3b fragments on the target cells. C3b, together with C4b and C2a, constitute the C5 convertase (C4b2a3b) which in turn cleaves C5 to C5a and C5b. C5b then takes part in the production of the C5b-C6-C7-C8-C9 complex, which is the subunit component of the membrane attack complex (MAC). MAC formation on the target cell’s surface results in subsequent cell lysis. As cancer therapeutic antibodies activate the typical complement pathway, they induce the production of MAC on cancer cells, thus causing the killing of cancer cells through CDC.

[0516] The tested tri-specific antibodies (e.g., M23034, M23045, M23036, M23032, and M23033) (FIG. 11A) killed Raji cells in CDC assay with Raji cells and human serum. All tested tri-specific antibodies e.g., M23034, M23045, M23036, M23032, and M23033) killed Raji cells with similar efficiency in the CDC assay, but the killing efficiency of M23034 was higher (>) than M23045 > M23036 > M23032 > M23033. The tri-specific antibodies also showed stronger killing efficiency when compared to control (Isotype control (Iso) or when using heat inactivated human serum (HA)) or bi-specific antibodies (M23026, M23027, M23028, M23029). (FIG. 11 A vs FIG. B)Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)

[0517] ADCC is very important for the in vivo efficacy of many multi-specific antibodies (e.g., bispecific IgGs and Fc-containing bispecific antibodies). To determine if the multi-specific designs disclosed herein could efficiently induce ADCC, an ADCC killing assay on Raji cells was performed. FIG. 12A shows a graph demonstrating the killing profiles of the multi-specific antibodies in the presence Natural Killer Cells (NK) at Target : Effector ratio of 1 :5. Specifically, Raji cells (CTV-labeled) were seeded in 96-well plates, incubated with serially diluted tri- specific antibodies or controls, co-cultured with NK cells in 1 :5 (Target : Effector) ratio for 24h. The cells were then stained with Zombie NIR™ live / dead and hu anti-IgG-FC and data were obtained by flow cytometry.

[0518] As shown in FIG. 12A-B, the ADCC of the anti-CD19 / anti-CD20 tri-specific antibodies showed that most tri-specific antibodies showed similar binding affinity ( EC50) to Raji. Inparticular, tri-specific antibodies comprising CD20 Fab showed superior max killing. M23033 and M23038 showed the best ADCC activity (perhaps because of the availability of more CD20 binding sites) when compared to M23032, M23034, M23036, M23045, and M23037. The affinity of tri-specific antibodies comprising a CD19 Fab (M23032 and M23034) also showed very high ADCC activity, which was weakly less than M23033 and M23038. The killing EC 50 of the control antibodies was 1.510 (M23027); 1.070 (M23026); 4.720 (1051 -bivalent SIRPα-Fc chimeric fusion protein). The killingEC50of the tri-specific antibodies was 0.1233 (M23032), 0.05528 (M23034); 0.07260 (M23033); 0.06588 (M23038); and 0.1788 (M23045). Indeed, most tri-specific antibodies had double or low triple digit pMEC50. Unexpectedly, Raji cells had 5- fold higher expression of CD20 compared to CD 19. FIG. 12C further shows anti-CD19 / anti- CD20 tri-specific antibodies and their respective ADCCEC50values on Raji cells.

[0519] There was no difference in the killing efficacy between in house CD20-Fc (M23026) and commercial CD20-Fc (M23030). However, both performed better than the purchased Rituximab. The addition of SIRPα on the C-terminal of heavy chain of the CD20-Fab resulted in higher killing efficacy than when the SIRPα was fused to the C-terminal of Fc. TheEC50was 0.2980 (M23026), 0.2375 (M23030), 0.03388 (M23033), 0.04955(M23038), and 0.02685 (Rituximab). Conversely, the fusion of the CD 19 scFv on the C-terminal of the Fc fragment resulted in better killing efficacy than on the C-terminal of heavy chain of CD20-Fab.

[0520] Purchased Rituximab (from CHO cell line) showed slightly higher killing potency due to differences in the glycosylation which can impact Fc gamma receptor binding. M23035 bound cells at lower affinity (EC50of 0.2829) which correlated with the killing efficacy. The SIRPα at the N-terminal of CD20-Fab may have contributed to the receptor binding. M23034 bound cells with EC50of 0.0.06969. Thus, M23034 bound at higher affinity as well as showed higher killing efficacy. In the same assay, the EC 50 of Rituximab (mono-specific antibody) was 0.01899; and theEC50of Bivalent SIRPα WT was 1.118.

[0521] M23036 and M2303, which comprise a tetravalent SIRPα bound with higher affinity as well as showed higher killing efficacy when compared to control. TheEC50of M23036 was 0.1172; and the EC50of M23037 was 0.5339. A tri-specific antibody comprising SIRPα at bothN- and C-terminal (M23036) showed slightly better killing potency at lower concentrations than a tri-specific antibody comprising all four molecules at the C-terminal (M23037). In the same assay, the EC50of Rituximab (mono-specific antibody) was 0.001470; and the EC50 of tetravalent SIRPα WT was 0.1420.

[0522] FIGs. 21A-D further show that the ADCC induced by M23038 (FIGs. 21A-B) and the binding of M23038 on Raji cells (FIGs. 21C-D). The ADCC of M23038 was assessed as a purified protein, aggregated of proteins (FIG. 21A), or mRNA Sup (FIG. 21B). The ADCC EC50was 0.04131 (purified protein), 0.03052 (aggregated protein), and 0.08355 (mRNA Sup). The mRNA sup was used at a starting concentration of about lOnM because the concentration was relatively low.

[0523] These data show that the multi-specific antibodies disclosed herein efficiently killed tumor cells.Example 3: RBC and T-cell Binding -Off-Target CellsThe tri-specific antibodies did not bind to human RBCs

[0524] To determine the selectivity of the tri-specific antibodies for B cells and assess the off- target effects, the binding of the tri-specific antibodies to Red blood cells and T cells were assessed. Specifically, RBCs were seeded in 96-well plate. Serially diluted molecules (tri- specific antibodies, Rituximab, Iso control or SIRPα-Fc bivalent molecule) were added to the cells and incubated as shown in FIG. 14A. The RBCs were washed and stained with human anti- IgG-FC and analyzed by flow cytometry. The data were graphed as mean fluorescence intensity.

[0525] FIGs. 14A-C shows graphs quantifying the binding of the tri-specific antibodies to human red blood cells (RBCs). FIG. 14A shows that none of the tested multi-specific molecules showed binding in human RBCs. In particular, the tri-specific antibodies did not bind to human RBCs. 1054 is a SIRPα-bivalent high affinity Fc...
