REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING SUMBITTED ELECTRONICALLY

[0002] The content of the electronically submitted sequence listing (Name: 4503_028PC06_SequenceListing_ST26.xml; Size: 174,405 bytes; and Date of Creation: January 27, 2025) is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

[0003] The present disclosure relates to antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to human CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc). These antigen-binding domains can cross the blood brain barrier and can transport other agents (e.g., therapeutically active agents) associated with the antigen-binding domain across the blood brain barrier. BACKGROUND

[0004] Passive transfer of substances from blood to brain is restricted by the blood brain barrier (BBB). The BBB provides precise control of central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis allowing for proper neuronal function and also protecting neural tissue from toxins and pathogens. Alterations of the BBB are an important component of pathology and progression of different neurological diseases. However, the BBB poses a problem with regard to delivering therapeutics to the CNS. While recombinant proteins and antibody therapeutics have shown much success outside the CNS, such biologics do not cross the BBB efficiently. As a result, delivery of some therapeutics to the CNS has relied on injection of the therapeutic directly into the CNS. However, such injections are invasive procedures that have efficacy that is limited by the rapid export of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) containing the therapeutic from the brain to the blood. Alternatively, atherapeutic intended for the CNS may be administered systemically at a high dose to allow for sufficient penetration of the BBB by the therapeutic. However, this approach may result in unintended effects due to the high dose in the periphery or increased manufacturing and formulation burdens to achieve the high dose. Accordingly, improved products and methods for delivering therapeutics across the BBB are needed. SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual 3d edition (2001) Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (F.M. Ausubel, et al. eds., (2003); Monoclonal Antibodies: A Practical Approach (P. Shepherd and C. Dean, eds., Oxford University Press, 2000). Definitions

Examples of such antigens include, without limitation: beta-secretase 1 (BACE1), amyloid beta (Abeta),epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), tau, apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4), alpha-synuclein, CD20, huntingtin, prion protein (PrP), leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), parkin, presenilin 1, presenilin 2, β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase or GBA), progranulin (PGRN), Prosaposin (PSAP), gamma secretase, death receptor 6 (DR6), amyloid precursor protein (APP), p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R), TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1), interleukin 1 beta (IL1β)), caspase 6, sortilin (SORT), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), CD33 or sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3 (Siglec3), sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 5 (Siglec5), sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 7 (Siglec7), sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 9 (Siglec9), glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB), Paired immunoglobin like type 2 receptor alpha (PILRA), Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A4A (MS4A4A), Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A 6A (MS4A6A), ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A), or Transmembrane Protein 106B (TMEM106b).

[0178] A “brain antigen” is a CNS antigen expressed in the brain.

[0179] The terms “CD98hc,” “CD98hc polypeptide,” and “CD98hc protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to any native CD98hc from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans and cynomolgus monkeys (cynos)) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. CD98hc is also referred to as 4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain, 4F2hc, 4F2 heavy chain antigen, lymphocyte activation antigen 4F2 large subunit, solute carrier family 3 member 2, and CD98. CD98hc protein is encoded by the SLC3A2 gene and is part of the large amino acid transporter (LAT) complex. In some aspects, the term encompasses both wild-type sequences and naturally occurring variant sequences, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. In some aspects, the term encompasses “full-length,” unprocessed CD98hc, as well as any form of CD98hc that results from processing in the cell. In some aspects, the CD98hc is human CD98hc. As used herein, the term “human CD98hc” refers to a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 43.

[0180] As used herein, the terms “antibody” and “immunoglobulin” are used interchangeably and refer to an antibody molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing (e.g., a glycoprotein), through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. The term “antibody” encompasses monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, multi-specific (e.g., bi- specific) antibodies, and any other immunoglobulin molecule so long as the antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity. An antibody can be of any the five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, or subclasses (isotypes) thereof (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), based on the identity of their heavy-chain constant regions referred to as alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma, and mu, respectively. The different classes of antibodies have different and well-known subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations. For the structure and properties of the different classes of antibodies, see, e.g., Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th Ed., Daniel P. Stites, Abba I. Terr and Tristram G. Parslow (eds.), Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, CT, 1994, page 71 and Chapter 6.

[0181] The terms “anti-CD98hc antibody,” “antibody that binds to CD98hc,” and “antibody that specifically binds CD98hc” refer to an antibody that is capable of binding CD98hc with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and / or therapeutic agent in targeting CD98hc. In one aspect, the extent of binding of an anti-CD98hc antibody to an unrelated, non-CD98hc polypeptide is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to CD98hc as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain aspects, an antibody that binds to CD98hc has a dissociation constant (KD) of < 10 μΜ, < 1 μΜ, < 100 nM, < 10 nM, < 1 nM, < 0.1 nM, < 0.01 nM, or < 0.001 nM (e.g., 10-8M or less, e.g., from 10-8M to 10-13M, e.g., from 10-9M to 10-13M). In certain aspects, an anti-CD98hc antibody binds to an epitope of CD98hc that is conserved among CD98hc from different species.

[0182] The term “antibody fragment” refers to a portion of an antibody. An “antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody refers to a portion of an antibody that binds to an antigen. An antigen- binding fragment of an antibody can comprise the antigenic determining regions of an antibody (e.g., the complementarity determining regions (CDRs)). Examples of antigen-binding fragmentsof antibodies include, but are not limited to Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, and single chain antibodies. An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody can be monovalent or multi-valent (e.g., bi-valent). An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody can be monospecific or multi-specific (e.g., bi-specific.) An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody can be derived from any animal species, such as rodents (e.g., mouse, rat, or hamster) and humans or can be artificially produced.

[0183] An “antigen-binding domain” or “antigen-binding region” refers to a monovalent portion of an antibody that binds to an antigen. An “antigen-binding domain” can comprise the antigenic determining regions of an antibody (e.g., the complementarity determining regions (CDRs)). An antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (including mono-specific and multi- specific (e.g., bi-specific) antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof can comprise an antigen-binding domain.

[0184] The terms “anti-CD98hc antigen-binding domain,” “antigen-binding domain that binds to CD98hc,” “anti-CD98hc antigen-binding region,” “antigen-binding region that binds to CD98hc,” and “CD98hc binding domain” refer to an antigen-binding domain that binds to CD98hc with sufficient affinity such that the antigen-binding domain is useful for targeting CD98hc and / or useful as a diagnostic agent, a therapeutic agent, or for transporting a molecule or compound across the BBB. In one aspect, the extent of binding of an anti-CD98hc antigen- binding domain to an unrelated, non-CD98hc polypeptide is less than about 10% of the binding of the antigen-binding domain to CD98hc as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain aspects, an antibody that binds to CD98hc has a dissociation constant (KD) of < 0.1 μΜ, < 1 μΜ, <10 μM, < 100 nM, < 10 nM, < 1 nM, < 0.1 nM, < 0.01 nM, or < 0.001 nM (e.g., 10-8M or less, e.g., from 10-8M to 10-13M, e.g., from 10-9M to 10-13M). In certain aspects, an anti- CD98hc antigen-binding domain binds to an epitope of CD98hc that is conserved among CD98hc from different species.

[0185] The terms “full-length antibody,” “intact antibody” or “whole antibody” are used interchangeably to refer to an antibody in its substantially intact form, as opposed to an antibody fragment. Specifically, whole antibodies include those with heavy and light chains including an Fc region. The constant regions can be native sequence constant regions (e.g., human native sequence constant regions) or amino acid sequence variants thereof. In some cases, the intact antibody can have one or more effector functions. The C-terminal lysine (residue 447 according to the EU numbering system) of an intact antibody can be removed, for example, during production or purification of the antibody, or by recombinantly engineering the nucleic acidencoding a heavy chain of the antibody. Accordingly, a composition of “full-length antibodies,” “intact antibodies,” or “whole antibodies” can comprise antibody populations with all K447 residues removed, antibody populations with no K447 residues removed, and antibody populations having a mixture of antibodies with and without the K447 residue.

[0186] “Native IgG antibodies” are usually heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 Daltons, composed of two identical light (“L”) chains and two identical heavy (“H”) chains. Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide linkages varies among the heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intra-chain disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain (VH) followed by a number of constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain at one end (VL) and a constant domain at its other end; the constant domain of the light chain is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is aligned with the variable domain of the heavy chain. Particular amino acid residues are believed to form an interface between the light chain and heavy chain variable domains.

[0187] Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called “Fab” fragments, and a residual “Fc” fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. The Fab fragment consists of an entire light chain along with the variable region domain of the heavy chain (VH), and the first constant domain of one heavy chain (CH1). Each Fab fragment is monovalent with respect to antigen binding, i.e., it has a single antigen-binding site. Pepsin treatment of an antibody yields a single large F(ab’)2fragment which roughly corresponds to two disulfide linked Fab fragments having different antigen-binding activity and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. Fab’ fragments differ from Fab fragments by having a few additional residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab’-SH is the designation herein for Fab’ in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab’)2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab’ fragments which have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.

[0188] The Fc fragment comprises the carboxy-terminal portions of both heavy chains held together by disulfides. The effector functions of antibodies are determined by sequences in the Fc region, the region which is also recognized by Fc receptors (FcR) found on certain types of cells.

[0189] “Fv” is the minimum antibody fragment which comprises a complete antigen- recognition and -binding site. This fragment consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable region domain in tight, non-covalent association. From the folding of these two domains emanates six hypervariable loops (3 loops each from the H and L chain) that contribute the amino acid residues for antigen binding and confer antigen binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.

[0190] “Single-chain Fv” also abbreviated as “sFv” or “scFv” are antibody fragments that comprise the VH and VL antibody domains connected into a single polypeptide chain. In some aspects, the scFv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains, which enables the sFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding.

[0191] The term “diabodies” refers to small antibody fragments prepared by constructing sFv fragments (see preceding paragraph) with short linkers (about 5-10) residues) between the VH and VL domains such that inter-chain but not intra-chain pairing of the variable domains is achieved, thereby resulting in a bivalent fragment, i.e., a fragment having two antigen-binding sites. Bispecific diabodies are heterodimers of two “crossover” sFv fragments in which the VH and VL domains of the two antibodies are present on different polypeptide chains.

[0192] As used herein, the terms “variable region” or “variable domain” are used interchangeably and are common in the art. The variable region typically refers to a portion of an antibody, generally, a portion of a light or heavy chain, typically about the amino-terminal 110 to 120 amino acids or 110 to 125 amino acids in the mature heavy chain and about 90 to 115 amino acids in the mature light chain, which differ extensively in sequence among antibodies and are used in the binding and specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variability in a sequence is concentrated in those regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) while the more highly conserved regions in the variable domain are called framework regions (FR). Without wishing to be bound by any particular mechanism or theory, it is believed that the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for the interaction and specificity of the antibody with antigen. In some aspects, the variable region is a human variable region. In some aspects, the variable region comprises rodent or murine CDRs and human framework regions (FRs). In some aspects, the variable region is a primate (e.g., non- human primate) variable region. In some aspects, the variable region comprises rodent or murine CDRs and primate (e.g., non-human primate) framework regions (FRs). The term “Kabat numbering” and like terms are recognized in the art and refer to a system of numbering amino acid residues in the heavy and light chain variable regions of an antibody or an antigen-bindingfragment thereof. In certain aspects, CDRs can be determined according to the Kabat numbering system (see, e.g., Kabat EA & Wu TT (1971) Ann NY Acad Sci 190: 382-391 and Kabat EA et al., (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No.91-3242). Using the Kabat numbering system, CDRs within an antibody heavy chain molecule are typically present at amino acid positions 31 to 35, which optionally can include one or two additional amino acids, following 35 (referred to in the Kabat numbering scheme as 35A and 35B) (CDRH1), amino acid positions 50 to 65 (CDRH2), and amino acid positions 95 to 102 (CDRH3). Using the Kabat numbering system, CDRs within an antibody light chain molecule are typically present at amino acid positions 24 to 34 (CDRL1), amino acid positions 50 to 56 (CDRL2), and amino acid positions 89 to 97 (CDRL3). In some aspects, the CDRs of the antibodies described herein have been determined according to the Kabat numbering scheme. Chothia refers instead to the location of the structural loops (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol.196:901-917 (1987)). The end of the Chothia CDRH1 loop, when numbered using the Kabat numbering convention, varies between H32 and H34 depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places the insertions at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34). The AbM hypervariable regions represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops, and are used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software. In some aspects, the CDRs can be “contact” CDRs. The “contact” CDRs are based on an analysis of the available complex crystal structures. The residues from each of these CDRs are noted below. Loop Kabat AbM Chothia Contact L1 L24-L34 L24-L34 L26-L32 L30-L36 L2 L50-L56 L50-L56 L50-L52 L46-L55 L3 L89-L97 L89-L97 L91-L96 L89-L96 H1 H31-H35B H26-H35B H26-H32 H30-H35B (Kabat numbering) H1 H31-H35 H26-H35 H26-H32 H30-H35 (Chothia numbering) H2 H50-H65 H50-H58 H53-H55 H47-H58 H3 H95-H102 H95-H102 H96-H101 H93-H101

[0193] CDRs can comprise “extended CDRs” as follows: 24-36 or 24-34 (L1), 46-56 or 50-56 (L2), and 89-97 or 89-96 (L3) in the VL, and 26-35 (H1), 50-65 or 49-65 (H2), and 93-102, 94-102, or 95-102 (H3) in the VH. The variable-domain residues are numbered according to Kabat et al., supra, for each of these extended-CDR definitions.

[0194] The terms “VH” and “VH domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the heavy chain variable region of an antibody.

[0195] As used herein, the term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), and mu (µ), based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region, which give rise to IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes of antibodies, respectively, including subclasses of IgG, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Heavy chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. In some aspects, the heavy chain is a human heavy chain.

[0196] The terms “VL” and “VL domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the light chain variable region of an antibody.

[0197] As used herein, the term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., kappa (κ) or lambda (λ) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant regions. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. In some aspects, the light chain is a human light chain.

[0198] As used herein, the term “constant region” is a region of an antibody that is not the variable region of the antibody, e.g., a carboxyl terminal portion of a light and / or heavy chain which is not directly involved in binding of an antibody to antigen but which can exhibit various effector functions, such as interaction with the Fc receptor. The constant region of an immunoglobulin molecule generally has a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to an immunoglobulin variable domain. In certain aspects, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a constant region or portion thereof that is sufficient for antibody-dependent cell- mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).

[0199] A “constant domain” means a domain within a constant region that is capable of forming an immunoglobulin fold. Constant domains include the CH1, CH2, CH3, and CL domains.

[0200] The term “monoclonal” when referring to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof refers to a homogeneous antibody or antigen-binding fragment population involved in the highly specific recognition and binding of a single antigenic determinant, or epitope. This is in contrast to polyclonal antibodies that typically include different antibodies directed against different antigenic determinants. The term “monoclonal” antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof encompasses both intact and full-length monoclonal antibodies as well as antibodyfragments (such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv), single chain (scFv) mutants, fusion proteins or complexes comprising an antibody or antibody portion, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule comprising an antigen recognition site. Furthermore, a “monoclonal” antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof refers to such antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof made in any number of manners including but not limited to by hybridoma, phage selection, recombinant expression, and transgenic animals.

[0201] The term “chimeric” antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof refers to antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof wherein the amino acid sequence is derived from two or more species. Typically, the variable region of both light and heavy chains corresponds to the variable region of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof derived from one species of mammals (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, etc.) with the desired specificity, affinity, and capability while the constant regions are homologous to the sequences in antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof derived from another (usually human) to avoid eliciting an immune response in that species.

[0202] The term “humanized” antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof refers to forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies or antigen-binding fragments that are specific immunoglobulin chains, chimeric immunoglobulins, or fragments thereof that contain minimal non-human (e.g., murine) sequences. Typically, humanized antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are human immunoglobulins in which residues from the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) are replaced by residues from the CDRs of molecule originating from a non-human species (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster) that have the desired specificity, affinity, and capability (“CDR grafted”) (Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534-1536 (1988)). The humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be further modified by the substitution of additional residues either in the Fv framework region and / or within the replaced non-human residues to refine and optimize the specificity, affinity, and / or capability of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. In general, the humanized antibody or antigen- binding fragment thereof will comprise VH and VL that comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two or three, of the CDR regions that correspond to the non-human immunoglobulin, whereas all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region or Fc region, typically that of a human immunoglobulin. Examples of methods used to generate humanizedantibodies are described in U.S. Pat.5,225,539; Roguska et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 91(3):969-973 (1994), and Roguska et al., Protein Eng.9(10):895-904 (1996). In some aspects, a “humanized antibody” is a resurfaced antibody.

[0203] The term “human” antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof means an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof having an amino acid sequence derived from a human immunoglobulin gene locus, where such antibody or antigen-binding fragment is made using any technique known in the art. This definition of a human antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof includes intact or full-length antibodies and fragments thereof.

[0204] “Framework” or “FR” residues are those variable-domain residues other than the CDR residues as herein defined.

[0205] An “acceptor human framework” as used herein is a framework comprising the amino acid sequence of a VL or VH framework derived from a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework. An acceptor human framework “derived from” a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework can comprise the same amino acid sequence thereof, or it can comprise pre-existing amino acid sequence changes. In some aspects, the number of pre-existing amino acid changes are 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less. Where pre-existing amino acid changes are present in a VH, in some aspects those changes occur at only three, two, or one of positions 71H, 73H and 78H; for instance, the amino acid residues at those positions can by 71A, 73T and / or 78A. In some aspects, the VL acceptor human framework is identical in sequence to the VLhuman immunoglobulin framework sequence or human consensus framework sequence.

[0206] A “human consensus framework” is a framework that represents the most commonly occurring amino acid residues in a selection of human immunoglobulin VLor VHframework sequences. Generally, the selection of human immunoglobulin VLor VHsequences is from a subgroup of variable domain sequences. Generally, the subgroup of sequences is a subgroup as in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5thEd. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991). Examples include for the VL, the subgroup can be subgroup kappa I, kappa II, kappa III or kappa IV as in Kabat et al., supra. Additionally, for the VH, the subgroup can be subgroup I, subgroup II, or subgroup III as in Kabat et al., supra.

[0207] An “amino-acid modification” at a specified position, e.g., of an antibody of the present disclosure, refers to the substitution or deletion of the specified residue, or the insertion of at least one amino acid residue adjacent the specified residue. Insertion “adjacent” to a specified residuemeans insertion within one to two residues thereof. The insertion can be N-terminal or C- terminal to the specified residue. In some aspects, an amino acid modification is a substitution.

[0208] Antibody “effector functions” refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region (a native sequence Fc region or amino acid sequence variant Fc region) of an antibody and vary with the antibody isotype.

[0209] As used herein, a “Fc region” or “fragment crystallizable region” is composed of two or more polypeptides, each being an antibody heavy chain fragment and each containing at least one (e.g., two or three) heavy chain constant domains. In some aspects, an Fc region is composed of two heavy chain fragments, each containing a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain. Although the boundaries of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain might vary, the human IgG heavy-chain Fc region is usually defined to stretch from an amino acid residue at position Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-terminus thereof. The C-terminal lysine (residue 447 according to the EU numbering system) of the Fc region can be removed, for example, during production or purification of the antibody, or by recombinantly engineering the nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain of the antibody. Accordingly, a Fc region may not contain any K447 residues, may contain at least one polypeptide containing a K447 residue, or may only contain polypeptides that include a K447 residue. Suitable native-sequence Fc regions for use in the present disclosure include human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. In a native antibody, an Fc region refers to the region of an antibody that interacts with cell surface receptors called Fc receptors and some proteins of the complement system. However, as used herein, an Fc region can be modified to increase, decrease, or eliminate interaction with Fc receptors and / or proteins of the compliment system. In native IgG, IgA and IgD antibody isotypes, the Fc region is composed of two identical protein fragments, derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody’s two heavy chains. However, as used herein, the two or more polypeptides in an “Fc region” do not need to have identical sequences. In some aspects, an “Fc region” comprises a first polypeptide comprising an Fc domain (e.g., IgG1 Fc domain) with a knob mutation and a second polypeptide comprising an Fc domain (e.g., IgG1 Fc domain) with a hole mutation. In native IgM and IgE antibody isotypes, the Fc region contains three heavy chain constant domains (CH domains 2–4) in each polypeptide chain.

[0210] The term “Fc domain” refers to one or more constant region domains within an Fc region, such as a CH2 or CH3 domain, in a single polypeptide. In some aspects, the Fc domain includes at least one amino acid deletion, addition, or substitution as compared to the amino acid sequence of a native Fc domain, such as by including a set of “knob-into-hole” deletions,additions, or substitutions or including amino acid deletions, additions, or substitutions to effect electrostatic steering of the Fc domain to favor attractive interactions among different polypeptide chains. In some aspects, the Fc domain is in a “knob” format. In some aspects, the Fc domain is in a “hole” format.

[0211] A “native sequence Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence identical to the amino acid sequence of an Fc region found in nature. Native sequence human Fc regions include a native sequence human IgG1 Fc region (non-A and A allotypes); native sequence human IgG2 Fc region; native sequence human IgG3 Fc region; and native sequence human IgG4 Fc region as well.

[0212] A “variant Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence which differs from that of a native sequence Fc region by virtue of at least one amino acid modification, in some aspects two or more amino acid substitution(s). In some aspects, the variant Fc region has at least one amino acid substitution compared to a native sequence Fc region or to the Fc region of a parent polypeptide, e.g., from about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, and in some aspects from about one to about five amino acid substitutions compared to a native sequence Fc region or in the Fc region of the parent polypeptide. In some aspects, the variant Fc region possesses at least 80% homology with a native sequence Fc region and / or with an Fc region of a parent polypeptide, at least 90% homology therewith, or at least 95% homology therewith.

[0213] “Fc receptor” or “FcR” describes a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. In some aspects, an FcR is a native sequence human FcR. In some aspects, a FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors, FcγRII receptors include FcγRIIA (an “activating receptor”) and FcγRIIB (an “inhibiting receptor”), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof. Activating receptor FcγRIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (“ITAM”) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor FcγRIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (“ITIM”) in its cytoplasmic domain. Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term “FcR” herein. FcRs can also increase the serum half-life of antibodies.

[0214] As used herein, a “complex” refers to one or more proteins comprising connected parts. The parts can be connected e.g., via a peptide bond (e.g., in a fusion protein), a linker (e.g., a peptide linker), or via noncovalent protein-protein interactions such as disulfide bonds (e.g., in anantibody). Exemplary parts that can be included in a complex include a protein useful for protein replacement therapy or an enzyme useful for enzyme replacement therapy, an antigen-binding domain, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to a CNS antigen, an antigen- binding domain than specifically binds to CD98hc, an Fc region, and / or an Fc domain. Accordingly, non-limiting examples of a “complex” comprising an antigen-binding domain and a protein or enzyme useful for replacement therapy include (a) a fusion protein comprising the antigen-binding domain and the protein or enzyme useful for replacement therapy in a single polypeptide chain (e.g., as shown in Figure 1A(i)), and (b) three proteins connected via noncovalent protein-protein interactions, wherein the first protein contains the protein or enzyme useful for replacement therapy and an Fc domain, the second protein contains a VH of the antigen-binding domain, and the third protein contains a VL of the antigen-binding domain (e.g., as shown in Figure 1A(iv)). Formats of other exemplary complexes are provided in Figures 1A, 1B, and 2.

[0215] “Binding affinity” generally refers to the strength of the sum total of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured and / or expressed in a number of ways known in the art, including, but not limited to, equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), and equilibrium association constant (KA). The KD is calculated from the quotient of koff / kon, whereas KAis calculated from the quotient of kon / koff. konrefers to the association rate constant of, e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to an antigen, and koffrefers to the dissociation rate constant of, e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof from an antigen. The kon and koff can be determined by techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art, such as BIAcore®or KinExA. Dissociation constants may also be determined through any analytical technique, including any biochemical or biophysical technique such as ELISA, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), bio-layer interferometry (see, e.g., Octet System by ForteBio), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), circular dichroism (CD), stopped- flow analysis, and colorimetric or fluorescent protein melting analyses. (See, e.g., Estep et al, (2013) MAbs 5(2):270-8.)

[0216] With regard to the binding of an antibody to a target molecule, the term “specific binding” or “specifically binds” or is “specific for” a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target means binding that is measurably different from a non-specific interaction. Specific binding can be measured, for example, by determining binding of a molecule compared to binding of a control molecule. For example, specific binding can be determined by competition with a control molecule that is similar to the target, for example, an excess of non-labeled target. In this case, specific binding is indicated if the binding of the labeled target to a probe is competitively inhibited by excess unlabeled target. The term “specific binding” or “specifically binds to” or is “specific for” a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target as used herein can be exhibited, for example, by a molecule having a KD for the target of about any of 10-4M or lower, 10-5M or lower, 10-6M or lower, 10-7M or lower, 10-8M or lower, 10-9M or lower, 10-10M or lower, 10-11M or lower, 10-12M or lower or a KD in the range of 10-4M to 10-6M or 10-6M to 10-10M or 10-7M to 10-9M. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, affinity and KD values are inversely related. A high affinity for an antigen is measured by a low KD value. In some aspects, the term “specific binding” refers to binding where a molecule binds to a particular polypeptide or epitope on a particular polypeptide without substantially binding to any other polypeptide or polypeptide epitope.

[0217] The term “linker” or “linked” refers to the covalent linkage between two polypeptides or two heterologous molecules. In some aspects, a linker is a chemical linker. In some aspects, the linker comprises a peptide bond, and the two polypeptides or two heterologous molecules are linked to each other either directly to or via one or more additional amino acids. A glycine linker is one that comprises one or more glycines but no other amino acids, e.g., GGGG (SEQ ID NO: 45). A glycine-rich linker is one that comprises one or more glycines and can contain other amino acids as long as glycine is the predominant species in the linker e.g., GGGNGG, wherein N is any amino acid (SEQ ID NO: 46). A glycine-serine linker is one which contains both glycine and serine in any proportion, e.g., GGGS (SEQ ID NO: 47). Similarly, a proline linker is one that comprises one or more prolines but no other amino acids. A proline-rich linker is one that comprises one or more prolines and can contain other amino acids so long as proline is the predominant species in the linker.

[0218] As used herein, “percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” and “homology” with respect to a peptide, polypeptide or antibody sequence refers to the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the specific peptide or polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary,to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as identical matches. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or MEGALIGNTM(DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms known in the art needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared.

[0219] The term “epitope” includes any determinant capable of being bound by an antibody. An epitope is a region of an antigen that is bound by an antibody that targets that antigen, and when the antigen is a polypeptide, includes specific amino acids that directly contact the antibody. Most often, epitopes reside on polypeptides, but in some instances, can reside on other kinds of molecules, such as nucleic acids. Epitope determinants can include chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl or sulfonyl groups, and can have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, and / or specific charge characteristics. Generally, antibodies specific for a particular target antigen will preferentially recognize an epitope on the target antigen in a complex mixture of polypeptides and / or macromolecules.

[0220] An antibody that “binds to the same epitope” as a reference antibody refers to an antibody that contacts the same amino acid residues on the antigen as the reference antibody. The ability of an antibody to bind to the same epitope as a reference antibody can be determined using peptide scanning mutagenesis or high throughput alanine scanning mutagenesis. In the latter methodology, a comprehensive mutation library of antigen, or a portion thereof (e.g., the extracellular domain), can be generated by mutating each individual amino acid residue to alanine (or if the amino acid residue is alanine, then to another residue such as serine) and testing each mutant for binding to a target antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[0221] An antibody is said to “competitively inhibit” binding of a reference antibody to a given epitope if it preferentially binds to that epitope or an overlapping epitope such that it blocks, to some degree, binding of the reference antibody to the epitope. Competitive inhibition can be determined by any method known in the art, for example, competition ELISA assays. An antibody can be said to competitively inhibit binding of the reference antibody to a given epitope by at least 90%, at least 80%, at least 70%, at least 60%, or at least 50%.

[0222] A polypeptide, antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is “isolated” is a polypeptide, antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is in aform not found in nature. Isolated polypeptides, antibodies, polynucleotides, vectors, cells or compositions include those which have been purified to a degree that they are no longer in a form in which they are found in nature. In some aspects, an antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is isolated is substantially pure.

[0223] As used herein, “substantially pure” refers to material which is at least 50% pure (i.e., free from contaminants), at least 90% pure, at least 95% pure, at least 98% pure, or at least 99% pure.

[0224] The term “expression system” refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules comprising coding sequence and control sequence(s) in operable linkage, along with a host cell and / or other in vitro transcription and translation machinery, such that one or more proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecule(s) are capable of being produced.

[0225] The term “vector,” as used herein, is intended to refer to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it has been linked. One type of vector is a “plasmid,” which refers to a circular double stranded DNA into which additional DNA segments can be ligated. Another type of vector is a phage vector. Another type of vector is a viral vector, wherein additional DNA segments can be ligated into the viral genome. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors). Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. Moreover, certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as “recombinant expression vectors,” or simply, “expression vectors.” In general, expression vectors of utility in recombinant DNA techniques are often in the form of plasmids. In the present specification, “plasmid” and “vector” can be used interchangeably as the plasmid is the most commonly used form of vector.

[0226] “Polynucleotide,” or “nucleic acid,” as used interchangeably herein, refer to polymers of nucleotides of any length, and include DNA and RNA. The nucleotides can be deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified nucleotides or bases, and / or their analogs, or any substrate that can be incorporated into a polymer by DNA or RNA polymerase or by a synthetic reaction.

[0227] A “host cell” includes an individual cell or cell culture that can be or has been a recipient for vector(s) for incorporation of polynucleotide inserts. Host cells include progeny of a single host cell, and the progeny may not necessarily be completely identical (in morphology orin genomic DNA complement) to the original parent cell due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutation. A host cell includes cells transfected in vivo with a polynucleotide(s) of this invention. In some aspects, the host cell is an isolated host cell.

[0228] “Carriers” as used herein include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers that are nontoxic to the cell or mammal being exposed thereto at the dosages and concentrations employed.

[0229] As used herein, the term “treatment” refers to clinical intervention designed to alter the natural course of the individual being treated during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include decreasing the rate of progression, ameliorating or palliating the pathological state, and remission or improved prognosis of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. An individual is successfully “treated”, for example, if one or more symptoms associated with a particular disease, disorder, or condition are mitigated or eliminated.

[0230] The terms “administer,” “administering,” “administration,” and the like, as used herein, refer to methods that can be used to deliver a drug, e.g., an anti-human antibody or antigen- binding fragment thereof, to the desired site of biological action.

[0231] An “effective amount” refers to at least an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result. An effective amount can be provided in one or more administrations. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the treatment are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include clinical results such as decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and / or prolonging survival. An effective amount of drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. As is understood in the clinical context, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an “effective amount” can be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent can be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result can be or is achieved.

[0232] As used herein, the terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably. The subject can be a mammal such as a non-human animal (e.g., cow, pig, horse, cat, dog, rat, mouse,monkey or other primate, etc.). In some aspects, the subject is a cynomolgus monkey. In some aspects, the subject is a human.

[0233] As used herein, administration “in conjunction” or “in combination” with another compound or composition includes simultaneous administration and / or administration at different times. Administration in conjunction also encompasses administration as a co- formulation or administration as separate compositions, including at different dosing frequencies or intervals, and using the same route of administration or different routes of administration. In some aspects, administration in conjunction is administration as a part of the same treatment regimen.

[0234] A “neurological disorder” as used herein refers to a disease or disorder which affects the CNS and / or which has an etiology in the CNS. Exemplary CNS diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to, neuropathy, amyloidosis, cancer, an ocular disease or disorder, viral or microbial infection, inflammation, ischemia, neurodegenerative disease, seizure, behavioral disorders, and a lysosomal storage disease.

[0235] A “Lysosomal storage disorder” or (LSD) as used herein refers to an inherited metabolic disease characterized by the accumulation of substrates, such as undigested or partially digested macromolecules, in excess in various cells of organs, which ultimately results in cellular dysfunction and clinical abnormalities. LSDs have been defined as deficiencies in lysosomal function generally classified by the accumulated substrate and include sphingolipidoses, oligosaccharidoses, mucolipidoses, mucopolysaccharidoses, lipoprotein storage disorders, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, and others. LSDs may also include other deficiencies or defects in proteins that result in accumulation of macromolecules, such as proteins necessary for normal post-translational modification of lysosomal enzymes, or proteins important for proper lysosomal trafficking. LSDs are diseases caused by defects in single genes. Enzyme defects cause nearly seventy percent of the LSDs, and the rest are defects in enzyme activator or associated proteins.

[0236] “Protein replacement therapy” or “PRT” refers to a medical treatment that supplements or replaces a protein in a patient in whom that particular protein is deficient or absent.

[0237] An “enzyme replacement therapy enzyme” or “ERT enzyme” refers to an enzyme that is deficient in a lysosomal storage disorder. An “ERT enzyme variant” refers to a functional variant, including allelic and splice variants, of a wild-type ERT enzyme or a fragment thereof, where the ERT enzyme variant has at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95% of the activity of thecorresponding wild-type ERT enzyme or fragment thereof, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions. A “catalytically active fragment” of an ERT enzyme refers to a portion of a full- length ERT enzyme or a variant thereof, where the catalytically active fragment has at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95% of the activity of the corresponding full-length ERT enzyme or variant thereof, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions.

[0238] As used herein, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used to modify a numeric value or numeric range, indicate that deviations of up to 10% above and down to 10% below the value or range remain within the intended meaning of the recited value or range. It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “about” or “approximately” a numeric value or range, otherwise analogous aspects referring to the specific numeric value or range are also provided.

[0239] As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, reference to an “antibody” is a reference to from one to many antibodies, such as molar amounts, and includes equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

[0240] It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “comprising,” otherwise analogous aspects described in terms of “consisting of” and / or “consisting essentially of” are also provided. In this disclosure, “comprises,” “comprising,” “containing” and “having” and the like can mean “includes,” “including,” and the like; “consisting essentially of” or “consists essentially of” are open-ended, allowing for the presence of more than that which is recited so long as basic or novel characteristics of that which is recited is not changed by the presence of more than that which is recited, but excludes prior art aspects. Anti-CD98hc Antigen-Binding Domains

[0241] Provided herein are antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to human CD98hc.

[0242] Such antigen-binding domains can be capable of crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB) and capable of transporting other agents (e.g., therapeutically active agents) associated with the antigen-binding domain across the BBB. Accordingly, in some aspects, provided herein are antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to human CD98hc that are capable of being internalized in BBB epithelial cells, such as HCMEC / D3 cells.

[0243] In some aspects, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc comprises the six CDRs of an antibody listed in Tables 9 and 10 (i.e., the three VH CDRs of theantibody listed in Table 9 and the three VL CDRs of the same antibody listed in Table 10) or an antibody listed in Tables 15 and 16 (i.e., the three VH CDRs of the antibody listed in Table 15 and the three VL CDRs of the same antibody listed in Table 16), or the six CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8 or 14.

[0244] In some aspects, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc comprises the six CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8 or 14. In some aspects, the CDRs of such an antigen-binding domain can be determined according to the Chothia numbering scheme, which refers to the location of immunoglobulin structural loops (see, e.g., Chothia C & Lesk AM, (1987), J Mol Biol 196: 901-917; Al-Lazikani B et al., (1997) J Mol Biol 273: 927-948; Chothia C et al., (1992) J Mol Biol 227: 799-817; Tramontano A et al., (1990) J Mol Biol 215(1): 175-82; and U.S. Patent No.7,709,226). Typically, when using the Kabat numbering convention, the Chothia CDR-H1 loop is present at heavy chain amino acids 26 to 32, 33, or 34, the Chothia CDR-H2 loop is present at heavy chain amino acids 52 to 56, and the Chothia CDR-H3 loop is present at heavy chain amino acids 95 to 102, while the Chothia CDR-L1 loop is present at light chain amino acids 24 to 34, the Chothia CDR-L2 loop is present at light chain amino acids 50 to 56, and the Chothia CDR-L3 loop is present at light chain amino acids 89 to 97. The end of the Chothia CDR-H1 loop when numbered using the Kabat numbering convention varies between H32 and H34 depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places the insertions at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34).

[0245] In some aspects, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc comprises the six Chothia CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8 or 14. In some aspects, such as an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc comprises one or more CDRs, in which the Chothia and Kabat CDRs have the same amino acid sequence. In some aspects, provided herein are antigen-binding domains that specifically binds to human CD98hc and comprise combinations of Kabat CDRs and Chothia CDRs.

[0246] In some aspects, the CDRs of an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc can be determined according to MacCallum RM et al., (1996) J Mol Biol 262: 732-745. See also, e.g., Martin A. “Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains,” in Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dübel, eds., Chapter 31, pp.422- 439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001). In some aspects, provided herein are antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to human CD98hc and comprise VH and VL CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8 or 14 as determined by the method in MacCallum RM et al.

[0247] In some aspects, the CDRs of an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc can be determined according to the AbM numbering scheme, which refers to AbM hypervariable regions, which represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops, and are used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software (Oxford Molecular Group, Inc.). In some aspects, provided herein are antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to human CD98hc and comprise VH and VL CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8, 13, 22 or 25 as determined by the AbM numbering scheme.

[0248] In some aspects, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc comprises the six IMGT CDRs of an antibody listed in Table 8 or 14 according to the IMGT numbering system as described in Lefranc M-P, (1999) The Immunologist 7: 132-136 and Lefranc M-P et al., (1999) Nucleic Acids Res 27: 209-212. According to the IMGT numbering scheme, VH-CDR1 is at positions 26 to 35, VH-CDR2 is at positions 51 to 57, VH-CDR3 is at positions 93 to 102, VL-CDR1 is at positions 27 to 32, VL-CDR2 is at positions 50 to 52, and VL-CDR3 is at positions 89 to 97.

[0249] In some aspects, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to human CD98hc provided herein is described by its VL domain alone, or its VH domain alone, or by its 3 VL CDRs alone, or its 3 VH CDRs alone. See, for example, Rader C et al., (1998) PNAS 95: 8910- 8915, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, describing the humanization of the mouse anti-αvβ3 antibody by identifying a complementing light chain or heavy chain, respectively, from a human light chain or heavy chain library, resulting in humanized antibody variants having affinities as high or higher than the affinity of the original antibody. See also Clackson T et al., (1991) Nature 352: 624-628, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, describing methods of producing antibodies that bind a specific antigen by using a specific VL domain (or VH domain) and screening a library for the complementary variable domains.

[0333] In some aspects provided herein, a complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein is a bi-specific complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein. Bi-specific molecules include, e.g., a kappa-lambda body, a dual-affinity re-targeting molecule (DART), a knob-in-hole antibody, a strand-exchange engineered domain body (SEEDbody), and a DuoBody. In some aspects, a bispecific complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein comprises a knob mutation and a hole mutation. In some aspects, the knob mutation comprises the amino acid substitution T366W according to EU numbering. In some aspects, the hole mutation comprises the amino acids substitutions T366S, L368A, and Y407V according to EU numbering.

[0334] In some aspects provided herein, a complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein comprises a mutation to promote heterodimerization of Fc regions. In some aspects, a dimerized Fc region of a bispecific provided herein is formed by Fc regions that contain amino acid mutations, substitutions, additions, or deletions to promote heterodimerization in which different polypeptides comprising different Fc domains can dimerize to yield a heterodimeric Fc region configuration. In some aspects, a bispecific of the present disclosure comprises a first Fc sequence comprising a first CH3 region, and a second Fc sequence comprising a second CH3 region, wherein the sequences of the first and second CH3 regions are different and are such that the heterodimeric interaction between said first and second CH3 regions is stronger than each of the homodimeric interactions of said first and second CH3 regions

[0335] Methods to promote heterodimerization of Fc domains include amino acid deletions, additions, or substitutions of the amino acid sequence of the Fc domain, such as by including a set of “knob-into-hole” deletions, additions, or substitutions or including amino acid deletions, additions, or substitutions to effect electrostatic steering of the Fc to favor attractive interactions among different polypeptide chains. Methods for promoting heterodimerization of complementary Fc polypeptides have been previously described in, for example, Ridgway et al, 1996, Protein Eng, 9:617-621; Merchant et al, 1998, Nature Biotechnol, 16:677-681; Moore et al, 2011, MAbs, 3:546-557; Von Kreudenstein et al, 2013, 5:646-654; Gunasekaran et al, 2010, J Biol Chem, 285:19637-19464; Leaver-Fay et al, 2016, Structure, 24:641-651; Ha et al, 2016, Frontiers in Immunology, 7:1; Davis et al, 2010, Protein Eng Des Sel, 23:195-202;WO1996 / 027011; WO1998 / 050431; WO2006 / 028936; WO2009 / 089004; WO2011 / 143545; WO2014 / 067011; WO2012 / 058768; WO2018 / 027025; US2014 / 0363426; US2015 / 0307628; US2018 / 0016354; US2015 / 0239991; US2017 / 0058054; USPN5731168; USPN7183076; USPN9701759; USPN9605084; USPN9650446; USPN8216805; USPN8765412; and USPN8258268.

[0336] In some aspects, complementary Fc polypeptides of an Fc heterodimer include a mutation to alter charge polarity across the Fc dimer interface such that co-expression of electrostatically matched Fc domains support favorable attractive interactions, thereby promoting desired Fc heterodimer formation; whereas unfavorable repulsive charge interactions suppress unwanted Fc homodimer formation (Guneskaran et al, 2010, J Biol Chem, 285:19637-19646). When co-expressed in a cell, association between the polypeptide chains is possible but the chains do not substantially self-associate due to charge repulsion.

[0337] Additionally, complementary Fc polypeptides of an Fc heterodimer include “knob-into- hole” configurations to promote heterodimerization of two Fc polypeptides. “Knob-into-hole” technology is described in e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.5,731,168; 7,695,936; 8,216,805; 8,765,412; Ridgway et al., Prot Eng 9, 617-621 (1996); and Carter, J Immunol Meth 248, 7-15 (2001). Generally, the method involves introducing a protuberance (“knob”) at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding cavity (“hole”) in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that the protuberance can be positioned in the cavity so as to promote heterodimer formation and hinder homodimer formation. Protuberances are constructed by replacing small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first polypeptide with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory cavities of identical or similar size to the protuberances are created in the interface of the second polypeptide by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g., alanine or threonine). The protuberance and cavity can be made by altering the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptides, e.g., by site-specific mutagenesis, or by peptide synthesis. In some aspects, a knob modification comprises the amino acid substitution T366W in one of the two subunits of the Fc domain, and the hole modification comprises the amino acid substitutions T366S, L368A and Y407V in the other one of the two subunits of the Fc domain. In some aspects, the subunit of the Fc domain comprising the knob modification additionally comprises the amino acid substitution S354C, and the subunit of the Fc domain comprising the hole modification additionally comprises the amino acid substitution Y349C. Introduction of these two cysteine residues results in the formation of a disulfide bridge between the two subunits of the Fc domain, thus further stabilizing the dimer (Carter, J Immunol Methods 248, 7-15 (2001)).Thus, in such configurations, a first Fc polypeptide comprises amino acid modifications to form the “knob” and a second Fc polypeptide comprises amino acid modifications to form the “hole” thus forming an Fc heterodimer comprising complementary Fc polypeptides.

[0338] Exemplary paired amino acid modifications of complementary Fc polypeptides of an Fc heterodimeric configuration are set forth below in the table below (EU numbering). Table 1: Exemplary paired Fc modifications for heterodimeric Fc domains

[0339] Some agents provided herein comprise antigen-binding fragments of antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab’, Fab’-SH, F(ab’)2, Fv, and scFv fragments, and other fragments described below. For a review of certain antibody fragments, see Hudson et al. Nat. Med.9:129-134 (2003). For a review of scFv fragments, see, e.g., WO 93 / 16185; and U.S. Patent Nos.5571894 and 5587458. For discussion of Fab and F(ab’)2fragments comprising salvage receptor binding epitope residues and having increased in vivo half-life, see U.S. Patent No.5869046.

[0340] Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites that can be bivalent and / or bispecific. See, for example, EP404097; WO 1993 / 01161; Hudson et al. Nat. Med.9:129- 134 (2003). Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson et al. Nat. Med.9:129-134 (2003). Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments comprising all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. Some aspects, a single-domain antibody is a human single-domain antibody (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6248516).

[0341] Antibody fragments can be made by various techniques, including but not limited to proteolytic digestion of an intact antibody as well as production by recombinant host cells (e.g., E. coli or phage), as described herein.

[0342] As provided herein, a complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein can be chimeric. Certain chimeric antibodies are described, e.g., in U.S. Patent No.4816567. In one example, a chimeric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In a further example, a chimeric antibody is a “class switched” antibody in which the class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody.

[0343] As provided herein, a complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein can be humanized. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized to reduce immunogenicity to humans, while retaining the specificity and affinity of the parental non-human antibody. In some aspects, a humanized antibody is substantially non-immunogenic in humans. In some aspects, a humanized antibody has substantially the same affinity for a target as an antibody from another species from which the humanized antibody is derived. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No.5530101, 5693761; 5693762; and 5585089. In some aspects, amino acids of an antibody variable domain that can be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the antigen-binding domain while reducing its immunogenicity are identified. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.5766886 and 5869619. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable domains in which CDRs (or portions thereof) are derived from a non-human antibody, and framework regions (FRs) (or portions thereof) are derived from human antibody sequences. A humanized antibody can comprise at least a portion of a human constant region. In some aspects, some FR residues in a humanized antibody are substituted with corresponding residues from a non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the CDR residues are derived), for example, to restore or improve antibody specificity or affinity.

[0344] Humanized antibodies and methods of making them are reviewed, for example, in Almagro et al. Front. Biosci.13:1619-1633 (2008), and are further described, e.g., in US Patent Nos.5821337, 7527791, 6982321, and 7087409. Human framework regions that can be used for humanization include but are not limited to: framework regions selected using the “best- fit” method (see, e.g., Sims et al. J. Immunol.151:2296 (1993)); framework regions derived from the consensus sequence of human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chain variableregions (see, e.g., Carter et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:4285 (1992); and Presta et al., J. Immunol.151 :2623 (1993)); human mature (somatically mutated) framework regions or human germline framework regions (see, e.g., Almagro and Fransson Front. Biosci.13:1619-1633 (2008)); and framework regions derived from screening FR libraries (see, e.g., Baca et al. J. Biol. Chem.272:10678-10684 (1997) and Rosok et al. J. Biol. Chem.271:22611-22618 (1996)).

[0345] As provided herein, a complex, fusion protein, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or multi-specific protein provided herein can be human. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are described generally in van Dijk et al. Curr. Opin. Pharmacol.5:368-74 (2001) and Lonberg Curr. Opin. Immunol. 20:450-459 (2008).

[0346] Human antibodies can be prepared by administering an immunogen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigenic challenge. One can engineer mouse strains deficient in mouse antibody production with large fragments of the human Ig loci in anticipation that such mice would produce human antibodies in the absence of mouse antibodies. Large human Ig fragments can preserve the large variable gene diversity as well as the proper regulation of antibody production and expression. By exploiting the mouse machinery for antibody diversification and selection and the lack of immunological tolerance to human proteins, the reproduced human antibody repertoire in these mouse strains can yield high affinity fully human antibodies against any antigen of interest, including human antigens. Using the hybridoma technology, antigen-specific human MAbs with the desired specificity can be produced and selected. Certain exemplary methods are described in U.S. Pat. No.5545807, EP 546073, and EP 546073. See also, for example, U.S. Patent Nos.6075181 and 6150584 describing XENOMOUSE™ technology; U.S. Patent No.5770429 describing HUMAB® technology; U.S. Patent No.7041870 describing K-M MOUSE® technology, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2007 / 0061900, describing VELOCIMOUSE® technology. Human variable regions from intact antibodies generated by such animals can be further modified, e.g., by combining with a different human constant region.

[0347] Human antibodies can also be made by hybridoma-based methods. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines for the production of human monoclonal antibodies have been described. (See, e.g., Kozbor J. Immunol.133:3001 (1984) and Boerner et al. J. Immunol.147:86 (1991)). Human antibodies generated via human B-cell hybridoma technology are also described in Li et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006). Additionalmethods include those described, for example, in U.S. Patent No.7189826 (describing production of monoclonal human IgM antibodies from hybridoma cell lines). Human hybridoma technology (Trioma technology) is also described in Vollmers et al. Histology and Histopathology 20(3) :927-937 (2005) and Vollmers et al. Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology 27(3):185-91 (2005). Human antibodies can also be generated by isolating Fv clone variable domain sequences selected from human-derived phage display libraries. Such variable domain sequences can then be combined with a desired human constant domain. Techniques for selecting human antibodies from antibody libraries are described below.

[0348] In some aspects provided herein, an antibody is a human antibody isolated by in vitro methods and / or screening combinatorial libraries for antibodies with the desired activity or activities. Suitable examples include but are not limited to phage display (CAT, Morphosys, Dyax, Biosite / Medarex, Xoma, Symphogen, Alexion (formerly Proliferon), Affimed) ribosome display (CAT), yeast display (Adimab), and the like. In certain phage display methods, repertoires of VH and VL genes are separately cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombined randomly in phage libraries, which can then be screened for antigen-binding phage as described in Winter et al. Ann. Rev. Immunol.12: 433-455 (1994). For example, a variety of methods are known in the art for generating phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies possessing the desired binding characteristics. See also Sidhu et al. J. Mol. Biol. 338(2): 299-310, 2004; Lee et al. J. Mol. Biol.340(5): 1073-1093, 2004; Fellouse Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34):12467-12472 (2004); and Lee et al. J. Immunol. Methods 284( -2):119- 132 (2004). Phage typically display antibody fragments, either as single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or as Fab fragments. Libraries from immunized sources provide high-affinity antibodies to the immunogen without the requirement of constructing hybridomas. Alternatively, the naive repertoire can be cloned (e.g., from human) to provide a single source of antibodies to a wide range of non-self and also self-antigens without any immunization as described by Griffiths et al. EMBO J.12: 725-734 (1993). Finally, naive libraries can also be made synthetically by cloning unrearranged V-gene segments from stem cells, and using PCR primers comprising random sequence to encode the highly variable CDR3 regions and to accomplish rearrangement in vitro, as described by Hoogenboom et al. J. Mol. Biol., 227: 381-388, 1992. Patent publications describing human antibody phage libraries include, for example: US Patent No. 5750373, and US Patent Publication Nos.2007 / 0292936 and 2009 / 0002360. Antibodies isolatedfrom human antibody libraries are considered human antibodies or human antibody fragments herein.

All citations throughout the disclosure are hereby expressly incorporated by reference. EXAMPLES Example 1: Production of Avi-His tagged variants of CD98 Heavy Chain (CD98hc)

[0402] To generate Avi-His tagged variants of the extra-cellular domain (ECD) of human, cynomolgus macaque (cyno), and mouse CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc), the following methods were used. Mammalian expression of human, cyno and mouse variants of BBB receptor antigens (SEQ ID NOs: 65-67) was performed by cloning synthetic genes based on cDNA intomammalian expression vectors, followed by transient transfection and expression in Expi293 cells. Constructs included a heterologous signal peptide and C-terminal Avi-His tag to allow for purification and biotinylation. Briefly, plasmids encoding the antigens were transfected using the Expifectamine 293 Transfection kit (ThermoFisher A14524) according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Five days after transfection, the culture supernatants were harvested, clarified by centrifugation, and purified using HisPur Ni-NTA resin (Thermo Scientific 88223) in a drip- column format.200mL of culture supernatant was filtered using 0.2 µm filtration unit and 3mL of resin slurry in PBS was added to the filtered supernatant. The sample was incubated overnight with shaking at 4ºC, and on the following day, the beads were loaded onto 20 mL drip columns, washed with 10 mL of His-Select wash buffer (Millipore Sigma H5288) and eluted with 5mL of His-Pur elution buffer (Millipore Sigma H5413). Eluate was buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon Ultra-15 centrifugal filter units (Millipore UFC9010). Quantification of the antibody concentration was determined by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm using the Nanodrop 8000 (ThermoFisher). Purity of the antigens was determined by SDS-PAGE. The antigens were analyzed with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for aggregation. Some antigens were biotinylated using a BirA biotin-protein ligase kit (AVIDITY), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Table 3. Avi-His tagged variants of CD98hc ECDExample 2: Production of CHO cell lines over-expressing CD98hc

[0403] Several cell lines were generated for screening the binding of anti-CD98hc antibodies, as described herein. Briefly, pLenti-EF1a constructs each expressing full length human CD98hc or mouse CD98hc (SEQ ID NOs: 68-69, respectively) were used to generate CHO cells stably expressing human CD98hc or mouse CD98hc. Lentiviral constructs (Genecopoeia) were used to express human CD98hc with puromycin selection and mouse CD98hc with GFP as a reporter. Lentivirus was generated from transfection of 293T cells using the ViraSafe™ Lentiviral Packaging System (CellBiolabs VPK-206). Subsequently, the supernatant containing lentivirus was used to transduce Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. At 2 days post transduction, puromycin was added to the medium as a selection pressure for the cells expressing human CD98hc. CHO cells expressing mouse CD98hc were FACS sorted for positive GFP signal on the FACS Aria system (BD Biosciences). The resulting CHO cells stably expressing human CD98hc and mouse CD98hc were analyzed for cell surface expression by flow cytometry.Table 4. Full Length CD98hc SequencesExample 3: Generation of CD98hc humanized mice

[0404] A humanized mouse line expressing the human extracellular domain of CD98hc was generated (Taconic Biosciences GmbH (Germany)). CRISPR was used to replace the mouse ECD with the human version, while retaining the mouse intracellular and transmembrane portions under the control of the mouse promoter. Brain slices from these mice were evaluated byIHC and / or Western Blot to confirm expression and localization of the human ECD in vivo (data not shown). Example 4: Generation of anti-CD98hc hybridoma antibodies

[0405] In order to obtain antibodies against CD98hc, the following procedures were used to generate hybridomas. BALB / c mice or Sprague Dawley rats (Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA) were immunized twice a week by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections of purified extracellular domain polypeptides of human, cyno, and / or mouse CD98hc (obtained as described above in Example 1) with or without adjuvant. After a total of 6-8 injections and three days following the final boost, the lymph nodes were harvested from the mice for hybridoma cell line generation.

[0406] Sera from the animals were analyzed for reactivity to CD98hc by FACS on CHO cells overexpressing human or mouse CD98hc (as obtained in Example 2) and by ELISA against human, cyno and mouse CD98hc Avi-His polypeptides (as described below). Lymphocytes from animals whose sera demonstrated strong binding to CHO cells overexpressing human or mouse CD98hc were isolated and fused with myeloma fusion partners to produce mouse hybridoma cells via electrofusion (Hybrimune, BTX, Holliston, MA) and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2, overnight in Clonacell-HY Medium C (Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada, Cat# 03803).

[0407] The fused hybridomas were recovered overnight, resuspended in ClonaCell-HY Medium C with anti-mouse IgG Fc-FITC and mixed into Clonacell-HY Medium D. The cells were plated into Nunc OmniTrays (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rochester, NY) and allowed to grow at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 8 days. The Clonepix 2 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) system was used to select and transfer IgG positive colonies into 96-well plates with high glucose DMEM culture media containing 10% Fetal Clone II serum (Hyclone SH30066.03, Cytiva, Malborough, MA), 1X GlutaMAX (Gibco 35050061, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and 20% Clonacell-HY Medium E (Stemcell Technologies, Cat# 03805).

[0408] In total, 531 IgG positive hybridoma clones were isolated. After six days of culture, tissue culture supernatants from the hybridomas were screened by FACS on CHO cells overexpressing human or mouse CD98hc (as described below).Example 5: Screening of anti-CD98hc antibody hybridoma supernatants by FACS

[0409] The IgG positive hybridoma supernatants were initially screened for their ability to differentially bind CHO cells overexpressing human or mouse CD98hc cells compared to CHO parental cells by FACS. Overexpressing cells were harvested, washed, and labeled with various concentrations and combinations of CellTrace cell proliferation dyes CFSE and Violet (ThermoFisher, Cat#C34554 and Cat#34557, respectively) to create uniquely barcoded cell populations. Barcoded cells were aliquoted into 96-well U-bottom plates and incubated with 50μl of hybridoma cell culture supernatant or 1μg / ml of commercially available purified mouse anti-human CD98hc monoclonal antibody (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# SAB 4700503) and rat anti- mouse CD98hc antibody (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, Cat# MCA2684) on ice for 30 minutes. After this primary incubation, the supernatants were removed via centrifugation, the cells were washed twice with 175μl of ice-cold FACS buffer (PBS + 1% FBS + 2mM EDTA), and the cells were then further incubated on ice for 20 minutes with anti-mouse IgG Fc- allophycocyanin (APC) or anti-rat IgG Fc-APC (Jackson Labs, Cat# 115-136-071 and Cat # 112- 136-071, respectively), diluted 1:1000 in FACS buffer. Following this secondary antibody incubation, the cells were again washed twice with ice-cold FACS buffer and resuspended in a final volume of 50μl of FACS buffer containing 0.25μl / well propidium iodide (BD Biosciences, Cat#556463). Binding intensity on cells was analyzed using the FACS Canto system (BD Biosciences), with sorting gates drawn to exclude dead (i.e., propidium iodide-positive) cells. For each barcoded cell population, the ratio of APC Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) divided by secondary antibody MFI was calculated for each anti-CD98hc hybridoma supernatant tested.

[0410] A total of 78 hybridoma clones displayed an MFI ratio greater than 2-fold for binding to CHO cells stably overexpressing human CD98hc.77 of these clones also bound with an MFI ratio greater than 5-fold for binding to HCMEC / D3 endothelial cells endogenously expressing human CD98hc. None of the hybridoma clones showed binding to CHO cells stably overexpressing mouse CD98hc. Data are shown in Table 5 for a subset of the FACS positive clones.Table 5. FACS MFI values of unique anti-CD98hc antibodies identified from hybridoma campaignsExample 6: Screening of anti-CD98hc antibody hybridoma supernatants by recombinant CD98hc protein binding assay

[0411] Hybridoma culture supernatants from 78 hybridomas (obtained from Example 5) were screened for their ability to bind Avi-His-tagged human, cyno, and mouse CD98hc (prepared as described in Example 1) and compared to binding to Avi-His-tagged human transferrin receptor (TfR), a control protein. Briefly, 96-well polystyrene plates were coated with 5µg / ml of streptavidin (Thermo Fisher, Cat# PI21125) in coating buffer (0.05M carbonate buffer, pH 9.6, Sigma, Cat# C3041) overnight at 4oC. Coated plates were then blocked with ELISA diluent (PBS + 0.5% BSA + 0.05% Tween20) for one hour. Blocking buffer was removed and human, cyno, or mouse Avi-His-tagged CD98hc and Avi-His-tagged human TfR polypeptides were added at 1µg / ml in ELISA diluent and captured for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing three times with 300μl of PBST (PBS + 0.05% Tween20, Thermo 28352), the hybridoma cell culture supernatants or 1μg / ml of commercially available purified mouse anti-human CD98hc monoclonal antibody (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# SAB 4700503) and rat anti-mouse CD98hc antibody (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, Cat# MCA2684) were added (50µl / well) to each well. After 30 minutes of incubation at room temperature, the plates were washed three times with 300μl of PBST. Anti-mouse IgG Fc-HRP or anti-rat IgG Fc-HRP (Jackson Immunoresearch, Cat#115-035-071 and 112-036-071, respectively) secondary antibodies were diluted 1:5000 in ELISA diluent, added to each well at 50μl / well, and incubated for 30 minutes at roomtemperature with shaking. After a final set of washes (3x300μl in PBST), 50μl / well of BioFx TMB substrate (Surmodics, Eden Praire, MN, Cat#TMBW-1000-01) was added to the wells. The reaction was then quenched after 5-10 mins with 50μl / well of 2N sulfuric acid. The plates were read for absorbance at 450nm on a SpectraMax M5 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) using SoftMax Pro software. ELISA data for selected antibodies is shown in Table 4 below.

[0412] From this hybridoma supernatant screen, all 78 of the anti-CD98hc hybridoma clones had OD450values greater than 0.45 to human and cyno CD98hc. None of the clones bound to mouse CD98hc.

[0413] Supernatants from the 78 anti-CD98hc hybridoma clones were purified using ProPlus Phytip columns (Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden, Cat# PTH 91-20-07) on a Hamilton STAR platform (Hamilton Company, Reno, NV). Briefly, antibodies from the supernatants were captured by protein A coupled on resin-packed tips, washed twice with PBS, eluted with Pierce IgG elution buffer (ThermoFisher, Cat# 21004), and neutralized with 1M Tris-HCl pH8 to a final pH of 6.0. The concentrations of the purified antibodies were determined by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm using the Nanodrop 8000 (ThermoFisher). Hybridoma purified antibodies were then tested for their ability to internalize into endothelial cells.

[0414] Internalization into endothelial cells at the blood-brain barrier is the first stage of transcytosis across the BBB and into the brain. To identify anti-CD98hc antibodies with ability tointernalize, HCMEC / D3 cells (a cell line derived from human brain endothelial cells; Weksler B. et al.) were seeded at 2.5*10^4 cells / well in a black wall clear bottom 96-well plate (#3904, Corning). The next day, cells were treated with 6 μg / ml of anti-CD98hc antibodies pre- conjugated with an equal concentration of pHrodo-Red labeling reagent (Z25612, Invitrogen) in 100 μl of culture medium (EBM2, Lonza). A human IgG isotype and an anti-CD98hc reference antibody with known internalization ability were included in the assay as negative and positive controls, respectively.

[0415] Plates were then placed into an IncuCyte machine (live-cell analysis system), and images were captured every 2 hours over a 24 hour time course. Images were then processed and analyzed using IncuCyte software. Internalization data at the 24 hour timepoint (pHrodo Red positive area µm2 / image) are shown in Table 5 as relative fold-change to isotype hIgG1. Table 7. Internalization fold-change of purified unique anti-CD98hc antibodies identified from hybridoma campaigns relative to isotype hIgG1Example 8: Molecular Cloning of Anti-CD98hc Antibodies

[0416] Anti-CD98hc antibodies from the 78 hybridomas described above were cloned as follows for recombinant expression. Anti-CD98hc antibodies were selected based on FACS positive data (described above in Example 5).1-2x105hybridoma cells were harvested, washed with PBS, and resuspended in 200μl of RNAlater (Invitrogen, Cat#. AM7021). Samples were stored at -80°C and sent to Abterra Biosciences (San Diego, CA) for RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and sequencing. Briefly, the variable regions of IgG / IgM, IgK, and IgL were amplified using proprietary primers in a 5’ RACE strategy. Hybridoma variable region amplicons were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Reads from the hybridomas were processed through Abterra’s Reptor analysis pipeline. Out of the 78 hybridoma clones, 63 had unique sequences.

[0417] Exemplary unique amino acid sequences of the variable heavy chains and variable light chains of anti-CD98hc antibodies are provided below in Table 8. Tables 9 and 10 provide theCDR sequences (Kabat) for each of the unique VH and VL sequences in Table 8. The antibody CD98hc.04.064.1e is a humanized version of CD98hc04.064, that was humanized in the manner described in Example 13. Table 8. Unique VH / VL sequences derived from hybridoma campaignsTable 9. CDR Heavy Chain sequences derived from hybridoma campaignsTable 10. CDR Light Chain sequences derived from hybridoma campaignsExample 9: Generation of Antibodies in mvFc-scFv Format

[0418] From the panel of 63 unique anti-CD98hc hybridoma clones, a subset of antibodies were selected for further reformatting based on various criteria: 1) the antibodies covered a broad range of affinities based on ELISA and FACS binding assays, 2) the antibodies covered a broad range of internalization and cell uptake activity, 3) the antibodies were phylogenetically diverse from each other within the hybridoma sequences obtained, and 4) the antibodies had similar binding kinetics to human and cyno CD98hc.

[0419] The variable regions of the selected clones were cloned into a monovalent Fc-scFv format (mvFc-scFv) as shown in Figure 2. The anti-CD98hc scFv VH and VL domains are connected by a 20 amino acid linker, GGSEGKSSGSGSESKSTGGS (SEQ ID NO: 48) (Bird et al, 1988), while the scFv is connected to the C-terminus of the mvFc by a 5 amino acid linker, GGSGG (SEQ ID NO: 52). Exemplary anti-CD98hc scFv amino acid sequences in the orientation VH-linker-VL are provided below in Table 11.

[0420] The cloning of the mvFc-scFv is described as follows. DNA sequences encoding the mvFc-scFv antibody were prepared by either expression construct synthesis (Twist Biosciences) or by gene synthesis and cloned into the expression vector pcDNA3.4 (ThermoFisher). The corresponding light chain expression constructs were also generated. Table 11. scFv Sequences of Humanized and Engineered antibodies

[0421] Recombinant antibodies were generated via transient transfection with Expi293 cells (ThermoFisher Scientific, #A14635) at 2x106cells / mL density with Expifectamine 293 / plasmid DNA complex according to manufacturer’s protocol (ThermoFisher Scientific). Clarified supernatants were harvested and purified using protein A affinity chromatography, and if necessary, further purified by cation exchange chromatography on an AKTA Pure (Cytiva) to remove product-related impurities. The purified antibodies were dialyzed into PBS, pH7.4. Analytical characterization was performed by absorbance at 280nm, CE-SDS, size-exclusion chromatography, and endotoxin measurement. Example 10: Affinity Characterization of mvFc-scFv Antibodies

[0422] Binding kinetics of anti-CD98hc mvFc-scFv antibodies to human and cyno CD98hc were evaluated using a Carterra LSA instrument (Carterra, Salt Lake City, UT). Briefly, a HC200M sensor chip was loaded with goat anti-human Fc antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Cat 109-005-098) via sulfo-NHS (Thermo Scientific 24510) / EDC (Thermo Scientific PG82079) coupling and remaining capture surfaces blocked with 1M Ethanolamine (Carterra, 3628). Anti- CD98hc mvFc-scFvs were captured onto individual spots on the sensor chip (n=4 spots per antibody). Eight serially diluted concentrations of human and cyno CD98hc (0.2 – 5000 nM) were injected over all spots for five minutes of association, followed by 10 minutes of dissociation with regeneration performed using 10mM glycine-HCl pH 1.7. Data was processed and analyzed using NextGenKIT high throughput kinetics analysis software (Carterra). The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) were calculated from the fitted association and dissociation rate constants. The values were combined, means and standard deviation calculated, and graphs prepared using GraphPad Prism. The KD values are summarized in Table 12 below.Table 12. Binding Affinities of Selected mvFc-scFv Variants to Human and Cyno CD98hcExample 11: Cell uptake of mvFc-scFv antibodies

[0423] To determine relevant cellular uptake and localization of anti-CD98hc antibodies, wild- type HCMEC / D3 cells were used in an acute 2-hour incubation study. Cells were seeded onto black 96-well plates (Revvity) and allowed to adhere for an additional 24-48 hours. Anti-CD98hc antibodies were then incubated at 200 nM or 40 nM at 37°C in HCMEC / D3 growth media.

[0424] After 2 hours, cells were washed with room temperature PBS and fixed with PFA. Cells were then washed with PBS followed by simultaneous permeabilization and block for 1 hour at RT. Secondary detection antibody (anti-human IgG AlexaFluor-488 or 647, Jackson ImmunoResearch) was incubated overnight at 4°C along with DAPI. The next day cells were washed 2x in PBS and imaged using the Operetta High Content Imaging system (Revvity). Mean fluorescent intensities (MFI) per cell or total area of signal per cell, per field, per well were quantified and recorded for relative comparisons between antibody variants. The MFI of each sample was normalized by subtracting the MFI of the isotype control.

[0425] The cell uptake data is summarized in Table 13. All of the anti-CD98hc antibodies tested had a concentration dependent cellular uptake in the hCMEC / D3 cells, with CD98hc.04.048 having the highest uptake at both concentrations tested. The isotype control did not show any staining. Antibodies with in vitro cell uptake were screened in vivo for brain uptake. Table 13. Normalized Mean Fluorescent Intensities (MFI) of anti-CD98hc mvFc-scFv AntibodiesExample 12: In Vivo Brain Uptake of anti-CD98hc Antibodies

[0426] To establish in vivo proof of concept for brain penetration of anti-CD98hc antibodies, huCD98hc ECD+ / +knock-in homozygous mice in the C57Bl / 6 background at 7-9 weeks of agewere dosed with antibodies at 20 mg / kg via intravenous injection of the tail vein. Blood samples were collected at 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours post-dose and processed to serum to determine peripheral clearance of the injected antibodies over time. Animals were sacrificed 24 hours post- dose, terminally bled, perfused and whole brains were harvested. Subsequently, homogenized brain tissue samples were centrifuged to separate the vessel portion from the parenchyma portion and were frozen on dry ice and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Total protein concentration in the lysates was determined by BCA Assay (Pierce #23225). The validity of this method has been confirmed using western blot analysis, in which markers of brain endothelial cells were absent in the parenchymal portions.

[0427] Antibody concentrations in the brain and serum samples were measured using an MSD (Meso Scale Discovery) assay. Antibody concentrations were normalized to the total protein concentration in the lysate and then graphed as fold-change over the control antibody.

[0428] Brain uptake data for CD98hc.04.048 is summarized in Figure 3A. In this experiment, all anti-CD98hc antibodies tested showed increased brain uptake at the 24 hr timepoint, with CD98hc.04.064.1e showing ~3.5X enrichment and CD98hc.04.048 showing a 5.5X-fold enrichment compared to a format matched isotype control. Serum PK data for this experiment is shown in Figure 3B. An increase in serum clearance was seen for both antibodies containing anti- CD98hc binding domains at the 24 hr timepoint. This enhancement in serum clearance was modest and not substantially different between CD98hc.04.064.1e and CD98hc.04.048 antibodies. Example 13: Humanization and Engineering of CD98hc.04.048 Antibodies

[0429] The CD98hc.04.048 antibody was chosen for humanization based on its function in cell uptake assay, kinetic profile, antibody expression profile and in vivo brain uptake.

[0430] One of the most common methods of humanizing a non-human antibody is to transplant the CDRs from a non-human antibody onto a human antibody acceptor framework. Frequently, such CDR transplantation results in attenuation or complete loss of affinity of the humanized antibody due to perturbation in its framework. As a result, certain residues from the mouse framework may need to be retained to replace the human residues at the corresponding positions (back mutations) in order to restore attenuated or lost affinity. Therefore, it is crucial to precisely predict the residues to be retained in the context of the selected human antibody germline acceptor framework that can retain functions and paratopes of the humanized antibody. Inaddition, retained or improved thermal stability and solubility are desired for good manufacturability and downstream development.

[0431] Structure-based antibody modeling was applied in the process of humanizing anti- CD98hc mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) utilizing the BioMOE module of MOE (Molecular Operating Environment, Chemical Computing Group, Montreal, Canada). Briefly, VH and VL sequences of the mouse mAb sequence to be humanized were compared to human VL, VH, LJ, HJ functional germline sequences taken from IMGT (http: / / www.imgt.org / ). Pseudo-genes and ORFs were excluded. Per one mouse mAb (query), five most similar VL and five most similar VH germline sequences were selected and combined with the most similar VJ and HJ genes, producing 25 humanized sequences. The CDRs to be transplanted onto the human framework were defined according to the AbM definition (http: / / www.bioinf.org.uk / abs / #cdrdef).

[0432] Two humanized sequences were selected based on the frequency of their VH and VL frameworks in human repertoire. The query and the humanized sequences were used to create Fv homology models. The BioMOE module or the Antibody Modeler module of MOE (Molecular Operating Environment, Chemical Computing Group, Montreal, Canada) was utilized to create Fv homology models. AMBER10:EHT force field was used for energy minimization through the entire antibody homology modeling process. Based on the Fv homology models, molecular descriptors such as interaction energy between VL and VH, coordinate-based isoelectric point (3D pI), hydrophobic patch, and charged surface area were calculated, analyzed, and sorted by scoring metrics provided by MOE. These molecular descriptors were utilized to prioritize the humanized mAbs for downstream experimental procedures, including protein expression, purification, and binding affinity test, and functional assays.

[0433] The BioMOE module of MOE provides a tool, Mutation Site Properties, to visualize and classify potential residues for back-mutation. Back-mutation is defined as amino acid substitution which is reverted to the original query sequence replacing the humanized sequence. Using this tool, the original query (reference) was compared individually to the selected humanized variants for both the primary amino acid sequence and the 3D structure of the 3D Fv homology model.

[0434] The changes between the reference and the humanized variant were classified based on amino acid type difference, interaction potential with CDR residues, impact potential for VL / VH pairing, and potential change in hydrophobic and charged surface area in and near the CDRs.

[0435] Mutations that are near the CDRs or the VL / VH interface, have a significant charge difference or contain strong H-bond interactions were individually evaluated and the significantly disrupting mutations were reverted back to the original query residues. As a result, humanized sequences may contain up to five back mutations.

[0436] Using this method, CD98hc.04.048 was humanized to generate CD98hc.04.048.WH1, the sequence of which is listed in Tables 14-16 below. Additional engineering was carried out to tune the affinity and remove potential liability sites. In one approach, a potential Asp isomerization site at position 69, was removed by replacing Asp 69 and Ser 70 separately with different amino acid residues. By using overlap extension polymerase chain reactions (Higuchi, et al), 23 engineered variants were generated as described above. The purified antibodies were characterized in vitro for affinity and cellular uptake. Selected sequences of the engineered antibodies with favorable properties are listed in Tables 14-16 below. Table 14. VH and VL Sequences of Humanized and Engineered antibodiesTable 15. CDR Heavy Chain Sequences of Humanized and Engineered VariantsTable 16. CDR Light Chain Sequences of Humanized and Engineered VariantsTable 17. VH and VL Sequences of Humanized and Engineered VariantsExample 14: Binding Kinetics of Humanized and Engineered Variants

[0437] Binding kinetics of the CD98hc.04.048 humanized and engineered antibodies to human and cyno CD98hc described above were evaluated using the Biacore T200 (Cytiva). Briefly, antibodies were diluted to 10 μg / mL and captured using a Cytiva Anti-Fab (Cytiva, # 28958325) surface on a CM4 chip that was prepared by amine coupling according to the instrument manufacturer’s recommendations. The captured antibodies were tested for their ability to bind human and cyno CD98hc recombinant proteins as follows.

[0438] The human and cyno CD98hc analytes were diluted in running buffer (HBS-EP+, Teknova, #8022, with 0.5 mg / mL BSA, MP Biomedicals LLC, #820451) to a concentration of 333 nM, and then diluted 3-fold serially to 111, 37, and 12.3 nM. Each sample was injected for 90 seconds to allow association, followed by dissociation in buffer alone for 5 minutes. Each sample injection was followed by three 30-second injections of 10 mM glycine pH 2.1 to regenerate the chip. Fresh antibody was captured at the beginning of each cycle.

[0439] Data were analyzed using Biacore evaluation software to generate kinetic constants. The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) were calculated from the fitted association and dissociation rate constants (k-on and k-off) for each of the anti-CD98hc antibodies. The KD values are summarized in Table 18 below.Table 18. Kinetic Rate Constants for Humanized and Engineered Variants to Human and Cyno CD98hcExample 15: In Vitro Cell Uptake of Humanized and Engineered Variants

[0440] The humanized and engineered variants were screened for cellular uptake and localization on wild-type HCMEC / D3 cells as described in the example above. Antibodies were tested in a titration series starting at 1000 nM and serially diluted 4-fold down to 0.06 nM. The cell uptake data is summarized in Figure 4A and 4B. All of the anti-CD98 antibodies tested displayed concentration dependent cellular uptake in the hCMEC / D3 cells, and the isotype control did not show any staining. Example 16: In Vivo Brain Uptake of Humanized anti-CD98hc Antibodies

[0441] Brain uptake of the humanized anti-CD98hc antibodies CD98hc.04.064.1e and CD98hc.04.048.WH1 was assayed in a time course study in huCD98hc ECD+ / + knock-in homozygous mice. The animal study was conducted as described in Example 12, where the antibodies were dosed at 20 mg / kg via intravenous injection of the tail vein. The animal takedowns were conducted at 24, 48 and 96 hours post IV injection.

[0442] Antibody concentrations in brain samples were measured in duplicates using the MSD method described above. Test article levels in hCD98hc KI + / + mice serum were measured using a custom Gyrolab assay based on a stepwise sandwich format with a biotin labeled Goat anti- human IgG (Catalog No.2049-08; Southern Biotech) as the capturing reagent and an Alexafluor- 647 labeled anti-human IgG (Catalog No.2049-31; Southern Biotech) as the detection reagent (Figure 6).

[0443] Brain uptake results are shown in Figures 5A-5B. Anti-CD98hc antibodies showed significant increase in brain uptake at all timepoints with the absolute values peaking at T=2 days and continuing to retain strong brain uptake at the day 4 timepoint (Figure 5A).CD98hc.04.048.WH1 had >40x increase in brain uptake at the day 4 timepoint as compared to the format-matched isotype control (Figure 5B). Example 17: In Vivo Brain Uptake of anti-CD98hc Antibodies in 2+1 Format

[0444] Brain uptake of anti-CD98hc antibodies is assayed in a 2+1 multi-specific binding protein format with an isotype control payload using the same methods as described above. Engineered binding domains are reformatted into scFvs and cloned into a 2+1 multi-specific binding protein format.2+1 antibodies are transiently transfected in Expi293 or ExpiCHO cells, purified on an AKTA system using Protein A column chromatography, and polished by various methods including size exclusion chromatography (SEC), hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) to produce material with a high percentage of monomeric, heterodimeric 2+1 antibody, as determined by analytical SEC and mass spectrometry. Purified 2+1 anti-CD98hc antibodies are confirmed to retain binding to huCD98hc protein by SPR and for their ability to internalize into hCMEC / D3 cells, as described above.

[0445] Brain uptake of engineered anti-CD98hc 2+1 antibodies is confirmed in hCD98hc+ / + ECD KI mice as described above using an MSD assay. Example 18: Ability of anti-CD98 Antibodies to Modulate Amino Acid Transport

[0446] Since CD98hc forms heterodimers with CD98hc amino acid transporters, anti-CD98hc antibodies are tested to assess whether they interfere with the biological functions of amino acid transport. The amino acid transport level in the presence or absence of the anti-CD98hc antibodies is evaluated in wild-type HCMEC / D3 cells via a bioluminescent assay (Promega JE9400). The BCAA-Glo assay rapidly detects the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, valine and isoleucine using Leucine Dehydrogenase enzyme to produce NADH in the presence of BCAA, followed by NADH measurement using a bioluminescent NADH detection technology. HCMEC / D3 cells are seeded into clear tissue culture treated 96-well plates and allowed to adhere for an additional 24 hours. Anti-CD98hc antibodies are then incubated at varying dilutions in serum-free DMEM at 37 °C overnight. The next day, cells are processed according to assay manufacturer instructions and luminescence is recorded with an integration time of 1 second per well (Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5).Example 19: Ability of anti-CD98 Antibodies to Modulate Integrin-Dependent Signaling

[0447] CD98hc also forms heterodimers with integrins, which can trigger downstream signaling through kinases such as PI3k (Feral et al, 2004). Anti-CD98hc antibodies are tested to assess whether they modulate integrin-dependent signaling, which could impact cell adhesion or growth. One major signaling pathway impacted by CD98hc-dependent integrin signaling is the PI3k-AKT pathway, which terminates in AKT phosphorylation which can lead to many downstream effects. An ideal anti-CD98hc brain antibody for blood-brain barrier delivery would not constitutively activate or block native levels of signaling through this pathway.

[0448] The level of AKT phosphorylation in the presence or absence of the anti-CD98hc antibodies is evaluated in wild-type HCMEC / D3 cells via a commercial ELISA kit (Sigma RAB0012). The Phospho-AKT (pSer473) / pan-AKT ELISA is used to measure phospho-AKT (pSer473) relative to total AKT1 in lysates of treated cells upon incubation in pre-coated 96-well plates according to manufacturer’s instructions. Example 20: Ability of anti-CD98hc Antibodies to Affect CD98hc Levels or Localization

[0449] Binding of anti-CD98hc antibodies to their receptor on target cells could dysregulate its cell surface expression or recycling. To assess this, HCMEC / D3 cells treated with CD98hc antibodies are assessed for effects on cell surface and total cellular levels of CD98hc by flow cytometry (FACs) and quantitative western blot, respectively. HCMEC / D3 cells are seeded on appropriate tissue culture plates in culture medium (MV2, Sigma C22020). After 24 hours, cells are treated with anti-CD98hc antibodies for 24 hours at various concentrations before analysis by either flow cytometry (FACS) or western blot. Surface levels of CD98hc on dissociated cells are assessed by FACs using a non-competing anti-CD98hc antibody. Mean fluorescence intensities are obtained and analyzed using FlowJo software and Graphpad Prism. The total amount of CD98hc protein in cell lysatesis assessed using quantitative Western blot analysis and values normalized to a housekeeping protein such as GAPDH. Example 21: In Vivo Brain Uptake of anti-CD98hc Antibodies in 2+1 Format

[0450] Brain uptake of humanized anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 was assayed in a 2-week time course study in huCD98hc ECD+ / + knock-in homozygous mice, in the 2+1 antibody format with an isotype Fab payload. The CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody binding domains were cloned into the 2+1 format and produced as described above in Example 17. The animal study was conducted as described above in Example 12: animals were dosed with anti-CD98hc antibodies at 20 mg / kg with via intravenous injection of the tail vein. Animals were sacrificed for analysis at 1-, 4-, 7-, and 14-days post injection (3 animals per antibody per timepoint were used in these studies).

[0451] Antibody concentrations in brain samples were measured in duplicate using MSD methods as described above. Additional brain tissues were used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis, and the results are described in Example 22. Whole blood samples were also collected at the terminal timepoint to evaluate hematological parameters, and the results are described in Example 23.

[0452] Brain uptake results from these studies are shown in FIG.7A and FIG.7B. Anti- CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 showed a significant increase in brain uptake at all timepoints examined, with the absolute values peaking at T=7 days and remaining highly elevated even at 14 days post-antibody administration (FIG.7A). At the day 7 timepoint, brain uptake levels were 55 ng of antibody per mg of total protein for anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 compared to 2.7 ng of antibody per mg of total protein observed in isotype control antibody animals (FIG.7A). These results showed a 20-fold increase in brain uptake of anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 compared to that observed with isotype control antibody (FIG.7B). Example 22: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Analysis of Brain Tissues from Mice Administered anti-CD98hc Antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 in 2+1 Format

[0453] Mouse brains from animals administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 and isotype control antibodies were drop-fixed in 4% PFA for 48 hours, then transferred to a 30% sucrose / PBS solution, and sectioned with a sliding microtome into 30 µm-thick sections. The sections were stained using the free-floating technique in 24-well plates. After washing in PBS, sections were permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 / PBS at room temperature, then blocked in blocking buffer (2% goat serum, 2% BSA blocker, 0.05% Tween / PBS). The sections were then incubated at 4° C in secondary antibody solution. The following day, the sections were washed in 3 × 5 min PBS, then mounted onto slides. The stained sections were imaged at 20X with AxioScan.Z1 (Zeiss, Germany).

[0454] IHC analysis showed a substantial and broad increase in antibody staining present in the brains of animals administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 compared to that observed in animals administered isotype control antibody (FIG.8). As shown, the overall IHC staining pattern in mice administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 was diffuse inthese mouse brain samples. These results indicate that anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 without having a second binding region (i.e., without a second binding region directed to a specific brain target) was not directed towards a particular brain region but rather exhibited a more diffuse and widespread biodistribution in mice brains. Example 23: Evaluation of Hematological Parameters in Mice Administered anti-CD98hc Antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 in 2+1 Format

[0455] Whole blood samples from animals administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 and isotype control antibody were obtained from the animals prior to perfusion for hematology analysis (performed at Idexx Laboratories, Fremont CA) using a fully automated diagnostic instrument SYSMEX XT-V. The complete blood count (CBC) and reticulocyte count were measured by flow cytometry.

[0456] As shown in FIG.9, no major changes in red blood cell count (a key hematological parameter) were observed in animals administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1. Hemoglobin levels also remained unchanged in animals administered anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 (data not shown). Example 24: Affinity Engineering of Anti-CD98hc Antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1

[0457] Affinity variants of anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1 were generated as follows. Amino acid substitutions within the variable heavy chains and variable light chains were introduced at various selected positions within or near the CDR regions of anti-CD98hc antibody CD98hc.04.048.WH1. The antibody variants were expressed in Expi293 or ExpiCHO cell cultures and either the supernatants or purified antibodies of these variants were subsequently used to evaluate binding and cell uptake.

[0458] Following binding and cell uptake evaluation, a subset of these variants were generated in monovalent scFv and Fab antibody formats for further characterization, as described below.

[0459] The antibody sequences of the CD98hc.04.048.WH1 affinity-engineered antibody variants are provided in Tables 19-21 below. Table 19. Heavy Chain CDR Sequences of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Antibody VariantsTable 20. Light chain CDR Sequences of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Antibody VariantsTable 21. VH and VL Sequences of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Antibody VariantsExample 25: Binding Kinetics of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Antibody Variants

[0460] Binding kinetics of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 affinity engineered antibody variants to human and cynomolgus CD98hc were evaluated using Biacore T200 (Cytiva). Binding domains were tested in both Fab and scFv monovalent formats. Briefly, CD98hc.04.048.WH1 variants were diluted and captured using a Cytiva Anti-Fab (Cytiva, # 28958325) surface on a CM4 chip that was prepared by amine coupling according to the instrument manufacturer’s recommendations. The captured binding domains were tested for their ability to bind human and cynomolgus CD98hc recombinant proteins as follows.

[0461] The human and cynomolgus CD98hc recombinant protein analytes were diluted in running buffer to a concentration of 1 µM, and then diluted 3-fold serially. Each sample injection was followed by three 30-second injections of 10 mM glycine pH 2.1 to regenerate the chip. Fresh binding domains were captured at the beginning of each cycle.

[0462] Data were analyzed using Biacore evaluation software to generate kinetic constants. The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) were calculated from the fitted association and dissociation rate constants (k-on and k-off) for each of the CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody variants. The KDvalues for bindig domains in monovalent Fab format are summarized in Table 22, and the KD values for binding domains in monovalent scFv format are summarized in Table 23.Table 22. Kinetic Rate Constants for CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Affinity Variants in Monovalent Fab Format for Binding to Human and Cynomolgus CD98hcTable 23.

[0463] To examine brain uptake of affinity-engineered CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody variants of the present disclosure, a subset of them were injected into huCD98hc ECD + / + knock-in homozygous mice in the C57Bl / 6 background at 7-9 weeks of age. Animals were administered CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody variants at 20 mg / kg via intravenous injection of the tail vein. Animals were sacrificed 48 hours following antibody administration, terminally bled, and perfused. Whole brains were harvested. Homogenized brain tissue samples were centrifuged to separate the vessel portion from the parenchyma portion and were frozen on dry ice and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Total protein concentration in the lysates was determined by BCA Assay (Pierce #23225). The validity of this method to remove blood vessels was confirmed using western blot analysis, in which markers of brain endothelial cells were absent in the parenchymal portions used in these studies.

[0464] Antibody concentrations in the brain and serum samples were measured using an MSD (Meso Scale Discovery) assay as described above. Antibody concentrations were normalized to the total protein concentration in the lysate and then graphed as fold-change over the format- matched control antibody.

[0465] Brain uptake measurements obtained for the CD98hc.04.048.WH1 affinity-engineered antibody variants are shown in FIG.10A (ng binding domain / mg total protein) and FIG.10B (fold-change over control). In these studies, all CD98hc.04.048.WH1 affinity-engineered antibody variants tested showed increased brain uptake at the 48 hour timepoint and showed a 3.5-fold to 8-fold enrichment in brain uptake as compared to a format-matched antibody isotype control.Example 27: Effect of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 Antibody Affinity Variants on Amino Acid Uptake

[0466] The ability of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 affinity-engineered antibody variants to affect amino acid uptake was evaluated using a commercially available bioluminescent assay (Promega JE9400) as described in Example 18. Briefly, hCMEC / D3 cells were seeded into clear tissue culture treated 96-well plates and allowed to adhere for an additional 24 hours. Anti-CD98hc antibodies were then added at varying dilutions in serum-free DMEM, and the cells were incubated at 37°C overnight. The following day, the cells were processed according to assay manufacturer instructions, and luminescence was recorded with an integration time of 1 second per well (Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5).

[0467] As shown in FIG.11, none of the CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody variants tested in this assay decreased amino acid uptake. These results indicated that use of CD98hc.04.048.WH1 antibody variants of the present disclosure to transport molecules across the blood brain barrier would not interfere with amino acid transport. Example 28: Anti-CD98hc / multi-specific binding proteins show significant enhancement of brain penetration

[0468] Mice were injected intravenously with a single 20 mg / kg dose of the following antibodies: anti-CD98hc.04.048.WH1, the isotype IgG control, anti-GPNMB antibody, or anti- GPNMB / CD98hc.04.048.WH1 multi-specific antibody. After 72 hours, antibody levels in vessel- depleted mouse brain fractions were determined. As shown in FIGs.12A-12B, inclusion of a CD98hc.04.048.WH1 binding moiety greatly increased antibody brain penetration compared to that observed with isotype control antibody and compared to that observed with anti-GPNMB antibody without the CD98hc binding moiety. Taken together, these results demonstrated that significantly higher brain parenchyma concentrations of anti-GPNMB antibodies were achieved with an anti-GPNMB antibody / anti-CD98hc multi-specific binding protein. Example 29: Engineering of a Rituximab – Anti-CD98hc Bispecific Protein

[0469] A multi-specific protein comprising an anti-CD98hc antigen-binding domain and rituximab with an effector-function silencing mutation (LALA-PS) was created in silico. The multi-specific protein comprising an anti-CD98hc antigen-binding domain and rituximab could be designed in one of two exemplary formats as shown in FIG.13. Table 24 shows the sequencesfor a multi-specific protein comprising an anti-CD98hc antigen-binding domain and rituximab with a LALA-PS sequence. Table 24.
