[0005] The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family comprises paired immunomodulatory receptors that can be divided into two classes: the inhibitory LILR subfamily B (LILRB 1-5) and the activating LILR subfamily A (LILRA1-6). The receptors are expressed in human myeloid and lymphocyte cells. LILR subfamily A (LILRA) members associate with membrane adaptors to signal via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motifs (IT AM). LILR subfamily B (LILRB) members signal via multiple cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM). LILRB receptors and the murine ortholog, paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PIRB), negatively regulate maturation of myeloid cells such as mast cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and B cells.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0104] Myeloid suppression in cancer
[0105] Cancer is often characterized by tumor-promoting inflammation and avoidance of tumor destruction by the immune system. Tumor-promoting inflammation can disturb normal myelopoiesis. This disturbance leads to the generation of immunosuppressive myeloid cells,such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Immunosuppressive myeloid cells can be an important barrier to cancer immunotherapy due to their potent suppressive activities against effector lymphocytes and their abundance in the tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoint molecules expressed on tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells have emerged as potential therapeutic targets to redirect these cells to eliminate tumor cells. There is a complex crosstalk between cancer-related inflammation and immunosuppressive myeloid cells, which provides a possible therapeutic strategy to take advantage of antitumor immune responses.
[0106] Immunotherapy is a pillar of cancer therapy. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies have significantly improved outcomes in patients with melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and other types of tumors with high tumor mutational burden. However, durable clinical responses in most cancer patients have yet to be achieved. One major hurdle to overcome is that the tumor microenvironment (TME) acts as a major barrier for the recruitment and activation of effector lymphocytes to battle cancer cells. It has recently been appreciated that inflammation not only directly fuels tumor growth but also critically contributes to the generation of TME with proangiogenic and immunosuppressive features.
[0107] Immunosuppressive cells can be induced by cancer-related inflammation. Cancer- related inflammation can trigger myeloid-dependent immunosuppression. A wide variety of growth factors and proinflammatory cytokines can alter myelopoiesis leading to the generation of immature myeloid cells with potent immunosuppressive activities (i.e., MDSCs). MDSCs can be recruited into tumor tissues in response to chemokine signaling, where they further undergo dynamic alteration, such as differentiation into TAMs from monocytic MDSCs. MDSCs and TAMs can act as a key barrier for anti-tumor immunity. A broad range of inflammatory stimuli can trigger the generation of MDSCs such as growth factors that are required for expansion (e.g., G-CSF, M-CSF, GM-CSF and S-CSF); cytokines for functional maturation (IL-1 family cytokines, IL -4, IL-6, IL- 13, and TNF); and chemoattractants for mobilization into the TME (IL-8, CCL2, and CXCL12). Downstream signaling and transcriptional factors are involved in each step. For instance, C / EBPp, a key transcriptional factor for emergency granulopoiesis, plays a crucial role in the expansion of MDSCs. The C / EBPP-driven expansion of MDSCs is positively regulated by retinoic acid- related orphan receptor C (RORC1) expressed on immature myeloid cells under cancer- related inflammation. By contrast, interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8) acts as a negative regulator of the generation of MDSCs. Mice deficient in IRF8 harbor MDSC-like cells evenunder tumor- free conditions and that transgenic overexpression of IRF8 reduces the accumulation of MDSCs under tumor-bearing conditions.
[0108] Immune checkpoints
[0109] Immune checkpoints are a regulatory point in the development of immune cells. They prevent an immune response to a stimulus from becoming so strong that it destroys healthy cells in the body or progresses to an autoimmune disorder or blood cancer. Immune checkpoints occur when cell surface proteins on immune cells recognize and bind to their partners on other cells, such as some tumor cells. These immune cell surface proteins are immune checkpoint proteins. When the checkpoint protein and the partner protein bind each other, they can send an “off’ signal to the immune cell, such as a T cell, expressing the immune checkpoint protein. This can prevent the immune system from destroying the cancer cell and allowing the cancer to develop and metastasize.
[0110] Immunotherapy drugs have been developed to inhibit the immune checkpoint proteins. These immune checkpoint inhibitors block the immune checkpoint proteins from binding with their partner proteins on the cancer cells. Thus, the checkpoint inhibition prevents the “off’ signal from being sent, allowing the T cells to kill cancer cells and prevent further disease.

[0117] LILRB4 is an inhibitory receptor and a member of the LILR family. LILRB4 is mainly expressed on normal and malignant human myeloid cells. LILRB4 can be activated following ligand binding, which leads to recruitment of adaptor proteins to the cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motifs of LILRB4. These adaptors initiate various downstream signaling cascades playing an important role in physiological and pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases, cancers, and infections.
[0118] In healthy myeloid cells, LILRB4 regulates intrinsic cell activation and differentiation by binding to partner proteins. In disease-associated or malignant myeloid cells, LILRB4 activation suppresses T cell development, thereby participating in thepathogenesis of various diseases including, but not limited to, cancer. LILRB4 activation in the context of disease is correlated with disease severity or patient survival. Therefore, regulating LILRB4 activity and or expression may be a promising therapeutic target for various human immune diseases, especially for cancer immunotherapy.
[0119] The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family comprises inhibitory and activating receptors expressed in human myeloid cells. The LILR family has 13 members - six activating receptors (LILRA1-ILLRA6), five inhibitory receptors (LILRB1-LILRB5), and two pseudogenes. The extracellular structures of LILRAs and LILRBs are highly similar to C2-type Ig-like domains. LILRAs have a shorter cytoplasmic tail without an intrinsic signaling capacity but with a positively charged arginine residue (R) in the transmembrane domain. This arginine residue enables association with the FcyR chain that contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (IT AMs). LILRBs have a long cytoplasmic tail with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs). LILRs are mainly expressed on the myeloid lineage cells, such as monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells. Some LILRs are also found on B cells, NK cells and T cells.
[0120] LILRB4 is one of the inhibitory receptors in the LILR family. LILRB4 is known as ILT3, LIR5, CD85K, and HM18. It was identified in the late 1990s as an inhibitory receptor on monocytes and was considered to be a homolog of mouse glycoprotein (gp49B). While most family members contain four Ig domains, the LILRB4 protein has two extracellular C2-type Ig domains and three cytoplasmic ITIMs which can recruit phosphatases for downstream signal transduction. Unlike other LILRBs, LILRB4 is not conformationally and electrostatically suitable for interaction with major histocompatibility complex (MHC), hormone, virus products. Thus, LILRB4 may not be directly involved in regulation of MHC -mediated antigen-specific T cell activation.
[0121] The intracellular ITIMS of LILRB4 inhibitory receptors attenuate crosslinkdependent activation of ITAM-containing activated receptors. By co-ligation with activating receptors, ITIMs are phosphorylated by Src-family tyrosine kinases, which enables them to recruit Src homology 2(SH2) domain phosphatases (SHPs), such as SHP-1 or SHP-2, and SH2 -containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP-1). This signaling cascade can inhibit the activation of Syk and PI3K signals, thus terminating the activation signals induced by ITAM- containing receptors. Subsequently, co-ligation of LILRB4 and FcyRI inhibits production of the key pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFa induced by FcyRI by reducing FcyRLmediated phosphorylation of Lek, Syk, LAT, Erk and c-Cbl. Conversely, treatment with the SHP-1- specific phosphatase inhibitor sodium stibogluconate reverses the inhibitory effect ofLILRB4 on TNFa production. In addition to inhibiting cytokine production, LILRB4 inhibits FcyRI-dependent endocytosis through SHP-dependent dephosphorylation of Syk, clathrin, and the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase Cbl. LILRB4 is an inhibitor of monocyte activation and plays an important role in immune regulation by abrogating FcyRI-dependent monocyte activation.
[0122] LILRB4 is expressed in macrophages, which are derived from blood monocytes and are a key component of the innate immune system responding to tissue invasion by infectious microorganisms and tissue injury. As an endogenous negative regulator of macrophage activation, co-ligation of LILRB4 and FcyRI inhibits the FcyRI-mediated production of TNFa. In Toxoplasma gondii infection during pregnancy, LILRB4 expression is downregulated on macrophages, which results in downregulation of the arginine catabolism enzyme arginase- 1 (ARG-1) and upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to suppress placental vascular development, which contributes to abnormal pregnancy outcomes. In atherosclerosis, LILRB4 is expressed on macrophages located in atherosclerotic plaque atherosclerotic lesions of human coronary arteries. Overall, LILRB4 plays an important role in the activation, differentiation, and polarization of macrophages during disease pathogenesis.
[0123] In the tumor immune microenvironment, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are strongly expanded and can inhibit the activity of T cells. In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), LILRB4 is expressed on both PMN-MDSCs and M-MDSCs. Particularly in PMN-MDSCs, the expression of LILRB4 is correlated with poor outcomes in NSCLC patients. M-MDSCs may exhibit a stronger immunosuppressive potential than PMN-MDSCs. Treatment of these M-MDSCs with anti-LILRB4 antibodies impairs the ability to induce T cell suppression, In addition, the fibronectin expressed by stromal cells in tumor microenvironment binds and activates LILRB4 on MDSCs. The fibronectin-LILRB4 interaction recruits SHP-1 to inhibit Syk-mediated FcyR signaling and immunosuppressive activities of MDSCs. Thus, MDSCs may inhibit the activity of T cells via LILRB4 in cancer development and progression and LILRB4 expressed on MDSCs can be a target for cancer immunotherapy.
[0124] In addition to MDSCs, monocytes in patient blood circulation can be recruited to the tumor microenvironment and further differentiate into tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) TAMs, lack phagocytotic activities and promote tumor cell evasion from immune surveillance. They also promote metastasis to other tissues and organs. LILRB4 is expressed on TAMs in human lung cancer, melanoma, colon carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, mousemelanoma and colon cancer models. Blocking LILRB4 with antibodies or protein deficiency increases the infiltration of anti-tumor immune cells into the tumor microenvironment. Thus, LILRB4 expressed on TAMs can be a target for cancer immunotherapy.
[0125] LILRB4 is expressed in a variety of cancer cells, including on solid tumors and hematological tumors. LILRB4 is specifically expressed on monocytic acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. In AML, apolipoprotein E (APOE) binds to LILRB4, recruiting SHP- 2 to the intracellular ITIMs of LILRB4 and activating the NFKB signaling pathway to promote leukemia cell infiltration. Mutation analyses have shown that phosphorylation of tyrosine 412 and 441 in LILRB4 ITIMs by Src-family tyrosine kinases controls T cell suppression and leukemia cell infiltration. Treatment with anti-LILRB4 antibodies, which interrupts the APOE-LILRB4 interaction, releases T cell suppression and inhibits leukemia cell infiltration as well as AML development.
[0126] LILRB4 expression is regulated at multiple levels, including the transcriptional, posttranscriptional and epigenetic levels. Vitamin D3 and its nuclear receptor can bind to the promoter region of LILRB4 and drive LILRB4 expression. Fat mass and obesity-related protein (FTO), an RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase, positively regulates the expression of LILRB4 in monocytic AML cells by inhibiting YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2)-mediated decay of LILRB4 mRNA m6A modification. FTO-specific inhibitors reduce the expression of LILRB4 on AML cells, increasing the sensitivity of AML cells to activated T cells. LILRB4 expression is upregulated by PRMT5 in AML cells, which results in activation of the mTOR pathway to enhance the invasion ability of AML cells. LILRB4 is specifically expressed on monocytic AML cells but not on normal hematopoietic progenitor cells and anti-tumor T cells, which makes LILRB4 a promising therapeutic target evading toxicity. Thus, LILRB4 can be a target for AML immunotherapy.
[0127] Several therapeutic strategies have been developed based on LILRB4 inhibition. These include anti-LILRB4 humanized monoclonal antibodies, anti-LILRB4 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, anti-LILRB4 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and biomimetic inhibitors. Some of these therapeutics have shown anti-tumor efficacy in pre- clinical experiments. LILRB4 is also expressed on solid cancer cells. In NSCLC, LILRB4 is activated by APOE binding and further recruits SHP-2 and SHIP-1 to activate ERK1 / 2 signaling. This increases the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and promotes cancer metastasis.
[0128] LILRB2
[0129] Blocking inmrunoinhibitory receptor LILRB2 can also reprogram tumor- associated myeloid cells in the treatment of cancer. LILRB2 antagonism inhibits receptor- mediated activation of SHP1 / 2, thus, enhancing proinflammatory responses. Transcriptome analysis has shown that LILRB2 inhibition alters genes involved in cell cytoskeleton remodeling, lipid / cholesterol metabolism, and endosomal sorting pathways, as well as changed differentiation gene networks associated with inflammatory myeloid cells as opposed to their alternatively activated phenotype. LILRB2 blockade suppresses MDSC and Treg infiltration and promotes in vivo antitumor effects of T cell immune checkpoint inhibitors.
[0130] Anti-LILRB4 and Anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 Antibodies
[0131] Disclosed herein are novel monoclonal antibodies that, in some embodiments, are useful for preventing or treating disease (e.g., cancer).
[0132] Unless otherwise indicated, the practice of aspects of the present invention can employ conventional techniques of cell biology, cell culture, molecular biology, transgenic biology, microbiology, recombinant DNA, and immunology, which are within the skill of the art. Such techniques are explained fully in the literature.
[0133] A protein is encoded by a nucleic acid (including, for example, genomic DNA, complementary DNA (cDNA), synthetic DNA, as well as any form of corresponding RNA). One skilled in the art can obtain a protein in several ways, including, but not limited to isolating the protein via biochemical means or expressing a nucleotide sequence encoding the protein of interest. The nucleic acids encoding a protein can be produced via recombinant DNA technology and such recombinant nucleic acids can be prepared by conventional techniques, including chemical synthesis, genetic engineering, enzymatic techniques, or a combination thereof.
[0134] Protein variants can include amino acid sequence modifications. For example, amino acid sequence modifications fall into one or more of three classes: substitutional, insertional or deletional variants. Insertions can include amino and / or carboxyl terminal fusions as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Ordinarily, insertions will be smaller than those of amino or carboxyl terminal fusions, for example, on the order of one to four residues. Deletions are characterized by the removal of one or more amino acid residues from the protein sequence. These variants ordinarily are prepared by site-specific mutagenesis of nucleotides in the DNA encoding the protein, thereby producing DNA encoding the variant, and thereafter expressing the DNA in recombinant cell culture or using cell-free methods known in the art.
[0135] An antibody can by expressing DNA encoding the antibody in recombinant cell culture or using cell-free methods known in the art followed by purification. Non-limiting purification methods include size exclusion chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis.
[0136] In some embodiments, the antibody may be post-translationally modified. In some embodiments, polypeptides or proteins can be modified enzymatically or chemically, by addition or removal of a post-translational modification. For example, a polypeptide or protein can be glycosylated or deglycosylated enzymatically. Similarly, polypeptides can be phosphorylated using a purified kinase, such as a MAP kinase (e.g, p38, ERK, or JNK) or a tyrosine kinase (e.g., Src or erbB2). A polypeptide or protein can also be modified through synthetic chemistry. Alternatively, one can isolate the antibody from a cell or tissue that expresses the polypeptide with the desired post-translational modification, In another embodiment, a nucleic acid molecule encoding the polypeptide or protein of interest is introduced into a host cell that is capable of post-translationally modifying the encoded polypeptide(s) in the desired fashion. If the polypeptide or protein does not contain a motif for a desired post-translational modification, one can alter the post-translational modification by mutating the nucleic acid sequence of a nucleic acid molecule encoding the polypeptide(s) so that it contains a site for the desired post-translational modification. The nucleic acid molecule can also be introduced into a host cell that is capable of post-translationally modifying the encoded polypeptide(s). Similarly, one can delete sites that are post- translationally modified by mutating the nucleic acid sequence so that the encoded polypeptide(s) does not contain the post-translational modification motif, or by introducing the native nucleic acid molecule into a host cell that is not capable of post-translationally modifying the encoded polypeptide(s).
[0137] Useful post-synthetic (and post-translational) modifications include conjugation to chemical moieties. A wide variety of amine-reactive and thiol-reactive fluorophore derivatives have been synthesized that react under nondenaturing conditions with N-terminal amino groups and epsilon amino groups of lysine residues, on the one hand, and with free thiol groups of cysteine residues, on the other. Chemical moieties that usefully can be conjugated to antibodies disclosed herein include radioactive labels, echosonographic contrast reagents, and MRI contrast agents. Kits are available commercially that permit conjugation of proteins to a variety of amine-reactive or thiol-reactive chemical moieties.
[0138] There are five classes of human antibodies (i.e., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM) and each have various isotypes (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgA2). In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein belong to the IgG class. IgG can be divided into four subclasses: IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Each subclass has a unique profile with respect to antigen binding, immune complex formation, complement activation, triggering of effector cells, half-life, and placental transport. E.g., see Gestur Vidarsson, et al., IgG Subclasses and Allotypes: From Structure to Effector Functions, 5 Frontiers in Immunology 520 (2014), incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein belong to the IgGl class. The term “immunoglobulin” (Ig) is used interchangeably with “antibody” herein.
[0139] The IgG immunoglobulin molecule consists of four polypeptide chains, two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains. Disulfide bonds join the four chains in a “Y” configuration wherein the light chains bracket the heavy chains starting at the mouth of the “Y” and continuing through the variable region to the dual ends of the “Y”. Each L chain is linked to an H chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the two H chains are linked to each other by one or more disulfide bonds depending on the H chain isotype. Each H and L chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain consists of an N-terminal variable domain (VH) and three constant domains (CHI, CH2, CH3), with an additional “hinge region” between CHI and CH2. Similarly, the light chains consist of an N-terminal variable domain (VL) and a constant domain (CL). The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain may be referred to as “VH” and “VL”, respectively. These domains are generally the most variable parts of the antibody (relative to other antibodies of the same class) and contain the antigen binding sites. The VL is aligned with the VH and the CL is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain (CHI). The pairing of a VH and VL together forms a single antigen-binding site. The part of the antibody formed by the lower hinge region and the CH2 / CH3 domains of the heavy chain is called “Fc” (“fragment crystalline”). See e.g., Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th Edition, Daniel P. Sties, Abba I. Terr and Tristram G. Parsolw (eds), Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, CT, 1994, page 71 and Chapter 6, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
[0140] The variability in an antibody sequence is concentrated in three segments called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) (also called hypervariable regions (HVRs)) both in the light-chain and the heavy-chain v ariable domains. The more highly conserved portions of variable domains are called the framework regions (FR). The variable domains of native heavy and light chains each comprise four FR regions, largely adopting a beta-sheetconfiguration, connected by three CDRs, which form loops connecting, and in some cases forming part of, the beta-sheet structure. The CDRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FR regions and, with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site of antibodies. See Kabat et al, Sequences of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991), incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. The constant domains are not involved directly in the binding of antibodies to an antigen but exhibit various effector functions, such as the participation of the antibody in antibody-dependent cellular toxicity.
[0141] By way of example, CDRs may be defined using the nomenclature described by Kabat et al. (1991, NIH Publication 91-3242, National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Va.), incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

In some embodiments, the first and third chains each further comprise a CHI domain, a hinge domain, and a Fc domain. In some embodiments, the second and fourth chains each further comprise a CL domain. The pairing of the VH and VL of the first and second chains together forms a single antigen-binding site that binds to LILRB4, and optionally to LILRB2, and the pairing of the VH and VL of the third and fourth chains together forms a single antigen-binding site specific for the same epitope(s). In some embodiments, the first and second chains are linked by one or more covalent disulfide bonds and the third and fourth chains are linked by one ormore covalent disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, the first and third chains are linked by one or more disulfide bonds.
[0144] However, the antibodies disclosed herein are not limited to full-length IgG like antibodies. Other immunologically reactive / antigen-binding molecules are also contemplated herein and a person of skill in the art can readily synthesize such molecules using the sequences and identified domains of the heavy and light chains of the antibodies disclosed herein.

[0237] Antibody Production
[0238] The antibodies disclosed herein can be produced by any method known in the art. In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein are produced by culturing a cell transfected or transformed with a vector comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody described herein and isolating the antibody.
[0239] hr some embodiments, antibodies are synthesized by methods which results in antibodies that are not contaminated by other immunoglobulins. The modifier monoclonal does not require production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques known in the art, including, for example, the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display technologies, B-cell discovery methods, and technologies for producing human or human-like antibodies in animals that have parts or all of the human immunoglobulin loci or genes encoding human immunoglobulin sequences.
[0240] In some embodiments, expression of an antibody comprises expression vector(s) containing a polynucleotide that encodes an anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibody. Methods that are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expressionvectors comprising antibody coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional and translational control signals. These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination. Particular embodiments provide replicable vectors comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibody disclosed herein operably linked to a promoter. In preferred embodiments, such vectors may include a nucleotide sequence encoding the heavy chain of an antibody molecule (or fragment thereof), a nucleotide sequence encoding the light chain of an antibody (or fragment thereof), or a nucleotide sequence encoding both the heavy and light chain of an antibody molecule (or fragment thereof).
[0241] The polynucleotide encoding the antibody may be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy- and light-chain constant domains or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. Typically, such non-immunoglobulin polypeptides are substituted for the constant domains of an antibody. The monoclonal antibodies described herein may by monovalent, the preparation of which is well known in the art. For example, one method involves recombinant expression of an immunoglobulin light chain and a modified heavy chain. The heavy chain is generally truncated at any point in the Fc domain so as to prevent heavy chain crosslinking. Alternatively, the relevant cysteine residues may be substituted with another amino acid residue or are deleted so as to prevent crosslinking. In vitro methods are also suitable for preparing monovalent antibodies. Antibiotic ingestion to produce fragments, particularly Fab fragments, can be accomplished using routine techniques known in the art. Chimeric or hybrid antibodies also may be prepared in vitro using known methods in synthetic protein chemistry, including those involving crosslinking agents.
[0242] Various expression systems for producing antibodies are known in the art, and include, prokaryotic (e.g., bacteria), plant, insect, yeast, and mammalian expression systems. Suitable cell lines, can be transformed, transduced, or transfected with nucleic acids containing coding sequences for antibodies or portions of antibodies disclosed herein in order to produce the antibody of interest. Expression vectors containing such nucleic acid sequences, which can be linked to at least one regulatory sequence in a manner that allows expression of the nucleotide sequence in a host cell, can be introduced via methods known in the art. Practitioners in the art understand that designing an expression vector can depend on factors, such as the choice of host cell to be transfected and / or the type and / or amount of desired protein to be expressed. Enhancer regions, which are those sequences found upstream or downstream of the promoter region in non-coding DNA regions, are also knownin the art to be important in optimizing expression. If needed, origins of replication from viral sources can be employed, such as if a prokaryotic host is utilized for introduction of plasmid DNA. However, in eukaryotic organisms, chromosome integration is a common mechanism for DNA replication. For stable transfection of mammalian cells, a small fraction of cells can integrate introduced DNA into their genomes. The expression vector and transfection method utilized can be factors that contribute to a successfill integration event. For stable amplification and expression of a desired protein, a vector containing DNA encoding a protein of interest (e.g., antibodies and fragments thereof) is stably integrated into the genome of eukaryotic cells (for example mammalian cells), resulting in the stable expression of transfected genes. A gene that encodes a selectable marker (for example, resistance to antibiotics or drugs) can be introduced into host cells along with the gene of interest in order to identify and select clones that stably express a gene encoding a protein of interest. Cells containing the gene of interest can be identified by drug selection wherein cells that have incorporated the selectable marker gene will survive in the presence of the drug. Cells that have not incorporated the gene for the selectable marker die. Surviving cells can then be screened for the production of the desired antibody molecule.
[0243] In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein are encoded in a vector for expression in a cell line. In some embodiments, a vector comprises a polynucleotide sequence that encodes an anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibody and the vector is transfected into one or more cell lines for expression. In some embodiments, one or more vectors comprise polynucleotide sequences encoding a light chain and a heavy chain of the antibody. For example, in some embodiments, a first vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a light chain, a second vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain, of an anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibody, In some embodiments, both vectors are transfected into one or more cell lines for expression. A host cell strain, which modulates the expression of the inserted sequences, or modifies and processes the nucleic acid in a specific fashion desired also may be chosen. Such modifications (for example, glycosylation and other post-translational modifications) and processing (for example, cleavage) of protein products may be important for the function of the antibody. Different host cell strains have characteristic and specific mechanisms for the post- translational processing and modification of proteins and gene products. As such, appropriate host systems or cell lines can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the foreign antibody expressed. Thus, eukaryotic host cells possessing thecellular machinery for proper processing of the primary transcript, glycosylation, and phosphorylation of the gene product may be used.
[0244] In some embodiments, the antigen binding portions of the anti-LILRB4 or anti- LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibodies described herein can be expressed as part of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressed on T cells. Thus, in certain aspects provided herein is a CAR comprising a VH domain and a VL domain of any one of the anti-LILRB4 or anti- LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibodies described herein. In some embodiments, provided herein is a CAR comprising a VH domain comprising the HCDRs of any one of the anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibodies described herein and a VL domain comprising the LCDRs of any one of the anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibodies described herein.

[0245] Various culturing parameters can be used with respect to the host cell being cultured. Appropriate culture conditions for mammalian cells are well known in the art or can be determined by the skilled artisan (see, for example, Animal Cell Culture: A Practical Approach 2ndEd., Rickwood, D. and Hames, B. D., eds. (Oxford University Press: New York, 1992)). Cell culturing conditions can vary according to the type of host cell selected. Commercially available media can be utilized.
[0246] Antibodies disclosed herein can be purified from any human or non-human cell that expresses the antibody, including those that have been transfected with expression constructs that express the antibody or fragments thereof. For antibody recovery, isolation and / or purification, the cell culture medium or cell lysate is centrifuged to remove particulate cells and cell debris. The desired antibody molecule is isolated or purified away from contaminating soluble proteins and polypeptides by suitable purification techniques. Nonlimiting purification methods for proteins / antibodies include: size exclusion chromatography, affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, ethanol precipitation; reverse phase HPLC; chromatography on a resin, such as silica, or cation exchange resin, e.g.. DEAE; chromatofocusing; SDS-PAGE; ammonium sulfate precipitation; gel filtration using, e.g, Sephadex G-75, Sepharose; protein A sepharose chromatography for removal ofimmunoglobulin contaminants; and the like. Other additives, such as protease inhibitors (e.g., PMSF or proteinase K) can be used to inhibit proteolytic degradation during purification.

[0306] Bispecifi c Molecules
[0307] In some embodiments, the subject matter described herein relates to bispecific antibodies, functional equivalent thereof, antigen binding fragment thereof, a derivative thereof, an antibody-like bispecific molecule that binds to two different antigens, etc., which are collectively referred to herein as “bispecific molecules.” Bispecific molecules are engineered hybrid molecules with two different binding domains, which distinguishes them from monoclonal antibodies which have two identical binding domains, In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule binds to two different antigens - a first antigen and a second antigen. In some embodiments, the first antigen is LILRB4. In some embodiments the second antigen is LILRB2. It should be noted that in any of the bispecific molecule embodiments disclosed herein the second antigen binding domain that binds LILRB2 may also bind LILRB4 (i.e. it is cross-reactive with LILRB2 and LILRB4). In some embodiments, the bispecific molecules described herein are a class of therapeutics useful in the field of oncology and improving cancer treatment responses.
[0308] In some embodiments, the bispecific molecules of the present disclosure are bispecific antibodies comprising an Fc domain. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecules of the present disclosure are non-IgG-like molecules without an Fc domain. The Fc domain may play a role in the stability, solubility, and half-life of the bispecific molecules. The Fc domain may also play a role the bispecific molecules’ ability to kill cancer cells via complement-dependent and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity.
[0309] Bispecific molecules with an Fc domain, such as bispecific antibodies, can be produced by any methods know in the art such as knobs-into-holes, CrossMab, and DuoBody technologies. The knobs-into-holes method may be the most widely utilized method of bispecific antibody production. Using this method, the bispecific antibody is produced by engineering the CH3 domains of the two antibody Fc domains to express certain amino acids forming a “knob” or “hole” structures. The “knob” and “hole” structures interact with each other to promote heterozygous dimerization of the bispecific antibody, thus, assembling the chains of the bispecific antibody into the familiar “Y” shape. One challenge with this knobs- into-holes method is the occasional inaccurate light-chain binding to respective heavy chains. This challenge can be addressed by the CrossMab method of bispecific antibody production. The CrossMab technology uses an inter-arm cross-exchange of bispecific IgG antibodies and heterodimerization of heavy chains via knob-into-hole configuration. The inter-arm crossexchange involves swapping the location of the light chain variable domain with corresponding heavy chain variable domain. More details on the knob-in-hole and CrossMab formats can be found in Klein, C., et al. “Engineering therapeutic bispecific antibodies usingCrossMab technology,” Methods, Volume 154, 2019, pg 21-31, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The DuoBody method of producing bispecific antibodies involves a Fab-arm exchange. The parental monoclonal antibodies undergo a selective reduction of their disulfide bonds at the hinge region. Chains are then recombined through amino acid substitutions to form a bispecific antibody. This method maintains the structural integrity of the antibody. More details on the DuoBody methodology can be found in Labrijn, A.F., et al., “Efficient generation of stable bispecific IgGl by controlled Fab-arm exchange,” PNAS 110(13): 5145-5150 (2013) and Labrijn, A.F., et al., “Efficient Generation of Bispecific Murine Antibodies for Pre-Clinical Investigations in Syngeneic Rodent Models,” Sei Report 7(1) (2017), the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0310] In some embodiments, a non-IgG fragment-based bispecific molecule comprises a single-chain variable fragment (scFv), with VL and VH regions. In some embodiments, a peptide linker of amino acids couples the VL and VH regions to each other. Due to the lack of an Fc fragment, this type of bispecific molecule can have superior tumor tissue penetration, weak immunogenicity allowing for administration of a low drug dose, preserved binding activity of the parental antibody. However, there may be structure instability, a short half-life, and low expression. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule comprises two tandem scFv molecules (ta-scFvs) comprising two scFvs chains that can be fused by a peptide linker. In some embodiments, an exemplary ta-scFv comprises a VLmAbA-VHmAbA- VLmAbB-VHmAbB. The structure of these bivalent scFv molecules contain a first binding region binding a first antigen and a second binding region binding a second antigen. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule described herein is a ta-scFv. In some embodiments, the first antigen is LILRB4. In some embodiments, the second antigen is LILRB2.
[0311] In some embodiments, ta-scFv comprises a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE), which consists of two scFvs. One of the ta-scFv can bind to CD3 on T cells and the second one can bind to an antigen on the tumor cell. This concurrent binding of the BiTE to the T cell and the tumor cell can induce a cascade of immune events, such as T cells activation, release of cytokines, and secretion of perforin and granzyme B, leading to the tumor cell apoptosis. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule described herein is a BiTE.
[0312] In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule disclosed herein is a diabody. In some embodiments, the diabody has a first polypeptide chain and a second polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the first polypeptide chain comprises the VH domain of a first monoclonal antibody coupled to a VL domain of a second monoclonal antibody. In someembodiments, the second polypeptide chain comprises a VH domain of the second monoclonal antibody coupled to the VL domain of the first monoclonal antibody A. An exemplary diabody comprises a VHmAbl-VLmAb2 / VHmAb2-VLmAbl. In some embodiments, the diabody molecule has a VLmAbl-VHmAb2 / VLmAb2-VHmAbl configuration. In some embodiments, each variable domain is connected to another one by a peptide linker. In some embodiments, the diabody comprises a disulfide bond between the domains of one polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, two polypeptide chains are fused by one or more flexible peptide linkers. In some embodiments, a dimeric molecule can be generated with four binding sites based on the single-chain diabody format, the tandem diabody.
[0313] In some embodiments, the diabody-based bispecific molecule is a Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting Molecules (DART). In some embodiments, the DART comprises two polypeptide chains (VLmAbl-VHmAb2 / VLmAb2-VHmAbl). In some embodiments, the two polypeptide chains are linked by one or more disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, the disulfide bonds provide the molecule with greater stability. In some embodiments, the disulfide bonds may be formed due to the presence of a cysteine residue at the C-terminus. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule described herein is a DART. More details on scFv-Based bispecific molecules can be found in Ahamadi-Fesharaki, R., et al., “SingleChain Variable Fragment-Based Bispecific Antibodies: Hitting Two Targets with One Sophisticated Arrow,” Mol Ther Oncolytics. 2019 Sep 27; 14: 38-56, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0314] In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody comprises a first and second chain. In some embodiments, the first chain comprises an scFv with specificity for a first antigen and the second chain comprises an scFv with specificity for a second antigen. In some embodiments, the first and second chains each further comprise a Fc domain. In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody comprises a first and a second heavy chain and a first and a second light chain. The pairing of the first VH and first VL chains together can form a single antigen-binding site specific for a first antigen and the pairing of the second VH and second VL together forms a single antigen-binding site specific for a second antigen. In some embodiments, the first antigen is a LILRB4 protein. In some embodiments, the second antigen is a LILRB2 protein.
[0315] In some embodiments, the bispecific antibodies disclosed herein may contain substitutions or modifications of the constant region (i.e., the Fc region). The antibodies disclosed herein may contain one or more additional amino acid residue substitutions,mutations and / or modifications, which result in a compound with preferred characteristics including, but not limited to: altered pharmacokinetics, increased serum half-life, increase binding affinity, reduced binding affinity, reduced immunogenicity, increased production, altered Fc ligand binding, altered glycosylation and / or disulfide bonds and modified binding specificity.

[0366] Production of Bispecific Molecules
[0367] The bispecific molecules disclosed herein can be produced by any method known in the art. In some embodiments, the bispecific antibodies disclosed herein are produced by culturing a cell transfected or transformed with one or more vectors comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding a bispecific molecule described herein. In some embodiments the method of production comprises isolating the bispecific molecule.
[0368] In some embodiments, the bispecific molecules are synthesized by methods which result in molecules that are not contaminated by other immunoglobulins. In some embodiments, the parental monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the presentinvention may be made by a variety of techniques known in the art, including, for example, the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display technologies, B-cell discovery methods, and technologies for producing human or human-like antibodies in animals that have parts or all of the human immunoglobulin loci or genes encoding human immunoglobulin sequences.
[0369] In some embodiments, expression of a bispecific molecule comprises expression vector(s) containing a polynucleotide that encodes an anti-LILRB4 or anti-LILRB4 / LILRB2 antibody. Methods that are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors comprising bispecific molecules coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional and translational control signals. These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination. Particular embodiments provide replicable vectors comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an anti-LILRB4 and anti- LILRB2 bispecific molecule disclosed herein operably linked to a promoter. In preferred embodiments, such vectors may include one or more nucleotide sequences encoding the heavy chain of a bispecific antibody (or fragment thereof), a nucleotide sequence encoding the light chain of a bispecific antibody (or fragment thereof), or a nucleotide sequence encoding both the heavy and light chain of a bispecifc antibody (or fragment thereof).
[0370] The polynucleotide(s) encoding the bispecific antibody may be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy- and light-chain constant domains or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide chain. Typically, such nonimmunoglobulin polypeptides are substituted for the constant domains of an antibody.
[0371] Various expression systems for producing antibodies are known in the art, and include, prokaryotic (e.g., bacteria), plant, insect, yeast, and mammalian expression systems. Suitable cell lines, can be transformed, transduced, or transfected with nucleic acids containing coding sequences for antibodies or portions of antibodies disclosed herein in order to produce the antibody of interest. Expression vectors containing such nucleic acid sequences, which can be linked to at least one regulatory sequence in a manner that allows expression of the nucleotide sequence in a host cell, can be introduced via methods known in the art. Practitioners in the art understand that designing an expression vector can depend on factors, such as the choice of host cell to be transfected and / or the type and / or amount of desired protein to be expressed. Enhancer regions, which are those sequences found upstream or downstream of the promoter region in non-coding DNA regions, are also knownin the art to be important in optimizing expression. If needed, origins of replication from viral sources can be employed, such as if a prokaryotic host is utilized for introduction of plasmid DNA. However, in eukaryotic organisms, chromosome integration is a common mechanism for DNA replication. For stable transfection of mammalian cells, a small fraction of cells can integrate introduced DNA into their genomes. The expression vector and transfection method utilized can be factors that contribute to a successfill integration event. For stable amplification and expression of a desired protein, a vector containing DNA encoding a protein of interest (e.g., antibodies and fragments thereof) is stably integrated into the genome of eukaryotic cells (for example mammalian cells), resulting in the stable expression of transfected genes. A gene that encodes a selectable marker (for example, resistance to antibiotics or drugs) can be introduced into host cells along with the gene of interest in order to identify and select clones that stably express a gene encoding a protein of interest. Cells containing the gene of interest can be identified by drug selection wherein cells that have incorporated the selectable marker gene will survive in the presence of the drug. Cells that have not incorporated the gene for the selectable marker die. Surviving cells can then be screened for the production of the desired antibody molecule. A person of skill in the art would recognize that methods for producing antibodies know in the art can be adapted to produce bispecific antibodies and or any bispecific molecules without an Fc domain.
[0372] In some embodiments, the bispecific molecules disclosed herein are encoded in one or more vectors for expression in a cell line. In some embodiments, the one or more vectors comprise one or more polynucleotide sequences that encode an anti-LILRB4 and anti-LILRB2 bispecific molecule. In some embodiments, the one or more vectors are transfected into one or more cell lines for expression. In some embodiments, the one or more vectors comprise polynucleotide sequences encoding one or more light chains and one or more heavy chains of the bispecific antibodies described here. For example, in some embodiments, a first vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a first light chain, a second vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a first heavy chain, of an anti-LILRB4 and anti-LILRB2 bispecific antibody while a third vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a second light chain, a fourth vector may comprise a polynucleotide sequence encoding a second heavy chain, of an anti-LILRB4 and anti- LILRB2 bispecific antibody. In some embodiments, all four vectors are transfected into one or more cell lines for expression. A host cell strain, which modulates the expression of the inserted sequences, or modifies and processes the nucleic acid in a specific fashion desired also may be chosen. Such modifications (for example, glycosylation and other post-translational modifications) and processing (for example, cleavage) of protein products may be important for the function of the bispecific molecules. Different host cell strains have characteristic and specific mechanisms for the post-translational processing and modification of proteins and gene products. As such, appropriate host systems or cell lines can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the foreign antibody expressed. Thus, eukaryotic host cells possessing the cellular machinery for proper processing of the primary transcript, glycosylation, and phosphorylation of the gene product may be used.
