[0003] Disclosed herein are antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind target antigens (e g., tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A (TL1A)), and polypeptides comprising variant Fc regions.BACKGROUND
[0004] Antibodies capable of binding certain target antigens can, in some contexts and examples, provide candidate therapeutics for treatment of diseases associated with those target antigens. For example, antibodies capable of binding cytokines associated with inflammatory diseases and / or autoimmune conditions may be potential therapeutics for those diseases and / or conditions.
[0005] Tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A (TL1A), also known as TNFSF15, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family and is expressed in different immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, as well as in various non- immune cells. TL1A has been shown to be abnormally expressed in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, primary biliary- cirrhosis. systemic lupus erythematosus, and ankylosing spondylitis. Interleukin 113 (IL1 J3) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in innate immune responses. IL 1 (3 isassociated with diseases and conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and autoimmune conditions. Interleukin 13 (IL 13) is a cytokine that is involved in regulating immune responses. IL 13 is associated with diseases and conditions including allergic inflammation, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine involved in initiating immune responses. TSLP is associated with diseases and conditions including allergic inflammation, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Interleukin 15 (IL 15) is a cytokine that is involved in inflammatory immune responses and modulation of innate and adaptive immune cells. IL 15 is associated with diseases and conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory' bowel disease. There is a need for therapeutics that target such autoimmune diseases. Therapeutic antibodies are limited by certain pharmacokinetic properties, including the half-life of the antibody within the body. Antibody half-life directly affects the required dosing interval for therapeutic antibodies. One factor that affects antibody half-life is the affinity' with which the Fc region of the antibody binds the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). There is a need for variant Fc domains with improved pharmacokinetic properties, including increased half-life.SUMMARY

[0056] Provided herein are antibodies and therapeutic uses of such antibodies. The antibodies disclosed herein have favorable pharmacokinetics, low immunogenicity, and high efficacy.
[0057] Tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A (TL1A, UniProt ID: 95150), also known as TNFSF15, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family. TL1 A activates signaling pathways that modulate inflammation and apoptosis. Binding of TL1A to its receptor death receptor 3 (DR3) can lead to interaction of DR3 with adaptor protein TNFR-associated death domain protein (TRADD). recruitment of TRAF2 and R1P1, and signaling through MAP kinases (ERK, p38, and JNK), NF-KB, and PI3K, resulting in expression of pro-inflammatory genes. TRADD can also bind Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and RIP3, leading to activation of caspase pathways (for example, caspase-3 and -7) and apoptotic cell death.TL1 A can be expressed by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), T cells, and non- immune cells such as synovial fibroblasts and endothelial cells. TL1 A is constitutively expressed in endothelial cells and is up-regulated in response to tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) stimulation. Expression of TL1A in DCs and macrophages is increased by TLR4, TLR11, or Fc region of IgG (FcyR) signaling. TL1A has been shown to be abnormally expressed in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bow el disease, psoriasis, primary biliary cirrhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and ankylosing spondylitis. There is a need for therapeutics that target such autoimmune diseases. TL1 A antibodies are designed to block its interaction with DR3, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways associated with inflammation, offering a therapeutic approach to treating autoimmune diseases.
[0058] Interleukin 1(3 (ILip, UniProt ID: 01584), also known as IL1F2 or catabolin, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in innate immune responses. ILip is produced as an inactive precursor (pro-ILip) and is activated by cleavage via caspase- 1, which is part of the inflammasome complex. ILip is secreted via non-classical secretory pathways. IL 1 P binds to the IL1 receptor type 1 and signals through NF-kB and MAP kinase pathways. Downstream effects of ILip signaling include inflammation, production of IL6 and TNF-a, and promotion of Thl7 differentiation of T cells. ILip is associated with diseases and conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and autoimmune conditions.
[0059] Interleukin 13 (IL 13, UniProt ID: P35225), also known as NC30, is a cytokine that is involved in regulating immune responses. IL 13 is produced by Th2 cells, innate lymphoid cells, mast cells, and basophils. IL 13 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of IL13Ral and IL4Ra and signals through JAK-STAT pathways, resulting in translocation of STATs (e.g, STAT6) to the nucleus and transcription of IL13 responsive genes. Downstream effects of IL 13 signaling include B-cell proliferation, activation of eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells, and control of IL33 activity and proinflammatory cytokine production. IL13 is associated with diseases and conditions including allergic inflammation, asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
[0060] Thy mic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP, UniProt ID: Q969D9) is an epithelial cell- derived cytokine involved in initiating immune responses. TSLP is produced by epithelial cells at barrier surfaces including skin, gut, lungs, and thymus. TSLP binds to the TSLP receptor (TSLPR), a heterodimer of the IL7 receptor alpha chain and the TSLPR chain, and signals through MAPK and JAK-STAT pathways, resulting in translocation of STATs (e.g, STAT5) to the nucleus and transcription of responsive genes. Downstream effects of TSLP signaling include Th2 polarization of T cells, T-cell proliferation. Th2 cytokine production, and B-cell expansion and differentiation. TSLP is associated with diseases and conditions including allergic inflammation, asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
[0061] Interleukin 15 (IL 15, UniProt ID: P40933) is a cytokine that is involved in inflammatory immune responses and modulation of innate and adaptive immune cells. IL15 is produced by monocytes and dendritic cells, and can be secreted and / or expressed as a membrane-bound complex. IL 15 binds to a receptor complex comprising IL15Ra, IL2 / 15R|3 (CD122), and the common gamma chain (CD132), and signals through JAK-STAT pathways and PI3K, resulting in translocation of STATs (e.g, STAT3 and STAT5) to the nucleus and transcription of responsive genes. Downstream effects of IL15 signaling include stimulation of natural killer (NK) cell. B-cell, and T-cell proliferation, NK cell differentiation, and memory CD8 T cell responses. IL 15 is associated with diseases and conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.ANTIBODIES
[0062] RVT-3101, a human monoclonal antibody that binds TL1A, is in development for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. AVTX-009, APG-777; AIO-001, and CALY-002 are human monoclonal antibodies that bind IL 1J3, IL 13. TSLP, and IL 15. respectively. Theseantibodies are in development for treatment of hi dradenitis suppurativa (AVTX-009) atopic dermatitis and asthma (APG-777). asthma (AIO-OOl), and eosinophilic esophagitis and celiac disease (C ALY-002), respectively. However, these antibodies have a number of limitations including pharmacokinetic properties that require administration every month. In some embodiments, limitations also include high immunogenicity observed in Phase 1 clinical studies. These limitations demonstrate the need for development of antibodies with improved pharmacokinetics, reduced immunogenicity, and equipotent or superior efficacy.
[0063] In contrast, the antibodies provided herein (e.g., anti-TLIA, anti-ILl(3, anti-IL13, anti-TSLP, and anti-IL15 antibodies) demonstrate advantages as described herein that make them useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases and conditions.
[0064] Provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind a target antigen (e.g, TL1A IL 1 (3, IL13, TSLP, or IL15). The disclosed antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, and cells may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying figures, which form a part of this disclosure. It is to be understood that the disclosed antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, and cells are not limited to the specific antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, and cells described and / or shown herein, and that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, and cells.
[0065] Unless specifically stated otherwise, any description as to a possible mechanism or mode of action or reason for improvement is meant to be illustrative only, and the disclosed antibodies, nucleic acids, vectors, and cells are not to be constrained by the correctness or incorrectness of any such suggested mechanism or mode of action or reason for improvement.
[0066] The antibodies provided herein have several advantages over their respective comparator antibodies. For example, the anti-TLIA antibodies provided herein have several advantages over RVT-3101 (disclosed, e.g., in US 9,023,358 B2 and W02015073580A1). The anti-TLI A antibodies provided herein have been engineered to have improved potency in blocking DR3 signaling induced by TL1 A. The anti-IL13 antibodies provided herein have been engineered to have improved potency in blocking IL4 / IL13 signaling pathway and target cell proliferation induced by IL 13.

The anti-IL15 antibodies provided herein have been engineered to have improved potency in blocking pro-inflammatory’ responses induced by IL 15 and lower self-association / aggregation propensity. The anti-TSLP antibodies provided herein have been engineered to have improved potency in blocking release of inflammatory cytokines and transmission of downstream inflammatory’ signals induced by TSLP.
[0067] Critically, these antibodies also have improved pharmacokinetic properties {e.g., longer half-life) compared to RVT-3101. The anti-ILip antibodies provided herein have several advantages over AVTX-009 (disclosed, e.g., in WO2021150486A1). The anti-IL13 antibodies provided herein have several advantages over APG-777 (disclosed, e.g., in WO2023245187A2). The anti-TSLP antibodies provided herein have several advantages over AIO-OOl (disclosed, e.g., in WO2020244544A1). The anti-IL15 antibodies provided herein have several advantages over CALY-002 (disclosed, e.g., in US11130806B2). The bispecific antibodies provided herein (e.g., the bispecific IL13 x TSLP antibodies) have several advantages over the respective comparator antibodies for the first antigen-binding domain and the second antigen-binding domain (e g., over APG-777 and AIO-OOl).
[0068] Antibodies and antigen-binding portions disclosed herein specifically bind a human target antigen (e.g., human TL1A). In some embodiments, the antibodies and antigen-binding portions disclosed herein bind human TL1A, IL 113, IL13, TSLP, or IL15. In some embodiments, antibodies and antigen-binding portions may cross-react with the target antigen (e.g., TL1A) from species other than human, for example, cynomolgus monkey {Macaca fascicularis) target antigen, rhesus monkey {Macaca mulatto target antigen, and / or mouse {Mus musculus) target antigen. For example, the anti-TLIA antibodies and antigen-binding portions disclosed herein may cross-react with cynomolgus monkey Macaca fascicularis) TL1 A, rhesus monkey {Macaca mulatto) TL1A, and / or mouse {Mus musculus) TL1 A. In some embodiments, an antibody may be specific for only the human target antigen {e.g., human TL1 A) and may exhibit no non-human cross-reactivity. Exemplary amino acid sequences of target antigens (e g., TL1A) are provided in Table 8.
[0069] The term “antibody” broadly refers to an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule, generally, comprising four polypeptide chains, two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains, or any functional fragment, mutant, variant, or derivative thereof, that retains the essential target binding features of an 1g molecule. Such mutant, variant, or derivative antibody formats are known in the art.
[0070] In a full-length antibody, each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH region) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three domains, CHI, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL region) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises one domain, CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). Each VH domain and VL domain is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus in the following order: FR1 , CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The CDR definition used in the present application is the Kabat definition unless otherwise stated (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5thed. Bethesda, MD: Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health (1991)).
[0071] The term “Fc region’’ is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. The “Fc region” may be a native sequence Fc region or a variant Fc region. 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 numbering of the residues in the Fc region is according to the EU index as in Kabat. The Fc region of an immunoglobulin generally comprises two constant domains, CH2 and CH3. An Fc region can be present in dimer or monomeric form. The Fc region binds to various cell receptors, such as Fc receptors, and other immune molecules, such as complement proteins. Exemplary amino acid sequences of Fc regions are provided in Table 9.
[0072] Immunoglobulin molecules can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA or IgY) and class (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl or IgA2) or subclass. IgG, IgD, and IgE antibodies generally contain two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains and two antigen combining domains, each composed of a VH) and a VL. Generally IgA antibodies are composed of two monomers, each monomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains (as for IgG, IgD, and IgE antibodies); in this way the IgA molecule has four antigen binding domains, each again composed of a VH and a VL. Certain IgA antibodies are monomeric in that they are composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Secreted IgM antibodies are generally composed of five monomers, each monomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains (as for IgG and IgE antibodies). Thus,the IgM molecule has ten antigen binding domains, each again composed of a VH and a VL. A cell surface form of IgM has a two heavy chain / two light chain structure similar to IgG, IgD and IgE antibodies.
[0073] The term '‘antigen-binding portion" or '‘antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody (or “antibody portion” or “antibody fragment”), as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., TL1 A ). It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by portions or fragments of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding portions encompassed within the term “antigen binding portion” of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CHI domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) a dAb (domain antibody) fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544-546; WO 90 / 05144 Al, each herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), which comprises a single variable domain; and (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR). The disclosure also encompasses a Fab' fragment. Fab' fragments can be formed by the reduction of F(ab')2 fragments. Fab' is derived from F(ab')2; therefore, it may contain a small portion of Fc. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH domains pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv). See e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883. Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term '‘antigen-binding portion” of an antibody. In some embodiments, scFv molecules may be incorporated into a fusion protein. In some embodiments, provided herein is a single chain camelid antibody. In some embodiments, provided herein is a shark heavy chain antibody (V-NAR). See, English et al. (2020) Antibody Therapeutics, 3(1): 1-9. Examples of antigen-binding portions are known in the art (Kontermann and Dubel eds., Antibody Engineering (2001) Springer-Verlag. New York. 790 pp.). In some embodiments, provided herein is a single domain antibody. In general, the term “antibody” when used herein encompasses an “antibody portion”. An antibody portion generally retains the antigen-binding properties of a full-length antibody.
[0074] Antibodies and antibody portions provided herein may be in multispecific (e.g., bispecific or trispecific) formats. Such multispecific molecules specifically bind to two or more different molecular targets or epitopes. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a bispecific molecule that binds specifically to a first antigen and a second antigen, wherein the first antigen and the second antigen are not the same. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a bispecific molecule that binds specifically to a first antigen and a second antigen, wherein the first antigen is IL 13, and the second antigen is not IL13. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a bispecific molecule that binds specifically to a first antigen and a second antigen, wherein the first antigen is TSLP, and the second antigen is not TSLP. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a bispecific molecule that binds specifically to a first antigen and a second antigen, wherein the first antigen is IL 13, and the second antigen is TSLP. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a bispecific molecule that binds specifically to a first antigen and a second antigen, wherein the first antigen is TL1A and the second antigen is not TL1A. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a diabody. Diabodies are bivalent, bispecific antibodies in which VH and VL domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen-binding sites (see e.g.. Holliger et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444- 6448; Poljak et al. (1994) Structure 2: 1121 -1123). In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a triabody, a tetrabody, a bis-scFv or a tandem scFv. In some embodiments, an antibody or an antigen-binding portion is a dual affinity re-targeting protein.
[0075] In some embodiments, an antigen-binding portion disclosed herein is a Fab, a Fab', a F(ab')2. a Fv, a scFv, a maxibody, a minibody, a diabody, a triabody, a tetrabody, or a bis- scFv.
[0076] As used herein, the terms “immunological binding” and “immunological binding properties” refer to the non-covalent interactions of the ty pe w hich occur between an immunoglobulin molecule (e.g., antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) and an antigen for which the immunoglobulin is specific. The strength, or affinity of immunological binding interactions can be expressed in terms of the dissociation constant (Kd) of the interaction, wherein a smaller Kd represents a greater affinity. Immunological binding properties of selected polypeptides can be quantified using methods well known in the art. One suchmethod entails measuring the rates of antigen-binding site / antigen complex formation and dissociation, wherein those rates depend on the concentrations of the complex partners, the affinity of the interaction, and geometric parameters that equally influence the rate in both directions. Thus, both the "on rate constant" (Kon) and the “off rate constant” (Koff) can be determined by calculation of the concentrations and the actual rates of association and dissociation. (See, Malmqvist, Nature 361: 186-187 (1993)). The ratio of Koff / Kon enables the cancellation of all parameters not related to affinity and is equal to the dissociation constant Ka. (See, Davies et al. (1990) Annual Rev Biochem 59:439-473). An antibody or antigenbinding portion provided herein is said to specifically bind the target antigen (e.g., TL1A) when the equilibrium binding constant (Kd) is <10 p.M, preferably < 10 nM, more preferably < 10 nM, and most preferably < 100 pM to about 1 pM, as measured by assays such as radioligand binding assays or similar assays known to those skilled in the art. One method for determining the Kd of an antibody is by using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), typically using a biosensor system such as a Biacore® system.
[0077] In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding portion provided herein (e.g., an anti-TLl A antibody or antigen-binding portion) is monovalent or bivalent and comprises a single or double chain. Functionally, the binding affinity of an antibody or antigen-binding portion may be within the range of 10’5M to IO’12M. For example, the binding affinity of an antibody or antigen-binding portion is from 10-6M to 10"12M, from 10’7M to 10"12M, from 10’8M to IO’12M, from IO'9M to IO'12M, from 10'3M to 10’11M, from IO’6M to 10'11M, from IO’7M to 10’11M, from 10'8M to 10'11M, from 10'9M to 10’11M, from IO'10M to 10'11M, from 10'5M to IO'10M, from 10'6M to 10’10M, from IO'7M to IO'10M, from 10'8M to IO’10M, from 10’9M to IO’10M, from 10'3M to IO'9M, from IO'6M to I O’9M. from IO'7M to IO’9M. from 10’8M to IO’9M. from 10’3M to 10’8M. from IO’6M to 10’8M. from IO’7M to 10’8M, from 10'5M to 1 O'7M, from 10'6M to 1 O'7M or from 10'5M to 10'6M.

As used herein, an ‘’antagonist” or an “antagonist antibody” (interchangeably termed “anti-[target antigen] antibody”, wherein [target antigen] is replaced with any target antigen disclosed herein) refers to an antibody which is able to bind to the target antigen and inhibit biological activity and / or downstream pathway (s) mediated by the target antigen. An antagonist antibody encompasses antibodies that can block, antagonize, suppress or reduce (including significantly) the biological activity of the target antigen, including downstream pathways mediated by target antigen signalling, such as receptor binding and / or elicitation of a cellular response to the target antigen. For the purposes of the present disclosure, it will be explicitly understood that the term “antagonist antibody” encompasses all the terms, titles, and functional states and characteristics whereby the target antigen itself, and the biological activity of the target antigen (including but not limited to its ability to suppress the activation of anti -tumor cell activity of T cells), or the consequences of the activity or biological activity, are substantially nullified, decreased, or neutralized in a meaningful degree.
[0085] For example, an “anti-TLIA antagonist antibody” or “anti-TLl A antibody” refers to an antibody which is able to bind to TL1A and inhibit TL1 A biological activity and / or downstream path way (s) mediated by TL1A signalling. An anti-TLIA antagonist antibody encompasses antibodies that can block, antagonize, suppress or reduce (including significantly) TL1 A biological activity, including downstream pathways mediated by TL1 A signalling, such as receptor binding and / or elicitation of a cellular response to TL1A. For the purposes of the present disclosure, it will be explicitly understood that the term “anti-TLIA antagonist antibody” encompasses all the terms, titles, and functional states and characteristics whereby TL1A itself, and TL1 A biological activity (including but not limited to its ability to suppress the activation of anti -tumor cell activity of T cells), or theconsequences of the activity or biological activity, are substantially nullified, decreased, or neutralized in a meaningful degree.
[0086] Further provided herein are antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind TL1 A, wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL).

[0296] Unless otherwise noted, the terms used herein have definitions as ordinarily used in the art. Some terms are defined below, and additional definitions can be found within the rest of the detailed description.
[0297] The term ‘‘a” or "an ” refers to one or more of that entity, i.e.. can refer to plural referents. As such, the terms “a,” “an,” "one or more,” and “at least one” are used interchangeably herein. In addition, reference to “an element” by the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there is one and only one of the elements.
[0298] Throughout this application, the term “about” is used to indicate that a value includes the inherent variation of error for the device or the method being employed to determine the value, or the variation that exists among the samples being measured. Unless otherwise stated or otherwise evident from the context, the term “about” means within 10% above or below the reported numerical value (except where such number would exceed 100% of a possible value or go below 0%). When used in conjunction with a range or series of values, the term “about” applies to the endpoints of the range or each of the values enumerated in the series, unless otherwise indicated. As used in this application, the terms “about” and “approximately” are used as equivalents.
[0299] As used herein, the term “sequence identity” refers to the extent to which two optimally aligned polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences are invariant throughout a window of alignment of residues, e.g. nucleotides or amino acids. An “identity fraction” for aligned segments of a test sequence and a reference sequence is the number of identical residues which are shared by the two aligned sequences divided by the total number of residues in the reference sequence segment, i.e. the entire reference sequence or a smaller defined part of the reference sequence. “Percent identity” is the identity' fraction times 100. Percentage identity can be calculated using the alignment program Clustal Omega, availableat ebi.ac.uk / Tools / msa / clustalo using default parameters. See, Sievers et al., “Fast, scalable generation of high-quality protein multiple sequence alignments using Clustal Omega” (2011 October 11) Molecular systems biology 7:539. For the purposes of calculating identity to the sequence, extensions, such as tags, are not included.
[0300] As used herein, the term “HCDR” refers to a heavy chain complementarity determining region. As used herein, the term “LCDR” refers to a light chain complementarity determining region.
[0301] As used herein, the term “conservative substitution” refers to replacement of an amino acid with another amino acid which does not significantly deleteriously change the functional activity. A preferred example of a “conservative substitution” is the replacement of one amino acid with another amino acid which has a value > 0 in the following BLOSUM 62 substitution matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff. 1992, PNAS 89: 10915-10919):
[0302] “Antibody-drug conjugate” and “immunoconjugate” refer to an antibody molecule, or antigen-binding portion thereof, including antibody derivatives, that binds to TL1A and is conjugated to cytotoxic, cytostatic and / or therapeutic agents.
[0303] The term “isolated molecule” (where the molecule is, for example, a polypeptide, a polynucleotide, or an antibody) is a molecule that by virtue of its origin or source of derivation (1) is not associated with naturally associated components that accompany it in its native state, (2) is substantially free of other molecules from the same species (3) is expressed by a cell from a different species, or (4) does not occur in nature. Thus, a molecule that ischemically synthesized, or expressed in a cellular system different from the cell from which it naturally originates, will be "‘isolated” from its naturally associated components. A molecule also may be rendered substantially free of naturally associated components by isolation, using purification techniques well known in the art. Molecule purity or homogeneity may be assayed by a number of means well known in the art. For example, the purity of a polypeptide sample may be assayed using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and staining of the gel to visualize the polypeptide using techniques well known in the art. For certain purposes, higher resolution may be provided by using HPLC or other means well known in the art for purification.
[0304] The term “epitope” refers to that portion of a molecule capable of being recognized by and bound by an antibody molecule, or antigen-binding portion thereof, at one or more of the antibody molecule's antigen-binding regions. Epitopes can consist of defined regions of primary secondary or tertiary protein structure and includes combinations of secondary structural units or structural domains of the target recognized by the antigen binding regions of the antibody, or antigen-binding portion thereof. Epitopes can likewise consist of a defined chemically active surface grouping of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics as well as specific charge characteristics. The term “antigenic epitope” as used herein, is defined as a portion of a polypeptide to which an antibody molecule can specifically bind as determined by any method well known in the art, for example, by conventional immunoassays, antibody competitive binding assays or by x-ray crystallography or related structural determination methods (for example, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy).
[0305] The term “potency” is a measurement of biological activity and may be designated as IC50, ECso, or effective concentration of an antibody or antibody drug conjugate to the antigen TL1A to inhibit 50% of activity measured in a TL1 A activity assay as described herein.
[0306] The term “inhibit” or “neutralize” as used herein with respect to bioactivity of an antibody disclosed herein means the ability of the antibody to substantially antagonize, prohibit, prevent, restrain, slow, disrupt, eliminate, stop, reduce or reverse for example progression or severity of that which is being inhibited including, but not limited to, a biological activity or binding interaction of the antibody molecule to TL1 A.
[0307] In the present description, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range is to be understood to include the value of any integer within the recited range and, when appropriate, fractions thereof (such as one tenth and one hundredth of an integer), unless otherwise indicated. The use of the alternative (e g., “or”) should be understood to mean either one, both, or any combination thereof of the alternatives. As used herein, the terms “include” and “comprise” are used synonymously.
[0308] The term “comprising” is intended to include examples encompassed by the terms “consisting essentially of’ and “consisting of;” similarly, the term “consisting essentially of’ is intended to include examples encompassed by the term “consisting of.”
[0309] The phrase “immunospecifically binds” refers to the ability of the disclosed antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof to preferentially bind to TL1A without preferentially binding other molecules. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that immunospecifically bind TL1 A are substantially free of other antibodies or antigenbinding fragments having different antigenic specificities. Antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that immunospecifically bind TL1 A, however, can have cross-reactivity to other antigens, such as orthologs of human TL1A. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof are able to immunospecifically bind both naturally-produced human TL1A and to TL1 A which is recombinantly produced in mammalian or prokaryotic cells.
[0310] “Antigen-binding fragments” refer to a portion of the TL1 A antibodies that retain the antigen binding properties of the parental full length TL1 A antibody. Exemplary antigenbinding fragments can comprise heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDR) 1, 2, and 3. and light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDR) 1, 2. and 3. Antigen-binding fragments can include, for example, a Fab fragment, a F(ab)2 fragment, a Fv fragment, a single chain Fv (scFv), and a diabody. Antigen-binding fragments can be obtained using techniques well known to those of skill in the art, and the fragments can be screened for utility in the same manner as are full length antibodies.

[0314] The following examples are provided to further describe some of the embodiments disclosed herein. The examples are intended to illustrate, not to limit, the disclosed embodiments.Example 1. FcRn binding affinities of antibodies comprising Fc substitutions
[0315] DNA constructs encoding antibodies with a C-terminal fused assay tag were ordered from Gene Fragments. These antibodies were expressed using a prokaryotic in vitro translation system with a disulfide bond enhancer.
[0316] Materials utilized in the assay included K Buffer (Assay Buffer) containing 0.02% BSA and 0.002% Tween-20 in PBS, pH 7.4, sourced from Gator Bio, Regen Buffer comprising 10 mM Glycine, pH 1.7, from Gator Bio, and Strep-Tactin XT probes. The protocol involved preparing samples of interest by diluting them in Assay Buffer, then performing analyte dilution series by diluting recombinant purified antigen into assay buffer to the correct target concentration. Samples were loaded into a sample plate and positioned in the plate positions on the BLI device. The assay w as conducted in a temperature-controlled environment at 25°C with shaking conditions set to 1000 rpm, recording data at a frequency of 5 Hz. Protocol cycles included Initial Baseline, Sample Loading. Baseline, Second Baseline. Association, and Dissociation steps. Probes were regenerated after each cyclefollowing a recommended protocol of regeneration and neutralization. This cycle was repeated for every subsequent analyte concentration, typically ranging from 4 to 6 concentrations.
[0317] Using Biolayer Interferometry (BLI), AB_TL1 A_02_004 was shown to have the binding affinities provided in Table 10 below.Table 10. Binding affinity of AB TL1A 02 004
[0318] To perform SPR analysis using the Biacore 8K and Protein A Chip, the chip was equilibrated with Running Buffer (lxHBS-EP+). A solution of the capture ligand (0.35 pg / mL antibody) was prepared in Running Buffer and injected over the chip surface at a flow rate of 10 pL / min for 30 sec until a stable capture level of about 210-470 RU was achieved, followed by washing to remove excess ligand. For sample analysis, analyte samples were prepared in Running Buffer and injected over the chip surface at a flow rate of 30 pL / min for association (180 seconds) and dissociation (3600 seconds). The chip surface was regenerated between sample injections using a regeneration buffer such as 10 mM Gly-HCl, pH 1.5 at a flow rate of 30 pL / min. Sensorgram data was analyzed to determine binding kinetics and affinity, and the steps were repeated for additional samples as needed. The chip was thoroughly washed and regenerated after the experiment, and stored according to manufacturer’s recommendations. The data was analyzed using Biacore evaluation software to calculate kinetic parameters for observed interactions.
[0319] Using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), AB TL1A 02 004, AB_TL1 A_02_004_HL2, and AB TL1 A HL9 002 were shown to have the binding affinities provided in Table 11 below.Table 11. Binding affinities of anti-TLIA antibodiesExample 2. Anti-TLIA antibodies with superior inhibition of TLlA-mediated apoptosis
[0320] TF-1 cells were seeded at a density of 3E4 cells per well in 96-Well White Opaque Plates, with 50pL per well. A titration of antibody was prepared by 3-fold dilution with a top concentration of 200nM. The antibody dilutions were then mixed cycloheximide and TL1 A to achieve final concentrations of 33pM and lOnM, respectively, with 25pL added per well. Plates were subsequently incubated for 6 hours at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Following the incubation period, apoptosis was detected using the Caspase-Gio® 3 / 7 Assay kit, and luminescence was measured using an Envision plate reader. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 9.0. anti-TLl A antibodies were shown to inhibit TL1 A- induced apoptosis with IC50s provided in Table 12 below.Table 12. Neutralization of TL1A by anti-TLIA antibodiesExample 3. Anti-TLIA antibodies with superior TL1A receptor blocking
[0321] Plates were coated with 4|ig / mL of DR3 / Fc or Ipg / mL of DcR3 / Fc by adding lOOpL per well, and were incubated overnight at 4°C. IxPBST was added at 200[iL per well, and after a 10-second incubation, the liquid was poured out and the plate was pat dried on blotting paper. This process was repeated three times. The plates were then blocked with 2%BSA in IxPBST at 200pL per well for 2 hours at room temperature (RT), followed by a similar washing step. Antibodies were diluted, and test antibodies were serially diluted andpre-incubated with biotinylated recombinant human TL1 A at 3.5 nM for 30 minutes. This mixture was then added to the DR3 / Fc or DcR3 / Fc coated wells and incubated at RT for 1 hour. Further washing steps were performed, followed by the addition of a secondary antibody at lOOpL per well, which was incubated at RT for 0.5 hours. Additional washing steps were conducted, and TMB was added to each well at lOOpL and incubated at RT for 15 minutes. The reaction was stopped with lOOpL of 2M HC1 stop solution per well, and the plates were read with a microplate reader at 450 nm. For buffer preparation, coating buffer consisted of IxPBS, washing buffer was 0.05% tween-20 in lx PBS, blocking buffer was 1%BSA in IxPBST, and both test antibody dilution buffer and secondary' antibody dilution buffer were prepared using blocking buffer.
[0322] Anti-TLIA antibodies were shown to neutralize binding of TL1A to DR3 / Fc or DcR3 / Fc with IC50s as provided in Table 13 below.Table 13. Blocking of TL1A receptor binding by anti-TLIA antibodiesExample 4. Anti-TLIA antibodies with low immunogenicity
[0323] Immunogenicity of anti-TLIA antibody candidates AB_TL1A_O2_OO4_HL2 and AB_TL1A_HL9_OO2 was predicted using AlphaMHC v4.0.1(WeComput Technology ), and is shown in Table 14A below. AB_TL1A_O2_OO4_HL2 is predicted to have comparable immunogenicity, and AB TL1 A HL9 002 is predicted to have low immunogenicity, compared to that of comparator antibody RVT-3101 .Table 14A. Immunogenicity of anti-TLIA antibodies
[0216] Immunogenicity of antibodies was predicted using an AlphaMHC v4.1.0 (WeComput Technology). Antibodies comprising a domain capable of binding TL1A were assessed. Immunogenicity data is shown in Table 14B below. Antibodies with the Q311R. M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions had lower immunogenicity or substantially similar immunogenicity to RVT-3101.Table 14B. Immunogenicity of anti-TLIA antibodies
[0324] Immunogenicity' of antibodies disclosed herein is tested by cytokine release assay with PBMCs and / or whole blood from healthy donors. One or more antibodies produce comparable or lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to comparator antibodies (e.g, RVT-3101).Example 5. Antibodies with increased FcRn affinity
[0325] Binding affinities of anti-TLl A antibody candidates AB TL1 A 02 004 HL2 and AB TL1 A HL9 002 for FcRn was measured by SPR. FcRn binding kinetics at pH 6.0 and pH 7.4 were measured using a Biacore® 8K instrument (Cytiva) with a CM5 chip. Binding affinities are presented in Table 15 below.Table 15. Binding affinities of anti-TLIA antibodies for FcRn
[0326] To perform SPR analysis using a Biacore 8K and CM5 chip, the TL1 A antibody was immobilized at 10 pg / mL concentration and binding to the human FcRn analyte at various concentrations (2-fold dilutions from 6000 nM) was tested. The lx PBST running buffer was prepared at both pH 6.0 and pH 7.4. Kinetic measurements were obtained for association and dissociation times of 60 and 90 seconds, respectively, at a flow rate of 30 pL / min. The CM5 chips were regenerated with lx PBS (pH 7.4). Kinetic parameters for the concentration series at both pHs were fit to a steady state affinity model and averaged using the Biacore Evaluation Software. Each concentration series was fit independently to obtain the average rates and binding affinities. The half-life was compared to that of the commercial antibody, RVT-3101, which is known to have a 3-week half-life. Binding affinities for the following TLlA-binding antibodies are provided in Table 16 below.Table 16. Binding affinities of anti-TLIA antibodies for FcRn* Fold Increase (FI) relative to RVT-3101 (Roche)
[0327] Antibodies comprising the Q311R and M428L substitutions (TL1A 02 004 HL3) or the H433K and N434F substitutions (AB_TL1 A_02_004_HL4 containing) resulted in a 5.3-fold and 18.5-fold increase, respectively, in FcRn binding affinity at pH 6.0 compared to RVT-3101. Antibody constructs comprising all four substitutions (Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F) demonstrated a synergistic effect, providing a 48.0-fold to 67.8-fold increase in FcRn binding affinity at pH 6.0 compared to RVT-3101. Removing the Q311R or H433K mutations had minimal impact on the FcRn binding affinity; such constructs (AB_TL1A_HL9_OO2_Q318 and AB_TL1A_HL9_OO2_H44O) maintained FcRn binding affinities at pH 6.0 that were 40.7-fold and 42.3-fold higher, respectively, than RVT-3101. Reverting the M428L mutation (e.g.. AB_TL1A_HL9_OO2_M435) had an intermediate impact on the FcRn binding affinity (28.8-fold higher than RVT-3101 at pH 6.0). Removing the N434F mutation (e.g.. AB_TL1 A_HL9_002_N441) had the largest impact on FcRn binding affinity, which was only 8.5-fold higher than RVT-3101 at pH 6.0.
[0328] Collectively, these data indicate that the N434F substitution contributes strongly to increased FcRn binding affinity. The Q311R, M428L and H433K mutations provide a more moderate contribution to increased FcRn binding affinity. However, constructs with the N434F mutation and any two of the Q311R, M428L, and H433K substitutions provide increased binding affinity7compared to the combination of Q311R and M428L, or the combination of H433K and N434F, alone.
[0329] Antibodies comprising a binding domain for any one of IL 1(3, IL 13, and IL 15 were modified to include the Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions. A bispecific antibody comprising a binding domain for TSLP and a binding domain for IL13 was also modified to include the Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions. SPR analysis was performed using a Bioacore 8K instrument and a CM5 with the antibody immobilized at 10 pg / mL concentration, as above. Binding affinities for the antibodies are provided in Table 17 below.Table 17. Binding affinities of anti-TLIA, anti- IL1B, anti-IL13, anti-IL13xTSLP and anti-IL15 antibodies* Fold Increase (FI) relative to Rituximab f Average results from multiple experimentsJ <1.50E+61anti-TLIA comparator antibody;2anti-ILip comparator antibody;3anti-IL13 comparator antibody:4Bispecific anti-IL13 x TSLP comparator antibody;5anti-IL15 comparator antibody
[0330] Antibodies comprising the Q311R, M428L, H43K, and N434F substitutions demonstrated higher FcRn binding affinity compared to commercial antibody rituximab, which does not comprise any of these substitutions. The effect of these substitutions on FcRn binding affinity was consistent for antibodies with different antigen specificities. FcRn binding affinity at pH 6.0 was increased by 38.1-fold to 59.2-fold, compared to rituximab, for antibodies comprising a binding domain for any one of ILip, IL13, and IL15, as well as for a bispecific antibody comprising a binding domain for TSLP and a binding domain for IL 13. The combination of Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions compared favorably to other combinations of substitutions. For example, FcRn binding affinity for antibodies comprising the Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions was consistently higher than for antibodies comprising the M428L and N434S substitutions (also called “LS” substitutions) or the M252Y. S254T, and T256E substitutions (also called “YTE” substitutions). The FcRn binding affinity of antibodies with the LS substitutions were only 11.2-fold to 20.7-fold higher than rituximab, and the FcRn binding affinity' of antibodies with the YTE substitutions were only 9.8-fold to 10.5-fold higher than rituximab, whereas the FcRn binding affinity of antibodies with the Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions were 38. 1 -fold to 59.2-fold higher than rituximab. These results indicate that the combination of the Q311R, M428L, H433K, and N434F substitutions can be used as a platform technology for increasing the FcRn binding affinity of therapeutic antibodies.Example 6. Antibodies with improved pharmacokinetic properties
[0331] Pharmacokinetics of anti- TL1A antibody candidates AB_TL1A_O2_OO4_HL2 and AB TL1A HL9 002 were predicted using PK-Sim and MOBI, which are physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling software, based on clinical data from ongoing trials. This in silico approach allows determination of pharmacokinetics (PK) and translation of in vitro data for first-in-human (FIH) starting dose selection. As shown in Table 18 below, both AB_TL1A_O2_OO4_HL2 and AB TL1A HL9 002 are predicted to have a longer dosing interval (once every 6 months, and once every 12 months, respectively) compared to RVT-3101, which is dosed once monthly.Table 18.
