BACKGROUND

[0004] Cytokine release syndrome (also known as cytokine storm) is life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndromes involving elevated levels of circulating cytokines and immune-cell hyperactivation that can be triggered by various therapies, pathogens, cancers, autoimmune conditions, and monogenic disorders. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was first observed as clinical manifestations of acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Later, it was reported in the influenza pandemics and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). CRS is also a common clinical complication in chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) immunotherapy. Meanwhile CRS phenomenon can be also observed in other human diseases, such as monogenic disorders and autoimmune diseases. There is a need in the art for methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of CRS. The present disclosure addresses this need.3. SUMMARY

In describing and claiming the present invention, the following terminology will be used.

[0056] It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. In case of conflict, the specification, including definitions, will control.

[0057] The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. That is, these terms include plural referents unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element.

[0058] The terms “about” and “approximately” as used herein when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, mean within 20%, within 15%, within 10%, within 9%, within 8%, within 7%, within 6%, within 5%, within 4%, within 3%, within 2%, within 1%, within 0.1% or less of a given value or range. When about is used in connection with a numerical range, it modifies both ends of such range (e.g., about 1-10 means about 1 to about 10).

[0059] A disease or disorder is “alleviated” if the severity of a symptom of the disease or disorder, the frequency with which such a symptom is experienced by a patient, or both, is reduced.

[0060] As used herein, the conjunctive term “and / or” between multiple recited elements is understood as encompassing both individual and combined options. For instance, where two elements are conjoined by “and / or,” a first option refers to the applicability of the first element without the second. A second option refers to the applicability of the second element without the first. A third option refers to the applicability of the first and second elements together. Any one of these options is understood to fall within the meaning, and therefore satisfy the requirement of the term “and / or” as used herein. Concurrent applicability of more than one of the options is also understood to fall within the meaning, and therefore satisfy the requirement of the term “and / or.” In addition, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present), and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present), and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).

[0061] The term “antibody,” as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin molecule which specifically binds with an antigen. Antibodies can be intact immunoglobulins derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources and can also be immunoreactive portions or immunoreactive fragments of intact immunoglobulins. The terms “antibody,” “immunoglobulin,” or “Ig” are used interchangeably herein, and is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers, for example, individual anti-Sdc2 monoclonal antibodies (including agonist, antagonist, neutralizing antibodies, full length or intact monoclonal antibodies), anti-Sdc2 antibody compositions with polyepitopic or monoepitopic specificity, polyclonal or monovalent antibodies, multivalent antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity), formed from at least two intact antibodies, single chain anti-Sdc2 antibodies, and fragments of anti-Sdc2antibodies, as described below. An antibody can be human, humanized, chimeric and / or affinity matured, as well as an antibody from other species, for example, mouse and rabbit, etc. The term “antibody” is intended to include a polypeptide product of B cells within the immunoglobulin class of polypeptides that is able to bind to a specific molecular antigen and is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, wherein each pair has one heavy chain (about 50-70 kDa) and one light chain (about 25 kDa), each amino-terminal portion of each chain includes a variable region of about 100 to about 130 or more amino acids, and each carboxy-terminal portion of each chain includes a constant region. See, e.g.. Antibody Engineering (Borrebaeck ed., 2d ed. 1995); and Kuby, Immunology (3d ed. 1997). In specific embodiments, the specific molecular antigen can be bound by an antibody provided herein, including a Sdc2 polypeptide, a Sdc2 fragment, or a Sdc2 epitope. Antibodies also include, but are not limited to, synthetic antibodies, recombinantly produced antibodies, camelized antibodies, intrabodies, anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies, and functional fragments (e.g., antigenbinding fragments such as Sdc2 -binding fragments) of any of the above, which refers to a portion of an antibody heavy or light chain polypeptide that retains some or all of the binding activity of the antibody from which the fragment was derived. Non-limiting examples of functional fragments (e.g., antigen-binding fragments such as Sdc2 -binding fragments) include single-chain Fvs (scFv) (e.g., including monospecific, bispecific, etc.), Fab fragments, F(ab’) fragments, F(ab)2 fragments, F(ab’)2 fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (dsFv), Fd fragments, Fv fragments, diabody, triabody, tetrabody, and minibody. In particular, antibodies provided herein include immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, for example, antigen-binding domains or molecules that contain an antigen-binding site that binds to a Sdc2 antigen (e.g. , one or more CDRs of an anti-Sdc2 antibody). Such antibody fragments can be found in, for example, Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual (1989); Mol, Biology and Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Desk Reference (Myers ed., 1995); Huston et al., 1993, Cell Biophysics 22: 189-224; Pliickthun and Skerra, 1989, Meth. Enzymol. 178:497-515; and Day, Advanced Immunochemistry (2d ed. 1990). Anti-Sdc2 antibodies may be agonistic antibodies or antagonistic antibodies. Described herein are antagonistic antibodies to Sdc2, including antibodies that inhibits Sdc2 activity.

[0062] As used herein, the term “antibody” is used in a broad sense and includes immunoglobulin or antibody molecules including human, humanized, composite and chimeric antibodies and antibody fragments that are monoclonal or polyclonal. In general, antibodies are proteins or peptide chains that exhibit binding specificity to a specific antigen. Antibody structures are well known.Immunoglobulins can be assigned to five major classes (z.e., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM), depending on the heavy chain constant domain amino acid sequence. IgA and IgG are further sub-classified as the isotypes IgAl, IgA2, IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. Accordingly, the antibodies provided herein can be of any of the five major classes or corresponding sub-classes. In specific embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4. Antibody light chains of vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, namely kappa and lambda, based on the aminoacid sequences of their constant domains. Accordingly, the antibodies provided herein can, in certain embodiments, contain a kappa light chain constant domain. The antibodies provided herein can, in certain embodiments, also contain a lambda light chain constant domain. According to particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein include heavy and / or light chain constant regions from rat or human antibodies. In specific embodiments, the constant region is a human constant region.

[0063] In addition to the heavy and light constant domains, antibodies contain an antigen-binding region that is made up of a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain variable region (VH), each of which contains three domains (z.e., complementarity determining regions 1 (CDR1), CDR2 and CDR3. A “CDR” refers to one of three hypervariable regions (HCDR1, HCDR2 or HCDR3) within the non-frame work region of the immunoglobulin (Ig or antibody) VH [3-sheet framework, or one of three hypervariable regions (LCDR1, LCDR2 or LCDR3) within the non-framework region of the antibody VL [3-sheet framework. Accordingly, CDRs are variable region sequences interspersed within the framework region sequences. CDR regions are well known to those skilled in the art and have been defined by, for example, Kabat as the regions of most hypervariability within the antibody variable (V) domains (Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252:6609-6616 (1977); Kabat, Adv. Prot. Chem. 32: 1-75 (1978)). CDR region sequences also have been defined structurally by Chothia as those residues that are not part of the conserved [3-sheet framework, and thus are able to adapt different conformations (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). Both terminologies are well recognized in the art. CDR region sequences have also been defined by AbM, Contact and IMGT. Exemplary CDR region sequences are illustrated herein, for example, in the tables provided in the Examples below. The positions of CDRs within a canonical antibody variable region have been determined by comparison of numerous structures (Al-Lazikani et al., J. Mol. Biol. 273:927-948 (1997); Morea et al., Methods 20:267-279 (2000)). Because the number of residues within a hypervariable region varies in different antibodies, additional residues relative to the canonical positions are conventionally numbered with a, b, c and so forth next to the residue number in the canonical variable region numbering scheme (Al-Lazikani et al., supra (1997)). Such nomenclature is similarly well known to those skilled in the art.

[0064] The light chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR1 or VL CDR1. The light chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR2 or VL CDR2. The light chain variable region CDR3 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR3 or VL CDR3. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR1 or VH CDR1. The heavy chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR2 or VH CDR2. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR3 or VH CDR3.

[0065] The terms “hypervariable region,” “HVR,” or “HV,” such as a VH or VL, when used herein refers to the regions of an antibody variable region that are hypervariable in sequence and / or form structurally defined loops. Generally, antibodies comprise six hypervariable regions: three in the VH(HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3), and three in the VL (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3). A number of hypervariable region delineations are in use and are encompassed herein. The “Kabat” CDRs are based on sequence variability and are the most commonly used (see, e.g., Kabat et al. , Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest. 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)). “Chothia” refers instead to the location of the structural loops (see, e.g., Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). The end of the Chothia CDR-HCDR1 loop when numbered using the Kabat numbering convention varies between H32 and H34 depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places the insertions at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34). The “AbM” hypervariable regions represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops and are used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software (see, e.g., Martin, in Antibody Engineering. Vol. 2, Chapter 3, Springer Verlag). “Contact” hypervariable regions are based on an analysis of the available complex crystal structures.

[0066] Recently, a universal numbering system has been developed and widely adopted, ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) Information System® (Lafranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27(l):55-77 (2003)). IMGT is an integrated information system specializing in immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of human and other vertebrates. Herein, the CDRs are referred to in terms of both the amino acid sequence and the location within the light or heavy chain. As the “location” of the CDRs within the structure of the immunoglobulin variable domain is conserved between species and present in structures called loops, by using numbering systems that align variable domain sequences according to structural features, CDR and framework residues and are readily identified. This information can be used in grafting and replacement of CDR residues from immunoglobulins of one species into an acceptor framework from, typically, a human antibody. An additional numbering system (AHon) has been developed by Honegger and Pltickthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309: 657-670 (2001). Correspondence between the numbering system, including, for example, the Kabat numbering and the IMGT unique numbering system, is well known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g., Kabat, supra,' Chothia and Lesk, supra,' Martin, supra,' Lefranc et al., supra). An Exemplary system, shown herein, combines Kabat and Chothia.

[0067] Hypervariable regions may comprise “extended hypervariable regions” as follows: 24-36 or 24-34 (LCDR1), 46-56 or 50-56 (LCDR2) and 89-97 or 89-96 (LCDR3) in the VL and 26-35 or 26- 35A (HCDR1), 50-65 or 49-65 (HCDR2) and 93-102, 94-102, or 95-102 (HCDR3) in the VH. CDR sequences, reflecting each of the above numbering schemes, are provided herein, including in the tables in the Examples section below.

[0068] The term “constant region” or “constant domain” refers to a carboxy terminal portion of the light and heavy chain which is not directly involved in binding of the antibody to antigen but exhibits various effector function, such as interaction with the Fc receptor. The terms refer to the portion of an immunoglobulin molecule having a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to the other portion of the immunoglobulin, the variable region, which contains the antigen binding site. The constant region may contain the CHI, CH2 and CH3 regions of the heavy chain and the CL region of the light chain.

[0069] The term “framework” or “FR” residues are those variable region residues flanking the CDRs. FR residues are present, for example, in chimeric, humanized, human, domain antibodies, diabodies, linear antibodies, and bispecific antibodies. FR residues are those variable domain residues other than the hypervariable region residues or CDR residues.

[0070] The term “variable region,” “variable domain,” “V region,” or “V domain” refers to a portion of the light or heavy chains of an antibody that is generally located at the amino-terminal of the light or heavy chain and has a length of about 120 to 130 amino acids in the heavy chain and about 100 to 110 amino acids in the light chain, and are used in the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variable region of the heavy chain may be referred to as “VH.” The variable region of the light chain may be referred to as “VL.” The term “variable” refers to the fact that certain segments of the variable regions differ extensively in sequence among antibodies. The V region mediates antigen binding and defines specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed across the 110-amino acid span of the variable regions. Instead, the V regions consist of less variable (e.g., relatively invariant) stretches called framework regions (FRs) of about 15-30 amino acids separated by shorter regions of greater variability (e.g., extreme variability) called “hypervariable regions” that are each about 9-12 amino acids long. The variable regions of heavy and light chains each comprise four FRs, largely adopting a P sheet configuration, connected by three hypervariable regions, which form loops connecting, and in some cases form part of, the sheet structure. The hypervariable regions in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FRs and, with the hypervariable regions from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site of antibodies (see, e.g., Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (5th ed. 1991)). The constant regions are not involved directly in binding an antibody to an antigen, but exhibit various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependentcytotoxicity (CDC). The variable regions differ extensively in sequence between different antibodies. In specific embodiments, the variable region is a human variable region.

[0071] The term “variable region residue numbering as in Kabat” or “amino acid position numbering as in Kabat”, and variations thereof, refer to the numbering system used for heavy chain variable regions or light chain variable regions of the compilation of antibodies in Kabat et al. , supra. Using this numbering system, the actual linear amino acid sequence may contain fewer or additional amino acids corresponding to a shortening of, or insertion into, an FR or CDR of the variable domain. For example, a heavy chain variable domain may include a single amino acid insert (residue 52a according to Kabat) after residue 52 and three inserted residues (e.g., residues 82a, 82b, and 82c, etc. according to Kabat) after residue 82. The Kabat numbering of residues may be determined for a given antibody by alignment at regions of homology of the sequence of the antibody with a “standard” Kabat numbered sequence. The Kabat numbering system is generally used when referring to a residue in the variable domain (approximately residues 1-107 of the light chain and residues 1-113 of the heavy chain) (e.g., Kabat et al., supra). The “EU numbering system” or “EU index” is generally used when referring to a residue in an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region (e.g., the EU index reported in Kabat et al. , supra). The “EU index as in Kabat” refers to the residue numbering of the human IgG 1 EU antibody. Other numbering systems have been described, for example, by AbM, Chothia, Contact, IMGT, and AHon, as described above.

[0072] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies provided herein can be made by the hybridoma method, phage display technology, single lymphocyte gene cloning technology, or by recombinant DNA methods. For example, the monoclonal antibodies can be produced by a hybridoma which includes a B cell obtained from a transgenic nonhuman animal, such as a transgenic mouse or rat, having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene.

[0073] As used herein, the term “antigen-binding fragment” refers to an antibody fragment such as, for example, a diabody, a Fab, a Fab’, a F(ab’)2, an Fv fragment, a disulfide stabilized Fv fragment (dsFv), a (dsFvh, a bispecific dsFv (dsFv-dsFv’), a disulfide stabilized diabody (ds diabody), a singlechain antibody molecule (scFv), a single domain antibody (sdAb) an scFv dimer (bivalent diabody), a multispecific antibody formed from a portion of an antibody comprising one or more CDRs, a camelized single domain antibody, a nanobody, a domain antibody, a bivalent domain antibody, or any other antibody fragment that binds to an antigen but does not comprise a complete antibody structure. An antigen-binding fragment is capable of binding to the same antigen to which the parent antibody or a parent antibody fragment bind. According to particular embodiments, the antigenbinding fragment comprises a light chain variable region, a light chain constant region, and an Fd segment of the heavy chain. According to other particular embodiments, the antigen-binding fragmentcomprises Fab and F(ab’). In specific embodiments, the antigen binding fragment will exhibit at least one if not some or all of the biological functions attributed to the intact antibody, the function comprising at least binding to the target antigen (e.g., a Sdc2 binding fragment or fragment that binds to Sdc2).

[0074] As used herein, the term “single-chain antibody” refers to a conventional single-chain antibody in the field, which comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region connected by a short peptide of about 15 to about 20 amino acids. As used herein, the term “single domain antibody” refers to a conventional single domain antibody in the field, which comprises a heavy chain variable region and a heavy chain constant region or which comprises only a heavy chain variable region.

[0075] As used herein, the term “multispecific antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises a plurality of immunoglobulin variable domain sequences, wherein a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, the first and second epitopes do not overlap or do not substantially overlap. In an embodiment, the first and second epitopes are on different antigens, e.g., the different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein). In an embodiment, a multispecific antibody comprises a third, fourth, or fifth immunoglobulin variable domain. In an embodiment, a multispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody molecule, a trispecific antibody molecule, or a tetraspecific antibody molecule.

[0076] As used herein, the term “bispecific antibody” refers to a multispecific antibody that binds no more than two epitopes or two antigens. A bispecific antibody is characterized by a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope (e.g., an epitope on a Sdc2 antigen) and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, the first and second epitopes are on different antigens, e.g. , the different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein). In an embodiment, a bispecific antibody comprises a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a first epitope and a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, a bispecific antibody comprises a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a first epitope and a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, a bispecific antibody comprises a scFv, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a first epitope, and a scFv, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a second epitope.

[0077] The terms “antibodies that specifically bind to Sdc2,” “antibodies that specifically bind to a Sdc2 epitope,” and analogous terms are also used interchangeably herein and refer to antibodies that specifically bind to a Sdc2 polypeptide, such as a Sdc2 antigen, or fragment, or epitope (e.g., humanSdc2 such as a human Sdc2 polypeptide, antigen, or epitope). An antibody that specifically binds to Sdc2 (e.g., human Sdc2) may bind to the extracellular domain or peptide derived from the extracellular domain of Sdc2. An antibody that specifically binds to Sdc2 (e.g., human Sdc2) may bind to the Dep-1 binding region in Sdc2. An antibody that specifically binds to a Sdc2 antigen (e.g., human Sdc2) may be cross-reactive with related antigens (e.g., cyno Sdc2). In certain embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to a Sdc2 antigen does not cross-react with other antigens. An antibody that specifically binds to a Sdc2 antigen can be identified, for example, by immunoassays, Biacore®, or other techniques known to those of skill in the art. An antibody binds specifically to a Sdc2 antigen when it binds to a Sdc2 antigen with higher affinity than to any cross-reactive antigen as determined using experimental techniques, such as radioimmunoassays (RIA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELIS As). Typically, a specific or selective reaction will be at least twice background signal or noise and may be more than 10 times background. See, e.g., Fundamental Immunology 332-36 (Paul ed., 2d ed. 1989) for a discussion regarding antibody specificity. An antibody which “binds an antigen of interest” (e.g., a target antigen such as Sdc2) is one that binds the antigen with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a therapeutic agent in targeting a cell or tissue expressing the antigen and does not significantly cross-react with other proteins. In such embodiments, the extent of binding of the antibody to a “non-target” protein will be less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to its particular target protein, for example, as determined by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis or RIA. With regard to the binding of an antibody to a target molecule, the term “specific binding,” “specifically binds to,” or “is specific for” a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target means binding that is measurably different from a non-specific interaction. Specific binding can be measured, for example, by determining binding of a molecule compared to binding of a control molecule, which generally is a molecule of similar structure that does not have binding activity. For example, specific binding can be determined by competition with a control molecule that is similar to the target, for example, an excess of non-labeled target. In this case, specific binding is indicated if the binding of the labeled target to a probe is competitively inhibited by excess unlabeled target. The term “anti-Sdc2 antibody” or “an antibody that binds to Sdc2” includes an antibody that is capable of binding Sdc2 with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful, for example, as a diagnostic agent in targeting Sdc2. The term “specific binding,” “specifically binds to,” or “is specific for” a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target as used herein refers to binding where a molecule binds to a particular polypeptide or epitope on a particular polypeptide without substantially binding to any other polypeptide or polypeptide epitope. In certain embodiments, an antibody that binds to Sdc2 has a dissociation constant (KD) of less than or equal to 10 nM, 5 nM, 4 nM, 3 nM, 2 nM, 1 nM, 0.9 nM, 0.8 nM, 0.7 nM, 0.6 nM, 0.5 nM, 0.4 nM, 0.3 nM, 0.2 nM, or 0.1 nM. In certain embodiments, anti-Sdc2 antibody binds to an epitope of Sdc2 that is conserved among Sdc2 from different species (e.g., between human and cyno Sdc2). In certain embodiments, an antibody that “specifically binds toSdc2” refers to an antibody that binds to a Sdc2, preferably a human Sdc2, with a KD of 1 x 107M or less, such as I / 107M or less, 5 / 10 ' M or less, I / 10 ' M or less, 5 * 1 CT10M or less, or I / 1017M or less.

[0078] The term “KD” refers to the dissociation constant, which is obtained from the ratio of Kd to Ka (z.e., Kd / Ka) and is expressed as a molar concentration (M). KD values for antibodies can be determined using methods in the art in view of the present disclosure. For example, the KD of an antibody can be determined by using surface plasmon resonance, such as by using a biosensor system, e.g., a Biacore® system, or by using bio-layer interferometry technology, such as an Octet RED96 system. The smaller the value of the KD of an antibody, the higher affinity that the antibody binds to a target antigen.

[0079] An “intact” antibody is one comprising an antigen-binding site as well as a CL and at least heavy chain constant regions, CHI, CH2 and CH3. The constant regions may include human constant regions or amino acid sequence variants thereof. In certain embodiments, an intact antibody has one or more effector functions. In this regard, whether the antibody is an antibody fragment or an intact immunoglobulin, an antibody comprises variable regions, including a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region, which determine antigenicity. Antibodies are typically tetramers of immunoglobulin molecules. Antibodies may exist in a variety of forms including, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, Fv, Fab, and F(ab)2, as well as single chain antibodies (scFv) and humanized antibodies (Harlow et al., 1999, In: Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY; Harlow et al., 1989, In: Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, New York; Houston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; Bird et al., 1988, Science 242:423-426). Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, scFv antibodies, and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0080] The term “anti-syndecan-2 antibody,” “Sdc2 antibody” and related terms refer to an antibody that specifically binds to syndecan-2 under physiological conditions.

[0081] An “antibody heavy chain,” as used herein, refers to the larger of the two types of polypeptide chains present in all antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations. The antibody heavy chain comprises the heavy chain variable region and the heavy chain constant region.

[0082] An “antibody light chain,” as used herein, refers to the smaller of the two types of polypeptide chains present in all antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations, a and [3 light chains refer to the two major antibody light chain isotypes. The antibody light chain comprises the light chain variable region and the light chain constant region. Together, the light chain variable region(s) and the heavy chain variable region(s) of an antibody determine the antigenicity of the antibody.

[0083] By the term “synthetic antibody” as used herein, is meant an antibody which is generated using recombinant DNA technology, such as, for example, an antibody expressed by a CHO cells asdescribed herein. The term should also be construed to mean an antibody which has been generated by the synthesis of a DNA molecule encoding the antibody and which DNA molecule expresses an antibody protein, or an amino acid sequence specifying the antibody, wherein the DNA or amino acid sequence has been obtained using synthetic DNA or amino acid sequence technology which is available and well known in the art.

[0084] As used herein, the term “heterologous peptide” refers to any peptide, polypeptide or protein whose sequence is selected in such a way that the product of the fusion of this sequence has a sequence different from the wild-type sequence flanking the peptide to which it is fused.

[0085] As used herein, the term “composition” or “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture of at least one compound useful with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition facilitates administration of the compound to a patient or subject. Multiple techniques of administering a compound exist in the art including, but not limited to, intravenous, oral, aerosol, parenteral, ophthalmic, pulmonary and topical administration. The term “composition” is intended to encompass a product containing the specified ingredients (e.g., an antibody provided herein) in, optionally, the specified amounts.

[0086] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein means being approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government, or listed in United States Pharmacopeia. European Pharmacopeia, or other generally recognized Pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to a material, such as a carrier or diluent, which does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively nontoxic, z.e., the material may be administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained.

[0087] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or carrier, such as a liquid or solid fdler, stabilizer, dispersing agent, suspending agent, diluent, excipient, thickening agent, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting a compound within or to the patient such that it may perform its intended function.

[0092] The term “binding protein” refers to a protein comprising a portion (e.g. , one or more binding regions such as CDRs) that binds to Sdc2, including human and / or cyno Sdc2 and, optionally, a scaffold or framework portion (e.g., one or more scaffold or framework regions) that allows the binding portion to adopt a conformation that promotes binding of the binding protein to a Sdc2polypeptide, fragment, or epitope. Examples of such binding proteins include antibodies, such as a human antibody, a humanized antibody, a chimeric antibody, a recombinant antibody, a single chain antibody, a diabody, a triabody, a tetrabody, a Fab fragment, a F(ab’)2 fragment, an IgD antibody, an IgE antibody, an IgM antibody, an IgGl antibody, an IgG2 antibody, an IgG3 antibody, or an IgG4 antibody, and fragments thereof. The binding protein can comprise, for example, an alternative protein scaffold or artificial scaffold with grafted CDRs or CDR derivatives. Such scaffolds include, but are not limited to, antibody-derived scaffolds comprising mutations introduced to, for example, stabilize the three-dimensional structure of the binding protein as well as wholly synthetic scaffolds comprising, for example, a biocompatible polymer. See, e.g., Komdorfer et al. , 2003, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics 53(1): 121-29; and Roque et al., 2004, Biotechnol. Prog. 20:639-54. In addition, peptide antibody mimetics (“PAMs”) can be used, as well as scaffolds based on antibody mimetics utilizing fibronectin components as a scaffold. In the context of the present disclosure, a binding protein is said to specifically bind or selectively bind to Sdc2, for example, when the dissociation constant (KD) is <10-7M. In some embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) may specifically bind to Sdc2 with a KD of from about 10'7M to about 1012M. In certain embodiments, the binding protein (e.g., antibody) may specifically bind to Sdc2 with high affinity when the KD is <10-8M or KD is <10-9M. In one embodiment, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) may specifically bind to purified human Sdc2 with a KD of from 1 x 10'9M to 10 x 10'9M as measured by Biacore®. In another embodiment, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) may specifically bind to purified human Sdc2 with a KD of from 0.1 x 10'9M to 1 x 10'9M as measured by KinExA™ (Sapidyne, Boise, ID). In yet another embodiment, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to human Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KD of from 0.1 x 10'9M to 10 x 109M. In certain embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to human Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KD of from 0. 1 x 10'9M to 1 x 10'9M. In some embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to human Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KD of 1 x 10'9M to 10 x 10'9M. In certain embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to human Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KDof about 0.1 x 10'9M , about 0.5 x 10'9M, about 1 x 10'9M, about 5 x 10'9M, about 10 x 10'9M, or any range or interval thereof. In still another embodiment, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) may specifically bind to cyno Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KDof 0.1 x 10'9M to 10 x 10'9M. In certain embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to cyno Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KDof from 0.1 x 10'9M to 1 x 10'9M. In some embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to cyno Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KD of 1 x 10'9M to 10 x 10'9M. In certain embodiments, the binding proteins (e.g., antibodies) specifically bind to cyno Sdc2 expressed on cells with a KD of about 0. 1 x 10'9M , about 0.5 x 10'9M, about 1 x 10'9M, about 5 x 10'9M, about 10 x 10'9M, or any range or interval thereof.

[0093] An “antigen” is a predetermined antigen to which an antibody can selectively bind. A target antigen may be a polypeptide, carbohydrate, nucleic acid, lipid, hapten, or other naturally occurring or synthetic compound. In some embodiments, the target antigen is a polypeptide.

[0094] The terms “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” “antigen-binding region,” and similar terms refer to that portion of an antibody, which comprises the amino acid residues that interact with an antigen and confer on the binding agent its specificity and affinity for the antigen (e.g., the CDRs).

[0095] The terms “binds” or “binding” refer to an interaction between molecules including, for example, to form a complex. Interactions can be, for example, non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and / or van der Waals interactions. A complex can also include the binding of two or more molecules held together by covalent or non-covalent bonds, interactions, or forces. The strength of the total non-covalent interactions between a single antigen-binding site on an antibody and a single epitope of a target molecule, such as Sdc2, is the affinity of the antibody or functional fragment for that epitope. The ratio of dissociation rate (koir) to association rate (kon) of an antibody to a monovalent antigen (koff / kon) is the dissociation constant KD, which is inversely related to affinity. The lower the KD value, the higher the affinity of the antibody. The value of KD varies for different complexes of antibody and antigen and depends on both konand koff. The dissociation constant KD for an antibody provided herein can be determined using any method provided herein or any other method well known to those skilled in the art. The affinity at one binding site does not always reflect the true strength of the interaction between an antibody and an antigen. When complex antigens containing multiple, repeating antigenic determinants, such as a polyvalent Sdc2, come in contact with antibodies containing multiple binding sites, the interaction of antibody with antigen at one site will increase the probability of a reaction at a second site. The strength of such multiple interactions between a multivalent antibody and antigen is called the avidity. The avidity of an antibody can be a better measure of its binding capacity than is the affinity of its individual binding sites. For example, high avidity can compensate for low affinity as is sometimes found for pentameric IgM antibodies, which can have a lower affinity than IgG, but the high avidity of IgM, resulting from its multivalence, enables it to bind antigen effectively.

[0096] The term “compete” when used in the context of anti-Sdc2 antibodies (e.g., antibodies and binding proteins that bind to Sdc2 and compete for the same epitope or binding site on a target) means competition as determined by an assay in which the antibody (or binding fragment) thereof under study prevents or inhibits the specific binding of a reference molecule (e.g., a reference ligand or reference antigen-binding protein, such as a reference antibody) to a common antigen (e.g., Sdc2 or a fragment thereof). Numerous types of competitive binding assays can be used to determine if a test antibody competes with a reference antibody for binding to Sdc2 (e.g., human Sdc2). Examples of assays that can be employed include solid phase direct or indirect RIA, solid phase direct or indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA), sandwich competition assay (see, e.g., Stahli et al., 1983, Methods inEnzymology 9:242-53), solid phase direct biotin-avidin EIA (see, e.g., Kirkland et al., 1986, J. Immunol. 137:3614-19), solid phase direct labeled assay, solid phase direct labeled sandwich assay (see, e.g., Harlow and Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual (1988)), solid phase direct label RIA using 1-125 label (see, e.g., Morel et al., 1988, Mol. Immunol. 25:7-15), and direct labeled RIA (Moldenhauer et al., 1990, Scand. J. Immunol. 32:77-82). Typically, such an assay involves the use of a purified antigen (e.g., Sdc2 such as human Sdc2) bound to a solid surface, or cells bearing either of an unlabeled test antigen-binding protein (e.g., test anti-Sdc2 antibody) or a labeled reference antigenbinding protein (e.g., reference anti-Sdc2 antibody). Competitive inhibition may be measured by determining the amount of label bound to the solid surface or cells in the presence of the test antigenbinding protein. Usually the test antigen-binding protein is present in excess. Antibodies identified by competition assay (competing antibodies) include antibodies binding to the same epitope as the reference antibody and / or antibodies binding to an adjacent epitope sufficiently proximal to the epitope bound by the reference for antibodies steric hindrance to occur. Additional details regarding methods for determining competitive binding are described herein. Usually, when a competing antibody protein is present in excess, it will inhibit specific binding of a reference antibody to a common antigen by at least 30%, for example 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, or 75%. In some instance, binding is inhibited by at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more.

[0097] As used herein, the term an “isolated antibody” refers to an antibody which is substantially free of other antibodies having different antigenic specificities (e.g., an isolated antibody that specifically binds to Sdc2 is substantially free of antibodies that do not bind to Sdc2). In addition, an isolated antibody is substantially free of cellular material or other contaminating proteins from the cell or tissue source and / or other contaminant components from which the antibody is derived, or substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. The language “substantially free of cellular material” includes preparations of an antibody in which the antibody is separated from cellular components of the cells from which it is isolated or recombinantly produced. Thus, an antibody that is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of antibody having less than about 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1% (by dry weight) of heterologous protein (also referred to herein as a “contaminating protein”). In certain embodiments, when the antibody is recombinantly produced, it is substantially free of culture medium, e.g., culture medium represents less than about 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1% of the volume of the protein preparation. In certain embodiments, when the antibody is produced by chemical synthesis, it is substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals, for example, it is separated from chemical precursors or other chemicals that are involved in the synthesis of the protein. Accordingly, such preparations of the antibody have less than about 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1% (by dry weight) of chemical precursors or compounds other than the antibody of interest. Contaminant components can also include, but are not limited to, materials that would interfere with therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous ornonproteinaceous solutes. In certain embodiments, the antibody will be purified (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method (Lowry et al., 1951, J. Bio. Chem. 193:265-75), such as 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver stain. Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody’s natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step. In specific embodiments, antibodies provided herein are isolated.

[0098] The term “fusion protein” as used herein refers to a polypeptide that comprises an amino acid sequence of an antibody and an amino acid sequence of a heterologous polypeptide or protein (e.g., a polypeptide or protein not normally a part of the antibody (e.g. , a non-anti-Sdc2 antigen-binding antibody)). The term “fusion” when used in relation to Sdc2 or to an anti-Sdc2 antibody refers to the joining of a peptide or polypeptide, or fragment, variant, and / or derivative thereof, with a heterologous peptide or polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the fusion protein retains the biological activity of the Sdc2 or anti-Sdc2 antibody. In certain embodiments, the fusion protein comprises a Sdc2 antibody VH region, VL region, VH CDR (one, two, or three VH CDRs), and / or VL CDR (one, two, or three VL CDRs), wherein the fusion protein binds to a Sdc2 epitope, a Sdc2 fragment, and / or a Sdc2 polypeptide.

[0099] The term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a polypeptide chain of about 50-70 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 120 to 130 or more amino acids, and a carboxy-terminal portion includes a constant region. The constant region can be one of five distinct types, (e.g., isotypes) referred to as alpha (a), delta (5), epsilon (a), gamma (y), and mu (p), based on the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain constant region. The distinct heavy chains differ in size: a, 5, and y contain approximately 450 amino acids, while p and 8 contain approximately 550 amino acids. When combined with a light chain, these distinct types of heavy chains give rise to five well known classes (e.g., isotypes) of antibodies, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, respectively, including four subclasses of IgG, namely IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. A heavy chain can be a human heavy chain.

[0100] The term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a polypeptide chain of about 25 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 100 to about 110 or more amino acids, and a carboxy-terminal portion includes a constant region. The approximate length of a light chain is 211 to 217 amino acids. There are two distinct types, referred to as kappa (K) or lambda (X) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domains. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. A light chain can be a human light chain.

[0101] The term “host” as used herein refers to an animal, such as a mammal (e.g. , a human).

[0102] As used herein, the term “host cell” refers to a cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule provided herein. The “host cell” can be any type of cell, e.g., a primary cell, a cell in culture, or a cell from a cell line. In one embodiment, a “host cell” is a cell transfected with a nucleic acid molecule provided herein. In another embodiment, a “host cell” is a progeny or potential progeny of such a transfected cell. A progeny of a cell may or may not be identical to the parent cell, e.g. , due to mutations or environmental influences that can occur in succeeding generations or integration of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome. The term “host cell” as used herein refers to a particular subject cell that may be transfected with a nucleic acid molecule and the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Progeny of such a cell may not be identical to the parent cell transfected with the nucleic acid molecule due to mutations or environmental influences that may occur in succeeding generations or integration of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome.

[0103] The term “expression” as used herein, refers to the biosynthesis of a gene product. The term encompasses the transcription of a gene into RNA. The term also encompasses translation of RNA into one or more polypeptides, and further encompasses all naturally occurring post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications. The expressed antibody can be within the cytoplasm of a host cell, into the extracellular milieu such as the growth medium of a cell culture or anchored to the cell membrane.

[0104] As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” or “protein” can refer to a molecule comprised of amino acids and can be recognized as a protein by those of skill in the art. The conventional one-letter or three-letter code for amino acid residues is used herein. The terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” can be used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymer can be linear or branched, it can comprise modified amino acids, and it can be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified naturally or by intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification, such as conjugation with a labeling component. Also included within the definition are, for example, polypeptides containing one or more analogs of an amino acid (including, for example, unnatural amino acids, etc. ), as well as other modifications known in the art.

[0105] The term “immune cell” is recognized in the art, as used herein refers to any cell involved in a host defense mechanism, such as cells that produces pro-inflammatory cytokines, and cells that participate in tissue damage and / or disease pathogenesis. Examples of immune cells include, but are not limited to, T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, neutrophils, mast cells, macrophages, antigen- presenting cells (APC), basophils, and eosinophils.

[0106] The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, e.g., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts, and each monoclonal antibody will typically recognize a single epitope on theantigen. In specific embodiments, a “monoclonal antibody,” as used herein, is an antibody produced by a single hybridoma or other cell, wherein the antibody binds to only a Sdc2 epitope as determined, for example, by ELISA or other antigen-binding or competitive binding assay known in the art. The term “monoclonal” is not limited to any particular method for making the antibody. For example, the monoclonal antibodies useful in the present disclosure may be prepared by the hybridoma methodology first described by Kohler et al., 1975, Nature 256:495, or may be made using recombinant DNA methods in bacterial or eukaryotic animal or plant cells (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). The “monoclonal antibodies” may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al., 1991, Nature 352:624-28 and Marks et al., 1991, J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-97, for example. Other methods for the preparation of clonal cell lines and of monoclonal antibodies expressed thereby are well known in the art. See, e.g., Short Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al. eds., 5th ed. 2002). Exemplary methods of producing monoclonal antibodies are provided in the Examples herein.

[0107] The term “native” when used in connection with biological materials such as nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, host cells, and the like, refers to those which are found in nature and not manipulated, modified, and / or changed (e.g., isolated, purified, selected) by a human being.

[0108] As used herein, the term “human antibody” refers to an antibody produced by a human or an antibody having an amino acid sequence corresponding to an antibody produced by a human made using any technique known in the art. This definition of a human antibody includes intact or full- length antibodies, fragments thereof, and / or antibodies comprising at least one human heavy and / or light chain polypeptide. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage-display libraries (Hoogenboom and Winter, 1991, J. Mol. Biol. 227:381; Marks et al., 1991, J. Mol. Biol. 222:581) and yeast display libraries (Chao et al., 2006, Nature Protocols 1: 755-68). Also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies are methods described in Cole et al. , Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy 77 (1985); Boemer et al., 1991, J. Immunol. 147(1): 86-95; and van Dijk and van de Winkel, 2001, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5: 368-74. Human antibodies can be prepared by administering the antigen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce such antibodies in response to antigenic challenge, but whose endogenous loci have been disabled, e.g., mice (see, e.g., Jakobovits, 1995, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 6(5):561-66; Briiggemann and Taussing, 1997, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 8(4):455-58; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 regarding XENOMOUSE™ technology). See also, for example, Li et al., 2006, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103:3557-62 regarding human antibodies generated via a human B-cell hybridoma technology.

[0109] “Fully human” refers to an immunoglobulin, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies), wherethe whole molecule is of human origin or consists of an amino acid sequence identical to a human form of the antibody.

[0110] As used herein, the terms “humanized” and “chimeric” antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) refer to immunoglobulins which contain minimal sequences derived from non-human sources. For the most part, humanized and chimeric immunoglobulins are human-origin immunoglobulins in which complementary-determining region (CDR) residues are replaced by those from a CDR of a non- human species such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized and chimeric antibodies or antigenbinding fragments thereof can comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient human antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. These modifications are made to further refine and optimize antibody performance. In general, the humanized and chimeric antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non- human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The World Health Organization (WHO) International Nonproprietary Name (INN) Expert Group has defined requirements for non-human derived antibodies to be considered “humanized”. According to guidelines, comparison of a candidate antibody to human sequences should be done through the International Immunogenetics Information System® (IMGT®) DomainGapAlign tool (imgt.org). This tool interrogates the IMGT® database of antibody germline variable region genes where the alignment score is made only against germline sequence variable region exons, thus omitting part of CDR3 and the J region from the analysis. For an antibody to be “humanized”, in addition to being “closer to human than to other species”, the top “hit” should be human and the identity to human sequences must be at least 85%, otherwise the antibody would be designated as “chimeric”. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature, 321: 522-525, 1986; Reichmann et al., Nature, 332: 323-329, 1988; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2: 593-596, 1992.

[0111] As used herein, the term “chimeric antibody” refers to an antibody wherein the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin molecule is derived from two or more species. The variable region of both the light and heavy chains often correspond to the variable region of an antibody derived from one species of mammal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, etc.) having the desired specificity, affinity, and capability, while the constant regions correspond to the sequences of an antibody derived from another species of mammal (e.g., human) to avoid eliciting an immune response in that species. In some embodiments, the antibodies comprise a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species orbelonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al., 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:6851-55).

[0112] As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to a non-human antibody that is modified to increase the sequence homology to that of a human antibody, such that the antigenbinding properties of the antibody are retained, but its antigenicity in the human body is reduced. “Humanized” forms of nonhuman (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that include human immunoglobulins (e.g., recipient antibody) in which the native CDR residues are replaced by residues from the corresponding CDR of a nonhuman species (e.g., donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit, or nonhuman primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, one or more FR region residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding nonhuman residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies can comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. A humanized antibody heavy or light chain can comprise substantially all of at least one or more variable regions, in which all or substantially all of the CDRs correspond to those of a nonhuman immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FRs are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. In certain embodiments, the humanized antibody will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see, Jones et al., 1986, Nature 321:522-25; Riechmann et al., 1988, Nature 332:323- 29; Presta, 1992, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-96; Carter et al., 1992, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:4285-89; U.S. Pat. Nos: 6,800,738; 6,719,971; 6,639,055; 6,407,213; and 6,054,297.

[0113] An “affinity matured” antibody is one with one or more alterations (e.g., amino acid sequence variations, including changes, additions, and / or deletions) in one or more HVRs thereof which result in an improvement in the affinity of the antibody for antigen, compared to a parent antibody which does not possess those alteration(s). Affinity matured antibodies can have nanomolar or even picomolar affinities for the target antigen. Affinity matured antibodies are produced by procedures known in the art. For review, see Hudson and Souriau, 2003, Nature Medicine 9: 129-34; Hoogenboom, 2005, Nature Biotechnol. 23: 1105-16; Quiroz and Sinclair, 2010, Revista Ingeneria Biomedia 4:39-51.

[0114] A “blocking” antibody or an “antagonist” antibody is one which inhibits or reduces biological activity of the antigen it binds. For example, blocking antibodies or antagonist antibodies may substantially or completely inhibit the biological activity of the antigen.

[0115] An “agonist” antibody is an antibody that triggers a response, e.g., one that mimics at least one of the functional activities of a polypeptide of interest. An agonist antibody includes an antibody that is a ligand mimetic, for example, wherein a ligand binds to a cell surface receptor and the binding induces cell signaling or activities via an intercellular cell signaling pathway and wherein the antibody induces a similar cell signaling or activation.

[0116] “Binding affinity” generally refers to the strength of the sum total of noncovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., a binding protein such as an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1: 1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a binding molecule X for its binding partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Low-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen slowly and tend to dissociate readily, whereas high-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen faster and tend to remain bound longer. A variety of methods of measuring binding affinity are known in the art, any of which can be used for purposes of the present disclosure. Specific illustrative embodiments include the following. In one embodiment, the “KD” or “KDvalue” may be measured by assays known in the art, for example by a binding assay. The KDmay be measured in a RIA, for example, performed with the Fab version of an antibody of interest and its antigen (Chen et al., 1999, J. Mol Biol 293:865-81). The KD or KD value may also be measured by using surface plasmon resonance assays by Biacore®, using, for example, a Biacore ®TM-2000 or a Biacore®TM-3000, or by biolayer interferometry using, for example, the Octet®QK384 system. An “on-rate” or “rate of association” or “association rate” or “kon” may also be determined with the same surface plasmon resonance or biolayer interferometry techniques described above using, for example, a Biacore®TM-2000 or a Biacore®TM-3000, or the Octet®QK384 system.

[0117] The phrase “substantially similar” or “substantially the same” denotes a sufficiently high degree of similarity between two numeric values (e.g., one associated with an antibody of the present disclosure and the other associated with a reference antibody) such that one of skill in the art would consider the difference between the two values to be of little or no biological and / or statistical significance within the context of the biological characteristic measured by the values (e.g., KD values). For example, the difference between the two values may be less than about 50%, less than about 40%, less than about 30%, less than about 20%, less than about 10%, or less than about 5%, as a function of the value for the reference antibody.

[0118] The phrase “substantially increased,” “substantially reduced,” or “substantially different,” as used herein, denotes a sufficiently high degree of difference between two numeric values (e.g., one associated with an antibody of the present disclosure and the other associated with a reference antibody) such that one of skill in the art would consider the difference between the two values to be of statistical significance within the context of the biological characteristic measured by the values. For example, the difference between said two values can be greater than about 10%, greater than about 20%, greater than about 30%, greater than about 40%, or greater than about 50%, as a function of the value for the reference antibody.

[0119] The term “inhibition” or “inhibit,” when used herein, refers to partial (such as, 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, 99%) or complete (z.e., 100%) inhibition.

[0120] “Antibody effector functions” refer to the biological activities attributable to the Fc region (e.g., a native sequence Fc region or amino acid sequence variant Fc region) of an antibody and vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include but are not limited to: Clq binding; CDC; Fc receptor binding; ADCC; phagocytosis; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor); and B cell activation.

[0121] The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, including, for example, native sequence Fc regions, recombinant Fc regions, and variant Fc regions. Although the boundaries of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain might vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is often defined to stretch from an amino acid residue at position Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl -terminus thereof. The C-terminal lysine (residue 447 according to the EU numbering system) of the Fc region may be removed, for example, during production or purification of the antibody, or by recombinantly engineering the nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain of the antibody. Accordingly, a composition of intact antibodies may comprise antibody populations with all K447 residues removed, antibody populations with no K447 residues removed, and antibody populations having a mixture of antibodies with and without the K447 residue.

[0122] A ‘ ‘functional Fc region” possesses an “effector function” of a native sequence Fc region. Exemplary “effector functions” include Clq binding; CDC; Fc receptor binding; ADCC; phagocytosis; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor), etc. Such effector functions generally require the Fc region to be combined with a binding region or binding domain (e.g., an antibody variable region or domain) and can be assessed using various assays as disclosed.

[0123] A “native sequence Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence identical to the amino acid sequence of an Fc region found in nature, and not manipulated, modified, and / or changed (e.g., isolated, purified, selected, including or combining with other sequences such as variable region sequences) by a human. Native sequence human IgGl Fc regions include a native sequence human IgGl Fc region (non-A and A allotypes); native sequence human IgG2 Fc region; native sequence human IgG3 Fc region; and native sequence human IgG4 Fc region as well as naturally occurring variants thereof.

[0124] A “variant Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence which differs from that of a native sequence Fc region by virtue of at least one amino acid modification (e.g., substituting, addition, or deletion). In certain embodiments, the variant Fc region has at least one amino acid substitution compared to a native sequence Fc region or to the Fc region of a parent polypeptide, for example, from about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, or from about one to about five amino acid substitutions in a native sequence Fc region or in the Fc region of a parent polypeptide. The variant Fc region herein can possess at least about 80% homology with a native sequence Fc region and / or with an Fc region of a parent polypeptide, or at least about 90% homology therewith, for example, at least about 95% homology therewith.

[0125] The term “variant” when used in relation to Sdc2 or to an anti-Sdc2 antibody may refer to a peptide or polypeptide comprising one or more (such as, for example, about 1 to about 25, about 1 to about 20, about 1 to about 15, about 1 to about 10, or about 1 to about 5) amino acid sequence substitutions, deletions, and / or additions as compared to a native or unmodified sequence. For example, a Sdc2 variant may result from one or more (such as, for example, about 1 to about 25, about 1 to about 20, about 1 to about 15, about 1 to about 10, or about 1 to about 5) changes to an amino acid sequence of a native Sdc2. Also, by way of example, a variant of an anti-Sdc2 antibody may result from one or more (such as, for example, about 1 to about 25, about 1 to about 20, about 1 to about 15, about 1 to about 10, or about 1 to about 5) changes to an amino acid sequence of a native or previously unmodified anti-Sdc2 antibody. Variants may be naturally occurring, such as allelic or splice variants, or may be artificially constructed. Polypeptide variants may be prepared from the corresponding nucleic acid molecules encoding the variants. In specific embodiments, the Sdc2 variant or anti-Sdc2 antibody variant at least retains Sdc2 or anti-Sdc2 antibody functional activity, respectively. In specific embodiments, an anti-Sdc2 antibody variant binds Sdc2 and / or is antagonistic to Sdc2 activity. In specific embodiments, an anti-Sdc2 antibody variant binds Sdc2 and / or is agonistic to Sdc2 activity. In certain embodiments, the variant is encoded by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes Sdc2 or anti-Sdc2 antibody VH or VL regions or subregions, such as one or more CDRs.

[0126] As used herein, the term “vector” is a replicon in which another nucleic acid segment can be operably inserted so as to bring about the replication or expression of the segment.

[0127] The term “vector” refers to a substance that is used to carry or include a nucleic acid sequence, including for example, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an anti- Sdc2 antibody as described herein, in order to introduce a nucleic acid sequence into a host cell. Vectors applicable for use include, for example, expression vectors, plasmids, phage vectors, viral vectors, episomes, and artificial chromosomes, which can include selection sequences or markers operable for stable integration into a host cell’s chromosome. Additionally, the vectors can include one or more selectable marker genes and appropriate expression control sequences. Selectable marker genes that can be included, for example, provide resistance to antibiotics or toxins, complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or supply critical nutrients not in the culture media. Expression control sequences can include constitutive and inducible promoters, transcription enhancers, transcription terminators, and the like, which are well known in the art. When two or more nucleic acid molecules are to be coexpressed (e.g., both an antibody heavy and light chain or an antibody VH and VL), both nucleic acid molecules can be inserted, for example, into a single expression vector or in separate expression vectors. For single vector expression, the encoding nucleic acids can be operationally linked to one common expression control sequence or linked to different expression control sequences, such as one inducible promoter and one constitutive promoter. The introduction of nucleic acid molecules into a host cell can be confirmed using methods well known in the art. Such methods include, for example,nucleic acid analysis such as Northern blots or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of mRNA, immunoblotting for expression of gene products, or other suitable analytical methods to test the expression of an introduced nucleic acid sequence or its corresponding gene product. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the nucleic acid molecules are expressed in a sufficient amount to produce a desired product (e.g. , an anti-Sdc2 antibody as described herein), and it is further understood that expression levels can be optimized to obtain sufficient expression using methods well known in the art.

[0128] “Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” or “ADCC” refers to a form of cytotoxicity in which secreted immunoglobulin bound onto Fc receptors (FcRs) present on certain cytotoxic cells (e.g., Natural Killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and macrophages) enable these cytotoxic effector cells to bind specifically to an antigen-bearing target cell and subsequently kill the target cell with cytotoxins. The antibodies “arm” the cytotoxic cells and are absolutely required for such killing. NK cells, the primary cells for mediating ADCC, express FcyRIII only, whereas monocytes express FcyRI, FcyRII, and FcyRIII. FcR expression on hematopoietic cells is known (see, e.g., Ravetch and Kinet, 1991, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9:457-92). To assess ADCC activity of a molecule of interest, an in vitro ADCC assay (see, e.g., US Pat. Nos. 5,500,362 and 5,821,337) can be performed. Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Alternatively or additionally, ADCC activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo, for example, in an animal model (see, e.g., Clynes et al., 1998, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:652- 56). Antibodies with little or no ADCC activity may be selected for use.

[0129] “Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis” or “ADCP” refers to the destruction of target cells via monocyte or macrophage-mediated phagocytosis when immunoglobulin bound onto Fc receptors (FcRs) present on certain phagocytotic cells (e.g., neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages) enable these phagocytotic cells to bind specifically to an antigen-bearing target cell and subsequently kill the target cell. To assess ADCP activity of a molecule of interest, an in vitro ADCP assay (see, e.g., Bracher et al., 2007, J. Immunol. Methods 323: 160-71) can be performed. Useful phagocytotic cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), purified monocytes from PBMC, or U937 cells differentiated to the mononuclear type. Alternatively or additionally, ADCP activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo, for example, in an animal model (see, e.g., Wallace et al., 2001, J. Immunol. Methods 248: 167-82). Antibodies with little or no ADCP activity may be selected for use.

[0130] ‘ ‘Fc receptor” or “FcR” describes a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. An exemplary FcR is a native sequence human FcR. Moreover, an exemplary FcR is one that binds an IgG antibody (e.g., a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the FcyRI, FcyRII, and FcyRIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. FcyRII receptors include FcyRIIA (an “activating receptor”) and FcyRIIB (an “inhibiting receptor”), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof (see, e.g.,Daeron, 1997, Anna. Rev. Immunol. 15:203-34). Various FcRs are known (see, e.g., Ravetch and Kinet, 1991, Ann . Rev. Immunol. 9:457-92; Capel et al., 1994, Immunomethods 4:25-34; and de Haas et al., 1995, J. Lab. Clin. Med. 126:330-41). Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term “FcR” herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor, FcRn, which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (see, e.g., Guyer et al., 1976, J. Immunol. 117:587-93; and Kim et al., 1994, Eu. J. Immunol. 24:2429-34). Antibody variants with improved or diminished binding to FcRs have been described (see, e.g., WO 2000 / 42072; U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,183,387; 7,332,581; and 7.335,742; Shields et al. 2001, J. Biol. Chem. 9(2):6591-604).

[0131] “Complement dependent cytotoxicity” or “CDC” refers to the lysis of a target cell in the presence of complement. Activation of the classical complement pathway is initiated by the binding of the first component of the complement system (Clq) to antibodies (of the appropriate subclass) which are bound to their cognate antigen. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay (see, e.g., Gazzano-Santoro et al., 1996, J. Immunol. Methods 202: 163) may be performed. Polypeptide variants with altered Fc region amino acid sequences (polypeptides with a variant Fc region) and increased or decreased Clq binding capability have been described (see, e.g., US Pat. No. 6,194,551; WO 1999 / 51642; Idusogie et al., 2000, J. Immunol. 164: 4178-84). Antibodies with little or no CDC activity may be selected for use.

[0132] A Sdc2 polypeptide “extracellular domain” or “ECD” refers to a form of the Sdc2 polypeptide that is essentially free of the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. For example, a Sdc2 polypeptide ECD may have less than 1% of such transmembrane and / or cytoplasmic domains and can have less than 0.5% of such domains.

[0133] The term “identity” refers to a relationship between the sequences of two or more polypeptide molecules or two or more nucleic acid molecules, as determined by aligning and comparing the sequences. “Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or MEGALIGN (DNAStar, Inc.) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared.

[0134] The terms “identical” or percent “identity,” in the context of two or more polypeptide sequences (e.g., a Sdc2 antibody) or nucleic acid sequences thereof, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues ornucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection.

[0135] For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.

[0136] Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat’l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI), or by visual inspection (see generally, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, F.M. Ausubel et al., eds., Current Protocols, a joint venture between Greene Publishing Associates, Inc. and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (1995 Supplement) (Ausubel)).

[0137] Examples of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 and Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul et al., supra). These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased.

[0138] Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always > 0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always < 0). For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative -scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a word length (W) of 11, an expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands. For amino acidsequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a word length (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915 (1989)).

[0139] In addition to calculating percent sequence identity, the BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g. , Karlin & Altschul, Proc. NatT. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787 (1993)). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. Lor example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.1, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.

[0140] A further indication that two nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides are substantially identical is that the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross reactive with the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid, as described below. Thus, a polypeptide is typically substantially identical to a second polypeptide, for example, where the two peptides differ only by conservative substitutions. Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the two molecules hybridize to each other under stringent conditions.

[0141] A ‘ ‘modification” of an amino acid residue / position refers to a change of a primary amino acid sequence as compared to a starting amino acid sequence, wherein the change results from a sequence alteration involving said amino acid residue / position. Lor example, typical modifications include substitution of the residue with another amino acid (e.g., a conservative or non-conservative substitution), insertion of one or more (e.g. , generally fewer than 5, 4, or 3) amino acids adjacent to said residue / position, and / or deletion of said residue / position.

[0142] An “epitope” is the site on the surface of an antigen molecule to which a single antibody molecule binds, such as a localized region on the surface of an antigen, such as a Sdc2 polypeptide, a Sdc2 polypeptide fragment, that is capable of being bound to one or more antigen binding regions of an antibody, and that has antigenic or immunogenic activity in an animal, such as a mammal (e.g., a human), that is capable of eliciting an immune response. An epitope having immunogenic activity is a portion of a polypeptide that elicits an antibody response in an animal. An epitope having antigenic activity is a portion of a polypeptide to which an antibody binds as determined by any method well known in the art, including, for example, by an immunoassay. Antigenic epitopes need not necessarily be immunogenic. Epitopes often consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics as well as specific charge characteristics. Antibody epitopes may be linear epitopes or conformational epitopes. Linear epitopes are formed by a continuous sequence of amino acids in a protein.Conformational epitopes are formed of amino acids that are discontinuous in the protein sequence, but which are brought together upon folding of the protein into its three-dimensional structure. Inducedepitopes are formed when the three-dimensional structure of the protein is in an altered conformation, such as following activation or binding of another protein or ligand. In certain embodiments, a Sdc2 epitope is a three-dimensional surface feature of a Sdc2 polypeptide. In other embodiments, a Sdc2 epitope is linear feature of a Sdc2 polypeptide. Generally, an antigen has several or many different epitopes and may react with many different antibodies.

[0143] An antibody binds “an epitope,” “essentially the same epitope,” or “the same epitope” as a reference antibody, when the two antibodies recognize identical, overlapping, or adjacent epitopes in a three-dimensional space. The most widely used and rapid methods for determining whether two antibodies bind to identical, overlapping, or adjacent epitopes in a three-dimensional space are competition assays, which can be configured in a number of different formats, for example, using either labeled antigen or labeled antibody. In some assays, the antigen is immobilized on a 96-well plate, or expressed on a cell surface, and the ability of unlabeled antibodies to block the binding of labeled antibodies is measured using radioactive, fluorescent, or enzyme labels.

[0144] “Epitope mapping” is the process of identifying the binding sites, or epitopes, of antibodies on their target antigens. “Epitope binning” is the process of grouping antibodies based on the epitopes they recognize. More particularly, epitope binning comprises methods and systems for discriminating the epitope recognition properties of different antibodies, using competition assays combined with computational processes for clustering antibodies based on their epitope recognition properties and identifying antibodies having distinct binding specificities.

[0145] An ‘ ‘effective amount” of a delivery vehicle is that amount sufficient to effectively bind or deliver a compound. An “effective amount” is generally an amount sufficient to reduce the severity and / or frequency of symptoms, eliminate the symptoms and / or underlying cause, prevent the occurrence of symptoms and / or their underlying cause, and / or improve or remediate the damage that results from or is associated with a disease, disorder, or condition, including, for example, cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome. In some embodiments, the effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount or a prophylactically effective amount.

[0146] The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used herein refers to the amount of an agent (e.g., an antibody provided herein or any other agent described herein) that is sufficient to reduce and / or ameliorate the severity and / or duration of a given disease, disorder, or condition, and / or a symptom related thereto, for example, Sdc2-associated diseases and disorders (e.g., cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome). A “therapeutically effective amount” of a substance / molecule / agent of the present disclosure (e.g., an anti-Sdc2 antibody) may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the substance / molecule / agent to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount encompasses an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the substance / molecule / agent are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. In certain embodiments, the term “therapeutically effective amount”refers to an amount of an antibody or other agent (e.g., drug) effective to “treat” a disease, disorder, or condition, in a subject or mammal.

[0147] A “prophylactically effective amount” is an amount of a pharmaceutical composition that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing, delaying, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of a disease, disorder, condition, or associated symptom(s), for example, Sdc2 -associated diseases and disorders (e.g., cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome). Typically, but not necessarily, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of a disease, disorder, or condition, a prophylactically effective amount may be less than a therapeutically effective amount. The full therapeutic or prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations.

[0148] ‘ ‘Chronic” administration refers to administration of the agent(s) in a continuous mode (e.g., for a period of time such as days, weeks, months, or years) as opposed to an acute mode, so as to maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended period of time. “Intermittent” administration is treatment that is not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic in nature.

[0149] “Polyclonal antibodies” as used herein refer to an antibody population generated in an immunogenic response to a protein having many epitopes and thus includes a variety of different antibodies directed to the same or different epitopes within the protein. Methods for producing polyclonal antibodies are known in the art (See, e.g., Short Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al. eds., 5th ed. 2002)).

[0150] An ‘ ‘isolated nucleic acid” is a nucleic acid, for example, an RNA, DNA, or a mixed nucleic acid, which is substantially separated from other genome DNA sequences as well as proteins or complexes such as ribosomes and polymerases, which naturally accompany a native sequence. An “isolated” nucleic acid molecule is one which is separated from other nucleic acid molecules which are present in the natural source of the nucleic acid molecule. Moreover, an “isolated” nucleic acid molecule, such as a cDNA molecule, can be substantially free of other cellular material, or culture medium when produced by recombinant techniques, or substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. In a specific embodiment, one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding an antibody as described herein are isolated or purified. The term embraces nucleic acid sequences that have been removed from their naturally occurring environment and includes recombinant or cloned DNA isolates and chemically synthesized analogues or analogues biologically synthesized by heterologous systems. A substantially pure molecule may include isolated forms of the molecule.

[0151] As used herein, the term “polynucleotide,” synonymously referred to as “nucleic acid molecule,” “nucleotides” or “nucleic acids,” refers to any polyribonucleotide orpolydeoxyribonucleotide, which can be unmodified RNA or DNA or modified RNA or DNA. “Polynucleotides” include, without limitation single- and double -stranded DNA, DNA that is a mixture of single- and double-stranded regions, single- and double-stranded RNA, and RNA that is mixture of single- and double-stranded regions, hybrid molecules comprising DNA and RNA that can be single-stranded or, more typically, double-stranded or a mixture of single- and double-stranded regions. In addition, “polynucleotide” refers to triple-stranded regions comprising RNA or DNA or both RNA and DNA. The term polynucleotide also includes DNAs or RNAs containing one or more modified bases and DNAs or RNAs with backbones modified for stability or for other reasons. “Modified” bases include, for example, tritylated bases and unusual bases such as inosine. A variety of modifications can be made to DNA and RNA; thus, “polynucleotide” embraces chemically, enzymatically or metabolically modified forms of polynucleotides as typically found in nature, as well as the chemical forms of DNA and RNA characteristic of viruses and cells. “Polynucleotide” also embraces relatively short nucleic acid chains, often referred to as oligonucleotides. “Polynucleotide” or “nucleic acid,” as used interchangeably herein, refers to polymers of nucleotides of any length and includes DNA and RNA. The nucleotides can be deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified nucleotides or bases, and / or their analogs, or any substrate that can be incorporated into a polymer by DNA or RNA polymerase or by a synthetic reaction. A polynucleotide may comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and their analogs. “Oligonucleotide,” as used herein, refers to short, generally single-stranded, synthetic polynucleotides that are generally, but not necessarily, fewer than about 200 nucleotides in length. The terms “oligonucleotide” and “polynucleotide” are not mutually exclusive. The description above for polynucleotides is equally and fully applicable to oligonucleotides. A cell that produces an anti- Sdc2 antibody of the present disclosure may include a parent hybridoma cell, as well as bacterial and eukaryotic host cells into which nucleic acids encoding the antibodies have been introduced. Suitable host cells are disclosed below.

[0152] Unless specified otherwise, the left-hand end of any single-stranded polynucleotide sequence disclosed herein is the 5’ end; the left-hand direction of double-stranded polynucleotide sequences is referred to as the 5’ direction. The direction of 5’ to 3’ addition of nascent RNA transcripts is referred to as the transcription direction; sequence regions on the DNA strand having the same sequence as the RNA transcript that are 5 ’ to the 5 ’ end of the RNA transcript are referred to as “upstream sequences”; sequence regions on the DNA strand having the same sequence as the RNA transcript that are 3’ to the 3’ end of the RNA transcript are referred to as “downstream sequences.”

[0153] The terms “prevent,” “preventing,” and “prevention” refer to reducing the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of a disease, disorder, condition, or associated symptom(s) (e.g., cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome).

[0154] The term “prophylactic agent” refers to any agent that can totally or partially inhibit the development, recurrence, onset, or spread of a disease, for example, Sdc2 -associated diseases anddisorders (e.g., cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome) and / or symptom related thereto in a subject. In certain embodiments, the term “prophylactic agent” refers to an anti- Sdc2 antibody as described herein.

[0155] As used herein, a “prophylactically effective serum titer” is the serum titer of a Sdc2 antibody, e.g., a Sdc2 antibody as described herein, in a subject (e.g., a human), that totally or partially inhibits the development, recurrence, onset, or spread of a disease, disorder, or condition, for example, Sdc2 -associated diseases and disorders (e.g., cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome) and / or symptom related thereto in the subject.

[0157] The term “recombinant antibody” refers to an antibody that is prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means. Recombinant antibodies can be antibodies expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell, antibodies isolated from a recombinant, combinatorial antibody library, antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse or cow) that is transgenic and / or transchromosomal for human immunoglobulin genes (see, e.g. , Taylor et al. , 1992, Nucl. Acids Res. 20:6287-95), or antibodies prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by any other means that involves splicing of immunoglobulin gene sequences to other DNA sequences. Such recombinant antibodies can have variable and constant regions, including those derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences (See Kabat et al., supra). In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant antibodies may be subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic mutagenesis), thus the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germline VH and VL sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo.

[0158] The term “serum titer” refers to an average serum titer in a subject from multiple samples (e.g., at multiple time points) or in a population of at least 10, at least 20, at least 40 subjects, up to about 100, 1000, or more.

[0159] The term “side effects” encompasses unwanted and / or adverse effects of a therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent). Unwanted effects are not necessarily adverse. An adverse effect from a therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent) might be harmful, uncomfortable, or risky.

[0170] As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment” and “treating” refer to the reduction or amelioration of the progression, severity, and / or duration of a disease or condition resulting from the administration of one or more therapies. Treating may be determined by assessing whether there has been a decrease, alleviation and / or mitigation of one or more symptoms associated with theunderlying disorder such that an improvement is observed with the patient, despite that the patient may still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. The term “treating” includes both managing and curing the disease. As used herein, “treating a disease or disorder” means reducing the frequency with which a symptom of the disease or disorder is experienced by a patient. Disease and disorder are used interchangeably herein. As used herein, the term “treatment” or “treating” encompasses prophylaxis and / or therapy. Accordingly, the compositions and methods provided herein are not limited to therapeutic applications and can be used in prophylactic ones. Therefore “treating” or “treatment” of a state, disorder or condition includes: (i) preventing or delaying the appearance of clinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition developing in a subject that may be afflicted with or predisposed to the state, disorder or condition but does not yet experience or display clinical or subclinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition, (ii) inhibiting the state, disorder or condition, z.e., arresting or reducing the development of the disease or at least one clinical or subclinical symptom thereof, or (iii) relieving the disease, i.e. causing regression of the state, disorder or condition or at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms. As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” are all intended to refer to an amelioration or reversal of at least one measurable physical parameter related to a disease or disorder, which is not necessarily discernible in the subject, but can be discernible in the subject. The terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment,” can also refer to causing regression, preventing the progression, or at least slowing down the progression of the disease, disorder, or condition. In a particular embodiment, “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” refer to an alleviation, prevention of the development or onset, or reduction in the duration of one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or condition, such as a tumor or more preferably a cancer. In a particular embodiment, “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” refer to prevention of the recurrence of the disease, disorder, or condition.

[0172] “Administer” or “administration” refers to the act of injecting or otherwise physically delivering a substance as it exists outside the body (e.g., an anti-Sdc2 antibody as described herein) into a patient, such as by mucosal, intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular delivery, and / or any other method of physical delivery described herein or known in the art. When a disease, disorder, condition, or a symptom thereof, is being treated, administration of the substance typically occurs after the onsetof the disease, disorder, condition, or symptoms thereof. When a disease, disorder, condition, or symptoms thereof, are being prevented, administration of the substance typically occurs before the onset of the disease, disorder, condition, or symptoms thereof.

[0173] In the context of a polypeptide, the term “analog” as used herein refers to a polypeptide that possesses a similar or identical function as a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody but does not necessarily comprise a similar or identical amino acid sequence of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody, or possess a similar or identical structure of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody. A polypeptide that has a similar amino acid sequence refers to a polypeptide that satisfies at least one of the followings: (a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody provided herein; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleotide sequence encoding a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody (or VH or VL region thereof) described herein at least 5 amino acid residues, at least 10 amino acid residues, at least 15 amino acid residues, at least 20 amino acid residues, at least 25 amino acid residues, at least 30 amino acid residues, at least 40 amino acid residues, at least 50 amino acid residues, at least 60 amino residues, at least 70 amino acid residues, at least 80 amino acid residues, at least 90 amino acid residues, at least 100 amino acid residues, at least 125 amino acid residues, or at least 150 amino acid residues (see, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (2001); and Maniatis et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (1982)); or (c) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence that is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% identical to the nucleotide sequence encoding a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody (or VH or VL region thereof) described herein. A polypeptide with similar structure to a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody provided herein refers to a polypeptide that has a similar secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody provided herein. The structure of a polypeptide can be determined by methods known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and crystallographic electron microscopy.

[0174] In the context of a polypeptide, the term “derivative” as used herein refers to a polypeptide that comprises an amino acid sequence of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an antibody that binds to a Sdc2 polypeptide which has been altered by the introduction of amino acid residue substitutions, deletions, or additions. The term “derivative” as used herein also refers to a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an antibody that binds to a Sdc2 polypeptidewhich has been chemically modified, e.g. , by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule to the polypeptide. For example, but not by way of limitation, a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody may be chemically modified, e.g., by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, chemical cleavage, formulation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein, etc. The derivatives are modified in a manner that is different from naturally occurring or starting peptide or polypeptides, either in the type or location of the molecules attached. Derivatives further include deletion of one or more chemical groups which are naturally present on the peptide or polypeptide. Further, a derivative of a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody may contain one or more non-classical amino acids. A polypeptide derivative possesses a similar or identical function as a Sdc2 polypeptide, a fragment of a Sdc2 polypeptide, or an anti-Sdc2 antibody provided herein.

[0175] The peptide sequences described herein are written according to the usual convention whereby the N-terminal region of the peptide is on the left and the C-terminal region is on the right. Although isomeric forms of the amino acids are known, it is the L-form of the amino acid that is represented unless otherwise expressly indicated.5.2 Generation of Human Therapeutic Antibodies

[0176] Therapeutic use of humanized and fully human antibodies is preferable to the use of antibodies that possess murine or rat sequence regions (e.g., variable and / or constant regions) in that immune recognition of such murine or rat derived proteins as foreign can lead to the rapid clearance of the antibodies or can lead to the generation of an immune response against the antibody by a recipient subject. While isolating individual, antigen-specific plasma B cells from human subject is possible and increasing feasible with recent advances in high-throughput cell sorting and sequencing technologies, this method remains expensive and time consuming. Several other strategies have been developed to rapidly produce fully human or largely human antibodies against defined antigens for clinical development, including humanization and synthetic phage display.

[0177] “Humanization” is the process by which antibodies generated in non-human animal models (for instance mice) and screened for appropriate function and affinity are converted to mostly human sequences. Typically, this process involves the cloning of the antigen-specificity conferring amino acid sequences (e.g., the complementarity determining regions (CDRs)) into a fully human heavy and light chain backbone. In this way, the resulting mostly human hybrid antibody retains the antigen binding function conferred by the original mouse sequences. Discovery studies involving humanized antibodies benefit from the ease of working with small animal models in handling and immunization with the desired antigen. In certain embodiments, a mouse antibody generation platform utilizing a number of outbred strains (e.g., the PentaMice™ platform) was used to generate a wide variety ofantibody clones against human, pig, and mouse Sdc2 protein. Those clones which passed screening, were humanized for further development.

[0178] Another strategy for rapidly producing antigen-specific fully human antibodies is the use of filamentous phage display libraries. Here, large libraries of scFv or Fab antibodies are produced by high throughput cloning methods and engineered onto the coat proteins of filamentous phage particles such that each viral particle displays a single unique antibody clone. The library of phage particles is then screen for high-affinity binding to an antigen of interest via panning. In certain embodiments, provided is a fully human anti- Sdc2 antibody and scFv clones which were screened from phage display libraries comprising naive scFv clones (e.g., a XOMA phage display platform).5.3 Anti-Syndecan-2 Antibodies

[0179] The invention is based, in part, on the discovery of one or more anti-syndecan-2 antibodies that modulate the signaling of syndecan-2, including by inhibiting syndecan-2 binding to VISTA. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may bind to the extracellular region of syndecan-2, and more specifically, to the region of the extracellular domain of syndecan-2 to which Dep-1 binds. Dep-1 is a phosphatase that de-phosphorylates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and controls vascular permeability. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may bind to the extracellular region of syndecan-2, and more specifically, to the region of the extracellular domain of syndecan-2 to which VISTA binds. The anti- syndecan-2 antibody may thereby inhibit binding of syndecan-2 to VISTA, and inhibits cytokine release mediated by VISTA signaling. Without being bound by any theory, the anti-syndecan-2 antibody can also downregulate the surface expression of syndecan-2 (e.g., via reduced expression of Sdc2 or enhanced endocytosis of cell surface Sdc2), and subsequently inhibit VISTA biological activity as Sdc2 and VISTA are binding partners.

[0180] In one aspect, provided herein is an antibody that binds Sdc2. In some embodiments, the syndecan-2 protein to which the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds is of human, mouse, or porcine origin. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment binds specifically to an epitope which is shared by human, mouse, and porcine syndecan-2 proteins or any combination thereof (i.e., human and mouse, mouse and porcine, or porcine and human). Sdc2 antibodies are known in the art, including those disclosed in WO 2023 / 2I5787AI, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0181] Provided herein, in certain aspects is an anti-syndecan-2 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, compositions comprising an anti-syndecan-2 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and methods for using the same.
