Abstract
Description
[0001] Antigen-Binding Molecules
[0002] This application claims priority from US 63 / 681730 filed 9 August 2024, the contents and elements of which are herein incorporated by reference for all purposes.
[0003] Technical Field
[0004] The present disclosure relates to the field of molecular biology, more specifically antibody technology. The present disclosure also relates to methods of medical treatment and prophylaxis.
[0005] Background
[0006] Interleukins play a central role in maintaining T cell homeostasis and mediating proper immune responses. Specifically, interleukins and associated cytokines serve as the means of communication for innate and adaptive immune cells, as well as non-immune cells and tissues. Thus, interleukins have a critical role in cancer development, progression and control (Briukhovetska D. et al. Nat Rev Cancer 21 , 481-499 (2021)).
[0007] The use of interleukins in therapy has shown much promise but has been associated with drawbacks and disappointing results.
[0008] IL-2 was the first interleukin to be approved for cancer treatment, although its use entails major safety concerns. The high dose of IL-2 that is required for effective treatment of certain diseases is highly toxic. Major adverse effects of such therapy include vascular leak syndrome (VLS), which results in accumulation of the intravascular fluid in organs such as lung and liver with subsequent pulmonary edema and liver damage. There is no treatment for VLS except for withdrawing therapy.
[0009] The common cytokine receptor gamma chain (common gamma chain, yc, or CD132) is a cytokine receptor polypeptide which forms part of the cytokine receptor complex of the IL-2 receptor. Heterodimerization of yc and the beta chain of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R0) is necessary for effective IL-2 signal transduction.
[0010] Antigen-binding molecules that bind to yc and IL-2R0 are disclosed e.g. in WO 2017 / 021540 A1 .
[0011] Immune checkpoint proteins are expressed on the surface of immune cells (e.g., activated T-cells), and regulate the activation of the cells that they are expressed on. This regulation is controlled by ligand binding and subsequent signalling.
[0012] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is an inhibitor of both adaptive and innate immune responses, and is expressed on activated T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and monocytes. Importantly, PD-1 is highly expressed on tumor-specific T cells such as tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) (Ahmadzadeh et al., Blood. 2009 Aug 20; 114(8): 1537-1544). Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) is considered to be a co-inhibitory factor of the immune response. Binding of PD-L1 with PD-1 reduces the proliferation of PD-1 positive cells, inhibits their cytokine secretion, and induces apoptosis (Han et al., Am J Cancer Res. 2020; 10(3): 727-742).
[0013] Immune checkpoint protein inhibitors can function by blocking immune checkpoint proteins from binding their ligands. This blocking is capable of preventing the inhibition of activated T-cells (e.g., activated TILs), and can improve anti-cancer responses.

[0446] The present disclosure also provides antigen-binding molecules that bind to common y chain (yc; CD132), antigen-binding molecules that bind to IL-21 Ra (CD360), and antigen-binding molecules that bind to PD-1 (CD279), having novel biophysical and / or functional properties as compared to antigenbinding molecules disclosed in the prior art.
[0447] The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for both yc and IL-2R0. The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for (i) yc, (ii) IL-2R0, and (iii) another target antigen. The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for (i) yc, (ii) IL-2R0, and (iii) PD-1.
[0448] The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for both yc and IL-21 Ra. The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for (i) yc, (ii) IL-21 Ra, and (iii) another target antigen. The present disclosure also encompasses the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of antigen-binding molecules with specificity for (i) yc, (ii) IL-21 Ra, and (iii) PD-1.
[0449] In some aspects, this disclosure describes cytokine receptor agonists in which receptor activation is achieved through heterodimerization of the receptor components by multispecific antigen binding molecules (e.g. bispecific antibodies or bi-functional proteins) possessing anti-yc specificity and anti-IL- 2Rp specificity.
[0450] In some aspects, this disclosure describes cytokine receptor agonists in which receptor activation is achieved through heterodimerization of the receptor components by multispecific antigen binding molecules (e.g. bispecific antibodies or bi-functional proteins) possessing anti-yc specificity and anti-IL- 21 Ra specificity.
[0451] In some aspects, this disclosure describes antigen binding molecules which are capable of (i) agonising cytokine receptors and (ii) targeting activated immune cells. In some embodiments, cytokine receptor agonists are targeted to cells expressing an immune cell surface molecule. In some embodiments, cytokine receptor agonists are targeted to cells expressing immune checkpoint proteins. Antigen binding molecules comprising: (i) a yc-binding moiety, (ii) an IL-2Rp-binding moiety, and (iii) a PD-1- binding moiety are disclosed, wherein the yc-binding moiety and the IL-2Rp-binding moiety function as IL-2 receptor agonists, and the PD-1 -binding moiety binds to immune cells which express PD-1 . Antigen binding molecules comprising: (i) a yc-binding moiety, (ii) an IL-21 Ra-binding moiety, and (iii) a PD-1- binding moiety are disclosed, wherein the yc-binding moiety and the IL-21 Ra-binding moiety function as IL-21 receptor agonists, and the PD-1-binding moiety binds to immune cells which express PD-1 . Consequently, the antigen binding molecule can increase the local concentration of activated immune cells (e.g., activated tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)) in the proximity of cells which express yc and IL-2R0. This means that the effects of IL-2 agonism can be further enhanced by the activity of immune cells which express PD-1 (e.g., activated T cells, such as activated TILs).
[0452] In some aspects, this disclosure describes antigen binding molecules which are capable of agonising cytokine receptors and inhibiting immune checkpoints. For example, antigen binding molecules comprising: (i) a yc-binding moiety, (ii) an IL-2Rp-binding moiety, and (iii) a PD-1-binding moiety are disclosed, wherein the yc-binding moiety and the IL-2Rp-binding moiety function as an IL-2 receptor agonist, and the PD-1-binding moiety blocks PD-1 from binding PD-L1. This means that the effects of IL-2 agonism can be further enhanced by the anti-cancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibition (e.g., enhanced antitumor T cell cytotoxicity, enhanced proinflammatory cytokine production, and enhanced immune cell proliferation). In some embodiments, the antigen binding molecule targets activated immune cells (e.g., activated TILs) and also inhibits an immune checkpoint protein (e.g., PD-1). In some embodiments, the antigen binding molecule targets activated immune cells (e.g., activated TILs) but does not inhibit an immune checkpoint protein (e.g., PD-1). These different embodiments have been developed by the inventors to ensure that different treatment options are available for different subjects / indications. In some cases, the disease to be treated may benefit from activated immune cell targeting and immune checkpoint inhibition, but in other cases the disease to be treated may benefit from activated immune cell targeting without immune checkpoint inhibition.
[0453] The antigen binding molecules of the present disclosure are associated with beneficial properties which overcome deficiencies and problems associated with the therapeutic administration of cytokines or engineered cytokines (e.g. PEGylated cytokines and antibody-coupled-cytokines). Additionally, antigen binding molecules of the present disclosure are associated with beneficial properties which overcome deficiencies and problems associated with known antigen-binding molecules that bind to yc and IL-2R0 or yc and IL-21 Ra.
[0454] Common v chain (yc)
[0455] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to Human common gamma (y) chain (yc; also known as CD132, IL-2RG and CIDX) may be identified on publicly available databases such as UniProt (P31785), Genbank (BAA01857.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF-P31785-F1). Human yc is the protein identified by UniProt P31785-1. The structure and function of yc is reviewed e.g. in Waickman et al., Cell Mol Life Sci. (2016) 73(2): 253-269 and Leonard et al., Immunity (2019) 50(4):832-850, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0456] The canonical isoform of human yc (isoform 1) has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1 . The N-terminal 23 amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 constitute a signal peptide (SEQ ID NO:2), and so the mature form ( / .e. after processing to remove the signal peptide) of human yc has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3. Amino acids 23 to 262 of SEQ ID NO:1 constitute the extracellular domain of yc (SEQ ID NO:4), positions 263 to 283 form a single-pass transmembrane domain (SEQ ID NO:5), and positions 284 to 369 form the cytoplasmic domain (SEQ ID NO:6). The extracellular domain comprises a fibronectin type III (FNIII) domain (shown in SEQ ID NO:7) comprising a WSXWS motif shown in SEQ ID NO:8. WSXWS motifs are conserved among type I cytokine receptor polypeptides, and the WSXWS motif of yc is thought to be important for conformational changes of the receptor.
[0457] All receptors of the yc receptor family comprise yc as a constituent polypeptide. Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) associates with yc, and upon activation of a yc-containing cytokine receptor, JAK3 becomes phosphorylated and activated. Phosphorylated JAK3 then phosphorylates and activates downstream signalling proteins such as STAT5, and also triggers signalling through the MAPK / ERK and PI3K / Akt signal transduction pathways. Signalling through yc family receptors promotes immune cell activation, proliferation and survival. In this specification ‘common y chain’, ‘common gamma chain’, ‘yc’, or ‘CD132’ refers to common y chain from any species, and includes isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues of yc from any species. In some embodiments yc is yc from a mammal (e.g. a therian, placental, epitherian, preptotheria, archontan, primate (rhesus, cynomolgous, non-human primate or human)). In some embodiments, the yc is human Yc.
[0458] As used herein, isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues of a given reference protein (e.g. yc) may be characterised as having at least 70% sequence identity, preferably one of >80%, >85%, >90%, >91%, >92%, >93%, >94%, >95%, >96%, >97%, >98%, >99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of the reference protein.
[0459] A ‘fragment’ generally refers to a fraction of the reference protein. A ‘variant’ generally refers to a protein having an amino acid sequence comprising one or more amino acid substitutions, insertions, deletions or other modifications relative to the amino acid sequence of the reference protein, but retaining a considerable degree of sequence identity (e.g. at least 60%) to the amino acid sequence of the reference protein. An ‘isoform’ generally refers to a variant of the reference protein expressed by the same species as the species of the reference protein. A ‘homologue’ generally refers to a variant of the reference protein produced by a different species as compared to the species of the reference protein. Homologues include orthologues. For example, homologues of human yc include e.g. mouse yc (UniProt P34902).
[0460] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to cynomolgous yc may be identified on publicly available databases such as UniProt (Q38JL2), Genbank (ABB02662.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF- Q38JL2-F1). The amino acid sequence of the cynomolgous yc extracellular domain has 97.5% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human yc extracellular domain.
[0461] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to rat yc may be identified on publicly available databases such as Genbank (NP_543165.1). The amino acid sequence of the rat yc extracellular domain has 71 .6% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human yc extracellular domain.
[0462] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to mouse yc may be identified on publicly available databases such as UniProt (P34902), Genbank (BAA02974.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF- P34902-F1). The amino acid sequence of the mouse yc extracellular domain has 67.9% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human yc extracellular domain.

[0464] Isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues of yc according to the present disclosure may optionally be characterised as having at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of an immature or mature yc isoform from a given species, e.g. human.
[0465] Isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues may optionally be functional isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues, e.g. having a functional property / activity of the reference yc (e.g. human yc isoform 1), as determined by analysis by a suitable assay for the functional property / activity. For example, an isoform, fragment, variant or homologue of yc may display one or more of: association with one or more of IL-2Rp, IL-2Ra, IL-15Ra, IL-4Ra, IL-9Ra, IL-21 Ra, or IL-7Ra, or binding to one or more of IL-2, IL-15, IL-4, IL-9, IL-21 or IL-7.

[0467] In some embodiments, the yc has at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1 or 3.

[0469] Signalling through cytokine receptors comprising yc
[0470] There are a number of cytokines that signal through cytokine receptors comprising yc (also referred to herein as yc -containing receptor complexes), e.g. IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. Such cytokines are considered to belong to the yc family of cytokines. The biology of the yc family of cytokines is reviewed e.g. in Lin and Leonard, Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol (2018) 10(9):a028449, Leonard et al., Immunity (2019) 50(4):832-850 and Pulliam et al., Immunol Lett. (2016) 169: 61-72, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0471] Members of the common cytokine receptor gamma chain family of cytokines signal through receptor complexes that contain yc. Such cytokines may be referred to herein as yc-associated cytokines. The gamma-chain subunit associates with different cytokine-specific receptor subunits to form unique heterodimeric receptors. Common gamma-chain family cytokines generally activate three major signalling pathways that promote cellular survival and proliferation: the PI3K-Akt pathway, the RAS-MAPK pathway, and the JAK-STAT pathway. Differences in the expression patterns of the cytokines or their unique receptor components, along with the activation of different STAT proteins may account for some of the distinct effects mediated by gamma-chain family cytokines.
[0472] Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine which mediates its effects through binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes. The major sources of IL-2 are activated CD4+ T cells and activated CD8+ T cells. Treatment with IL-2 is an approved immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer, and works by promoting proliferation and activity of effector immune cells such as T cells and NK cells (see e.g. Skorombolas and Frelinger, Expert Rev Clin Immunol. (2014) 10(2): 207-217). However, the high dose of IL-2 that is required for effective treatment of certain diseases is highly toxic. IL-2 exerts its pleiotropic functions by binding to different combinations of receptor components expressed on different cell types: the alpha chain (IL-2Ra), the beta chain (IL-2R0), and yc. Isolated IL-2Ra has been termed the ‘low affinity’ IL-2 receptor (binding affinity KD ~ 10 nM) and is not involved in signal transduction. A complex of IL-2R0 and yc binds IL-2 with intermediate affinity (KD ~ 1 nM), although IL-2R0 alone has very low affinity (KD ~ 100 nM) and yc alone has virtually no detectable binding affinity for IL-2. A complex with all three subunits, IL-2Ra, IL-2RJ3, and yc, binds IL-2 with high affinity (KD ~ 10 pM). High-affinity a-p-yc IL- 2Rs are typically found on CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) as well as recently activated T cells. Intermediate-affinity p-yc IL-2Rs are present at a low level on naive CD8+ cells, but are prominent on antigen-experienced (memory) and memory-phenotype (MP) CD8+ T cells as well as natural killer (NK) cells. Both MPCD8+ T cells and NK cells express very high levels of IL-2Rp and readily respond to IL-2. Engineered IL-2 molecules have been developed for use in therapy. Rationally designed IL-2 variants (IL- 2 muteins) have been developed to overcome some of the problems of IL-2 therapy (Khoryati et al. Sci Immunol. (2020) 5(50): eaba5264). Additionally, PEGylated IL-2 (PEG-IL-2) molecules have been developed for similar reasons (Zhang et al. Nat Biomed Eng. (2021) 5(11):1288-1305). However, neither IL-2 muteins nor PEG-IL-2 are associated with all of the benefits associated with the antigen binding molecules of the present disclosure. For example, neither IL-2 muteins nor PEG-IL-2 are designed to specifically bind an optimal subset of IL-2R polypeptides ( / .e. yc and I L-2Rp, but not IL-2Ra), they are not tuneable in the same way as the presently disclosed antigen binding molecules, and they do not have the same low levels immunogenicity.
[0473] Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has many biological roles, including the stimulation of activated B cell and T cell proliferation, and the differentiation of B cells into plasma cells. It is a key regulator in humoral and adaptive immunity. IL-4 induces B cell class switching to IgE, and up-regulates MHC class II production. IL-4 decreases the production of Th1 cells, macrophages, IFNy, and dendritic cells. IL4 receptors are over-expressed by many epithelial cancers and could be a promising target for metastatic tumor therapy (Bankaitis etal. Clin Exp Metastasis. (2015) 32(8): 847-856). The cytokine-binding receptor chain for IL-4 is IL-4Ra. This receptor chain is widely expressed, with most cells carrying at least low numbers of this receptor chain. Upon IL-4 binding to IL-4Ra, the IL-4 / IL-4Ra complex will bind a secondary receptor chain, selected from either yc or IL-13Ra1 (Junttila. Front Immunol. (2018) 9:888). The expression of these secondary chains varies among different cell types. In non-hematopoietic cells, yc expression is low or absent, but higher amounts of IL-13Ra1 are expressed. By contrast, lymphocytes express only low levels of IL-13Ra1 and relatively large amounts of yc. Finally, myeloid cells fall in between non- hematopoietic cells and lymphocytes, as they express both IL-13Ra1 and yc. IL-4 activates multiple signalling pathways. IL-4 activates JAK1 and JAK3 via the type I IL-4 receptor; however, IL-4 activates JAK1 and either JAK2 or TYK2 (depending on the cell type) via type II IL-4 receptors (Keegan et al. Fac Rev. (2021) 10:71). Regardless of the receptor type, IL-4 is associated with potent activation of STAT6, which docks on key phosphotyrosines on IL-4Ra. The type I IL-4 receptor (containing IL-4Ra and yc) also activates STAT5 signalling. Additionally, IL-4 (via type I IL-4 receptor) activates IRS2 efficiently, therefore IL-4 subsequently activates various pathways including Sos / Ras, PI3K / Akt, PKB / mTOR, or PKC. Interleukin-7 (IL-7), a molecule known for its growth-promoting effects on progenitors of B cells, plays a vital role in health maintenance and disease prevention, with congenital deficiency of IL-7 signaling leading to profound immunodeficiency. Elevated IL-7 levels have been associated with poor prognosis of a number of cancers (Zarogoulidis et al., J Cancer. (2014) 5(9): 765-773). IL-7 binds to its receptor which is composed of the two chains IL-7Ra and yc. Whereas yc is expressed by most hematopoietic cells, IL- 7Ra is nearly exclusively expressed on lymphoid cells. After binding to its receptor, IL-7 signals through two different pathways: JAK-STAT (Janus kinase-Signal transducer and activator of transcription) and PI3K / Akt (responsible for differentiation and survival; EIKassar and Gress, J Immunotoxicol. (2010) 7(1): 1-7). When IL-7 binds to IL-7Ra, it recruits yc, bringing together intracellular domains bearing JAK1 and JAK3. IL-7 binding to the IL-7 receptor complex results in downstream STAT1 , STAT3, and STAT5 signalling. Under steady -state conditions, IL-7 signaling is principally mediated by activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). In contrast, under lymphopenic conditions, there is a modulation of STAT1 expression resulting in IL-7-dependent STAT1 and STAT5 activation (Le Saout et al. JCI Insight. (2017) 2(22): e96228). Activation by IL-7 results in phosphorylation of the Y449 residue on IL-7Ra (Jiang et al., Cytokine Growth Factor Rev. (2005) 16:513-533). The p85a subunit of PI3K binds directly to phosphorylated Y449 via an SH2 domain. This is followed by the allosteric activation of the catalytic subunit P110. PI3K is recruited to the membrane where it produces the phosphatidyl-inositol PIP3 by phosphorylating PIP2. PIP3 activates downstream genes with a plekstrin homology domain such as PDK1 and Akt (Shiroki et al., J Immunol. (2007) 178:1349-1356). Akt, in turn, phosphorylates genes that regulate cell metabolism, cell cycle progression, and survival, such as GSK3p, P27 and the death protein, BAD.
[0474] Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a cytokine which stimulates cell proliferation and prevents apoptosis. IL-9 is a pleiotropic cytokine which was primarily studied in the context of T helper 2 (TH2)-associated immuno- pathological conditions such as asthma and parasitic infections. There was a paradigm shift in the biology of IL-9 after the recent discovery of TH9 cells, a new subtype of TH cells which secrete IL-9 in copious amounts. This has resulted in renewed interest in this cytokine, which was neglected since discovery because it was considered it to be just another TH2 cytokine. Recent studies have shown that it has multiple cellular sources and is critically involved in the immune pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and in guarding immune tolerance (Chakraborty et al. Int J Mol Sci. (2019) 20(9): 2113). IL-9 functions through the interleukin-9 receptor complex, which comprises IL-9 receptor alpha (IL-9Ra) and yc. When IL-9 binds to the IL-9 receptor complex, it activates different signal transducer and activator (STAT) proteins namely STAT1 , STAT3 and STAT5 and thus connects this cytokine to various biological processes. IL-9 is a pleiotropic cytokine that has both direct and indirect effects on hematopoietic progenitor cells, lymphocytes, and mast cells, as well as airway smooth muscle cells and epithelial cells (Lee at al. Pathology & Oncology Research (2020) 26:2017-2022). IL-9 also activates insulin receptor substrates (IRS) 1 and 2. Following JAK-mediated phosphorylation, IRS proteins interact with other SH2- containing signaling proteins, such as the regulatory subunit of Phosphatidylinositol-3 Kinase (PI3K), p85, causing the activation of the PI3K catalytic subunit p110. PI3K then activates downstream signaling molecules like PI3K-dependent kinase (PDK) and Akt. Akt then phosphorylates BAD and protects cells by preventing caspase-mediated apoptosis. IL-9 also activates the MAPK pathway in several cell lines of lymphoid and hematopoietic origin, but IL-9-mediated MAPK activation is weak compared to other cytokines like IL-3.
[0475] Interleukin-15 (IL-15) has structural similarity to IL-2. Like IL-2, IL-15 binds to and signals through a complex composed of IL-2 / IL-15 receptor beta chain (CD122) and yc (CD132). Interleukin 15 is considered as a powerful pro-inflammatory cytokine and has the ability to destabilize chromosomes and induce tumorigenesis (Zarogoulidis et al., J Cancer. (2014) 5(9): 765-773). IL-15 utilizes three distinct receptor chains in at least two different combinations to signal and exert its effects on the immune system. Despite the lack of homology in the amino acid sequence between IL-15 and IL-2, the mature IL- 15 protein binds to the IL-2Rpy heterodimer, activating the intracellular signal which leads to cell activation (Mishra et al., Clin Cancer Res. (2014) 20(8): 2044-2050). The third component of the IL-15R complex is a unique a-chain (IL-15Ra). In contrast to the IL-2Ra chain that binds IL-2 with low affinity and confers high affinity for IL-2 only when non-covalently linked the IL-2Rpy complex, IL-15Ra is by itself a high affinity receptor for IL-15 (Giri et al., EMBO J. (1995) 14:3654-63).
[0476] Binding of IL-15 to the IL-2 / 15Rpy heterodimer induces JAK1 activation that subsequently phosphorylates STAT3 via the p chain and JAK3 / STAT5 activation via its y chain. Phosphorylated STAT3 and STAT5 proteins form heterodimers that then translocate to the nucleus where they activate transcription of the anti -apo pt otic protein bcl-2 and proto-oncogenes c-myc, c-fos, and c-jun.
[0477] The Akt signaling mechanism utilizes an adaptor protein, She, which binds to a phosphotyrosine residue on the IL-2 / 15Rp, resulting in activation of Grb2 and AKT via the Shc^Grb2^Gab2^PI3K^Akt signaling pathway. This increases cell proliferation, survival and / or effector activity (Gu et al. Mol Cell Biol. 2000;20:7109-20.). In a third signaling pathway that follows the trans-presentation of IL-15 to IL-2 / 15Rpy and Shc-mediated activation of Grb2, the latter binds to the guanine nucleotide exchange factor, SOS, to form a Grb2-SOS complex that then activates the Ras-Raf pathway by facilitating the removal of GDP from a member of the Ras subfamily that in turn activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway for cellular proliferation (Adunyah et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1997;232:754-8). Thus IL-15-mediated Grb2 phosphorylation regulates both the PI3K and MAPK pathways. Collectively, these signaling mechanisms induce expression and activation of downstream effector molecules such as c- myc, c-fos, c-jun, Bcl-2 and NF-KB.
[0478] Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that has potent regulatory effects on cells of the immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells that can destroy virally infected or cancerous cells. This cytokine induces cell division / proliferation in its target cells. Several preclinical studies showed that IL-21 has antitumor activity in different tumor models, through mechanisms involving the activation of NK and T or B cell responses (Croce at al. J Immunol Res. 2015; 2015: 696578). IL-21 signals via heterodimers of the IL-21 receptor (IL-21 R) and yc, and utilizes the JAK-STAT, MAPK and PI3K pathways.
[0479] IL-21 binding stabilizes the complex between IL-21 R and yc, leading to the activation of JAK1 and JAK3, which allows the recruitment and phosphorylation of STAT proteins (predominantly STAT3, but also STAT1 and STAT5). IL-21 binding to IL-21 R can also activate the MARK and PI3K signalling pathways. IL-21 induces the transcription of the suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 (SOCS1) and SOCS3 proteins, which downregulate the JAK-STAT pathway.

[0502] Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and the IL-2 receptor lnterleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine which mediates its effects through binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes. The major sources of IL-2 are activated CD4+ T cells and activated CD8+ T cells. Treatment with IL-2 is an approved immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer, and works by promoting proliferation and activity of effector immune cells such as T cells and NK cells (see e.g.
[0503] Skorombolas and Frelinger, Expert Rev Clin Immunol. (2014) 10(2): 207-217). However, the high dose of IL-2 that is required for effective treatment of certain diseases is highly toxic. IL-2 exerts its pleiotropic functions by binding to different combinations of receptor components expressed on different cell types: the alpha chain (IL-2Ra), the beta chain (IL-2R0), and yc.
[0504] Isolated IL-2Ra has been termed the ‘low affinity’ IL-2 receptor (binding affinity KD ~ 10 nM) and is not involved in signal transduction. A complex of IL-2R0 and yc binds IL-2 with intermediate affinity (KD ~ 1 nM), although IL-2R0 alone has very low affinity (KD ~ 100 nM) and yc alone has virtually no detectable binding affinity for IL-2. A complex with all three subunits, IL-2Ra, IL-2R0, and yc, binds IL-2 with high affinity (KD ~ 10 pM). High-affinity a-p-yc IL-2Rs are typically found on CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) as well as recently activated T cells. Intermediate-affinity p-yc IL-2Rs are present at a low level on naive CD8+ cells but are prominent on antigen-experienced (memory) and memory-phenotype (MP) CD8+ T cells as well as natural killer (NK) cells. Both MPCD8+ T cells and NK cells express very high levels of IL- 2Rp and readily respond to IL-2.
[0505] Engineered IL-2 molecules have been developed for use in therapy. Rationally designed IL-2 variants (IL- 2 muteins) have been developed to overcome some of the problems of IL-2 therapy (Khoryati et al. Sci Immunol. (2020) 5(50): eaba5264). Additionally, PEGylated IL-2 (PEG-IL-2) molecules have been developed for similar reasons (Zhang et al. Nat Biomed Eng. (2021) 5(11):1288-1305). However, neither IL-2 muteins nor PEG-IL-2 are associated with all of the benefits associated with the antigen binding molecules of the present disclosure. For example, neither IL-2 muteins nor PEG-IL-2 are designed to specifically bind an optimal subset of IL-2R polypeptides ( / .e. yc and I L-2Rp, but not IL-2Ra), they are not tuneable in the same way as the presently disclosed antigen binding molecules, and they do not have the same low levels of immunogenicity.
[0506] In some embodiments, signalling may be mediated by a polypeptide complex comprising yc and IL-2R0 ( / .e. a yc:IL-2Rp complex). As explained hereinabove, yc and IL-2R0 interact to form the intermediateaffinity IL-2 receptor. Such signalling may be referred to as yc:IL-2Rp-mediated signalling. In some embodiments, signalling may be mediated by a polypeptide complex comprising IL-2, yc and IL-2R0 ( / .e. an IL-2:yc:IL-2Rp complex). Such signalling may be referred to as IL-2:yc:IL-2Rp-mediated signalling ( / .e. signalling mediated by binding of IL-2 to the intermediate-affinity IL-2 receptor).
[0507] In some embodiments, signalling may be mediated by a polypeptide complex comprising yc, IL-2R0 and IL-2Ra ( / .e. a yc:IL-2Rp:IL-2Ra complex). As explained hereinabove, yc, IL-2R0 and IL-2Ra interact to form the high-affinity IL-2 receptor. Such signalling may be referred to as yc:IL-2Rp:IL-2Ra-mediated signalling. In some embodiments, signalling may be mediated by a polypeptide complex comprising IL-2, yc, IL-2R0 and IL-2Ra ( / .e. an IL-2:yc:IL-2Rp:IL-2Ra complex). Such signalling may be referred to as IL- 2:yc:IL-2Rp:IL-2Ra-mediated signalling ( / .e. signalling mediated by binding of IL-2 to the high-affinity IL-2 receptor).

[0510] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to cynomolgous IL-2Rp may be identified on publically available databases such as UniProt (Q38J85), Genbank (ABB03908.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF-Q38J85-F1).

An isoform, fragment, variant or homologue of IL-2Rp may display association with one or more of yc, IL-2Ra, IL-15Ra, IL-2 or IL-15.
[0514] In some embodiments, the IL-2R0 has at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:9 or 11 .

[0515] Interleukin-21 (IL-21) and the IL-21 receptor Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that has potent regulatory effects on cells of the immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells that can destroy virally infected or cancerous cells. This cytokine induces cell division / proliferation in its target cells. Several preclinical studies showed that IL-21 has antitumor activity in different tumor models, through mechanism involving the activation of NK and T or B cell responses (Croce at al. J Immunol Res. 2015; 2015: 696578). IL-21 signals via heterodimers of the IL-21 receptor (IL-21 R) and yc, and utilizes the JAK-STAT, MARK and PI3K pathways.
[0516] IL-21 binding stabilizes the complex between IL-21 Ra and the yc, leading to the activation of JAK1 and JAK3, which allows the recruitment and phosphorylation of STAT proteins (predominantly STAT3, but also STAT1 and STAT5). IL-21 binding to IL-21 Ra can also activate the MARK and PI3K signalling pathways. IL-21 induces the transcription of the suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 (SOCS1) and SOCS3 proteins, which downregulate the JAK-STAT pathway.
[0517] Human IL-21 Ra (also known as CD360) is the protein identified by UniProt Q9HBE5. The canonical isoform of human IL-21 Ra has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:754. The N-terminal 19 amino acids of SEQ ID NO:754 constitute a signal peptide (SEQ ID NO:758), and so the mature form ( / .e. after processing to remove the signal peptide) of human IL-21 Ra has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:759. Human IL-21 Ra comprises an extracellular domain (SEQ ID NO:755), a transmembrane domain (SEQ ID NO:756), and a cytoplasmic domain (SEQ ID NO:757).
[0518] In this specification ‘IL-21 Ra’ refers to IL-21 Ra from any species, and includes isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues from any species. In some embodiments IL-21 Ra is IL-21 Ra from a mammal (e.g. a therian, placental, epitherian, preptotheria, archontan, primate (rhesus, cynomolgous, non-human primate or human)). In some embodiments, the IL-21 Ra is human IL-21 Ra.
[0519] An isoform, fragment, variant or homologue of IL-21 Ra may display association with yc or IL-21 . A fragment of IL-21 Ra may have a minimum length of one of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 or 500 amino acids, and may have a maximum length of one of 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 or 500 amino acids.
[0520] In some embodiments, the IL-21 Ra comprises, or consists of, an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:754 or 759. In some embodiments, a fragment of IL-21 Ra comprises, or consists of, an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:755.
[0521] Further antigen-binding moiety
[0522] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule comprises a further antigen-binding moiety. In some embodiments, the further antigen-binding moiety binds to a target antigen other than a yc-containing cytokine receptor polypeptide (e.g. a target antigen which is not yc or IL-2R0). In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule of the present disclosure comprises (i) a yc-binding moiety, (ii) a moiety that binds to a yc-containing cytokine receptor polypeptide (e.g. a target antigen which is not yc or I L-2Rp), and (iii) a moiety that binds to a target antigen (e.g. an antigen that is not a yc- containing cytokine receptor polypeptide).
[0523] It will be appreciated that an effect of the further binding moiety ( / .e., moiety (iii)) may be to localise the antigen-binding molecule to cells expressing its target. This can be useful to direct the effect of moieties (i) and (ii) of the antigen-binding molecule to cells expressing the target for moiety (iii), and can also lead to the recruitment of cells expressing the target for moiety (iii). By way of illustration, in embodiments wherein moiety (ii) is an IL-2Rp -binding moiety and wherein moiety (iii) is a PD-1 -binding moiety, the effect of moiety (iii) is to target the activity conferred by moieties (i) and (ii) to PD-1+ T cells.
[0524] Furthermore, it will be appreciated that an additional effect of the further binding moiety (i.e., moiety (iii)) may be to modulate an activity of the target of the further binding moiety (i.e., an activity of a polypeptide to which the further binding moiety binds). By way of example, in embodiments wherein moiety (iii) is a PD-1 -binding moiety, an effect of the further binding moiety may be to block PD-1 from binding to a ligand (e.g., PD-L1).
[0525] In some embodiments, the effect of the further binding moiety is to:
[0526] (1) localise the antigen-binding molecule to cells expressing the target antigen of the further binding moiety, and
[0527] (2) modulate an activity of the target antigen of the further binding moiety.
[0528] In some embodiments, the effect of the further binding moiety is to:
[0529] (1) recruit cells (e.g., activated immune cells) which express the target antigen of the further binding moiety, and
[0530] (2) modulate an activity of the target of the further binding moiety.
[0531] Moiety (iii) can also be employed to target the antigen-binding molecule to an anatomical site / tissue / organ of interest. This can be useful to direct the effect of moieties (i) and (ii) of the antigen-binding molecule to such regions. By way of illustration, in embodiments wherein moiety (ii) is an IL-2Rp-binding moiety and wherein moiety (iii) is a cancer cell antigen-binding moiety, an effect of moiety (iii) is to target the yc:IL- 2Rp receptor agonist activity conferred by moieties (i) and (ii) to yc:IL-2Rp receptor-expressing cells in the proximity of the cells expressing the cancer cell antigen.
[0532] Thus, it will be appreciated that moiety (iii) is employed to target / localise the antigen-binding molecule to, and / or increase the local concentration of the antigen-binding molecule in the proximity of, a cell comprising / expressing the target antigen for moiety (iii). The target for moiety (iii) may be any target antigen. In some embodiments, the target antigen may be a peptide / polypeptide, glycoprotein, lipoprotein, glycan, glycolipid, lipid, or fragment thereof. The antigen is preferably expressed at the cell surface of a cell expressing the antigen.

[0536] In some embodiments, the target antigen is a cancer-associated antigen. A cancer-associated antigen is an antigen whose expression or overexpression is associated with cancer.

In some embodiments, the cancer-associated antigen is a cell signalling molecule, e.g. a cytokine, chemokine, interferon, interleukin or lymphokine. In some embodiments, the cancer-associated antigen is a growth factor or a hormone. In some embodiments, the cancer-associated antigen is a viral antigen. A cancer cell antigen may be abnormally expressed by a cancer cell (e.g. the cancer cell antigen may be expressed with abnormal localisation), or may be expressed with an abnormal structure by a cancer cell. A cancer cell antigen may be capable of eliciting an immune response. In some embodiments, the antigen is expressed at the cell surface of the cancer cell ( / .e. the cancer cell antigen is a cancer cell surface antigen). In some embodiments, the part of the antigen which is bound by the antigen-binding molecule described herein is displayed on the external surface of the cancer cell ( / .e. is extracellular). The cancer cell antigen may be a cancer-associated antigen. In some embodiments the cancer cell antigen is an antigen whose expression is associated with the development, progression or severity of symptoms of a cancer. The cancer- associated antigen may be associated with the cause or pathology of the cancer, or may be expressed abnormally as a consequence of the cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer cell antigen is an antigen whose expression is upregulated (e.g. at the RNA and / or protein level) by cells of a cancer, e.g. as compared to the level of expression by comparable non-cancerous cells (e.g. non-cancerous cells derived from the same tissue / cell type). In some embodiments, the cancer-associated antigen may be preferentially expressed by cancerous cells, and not expressed by comparable non-cancerous cells (e.g. non-cancerous cells derived from the same tissue / cell type). In some embodiments, the cancer- associated antigen may be the product of a mutated oncogene or mutated tumor suppressor gene. In some embodiments, the cancer-associated antigen may be the product of an overexpressed cellular protein, a cancer antigen produced by an oncogenic virus, an oncofetal antigen, or a cell surface glycolipid or glycoprotein.

[0538] In some embodiments, the target antigen is an immune cell surface molecule. An immune cell surface molecule is any molecule which is expressed in or at the cell membrane of an immune cell. In some embodiments, the part of the immune cell surface molecule which is bound by the antigen-binding moiety is on the external surface of the immune cell ( / .e. is extracellular). The immune cell surface molecule may be expressed at the cell surface of any immune cell. In some embodiments, the immune cell may be a cell of hematopoietic origin, e.g. a neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, dendritic cell, lymphocyte, or monocyte.

[0557] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)
[0558] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a cell surface receptor that has a role in regulating the immune response by down-regulating the immune system and promoting self-tolerance by suppressing T cell activity. This down-regulation of the immune system can prevent autoimmune diseases, but it can also prevent the immune system from targeting cancer cells. PD-1 is known to the skilled person, and PD-1 biology and the role of PD-1 in cancer is discussed in Ghosh et al., J Cancer. 2021 ; 12(9): 2735-2746, and Patsoukis et al., Sci Adv. 2020 Sep; 6(38): eabd2712, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0559] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is capable of binding to PD-1 . In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is capable of binding to yc and PD-1 . In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is capable of binding to yc, a polypeptide of a yc-containing cytokine receptor other than yc, and PD-1. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is capable of binding to yc, IL-2R0, and PD-1. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule is capable of binding to yc, IL-21 Ra, and PD-1 .
[0560] PD-1 is an immune-inhibitory receptor that is primarily expressed on activated T and B cells. Interaction with its ligands has been shown to down-regulate T-cell responses. PD-1 has two ligands, programmed death-ligand (PD-L)1 (also called B7-H1 ; CD274) and PD-L2 (also called B7-DC; CD273). PD-L2 has higher affinity for PD-1 , but has more restricted expression than PD-L1. Blockade of the interaction between PD-1 and one of its ligands, PD-L1 , has been shown to enhance tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell immunity and may therefore be helpful in clearance of tumor cells by the immune system.
[0561] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to Human PD-1 may be identified on publically available databases such as UniProt (Q15116), Genbank (AAC41700.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF- Q15116-F1). Human PD-1 (also known as PD1 , and CD279) is the protein identified by UniProt Q15116. The canonical isoform of human PD-1 has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:502. The N- terminal 23 amino acids of SEQ ID NO:502 constitute a signal peptide (SEQ ID NQ:503). The mature form ( / .e. after processing to remove the signal peptide) of human PD-1 protein has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NQ:504. Amino acids 24 to 170 of SEQ ID NQ:502 constitute the extracellular domain of PD-1 , shown in SEQ ID NQ:505. Amino acids 171 to 191 of SEQ ID NQ:502 form a transmembrane domain (SEQ ID NQ:506), and positions 192 to 288 form the cytoplasmic domain (SEQ ID NQ:507).
[0562] In this specification ‘PD-1 ’, ‘PD1 ’ or ‘CD279’ refers to PD-1 from any species and includes isoforms, fragments, variants or homologues of PD-1 from any species. In some embodiments PD-1 is PD-1 from a mammal (e.g. a therian, placental, epitherian, preptotheria, archontan, primate (rhesus, cynomolgous, non-human primate or human)). In some embodiments, PD-1 is human PD-1.
[0563] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to cynomolgous PD-1 may be identified on publically available databases such as UniProt (B0LAJ3), Genbank (NP_001271065.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF-B0LAJ3-F1). The amino acid sequence of the cynomolgous PD-1 extracellular domain has 95.9% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human PD-1 extracellular domain.
[0564] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to rat PD-1 may be identified on publically available databases such as UniProt (A6JR44), and Genbank (EDL91893.1). The amino acid sequence of the rat PD-1 extracellular domain has 66.9% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human PD-1 extracellular domain.
[0565] Sequence, structure and functional information relating to mouse PD-1 may be identified on publically available databases such as UniProt (Q02242), Genbank (CAA48113.1), and PDB / Alpha fold (AF- Q02242-F1). The amino acid sequence of the mouse PD-1 extracellular domain has 62.9% identity to the amino acid sequence of the Human PD-1 extracellular domain. A fragment of PD-1 may have a minimum length of one of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 450 or 500 amino acids, and may have a maximum length of one of 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 260, 270, 280, 281 , 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, or 287 amino acids. An isoform, fragment, variant or homologue of PD-1 may display association with one or more of PD-L1 (CD274), PD-L2 (CD273), or another known ligand or binding partner of PD-1 .
[0566] In some embodiments, the PD-1 has at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:502 or 504. In some embodiments, a fragment of PD-1 comprises, or consists of, an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, preferably one of 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:505.
[0567] The main biological function of PD-1 is to inhibit / down-regulate the activity of immune cells (e.g., T-cells) to limit autoimmunity. PD-1 expression is induced when T-cells are activated, and binding of one of its own ligands inhibits kinases involved in T-cell activation. This can cause immune suppression in the tumour microenvironment, because many tumours contain activated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) which can be inhibited by this PD-1 activity.
[0568] Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1 inhibitors, have shown promising results for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. Although PD-1 inhibitors have been widely used in the treatment of human cancers, tough challenges still remain. The role of PD-1 and application of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in human cancers is discussed by Tang et al., Front Immunol. 2022; 13: 964442, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0569] PD-1 inhibitors work by blocking the interactions of PD-1 with its ligands (e.g., PD-L1). Inhibition of PD- 1 / PD-L1 binding has been shown to enhance antitumor T cell cytotoxicity, proinflammatory cytokine production, and immune cell proliferation. A number of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 Abs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cancer treatment. The first approval was for pembrolizumab in 2014, followed closely by nivolumab (LaFleur et al., J Immunol. 2018 Jan 15; 200(2): 375-383). Additional anti-PD-1 antibodies have been generated and investigated in clinical trials. Based on the immense success in clinical trials, ten anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, sintilimab, camrelizumab, toripalimab, tislelizumab, zimberelimab, prolgolimab, and dostarlimab) antibodies have been approved for the treatment of various types of cancers (Yi et al. (Mol Cancer. 2022; 21 : 28).

Nivolumab is well known to the skilled person, and is reviewed in the literature. For example, nivolumab is discussed by Brahmer et al. (Future Oncol. (2015) 11 (9), 1307-1326), and Mashima et al. (Onco Targets Ther. 2015 Aug 6:8:2045-51), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0572] Pembrolizumab (DrugBank Accession Number: DB09037) is a humanized lgG4 antibody directed against PD-1 . It was generated by grafting the variable sequences of a very high-affinity mouse antihuman PD-1 antibody onto a human lgG4-kappa isotype containing a stabilizing S228P Fc mutation. Pembrolizumab is well known to the skilled person, and is reviewed in the literature. For example, Jazirehi et al. (Am J Cancer Res. 2016 Oct 1 ;6(10):2117-2128), and Khoja et al. (J Immunother Cancer. 2015 Aug 18:3:36), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0679] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule has a pSTAT5 EC50 which is lower than the pSTAT5 ECso of IL-21. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule has a pSTAT5 EC50 which is higher than the pSTAT5 EC50 of IL-21 .
[0680] The concentration of a given agent at which 50% of the maximal level of the relevant activity is attained may be referred to as the ‘half-maximal effective concentration’ of the agent in relation to the relevant activity, which may also be referred to as the ‘EC50’.
[0681] The pSTAT5 EC50 of an agonist (e.g., IL-2 or an antigen-binding molecule) is the concentration of the agonist required to increase pSTAT5 signalling to half ( / .e., 50%) of its maximal value. This can be determined through the use of a cell-based reporter gene assay which enables pSTAT5 signalling to be stimulated and measured (e.g., the assays reported in Example 3 herein).
[0682] In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of an antigen-binding molecule is determined by comparing the pSTAT5 ECso of a human cytokine with the pSTAT5 ECso of the antigen-binding molecule in question, using the following calculation: (pSTAT5 EC50 of human cytokine / ECso of pSTAT5 on the agonist) x 100. In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of an antigen-binding molecule is determined by comparing the pSTAT5 EC50 of human IL-2 with the pSTAT5 ECso of the antigen-binding molecule in question, using the following calculation: (pSTAT5 EC50 of human IL-2 / EC50 of pSTAT5 on the agonist) x 100.
[0683] In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of an antigen-binding molecule is determined by comparing the pSTAT5 EC50 of human IL-21 with the pSTAT5 ECso of the antigen-binding molecule in question, using the following calculation: (pSTAT5 EC50 of human IL-21 / EC50 of pSTAT5 on the agonist) x 100.
[0684] As a first example, an antigen-binding molecule with a pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of 105 has a lower pSTAT5 EC50 than IL-2, and this indicates that this antigen-binding molecule is a stronger agonist than IL-2 (as a lower concentration of the antigen-binding molecule is required to increase pSTAT5 signalling to half ( / .e., 50%) of its maximal value.
[0685] As a second example, an antigen-binding molecule with a pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of 40 has a higher pSTAT5 EC50 than IL-2, and this indicates that this antigen-binding molecule is a weaker agonist than IL-2 (as a higher concentration of the antigen-binding molecule is required to increase pSTAT5 signalling to half ( / .e., 50%) of its maximal value.
[0686] The pSTAT5 EC50 ratio (and the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio) of a given antigen-binding molecule can be determined through the use of a cell-based reporter gene assay (e.g., an assay reported in Example 3 herein).
[0687] In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 of a given antigen-binding molecule is determined using a cellbased reporter gene assay. In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 of a given antigen-binding molecule is determined using the assay described in Example 3 herein.
[0688] In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of a given antigen-binding molecule is determined using a cell-based reporter gene assay. In some embodiments, the pSTAT5 EC50 ratio of a given antigen-binding molecule is determined using the assay described in Example 3 herein.
[0689] It will be understood that the pSTAT5 EC50 of an antigen-binding molecule comprising a yc-binding moiety and an IL-2Rp-binding moiety can be determined through the use of a cell-based reporter gene assay, wherein the cell expresses relevant IL-2 receptor polypeptides (e.g., (a) cells which express IL-2R0 and yc, (b) cells which express IL-2Ra, IL-2R0, and yc, or (c) or cells which express IL-2R0, IL-15Ra and yc). In some embodiments, the cells utilised in the cell-based reporter gene assay are cells which express IL- 2Rp and yc. In some embodiments, the cells utilised in the cell-based reporter gene assay are cells which express IL-2Ra, IL-2R0, and yc. In some embodiments, the cells utilised in the cell-based reporter gene assay are cells which express IL-2R0, IL-15Ra and yc.
