[0002] The immune system is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including but not limited to cancer, autoimmune diseases, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, the immune system can be harnessed to treat various diseases or can be targeted to reverse disease pathogenesis. The ability to harness the immune system for therapeutic purposes has been tenuous in the field of medicine as there is a delicate balancing act of maintaining both pro-inflammatory function and anti-inflammatory function of the immune system while still targeting the root cause of the disease. Antibody-based therapeutics have been used successfully to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer and autoimmune / inflammatory disorders. Yet improvements to this class of drugs are still needed, particularly with respect to enhancing their clinical efficacy.BRIEF SUMMARY

[0116] All definitions, as defined and used herein, should be understood to control over dictionary definitions, definitions in documents incorporated by reference, and / or ordinary meanings of the defined terms.
[0117] The indefinite articles “a” and “an,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims, unless clearly indicated to the contrary, should be understood to mean “at least one.”
[0118] The phrase “and / or,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims, should be understood to mean “either or both” of the elements so conjoined, i.e., elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with “and / or” should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., “one or more” of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the “and / or” clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to “A and / or B”, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as “comprising” can refer, in one embodiment, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc.Attorney Docket No. 199830-740601
[0119] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, “or” should be understood to have the same meaning as “and / or” as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, “or” or “and / or” shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as “only one of’ or “exactly one of,” or, when used in the claims, “consisting of,” will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term “or” as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e., “one or the other but not both”) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as “either,” “one of,” “only one of,” or “exactly one of.” “Consisting essentially of,” when used in the claims, shall have its ordinary meaning as used in the field of patent law.
[0120] As used herein, “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described circumstance may or may not occur, so that the description includes instances where the circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
[0121] As used herein, the term “about” or “approximately” means a range of up to ± 20 % of a given value. Where particular values are described in the application and claims, unless otherwise stated, the term “about” is implicit and in this context means within an acceptable error range for the particular value.
[0122] The term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired effect.
[0123] The term "antibody fragments" and its grammatical equivalents as used herein refers to a portion of an intact antibody. For example, the antigen binding or variable region of the intact antibody.
[0124] The term "binding" and its grammatical equivalents as used herein refers to a direct association between two molecules, due to, for example, covalent, electrostatic, hydrophobic, ionic and / or hydrogen-bond interactions, including interactions such as salt bridges and water bridges. In some cases, the first member of a specific binding pair present on the proteins provided herein binds specifically to a second member of the specific binding pair, such as a receptor on a surface of a cell. "Specific binding" refers to binding with an affinity of at least about 10'7M or greater. "Non-specific binding" refers to binding with an affinity of less than about 10'7M.
[0125] The term “expression” and its grammatical equivalents as used herein refers to the biosynthesis of a gene product. For example, in the case of a structural gene, expression involves transcription of the structural gene into mRNA and the translation of mRNA into one or more polypeptides.
[0126] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term “antibody” is understood to mean an intact antibody (e.g., an intact monoclonal antibody), or a fragment thereof, such as a Fc fragment ofAttorney Docket No. 199830-740601 an antibody (e.g., an Fc fragment of a monoclonal antibody), or an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a monoclonal antibody), including an intact antibody, antigen-binding fragment, or Fc fragment that has been modified, engineered, or chemically conjugated. In general, antibodies are multimeric proteins that contain four polypeptide chains. Two of the polypeptide chains are called immunoglobulin heavy chains (H chains), and two of the polypeptide chains are called immunoglobulin light chains (L chains). The immunoglobulin heavy and light chains are connected by an interchain disulfide bond. The immunoglobulin heavy chains are connected by interchain disulfide bonds. A light chain consists of one variable region (VL) and one constant region (CL). The heavy chain consists of one variable region (VH) and at least three constant regions (CHI, CH2 and CH3). The variable regions determine the binding specificity of the antibody. Each variable region contains three hypervariable regions known as complementarity determining regions (CDRs) flanked by four relatively conserved regions known as framework regions (FRs). The extent of the FRs and CDRs has been defined (Kabat, E.A., et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NTH Publication No. 91-3242; and Chothia, C. et al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917). The three CDRs, referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, contribute to the antibody binding specificity. Naturally occurring antibodies have been used as starting material for engineered antibodies, such as chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies. Examples of antibody-based antigen-binding fragments include Fab, Fab’, (Fab’)2, Fv, single chain antibodies (e.g., scFv), minibodies, and diabodies. Examples of antibodies that have been modified or engineered include chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies, or tetraspecific antibodies).
[0127] The terms “variable domain” and “variable region” are used interchangeably and refer to the portions of the antibody or immunoglobulin domains that exhibit variability in their sequence and that are involved in determining the specificity and binding affinity of a particular antibody. Variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domains of antibodies; it is concentrated in sub-domains of each of the heavy and light chain variable regions. These sub-domains are called “hypervariable regions” or “complementarity determining regions” (CDRs). The more conserved (i.e., nonhypervariable) portions of the variable domains are called the “framework” regions (FRM or FR) and provide a scaffold for the six CDRs in three-dimensional space to form an antigen-binding surface.
[0128] An “Fc polypeptide” of a dimeric Fc as used herein refers to one of the two polypeptides forming the dimeric Fc domain, i.e., a polypeptide comprising C-terminal constant regions of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, capable of stable self-association. For example, an Fc polypeptide of a dimeric IgG Fc comprises an IgG CH2 and an IgG CH3 constant domain sequence. An Fc can be ofAttorney Docket No. 199830-740601 the class IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. These classes are also designated a, 5, s, y, and p, respectively. Several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgA2.
[0129] The terms “Fc receptor” and “FcR” are used to describe a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. For example, an FcR can be a native human FcR. Generally, an FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (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. Immunoglobulins of other isotypes can also be bound by certain FcRs. FcRs are reviewed, for example, in de Haas et al., J. Lab. Clin. Med. 126:330-41 (1995).
[0130] The terms “VHH” or “nanobody” and their grammatical equivalents are used interchangeably herein to refer to a single variable domain heavy chain antibody.
[0131] Percent (%) sequence identity for a given sequence relative to a reference sequence is defined as the percentage of identical residues identified after aligning the two sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Percent identity can be calculated using alignment methods known in the art, for instance alignment of the sequences can be conducted using publicly available software such as BLAST, Align, ClustalW2. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate parameters for alignment, but the default parameters for BLAST are specifically contemplated.(1) CD-40 Targeting Moieties.
