[0007] INTRODUCTION
[0008] The presently disclosed subject matter provides novel T cell receptors (TCRs) that target mutated RAS proto-oncogenes. The presently disclosed subject matter further provides cells comprising such TCRs, and methods of using such cells for treating cancers associated with mutated RAS.
[0009] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Cell-based immunotherapy is a therapy with curative potential for treating cancers. Immunoresponsive cells (e.g., T cells) may be modified to target tumor antigens through the introduction of genetic material coding for TCRs specific to selected antigens. Targeted T cell therapy using specific TCRs has shown clinical success in treating diverse solid and hematologic malignancies.
[0011] Collectively, the RAS proteins are the most mutated family of oncoproteins in human cancer. Patients with oncogenic mutations encoding a RAS protein (e.g., KRAS, NRAS, and FIRAS) typically respond poorly to standard therapies. Activating oncogenic RAS mutations are frequently observed at residue positions 12, 13, and 61 in cancer patients. Among these, G12 is the most frequently mutated residue (89%) and it most often mutates to aspartate (G12D), valine (G12V), or cysteine (G12C). Accordingly, there are needs for novel therapeutic strategies to identify TCRs targeting epitopes derived from mutated RAS proteins. Further, there is unmet need for developing strategies capable of inducing potent cancer eradication with minimal toxicity and immunogenicity. 072734.1889

[0241] 1. Definitions
[0242] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. The following references provide one of skill with a general definition of many of the terms used in this invention: Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology (2nd ed. 1994); The Cambridge Dictionary of Science and Technology (Walker ed., 1988); The Glossary of Genetics, 5th Ed., R. Rieger et al. (eds.), Springer Verlag (1991); and Hale & Marham, The Harper Collins Dictionary of Biology (1991).
[0243] As used herein, the term “about” or “approximately” means within an acceptable error range for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, / .<., the limitations of the 072734.1889
[0244] PATENT
[0245] measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within 3 or more than 3 standard deviations, per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 20%, preferably up to 10%, more preferably up to 5%, and more preferably still up to 1% of a given value. Alternatively, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the term can mean within an order of magnitude, preferably within 5-fold, and more preferably within 2-fold, of a value.
[0246] As used herein, the term “cell population” refers to a group of at least two cells expressing similar or different phenotypes. In non-limiting examples, a cell population can include at least about 10, at least about 100, at least about 200, at least about 300, at least about 400, at least about 500, at least about 600, at least about 700, at least about 800, at least about 900, at least about 1000 cells expressing similar or different phenotypes.
[0247] As used herein, the term “vector” refers to any genetic element, such as a plasmid (e.g., a plasmid having a small backbone of less than about 500 base pairs, such as a Nanoplasmid™ vector system), phage, transposon, cosmid, chromosome, virus, virion, etc., which is capable of replication when associated with the proper control elements and which can transfer gene sequences into cells. Thus, the term includes cloning and expression vehicles, as well as viral vectors and plasmid vectors.
[0248] As used herein, the term “expression vector” refers to a recombinant nucleic acid sequence, e.g., a recombinant DNA molecule, containing a desired coding sequence and appropriate nucleic acid sequences necessary for the expression of the operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. Nucleic acid sequences necessary for expression in prokaryotes usually include a promoter, an operator (optional), and a ribosome binding site, often along with other sequences. Eukaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, enhancers, and termination and polyadenylation signals.
[0249] As used herein, “CDRs” are defined as the complementarity determining region amino acid sequences of a TCR, which are the hypervariable regions of TCR a-chain and P-chain. Generally, a TCR comprises three CDRs in the a-chain variable region and three CDRs in the P-chain variable region. CDRs provide the majority of contact residues for the binding of the TCR to the antigen or epitope. CDRs regions can be delineated using the Kabat system (Kabat, E. A., et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242), the Chothia numbering system (Chothia et al., J Mol Biol. (1987) 196:901-17), the AbM numbering system (Abhinandan et al., Mol. Immunol. 2008, 45, 3832-3839), or the IMGT numbering system 072734.1889
[0250] PATENT
[0251] (Lefranc, Frontiers in immunology 5 (2014): 22). In certain embodiments, the CDRs regions are delineated using the IMGT numbering system.
[0252] The terms “substantially homologous” or “substantially identical” mean a polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule that exhibits at least 50% homology or identity to a reference amino acid sequence (for example, any one of the amino acid sequences described herein) or nucleic acid sequence (for example, any one of the nucleic acid sequences described herein). For example, such a sequence is at least about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95% or even about 99% homologous or identical at the amino acid level or nucleic acid to the sequence used for comparison.
[0253] Sequence homology or sequence identity is typically measured using sequence analysis software (for example, Sequence Analysis Software Package of the Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center, 1710 University Avenue, Madison, Wis.
[0254] 53705, BLAST, BESTFIT, GAP, or PILEUP / PRETTYBOX programs). Such software matches identical or similar sequences by assigning degrees of homology to various substitutions, deletions, and / or other modifications. In an exemplary approach to determining the degree of identity, a BLAST program may be used, with a probability score between e'3ande'100indicating a closely related sequence.
[0255] As used herein, the percent homology between two amino acid sequences is equivalent to the percent identity between the two sequences. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences ( / .<., % homology = # of identical positions / total # of positions x 100), taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm.
[0256] The percent homology between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller (Comput. Appl. Biosci., 4:11-17 (1988)) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4. In addition, the percent homology between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (J. Mol. Biol.
[0257] 48:444-453 (1970)) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0258] Additionally or alternatively, the amino acids sequences of the presently disclosed subject matter can further be used as a “query sequence” to perform a search against public 072734.1889
[0259] PATENT
[0260] databases to, for example, identify related sequences. Such searches can be performed using theXBLAST program (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score = 50, wordlength = 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the specified sequences disclosed herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25(17):3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used.
[0261] As used herein, the term “a conservative sequence modification” refers to an amino acid modification that does not significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of the presently disclosed TCR comprising the amino acid sequence. Conservative modifications can include amino acid substitutions, additions and deletions. Amino acids can be classified into groups according to their physicochemical properties such as charge and polarity. Conservative amino acid substitutions are ones in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid within the same group. For example, amino acids can be classified by charge: positively-charged amino acids include lysine, arginine, histidine, negatively-charged amino acids include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, neutral charge amino acids include alanine, asparagine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. In addition, amino acids can be classified by polarity: polar amino acids include arginine (basic polar), asparagine, aspartic acid (acidic polar), glutamic acid (acidic polar), glutamine, histidine (basic polar), lysine (basic polar), serine, threonine, and tyrosine; non-polar amino acids include alanine, cysteine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, and valine. Thus, one or more amino acid residues within a CDR region can be replaced with other amino acid residues from the same group and the altered TCR can be tested for retained function ( / .<., the functions set forth in (c) through (1) above) using the functional assays described herein. In certain embodiments, no more than one, no more than two, no more than three, no more than four, no more than five residues within a specified sequence or a CDR region are altered.
[0262] As used herein, the term “disease” refers to any condition or disorder that damages or interferes with the normal function of a cell, tissue, or organ. Examples of diseases include neoplasm or pathogen infection of a cell.
[0263] An “effective amount” (or “therapeutically effective amount”) is an amount sufficient to affect a beneficial or desired clinical result upon treatment. An effective amount can be administered to a subject in one or more doses. In terms of treatment, an effective amount is 072734.1889
[0264] PATENT
[0265] an amount that is sufficient to palliate, ameliorate, stabilize, reverse or slow the progression of the disease (e.g., a tumor), prevent or delay the recurrence of a tumor, or otherwise reduce the pathological consequences of the disease (e.g., a tumor). The effective amount is generally determined by the physician on a case-by-case basis and is within the skill of one in the art. Several factors are typically taken into account when determining an appropriate dosage to achieve an effective amount. These factors include age, sex and weight of the subject, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition and the form and effective concentration of the immunoresponsive cells administered.
[0266] As used herein, the term “tumor” refers to an abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors include benign tumors and malignant tumors (known as “cancers”). Benign tumors may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body. Malignant tumors can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. They can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. Tumor is also called neoplasm. In certain embodiments, the tumor is cancer.
[0267] As used herein, the term “immunoresponsive cell” refers to a cell that functions in an immune response or a progenitor, or progeny thereof.
[0268] As used herein, the term “modulate” refers to positively or negatively alter. Exemplary modulations include an about 1%, about 2%, about 5%, about 10%, about 25%, about 50%, about 75%, or about 100% change.
[0269] As used herein, the term “increase” refers to alter positively by at least about 5%, including, but not limited to, alter positively by about 5%, by about 10%, by about 25%, by about 30%, by about 50%, by about 75%, or by about 100%.
[0270] As used herein, the term “reduce” refers to alter negatively by at least about 5% including, but not limited to, alter negatively by about 5%, by about 10%, by about 25%, by about 30%, by about 50%, by about 75%, or by about 100%.
[0271] As used herein, the term “isolated,” “purified,” or “biologically pure” refers to material that is free to varying degrees from components which normally accompany it as found in its native state. “Isolate” denotes a degree of separation from original source or surroundings. “Purify” denotes a degree of separation that is higher than isolation. A “purified” or “biologically pure” protein is sufficiently free of other materials such that any impurities do not materially affect the biological properties of the protein or cause other adverse consequences. That is, a nucleic acid or polypeptide of the presently disclosed subject matter is purified if it is substantially free of cellular material, viral material, or culture medium when 072734.1889
[0272] PATENT
[0273] produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. Purity and homogeneity are typically determined using analytical chemistry techniques, for example, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography. The term “purified” can denote that a nucleic acid or protein gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel. For a protein that can be subjected to modifications, for example, phosphorylation or glycosylation, different modifications may give rise to different isolated proteins, which can be separately purified.
[0274] As used herein, the term “isolated cell” refers to a cell that is separated from the molecular and / or cellular components that naturally accompany the cell.
[0275] As used herein, the term “treating” or “treatment” refers to clinical intervention in an attempt to alter the disease course of the individual or cell being treated, and can be performed either for prophylaxis or during the course of clinical pathology. Therapeutic effects of treatment include, without limitation, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastases, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. By preventing progression of a disease or disorder, a treatment can prevent deterioration due to a disorder in an affected or diagnosed subject or a subject suspected of having the disorder, but also a treatment may prevent the onset of the disorder or a symptom of the disorder in a subj ect at risk for the disorder or suspected of having the disorder.
[0276] An “individual” or “subject” herein is a vertebrate, such as a human or non-human animal, for example, a mammal. Mammals include, but are not limited to, humans, primates, farm animals, sport animals, rodents and pets. Non-limiting examples of non-human animal subjects include rodents such as mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, goats, cattle, horses; and non-human primates such as apes and monkeys.
[0277] As used herein, the terms “recombinant T cell receptor” or “recombinant TCR” refer to a T cell receptor that is produced by genetic engineering (i.e., recombinant DNA technology). In certain embodiments, the term “recombinant TCR” includes TCRs that are expressed in a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell that contains a cloning vector or expression vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding the TCR. In certain embodiments, a recombinant T cell receptor refers to a T cell receptor that is prepared, expressed, generated, and / or isolated using recombinant technologies. Methods and procedures to prepare, express, generate, and / or isolate recombinant TCR are known in the art. 072734.1889
[0278] PATENT
[0279] As used herein, the term “neoantigens” or “NeoAgs” refers to peptides derived from the protein products of mutations found in a patient and presented by a patient’s complement of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules. As used herein, the term “public neoantigen” refers to neoantigen derived from a common hotspot mutation seen in multiple patients as opposed to a “private neoantigen” which is exclusive to an individual patient.
[0280] 2. RAS
[0281] RAS is a family of oncoproteins encoding small GTPases involved in regulating cell growth, differentiation and survival of cells. In humans, the RAS family includes HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS. The KRAS gene has two splice variants, KRAS4A and KRAS4B. The expression of all isoforms is nearly ubiquitous, although they show quantitative and qualitative differences in expression depending on the tissue and / or developmental stage.
[0282] RAS proteins contain two domains: a G domain that binds guanosine nucleotides, and a C-terminal hypervariable region. The G domain is highly conserved between HRAS, NRAS, KRAS4A and KRAS4B and is responsible for binding and hydrolysis of guanine nucleotides. The hypervariable regions undergo differential post-translational modifications that in turn direct isoform-specific subcellular organization. RAS proteins act as binary molecular switches and cycle between an inactive GDP -bound and active GTP-bound state. Upon activation, RAS proteins recruit and activate proteins like c-Raf and PI3 -kinase that result in cell proliferation, migration and protection from apoptosis.
[0283] RAS mutations play a critical role in driving some of the most common and deadly carcinomas, including pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancers, among numerous others. As illustrated in Figure 1, the conserved G domain includes several locations for hotspot mutations including G12, G13, and Q61. The most frequent mutations of RAS genes occur at codon 12 (i.e., G12A / C / D / F / L / R / S / V), which accounts for 98% of RAS mutations. Across cancers, one of the most common RAS mutations is G12V, which is a single point mutation with a glycine-to-valine substitution at codon 12.
[0284] 3. T-cell receptor (TCR)
[0285] A TCR is a disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein consisting of two variable chains expressed as part of a non-covalent complex with the invariant CD3 chain molecules (CD36, CD3s, CD3y, CD3Q. A TCR is found on the surface of T cells, and is responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. In certain embodiments, a TCR comprises an a chain and a P chain (encoded by TRA and TRB, 072734.1889
[0286] PATENT
[0287] respectively). In certain embodiments, a TCR comprises a y chain and a 6 chain (encoded by TRG and TRD, respectively).
[0288] Each chain of a TCR comprises two extracellular domains: a variable region and a constant region. The constant region is proximal to the cell membrane, followed by a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail (i.e., an intracellular domain). The variable region binds to the peptide / MHC complex. The variable region of both chains each has three complementarity determining regions (CDRs).
[0289] In certain embodiments, a TCR can form a receptor complex with three dimeric signaling modules CD36 / s, CD3y / s and CD247
[0290]
[0291] or C / r|. When a TCR complex engages with its cognate peptide antigen / MHC (peptide / MHC), the T cell expressing the TCR complex is activated.

[0720] 3.4. Bispecific molecules
[0721] The presently disclosed subject matter provides bispecific molecules comprising a presently disclosed TCR (or a functional fragment thereof). A presently disclosed TCR or a functional fragment thereof can be derivatized or linked to another functional molecule, e.g, another peptide or protein (e.g, another antibody or ligand for a receptor) to generate a bispecific molecule that binds to at least two different binding sites or target molecules. The presently disclosed TCR or a functional fragment thereof can in fact be derivatized or linked to more than one other functional molecule to generate multi-specific molecules that bind to more than two different binding sites and / or target molecules; such multi-specific molecules are also intended to be encompassed by the term “bispecific molecule” as used herein. To create a bispecific molecule, a presently disclosed TCR or a functional fragment thereof can be functionally linked (e.g., by chemical coupling, genetic fusion, noncovalent association or otherwise) to one or more other binding molecules, such as another antibody, antibody fragment, peptide or binding mimetic.
[0722] The presently disclosed subject matter provides bispecific molecules comprising at least a first binding specificity for a mutant RAS peptide and a second binding specificity for a second target peptide region. The second target epitope region can be a second RAS peptide, or a non-RAS peptide, e.g., a different antigen. In certain embodiments, the bispecific molecule is multi-specific, e.g., the molecule can further include a third binding specificity. Where a first portion of a bispecific molecule, e.g., antibody, binds to an antigen on a tumor cell, for example, and a second portion of a bispecific molecule recognizes an antigen on the surface of 072734.1889
[0723] PATENT
[0724] a human immune effector cell, the bispecific molecule is capable of recruiting the activity of that effector cell by specifically binding to the effector antigen on the human immune effector cell. In certain embodiments, bispecific molecules are able to form a link between effector cells, for example, T cells and tumor cells, thereby enhancing effector function. In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed bispecific molecule comprises at least a first binding to a mutant RAS peptide and at least a second binding to an immune cell or a molecule associated with an immune cell.
[0725] In certain embodiments, the presently disclosed bispecific molecules include a second specificity that binds to an immunoresponsive cell. In certain embodiments, the immune responsive cell is a T cell. In certain embodiments, the second specificity binds to a surface molecule of a T cell. In certain embodiments, the second specificity binds to CD3, CD28, CD137, ICOS, CD4, CD8, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the immune responsive cell is an NK cell. In certain embodiments, the second specificity binds to a surface molecule of an NK cell. In certain embodiments, the second specificity binds to CD16, CD335, NKp80, NKG2D, or a combination thereof.
[0726] The bispecific molecules of the presently disclosed subject matter can be prepared by conjugating the constituent binding specificities using methods known in the art. For example, each binding specificity of the bispecific molecule can be generated separately and then conjugated to one another. When the binding specificities are proteins or peptides, a variety of coupling or cross-linking agents can be used for covalent conjugation. Non-limiting examples of cross-linking agents include protein A, carbodiimide, N-succinimidyl-S-acetyl-thioacetate (SATA), 5, 5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), o-phenylenedimaleimide (oPDM), N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP), and sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohaxane-1 -carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC) (see e.g., Karpovsky et al. (1984) J. Exp. Med. 160:1686; Liu, MA et al. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:8648). Other methods include those described in Paulus (1985) Behring Ins. Mitt. No. 78, 118-132; Brennan et al. (1985) Science 229:81-83), and Glennie et al. (1987) J. Immunol. 139: 2367-2375). Conjugating agents can be SATA and sulfo-SMCC, both available from Pierce Chemical Co. (Rockford, IL).
[0727] When the binding specificities are antibodies, they can be conjugated via sulfhydryl bonding of the C-terminus hinge regions of the two heavy chains. In certain embodiments, the hinge region is modified to contain an odd number of sulfhydryl residues, preferably one, prior to conjugation. 072734.1889
[0728] PATENT
[0729] Alternatively, both binding specificities can be encoded in the same vector and expressed and assembled in the same host cell. This method is particularly useful where the bispecific molecule is a mAb and a mAb, a mAb and a Fab, a Fab and a F(ab’)2, or a ligand and a Fab fusion protein.
[0730] Binding of the bispecific molecules to their specific targets can be confirmed by, for example, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), FACS analysis, bioassay (e.g., growth inhibition), or Western Blot assay. Each of these assays generally detects the presence of protein-antibody complexes of particular interest by employing a labeled reagent (e.g., an antibody) specific for the complex of interest. Alternatively, the complexes can be detected using any of a variety of other immunoassays. For example, the antibody can be radioactively labeled and used in a radioimmunoassay (RIA) (see, for example, Weintraub, B., Principles of Radioimmunoassays, Seventh Training Course on Radioligand Assay Techniques, The Endocrine Society, March, 1986, which is incorporated by reference herein). The radioactive isotope can be detected by such means as the use of a y counter or a scintillation counter or by autoradiography.
[0731] 4. Cells
[0732] The presently disclosed subject matter provides cells comprising a presently disclosed TCR (e.g., one disclosed in Section 3). In certain embodiments, the cell is selected from the group consisting of cells of lymphoid lineage, cells of myeloid lineage, stem cells from which cells of lymphoid lineage can be derived, and stem cells from which cells of myeloid lineage can be derived. In certain embodiments, the cell is an immunoresponsive cell. In certain embodiments, the immunoresponsive cell is a cell of lymphoid lineage.
[0733] In certain embodiments, the cell is a cell of the lymphoid lineage. Cells of the lymphoid lineage can provide production of antibodies, regulation of cellular immune system, detection of foreign agents in the blood, detection of cells foreign to the host, and the like. Non-limiting examples of cells of the lymphoid lineage include T cells and / or stem cells from which lymphoid cells may be differentiated. In certain embodiments, the stem cell is a pluripotent stem cell (e.g., embryonic stem cell).
[0734] In certain embodiments, the cell is a T cell. T cells can be lymphocytes that mature in the thymus and are chiefly responsible for cell-mediated immunity. T cells are involved in the adaptive immune system. The T cells of the presently disclosed subject matter can be any type of T cells, including, but not limited to, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, memory T cells (including central memory T cells, stem-cell-like memory T cells (or stem-like memory T cells), and two types of effector memory T cells: e.g., TEM cells and TEMRA cells, Regulatory 072734.1889
[0735] PATENT
[0736] T cells (also known as suppressor T cells), tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL), Natural killer T cells, Mucosal associated invariant T cells, and 76 T cells. Cytotoxic T cells (CTL or killer T cells) are a subset of T lymphocytes capable of inducing the death of infected somatic or tumor cells. A patient’s own T cells may be genetically modified to target specific antigens through the introduction of an antigen-recognizing receptor, e.g., a presently disclosed TCR. In certain embodiments, the immunoresponsive cell is a T cell. The T cell can be a CD4+T cell or a CD8+T cell. In certain embodiments, the T cell is a CD4+T cell. In certain embodiments, the T cell is a CD8+T cell. In certain embodiments, the TCR-expressing T cells express Foxp3 to achieve and maintain a T regulatory phenotype.
[0737] In certain embodiments, the T cell is a NK-T cell. Natural killer (NK) T cells can be lymphocytes that are part of cell-mediated immunity and act during the innate immune response. NK-T cells do not require prior activation in order to perform their cytotoxic effect on target cells.
[0738] In certain embodiments, the cell is a Natural Killer (NK) cell. NK cells constitute the predominant innate lymphocyte subset that physiologically mediates the anti-viral and antitumor immune responses. NK cells use an array of innate receptors to sense their environment and to respond to infections, cellular stress, and transformation. The resulting NK cell activation, including cytotoxicity and cytokine production, is a fundamental component of the early immune response. Types of human lymphocytes of the presently disclosed subject matter include, without limitation, peripheral donor lymphocytes, e.g., those disclosed in Sadelain et al., Nat Rev Cancer (2003); 3:35-45 (disclosing peripheral donor lymphocytes genetically modified to express CARs), in Morgan, R. A., et al. 2006 Science 314:126-129 (disclosing peripheral donor lymphocytes genetically modified to express a full-length tumor antigenrecognizing T cell receptor complex comprising the a and P heterodimer), in Panelli et al., J Immunol (2000); 164:495-504; Panelli et al., J Immunol (2000); 164:4382-4392 (disclosing lymphocyte cultures derived from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in tumor biopsies), and in Dupont et al., Cancer Res (2005);65:5417-5427; Papanicolaou et al., Blood (2003); 102:2498-2505 (disclosing selectively in vitro-expanded antigen-specific peripheral blood leukocytes employing artificial antigen-presenting cells (AAPCs) or pulsed dendritic cells).
[0739] The cells (e.g., T cells) can be autologous, non-autologous (e.g., allogeneic), or derived in vitro from engineered progenitor or stem cells. 072734.1889
[0740] PATENT

Non-limiting examples of cells of the myeloid lineage include monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, mast cell, erythrocyte, thrombocytes, and stem cells from which myeloid cells may be differentiated. In certain embodiments, the stem cell is a pluripotent stem cell (e.g., an embryonic stem cell or an induced pluripotent stem cell).
[0742] In certain embodiments, the cell further comprises at least one recombinant or exogenous co-receptor. For example, a presently disclosed cell can be further transduced with at least one co-receptor, such that the cell co-expresses or is induced to co-express the presently disclosed TCR and the at least one co-receptor. The interaction between the presently disclosed TCR and at least one co-receptor with the MHC complex of the target cell (e.g., tumor cells expressing TP53) improves the antigen-specific signal required for full activation of an immunoresponsive cell (e.g., T cell).
[0743] In certain embodiments, the co-receptor is a CD8 co-receptor. In certain embodiments, the CD8 co-receptor comprises an a chain and a P chain.

[0752] In certain embodiments, cell further comprises at least one recombinant or exogenous co-stimulatory ligand. For example, a presently disclosed cell can be further transduced with at least one co-stimulatory ligand, such that the cell co-expresses or is induced to co-express the presently disclosed TCR and the at least one co-stimulatory ligand. The interaction between the presently disclosed TCR and at least one co-stimulatory ligand provides a non-antigen-specific signal important for full activation of an immunoresponsive cell (e.g., T cell). Co-stimulatory ligands include, but are not limited to, members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, and immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily ligands. TNF is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and stimulates the acute phase reaction. Its primary role is in the regulation of immune cells. Members of TNF superfamily share a number of common features. The majority of TNF superfamily members are synthesized as type II transmembrane proteins (extracellular C-terminus) containing a short cytoplasmic segment and a relatively long 072734.1889
[0753] PATENT
[0754] extracellular region. TNF superfamily members include, without limitation, nerve growth factor (NGF), CD40L (CD40L) / CD154, CD137L / 4-1BBL, TNF-a, CD134L / OX40L / CD252, CD27L / CD70, Fas ligand (FasL), CD30L / CD153, tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-P) / lymphotoxin-alpha (LTa), lymphotoxin-beta (LTP), CD257 / B cell-activating factor (BAFF) / Blys / THANK / Tall-1, glucocorticoid-induced TNF Receptor ligand (GITRL), and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), LIGHT (TNFSF14). The immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily is a large group of cell surface and soluble proteins that are involved in the recognition, binding, or adhesion processes of cells. These proteins share structural features with immunoglobulins - they possess an immunoglobulin domain (fold). Immunoglobulin superfamily ligands include, but are not limited to, CD80 and CD86, both ligands for CD28, PD-L1 / (B7-H1) that ligands for PD-1. In certain embodiments, the at least one co-stimulatory ligand is selected from the group consisting of 4-1BBL, CD80, CD86, CD70, OX40L, CD48, TNFRSF14, PD-L1, and combinations thereof.

In certain embodiments, the cell comprises two recombinant co-stimulatory ligands that are 4-1BBL and CD80.
[0755] In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed cell further comprises at least one exogenous cytokine. For example, a presently disclosed cell can be further transduced with at least one cytokine, such that the cell secretes the at least one cytokine as well as expresses the presently disclosed TCR. In certain embodiments, the at least one cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-2, IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, and IL-21. In certain embodiments, the cytokine is IL-12.
[0756] 5. Nucleic Acids and Genetic Modifications of Cells
[0757] The present disclosed subject matter provides a nucleic acid encoding a presently disclosed TCR (e.g., one disclosed in Section 3). Further provided are cells comprising a vector comprising such nucleic acids. In certain embodiments, a promoter is operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding a presently disclosed TCR.
[0758] In certain embodiments, the promoter is endogenous or exogenous. In certain embodiments, the exogenous promoter is selected from the group consisting of a long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, an elongation factor (EF)-l promoter, a cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter (CMV) promoter, a simian virus 40 early promoter (SV40) promoter, a phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter, and a metallothionein promoter. In certain embodiment, the exogenous promoter is a LTR promoter. In certain embodiments, the promoter is an inducible promoter. In certain embodiment, the inducible promoter is selected 072734.1889
[0759] PATENT
[0760] from the group consisting of a NF AT transcriptional response element (TRE) promoter, a CD69 promoter, a CD25 promoter, and an IL-2 promoter.
[0761] In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes both the a chain and the P chain of a presently disclosed TCR. In certain embodiments, the a chain and the P chain are separated by a self-cleavage peptide, e.g., a 2A-peptide. In certain embodiments, the a chain and the P chain are separated by a furin-2A-peptide. In certain embodiments, the peptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 61. SEQ ID NO: 61 is provided below:
[0762] RAKRSGSGATNFSLLKQAGDVEENPGP [SEQ ID NO: 61 ]
[0763] In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide comprising an a chain and a P chain of one of the presently disclosed TCRs. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide further comprises a self-cleavable peptide (e.g., a self-cleavable peptide set forth in SEQ ID NO: 61).
[0764] In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes a functional portion / fragment of a presently disclosed TCR. As used herein, the term “functional portion” or “functional fragment” refers to any portion, part or fragment of a presently disclosed TCR, which portion, part or fragment retains the biological activity of the TCR (the parent TCR). For example, functional portions encompass the portions, parts, or fragments of a presently disclosed TCR that retain the ability to recognize the RAS peptide (e.g., a RAS peptide comprising a G12V mutation) to a similar, same, or even a higher extent as the parent TCR. In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding a functional portion of a presently disclosed TCR encodes a protein comprising, e.g., about 10%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, and about 95%, or more of the parent TCR.
[0765] Genetic modification of a cell (e.g., a T cell) can be accomplished by transducing a substantially homogeneous cell composition with a recombinant DNA or RNA construct. In certain embodiments, a retroviral vector (e.g., gamma-retroviral vector or lentiviral vector) is employed for the introduction of the DNA or RNA construct into the cell. For example, a polynucleotide encoding a presently disclosed TCR can be cloned into a retroviral vector and expression can be driven from its endogenous promoter, from the retroviral long terminal repeat, or from an alternative internal promoter, or from a promoter specific for a target cell type of interest. Non-viral vectors or RNA may be used as well. Random chromosomal integration, or targeted integration (e.g., using a nuclease, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), and / or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), or transgene expression (e.g., using a natural or 072734.1889
[0766] PATENT
[0767] chemically modified RNA) can be used. For initial genetic modification of a cell to include a presently disclosed TCR, a retroviral vector can be employed for transduction, however any other suitable viral vector or non-viral delivery system can be used. The TCR can be constructed in a single, multicistronic expression cassette, in multiple expression cassettes of a single vector, or in multiple vectors. Examples of elements that create polycistronic expression cassette include, but is not limited to, various viral and non-viral Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRES, e.g., FGF-1 IRES, FGF-2 IRES, VEGF IRES, IGF-II IRES, NF-KB IRES, RUNX1 IRES, p53 IRES, hepatitis A IRES, hepatitis C IRES, pestivirus IRES, aphthovirus IRES, picornavirus IRES, poliovirus IRES and encephalomyocarditis virus IRES) and cleavable linkers (e.g., 2 A peptides, e.g., P2A, T2A, E2A and F2A peptides). Combinations of retroviral vector and an appropriate packaging line are also suitable, where the capsid proteins will be functional for infecting human cells. Various amphotropic virus-producing cell lines are known, including, but not limited to, PA12 (Miller et al., (1985) Mol Cell Biol (1985);5:431-437); PA317 (Miller., et al., Mol Cell Biol (1986); 6:2895-2902); and CRIP (Danos et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1988);85:6460-6464). Non-amphotropic particles are suitable too, e.g., particles pseudotyped with VSVG, RD114 or GALV envelope and any other known in the art.
[0768] Possible methods of transduction also include direct co-culture of the cells with producer cells (Bregni et al., Blood (1992);80: 1418-1422), or culturing with viral supernatant alone or concentrated vector stocks with or without appropriate growth factors and polycations (Xu etal., Exp Hemat (1994); 22:223-230; and Hughes et al. J Clin Invest (1992); 89:1817).
[0769] Other transducing viral vectors can be used to modify a cell. In certain embodiments, the chosen vector exhibits high efficiency of infection and stable integration and expression (see, e.g., Cayouette et al., Human Gene Therapy 8:423-430, 1997; Kido et al., Current Eye Research 15:833-844, 1996; Bloomer et al., Journal of Virology 71:6641-6649, 1997; Naldini et al., Science 272:263-267, 1996; and Miyoshi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94:10319, 1997). Other viral vectors that can be used include, for example, adenoviral, lentiviral, and adeno-associated viral vectors, vaccinia virus, a bovine papilloma virus, or a herpes virus, such as Epstein-Barr Virus (also see, for example, the vectors of Miller, Human Gene Ther. (1990); 1:5-14; Friedman, Science 244:1275-1281, 1989; Eglitis et al., BioTechniques (1988);6:608-614; Tolstoshev et al., Cur Opin Biotechnol (1990); 1:55-61; Sharp, The Lancet (1991);337:1277-78; Cometta et al., Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology 36:311-22, 1987; Anderson, Science (1984);226:401-409; Moen, Blood Cells 17:407-16, 1991; Miller et al., Biotechnol (1989);7:980-90; LeGal La Salle et al., Science (1993);259:988-90; and Johnson, Chest (1995)107:77S- 83S). Retroviral vectors are particularly well developed and 072734.1889
[0770] PATENT
[0771] have been used in clinical settings (Rosenberg et al., N Engl J Med (1990);323:370, 1990; Anderson et al., U. S. Patent. No. 5,399,346).
[0772] Non-viral approaches can also be employed for genetic modification of a cell. For example, a nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into a cell by administering the nucleic acid in the presence of lipofection (Feigner et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U. S. A. (1987);84:7413; Ono et al., Neurosci Lett (1990); 17:259; Brigham et al., Am J Med Sci (1989);298:278; Staubinger et al., Methods in Enzymol (1983); 101:512, Wu et al., J Biol Chem (1988);263:14621; Wu et al., J Biol Chem (1989);264: 16985), or by micro-injection under surgical conditions (Wolff et al., Science (1990);247: 1465). Other non-viral means for gene transfer include transfection in vitro using calcium phosphate, DEAE dextran, electroporation, and protoplast fusion. Liposomes can also be potentially beneficial for delivery of DNA into a cell. Transplantation of normal genes into the affected tissues of a subject can also be accomplished by transferring a normal nucleic acid into a cultivatable cell type ex vivo (e.g., an autologous or heterologous primary cell or progeny thereof), after which the cell (or its descendants) are injected into a targeted tissue or are injected systemically. Recombinant receptors can also be derived or obtained using transposases or targeted nucleases (e.g. Zinc finger nucleases, meganucleases, or TALE nucleases, CRISPR). Transient expression may be obtained by RNA electroporation.
[0773] In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed TCR can be integrated into a selected locus of the genome of a cell. Any targeted genome editing methods can also be used to deliver a presently disclosed TCR to a cell or a subject. In certain embodiments, a CRISPR system is used to deliver a presently disclosed TCR. In certain embodiments, zinc-finger nucleases are used to deliver presently disclosed TCR. In certain embodiments, a TALEN system is used to deliver a presently disclosed TCR.
[0774] In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed TCR can be integrated at a locus encoding a T cell receptor. Non-limiting examples of the loci include a TRAC locus, a TRBC locus, a TRBC locus, and a TRGC locus. In certain embodiments, the locus is a TRAC locus or a TRBC locus. Methods of targeting a TCR to a site within the genome of T cell can be found in WO2017180989 and Eyquem et al., Nature. (2017 Mar 2); 543(7643): 113-117, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0775] In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed TCR can be integrated at a locus encoding an immune checkpoint. Non-limiting examples of the loci include a PDCD1 locus, a CBLB locus, a CISH locus, or a RASA2 locus. In certain embodiments, the locus is a PDCD1 locus. In certain embodiments, the locus is a CBLB locus. In certain embodiments, the locus 072734.1889
[0776] PATENT
[0777] is a CISH locus. In certain embodiments, the locus is a RASA2 locus. Non-limiting examples of methods of integrating a presently disclosed TCR to a locus encoding an immune checkpoint include CRISPR systems, zinc-finger nucleases, and TALEN systems.
[0778] In certain embodiments, a presently disclosed TCR can be integrated at a genomic safe harbor locus. As used herein, a “genomic safe harbor” or “GSH” refers to a chromosome location where an integrated transgene (e.g., encoding a presently disclosed TCR) can be predictably expressed without adversely affecting endogenous gene structure or expression. In certain embodiments, integrating a transgene at the GSH does not alter cell behavior and / or promote malignant transformation of the host cell or the organism. In certain embodiments, the GSH permits sufficient transgene expression to yield desirable levels of protein or noncoding RNA encoded by the transgene. Additional information on genomic safe harbor sites can be found in International Patent Publication No. WO 2021 / 055616, Sadelain et al., Nature Reviews Cancer 12.1 (2012): 51-58, and Aznauryan et al., Cell Reports Methods 2.1 (2022), the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0779] In certain embodiments, the expression of the TCR is driven by an endogenous promoter / enhancer within or near the locus. In certain embodiments, the expression of the TCR is driven by an exogenous promoter integrated into the locus. The locus where the TCR is integrated is selected based on the expression level of the genes within the locus, and timing of the gene expression of the genes within the locus. The expression level and timing can vary under different stages of cell differentiation and mitogen / cytokine microenvironment, which are among the factors to be considered when making the selection.
[0780] In certain embodiments, the CRISPR system is used to integrate the TCR in selected loci of the genome of a cell. In certain embodiments, the CRISPR system uses a DNA donor template-guided homology directed repair at a defined genetic locus, e.g., a TRAC locus. Clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system is a genome editing tool discovered in prokaryotic cells. When utilized for genome editing, the system includes Cas9 (a protein able to modify DNA utilizing crRNA as its guide), CRISPR RNA (crRNA, contains the RNA used by Cas9 to guide it to the correct section of host DNA along with a region that binds to tracrRNA (generally in a hairpin loop form) forming an active complex with Cas9), trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA, binds to crRNA and forms an active complex with Cas9), and an optional section of DNA repair template (DNA that guides the cellular repair process allowing insertion of a specific DNA sequence). CRISPR / Cas9 often employs a plasmid to transfect the target cells. In certain embodiments, CRISPR / Cas9 is a recombinant ribonucleoprotein complex that is transfected into target cells. The crRNA needs 072734.1889
[0781] PATENT
[0782] to be designed for each application as this is the sequence that Cas9 uses to identify and directly bind to the target DNA in a cell. The repair template carrying TCR expression cassette needs also be designed for each application, as it must overlap with the sequences on either side of the cut and code for the insertion sequence. Multiple crRNA's and the tracrRNA can be packaged together to form a single-guide RNA (sgRNA). This sgRNA can be joined together with the Cas9 gene and made into a plasmid in order to be transfected into cells. Methods of using the CRISPR system are described, for example, in WO 2014093661 A2, WO 2015123339 Al, and WO 2015089354 Al, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0783] In certain embodiments, zinc-finger nucleases are used to integrate the TCR in selected loci of the genome of a cell. A zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN) is an artificial restriction enzyme, which is generated by combining a zinc finger DNA-binding domain with a DNA-cleavage domain. A zinc finger domain can be engineered to target specific DNA sequences which allows a zinc-finger nuclease to target desired sequences within genomes. The DNA-binding domains of individual ZFNs typically contain a plurality of individual zinc finger repeats and can each recognize a plurality of base pairs. The most common method to generate new zinc-finger domain is to combine smaller zinc-finger "modules" of known specificity. The most common cleavage domain in ZFNs is the non-specific cleavage domain from the type Ils restriction endonuclease Fokl. Using the endogenous homologous recombination (HR) machinery and a homologous DNA template carrying TCR expression cassette, ZFNs can be used to insert the TCR expression cassette into genome. When the targeted sequence is cleaved by ZFNs, the HR machinery searches for homology between the damaged chromosome and the homologous DNA template, and then copies the sequence of the template between the two broken ends of the chromosome, whereby the homologous DNA template is integrated into the genome. Methods of using the ZFN system are described, for example, in WO 2009146179 Al, WO 2008060510 A2 and CN 102174576 A, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0784] In certain embodiments, the TALEN system is used to integrate the TCR in selected loci of the genome of an immunoresponsive cell. Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) are restriction enzymes that can be engineered to cut specific sequences of DNA. TALEN system operates on almost the same principle as ZFNs. They are generated by combining a transcription activator-like effectors DNA-binding domain with a DNA cleavage domain. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are composed of 33-34 amino acid repeating motifs with two variable positions that have a strong recognition for specific 072734.1889
[0785] PATENT
[0786] nucleotides. By assembling arrays of these TALEs, the TALE DNA-binding domain can be engineered to bind desired DNA sequence, and thereby guide the nuclease to cut at specific locations in genome. Methods of using the TALEN system are described, for example, in WO 2014134412 Al, WO 2013163628 A2 and WO 2014040370 Al, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0787] cDNA expression for use in polynucleotide therapy methods can be directed from any suitable promoter (e.g., the human cytomegalovirus (CMV), simian virus 40 (SV40), or metallothionein promoters), and regulated by any appropriate mammalian regulatory element or intron (e.g. the elongation factor la enhancer / promoter / intron structure). For example, if desired, enhancers known to preferentially direct gene expression in specific cell types can be used to direct the expression of a nucleic acid. The enhancers used can include, without limitation, those that are characterized as tissue- or cell-specific enhancers. Alternatively, if a genomic clone is used as a therapeutic construct, regulation can be mediated by the cognate regulatory sequences or, if desired, by regulatory sequences derived from a heterologous source, including any of the promoters or regulatory elements described above.
[0788] Methods for delivering the genome editing agents / sy stems can vary depending on the need. In certain embodiments, the components of a selected genome editing method are delivered as DNA constructs in one or more plasmids. In certain embodiments, the components are delivered via viral vectors. Common delivery methods include but is not limited to, electroporation, microinjection, gene gun, impalefection, hydrostatic pressure, continuous infusion, sonication, magnetofection, adeno-associated viruses, envelope protein pseudotyping of viral vectors, replication-competent vectors cis and trans-acting elements, herpes simplex virus, and chemical vehicles (e.g., oligonucleotides, lipoplexes, polymersomes, polyplexes, dendrimers, inorganic Nanoparticles, and cell-penetrating peptides).
[0789] In certain embodiments, the delivery methods include the use of colloids. As used herein, the term “colloid” refers to systems in which there are two or more phases, with one phase (e.g., the dispersed phase) distributed in the other phase (e.g., the continuous phase). Moreover, at least one of the phases has small dimensions (in the range of about 10-9 to about 10-6 m). Non-limiting examples of colloids encompassed by the presently disclosed subject matter include macromolecule complexes, nanocapsules, microspheres, beads, and lipid-based systems (e.g., micelles, liposomes, and lipid nanoparticles).
[0790] In certain embodiments, the delivery methods include the use of liposomes. The term “liposome,” as used herein, refers to single- or multi-layered spherical lipid bilayer structures produced from lipids dissolved in organic solvents and then dispersed in aqueous media. 072734.1889
[0791] PATENT
[0792] Experimentally and therapeutically used for delivering an active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., nucleic acid compositions disclosed herein) to cells, liposomes fuse with cell membranes so the contents are transferred into the cytoplasm.
[0793] In certain embodiments, the delivery methods include the use of lipid nanoparticles. As used herein, the term “lipid nanoparticle” refers to a particle having at least one dimension in the order of nanometers (e.g., from about 1 nm to about 1,000 nm) and including at least one lipid. In certain embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles can include an active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., nucleic acid compositions disclosed herein) for delivering to cells. The morphology of the lipid nanoparticles can be different from liposomes. While liposomes are characterized by a lipid bilayer surrounding a hydrophilic core, lipid nanoparticles have an electron-dense core where cationic lipids and / or ionizable lipids are organized into inverted micelles around an active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., nucleic acid compositions disclosed herein). Additional information on the morphology and properties of lipid nanoparticles and liposomes can be found in Wilczewska, et al., Pharmacological reports 64, no. 5 (2012): 1020-1037; Eygeris et al., Accounts of Chemical Research 55, no. 1 (2021): 2-12; Zhang et al., Chemical Reviews 121, no. 20 (2021): 12181-12277; and Fan et al., Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis 192 (2021): 113642.
[0794] In certain embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles have a mean diameter of from about 30 nm to about 150 nm, from about 40 nm to about 150 nm, from about 50 nm to about 150 nm, from about 60 nm to about 130 nm, from about 70 nm to about 110 nm, from about 70 nm to about 100 nm, from about 80 nm to about 100 nm, from about 90 nm to about 100 nm, from about 70 to about 90 nm, from about 80 nm to about 90 nm, from about 70 nm to about 80 nm, or about 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm, 120 nm, 125 nm, 130 nm, 135 nm, 140 nm, 145 nm, or 150 nm.
[0795] In certain embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles can include a cationic lipid or an ionizable lipid. The term “cationic lipid” refers to lipids including a head group with permanent positive charges. Non-limiting examples of cationic lipids encompassed by the presently disclosed subject matter include l,2-di-O-octadecenyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTMA), l,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), 2,3-dioleyloxy-N-[2-(sperminecarboxamido)ethyl]-N, N-dimethyl-l-propanaminium trifluoroacetate (DOSPA), and ethylphosphatidylcholine (ePC).
[0796] As used herein, the term “ionizable lipid” refers to lipids that are protonated at low pH and are neutral at physiological pH. The pH-sensitivity of ionizable lipids is particularly 072734.1889
[0797] PATENT
[0798] beneficial for delivery in vivo (e.g., delivery of nucleic acid compositions disclosed herein), because neutral lipids have less interactions with the anionic membranes of blood cells and, thus, improve the biocompatibility of the lipid nanoparticles. Once trapped in endosomes, ionizable lipids are protonated and promote membrane destabilization to allow the endosomal escape of the nanoparticles. Non-limiting example of ionizable lipids encompassed by the presently disclosed subject matter include tetrakis(8-methylnonyl) 3,3 ',3 ",3"'-(((methylazanediyl) bis(propane-3,l diyl))bis (azanetriyl))tetrapropionate; decyl (2-(dioctylammonio)ethyl) phosphate; ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,l-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate); bis(2-(dodecyldisulfanyl)ethyl) 3,3 ' -((3-methyl-9-oxo-10-oxa-13,14-dithia-3,6-diazahexacosyl)azanediyl)dipropionate; 1,1 ' -((2-(4-(2-((2-(bis(2-hydroxydodecyl)amino)ethyl) (2-hydroxydodecyl)amino)ethyl) piperazin- 1 -yl)ethyl)azanediyl) bis(dodecan-2-ol); cKK-E12, 3,6-bis(4-(bis(2-hydroxydodecyl)amino)butyl)piperazine-2, 5-dione; (6Z,9Z,28Z,31Z)-heptatriaconta-6,9,28,31-tetraen- 19-yl 4-(dimethylamino) butanoate; hexa(octan-3-yl) 9,9',9",9"', 9" ",9"' " - ((((benzene-l,3,5-tricarbonyl)yris(azanediyl)) tris (propane-3,1 -diyl)) tris(azanetriyl))hexanonanoate; heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl)amino) octanoate; and (((3,6-dioxopiperazine-2,5-diyl)bis(butane-4, 1-diyl))bis(azanetriyl))tetrakis(ethane-2,l-diyl) (9Z,9 ' Z,9 " Z,9"'Z,12Z,12 ' Z,12" Z,12"'Z)-tetrakis (octadeca-9, 12-di enoate).
[0799] Additionally, in certain embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles can include other lipids. For example, but without any limitation, the lipid nanoparticles of the presently disclosed subject matter can include phospholipids, cholesterol, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-functionalized lipids (PEG-lipids). These lipids can improve certain properties of the lipid nanoparticles (e.g., stability, biodistribution, etc.). For example, cholesterol enhances the stability of the lipid nanoparticles by modulating their integrity and rigidity.

[0802] In certain embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles can include a targeting moiety that binds to a ligand. The use of the targeting moieties allows selective delivery of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., nucleic acid compositions disclosed herein) to target cells expressing the ligand (e.g., T cells). In certain embodiments, the targeting moiety can be an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to a cell surface receptor. For example, but without any limitation, the targeting domain is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to a receptor expressed on the surface of a T cell (e.g., CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD40L, CD95, FasL, CTLA-4, 0X40, GITR, LAG3, ICOS, and PD-1).
[0803] In certain embodiments, the delivery methods are in vivo delivery methods. In certain embodiments, the delivery methods are ex vivo delivery methods.
