[0007] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The present disclosure relates to the field of immunotherapy, and more particularly to CLL-1 / CD33 dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptors (CARs).
[0009] BACKGROUND
[0010] Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults, characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant myeloid blast cells in bone marrow along with impaired normal hematopoiesis (De Kouchkovsky et al., Acute myeloid leukemia: a comprehensive review and 2016 update, Blood Cancer J. 6, e441 (2016); Saif et al., Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Is That All There Is? Cureus 10, e3198 (2018)). To date, a wide variety of therapeutic strategies have been developed for AML including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), chemotherapy, target therapy, and immunotherapy-based treatments (Marofi et al., Novel CAR T therapy is a ray of hope in the treatment of seriously ill AML patients. Stem Cell Res. Ther. 12, 465 (2021)). However, the prognosis remains poor and treatment options for relapsed AML are very limited (Koenig et al., The Changing Landscape of Treatment in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Am. Soc. Clin. Oncol. Educ. Book 40, 1-12 (2020)).
[0011] The advent of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has led to dramatic remission rates in multiple relapsed / refractory (r / r) hematologic malignancies (June et al., Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapy, N. Engl. J. Med. 379, 64-73 (2018)). While CAR T-cell therapy has been particularly successful for B-cell malignancies, effectively treating AML withCARs has posed a larger challenge. AML not only creates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that dampens CAR-T cell responses, but also lacks many unique tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), making leukemic-specific targeting difficult. Since many AML targets under investigation are also expressed on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), CAR-T cell therapy can lead to severe and potentially lethal myeloablation (Marvin-Peek et al., Challenges and Advances in Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Cancers (Basel) 14 (2022)). For example, CD33 is expressed on AML blast cells and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in most patients, but it is also present on HSCs and widely distributed in liver tissue with a high expression level on hepatocytes (Maniecki et al., Is hepatotoxicity in patients treated with gemtuzumabozogamicin due to specific targeting of hepatocytes? Leuk. Res. 35, e84-86 (2011)), which raises many concerns on CD33-targeting associated adverse effects. Therefore, CAR-T cell therapy works well for B-cell malignancies, but successful translation to AML is yet to be accomplished. At present, no CAR-T cell therapy for the treatment of AML has been approved by FDA.
[0012] There is an urgent need to develop methods to effectively treat AML.

[0076] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0077] Figures 1A-1E. Design, structure and functional verification of CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CAR constructs. (A) Split duaLCAR strategy is used for designing T cells to attack tumor cells and spare normal tissues (Hanada et al., Double or nothing on cancer immunotherapy, Nat. Biotechnol. 31, 33-34 (2013)). (B-C) Domain structure of an embodiment of the CLL-1 / CD33-specific dual-CAR constructs. H, hinge; TM, transmembrane, SP, signal peptide. (D-E) Differential potency of tested dual-CARs against single antigen vs dual antigens was evaluated by co-culturing T cells and wild type (WT), CLL-1 / CD33 single knockout (sKO), and double knockout (dKO) AML cells (U-937). IFNy release in co-culture supernatants (D) and killing ability (E) were quantitated. Mono-specific CARs (CLL-sCAR and CD33-sCAR) were used as controls to confirm comparative levels of antigen expression on sKO and WT AML cells. RLU (relative light unit) was positively correlated with the number of live cells in luciferase killing assays.
[0078] Figures 2A-2D. CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CAR T cells (D3 and D4) produce large amounts of IFNy upon both dual targeting and single targeting. (A) Schematic diagrams show the structures of CLL-1- specific first-generation CAR (DI), CD33-specific 4-1BB endo-domain only CAR (D2), CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CARs with the linking of DI and D2 by P2A peptide (D1-P2A-D2 for D3, and D2-P2A-D1 for D4). (B) Representative flow profile shows the antigen binding ability of non-transduced (NTD) control T cells, and D1-D4 CAR-T cells. T cells were incubated with human IgG Fc-tagged CLL-1 recombinant protein and His-tagged CD33 recombinant protein. After washing, cells were further stained with secondary PE-conjugated anti-His antibody (Cat # 362603, BioLegend) and Alexa Fluor® 647 AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 Fragment Goat Anti-Human IgG, Fey fragment specific antibody (Code 109-606-008, Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc.). (C) Flow cytometry assays confirmed single and double knockout of CLL-1 / CD33 in AML single clones generated from HL-60-Luc2 cells and U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells byCRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. (D) IFNy levels from the co-culture of indicated T cells and AML cells. T cells (50K total T cells / well) were co-cultured with wild type (WT) or CLL-1 / CD33 single / double knockout HL-60 or U-937 cells (50K cells / well) overnight. Cytokine levels in the co-culture supernatants were quantitated by cytokine bead array (CBA, BD Biosciences).

[0091] The present disclosure provides CLL-1 / CD33 dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). The CAR may comprise an anti-CLL-1 antigen-binding region and an anti-CD33 antigenbinding region. The CAR may comprise an anti-CLL-1 VHH and an anti-CD33 VHH. The dualtargeting CAR may comprise two portions: one having a first VHH, a first hinge region, a first transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain; the other having a second VHH, a second hinge region, a second transmembrane domain, and a co- stimulatory region. The present CARs can be used to treat cancer, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
[0092] Dual-targeting CAR-T cells may show substantial activity only when both targets are present on the tumor and thus possess improved safety. The dual-CAR approach minimizes parallel reactivity against normal tissues bearing a single antigen.
[0093] CLL-1 (C-type lectin-like molecule 1), also known as CLEC12A (C-type lectin domain family 12 member A) or CD37L is expressed on leukemic blasts in a large proportion of AML patients and is also expressed on leukemic stem cells (LSCs). In normal hematopoiesis, CLL-1 expression emerges at the level of the common myeloid progenitor, extending towards the mature myeloid lineage. CLL-1 is a stable marker for detection of measurable residual disease in AML. CLL-1, as used herein, may refer to any native, mature CLL-1 that results from processing of a CLL-1 precursor in a cell. The term includes CLL-1 from any vertebrate, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans, cynomolgus or rhesus monkeys) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The term also includes naturally occurring variants of CLL-1, such as splice variants or allelic variants. A non-limiting exemplary mature human CLL-1 amino acid sequence is shown, e.g., in UniProt Accession No. Q5QGZ9.
[0094] CD33 (myeloid cell surface antigen CD33), also known as Siglec-3 (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3) or gp67, is an antigen marker that is present on AML blasts in approximately 90% patients, making it a potent distinguisher of AML blasts. However, CD33 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells and hepatocytes, making them susceptible for CD33-targeted immunotherapies (such as Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), a CD33-directed antibody-drug conjugate). CD33, as used herein, may refer to any native, mature CD33 that results from processing of a CD33 precursor in a cell. The term includes CD33 from any vertebrate, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans, cynomolgus or rhesus monkeys) and rodents (e.g.,mice and rats). The term also includes naturally occurring variants of CD33, such as splice variants or allelic variants. A non-limiting exemplary mature human CD33 amino acid sequence is shown, e.g., in UniProt Accession No. P20138.
[0095] CLL-1 and CD33 are co-expressed on AML blasts and LSCs.

The second polypeptide may comprise an anti-CD33 antigen-binding region comprising a second VHH (i.e., an anti-CD33 VHH).

An Fc region may refer to a portion of a heavy chain constant region comprising CH2 and CH3. In some embodiments, an Fc region comprises a hinge, CH2, and CH3. An Fc region may be of any antibody heavy chain constant region isotype. In some embodiments, an Fc region is an Fc region of IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4.
[0198] In some embodiments, an antibody is a multi- specific antibody. For example, it comprises a plurality of variable domain sequences (e.g., VHHs), wherein a first variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a second epitope.
[0199] In some embodiments, a multi- specific antibody molecule is a bispecific or trispecific antibody molecule. A bispecific antibody has specificity for two antigens. A bispecific antibody molecule is characterized by a first variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope (e.g., CLL-1) and a second variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope (e.g., CD33). A bispecific antibody refers to a molecule that combines the antigen binding sites of two antibodies within a single molecule. Thus, a bispecific antibody can bind two different antigens simultaneously or sequentially.The present disclosure provides for one or more vectors (or at least one vector) comprising the present nucleic acid, or the present system.

[0210] The antigen-binding region may refer to a portion of an antibody sufficient to bind an antigen. In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding region contains a VHH domain.
[0211] The term “VHH” or “VHH domain” as used herein refers to the antigen- binding portion of a single-domain antibody (sdAb), such as a camelid antibody or shark antibody. In certain embodiments, a VHH comprises three CDRs and four framework regions, designated FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. In certain embodiments, a VHH may be truncated at the N-terminus or C-terminus such that it comprises only a partial FR1 and / or FR4, or lacks one or both of FR1 and FR4, so long as the VHH substantially maintains antigen binding and specificity. Safarzadeh et al. Nanobody-based CAR-T cells for cancer immunotherapy. Biomark Res. 10, 24 (2022).
[0212] A single domain antibody (sdAb) refers to an antibody comprising at least one monomeric domain (such as a VHH domain) without a light chain, and an Fc region. In some embodiments, an sdAb is a dimer of two polypeptides wherein each polypeptide comprises at least one VHH domain and an Fc region.
[0213] The term “CDR” denotes a complementarity determining region as defined by, e.g., the Kabat numbering scheme, the Chothia numbering schemes, a combination of Kabat and Chothia, the AbM definition, and / or the contact definition.
[0214] A humanized VHH may refer to a VHH in which one or more framework regions have been substantially replaced with human framework regions. In some instances, the humanized VHH can comprise residues that are found neither in the original VHH nor in the human framework sequences, but are included to further refine and optimize VHH-containing polypeptide performance.
[0215] The term “derived from” refers to structural similarity between a first molecule and asecond molecule and does not include a process or source limitation on a first molecule that is derived from a second molecule. For example, in the case of a cytoplasmic signaling domain that is derived from CD3zeta, the cytoplasmic signaling domain retains sufficient CD3zeta structure such that it has the required function. It does not mean that, to generate the cytoplasmic signaling domain, one must start with a CD3zeta sequence and make desired modifications, to arrive at the cytoplasmic signaling domain.
[0216] The term “about”, when referring to a value, is meant to encompass variations of ±20%, ±10%, ±5%, ±1%, or ±0.1% from the specified value. In certain cases, the term “about” encompasses variations of ±10% from the specified value.
[0217] Chimeric
[0218]
[0219] The terms “chimeric antigen receptor,” or alternatively “CAR”, are used interchangeably throughout and refer to a recombinant or engineered polypeptide comprising, e.g., an extracellular antigen- binding region, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. Lee et al.. Clin. Cancer Res. (2012) 18(10):2780; Jensen et al., Immunol Rev. (2014) 257(1): 127. In one embodiment, the stimulatory molecule is the zeta chain associated with the T cell receptor complex. In one aspect, the cytoplasmic signaling domain further comprises one or more functional signaling domains derived from at least one costimulatory molecule. The costimulatory region may also be 4-1BB (i.e.. CD137), CD27 and / or CD28 or fragments of those molecules. In another aspect, the CAR comprises a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen-binding region, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. The CAR may comprise a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen recognition domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising a functional signaling domain derived from a costimulatory molecule and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. Alternatively, the CAR may comprise a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen recognition domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising two functional signaling domains derived from one or more co-stimulatory molecule(s) and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. The CAR may also comprise a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen recognition domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising at least two functionalsignaling domains derived from one or more co-stimulatory molecule(s) and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. The antigen-binding region of the CAR may contain any antigen-binding antibody fragment. The antibody fragment can comprise one or more CDRs, the variable region (or portions thereof), the constant region (or portions thereof), or combinations of any of the foregoing.
[0220] In certain embodiments, the present CAR is a split CAR system. The split CAR approach is described in U.S. Patent No. 12,383,601, U.S. Patent No. 9,365,641 and U.S. Patent No.
[0221] 10,117,896, incorporated herein by reference. For example, a split CAR system may contain a first CAR having a first antigen-binding region, optionally a hinge region, optionally a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain (e.g., CD3 zeta), and a second CAR having a second antigen-binding region, optionally a hinge region, optionally a transmembrane domain, and a costimulatory region (e.g., 4-1BB). When the cell encounters the second antigen, the costimulatory region is activated, and the cell proliferates. When the cell encounters the first antigen, the cytoplasmic signaling domain is activated and cell-killing activity begins. Thus, the CAR-expressing cell is only fully activated in the presence of both antigens. In certain embodiments, the first antigen-binding region recognizes CLL-1, and the second antigen-binding region recognizes CD33. In certain embodiments, the first antigen-binding region recognizes CD33, and the second antigen-binding region recognizes CLL-1.
[0222] In certain embodiments, the domains in the CAR are in the same polypeptide chain. In certain embodiments, the domains in the CAR are not contiguous with each other, for example, are in different polypeptide chains.
[0223] In certain embodiments, the first CAR (component) is encoded by a first polynucleotide, and the second CAR (component) is encoded by a second polynucleotide. In certain embodiments, the first and second polynucleotides are on a single nucleic acid molecule. In certain embodiments, the first and second polynucleotides are on separate nucleic acid molecules. In an embodiment, the polynucleotide is DNA or RNA. In certain embodiments, the first and second polynucleotides are situated in the same orientation, e.g., transcription of the first and second polynucleotides proceeds in the same direction. In certain embodiments, the first and second polynucleotides are situated in different orientations. In certain embodiments, a single promoter controls expression of the first and second polynucleotides.
[0224] In certain embodiments, the first and second polynucleotides are on a single nucleicmolecule in the same frame and translated as a single polypeptide.
[0225] Production of the first CAR (component) and the second CAR (component) can be achieved, e.g., by using separate promoters, or by the use of a bicistronic transcription product (which can result in the production of two proteins by cleavage of a single translation product or by the translation of two separate protein products). In certain embodiments, a first promoter controls expression of the first polynucleotide and a second promoter controls expression of the second polynucleotide.
[0226] A CAR described herein may be encoded by a single nucleic acid and expressed as a single polypeptide, which is subsequently cleaved into different polypeptides, each representing a distinct functional unit. In some embodiments, where the CAR contains two or more functional polypeptide units, the different functional units may be co-expressed using one or more polynucleotide chains. In one embodiment, co- stimulation is provided by an accessory module that is co-expressed with the CAR but is not an integral part of the CAR polypeptide.
[0227] In certain embodiments, the oligonucleotide encoding a linker peptide is placed such that a cell can express a fusion protein comprising the first CAR (component) and the second CAR (component), and the fusion protein is subsequently processed into two peptides. In some embodiments, the first polynucleotide is upstream (at the 5’ end) of the second polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide is upstream (at the 5’ end) of the first polynucleotide.
[0228] In certain embodiments, an oligonucleotide encoding a linker peptide is situated between the first and second polynucleotides. In one embodiment, the first polynucleotide and the second polynucleotide are separated by an oligonucleotide encoding a linker. In certain embodiments, the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide are expressed as a single polypeptide separated by a linker.
[0229] The linker may be cleavable or non-cleavable.
[0230] Examples of cleavable peptides include, but are not limited to, self-cleaving viral 2A peptides, for example, a porcine teschovirus-1 (P2A) peptide, a Thosea asigna virus (T2A) peptide, an equine rhinitis A virus (E2A) peptide, a foot-and-mouth disease virus (F2A) peptide, or combinations, variants and functional equivalents thereof. Self-cleaving 2A peptides allow expression of multiple gene products from a single construct. See, for example, Chang et al., Cleavage efficient 2A peptides for high level monoclonal antibody expression in CHO cells, MAbs7(2): 403-412 (2015).
[0231] In certain embodiments, the linker comprises a T2A peptide, a GSG-T2A peptide, an E2A peptide, a GSG-E2A peptide, an F2A peptide, a GSG-F2A peptide, a P2A peptide, or a GSG-P2A peptide. In certain embodiments, the linker comprises a P2A peptide.
[0232] Non-cleavable linkers may be a flexible linker composed of flexible residues which allow freedom of motion of adjacent protein domains relative to one another. Non-limiting examples of such residues include glycine and serine. A flexible linker may refer to a peptide linker that contains amino acids such as glycine and / or serine residues used alone or in combination. In one embodiment, the flexible linker is a Gly / Ser linker and comprises the amino acid sequence (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)n, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1. For example, n=l, n=2, n=3. n=4, n=5 and n=6, n=7, n=8. n=9 and n=10. In one embodiment, the flexible polypeptide linkers include, but are not limited to, (Gly4Ser)4 or (Gly4Ser)3. In some embodiments, linkers include non-flexible residues.
[0233] In an embodiment, a Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly (SGSG) or GSG motif is also added upstream of the cleavable linker sequences to enhance the efficiency of cleavage. In some embodiments, a furine cleavage site (RAKR) is added upstream of the SGSG or GSG motif to facilitate cleavage of the 2A peptide following translation.
[0234] The first and second polynucleotides (e.g., encoding the different units of a CAR) may be linked by IRES (Internal Ribosomal Entry Site) sequences. Alternately, the first and second polynucleotides (e.g., the different functional units of a CAR) are encoded by two different polynucleotides that are not linked via a linker but are instead encoded by, for example, two different nucleic acids or vectors.
[0235] The term “zeta” or alternatively “zeta chain”, “CD3-zeta” or “TCR-zeta” may be the protein provided as GenBank accession numbers NP_932170, NP_000725. or XP_011508447: or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like, and a “zeta stimulatory domain” or alternatively a “CD3-zeta stimulatory domain” or a “TCR-zeta stimulatory domain” may be the amino acid residues from the cytoplasmic domain of the zeta chain that are sufficient to functionally transmit an initial signal necessary for T cell activation.
[0236] A chimeric receptor may refer to a non-naturally occurring molecule that can be expressed on the surface of a host cell and comprises an antigen-binding fragment that binds to an antigen.In addition to the antigen-binding fragment, the chimeric receptor may further comprise one or more of a hinge region, a transmembrane domain, at least one co-stimulatory region, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises from N terminus to C terminus, an antigen-binding region (or fragment), a hinge region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor further comprises at least one co-stimulatory region. Thus, the chimeric antigen receptor may comprise from N terminus to C terminus, an antigen-binding region (or fragment), a hinge region, a transmembrane domain, a co-stimulatory region, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain.
[0237] In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptors comprise a hinge region, which may be located between the antigen-binding region and a transmembrane domain. The hinge region may contain about 10-200 amino acids, e.g., 15-150 amino acids, 20-100 amino acids, or 30-60 amino acids. In some embodiments, the hinge region may be of about 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. 23. 24. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35. 40. 45. 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, or 200 amino acids in length. The hinge region may contain 0-300 amino acids, 2 amino acids to 100 amino acids, 5 amino acids to 80 amino acids, 10 amino acids to 60 amino acids, 10 amino acids to 15 amino acids, 20 amino acids to 80 amino acids, 30 amino acids to 70 amino acids, 40 amino acids to 60 amino acids, 50 amino acids to 60 amino acids, or 30 amino acids to 60 amino acids.

[0253] The present disclosure also provides immune cells comprising or expressing the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide, immune cells comprising or expressing the recombinant polypeptide, immune cells expressing the present CAR, and immune cells comprising the nucleic acid, the vector, or the system.
[0254] Recognition of a target cell having the antigen(s) on its cell surface by the antigen-binding fragment of the chimeric antigen receptor may transduce an activation signal to the signaling domain(s) (e.g., co-stimulatory region and / or the cytoplasmic signaling domain) of the chimeric antigen receptor, which may activate an effector function in the immune cell expressing the chimeric antigen receptor.
[0255] The chimeric antigen receptor can be introduced into a suitable immune cell for expression via conventional technology. In some embodiments, the immune cells are T cells, such as primary T cells or T cell lines. Alternatively, the immune cells can be natural killer (NK) cells, such as established NK cell lines (e.g., NK-92 cells). In some embodiments, the immune cells are T cells that express CD8 (CD8+) or CD8 and CD4 (CD8+ / CD4+). In some embodiments, the T cells are T cells of an established T cell line, for example, Jurkat cells. Non-limiting examples of immune cells include T cells (e.g., alpha / beta T cells and gamma / delta T cells), B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, mast cells, and myeloic-derived phagocytes.
[0256] Primary T cells may be obtained from any source, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), bone marrow, tissues such as spleen, lymph node, thymus, or tumor tissue. In some embodiments, the population of immune cells is derived from a human patient having cancer (e.g., hematopoietic malignancy), such as from the bone marrow or from PBMCs obtained from the patient. In some embodiments, the population of immune cells is derived from a healthy donor. In some embodiments, the immune cells are obtained from the subject to whom the immune cellsexpressing the chimeric antigen receptors will be subsequently administered. Immune cells that are administered to the same subject from which the cells were obtained are referred to as autologous cells, whereas immune cells that are obtained from a subject who is not the subject to whom the cells will be administered may be referred to as allogeneic cells.
[0257] The type of immune cells desired may be expanded within the population of cells obtained by co-incubating the cells with stimulatory molecules, for example, anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies may be used for expansion of T cells.
[0258] To construct the immune cells that express the chimeric antigen receptors described herein, vectors for stable or transient expression of the chimeric antigen receptor may be constructed via conventional methods as described herein and introduced into immune cells. For example, nucleic acids encoding the chimeric antigen receptors may be cloned into a suitable vector, such as a viral vector.
[0259] In certain embodiments, immune cells (e.g., T cells) are transduced with lentiviral vectors (LVs) encoding the present CAR. The transduced immune cells (e.g., T cells) can target CLL-1 and CD33, synergistically activate the T cells, and induce T cell-mediated immune responses.
[0260] In one embodiment, in the present method, T cells from an autologous patient (or an allogeneic donor) are isolated, activated and genetically modified to generate CAR-T cells expressing the present CAR, and then administered to the patient. CAR-T cells can replicate in vivo resulting in long-term persistence. In addition, the CAR-mediated immune response may be part of an adoptive immunotherapy approach in which the anti-CLL-l / CD33 CAR-T cells elicit an immune response against cells expressing CLL-1 and / or CD33.
[0261] In certain embodiments, cells are isolated from a mammal (e.g.. a human) and genetically modified (i.e., transduced or transfected in vitro) with a vector expressing a CAR disclosed herein. The CAR-modified cells can be administered to a mammalian recipient to provide a therapeutic benefit. The mammalian recipient may be a human. The CAR-modified cell can be autologous with respect to the recipient. Alternatively, the cells can be allogeneic, syngeneic or xenogeneic with respect to the recipient.
[0262] The methods of preparing immune cells expressing the present chimeric antigen receptors may comprise activating and / or expanding the immune cells ex vivo. Activating an immune cell means stimulating an immune cell into an activated state in which the cell may be able to perform effector functions (e.g., cytotoxicity). Methods of activating an immune cell will depend on thetype of the immune cell used for expression of the chimeric antigen receptors. Expanding immune cells may involve any method that results in an increase in the number of cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors, for example, allowing the cells to proliferate or stimulating the cells to proliferate. In some embodiments, the cells expressing the chimeric receptors described herein are activated and / or expanded ex vivo prior to administration to a subject.
[0263] The CAR-expressing immune cells may also serve as a vaccine for ex vivo immunization and / or in vivo therapy in a mammal.

[0316] The following examples of specific aspects for carrying out the present disclosure are offered for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way.
[0317] Example 1
[0318] We adopted a split dual-CAR-T strategy to design our AML CAR-T cell therapy product, which enhances specificity / sensitivity and reduces toxicity by targeting dual tumor- associated antigens (TAAs) (Fesnak et al., Engineered T cells: the promise and challenges of cancer immunotherapy, Nat. Rev. Cancer 16, 566-581 (2016)). Studies have shown thatCLL-1 andCD33 are expressed at high levels in both AML blast cells and LSCs (Willier et al., CLEC12A and CD33 coexpression as a preferential target for pediatric AML combinatorial immunotherapy. Blood 137, 1037-1049 (2021)). We chose CLL-1 as our primary TAA, and CD33 as the secondary TAA.
[0319] The lead CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CAR contains an anti-CLL-1 CAR (a CLL-1 -specific binding fragment of heavy chain only antibody (VHH) / a CD3(^ signaling domain-containing first-generation CAR) and an anti-CD33 CAR (a CD33-directed VHH binding fragment / a 4- IBB costimulatory domain-containing chimeric co-stimulatory receptor, CCR). This design allows the dual-CAR T cells to show the highest activity only under the presence of both antigens and thus possess improved safety with minimized parallel reactivity against normal tissues bearing a single antigen.
[0320] The dual-CAR T cells can be used for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R / R AML). These CLL-l / CD33-directed CAR T cells can be manufactured using a patient’s own T cells and a third- generation self-inactivating lentiviral vector which encodes a split dual-CAR molecule. This dual-targeting approach potentiates the therapeutic efficacy of the lead dual-CAR T cells against CLL-l / CD33-double positive AML blasts and leukemia stem cells whileenhancing safety by reduced toxicity against normal tissues bearing a single antigen.
[0321] To confirm the simultaneous CAR expression in the lead dual-CAR T cells and their differential potency against CLL-1 / CD33 single-positive versus double-positive antigens, antigen binding assay using recombinant antigen proteins and coculture assays with CLL-1 / CD33 doublepositive wild type and single-knockout AML cells were performed.
[0322] Specifically, to evaluate the activity of the lead dual-CAR T-cell product, human AML cell lines (HL-60-Luc2 and U-937-GFP-Luc2, both CLL-1+CD33+) underwent CRISPR / Cas9-mediated gene editing to generate CLL-1 / CD33 single knockout (CLL-1+CD33 or CLL-1'CD33+) and double knockout (CLL-1 CD33 ) single clones. The lead dual-CAR T cells in co-culture experiments released the highest levels of IFNy only upon activation by CLL- 1+CD33+AML cells rather than the single antigen-positive target cells. In addition, luciferase killing assays demonstrated that these dual-CAR T cells exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against CLL-1+CD33+AML cells, while showing weaker cytotoxic activity against CLL-1 / CD33 single-positive AML cells. Therefore, the lead dual-CAR T cells display differential potency against single antigen-expressing targets versus dual antigens-expressing targets. This in vitro study supports the efficacy and safety of dual-CAR T cells with the well-selected CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR for clinical trials.
[0323] Results
[0324] Through optimized design, CAR-T cells can show strong activity only when specific dual TAAs are co-expressed (Hanada et al., Double or nothing on cancer immunotherapy, Nat. Biotechnol. 31, 33-34 (2013); Kloss et al., Combinatorial antigen recognition with balanced signaling promotes selective tumor eradication by engineered T cells, Nat. Biotechnol. 31, 71-75 (2013)). The dual-CAR T cells express two kinds of CARs, one of which recognizes and binds to one TAA and transmits only the CD3^ primary signal, while the other recognizes another distinct TAA and transmits the CD28 / 4-1BB co-stimulatory signal (also called chimeric co-stimulatory receptor, CCR). Therefore, dual-CAR T cells show activity only under the presence of both targets on the tumor and thus possess improved safety (Figure 1A). The dual-CAR approach potentiates the therapeutic efficacy of CAR-T cells against cancers while minimizing parallel reactivity against normal tissues bearing a single antigen.
[0325] We selected CLL-1 as the primary target to construct the first-generation CAR, and CD33as the secondary target to construct the CCR (Figure IB). The two main parts (CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR) are separated by the P2A self-cleaving peptide to achieve the expression of two different proteins from one single open reading frame (Figure 1C) (Liu et al., Systematic comparison of 2A peptides for cloning multi-genes in a polycistronic vector, Sci. Rep. 7, 2193 (2017)). Our early exploration using benchmark anti-CLL-l / CD33 antibody sequences showed that, unexpectedly, the dual-CAR T cells (such as D3, D4, and DC-3) demonstrated a significant leakage to CD33 single positive targets, as evidenced by high levels of IFNy production upon targeting by CLL-T CD33+AML cells (Figures 2A-2D and Figures 3A-3F). To resolve this problem, multiple strategies, including the modifications of antibody sequence combinations, costimulatory domains, CD3 signaling domains, and hinge / transmembrane (H / TM) domains, were employed to test whether differential potency can be achieved. Our efforts resulted in the recognition that the same H / TM domains-mediated dimerization of CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR was likely the primary reason for the leakage to CLL-TCD33+targets, for which CAR dimerization was reported in previous publications (Leddon et al., The CD28 Transmembrane Domain Contains an Essential Dimerization Motif, Front Immunol. 11, 1519 (2020); Hirabayashi et al., Dual Targeting CAR-T Cells with Optimal Costimulation and Metabolic Fitness enhance Antitumor Activity and Prevent Escape in Solid Tumors, Nat. Cancer 2, 904-918 (2021); Muller et al, The CD28-Transmembrane Domain Mediates Chimeric Antigen Receptor Heterodimerization With CD28, Front. Immunol. 12, 639818 (2021)). Further investigation found that using two alternative H / TM domains sets for CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR (e.g., one from CD8, and one from CD28), can prominently abolish the leakage effects, showing remarkably differential potency between CD33 single targeting and CLL-1 / CD33 dual targeting (such as Figure ID and Figure IE). Subsequently, "-28HTM" and "-28-8" were established as the dual-CAR frameworks to develop our dual-CAR products.
[0326] We generated anti-CLL-1 and anti-CD33 heavy chain-only single-chain antibodies (VHHs). Through alpaca immunization, phage panning and screening, and antibody purification and verification, we obtained multiple candidate VHHs (Figure 15). In addition, the antigen binding ability and potency of VHH-containing mono-specific CAR-T cells (CLL-A01 to CLL-A12; CD33-B01 to CD33-B11) were evaluated and compared to substantiate the suitability of these VHHs in a CAR construct (Figures 6A-6F and Figures 9A-9F). As a result, CLL-A04 / A07 / A09 and CD33-B04 / B06 / B11 were identified as lead anti-CLL-1 and anti-CD33 VHHs,respectively. Further comparative tests of the AxBy dual-CAR structures (A04 / A07 / A09 x B04 / B06 / B11, in "-28HTM" and "-28-8" frameworks) were conducted (Figures 10A-10D, Figures 11A-11D and Figures 12A-12D), and anti-CLL-1 VHHs and anti-CD33 VHHs with good specificity and safety were used to construct our dual-targeting CAR structures (Figure 1C).
[0327] Preclinical in vitro studies showed that these dual-CAR T cells displayed differential potency against single antigen-expressing targets versus dual targets-expressing targets (Figure ID and Figure IE), enabling them to effectively kill CLL-1+CD33+AML blast and LSCs while preserving CD33 single positive HSCs and liver cells. In addition, compared with the prevailing second-generation CLL-1 mono-specific CARs, our dual-CARs with a first-generation anti-CLL-1 CAR can potentially reduce the toxicity to CLL-1 single positive normal myeloid cells. Moreover, the dual-CAR with co-targeting of CLL-1 and CD33 can potentially enhance the killing of CLL-llow / " CD33+AML blasts (such as M0LM13 cells in Figure 14), thus significantly reducing the chance of AML relapse or delaying the occurrence of AML relapse. In summary, our dual-CAR cell therapy can be a bridge to alloHSCT, a supplement to traditional therapies, or a standalone therapy for patients with r / r AML to achieve better therapeutic outcomes due to effective recognition and safe elimination of AML.
[0328] A serial of mono-specific CARs and dual-CARs were constructed using benchmark anti-CLL-1 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) CLL-05 and anti-CD33 scFv CD33.3. As shown in Figure 2A, DI and D2 are the CAR constructs targeting CLL-1 and CD33. respectively. Compared with the regular 2ndgeneration CAR, DI lacks the co-stimulatory domain of 4- IBB and D2 lacks the CD3(^ activation domain. The CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CARs (D3 and D4) were assembled by linking DI and D2 using the P2A peptide in different orientations (D1-P2A-D2 for D3, and D2-P2A-D1 for D4).
[0329] The self-cleaving peptide P2A allows the expression of two separate proteins from a single polycistronic mRNA vector with high cleavage efficiency. Thus, we confirmed that T cells transduced with D3 and D4 lentiviruses had simultaneous expression of DI mono-CAR and D2-mono-CAR, as determined by incubating T cells with human IgG Fc-tagged CLL-1 recombinant protein and His-tagged CD33 recombinant protein (Figure 2B).
[0330] HL-60 cells and U-937 cells are known to express both CLL-1 and CD33 antigens. To facilitate the evaluation of candidate dual-CAR T cells’ differential potency against CLL-1 / CD33 single-positive versus double-positive antigens, these cell lines with modified overexpression ofluciferase gene (HL-60-Luc2) or luciferase gene and GFP gene (U-937-GFP-Luc2) were subjected to gene knock out via the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. Flow cytometrical analysis of the resulting single clones showed that both cell lines with the desired four genotypes were verified: WT (CLL-1+CD33+), CLL-1 sKO (CLL-LCD33+), CD33 sKO (CLL-HCD33 ), and dKO (CLL-1 CD33 ). These cell lines displayed a purity percentage of desired CLL-1 / CD33 expression pattern as high as -99% (Figure 2C).
[0331] Subsequent T cells and AML cells co-culturing assays demonstrated that the D3 dual-CAR T cells produced higher levels of cytotoxic cytokine IFNy upon activation by WT (CLL-1+CD33+) target cells than those activated by antigen-single positive target cells (CLL-1+CD33 or CLL-1 CD33+) (Figure 2D). As expected, D2 T cells produced background levels of IFNy upon the encounter of CD33+target cells due to the lack of CD3y activation domain. DI T cells produced large amounts of IFNy when activated by CLL-1+target cells as DI is the 1stgeneration CAR. However, D3 and D4 dual-CAR T cells also released large amounts of IFNy when activated by the CLL-1‘CD33+cells (Figure 2D), suggesting an unexpected leakage to CD33-single positive targets. This leakage seemed to be more severe for the D4 dual-CAR T cells, probably due to more expression of CD33-CAR in D4 CAR-T cells than that in D3 CAR-T cells (Figure 2B). It is worth noting that WT (CLL-1+CD33+) target cells-activated D3 and D4 dual-CAR T cells produced much more IFNy than CD33 sKO (CLL-1+CD33 ) cells-activated D3 and D4 dual-CAR T cells (Figure 2D), implying the additive or synergistic effects of dual- targeting can enhance dual-CAR T cell potency.
[0332] To increase the lentivirus transduction efficiency through reducing the vector size, we decided to use the smaller- sized binder VHH (heavy chain only antibody) to replace the scFvs in dual-CAR constructs. In addition, the orientation of two mono-CARs (D1-P2A-D2) as in D3 dual-CAR was selected for further optimization, as D3 demonstrated less leakage than D4 to CD33-single positive targets (Figure 2D). This resulted in the new DC-3 dual-CAR design using the benchmark anti-CLL- 1 VHH (CLL- 11) and anti-CD33 VHH (CD33.16) (Figure 3A). We noticed that previous CAR design utilized hinge / transmembrane (H / TM) domains from CD8a for both DI and D2, which can cause CAR dimerization. Therefore, we replaced the second H / TM domains of CD8a from DC-3 CAR with the H / TM domains of CD28 to generate a new CAR construct DC-3-28HTM (Figure 3A). The secondary-generation mono-specific CARs targeting CLL-1 (CLL-11) and targeting CD33 (CD33.7) were used as controls to confirm the expression of antigens intargets.
[0333] Antigen binding assay showed that both DC-3 and DC-3-28HTM dual-CAR T cells had simultaneous expression of CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CAR (also named CD33 CCR) (Figure 3B).
[0334] Co-culture cytokine release assays demonstrated that DC-3 had evident leakage to CLL-LCD33+AML cells, while DC-3-28HTM showed drastically reduced IFNy release upon the encounter of CLL-1‘CD33+HL-60 cells (Figure 3C) and U-937 cells (Figure 3D), suggesting that the abrogation of CAR dimerization using different H / TM domains in dual-CAR constructs can substantially eliminate leakage to CD33-single positive targets. Moreover, further luciferase killing assays showed that DC-3-28HTM dual-CAR T cells possessed differential potency in killing CLL-1 / CD33 single positive and double positive HL-60 cells (Figure 3E) and U-937 cells (Figure 3F). This is consistent with the reduced leakage / IFNy production as DC-3-28HTM dual-CAR T cells kills CLL-1+CD33+WT AML cells much more efficiently than the CD33-single positive AML cells.
[0335] Since using alternative hinge / TM domains for CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR in a dual-CAR construct led to remarkably reduced leakage to CLL-1 CD33+targets, we tested dual-CAR construct formats with different sets of hinge / TM domains. The "-28HTM" format had H / TM domains from CD8a for CLL-1 CAR before P2A and H / TM domains from CD28 for CD33 CCR after P2A, while the "28-8" format had H / TM domains from CD28 for CLL-1 CAR before P2A and H / TM domains from CD8a for CD33 CCR after P2A (Figure 4A). In addition, to test the impact of signal peptide (SP) on CAR expression and CAR-T potency, we replaced the second CD8 SP of DC-3-28HTM dual-CAR with the SP of CD28 and generated DC-3-8-28 dual-CAR (Figure 4A). All three dual-CAR constructs can render simultaneous CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR expression in T cells, as evidenced by antigen binding assays (Figure 4B). Potency evaluation using co-culture cytokine release measurement confirmed that all three dual-CARs were able to significantly reduce leakage to CLL-1 CD33+targets, and the DC-3-8-28 dual-CAR T cells showed slightly decreased levels of IFNy production upon activation by WT targets (Figure 4C and Figure 4D). Therefore, we considered the "-28-8" format as another favorable dual-CAR framework, and this was also supported by DC-3-28-8 dual-CAR T cells’ differential killing of CLL-1 CD33+AML cells and CLL-1+CD33+AML cells in luciferase killing assays (Figure 4E and Figure 4F). We noticed that DC-3-28HTM (Figures 3E, 3F) and DC-3-28-8 (Figure 4E, 4F) dual-CAR T cells appeared to kill CLL-UCD33 AML cells and CLL-1+CD33+AML cellscomparably, although more IFNy was released upon T-cell engagement with the CLL-1+CD33+WT targets. This may be due to that the CLL-1 CD33+AML cells could be more sensitive to T-cell mediated killing signal than the WT AML cells.
[0336] Next, candidate anti-CLL-1 VHHs were obtained through camelid immunization and library screening (Figure 15). A total of 12 unique anti-CLL-1 VHHs were identified and the fusion proteins consisting of the individual VHH and the Fc portion of human IgGl with C220A mutation were produced (Figure 5A). In vitro antigen binding assay using recombinant hCLL-1-His protein was performed, and most anti-CLL-1 VHHs showed an EC50 as low as 0.098 nM to 0.32 nM, except CLL-A11 showed the highest EC50 as 0.834 nM (Figure 5B). Moreover, Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assay was conducted to determine the binding affinity of these VHHs, and they demonstrated KD values from 0.1 nM to 99.8 nM (Figure 5C). Further characterization by incubating candidate VHHs with CLL-1 -overexpressing A549 cells (Figure 5D), HL-60 cells (Figure 5E) and U-937 cells (Figure 5F) showed that these VHHs can bind to tested cell lines.
[0337] Further characterization of anti-CLL-1 VHHs were performed through using these VHHs as binders in a 2ndgeneration mono-CAR format with SP / H / TM domains from CD8a, 4- IBB costimulatory domain and CD3(^ signaling domain (Figure 6A). Antigen binding assays with CLL-1-hFc recombinant protein demonstrated that the CLL-Ax mono-CARs had good CAR expression as the positive control CARs with a benchmark binder (CLL-06, CLL-10, and CLL-11) (Figure 6B). These CLL-Ax CAR-T cells were co-cultured with WT HL-60 cells (Figure 6C). CLL-1 single knock out (sKO) HL-60 cells (Figure 6D), WT U-937 cells (Figure 6E), and CLL-1 sKO U-937 cells (Figure 6F). IFNy quantitation results demonstrated that most candidate VHHs released a large amount of IFNy upon CLL-1 antigen engagement, and CLL-A02, CLL-A03 showed lower levels of IFNy production. In addition, except CLL-A12, which produced IFNy at -700 pg / mL upon encounter of CLL-l-sKO U-937 cells, other CLL-Ax (CLL-A01 to CLL-A11) CARs showed good specificity (Figure 6F). Subsequent luciferase killing assays confirmed the superior potency of all candidate CLL-Ax CAR-T cells in killing HL-60 cells (Figure 7A) and U-937 cells (Figure 7B).
[0338] Similar characterizations of anti-CD33 VHHs were performed using CD33-Bx recombinant fusion protein (Figures 8A-8F) and CD33-Bx CAR-T cells (Figures 9A-9F). The CD33-Bx recombinant proteins consisted of the individual VHH and the Fc portion of human IgGl with C220A mutation (Figure 8A). The EC50 values of 11 anti-CD33 VHHs, including CD33-B01to CD33-B11, were determined by ELISA, and these VHHs showed an EC50 as low as 0.096 nM to 0.660 nM, except CD33-B08 showed the highest EC50 as 1.639 nM (Figure 8B). SPR assay determined that these VHHs had good binding affinity with KD values from 0.4 nM to 92.5 nM (Figure 8C). Additional characterization by incubating candidate VHHs with CD33-0 verexpressing A549 cells (Figure 8D), HL-60 cells (Figure 8E) and U-937 cells (Figure 8F) showed that most VHHs can bind well to tested cell lines, except that CD33-B07 and CD33-B08 had poor binding to CD33-OE A549 cells.
[0339] The applicability of CD33-Bx VHHs as a binder in a CAR construct was also evaluated in the same 2udgeneration mono-CAR format (Figure 9A). As the positive control CARs with a benchmark binder (CD33.7, CD33.16, and CD33.17), all the CD33-Bx CAR-T cells showed good antigen binding ability (Figure 9B). These CD33-Bx CAR-T cells were co-cultured with WT HL-60 cells (Figure 9C), CD33 sKO HL-60 cells (Figure 9D), WT U-937 cells (Figure 9E), and CD33 sKO U-937 cells (Figure 9F). IFNy quantitation results demonstrated that most candidate VHHs released a large amount of IFNy upon CD33 antigen engagement, and CD33-B02, CD33-B03, CD33-B10, and CD33-B11 showed lower levels of IFNy production. In addition, except CD33-B07 and CD33-B08, which produced IFNy at -500 pg / mL and -1400 pg / mL upon encounter of CD33 sKO HL-60 cells and CD33 sKO U-937 cells, respectively, other CD33-Bx CARs (CD33-B01 to CD33-B06, CD33-B09 to CD33-B11) showed good specificity (Figure 9F).
[0340] Through comparing the antigen binding ability and potency of VHH-containing mono-specific CAR-T cells (CLL-A01 to CLL-A12; CD33-B01 to CD33-B11), we substantiated the suitability of these VHHs in a dual-CAR construct. As a result, CLL-A04 / A07 / A09 and CD33-B04 / B06 / B11 were identified as lead anti-CLL-1 and anti-CD33 VHHs, respectively. We next performed the comparative tests of the AxBy dual-CAR structures (A04 / A07 / A09 x B04 / B06 / B 11) in the "-28HTM" framework, in which the CLL-1 CAR before P2A consisted of SP of CD8a, CLL-Ax binder, H / TM domains of CD8a and CD3z signaling domain, while the CD33 CCR after P2A included SP of CD8a, CD33-By binder, H / TM domains of CD28 and 4- IBB co-stimulatory domain (Figure 10A). Subsequent antigen binding assays and potency evaluation also included the 2udgeneration mono-CARs with a lead VHH binder (CLL-A04 / A07 / A09 and CD33-B04 / B06 / B11). All the AxBy-28HTM dual-CAR T cells (x=04 / 07 / 09, y=04 / 06 / ll) displayed simultaneous CLL-1 CAR and CD33-CCR expression, as evidenced by binding of CLL-1 -hFc and CD33-His proteins (Figure 10B). Remarkably, all the AxBy-28HTM dual-CAR T cells showeddifferential IFNy release when co-cultured with HL-60 cells (Figure 10C) and U-937 cells (Figure 10D) of four genotypes with minimal leakage to CLL-1 CD33+targets. Notably, our AxBy-28HTM candidates exhibited much higher levels of IFNy release than the benchmark DC-3-28HTM upon activation by WT HL-60 targets, but they still produced very low levels of IFNy after engagement with the CLL-LCD33+HL-60 cells.
[0341] Since we previously identified the "-28-8" framework as another suitable format for dualCAR to achieve differential potency against single antigen- and double antigens-expressing target cells (Figures 4A-4F), we designed new constructs to perform side-by-side comparison of the "-28HTM" and "28-8" frameworks. Additional two dual-CAR constructs (A09B06-28-8 and A09B11-28-8) with CLL-A09 and CD33-B06 or CD33-B11 VHH combinations were compared with the A09B06-28HTM and A09B11-28HTM dual-CARs (Figure 11A). While the "A09By-28HTM" dual-CAR T cells (y=06 or 11) displayed good binding to both CLL-l-hFc protein and CD33-His protein, the "A09By-28-8" dual-CAR T cells exhibited good binding to CD33-His protein but poor binding to CLL-l-hFc protein (Figure 11B). Although these A09By-28-8 T cells showed differential potency in terms of IFNy release upon co-culture with HL-60 cells (Figure 11C) and U-937 cells (Figure 11D) of four genotypes, they produced much lower levels of IFNy than their counterpart "-28HTM" T cells after activation by WT AML cells, most likely due to their poor binding to CLL-1 antigen (Figure 11B). However, our previous results demonstrated that DC-3-28HTM and DC-3-28-8 dual-CAR T cells exhibited comparable antigen binding ability and overall potency (Figures 4A-4F). This divergence implies that different combinations of anti-CLL-1 VHH and anti-CD33 VHH could confer dual-CAR T cells varied ability in recognizing dual antigens simultaneously, which is possibly related to steric hindrance effects caused by overexpressed CAR / CCR and varied epitope accessibility of paired VHHs.
[0342] We chose A07B11-28HTM as one of our lead CLL-l / CD33-specific dual-CAR constructs (Figure 12A) and demonstrated that A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells possess differential potency against CLL-1 / CD33 single-positive AML cells versus double-positive AML cells. First, we confirmed the simultaneous expression of anti-CLL-1 CAR and anti-CD33 CAR in A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells, as measured by the binding of hFc-tagged CLL- 1 recombinant protein and His-tagged CD33 recombinant protein (Figure 12B). The mono-specific 2ndgeneration CARs with the same binder sequence as A07B11-28HTM, directed by CLL-1 (CLL-sCAR) or CD33 (CD33-sCAR), were constructed as controls.IFNy release after coculturing with target cells was used to evaluate the potency of CAR-T cells. The control T (NTD) and three CAR-T (CLL-A07 mono-CAR / CD33-Bll mono-CAR / A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR) groups exhibited drastically different patterns of IFNy production upon activation by disparately expressed CLL-1 / CD33 antigens from HL-60-Luc2 cells and U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells (Figure 12C) of four different genotypes. As expected, the NTD group only produced background levels of IFNy. While CLL- 1- directed and CD33-directed mono-specific CAR-T cells (CLL-A07 and CD33-B11) showed significantly high levels of IFNy release only upon activation by corresponding antigen-positive target cells. A07B11-28HTM group exhibited differential IFNy production in responding to single-positive antigen versus doublepositive antigens, and produced the highest levels of IFNy upon dual-targeting (Figure 12C).
[0343] It is worth noting that mono-CAR T cells (CLL-A07 and CD33-B11) released comparable levels of IFNy between the activation by single-positive antigen (CLL-1+CD33‘ or CLL-FCD33+) and double-positive antigens (CLL-1+CD33+), suggesting that the single KO target cells and wild type target cells had comparable abundance of CLL-1 / CD33 antigen. This excluded the possibility of uneven antigen abundance as the cause of differential IFNy production observed in A07B11-28HTM T cells.
[0344] To verify the differential cytotoxic effect of A07B11-28HTM, the luciferase-based killing assays using AML cells of four genotypes were conducted. After incubating A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells with HL-60-Luc2 cells or U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells (Figure 12D) overnight at different effector-to-target (E: T) ratios, the remaining viable cells were lysed, and the released luciferase was quantified by enzyme activity measurement (luciferase activity is proportional to the number of live target cells). In each cell line, the relative light unit (RLU) value of the group with an E: T ratio of 0:1 (i.e., only AML target cells) was set to 100%. Notably, A07B11-28HTM T cells exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against CLL-1+CD33+wild type and CLL-1 singlepositive AML cells, while showing no or only weak cytotoxic activity against CD33 singlepositive AML cells, even at high E:T ratios (Figure 12D). Therefore, these results indicate A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells can effectively eliminate CLL-1 -positive malignant target cells in vitro and largely avoid the killing of normal cells that only express the CD33 antigen (such as hematopoietic stem cells and hepatocytes).
[0345] To test whether combining a CAR and a CCR can enhance T cell sensitivity to low antigen density, we studied whether the CLL-1 / CD33 dual-CAR T cells with the "-28HTM" and "-28-8"framework were able to kill the tumor cells with a low expression level of the primary antigen CLL-1. M0LM13 is a human AML cell line and has a high level of CD33 expression but a low level of CLL-1 expression (CLL-llow / CD33+). As shown in Figure 14, the 2ndgeneration anti-CD33 mono-CAR T cells (CD33.16) efficiently (100%) eradicated CLL-llow / ’CD33+MOLM13 cells at a higher E:T ratio (1:1), while the 2ndgeneration anti-CLL-1 mono-CAR-T cells (CLL-11) can only eliminate -50% cells. However, the CLL-1 / CD33 dual-targeting dual-CAR T cells (DC-3-28HTM and DC-3-28-8) displayed more efficient (-80%) killing of MOLM13 cells than the CLL-11 CAR-T cells (Figure 14). Therefore, co-targeting of CLL-1 and CD33 can enhance the killing of CLL- llow / CD33+AML blasts, thus potentially significantly reducing the chance of AML relapse or delaying the occurrence of AML relapse. Multiplexing targeting and co-stimulation through the combination of a CLL- 1 -directed CAR and a CD33-directed CCR might be a powerful strategy to enhancing cytotoxic efficacy and improve the clinical outcomes through preventing relapses of AML clones with a low CLL-1 antigen density.
[0346] Conclusions
[0347] The in vitro evaluation by coculturing AxBy-28HTM dual-CAR T cells and human AML cells (HL-60-Luc2 and U-937-GFP-Luc2) with disparately expressed CLL-1 / CD33 antigens showed that A07B11-28HTM T cells exhibited differential potency against single-positive target versus double-positive targets. A07B11-28HTM T cells can effectively eliminate CLL-1 / CD33-double positive target cells while largely sparing the CD33-single positive targets, thus reducing the hematotoxicity and hepatotoxicity caused by CD33 single targeting. This study provides evidence on the superior efficacy and improved safety of CLL-l / CD33-directed dual-CAR T cells.
[0348] Example 2
[0349] of Recombination-deletion
[0350] Recombination-deletion of homologous nucleic acid cassettes in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) vectors occurs when duplicated DNA sequences (e.g., in multi-cistronic designs) undergo intra- vector deletion, resulting in the loss of one or more transgene components. This phenomenon frequently occurs in retroviral and len ti viral vectors, where high homology between cassettes leads to efficient, unintended deletion, impairing the production of complex "designer T cells" [Im et al., Recombination-Deletion between Homologous Cassettes in Retrovirus Is Suppressed Via aStrategy of Degenerate Codon Substitution." Mol. Ther. Methods Clin. Dev., (2014) 1: 14022. Lam et al., Development of a Bicistronic Anti-CD19 / CD20 Car Construct Including Abrogation of Unexpected Nucleic Acid Sequence Deletions. Mol. Ther. Oncolytics, (2023) 30: 132-49.]
[0351] Key Aspects of Recombination-Deletion in CARs
[0352] Mechanism: When two or more functional domains are highly similar, they can pair during reverse transcription, leading to homologous recombination that deletes the intervening DNA.
[0353] Impact: This reduces the efficacy of, for example, dual-chain CAR T cell therapies by preventing the expression of both designed receptors, as one is often excised.
[0354] Solution: A degenerate codon substitution strategy can be used to minimize sequence homology between repeated domains.
[0355] Effectiveness: Reducing domain homology can significantly suppress the deletion rate to levels indistinguishable from controls, ensuring stable, simultaneous expression of multiple genes.
[0356] This method allows for the engineering of more complex T cell functionalities without the instability caused by sequence repetition, facilitating the development of advanced CAR-based immunotherapies.
[0357] Accumulating studies found that, during the reverse transcription of retroviral and lentiviral vector RNA into transgene DNA of transduced T cells, homologous nucleic acid cassettes in CAR vectors often cause the loss of bicistronic construct transgene DNA. Our previous work identified A07B11-28HTM as one of the leading dual-CAR candidates for treating AML (Figures 12A-12D).
[0358] To decrease the possible loss of A07B11-28HTM construct nucleic acid sequence by recombination-deletion, we optimized the DNA sequence to reduce repeated regions of highly similar sequences within the CAR construct and the whole viral vector.
[0359] The codon-optimized version of A07B11-28HTM (V3.2) involves DNA synonymous substitution in multiple CAR construct domains (CD8a SP, CD8a H / TM, and VHH binder) and shares the same amino acid sequence with the proto A07B11-28HTM.
[0360] Subsequent comparative studies show that V3.2 demonstrated similar patterns of CLL-1 CAR and CD33 CCR expressions as A07B11-28HTM, implying the frequency of transgenes expressed after recombination-deletion in A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells is very low.
[0361] In addition, further functional characterization using two target systems (AML cells withphysiological levels of CLL-1 / CD33 antigen expression and A549 cells with antigen ectopic overexpression) suggests that A07B11-28HTM-V3.2 and A07B11-28HTM exhibit very comparable patterns of activity against the targets of four genotypes (CLL-1 CD33 , CLL-1 CD33+, CLL-1+CD33 , and CLL-1+CD33+).
[0362] Results
[0363] To evaluate whether the codon optimization can affect the antigen binding ability and potency of A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells, we performed side-by-side experiments comparing the A07B11-28HTM and A07B11-28HTM-V3.2 (V3.2) constructs. As shown in Figure 13A, V3.2 demonstrated comparable antigen binding ability to CLL-l-hFc protein and CD33-His protein as A07B11-28HTM, which implies that the frequency of transgenes expressed after potential recombination-deletion in A07B11-28HTM dual-CAR T cells is low.
[0364] In addition, further functional characterizations using two target systems (AML cells with physiological levels of CLL-1 / CD33 antigen expression and A549 cells with antigen ectopic overexpression) were performed. A07B11-28HTM and V3.2 displayed similar differential IFNy release after co-culturing with HL-60 cells and U-937 cells of four genotypes (CLL-1 CD33-, CLL-1 CD33+, CLL-1+CD33 , and CLL-1+CD33+) (Figure 13B), and limited killing of CD33-single positive HL-60 cells (Figure 13C). In addition, these dual-CAR T cells exhibited very limited potency to CD33-OE A549 cells and strong potency to CLL-1 -positive A549 cells (CLL-OE and CLL-1 / CD33 double OE), as evidenced by the co-culture IFNy release assay and the xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) assay (Figure 13D).
[0365] Conclusions
[0366] Collectively, A07B11-28HTM-V3.2 and A07B11-28HTM exhibit very comparable patterns of activity against the CLL-l / CD33-expressing targets. The codon-optimized dual-CAR constructs with reduction of recombination-deletion and verified functionality are more favorable for clinical trials.
[0367] Materials and Methods
[0368] Materials
[0369] AML target cells and T cellsHuman AML cell lines HL-60-Luc2 (catalogue number CCL-240-LUC2™) and U-937 (catalogue number CRL- 1593.2™) were originally purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). HL-60-Luc2 cells were cultured in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 20% (v / v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% (v / v) Penicillin-Streptomycin (100 units / mL penicillin and 100 pg / mL streptomycin), and Blasticidin to a final concentration of 8pg / mL. U-937 cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPML1640) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin. All cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2. To create luciferase-expressing target cells, wild type (WT) U-937 cells were infected with GFP-Luc2 overexpression lentivirus, and single clones of U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells were obtained by the limiting dilution method.
[0370] To generate CLL-1 / CD33 single knockout (KO) and double KO AML targets. HL-60-Luc2 cells and U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells (single clone SC-06) were electroporated to deliver the ribonucleoprotein complexes (crRNA: tracrRNA: Cas9) using the Alt-R™ CRISPR-Cas9 System from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). CLL-1 crRNA #1 (Hs.Cas9.CLEC12A.l.AA) and CD33 crRNA #3 (CD33_CrRNA_3) were identified to be verified sgRNA / crRNA for knocking out CLL-1 and CD33, respectively. At 5 days after nucleofection, limiting dilution was performed to obtain single clones of HL-60-Luc2 cells and U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells with desired genotypes: WT (CLL-UCD33+), CLL-1 sKO (CLL-1 CD33+), CD33 sKO (CLL-UCD33 ), and dKO (CLL-1 CD33).
[0371] Human T cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of heathy donors, and the PBMCs were sourced from cryopreserved Leukopaks of HemaCare® (Charles River, catalogue number PB001LCLP4-Kit). T cells were activated with Dynabeads™ Human T-Activator CD3 / CD28 for 3 days and then transduced with CLL-1 CAR / CD33 CCR-expressing lentivirus (AxBy duaLCAR) or left non-transduced (NTD).

[0391] Lentivirus preparation
[0392] 293T cells were seeded onto the Poly-D-Lysine pre-treated 6-well plate at a concentration of 2xl0e6 cells in 2 mL complete culture medium (DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units / mL penicillin and 100 pg / mL streptomycin) per well. The next day, 293T cells reached a 70%-90% confluency. The vims packaging plasmids, including the shared helper plasmids (CBMG-PRP2-K: 0.78 pg; CBMG-PRP3-K: 0.36 pg; CBMG-PRM2-K: 0.46 pg; per well) andthe individual lentiviral plasmid (dual-CAR or mono-CAR: 2.14 pg; per well), were mixed and transfected into 293T cells using Lipofectamine™ 3000 Transfection Reagent following the manufacturer's protocol. Around 24 hours after plasmids transfection, the old culture medium was replaced with 3 mL complete DMEM culture medium. Around 70 hours after plasmids transfection, culture medium was collected and subjected to spinning down at 1000 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant containing lentiviral particles were further concentrated using Lenti-X™ Concentrator following the manufacturer's protocol, and the aliquots of 50 pL concentrated viral particles were stored at -80°C.
[0393] CAR-T cell preparation
[0394] Human T cells were isolated from the Leukopak with the CliniMACS Prodigy (Miltenyi Biotec) and cryopreserved using CryoStor® CS10. On Day 0, the cryopreserved T cells were thawed, and seeded in a 24- well plate at the concentration of lxl0e6 -2x10e6 cells / mL (2x10e6 - 4xl0e6 cells / well; <2 mL / well) in AIM V medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units / mL penicillin, 100 pg / mL streptomycin, and 200 ZU / mL human IL-2 (complete T cell medium). T cells were activated with Human T-Activator CD3 / CD28 Dynabeads™ (T cell: Bead = 1:1) for 3 days. On Day 3, T cells were infected with lentiviral particles encoding the desired CAR (e.g., dual-CAR and mono-CAR) through spinoculation at 2000 g for 2 hours at 32°C, or left un-infected (non-transduced T cells, NTD). On Day 4 - Day 9, T cells were expanded in complete T cell medium with addition of new medium every day.
[0395] Flow cytometry
[0396] HL-60-Luc2 cells, U-937-GFP-Luc2 cells, and M0LM13 cells (~lxl0e5 cells / test) were stained with PE-conjugated anti-human CLL-1 antibody (2 pL / test) and APC-conjugated antihuman CD33 antibody (2 pL / test) in staining buffer (DPBS supplemented with 2% FBS, 100 pL / test) at 4°C for 25 min.
[0397] Control non-transduced (NTD) T cells and CAR T cells (dual-CAR and mono-CAR, -IxlO5cells / test on Day 5 - Day 7) were washed with DPBS twice (1 mL / tube) to remove serum in the culture medium and then stained with LIVE / DEAD™ Aqua (1:1000 dilution in DPBS) at 4°C for 20 min following the manufacturer's protocol. After washing with DPBS, T cells were incubated with hFc-tagged human CLL-1 recombinant protein (0.1 pg / pL, 1 pL / test) and His-tagged human CD33 recombinant protein (0.1 pg / pL, 1 pL / test) at 4°C for 30 min. Cells were washed with 1 mL staining buffer twice, and further incubated with the following reagents: Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated goat anti-human IgG AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment (1:100 dilution) and PE anti-His tag antibody (2 pL / test). The volume for the incubation of T cells with the mixed reagents was -100 pL / test. After incubation at 4°C for 25 min, cells were washed with 1 mL staining buffer and subjected to flow analysis. Samples were acquired on the CytoFLEX LX Flow Cytometer. All data were analyzed with the FlowJo V10 software (BD Biosciences).
[0398] For determining the binding ability of anti-CLL-1 or anti-CD33 VHHs to antigenexpressing A549 cells and AML cells (HL-60 and U-937), these target cells were incubated with VHH proteins at the specified concentrations at 4°C for 30 min. After washing with staining buffer twice, cells were further incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-hFc antibody and were subjected to flow cytometrical analysis after washing.
[0399] T cells and target cells co-culturing assays
[0400] Control non-transduced (NTD) T cells and CAR-T cells on Day 6 - Day 9, e.g., Day 8 (4-7 days, e.g., 5 days, after lentivirus transduction) were counted and washed twice with basal AIM V medium (supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units / mL penicillin, 100 pg / mL streptomycin, and no IL-2) to remove residual IL-2 in the culture medium.
[0401] The pellets of T cells and target cells (HL-60-Luc2, U-937-GFP-Luc2 and A549 cells, each cell line with 4 genotypes: CLL-1+CD33+, CLL-1 CD33+, CLL-1+CD33 , and CLL-1 CD33 ) were resuspended in basal AIM V medium to reach the concentration of 5xl0e5 cells / mL (AML cells) or 2xl0e5 cells / mL (A549 cells).
[0402] AML cells / A549 cells were seeded into a 96-well round / flat-bottom plate at 100 pL / well (5xl0e4 cells / well or 2xl0e4 cells / well) with three replicated wells for each group. T cells (NTD, CLL-1 / CD33 mono-CAR or dual-CAR T) were seeded into the same plate at 100 pL / well (5xl0e4 total or CAR+T cells / well) in 100 pL AIM V basal medium. The wells of the T cell-only group contained 100 pL T cells and 100 pL AIM V basal medium.
[0403] After mixing cells with a multi-channel pipette, T cells and AML cells were co-cultured at 37°C in an incubator for about 22 hours. Cell culture supernatant was collected and frozen as needed at -20°C for subsequent cytokine measurements.Quantification of IFN y in coculture supernatants
[0404] The concentration of cytotoxic cytokine IFNy in co-culture supernatants was measured using BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Human Thl / Th2 Cytokine Kit II following the manufacturer's instructions with minor modifications. Briefly, fresh Human Thl / Th2 Cytokine Standards were prepared by diluting the lyophilized proteins with 2 mL Assay Diluent; 100 pL of the Top Standard was further diluted with 100 LIL Assay Diluent to get the 1:2 diluted standard. Then, 1:2 serial dilutions were performed, and a series of standards (top, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128, 1:256, Assay Diluent only) were obtained.
[0405] The supernatants from the co-cultures of CAR-T cells (dual-CAR and CLL-1 mono-CAR) and target cells (e.g., CLL-1+AML cells) were diluted 2-3 folds as needed with the basal AIM V medium, and all other sample groups were undiluted. Samples / Standards, mixed CBA beads, and PE-detection reagents were added in the wells of a 96-well V-bottom plate at the ratio of 1:1:1 (5 pL: 5 pL: 5 pL), and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 3 hours on a rocking shaker. Beads were then washed with 200 pL washing buffer (centrifugation at 200 g, 5 min) and resuspended in 120 pL DPBS. Samples were applied to the CytoFLEX LX Flow Cytometer in Plate Mode, and at least 1000 beads events in the gated beads population were collected for each sample. Flow data were analyzed with FlowJo V10 software, and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values of PE from the Standards were used for plotting the standard curve. The IFNy level of samples was calculated based on the standard curve, and data were plotted using GraphPad Prism 9 (GraphPad Software). Results are shown as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of three replicates from one representative donor.
[0406] Luciferase killing assay
[0407] The luciferase-expressing AML cells (lOOpL / well, 5xl0e5 cells / well; HL-60-Luc2 and U-937-GFP-luc2, each cell line with 4 genotypes: CLL-1+CD33+. CLL-TCD33+, CLL-PCD33’. and CLL-1 CD33 ) were seeded into the 96-well solid white round bottom plates with three replicated wells for each group. CAR-T (e.g., dual-CAR) T cells at various Effector: Target (E : T) ratios were seeded into the same 96-well plates. The culture medium for the co-culture as well as effector 1:2 serial dilution was IL-2-free and phenol-red free, 10% FBS- supplemented Gibco™ CTS™ AIM-V™ Medium. A group of AML cells-only samples were included as the no-killing controls to calculate the % of relative light unit (RLU).After overnight coculture (-22 hours), the assay plates were subjected to luciferase activity measurements using the lysis reagent and substrate from Promega following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells were centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min at 4 °C, and 150 pL cell supernatant per well was removed without dislodging bottom cells. Luciferase Cell Culture Lysis Reagent (CCLR; 20 pL / well) was added and cells were lysed at room temperature for 20-25 min. Then, substrate (50 pL / well) was dispensed into each well and the substrate and cell-lysed solution were mixed in wells by pipetting 2-3 times. With 10 min - 20 min after substrate addition, the RLU values of each group were obtained by reading the plates using a SpectraMax iD3 microplate reader (Molecular Devices).
[0408] The % of RLU to the control AML cells-only group is calculated to determine the potency of CAR-T cells using the following formula: % of RLU = [RLU of the (Effector + Target) group] / RLU of the Target-only group x 100%. Results are shown as the mean ± SD of three replicates from one representative donor.
[0409] Cytotoxicity assays using the xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) system
[0410] (1) Day 0: wild type A549 cells (A549-WT) and A549 cells with antigen overexpression (CLL-1-OE, CD33-OE, and CLL-l / CD33-dOE) were seeded when the cells reached -70-90% contluency. The target cell lines were passaged and counted, and the number of cells needed was calculated. (2) 50 pL target cell medium (DMEM with 10% FBS and Pen / Strep for A549 cells) was added to all the wells on the RTCA e-plates for the Step 1 baseline read. The RTCA machine was set up according to plate layouts, and each row and column were labeled accordingly.
[0411] (3) After baseline reading, 50 pL / well of A549 target cells (2xl0e4 cells / well) were added to the appropriate rows / columns on the e-plates with a multichannel pipette and reservoirs. The e-plates were incubated in the biological safety cabinet for -30 mins to equilibrate at room temperature. The e-plates were placed back in the RTCA incubator reader to start Step 2 (1000 sweeps. 15 min interval).
[0412] (4) Day 1 (-24 hours after seeding A549 cells in e-plates): T cells were harvested and 1:2 serial dilutions were performed in AIM V basal medium (with 10% FBS and Pen / Strep) to get T cells for desired concentrations. The T cells were plated in the RTCA e-plates with specified E:T ratios (8:1, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 0.5:1, 0:1). 100 pL of AIM V basal medium was added to the wells with target cells only.(5) The e-plates were placed back in the RTCA incubator reader and Step 2 of the RTCA program resumed. The RTCA instrument was allowed to monitor impedance for a desired duration with readings taken every 15 min.
[0413] (6) After releasing the RTCA running, result analysis was performed and RTCA data were exported into an Excel file with the information of parameters including normalized Cell Index, growth graph, and % of Cytolysis. The % of Cytolysis is calculated using the following formula: % of Cytolysis = [Normalized Cell Index of the Target only group - Normalized Cell Index of the (Effector + Target) group] / Normalized Cell Index of the Target only group x 100%. Results were graphed with the GraphPad Prism 9 software and shown as the mean ± SD of three replicates.
[0414] VHH antibody production
[0415] (1) Alpaca immunization. Adult alpacas were subcutaneously immunized with recombinant human CLL-l-His (His65-Ala265, UniProt Accession No. Q5QGZ9) protein or recombinant human CD33-hFc or CD33-His (Aspl8-His259, UniProt Accession No. P20138) proteins (involved Freund's complete adjuvant and Freund's incomplete adjuvant) once every other week or every week for 3-6 times. Alpaca blood was collected 7 days after the third to sixth immunizations and used for the determination of antibody titer and PBMCs isolation.
[0416] (2) Serum titer determination. Serum antibody titer was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, diluted human CLL-l-His protein or CD33-His protein was used as an antigen to coat a 96-well plate. After blocking, gradient-diluted serum was applied to the wells, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. After washing the plate, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-alpaca IgG (H+L) (Jackson / 128-035-160; 1:10000 dilution) or rabbit anti-camelid VHH (GenScript / A01861; 1:10000 dilution) was added. After incubation and washing, the TMB color developing solution was added. Further, the termination solution was added, and OD450nm was obtained.
[0417] (3) Amplification of VHH antibody sequences. Lymphocytes from immunized alpacas were extracted using a camel peripheral blood lymphocyte extraction kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. The total RNA of lymphocytes was extracted using an RNA extraction kit, and the cDNA was prepared using a reverse transcription kit. VHHs from cDNA were amplified by two-round PCR: the first round was performed using the total cDNA as templates, while the second round used the 700-bp products of the first round PCR (recovered from 1% agarose gelelectrophoresis) as templates.
[0418] (4) VHH phage library generation. Amplified VHHs were inserted into phagemids and further transduced into E. coli via electroporation. The transformed cells were cultured overnight on LB solid medium. Then, 48 single clones were randomly selected for bacterial liquid PCR and subsequent sequencing. Library size (VHH capacity 10e8 - 10e9) and insertion ratios (>90%) were determined after sequencing and verified to meet the requirements of library diversity.
[0419] (5) Phage display panning and screening. A total of 3 rounds of solid-phase panning were performed to enrich positive clones and increase phage titer. Monoclonal ELISA screening was used for solid-phase panning. Briefly, a 96-well plate was coated with the recombinant human CLL-l-His or CD33-His protein, and the analyte and the secondary antibody (HRP-conjugated mouse anti-FLAG, FLAG is the tag protein of phagemid vector; Sigma, A8592 / SLCF0816, 1:10000 dilution) were added sequentially after appropriate plate washing and blocking. The wells with secondary antibody only (in the absence of monoclonal supernatant) were considered as a blank group. After color development with TMB reagent, the OD450nm value was measured. The phage clones with the qualified OD450nm value (> 3 folds of blank) were selected for amplification, plasmid extraction and sequencing.
[0420] (6) VHH antibody characterization. The unique clones of selected VHHs were subjected to gene synthesis, subcloning, plasmid preparation, transient expression and protein purification. The purified VHH antibodies (SDS-PAGE >95%, endotoxin level <lEU / mg) were further characterized by ELISA to determine the EC50 (half-maximal effective concentration) and by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assay to determine VHH binding affinity (KD).
[0421] For ELISA, human IgGl-Fc linked VHHs (VHH-hFc) at various concentrations were incubated with plate-bound His-tagged recombinant antigen protein (CLL-l-His or CD33-His). HRP-conjugated anti-human IgG-Fc 2nd antibody was applied and OD450nm values were obtained to calculate EC50.
[0422] For SPR, VHH-hFc proteins at 1 pg / mL or 2 pg / mL were used as the capture ligand (10 pL / min, capture about 386-569 RU for anti-CLL-1 VHH and 238-862 RU for anti-CD33 VHH). The association / dissociation flow rate was set as 30 pL / min with association for 100 sec and dissociation for 120-200 sec, while the regeneration flow rate was 30 pL / min for 30 sec. The Glycine-HCl buffer (pH1.5. lOmM) was used for washing.SEQUENCES
