FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies that specifically bind a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA), comprising a first Fab fragment and a second Fab fragment, wherein either the variable regions or the constant regions of the second Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged; and wherein the bispecific antibody does not comprise a Fc domain; methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing said antibodies, and uses thereof.

BACKGROUND

[0004] The selective destruction of an individual cell or a specific cell type is often desirable in a variety of clinical settings. For example, it is a primary goal of cancer therapy to specifically destroy tumor cells, while leaving healthy cells and tissues undamaged. One approach is to selectively induce an immune response against the tumor, which triggers the attack and subsequent destruction of tumor cells by immune effector cells such as natural killer (NK) cells or cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). CTLs constitute the most potent effector cells of the immune system, however they cannot be activated by the effector mechanism mediated by the Fc domain of conventional therapeutic antibodies. In this regard, bispecific antibodies which are able to bind to a surface antigen on cancer cells and to an activating invariant component of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex have become of interest in recent years. The simultaneous binding of the bispecific antibody to both of its targets forces a temporary interaction between cancer cell and T cell, causing activation of cytotoxic T cells and subsequent lysis of the tumor cell.

[0005] Several bispecific antibody formats have been developed and their suitability for T cell mediated cancer immunotherapy investigated. Out of these, the so-called BiTE (bispecific T cell engager) molecules have been very well characterized and already shown some promising results in the clinic (reviewed in Nagorsen and Bauerle, Exp Cell Res 317, 1255-1260 (2011)). BiTEs are tandem scFv molecules wherein two scFv molecules are fused by a flexible linker. Further bispecific formats being evaluated for T cell engagement include diabodies (Holliger et al., Prot Eng 9, 299-305 (1996)) and derivatives thereof, such as tandem diabodies (Kipriyanov et al., J Mol Biol 293, 41-66 (1999)). A more recent development are the so-called DART (dual affinity retargeting) molecules, which are based on the diabody format but feature a C-terminal disulfide bridge for additional stabilization (Moore et al., Blood 117, 4542-51 (2011)). The so-called triomabs, which are whole hybrid mouse/rat IgG molecules and also currently being evaluated in clinical trials, represent a larger sized format (reviewed in Seimetz et al., Cancer Treat Rev 36, 458-467 (2010)).

[0006] However, the bispecific antibodies developed for T cell mediated cancer immunotherapy known so far have major drawbacks relating to their efficacy, toxicity and applicability. Small constructs such as, for example, BiTE molecules--while being able to efficiently crosslink effector and target cells--have a very short serum half life requiring them to be administered to patients by continuous infusion. IgG-like formats on the other hand--while having the great benefit of a long half life--suffer from toxicity associated with the native effector functions inherent to IgG molecules. This immunogenic potential constitutes another unfavorable feature of IgG-like bispecific antibodies, for successful therapeutic development. Finally, a major challenge in the general development of bispecific antibodies remains the production of bispecific antibody constructs at a clinically sufficient quantity and purity. The mispairing of antibody heavy and light chains of different specificities upon co-expression, decreases the yield of the correctly assembled construct and results in a number of non-functional side products.

[0007] Given the difficulties and disadvantages associated with currently available bispecific antibodies for T cell mediated cancer immunotherapy, there remains a need for novel, improved formats of such molecules. These drawbacks have now been overcome with the new bispecific antibodies of the invention. The new bispecific antibodies can be easily produced with an increased yield due to a decreased amount of mispaired side-products, which show less aggregation than bispecific antibody fragments known in the art. Using the crossover approach correct LC association can be enforced without the need for the generation of a common light chain. In addition, the new the new bispecific antibodies has a higher molecular weight compared to many conventional bispecific antibody fragments, thus preventing excessive kidney clearance and leading to an improved half-life in vivo. The new bispecific antibodies are fully functional and have comparable or improved binding and activity as corresponding conventional bispecific antibodies.

[0008] The present invention provides bispecific antigen binding molecules designed for T cell activation and re-direction that combine good efficacy and produceability with low toxicity and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.

SUMMARY

[0009] The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies that specifically bind a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA), comprising a first Fab fragment and a second Fab fragment, wherein either the variable regions or the constant regions of the second Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged; and wherein the bispecific antibody does not comprise a Fc domain.

[0010] The antibodies of the invention specifically bind to a Tumor Antigen on the surface of a tumor cell and at the same time bind to T-cell activating antigen. By that the bispecific antibody is capable to elecit an immune response specifically at the site of the tumor, subsequently resulting in apoptosis of the target cell.

[0015] The bispecific antibodies according to the invention are at least bivalent and can be trivalent or multivalent e.g. tetravalent or hexavalent. In one embodiment said bispecific antibodies are bivalent (1+1 format) with one binding site each targeting a Tumor Antigen (TA) and a T-cell activating antigen, respectively. In another embodiment said bispecific antibodies are trivalent (2+1 format) with two binding sites each targeting a Tumor Antigen (TA) and one binding site targeting a T-cell activating antigen, as detailed in the following section. In a preferred embodiment said a T-cell activating antigen is CD3.

The constructs with bivalent MCSP-targeting show comparable cytotoxic activity compared to the "(scFv)2" construct, whereas the "Fab-Crossfab" construct with monovalent MCSP binding is clearly less potent.

[0029] FIG. 11: Comparison of the hu Fab(MCSP)-Fab(MCSP)-Crossfab(CD3) (="(Fab)2-Crossfab") and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) (="(scFv)2") construct, Depicted is the LDH release from MDA-MB-435 tumor cells upon co-culture with human pan T cells (E/T ratio=5:1), and activation for 21 hours by different concentrations of the bispecific constructs and corresponding IgGs. The "(Fab)2-Crossfab" induces apoptosis in target cells at least comparably good as the (scFv)2 molecule.

[0030] FIG. 12: Comparison of the hu Fab(MCSP)-Fab(MCSP)-Crossfab(CD3) (="(Fab)2-Crossfab") and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) (="(scFv)2") construct. Depicted is the LDH release from MV-3 human melanoma tumor cells upon co-culture with human PBMCs (E/T ratio=10:1), and activation for 26 hours by different concentrations of the bispecific constructs and corresponding IgGs. The "(Fab)2-Crossfab" induces apoptosis in target cells at least comparably good as the (scFv)2 molecule.

The effector to target cell ratio was 5:1. The assay was analyzed after incubation for 23.5 hours at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2. The construct induces concentration-dependent, T cell-mediated apoptosis of human MCSP-expressing target cells.

[0032] FIG. 14: LDH release from B16/F10-huMCSP Fluc2, clone 48 tumor cells, induced by primary murine T cell activation with 50 nM of the murine Crossfab(CD3)-Fab(MCSP)-Fab(MCSP) construct (=(Fab)2-CrossFab), targeting human MCSP, as well as the murine CD3. The effector to target cell ratio was 5:1. The assay was analyzed after incubation for 23.5 hours at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2. The construct induces T cell-mediated apoptosis of human MCSP-expressing target cells. There is only weak hyperactivation of T cells at this concentration of the construct.

[0033] FIG. 15: Different cytokine levels measured in the supernatant of whole blood after treatment with 1 nM of different CD3-MCSP bispecific constructs (hu Fab(MCSP)-Fab(MCSP)-Crossfab(CD3) (="(Fab)2-Crossfab") and (scFv).sub.2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) (="(scFv)2")) in the presence (A, B) or absence (C,D) of Colo-38 tumor cells for 24 hours. 280 .mu.l whole blood were plated per well of a 96-well plate and 30 000 Colo-38 cells added, as indicated. The main cytokine that was secreted upon activation of T cells in the presence of Colo-38 tumor cells, is IL-6, followed by IFNgamma. In addition, also the levels of granzyme B increased enormously upon activation of T cells in the presence of target cells. In general, the "(scFv)2" construct elevated the levels of TNF and IFNgamma, as well as granzyme B in the presence of target cells (A and B) a bit more compared to the other bispecific construct.

[0034] There was no significant secretion of Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) upon activation of T cells by the bispecific constructs in the presence (or absence) of target cells. In this assay there was also a weak secretion of IFNgamma, induced by the "(Fab)2-Crossfab" construct in the absence of target cells.

Depicted is the expression level of the late activation marker CD25 on CD8+ T cells after 70 hours. Up-regulation of CD25 on CD8+ T cells with the (Fab)2-CrossFab construct occurs only in the presence of target cells. The reference IgGs, used adjusted to the same molarity, were not able to up-regulate CD25.

The "1+1 non-Fc" construct induces apoptosis in MV-3 target cells with a calculated EC50 of 25.4 pM, whereas the calculated EC50 for the "(scFv)2" reference molecule is 57 pM, showing a slight better potency of the "1+1 non-Fc" molecule in terms of EC50.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

I. Definitions

[0043] "Framework" or "FR" refers to variable domain residues other than hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain generally consists of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Accordingly, the HVR and FR sequences generally appear in the following sequence in VH (or VL): FR1-H1(L1)-FR2-H2(L2)-FR3-H3(L3)-FR4.

[0044] An "acceptor human framework" for the purposes herein is a framework comprising the amino acid sequence of a light chain variable domain (VL) framework or a heavy chain variable domain (VH) framework derived from a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework, as defined below. An acceptor human framework "derived from" a human immunoglobulin framework or a human consensus framework may comprise the same amino acid sequence thereof, or it may contain amino acid sequence changes. In some embodiments, the number of amino acid changes are 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less. In some embodiments, the VL acceptor human framework is identical in sequence to the VL human immunoglobulin framework sequence or human consensus framework sequence.

[0045] A "human consensus framework" is a framework which represents the most commonly occurring amino acid residues in a selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework sequences. Generally, the selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH sequences is from a subgroup of variable domain sequences. Generally, the subgroup of sequences is a subgroup as in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242, Bethesda Md. (1991), vols. 1-3. In one embodiment, for the VL, the subgroup is subgroup kappa I as in Kabat et al., supra. In one embodiment, for the VH, the subgroup is subgroup III as in Kabat et al., supra.

[0046] The term "hypervariable region" or "HVR," as used herein, refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence and/or form structurally defined loops ("hypervariable loops"). Generally, native four-chain antibodies comprise six HVRs; three in the VH(H1, H2, H3), and three in the VL (L1, L2, L3). HVRs generally comprise amino acid residues from the hypervariable loops and/or from the "complementarity determining regions" (CDRs), the latter being of highest sequence variability and/or involved in antigen recognition. Exemplary hypervariable loops occur at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), 91-96 (L3), 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3). (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987).) Exemplary CDRs (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3, CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3) occur at amino acid residues 24-34 of L1, 50-56 of L2, 89-97 of L3, 31-35B of H1, 50-65 of H2, and 95-102 of H3. (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991).) The terms hypervariable regions (HVRs) and complementarity determining regions (CDRs), are used herein interchangeably in reference to portions of the variable region that form the antigen binding regions. This particular region has been described by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest" (1983) and by Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987), where the definitions include overlapping or subsets of amino acid residues when compared against each other. Nevertheless, application of either definition to refer to a CDR of an antibody or variants thereof is intended to be within the scope of the term as defined and used herein. The appropriate amino acid residues which encompass the CDRs as defined by each of the above cited references are set forth below in Table 1 as a comparison. The exact residue numbers which encompass a particular CDR will vary depending on the sequence and size of the CDR. Those skilled in the art can routinely determine which residues comprise a particular CDR given the variable region amino acid sequence of the antibody.

(see below). .sup.2"AbM" with a lowercase "b" as used in Table 1 refers to the CDRs as defined by Oxford Molecular's "AbM" antibody modeling software.

[0047] Kabat et al. also defined a numbering system for variable region sequences that is applicable to any antibody. One of ordinary skill in the art can unambiguously assign this system of "Kabat numbering" to any variable region sequence, without reliance on any experimental data beyond the sequence itself. As used herein, "Kabat numbering" refers to the numbering system set forth by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, "Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest" (1983). Unless otherwise specified, references to the numbering of specific amino acid residue positions in an antibody variable region are according to the Kabat numbering system.

[0048] With the exception of CDR1 in VH, CDRs generally comprise the amino acid residues that form the hypervariable loops. CDRs also comprise "specificity determining residues," or "SDRs," which are residues that contact antigen. SDRs are contained within regions of the CDRs called abbreviated-CDRs, or a-CDRs. Exemplary a-CDRs (a-CDR-L1, a-CDR-L2, a-CDR-L3, a-CDR-H1, a-CDR-H2, and a-CDR-H3) occur at amino acid residues 31-34 of L1, 50-55 of L2, 89-96 of L3, 31-35B of H1, 50-58 of H2, and 95-102 of H3. (See Almagro and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633 (2008).) Unless otherwise indicated, HVR residues and other residues in the variable domain (e.g., FR residues) are numbered herein according to Kabat et al., supra.

[0049] The term "antibody" herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. In particular the term "antibody" includes the bispecific antibodies of the invention comprising at least two fab fragments but no Fc domain.

[0050] The term "bispecific" means that the antigen binding molecule is able to specifically bind to at least two distinct antigenic determinants. In certain embodiments the bispecific antigen binding molecule is capable of simultaneously binding two antigenic determinants, particularly two antigenic determinants expressed on two distinct cells.

[0051] The term "monovalent binding to an antigen" means that not more than one antigen comprised in the antibody specifically binds to that antigen.

[0052] A "human antibody" is one which possesses an amino acid sequence which corresponds to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell or derived from a non-human source that utilizes human antibody repertoires or other human antibody-encoding sequences. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen-binding residues.

[0053] The term "recombinant human antibody", as used herein, is intended to include all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies isolated from a host cell such as a NS0 or CHO cell or from an animal (e.g. a mouse) that is transgenic for human immunoglobulin genes or antibodies expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell. Such recombinant human antibodies have variable and constant regions in a rearranged form. The recombinant human antibodies according to the invention have been subjected to in vivo somatic hypermutation. Thus, the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germ line VH and VL sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germ line repertoire in vivo.

[0054] A "humanized" antibody refers to a chimeric antibody comprising amino acid residues from non-human HVRs and amino acid residues from human FRs. In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the HVRs (e.g., CDRs) correspond to those of a non-human antibody, and all or substantially all of the FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody optionally may comprise at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. A "humanized form" of an antibody, e.g., a non-human antibody, refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization. Other forms of "humanized antibodies" encompassed by the present invention are those in which the constant region has been additionally modified or changed from that of the original antibody to generate the properties according to the invention, especially in regard to C1q binding and/or Fc receptor (FcR) binding.

[0055] The term "chimeric" antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a different source or species, usually prepared by recombinant DNA techniques. Chimeric antibodies comprising a murine variable region and a human constant region are preferred. Other preferred forms of "chimeric antibodies" encompassed by the present invention are those in which the constant region has been modified or changed from that of the original antibody to generate the properties according to the invention, especially in regard to C1q binding and/or Fc receptor (FcR) binding. Such chimeric antibodies are also referred to as "class-switched antibodies". Chimeric antibodies are the product of expressed immunoglobulin genes comprising DNA segments encoding immunoglobulin variable regions and DNA segments encoding immunoglobulin constant regions. Methods for producing chimeric antibodies involve conventional recombinant DNA and gene transfection techniques are well known in the art. See e.g. Morrison, S. L., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81 (1984) 6851-6855; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,202,238 and 5,204,244.

[0056] The term "monoclonal antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, such methods and other exemplary methods for making monoclonal antibodies being described herein.

[0057] An "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab').sub.2; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g. scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. scFv antibodies are, e.g. described in Houston, J. S., Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991) 46-96). In addition, antibody fragments comprise single chain polypeptides having the characteristics of a VH domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VL domain, or of a VL domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VH domain to a functional antigen binding site and thereby providing the antigen binding property of full length antibodies.

[0058] As used herein, "Fab fragment" refers to an antibody fragment comprising a light chain fragment comprising a VL domain and a constant domain of a light chain (CL), and a VH domain and a first constant domain (CH1) of a heavy chain. The bispecific antibodies of the invention comprise at least two Fab fragments, wherein either the variable regions or the constant regions of the heavy and light chain of the second Fab fragment are exchanged. Due to the exchange of either the variable regions or the constant regions, said second Fab fragment is also referred to as "cross-Fab" fragment or "xFab" fragment or "crossover Fab" fragment. Two different chain compositions of a crossover Fab molecule are possible and comprised in the bispecific antibodies of the invention: On the one hand, the variable regions of the Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged, i.e. the crossover Fab molecule comprises a peptide chain composed of the light chain variable region (VL) and the heavy chain constant region (CH1), and a peptide chain composed of the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain constant region (CL). This crossover Fab molecule is also referred to as CrossFab.sub.(VLVH). On the other hand, when the constant regions of the Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged, the crossover Fab molecule comprises a peptide chain composed of the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain constant region (CL), and a peptide chain composed of the light chain variable region (VL) and the heavy chain constant region (CH1). This crossover Fab molecule is also referred to as CrossFab.sub.(CLCH1).

[0059] In one embodiment said Fab fragments are connected via a peptide linker. By "connected" is meant that the Fab fragments are linked by peptide bonds, either directly or via one or more peptide linker.

The term "peptide linker" as used within the invention denotes a peptide with amino acid sequences, which is preferably of synthetic origin. These peptide linkers according to invention are used to connect one of the Fab fragments to the C- or N-terminus of the other Fab fragment to form a multispecific antibody according to the invention. Preferably said peptide linkers are peptides with an amino acid sequence with a length of at least 5 amino acids, preferably with a length of 5 to 100, more preferably of 10 to 50 amino acids. In one embodiment said peptide linker is (G.times.S)n or (G.times.S)nGm with G=glycine, S=serine, and (x=3, n=3, 4, 5 or 6, and m=0, 1, 2 or 3) or (x=4, n=2, 3, 4 or 5 and m=0, 1, 2 or 3), preferably x=4 and n=2 or 3, more preferably with x=4, n=2. Additionally, linkers may comprise (a portion of) an immunoglobulin hinge region. In one embodiment said peptide linker is (G.sub.4S).sub.2 (SEQ ID: NO 28). Other peptide linkers suitable for connecting the Fab fragments, for example, (G.sub.4S).sub.6-GG (SEQ ID NO: 147) or (SG.sub.3).sub.2-(SEG.sub.3).sub.4-(SG.sub.3)-SG (SEQ ID NO: 148), or EPKSC(D)-(G.sub.4S).sub.2 (SEQ ID NOs 145 and 146).

[0060] The terms "antigen binding domain" refers to the part of an antigen binding molecule that comprises the area which specifically binds to and is complementary to part or all of an antigen. Where an antigen is large, an antigen binding molecule may only bind to a particular part of the antigen, which part is termed an epitope. An antigen binding domain may be provided by, for example, one or more antibody variable domains (also called antibody variable regions). Preferably, an antigen binding domain comprises an antibody light chain variable region (VL) and an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH).

[0061] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to antigen. The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain (VH and VL, respectively) of a native antibody generally have similar structures, with each domain comprising four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three hypervariable regions (HVRs). (See, e.g., Kindt et al. Kuby Immunology, 6.sup.th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co., page 91 (2007).) A single VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind a particular antigen may be isolated using a VH or VL domain from an antibody that binds the antigen to screen a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively. See, e.g., Portolano et al., J. Immunol. 150:880-887 (1993); Clarkson et al., Nature 352:624-628 (1991).

[0062] The term "antigen-binding site of an antibody" when used herein refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody which are responsible for antigen-binding. The antigen-binding portion of an antibody comprises amino acid residues from the "complementary determining regions" or "CDRs". "Framework" or "FR" regions are those variable domain regions other than the hypervariable region residues as herein defined. Therefore, the light and heavy chain variable domains of an antibody comprise from N- to C-terminus the domains FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. Especially, CDR3 of the heavy chain is the region which contributes most to antigen binding and defines the antibody's properties. CDR and FR regions are determined according to the standard definition of Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed., Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991) and/or those residues from a "hypervariable loop".

[0063] The term "epitope" includes any polypeptide determinant capable of specific binding to an antibody. In certain embodiments, epitope determinant include chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl, or sulfonyl, and, in certain embodiments, may have specific three dimensional structural characteristics, and or specific charge characteristics. An epitope is a region of an antigen that is bound by an antibody.

[0064] The term "Fc domain" herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. For example in natural antibodies, the Fc domain is composed of two identical protein fragments, derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody's two heavy chains in IgG, IgA and IgD isotypes; IgM and IgE Fc domains contain three heavy chain constant domains (C.sub.H domains 2-4) in each polypeptide chain. The bispecific antibodies of the invention are devoid of the Fc domain. "Devoid of the Fc domain" as used herein means that the bispecific antibodies of the invention do not comprise a CH2, CH3 or CH4 domain; i.e. the constant heavy chain consists solely of one or more CH1 domains.

[0065] "Affinity" refers to the strength of the sum total of noncovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, "binding affinity" refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Specific illustrative and exemplary embodiments for measuring binding affinity are described in the following.

[0066] As used herein, the term "binding" or "specifically binding" means that the binding is selective for the antigen and can be discriminated from unwanted or non-specific interactions. The ability of an antigen binding moiety to bind to a specific antigenic determinant can be measured either through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other techniques familiar to one of skill in the art, e.g. surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique (analyzed on a BIAcore instrument) (Liljeblad et al., Glyco J 17, 323-329 (2000)), and traditional binding assays (Heeley, Endocr Res 28, 217-229 (2002)). In one embodiment, the extent of binding of an antibody to an unrelated protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to the antigen as measured, e.g., by SPR. In certain embodiments, an antigen binding moiety that binds to the antigen, or an antigen binding molecule comprising that antigen binding moiety, has a dissociation constant (K.sub.D) of .ltoreq.1 .mu.M, .ltoreq.100 nM, .ltoreq.10 nM, .ltoreq.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.01 nM, or .ltoreq.0.001 nM (e.g. 10.sup.-8 M or less, e.g. from 10.sup.-8 M to 10.sup.-13 M, e.g., from 10.sup.-9M to 10.sup.-13 M).

[0067] In one embodiment, the extent of binding of a bispecific antibody that specifically binds to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) to an unrelated protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to a T-cell activating antigen or a Tumor Antigen (TA) as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA) or flow cytometry (FACS). In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody that specifically binds T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) has a dissociation constant (KD) of .ltoreq.1 .mu.M, .ltoreq.100 nM, .ltoreq.10 nM, .ltoreq.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.01 nM, or .ltoreq.0.001 nM (e.g. 10.sup.-8M or less, e.g. from 10.sup.-8M to 10.sup.-13M, e.g., from 10.sup.-9M to 10.sup.-13 M). In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody that specifically binds a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) binds to an epitope of a T-cell activating antigen or a Tumor Antigen (TA) that is conserved among a T-cell activating antigen or a Tumor Antigen (TA) from different species.

[0068] An "affinity matured" antibody refers to an antibody with one or more alterations in one or more hypervariable regions (HVRs), compared to a parent antibody which does not possess such alterations, such alterations resulting in an improvement in the affinity of the antibody for antigen.

[0069] The terms "A bispecific antibody that specifically binds a T cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA)" refers to a bispecific antibody that is capable of binding a T cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful in mediating a T-cell mediated immune response in or near cells expressing a Tumor Antigen. In a particular embodiment the T cell activating antigen is the CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor (CD3) antigen, particularly human or cynomolgus CD3, most particularly human CD3. In some embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the epsilon subunit of CD3. In other embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the alpha or beta subunit of CD3.

[0070] In one embodiment, the bispecific antibody that specifically binds a T cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) can compete with monoclonal antibody H2C (described in PCT publication no. WO2008/119567) for binding an epitope of CD3. In another embodiment, the bispecific antibody that specifically binds a T cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) can compete with monoclonal antibody V9 (described in Rodrigues et al., Int J Cancer Suppl 7, 45-50 (1992) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,054,297) for binding an epitope of CD3. In yet another embodiment, the bispecific antibody that specifically binds a T cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) can compete with monoclonal antibody FN18 (described in Nooij et al., Eur J Immunol 19, 981-984 (1986)) for binding an epitope of CD3.

[0071] An "activating T cell antigen" as used herein refers to an antigenic determinant expressed on the surface of a T lymphocyte, particularly a cytotoxic T lymphocyte, which is capable of inducing T cell activation upon interaction with an antigen binding molecule. Specifically, interaction of an antigen binding molecule with an activating T cell antigen may induce T cell activation by triggering the signaling cascade of the T cell receptor complex. In a particular embodiment the activating T cell antigen is CD3.

[0072] "T cell activation" as used herein refers to one or more cellular response of a T lymphocyte, particularly a cytotoxic T lymphocyte, selected from: proliferation, differentiation, cytokine secretion, cytotoxic effector molecule release, cytotoxic activity, and expression of activation markers. The T cell activating bispecific antigen binding molecules of the invention are capable of inducing T cell activation. Suitable assays to measure T cell activation are known in the art described herein.

[0073] The term "CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor (CD3)", as used herein, refers to a protein complex and is composed of four distinct chains. In mammals, the complex contains a CD3.gamma. chain, a CD3.delta. chain, and two CD3.epsilon. chains. These chains associate with a molecule known as the T cell receptor (TCR) and the .zeta.-chain to generate an activation signal in T lymphocytes. The term "CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor (CD3)" includes any native CD3 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g. humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated, preferably from a human source. The term encompasses "full-length," unprocessed CD3 as well as any form of CD3 that results from processing in the cell. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of CD3, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. In a preferred embodiment, the term CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor refers to human or cynomolgus CD3, particularly human CD3. In some embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the epsilon subunit of CD3. In other embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the alpha or beta subunit of CD3. An exemplary sequence of human CD3 is given in SEQ ID NO.: 103.

[0074] The term "Tumor Antigen (TA)", as used herein, refers to tumor-associated antigens as well as tumor-specific antigens, i.e. any immunogenic epitope (e.g., protein) expressed by a tumor cell. The protein may be expressed by non tumor cells but be immunogenic only when expressed by a tumor cell. Alternatively, the protein may be expressed by tumor cells, but not normal cells. Preferably, an anti-TA antibody of the invention binds to the extracellular domain of TA. In one preferred embodiment said Tumor Antigen is a human Tumor Antigen. Exemplary Tumor Antigens include but are not limited to Melanoma-associated Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan (MCSP, UniProt Q6UVK1, NCBI Accession NP.sub.--001888), Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP, Uni Prot Q12884, Q86Z29, Q99998; NCBI Accession NP.sub.--004451), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, also known as ErbB1 and Her1, UniProt P00533; NCBI Accession NP.sub.--958439, NP.sub.--958440), Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA, also known as Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 or CD66e; UniProt P06731, NCBI Accession NP.sub.--004354) and CD33 (also known as gp76 or Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (Siglec-3), UniProt P20138, NCBI Accession NP.sub.--001076087, NP.sub.--001171079).

[0075] In one embodiment the bispecific antibody of the invention comprises at least one antigen binding site that is specific for Melanoma-associated Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan (MCSP).

[0076] In one embodiment the bispecific antibody of the invention comprises at least one antigen binding site that is specific for CD33.

[0077] Antibody specificity refers to selective recognition of the antibody for a particular epitope of an antigen. Natural antibodies, for example, are monospecific. "Bispecific antibodies" according to the invention are antibodies which have two different antigen-binding specificities. Antibodies of the present invention are specific for two different antigens, i.e. a T-Cell activating antigen as first antigen and a Tumor Antigen as second antigen.

[0078] The term "monospecific" antibody as used herein denotes an antibody that has one or more binding sites each of which bind to the same epitope of the same antigen.

[0079] The term "bispecific" antibody as used herein denotes an antibody that has at least two binding sites each of which bind to different epitopes of the same antigen or a different antigen.

[0080] The antibody provided herein is a multispecific antibody, e.g. a bispecific antibody. Multispecific antibodies are monoclonal antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different sites. Provided herein is a bispecific antibody, with binding specificities for a Tumor Antigen (TA) and a T-cell activating antigen. In certain embodiments, bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of TA. Bispecific antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells which express TA.

[0081] The term "valent" as used within the current application denotes the presence of a specified number of binding sites in an antibody molecule. As such, the terms "bivalent", "tetravalent", and "hexavalent" denote the presence of two binding sites, four binding sites, and six binding sites, respectively, in an antibody molecule. The bispecific antibodies according to the invention are at least "bivalent" and may be "trivalent" or "multivalent" (e.g."tetravalent" or "hexavalent").

[0082] Antibodies of the present invention have two or more binding sites and are bispecific. That is, the antibodies may be bispecific even in cases where there are more than two binding sites (i.e. that the antibody is trivalent or multivalent).

[0083] An "antibody that binds to the same epitope" as a reference antibody refers to an antibody that blocks binding of the reference antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more, and conversely, the reference antibody blocks binding of the antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more. An exemplary competition assay is provided herein.

[0084] "No substantial cross-reactivity" means that a molecule (e.g., an antibody) does not recognize or specifically bind an antigen different from the actual target antigen of the molecule (e.g. an antigen closely related to the target antigen), particularly when compared to that target antigen. For example, an antibody may bind less than about 10% to less than about 5% to an antigen different from the actual target antigen, or may bind said antigen different from the actual target antigen at an amount selected from the group consisting of less than about 10%, 9%, 8% 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.2%, or 0.1%, preferably less than about 2%, 1%, or 0.5%, and most preferably less than about 0.2% or 0.1% antigen different from the actual target antigen.

[0085] "Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc., and the source code has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif., or may be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, including digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.

[0086] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:

100 times the fraction X/Y

where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.

[0087] An "isolated" antibody is one which has been separated from a component of its natural environment. In some embodiments, an antibody is purified to greater than 95% or 99% purity as determined by, for example, electrophoretic (e.g., SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis) or chromatographic (e.g., ion exchange or reverse phase HPLC). For review of methods for assessment of antibody purity, see, e.g., Flatman et al., J. Chromatogr. B 848:79-87 (2007).

Certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of nucleic acids to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as "expression vectors."

[0092] As used herein, the expressions "cell", "cell line", and "cell culture" are used interchangeably and all such designations include progeny. Thus, the words "transfectants" and "transfected cells" include the primary subject cell and cultures derived there from without regard for the number of transfers. It is also understood that all progeny may not be precisely identical in DNA content, due to deliberate or inadvertent mutations. Variant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened for in the originally transformed cell are included.

II. Compositions and Methods

[0105] In one aspect, the invention is based, in part, on bispecific antibodies comprising a first antigen binding site specific for a T-cell activating antigen and a second antigen binding site specific for a Tumor Antigen (TA). Antibodies of the invention are useful, e.g., for the treatment of cancer.

[0106] A. Exemplary Bispecific Antibodies that Bind to a T-Cell Activating Antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA)

[0107] The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies combining a T-cell activating antigen binding site with a second antigen binding site that targets a Tumor Antigen (TA). The antibodies of the invention specifically bind to a Tumor Antigen on the surface of a tumor cell and at the same time bind to an antigen on the surface of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Preferably said antigen is a CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor (CD3) antigen. The bispecific antibody is capable to elicit an immune response specifically at the site of the tumor, subsequently resulting in apoptosis of the target cell.

[0108] In a particular embodiment according to the invention, the T cell activating bispecific antibody is capable of simultaneous binding to a tumor cell antigen, and an activating T cell antigen. In one embodiment, the T cell activating bispecific antibody is capable of crosslinking a T cell and a tumor cell by simultaneous binding to a tumor cell antigen and an activating T cell antigen. In an even more particular embodiment, such simultaneous binding results in lysis of the tumor cell. In one embodiment, such simultaneous binding results in activation of the T cell. In other embodiments, such simultaneous binding results in a cellular response of a T lymphocyte, particularly a cytotoxic T lymphocyte, selected from the group of: proliferation, differentiation, cytokine secretion, cytotoxic effector molecule release, cytotoxic activity, and expression of activation markers. In one embodiment, binding of the T cell activating bispecific antibody to the activating T cell antigen without simultaneous binding to the target cell antigen does not result in T cell activation.

In one embodiment, the T cell activating bispecific antibody is capable of re-directing cytotoxic activity of a T cell to a target cell. In a particular embodiment, said re-direction is independent of MHC-mediated peptide antigen presentation by the target cell and/or specificity of the T cell. Particularly, a T cell according to any of the embodiments of the invention is a cytotoxic T cell. In some embodiments the T cell is a CD4.sup.+ or a CD8.sup.+ T cell, particularly a CD8.sup.+ T cell.

[0109] In one embodiment bispecific antibodies are provided that specifically bind a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA), comprising a first Fab fragment and a second Fab fragment, wherein either the variable regions or the constant regions of the second Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged; and wherein the bispecific antibody does not comprise a Fc domain.

[0111] In a particular embodiment the T cell activating antigen is the CD3 T-Cell Co-Receptor (CD3) antigen, particularly human or cynomolgus CD3, most particularly human CD3. In some embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the epsilon subunit of CD3. In other embodiments, the T cell activating antigen is the alpha or beta subunit of CD3.

[0226] In a further aspect, a bispecific antibody according to any of the above embodiments may incorporate any of the features, singly or in combination, as described in Sections 1-5 below:

[0227] 1. Antibody Affinity

[0228] The affinity of the T cell activating bispecific antibody for a target antigen can be determined in accordance with the methods set forth in the Examples by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), using standard instrumentation such as a BIAcore instrument (GE Healthcare), and receptors or target proteins such as may be obtained by recombinant expression. Alternatively, binding of T cell activating bispecific antibodies for different receptors or target antigens may be evaluated using cell lines expressing the particular receptor or target antigen, for example by flow cytometry (FACS).

[0229] In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody provided herein has a dissociation constant (KD) of .ltoreq.1 .mu.M, .ltoreq.100 nM, .ltoreq.10 nM, .ltoreq.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.1 nM, .ltoreq.0.01 nM, or .ltoreq.0.001 nM (e.g. 10.sup.-8M or less, e.g. from 10.sup.-8M to 10.sup.-13M, e.g., from 10.sup.-9M to 10.sup.-13 M).

[0230] According to one embodiment, KD is measured using surface plasmon resonance assays using a BIACORE.RTM.-2000 or a BIACORE.RTM.-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.) at 25.degree. C. with immobilized antigen CM5 chips at .about.10 response units (RU). Briefly, carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chips (CM5, BIACORE, Inc.) are activated with N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. Antigen is diluted with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8, to 5 .mu.g/ml (.about.0.2 .mu.M) before injection at a flow rate of 5 .mu.l/minute to achieve approximately 10 response units (RU) of coupled protein. Following the injection of antigen, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block unreacted groups. For kinetics measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected in PBS with 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20.TM.) surfactant (PBST) at 25.degree. C. at a flow rate of approximately 25 .mu.l/min. Association rates (ka or k.sub.on) and dissociation rates (kd or k.sub.off) are calculated using a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE.RTM. Evaluation Software version 3.2) by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensorgrams. The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) is calculated as the ratio k.sub.off/k.sub.on. See, e.g., Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881 (1999). If the on-rate exceeds 10.sup.6 M.sup.-1 s.sup.-1 by the surface plasmon resonance assay above, then the on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescent quenching technique that measures the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation=295 nm; emission=340 nm, 16 nm band-pass) at 25.degree. C. of a 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS, pH 7.2, in the presence of increasing concentrations of antigen as measured in a spectrometer, such as a stop-flow equipped spectrophometer (Aviv Instruments) or a 8000-series SLM-AMINCO.TM. spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) with a stirred cuvette.

[0231] 2. Chimeric and Humanized Antibodies

[0232] In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody provided herein is a chimeric antibody. Certain chimeric antibodies are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). In one example, a chimeric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In a further example, a chimeric antibody is a "class switched" antibody in which the class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody. Chimeric antibodies include antigen-binding fragments thereof.

[0233] In certain embodiments, a chimeric antibody is a humanized antibody. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized to reduce immunogenicity to humans, while retaining the specificity and affinity of the parental non-human antibody. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable domains in which HVRs, e.g., CDRs, (or portions thereof) are derived from a non-human antibody, and FRs (or portions thereof) are derived from human antibody sequences. A humanized antibody optionally will also comprise at least a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, some FR residues in a humanized antibody are substituted with corresponding residues from a non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the HVR residues are derived), e.g., to restore or improve antibody specificity or affinity.

[0234] Humanized antibodies and methods of making them are reviewed, e.g., in Almagro and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633 (2008), and are further described, e.g., in Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); Queen et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86:10029-10033 (1989); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,821,337, 7,527,791, 6,982,321, and 7,087,409; Kashmiri et al., Methods 36:25-34 (2005) (describing SDR (a-CDR) grafting); Padlan, Mol. Immunol. 28:489-498 (1991) (describing "resurfacing"); Dall'Acqua et al., Methods 36:43-60 (2005) (describing "FR shuffling"); and Osbourn et al., Methods 36:61-68 (2005) and Klimka et al., Br. J. Cancer, 83:252-260 (2000) (describing the "guided selection" approach to FR shuffling).

[0235] Human framework regions that may be used for humanization include but are not limited to: framework regions selected using the "best-fit" method (see, e.g., Sims et al. J. Immunol. 151:2296 (1993)); framework regions derived from the consensus sequence of human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chain variable regions (see, e.g., Carter et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:4285 (1992); and Presta et al. J. Immunol., 151:2623 (1993)); human mature (somatically mutated) framework regions or human germline framework regions (see, e.g., Almagro and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13:1619-1633 (2008)); and framework regions derived from screening FR libraries (see, e.g., Baca et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272:10678-10684 (1997) and Rosok et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:22611-22618 (1996)).

[0236] 3. Human Antibodies

[0237] In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody provided herein is a human antibody. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are described generally in van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5: 368-74 (2001) and Lonberg, Curr. Opin. Immunol. 20:450-459 (2008).

[0238] Human antibodies may be prepared by administering an immunogen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigenic challenge. Such animals typically contain all or a portion of the human immunoglobulin loci, which replace the endogenous immunoglobulin loci, or which are present extrachromosomally or integrated randomly into the animal's chromosomes. In such transgenic mice, the endogenous immunoglobulin loci have generally been inactivated. For review of methods for obtaining human antibodies from transgenic animals, see Lonberg, Nat. Biotech. 23:1117-1125 (2005). See also, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 describing XENOMOUSE.TM. technology; U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,429 describing HUMAB.RTM. technology; U.S. Pat. No. 7,041,870 describing K-M MOUSE.RTM. technology, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2007/0061900, describing VELOCIMOUSE.RTM. technology). Human variable regions from intact antibodies generated by such animals may be further modified, e.g., by combining with a different human constant region.

[0239] Human antibodies can also be made by hybridoma-based methods. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines for the production of human monoclonal antibodies have been described. (See, e.g., Kozbor J. Immunol., 133: 3001 (1984); Brodeur et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, pp. 51-63 (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1987); and Boerner et al., J. Immunol., 147: 86 (1991).) Human antibodies generated via human B-cell hybridoma technology are also described in Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006). Additional methods include those described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,826 (describing production of monoclonal human IgM antibodies from hybridoma cell lines) and Ni, Xiandai Mianyixue, 26(4):265-268 (2006) (describing human-human hybridomas). Human hybridoma technology (Trioma technology) is also described in Vollmers and Brandlein, Histology and Histopathology, 20(3):927-937 (2005) and Vollmers and Brandlein, Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, 27(3):185-91 (2005).

[0240] Human antibodies may also be generated by isolating Fv clone variable domain sequences selected from human-derived phage display libraries. Such variable domain sequences may then be combined with a desired human constant domain. Techniques for selecting human antibodies from antibody libraries are described below.

[0241] 4. Library-Derived Antibodies

[0242] Bispecific antibodies of the invention may be isolated by screening combinatorial libraries for antibodies with the desired activity or activities. For example, a variety of methods are known in the art for generating phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies possessing the desired binding characteristics. Such methods are reviewed, e.g., in Hoogenboom et al. in Methods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., 2001) and further described, e.g., in the McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-554; Clackson et al., Nature 352: 624-628 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222: 581-597 (1992); Marks and Bradbury, in Methods in Molecular Biology 248:161-175 (Lo, ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003); Sidhu et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2): 299-310 (2004); Lee et al., J. Mol. Biol. 340(5): 1073-1093 (2004); Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34): 12467-12472 (2004); and Lee et al., J. Immunol. Methods 284(1-2): 119-132 (2004).

[0243] In certain phage display methods, repertoires of VH and VL genes are separately cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombined randomly in phage libraries, which can then be screened for antigen-binding phage as described in Winter et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol., 12: 433-455 (1994). Phage typically display antibody fragments, either as single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or as Fab fragments. Libraries from immunized sources provide high-affinity antibodies to the immunogen without the requirement of constructing hybridomas. Alternatively, the naive repertoire can be cloned (e.g., from human) to provide a single source of antibodies to a wide range of non-self and also self antigens without any immunization as described by Griffiths et al., EMBO J, 12: 725-734 (1993). Finally, naive libraries can also be made synthetically by cloning unrearranged V-gene segments from stem cells, and using PCR primers containing random sequence to encode the highly variable CDR3 regions and to accomplish rearrangement in vitro, as described by Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227: 381-388 (1992). Patent publications describing human antibody phage libraries include, for example: U.S. Pat. No. 5,750,373, and US Patent Publication Nos. 2005/0079574, 2005/0119455, 2005/0266000, 2007/0117126, 2007/0160598, 2007/0237764, 2007/0292936, and 2009/0002360.

[0244] Antibodies or antibody fragments isolated from human antibody libraries are considered human antibodies or human antibody fragments herein.

[0245] 5. Antibody Variants

[0246] In certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the bispecific antibodies provided herein are contemplated. For example, it may be desirable to improve the binding affinity and/or other biological properties of the bispecific antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of a bispecific antibody may be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the bispecific antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequences of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g., antigen-binding.

[0247] a) Substitution, Insertion, and Deletion Variants

[0248] In certain embodiments, antibody variants having one or more amino acid substitutions are provided. Sites of interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the HVRs and FRs. Conservative substitutions are shown in Table 1 under the heading of "conservative substitutions." More substantial changes are provided in Table 1 under the heading of "exemplary substitutions," and as further described below in reference to amino acid side chain classes. Amino acid substitutions may be introduced into an antibody of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, e.g., retained/improved antigen binding or decreased immunogenicity.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 1 Original Exemplary Preferred Residue Substitutions Substitutions Ala (A) Val; Leu; Ile Val Arg (R) Lys; Gln; Asn Lys Asn (N) Gln; His; Asp, Lys; Arg Gln Asp (D) Glu; Asn Glu Cys (C) Ser; Ala Ser Gln (Q) Asn; Glu Asn Glu (E) Asp; Gln Asp Gly (G) Ala Ala His (H) Asn; Gln; Lys; Arg Arg Ile (I) Leu; Val; Met; Ala; Phe; Norleucine Leu Leu (L) Norleucine; Ile; Val; Met; Ala; Phe Ile Lys (K) Arg; Gln; Asn Arg Met (M) Leu; Phe; Ile Leu Phe (F) Trp; Leu; Val; Ile; Ala; Tyr Tyr Pro (P) Ala Ala Ser (S) Thr Thr Thr (T) Val; Ser Ser Trp (W) Tyr; Phe Tyr Tyr (Y) Trp; Phe; Thr; Ser Phe Val (V) Ile; Leu; Met; Phe; Ala; Norleucine Leu

Amino acids may be grouped according to common side-chain properties:

[0249] (1) hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile;

[0250] (2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln;

[0251] (3) acidic: Asp, Glu;

[0252] (4) basic: His, Lys, Arg;

[0253] (5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro;

[0254] (6) aromatic: Tip, Tyr, Phe.

[0255] Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class.

[0256] One type of substitutional variant involves substituting one or more hypervariable region residues of a parent antibody (e.g. a humanized or human antibody). Generally, the resulting variant(s) selected for further study will have modifications (e.g., improvements) in certain biological properties (e.g., increased affinity, reduced immunogenicity) relative to the parent antibody and/or will have substantially retained certain biological properties of the parent antibody. An exemplary substitutional variant is an affinity matured antibody, which may be conveniently generated, e.g., using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques such as those described herein. Briefly, one or more HVR residues are mutated and the variant antibodies displayed on phage and screened for a particular biological activity (e.g. binding affinity).

[0257] Alterations (e.g., substitutions) may be made in HVRs, e.g., to improve antibody affinity. Such alterations may be made in HVR "hotspots," i.e., residues encoded by codons that undergo mutation at high frequency during the somatic maturation process (see, e.g., Chowdhury, Methods Mol. Biol. 207:179-196 (2008)), and/or SDRs (a-CDRs), with the resulting variant VH or VL being tested for binding affinity. Affinity maturation by constructing and reselecting from secondary libraries has been described, e.g., in Hoogenboom et al. in Methods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., (2001).) In some embodiments of affinity maturation, diversity is introduced into the variable genes chosen for maturation by any of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). A secondary library is then created. The library is then screened to identify any antibody variants with the desired affinity. Another method to introduce diversity involves HVR-directed approaches, in which several HVR residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. HVR residues involved in antigen binding may be specifically identified, e.g., using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling. CDR-H3 and CDR-L3 in particular are often targeted.

[0258] In certain embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may occur within one or more HVRs so long as such alterations do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind antigen. For example, conservative alterations (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity may be made in HVRs. Such alterations may be outside of HVR "hotspots" or SDRs. In certain embodiments of the variant VH and VL sequences provided above, each HVR either is unaltered, or contains no more than one, two or three amino acid substitutions.

[0259] A useful method for identification of residues or regions of an antibody that may be targeted for mutagenesis is called "alanine scanning mutagenesis" as described by Cunningham and Wells (1989) Science, 244:1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as arg, asp, his, lys, and glu) are identified and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (e.g., alanine or polyalanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further substitutions may be introduced at the amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Alternatively, or additionally, a crystal structure of an antigen-antibody complex to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and neighboring residues may be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants may be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties.

[0260] Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and/or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing a hundred or more residues, as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Examples of terminal insertions include an antibody with an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertional variants of the antibody molecule include the fusion to the N- or C-terminus of the antibody to an enzyme (e.g. for ADEPT) or a polypeptide which increases the serum half-life of the antibody.

[0261] of Fc domain variants.

[0262] b) Cysteine Engineered Antibody Variants

[0263] In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to create cysteine engineered bispecific antibodies, e.g., "thioMAbs," in which one or more residues of a bispecific antibody are substituted with cysteine residues. In particular embodiments, the substituted residues occur at accessible sites of the bispecific antibody. By substituting those residues with cysteine, reactive thiol groups are thereby positioned at accessible sites of the antibody and may be used to conjugate the antibody to other moieties, such as drug moieties or linker-drug moieties, to create an immunoconjugate, as described further herein. In certain embodiments, any one or more of the following residues may be substituted with cysteine: V205 (Kabat numbering) of the light chain and A118 (EU numbering) of the heavy chain. Cysteine engineered antibodies may be generated as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 7,521,541.

[0264] c) Antibody Derivatives

[0265] In certain embodiments, a bispecific antibody provided herein may be further modified to contain additional nonproteinaceous moieties that are known in the art and readily available. The moieties suitable for derivatization of the bispecific antibody include but are not limited to water soluble polymers. Non-limiting examples of water soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG), copolymers of ethylene glycol/propylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly-1,3-dioxolane, poly-1,3,6-trioxane, ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer, polyaminoacids (either homopolymers or random copolymers), and dextran or poly(n-vinyl pyrrolidone)polyethylene glycol, propropylene glycol homopolymers, prolypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol), polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde may have advantages in manufacturing due to its stability in water. The polymer may be of any molecular weight, and may be branched or unbranched. The number of polymers attached to the antibody may vary, and if more than one polymer are attached, they can be the same or different molecules. In general, the number and/or type of polymers used for derivatization can be determined based on considerations including, but not limited to, the particular properties or functions of the antibody to be improved, whether the antibody derivative will be used in a therapy under defined conditions, etc.

[0266] In another embodiment, conjugates of a bispecific antibody and nonproteinaceous moiety that may be selectively heated by exposure to radiation are provided. In one embodiment, the nonproteinaceous moiety is a carbon nanotube (Kam et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 102: 11600-11605 (2005)). The radiation may be of any wavelength, and includes, but is not limited to, wavelengths that do not harm ordinary cells, but which heat the nonproteinaceous moiety to a temperature at which cells proximal to the antibody-nonproteinaceous moiety are killed.

[0267] B. Recombinant Methods and Compositions

[0268] T cell activating bispecific antibodies of the invention may be obtained, for example, by solid-state peptide synthesis (e.g. Merrifield solid phase synthesis) or recombinant production. For recombinant production one or more polynucleotide encoding the T cell activating bispecific antibody (fragment), e.g., as described above, is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and/or expression in a host cell. Such polynucleotide may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures. In one embodiment a vector, preferably an expression vector, comprising one or more of the polynucleotides of the invention is provided. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing the coding sequence of a T cell activating bispecific antibody (fragment) along with appropriate transcriptional/translational control signals. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques and in vivo recombination/genetic recombination. See, for example, the techniques described in Maniatis et al., MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, N.Y. (1989); and Ausubel et al., CURRENT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, Greene Publishing Associates and Wiley Interscience, N.Y (1989). The expression vector can be part of a plasmid, virus, or may be a nucleic acid fragment. The expression vector includes an expression cassette into which the polynucleotide encoding the T cell activating bispecific antibody (fragment) (i.e. the coding region) is cloned in operable association with a promoter and/or other transcription or translation control elements. As used herein, a "coding region" is a portion of nucleic acid which consists of codons translated into amino acids. Although a "stop codon" (TAG, TGA, or TAA) is not translated into an amino acid, it may be considered to be part of a coding region, if present, but any flanking sequences, for example promoters, ribosome binding sites, transcriptional terminators, introns, 5' and 3' untranslated regions, and the like, are not part of a coding region. Two or more coding regions can be present in a single polynucleotide construct, e.g. on a single vector, or in separate polynucleotide constructs, e.g. on separate (different) vectors. Furthermore, any vector may contain a single coding region, or may comprise two or more coding regions, e.g. a vector of the present invention may encode one or more polypeptides, which are post- or co-translationally separated into the final proteins via proteolytic cleavage. In addition, a vector, polynucleotide, or nucleic acid of the invention may encode heterologous coding regions, either fused or unfused to a polynucleotide encoding the T cell activating bispecific antibody (fragment) of the invention, or variant or derivative thereof. Heterologous coding regions include without limitation specialized elements or motifs, such as a secretory signal peptide or a heterologous functional domain. An operable association is when a coding region for a gene product, e.g. a polypeptide, is associated with one or more regulatory sequences in such a way as to place expression of the gene product under the influence or control of the regulatory sequence(s). Two DNA fragments (such as a polypeptide coding region and a promoter associated therewith) are "operably associated" if induction of promoter function results in the transcription of mRNA encoding the desired gene product and if the nature of the linkage between the two DNA fragments does not interfere with the ability of the expression regulatory sequences to direct the expression of the gene product or interfere with the ability of the DNA template to be transcribed. Thus, a promoter region would be operably associated with a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide if the promoter was capable of effecting transcription of that nucleic acid. The promoter may be a cell-specific promoter that directs substantial transcription of the DNA only in predetermined cells. Other transcription control elements, besides a promoter, for example enhancers, operators, repressors, and transcription termination signals, can be operably associated with the polynucleotide to direct cell-specific transcription. Suitable promoters and other transcription control regions are disclosed herein. A variety of transcription control regions are known to those skilled in the art. These include, without limitation, transcription control regions, which function in vertebrate cells, such as, but not limited to, promoter and enhancer segments from cytomegaloviruses (e.g. the immediate early promoter, in conjunction with intron-A), simian virus 40 (e.g. the early promoter), and retroviruses (such as, e.g. Rous sarcoma virus). Other transcription control regions include those derived from vertebrate genes such as actin, heat shock protein, bovine growth hormone and rabbit a-globin, as well as other sequences capable of controlling gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Additional suitable transcription control regions include tissue-specific promoters and enhancers as well as inducible promoters (e.g. promoter inducible tetracyclins). Similarly, a variety of translation control elements are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, but are not limited to ribosome binding sites, translation initiation and termination codons, and elements derived from viral systems (particularly an internal ribosome entry site, or IRES, also referred to as a CITE sequence). The expression cassette may also include other features such as an origin of replication, and/or chromosome integration elements such as retroviral long terminal repeats (LTRs), or adeno-associated viral (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs).

Polynucleotide and nucleic acid coding regions of the present invention may be associated with additional coding regions which encode secretory or signal peptides, which direct the secretion of a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide of the present invention. For example, if secretion of the T cell activating bispecific antigen binding molecule is desired, DNA encoding a signal sequence may be placed upstream of the nucleic acid encoding a T cell activating bispecific antibody of the invention or a fragment thereof. According to the signal hypothesis, proteins secreted by mammalian cells have a signal peptide or secretory leader sequence which is cleaved from the mature protein once export of the growing protein chain across the rough endoplasmic reticulum has been initiated. Those of ordinary skill in the art are aware that polypeptides secreted by vertebrate cells generally have a signal peptide fused to the N-terminus of the polypeptide, which is cleaved from the translated polypeptide to produce a secreted or "mature" form of the polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the native signal peptide, e.g. an immunoglobulin heavy chain or light chain signal peptide is used, or a functional derivative of that sequence that retains the ability to direct the secretion of the polypeptide that is operably associated with it. Alternatively, a heterologous mammalian signal peptide, or a functional derivative thereof, may be used. For example, the wild-type leader sequence may be substituted with the leader sequence of human tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) or mouse .beta.-glucuronidase. DNA encoding a short protein sequence that could be used to facilitate later purification (e.g. a histidine tag) or assist in labeling the T cell activating bispecific antibody may be included within or at the ends of the T cell activating bispecific antibody (fragment) encoding polynucleotide. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising one or more polynucleotides of the invention is provided. In certain embodiments a host cell comprising one or more vectors of the invention is provided. The polynucleotides and vectors may incorporate any of the features, singly or in combination, described herein in relation to polynucleotides and vectors, respectively. In one such embodiment a host cell comprises (e.g. has been transformed or transfected with) a vector comprising a polynucleotide that encodes (part of) a T cell activating bispecific antibody of the invention. As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to any kind of cellular system which can be engineered to generate the T cell activating bispecific antibodies of the invention or fragments thereof. Host cells suitable for replicating and for supporting expression of T cell activating bispecific antibodies are well known in the art. Such cells may be transfected or transduced as appropriate with the particular expression vector and large quantities of vector containing cells can be grown for seeding large scale fermenters to obtain sufficient quantities of the T cell activating bispecific antibody for clinical applications. Suitable host cells include prokaryotic microorganisms, such as E. coli, or various eukaryotic cells, such as Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), insect cells, or the like. For example, polypeptides may be produced in bacteria in particular when glycosylation is not needed. After expression, the polypeptide may be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction and can be further purified. In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for polypeptide-encoding vectors, including fungi and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been "humanized", resulting in the production of a polypeptide with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat Biotech 22, 1409-1414 (2004), and Li et al., Nat Biotech 24, 210-215 (2006). Suitable host cells for the expression of (glycosylated) polypeptides are also derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates). Examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells. Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells. Plant cell cultures can also be utilized as hosts. See e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (describing PLANTIBODIES.TM. technology for producing antibodies in transgenic plants). Vertebrate cells may also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that are adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293T cells as described, e.g., in Graham et al., J Gen Virol 36, 59 (1977)), baby hamster kidney cells (BHK), mouse sertoli cells (TM4 cells as described, e.g., in Mather, Biol Reprod 23, 243-251 (1980)), monkey kidney cells (CV1), African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76), human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA), canine kidney cells (MDCK), buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A), human lung cells (W138), human liver cells (Hep G2), mouse mammary tumor cells (MMT 060562), TRI cells (as described, e.g., in Mather et al., Annals N.Y. Acad Sci 383, 44-68 (1982)), MRC 5 cells, and FS4 cells. Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including dhfr.sup.- CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 77, 4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as YO, NS0, P3X63 and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for protein production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003). Host cells include cultured cells, e.g., mammalian cultured cells, yeast cells, insect cells, bacterial cells and plant cells, to name only a few, but also cells comprised within a transgenic animal, transgenic plant or cultured plant or animal tissue. In one embodiment, the host cell is a eukaryotic cell, preferably a mammalian cell, such as a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell, a human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell or a lymphoid cell (e.g., Y0, NS0, Sp20 cell). Standard technologies are known in the art to express foreign genes in these systems. Cells expressing a polypeptide comprising either the heavy or the light chain of an antigen binding domain such as an antibody, may be engineered so as to also express the other of the antibody chains such that the expressed product is an antibody that has both a heavy and a light chain. In one embodiment, a method of producing a T cell activating bispecific antibody according to the invention is provided, wherein the method comprises culturing a host cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding the T cell activating bispecific antibody, as provided herein, under conditions suitable for expression of the T cell activating bispecific antigen binding molecule, and recovering the T cell activating bispecific antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium). The components of the T cell activating bispecific antibody are genetically fused to each other. T cell activating bispecific antibody can be designed such that its components are fused directly to each other or indirectly through a linker sequence. The composition and length of the linker may be determined in accordance with methods well known in the art and may be tested for efficacy. Examples of linker sequences between different components of T cell activating bispecific antibodies are found in the sequences provided herein. Additional sequences may also be included to incorporate a cleavage site to separate the individual components of the fusion if desired, for example an endopeptidase recognition sequence. In certain embodiments the one or more antigen binding moieties of the T cell activating bispecific antibodies comprise at least an antibody variable region capable of binding an antigenic determinant. Variable regions can form part of and be derived from naturally or non-naturally occurring antibodies and fragments thereof. Methods to produce polyclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibodies are well known in the art (see e.g. Harlow and Lane, "Antibodies, a laboratory manual", Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988). Non-naturally occurring antibodies can be constructed using solid phase-peptide synthesis, can be produced recombinantly (e.g. as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,186,567) or can be obtained, for example, by screening combinatorial libraries comprising variable heavy chains and variable light chains (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,969,108 to McCafferty). Any animal species of antibody, antibody fragment, antigen binding domain or variable region can be used in the T cell activating bispecific antibodies of the invention. Non-limiting antibodies, antibody fragments, antigen binding domains or variable regions useful in the present invention can be of murine, primate, or human origin. If the T cell activating antibody is intended for human use, a chimeric form of antibody may be used wherein the constant regions of the antibody are from a human. A humanized or fully human form of the antibody can also be prepared in accordance with methods well known in the art (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,332 to Winter). Humanization may be achieved by various methods including, but not limited to (a) grafting the non-human (e.g., donor antibody) CDRs onto human (e.g. recipient antibody) framework and constant regions with or without retention of critical framework residues (e.g. those that are important for retaining good antigen binding affinity or antibody functions), (b) grafting only the non-human specificity-determining regions (SDRs or a-CDRs; the residues critical for the antibody-antigen interaction) onto human framework and constant regions, or (c) transplanting the entire non-human variable domains, but "cloaking" them with a human-like section by replacement of surface residues. Humanized antibodies and methods of making them are reviewed, e.g., in Almagro and Fransson, Front Biosci 13, 1619-1633 (2008), and are further described, e.g., in Riechmann et al., Nature 332, 323-329 (1988); Queen et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86, 10029-10033 (1989); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,821,337, 7,527,791, 6,982,321, and 7,087,409; Jones et al., Nature 321, 522-525 (1986); Morrison et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 81, 6851-6855 (1984); Morrison and Oi, Adv Immunol 44, 65-92 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239, 1534-1536 (1988); Padlan, Molec Immun 31(3), 169-217 (1994); Kashmiri et al., Methods 36, 25-34 (2005) (describing SDR (a-CDR) grafting); Padlan, Mol Immunol 28, 489-498 (1991) (describing "resurfacing"); Dall'Acqua et al., Methods 36, 43-60 (2005) (describing "FR shuffling"); and Osbourn et al., Methods 36, 61-68 (2005) and Klimka et al., Br J Cancer 83, 252-260 (2000) (describing the "guided selection" approach to FR shuffling). Human antibodies and human variable regions can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are described generally in van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr Opin Pharmacol 5, 368-74 (2001) and Lonberg, Curr Opin Immunol 20, 450-459 (2008). Human variable regions can form part of and be derived from human monoclonal antibodies made by the hybridoma method (see e.g. Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, pp. 51-63 (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1987)). Human antibodies and human variable regions may also be prepared by administering an immunogen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigenic challenge (see e.g. Lonberg, Nat Biotech 23, 1117-1125 (2005). Human antibodies and human variable regions may also be generated by isolating Fv clone variable region sequences selected from human-derived phage display libraries (see e.g., Hoogenboom et al. in Methods in Molecular Biology 178, 1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., 2001); and McCafferty et al., Nature 348, 552-554; Clackson et al., Nature 352, 624-628 (1991)). Phage typically display antibody fragments, either as single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or as Fab fragments. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antibodies of the present invention are engineered to have enhanced binding affinity according to, for example, the methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. No. 2004/0132066, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The ability of the T cell activating bispecific antibody of the invention to bind to a specific antigenic determinant can be measured either through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other techniques familiar to one of skill in the art, e.g. surface plasmon resonance technique (analyzed on a BIACORE T100 system) (Liljeblad, et al., Glyco J 17, 323-329 (2000)), and traditional binding assays (Heeley, Endocr Res 28, 217-229 (2002)). Competition assays may be used to identify an antibody, antibody fragment, antigen binding domain or variable domain that competes with a reference antibody for binding to a particular antigen, e.g. an antibody that competes with the V9 antibody for binding to CD3. In certain embodiments, such a competing antibody binds to the same epitope (e.g. a linear or a conformational epitope) that is bound by the reference antibody. Detailed exemplary methods for mapping an epitope to which an antibody binds are provided in Morris (1996) "Epitope Mapping Protocols," in Methods in Molecular Biology vol. 66 (Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.). In an exemplary competition assay, immobilized antigen (e.g. CD3) is incubated in a solution comprising a first labeled antibody that binds to the antigen (e.g. V9 antibody) and a second unlabeled antibody that is being tested for its ability to compete with the first antibody for binding to the antigen. The second antibody may be present in a hybridoma supernatant. As a control, immobilized antigen is incubated in a solution comprising the first labeled antibody but not the second unlabeled antibody. After incubation under conditions permissive for binding of the first antibody to the antigen, excess unbound antibody is removed, and the amount of label associated with immobilized antigen is measured. If the amount of label associated with immobilized antigen is substantially reduced in the test sample relative to the control sample, then that indicates that the second antibody is competing with the first antibody for binding to the antigen. See Harlow and Lane (1988) Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual ch. 14 (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.). T cell activating bispecific antibodies prepared as described herein may be purified by art-known techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, gel electrophoresis, affinity chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, and the like. The actual conditions used to purify a particular protein will depend, in part, on factors such as net charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity etc., and will be apparent to those having skill in the art. For affinity chromatography purification an antibody, ligand, receptor or antigen can be used to which the T cell activating bispecific antibody binds. For example, for affinity chromatography purification of T cell activating bispecific antibody of the invention, a matrix with protein A or protein G may be used. Sequential Protein A or G affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography can be used to isolate a T cell activating bispecific antibody essentially as described in the Examples. The purity of the T cell activating bispecific antibodies can be determined by any of a variety of well known analytical methods including gel electrophoresis, high pressure liquid chromatography, and the like.

[0285] In certain embodiments, any of the bispecific antibodies that bind to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) provided herein is useful for detecting the presence of a T-cell activating antigen and/or a Tumor Antigen (TA) in a biological sample. The term "detecting" as used herein encompasses quantitative or qualitative detection. In certain embodiments, a biological sample comprises a cell or tissue.

In one such embodiment, the method further comprises administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, as described below. An "individual" according to any of the above embodiments may be a human.

[0301] In a further aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising any of the bispecific antibodies that bind to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) provided herein, e.g., for use in any of the above therapeutic methods. In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation comprises any of the bispecific antibody that binds to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) provided herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation comprises any of the bispecific antibodies that bind to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA) provided herein and at least one additional therapeutic agent, e.g., as described below.

[0302] The bispecific antibodies of the invention can be used either alone or in combination with other agents in a therapy. For instance, a bispecific antibody of the invention may be co-administered with at least one additional therapeutic agent.

[0303] Such combination therapies noted above encompass combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the antibody of the invention can occur prior to, simultaneously, and/or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent and/or adjuvant. Bispecific antibodies of the invention can also be used in combination with radiation therapy.

[0304] A bispecific antibody of the invention (and any additional therapeutic agent) can be administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. Dosing can be by any suitable route, e.g. by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein.

[0305] Bispecific antibodies of the invention would be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The bispecific antibody need not be, but is optionally formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as described herein, or about from 1 to 99% of the dosages described herein, or in any dosage and by any route that is empirically/clinically determined to be appropriate.

[0306] For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of a bispecific antibody of the invention (when used alone or in combination with one or more other additional therapeutic agents) will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the type of antibody, the severity and course of the disease, whether the bispecific antibody is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the bispecific antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments. Depending on the type and severity of the disease, about 1 .mu.g/kg to 15 mg/kg (e.g. 0.1 mg/kg-10 mg/kg) of bispecific antibody can be an initial candidate dosage for administration to the patient, whether, for example, by one or more separate administrations, or by continuous infusion. One typical daily dosage might range from about 1 .mu.g/kg to 100 mg/kg or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment would generally be sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. One exemplary dosage of the bispecific antibody would be in the range from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg. Thus, one or more doses of about 0.5 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 4.0 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg (or any combination thereof) may be administered to the patient. Such doses may be administered intermittently, e.g. every week or every three weeks (e.g. such that the patient receives from about two to about twenty, or e.g. about six doses of the bispecific antibody). An initial higher loading dose, followed by one or more lower doses may be administered. However, other dosage regimens may be useful. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays.

[0307] It is understood that any of the above formulations or therapeutic methods may be carried out using an immunoconjugate of the invention in place of or in addition to a bispecific antibody that binds to a T-cell activating antigen and a Tumor Antigen (TA).

[0311] The following are examples of methods and compositions of the invention. It is understood that various other embodiments may be practiced, given the general description provided above.

[0312] Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, the descriptions and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. The disclosures of all patent and scientific literature cited herein are expressly incorporated in their entirety by reference.

Example 1

Preparation of Fab (MCSP)-CrossFab(CD3)

[0313] The resulting variable region of heavy and light chain DNA sequences have been subcloned in frame with either the constant heavy chain or the constant light chain pre-inserted into the respective recipient mammalian expression vector. The antibody expression is driven by an MPSV promoter and carries a synthetic polyA signal sequence at the 3' end of the CDS. In addition each vector contains an EBV OriP sequence.

[0314] The molecule is produced by co-transfecting HEK293-EBNA cells with the mammalian expression vectors using a calcium phosphate-transfection. Exponentially growing HEK293-EBNA cells are transfected by the calcium phosphate method. Alternatively, HEK293-EBNA cells growing in suspension are transfected by polyethylenimine. The cells are transfected with the corresponding expression vectors in a 1:1:1 ratio ("vector CH1-VH-CK-VH": "vector light chain": "vector light chain CH1-VL").

[0315] For transfection using calcium phosphate cells are grown as adherent monolayer cultures in T-flasks using DMEM culture medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS, and are transfected when they are between 50 and 80% confluent. For the transfection of a T150 flask, 15 million cells are seeded 24 hours before transfection in 25 ml DMEM culture medium supplemented with FCS (at 10% v/v final), and cells are placed at 37.degree. C. in an incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere overnight. For each T150 flask to be transfected, a solution of DNA, CaCl2 and water is prepared by mixing 94 .mu.g total plasmid vector DNA divided in the corresponding ratio, water to a final volume of 469 .mu.l and 469 .mu.l of a 1 M CaCl2 solution. To this solution, 938 .mu.l of a 50 mM HEPES, 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM Na2HPO4 solution at pH 7.05 are added, mixed immediately for 10 s and left to stand at room temperature for 20 s. The suspension is diluted with 10 ml of DMEM supplemented with 2% (v/v) FCS, and added to the T150 in place of the existing medium. Then additional 13 ml of transfection medium are added. The cells are incubated at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2 for about 17 to 20 hours, then medium is replaced with 25 ml DMEM, 10% FCS. The conditioned culture medium is harvested approx. 7 days post-media exchange by centrifugation for 15 min at 210.times.g, the solution is sterile filtered (0.22 .mu.m filter) and sodium azide in a final concentration of 0.01% (w/v) is added, and kept at 4.degree. C.

[0316] For transfection using polyethylenimine HEK293 EBNA cells are cultivated in suspension serum free in CD CHO culture medium. For the production in 500 ml shake flask 400 million HEK293 EBNA cells are seeded 24 hours before transfection. For transfection cells are centrifuged for 5 min by 210.times.g, supernatant is replaced by pre-warmed 20 ml CD CHO medium. Expression vectors are mixed in 20 ml CD CHO medium to a final amount of 200 .mu.g DNA. After addition of 540 .mu.l PEI solution is vortexed for 15 s and subsequently incubated for 10 min at room temperature. Afterwards cells are mixed with the DNA/PEI solution, transferred to a 500 ml shake flask and incubated for 3 hours by 37.degree. C. in an incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere. After incubation time 160 ml F17 medium is added and cell are cultivated for 24 hours. One day after transfection 1 mM valporic acid and 7% Feed 1 (Lonza) is added. After 7 days cultivation supernatant is collected for purification by centrifugation for 15 min at 210.times.g, the solution is sterile filtered (0.22 .mu.m filter) and sodium azide in a final concentration of 0.01% w/v is added, and kept at 4.degree. C.

[0317] The secreted protein is purified from cell culture supernatants by affinity chromatography using Protein A and Protein G affinity chromatography, followed by a size exclusion chromatographic step. For affinity chromatography supernatant is loaded on a HiTrap Protein A HP column (CV=5 ml, GE Healthcare) coupled to a HiTrap Protein G HP column (CV=5 ml, GE Healthcare) each column equilibrated with 30 ml 20 mM sodium phosphate, 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.5. Unbound protein is removed by washing both columns with 6 column volume 20 mM sodium phosphate, 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.5. Subsequently an additional wash step is necessary to wash only the HiTrap Protein G HP column using at least 8 column volume 20 mM sodium phosphate, 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.5. The target protein is eluted from HiTrap Protein G HP column using a step gradient with 7 column volume 8.8 mM formic acid, pH 3.0. Protein solution is neutralized by adding 1/10 of 0.5 M sodium phosphate, pH 8.0. Target protein is concentrated and filtrated prior loading on a HiLoad Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated with 25 mM potassium phosphate, 125 mM sodium chloride, 100 mM glycine solution of pH 6.7.

[0318] The protein concentration of purified protein samples is determined by measuring the optical density (OD) at 280 nm, using the molar extinction coefficient calculated on the basis of the amino acid sequence. Purity and molecular weight of antibodies are analyzed by SDS-PAGE in the presence and absence of a reducing agent (5 mM 1,4-dithiotreitol) and staining with Coomassie (SimpleBlue.TM. SafeStain from Invitrogen). The NuPAGE.RTM. Pre-Cast gel system (Invitrogen, USA) is used according to the manufacturer's instruction (4-12% Tris-Acetate gels or 4-12% Bis-Tris). The aggregate content of antibody samples is analyzed using a Superdex 200 10/300GL analytical size-exclusion column (GE Healthcare, Sweden) in 2 mM MOPS, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% (w/v) NaN3, pH 7.3 running buffer at 25.degree. C.

For each T150 flask to be transfected, a solution of DNA, CaCl2 and water is prepared by mixing 94 .mu.g total plasmid vector DNA divided in the corresponding ratio, water to a final volume of 469 .mu.l and 469 .mu.l of a 1 M CaCl2 solution. To this solution, 938 .mu.l of a 50 mM HEPES, 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM Na2HPO4 solution at pH 7.05 are added, mixed immediately for 10 s and left to stand at room temperature for 20 s. The suspension is diluted with 10 ml of DMEM supplemented with 2% (v/v) FCS, and added to the T150 in place of the existing medium. Then additional 13 ml of transfection medium are added. The cells are incubated at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2 for about 17 to 20 hours, then medium is replaced with 25 ml DMEM, 10% FCS. The conditioned culture medium is harvested approx. 7 days post-media exchange by centrifugation for 15 min at 210.times.g, the solution is sterile filtered (0.22 .mu.m filter) and sodium azide in a final concentration of 0.01% (w/v) is added, and kept at 4.degree.

Unbound protein is removed by washing both columns with 6 column volume 20 mM sodium phosphate, 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.5. Subsequently an additional wash step is necessary to wash only the HiTrap ProteinG HP column using at least 8 column volume 20 mM sodium phosphate, 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.5. The target protein is eluted from HiTrap ProteinG HP column using a step gradient with 7 column volume 8.8 mM formic acid, pH 3.0.

[0337] The secreted protein is purified from cell culture supernatants by affinity chromatography using Immobilized Metal Ion Affinity Chromatography (IMAC), followed by a size exclusion chromatographic step.

[0338] Prior first purification step disturbing components from the supernatant are removed by diafiltration using the tangential flow filtration system Sarcojet (Sartorius) equipped with a 5.000 MWCO membrane (Sartocon Slice Cassette, Hydrosart; Sartorius). Supernatant is concentrated to 210 ml and subsequently diluted in 1 l 20 mM sodium phosphate, 500 mM sodium chloride, pH 6.5. The protein solution is concentrated again to 210 ml. This process is repeated twice to ensure a complete buffer exchange.

[0346] T-cell enrichment from PBMCs was performed using the Pan T Cell Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec #130-091-156), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the cell pellets were diluted in 40 .mu.l cold buffer per 10 Mio cells (PBS with 0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA--sterile filtered) and incubated with 10 .mu.l Biotin-Antibody Cocktail per 10 Mio cells for 10 min at 4.degree.

[0352] Bispecific constructs targeting CD3 on human, or mouse T cells and human on tumor cells, are analyzed by a LDH release assay regarding their potential to induce T cell-mediated apoptosis of target cells.

[0353] Briefly, target cells (human Colo-38, human MDA-MB-435, human melanoma MV-3 or murine B16/F10-huMCSP Fluc 2 clone 48 cells, all expressing human MCSP) are harvested with Cell Dissociation Buffer (MCSP is trypsin-sensitive) or trypsin (and then plated the day before), washed and resuspendend in the appropriate cell culture medium (see detailed description of the different figures). 20 000-30 000 cells per well are plated in a round-bottom 96-well-plate and the respective antibody dilution was added as indicated (triplicates). Effector cells were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 5:1 (for human pan T cells), 10:1 (for human PBMCs).

[0354] In addition, 1-10 .mu.g/ml PHA-M (Sigma #L8902), a mixture of isolectins, isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris, was used as a mitogenic stimulus to induce human or cynomolgus T cell activation. For murine T cells, a 5% solution of "rat T-Stim with ConA" (BD #354115) was used as a positive control for T cell activation.

[0355] For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) is achieved by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100. Minimal lysis (=0%) refers to target cells co-incubated with effector cells, but without any construct or antibody.

[0356] After an overnight incubation of at least 18 h at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2, LDH release of apoptotic/necrotic target cells into the supernatant is measured with the LDH detection kit (Roche Applied Science, #11 644 793 001), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Briefly, huMCSP-expressing MDA-MB-435 human melanoma target cells are harvested with Cell Dissociation Buffer, washed and resuspendend in AIM-V medium (Invitrogen #12055-091). 30 000 cells per well were plated in a round-bottom 96-well-plate and the respective antibody dilution was added at the indicated concentrations. All constructs and controls were adjusted to the same molarity.

[0359] Human pan T effector cells were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 5:1. As a positive control for the activation of human pan T cells, 1 .mu.g/ml PHA-M (Sigma #L8902) was used. For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) was determined by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100. Minimal lysis (=0%) refers to target cells co-incubated with effector cells, but without any construct or antibody.

All constructs and controls were adjusted to the same molarity.

[0365] Human pan T effector cells were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 5:1. As a positive control for the activation of human pan T cells, 5 .mu.g/ml PHA-M (Sigma #L8902) was used. For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) was determined by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100. Minimal lysis (=0%) refers to target cells co-incubated with effector cells, but without any construct or antibody.

[0366] After an overnight incubation of 21 h at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2, LDH release of apoptotic/necrotic target cells into the supernatant was measured with the LDH detection kit (Roche Applied Science, #11 644 793 001), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0367] As depicted in FIG. 11, the Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) induces apoptosis in target cells at least comparably good as the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) molecule.

[0368] LDH Release Assay with Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) Bispecific Construct with MV-3 Human Melanoma Target Cells

[0369] Purified Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) molecule were analyzed for their potential to induce T cell-mediated apoptosis in tumor target cells upon crosslinkage of the construct via binding of both targeting moieties to the respective antigens on cells.

Cell were washed and resuspendend in the appropriate cell culture medium. 30 000 cells per well were plated in a round-bottom 96-well-plate. The next day, the supernatant was discarded and 100 .mu.l/well AIM-V medium (Invitrogen #12055-091), as well as the respective antibody dilution were added at the indicated concentrations. All constructs and controls were adjusted to the same molarity.

[0371] Human PBMC effector cells were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 10:1. As a positive control for the activation of human pan T cells, 5 .mu.g/ml PHA-M (Sigma #L8902) was used. For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) was determined by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100.

[0376] LDH Release Assay with Murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP) Bispecific Construct

[0377] Purified with murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP), targeting murine CD3, as well as human MCSP, was analyzed for its potential to induce T cell-mediated apoptosis in tumor target cells upon crosslinkage of the construct via binding of both targeting moieties to the respective antigens on cells.

[0378] Briefly, huMCSP-expressing B16/F10-huMCSP Fluc2 clone 48 tumor target cells are harvested with Cell Dissociation Buffer, washed and resuspendend in RPMI1640 medium, including 1.times.NEAA, 10 mM Hepes, 50 .mu.m 2-b-ME and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.

[0379] 20 000 cells per well were plated in a round-bottom 96-well-plate and the respective antibody dilution was added at the indicated concentrations. The bispecific construct and the different IgG controls were adjusted to the same molarity. As an additional control for the activation of murine T cells "T Cell Stim with ConA" (BD #354115) was used, diluted 1:160 with assay medium.

[0380] Murine pan T effector cells, isolated from splenocytes (C57BL/6 mice) were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 10:1. For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) was determined by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100.

[0381] After an incubation for 70 h at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2, LDH release of apoptotic/necrotic target cells into the supernatant was measured with the LDH detection kit (Roche Applied Science, #11 644 793 001), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0382] As depicted in FIG. 13, the bispecific construct induces concentration-dependent LDH release from target cells, comparable to the positive control with "T Cell Stim with ConA".

[0383] LDH Release Assay with Murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP) Bispecific Construct

[0384] Purified murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP), targeting murine CD3, as well as human MCSP, was analyzed for its potential to induce T cell-mediated apoptosis in tumor target cells upon crosslinkage of the construct via binding of both targeting moieties to the respective antigens on cells.

[0385] Briefly, huMCSP-expressing B16/F10-huMCSP Fluc2 clone 48 tumor target cells are harvested with Cell Dissociation Buffer, washed and resuspendend in RPMI1640 medium, including 1.times.NEAA, 10 mM Hepes, 50 .mu.M 2-b-ME and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.

[0387] Murine pan T effector cells, isolated from splenocytes (C57BL/6 mice) were added to obtain a final E:T ratio of 10:1. To assess the level of hyperactivation of murine T cells in the absence of target cells, control wells with 50 nM bispecific construct and T cells were plated accordingly.

[0388] For normalization, maximal lysis of the target cells (=100%) was determined by incubation of the target cells with a final concentration of 1% Triton-X-100. Minimal lysis (=0%) refers to target cells co-incubated with effector cells, but without any construct or antibody.

In the absence of target cells, there is only a slight increase of LDH (reflecting hyperactivation of T cells) compared to untreated murine T cells, co-incubated with target cells. None of the control IgGs induces LDH release of target cells.

Cytokine Release Assay (CBA Analysis)

[0391] To assess the de novo secretion of different cytokines upon T cell activation with CD3-bispecific constructs in the presence or absence of target cells, human PBMCs were isolated from Buffy Coats and 0.3 Mio cells per well were plated into a round-bottom 96-well plate. Alternatively, 280 .mu.l whole blood from a healthy donor were plated per well of a deep-well 96-well plate.

[0392] Tumor target cells (e.g. MDA-MB-435 cells for CD3-MCSP-bispecific constructs) were added to obtain a final E/T-ratio of 10:1. Bispecific constructs and controls were added as indicated. After an incubation of up to 24 h at 37.degree.

[0393] The CBA analysis was performed according to manufacturers' instructions for FACS Cantoll, using the combination of the following CBA Flex Sets: human granzyme B (BD 560304), human IFN-.gamma. Flex Set (BD 558269), human TNF Flex Set (BD 558273), human IL-10 Flex Set (BD 558274), human IL-6 Flex Set (BD 558276), human IL-4 Flex Set (BD 558272).

[0394] Cytokine Release Assay with MCSP-CD3 Bispecific Constructs

[0395] The following purified bispecific constructs targeting human MCSP and human CD3 were analyzed for their ability to induce T cell-mediated de novo secretion of cytokines in the presence (A, B) versus absence (C, D) of tumor target cells: "Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) reference molecule.

[0396] Briefly, 280 .mu.l whole blood from a healthy donor were plated per well of a deep-well 96-well plate. 30 000 Colo-38 tumor target cells, expressing human MCSP, as well as the different bispecific constructs and IgG controls were added were added at 1 nM final concentration. The cells were incubated for 24 h at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2 and then centrifuged for 5 min at 350.times.g. The supernatant was transferred into a new deep-well 96-well-plate for the subsequent analysis.

[0397] The CBA analysis was performed according to manufacturers' instructions for FACS Cantoll, using the combination of the following CBA Flex Sets: human granzyme B (BD 560304), human IFN-.gamma. Flex Set (BD 558269), human TNF Flex Set (BD 558273), human IL-10 Flex Set (BD 558274), human IL-6 Flex Set (BD 558276), human IL-4 Flex Set (BD 558272).

[0398] FIG. 15 depicts different cytokine levels, that were measured in the supernatant of whole blood after treatment with 1 nM of different CD3-MCSP bispecific constructs (Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e)) in the presence (A, B) or absence (C,D) of Colo-38 tumor cells for 24 hours. 280 .mu.l whole blood were plated per well of a 96-well plate and 30 000 Colo-38 cells added, as indicated.

[0399] The main cytokine that was secreted upon activation of T cells in the presence of Colo-38 tumor cells, is IL-6, followed by IFNgamma. In addition, also the levels of granzyme B increased enormously upon activation of T cells in the presence of target cells. In general, the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) construct elevated the levels of TNF and IFNgamma, as well as granzyme B in the presence of target cells (A and B) a bit more compared to the other bispecific construct.

[0400] There was no significant secretion of Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) upon activation of T cells by the bispecific constructs in the presence (or absence) of target cells.

[0401] In this assay, there was also a weak secretion of IFNgamma, induced by the Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3) construct in the absence of target cells.

[0402] Cytokine Release Assay with MCSP-murineCD3 Bispecific Constructs

[0403] The purified huMCSP-muCD3-targeting bispecific molecule as murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP) was tested by flow cytometry for its potential to up-regulate the late activation marker CD25 on CD8+ T cells in the presence of human MCSP-expressing tumor cells.

[0404] Briefly, MCSP-positive B16/F10-huMCSP Fluc2 clone 48 tumor cells were harvested with Cell Dissociation buffer, counted and checked for viability. Cells were adjusted to 0.3.times.10.sup.6 (viable) cells per ml in RPMI1640 medium (including 1.times.NEAA, 10 mM Hepes, 50 .mu.m 2-b-ME, 1 mM sodium pyruvate), 100 .mu.l of this cell suspension were pipetted per well into a round-bottom 96-well plate (as indicated). 50 .mu.l of the (diluted) bispecific construct was added to the cell-containing wells to obtain a final concentration of 50 nM. Human murine T effector cells were isolated from splenocytes (C57BL/6 mice) and adjusted to 3.times.10.sup.6 (viable) cells per ml in AIM-V medium. 50 .mu.l of this cell suspension was added per well of the assay plate (see above) to obtain a final E:T ratio of 10:1. To analyze, if the bispecific construct is able to activate T cells only in the presence of target cells, expressing huMCSP, wells were included that contained 50 nM of the respective bispecific molecule, as well as T effector, but no target cells.

[0405] After incubation for 70 hours at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2, cells were centrifuged (5 min, 350.times.g) and washed twice with 150 .mu.l/well PBS, including 0.1% BSA.

[0406] Surface staining for CD8a (rat IgG2a; clone 53-6.7; BioLegend #100712) and CD25 (rat IgG2b; clone 3C7; BD #553075) was performed according to the suppliers' suggestions. Cells were washed twice with 150 .mu.l/well PBS, including 0.1% BSA and fixed for 15 min at 4.degree. C., using 100 .mu.l/well fixation buffer (BD ##554655).

[0407] After centrifugation, the samples were resuspended in 200 .mu.l/well PBS, 0.1% BSA and analyzed using a FACS Cantoll machine (Software FACS Diva).

[0408] FIG. 16 shows that the as murine Crossfab (CD3)-Fab (MCSP)-Fab (MCSP) construct induces up-regulation of CD25 in the presence of target cells only.

Example 9

Expression of Surface Activation Markers on Primary Human T Cells Upon Engagement of Bispecific Constructs

[0409] To check for specific activation of T cells upon binding of CD3 bispecific constructs exclusively in the presence of tumor target cells, primary human PBMCs (isolated as described above) were incubated with the indicated concentrations of bispecific constructs for at least 24 h in the presence or absence of tumor antigen-positive target cells.

[0410] Briefly, 0.3 million primary human PBMCs were plated per well of a flat-bottom 96-well plate, containing the huMCSP-positive target cells (MV-3 tumor cells) or medium. The final effector to target cell (E:T) ratio was 10:1. The cells were incubated with the indicated concentration of the CD3-MCSP bispecific constructs (Fab (MCSP)-Crossfab (CD3); designated as "1+1 non-Fc", and the (scFv)2 (antiMCSP/anti huCD3e) reference molecule (designated as"(scFv)2") for the indicated incubation times at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2. The effector cells were stained for CD8, and the early activation marker CD69 or the late activation marker CD25 and analyzed by FACS Cantoll.

[0411] FIG. 20 shows the result of this experiment.
