DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0166] Described herein are components for antigen binding constructs, including antibodies and fragments thereof, such as minibodies, that bind to a target molecule. In some embodiments, these components are novel hinge sequences and/or sequences associated with and/or part of the hinge sequence. These hinge sequences can provide various benefits. Also provided herein are the antigen binding constructs (such as antibodies, minibodies, etc.) that include one or more of the hinge sequences or subsequences provided herein.
[0167] In some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs can be useful for targeting therapeutic agents to cells that express the target molecule. In some embodiments, methods are provided for detecting the presence or absence of a target molecule (or "target") using antigen binding constructs (including antibodies, and constructs such as minibodies). In some embodiments, methods are provided for using the antigen binding constructs for therapeutic purposes.
[0168] In some embodiments, scFv and minibody antibodies can have superior pharmacokinetic properties for faster diagnostic imaging while maintaining the binding specificity and affinity of the parental antibody. Current technology utilizes imaging with the full length antibodies which often requires significantly longer times (.about.7-8 days postinjection) to produce high contrast images due to the slow serum clearance of the intact antibody. Some embodiments of the minibodies provided herein provide the opportunity for same-day or next-day imaging. Same-day or next-day imaging also provides a logistical solution to the problem facing many patients who travel great distances to receive treatment/diagnosis since the duration of travel stays or the need to return one week later would be eliminated when imaging with minibodies versus intact antibodies.
[0169] As detailed below, in some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs are for diagnostics. When labeled with an appropriate radionuclides (e.g., the positron emitter Iodine-124, Copper-64, Fluorine-18, Gallium-68 and/or Zirconium-89 for PET imaging) or fluorophore (for fluorescent imaging), the antibody fragments can be used for preclinical imaging as shown herein and for clinical imaging in patients. These antigen binding constructs can also be used as potential SPECT imaging agents by simply changing the radiolabel to single photon emitting radionuclides such as Indium-111, Iodine-123 and Lutitium-177.
[0170] In some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs can be clinical imaging agents (PET/SPECT) in humans. Accordingly, in some embodiments, antigen binding constructs can be used for targeted diagnostic detection for these disorders. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be used as a therapeutic.
Definitions and Various Embodiments
[0171] The term "hinge" denotes at least a part of a hinge region for an antigen binding construct, such as an antibody or a minibody. A hinge region can include a combination of the upper hinge, core (or middle) hinge and lower hinge regions. In some embodiments, the hinge is defined according to any of the antibody hinge definitions. Native IgG1, IgG2, and IgG4 antibodies have hinge regions having of 12-15 amino acids. IgG3 has an extended hinge region, having 62 amino acids, including 21 prolines and 11 cysteines. The functional hinge region of naturally occurring antibodies, deduced from crystallographic studies, extends from amino acid residues 216-237 of the IgG1 H chain (EU numbering; ref. 12) and includes a small segment of the N terminus of the CH2 domain in the lower hinge, with the lower hinge being the N terminus of CH2 domain. The hinge can be divided into three regions; the "upper hinge," the "core," and the "lower hinge".
[0172] The term "artificial" or "non-natural" when modifying a hinge (or a subpart thereof) denotes that the sequence in question is not present, in the noted state, in nature. In the present context the hinges have been altered from their native state, so that their sequences are no longer those found in wild-type antibodies. As will be appreciated by those of skill in the art, minibodies do not naturally occur in nature, and thus, any construct which is a minibody construct is also not found in nature. This also applies to at least some of the constructs found in and/or incorporating the sequences of any of the hinge sequence tables provided herein (for example, Table 0.2). In some embodiments, any of the hinge subparts or full hinge sequences in Table 0.1 can be artificial hinge sequences, as long as the sequence (or resulting combination for the hinge) does not occur in nature.
[0173] The term "full hinge region" or "entire hinge region" denotes the presence of the entire upper, core, and lower hinge regions as a single construct. The upper, core, and lower regions can be positioned immediately adjacent to one another, or additional residues can be added between, or N- or C-terminal to the regions. In some embodiments, the native lower hinge can be replaced with an extension sequence. In some embodiments, one can combine a native lower hinge with the extension sequence. In some embodiments, an extension or other set of sequences can be added after the upper and/or core sequences.
[0174] The phrase "effective hinge region" denotes that an adequate amount of part of at least one of the upper, core and lower hinge regions is present to allow the hinge region to be effective for its intended purpose. Thus, the phrase encompasses variants of hinge regions and fragments of the various hinge regions. In some embodiments, the function of the hinge region is one or more of the following: to link the scFv with the C.sub.H3 domain, provide flexibility and spacing for the two scFvs to bind to the target properly, to link two half molecules together, to provide overall stability to the molecule, and/or to provide a site for site-specific conjugation due to its solvent exposure. In some embodiments, the hinge should be close to natural as to reduce potential immunogenicity. In some embodiments, the upper hinge provides flexibility to scFv (starts at residue 216 in native IgGs), the middle hinge provides stability, and the lower hinge mediates flexibility to C.sub.H3 (starts at residue 231 in native IgGs).
[0175] The term "upper hinge" denotes the first part of the hinge that starts at the end of the scFv. Examples of upper hinge regions can be found in Table 0.1. The upper hinge includes the amino acids from the end of the scFv up to, but not including, the first cysteine residue in the core hinge as shown in Table 0.1. As above, the term "effective upper hinge" denotes that enough of the sequence is present to allow the section to function as an upper hinge; the term encompasses functional variants and fragments of the designated hinge section.
[0176] The term "core hinge" denotes the second part of the hinge region that is C-terminal to the upper hinge. Examples of core hinge regions can be found in Table 0.1. The core hinge contains the inter-chain disulfide bridges and a high content of prolines. As above, the term "effective core hinge" denotes that enough of the sequence is present to allow the section to function as a core hinge; the term encompasses functional variants and fragments of the designated hinge section.
[0177] The term "lower hinge" denotes the third part of the hinge region that is C-terminal to the core hinge. Examples of lower hinge regions can be found in Table 0.1. In the context of a minibody or antibody fragment, the lower hinge connects to the C.sub.H3 domain Mb. As above, the term "effective lower hinge" denotes that enough of the sequence is present to allow the section to function as a lower hinge; the term encompasses functional variants and fragments of the designated hinge section. The term "lower hinge" as used herein can encompass various amino acid sequences including naturally occurring IgG lower hinge sequences and artificial extension sequences in place of one another or a combination thereof provided herein. In some embodiments, the various extensions can be considered to be a lower hinge region in its entirety or a replacement.
[0178] The term "treating" or "treatment" of a condition can refer to preventing the condition, slowing the onset and/or rate of development of the condition, reducing the risk of developing the condition, preventing and/or delaying the development of symptoms associated with the condition, reducing or ending symptoms associated with the condition, generating a complete or partial regression of the condition, or some combination thereof. The term "prevent" does not require the absolute prohibition of the disorder or disease.
[0179] A "therapeutically effective amount" or a "therapeutically effective dose" is an amount that produces a desired therapeutic effect in a subject, such as preventing, treating a target condition, delaying the onset of the disorder and/or symptoms, and/or alleviating symptoms associated with the condition. This amount will vary depending upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to the characteristics of the therapeutic compound (including activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bioavailability), the physiological condition of the subject (including age, sex, disease type and stage, general physical condition, responsiveness to a given dosage, and type of medication), the nature of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or carriers in the formulation, and/or the route of administration. One skilled in the clinical and pharmacological arts will be able to determine a therapeutically effective amount through routine experimentation, for example by monitoring a subject's response to administration of a compound and adjusting the dosage accordingly, given the present disclosure. For additional guidance, see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 21.sup.st Edition, Univ. of Sciences in Philadelphia (USIP), Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa., 2005.
[0180] The term "antigen binding construct" includes all varieties of antibodies, including binding fragments thereof. Further included are constructs that include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and/or 6 CDRs. In some embodiments, tandem scFvs can be provided, which can provide two arms with bivalent binding. In some embodiments, these CDRs can be distributed between their appropriate framework regions in a traditional antibody. In some embodiments, the CDRs can be contained within a heavy and/or light chain variable region. In some embodiments, the CDRs can be within a heavy chain and/or a light chain. In some embodiments, the CDRs can be within a single peptide chain. Unless otherwise denoted herein, the antigen binding constructs described herein bind to the noted target molecule. The term "target" or "target molecule" denotes the protein to which the antigen binding construct binds. Examples of target proteins are known in the art, and include, for example PSMA (such as FOLH1) (FIG. 70; SEQ ID NO: 131), PSCA (FIG. 71; SEQ ID NO: 132), 5T4 (such as TPBG) (FIG. 72; SEQ ID NO: 133), CD8 (such as the .alpha.-chain) (FIG. 73; SEQ ID NO: 134), CD8 (such as the .beta.-chain) (FIG. 74; SEQ ID NO: 135), CD3 (such as the .delta.-chain) (FIG. 75; SEQ ID NO: 136), CD3 (such as the .gamma.-chain) (FIG. 76; SEQ ID NO: 137), CD3 (such as the .epsilon.-chain) (FIG. 77; SEQ ID NO: 138), CD3 (such as the (.zeta.-chain) (FIG. 78; SEQ ID NO: 139).
[0181] The term "antibody" includes, but is not limited to, genetically engineered or otherwise modified forms of immunoglobulins, such as intrabodies, chimeric antibodies, fully human antibodies, humanized antibodies, antibody fragments, scFv, and heteroconjugate antibodies (for example, bispecific antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, etc.). The term "antibody" includes scFv and minibodies. Thus, each and every embodiment provided herein in regard to "antibodies" is also envisioned as scFv and/or minibody embodiments, unless explicitly denoted otherwise. The term "antibody" includes a polypeptide of the immunoglobulin family or a polypeptide comprising fragments of an immunoglobulin that is capable of noncovalently, reversibly, and in a specific manner binding a corresponding antigen. An exemplary antibody structural unit comprises a tetramer. In some embodiments, a full length antibody can be composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" and one "heavy" chain (connected through a disulfide bond). The recognized immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon, hinge, and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. For full length chains, the light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. For full length chains, the heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, respectively. The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms variable light chain (V.sub.L) and variable heavy chain (V.sub.H) refer to these regions of light and heavy chains respectively. As used in this application, an "antibody" encompasses all variations of antibody and fragments thereof. Thus, within the scope of this concept are full length antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, single chain antibodies (scFv), Fab, Fab', and multimeric versions of these fragments (for example, F(ab').sub.2) with the same binding specificity. In some embodiments, the antibody binds specifically to a desired target.
[0182] The term "complementarity-determining domains" or "complementarity-determining regions ("CDRs") interchangeably refer to the hypervariable regions of V.sub.L and V.sub.H. The CDRs are the target molecule-binding site of the antibody chains that harbors specificity for such target molecule. In some embodiments, there are three CDRs (CDR1-3, numbered sequentially from the N-terminus) in each V.sub.L and/or V.sub.H, constituting about 15-20% of the variable domains. The CDRs are structurally complementary to the epitope of the target molecule and are thus directly responsible for the binding specificity. The remaining stretches of the V.sub.L or V.sub.H, the so-called framework regions (FRs), exhibit less variation in amino acid sequence (Kuby, Immunology, 4th ed., Chapter 4. W.H. Freeman & Co., New York, 2000).
[0183] The positions of the CDRs and framework regions can be determined using various well known definitions in the art, for example, Kabat (Wu, T. T. et al., "An analysis of the sequences of the variable regions of Bence Jones proteins and myeloma light chains and their implications for antibody complementarity," J. Exp. Med., Vol. 132, No. 2, pp. 211-250, 1970; Kabat, E. A. et al., "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest," 5th Ed., NIH Publication No. 91-3242, Bethesda, Md., 1991, Chothia C. et al., "Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 196, No. 4, pp. 901-917, 1987; Chothia C. et al., "Conformations of immunoglobulin hypervariable regions," Nature, Vol. 342, No. 6252, pp. 877-883, 1989; Chothia C. et al., "Structural repertoire of the human VH segments," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 227, No. 3, pp. 799-817, 1992; Al-Lazikani B. et al., "Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 273, No. 4, pp. 927-748, 1997), ImMunoGeneTics database (IMGT) (on the worldwide web at imgt.org/) (Giudicelli, V. et al., "IMGT/LIGM-DB, the IMGT.RTM. comprehensive database of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor nucleotide sequences," Nucleic Acids Res., Vol. 34 (Database Issue), pp. D781-D784, 2006; Lefranc, M. P. et al., "IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Ig superfamily V-like domains," Dev. Comp. Immunol., Vol. 27, No. 1, pp. 55-77, 2003; Brochet, X. et al., "IMGT/V-QUEST: the highly customized and integrated system for IG and TR standardized V-J and V-D-J sequence analysis," Nucleic Acids Res., Vol. 36 (Web Server Issue), pp. W503-508, 2008; AbM (Martin, A. C. et al., "Modeling antibody hypervariable loops: a combined algorithm," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., Vol. 86, No. 23, pp. 9268-9272, 1989); the contact definition (MacCallum, R. M. et al., "Antibody-antigen interactions: contact analysis and binding site topography," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 262, No. 5, pp. 732-745, 1996), and/or the automatic modeling and analysis tool (Honegger, A. et al., Accessible on the world wide web at bioc.uzh.ch/plueckthun/antibody/Numbering/).
[0184] The term "binding specificity determinant" or "BSD" interchangeably refer to the minimum contiguous or non-contiguous amino acid sequence within a complementarity determining region necessary for determining the binding specificity of an antibody. A minimum binding specificity determinant can be within one or more CDR sequences. In some embodiments, the minimum binding specificity determinants reside within (i.e., are determined solely by) a portion or the full-length of the CDR3 sequences of the heavy and light chains of the antibody. In some embodiments, CDR3 of the heavy chain variable region is sufficient for the antigen binding construct specificity.
[0185] An "antibody variable light chain" or an "antibody variable heavy chain" as used herein refers to a polypeptide comprising the V.sub.L or V.sub.H, respectively. The endogenous V.sub.L is encoded by the gene segments V (variable) and J (junctional), and the endogenous V.sub.H by V, D (diversity), and J. Each of V.sub.L or V.sub.H includes the CDRs as well as the framework regions. In this application, antibody variable light chains and/or antibody variable heavy chains may, from time to time, be collectively referred to as "antibody chains." These terms encompass antibody chains containing mutations that do not disrupt the basic structure of V.sub.L or V.sub.H, as one skilled in the art will readily recognize. In some embodiments, full length heavy and/or light chains are contemplated. In some embodiments, only the variable region of the heavy and/or light chains are contemplated as being present.
[0186] Antibodies can exist as intact immunoglobulins or as a number of fragments produced by digestion with various peptidases. Thus, for example, pepsin digests an antibody below the disulfide linkages in the hinge region to produce F(ab)'.sub.2, a dimer of Fab' which itself is a light chain (V.sub.L--C.sub.L) joined to V.sub.H-C.sub.H1 by a disulfide bond. The F(ab)'.sub.2 may be reduced under mild conditions to break the disulfide linkage in the hinge region, thereby converting the F(ab)'.sub.2 dimer into an Fab' monomer. The Fab' monomer is a Fab with part of the hinge region. (Paul, W. E., "Fundamental Immunology," 3d Ed., New York: Raven Press, 1993). While various antibody fragments are defined in terms of the digestion of an intact antibody, one of skill will appreciate that such fragments may be synthesized de novo either chemically or by using recombinant DNA methodology. Thus, the term "antibody," as used herein, also includes antibody fragments either produced by the modification of whole antibodies, or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies (for example, single chain Fv) or those identified using phage display libraries (see, for example, McCafferty, J. et al., "Phage antibodies: filamentous phage displaying antibody variable domains," Nature, Vol. 348, No. 66301, pp. 552-554, 1990).
[0187] For preparation of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, any technique known in the art can be used (see, for example, Kohler, G. et al., "Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity," Nature, Vol. 256, No. 5517, pp. 495-497, 1975; Kozbor, D. et al., "The production of monoclonal antibodies from human lymphocytes," Immunology Today, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 72-79, 1983; Cole, et al., "Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy," Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96, 1985; Wang, S., "Advances in the production of human monoclonal antibodies," Antibody Technology Journal, Vol. 1, pp. 1-4, 2011; Sharon, J. et al., "Recombinant polyclonal antibodies for cancer therapy," J. Cell Biochem., Vol. 96, No. 2, pp. 305-313, 2005; Haurum, J. S., "Recombinant polyclonal antibodies: the next generation of antibody therapeutics?," Drug Discov. Today, Vol. 11, No. 13-14, pp. 655-660, 2006). Techniques for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778) can be adapted to produce antibodies to polypeptides of this invention. Also, transgenic mice, or other organisms such as other mammals, may be used to express fully human monoclonal antibodies. Alternatively, phage display technology can be used to identify high affinity binders to selected antigens (see, for example, McCafferty et al., supra; Marks, J. D. et al., "By-passing immunization: building high affinity human antibodies by chain shuffling," Biotechnology (N. Y.), Vol. 10, No. 7, pp. 779-783, 1992).
[0188] Methods for humanizing or primatizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as import residues, which are typically taken from an import variable domain. In some embodiments, the terms "donor" and "acceptor" sequences can be employed. Humanization can be essentially performed following the method of Winter and co-workers (see, for example, Jones, P. T. et al., "Replacing the complementarity-determining regions in a human antibody with those from a mouse," Nature, Vol. 321, No. 6069, pp. 522-525, 1986; Riechmann, L. et al., "Reshaping human antibodies for therapy," Nature, Vol. 332, No. 6162, pp. 323-327, 1988; Verhoeyen, M. et al., "Reshaping human antibodies: grafting an antilysozyme activity," Science, Vol. 239, No. 4847, pp. 1534-1536, 1988; Presta, L. G., "Antibody engineering,", Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., Vol. 2, No. 4, pp. 593-596, 1992), by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Accordingly, such humanized antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567), wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which some complementarity determining region ("CDR") residues and possibly some framework ("FR") residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.
[0189] A "chimeric antibody" is an antibody molecule in which (a) the constant region, or a portion thereof, is altered, replaced or exchanged so that the antigen binding site (variable region) is linked to a constant region of a different or altered class, effector function and/or species, or an entirely different molecule which confers new properties to the chimeric antibody, for example, an enzyme, toxin, hormone, growth factor, and drug; or (b) the variable region, or a portion thereof, is altered, replaced or exchanged with a variable region having a different or altered antigen specificity.
[0190] Antibodies further include one or more immunoglobulin chains that are chemically conjugated to, or expressed as, fusion proteins with other proteins. It also includes bispecific antibodies. A bispecific or bifunctional antibody is an artificial hybrid antibody having two different heavy/light chain pairs and two different binding sites.
[0191] Other antigen-binding fragments or antibody portions of the invention include, bispecific scFv antibodies where the antibody molecule recognizes two different epitopes, single binding domains (sdAb or nanobodies), and minibodies.
[0192] The term "antibody fragment" includes, but is not limited to one or more antigen binding fragments of antibodies alone or in combination with other molecules, including, but not limited to Fab', F(ab').sub.2, Fab, Fv, rIgG (reduced IgG), scFv fragments, single domain fragments (nanobodies), peptibodies, minibodies. The term "scFv" refers to a single chain Fv ("fragment variable") antibody in which the variable domains of the heavy chain and of the light chain of a traditional two chain antibody have been joined to form one chain.
[0193] A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle that is involved in carrying or transporting a compound of interest from one tissue, organ, or portion of the body to another tissue, organ, or portion of the body. For example, the carrier may be a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material, or some combination thereof. Each component of the carrier is "pharmaceutically acceptable" in that it is be compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation. It also must be suitable for contact with any tissue, organ, or portion of the body that it may encounter, meaning that it must not carry a risk of toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or any other complication that excessively outweighs its therapeutic benefits. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered by any suitable route of administration. A route of administration may refer to any administration pathway known in the art, including but not limited to aerosol, enteral, nasal, ophthalmic, oral, parenteral, rectal, transdermal (for example, topical cream or ointment, patch), or vaginal. "Transdermal" administration may be accomplished using a topical cream or ointment or by means of a transdermal patch. "Parenteral" refers to a route of administration that is generally associated with injection, including infraorbital, infusion, intraarterial, intracapsular, intracardiac, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, intraspinal, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrauterine, intravenous, subarachnoid, subcapsular, subcutaneous, transmucosal, or transtracheal. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be delivered intraoperatively as a local administration during an intervention or resection.
[0194] The term "target molecule dependent disorder" "or "target molecule associated disorder" includes any disorder in which the target molecule plays a role in the disorder itself. In some embodiments, this denotes over-expression of the target molecule. In some embodiments, the disorders can include any of the disorders discussed herein. In some embodiments, the disorder can be any for which there is a target molecule that can be targeted by binding, whose binding will result in the detection and/or treatment of the disorder. Without limitation, the target molecule can be CD8, CD3, 5T4, PSMA, and/or PSCA, for example.
[0195] A minibody is an antibody format that has a smaller molecular weight than the full-length antibody while maintaining the bivalent binding property against an antigen. Because of its smaller size, absence of CH2 domain that binds Fc-gamma and FcRN receptors, absence of glycosylation, the minibody has a faster clearance from the system and potentially enhanced penetration when targeting tumor tissue. With the ability for strong targeting combined with rapid clearance, the minibody is advantageous for diagnostic imaging and delivery of radioactive payloads for which prolonged circulation times may result in adverse patient dosing or dosimetry. In some embodiments, it can also be advantageous for delivery of a cytotoxic payload due to the above-mentioned features such as tumor penetration and faster clearance. A "minibody" as described herein, encompasses a homodimer, wherein each monomer is a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) linked to a human IgG C.sub.H3 domain by a hinge sequence. In some embodiments, a minibody is a bivalent or bispecific, covalently bound homodimer of .about.80 kDa. In some embodiments, each monomer (half-molecule) is comprised of a variable heavy (V.sub.H) domain linked to the corresponding variable light (V.sub.L) domain by an approximate 15-18 amino acid Gly-Ser-rich linker sequence.
[0196] In some embodiments, each single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is linked to a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 C.sub.H3 domain by a hinge sequence.
[0197] In some embodiments a lower hinge/extension sequence can be a native IgG1, 2, 3 or 4 lower hinge, an/or (G.sub.3)S.sub.n or (G.sub.4)S.sub.n (n can be any number of S's; in some embodiments it is 1 or 2) and/or no lower hinge and/or any combination of amino acids (doesn't have to be G's and S's). In some embodiments, the lower hinge/extension sequence can comprise GGGSSGGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 59).
[0198] In some embodiments, a linker can be any that will work. In some embodiments, a linker sequence can include a motif that is (G.sub.3)S.sub.n or (G.sub.4)S.sub.n (n can be any number of S's; in some embodiments it is 1 or 2). In some embodiments, the linker can comprise GSTSGGGSGGGSGGGGSS (SEQ ID NO: 62).
[0199] The phrase "specifically (or selectively) bind," when used in the context of describing the interaction between an antigen, for example, a protein, to an antibody or antibody-derived binding agent, refers to a binding reaction that is determinative of the presence of the antigen in a heterogeneous population of proteins and other biologics, for example, in a biological sample, for example, a blood, serum, plasma or tissue sample. Thus, under designated immunoassay conditions, in some embodiments, the antibodies or binding agents with a particular binding specificity bind to a particular antigen at least two times the background and do not substantially bind in a significant amount to other antigens present in the sample. Specific binding to an antibody or binding agent under such conditions may require the antibody or agent to have been selected for its specificity for a particular protein. A variety of immunoassay formats may be used to select antibodies specifically immunoreactive with a particular protein. For example, solid-phase ELISA immunoassays are routinely used to select antibodies specifically immunoreactive with a protein (see, for example, Harlow, E. & Lane D., "Using Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual," Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1998, for a description of immunoassay formats and conditions that can be used to determine specific immunoreactivity). Typically a specific or selective binding reaction will produce a signal at least twice over the background signal and more typically at least than 10 to 100 times over the background.
[0200] The term "equilibrium dissociation constant (K.sub.D, M)" refers to the dissociation rate constant (k.sub.d, time.sup.-1) divided by the association rate constant (k.sub.a, time.sup.-1 M.sup.-1). Equilibrium dissociation constants can be measured using any known method in the art. The antibodies of the present invention generally will have an equilibrium dissociation constant of less than about 10.sup.-7 or 10.sup.-8 M, for example, less than about 10.sup.-9 M or 10.sup.-10 M, in some embodiments, less than about 10.sup.-11 M, 10.sup.-12 M, or 10.sup.-13 M.
[0201] The term "isolated," when applied to a nucleic acid or protein, denotes that the nucleic acid or protein is essentially free of other cellular components with which it is associated in the natural state. In some embodiments, it can be in either a dry or aqueous solution. Purity and homogeneity can be determined using analytical chemistry techniques such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography. A protein that is the predominant species present in a preparation is substantially purified. In particular, an isolated gene is separated from open reading frames that flank the gene and encode a protein other than the gene of interest. The term "purified" denotes that a nucleic acid or protein gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel. In some embodiments, this can denote that the nucleic acid or protein is at least 85% pure, more preferably at least 95% pure, and most preferably at least 99% pure of molecules that are present under in vivo conditions.
[0202] The term "nucleic acid" or "polynucleotide" refers to deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA) and polymers thereof in either single- or double-stranded form. Unless specifically limited, the term encompasses nucleic acids containing known analogues of natural nucleotides that have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (for example, degenerate codon substitutions), alleles, orthologs, SNPs, and complementary sequences as well as the sequence explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer, M. A. et al., "Enhanced evolutionary PCR using oligonucleotides with inosine at the 3'-terminus," Nucleic Acid Res., Vol. 19, No. 18, pp. 5081, 1991; Ohtsuka, E. et al., "An alternative approach to deoxyoligonucleotides as hybridization probes by insertion of deoxyinosine at ambiguous codon positions," J.

[0203] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The terms apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymer.
[0204] The term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, for example, hydroxyproline, gamma-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, for example, an alpha-carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, for example, homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (for example, norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refers to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0205] The term "conservatively modified variants" applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. With respect to particular nucleic acid sequences, conservatively modified variants refers to those nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or where the nucleic acid does not encode an amino acid sequence, to essentially identical sequences. Because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids encode any given protein. For instance, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG and GCU all encode the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where an alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variations are "silent variations," which are one species of conservatively modified variations. Every nucleic acid sequence herein which encodes a polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the nucleic acid. One of skill will recognize that each codon in a nucleic acid (except AUG, which is ordinarily the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan) can be modified to yield a functionally identical molecule. Accordingly, each silent variation of a nucleic acid that encodes a polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence.
[0206] As to amino acid sequences, one of skill will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters, adds or deletes a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence is a "conservatively modified variant" where the alteration results in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to and do not exclude polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles of the invention.
[0207] The following eight groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Glycine (G); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W); 7) Serine (S), Threonine (T); and 8) Cysteine (C), Methionine (M) (see, for example, Creighton, T. E., "Proteins--Structures and Molecular Properties," W. H. Freeman & Co. Ltd., 1984).
[0208] The term "percentage of sequence identity" can be determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (for example, a polypeptide of the invention), which does not comprise additions or deletions, for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
[0209] The terms "identical" or percent "identity," in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same sequences. Two sequences are "substantially identical" if two sequences have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (for example, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity over a specified region, or, when not specified, over the entire sequence of a reference sequence), when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by manual alignment and visual inspection. Some embodiments provided herein provide polypeptides or polynucleotides that are substantially identical to the polypeptides or polynucleotides, respectively, exemplified herein (for example, any one or more of the variable regions exemplified in any one of Tables 0.1, 0.2, 1, 2, or 3 and FIGS. 5B-5E, 7C, 7D, 14B, 15B, 16B-16D, 20C-20G, 21B-21E, 22B, 28B-28E, 29B-29D, 32, 33, 35A-35C, 36A-36E, 40-69, 79, 80 and any one or more of the nucleic acid sequences exemplified in any one of FIGS. 7E, 34A-34F, 41-46, 48-53, 55-59, 61-64, 65A, 65B, and 65C). Optionally, the identity exists over a region that is at least about 15, 25 or 50 nucleotides in length, or more preferably over a region that is 100 to 500 or 1000 or more nucleotides in length, or over the full length of the reference sequence. With respect to amino acid sequences, identity or substantial identity can exist over a region that is at least 5, 10, 15 or 20 amino acids in length, optionally at least about 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75 or 100 amino acids in length, optionally at least about 150, 200 or 250 amino acids in length, or over the full length of the reference sequence. With respect to shorter amino acid sequences, for example, amino acid sequences of 20 or fewer amino acids, in some embodiments, substantial identity exists when one or two amino acid residues are conservatively substituted, according to the conservative substitutions defined herein.
[0210] In some embodiments, the percent identity is over the hinge regions noted herein (the hinge region and/or its subparts of upper, core, and lower hinge regions). In such situations, the percent identity of the hinge region or its subpart can be identified separately from the rest of the protein or nucleic acid sequence. Thus, two hinge regions (or upper, core, and/or lower regions) can have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (for example, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity over a specified region, or, when not specified, over the entire sequence of a reference sequence), while allowing for the remainder of the protein to either stay 100% identical to the comparison protein, our while also allowing the remainder of the protein to also have variation by a specified percent identity.
[0211] For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.
[0212] A "comparison window", as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 20 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, for example, by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1970) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482c, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman, S. B. et al., "A general method applicable to the search for similarities in the amino acid sequence of two proteins," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 48, No. 3, pp. 443-453, 1970, by the search for similarity method of Pearson, W. R. et al., "Improved tools for biological sequence comparison," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., Vol. 85, No. 8, pp. 2444-2448, 1988, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, for example, Ausubel, F. M. et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Supplement, 1995).
[0213] Two examples of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul, S. F. et al., "Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs," Nucleic Acids Res., Vol. 25, No. 17, pp. 3389-3402, 1977, and Altschul, S. F. et al., "Basic local alignment search tool," J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 215, No. 3, pp. 403-410, 1990, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul, S. F. et al., supra). These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0). For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 11, an expectation (E) or 10, M=5, N=-4 and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength of 3, and expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see, Henikoff, S. et al., "Amino acid substitution matrices from protein blocks," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., Vol. 89, No. 22, pp. 10915-10919, 1992) alignments (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands.
[0214] The BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, for example, Karlin, S. et al., "Applications and statistics for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., Vol. 90, No. 12, pp. 5873-5787, 1993). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.2, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.
[0215] An indication that two nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides are substantially identical is that the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross reactive with the antibodies raised against the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid, as described below. Thus, in some embodiments, a polypeptide is typically substantially identical to a second polypeptide, for example, where the two peptides differ only by conservative substitutions. Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the two molecules or their complements hybridize to each other under stringent conditions, as described below. Yet another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the same primers can be used to amplify the sequence.
[0216] The terms "subject," "patient," and "individual" interchangeably refer to an entity that is being examined and/or treated. This can include, for example, a mammal, for example, a human or a non-human primate mammal. The mammal can also be a laboratory mammal, for example, mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster. In some embodiments, the mammal can be an agricultural mammal (for example, equine, ovine, bovine, porcine, camelid) or domestic mammal (for example, canine, feline).
[0217] The term "co-administer" refers to the administration of two active agents in the blood of an individual or in a sample to be tested. Active agents that are co-administered can be concurrently or sequentially delivered.
Antigen Binding Constructs
[0218] It is herein appreciated that the sequences within the hinge region can be of special relevance for various antigen binding constructs. In some embodiments, the value of the hinge region can be especially high, such as in a minibody arrangement. The sequences within the hinge can include disulfide bonds which are useful for hinge function but can have varying results when altered. As disclosed herein, and shown in the examples below, in some embodiments, the hinge region sequences can be configured to prevent and/or reduce undesirable disulfide scrambling with cysteine residues present in other regions of the protein and/or contain sufficient numbers of cysteine pairs to maintain dimer integrity in vivo, prevent concatamers from forming and/or allow for site specific conjugation to one of the paired cysteines.
[0219] In some embodiments, the stability of a minibody dimer in vivo can be attributed to natural Van-der-Waals association between the C.sub.H3 domains, formation of disulfide bonds within the hinge regions, and/or interactions between V.sub.H and V.sub.L. To date most minibodies have been engineered using the human IgG1 upper and core hinge regions with an extension sequence linked to the human IgG1 C.sub.H3 domain. In addition to the above noted variables, both orientations of a minibody (e.g., V.sub.L-V.sub.H (M1) and V.sub.H-V.sub.L (M2) scFv variants) are herein provided and characterized, as the orientation of the constructs can also alter their characteristics (as shown in the examples below).
[0220] Some previous hinges (e.g., huIgG1 hinge-extension or .gamma.1 EH1) have included a native huIgG1 in the upper hinge (FIG. 2). This cysteine at position 245 in the context of human IgG1 as defined by Kabat and indicated by the first circle, creates problems with both protein heterogeneity and stability in the minibody format based on the disulfide mapping by LC/MS, SDS-PAGE analysis and in vivo biodistribution data. As shown in the examples below, in some embodiments, Cys245 can be mutated to serine, resulting in an artificial hinge or "EH2 hinge" as described herein. Thus, removal of this cysteine from a strand (as shown in the examples below), has resulted in an improved hinge region. In some embodiments, the resulting construct (which lacks the first cysteine in the hinge region) is not strong enough to maintain minibody dimer stability in vivo with the two remaining disulfide bridges (in regard to .gamma.1 EH/EH2). Thus, as shown in the examples below, the introduction of a third or greater number of cysteines per strand can be made (for example, within the core region) to create an improved construct. In some embodiments, providing a 3rd (or more) cysteine in the hinge (an additional cysteine over IgG1 native hinge, per strand) increases disulfide bonding and increases protein stability. In some embodiments, the added stability afforded by increasing disulfide bonds in the hinge region allows for site specific conjugation to one or more than one of the cysteines with maintenance of intact dimer. In some embodiments, the huIgG2 minibodies of IAB2M, 20M, 1M, and IAB22M involve human IgG2 (huIgG2) hinge/extension sequence linked to the huIgG2 C.sub.H3 domain. Thus, in some embodiments, the C.sub.H3 domain can be a huIgG2 C.sub.H3 domain. In some embodiments, any option for creating a covalent bond between the two strands of the peptide can be employed instead of cysteines for forming a disulfide bond.
[0221] In the present application, when a reference to an introduction of a cysteine is made (unless otherwise noted), it denotes the introduction of a cysteine per strand of the hinge (which comprises two strands). Thus, 3, 4, 5, or 6 cysteines within a strand will mean 6, 8, 10, or 12 cysteines within a hinge, and 3, 4, 5, or 6 possible disulfide bonds being present (of course, unless noted, the number of disulfide bonds can be different, as some could be used for labels and other uses).
[0222] In some embodiments, the IgG2 hinge/extension--.gamma.2 EH1--resulted in an increase in aggregation, where the reactive first hinge cysteine was responsible for concatamer formation in IAB2M-.gamma.2 EH1 format. In such embodiments, the native huIgG2 upper hinge can be employed.
[0223] The above aspects were then considered in developing a second configuration of some of the embodiments of a hinge construct. In this second arrangement, the first hinge cysteine (one that pairs with the kappa light chain in a native antibody) was mutated to serine resulting in IgG2 EH2 (.gamma.2 EH2). This construct expressed well and had good stability in vivo, had all 3 disulfide bonds formed properly as shown by intact mass analysis, and had stability demonstrated with both IAB2M and IAB22M constructs (as shown in the examples below). Thus, in some embodiments an IgG2 artificial or modified hinge, in which the first cysteine has been altered is provided herein and provides for an improved minibody construct.
[0224] As demonstrated in the examples below, the results showed that it was advantageous to mutate the first hinge cysteine of the IgG1 and IgG2 hinges to prevent cysteine mis-pairing. As demonstrated in the examples below, the results showed that it was advantageous to have more than 2 cysteine residues in core hinge region per strand to maintain structural integrity of protein. As demonstrated in the examples below, the results showed that the IgG2 hinge provides one solution to increase stability in vivo. Thus, higher in vivo stability antigen binding constructs, such as minibodies, are provided herein.
[0225] In some embodiments, an IgG2 hinge can be employed. In some embodiments, an IgG2 hinge can be employed where the first hinge cysteine is mutated. In some embodiments, mutation of the terminal lysine (K) in the Mb constructs did not impact protein expression but did generate protein with more uniform charge.
[0226] As discussed in the examples, additional Mb variants were evaluated based on upper IgG3 hinge and modified IgG1 core hinge sequences where at least 3 cysteine residues were present in the core hinge region per strand. As outlined in the examples below, IAB2M, IAB22M and IAB20M constructs were evaluated to demonstrate universality of findings across various constructs having different orientations and different targets. The results indicate that the advantages described herein regarding the presently disclosed hinges would be available and applicable to any and all antigen binding constructs and minibodies in particular.
[0227] In some embodiments, the hinges can be peptide hinges and/or nucleic acid sequences that encode for the peptide hinges. All discussions regarding the peptide form of the hinges provided herein also designate corresponding structures and functions for nucleic acid sequences encoding the peptides. In some embodiments, the hinges can be incorporated into an antigen binding construct, such as an antibody, such as a minibody. Any hinge or subpart of a hinge (such as an upper hinge, core hinge, and/or lower hinge region) can be incorporated into any of the antigen binding constructs provided herein, including, but not limited to those in: Tables 0.1, 0.2, 1, 2, or 3 and FIGS. 5B-5E, 7C, 7D, 14B, 15B, 16B-16D, 20C-20G, 21B-21E, 22B, 28B-28E, 29B-29D, 32, 33, 35A-35C, 36A-36E, 40-69, 79, 80 and any one or more of the nucleic acid sequences exemplified in any one of FIGS. 7E, 34A-34F, 41-46, 48-53, 55-59, 61-64, 65A, 65B, and 65C. In some embodiments, the hinge can include any one or more of the sequences or subparts shown in Table 0.1. In some embodiments, any of the lower hinges can then be connected directly or indirectly to a C.sub.H3 domain.

[0228] In some embodiments, the hinge comprises, consists of, or consists essentially of any of the sequences in Table 0.1 above. In some embodiments, the hinge consists of each of a designated upper, core, and lower hinge region in Table 0.1. In some embodiments, any one of the above subparts (such as the upper, core and/or lower hinge) can also be provided as a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the variants have substantial identity to the sequences above. In some embodiments, the variants have one, two, or three amino acids difference from the sequences noted above. In some embodiments, the variants have one, two, or three amino acids difference from the sequences noted above and the differences are conservative differences.
[0229] In some embodiments the CPPC (SEQ ID NO: 50) motif in the core region can be altered to any other effective core motif, as long as the number and/or effectiveness of the covalent bonds presented in the table above are adequately replaced.
[0230] In some embodiments, a peptide hinge region for an antibody is provided. The hinge region can include an upper hinge region that comprises no amino acids capable of crosslinking with a corresponding amino acid. The amino acid hinge region can further include a core hinge region connected C-terminal to the upper hinge region. In some embodiments, the core hinge region comprises at least three cysteines on each side of the hinge (so at least six cysteines for the assembled structure). In some embodiments, the amino acid hinge region further comprises a lower hinge or extension region connected C-terminal to the core hinge region. In some embodiments, the lower hinge or extension region can include at least one of: APPVAGP (SEQ ID NO: 60), APELLGGP (SEQ ID NO: 58), or GGGSSGGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 59).
[0231] In some embodiments, the upper hinge region comprises no cysteines that crosslink within the upper hinge region. In some embodiments, the upper hinge region comprises no cysteines. In some embodiments, the amino acid hinge region further comprises a lower hinge region. In some embodiments, these constructs are non-naturally occurring constructs.
[0232] In some embodiments, a variant minibody hinge region is provided. The variant minibody hinge region comprises a first altered amino acid position. The first altered amino acid position is an amino acid that in a native antibody hinge would be a cysteine, and has been altered in the first altered position so that it does not form a disulfide bond. The variant minibody hinge region further includes at least three cysteines C-terminal to the first altered amino acid position per strand. In some embodiments, 4, 5, 6, or more cysteines can be present C-terminal to the first altered amino acid position per strand. In some embodiments, these additional cysteines are fully contained within the core region of the hinge (of course, the core hinge can be modified and expanded beyond wild-type sequences such that the additional cysteines can be added). In some embodiments, the hinge region consists of SEQ ID NO: 1 (X.sub.n1CX.sub.n2X.sub.n3CX.sub.n4X.sub.n5C). In some embodiments, SEQ ID NO: 1 is a core hinge region, and the core hinge region essentially consists of SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, the core hinge region consists of SEQ ID NO: 1. In the description noted above, the number of cysteines relates to the number of cysteines in a single hinge region of the peptide chain. It will be understood that the number of cysteines in the dimeric form of the hinge (where the peptide chains are crosslinked to one another) will be twice as many, as the noted cysteines are each part of a disulfide bind involving two cysteines.
[0233] In some embodiments, Mb constructs contain antigen binding scFvs with variable linker lengths that can be in either V.sub.L-V.sub.H or V.sub.H-V.sub.L orientation. Any disclosure provided herein regarding one orientation also contemplates the reverse orientation and both orientations. In some embodiments, any hinge sequence described in Table 0.1 can be added C-terminal to scFvs. In some embodiments, any C.sub.H3 domain from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 antibodies can be added C-terminal to scFvs and appropriate hinges. In some embodiments, to ensure appropriate disulfide bonding, the first hinge cysteine (cysteine that usually pairs with light chain in native IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 antibodies) is mutated to a serine or alanine or other appropriate amino acid to prevent disulfide scrambling and/or concatemerization. In some embodiments, to reduce the presence or prevent formation of half-molecules and ensure optimal stability in vivo, the hinge region can contain at least 3 disulfide bonds, in some embodiments it can have more. In some embodiments, at least 3 disulfide bonds are present in the hinge located at appropriate distances from one another are included to prevent improper disulfide bonds forming and ensure proper disulfide bond formation. In some embodiments, 3 disulfide bonds in the hinge are located at appropriate distances from one another are included for protein stability in vivo and clearance through liver rather than renal clearance. In some embodiments, at least 3 disulfides bonds (for example, 4 or more) in the hinge are provided to afford using a cysteine as a handle, following gentle reduction of the disulfides, of drugs, metal chelators, radionuclides, radioisotopes, site specific conjugation of a chelator then attachment of a radioisotope to the chelator, or fluorescent dyes using cysteine as a site of attachment. As appreciated by one of skill in the art, the presence of each single disulfide bond indicates the presence of two cysteines, one on each peptide sequence of the hinge.

Properties
[0256] In some embodiments, the hinges provided herein can allow for a lower percentage of the half-molecule to form and/or be present in any minibody or other antigen binding construct composition. For example, less can 7% of the composition can be the half molecule, including ranges such as less than 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and/or 0.5% of composition being the half-molecule.
[0257] In some embodiments when the hinge is located within a minibody, and when the minibody is administered to a human subject, clearance of the minibody from the subject may occur through liver and/or kidney. In some embodiments, clearance through the liver is at least 10% or more, for example 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100%. In some embodiments, when located within a minibody, and when the minibody is administered to a human subject, clearance of the minibody from the subject may occur primarily through the kidneys. In some embodiments, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 fold or more of the antibody is cleared through the kidney.
[0258] In some embodiments, less than 30% aggregation of an minibody is present in an minibody composition. In some embodiments, less than 20% aggregation of an minibody is present in an minibody composition. In some embodiments, less than 10% aggregation of an minibody is present in an minibody composition. In some embodiments, less than 5% aggregation of an minibody is present in an minibody composition. In some embodiments, less than 1% aggregation of a minibody is present in an minibody composition.
[0259] When the minibody remains as a dimer in circulation in vivo, then protein clearance is predicted to occur through the liver primarily. In contrast, when the half-molecule is present, then its clearance will be through the kidney. Thus, in some embodiments, the above clearance aspects are a way of characterizing the amount of resulting half-molecule present in a subject, in vivo, allowing one to determine if the administered whole molecule remains as a whole molecule in vivo, or if it breaks down to the half molecule. In some embodiments, the minibody composition is one in which clearance through the liver is relatively high compared to clearance through the kidney, and tumor uptake of the minibody is relatively high. In some embodiments, the ratio of kidney to liver is less than 1. In some embodiments, at least 1% more uptake occurs through the liver than then kidney, for example, at least 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 80, 90, 100, or more uptake occurs through the liver than through the kidney. In some embodiments, uptake of kidney to liver is 0.9:1, 1:10, 1:100, 1:000, 1:10,000, etc. In some embodiments, the various hinge constructs provided herein have lower clearance through the kidneys than the EH1 hinge from IgG1.
[0260] In some embodiments, mutation of the first hinge cysteine to serine in IgG1 hinge region (.gamma.1 EH2) to prevent undesired interaction with other unpaired cysteine generated a protein with a better profile in vitro. However, the high clearance through the kidneys, compared to the liver, may be indicative of protein instability and dissociation into half molecules in vivo. In some embodiments, minibodies having an IgG2 hinge are provided wherein the first hinge cysteine is mutated to a serine (.gamma.2 EH2 and others), have the property of being cleared through the liver as predicted for proteins of approx. 80 kDa. This indicates that the molecule remains intact in vivo. In some embodiments, the molecule remains intact for 48 hours or longer.
[0261] In some embodiments, the hinge construct provided herein have less than 9% half molecules present due to an unpaired first hinge cysteine. In some embodiments, an IgG2 hinge with a first cysteine to serine has greater than 99% intact dimer protein present, such as that with .gamma.2 EH2. In some embodiments, a .gamma.2 hinge variant results in lower kidney uptake. In some embodiments, a Mb made with an huIgG1 hinge (.gamma.1 EH1) is rapidly cleared through the kidney resulting in low tumor targeting. In some embodiments, a Mb made with huIgG2 hinge variants, either Extended Hinge (.gamma.2 EH2) or Natural Hinge (.gamma.2 NH1) shows greater stability in vivo with high tumor targeting and lower kidney clearance.
[0262] In some embodiments, .gamma.1 minibodies with EH2 hinge assemble properly into intact dimeric molecules but inclusion of only 2 cysteine yields protein with a high amount of half molecule. In some embodiments, .gamma.1 minibodies with EH3 hinge assemble properly into intact dimeric molecules and addition of 3rd cysteine per strand yield protein with very low levels of half molecule. In some embodiments, the level of half molecule is less than 15%, for example less than 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or less than 1% of half molecule is present.
[0263] In some embodiments, even though the hinge region has been varied and is different from that described in the past, the CDRs, V.sub.H/V.sub.LS or full amino acid sequences of the minibodies still bind to the target molecule with the same affinity as an antibody (such as a minibody) with the previous style hinge. Thus, in some embodiments, the presence of a hinge as provided herein does not alter or negatively impact the binding affinity of the antigen binding construct, while still providing one or more of the benefits and/or structures provided herein.
[0264] In some embodiments, a minibody comprising a sequence X.sub.n1CX.sub.n2X.sub.n3CX.sub.n4X.sub.n5C (SEQ ID NO: 3) is provided.

[0271] Depicted in Table 0.2 are arrangements of sequences for monomers that can be used in minibodies (Table 0.2). Each row of the table represents the sequence of a monomer construct, with left-to-right representing N-terminus to C-terminus. In some embodiments, the shown sequences of each monomer construct are directly linked to each other. Thus, in some embodiments, the construct can include any of the constructs on a single row in Table 0.2. In some embodiments, the constructs can include any combination in Table 0.2. In some embodiments, for example, the first item in the first row, column 3 can be combined with the first row, column 4 to the first row column 5, to the first row column 6-8, to the first row, column 9. In some embodiments, column 3 and column 5 can be swapped with one another.

[0276] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes a detectable marker. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes a therapeutic agent.
[0277] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is bivalent. Bivalent antigen binding construct can include at least a first antigen binding domain, for example a first scFv, and at least a second antigen binding domain, for example a second scFv. In some embodiments, a bivalent antigen binding construct is a multimer that includes at least two monomers, for example at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 monomers, each of which has an antigen binding domain. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is a minibody. In some embodiments, one or more subparts of the hinges provided herein are included in the bivalent construct. The minibody can include any of the CDR and heavy chain variable region and/or light chain variable region embodiments provided herein (for example, the CDR sequences provided in FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C). In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is a monovalent scFv. In some embodiments, a monovalent scFv is provided that includes the heavy chain CDR1 (HCDR1) in the HCDR1 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C the heavy chain CDR2 (HCDR2) in the HCDR2 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C, the HCDR3 in the HCDR3 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C, the light chain CDR1 (LCDR1) in the LCDR1 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C, the light chain CDR2 (LCDR2) in the LCDR2 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C, and the light chain CDR3 (LCDR3) in the LCDR3 of FIG. 41, 48, 55, 61, 65B, or 65C. In some embodiments, the monovalent scFv includes the heavy chain variable region of the heavy chain variable region in FIG. 36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 65B, or 65C. In some embodiments, the monovalent scFv includes the light chain variable region of the light chain variable region in FIG. 36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 65B, or 65C. In some embodiments, the monovalent scFv includes the heavy chain variable region of the heavy chain variable region in FIG. 66, 68 or 69, and the light chain variable region of the light chain variable region in FIG. 67 or 69.
[0278] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is bispecific. Bispecific constructs can include at least a first binding domain, for example an scFv that binds specifically to a first epitope, and at least a second binding domain, for example an scFv that binds specifically to a second epitope. Thus, bispecific antigen binding constructs can bind to two or more epitopes. In some embodiments, the first epitope and the second epitope are part of the same antigen, and the bispecific antigen binding construct can thus bind to two epitopes of the same antigen. In some embodiments, the first epitope is part of a first antigen, and the second epitope is part of a second antigen, and the bispecific antigen binding construct can thus bind to two different antigens. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct binds to two epitopes simultaneously.
[0279] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct has a heavy chain variable region of the heavy chain variable region in SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, 68, 99, 102 or 104, and/or the sequences in FIGS. 65B and 65C. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct has a heavy chain variable region that includes a sequence with at least about 80% identity, for example at least about 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity to SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, 68, 99, 102 or 104 and/or the sequences in FIGS. 65B and 65C. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct has a light chain variable region that includes SEQ ID NO: 13, 15, 17, 19, 67, 100, 101 or 103 and/or the sequences in FIGS. 65B and 65C. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct has a light chain variable region that includes a sequence with least about 80% identity, for example at least about 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity to SEQ ID NO: 13, 15, 17, 19, 67, 100, 101 or 103 and/or the sequences in FIGS. 65B and 65C. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is a human antigen binding construct and has a heavy chain variable region, a light chain variable region, or a heavy and light chain that is at least as identical as at least the heavy and/or light chain variable sequences noted above.
[0280] Some embodiments provided herein include an antigen binding construct that competes for binding to the target molecule with one or more antigen binding constructs provided herein, and includes one or more of the hinge subparts provided herein (such as in Table 0.1). In some embodiments, the competing antigen binding construct binds to the same epitope on the target molecule as the reference antigen binding construct. In some embodiments, the reference antigen binding construct binds to a first epitope of the target molecule, and the competing antigen binding construct binds to a second epitope of the target molecule, but interferes with binding of the reference antigen binding construct to the target molecule, for example by sterically blocking binding of the reference antigen binding construct, or by inducing a conformational change in the target molecule. In some embodiments, the first epitope overlaps with the second epitope.
[0281] In some embodiments, the scFv and/or minibody formats have advantageous pharmacokinetic characteristics for diagnostic imaging and certain therapeutic applications while maintaining the high binding affinity and specificity of a parental antibody. Compared to imaging with the full-length parental antibody, the pharmacokinetics are more desirable for these fragments in that they are able to target the antigen and then rapidly clear the system for rapid high-contrast imaging. In some embodiments, the shorter circulation half-lives for the minibody allow for optimal imaging over a range of times from approximately 6-48 72 hours (depends on clearance and level of antigen "sink" and half-life of isotope that is chelated to Mb) hours post injection for the minibody. The rapid blood clearance together with better tissue penetration can allow for same day imaging, which can provide a significant advantage in the clinic with respect to patient care management.
[0282] In some embodiments, the antibody fragments can comprise one, two, or three of the variable light region CDRs and/or one, two, or three of the variable heavy region CDRs from a PSCA, 5T4, PSMA, CD3 or CD8 antibody. For example, an antibody fragment may contain one, two or three of the variable region CDRs and/or one, two, or three of the variable heavy region CDRs of murine versions of the PSCA, 5T4, PSMA, CD3 or CD8 antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody fragment comprises one or more CDR regions from the variable heavy or light regions of a humanized PSCA, 5T4, PSMA, CD3 or CD8 antibody.
[0283] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the PSCA antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or fragments thereof such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against PSCA are shown in FIGS. 29B-29D, 36E, 60 (SEQ ID NOs: 125 and 126), 61 (SEQ ID NO: 126), 62 (SEQ ID NO: 127), 63 (SEQ ID NO: 128), 64 (SEQ ID NO: 129), 65A (SEQ ID NO: 130).

In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the CD3 antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or fragments thereof such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against CD3 are shown in FIGS. 33, 36D, 69, 65B, and 65C. In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the CD8 antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or fragments thereof such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against CD8 are shown in FIGS. 14B, 15B, 16B-16D, 20C-20G, 22B, 36B, 40 (SEQ ID NOs: 105 and 106), 41 (SEQ ID NO: 106), 42 (SEQ ID NO: 107), 43 (SEQ ID NO: 108), 44 (SEQ ID NO: 109), 45 (SEQ ID NO: 110), 46 (SEQ ID NO: 111), and 66.
Linker Options
[0284] In some embodiments, for individual antigen binding constructs, the heavy and light chain variable domains can associate in different ways. For this reason, the use of different linker lengths between the V.sub.H and V.sub.L domains allows for conformational flexibility and range-of-motion to ensure formation of the disulfide bonds.
[0285] In some embodiments, the two linker lengths can be somewhere between (and including) about 1 to 50 amino acids, for example, 2 to 15, 2 to 14, 3 to 13, 4 to 10, or 5 amino acids to 8 amino acids. In some embodiments, each linker within a pair for a minibody can be the same length. In some embodiments, each linker within the pair can be a different length. In some embodiments, any combination of linker length pairs can be used, as long as they allow and/or promote the desired combinations. In some embodiments, a modified amino acid can be used.
[0286] Table 0.2 provides minibody variants. Producing and testing the expression and binding of the variants allows for identification of a desired format for protein production for each new minibody.
[0287] In some embodiments, the linker is a GlySer linker. The GlySer linker can be a polypeptide that is rich in Gly and/or Ser residues. In some embodiments, at least about 40% of the amino acid residues of the GlySer linker are Gly, Ser, or a combination of Gly and Ser, for example at least about 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%. In some embodiments, the GlySer linker is at least about 2 amino acids long, for example at least about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 amino acids long. In some embodiments, the linker motif can be (G.sub.3)S.sub.n or (G.sub.4)S.sub.n (n can be any number of S's; and in some embodiments is 1 or 2). For example, a) GGGGS 5 aa, (SEQ ID NO: 66); b) GGGGSGGGGS 10 aa, (SEQ ID NO: 65); c) GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS 15 aa, (SEQ ID NO: 64); d) GSTSGGGSGGGS 12 aa, (SEQ ID NO: 63); or e) GSTSGGGSGGGSGGGGSS 18 aa (SEQ ID NO: 62). In some embodiments, the linker comprises at least one threonine.

Thus, a signal sequence can be fused to the N-terminus of the scFv to enable secretion of the minibody when expressed in the cell or cell line. In some embodiments, other signal sequences such as human serum albumin (SEQ ID NO: 70) can be used. In some embodiments, different signal sequences can improve secretion depending on context and cell line used for expression. In some embodiments, a human immunoglobulin kappa light chain signal sequence (SEQ ID NO: 69) can be employed and/or included in a nucleic acid encoding for an amino acid sequence provided herein. In some embodiments, a single sequence can be selected from the list shown in Table 7 depending on the context and cell line used for expression.

Nucleic Acids
[0299] In some embodiments, the polypeptides of the antigen binding constructs can be encoded by nucleic acids and expressed in vivo or in vitro, or these peptide can be synthesized chemically. Thus, in some embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding an antigen binding construct is provided. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes one part or monomer of a minibody or other antigen binding construct. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes two or more monomers, for example, at least 2 monomers. Nucleic acids encoding multiple monomers can include nucleic acid cleavage sites between at least two monomers, can encode transcription or translation start site between two or more monomers, and/or can encode proteolytic target sites between two or more monomers.
[0300] In some embodiments, an expression vector contains a nucleic acid encoding an antigen binding construct as disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the expression vector includes pcDNA3.1.TM./myc-His (-) Version A vector for mammalian expression (Invitrogen, Inc.) or a variant thereof. The pcDNA3.1 expression vector features a CMV promoter for mammalian expression and both mammalian (Neomycin) and bacterial (Ampicillin) selection markers. In some embodiments, the expression vector includes a plasmid. In some embodiments, the vector includes a viral vector, for example a retroviral or adenoviral vector. In embodiments, the vector includes a cosmid, YAC, or BAC.
[0301] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence encoding at least one of the minibody monomers comprises at least one of SEQ ID NOs: provided herein, including those disclosed herein for binding to CD3, CD8, 5T4, PSMA, and PSCA, or a sequence having at least about 80% identity, for example about 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93, 94, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or greater identity thereto.
Cell Lines
[0302] In some embodiments, a cell line is provided that expresses at least one of the antigen binding constructs described herein (which can include at least a subpart of a hinge provided herein). In some embodiments, a mammalian cell line (for example, CHO-K1 cell line) is an expression system to produce the minibodies, scFv, or other antibodies as described herein. In some embodiments, the minibodies, scFv, and other antibodies or antibody fragments described herein are non-glycosylated, and a mammalian expression system is not required, as such post-translational modifications are not needed. Thus, in some embodiments, one or more of a wide variety of mammalian or non-mammalian expression systems are used to produce the antigen binding constructs disclosed herein (for example, minibodies) including, but not limited to mammalian expression systems (for example, CHO-K1 cells), bacterial expression systems (for example, E. coli, B. subtilis) yeast expression systems (for example, Pichia, S. cerevisiae) or any other known expression system. Other systems can include insect cells and/or plant cells.
Antigen Binding Construct Modifications
[0303] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes at least one modification. Exemplary modifications include, but are not limited to, antigen binding constructs that have been modified by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, and linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein. Any of numerous chemical modifications may be carried out by known techniques, including, but not limited to, specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, and metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin. In some embodiments, the derivative can contain one or more non-natural amino acids.
[0304] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to another substance to form an anti-target conjugate. The conjugates described herein can be prepared by known methods of linking antigen binding constructs with lipids, carbohydrates, protein or other atoms and molecules. In some embodiments, the conjugate is formed by site-specific conjugation using a suitable linkage or bond. Site-specific conjugation is more likely to preserve the binding activity of an antigen binding construct. The substance may be conjugate or attached at the hinge region of a reduced antigen binding construct via thioether bond formation. In some embodiments, tyrosine conjugation can be employed. Other linkages or bonds used to form the conjugate can include, but are not limited to, a covalent bond, a non-covalent bond, a disulfide linkage, a hydrazone linkage, an ester linkage, an amido linkage, and amino linkage, an imino linkage, a thiosemicarbazone linkage, a semicarbazone linkage, an oxime linkage and a carbon-carbon linkage. In some embodiments, no cysteine or other linking aspect, need be included in the antigen binding construct.
Detectable Markers
[0305] In some embodiments, a modified antigen binding construct is conjugated to a detectable marker. As used herein, a "detectable marker" includes an atom, molecule, or compound that is useful in diagnosing, detecting or visualizing a location and/or quantity of a target molecule, cell, tissue, organ and the like. Detectable markers that can be used in accordance with the embodiments herein include, but are not limited to, radioactive substances (for example, radioisotopes, radionuclides, radiolabels or radiotracers), dyes, contrast agents, fluorescent compounds or molecules, bioluminescent compounds or molecules, enzymes and enhancing agents (for example, paramagnetic ions). In addition, some nanoparticles, for example quantum dots and metal nanoparticles (described below) can be suitable for use as a detection agent. In some embodiments, the detectable marker is IndoCyanine Green (ICG), Zirconium-89, IR800, and/or another near infrared dye.
[0306] Exemplary radioactive substances that can be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments herein include, but are not limited to, .sup.18F, .sup.18F-FAC, .sup.32P, .sup.33P, .sup.45Ti, .sup.47Sc, .sup.52Fe, .sup.59Fe, .sup.62Cu, .sup.64Cu, .sup.67Cu, .sup.67Ga, .sup.68Ga, .sup.75S, .sup.77As, .sup.86Y, .sup.90Y, .sup.89Sr, .sup.89Zr, .sup.94Tc, .sup.94Tc, .sup.99mTc, .sup.99Mo, .sup.105Pd, .sup.105Rh, .sup.111Ag, .sup.111In, .sup.123I, .sup.124I, .sup.125I, .sup.131I, .sup.142Pr, .sup.143Pr, .sup.149Pm, .sup.153Sm, .sup.154-158Gd, .sup.161Tb, .sup.166Dy, .sup.166Ho, .sup.169Er, .sup.175Lu, .sup.177Lu, .sup.186Re, .sup.188Re, .sup.189Re, .sup.194i, .sup.198Au, .sup.199Au, .sup.211At .sup.211Pb, .sup.212Bi, .sup.212Pb, .sup.213Bi, .sup.223Ra and .sup.225Ac. Exemplary paramagnetic ions substances that can be used as detectable markers include, but are not limited to ions of transition and lanthanide metals (for example metals having atomic numbers of 6 to 9, 21-29, 42, 43, 44, or 57-71). These metals include ions of Cr, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu.
[0307] When the detectable marker is a radioactive metal or paramagnetic ion, in some embodiments, the marker can be reacted with a reagent having a long tail with one or more chelating groups attached to the long tail for binding these ions. In some embodiments the reagent may carry a reactive group designed to covalently tether the antibody fragment chains. The long tail can be a polymer such as a polylysine, polysaccharide, polyethylene glycol (PEG) or other derivatized or derivatizable chain having pendant groups to which may be bound to a chelating group for binding the ions. Examples of chelating groups that may be used according to the embodiments herein include, but are not limited to, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), DOTA, NOTA, NODAGA, NETA, deferoxamine (Df, which may also be referred to as DFO), porphyrins, polyamines, crown ethers, bis-thiosemicarbazones, polyoximes, and like groups. The same chelates, when complexed with non-radioactive metals, such as manganese, iron and gadolinium are useful for MRI, when used along with the antigen binding constructs and carriers described herein. Macrocyclic chelates such as NOTA, NODAGA, DOTA, and TETA are of use with a variety of metals and radiometals including, but not limited to, radionuclides of gallium, yttrium and copper, respectively. Other ring-type chelates such as macrocyclic polyethers, which are of interest for stably binding radionuclides, such as Radium-223 for RAIT may be used. In certain embodiments, chelating moieties may be used to attach a PET imaging agent, such as an Aluminum-.sup.18F or Zirconium-89 complex, to a targeting molecule for use in PET analysis.
[0308] Exemplary contrast agents that can be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, barium, diatrizoate, ethiodized oil, gallium citrate, iocarmic acid, iocetamic acid, iodamide, iodipamide, iodoxamic acid, iogulamide, iohexyl, iopamidol, iopanoic acid, ioprocemic acid, iosefamic acid, ioseric acid, iosulamide meglumine, iosemetic acid, iotasul, iotetric acid, iothalamic acid, iotroxic acid, ioxaglic acid, ioxotrizoic acid, ipodate, meglumine, metrizamide, metrizoate, propyliodone, thallous chloride, or combinations thereof.
[0309] Bioluminescent and fluorescent compounds or molecules and dyes that can be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), OREGON GREEN.TM., rhodamine, Texas red, tetrarhodimine isothiocynate (TRITC), Cy3, Cy5, and the like, fluorescent markers (for example, green fluorescent protein (GFP), phycoerythrin, and the like), autoquenched fluorescent compounds that are activated by tumor-associated proteases, enzymes (for example, luciferase, horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and the like), nanoparticles, biotin, digoxigenin or combination thereof.
[0310] Enzymes that can be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phoshatase, glucose oxidase, .beta.-galactosidase, .beta.-glucoronidase or .beta.-lactamase. Such enzymes may be used in combination with a chromogen, a fluorogenic compound or a luminogenic compound to generate a detectable signal.
[0311] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to a nanoparticle. The term "nanoparticle" refers to a microscopic particle whose size is measured in nanometers, for example, a particle with at least one dimension less than about 100 nm. Nanoparticles can be used as detectable substances because they are small enough to scatter visible light rather than absorb it. For example, gold nanoparticles possess significant visible light extinction properties and appear deep red to black in solution. As a result, compositions comprising antigen binding constructs conjugated to nanoparticles can be used for the in vivo imaging of T-cells in a subject. At the small end of the size range, nanoparticles are often referred to as clusters. Metal, dielectric, and semiconductor nanoparticles have been formed, as well as hybrid structures (for example core-shell nanoparticles). Nanospheres, nanorods, and nanocups are just a few of the shapes that have been grown. Semiconductor quantum dots and nanocrystals are examples of additional types of nanoparticles. Such nanoscale particles, when conjugated to an antigen binding construct, can be used as imaging agents for the in vivo detection of T-cells as described herein.
[0312] In some embodiments, having a stable hinge will impart stability to the targeting agent. In some embodiments, this results in better biodistribution, higher sensitivity, and/or reduced renal clearance. Therefore, these constructs can be more applicable for higher degree of specific activity. In some embodiments, this imparts substantially improved sensitivity without high dose to the kidney, which is a radiosensitive organ. In some embodiments, these constructs are more suitable for RIT for the same reason--low renal uptake. In some embodiments, a site-specific conjugation to cysteines can now be employed because chemical reduction under mild condition will break 1 or 2 disulfide bonds to use these as a handle but keep the remaining disulfides intact. In some embodiments, this will preserve the integrity of the minibody conjugate.
Therapeutic Agents and Compositions
[0313] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can also include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle that is involved in carrying or transporting a compound of interest from one tissue, organ, or portion of the body to another tissue, organ, or portion of the body. For example, the carrier can be a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material, or some combination thereof. Each component of the carrier is "pharmaceutically acceptable" in that it is compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation. It is also suitable for contact with any tissue, organ, or portion of the body that it can encounter, meaning that, ideally it will not carry a significant risk of toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or any other complication that excessively outweighs its therapeutic benefits.
[0314] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be administered by any suitable route of administration. A route of administration can refer to any administration pathway known in the art, including but not limited to aerosol, enteral, nasal, ophthalmic, oral, parenteral, rectal, transdermal (e.g., topical cream or ointment, patch), or vaginal. "Transdermal" administration can be accomplished using a topical cream or ointment or by means of a transdermal patch. "Parenteral" refers to a route of administration that is generally associated with injection, including infraorbital, infusion, intraarterial, intracapsular, intracardiac, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, intraspinal, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrauterine, intravenous, subarachnoid, subcapsular, subcutaneous, transmucosal, or transtracheal. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be delivered intraoperatively as a local administration during an intervention or resection.
[0315] In some embodiments, an antigen binding construct is conjugated to a therapeutic agent. A "therapeutic agent" as used herein is an atom, molecule, or compound that is useful in the treatment of a disorder related to a target molecule. Examples of therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, drugs, chemotherapeutic agents, therapeutic antibodies and antibody fragments, toxins, radioisotopes, enzymes (for example, enzymes to cleave prodrugs to a cytotoxic agent at the site of the antigen binding construct binding), nucleases, hormones, immunomodulators, antisense oligonucleotides, chelators, boron compounds, photoactive agents and dyes, and nanoparticles. Examples of disorders include those related to one or more target molecules. In some embodiments, the target molecules can be one or more of: CD8, CD3, PSMA, PSCA, and 5T4.
[0316] Chemotherapeutic agents are often cytotoxic or cytostatic in nature and may include alkylating agents, antimetabolites, anti-tumor antibiotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors hormone therapy, targeted therapeutics and immunotherapeutics. In some embodiments the chemotherapeutic agents that may be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, 13-cis-Retinoic Acid, 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine, 5-Azacitidine, 5-Fluorouracil, 6-Mercaptopurine, 6-Thioguanine, actinomycin-D, adriamycin, aldesleukin, alemtuzumab, alitretinoin, all-transretinoic acid, alpha interferon, altretamine, amethopterin, amifostine, anagrelide, anastrozole, arabinosylcytosine, arsenic trioxide, amsacrine, aminocamptothecin, aminoglutethimide, asparaginase, azacytidine, bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG), bendamustine, bevacizumab, bexarotene, bicalutamide, bortezomib, bleomycin, busulfan, calcium leucovorin, citrovorum factor, capecitabine, canertinib, carboplatin, carmustine, cetuximab, chlorambucil, cisplatin, cladribine, cortisone, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, darbepoetin alfa, dasatinib, daunomycin, decitabine, denileukin diftitox, dexamethasone, dexasone, dexrazoxane, dactinomycin, daunorubicin, decarbazine, docetaxel, doxorubicin, doxifluridine, eniluracil, epirubicin, epoetin alfa, erlotinib, everolimus, exemestane, estramustine, etoposide, filgrastim, fluoxymesterone, fulvestrant, flavopiridol, floxuridine, fludarabine, fluorouracil, flutamide, gefitinib, gemcitabine, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, goserelin, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, hexamethylmelamine, hydrocortisone hydroxyurea, ibritumomab, interferon alpha, interleukin-2, interleukin-11, isotretinoin, ixabepilone, idarubicin, imatinib mesylate, ifosfamide, irinotecan, lapatinib, lenalidomide, letrozole, leucovorin, leuprolide, liposomal Ara-C, lomustine, mechlorethamine, megestrol, melphalan, mercaptopurine, mesna, methotrexate, methylprednisolone, mitomycin C, mitotane, mitoxantrone, nelarabine, nilutamide, octreotide, oprelvekin, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, pamidronate, pemetrexed, panitumumab, PEG Interferon, pegaspargase, pegfilgrastim, PEG-L-asparaginase, pentostatin, plicamycin, prednisolone, prednisone, procarbazine, raloxifene, rituximab, romiplostim, ralitrexed, sapacitabine, sargramostim, satraplatin, sorafenib, sunitinib, semustine, streptozocin, tamoxifen, tegafur, tegafur-uracil, temsirolimus, temozolamide, teniposide, thalidomide, thioguanine, thiotepa, topotecan, toremifene, tositumomab, trastuzumab, tretinoin, trimitrexate, alrubicin, vincristine, vinblastine, vindestine, vinorelbine, vorinostat, or zoledronic acid.
[0317] Toxins that may be used in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, Auristatin E, Auristatin F, Dolastatin 10, Dolastatin 15, combretastatin and their analogs, maytansinoid, calicheamicin, alpha-amanitin, pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers, epothilones, duocarmycin and their analogs, tubulysin D, basillistatins, ricin, abrin, ribonuclease (RNase), DNase I, Staphylococcal enterotoxin-A, pokeweed antiviral protein, gelonin, diphtheria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin, and Pseudomonas endotoxin.
[0318] In some embodiments nanoparticles are used in therapeutic applications as drug carriers that, when conjugated to an antigen binding construct, deliver chemotherapeutic agents, hormonal therapeutic agents, radiotherapeutic agents, toxins, or any other cytotoxic or anti-cancer agent known in the art to cancerous cells that overexpress the target on the cell surface.
[0319] Any of the antigen binding constructs described herein may be further conjugated with one or more additional therapeutic agents, detectable markers, nanoparticles, carriers or a combination thereof. For example, an antigen binding construct may be radiolabeled with Iodine-131 and conjugated to a lipid carrier, such that the anti-target molecule-lipid conjugate forms a micelle. The micelle can incorporate one or more therapeutic or detectable markers. Alternatively, in addition to the carrier, the antigen binding construct may be radiolabeled with Iodine-131 I (for example, at a tyrosine residue) and conjugated to a drug (for example, at the epsilon amino group of a lysine residue), and the carrier may incorporate an additional therapeutic or detectable marker.
[0320] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs are conjugated to a therapeutic agent. While these antigen binding constructs can have a shorter circulation half-life compared to a full-length antibody, in some embodiments, these formats can exhibit improved tumor penetration based on their smaller size and be therapeutically effective when appropriately armed with a cytotoxic drug or radioisotope. In some embodiments, an antibody drug-conjugate approach can be employed. In some embodiments, a therapeutic approach includes radioimmunotherapy by attaching an appropriate radiolabel such as, Iodine-131, a beta-emitter, such as, Yttrium-90, Lutetium-177, Copper-67, Astatine-211, Lead-212/Bismuth-212, Actinium-225/Bismuth-213, and Thorium, which can deliver cell damage and death to a target tissue. In some embodiments, treatment with these fragments armed with a cytotoxic drug or radionuclide result in less nonspecific toxicity as they will be cleared from the body more rapidly.
[0321] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be connected to a therapeutic agent to a disorder associated with the expression of the target molecule.
[0322] In some embodiments, target molecule antigen binding constructs are used as a stand-alone medicament (e.g. antigen binding construct in the absence of therapeutic agent) in the treatment of a disorder associated with the expression of the target molecule.
[0323] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising the amino acid hinge region of any of the embodiments provided herein. In some embodiments, less than 30% aggregation (or high molecular weight construct) of a minibody is present in the composition, for example, less than 20, 10, 5, or 1% aggregation.
[0324] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the amino acid hinge region of any of the constructs provided herein is provided. In some embodiments, an amount of 1 micrograms to 100 mg can be used. In some embodiments, such a composition can have a reduced level of aggregation compared to constructs without the noted hinge arrangements.
[0325] In some embodiments, the disorder is one associated with 5T4, CD8, CD3, PSCA, or PSMA. However, the various hinges disclosed herein can be applied to any target molecule or antigen binding construct that includes a hinge.

In some embodiments, the kit includes negative controls, for example a surface or solution that is substantially free of the target. In some embodiments, the kit includes packaging. In some embodiments, the kit includes instructions.
Methods of Detecting the Presence or Absence of the Target Molecule
[0327] Antigen binding constructs can be used to detect the presence or absence of the target molecule in vivo and/or in vitro. Accordingly, some embodiments include methods of detecting the presence or absence of the target. The method can include applying an antigen binding construct to a sample. The method can include detecting a binding or an absence of binding of the antigen binding construct to the target molecule. In some embodiments, any target molecule could be detected through the options provided herein. In some embodiments, the target molecule to be detected is one or more of 5T4, CD8, CD3, PSCA, or PSMA. In some embodiments, the target molecule is detected using one or more of the minibody arrangements provided in the figures and/or in the Tables, such as Table 0.2 (or at least employing a hinge arrangement as outlined in Table 0.1).
[0328] Methods of detecting the presence or absence of the target molecule are provided herein. It will be appreciated that the processes below can be performed in any sequence, and/or can be optionally repeated and/or eliminated, and that additional steps can optionally be added to the method. In some embodiments, an antigen binding construct as described herein can be applied to a sample. In some embodiments, an optional wash can be performed. Optionally, a secondary antigen binding construct can be applied to the sample. An optional wash can be performed. In some embodiments, a binding or absence of binding of the antigen binding construct to the target molecule can be detected.
[0329] In some embodiments, an antigen binding construct as described herein is applied to a sample in vivo. The antigen binding construct can be administered to a subject. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human mammal, for example a rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, dog, cat, cow, horse, goat, sheep, donkey, pig, monkey, or ape. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is infused into the subject. In some embodiments, the infusion is intravenous. In some embodiments, the infusion is intraperitoneal. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is applied topically or locally (as in the case of an interventional or intraoperative application) to the subject. In some embodiments, a capsule containing the antigen binding construct is applied to the subject, for example orally or intraperitoneally. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is selected to reduce the risk of an immunogenic response by subject. For example, for a human subject, the antigen binding construct can be humanized as described herein. In some embodiments, following in vivo application of the antigen binding construct, the sample, or a portion of the sample is removed from the host. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is applied in vivo, is incubated in vivo for a period of time as described herein, and a sample is removed for analysis in vitro, for example in vitro detection of antigen binding construct bound to the target molecule or the absence thereof as described herein.
[0330] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is applied to a sample in vitro. In some embodiments, the sample is freshly harvested from a subject, for example a biopsy. In some embodiments, the sample is incubated following harvesting from a subject. In some embodiments, the sample is fixed. In some embodiments the sample includes a whole organ and/or tissue. In some embodiments, the sample includes one or more whole cells. In some embodiments the sample is from cell extracts, for example lysates. In some embodiments, antigen binding construct in solution is added to a solution in the sample. In some embodiments, antigen binding construct in solution is added to a sample that does not contain a solution, for example a lyophilized sample, thus reconstituting the sample. In some embodiments, lyophilized antigen binding construct is added to a sample that contains solution, thus reconstituting the antigen binding construct.
[0331] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is optionally incubated with the sample. The antigen binding construct can be incubated for a period of no more than about 14 days, for example no more than about 14 days, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 day, or no more than about 23 hours, for example no more than about 23 hours, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, or 0.1 hour, including ranges between any two of the listed values. In some embodiments, the incubation is within a subject to which the antigen binding construct was administered. In some embodiments, the incubation is within an incubator. In some embodiments, the incubator is maintained at a fixed temperature, for example about 21.degree. C., room temperature, 25.degree. C., 29.degree. C., 34.degree. C., 37.degree. C., or 40.degree. C.
[0332] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct that is not bound to the target is optionally removed from the sample. In some embodiments, the sample is washed. Washing a sample can include removing the solution that contains unbound antigen binding construct, and adding solution that does not contain antigen binding construct, for example buffer solution. In some embodiments, an in vitro sample is washed, for example by aspirating, pipetting, pumping, or draining solution that contains unbound antigen binding construct, and adding solution that does not contain antigen binding construct. In some embodiments, an in vivo sample is washed, for example by administering to the subject solution that does not contain antigen binding construct, or by washing a site of topical antigen binding construct administration. In some embodiments, the wash is performed at least two times, for example at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, or 20 times. In some embodiments, following the wash or washes, at least about 50% of unbound antibody is removed from the sample, for example at least about 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99% or greater.
[0333] In some embodiments, unbound antigen binding construct is eliminated from the sample. Following application of the antigen binding construct to the sample, antigen binding construct bound to the target reaches an equilibrium with antigen binding construct unbound to the target, so that at some time after application of the antigen binding construct, the amount of antigen binding construct bound to the target does not substantially increase. After this time, at least part of the quantity of the antigen binding construct that is unbound to the target can be eliminated. In some embodiments, unbound antigen binding construct is eliminated by metabolic or other bodily processes of the subject to whom the antibody or fragment was delivered. In some embodiments, unbound antigen binding construct is eliminated by the addition of an agent that destroys or destabilized the unbound antigen binding construct, for example a protease or a neutralizing antibody. In some embodiments, 1 day after application of the antigen binding construct, at least about 30% of the antigen binding construct that was applied has been eliminated, for example at least about 30%, 40%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9%. In some embodiments, 2 days after application of the antigen binding construct, at least about 40% of the antigen binding construct that was applied has been eliminated, for example at least about 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9%.
[0334] In some embodiments, the presence or absence of the target molecule is detected. The presence or absence of the target can be detected based on the presence or absence of the antigen binding construct in the sample. After removal and/or elimination of the antigen binding construct from the sample, for example by washing and/or metabolic elimination, remaining antigen binding construct in the sample can indicate the presence of the target, while an absence of the antigen binding construct in the sample can indicate the absence of the target.
[0335] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes a detectable marker as described herein. Thus, the presence of the antigen binding construct can be inferred by detecting the detectable marker.
[0336] In some embodiments, a secondary antigen binding construct is used to detect the antigen binding construct. The secondary antigen binding construct can bind specifically to the antigen binding construct. For example, the secondary antigen binding construct can include a polyclonal or monoclonal antibody, diabody, minibody, etc. against the host type of the antibody, or against the antigen binding construct itself. The secondary antigen binding construct can be conjugated to a detectable marker as described herein. The secondary antigen binding construct can be applied to the sample. In some embodiments, the secondary antigen binding construct is applied to the sample in substantially the same manner as the antigen binding construct. For example, if the antigen binding construct was infused into a subject, the secondary antigen binding construct can also be infused into the subject.
[0337] In some embodiments, binding or the absence of binding of the antigen binding construct is detected via at least one of: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (NMR), or detection of fluorescence emissions. PET can include, but is not limited to small animal PET imaging. In some embodiments, binding of the absence of binding of the antigen binding construct is detected via two or more forms of imaging. In some embodiments, detection can be via near-infrared (NIR) and/or Cerenkov.
[0338] In some embodiments, any combination of imaging modalities is possible, including, by way of example, PET+NIR, PET+SPECT etc.
Methods of Targeting a Therapeutic Agent to a Cell
[0339] Antigen binding constructs can be used to target a therapeutic molecule, for example a cytotoxin, to a target positive cell, such as a cell expressing the target molecule. Thus, some embodiments include methods of targeting a therapeutic agent to a target positive cell. The method can include administering an antigen binding construct as described herein to a subject. The subject can be a subject in need, for example a subject in need of elimination or neutralization of at least some target positive cells. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes at least on therapeutic agent as described herein. In some embodiments, the therapeutic can be directly conjugated to the antigen binding construct via a covalent bond, such as a disulfide bond. In some embodiments, the subject can benefit from the localization of a target molecule positive cell to another cell or agent.
[0340] Optionally, before and/or after administration of the antigen binding construct that includes at least one therapeutic agent, the number and/or localization of the target positive cells of the patient is determined. For example, determining the number and/or localization of target positive cells prior to administration can indicate whether the patient is likely to benefit from neutralization and/or elimination of the target positive cells. Determining the number and/or localization of the target positive cells after administration can indicate whether the target positive cells were eliminated in the patient.
[0341] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be used as a therapeutic agent as stand-alone construct (for example, without a toxin conjugated thereto). While the fragments have a shorter half-life compared to the intact antibody which would be less optimal for therapy, these formats can exhibit improved tumor penetration based on their smaller size and be therapeutically effective when appropriately armed with a cytotoxic drug or radioisotope.
[0342] In some embodiments, another therapeutic approach is radioimmunotherapy via attaching an appropriate radiolabel such as the Iodine-131, a beta-emitter, such as, Yttrium-90, Lutetium-177, Copper-67, Astatine-211, Lead-212/Bismuth-212, Actinium-225/Bismuth-213, and Thorium, which can deliver cell damage and death.
[0343] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is used to target cells expressing the target molecule. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is appropriate for one or more of a disorder associated with at least one of the following: CD8, CD3, PSMA, PSCA, or 5T4, for example. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is appropriate for treating one or more of the following disorders:

PSCA-IAB1M
[0350] Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed in normal human prostate and bladder and is over-expressed in prostate cancers (40% of primary tumors and 60-100% of lymph node and bone marrow metastases). It is also highly expressed in transitional carcinomas of the bladder and pancreatic carcinoma. An example of PSCA protein is shown with SEQ ID NO: 132. IG8, an anti-PSCA mouse monoclonal antibody specific for PSCA demonstrated anti-tumor targeting activity in vivo (Gu, Z. et al., "Anti-prostate stem cell antigen monoclonal antibody 1G8 induces cell death in vitro and inhibits tumor growth in vivo via a Fc-independent mechanism," Cancer Res., Vol. 65, No. 20, pp. 9495-9500, 2005). This antibody was humanized by grafting on a human framework (Trastuzumab) and named 2B3 (Olafsen, T. et al., "Targeting, imaging, and therapy using a humanized antiprostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) antibody," Immunotherapy, Vol. 30, No. 4, pp. 396-405, 2007).
[0351] In some embodiments, embodiments involving antigen binding constructs to PSCA can provide agents that have appropriate pharmacodynamics properties to target and image tumors that express PSCA. There is a value in the field for effective agents to image cancers with sensitivity and specificity, particularly early stage tumors or ones with early metastasis not imagable by traditional means. As PSCA is highly expressed by most prostate, bladder and pancreatic tumors, it is a valuable target in the detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these cancers. Some embodiments provided herein provide constructs with characteristics for tumor imaging and targeting. They can also be used for tumor targeting of gene therapy, radioactivity therapy, and can have therapeutic utility by themselves.
[0352] Provided herein are engineered antigen binding constructs that recognize a novel cell surface marker in prostate and other cancers with high affinity. These genetically engineered antigen binding constructs can be tailored specifically for in vivo use for targeting and detection. PSCA is highly expressed by most prostate, bladder and pancreatic tumors and is a promising target. Embodiments provided herein describe an innovative molecule with optimal characteristics for tumor imaging. It can also be useful for tumor targeting of gene therapy, radioactivity or can have therapeutic utility by itself.
[0353] In some embodiments, the PSCA targeted by the anti-PSCA antibody is human PSCA. In some embodiments, the immunoconjugate can be used for targeting the effector moiety to a PSCA-positive cell, particularly cells, which overexpress the PCSA protein. In some embodiments, the PSCA targeted by the anti-PSCA minibody is human PSCA.
[0354] In some embodiments, the constructs provided herein can provide agents that have appropriate pharmacodynamics properties to target and image tumors that express PSCA. In some embodiments, the minibody provides an effective agent to image cancers with sensitivity and specificity, particularly early stage tumors or ones with early metastasis not imagable by traditional means.
[0355] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the PSCA antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or other fragments of antibodies such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against PSCA are shown in FIGS. 29B-29D, 36E, 60 (SEQ ID NOs: 125 and 126), 61 (SEQ ID NO: 126), 62 (SEQ ID NO: 127), 63 (SEQ ID NO: 128), 64 (SEQ ID NO: 129), and 65A (SEQ ID NO: 130).
[0356] In some embodiments, the construct allows for imaging of cancer, in early diagnosis or diagnosis of metastatic disease. In particular, there is value in better agents for imaging prostate cancer for detection and staging. PSCA antigen binding construct imaging will be very useful for imaging bone metastases and assessing response to treatment. In some embodiments, a method of the detection of pancreatic cancer is provided. In some embodiments, a high-affinity, highly specific engineered minibody is tailored for in vivo targeting and detection of PSCA in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and pancreatic cancer patients. In some embodiments, a "PSCA dependent disorder" can include a prostate tumor, a prostate cancer, a bladder tumor, a transitional carcinoma of the urinary bladder, a pancreatic tumor, a pancreatic carcinoma, any tumor associated with PSCA expression, any cancer associated with PSCA expression, or any disorder associated with PSCA expression.
[0357] In some embodiments, a high affinity PSCA antigen binding construct which can be used in the treatment and detection of cancers which overexpress PSCA is provided.
[0358] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can also be linked to therapeutic agents or detectable markers. In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is a cytotoxic agent. For instance, the agent can be ricin, ricin A-chain, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, taxol, ethidium bromide, mitomycin, etoposide, tenoposide, vincristine, vinblastine, colchicine, dihydroxy anthracin dione, actinomycin D, diphteria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) A, PE40, abrin, arbrin A chain, modeccin A chain, alpha-sarcin, gelonin mitogellin, retstrictocin, phenomycin, enomycin, curicin, crotin, calicheamicin, Sapaonaria officinalis inhibitor, maytansinoids, or glucocorticoidricin. In other embodiments, the therapeutic agent is a radioactive isotope. The radioactive isotope can be selected, for instance, from the group consisting of .sup.212Bi, .sup.131I, .sup.111In, .sup.90Y and .sup.186Re. In other embodiments the construct is linked to an anti-cancer pro-drug activating enzyme capable of converting a pro-drug to its active form.
[0359] In some embodiments, the anti-PSCA construct is labeled with a detectable marker. The marker can be for instance, a radioisotope, a fluorescent compound, a bioluminescent compound, chemiluminescent compound, a metal chelator or an enzyme. Many radionuclides can be used as imaging labels, including without limitation, .sup.124I, .sup.86Y, .sup.18F, .sup.94mTc, and the like. One of skill in the art will know of other radionuclides particularly well suited for use in the present embodiment. In some embodiments, the method can kill the cancer cell. In some embodiments, the construct recognizes and binds the PSCA protein as shown below beginning with leucine at amino acid position 22 and ending with alanine at amino acid position 99. In additional embodiments, the method further comprises administering to a chemotherapeutic drug, radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the subject is also treated with hormone ablation therapy or hormone antagonist therapy.
[0360] In some embodiments, the treatments can be given to the patient or subject by intravenously, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, intratumorally, or intradermally. In some embodiments, contacting comprises administering the construct directly into a prostate cancer, a bladder cancer, a pancreatic cancer or a metastasis thereof.
[0361] In some embodiments, methods of detecting a cancerous cell in a subject by contacting the cancer cell with a construct which bears a detectable marker is provided. The methods can be used in screening patients at increased risk of cancer or to monitory response to therapy or to develop a prognosis for the cancer (e.g., prostate, bladder, or pancreatic cancers. The methods are particularly advantageous in detecting metastases of the cancer. Provided herein are minibody fragments with tumor targeting/imaging aptitude. In some embodiments, with regard to the constructs provided herein, there is a proviso that the construct comprises a VH or VL domain that is not identical to a corresponding domain or the 2B3 antibody.
[0362] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to an "effector" moiety. The effector moiety can be any number of molecules, including labeling moieties such as radioactive labels or fluorescent labels, or can be a therapeutic moiety. In one aspect the antibody modulates the activity of the protein. Such effector moieties include, but are not limited to, an anti-tumor drug, a toxin, a radioactive agent, a cytokine, a second antibody or an enzyme. Further, herein provided are embodiments wherein the antigen binding construct is linked to an enzyme that converts a prodrug into a cytotoxic agent. Examples of cytotoxic agents include, but are not limited to ricin, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, taxol, ethiduim bromide, mitomycin, etoposide, tenoposide, vincristine, vinblastine, colchicine, dihydroxy anthracin dione, actinomycin D, diphtheria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) A, PE40, abrin, and glucocorticoid and other chemotherapeutic agents, as well as radioisotopes. Suitable detectable markers include, but are not limited to, a radioisotope, a fluorescent compound, a bioluminescent compound, chemiluminescent compound, a metal chelator or an enzyme.
[0363] In some embodiments, the antigen binding protein constructs can be used to systemically to treat cancer alone or when conjugated with an effector moiety. PSCA-targeting constructs conjugated with toxic agents, such as ricin, as well as unconjugated antibodies can be useful therapeutic agents naturally targeted to PSCA bearing cancer cells. Such constructs can be useful in blocking invasiveness.
[0364] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding protein constructs can be used to treat cancer. In such a situation, the construct is joined to at least a functionally active portion of a second protein or toxic molecule having therapeutic activity. The second protein can include, but is not limited to, an enzyme, lymphokine, oncostatin or toxin. Suitable toxins include doxorubicin, daunorubicin, taxol, ethiduim bromide, mitomycin, etoposide, tenoposide, vincristine, vinblastine, colchicine, dihydroxy anthracin dione, actinomycin D, diphteria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) A, PE40, ricin, abrin, glucocorticoid and radioisotopes.
[0365] In some embodiments, treatment will generally involve the repeated administration of the constructs and their immunoconjugates via an acceptable route of administration such as intravenous injection (N), at an effective dose. Dosages will depend upon various factors generally appreciated by those of skill in the art, including without limitation the type of cancer and the severity, grade, or stage of the cancer, the binding affinity and half-life of the agents used, the desired steady-state antibody concentration level, frequency of treatment, and the influence of chemotherapeutic agents used in combination with the treatment method of the embodiments provided herein. Typical daily doses can range from about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg. Doses in the range of 10-500 mg of the constructs or their immunoconjugates per week can be effective and well tolerated, although even higher weekly doses can be appropriate and/or well tolerated. The principal determining factor in defining the appropriate dose is the amount of a particular agent necessary to be therapeutically effective in a particular context. Repeated administrations can be required in order to achieve tumor inhibition or regression. Initial loading doses can be higher. The initial loading dose can be administered as an infusion. Periodic maintenance doses can be administered similarly, provided the initial dose is well tolerated.
[0366] In some embodiments, direct administration of the constructs is also possible and can have advantages in certain contexts. For example, for the treatment of bladder carcinoma, the agents can be injected directly into the bladder.
[0367] In some embodiments, the compositions can be administered for therapeutic or prophylactic treatments. In therapeutic applications, compositions are administered to a patient suffering from a disease (e.g., cancer) in a "therapeutically effective dose." Amounts effective for this use will depend upon the severity of the disease and the general state of the patient's health. Single or multiple administrations of the compositions can be administered depending on the dosage and frequency as required and tolerated by the patient. Other known cancer therapies can be used in combination with the methods provided herein. For example, the compositions provided herein can also be used to target or sensitize a cell to other cancer therapeutic agents such as 5FU, vinblastine, actinomycin D, cisplatin, methotrexate, and the like.
[0368] In other embodiments, the methods can be practiced together with other cancer therapies (e.g, radical prostatectomy), radiation therapy (external beam or brachytherapy), hormone therapy (e.g., orchiectomy, LHRH-analog therapy to suppress testosterone production, anti-androgen therapy), or chemotherapy.
[0369] In some embodiments, methods of imaging cancer cells or tumors in vivo through administration of antibodies, such as the minibodies provided herein, are provided. In one embodiment, a method of imaging a cancer cell in vivo is provided, the method comprising administering a labeled anti-PSCA antibody to a mammal and imaging the antibody in vivo. The methods can be used to image a cancer cell in mammal, including without limitation, a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, pig, human, and the like.
[0370] In some embodiments, provided herein are methods for treating a subject having cancer, or inhibiting the growth of a prostate cancer cell expressing a Prostate Stem Cell Antigen (PSCA) protein comprising contacting the cancer cell (e.g., prostate, bladder, pancreatic cancer cell, with a construct as provided herein, in an amount effective to inhibit the growth of the cancer cell. In some embodiments, the methods find particular application in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancers which overexpress PSCA, for example, prostate, pancreatic and bladder cancers. In certain embodiments the methods are applied to hormone refractory or therapy resistant cancers. In certain embodiments the methods are applied to metastatic cancers.
[0371] In some embodiments, a minibody that binds to PSCA is provided. The minibody comprises a polypeptide that comprises a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) that binds to PSCA, the scFv comprising a variable heavy (V.sub.H) domain linked a variable light (V.sub.L) domain; and a variant hinge region comprising at least three cysteines on each strand of the hinge.

PSMA-IAB2M
[0381] Full-length antibodies that target PSMA have been developed, some of which are in various stages of preclinical and clinical development. PSMA was originally defined by a murine antibody (mAb), 7E11, which recognized an intracellular epitope of PSMA (Olson, W. C. et al., "Clinical trials of cancer therapies targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen," Rev. Recent Clin. Trials, Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 182-190, 2007). The 7E11 mAb was later developed into a FDA-approved SPECT imaging agent called Prostascint for the detection and imaging of prostate cancer in soft tissue. However, since 7E11 recognizes an intracellular epitope, Prostascint is a relatively poor imaging agent which is limited to detecting necrotic tumor tissue (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007). Having the pharmacokinetic properties of a full-length antibody, Prostascint also requires a long period of time between injection and imaging. Furthermore, Prostascint is a murine antibody which elicits strong immune responses that prevent multiple dosing (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007).
[0382] Another full-length antibody that targets PSMA, J591, was discovered and subsequently deimmunized, the deimmunized version known as huJ591 (Liu, H. et al., "Monoclonal antibodies to the extracellular domain of prostate-specific membrane antigen also react with tumor vascular endothelium", Cancer Research, Vol. 57, No. 17, pp. 3629-3634, 1997; Bander, N. H. et al., "Targeting Metastatic Prostate Cancer with Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody J591 to the Extracellular Domain of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen," J. Urol., Vol. 170, No. 5, pp. 1717-1721, 2003). The deimmunized huJ591 is an anti-human PSMA antibody that recognizes and binds an extracellular epitope on PSMA (Bander, N. H. et al., 2003). The huJ591 antibody is being developed as a potential radioimmunotherapy agent against prostate cancer. In Phase I trials, DOTA-conjugated huJ591 antibody labeled with gamma emitting isotopes Indium-111 and Lutetium-177 demonstrated excellent targeting to metastatic sites, no immunogenicity, and multiple doses were well tolerated (Bander, N. H. et al., 2003, Milowsky, M. I. et al., "Phase I Trial of yttrium-90-labeled anti-prostate-specific membrane antigen monoclonal antibody J591 for androgen-independent prostate cancer," J. Clin. Oncol., Vol. 22, No. 13, pp. 2522-2531, 2004; Bander, N. H. et al., "Phase I trial of 177 Lutetium-labeled J591, a monoclonal antibody to prostate-specific membrane antigen, in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer," J. Clin. Oncol., Vol. 23, No. 21, pp. 4591-4601, 2005; Olson, W. C. et al., 2007). Beyond prostate cancer, Phase I studies with .sup.111In-DOTA huJ591 demonstrated specific targeting of tumor neovasculature of advanced solid tumors (Milowsky, M. I. et al., "Vascular targeted therapy with anti-prostate-specific membrane antigen monoclonal antibody J591 in advanced solid tumors," J. Clin. Oncol., Vol. 25, No. 5, pp. 540-547, 2007).
[0383] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the PSMA antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or other fragments of antibodies such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against PSMA are shown in FIGS. 5B-5E, 7C-7E, 21B-21E, 34A-34F, 35A-35C, 36A, 47 (SEQ ID NOs: 112 and 113), 48 (SEQ ID NO: 113), 49 (SEQ ID NO: 114), 50 (SEQ ID NO: 115), 51 (SEQ ID NO: 116), 52 (SEQ ID NO: 117), 53 (SEQ ID NO: 118).
[0384] Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a cell-surface biomarker that is associated with prostate cancer (Slovin, S. F., "Targeting novel antigens for prostate cancer treatment: focus on prostate-specific membrane antigen," Expert Opin. Ther. Targets, Vol. 9, No. 3, pp. 561-570, 2005), is a single-pass Type II transmembrane protein possessing glutamate carboxypeptidase activity, although the functional role of PSMA is not well understood (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007). Expression of PSMA is relatively limited in normal tissues outside of the prostate including the brain, small intestines, liver, proximal kidney tubules, and salivary gland (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007). An example of PSMA protein is shown with SEQ ID NO: 131.
[0385] In some embodiments, provided herein are antigen binding constructs, such as minibodies, that targets prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). The PSMA antigen binding construct thereof can be conjugated to a substance such as a diagnostic agent, a therapeutic agent or a nanoparticle to form an anti-PSMA conjugate.

[0387] The PSMA antigen binding construct or anti-PSMA conjugate can be used to target a PSMA positive cell, such as cancer cells that overexpress PSMA.
[0388] In some embodiments, a method for diagnosing a cancer associated with PSMA expression in a subject is provided. Such a method includes administering an anti-PSMA minibody conjugated to a diagnostic agent to a subject having or suspected of having a cancer associated with PSMA expression; exposing the subject to an imaging method to visualize the labeled minibody in vivo; and determining that the subject has a cancer associated with PSMA expression when the labeled minibody localizes to a tumor site.
[0389] In some embodiments, a method for treating a cancer associated with PSMA expression in a subject is provided. Some embodiments include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to the subject, the composition comprising an anti-PSMA minibody.

[0393] The PSMA antigen binding construct or anti-PSMA conjugate can be used to target a PSMA positive cell, such as cancer cells that overexpress PSMA. Therefore, methods for diagnosing, detecting, visualizing, monitoring or treating a cancer or other condition associated with PSMA expression can include administering the PSMA antigen binding construct or anti-PSMA conjugate to a subject having or suspected of having a cancer or other condition associated with PSMA expression.
[0394] In some embodiments, methods for treating cancer or other condition associated with overexpression of PSMA are provided. Such methods include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition that includes a PSMA antigen binding construct as described herein. In one embodiment, the PSMA antigen binding construct is a minibody, derived from a J591 antibody such as those J591 minibodies described herein.
[0395] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can include a therapeutic anti-PSMA conjugate, wherein the conjugate includes a PSMA antigen binding construct conjugated to one or more therapeutic agent as described herein. In some embodiments, the PSMA antigen binding construct, derived from a J591 antibody such as those J591 minibodies described herein. For example, the J591 minibodies described herein can be used in a radioimmunotherapy approach, wherein one or more of the J591 minibodies is radiolabeled with an appropriate beta-emitting radiolabel such as Yttrium-90. The radiolabeled J591 minibody or minibodies can be used to deliver cell damage and death to local cancerous tissue that expresses PSMA. Further, the use of radiolabeled J591 minibodies would likely exhibit improved tumor penetration as compared to radiolabeled full-length parental huJ591 antibody.
[0396] The therapeutic anti-PSMA conjugate can be conjugated to or associated with one or more additional substances described herein, such as diagnostic anti-PSMA conjugates (described herein), unconjugated diagnostic agents, contrast solutions, carrier lipids or nanoparticles.
[0397] PSMA expression in prostate cancer increases with tumor aggressiveness and is the highest in high-grade tumors, metastatic lesions, and androgen-independent disease (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007). Therefore, PSMA is a cancer biomarker that is a good candidate for targeting by an imaging agent. PSMA expression is also upregulated in the neovasculature of many non-prostatic solid tumors including lung, colon, breast, renal, liver and pancreatic carcinomas as well as sarcomas and melanoma (Olson, W. C. et al., 2007).
[0398] The cancer associated with PSMA expression in a subject can be lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer or melanoma. Thus, in some embodiments "PSMA dependent disorder" can include: lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer or melanoma.
[0399] Furthermore, "PSMA dependent disorder" can also include those cancers that are associated with PSMA expression including those having a cancer tumor tissue that overexpresses PSMA (e.g., prostate cancer) or those having solid tumor neovasculature that overexpresses PSMA (e.g., prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon (or colorectal) cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer and pancreatic cancer as well as sarcomas and melanoma). Most solid tumor neovasculature expresses PSMA, making PSMA a neovasculature biomarker. Thus, in addition to cancer cells that express PSMA, a cancer that is associated with PSMA expression can include any cancer tissue with neovasculature including, but not limited to, carcinomas such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon (or colorectal) cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer and pancreatic cancer as well as sarcomas and melanoma.

CD8-IAB22M
[0410] CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a specific marker for a subclass of T-cells including cytotoxic T-cells. Expression of CD8 is also present on some natural killer and dendritic cells as well as on a subset of T cell lymphomas. CD8 assembles as either a heterodimer of the CD8 alpha and CD8 beta subunits or a CD8 alpha homodimer. The assembled dimeric CD8 complex acts as a co-receptor together with the T-cell receptor (TCR) to recognize antigen presentation by MHC class I cells. CD8 plays a role in the development of T-cells and activation of mature T-cells. Changes in T-cell localization can reflect the progression of an immune response and can occur over time. Examples of CD8 subunits are shown with SEQ ID NOs: 134 and 135.
[0411] Described herein are antigen binding constructs, including antibodies and fragments thereof, such as minibodies that bind to a target molecule, CD8. In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the CD8 antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or other fragments of antibodies such as scFv. Some embodiments of antigen binding constructs against CD8 are shown in FIGS. 14E, 15D, 16B-16D, 20C-20G, 22B, 36B, 40 (SEQ ID NOs: 105 and 106), 41 (SEQ ID NO: 106), 42 (SEQ ID NO: 107), 43 (SEQ ID NO: 108), 44 (SEQ ID NO: 109), 45 (SEQ ID NO: 110), 46 (SEQ ID NO: 111), 66.
[0412] Some embodiments provided herein relate to a method of targeting a therapeutic agent to a CD8. The method can include administering to a subject an antigen binding construct as described herein, for example a CD8 antigen binding construct. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to a therapeutic agent.
[0413] Antigen binding constructs can be useful for detecting the presence, localization, and/or quantities of the target molecule (CD8 and/or CD8+ cells, for example, certain classes of T-cells). Such antigen binding constructs can also be useful for targeting therapeutic agents to cells that express the target molecule. In some embodiments, methods are provided for detecting the presence or absence of the target molecule (or "target") using antigen binding constructs (including antibodies, and constructs such as minibodies). In some embodiments, methods are provided for using the antigen binding constructs for therapeutic purposes.
[0414] In some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs allow for the detection of human CD8 which is a specific biomarker found on the surface of a subset of T-cells for diagnostic imaging of the immune system. Imaging of CD8 allows for the in vivo detection of T-cell localization. Changes in T-cell localization can reflect the progression of an immune response and can occur over time as a result various therapeutic treatments or even disease states.
[0415] In addition, CD8 plays a role in activating downstream signaling pathways that are important for the activation of cytolytic T cells that function to clear viral pathogens and provide immunity to tumors. CD8 positive T cells can recognize short peptides presented within the MHCI protein of antigen presenting cells. In some embodiments, engineered fragments directed to CD8 can potentiate signaling through the T cell receptor and enhance the ability of a subject to clear viral pathogens and respond to tumor antigens. Thus, in some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs provided herein can be agonists and can activate the CD8 target.
[0416] In some embodiments, the presence or absence of the target, CD8, is detected. The presence or absence of the target can be detected based on the presence or absence of the antigen binding construct in the sample. After removal and/or elimination of the antigen binding construct from the sample, for example by washing and/or metabolic elimination, remaining antigen binding construct in the sample can indicate the presence of the target, while an absence of the antigen binding construct in the sample can indicate the absence of the target.
[0417] Some embodiments include detection of human CD8 which is a specific biomarker found on the surface of a subset of T-cells for diagnostic imaging of the immune system. Imaging of the target molecule can allow for the in vivo detection of T-cell localization. Changes in T-cell localization can reflect the progression of an immune response and can occur over time as a result various therapeutic treatments or even disease states. For example, imaging T-cell localization can be useful in immunotherapy. Adoptive immunotherapy is a form of therapy where a patient's own T-cells are manipulated in vitro and re-introduced into the patient. For this form of treatment, imaging of T-cells can be useful for monitoring and/or determining the status of the treatment. Thus, in some embodiments, monitoring the localization of the target molecule can be a useful for analyzing a mechanism of action, efficacy, and/or safety in the development of drugs and/or can aid in the clinical management of disease.
[0418] Some embodiments provided herein relate to a method of targeting a therapeutic agent to a CD8. The method can include administering to a subject an antigen binding construct as described herein, for example a CD8 antigen binding construct. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to a therapeutic agent.
[0419] Toxins that can be used as detectable markers in accordance with the embodiments of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, ricin, abrin, ribonuclease (RNase), DNase I, Staphylococcal enterotoxin-A, pokeweed antiviral protein, gelonin, diphtheria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin, and Pseudomonas endotoxin.
[0420] In some embodiments nanoparticles are used in therapeutic applications as drug carriers that, when conjugated to an antigen binding construct, deliver chemotherapeutic agents, hormonal therapeutic agents, radiotherapeutic agents, toxins, or any other cytotoxic or anti-cancer agent known in the art to cancerous cells that overexpress the target on the cell surface.
[0421] Antigen binding constructs can be used to target a therapeutic molecule, for example a cytotoxin to a target positive cell, such as a cell expressing CD8. Thus, some embodiments include methods of targeting a therapeutic agent to a target positive cell. The method can include administering an antigen binding construct as described herein to a subject. The subject can be a subject in need, for example a subject in need of elimination or neutralization of at least some target positive cells. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct includes at least one therapeutic agent as described herein. In some embodiments, the therapeutic can be directly conjugated to the antigen binding construct via a covalent bond, such as a disulfide bond. In some embodiments, the subject can benefit from the localization of a CD8 positive cell to another cell or agent.
[0422] Optionally, before and/or after administration of the antigen binding construct that includes at least one therapeutic agent, the number and/or localization of the target positive cells of the patient is determined. For example, determining the number and/or localization of target positive cells prior to administration can indicate whether the patient is likely to benefit from neutralization and/or elimination of the target positive cells. Determining the number and/or localization of the target positive cells after administration can indicate whether the target positive cells were eliminated in the patient.

5T4-IAB20M
[0434] 5T4 is an oncofetal glycoprotein which has weak expression in select adult tissues, but strong expression in various types of carcinomas including colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and prostate cancer. 5T4 expression is found in both primary and metastatic cancers and expression level correlates with progression of the disease making 5T4 a very promising biomarker. An example of 5T4 protein is shown with SEQ ID NO: 133.
[0435] A 5T4-specific imaging agent can provide a significant advantage in specificity over other imaging agents such as FDG which are based on detecting changes in metabolism. Furthermore, imaging agents which specifically target 5T4 can be a valuable tool during the development of therapies targeting 5T4. For example, the imaging agent can be used to monitor patients following treatment of therapy targeting 5T4. In the case of prostate cancer, a FDA approved SPECT imaging agent is on the market called Prostascint but has considerable limitations since the intact antibody is murine (immunogenicity issue with repeat administration) and the epitope is an internal epitope of the biomarker PSMA (limits accuracy). The present 5T4 antigen binding constructs can have significant advantages over Prostascint in that they can bind an extracellular epitope of 5T4, have optimized pharmacokinetics for imaging, and are humanized.
[0436] The 5T4 protein is also known as trophoblast glycoprotein or TPBG. Examples of 5T4 proteins are known in the art, and include, for example the 5T4 protein of SEQ ID NO: 133.
[0437] Therapeutic antibodies and antibody fusion proteins have been in development against the human 5T4 target including the murine antibody "H8". Also, a cancer vaccine named Trovax is currently in clinical development against the 5T4 antigen by Oxford Biomedica.
[0438] A 5T4-specific imaging agent can provide a significant advantage in specificity over other imaging agents such as FDG which are based on detecting changes in metabolism. Furthermore, imaging agents which specifically target 5T4 can be a valuable tool during the development of therapies targeting 5T4. For example, the imaging agent can be used to monitor patients following treatment of therapy targeting 5T4. In the case of prostate cancer, a FDA approved SPECT imaging agent is on the market called Prostascint but has considerable limitations since the intact antibody is murine (immunogenicity issue with repeat administration) and the epitope is an internal epitope of the biomarker PSMA (limits accuracy). The present antigen binding constructs can have significant advantages over Prostascint in that they can bind an extracellular epitope of 5T4, have optimized pharmacokinetics for imaging, and are humanized.
[0439] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the 5T4 antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or other fragments of antibodies such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against 5T4 are shown in FIGS. 28B-28E, 32, 36C, 54 (SEQ ID NOs: 119 and 120), 55 (SEQ ID NO: 120), 56 (SEQ ID NO: 121), 57 (SEQ ID NO: 122), 58 (SEQ ID NO: 123), 59 (SEQ ID NO: 124), 67, 68.
[0440] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be connected to a therapeutic to treat a form of cancer, including, but not limited to: colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and/or prostate cancer.
[0441] In some embodiments, the 5T4 antigen binding construct can be used as a therapeutic agent as a stand-alone construct (for example, without a toxin conjugated thereto). While the fragments have a shorter half-life compared to the intact antibody which would be less optimal for therapy, these formats can exhibit improved tumor penetration based on their smaller size and be therapeutically effective when appropriately armed with a cytotoxic drug or radioisotope.
[0442] 5T4 is a rapidly internalizing antigen which can make it suitable for antibody drug-conjugate approaches. In some embodiments, another therapeutic approach is radio immunotherapy via attaching an appropriate radiolabel such as the beta-emitter Yttrium-90 which can deliver cell damage and death to local cancerous tissue.
[0443] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is used to target cells expressing 5T4 antigen, including, for example, colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and/or prostate cancer cells.
[0444] The ability to image a patient's entire body for the presence of an antibody's target prior to and during treatment provides valuable information for personalized patient management. During the testing of an antibody therapy's safety and efficacy, it is useful to be able to select and test the treatment on patients who express the antibody's target as part of their disease progression.
[0445] 5T4 is overexpressed in many different carcinomas including colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and prostate. Imaging agents such as FDG-PET have proven quite effective for detection of many of these cancer types but current imaging practices are not sufficiently accurate for ovarian and prostate cancer. In some embodiments, any of these disorders can be diagnosed and/or treated with various 5T4 constructs provided herein.
[0446] In some embodiments, the antigen binding constructs can be clinical imaging agents (PET/SPECT) in humans. Since 5T4 is overexpressed in multiple cancer types (including colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and prostate, these 5T4 antigen binding constructs can be used for targeted diagnostic detection for these cancers. In some embodiments, this can be used for detection of ovarian and/or prostate cancer.
[0447] The term "5T4 dependent disorder" includes any disorder in which 5T4 plays a role in the disorder itself. In some embodiments, this denotes over-expression of 5T4. Examples of the disorders include, multiple cancer types, such as colorectal, renal, breast, ovarian, gastric, lung, and prostate cancer, for example.
[0448] In some embodiments, a minibody that binds to 5T4 is provided. The minibody comprises a polypeptide that comprises a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) that binds to 5T4, the scFv comprising a variable heavy (V.sub.H) domain linked a variable light (V.sub.L) domain; and a variant hinge region comprising at least three cysteines on each strand of the hinge. In some embodiments, the minibody further comprises a human IgG C.sub.H3 sequence. In some embodiments, the minibody further comprises a detectable marker selected from the group consisting of a radioactive substance, a dye, a contrast agent, a fluorescent compound, a bioluminescent compound, an enzyme, an enhancing agent, and a nanoparticle.
[0449] In some embodiments, the minibody provided herein comprises: a HCDR1 of the HCDR1 in SEQ ID NO: 87; a HCDR2 of the HCDR2 in SEQ ID NO: 88; a HCDR3 of the HCDR3 in SEQ ID NO: 89; a LCDR1 of the LCDR1 in SEQ ID NO: 90; a LCDR2 of the LCDR2 in SEQ ID NO: 91; and a LCDR3 of the LCDR3 in SEQ ID NO: 92. In some embodiments of the minibody provided herein the variable heavy (V.sub.H) domain and the variable light (V.sub.L) domain are human sequences.
[0450] In some embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding an antibody of any of the embodiments described herein is provided. In some embodiments, a cell line producing any of the minibody embodiments described herein is provided. In some embodiments, a kit comprising any of the embodiments of the minibody described herein and a detectable marker are provided.

In some embodiments of the method, the minibody comprises a detectable marker selected from the group consisting of a radioactive substance, a dye, a contrast agent, a fluorescent compound, a bioluminescent compound, an enzyme, an enhancing agent, and a nanoparticle. In some embodiments of the method, applying the minibody comprises administering the minibody to a subject. In some embodiments of the method, detecting binding or absence of binding of the minibody to a target antigen comprises positron emission tomography. In some embodiments, the method further comprises applying a secondary antibody or fragment thereof to the sample, wherein the secondary antibody or fragment thereof binds specifically to the minibody. In some embodiments of the method, the minibody thereof is incubated with the sample for no more than 1 hour.
[0452] In some embodiments, a method of targeting a therapeutic agent to 5T4 is provided. The method comprises administering to a subject any of the embodiments of the minibody provided herein, wherein the minibody is conjugated to a therapeutic agent.
[0453] In some embodiments, a method of targeting 5T4 in a subject in need thereof is provided.

CD3-IAB25M
[0459] CD3 (cluster of differentiation 3) was discovered concurrently with the monoclonal antibody OKT3. Initially, OKT3 was found to bind to all mature, peripheral T cells, and later the CD3 epsilon subunit as part of the TCR-CD3 complex was determined to be the cell surface antigen bound by OKT3. (Kung, P. et al., "Monoclonal antibodies defining distinctive human T cell surface antigens," Science, Vol. 206, No. 4416, pp. 347-349, 1979). Examples of CD3 subunits are shown with SEQ ID NOs: 136-139. OKT3 was subsequently tested as an immunosuppressant for transplant rejection with the initial trial studying acute kidney allograft rejection (Cosimi, A. B. et al., "Treatment of acute renal allograft rejection with OKT3 monoclonal antibody," Transplantation, Vol. 32, No. 6, pp. 535-539, 1981).
[0460] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs, including antibodies and fragments thereof, such as minibodies, that bind to a target molecule, CD3, are provided. Such antigen binding constructs can be useful for detecting the presence, localization, and/or quantities of the target molecule (CD3 and/or CD3+ cells). Such antigen binding constructs can also be useful for modulating the biologic activity associated with CD3 expression on immune cells and for targeting therapeutic agents to cells that express the CD3 protein. In some embodiments, methods are provided for detecting the presence or absence of the target molecule (or "target") using antigen binding constructs (including antibodies, and constructs such as minibodies). In some embodiments, methods are provided for using the antigen binding constructs for therapeutic purposes.
[0461] Some embodiments of the CD3 minibodies disclosed herein can also be used as a therapeutic minibody, for example to modulate immune system reaction by neutralizing T cells via the CD3 epsilon domain of the TCR complex and by upregulating T regulatory cells via upregulation of FOXP3 (Saruta, M. et al., "Characterization of FOXP3+CD4+ regulatory T cells in Crohn's disease," Clin. Immunol., Vol. 125, No. 3, pp. 281-290, 2007). Such therapeutics have utility in treating not only tissue/organ allograft transplants but also autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Lupus Erythematosus to name a few.
[0462] Initial proof-of-concept preclinical imaging has been performed with a humanized anti-CD3 antibody, Visilizumab which was not derived from OKT3 (Malviya, G. et al., "Radiolabeled humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody Visilizumab for imaging human T-lymphocytes," Vol. 50, No. 10, pp. 1683-1691, 2009). Imaging of CD3+ T-cells is useful for anti-CD3 therapy since the treatment is effective if the organ of interested has been entirely infiltrated with CD3+ T-cells. A potential CD3 imaging agent would allow for the selection of the patient and also a way to monitor treatment. Imaging with a full-length antibody typically requires a longer time postinjection for optimal imaging than with the fragments provided herein.
[0463] Anti-CD3 antigen binding constructs, such as minibodies are provided in some embodiments. The antigen binding constructs can be used, for example, for imaging and for treating a variety of disorders involving the immune system.
[0464] In some embodiments, antigen binding constructs that bind the CD3 antigen can be antibodies, minibodies and/or other fragments of antibodies such as scFv. Some non-limiting embodiments of antigen binding constructs against CD3 are shown in FIGS. 33, 36D, 69.
[0465] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be used as a therapeutic without linkage to another molecule such as a toxin (see, for example, Chatenoud, L. et al., "CD3-specific antibodies: a portal to the treatment of autoimmunity," Nat. Rev. Immunol., Vol. 7, No. 8, pp. 622-632, 2007). Such antigen binding constructs can also be useful for modulating the biologic activity associated with CD3 expression on immune cells to treat a variety of diseases including cancer, diabetes, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct alone can be used as an immunosuppressant and shows activity to inhibit CD3 signaling.
[0466] The CD3 antigen binding constructs disclosed herein can also be used as a therapeutic antigen binding construct, for example to modulate immune system reaction by neutralizing T cells via the CD3 epsilon domain of the TCR complex and by upregulating T regulatory cells via upregulation of FOXP3 (Saruta, M. et al., 2007). Such therapeutics have utility in treating not only tissue/organ allograft transplants but also autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Lupus Erythematosus to name a few.
[0467] In some embodiments an antigen binding construct, such as a minibody, can contain one or more CDRs from the variable heavy or light regions of Teplizumab.
[0468] In some embodiments, one or more of the antigen binding constructs provided herein can be combined with other immune cell targeting agents such as antibodies directed to OX40, CD134, CD40, CD154, CD80, CD86, ICOS, CD137 and/or IL-1 receptor antagonists. In some embodiments, the minibody directed to CD3 decreases an immune response and no additional therapeutic agent need be conjugated to the antigen binding construct. Thus, in some embodiments, minibodies are provided for the treatment of autoimmune diabetes or other autoimmune conditions that involve T cells that are not conjugated to or involve a therapeutic agent.
[0469] In some embodiments, the CD3 antigen binding constructs can be used as a therapeutic antigen binding construct to modulate immune system reaction by stimulating and tolerizing T cells via the CD3 epsilon domain of the TCR complex and/or by upregulating T regulatory cells via upregulation of FOXP3 (Saruta, M. et al., 2007) Such therapeutics can be useful in treating not only tissue/organ allograft transplants but also autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Lupus Erythematosus, etc.
[0470] In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct can be used as a therapeutic without linkage to another molecule such as a toxin (see, for example, Chatenoud, L. et al., 2007). Such antigen binding constructs can also be useful for modulating the biologic activity associated with CD3 expression on immune cells to treat a variety of diseases including cancer, diabetes, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct alone can be used as an immunosuppressant and shows activity to inhibit CD3 signaling.
[0471] Without being limited to any one theory, in some embodiments, a bispecific antigen binding construct binds to the target on the target positive cell, and binds to the first antigen (which can be different from CD3) on the first cell, and thus brings the target positive cell in proximity to the first cell. For example, a CD3+ cell can be brought into proximity of a cancer cell, and can facilitate an immune response against that cancer cell.
[0472] In some embodiments, the minibody can be conjugated to a therapeutic agent for the treatment of the CD3 dependent disorder.
[0473] The subject can have any of a number of CD3 dependent disorders, which, for example, can be Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes or Lupus Erythematosus.
[0474] In some embodiments, an antigen binding construct as provided herein allows for significant decrease in undesirable side effects, including, but not limited to, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, T cell activation, and/or cell proliferation.
[0475] In some embodiments, a method of treatment is provided whereby the subject can benefit from the application of CD3 directed antigen binding constructs, but rather than a full length construct, a minibody is instead administered, so as to result in a lower stimulation of immune cell activation after binding of the antigen binding construct to CD3 in vivo.
[0476] In some embodiments, the amount of the minibody in a pharmaceutical composition is greater than the amount that could otherwise be administered for a full length construct (for example, full length OKT3). In some embodiments, the amount administered would induce a cytokine storm in the subject, if the amount had been administered as a full length construct. In some embodiments, the amount that can be administered without resulting in a cytokine storm or in cytokine release syndrome (CRS), is at least 10 micrograms/m2, for example, at least 10, 17, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or at least 1000 micrograms/m2 of the minibody format can be administered. In some embodiments, this amount will not result in cytokine release syndrome. In some embodiments, this amount will not result in Grade 1 and/or Grade 2 cytokine release syndrome. In some embodiments, this amount will not result in one or more of the following symptoms: rash, headache, nausea, vomiting, and/or chills/rigors/pyrexia. In some embodiments, these symptoms, which would normally occur on Day 1 or Day 5 or 6 of dosing if a full length antibody is used, will not be present if a minibody is employed.
[0477] In some embodiments, a method is provided for the treatment of an individual in need of a CD3 blocking therapy, and wherein the individual is also at risk of developing and/or experiencing a cytokine storm. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering to the subject at risk of experiencing a cytokine storm a minibody construct of a full length antibody; however, the minibody format will allow for a reduction in the intensity of any immune cell activation that would otherwise occur, had a full length antibody been administered to the subject. In some embodiments, the minibody can share the same CDRs (or similar CDRs) and/or the same heavy and light chain variable regions (or similar heavy and light chain variable regions). In some embodiments, the administration of the minibody allows for lower stimulation of immune cell activation after binding to CD3 occurs. In some embodiments, the administration of the minibody allows for a reduction in the level of cytokines released after the binding to CD3 occurs. In some embodiments, the administration of the minibody allows for lower amounts of activation to occur following the binding to CD3, than if a full length construct had been employed.
[0478] In some embodiments, one can administer a CD3 therapy without having to administer a counter therapy, wherein the counter therapy would be designed to reduce or block a cytokine storm. In some embodiments, this comprises administering a minibody antigen binding construct to the subject, instead of a full length construct.
[0479] In some embodiments, a method of reducing an intensity and/or likelihood of a cytokine storm is provided, the method can include identifying a subject who is to receive an antigen binding construct that is to bind CD3, and administering to the subject an effective amount of a minibody that binds to CD3. In some embodiments, the construct is one or more of those provided herein.
[0480] As described herein, the ability to reduce and/or avoid a cytokine storm (or other aspect, such as reducing activation and/or proliferation) can be especially relevant for antigen binding constructs that bind to CD3. In some embodiments, the process (e.g., using a minibody format) to avoid such issues can be employed for other target proteins, for example, any target protein for which the binding of an antibody to the target results in a cytokine storm or activation/proliferation. In some embodiments, the method can be employed to allow one to avoid inappropriate and/or damaging activation in a subject, in which the activation occurs in response to a bivalent antigen binding protein. In some embodiments, rather than a CD3 antigen binding protein, one can employ a CD28 antigen binding protein (e.g., minibody) that binds to CD28).
[0481] In some embodiments, the use of a CD3 minibody allows for a subject to receive adequate levels of the antigen binding construct to allow for treatment of a CD3 dependent disorder. In some embodiments, the subject can receive the CD3 binding molecules without also and/or subsequently having to receive insulin injections. In some embodiments, the use of a CD3 minibody construct allows for one to dampen a CD3 driven response without destroying too many B cells in the process. In some embodiments, the activation/proliferation that is reduced includes activation and/or proliferation of a T cell and/or a Natural Killer (NK) cell.
[0482] In some embodiments, providing an antigen binding construct to a subject in need comprises providing an effective amount of an antigen binding construct to CD3, wherein said antigen binding construct binds to CD3, but does not result in a significant increase in an amount of at least one of cytokine release, activation, or proliferation.
[0483] In some embodiments, a method of administering a therapeutic agent that binds CD3 on an immune cell is provided. The method comprises providing an antigen binding construct as provided herein (e.g., any of the minibodies to CD3) to a subject in need of lowering an amount of CD3. The antigen binding construct binds to CD3; however, as shown by the data provided herein, the antigen binding construct does not result in a significant amount of an increase in at least one of cytokine release, activation, or proliferation. In some embodiments, the lowering of CD3 denotes a lowering of the amount of free CD3 protein available. In some embodiments, the lowering of CD3 denotes the lowering of cells expressing CD3 protein.
[0484] In some embodiments, the construct does not result in a cytokine storm at a level that would be unacceptably detrimental to the subject.
[0485] In some embodiments, a method of treating a subject having a CD3 dependent disorder is provided. The method comprises providing to the subject an effective amount of an antigen binding construct. The antigen binding construct is a minibody that binds to CD3. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct is conjugated to a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the antigen binding construct comprises a bivalent arrangement comprising a first binding site and a second binding site, wherein the first binding site binds to CD3, and wherein the second binding site binds to CD3. The effective amount is a Molar amount that, had the antigen binding construct been administered in a different format-in particular in the full antibody format (for example OKT3), the Molar amount would induce an cytokine storm at an intensity that would make it unacceptable for therapeutic purposes. However, this same Molar amount, when the antigen binding construct is a minibody, is still effective for the CD3 based therapy, but does not induce a cytokine storm at unacceptable levels.
[0486] In some embodiments, as the present constructs can be used for therapies, even though they are bivalent and bind to CD3, therapeutic constructs of CD3 antigen binding constructs can be employed. In some embodiments, an antigen binding construct that binds to CD3 in vivo, but does not result in a significant amount of at least one of cytokine release, activation, or proliferation is provided.
[0487] The term "CD3 dependent disorder" includes rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, organ transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, allergies and other disorders where T and/or Natural Killer (NK) cells play a role in the pathology.
[0488] A "cytokine storm," also known as a "cytokine cascade" or "hypercytokinemia" is a potentially fatal immune reaction that involves of a positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells, with highly elevated levels of various cytokines. Symptoms of a cytokine storm are high fever, swelling and redness, extreme fatigue and nausea. In some cases the immune reaction may be fatal. Typically, some level of cytokine release is acceptable and necessary for instance when fighting an infection. When one has fever chills associated with flu, such symptoms are the result of the immune system fighting the virus so such levels are acceptable and are not a "cytokine storm". However, when the activation arm is overstimulated and not balanced by an inhibitory signal, these cytokines can lead to organ and tissue damage and ultimately death. In some embodiments, the constructs provided herein can be useful for avoiding and/or minimizing cytokine release syndrome, and thus, can be applied to situations where anti-T cell full length antibodies might otherwise be used. In some embodiments, any of the methods provided herein directed to cytokine storms can also be applied to cytokine release syndrome.
[0489] In some embodiments, the subject has an inflammatory and/or autoimmune condition. In some embodiments, the condition is selected from at least one of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, or lupus erythematosus.
[0490] In some embodiments, the cytokines are those that are involved in cytokine storms induced from full length OKT3 antibody administration. In some embodiments, the cytokines include at least one of IFN.gamma., IL-2, TNF-.alpha., or IL-17.

[0493] In some embodiments, a method of detecting the presence or absence of CD3 is provided. The method comprises: applying any of the minibody embodiments provided herein to a sample; and detecting a binding or an absence of binding of the antigen binding construct thereof to CD3. In some embodiments of the method, the minibody comprises a detectable marker selected from the group consisting of a radioactive substance, a dye, a contrast agent, a fluorescent compound, a bioluminescent compound, an enzyme, an enhancing agent, and a nanoparticle. In some embodiments of the method, applying the minibody comprises administering the minibody to a subject. In some embodiments of the method, detecting binding or absence of binding of the minibody thereof to target antigen comprises positron emission tomography. In some embodiments, the method further comprises applying a secondary antibody or fragment thereof to the sample, wherein the secondary antibody or fragment thereof binds specifically to the minibody. In some embodiments of the method, the minibody thereof is incubated with the sample for no more than 1 hour.

In some embodiments of the antibody, apart from the hinge region, the antibody comprises a humanized amino acid sequence.
[0497] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises: a HCDR1 of the HCDR1 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 174; a HCDR2 of the HCDR2 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 175; a HCDR3 of the HCDR3 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 176; a LCDR1 of the LCDR1 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 177; a LCDR2 of the LCDR2 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 97; and a LCDR3 of the LCDR3 in Table 8 SEQ ID NO: 178 for CD3.

Additional Embodiments
[0504] In some embodiments, the scFv or minibody have superior pharmacokinetic properties for diagnostic imaging. Current technology utilizes imaging with the intact antibody which requires significantly longer time (.about.7 days post-injection) to produce high contrast images due to the slow serum clearance of full length antibodies. The minibody provide the opportunity for same-day or next-day imaging. Each day is vital for patients with an aggressively progressing disease, and the ability to identify the proper therapeutic approach at an earlier time-point has the potential to improve patient survival. Same-day or next-day imaging also provides a logistical solution to the problem facing many patients who travel great distances to receive treatment/diagnosis since the duration of travel stays or the need to return one week later would be eliminated when imaging with minibody versus full length antibodies. In some embodiments, exposure to lower doses of radiation allows one to image multiple times and follow disease progression over time.
[0505] Additionally, in some embodiments, the minibody component monomers contain hinge cysteine residues that form disulfide bonds. These covalently bound cysteine residues can be opened via mild chemical reduction to provide an active thiol groups for cysteine specific conjugation while maintaining the integrity of the dimeric minibody molecule. Current chemical conjugation methods include the following site specific platforms: Introducing a cysteine in F(ab)'2 region of antibody, e.g. Thio-Mabs (Roche); a cysteine in the position of 239 in the Fc (DISH-Mab, Seattle Genetics), non-natural amino-acids, such as keto-phenylalanine (Ambrx) for alkoxyamine linker formation, phenylalanineazidomethane (Sutro) for click-cycloaddition, glutamine in the Fc region for transglutaminase-dependent conjugation (Rinat-Pfizer). Hinge-cysteines in mAbs provide a chemical handle for non-site-specific thiol-conjugation chemistry. Conjugation to lysines is also non-site-specific or random and results in the highest heterogeneity. In some embodiments, one can introduce a site specific cysteine in the scFv, framework or another portion of the antigen binding construct provided herein.
[0506] The ability to image a patient's entire body for the presence of an antibody's target prior to and during treatment provides valuable information for personalized patient management. During the testing of an antibody therapy's safety and efficacy, it is useful to be able to select and test the treatment on patients who express the antibody's target as part of their disease progression.
[0507] In some embodiments, scFv or minibody diagnostic fragments matching available antibody therapies allow matching of the patient's disease state with the appropriate antibody therapy.
[0508] In some embodiments, a method of targeting a first antigen on a target molecule positive cell to is provided. The method can include applying a bispecific antigen binding construct to a sample. The bispecific antigen binding construct can include an antigen binding construct as described herein. The bispecific antibody or fragment thereof can include an antigen binding construct that binds to the first antigen, for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 CDR's, a scFv, or a monomer of a minibody. In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody includes 1, 2, or 3 HCDR's of an antigen binding construct as described herein, and/or 1, 2, or 3 LCDR's of an antigen binding construct as described herein. In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen binding construct includes a scFv of an antigen binding construct as described herein. In some embodiment, the bispecific antigen binding construct includes a V.sub.H or V.sub.L sequence as described herein. In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen binding construct includes a minibody monomer as described herein. In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen binding construct is applied to a sample in vivo, for example an organ or tissue of a subject. In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen binding construct is applied to an in vitro sample. Without being limited to any one theory, in some embodiments, the bispecific antigen binding construct binds to the target on the target positive cell, and binds to the first antigen (which can be different from the first target molecule) on the first cell, and thus brings the target positive cell in proximity to the first cell. For example, a first target molecule+ cell can be brought into proximity of a cancer cell, and can facilitate an immune response against that cancer cell. In some embodiments, a bispecific antigen binding construct comprised of a first target molecule and a second target molecule fragment can bring a cytotoxic T cell in proximity of an activated first target molecule expressing immune cell or first target molecule expressing tumor cell to result in killing of the target cell. In some embodiments, one can target any immune cells (NK or B cell or dendritic cell) and bridge it to an antigen expressing cell as determined by the specificity of the second scFv.
[0509] Minibody constructs contain antigen binding scFvs with variable linker lengths that can be in either V.sub.L-V.sub.H or V.sub.H-V.sub.L orientation. scFvs can be linked to any of 12 hinge sequences as described on Table 0.1. scFvs and appropriate hinges can be linked with C.sub.H3 domains from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 antibodies. In some embodiments, the first hinge cysteine that usually pairs with light chain in native IgG1, IgG2 and IgG3 antibodies should be mutated to a serine or alanine or other appropriate amino acid to prevent disulfide scrambling and/or concatamerization. To reduce the presence or reduce the formation of half-molecules and enhance stability in vivo, the hinge region should contain at least three cysteins to form at least three disulfide bonds with the other monomer. Three cysteines per strand in the hinge located at appropriate distances from one another are useful to allow for proper disulfide bond formation (Table 3). Three disulfide bonds in the hinge within the minibody located at appropriate distances from one another are useful for protein stability in vivo and clearance through liver rather than renal clearance. At least three disulfides (or more) in the hinge are beneficial for site specific conjugation of drugs, chelators or fluorescent dyes. Mbs constructed as described above retain similar affinity to parent antibodies. In some embodiments, involving the IgG1 construct, the first cys can be left intact and it does not seem too deleterious.
[0510] In some embodiments, the hinge of a minibody or a bispecific minibody comprising an upper hinge, a core hinge and a lower hinge can be generated by combining any one of the upper hinge, any one of the core hinge and any one of the lower hinge sequences as shown in Table 3.
[0511] In some embodiments, the first cysteine residue in the hinge can be changed to any amino acid. In some embodiments, one cysteine residue in the upper hinge can be changed to any amino acid. In some embodiments, one cysteine residue in the core hinge can be changed to any amino acid. In some embodiments, two cysteine residues in the core hinge can be changed to any amino acid. In some embodiments, one cysteine residue in the upper hinge and one cysteine residue in the core hinge can be changed to any amino acid. In some embodiments, one cysteine in the upper hinge and two cysteine residues in the core hinge can be changed to any amino acid.

Example 1--Minibody Structure
[0604] The minibody is a bivalent, covalently bound homodimer of .about.80 kDa. Each monomer (half-molecule) is comprised of a variable heavy (V.sub.H) domain linked to the corresponding variable light (V.sub.L) domain by an approximate 15-18 amino acid Gly-Ser-rich linker sequence. Each single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is linked to a human IgG C.sub.H3 domain by a hinge sequence.
[0605] The sequences encompassing the disulfide bonds of the hinge are important and were designed to prevent undesirable disulfide scrambling with cysteine residues present in other regions of the protein as well as contain sufficient numbers of cysteine pairs to maintain dimer integrity in vivo and also as a possible site for site-specific conjugation.
[0606] To date most minibodies have been engineered using the native human IgG1 upper and core hinge regions with an extension sequence linked to the human IgG1 C.sub.H3 domain as shown in FIG. 1. As outlined in the following examples, scFv variants with both orientations--V.sub.L-V.sub.H (M1) and V.sub.H-V.sub.L (M2)--were often evaluated for the various target molecules.
Engineering Based on Human IgG1
[0607] In previous hinges (e.g., .gamma.1 EH1), the first cysteine in the hinge (FIG. 2 top) created problems resulted in protein heterogeneity as demonstrated by the intact mass analysis results using LC/MS. Despite the clear importance of cysteines in the hinge region, it was decided to mutate this cysteine to a serine, resulting in .gamma.1 EH2 hinge (FIG. 2 bottom). However, it was determined that this hinge construct did not achieve certain desired aspects, as it appeared that the two disulfide bonds that were formed between the two remaining cysteine residues in the core hinge (FIG. 2 bottom) were not adequate to maintain dimer stability in vivo.
IgG2 Mbs to Overcome Problems with IgG1 Hinge Sequence
[0608] To address the newly introduced aspects noted above, the minibodies were further engineered. Engineered minibodies based on huIgG2 with an extension sequence provided a third cysteine in the core hinge (an additional cysteine over IgG1 native core hinge) to increase disulfide bonding and increase protein stability. HuIgG2 minibodies of IAB2M and IAB22M were engineered using human IgG2 (huIgG2) hinge sequence linked to the huIgG2 C.sub.H3 domain.
[0609] In the native IgG2 upper and core hinge sequences combined with the extension sequence as the lower hinge (.gamma.2 EH1) an increase in aggregation was observed. The reactive cysteine (FIG. 3 top; first cysteine of the hinge) was responsible for concatamer formation in IAB2M-.gamma.2 EH1 format with huIgG2 native hinge (FIG. 3 top) as observed by SDS-PAGE analysis shown in FIG. 5A.
[0610] Thus, similar to what was done for the IgG1 hinge (.gamma.1 EH1) the first cysteine in the hinge (that pairs with light chain) was mutated to serine resulting in IgG2 EH2 (.gamma.2 EH2) (FIG. 3 bottom). Antigen binding constructs with this hinge (.gamma.2 EH2) expressed well and had good stability in vivo. All three disulfide bonds in the core hinge formed properly as detected by mass spectrometry. Stability was demonstrated with both IAB2M and IAB22M constructs with .gamma.2 EH2.
[0611] Further engineered huIgG2 minibodies with the first cysteine altered to a serine and native upper and lower hinge sequence (.gamma.2 NH2) was evaluated and the proteins were found to be stable in vivo (FIG. 4 bottom).
Example 2--In Vitro Data for IAB2M
[0612] Table 1 shows an overview of the IAB2M variants (SEQ ID NOS are shown in FIGS. 5B-5E). Additional embodiments of IAB2M variants are shown in FIGS. 47-53.

[0613] SDS-PAGE analysis (FIG. 5A) of IAB2M with hinge variants .gamma.1 EH1, 71 EH2 and .gamma.2 EH1 and .gamma.2 EH2 showed that the half molecule to dimer ratios were greatly improved (half molecule can be decreased from 20-30% to less than 1%) with mutation of the first hinge cysteine in the EH2 variants. The .gamma.2 EH2 version had proper disulfide bonding and no concatemers compared to .gamma.2 EH1 (SEQ IDS NOS. in FIGS. 5B-5E). Due to the presence of the additional cysteine in the core hinge (3 instead of 2), the .gamma.2 EH2 hinge variant exhibited improved stability and had less half-molecules present compared to the .gamma.1 EH2 hinge variant.
[0614] Confirmation of the presence of half-molecules was performed by intact mass analysis. The protein samples were separated under reverse phase conditions using TSKgel Phenyl-5PW column (2.times.75 mm, Tosoh Biosciences) at 60.degree. C. and analyzed by Agilent ESI-QTOF model 6538. FIG. 6A shows intact mass analysis of IAB2M .gamma.1 EH1 variant. The total ion chromatograms of the separated half-molecule and full-size molecule are shown in the upper panel. The UV280 trace (not shown) was used for quantitation of the percent of half-molecules present in the minibody variant by peak integration. The deconvoluted masses were used for assignment and confirmed the identity of half molecules (Middle panel) and of the full size masses (Lower panel). FIG. 6B shows intact mass analysis of IAB2M .gamma.2 EH1 variant. Upper panel shows the total ion chromatogram under reverse phase conditions. Middle panel shows the deconvoluted intact masses confirming the presence of half molecules and the lower panel shows the full size molecular masses that were identified. FIG. 6C shows intact mass analysis of IAB2M .gamma.1 EH2 variant. Upper panel shows the total ion chromatogram under reverse phase conditions. Middle panel shows the deconvoluted intact masses confirming the presence of half molecules and the lower panel shows the full size molecular masses that were identified. FIG. 6D shows intact mass analysis of IAB2M .gamma.2 EH2 variant. Upper panel shows the total ion chromatogram. Lower panel shows the deconvoluted intact masses confirming the presence of the full-size mass molecules. No half molecules were detected.
[0615] FAC analysis (FIGS. 7A and 7B) of IAB2M variants showed that changing the hinge from the previously used standard hinge, .gamma.1 EH1, did not impact the binding affinity for target antigen expressed either on LNCap-AR cells (FIGS. 5B, 5C, 5D) or C4-2 XCL cells (FIGS. 5B, 5C, 5E, 7C).
[0616] For disulfide mapping to help understand the half-molecule formation, samples were prepared by denaturing the protein with 6 M guanidine HCl in Tris pH 7.5. To this, 4-vinylpyridine was added to a concentration of 30 mM followed by a 1 hr incubation in the dark to cap free cysteine. The solution was diluted to bring the concentration of guanidine to 1 M followed by digestion using trypsin/Lys-C. The digestion was allowed to proceed overnight at 37.degree. C. The samples were frozen and dried down prior to separation. This was followed by LC/MS in which peptide mix was separated in 0.05% aqueous TFA in the gradient of 0.05% TFA in 90% acetonitrile using gradient on the Waters Xbridge BEH130 C18 4.6.times.150 mm column, and masses were identified using ESI-QTOT mass spectrometer 6538 (Agilent) in the positive mode and deconvoluted using the Agilent Mass Hunter software. Disulfide-containing peptides identified within IAB2M .gamma.1 EH1 dimer is shown in FIG. 8.
[0617] Disulfide Mapping of IAB2M .gamma.1 EH1 demonstrated the presence of properly formed e.g. expected disulfides in the hinge region and also detected disulfide scrambling. FIG. 8 shows a table of the identified disulfides while FIG. 9 shows an illustration of the results. The disulfides (FIG. 8) occurred between the expected cysteine residues (cysteines of SEQ ID NO: 183 and SEQ ID NO: 184; cysteines of SEQ ID NO: 183 and SEQ ID NO: 185; SEQ ID NO: 186) and between unexpected cysteine residues present in other domains of the protein. It was hypothesized that the unpaired cysteine in the hinge could give rise to disulfide scrambling whereby conventional disulfide formation (solid lines) was discouraged (FIG. 9). Furthermore, the V.sub.H disulfides were not observed (broken lines) presumably due to the tryptic disulfide-bonded peptide not ionizing (and hence, not detected) in the mass spectrometer (FIG. 9).
[0618] Reformatting to huIgG2 EH1 (T2 EH1) did not improve stability of IAB2M. FIG. 10 shows a graphical representation of the identified disulfides. Significant concatamer formation was observed for T2 EH1 by SDS-PAGE (FIG. 5A). As in IAB2M .gamma.1 EH1, the V.sub.H disulfides were not observed (broken lines) presumably due to the tryptic disulfide-bonded peptide not ionizing efficiently and hence, not being detected in the mass spectrometer. IAB2M T2 EH1 (FIG. 5D) exhibited >10% of half-molecule (39,469.5 Da by LC/MS) (FIG. 10 and FIG. 6B). A dominant half molecule (peak 1) was seen in chromatograms as shown on the panel (A) and (B) in FIG. 10. FIG. 6A (upper panel) shows total ion current (TIC) chromatogram of IAB2M.gamma.1 EH1 where peaks 1 and 2 are half molecule and full-size molecule, respectively. FIG. 6A middle panel shows UV280 channel with peak integration allowing determination of the percent half-molecule, 11.1%. FIG. 6A (Lower panel) shows molecular masses comprising the peak 2.
Example 3--In Vivo Data for IAB2M
[0619] PET/CT and biodistribution of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.1 EH1 (FIG. 5B) was performed in nude mice. MIP PET/CT images of a nude mouse bearing a PSMA positive 22Rv1 xenograft on the right shoulder after administration of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.1-EH1 at 24 h and 48 h are shown in FIG. 11A. The average radioactive uptakes in the tissues from 3 mice at 48 h are shown as percentage of injected dose per gram (ID/g) (FIG. 11B). The tumor uptake was relatively low (6.1.+-.1.2% ID/g) and the kidney uptake was high (23.3.+-.6.2% ID/g); almost 2-fold higher than the liver uptake (14.1.+-.1.6% ID/g). If the minibody remains as a dimer in vivo, then it would be expected that protein clearance would occur through the liver. The kidney signal being greater than the liver signal suggested instability and half molecule formation in vivo.
[0620] PET/CT and biodistribution of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.1 EH2 (FIG. 5C) was performed in nude mice. MIP PET/CT images of nude mouse bearing a PSMA positive 22Rv1 xenograft on the right shoulder after administration of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.1 EH2 at 24 h and 47 h are shown in FIG. 12A. The radioactive uptakes in the tissues from 2 mice at 47 h are shown as percentage of injected dose per gram (ID/g) (FIG. 12B). Again a 2- to 3-fold higher radioactive uptake was seen in the kidneys. As above, the kidney signal being greater than the liver signal indicated instability and half molecule formation in vivo.
[0621] PET/CT and biodistribution of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.2 EH2 (FIG. 5D) was performed in nude mice. MIP PET/CT images of a nude mouse bearing a PSMA positive 22Rv1 xenograft on the right shoulder after administration of .sup.89Zr-Df-IAB2M-.gamma.2 EH2 at 24 h and 47 h are shown in FIG. 13A. The radioactive uptakes in the tissues from the 2 mice at 47 h are shown as percentage of injected dose per gram (ID/g) (FIG. 13B). Low kidney uptake along with kidney to liver ratios <1 were obtained which indicated that the .gamma.1 EH2 was a stable protein.
Example 4--Summary of IAB2M In Vivo Studies (Table 2)
[0622] Minibodies made with hinge sequences derived from hinge region of IgG1 showed high clearance through the kidneys suggesting protein instability and dissociation into half molecules in vivo (FIG. 11).
[0623] Mutation of the first hinge cysteine to serine in the IgG1 hinge region (.gamma.1 EH2) (FIG. 5C) to prevent undesired interaction with other unpaired cysteine generated a protein with a better profile in vitro (for example, SDS-PAGE data of FIG. 5). However, the high clearance through the kidneys suggested protein instability and dissociation into half molecules in vivo (FIG. 12).
[0624] Minibodies made with an IgG2 hinge wherein the first hinge cysteine is mutated to a serine (.gamma.2 EH2 (FIG. 5D) and others (Table 3, presenting summary of hinge regions)) were cleared through the liver as predicted for proteins of .about.80 kDa and indicated that the molecule remained intact in vivo (FIGS. 13A and 13B). Results are also presented in Table 2.

Example 5--In Vitro Data for IAB22M IGG2 Minibodies
[0625] Intact mass analysis (FIG. 14A) of the IAB22M-.gamma.2 EH1 variant (FIG. 14B) was performed by mass spectrometry. IAB22M with .gamma.2 EH1 hinge had a potential unpaired first hinge cysteine which resulted in .about.9.2% of half molecules (FIG. 20B). For intact mass analysis of IAB22M .gamma.2 EH1, the samples were separated by a reverse phase chromatography column (TSKgel Phenyl-5PW (Tosoh, 2.times.75 mm) at 60.degree. C. and analyzed by Agilent ESI-QTOF mass spectrometer. FIG. 14A shows the total ion chromatograms of the separated half-molecule and full-size molecule in the upper panel. The UV280 trace (not shown) was used for quantitation of the percent of half-molecules present in the minibody variant by peak integration. The deconvoluted masses were used for assignment and confirmed the identity of half molecules (middle panel) and of the full size masses (lower panel).
[0626] However, the intact mass analysis (FIG. 15A) of the IAB22M1-.gamma.2 EH2 variant (FIG. 15B) with the first cysteine in IgG2 hinge mutated to serine showed greater than 99% intact dimeric protein with .gamma.2 EH2 (theoretical MW=79051.2; obtained MW 79052). For intact mass analysis of IAB22M1 .gamma.2 EH2, a protein sample was analyzed by LC/MS consisting of the following: Waters Synapt G2 HDMS fitted with a Trizaic nanoESI source coupled to a Waters nanoAcquity UPLC. The protein was separated using the reverse phase C4 nanotile column (150 .mu.m ID.times.50 mm, Waters) operated at 3 .mu.l/min with 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile as the mobile phases. FIG. 15A upper panel shows full range scan showing the single dominant molecular mass of the full-size minibody. FIG. 15A middle panel shows zoomed-in region of the dimers e.g. full size protein. FIG. 15A lower panel shows zoomed in region of the half-molecules. A half molecule is detected but its relative abundance is nearly 3 orders of magnitude lower than the full size protein.
Example 6--In Vivo Data for IAB22M IGG2 Mbs
[0627] Comparison of the IAB22M Mbs with huIgG1 and huIgG2 derived hinge sequences was performed by PET/CT of 89Zr-Df-IAB22M variants. MIP PET/CT images of NOD-SCID mice bearing CD8 positive HPB-ALL xenografts on the left shoulder after administration of 89Zr-Df-IAB22M-71-EH1 (FIG. 16B), -.gamma.2 NH1 (FIG. 16C) and -.gamma.2 EH2 (FIG. 15B) variants are shown in FIG. 16A. The 72 hinge variants resulted in lower kidney uptake.
[0628] IAB22M Mb made with a huIgG1 hinge (.gamma.1 EH1) (FIG. 16B) was rapidly cleared through the kidney resulting in low tumor targeting. IAB22M Mbs made with huIgG2 hinge variants, either extended hinge (.gamma.2 EH2) (FIG. 15B) or natural hinge (.gamma.2 NH1) (FIG. 16C) showed greater stability in vivo with high tumor targeting and lower kidney clearance (FIG. 16A).
[0629] PET/CT of HPB-ALL tumors was performed for 89Zr-Df-IAB22M-.gamma.1 EH1 (FIG. 16B). Serial coronal images of one mouse with antigen-positive HPB-ALL tumor at 4, 24 and 41 hrs are shown in FIG. 17. Radioactive uptake was clearly seen in the tumor at 24 and 41 hrs. Some background activity was also observed in the antigen negative Daudi tumor. High background activity was present in the abdominal region suggesting undesired clearance through the kidney.
[0630] Biodistribution analysis was performed for 89Zr-Df-IAb22M-.gamma.1 EH1 (FIG. 16B) in HPB-ALL tumor (FIG. 18). The tumor uptake in HPB-ALL was .about.6-fold higher compared to Daudi (Daudi tumor does not express target antigen). The ratio of biodistribution between HPB-ALL tumor and blood was 13.5 and ratio of biodistribution between Daudi tumor and blood was 3.5. Kidney signal was higher than liver signal suggesting higher clearance through kidneys (FIG. 18) and a less stable in vivo construct.
Lessons Learned from Initial Constructs Used for Engineering Optimized Minibodies
[0631] The above results showed that it was important to mutate the first hinge cysteine to prevent cysteine mis-pairing. However, more than 2 cysteine residues are beneficial in the hinge region to maintain the structural integrity of protein. Employing the IgG2 hinge provides a solution to increase stability in vivo. Mutation of the terminal lysine (K) in the Mb constructs did not impact protein expression but did generate protein with a more uniform charge.
[0632] Additional Mb variants were evaluated based on IgG3 and modification of IgG1 hinge sequences where the first hinge cysteine was mutated and at least 3 cysteine residues were present in the hinge region. Table 3 shows a list of hinge variants. The first native cysteine in the hinge sequence can be mutated to serine or alanine or any other amino acid. The lower hinge sequence can be an extension sequence (8-25 amino acids) or native lower hinge from 71, 72, 73 or 74. C.sub.H3 domain for any construct can be from 71, 72 or 73 or 74 and any naturally occurring allele thereof. An illustration of some hinge variants is shown in FIG. 19. IAB2M, IAB22M, IAB20M and IAB1M constructs were evaluated to demonstrate universality of findings.
Example 7--In Vitro Data for Hinge Variants of IAB2M, IAB22M, IAB20M and IAB1M
[0633] Intact mass analysis was performed on IAB2M (FIG. 20A) hinge variants (FIGS. 5B, 5C, 7C, 5E, 5D). Intact mass analysis was also performed on IAB22M (FIG. 20B) hinge variants (FIGS. 14B, 15B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, 20G). Expressed minibodies with engineered hinges (EH) were analyzed for intact mass and the amount of the half molecule (FIGS. 20A and 20B) by LC/MS using a Waters Synapt G2 HDMS fitted with a Trizaic nanoESI source coupled to a Waters nanoAcquity UPLC Waters C4 nanotile column (150 .mu.m ID.times.50 mm length) operated at 3 .mu.l/min with 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile as the buffers. For some molecules the samples were separated by reverse phase chromatography column (TSKgel Phenyl-5PW (Tosoh, 2.times.75 mm) and analyzed by Agilent ESI-QTOF mass spectrometer.
[0634] SDS-PAGE analyses of IAB2M hinge Mb variants (FIGS. 5C, 7C, 21B, 21C, 21D, 21E) and IAB22M hinge Mb variants (FIGS. 16B, 15B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, 20G) were performed. The resulting data are shown in FIGS. 21A and 22A.
[0635] Mass spectrometry analysis was performed to obtained data to support the SDS-PAGE analyses data of FIGS. 21A and 22A. Two IAB22M constructs were evaluated using mass spectrometry to confirm the exact molecular weight, amount of half-molecule and post-translational modification, e.g. C-terminal lysine clipping. The protein constructs included minibodies with engineered hinges EH2, EH3 derived from IgG1 sequence (.gamma.1 EH2 (FIG. 22B) and .gamma.1 EH3 (FIG. 20C)). 71 minibodies with EH2 hinge assembled properly into intact dimeric molecules but inclusion of only two cysteine yielded protein with high amount of half molecule. 71 minibodies with EH3 hinge assembled properly into intact dimeric molecules and addition of third cysteine yielded protein with very low levels of half molecule.
[0636] Intact mass analysis by mass spectrometry of IAB22M-.gamma.1 EH1 (FIG. 16B) is shown in FIG. 23. The obtained molecular masses indicated C-terminal clipping. Of 3 species present (MW 79318.9, 79450.1 and 79575.1) only one matched the predicted MW of 79576. The obtained molecular masses indicated C-terminal clipping. Of 3 species present (MW 79318.9, 79450.1 and 79575.1) only one matched the predicted MW of 79576. The remainder were minibody with either 1 or both C-terminal lysines being clipped. Mbs constructed with only 2 disulfides in the hinge produced high levels of half molecule (.about.15%). For intact mass analysis of IAB22M .gamma.1 EH1, the samples were separated by reverse phase chromatography column (TSKgel Phenyl-5PW (Tosoh, 2.times.75 mm) and analyzed using an Agilent ESI-QTOF mass spectrometer. FIG. 23 shows the total ion chromatograms of the separated half-molecule and full-size molecule (upper panel). The UV280 trace (not shown) was used for quantitation of the percent of half-molecules present in the minibody variant by peak integration. The deconvoluted masses were used for assignment and confirmed the identity of half molecules (middle panel) and of the full size masses (lower panel).
[0637] Intact mass analysis by mass spectrometry of IAB22M-.gamma.1 EH3 variant (FIG. 20C) is shown in FIG. 24. Theoretical MW was 79946 matched the obtained MW of 79946. Modified IgG1 hinge constructed with three disulfide bonds in hinge yielded a minibody with greater than 99% full size protein. For intact mass analysis, a protein sample in acetate buffer was analyzed by LC/MS consisting of the following: Waters Synapt G2 HDMS fitted with a Trizaic nanoESI source coupled to a Waters nanoAcquity UPLC. The protein was separated using the reverse phase C4 nanotile column (150 .mu.m ID.times.50 mm, Waters) operated at 3 .mu.l/min with 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile as the mobile phases. FIG. 24 (upper panel) shows full mass range scan. Middle panel shows zoomed in region showing intact molecular mass. Lower panel shows zoomed in region showing half-molecule.
[0638] Table 9 shows a listing summarizing the theoretical predicted molecular weight (MW) mass and obtained MW mass by intact mass analysis for five IAB2M hinge variants (top; FIGS. 5B-5E, 7C) and seven IAB22M hinge variants (bottom; FIGS. 14B, 15B, 20C, 20D; 20E, 43, 44) and the respective content of half molecule. Actual masses of proteins matched their theoretically calculated molecular masses except where C terminal lysine residues were clipped leading to MW heterogeneity (FIGS. 6, 14A, 15A, 23 and 24).

[0639] FAC analysis of was performed for IAB2M hinge variants (FIGS. 5E, 7C, 7D, 211B, 21C, 21D, 21E). All minibody hinge variants bound with similar affinity to the target antigen expressed on C4-2 XCL cells (FIG. 26).
[0640] FAC analysis was performed for IAB22M hinge variants (FIGS. 151B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, and 20G). Minibodies made with same scFv and C.sub.H3 domains but different hinges all bound to cell surface CD8 on HPB-ALL cell with similar affinity (FIG. 27).
[0641] SDS-PAGE analysis (FIG. 28A) was performed for IAB20M hinge Mb variants (FIGS. 28B-28E) further confirming that the aspects of the hinge region noted herein can be applied across a wide range of target molecules (for example, that it works for a variety of minibodies directed to different target molecules). Additional embodiments of IAB20M variants are shown in FIGS. 54-59.
[0642] SDS-PAGE analysis (FIG. 29A) was performed for IAB1M hinge Mb variants (FIGS. 29B-29D) further confirming that the aspects of the hinge region noted herein can be applied across a wide range of target molecules (for example, that it works for a variety of minibodies directed to different target molecules). Additional embodiments of IAB1M variants are shown in FIGS. 60-65A, 65B, and 65C.
Example 8--In Vivo Data for Hinge Variants of IAB22M
[0643] PET/CT analysis of .sup.89Zr radiolabeled IAB22 Mbs with different hinge sequences (FIGS. 15B, 20C, 20D, 20F, 20G) was performed in NOD-SCID mice. MIP PET/CT images of NOD-SCID mice bearing CD8 positive HPB-ALL xenografts on the left shoulder after administration .sup.89Zr-labeled Df-IAB22M hinge variants at 24 h are shown in FIG. 30. All new hinge variants resulted in lower kidney uptake. Good tumor targeting that ranged from 17-28% ID/g was obtained with all hinge variants. Overall, the liver signal was similar to the kidney signal.
[0644] Biodistribution analysis (FIG. 31) was performed for .sup.89Zr Radiolabeled IAB22 Mbs with the different hinge variants of FIG. 30. Similar biodistribution was observed for the IAB22M hinge variants. Excellent tumor targeting and uptake was detected compared to .gamma.1 EH1. High clearance though liver was observed as predicted based on the data provided herein for a Mb that remained a dimer.

[0645] A PSCA minibody from Table 0.2 is conjugated with a relevant chelating agent via cysteine residues on the minibody and subsequently radiolabeled with an isotope of In-111 (or in the alternative, Zirconium-89 or Copper-64). Alternatively, the minibody can be radiolabeled by directly radiolabeling with iodine via tyrosine residues.
[0646] The minibody is infused intravenously into a healthy human subject. The minibody is incubated in the human subject for 10 minutes post-infusion. On the same day as the incubation, the localization of the minibody is detected via a PET scan or external scintillation system.

Example 11
[0651] Upon successful imaging of PSMA positive tumors by a PSMA minibody from Table 0.2, the biodistribution of the minibody may be investigated according to embodiments of the disclosure. These biodistribution studies can investigate the localization of the minibody at the tumor site versus other selected tissues over time following injection. These studies may be used to demonstrate high tumor to background ratios. Use of a minibody would likely produce a high tumor to background ratio when imaging a tumor that overexpresses PSMA, such as in prostate cancer. Positive results from these imaging and biodistribution experiments may lead to toxicology experiments in preparation for clinical studies.
[0652] Further, the ability of a minibody to target human PSMA in vivo by PET imaging studies may be demonstrated through clinical trials in cancer patients. Briefly, radiolabeled minibody can be injected intravenously into cancer patients having a form of cancer that is known to overexpress PSMA. At specific time points post-injection, each patient may be serially scanned by PET. After the final scan, patients may be scanned by CT for anatomical reference. The PET and CT images for each patient may then be analyzed to evaluate tumor targeting and specificity.
