Description

ANTIBODIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to antibodies for the treatment of cancer.Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer related death in women, accounting for 5% of all cancer related deaths in this gender group. In 2004, ovarian cancer was classified into two categories according to its histological and molecular characteristics: Type I tumors consist of low grade tumors which grow in a step wise fashion, such as low grade serous ovarian carcinoma as well as ovarian carcinomas of endometroid, clear cell, mucinous and transitional histologies. These tumors comprise distinct molecular aberrations which are absent from type II tumors. For example, these include mutations involving elements of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway – such as BRAF and KRAS for the serous and mucinous tumors and mutations in PTEN & ß-catenin for tumors of endometroid histology. Conversely, Type II tumors consist of high grade neoplasms including high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), carcinosarcoma and undifferentiated ovarian carcinoma. These tumors are characterized by recurrent mutations in BRCA, BRCA2 and specifically p53 – which is nearly universally mutated (96%) in HGSOC. While type I tumors arise from the ovarian surface epithelium, it is commonly accepted that type II tumors originate from the fallopian tube epithelium.A stepwise approach to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment is vital to appropriate management of this disease process. An integrated approach with gynecologic oncologists as well as medical oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists is of paramount importance to improving outcomes. Surgical cytoreduction to R0 is the mainstay of treatment, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Genetic testing for gene mutations that affect treatment is the standard of care for all women with epithelial ovarian cancer. However, nearly all women will have a recurrence, and the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer continues to be nuanced and requires extensive review of up to date modalities that balance efficacy with the patient’s quality of life.Additional background art includes: Devi et al. presented in the AACR Annual Meeting-- Apr 4-8, 2007; Los Angeles, CA, May 2007 Volume , Issue 9 Supplement a DX-2400, which is a human anti MMP14 antibody suggested for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to antibodies for the treatment of cancer.Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not necessarily limited in its application to the details set forth in the following description or exemplified by the Examples. The invention is capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways.In an effort to design a novel tool for combating ovarian cancer, the present inventors focused at identifying physiological antibodies having anti-cancer activity which can be used in the clinic upon cloning with or without further modifications.Using bait-free single cell immunoglobulin sequencing and patient-derived antibodies, it was found that somatic hypermutations (SHM) promote tumor-reactivity against surface autoantigens in high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). HGSOC tumor cells originating from both the primary tumor as well as from omental metastases were decorated with IgG typed antibodies and antibodies purified from the malignant ascites fluids of HGSOC patients were able to bind ovarian cancer cell lines. However, IgG typed antibodies decorating the surface of tumor cells were not exclusive to HGSOC, as tumors derived from 345 samples from 24 types of cancer were analyzed and found to be frequently and heterogeneously coated with such antibodies. Intratumoral IgG+ antibody secreting cells (ASCs), primarily situated at the stromal tumor microenvironment were found to be abundant in HGSOC. Single cell sequencing of these intratumoral ASCs revealed characteristic features of antigen driven selection, including highly mutated immunoglobulin genes and clonal expansion of ASCs, which were organized in complex multi-generation phylogenies. Remarkably, polyclonal antibodies purified from HGSOC ascites fluids as well as monoclonal antibodies expressed on the basis of sequenced intratumoral ASCs targeted ECM-remodeling matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP14, a membrane tethered protease which is abundantly expressed on the tumor cell surface. These monoclonal antibodies were unable to bind structurally unrelated antigens and as such, did not show evidence of poly-reactivity. Through reversion of patient- derived monoclonal antibodies to their germline configuration, two classes of antibodies were identified: one that depends on SHM for binding to tumor autoantigens and the tumor cell surface, and a second that shows germline encoded auto-reactivity. Tumor derived monoclonal antibodies as well as ascites derived polyclonal antibodies appeared to retain their Fc mediated functions, as they were able to mediate ADCC against an HGSOC cell line and facilitated antibody dependent phagocytosis (ADCP) of MMP14 coated particles. Thus, the humoral immune response against tumors is largely intact and emerges from either non-reactive precursors in addition to pre-existing autoreactive B cells. These findings highlight the potential applicability of autoantibodies, such as anti-MMP14, for tumor targeting.Thus, according to an aspect of the invention there is provided a monoclonal antibody comprising an antigen binding domain which comprises the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3 or the heavy chain and light chain of an antibody selected from the group consisting of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15, T17, TMRCA, T13 MRCA and T3-16-17 MRCA1 and T3-16-17 MRCA2.According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a monoclonal antibody comprising an antigen binding domain which binds an I-A loop of human MMP14.

When referring to the antibodies in Table 1 the meaning is for heavy chain and light chain of a specific antibody e.g., T3.Table 1 (The SEQ ID NO of each sequence appear on Table 1A) Monoclo nal antibody Heavy chain nucleotide sequence Heavy chain amino acid sequence Light chain nucleotide sequence Light chain amino acid sequence T13 GAGGTGCAGCTGGTGGAGTCTGGGGGA GGCTTGGTACAGCCTGGGGGGTCCCTGA

Fab, F(ab')2, Fv, scFv, dsFv, or single domain molecules such as VH and VL) that are capable of binding to an epitope of an antigen, in this case PstS.According to specific embodiments, the antibody is a whole or intact antibody. According to specific embodiments, the antibody is an antibody fragment.Suitable antibody fragments for practicing some embodiments of the invention include a complementarity-determining region (CDR) of an immunoglobulin light chain (referred to herein as "light chain"), a complementarity-determining region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain (referred to herein as "heavy chain"), a variable region of a light chain, a variable region of a heavy chain, a light chain, a heavy chain, an Fd fragment, and antibody fragments comprising essentially whole variable regions of both light and heavy chains such as an Fv, a single chain Fv Fv (scFv), a disulfide-stabilized Fv (dsFv), an Fab, an Fab’, and an F(ab’)2.As used herein, the terms "complementarity-determining region" or "CDR" are used interchangeably to refer to the antigen binding regions found within the variable region of the heavy and light chain polypeptides. Generally, antibodies comprise three CDRs in each of the VH (CDRH1 or H1; CDRH2 or H2; and CDRH3 or H3) and three in each of the VL (CDRL1 or L1; CDRL2 or L2; and CDR L3 or L3).The identity of the amino acid residues in a particular antibody that make up a variable region or a CDR can be determined using methods well known in the art and include methods such as sequence variability as defined by Kabat et al. (See, e.g., Kabat et al., 992, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed., Public Health Service, NIH, Washington D.C.), location of the structural loop regions as defined by Chothia et al. (see, e.g., Chothia et al., Nature 342:877-883, 989.), a compromise between Kabat and Chothia using Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modeling software (now Accelrys®, see, Martin et al., 989, Proc. Natl Acad Sci USA. 86:9268; and world wide web site www(dot)bioinf-org(dot)uk/abs), available complex crystal structures as defined by the contact definition (see MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745, 996) and the "conformational definition" (see, e.g., Makabe et al., Journal of Biological Chemistry, 283:56-66, 2008).CDRs shown in Table 1 were determined as follows: Antibody nucleotide sequences were identified using IgBlast, based on the human IMGT database. CDR sequences are derived based on IgBlast. Amino acid sequences were obtained using the Expasy Translate tool.As used herein, the "variable regions" and "CDRs" may refer to variable regions and CDRs defined by any approach known in the art, including combinations of approaches.Functional antibody fragments comprising whole or essentially whole variable regions of both light and heavy chains are defined as follows:(i) Fv, defined as a genetically engineered fragment consisting of the variable region of the light chain (VL) and the variable region of the heavy chain (VH) expressed as two chains;(ii) single chain Fv ("scFv"), a genetically engineered single chain molecule including the variable region of the light chain and the variable region of the heavy chain, linked by a suitable polypeptide linker as a genetically fused single chain molecule.(iii) disulfide-stabilized Fv ("dsFv "), a genetically engineered antibody including the variable region of the light chain and the variable region of the heavy chain, linked by a genetically engineered disulfide bond.(iv) Fab, a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule which can be obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme papain to yield the intact light chain and the Fd fragment of the heavy chain which consists of the variable and CH domains thereof;(v) Fab’, a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule which can be obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin, followed by reduction (two Fab’ fragments are obtained per antibody molecule);(vi) F(ab’)2, a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule which can be obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin (i.e., a dimer of Fab’ fragments held together by two disulfide bonds); and(vii) Single domain antibodies or nanobodies are composed of a single VH or VL domains which exhibit sufficient affinity to the antigen.According to specific embodiments the antibody heavy chain constant region is chosen from, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgA, IgA2, IgD, and IgE.

According to specific embodiments, the antibody is an IgG antibody, e.g., IgG1.According to a specific embodiment the antibody isotype is IgG1 or IgG3.According to a specific embodiment the antibody isotype is IgG1 or IgG4.The choice of antibody type will depend on the immune effector function that the antibody is designed to elicit.According to specific embodiments, the antibody comprises an Fc domain.According to specific embodiments, the antibody is a naked antibody.As used herein, the tern "naked antibody" refers to an antibody which does not comprise a heterologous effector moiety e.g. therapeutic moiety, detectable moiety.As used herein "heterologous" means not occurring in nature in conjunction with the antibody.According to specific embodiments, the antibody comprises a heterologous effector moiety e.g. e.g. therapeutic moiety, detectable moiety. The effector moiety can be proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous; the latter generally being generated using functional groups on the antibody and on the conjugate partner. The effector moiety may be any molecule, including small molecule chemical compounds and polypeptides. For example the effector moiety can be a known drug to cancer.According to specific embodiments, the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.Antibody fragments according to some embodiments of the invention can be prepared by proteolytic hydrolysis of the antibody or by expression in E. coli or mammalian cells (e.g. Chinese hamster ovary cell culture or other protein expression systems) of DNA encoding the fragment. Antibody fragments can be obtained by pepsin or papain digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. For example, antibody fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment denoted F(ab')2. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol reducing agent, and optionally a blocking group for the sulfhydryl groups resulting from cleavage of disulfide linkages, to produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Alternatively, an enzymatic cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fab' fragments and an Fc fragment directly. These methods are described, for example, by Goldenberg, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,036,945 and 4,33,647, and references contained therein, which patents are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. See also Porter, R. R. [Biochem. J. 73: 9-26 (959)]. Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of heavy chains to form monovalent light­heavy chain fragments, further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical, or genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments bind to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.Fv fragments comprise an association of VH and VL chains. This association may be noncovalent, as described in Inbar et al. [Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 69:2659­(9720]. Alternatively, the variable chains can be linked by an intermolecular disulfide bond or cross-linked by chemicals such as glutaraldehyde. Preferably, the Fv fragments comprise VH and VL chains connected by a peptide linker. These single­chain antigen binding proteins (sFv) are prepared by constructing a structural gene comprising DNA sequences encoding the VH and VL domains connected by an oligonucleotide. The structural gene is inserted into an expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into a host cell such as E. coli. The recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a linker peptide bridging the two V domains. Methods for producing sFvs are described, for example, by [Whitlow and Filpula, Methods 2: 97-05 (99); Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (988); Pack et al., Bio/Technology :27-77 (993); and U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.Another form of an antibody fragment is a peptide coding for a single complementarity-determining region (CDR). CDR peptides ("minimal recognition units") can be obtained by constructing genes encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes are prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells. See, for example, Larrick and Fry [Methods, 2: 06-0 (99)].It will be appreciated that for human therapy or diagnostics, humanized antibodies and human antibodies are preferably used.When referring to humanized antibodies the meaning is to implant the CDRs of the human antibodies on a backbone of a human antibody e.g., human constant region.According to specific embodiments, the antibody is a humanized antibody. Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric molecules of immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab').sub.2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. Humanized antibodies include human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues form a complementary determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin [Jones et al., Nature, 32:522-525 (986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-329 (988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2:593-596 (992)].Methods for humanizing 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. Humanization can be essentially performed following the method of Winter and co-workers [Jones et al., Nature, 32:522-525 (986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-327 (988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:534-536 (988)], by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Accordingly, such humanized antibodies are chimeric antibodies, 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 CDR residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.According to preferred embodiments, the antibody is a human antibody, such as that derived from the ascites fluid of ovarian cancer patients.

According to a specific embodiment, the human antibody carries human Vh,Dh, Jh, Vl, J, gene segments such as in germ line antibodies or natural variants thereof. Although synthetic antibodies are also contemplated.According to a specific embodiment, the antibody is a homolog of a human antibody comprising an amino acid sequence at least 90 %, 91 %, 92 %, 93 %, 94 %, %, 96 %, 97 % 98 % or 99 % identical to VH chain of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15, T17, T12 MRCA, T13 MRCA and T3-16-MRCA1 and T3-16-17 MRCA2, as long as it is capable of binding ovarian cancer cells.According to a specific embodiment, the antibody is a homolog of a human antibody comprising an amino acid sequence at least 90 %, 91 %, 92 %, 93 %, 94 %, %, 96 %, 97 % 98 % or 99 % identical to VL chain of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15, T17, T12 MRCA, T13 MRCA and T3-16-MRCA1 and T3-16-17 MRCA2 as long as it is capable of binding ovarian cancer cells.As used herein, "sequence identity" or "identity" in the context of two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences includes reference to the residues in the two sequences which are the same when aligned. When percentage of sequence identity is used in reference to proteins it is recognized that residue positions which are not identical often differ by conservative amino acid substitutions, where amino acid residues are substituted for other amino acid residues with similar chemical properties (e.g. charge or hydrophobicity) and therefore do not change the functional properties of the molecule. Where sequences differ in conservative substitutions, the percent sequence identity may be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution. Sequences which differ by such conservative substitutions are considered to have "sequence similarity" or "similarity". Means for making this adjustment are well-known to those of skill in the art. Typically this involves scoring a conservative substitution as a partial rather than a full mismatch, thereby increasing the percentage sequence identity. Thus, for example, where an identical amino acid is given a score of and a non-conservative substitution is given a score of zero, a conservative substitution is given a score between zero and 1. The scoring of conservative substitutions is calculated, e.g., according to the algorithm of Henikoff S and Henikoff JG. [Amino acid substitution matrices from protein blocks. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 992, 89(22): 095-9].Identity (e.g., percent homology) can be determined using any homology comparison software, including for example, the BlastN or BlastP software of the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) such as by using default parameters.When referring to "at least 90 % identity " the claimed invention also refer to at least 91 %, at least 92 %, at least 93 %, at least 94 %, at least 95 %, at least 96 %, at least 97 %, at least 98 %, at least 98 % or 100 % identity where each represents a different embodiment.According to a specific embodiment, the level of identity is at least 90 % over the entire sequence (any of the VH and/or VL chains described herein) such as determined as described herein.According to a specific embodiment, the level of identity is at least 90 %, %, 92 %, 93 %, 94 %, 95 %, 96 %, 97 %, 98 %, 99 % over at least one (or at least 2, 3, 4 or 5) of the CDR sequences of an antibody of Table 1 as described herein.Exemplary CDR sequences and complete light and heavy chains of human antibodies are provided in Table 1 above.Antibody fragments according to some embodiments of the invention can be prepared by proteolytic hydrolysis of the antibody or by expression in E. coli or mammalian cells (e.g. Chinese hamster ovary cell culture or other protein expression systems) of DNA encoding the fragment. Antibody fragments can be obtained by pepsin or papain digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. For example, antibody fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment denoted F(ab')2. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol reducing agent, and optionally a blocking group for the sulfhydryl groups resulting from cleavage of disulfide linkages, to produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Alternatively, an enzymatic cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fab' fragments and an Fc fragment directly. These methods are described, for example, by Goldenberg, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,036,945, and references contained therein, which patents are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety]. Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of heavy chains to form monovalent light-heavy chain fragments, further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical, or genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments bind to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.Fv fragments comprise an association of VH and VL chains. This association may be noncovalent, as described in Inbar et al. [Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 69:2659­(9720]. Alternatively, the variable chains can be linked by an intermolecular disulfide bond or cross-linked by chemicals such as glutaraldehyde. Preferably, the Fv fragments comprise VH and VL chains connected by a peptide linker. These single­chain antigen binding proteins (sFv) are prepared by constructing a structural gene comprising DNA sequences encoding the VH and VL domains connected by an oligonucleotide. The structural gene is inserted into an expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into a host cell such as E. coli. The recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a linker peptide bridging the two V domains. Methods for producing sFvs are described, for example, by [Whitlow and Filpula, Methods 2: 97-105 (99); Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (988); Pack et al., Bio/Technology :271-77 (993); and U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.Another form of an antibody fragment is a peptide coding for a single complementarity-determining region (CDR).

Exemplary polynucleotide sequences are provided in SEQ ID NOs: which appear on Table 1A.A variety of prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells can be used as host-expression systems to express the antibody of some embodiments of the invention. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms, such as bacteria transformed with a recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vector containing the coding sequence; yeast transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing the coding sequence; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors, such as Ti plasmid, containing the coding sequence. Mammalian expression systems can also be used to express the antibodies of some embodiments of the invention.Examples for mammalian expression vectors include, but are not limited to, pcDNA3, pcDNA3.(+/-), pGL3, pZeoSV2(+/-), pSecTag2, pDisplay, pEF/myc/cyto, pCMV/myc/cyto, pCR3., pSinRep5, DH26S, DHBB, pNMT, pNMT4, pNMT8, which are available from Invitrogen, pCI which is available from Promega, pMbac, pPbac, pBK-RSV and pBK-CMV which are available from Strategene, pTRES which is available from Clontech, and their derivatives. As shown in the Examples section which follows, heavy chains were cloned and expressed on the basis of the AbVec2.0- IGHG1 vector (see: Addgene: AbVec2.0-IGHG1). Light (Kappa) chains were cloned and expressed on the basis of AbVec1.1-IGKC (See: Addgene: AbVec1.1-IGKC), each of which is contemplated herein.Expression vectors containing regulatory elements from eukaryotic viruses such as retroviruses can be also used. SV40 vectors include pSVT7 and pMT2. Vectors derived from bovine papilloma virus include pBV-MTHA, and vectors derived from Epstein Bar virus include pHEBO, and p2O5. Other exemplary vectors include pMSG, pAV009/A+, pMTO0/A+, pMAMneo-5, baculovirus pDSVE, and any other vector allowing expression of proteins under the direction of the SV-40 early promoter, SV-40 later promoter, metallothionein promoter, murine mammary tumor virus promoter, Rous sarcoma virus promoter, polyhedrin promoter, or other promoters shown effective for expression in eukaryotic cells.Examples of bacterial constructs include the pET series of E. coli expression vectors [Studier et al. (990) Methods in Enzymol. 85:60-89).In yeast, a number of vectors containing constitutive or inducible promoters can be used, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Application No: 5,932,447. Alternatively, vectors can be used which promote integration of foreign DNA sequences into the yeast chromosome.In cases where plant expression vectors are used, the expression of the coding sequence can be driven by a number of promoters. For example, viral promoters such as the 35S RNA and 9S RNA promoters of CaMV [Brisson et al. (984) Nature 30:5­54], or the coat protein promoter to TMV [Takamatsu et al. (987) EMBO J. 6:307-3] can be used. Alternatively, plant promoters such as the small subunit of RUBISCO [Coruzzi et al. (984) EMBO J. 3:-680 and Brogli et al., (984) Science 224:838-843] or heat shock promoters, e.g., soybean hsp7.5-E or hsp7.3-B [Gurley et al. (986) Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:559-565] can be used. These constructs can be introduced into plant cells using Ti plasmid, Ri plasmid, plant viral vectors, direct DNA transformation, microinjection, electroporation and other techniques well known to the skilled artisan. See, for example, Weissbach & Weissbach, 988, Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academic Press, NY, Section VIII, pp 42-463.

Other expression systems such as insects and mammalian host cell systems which are well known in the art and are further described hereinbelow can also be used by some embodiments of the invention.According to a specific embodiment, antibodies are expressed in HEK293T cells such as by using polyethyleneimine as the transfection reagent.It will be appreciated that antibodies can also be produced in in-vivo systems such as in mammals, e.g., goats, rabbits etc.Recovery of the recombinant antibody is effected following an appropriate time (in culture). The phrase "recovering the antibody " refers to collecting the whole fermentation medium containing the antibody and need not imply additional steps of separation or purification. Notwithstanding the above, antibodies of some embodiments of the invention can be purified using a variety of standard protein purification techniques, such as, but not limited to, affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, filtration, electrophoresis, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, reverse phase chromatography, concanavalin A chromatography, chromatofocusing and differential solubilization.Once antibodies are obtained, they may be tested for activity.Thus, antibodies described herein may be tested and/or characterized using a variety of methods. Such methods may be used to determine a variety of characteristics that may include, but are not limited to, antibody affinity; specificity; and activity (e.g., activation or inhibition of cellular signaling pathways, target binding, cell killing or other cellular or biological activities). Antibody testing may further include testing in vivo (e.g., in animal and/or human studies) for one or more of toxicity, therapeutic effect, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, absorption, deposition, metabolism, and excretion. Testing in animals may include, but is not limited to, testing in mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys), sheep, goats, horses, and cattle.In some embodiments, antibodies of the present invention may be tested or characterized through the use of one or more cell-based assays. Such cell-based assays may be carried out in vitro with cells in culture. In some cases, cell-based assays may be carried out in vivo. Examples of cell-based in vivo assays include tumor models in which tumor cells are injected or otherwise introduced into a host.

In some cases, cell-based assays used herein may include the use of cancer cells. Many cancer cell lines are available for experiments to test antibodies of the invention. Such cells preferably express the target antigen e.g., MMP14 and/or MMP1. Additionally, cancer cell lines may be used to test antibodies of the invention, where the cancer cell lines are representative of cancer stem cells. Cancer stem cell (CSC) cell lines may be isolated or differentiated from cancer cells grown in culture (e.g., through sorting based on markers specific for cancer stem cells). Cell lines used in cell-based assays may include, but are not limited to ovary and pancreas.In some embodiments, ovarian cancer cell lines may be used. Such cell lines may include, but are not limited to SKOV3, OVCAR3, OV90 and A2870 cell lines.OVCAR3 cells were first established using malignant ascites obtained from a patient suffering from progressive ovarian adenocarcinoma (Hamilton, T. C. et al., 983. Cancer Res. 43: 5379-89). Cancer stem cell populations may be isolated from OVCAR3 cell cultures through selection based on specific cell surface markers such as CD44 (involved in cell adhesion and migration), CD33 and CD7 (Liang, D. et al., 202. BMC Cancer. 2: 20, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). OV90 cells are epithelial ovarian cancer cells that were similarly derived from human ascites (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,70,038). OV-90 cells may also express CD44 when activated (Meunier, L. et al., 200. Transl Oncol. 3(4): 230-8).According to some embodiments, the antibody binds MMP14.As used herein "MMP14" refers to matrix metalloproteinase-14, an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP14 gene.Also referred to as MMP-14, MMP-X, MT1-MMP, MT-MMP, MTMMP, MTMMP, WNCHRS, matrix metallopeptidase 14.According to an additional or an alternative embodiment, the antibody binds MMP1.As used herein "MMP1" also known as "interstitial collagenase" and "fibroblast collagenase" is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP gene.Assays for determining binding of an antibody to a target antigen include, but are not limited to, ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR).As used herein "binding " or "binds " refers to an antibody-antigen mode of binding, which is generally, in the range of Kd below 500 nM, such as determined by ELISA.

According to another specific embodiment, the affinity of the antibody to its antigen is determined by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).According to a specific embodiment, the kinetic constants of the antibody is determined using biolayer interferometry (e.g., such as with T13).Specific examples for determining antibody binding are provided in the Examples section which follows.As used herein the term "Kd" refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antigen binding domain and its respective antigen.According to a specific embodiment, the Kd for binding the target (e.g., MMP14) is typically in the range of 0.1-500nMFor example between 1-10 nM, 1-50 nM, 0.1-10 nM, 0.1-50 nM, 0.1-100 nM.High binders which are specifically contemplated herein include, but are not limited to, T3, T12, T13, T10, T11 or T8.The antibody may be soluble or non-soluble.Non-soluble antibodies may be a part of a particle (synthetic or non-synthetic, e.g., liposome) or a cell (e.g., CAR-T cells, in which the antibody is part of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) typically as an scFv fragment).Increasing the cytotoxic activity of an antibody where necessary can also be achieved such as by using an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) concept. In such a configuration the antibody is attached to a heterologous effector moiety that can be used to increase its toxicity or to render it detectable.In some embodiments, antibodies of the invention may be developed for antibody drug conjugate (ADC) therapeutic applications. ADCs are antibodies in which one or more cargo (e.g., therapeutic agents) are attached [e.g. directly or via linker (e.g. a cleavable linker or a non-cleavable linker)]. ADCs are useful for delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., drugs or cytotoxic agents) to one or more target cells or tissues (Panowski, S. et al., 204. mAbs 6:, 34-45). In some cases, ADCs may be designed to bind to a surface antigen on a targeted cell. Upon binding, the entire antibody-antigen complex may be internalized and directed to a cellular lysosome. ADCs may then be degraded, releasing the bound cargo.It will be appreciated that also polyclonal antibodies can be formulated as ADCs and as such are envisaged herein.

The therapeutic agent may be a small molecule drug, a proteinaceous agent, a nucleic acid agent, radio-isolotpes and carbohydrate and the like. These can serve as cytotoxic agents, e.g., chemotherapy.According to a specific embodiment, the therapeutic agent is a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., DNA or RNA, e.g., mRNA) which codes for a viral antigen, in order to elicit an anti viral immune response against the tumor. Examples of viral antigens include, but are not limited to CMV antigens, EBV antigens, Coronavirus antigens and the like. Generally, any mRNA for stimulating an immune response can be used.Where the cargo is a cytotoxic agent, the target cell will be killed or otherwise disabled. Cytotoxic agents may include, but are not limited to cytoskeletal inhibitors [e.g., tubulin polymerization inhibitors, and kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitors], DNA damaging agents (e.g., calicheamicins, duocarmycins, and pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers such as talirine and tesirine), topoisomerase inhibitors [e.g., camptothecin compounds or derivatives such as 7-ethyl-0-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) and exatecan derivative DXd], transcription inhibitors (e.g., RNA polymerase inhibitors such as amanitin), and kinase inhibitors [e.g., phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors].Tubulin polymerization inhibitors may include, but are not limited to, maytansines (e.g., emtansine [DM] and ravtansine [DM4]), auristatins, tubulysins, and vinca alkaloids or derivatives thereof. Exemplary auristatins include auristatin E (also known as a derivative of dolastatin-0), auristatin EB (AEB), auristatin EFP (AEFP), monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), auristatin F and dolastatin. Exemplary tubulysin compounds include naturally occurring tubulysins A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, U, and V, and tubulysin analogs such as pretubulysin D (PTb-D43) and N.sup.4-desacetoxytubulysin H (Tbl). Exemplary vinca alkaloids include vincristine, vinblastine, vindesine, and navelbine (vinorelbine). In some embodiments, cytotoxic agents may include auristatin derivatives [e.g. -aminopropan- 2-yl-auristatin F, auristatin F-hydroxypropylamide, auristatin F-propylamide, auristatin F phenylenediamine (AFP)]; tubulysin derivatives; vinca alkaloid derivatives [e.g. N-(3-hydroxypropyl)vindesine (HPV)], and any of those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,524,24; 8,685,383; 8,808,9; and 9,254,339; US Patent Application Publications US205034008A, US2060220696A and US2060022829A; the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.Examples of Gold-standard chemotherapy useful for the treatment of ovarian cancer include, but are not limited to, single or combination therapy such as with a platinum compound (usually cisplatin or carboplatin), and a taxane, such as paclitaxel (Taxol®) or docetaxel (Taxotere®) or Albumin bound paclitaxel (nab- paclitaxel, Abraxane®), Altretamine (Hexalen®), Capecitabine (Xeloda ®), Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan®), Etoposide (VP-6), Gemcitabine (Gemzar®), Ifosfamide (Ifex®), Irinotecan (CPT-, Camptosar®), Liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil®), Melphalan, Pemetrexed (Alimta®), Topotecan, Vinorelbine (Navelbine®).Examples of Gold-standard chemotherapy useful for the treatment of pancreatic cancer include, but are not limited to Gemcitabine(Gemzar), 5- fluorouracil (5-FU), Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), Albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane), Capecitabine (Xeloda), Cisplatin., Irinotecan (Camptosar).In some embodiments, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) of the invention may further comprise one or more polymeric carrier connecting the antibody and the therapeutic agents (e.g., antibody-polymer-drug conjugates). As used herein, the term "polymeric carrier" refers to a polymer or a modified polymer, which may be covalently attached to one or more therapeutic agents and/or antibodies. Polymeric carriers may provide additional conjugation sites for therapeutic agents, increasing the drug-to-antibody ratio and enhancing therapeutic effects of ADCs. In some embodiments, polymeric carriers used in this invention may be water soluble and/or biodegradable. Such polymeric carriers may include, but are not limited to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide)(polyHPMA), poly(.alpha.-amino acids) [e.g., poly(L-lysine), poly(L-glutamic acid), and poly((N-hydroxyalky)glutamine)], carbohydrate polymers [e.g., dextrins, hydroxyethylstarch (HES), and polysialic acid], glycopolysaccharides (e.g., homopolysaccharide such as cellulose, amylose, dextran, levan, fucoidan, carraginan, inulin, pectin, amylopectin, glycogen and lixenan; or homopolysaccharide such as agarose, hyluronan, chondroitinsulfate, dermatansulfate, keratansulfate, alginic acid and heparin), glycolipids, glycoconjugates, polyglycerols, polyvinyl alcohols, poly(acrylic acid), polyketal and polyacetal [e.g., poly(l-hydroxymethylethylene hydroxymethylformal), also known as PHF or FLEXIMER®., described in U.S. Pat.

Nos. 5,811,501; 5,863,990; and 5,958,398; the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety], and derivatives, dendrimers, copolymers and mixtures thereof. For example, the polymeric carrier may include a copolymer of a polyacetal/polyketal (e.g., PHF) and a hydrophilic polymer such as polyacrylates, polyvinyl polymers, polyesters, polyorthoesters, polyamides, polypeptides, and derivatives thereof.In some embodiments, therapeutic agents are attached (e.g., covalently bonded) to antibodies of the invention directly or via linkers. In some embodiments, therapeutic agents are attached to polymeric carriers directly or via linkers, and the polymeric carriers are attached to the antibodies directly or via linkers. In some embodiments, linkers may comprise an oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic, suberic, azelaic, sebacic, phthalic, isophthalic, terephthalic, diglycolic acid, tartaric, glutamic, fumaric, or aspartic moiety, including amide, imide, or cyclic-imide derivatives of each thereof, and each optionally substituted. Exemplary linkers may include any of those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,524,241; 8,685,383; 8,808,911; 9,254,339; and/or 9,555,2 the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.In some embodiments, linkers may be cleavable linkers. Cleavable linkers may break down under certain conditions (such as changes in pH, temperature, or reduction) or cleaved by enzymes (e.g., proteases and glucuronidases) to allow release of therapeutic agents from ADCs. Such linkers may include a labile bond such as an ester bond, amide bond, or disulfide bond. Non-limiting cleavable linkers may include pH-sensitive linkers (e.g., hydrazone, semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone, cis-aconitic amide, thioether, orthoester, acetal, or ketal); reduction-sensitive linkers [e.g., N- succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP), N-succinimidyl 4-(2- pyridyldithio)butanoate (SPDB), N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridyldithio)pentanoate (SPP), N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate (SATA) and N-succinimidyl-oxycarbonyl-alpha- methyl-alpha-(2-pyridyl-dithio)toluene or 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin--yl 4-(-(pyridin-2- yldisulfanyl)ethyl)benzoate (SMPT)]; photosensitive linkers; and enzymatically cleavable linkers [e.g., peptide linkers such as valine-citrulline, valine-citrulline-p- aminobenzoyloxycarbonyl (vc-PAB), maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p- aminobenzoyloxycarbonyl (MC-vc-PAB), linkers cleavable by glucuronidases, such as glucuronide-MABC, or linkers cleavable by esterases].

In other embodiments, linkers may be non-cleavable linkers. Non-cleavable linkers may increase plasma stability of the ADCs compared to cleavable linkers. Exemplary non-cleavable linkers include maleimide alkane and maleimide cyclohexane (MCC).Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) of the invention may be prepared using any method known in the art. For example, therapeutic agents may be modified to contain a functional group that can react with a functional group on the antibody. Antibody ­drug conjugates (ADCs) may be prepared by reacting the two functional groups to form a conjugate. In some cases, polymeric carriers may be modified to contain functional groups that can react with the functional group on the therapeutic agents and the functional group on the antibody under different chemical conditions. Antibodies, polymeric carriers, and therapeutic agents may be linked to form the antibody-polymer-drug conjugates through sequential chemical reactions. Conjugation to antibodies may employ a lysine or a cysteine residue as the conjugation site. In some embodiments, antibodies may be engineered to have additional lysine or cysteine residues. Such approaches may avoid disruption of antibody structure (e.g., interchain disulfide bonds) and maintain antibody stability and/or activity.In some embodiments, antibodies of the invention may be tested for their ability to promote cell death per se or when developed as ADCs.In some embodiments, antibody sequences of the invention may be used to develop a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). CARs are transmembrane receptors expressed on immune cells that facilitate recognition and killing of target cells (e.g. tumor cells). CARs typically include three basic parts. These include an ectodomain (also known as the recognition domain), a transmembrane domain and an intracellular (signaling) domain. Ectodomains facilitate binding to cellular antigens on target cells, while intracellular domains typically include cell signaling functions to promote the killing of bound target cells. Further, they may have an extracellular domain with one or more of the antibody variable domains described herein or fragments thereof. CARs of the invention also include a transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail. CARs may be designed to include one or more segments of an antibody, antibody variable domain and/or antibody CDR, such that when such CARs are expressed on immune effector cells, the immune effector cells bind and clear any cells that are recognized by the antibody portions of the CARs.

Characteristics of CARs include their ability to redirect T-cell specificity and reactivity toward a selected target in a non-MHC-restricted manner, exploiting the antigen-binding properties of monoclonal antibodies. The non-MHC-restricted antigen recognition gives T cells expressing CARs the ability to recognize antigen independent of antigen processing, thus bypassing a major mechanism of tumor escape. Moreover, when expressed in T-cells, CARs advantageously do not dimerize with endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) alpha and beta chains.CARs engineered to target tumors may have specificity for MMP14 and/or MMP according to some embodiments of the invention. In some embodiments, ectodomains of these CARs may include one or more antibody variable domains or a fragment thereof. In some embodiments, CARs are expressed in T cells, and may be referred to as "CAR-engineered T cells" or "CAR-Ts". CAR-Ts may be engineered with CAR ectodomains having one or more antibody variable domains.Thus, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, antibody sequences of the invention may be used to develop a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). In some embodiments, CARs are transmembrane receptors expressed on immune cells that facilitate recognition and killing of target cells (e.g. tumor cells).In some embodiments, antibodies of the present invention may bind more than one epitope. As used herein, the terms "multibody" or "multispecific antibody" refer to an antibody wherein two or more variable regions bind to different epitopes. The epitopes may be on the same or different targets. In certain embodiments, a multi­specific antibody is a "bispecific antibody," which recognizes two different epitopes on the same or different antigens.Bispecific antibodies are capable of binding two different antigens. Such antibodies typically comprise antigen-binding regions from at least two different antibodies. For example, a bispecific monoclonal antibody (BsMAb, BsAb) is an artificial protein composed of fragments of two different monoclonal antibodies, thus allowing the BsAb to bind to two different types of antigen. One common application for this technology is in cancer immunotherapy, where BsMAbs are engineered to simultaneously bind to a cytotoxic cell (using a receptor like CD3) and a target like a tumor cell to be destroyed.Bispecific antibodies may include any of those described in Riethmuller, G., 202. Cancer Immunity. 2:2-8; Marvin, J. S. et al., 2005. Acta Pharmacologica Sinica. 26(6):649-58; and Schaefer, W. et al., 20. PNAS. 08(27):87-92, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.New generations of BsMAb, called "trifunctional bispecific" antibodies, have been developed. These consist of two heavy and two light chains, one each from two different antibodies, where the two Fab regions (the arms) are directed against two antigens, and the Fc region (the foot) comprises the two heavy chains and forms the third binding site.Other types of bispecific antibodies have been designed to overcome certain problems, such as short half-life, immunogenicity and side-effects caused by cytokine liberation and are contemplated herein. They include chemically linked Fabs, consisting only of the Fab regions, and various types of bivalent and trivalent single­chain variable fragments (scFvs), fusion proteins mimicking the variable domains of two antibodies. The furthest developed of these newer formats are the bi-specific T- cell engagers (BiTEs) and mAb2's, antibodies engineered to contain an Fcab antigen­binding fragment instead of the Fc constant region.In some embodiments, antibodies of the present invention may be diabodies. Diabodies are functional bispecific single-chain antibodies (bscAb). These bivalent antigen-binding molecules are composed of non-covalent dimers of scFvs, and can be produced in mammalian cells using recombinant methods. (See, e.g., Mack et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 92: 702-7025, 995). Few diabodies have entered clinical development. An iodine-23-labeled diabody version of the anti-CEA chimeric antibody cT84.66 has been evaluated for pre-surgical immunoscintigraphic detection of colorectal cancer in a study sponsored by the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT0064753) (Nelson, A. L., MAbs. 200. January- February; 2():77-83).Also included are maxibodies (bivalent scFV fused to the amino terminus of the Fc (CH2-CH3 domains) of IgG.Bispecific T-cell-engager (BiTE) antibodies are designed to transiently engage cytotoxic T-cells for lysis of selected target cells. These typically include two scFvs (one binding to CD3 on Tcells and one binding to a target antigen on the surface of a cell being targeted for destruction). In some embodiments, the two scFvs are joined by a linker. In other embodiments, the two scFvs are different regions on an antibody. The clinical activity of BiTE antibodies corroborates findings that ex vivo expanded, autologous T-cells derived from tumor tissue, or transfected with specific T-cell receptors, have shown therapeutic potential in the treatment of solid tumors. While these personalized approaches prove that T-cells alone can have considerable therapeutic activity, even in late-stage cancer, they are cumbersome to perform on a broad basis. This is different for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibodies, which facilitate generation of tumor-specific T-cell clones, and also for bi­and tri-specific antibodies that directly engage a large proportion of patients' T-cells for cancer cell lysis. The potential of global T-cell engagement for human cancer therapy by T-cell-engaging antibodies is under active investigation (Baeuerle P A, et al., Current Opinion in Molecular Therapeutics. 2009, ():22-30 and Baeuerle P A and Reinhardt C, Cancer Res. 2009, 69(2): 494-4, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).In a whole antibody, a therapeutic activity is intrinsic to the molecule since the Fc domain activates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). ADCC is a mechanism of cell-mediated immune defense whereby an effector cell of the immune system actively lyses a target cell, whose membrane-surface antigens have been bound by specific antibodies. It is one of the mechanisms through which antibodies, as part of the humoral immune response, can act to limit and contain infection. Classical ADCC is mediated by natural killer (NK) cells; macrophages, neutrophils and eosinophils can also mediate ADCC. For example, eosinophils can kill certain parasitic worms known as helminths through ADCC mediated by IgE. ADCC is part of the adaptive immune response due to its dependence on a prior antibody response.The term "Fc domain" or "Fc region" herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 99. An "Fc polypeptide" of a dimeric Fc as used herein refers to one of the two polypeptides forming the dimeric Fc domain, i.e. a polypeptide comprising C-terminal constant regions of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, capable of stable self-association. For example, an Fc polypeptide of a dimeric IgG Fc comprises an IgG CH2 and an IgG CH3 constant domain sequence. An Fc can be of the class IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2.The terms "Fc receptor" and "FcR" are used to describe a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. For example, an FcR can be a native sequence human FcR. Generally, an FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the Fc.gamma.RI, Fc.gamma.RII, and Fc.gamma.RIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. Fc.gamma.RII receptors include Fc.gamma.RIIA (an "activating receptor") and Fc.gamma.RIIB (an "inhibiting receptor"), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof. Immunoglobulins of other isotypes can also be bound by certain FcRs (see, e.g., Janeway et al., Immuno Biology: the immune system in health and disease, (Elsevier Science Ltd., NY) (4th ed., 999)). Activating receptor Fc.gamma.RIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine­based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor Fc.gamma.RIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain (reviewed in Daeron, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 5:203-2(997)). FcRs are reviewed in Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9:457-92 (99); Capel et al., Immunomethods 4:25-34 (994); and de Haas et al., J. Lab. Clin. Med. 26:330-4 (995). Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term "FcR" herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor, FcRn, which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer et al., J. Immunol. 7:587 (976); and Kim et al., J. Immunol. 24:249 (994)).Modifications in the CH2 domain can affect the binding of FcRs to the Fc. A number of amino acid modifications in the Fc region are known in the art for selectively altering the affinity of the Fc for different Fcgamma receptors. In some aspects, the Fc comprises one or more modifications to promote selective binding of Fc-gamma receptors.Exemplary mutations that alter the binding of FcRs to the Fc are listed below:S298A/E333A/K334A, S298A/E333A/K334A/K326A (Lu Y, Vernes J M, Chiang N, et al.

Therapeutic Antibody Engineering (by William R. Strohl and Lila M. Strohl, Woodhead Publishing series in Biomedicine No , ISBN 907568 37 9, October 202) lists mutations on page 283.In some embodiments an antibody described herein includes modifications to improve its ability to mediate effector function. Such modifications are known in the art and include afucosylation, or engineering of the affinity of the Fc towards an activating receptor, mainly FCGR3a for ADCC, and towards Cq for CDC.Methods of producing antibodies with little or no fucose on the Fc glycosylation site (Asn 297 EU numbering) without altering the amino acid sequence are well known in the art.In some embodiments, an antibody has antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) activity. ADCP can occur when antibodies bind to antigens on the surface of pathogenic or tumorigenic target-cells. Phagocytic cells bearing Fc receptors on their cell surface, including monocytes and macrophages, recognize and bind the Fc region of antibodies bound to target-cells. Upon binding of the Fc receptor to the antibody-bound target cell, phagocytosis of the target cell can be initiated. ADCP can be considered a form of ADCC.Antibodies of some embodiments may be useful in the clinic: diagnosis (e.g., predicting survival and rate of progression of HGSOC) and treatment.Thus, according to an aspect of the invention there is provided a method of prognosing ovarian cancer. The method comprising determining a level of MMPusing the antibodies of the invention, where a level above a predetermined threshold relative to a healthy control sample (normal sample of the same tissue, e.g., adjacent) is indicative of poor prognosis.As used herein "prognosing" or "providing prognosis" refers to a predetermined years survival and or rate of progression, where higher expression relative to normal tissue of the same type (control) is indicative of lower survival and/or higher rate of progression. It will be appreciated that high expression of MMP14 (RNA or protein) is indicative of poor prognosis.It will be appreciated that correlation of expression of MMP14 to prognosis according to the Human Protein Atlas is as follows:High expression of MMP14 entails an overall 5 year survival of 22%Low expression of MMP14 entails an overall 5 year survival of 35%In the case of high grade serous ovarian cancer, it was found that antibody coating of above 10% of the tumor cells correlate with superior progression free survival (Median progression free survival: IgG<10% - 12.51 months, IgG>10% - 35.84 months) and superior overall survival (Median survival: IgG<10% – 30.months, IgG>10% - 93.47 months).It will be appreciated that MMP14 expression and tumor coating are not necessarily correlated. High expression of MMP14 may confer a worse prognosis for patients, whereas tumor coating may confer better prognosis.According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of characterizing an MMP14+ tumor, the method comprising: determining coating of the tumor with anti MMP14 antibodies, wherein coating with said anti MMP14 antibodies indicates that the tumor is treatable with adoptive cell therapy.Coating should be determined using a label, which can be directly conjugated to the antibody (or antibodies) or by the use of an indirect label such as attached to a secondary antibody, however the skilled artisan is aware of various types of labels.

Tumor coating assay is provided in the Examples section which follows.Tumor coating can be used as a selection parameter for treatment with adoptive cell therapy, as further described hereinbelow.According to a specific embodiment, the adoptive cell therapy comprises NK cells therapy.The NK cells can be activated with lymphokines as already known to the skilled artisans, such as with IL-2 and/or IL-15.Alternatively, genetically modified NK cells can be used such as the NK cell line which is genetically modified with IL2 and CD16a, such cells are also termed as HaNKs and are readily available from ImmunityBio®.Such a treatment modality can be augmented by further treating the subject with an anti MMP 14 antibody (or antibodies) as described herein.Also provided is a method of diagnosing ovarian cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:(a) providing a utero-tubal lavage of the subject; and(b) determining in said utero-tubal lavage a presence or level of MMP14, wherein presence or level above a predetermined threshold is indicative of ovarian cancer in the subject.According to a specific embodiment, determining is by using anti MMPantibodies.The use of uterine liquid biopsies is known in the art but it wasn’t known that it includes MMP14.Barnabas et al. Molecular and Cellular Proteomics 2019 18:865-875, describes methods for obtaining utero-tubal lavage (liquid biopsy) for early detection of ovarian cancer and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.Once the sample is obtained it can be subjected to various protein detection assays such as ELISA using the antibodies to MMP14 to detect cancer excretions (i.e., MMP14) in the fluid.As used herein the term "diagnosing " refers to determining presence or absence of a pathology (e.g., a disease, disorder, condition or syndrome), classifying a pathology or a symptom, determining a severity of the pathology, monitoring pathology progression, forecasting an outcome of a pathology and/or prospects of recovery and screening of a subject for a specific disease.

According to some embodiments of the invention, screening of the subject for a specific disease is followed by substantiation of the screen results using gold standard methods such as imaging e.g., PET-CT, which can employ the labeled antibodies (e.g., radio labeled) of the invention.Such a diagnostic modality, allows early detection of s tubal carcinoma in situ, when any other symptoms are absent.Once diagnosis is made, the subject can be treated with an anti cancer agent, such as described herein.Thus, there is provided a method of treating ovarian cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:(a) diagnosing the ovarian cancer as described herein;and(b) treating the cancer.Diagnosis/prognosis may be corroborated using Gold-standard methods such as by the use of imaging (as mentioned hereinabove) and molecular markers.Once diagnosis/prognosis is made the subject is directed to treatment at the discretion of the physiologist.According to some embodiments, a preparation comprising the antibodies (polyclonal) derived from the tumor such as containing the above-mentioned sequences can be used in the treatment of cancer as described herein.According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody, polynucleotide, construct or cell as described herein, or a polyclonal preparation of antibodies from an ascites fluid of an ovarian cancer patient, thereby treating the cancer in the subject.Although the present embodiments are especially relevant to ovarian cancer, any other ascites forming cancer is contemplated herein, e.g., ovarian, breast, colon, stomach, pancreas.According to an embodiment a protein G/A affinity chromatography is used to isolate the ascites borne antibodies. These in the majority of cases are tumor reactive. In the absence of the immune-inhibitory environment of the ascites (e.g., IL-8, TGFb) and in the presence of ADCC competent cytolytic cells such as lymphokine activated NKs, these antibodies can generate an anti-tumor response.

In the case of ovarian cancer, such treatment is preferably effected s following the first surgery – when tumor burden is at its lowest and lacks a robust protective microenvironment.Alternatively, there is provided the antibody, polynucleotide, construct or cell or a polyclonal preparation of antibodies from an ascites fluid of an ovarian cancer patient as described herein for use in treating cancer in a subject in need thereof.According to a specific embodiment, the polyclonal preparation of the subject i.e., retrieved from the subject (autologous) and returnedFor example, when the patient presents with ascites, the patient undergoes paracentesis (drainage) of the fluids. Diagnosis of cancer (e.g., ovarian) is made such as described herein and/;or using gold standard methods. Up until surgery, NK cells are harvested from the peripheral blood of the patient and are activated ex-vivo (e.g., using IL-2 and/or IL-15). In other embodiments universal NK cells (allogeneic cells) are used such as HaNKs as described above. The ascites fluids recovered, undergo protein G/A affinity chromatography-based separation. Immediately following surgery, the patient receives intraperitoneally: (A) a preparation of her autologous antibodies, purified from her ascites fluids. (B) lymphokine activated natural killers.It will be appreciated that monoclonal antibodies may also be used.According to another embodiment, the preparation is allogeneic to the subject.According to a specific embodiment, the cancer is a primary tumor.According to a specific embodiment, the cancer is metastatic.According to a specific embodiment, the cancer is drug –resistant.According to a specific embodiment, the treatment as described herein with the antibody is a first line treatment.According to a specific embodiment, the treatment is following surgery, e.g., in ovarian cancer typically, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or BSO and in pancreatic cancer typically, the Whipple procedure.According to a specific embodiment, the cancer is MMP14+ and/or MMP1+.This means that cancer cells overexpress or have elevated above normal levels of MMP14 and/or MMP1. Methods of detecting MMP expression are well known in the art and can be determined at the RNA and/or protein level.The phrase "elevated above normal", as used herein, refers to expression of MMP14 and/or MMP1 that is detected at a level significantly greater than the level expected for the same type of diagnostic sample taken from a non-diseased subject or patient (i.e., one who does not have cancer, such as ovarian cancer ) of the same gender and of similar age. As further used herein, "significantly greater" refers to a statistically significant difference between the level of MMP14 and/or MMPexpression elevated above normal and the expected (normal) level of MMP14 and/or MMP1. Preferably, MMP14 and/or MMP1 expression that is elevated above normal is expression of MMP14 and/or MMP1 at a level that is at least 0% greater than the level of MMP14 and/or MMP expression otherwise expected. Where MMP14 and/or MMP1 expression is expected to be absent from a particular diagnostic sample taken from a particular subject or patient, the normal level of MMP14 and/or MMPexpression for that subject or patient is nil. Where a particular diagnostic sample taken from a particular subject or patient is expected to have a low level of constitutive MMP14 and/or MMP1 expression, that low level is the normal level of MMP14 and/or MMP1 expression for that subject or patient.A "reference sample" or "control sample", as discussed herein, is a biological sample provided from a reference or control group of apparently healthy individuals for the purpose of evaluation in vitro. Similarly, the expressions "reference concentration", "reference value", and "reference level", as used herein, refer to a value established in a reference or control group of apparently healthy individuals. Determination of the reference concentration of MMP14 and/or MMP1 or MMPand/or MMP expression can be made based on an amount or concentration which best distinguishes patient and healthy populations. By way of example, the value for MMP14 and/or MMP as determined in a control group or a control population establishes a "cut-off value" or a "reference range". A value above such cut-off or threshold, or outside the reference range at its higher end, is considered to be "elevated above normal" or "diagnostic of ovarian cancer". The reference level can be a single number, equally applicable to every subject, or the reference level can vary, according to specific subpopulations of subjects. For example, post-menopausal subjects can have a different reference level for ovarian cancer than pre-menopausal subjects. In addition, a subject with more advanced ovarian cancer (e.g., stages II-IV) can have a different reference value than one who has early stage ovarian cancer (e.g., stage I).Table 2 –MMP14+ disorders (adapted from Genecards and references therein) Disorderfibrosarcomacervical squamous cellcarcinomalarynx cancerbrain cancercolorectal cancerductal carcinoma in situovarian cancerbreast cancerserous cystadenocarcinomatongue squamous cell carcinomagallbladder cancerkeratoconusaortic aneurysm, familialabdominal,melanoma in congenitalmelanocytic nevusgastric canceresophageal cancerpancreatic cancerprostate cancerendometrial cancermelanomalung cancersquamous cell carcinoma, headand neckrhabdomyosarcomahepatocellular carcinoma MMP1+ disorders include but are not limited to ovarian cancer, gastric cancer. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, liver, or renal cancer.According to a specific embodiment, the cancer is ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is classified into two categories according to its histological and molecular characteristics, both of which should be considered as combined or separate embodiments of the present teachings.: Type I tumors consist of low grade tumors which grow in a step wise fashion, such as low grade serous ovarian carcinoma as well as ovarian carcinomas of endometroid, clear cell, mucinous and transitional histologies. These tumors comprise distinct molecular aberrations which are absent from type II tumors. For example, these include mutations involving elements of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway – such as BRAF and KRAS for the serous and mucinous tumors and mutations in PTEN and ß-catenin for tumors of endometroid histology. Conversely, Type II tumors consist of high grade neoplasms including high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), carcinosarcoma and undifferentiated ovarian carcinoma. These tumors are characterized by recurrent mutations in BRCA, BRCA2 and specifically p53 – which is nearly universally mutated (96%) in HGSOC. While type I tumors arise from the ovarian surface epithelium, it is commonly accepted that type II tumors originate from the fallopian tube epithelium.According to a specific embodiment, the ovarian cancer is high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC).According to another specific embodiment, the cancer is pancreatic cancer.Pancreatic cancer is typically divided into two general groups both of which should be considered as combined or separate embodiments of the present teachings. The vast majority of cases (about 95%) occur in the part of the pancreas that produces digestive enzymes, known as the exocrine component. Several subtypes of exocrine pancreatic cancers are described, but their diagnosis and treatment have much in common. The small minority of cancers that arise in the hormone-producing (endocrine) tissue of the pancreas have different clinical characteristics and are called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, sometimes abbreviated as "PanNETs".The term "treating" refers to inhibiting, preventing or arresting the development of a pathology (e.g., cancer) and/or causing the reduction, remission, or regression of a pathology. Those of skill in the art will understand that various methodologies and assays can be used to assess the development of a pathology, and similarly, various methodologies and assays may be used to assess the reduction, remission or regression of a pathology.

As used herein, the term "preventing" refers to keeping a disease, disorder or condition from occurring in a subject who may be at risk for the disease, but has not yet been diagnosed as having the disease.As used herein, the term "subject" includes mammals, preferably human beings at any age which suffer from the pathology. Preferably, this term encompasses individuals who are at risk to develop the pathology. According to a specific embodiment, the subject is a female suffering from ovarian cancer.The antibodies of some embodiments of the invention can be administered to an organism per se, or in a pharmaceutical composition where it is mixed with suitable carriers or excipients.Thus, according to an aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, cell, polynucleotide, construct as described herein.As used herein a "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a preparation of one or more of the active ingredients described herein with other chemical components such as physiologically suitable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism.Herein the term "active ingredient" refers to the antibody, cell, polynucleotide, construct accountable for the biological effect.Hereinafter, the phrases "physiologically acceptable carrier" and "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" which may be interchangeably used refer to a carrier or a diluent that does not cause significant irritation to an organism and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the administered compound. An adjuvant is included under these phrases.Herein the term "excipient" refers to an inert substance added to a pharmaceutical composition to further facilitate administration of an active ingredient. Examples, without limitation, of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils and polyethylene glycols.Techniques for formulation and administration of drugs may be found in "Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences," Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, latest edition, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Suitable routes of administration may, for example, include oral, rectal, transmucosal, especially transnasal, intestinal or parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous and intramedullary injections as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intracardiac, e.g., into the right or left ventricular cavity, into the common coronary artery, intravenous, inrtaperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections.Conventional approaches for drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) include: neurosurgical strategies (e.g., intracerebral injection or intracerebroventricular infusion); molecular manipulation of the agent (e.g., production of a chimeric fusion protein that comprises a transport peptide that has an affinity for an endothelial cell surface molecule in combination with an agent that is itself incapable of crossing the BBB) in an attempt to exploit one of the endogenous transport pathways of the BBB; pharmacological strategies designed to increase the lipid solubility of an agent (e.g., conjugation of water-soluble agents to lipid or cholesterol carriers); and the transitory disruption of the integrity of the BBB by hyperosmotic disruption (resulting from the infusion of a mannitol solution into the carotid artery or the use of a biologically active agent such as an angiotensin peptide). However, each of these strategies has limitations, such as the inherent risks associated with an invasive surgical procedure, a size limitation imposed by a limitation inherent in the endogenous transport systems, potentially undesirable biological side effects associated with the systemic administration of a chimeric molecule comprised of a carrier motif that could be active outside of the CNS, and the possible risk of brain damage within regions of the brain where the BBB is disrupted, which renders it a suboptimal delivery method.Alternately, one may administer the pharmaceutical composition in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection of the pharmaceutical composition directly into a tissue region of a patient.Pharmaceutical compositions of some embodiments of the invention may be manufactured by processes well known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with some embodiments of the invention thus may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries, which facilitate processing of the active ingredients into preparations which, can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.For injection, the active ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank’s solution, Ringer’s solution, or physiological salt buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated readily by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the pharmaceutical composition to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Pharmacological preparations for oral use can be made using a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl ­cellulose, sodium carbomethylcellulose; and/or physiologically acceptable polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.Pharmaceutical compositions which can be used orally, include push-fit capsules made of gelatin as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules may contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active ingredients may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for the chosen route of administration.For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.For administration by nasal inhalation, the active ingredients for use according to some embodiments of the invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from a pressurized pack or a nebulizer with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichloro- tetrafluoroethane or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, e.g., gelatin for use in a dispenser may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be formulated for parenteral administration, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multidose containers with optionally, an added preservative. The compositions may be suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active preparation in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active ingredients may be prepared as appropriate oily or water based injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acids esters such as ethyl oleate, triglycerides or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances, which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the active ingredients to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.

Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water based solution, before use.The pharmaceutical composition of some embodiments of the invention may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, using, e.g., conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in context of some embodiments of the invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an amount effective to achieve the intended purpose. More specifically, a therapeutically effective amount means an amount of active ingredients (antibody, cell, polynucleotide, construct) effective to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of a disorder (e.g., cancer) or prolong the survival of the subject being treated.Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein.For any preparation used in the methods of the invention, the therapeutically effective amount or dose can be estimated initially from in vitro and cell culture assays. For example, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a desired concentration or titer. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the active ingredients described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in vitro, in cell cultures or experimental animals. The data obtained from these in vitro and cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage may vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See e.g., Fingl, et al., 975, in "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics", Ch. p.).Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide effective tissue levels of the active ingredient are sufficient to induce or suppress the biological effect (minimal effective concentration, MEC). The MEC will vary for each preparation, but can be estimated from in vitro data. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. Detection assays can be used to determine plasma concentrations.

Depending on the severity and responsiveness of the condition to be treated, dosing can be of a single or a plurality of administrations, with course of treatment lasting from several days to several weeks or until cure is effected or diminution of the disease state is achieved.The amount of a composition to be administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician, etc.Compositions of some embodiments of the invention may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device, such as an FDA approved kit, which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may, for example, comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. The pack or dispenser may also be accommodated by a notice associated with the container in a form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals, which notice is reflective of approval by the agency of the form of the compositions or human or veterinary administration. Such notice, for example, may be of labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs or of an approved product insert. Compositions comprising a preparation of the invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition, as is further detailed above.Treatment may be augmented by the use of other treatment modules such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy (other than the claimed antibodies) or surgery.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Flow cytometric analysis and single cell sorting of tumor infiltrating ASCs Fresh HGSOC primary tumors retrieved from the operating theatre were immediately dissociated to a single cell suspension in growth medium (DMEM, 10% foetal bovine serum, 1X MEM-Eagle non essential amino acids, 2mM glutamine, 1:100 Pen-Strep solution) and placed on ice. Cells were washed in PBS and stained with the following antibodies: Alexa fluor 700 conjugated anti-human CD19 (Biolegend, clone: HIB19), PerCP/Cy5.5 conjugated anti-human CD38 (Biolegend, Clone: HIT2), APC conjugated anti-human IgG1 FC region (RD Systems, Clone: #97924), PE conjugated anti-human IgM (Biolegend, Clone: MHM-88) and Alexa fluor 488 conjugated anti­human IgK (Biolegend, Clone: MHK-49). Samples were stained on ice for minutes, washed and acquired using a Cytoflex flow cytometer and analysed using FlowJo 10.5.3. For future immunoglobulin sequencing purposes, tumor infiltrating CD19+, CD38++, IgM-, IgG1+, IgK+ ASCs originating from the primary tumors of HGSOC patients also underwent single cell sorting into 96 well PCR plates (Eppendorf) containing 4ul per well of mRNA preserving lysis buffer (in RNAse free water, 10% DTT 0.1M v/v, 5% PBS X10 v/v, 7.5% RNasin ribonuclease inhibitor v/v, cat: N2615). Sorted plates were immediately frozen to -80C in order to preserve mRNA integrity. Single cell immunoglobulin sequencing of tumor infiltrating ASCs Single cell sorted tumor infiltrating ACSs were reverse transcribed and underwent nested PCR amplification and sequencing of their heavy and light chain transcripts as previously described (Tiller et al, Efficient generation of monoclonal antibodies from single human B cells by single cell RT-PCR and expression vector cloning. J Immunol Methods, 2008) Upon collection of all transcripts, data analysis was performed as detailed below. Determination of clonality and reconstruction of lineage trees Ig Fasta sequences were aligned against the IMGT human heavy chain gene database (downloaded at Dec. 2019) and light chain gene database (downloaded at Feb. 2017) using NCBI IgBlast (version 1.14.0) (Ye et al., 2013). Post processing of IgBlast output, and clonal clustering were performed using Change-O v0.4.(https://changeo.readthedocs.io ) (Gupta et al., 2015), Alakazam v0.3.(https://alakazam.readthedocs .), SHazaM v0.2.3 (https://shazam.readthedocs.io ), and custom scripts within the R statistical computing environment, as follows. V(D)J sequences were assigned to clonal groups by partitioning sequences based on identity of IGHV gene annotations, IGHJ gene annotations, and junction region lengths. Within these groups, sequences differing from one another by a distance of more than nucleotides between the V genes were defined as separate clones. The clonal distance threshold was determined by manual inspection using heatmaps of V genes hamming distance. Full-length germline sequences were reconstructed for each clonal cluster with D segment and N/P regions masked (replaced with Ns), with any ambiguous gene assignments within clonal groups resolved by the majority rule.

Lineage trees were constructed for each clone having at least two unique sequences using PHYLIP (v3.697) (Felsenstein, 2005) and Alakazam. In selected cases in which identical V-J configurations and junction lengths were identical between different sequences for both the heavy and light chains, yet more than 15 nucleotides between the V genes differed, members were manually clustered into single clones albeit a common ancestry could not be ascertained. Such relations appear with a dashed connecting line in lineage trees. Additionally, multiple identical sequences were referred to as a single expanded clone. Selection quantification was calculated using BASELINe’s local test (Yaari et al., 2012). Selection of monoclonal antibody candidates, cloning and expression ASCs immunoglobulin transcripts were chosen for cloning and expression on the basis of several criteria. These included: relation of the candidate to an expanded clone, occurrence of multiple identical candidates within the clone, candidate harbors a high load of somatic hypermutations. Following selection of antibody candidates, constructs containing the heavy and light chain variable regions together with additional expression vector homologous nucleotides both upstream and downstream were ordered as gBlocks from IDT and cloned into human IgG1 & IgK expression vectors via the restriction free method. Cloning was performed into human IgG1 and IgK expression vectors (AddGene, AbVec2.0-IGHG1, AbVec1.1-IGKC) using Phusion High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (NEB, cat: M0530L) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The template plasmids were then selectively degraded using the DpnI restriction enzyme (NEB, cat: R0176L) for 16 hours at 37°C. Cloned vectors were transformed into DH5a competent bacteria using the heat shock technique (42C for 90s). Plasmid containing bacteria were selected on the basis of vector-acquired ampicillin resistance. After plating, monoclonal bacterial colonies underwent PCR and sequencing validation of their transformed plasmids. Successfully transformed colonies were then expanded and harvested using Qiagen’s plasmid purification kit. Purified vectors were transfected into HEK293t cells in 150mm tissue culture plates (Corning) at 12.5ug/DNA per chain using linear 25kDa polyethyleneimine (at a DNA:PEI mass ratio of 1:2) and grown in serum free media for 5 days. Supernatants were filtered through a 0.2µm strainer and reacted with protein G Sepharose beads (17-0618-05, Cytiva/GE) on a tilt table, overnight in 4°C. Beads were then pulled down, washed in PBS and eluted using IgG elution buffer (21004, ThermoFisher) into TRIS pH 9 1M. The eluate was then dialyzed to PBS overnight and its final concentration measured using Nanodrop. Monolayer ELISA / Immunofluorescence Staining Cell lines of interest were grown on 96 well plates / chamber slides, fixed with 4% PFA, washed with PBS, blocked with 1% BSA for 90 minutes, stained with the antibodies of interest at a concentration of 500nM overnight in 4°C - followed by staining with an Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated secondary antibody and DAPI (1:5000). For monolayer ELISA, DAPI normalized Alexa Fluor 488 signal was used to quantify the staining per well using a Synergy HTX plate reader (Biotek). For quantification of immunofluorescence staining, slides were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope. The mean fluorescence signal was calculated per cell using QuPath v0.2.0-m9. ELISA ELISA reactions were carried out using flat-bottom MaxiSorp™ 96-well plates (Invitrogen). Antigen coating was performed in PBS at 100µl per well and left overnight at 4°C. For standard dose response ELISA assays, antigens were plated at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. For comparative ELISA assays with multiple antigen targets, antigens were plated at a constant molar concentration of 50nM. The plates were washed 5 times with washing buffer (1× PBS with 0.05% Tween-20 (Sigma- Aldrich)) and incubated with 100µl blocking buffer (1× PBS with 1% BSA) for 1h at room temperature. The blocking solution was subsequently replaced by serial dilutions of either mono- or polyclonal antibodies or serum samples for 2.5h at RT. For standard dose response ELISA assays, antibodies were introduced over a range of dilutions whereas for ELISA screens, antibodies were introduced at 100nM. Serum samples were assayed at a dilution of 1:100. Plates were washed 5 times with washing buffer and then incubated with anti-human IgG secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (Jackson Immuno Research) in PBS at a 1:5,0dilution. After washing the plates for additional 5 times, the plates were developed using TMB (Thermo Fisher) and absorbance was measured at 630nm with an ELISA microplate reader (Synergy HTX plate reader, Biotek).

Polyreactivity and Hep-2 ELISA ELISA assays for evaluating antibody polyreactivity were performed as previously described (Prigent et al, Scarcity of autoreactive human blood IgA + memory B cells, Eur J Immunol, 2016). Biolayer interferometry Analysis of the kinetic binding constants of mAb T13 to MMP14 was performed using the Octet QKe platform. Experiments were conducted at 30°C with shaking at 1,000 rpm. Briefly, biosensors check of the anti-human Fc capture (AHC) biosensors was performed for 1 minute in PBS. Antibody loading of mAb T13 was performed at an optimized pre-calibrated concentration of 12.5nM for 5 minutes in PBS. Loaded sensors were then exposed to TNC buffer (50mM Tris pH 8, 150mM NaCl, 5mM CaCl2) for 30 seconds and 1 minute in two consecutive wells. Next, MMPassociation was performed over a range of concentrations (30nM-2000nM), in TNC buffer for 30 minutes. Finally, antigen dissociation was performed in TNC buffer for minutes. Data processing, construction of a response model and curve fitting was accomplished using the Fortebio Octet Data analysis software. Western blots Lysates for western blot experiments were made from cell lines and patient derived tumor specimens. Cell lines grown to confluence and minced tumor specimens were emulsified in 500ul of RIPA buffer (20mM Tris pH 7.4, 137mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholate, 1% triton X-100, 2mM EDTA pH 8, 1mM PMSF, 20uM Leupeptin, in DDW) and protease inhibitor (1:100). Mixture was vortexed, agitated for 1 hour at 4°C and centrifuged. Supernatants were separated and flash frozen. Prior to the experiment, the lysates protein concentration was measured in triplicates using a BCA kit (ThemoFisher Scientific). Samples containing 25ug of protein were mixed with sample buffer in the presence of DTT, heated to 95°C for minutes and introduced to 15-well gradient gels (Bio-Rad). The gel content was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using the rapid transfer method. Membranes were blocked in blocking buffer (5% BSA, 0.1% tween in PBS) for 1 hour, in room temperature on a tilt table. The membranes were exposed to the appropriate primary antibodies at 1ug/ml in 5% BSA in PBS, overnight in 4°C on a tilt table. The day after, membranes were washed 3 times in wash buffer (0.1% tween in PBS), exposed to the appropriate isotype targeting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 1:5000 for 1 hour in room temperature, washed 3 times and developed using ECL. Membranes were acquired using the ChemiDoc imaging system (Bio-Rad). Images were analysed using the Image Lab 6.0.1 software (Bio-Rad). MMP14 overexpression assay In this assay K562 cells were transfected with an MMP14:Cherry expression vector using the TransIT-X2 transfection reagent (Mirus Bio) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 0.5M K562 cells were plated in 6 well plates in 2.5ml of growth medium (DMEM, 10% foetal bovine serum, 1X MEM-Eagle non essential amino acids, 2mM glutamine, 1:100 Pen-Strep solution) per well. For each condition, in a separate tube, 2.5ug of the MMP14:Cherry vector and 7.5ul of the TransIT-X2 transfection reagent were mixed in 250ul of Opti-MEM I reduced serum medium (Gibco) and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Following incubation, the mixture was added to the cells in a drop-wise manner. A mock transfection without the MMP14:Cherry construct was performed in parallel as a negative control. Following a 48 hours incubation period, the cells were stained with mAb T13 at a concentration of 500nM for 45 minutes on ice, washed, stained with an Alexa fluor 488 conjugated anti human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch) for 30 minutes on ice, washed and analysed using a Cytoflex flow cytometer. Phagocytosis assays (ADCP) Antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) was assessed by the measurement of the uptake of antibody-opsonized, antigen-coated fluorescent beads by the THP1 monocytic cell line. Briefly, 2µg of biotinylated MMP14 protein was used to saturate the binding sites of 0.5mg 1µm fluorescent NeutrAvidin beads (Invitrogen). Excess antigen was removed by washing the beads, which were then blocked with 1% BSA. Next, the beads were washed and incubated with antibodies at final concentrations of 0.5µM (for monoclonal antibodies) or 1µM (for polyclonal antibodies) for 2h at 37°C. Following opsonization, beads were washed, and unbound antibodies were removed. The beads were then either stained for IgG to confirm IgG coating or incubated with phagocytotic cells. For the phagocytosis assay, THP-1 cells were added, and the cells were incubated for 1h at 37°C to allow phagocytosis after which the extent of phagocytosis was measured via flow cytometry (CytoFLEX). For IgG staining purposes, the beads were incubated with anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Immuno Research) in blocking buffer at a 1:100 dilution for minutes on ice. The beads were then washed, and the IgG was measured using the CytoFLEX flow cytometer. Antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays ADCC assays were performed using the xCelligence RTCA DP platform. Briefly, RTCA DP plates were filled with media and measured for background values. Then, OVCAR3 cells were plated at an optimized quantity of 20K cells per well on RTCA DP plates. OVCAR3 cells proliferation during the seeding phase was monitored via their cell index value. 24 hours after seeding, the cells were exposed to monoclonal polyclonal antibodies at 500nM for 1 hour in PBS and complemented with lymphokine activated donor natural killer cells at various effector to target (E:T) ratios. Upon introduction of the effector cells, the viability of the OVCAR3 tumor cell population was monitored over a 24-72 hour period. Prior to the ADCC assay, isolation of NK cells from the peripheral blood of healthy donors was performed using the EasySep human NK cell enrichment kit (STEMCELL). NK cells were incubated in growth media in the presence of 500IU/ml of human recombinant IL-overnight to achieve their activation. Protein microarray ProtoArray Human Protein Microarray (ThermoFisher Scientific) were used per the manufacturer’s instructions. The array was exposed to the primary antibodies (T13 & T15) at a concentration of 100nM. Phage display enrichment assay and peptide validation ELISA Antibodies were incubated with a phage library which randomly expressed nine order of magnitudes of short 8-14 amino acid peptides. Phages expressing peptides that resembled segments of the original binding motifs were captured by the antibodies, while phages expressing nonreactive peptides were washed out. The enriched phages were then sequenced using next generation sequencing and so the number of NGS reads per a given peptide sequence is proportional to the enrichment of the phage which expressed it. The top 15 peptides derived of three parallel replicate experiments per antibody and their relative share of NGS reads were recorded. Post processing of the data included alignment of each of the top peptide hits to the amino acid sequence of the catalytic domain of MMP14. When plotted (example: Figs. 7A- E) 11a-e, bars represent a measure of peptide enrichment. The heatmap below the bar plot, labelled "ACS" (Average Conservation Score) represents the average degree of compatibility of all given aligned amino acids to a specific position in the sequence of MMP14. The compatibility score is calculated and binned according to the Gonnet PAM250 matrix and is used to determine amino acid conservation by the Clustal Omega multiple sequence alignment algorithm. Principally, four scores are available: – which denotes complete identity between the two aligned amino acids. 2 – which represents an overall high degree of similarity between the two amino acids. 1 – which indicates a modest degree of similarity – and 0 – which states that the amino acids aligned at a given position are completely different. In summary, the ACS score provides a measure of peptide compatibility to the region to which it was aligned to. We selected regions of interest in the sequence of MMP14 to which peptides were both enriched and showed the highest degree of compatibility. Validation ELISA involved plating the antibodies and exposing them to different concentrations of test and control peptides. Peptides were ordered from GenScript, carried an N terminus linker and a biotin, through which the assay was developed using Sterptavidin-HRP.

EXAMPLE 1 HGSOC infiltrating ASC-derived monoclonal antibodies are tumor reactive To study the nature of the antibodies found to coat the tumor in HGSOC, antibodies originating from highly mutated and expanded ASC clones were cloned and expressed as monoclonal antibodies. To reveal the surface targets of these patient- derived monoclonal antibodies, their binding capacity to the OVCAR3 cell line was examined. Specifically, the magnitude of antibody binding per single cell was measured within the cultured monolayer using patient-derived monoclonal antibodies. antibodies were found that showed reactivity to OVCAR3 cells, suggesting that they target tumor surface antigens (Figure 1A). Furthermore, the monoclonal antibodies primarily interacted with ovarian carcinoma cell lines (OVCAR3 and 4) and a pancreatic cancer cell line, and to a lesser extent with cells derived from other organs, suggesting specificity to both ovarian and pancreatic tumors presumably through shared surface target antigens (Figure 1B).

EXAMPLE 2 Ascites-derived antibodies and monoclonal antibodies derived therefrom bind MMP 1 4 Ovarian and pancreatic cancers are highly desmoplastic (fibrotic) and are constantly subjected to remodeling of their microenvironments by matrix proteases. MMPs were previously demonstrated to trigger the generation of autoreactive antibodies in autoimmune diseases and viral infection suggesting that they may also provoke an immune response in cancer [Wang, E. Y. et al. Diverse Functional Autoantibodies in Patients with COVID-9. medRxiv: the preprint server for health sciences (2020) doi:0.0/2020.2.0.20247205.]. Furthermore, it was suggested that high levels of antigen can lead to a break of tolerance and generation of autoantibodies in cancer, and since MMPs are highly expressed in HGSOC [Cathcart, J. M. et al. Interleukin- increases matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) levels via down-regulation of p53 to drive cancer progression. Oncotarget 7 , 607–620 (206).] they can potentially induce generation of autoantibodies (Figure 2A-C).Therefore, the binding capacity of polyclonal IgGs derived from ascites fluids of 25 patients to 6 recombinant MMPs, and additional 3 ECM-associated targets was evaluated. In this setting, BSA was used as a negative control antigen, and p53, which elicits an antibody response in HGSOC, was used as a positive control target. ELISA revealed strong and reproducible antibody reactivity against MMP14 in all of the patients, whereas reactivity to other MMPs was also evident, but to a lesser extent (Figure 3A). Serum-derived IgGs obtained from healthy individuals did not show binding to MMP14 in this assay (Figure 3B).Evaluation of the binding of monoclonal antibodies to ECM-remodeling enzymes by ELISA revealed several mAbs that reproducibly bound to MMP14, with some moderate cross-reactivity with MMP (Figure 4A). Strikingly, in 3/4 patients, monoclonal antibodies that bound MMP14 with various degrees of effectiveness and specificity were detected, confirming the analysis using polyclonal patient-derived antibodies. In order to further examine the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies, the binding activity of the antibodies was tested in different dilutions by ELISA. This analysis showed dose-dependent antibody binding to MMP14 and MMP (Figure 4B).

EXAMPLE 3 HGSOC derived monoclonal antibodies bind MMP and MMP 1 4 and are not poly-reactive To examine if these antibodies are reactive with many types of antigens (polyreactive) their binding to structurally unrelated antigens was tested, including insulin, double ­stranded DNA, and lipopolysaccharide by ELISA. Typically, antibodies that bind at least two members of this defined set of antigens are considered polyreactive6. ED38, a well-characterized polyreactive antibody was used as a positive control, and GD0 an antibody that binds an unrelated target (Junin virus GP) was used as a negative control. Minimal binding of the monoclonal antibodies to the unrelated targets was detected even at high antibody concentrations , whereas ED38 was highly reactive in this assay (Figure 5A). Similar results were obtained by testing binding to human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cell lysates, a commonly used assay to determine antibody polyreactivity and for diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (Figure 5B). To further examine cross-reactivity and to identify additional potential surface targets, the binding of a selected antibody (T3) to a microarray that carries 9000 human protein fragments was tested. This analysis did not reveal additional surface molecules that can serve as a target for the monoclonal antibodies on tumor cells (Figures 5B-C).Hence it can be concluded that tumor-reactive antibodies bind MMP14 and MMP without robust polyreactive binding to unrelated antigens.Since MMP is not expressed in HGSOC, subsequent analyses were focused on MMP14. To provide additional evidence for specific binding, T3 was tested in multiple MMP14 binding assays. Using the Octet QKe platform, it was found that the KD value of T3 was 40±45nM (R2 = 99.34%) (Figure 6A). To provide additional evidence for MMP14 binding, a Western blot analysis was performed with Tantibody on 4 different cell lines of epithelial, mesenchymal and neural crest origin, representing a wide variety of cell types and organs. Bands of approximately 63 kDa were detected in this assay, compatible with the size of MMP14 and an additional ~kDa band appeared as well, which coincides with a known degradation product of MMP14 (Figure 6B). Finally, to verify that the antibody binds native MMP14, it was expressed together with mCherry in K562 cells that lack endogenous MMP14. Whereas the antibody did not show binding to mCherry-negative cells, mCherry- positive cells showed clear antibody binding by flow cytometric analysis (Figure 6C).

Overall, these results demonstrate that MMP14 is a major target for autoantibodies in HGSOC patients.

EXAMPLE 4 Epitope mapping of mAbs T2 and T3 reveals MMP 1 4’s I-A loop as their target epitope Next, the present inventors investigated which epitope in the catalytic domain of MMP14 elicited this immune response. For this purpose, a phage display enrichment assay was utilized with 4 monoclonal antibodies – the MMP14 binding T& T3 and the MMP14 nonreactive T4 & T5 as controls. No shared peptides were enriched for both the control and test antibodies. Notably, in the case of T2 & T3, the top 3 peptides alone accounted for 68% and 53% of all the analysed reads for antibodies T3 and T2, respectively, and the majority of enriched peptides for these antibodies aligned to two distinct regions of interest (ROIs) in the catalytic core of MMP14 (Figures 7A-B). The first ROI (ROI-) aligned to the I-A loop of MMP14, a region demarcated between the first beta strand and first alpha helix of the catalytic structure. The second ROI (ROI-2) represents a small alpha helix in the II-III loop, a region between the second and third beta strands. This alpha helix is an MMPexclusive architecture, as this region does not appear in the majority of the MMP family. Of note, both regions of interest in the sequence of MMP14 are poorly conserved in MMP9, MMP7 and MMP3 – targets which fail to bind both antibodies. A consequent peptide ELISA confirmed that both T2 and T3 successfully bound the ROI- peptide, with T3 presenting superior affinity to that of T2, a pattern previously observed with the recombinant form of MMP14. Both antibodies failed to bind the ROI-2 peptide and the control peptide. It was hence suggested that the failure of the ROI-2 to bind the antibodies stem from its linear configuration as opposed to its helical state under native folding conditions (Figure 7C). Independently, the docking structure of T3 to the catalytic domain of MMP14 was predicted. The structure itself was predicted using the ABpredict algorithm. Multiple iterations of structure prediction demonstrated low structural variance between predictions. Proposed docking structures of T3 prediction to the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MMP14 were proposed by the PatchDock algorithm. Finally, a lead docking configuration was chosen based on parameters of docking stability (Figure 7D).

Remarkably, the docking epitopes found using the phage display assay and the docking interface determined by the in-silico prediction markedly overlap. This is visible in Figures 7D-E. Upon mapping all molecular interactions up to the length of 3.5? between MMP14 and the CDRs, 7 MMP14 residues were identified which are shared by both datasets, and form tight interactions with all the heavy chain CDRs and the light chain CDR3. According to the model, these residues interact with residues located in these CDRs. Out of which, 8 are shared with the germline configuration of T3 whereas 4 residues: heavy chain: S3K, A50R, T53D, and light chain N93P are mutated. It was therefore suggested that reversion of these particular mutations to their germline state would result in a marked loss of affinity towards MMP14.

EXAMPLE 5 Acquisition of somatic hypermutations contributes to antibody tumor reactivity. B cell central tolerance is established during development of mature B cells in the bone marrow (BM) where autoreactive clones are eliminated 6. Nonetheless, 5% of the B cells that emerge from the BM are autoreactive cells that enter the circulation, but typically do not cause an apparent autoimmune disease [Wardemann, H. et al. Predominant autoantibody production by early human B cell precursors. Science 30, 374–377 (2003).]. An additional pathway for the generation of autoreactive antibodies is through insertion of SHM into immunoglobulin genes of antibodies that do not bind a self-target in their original germline version. To examine whether the binding of patient derived anti-MMP14 monoclonal antibodies depended on SHM, parental monoclonal antibody configurations were by reverting their sequence to their germline versions. ELISA revealed three patient-derived monoclonal antibodies (T3, T3, T2) that lost MMP14 binding after removal of SHMs, suggesting that they acquired effective tumor reactivity during the antibody affinity maturation process (Figure 8A). Acquisition of SHMs appears to confer a stepwise increase in affinity, as the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) versions of T2 and T3, which harbor only the shared mutations between the two antibodies, produce superior binding to the germline versions albeit a lesser affinity compared to T2 and T3 themselves (Figure 8B). An additional three mAbs (T8, T10, T11) failed to show reduced binding activity when their SHM were removed, suggesting that they were autoreactive before they encountered a cognate antigen (Figure 8A).Similarly, T3, T2, and T3 binding to OVCAR3 was significantly reduced in the absence of SHM, whereas mutations did not contribute to tumor binding of T8, T10 and T11 antibodies. (Figure 8C). Thus, it was concluded that tumor-binding antibodies are divided into two classes: Antibodies were termed class I which depends on the acquisition of SHM for effective tumor reactivity, while the term class II was used to denote antibodies arising from pre-existing autoreactive precursors.
