- An antibody fragment comprises a portion of an antibody, e.g., Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, F(ab)2, variable fragment (Fv), domain antibody (dAb), or single chain variable fragment (scFv).
- a functional antibody fragment binds to the same antigen as that recognized by the intact (e.g., full-length) antibody.
- the terms “antibody fragment” or “functional fragment” also include isolated fragments consisting of the variable regions, such as the “Fv” fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains or recombinant single chain polypeptide molecules in which light and heavy variable regions are connected by a peptide linker (“scFv proteins”).
- an antibody fragment does not include portions of antibodies without antigen binding activity, such as Fc fragments or single amino acid residues.
- Exemplary antibody molecules include full-length antibodies and antibody fragments, e.g., dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab’, and F(ab’)2 fragments, and single chain variable fragments (scFvs).
- the term “antibody molecule” also encompasses whole or antigen binding fragments of domain, or single domain, antibodies, which can also be referred to as “sdAb” or “VHH.” Domain antibodies comprise either VH or VL that can act as stand-alone, antibody fragments. Additionally, domain antibodies include heavy-chain-only antibodies (HCAbs).

- An antibody molecule can comprise a functional fragment of a light chain variable region and a functional fragment of a heavy chain variable region, or heavy and light chains may be fused together into a single polypeptide.
- antigens can be derived from recombinant or genomic DNA. A skilled artisan will understand that any DNA, which comprises a nucleotide sequences or a partial nucleotide sequence encoding a protein that elicits an immune response therefore encodes an “antigen” as that term is used herein. Furthermore, one skilled in the art will understand that an antigen need not be encoded solely by a full length nucleotide sequence of a gene.
- an antigen need not be encoded by a “gene” at all. It is readily apparent that an antigen can be generated synthesized or can be derived from a biological sample. Such a biological sample can include, but is not limited to a tissue sample, a tumor sample, a cell or a biological fluid. As used herein, the term “autologous” is meant to refer to any material, such as a cell, derived from a subject to which it is later to be re-introduced into the same subject.
- the term “allogeneic” is meant to refer to material, such as a cell, derived from one subject that is later introduced into a different subject.

- the polypeptide is a chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”).
- a “chimeric antigen receptor” or “CAR” as used herein refers to an antigen-binding domain that is fused to an intracellular signaling domain capable of activating or stimulating an immune cell.
- the CAR's extracellular binding domain is composed of a single chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from fusing the variable heavy and light regions of a murine or humanized monoclonal antibody.
- scFvs may be used that are derived from Fab's (instead of from an antibody, e.g., obtained from Fab libraries). In various embodiments, this scFv is fused to a transmembrane domain and then to an intracellular signaling domain.
- the antigen binding domain can be any molecule that can bind to the to target on the cell.
- the antigen binding domain of a CAR can be an antibody, a scFv antibody, an antigen binding domain, an ankyrin repeat (e.g. DARPIN), a VHH domain antibody, a nanobody, single domain antibody, a FN3 domain, or any combination thereof.
- a CAR includes those that solely provide CD3 ⁇ signals upon antigen binding.
- the CAR includes those that provide both costimulation (e.g. CD28 or CD137) and activation (CD3 ⁇ ).
- the CARs include those that provide multiple costimulation (e.g.
- the CAR is selected to have high affinity or avidity for the antigen.
- the CAR comprises the 4-1BB domain as well.
- the terms “comprising” (and any form of comprising, such as “comprise”, “comprises”, and “comprised”), “having” (and any form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of including, such as “includes” and “include”), or “containing” (and any form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”), are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps.
- any step or composition that uses the transitional phrase of “comprise” or “comprising” can also be said to describe the same with the transitional phase of “consisting of” or “consists.” 10 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT
- the term “contacting” means bringing together of two elements in an in vitro system or an in vivo system.
- “contacting” a vector with a cell or with an individual or patient or cell includes the administration of the vector to an individual or patient, such as a human, as well as, for example, introducing a compound into a sample containing a cellular or purified preparation containing the cell.
- Encoding refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (i.e., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom.
- a gene encodes a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system.
- Both the coding strand, the nucleotide sequence of which is identical to the mRNA sequence and is usually provided in sequence listings, and the non-coding strand, used as the template for transcription of a gene or cDNA, can be referred to as encoding the protein or other product of that gene or cDNA.

- Example 1 Construction of VSV-G:affinity binding polypeptide constructs Pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring an affinity binding polypeptide in the viral glycoprotein were designed.
- a VSV-G protein was modified to contain a Strep Tag II polypeptide at various locations at or near the N-terminus of the VSG-G protein (SEQ ID NO: 70, SEQ ID NO: 71, SEQ ID NO: 72), or within the body of the VSV-G protein (SEQ ID NO: 73).
- the Strep Tag II polypeptide is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- Each construct was designed to have the Strep Tag II polypeptide fused either directly to the VSV-G polypeptide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 70, 71, 72, and 73) or to be linked via a short linker polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 132, SEQ ID NO: 133, SEQ ID NO: 167, and SEQ ID NO: 168).
- the VSV-G construct represented by SEQ ID NO: 73 was structurally designed such that the affinity binding polypeptide would be solvent exposed and thus the affinity binding polypeptide would be accessible for affinity based purification.
- a CD7 targeting moiety polypeptide as provided for herein was modified to contain a Strep Tag II polypeptide at the N-terminus of the targeting moiety (SEQ ID NO: 129, SEQ ID NO: 179, SEQ ID NO: 180, and SEQ ID NO: 181), within the scFv linker portion (SEQ ID NO: 130, SEQ ID NO: 182, SEQ ID NO: 183, and SEQ ID NO: 184), or within the IgG hinge region (SEQ ID NO: 131, SEQ ID NO: 185, SEQ ID NO: 186, and SEQ ID NO: 187) (FIG.1).
- the Strep Tag II polypeptide is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- Each construct was designed to have the Strep Tag II polypeptide fused either directly to the targeting moiety or to be linked via a short linker polypeptide.
- Example 3 Assessment of affinity binding polypeptide on virus function To determine the effect of the affinity binding polypeptide on viral function, viral constructs harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the VSV-G protein or in the targeting moiety were purified via traditional viral purification techniques and assessed. VSV-G proteins constructs included those of Example 1 above. Targeting moiety constructs included those of Example 2 above. The constructs were evaluated for their capability to deliver a CD20 CAR construct (CAR20) to SupT1 cells.
- CAR20 CD20 CAR construct
- SupT1 cells were seeded in 96-well tissue culture plates with 25,000 cells per well in RPMI+10% FBS culture media. Concentrated lentiviral suspensions for each construct were diluted in a 3-fold dilution series in culture media. Diluted viral suspensions were then added to SupT1 cells in respective wells. Culture media was replaced 6 hours later. The treated SupT1 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry on days 4 or 7 after transduction. On each day of analysis, cells were stained with a cell viability marker to identify live cells and an anti-CAR20 antibody to identify CAR20 positive cells.
- viral constructs harboring affinity binding polypeptides in the targeting moiety of the construct had a similar CAR20 transduction profile as compared to viral constructs having no affinity tag and had overlapping particle:infectivity (P:TU) ratios as compared to the untagged constructs.
- Viral constructs harboring affinity binding polypeptides in the glycoprotein were more variable.
- Constructs corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 70 and SEQ ID NO: 72 had a similar CAR20 transduction profile as compared to viral constructs having no affinity tag and had overlapping P:TU ratios as compared to the untagged constructs.
- the P:TU did not necessarily correspond to the Strep Tag II position.
- Strep Tag II polypeptide position in SEQ ID NO: 71 is near the N-terminus of the VSV-G protein 214 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT and only one amino acid shift as compared to SEQ ID NO: 70, and yet the P:TU ratios for these two constructs were not overlapping.
- the data from the example shows that incorporation of an affinity binding polypeptide such as Strep Tag II into the targeting moiety or glycoprotein of a pseudotyped lentiviral construct results in functional viral particles.
- Example 4 Purification of pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring affinity binding polypeptide using column chromatography Biotin in buffer does not affect titer Prior to purification of viral constructs via the Strep Tag II polypeptide, it was assessed whether the presence of biotin in the elution buffer would affect viral transduction. Untagged pseudotyped virus and pseudotyped virus harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the VSV-G protein either with or without a flexible linker were purified via traditional viral purification methods. Biotin (1mM) was added to the buffer solution and the viral titer assessed. As shown in FIG.3, the presence of 1mM biotin did not affect the titer of each construct tested.
- Functional viral particles purified from streptactin column Pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the viral glycoprotein were purified via a Strep-Tactin column.
- SupT1 cells were seeded in 96- well tissue culture plates with 25,000 cells per well with RPMI+10% FBS culture media.
- Concentrated lentiviral suspensions for each condition were diluted into three preparations: 1:23 in PBS, 1:23 in PBS with 1 mM biotin (hereafter, elution buffer), or 1:20 in PBS. The 1:20 PBS dilution for each condition was loaded to PBS-washed Strep-Tactin columns.
- both viral constructs with a Strep Tag II polypeptide had higher recovery of functional virus off the Strep-Tactin column than an untagged control.
- the eluate of the untagged control generated a small fraction of CAR20+ cells, indicatin minor non-specific retention to the column prior to elution.
- 215 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT Alternate constructs of pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the viral glycoprotein as well as those harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the targeting moiety were also purified via a Strep-Tactin column. Post elution, purified viral product was tested for functional activity.
- Strep Tag II glycoprotein construct
- Strep Tag II targeting moiety constructs
- the sum of the flow through and eluate fractions did not equal the input, indicating that the viral constructs may be non- specifically sticking in the column and/or leaking from the column during wash steps.
- inclusion of a Strep Tag II polypeptide in either a VSV-G protein or a targeting moiety as provided for herein resulted in functional viral purification.
- the data from the present example illustrates that the required component of the elution buffer does not affect the viral titer and illustrates the proof of concept that functional virus may be recovered using the affinity binding polypeptide constructs provided for herein.
- Example 5 Purification of pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring affinity binding polypeptide using magnetic beads The ability of pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the viral glycoprotein as well as those harboring a Strep Tag II polypeptide in the targeting moiety to be purified using magnetic bead separation was examined. Viral constructs were prepared according to the methods provided for above. Post elution, purified viral product was tested for functional activity. As illustrated in FIG. 6, viral recovery was more efficient using magnetic beads as compared to column purification, with all constructs tested returning a sum of eluate and flow through equal to or close to the input level.
- Strep Tag II:VSV-G constructs Three of six Strep Tag II:VSV-G constructs resulted in functional virus detected in the eluate, and all three Strep Tag II:targeting moiety constructs resulted in functional virus detected in the eluate. Further, the Strep Tag II:targeting moiety constructs facilitated about a 40% recovery of total input using the magnetic beads.
- the data from the present example illustrates the proof of concept that functional virus may be recovered using magnetic beads. The present example also illustrates that use of magnetic beads may help reduce product loss as compared to column purification.
- Example 6 Binding characteristics of Strep Tag II constructs The binding characteristics of select Strep Tag II: glycoprotein and Strep Tag II: targeting moiety constructs were assessed.
- lentiviral suspensions for 216 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT each condition starting at 200 ng of p24 per mL were diluted in a 5-fold dilution series in TSSM buffer (Tris, NaCl, sucrose, mannitol pH 7.3). Diluted vectors were analyzed in a 96-Channel Ultra High Throughput Octet System loaded with Streptavidin (SAX) biosensors per manufacturer’s recommended protocols.
- SAX Streptavidin
- the control viral construct with no Strep Tag II affinity tag showed non-specific binding to the streptavidin coated label free sensograms which was not altered by the addition of 1mM biotin.
- the glycoprotein-tagged and targeting moiety tagged constructs showed binding to the streptavidin coated label free sensograms, and a corresponding sharp dissociation in response to addition of 1mM biotin, indicating that the viral particles harboring the Strep Tag II polypeptide were binding to the streptavidin coated label free sensors.
- the association step showed slow on-rate binding events, indicating that the Strep Tag II labeled viral particles move slowly to bind the streptavidin coated label free sensograms.
- the slow on-rate kinetics could be due to Strep Tag II polypeptide density on the viral surface, the size of the lentiviral particles which would naturally diffuse slower than smaller antibodies or peptides, or a combination of these and other factors.
- Table 8 Sample Response Dissociation Chi squared R squared Rate (kd 1/s) The data from the present example indicates that the label free biosensor system may be used to further characterize and optimize the binding properties of Strep Tag II labeled viral particles. The data also provide further evidence that Strep Tag II labeled viral particles are able to bind to streptavidin coated particles, providing support that viral particle may be purified through affinity binding polypeptide labeling.
- Example 7 Construction of Ebola glycoprotein:affinity binding polypeptide constructs Pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring an affinity binding polypeptide in the viral glycoprotein were designed.
- An Ebola glycoprotein was modified to contain a Strep Tag II 217 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT polypeptide at various locations at or near the N-terminus of the glycoprotein (SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 27, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 137, SEQ ID NO: 147, SEQ ID NO: 148, SEQ ID NO: 151, and SEQ ID NO: 156).
- the constructs were designed to utilize the full length Ebola glycoprotein (SEQ ID NO: 26 and 147) to utilize an Ebola glycoprotein construct with the MLD removed (SEQ ID NO: 27 and 148), or to utilize an Ebola glycoprotein construct wherein the MLD is replaced by a targeting moiety as provided for herein (SEQ ID NO: 28, 137, 151, and 156).
- the Ebola constructs provided are then purified and verified in a similar manner as detailed in Examples 3-6 above.
- Example 8 Construction of additional Ebola glycoprotein:affinity binding polypeptide constructs Additional pseudotyped lentiviral constructs harboring an affinity binding polypeptide in the Ebola virus glycoprotein were designed.
- the Ebola glycoprotein was modified to contain a Strep Tag II polypeptide within the glycoprotein, specifically by replacing all or part of the glycan cap, the mucin like domain, or both the glycan cap and mucin like domain as provided for herein.
- These constructs include, but are not limited to, SEQ ID NO: 135, SEQ ID NO: 136, SEQ ID NO: 149, SEQ ID NO: 150, SEQ ID NO: 152, SEQ ID NO: 153, SEQ ID NO: 154, and SEQ ID NO: 155.
- the Ebola glycoprotein constructs were further modified to optionally contain a targeting moiety as provided for herein.
- constructs include, but are not limited to, SEQ ID NO: 138, SEQ ID NO: 139, SEQ ID NO: 140, SEQ ID NO: 141, SEQ ID NO: 142, SEQ ID NO: 143, SEQ ID NO: 144, SEQ ID NO: 145, SEQ ID NO: 157, SEQ ID NO: 158, SEQ ID NO: 159, SEQ ID NO: 160, SEQ ID NO: 161, SEQ ID NO: 162, SEQ ID NO: 163, SEQ ID NO: 164, SEQ ID NO: 188, SEQ ID NO: 189, SEQ ID NO: 190, and SEQ ID NO: 191.
- constructs were also rationally designed to compare the inclusion of a single affinity binding polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 135, 144, 145, 149, 153, 163, and 164) vs multiple affinity binding polypeptides (SEQ ID NO: 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 150, 152, 154, 155, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 188, 189, 190, or 191), to compare the absence (SEQ ID NO: 135, 136, 149, 150, 152, 153, 154, and 155) or presence (SEQ ID NO: 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 188, 189, 190, and 191) of a targeting moiety in place of the MLD as provided for herein, and to compare the 218 IPTS/128546293.1 INH-015WO PATENT
