Abstract: This disclosure relates to a chimeric antigen receptor for binding with a tumor specific target antigen. The chimeric antigen receptor comprises at least one antigen specific targeting region evolved from a parent protein or a fragment thereof and having a decrease in activity in the assay at the normal physiological condition compared to the activity in the assay under the aberrant condition. A method for producing the chimeric antigen receptor is also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a chimeric antigen receptor for binding with a target antigen. The chimeric antigen receptor comprises at least one antigen specific targeting region including a multispecific bivalent monovalent antibody evolved from a wild-type antibody or a fragment thereof and having at least one of: (a) a decrease CAB-scFv Affinity ELISA in activity in the assay at the normal physiological condition compared to the wild-type antibody or the fragment thereof, and (b) an increase in activity in the assay under the aberrant condition compared to the wild-type antibody or the fragment thereof. A method for using the chimeric antigen receptor and cytotoxic cells for cancer treatment is also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of integrating therapeutic protein and antibody generation and/or selection, evolution and expression in a eukaryotic host for manufacturing in a single system. Therapeutic proteins, including antibodies, are generated, optimized and manufactured in the same eukaryotic host system. The disclosed system of Comprehensive Integrated Antibody Optimization (CIAO!™) allows for simultaneous evolution of protein performance and expression optimization.

Abstract: The present invention is relevant to proteins and novel methods of protein evolution. The present invention further relates to methods of identifying and mapping mutant polypeptides formed from, or based upon, a template polypeptide.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures.

The chimeric antigen receptor comprises at least one antigen specific targeting region evolved from a wild-type protein or a domain thereof and having at least one of: (a) a decrease in activity in the assay at the normal physiological condition compared to the antigen specific targeting region of the wild-type protein or a domain thereof, and (b) an increase in activity in the assay under the aberrant condition compared to the antigen specific targeting region of the wild-type protein or a domain thereof. A method for generating the chimeric antigen receptor and cytotoxic cells that express the chimeric antigen receptor are also provided.

Abstract: A method of preparing a conditionally active biologic protein by selecting a wild-type biologic protein, evolving the DNA which encodes the wild-type biologic protein using one or more evolutionary techniques to create mutant DNAs, expressing the mutant DNAs in a eukaryotic cell production host to obtain a mutant protein, subjecting the mutant protein and the wild-type protein to an assay under a normal physiological condition and to an assay under an aberrant condition, selecting a conditionally active mutant protein which exhibits at least one of: (a) a decrease in activity in the assay at the normal physiological condition compared to the wild-type protein, and (b) an increase in activity in the assay under the aberrant condition compared to the wild-type protein; and producing the conditionally active biologic protein in the same eukaryotic cell production host used in the expression step.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for generation of humanized full length antibodies in mammalian cells. A library of humanized variants is provided with high, validated human framework diversity without requiring back-mutations to retain original affinity. Synthetic CDR encoding fragment libraries derived from a template antibody are ligated to human framework region encoding fragments from a human framework pool limited only to germline sequences from a functionally expressed antibodies. The vector comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding HC framework region 4. No CDR grafting or phage display is required.
