Abstract: Bispecific antigen-binding constructs e.g., antibodies conjugated to drugs (ADCs), which bind CD3 and other cell-surface target antigen such as tumor antigens e.g., CD19, CDH3, HER2, HER3 and EGFR antigens and methods of use are disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein are high affinity antigen binding constructs, e.g., antibodies, directed to the ECD2 domain of HER2. The antigen-binding constructs comprise at least one antigen-binding polypeptide construct that binds to ECD2 of HER2 (HER2 ECD2) with increased affinity compared to a wild-type 2C4 antibody. Such antigen-binding polypeptide constructs comprise one or more amino acid modifications in the framework region and/or CDRs compared to the amino acid sequence of a wild-type 2C4 antibody that increase affinity of the antigen-binding polypeptide construct for ECD2 by 2-fold or greater. The antigen-binding constructs can inhibit the growth of HER2-expressing breast cancer cells and gastric cancer cells. Antigen-binding constructs in biparatopic format are internalized in HER2-expressing cells.

The low average DAR (<3.9) ADCs as described herein have improved tolerability and decreased toxicity as compared to a corresponding ADC having a DAR?3.9 when administered at the same toxin dose.

One antigen binding polypeptide construct is a Fab format and the other antigen binding polypeptide construct is an scFv format. The bi-specific antigen binding constructs includes an Fc having two Fc polypeptides each having a CH3 domain for dimerization. Each Fc polypeptide is linked to the C-terminus of one of the antigen binding polypeptide constructs with or without a linker.

Abstract: The provided scaffolds have heavy chains that are asymmetric in the various domains (e.g. CH2 and CH3) to accomplish selectivity between the various Fc receptors involved in modulating effector function, beyond those achievable with a natural homodimeric (symmetric) Fc molecule, and increased stability and purity of the resulting variant Fc heterodimers. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process and methods for producing asymmetric antibodies in a mammalian expression system. The asymmetric antibodies are transiently or stably expressed and in cells that stably express the asymmetric antibody, following a rapid 2-step process of stable pool to clone, a highly pure asymmetric antibody expressing clone can be identified at a success frequency that permits for screening of tens of clones rather than thousands. The asymmetric antibodies are produced at a high titre and with a high level of purity with no contaminating homodimer antibodies following protein A purification with a step yield of near 100%. Typical downstream purification processes employ standard hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and/or cation exchange (CEX) resins and the antibody is stable within a wide dynamic range of buffer pH (4-8) and within the requirements for manufacturing antibodies for pre-clinical and clinical applications.

The polypeptides are mutated at multiple positions to make them more effective when incorporated in antibody therapeutics than those having wild-type Fc components.

Abstract: The present invention provides heterodimer pairs comprising a first heterodimer and a second heterodimer wherein each heterodimer comprises an immunoglobulin heavy chain or fragment thereof and an immunoglobulin light chain. At least one of the heterodimers comprises amino acid modifications in the CH1 and/or CL domains, amino acid modifications in the VH and/or VL domains or a combination thereof. The modified amino acid residues are part of the interface between the light chain and heavy chain and are modified in order to create preferential pairing between each heavy chain and a desired light chain such that when the two heavy chains and two light chains of the heterodimer pair are co-expressed in a mammalian cell, the heavy chain of the first heterodimer preferentially pairs with one of the light chains rather than the other. Likewise, the heavy chain of the second heterodimer preferentially pairs with the second light chain rather than first.
