Abstract: Examples of artificial intelligence-based reasoning explanation are described. In an example implementation, a knowledge model having a plurality of ontologies and a plurality of inferencing rules is generated. Once the knowledge model is generated, based on a real-world problem, a knowledge model from amongst various knowledge models is selected to be used for resolving a real-world problem. The data procured from the real-world problem is clustered and classified into an ontology of the determined knowledge model. Inferencing rules to be used for deconstructing the real-world problem are identified, and a machine reasoning is generated to provide a hypothesis for the problem and an explanation to accompany the hypothesis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cytokine-based bioactivatable drug construct (“VitoKine”) platform that aims to reduce systemic mechanism-based toxicities and lead to broader therapeutic utility for proteins and cytokines such as IL-15 and IL-2 for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, viral infection, transplantation and various other disorders. The novel VitoKine constructs of the present invention comprise: 1) a tissue or disease site targeting moiety D1 domain (“D1”), 2) a bioactivatable moiety D2 domain (“D2”), and a concealing moiety D3 domain (“D3”). Importantly, because the “active moiety” of the VitoKine construct will remain inert until activated locally by proteases that are upregulated in diseased tissues, this will limit binding of the active moiety to the receptors or to the targets in the peripheral or on the cell-surface of non-diseased cells and tissue to prevent over-activation of the pathway and reduce undesirable “on-target” “off tissue” toxicities.

In various embodiments, the fusion proteins of the invention have two functional domains: an IL-15/IL-15R?Sushi domain (also referred to herein as an “IL-15/IL-15R?Sushi complex”) and an antibody domain, each of which can take different forms, and configured such that the IL-15 is fused to the C-terminal of the antibody domain and co-expressed and non-covalently complexed with IL-15R?Sushi. Importantly, the fusions proteins of the present invention address several of the limitations observed with the IL-15 therapeutics evaluated to date; specifically, the fusion proteins demonstrate extended the half-life of IL-15 in vivo, and demonstrate optimized preclinical activity compared to rIL-15 or related cytokine therapeutics.
