ANTIBODIES THAT IMMUNOSPECIFICALLY
BIND TO BLyS
INTRODUCTION
[001] The present invention relates to antibodies and related molecules that immunospecifically bind to BLyS. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for detecting, diagnosing, or prognosing a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS or BLyS receptor expression or inappropriate function of BLyS or BLyS receptor, comprising antibodies or fragments or variants thereof, or related molecules, that immunospecifically bind to BLyS. The present invention further relates to methods and compositions for preventing, treating or ameliorating a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS or BLyS receptor expression or inappropriate BLyS
function or BLyS receptor function, comprising administering to an animal, preferably a human, an effective amount of one or more antibodies or fragments or variants thereof, or related molecules, that immunospecifically bind to BLyS.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ("TNF") superfamily that induces both in vivo and in vitro B cell proliferation and differentiation (Moore et al., Science 285: 260-263 (1999)). BLyS is distinguishable from other B cell growth and differentiation factors such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-13, IL-15, CD40L, or CD27L (CD70) by its monocyte-specific gene and protein expression pattern and its specific receptor distribution and biological activity on B
lymphocytes.
BLyS expression is not detected on natural killer ("NK") cells, T cells or B
cells, but is restricted to cells of myeloid origin. BLyS expression on resting monocytes is upregulated by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). The gene encoding BLyS has been mapped to chromosome 13q34.
[003] BLyS is expressed as a 285 amino acid type II membrane-bound polypeptide and a soluble 152 amino acid polypeptide (Moore et al., 1999 supra). The membrane-bound form of BLyS has a predicted transmembrane spanning domain between amino acid residues 47 and 73. The NH2-terminus of the soluble form of BLyS
begins at Ala134 of the membrane-bound form of BLyS. Soluble recombinant BLyS
has been shown to induce in vitro proliferation of murine splenic B cells and to bind to a cell-surface receptor on these cells (Moore et al., 1999 supra). Soluble BLyS
administration to mice has been shown to result in an increase in the proportion of CD45Rd"u, Ly6Db"g`t (also known as ThB) B cells and an increase in serum IgM and IgA levels (Moore et al., 1999 supra). Thus, BLyS displays a B cell tropism in both its receptor distribution and biological activity.
Based upon its expression pattern and biological activity, BLyS has been suggested to be involved in the exchange of signals between B cells and monocytes or their differentiated progeny. The restricted expression patterns of BLyS
receptor and ligand suggest that BLyS may function as a regulator of T cell-independent responses in a manner analogous to that of CD40 and CD40L in T cell-dependent antigen activation. As such, antibodies and related molecules that immunospecifically bind to BLyS
may fmd medical utility in, for example, the treatment of B cell disorders associated with autoimmunity, neoplasia, or immunodeficiency syndromes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide antibodies that immunospecifcally bind to BLyS. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided an antibody that immunospecifcally binds to BLyS comprising a first amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to a second amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of:

(a) an amino acid sequence comprising the amino acid sequence of a VHCDR
of any one of the scFvs of SEQ ID NOS:1 through 2128; and (b) an amino acid sequence comprising the amino acid sequence of a VLCDR
of any one of the scFvs of SEQ ID NOS:1 through 2128.

The present invention encompasses antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecificall y bind to a polypeptide or polypeptide fragment of BLyS. In particular, the invention encompasses antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically bind to a polypeptide or polypeptide fragment of human BLyS (SEQ ID NOS:3228 and/or 3229) or BLyS expressed on human monocytes; murine BLyS (SEQ ID NOS:3230 and/or 3231) or BLyS expressed on murine monocytes; rat BLyS (either the soluble forms as given in SEQ
ID NOS:3232, 3233, 3234 and/or 3235 or in a membrane associated form, e.g., on the surface of rat monocytes); or monkey BLyS (e.g., the monkey BLyS polypeptides of SEQ
ID NOS:3236 and/or 3237, the soluble form of monkey BLyS, or BLyS expressed on monkey monocytes), preferably human BLyS. The present invention also encompasses methods and compositions for detecting, diagnosing, or prognosing diseases or disorders associated with aberrant BLyS or BLyS receptor expression or inappropriate function of BLyS or BLyS receptor in an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human, 2a comprising, or alternatively consisting of, use of antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically bind to BLyS. Diseases and disorders which can be detected, diagnosed, or prognosed with the antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) of the invention include, but are not limited to, immune disorders (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Hashimoto's disease, and immunodeficiency syndrome), inflammatory disorders (e.g., asthma, allergic disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis), infectious diseases (e.g., AIDS), and proliferative disorders (e.g., leukemia, carcinoma, and lymphoma). The present invention further encompasses methods and compositions for preventing, treating or ameliorating diseases or disorders associated with aberrant BLyS or BLyS receptor expression or inappropriate function of BLyS or BLyS
receptor in an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human, comprising, or alternatively consisting of, administering to said animal an effective amount of one or more antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically bind to BLyS. Diseases and disorders which can be prevented, treated or ameliorated by administering an effective amount of an antibody of the invention include, but are not limited to, immune disorders (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Hashimoto's disease, and immunodeficiency syndrome), inflammatory disorders (e.g., asthma, allergic disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis), infectious diseases (e.g., AIDS), and proliferative disorders (e.g., leukemia, carcinoma, and lymphoma).

DEFINITIONS
[0261 The term "antibody," as used herein, refers to immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen binding site that immunospecifically binds an antigen. As such, the term antibody encompasses not only whole antibody molecules, but also antibody fragments as well as variants (including derivatives) of antibodies and antibody fragments.
Examples of molecules which are described by the term "antibody" in this application include, but are not limited to: single chain Fvs (scFvs), Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab')2, disulfide linked Fvs (sdFvs), Fvs, and fragments comprising or alternatively consisting of, either a VL or a VH domain. The term "single chain Fv" or "scFv" as used herein refers to a polypeptide comprising a VL domain of antibody linked to a VH domain of an antibody. Antibodies that immunospecifically bind to BLyS may have cross-reactivity with other antigens. Preferably, antibodies that immunospecifically bind to BLyS do not cross-react with other antigens. Antibodies that immunospecifically bind to BLyS can be identified, for example, by immunoassays or other techniques known to those of skill in the art, e.g., the immunoassays described in the Examples below.
[027] Antibodies of the invention include, but are not limited to, monoclonal, multispecific, human or chimeric antibodies, single chain antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab') fragments, antiidiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies (including, e.g., anti-Id antibodies to antibodies of the invention), and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above. The immunoglobulin molecules of the invention can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY), class (e.g., IgGI, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAI and IgA2) or subclass of immunoglobulin molecule.
[028] Preferably, an antibody of the invention comprises, or alternatively consists of, a VH domain, VH CDR, VL domain, or VL CDR having an amino acid sequence of any one of those referred to in Table 1, or a fragment or variant thereof.
[029] An antibody of the invention "which binds the soluble form of BLyS" is one which binds the 152 amino acid soluble form of the BLyS protein (amino acids 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228). In specific embodiments of the invention, an antibody of the invention "which binds the soluble form of BLyS" does not also bind the membrane-bound or membrane-associated form of BLyS. Assays which measure binding to the soluble form of BLyS include, but are not limited to, receptor binding inhibition assay or capture of soluble BLyS from solution as described in Examples 8 and 9.
[030] An antibody of the invention "which binds the membrane-bound form of BLyS" is one which binds the membrane-associated (uncleaved) BLyS protein. In specific embodiments of the invention, an antibody of the invention "which binds the membrane-bound form of BLyS" does not also bind the soluble form of BLyS.
Binding to HIS-tagged BLyS (as described herein) in an ELISA is an indicator that an antibody binds the membrane-bound form of BLyS, but should not be relied upon as proof of specificity for the membrane-bound form of BLyS. Assays that may be relied upon as proof of an antibody's specificity for membrane-bound BLyS, include, but are not limited to, binding to plasma membranes expressing BLyS as described in Example 2. An antibody of the invention "which binds the both the soluble form and the membrane-bound form of BLyS" is one which binds both the membrane-bound form and the soluble form of BLyS.
[031] The term "variant" as used herein refers to a polypeptide that possesses a similar or identical function as a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS
antibody or antibody fragment thereof, but does not necessarily comprise a similar or identical amino acid sequence of a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS
antibody or antibody fragment thereof, or possess a similar or identical structure of a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS antibody or antibody fragment thereof. A variant having a similar amino acid refers to a polypeptide that satisfies at least one of the following: (a) a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence that is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS antibody or antibody fragment thereof (including a VH domain, VHCDR, VL domain, or VLCDR having an amino acid sequence of any one of those referred to in Table 1) described herein; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence, the complementary sequence of which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleotide sequence encoding a BLyS
polypeptide (e.g., SEQ ID NO:3228), a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS antibody or antibody fragment thereof (including a VH domain, VHCDR, VL domain, or VLCDR having an amino acid sequence of any one of those referred to in Table 1), described herein, of at least 5 amino acid residues, at least 10 amino acid residues, at least 15 amino acid residues, at least 20 amino acid residues, at least 25 amino acid residues, at least 30 amino acid residues, at least 40 amino acid residues, at least 50 amino acid residues, at least 60 amino residues, at least 70 amino acid residues, at least 80 amino acid residues, at least 90 amino acid residues, at least 100 amino acid residues, at least 125 amino acid residues, or at least 150 amino acid residues; and (c) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence that is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or at least 99%, identical to the nucleotide sequence encoding a BLyS
polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS antibody or antibody fragment thereof (including a VH domain, VHCDR, VL domain, or VLCDR having an amino acid sequence of any one of those referred to in Table 1), described herein. A
polypeptide with similar structure to a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS
antibody or antibody fragment thereof, described herein refers to a polypeptide that has a similar secondary, tertiary or quarternary structure of a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an anti-BLyS antibody, or antibody fragment thereof, described herein. The structure of a polypeptide can determined by methods known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and crystallographic electron microscopy.
[0321 To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in the sequence of a first amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment with a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide at the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., % identity =
number of identical overlapping positions/total number of positions x 100%).
In one embodiment, the two sequences are the same length.
[0331 The determination of percent identity, between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm known to those of skill in the art. An example of a mathematical algorithm for comparing two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268(1990), modified as in Karlin and Altschul Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877(1993). The BLASTn and BLASTx programs of Altschul, et al. J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410(1990) have incorporated such an alogrithm. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the BLASTn program, score = 100, wordlength = 12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecules of the invention. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the BLASTx program, score = 50, wordlength = 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein molecules of the invention. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al.
Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402(1997). Alternatively, PSI-BLAST can be used to perform an iterated search which detects distant relationships between molecules (Id.).
When utilizing BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI-BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., BLASTx and BLASTn) can be used.

[034] Another example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, CABIOS (1989). The ALIGN
program (version 2.0) which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package has incorporated such an alogrithm. Other algorithms for sequence analysis known in the art include ADVANCE and ADAM as described in Torellis and Robotti Comput. Appl.
Biosci., 10 :3-5(1994); and FASTA described in Pearson and Lipman Proc. Natl.
Acad.
Sci. 85:2444-8(1988). Within FASTA, ktup is a control option that sets the sensitivity and speed of the search.
[035] The term "derivative" as used herein, refers to a variant polypeptide of the invention that comprises, or alternatively consists of, an amino acid sequence of a BLyS
polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, or an antibody of the invention that immunospecifically binds to BLyS, which has been altered by the introduction of amino acid residue substitutions, deletions or additions. The term "derivative" as used herein also refers to a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, an antibody that immunospecifically binds to BLyS which has been modified, e.g., by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule to the polypeptide. For example, but not by way of limitation, a BLyS
polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, or an anti-BLyS antibody, may be modified, e.g., by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein, etc. A derivative of a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, or an anti-BLyS
antibody, may be modified by chemical modifications using techniques known to those of skill in the art, including, but not limited to, specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, etc. Further, a derivative of a BLyS
polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, or an anti-BLyS antibody, may contain one or more non-classical amino acids. A polypeptide derivative possesses a similar or identical function as a BLyS polypeptide, a fragment of BLyS, or an anti-BLyS antibody, described herein.
[036] The term "epitopes" as used herein refers to portions of BLyS having antigenic or immunogenic activity in an animal, preferably a mammal. An epitope having immunogenic activity is a portion of BLyS that elicits an antibody response in an animal.
An eptiope having antigenic activity is a portion of BLyS to which an antibody immunospecifically binds as determined by any method known in the art, for example, by the immunoassays described herein. Antigenic epitopes need not necessarily be immunogenic.
[037] The term "fragment" as used herein refers to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of at least 5 amino acid residues, at least 10 amino acid residues, at least 15 amino acid residues, at least 20 amino acid residues, at least 25 amino acid residues, at least 30 amino acid residues, at least 35 amino acid residues, at least 40 amino acid residues, at least 45 amino acid residues, at least 50 amino acid residues, at least 60 amino residues, at least 70 amino acid residues, at least 80 amino acid residues, at least 90 amino acid residues, at least 100 amino acid residues, at least 125 amino acid residues, at least 150 amino acid residues, at least 175 amino acid residues, at least 200 amino acid residues, or at least 250 amino acid residues, of the amino acid sequence of BLyS, or an anti-BLyS antibody (including molecules such as scFv's, that comprise, or alternatively consist of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically binds to BLyS.
[038] The term "fusion protein" as used herein refers to a polypeptide that comprises, or alternatively consists of, an amino acid sequence of an anti-BLyS antibody of the invention and an amino acid sequence of a heterologous polypeptide (i.e., a polypeptide unrelated to an antibody or antibody domain).
[039] The term "host cell" as used herein refers to the particular subject cell transfected with a nucleic acid molecule and the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Progeny may not be identical to the parent cell transfected with the nucleic acid molecule due to mutations or environmental influences that may occur in succeeding generations or integration of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome.

[060] The BLyS polypeptides bound by the antibodies of the invention may be in monomers or multimers (i.e., dimers, trimers, tetramers and higher multimers).
Accordingly, the present invention relates to antibodies that bind monomers and multimers of the BLyS polypeptides of the invention, their preparation, and compositions (preferably, pharmaceutical compositions) containing them. In specific embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind BLyS monomers, dimers, trimers or tetramers.
In additional embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind at least dimers, at least trimers, or at least tetramers of BLyS.
[061] Multimeric BLyS bound by the antibodies of the invention may be homomers or heteromeris. A BLyS homomer, refers to a multimer containing only BLyS
polypeptides (including BLyS fragments, variants, and fusion proteins, as described herein). These homomers may contain BLyS polypeptides having identical or different amino acid sequences. In specific embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a BLyS homodimer (e.g., containing two BLyS polypeptides having identical or different amino acid sequences) or a BLyS homotrimer (e.g., containing three BLyS
polypeptides having identical or different amino acid sequences). In a preferred embodiment, the .
antibodies of the invention bind homotrimers of BLyS. In additional embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a homomeric BLyS multimer which is at least a homodimer, at least a homotrimer, or at least a homotetramer.
[062] Heteromeric BLyS refers to a multimer containing heterologous polypeptides (i.e., polypeptides of a different protein) in addition to the BLyS
polypeptides of the invention. In a specific embodiment, the antibodies of the invention bind a BLyS heterodimer, a heterotrimer, or a heterotetramer. In additional embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a heteromeric BLyS multimer which is at least a heterodimer, at least a heterotrimer, or at least a heterotetramer. In highly preferred embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a heterotrimer comprising both BLyS
polypeptides and APRIL polypeptides (SEQ ID NO:3239; GenBank Accession No.

AF046888.; PCT International Publication Number W097133902; Hahne et al., J.
Exp. Med. 188(6):
1185-1190 (1998) or fragments or variants thereof. In other highly preferred embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a heterotrimer comprising one BLyS
polypeptide (including fragments or variants) and two APRIL polypeptides (including fragments or variants). In still other highly preferred embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind a heterotrimer comprising two BLyS polypeptides (including fragments or variants) and one APRIL polypeptide (including fragments or variants). In a further nonexclusive embodiment, the heteromers bound by the antibodies of the invention contain CD40 ligand polypeptide sequence(s), or biologically active fragment(s) or variant(s) thereof.

[063] In particularly preferred embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind homomeric, especially homotrimeric, BLyS polypeptides, wherein the individual protein components of the multimers consist of the mature form of BLyS (e.g., amino acids residues 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228, or amino acids residues 134-266 of SEQ ID
NO:3229) or fragments or variants thereof. In other specific embodiments, antibodies of the invention bind heteromeric, especially heterotrimeric, BLyS polypeptides such as a heterotrimer containing two BLyS polypeptides and one APRIL polypeptide or a heterotrimer containing one BLyS polypeptide and two APRIL polypeptides, and wherein the individual protein components of the BLyS heteromer consist of the mature extracellular soluble portion of either BLyS (e.g., amino acids residues 134-285 of SEQ
ID NO:3228, or amino acids residues 134-266 of SEQ ID NO:3229) or fragments or variants thereof, or the mature extracellular soluble portion APRIL (e.g., amino acid residues 105-250 of SEQ ID NO:3239) or fragments or variants thereof.

[064] In specific embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind conformational epitopes of a BLyS monomeric protein. In specific embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind conformational epitopes of a BLyS multimeric, especially trimeric, protein. In other embodiments, antibodies of the invention bind conformational epitopes that arise from the juxtaposition of BLyS with a heterologous polypeptide, such as might be present when BLyS forms heterotrimers (e.g., with APRIL
polypeptides (e.g., SEQ ID SEQ ID NO:3239)), or in fusion proteins between BLyS and a heterologous polypeptide.

[065] BLyS multimers bound by the antibodies of the invention may be the result of hydrophobic, hydrophilic, ionic and/or covalent associations and/or may be indirectly linked, by for example, liposome formation. Thus, in one embodiment, BLyS
multimers, such as, for example, homodimers or homotrimers, are formed when polypeptides of the invention contact one another in solution. In another embodiment, BLyS
heteromultimers, such as, for example, BLyS heterotrimers or BLyS
heterotetramers, are formed when polypeptides of the invention contact antibodies to the polypeptides of the invention (including antibodies to the heterologous polypeptide sequence in a fusion protein of the invention) in solution. In other embodiments, BLyS multimers are formed by covalent associations with and/or between the BLyS polypeptides of the invention.
Such covalent associations may involve one or more amino acid residues contained in the polypeptide sequence (e.g., that recited in SEQ ID NO:3228 or SEQ ID NO:3229).
In one instance, the covalent associations are cross-linking between cysteine residues located within the polypeptide sequences which interact in the native (i.e., naturally occurring) polypeptide. In another instance, the covalent associations are the consequence of chemical or recombinant manipulation. Alternatively, such covalent associations may involve one or more amino acid residues contained in the heterologous polypeptide sequence in a BLyS fusion protein. In one example, covalent associations are between the heterologous sequence contained in a fusion protein (see, e.g., US Patent Number 5,478,925). In a specific example, the covalent associations are between the heterologous sequence contained in a BLyS-Fc fusion protein. In another specific example, covalent associations of fusion proteins of the invention are between heterologous polypeptide sequence from another TNF family ligand/receptor member that is capable of forming covalently associated multimers, such as for example, oseteoprotegerin (see, e.g., International Publication No. WO 98/49305.
In another specific example, covalent associations of fusion proteins of the invention are between heterologous polypeptide sequence from CD40L, or a soluble fragment thereof. In another embodiment, two or BLyS polypeptides are joined through synthetic linkers (e.g., peptide, carbohydrate or soluble polymer linkers).
Examples include those peptide linkers described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,073,627.
Proteins comprising multiple BLyS. polypeptides separated by peptide linkers may be produced using conventional recombinant DNA technology.
[0661 In one embodiment, antibodies of the invention immunospecifically bind a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3228 or as encoded by the cDNA clone contained in ATCC No. 97768, or a polypeptide comprising a portion (i.e., a fragment) of the above polypeptides. In another embodiment, the invention provides an antibody that binds an isolated BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229 or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA
clone contained in ATCC No. 203518, or a an antibody that binds polypeptide comprising a portion (i.e, fragment) of the above polypeptides.
[067] Antibodies of the present invention immunospecifically bind to polypeptides comprising or alternatively, consisting of, the amino acid sequence of SEQ
ID NO:3228, encoded by the cDNA contained in the plasmid having ATCC accession number 97768, or encoded by nucleic acids which hybridize (e.g., under stringent hybridization conditions) to the nucleotide sequence contained in the deposited clone.
Antibodies of the present invention also bind to fragments of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3228, encoded by the cDNA contained in the plasmid having ATCC

[068] Additionally, antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides comprising or alternatively, consisting of, the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID
NO:3229, encoded by the cDNA contained in the plasmid having ATCC accession number 203518, or encoded by nucleic acids which hybridize (e.g., under stringent hybridization conditions) to the nucleotide sequence contained in the deposited clone.
Antibodies of the present invention also bind to fragments of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID
NO:3229, encoded by the cDNA contained in the plasmid having ATCC accession number 203518, or encoded by nucleic acids which hybridize (e.g., under stringent hybridization conditions) to the nucleotide sequence contained in the deposited clone.
[069] In addition, antibodies of the invention bind polypeptides or polypeptide fragments comprising or alternatively, consisting of, an amino acid sequence contained in SEQ ID NOS: 3230 through 3237.

NO:3228, encoded by the cDNA contained in the deposited clone, or encoded by nucleic acids which hybridize (e.g., under stringent hybridization conditions) to the nucleotide sequence contained in the deposited clone. Protein fragments may be "free-standing," or comprised within a larger polypeptide of which the fragment forms a part or region, most preferably as a single continuous region. Representative examples of polypeptide fragments that may be bound by the antibodies of the present invention, include, for example, fragments that comprise or alternatively, consist of from about amino acid residues: 1 to 50, 51 to 100, 101 to 150, 151 to 200, 201 to 250, and/or 251 to 285 of SEQ ID NO:3228.

[072] It will be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art that mutations targeted to regions of a BLyS polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3228 which encompass the nineteen amino acid residue insertion which is not found in the BLyS
polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229 (i.e., amino acid residues Val-142 through Lys-160 of the sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229) may affect the observed biological activities of the BLyS
polypeptide. More specifically, a partial, non-limiting and non-exclusive list of such residues of the BLyS polypeptide sequence which may be targeted for mutation includes the following amino acid residues of the BLyS polypeptide sequence as shown in SEQ ID

[073] Polypeptide fragments may be "free-standing," or comprised within a larger polypeptide of which the fragment forms a part or region, most preferably as a single continuous region. Representative examples of polypeptide fragments that may be bound by antibodies of the present invention, include, for example, fragments that comprise or alternatively, consist of from about amino acid residues: 1 to 15, 16-30, 31-46, 47-55, 56-72, 73-104, 105-163, 163-188, 186-210 and 210-284 of the amino acid sequence disclosed in SEQ ID NO:3228.

The epitope of this polypeptide portion may be an immunogenic or antigenic epitope of a polypeptide of the invention. An "immunogenic epitope" is defined as a part of a protein that elicits an antibody response when the whole protein is the immunogen. On the other hand, a region of a protein molecule to which an antibody can bind is defined as an "antigenic epitope." The number of immunogenic epitopes of a protein generally is less than the number of antigenic epitopes.
See, for instance, Geysen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:3998- 4002 (1983).
[084] As to the selection of polypeptides bearing an antigenic epitope (i.e., that contain a region of a protein molecule to which an antibody can bind), it is well known in that art that relatively short synthetic peptides that mimic part of a protein sequence are routinely capable of eliciting an antiserum that reacts with the partially mimicked protein.
See, for instance, Sutcliffe, J. G., Shinnick, T. M., Green, N. and Learner, R. A. (1983) "Antibodies that react with predetermined sites on proteins", Science, 219:660-666.
Peptides capable of eliciting protein-reactive sera are frequently represented in the primary sequence of a protein, can be characterized by a set of simple chemical rules, and are confined neither to immunodominant regions of intact proteins (i.e., immunogenic epitopes) nor to the amino or carboxyl terminals. Antigenic epitope-bearing peptides and polypeptides of the invention are therefore useful to raise antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies, that bind specifically to a polypeptide of the invention. See, for instance, Wilson et al., Cell 37:767-778 (1984) at 777.
[085] In specific embodiments, antibodies of the present invention bind antigenic epitope-bearing peptides and polypeptides of BLyS and preferably contain a sequence of at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, more preferably at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 13, at least 14, at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, and, most preferably, between about 15 to about 30 amino acids contained within the amino acid sequence of a BLyS polypeptide. Preferred polypeptides comprising immunogenic or antigenic epitopes are at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 amino acid residues in length.
Additional non-exclusive preferred antigenic epitopes include the antigenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as portions thereof.

[0861 Non-limiting examples of antigenic polypeptides or peptides that can be used to generate BLyS-specific antibodies and which may be bound by the antibodies of the invention include: a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Phe-115 to about Leu-147 in SEQ ID NO:3228; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ile-150 to about Tyr-163 in SEQ ID NO:3228; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ser-171 to about Phe-194 in SEQ ID NO:3228;
a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Glu-223 to about Tyr-246 in SEQ ID NO:3228; and a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ser-271 to about Phe-278 in Figures 1A and 113 (SEQ ID NO:3228). In this context, "about" means the particularly recited ranges and ranges larger or smaller by several, a few, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 amino acid residues at either or both the amino- and carboxy-termini. These polypeptide fragments have been determined to bear antigenic epitopes of the BLyS polypeptide by the analysis of the Jameson-Wolf antigenic index, as disclosed Table 9, above.
[087] Non-limiting examples of antigenic polypeptides or peptides that can be used to generate BLyS-specific antibodies and which may be bound by the antibodies of the invention include: a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Pro-32 to about Leu-47 in SEQ ID NO:3229; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Glu-116 to about Ser-143 in SEQ ID NO:3229; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Phe-153 to about Tyr-173 in SEQ ID NO:3229;
a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Pro-218 to about Tyr-227 in SEQ ID NO:3229; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ala-232 to about Gln-241 in SEQ
ID
NO:3229; a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ile-244 to about Ala-249 in SEQ ID NO:3229; and a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, amino acid residues from about Ser-252 to about Val-257 in SEQ ID NO:3229. In this context, "about" means the particularly recited ranges and ranges larger or smaller by several, a few, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 amino acid residues at either or both the amino- and carboxy-termini. These polypeptide fragments have been determined to bear antigenic epitopes of the BLyS polypeptide by the analysis of the Jameson-Wolf antigenic index, as disclosed in Table 10 generated by the Protean component of the DNA* STAR computer program (as set forth above).
[088] BLyS epitope-bearing peptides and polypeptides may be produced by any conventional means. See, e.g., Houghten, R. A. (1985) General method for the rapid solid-phase synthesis of large numbers of peptides: specificity of antigen-antibody interaction at the level of individual amino acids. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
82:5131-5135; this "Simultaneous Multiple. Peptide Synthesis (SMPS)" process is further described in U. S. Patent No. 4,631,211 to Houghten et al. (1986).
[089] The present invention encompasses antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an epitope of the polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3228, or an epitope of the polypeptide sequence encoded by a polynucleotide sequence contained in ATCC deposit No. 97768, or encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes to cDNA sequence contained in ATCC deposit No.

(e.g., under hybridization conditions described herein).
[090] The present invention also encompasses antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an epitope of the polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229, or an epitope of the polypeptide sequence encoded by a polynucleotide sequence contained in ATCC deposit No. 203518, or encoded by a , polynucleotide that hybridizes to the cDNA sequence contained in ATCC deposit No., 203518 (e.g., under hybridization conditions described herein).
[091] The term "epitopes," as used herein, refers to portions of a polypeptide having antigenic or immunogenic activity in an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably in a human. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention encompasses antibodies that bind a polypeptide comprising an epitope. An "immunogenic epitope," as used herein, is defined as a portion of a protein that elicits an antibody response in an animal, as determined by any method known in the art, for example, by the methods for generating antibodies described infra. (See, for example, Geysen et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad.
Sci. USA 81:3998- 4002 (1983)). The term "antigenic epitope," as used herein, is defined as a portion of a protein to which an antibody can immunospecifically bind its antigen as determined by any method well known in the art, for example, by the immunoassays described herein. Immunospecific binding excludes non-specific binding but does not necessarily exclude cross- reactivity with other antigens. Antigenic epitopes need not necessarily be immunogenic.
[092] BLyS polypeptide fragments which function as epitopes may be produced by any conventional means. (See, e.g., Houghten, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
82:5131-5135 (1985), further described in U.S. Patent No. 4,631,211).
[093] In the present invention, antibodies of the present invention bind antigenic epitopes preferably containing a sequence of at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, more preferably at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 13, at least 14, at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, and, most preferably, between about 15 to about 30 amino acids. Preferred polypeptides comprising immunogenic or antigenic epitopes that may be bound by antibodies of the present invention are'at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90,:95, or 100 amino acid residues in length. Additional non-exclusive preferred antigenic epitopes include the antigenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as portions thereof.
Antigenic epitopes are useful, for example, to raise antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies, that specifically-bind the epitope. Preferred antigenic epitopes include the antigenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as any combination of two, three, four, five or more of these antigenic epitopes. Antigenic epitopes can be used as the target molecules in immunoassays. (See, for instance, Wilson et al., Cell 37:767-778 (1984);
Sutcliffe et al., Science 219:660-666 (1983)).
[094] Similarly, immunogenic epitopes can be used, for example, to induce antibodies according to methods well known in the art. (See, for instance, Sutcliffe et al., supra; Wilson et al., supra; Chow et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:910-914 (1985); and Bittle et al., J. Gen. Virol. 66:2347-2354 (1985). Preferred immunogenic epitopes include the immunogenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as any combination of two, three, four, five or more of these immunogenic epitopes. The polypeptides comprising one or more immunogenic epitopes of BLyS may be presented for eliciting an antibody response together with a carrier protein, such as an albumin, to an animal system (such as rabbit or mouse), or, if the polypeptide is of sufficient length (at least about 25 amino acids), the polypeptide may be presented without a carrier. However, immunogenic epitopes comprising as few as 8 to 10 amino acids have been shown to be sufficient to raise antibodies capable of binding to, at the very least, linear epitopes in a denatured polypeptide (e.g., in Western blotting).

[095] Epitope-bearing BLyS polypeptides may be used to induce antibodies according to methods well known in the art including, but not limited to, in vivo immunization, in vitro immunization, and phage display methods. See, e.g., Sutcliffe et al., supra; Wilson et al., supra, and Bittle et al., J. Gen. Virol., 66:2347-2354 (1985). If in vivo immunization is used, animals may be immunized with free peptide;
however, anti-peptide antibody titer may be boosted by coupling the peptide to a macromolecular carrier, such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or tetanus toxoid. For instance, peptides containing cysteine residues may be coupled to a carrier using a linker such as maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS), while other peptides may be coupled to carriers using a more general linking agent such as glutaraldehyde.
Animals such as rabbits, rats and mice are immunized with either free or carrier-coupled peptides, for instance, by intraperitoneal and/or intradermal injection of emulsions containing about 100 micrograms of peptide or carrier protein and Freund's adjuvant or any other adjuvant known for stimulating an immune response. Several booster injections may be needed, for instance, at intervals of about two weeks, to provide auseful titer of anti-peptide antibody which can be detected, for example, by ELISA assay using free peptide adsorbed to a.solid surface. The titer of anti-peptide antibodies in serum from an immunized animal may be increased by selection of anti-peptide antibodies, for instance, by adsorption to the peptide on a solid support and elution of the selected antibodies according to methods well known in the art.
[096] As one of skill in the art will appreciate, and as discussed above, the antibodies of the present invention may bind polypeptides comprising an immunogenic or antigenic epitope fused to other polypeptide sequences. For example, the BLyS
polypeptides may be fused with the constant domain of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgE, IgG, IgM), or portions thereof (CHI, CH2, CH3, or any combination thereof and portions thereof), or albumin (including but not limited to recombinant human albumin or fragments or variants thereof (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,876,969, issued March 2,1999, EP Patent 0 413 622, and U.S. Patent No. 5,766,883, issued June 16,1998), resulting in chimeric polypeptides. Such fusion proteins may facilitate purification and may increase half-life in vivo. This has been shown for chimeric proteins consisting of the first two domains of the human CD4-polypeptide and various domains of the constant regions of the heavy or light chains of mammalian immunoglobulins. See, e.g., EP 394,827; Traunecker et al., Nature, 331:84-86 (1988). Enhanced delivery of an antigen across the epithelial barrier to the immune system has been demonstrated for antigens (e.g., insulin) conjugated to an FcRn binding partner such as IgG or Fe fragments (see, e.g., PCT Publications WO 96/22024 and WO
99/04813). IgG Fusion proteins that have a disulfide-linked dimeric structure due to the IgG portion disulfide bonds have also been found to be more efficient in binding and neutralizing other molecules than monomeric polypeptides or fragments thereof alone.
See, e.g., Fountoulakis et al., J. Biochem., 270:3958-3964 (1995). Nucleic acids encoding the above epitopes can also be recombined with a gene of interest as an epitope tag (e.g., the hemagglutinin ("HA") tag or flag tag) to aid in detection and purification of the expressed polypeptide. For example, a system described by-Janknecht et al.
allows for the ready purification of non-denatured fusion proteins expressed in human cell lines (Janknecht et al., 1991, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:8972- 897): In this system, the gene of interest is subcloned into a vaccinia recombination plasmid such that the open reading frame of the gene is translationally fused to an amino-terminal tag consisting of six histidine residues. The tag serves as a matrix-binding domain for the fusion protein.
Extracts from cells infected with the recombinant vaccinia virus are loaded onto Ni2+
nitriloacetic acid-agarose column and histidine-tagged proteins can be selectively eluted with imidazole-containing buffers.
[097] In another embodiment, the antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS
polypeptides and/or the epitope-bearing fragments thereof that are fused with a heterologous antigen (e.g., polypeptide, carbohydrate, phospholipid, or nucleic acid). In specific embodiments, the heterologous antigen is an immunogen.
[098] In a more specific embodiment, the heterologous antigen is the gpl20 protein of HIV, or a fragment thereof.
[099] . In another embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS
polypeptides and/or the epitope-bearing fragments thereof that are fused with polypeptide sequences of another TNF ligand family member (or biologically active fragments or variants thereof). In a specific embodiment, the antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS polypeptides of the present invention are fused with a CD40L polypeptide sequence.
In a preferred embodiment, the CD40L polypeptide sequence is soluble.
[0100] In another embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind mutant BLyS polypeptides that have been generated by random mutagenesis of a polynucleotide encoding the BLyS polypeptide, by error-prone PCR, random nucleotide insertion or other methods prior to recombination. In another embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind one or more components, motifs, sections, parts, domains, fragments, etc., of BLyS recombined with one or more components, motifs, sections, parts, domains, fragments, etc. of one or more heterologous molecules. In preferred embodiments, the heterologous molecules are, for example, TNF-alpha, lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha, also known as TNF-beta), LT-beta (found in complex heterotrimer LT-alpha2-beta), OPGL, FasL, CD27L, CD30L, CD40L, 4-1BBL, DcR3, OX40L, TNF-gamma (International Publication No. WO 96/14328), AIM-I (International Publication No. WO
97/33899), AIM-II (International Publication No. WO 97/34911), APRIL (Hahne et al., J.
Exp. Med. 188(6):
1185-1190 (1998)), endokine-alpha (International Publication No. WO 98/07880), OPG, 0X40, and nerve growth factor (NGF), and soluble forms of Fas, CD30, CD27, CD40 and 4-IBB, TR2 (International Publication No. WO 96/34095), DR3 (International Publication No.
WO 97/33904), DR4 (International Publication No. WO 98/32856), TR5 (International Publication No. WO 98/30693), TR6 (International Publication No. WO 98/30694), (International Publication No. WO 98/41629), TRANK, TR9 (International Publication No. WO 98/56892), TR1 0 (International Publication No. WO 98/54202),312C2 (International Publication No. WO 98/06842), TR12, CAD, and v-FLIP. In further embodiments, the heterologous molecules are any member of the TNF family.
[0101] In another preferred embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS polypeptides of the invention (including biologically active fragments or variants thereof), that are fused with soluble APRIL polypeptides (e.g., amino acid residues 105 through 250 of SEQ ID NO:3239), or biologically active fragments or variants thereof.
[0102] To improve or alter the characteristics of BLyS polypeptides, protein engineering may be employed. Recombinant DNA technology known to those skilled in the art can be used to create novel mutant proteins or "muteins including single or multiple amino acid substitutions, deletions, additions or fusion proteins. Such modified polypeptides can show, e.g., enhanced activity or increased stability. In addition, they may be purified in higher yields and show better solubility than the corresponding natural polypeptide, at least under certain purification and storage conditions. For instance, for many proteins, including the extracellular domain or the mature form(s) of a secreted protein, it is known in the art that one or more amino acids may be deleted from the N-terminus or C-terminus without substantial loss of biological function. For instance, Ron et al., J. Biol. Chem., 268:2984-2988 (1993) reported modified KGF
proteins that had heparin binding activity even if 3, 8, or 27 amino-terminal amino acid residues were missing. Accordingly, antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS
polypeptide mutants or variants generated by protein engineering.
[0103] In the present case, since the protein of the invention is a member of the TNF polypeptide family, deletions of N-terminal amino acids up to the Gly (G) residue at position 191 in SEQ ID NO:3228 may retain some biological activity such as, for example, the ability to stimulate lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, and cytotoxicity to appropriate target cells. Polypeptides having further N-terminal deletions including the Gly (G) residue would not be expected to retain ' ;
biological activities because it is known that this residue in TNF-related polypeptides is in the beginning of the conserved domain required for biological activities.
However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus of a protein results in modification or loss of one or more biological functions of the protein, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of the shortened protein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or extracellular domain of the protein generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or extracellular domain of the protein are removed from the N-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal residues of a complete protein retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[0104] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the amino acid sequence of the BLyS of SEQ ID NO:3228, up to the glycine residue at position 191 (Gly-191 residue from the amino terminus). In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, the amino acid sequence of residues n'-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228, where n1 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 2-190 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID
NO:3228. More in particular, the invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of residues 2-285, 3-285, 4-285, 5-285, 6-285, 7-285, 8-285, 9-285, 10-285, 11-285, 12-285, 13-285, 14-285, 15-285, 16-285, 17-285, 18-285, 19-285, 20-285, 21-285, 22-285, 23-285, 24-285, 25-285, 26-285, 27-285, 28-285, 29-285, 30-285, 31-285, 32-285, 33-285, 34-285, 35-285, 36-285, 37-285, 38-285, 39-285, 40-285, 41-285, 42-285, 43-285, 44-285, 45-285, 46-285, 47-285, 48-285, 49-285, 50-285, 51-285, 52-285, 53-285, 54-285, 55-285, 56-285, 57-285, 58-285, 59-285, 60-285, 61-285, 62-285, 63-285, 64-285, 65-285, 66-285, 67-285, 68-285, 69-285, 70-285, 71-285, 72-285, 73-285, 74-285, 75-285, 76-285, 77-285, 78-285, 79-285, 80-285, 81-285, 82-285, 83-285, 84-285, 85-285, 86-285, 87-285, 88-285, 89-285, 90-285, 91-285, 92-285, 93-285, 94-285, 95-285, 96-285, 97-285, 98-285, 99-285, 100-285, 101-285, 102-285, 103-285, 104-285, 105-285, 106-285, 107-285, 108-285, 109-285, 110-285, 111-285, 112-285, 113-285, 114-285, 115-285, 116-285, 117-285, 118-285, 119-285, 120-285, 121-285, 122-285, 123-285, 124-285, 125-285, 126-285, 127-285, 128-285, 129-285, 130-285, 131-285, 132-285, 133-285, 134-285, 135-285, 136-285, 137-285, 138-285, 139-285, 140-285, 141-285, 142-285, 143-285, 144-285, 145-285, 146-285, 147-285, 148-285, 149-285, 150-285, 151-285, 152-285, 153-285, 154-285, 155-285, 156-285, 157-285, 158-285, 159-285, 160-285, 161-285, 162-285, 163-285, 164-285, 165-285, 166-285, 167-285, 168-285, 169-285, 170-285, 171-285, 172-285, 173-285, 174-285, 175-285, 176-285, 177-285, 178-285, 179-285, 180-285, 181-285, 182-285, 183-285, 184-285, 185-285, 186-285, 187-285, 188-285, 189-285, and of SEQ ID NO:3228. The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS
polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0105] Furthermore, since the predicted extracellular domain of the BLyS
polypeptides of the invention may itself elicit biological activity, deletions of N- and C-terminal amino acid residues from the predicted extracellular region of the polypeptide (spanning positions Gln-73 to Leu-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228) may retain some biological activity such as, for example, ligand binding, stimulation of lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, and modulation of cell replication or modulation of target cell activities. However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus of the predicted extracellular domain of a BLyS
polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more biological functions of the polypeptide, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of the shortened polypeptides to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or mature or extracellular domains of the polypeptides generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or mature or extracellular domains of the polypeptides are removed from the N-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal residues of a complete polypeptide retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[0106] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the amino acid sequence of BLyS shown in SEQ ID NO:3228, up to the glycine residue at position number 280. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, the amino acid sequence of residues n2-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228, where n2 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 73-280 in SEQ ID NO:3228, and 73 is the position of the first residue from the N-terminus of the predicted extracellular domain of the BLyS
polypeptide (disclosed in SEQ ID NO:3228).

The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0107] Highly preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence least 80%, 85%, 90% identical and more preferably at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical to BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228.
[0108] Preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228. More preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 95%
identical to a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID
NO:3228. More preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 96% identical to a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228.
[0109] Additionally, more preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 97% to a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228. Additionally, more preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 98% to a BLyS polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228. Additionally, more preferred embodiments of the invention are directed to antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 99% identical to BLyS
polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at positions 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228.
[0110] In specific embodiments, antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, one of the following N-terminally deleted polypeptide fragments of BLyS: amino acid residues Ala-71 through Leu-285, amino acid residues Ala-81 through Leu-285, amino acid residues Leu-112 through Leu-285, amino acid residues Ala-134 through Leu-285, amino acid residues Leu-through Leu-285, and amino acid residues Gly-161 through Leu-285 of SEQ ID
NO:3228.
[0111] Similarly, many examples of biologically functional C-terminal deletion polypeptides are known. For instance, Interferon gamma shows up to ten times higher activities by deleting 8-10 amino acid residues from the carboxy terminus of the protein (Dobeli et al., J. Biotechnology 7:199-216 (1988). Since the present protein is a member of the TNF polypeptide family, deletions of C-terminal amino acids up to the leucine residue at position 284 are expected to retain most if not all biological activity such as, for example, ligand binding, the ability to stimulate lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, and modulation of cell replication.
Polypeptides having deletions of up to about 10 additional C-terminal residues (i.e., up to the glycine residue at position 274) also may retain some activity such as receptor binding, although such polypeptides would lack a portion of the conserved TNF domain which extends to about Leu-284 of SEQ ID NO:3228. However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of a protein results in modification or loss of one or more biological functions of the protein, other functional activities may still be retained.
Thus, the ability of the shortened protein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or mature protein generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or mature protein are removed from the C-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking C-terminal residues of a complete protein retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[0112] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the carboxy terminus of the amino acid sequence of the BLyS polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3228, up to the glycine residue at position 274 (Gly-274). In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, the amino acid sequence of residues 1-ml of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3228, where ml is any integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 274-284 in SEQ ID
NO:3228.
More in particular, the invention provides antibodies that bind BLyS
polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of residues 1-274, 1-275, 1-276, 1-277, 1-278, 1-279, 1-280, 1-281, 1-282, 1-283 and 1-284 of SEQ ID NO:3228. The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0113] Also provided are antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, BLyS polypeptides with one or more amino acids deleted from both the amino and the carboxyl termini, which may be described generally as having residues n1-m1 of SEQ ID NO:3228, where nl and m1 are integers as defined above. Also included are antibodies that bind a polypeptide comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a portion of the complete BLyS amino acid sequence encoded by the deposited cDNA
clone contained in ATCC Accession No. 97768 where this portion excludes from 1 to amino acids from the amino terminus or from 1 to 11 amino acids from the C-terminus of the complete amino acid sequence (or any combination of these N-terminal and C-terminal deletions) encoded by the cDNA clone in the deposited plasmid.
[0114] Similarly, deletions of C-tenninal amino acid residues of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS up to the leucine residue at position 79 of SEQ
ID NO:3228 may retain some biological activity, such as, for example, ligand binding, stimulation of lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, and modulation of cell replication or modulation of target cell activities. Polypeptides having further C-terminal deletions including Leu-79 of SEQ ID NO:3228 would not be expected to retain biological activities.
[0115] However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of a polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more biological functions of the polypeptide, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of the shortened polypeptide to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete, mature or extracellular forms of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete, mature or extracellular forms of the polypeptide are removed from the C-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking C-terminal residues of the predicted extracellular domain retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[0116] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the carboxy terminus of the amino acid sequence of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS polypeptide shown in SEQ
ID NO:3228, up to the leucine residue at position 79 of SEQ ID NO:3228. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, the amino acid sequence of residues 73-m2 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3228, where m2 is any integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 79 to 285 in the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID
NO:3228, and residue 78 is the position of the first residue at the C- terminus of the predicted extracellular domain of the BLyS polypeptide (disclosed in SEQ ID NO:3228).

The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0117] The invention also provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or, more amino acids deleted from both the amino and the carboxyl termini of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS, which may be described generally as having residues n2-m2 of SEQ ID NO:3228 where n2 and m2 are integers as defined above.
[0118] In another embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides consisting of a portion of the extracellular domain of the BLyS
amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA plasmid contained in the deposit having ATCC
accession no. 97768, where this portion excludes from 1 to about 206 amino acids from the amino terminus of the extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA
plasmid contained in the deposit having ATCC accession no. 97768, or from 1 to about 206 amino acids from the carboxy terminus of the extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA plasmid contained in the deposit having ATCC
accession no. 97768, or any combination of the above amino terminal and carboxy terminal deletions, of the entire extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA plasmid contained in the deposit having ATCC accession no. 97768.
[0119] As mentioned above, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus of a polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities (e.g., biological activity) of the polypeptide, other functions or biological activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of a shortened BLyS mutein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the full-length or mature forms or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the full-length or mature or extracellular domain of the polypeptide are removed from the N-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal residues of a complete polypeptide retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
It is not unlikely that a BLyS mutein with a large number of deleted N-terminal amino acid residues may retain some functional (e.g., biological or immunogenic) activities. In fact, peptides composed of as few as six BLyS amino acid residues may often evoke an immune response.
[0120] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the predicted full-length amino acid sequence of the BLyS shown in SEQ ID NO:3228, up to the glycine residue at position number 280 of the sequence shown SEQ ID
NO:3228 and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of residues n3-285 of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228, where n3 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 1 to 280 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ
ID NO:3228.

identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0122] Also as mentioned above, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of a protein results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities (e.g., biological activity) of the protein, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of a shortened BLyS mutein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or mature form or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or mature form or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide are removed from the C-terminus.

In fact, peptides composed of as few as six BLyS amino acid residues may often evoke an immune response.
[0123] Accordingly, the present invention further provides in another embodiment, antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the carboxy terminus of the amino acid sequence of the BLyS shown in SEQ ID NO:3228, up to the glutamic acid residue at position number 6, and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of residues 1-m3 of SEQ ID
NO:3228, where m3 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 6-284 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3228.

M-1 to Q-9; M-1 to E-8; M-1 to R-7; and M-1 to E-6 of SEQ ID NO:3228. The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS
polypeptides described above.
[01251 The invention also provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more amino acids deleted from both the amino and the carboxyl termini of a BLyS
polypeptide, which may be described generally as having residues n3-m3 of SEQ
ID
NO:3228, where n3 and m3 are integers as defined above.
[01261 Furthermore, since the predicted extracellular domain of the BLyS

polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3229 may itself elicit functional activity (e.g., biological activity), deletions of N- and C-terminal amino acid residues from the predicted extracellular region of the polypeptide at positions Gln-73 to Leu-266 of SEQ
ID
NO:3229 may retain some functional activity, such as, for example, ligand binding, to stimulation of lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, modulation of cell replication, modulation of target cell activities and/or immunogenicity.
However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus of the predicted extracellular domain of a BLyS polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities of the polypeptide, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of the shortened polypeptides to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or mature or extracellular domains of the polypeptides generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or mature or extracellular domains of the polypeptides are removed from the N-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal residues of a complete polypeptide retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[01271 Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the amino acid sequence of BLyS shown in SEQ ID NO:3229, up to the glycine residue at position number 261. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of residues n4-266 of SEQ ID
NO:3229, where n4 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 73-261 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3229, and 261 is the position of the first residue from the N-terminus of the predicted extracellular domain BLyS
polypeptide (shown in SEQ ID NO:3229).
[01281 More in particular, in certain embodiments, the invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of residues of Q-73 to L-266; G-74 to L-266;

D-256 to L-266; V-257 to L-266; T-258 to L-266; F-259 to L-266; F-260 to L-266; and G-261 to L-266 of SEQ ID NO:3229. The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0129] Similarly, deletions of C-terminal amino acid residues of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS up to the leucine residue at position 79 of SEQ
ID NO:3229 may retain some functional activity, such as, for example, ligand binding, the ability to stimulate lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation, modulation of cell replication, modulation of target cell activities and/or immunogenicity.
Polypeptides having further C-terminal deletions including Leu-79 of SEQ ID
NO:3229 would not be expected to retain biological activities.
[0130] However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of a polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities (e.g., biological activity) of the polypeptide, other functional activities may still be retained.
Thus, the ability of the shortened polypeptide to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete, mature or extracellular forms of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete, mature or extracellular forms of the polypeptide are removed from the C-terminus.
Whether a particular polypeptide lacking C-terminal residues of the predicted extracellular domain retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
[0131] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues from the carboxy terminus of the amino acid sequence of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS shown in SEQ ID
NO:3229, up to the leucine residue at position 79 of SEQ ID NO:3229. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having the amino acid sequence of residues 73-m4 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3229, where m4 is any integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 79-265 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3229.
[0132] More in particular, in certain embodiments, the invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of residues Q-73 to L-265; Q-73 to K-264;

The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0133] The invention also provides polypeptides having one or more amino acids deleted from both the amino and the carboxyl termini of the predicted extracellular domain of BLyS, which may be described generally as having residues n4-m4 of SEQ ID
NO:3229 where n4 and m4 are integers as defined above.
[0134] In another embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides consisting of a portion of the extracellular domain of the BLyS
amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA clone contained in the deposit having ATCC
Accession No. 203518, where this portion excludes from 1 to about 260 amino acids from the amino terminus of the extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by cDNA clone contained in the deposit having ATCC Accession No. 203518, or from 1 to about amino acids, from the carboxy terminus of the extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by cDNA clone contained in the deposit having ATCC Accession No.
203518, or any combination of the above amino terminal and carboxy terminal deletions, of the entire extracellular domain of the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA clone contained in the deposit having ATCC Accession No: 203518.
[0135] As mentioned above, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus of a polypeptide results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities (e.g., biological activity) of the polypeptide, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of a shortened BLyS polypeptide to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the full-length or mature forms or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the full-length or mature or extracellular domain of the polypeptide are removed from the N-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal residues of a complete polypeptide retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art. It is not unlikely that a BLyS
mutein with a large number of deleted N-terminal amino acid residues may retain functional (e.g., immunogenic) activities. In fact, peptides composed of as few as six BLyS amino acid residues may often evoke an immune response.
[0136] Accordingly, the present invention further provides antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the predicted full-length amino acid sequence of the BLyS polypeptide shown in SEQ
ID
NO:3229, up to the glycine residue at position number 261 of the sequence shown SEQ ID
NO:3229 and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of residues n5-266 of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3229, where n5 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 1 to 261 of the amino acid sequence in SEQ ID NO:3229.
[0137] More in particular, the invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of residues of D-2 to L-266; D-3 to L-266; S-4 to L-266; T-5 to L-266; E-6 to L-266; R-7 to L-266; E-8 to L-266; Q-9 to L-266; S-10 to L-266; R 11 to L-266;

The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.

[0138] Also as mentioned above, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the C-terminus of a protein results in modification or loss of one or more functional activities (e.g., biological activities) of the protein, other functional activities may still be retained. Thus, the ability of a shortened BLyS mutein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the complete or mature form or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide generally will be retained when less than the majority of the residues of the complete or mature form or the extracellular domain of the polypeptide are removed from the C-terminus. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking C-terminal residues of a .
complete polypeptide retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art. It is not unlikely that a BLyS mutein with a large number of deleted C-terminal amino acid residues may retain some functional (e.g., immunogenic) activities. In fact, peptides composed of as few as six BLyS amino acid residues may often evoke an immune response.
[0139] Accordingly, the present invention further provides in another embodiment, antibodies that bind polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the carboxy terminus of the amino acid sequence of the BLyS shown in SEQ ID NO:3229, up to the glutamic acid residue at position number 6, and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. In particular, the present invention provides antibodies that bind polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of residues 1-m5 of SEQ ID
NO:3229, where m5 is an integer in the range of the amino acid position of amino acid residues 6 to 265 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229.

The present invention is also directed to antibodies that bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively, consisting of, a contiguous sequence of amino acid residues at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of BLyS polypeptides described above.
[0146] It will be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art that some amino acid sequences of the BLyS polypeptides can be varied without significant effect of the structure or function of the polypeptide. If such differences in sequence are contemplated, it should be remembered that there will be critical areas on the polypeptide which determine activity.
[0147] Thus, the invention further includes antibodies that bind variations of BLyS
polypeptides which show BLyS polypeptide functional activity (e.g., biological activity) or which include regions of BLyS polypeptide such as the polypeptide fragments described herein. Such mutants include deletions, insertions, inversions, repeats, and type substitutions selected according to general rules known in the art so as have little effect on activity. For example, guidance concerning how to make phenotypically silent amino acid substitutions is provided in Bowie, J. U. et at., "Deciphering the Message in Protein Sequences: Tolerance to Amino Acid Substitutions," Science 247:1306-1310 (1990), wherein the authors indicate that there are two main approaches for studying the tolerance of an amino acid sequence to change. The first method relies on the process of evolution, in which mutations are either accepted or rejected by natural selection. The second approach uses genetic engineering to introduce amino acid changes at specific positions of a cloned gene and selections or screens to identify sequences that maintain functionality.
[0148] As the authors state, these studies have revealed that proteins are surprisingly tolerant of amino acid substitutions. The authors further indicate which amino acid changes are likely to be permissive at a certain position of the protein. For example, most buried amino acid residues require nonpolar side chains, whereas few features of surface side chains are generally conserved. Other such phenotypically silent substitutions, are described in Bowie, J. U. et al., supra, and the references cited therein.
Typically seen as conservative substitutions are the replacements, one for another, among the aliphatic amino acids Ala, Val, Leu and Ile; interchange of the hydroxyl residues. Ser and Thr, exchange of the acidic residues Asp and Glu, substitution between the amide residues Asn and Gln, exchange of the basic residues Lys and Arg and replacements among the aromatic residues Phe, Tyr.
[0149] Thus, antibodies of the present invention may bind fragments, derivatives or analogs of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3228, or that encoded by the deposited cDNA plasmid, such as (i) polypeptides in which one or more of the amino acid residues are substituted with a conserved or non-conserved amino acid residue (preferably a conserved amino acid residue) and such substituted amino acid residue may or may not be one encoded by the genetic code, or (ii) polypeptides in which one or more of the amino acid residues includes a substituent group, or (iii) polypeptides in which the extracellular domain of the polypeptide is fused with another compound, such as a compound to increase the half-life of the polypeptide (for example, polyethylene glycol), or (iv) polypeptides in which the additional amino acids are fused to the extracellular domain of the polypeptide, such as an IgG Fc fusion region peptide or leader or secretory sequence or a sequence which is employed for purification of the extracellular domain of the polypeptide or a proprotein sequence.
[0150] Antibodies of the present invention may bind fragments, derivatives or analogs of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3229, or that encoded by the deposited cDNA

plasmid, such as (i) polypeptides in which one or more of the amino acid residues are substituted with a conserved or non-conserved amino acid residue (preferably a conserved amino acid residue) and such substituted amino acid residue may or may not be one encoded by the genetic code, or (ii) polypeptides in which one or more of the amino acid residues includes a substituent group, or (iii) polypeptides in which the extracellular domain of the polypeptide is fused with another compound, such as a compound to increase the half-life of the polypeptide (for example, polyethylene glycol), or (iv) polypeptides in which the additional amino acids are fused to the extracellular domain of the polypeptide, such as, a soluble biologically active fragment of another TNF ligand family member (e.g., CD40 Ligand), an IgG Fc fusion region peptide or leader or secretory sequence or a sequence which is employed for purification of the extracellular domain of the polypeptide or a proprotein sequence. Such fragments, derivatives and analogs are deemed to be within the scope of those skilled in the art from the teachings herein.
[0151] Thus, the antibodies of the invention may bind BLyS polypeptides that include one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions, either from natural mutations or human manipulation. As indicated, changes are preferably of a minor nature, such as conservative amino acid substitutions that do not significantly affect the folding or activity of the protein (see Table 13).

In one embodiment of the invention, antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, the amino acid sequence of a BLyS polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which contains at least one conservative amino acid substitution; but not more than 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 conservative amino acid substitutions.
[0178] For example, site directed changes at the amino acid level of BLyS can be made by replacing a particular amino acid with a conservative substitution.

[0180] In another embodiment, site directed changes at the amino acid level of BLyS can be made by replacing a particular amino acid with a conservative substitution.
Antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS amino acid sequences containing conservative substitution mutations of the polypeptide of any one of SEQ ID
NOS:3230-3237.
[0181] Amino acids in the BLyS polypeptides that are essential for function can be identified by methods known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, Science 244:1081-1085 (1989)).
The latter procedure introduces single alanine mutations at every residue in the molecule.
The resulting mutant molecules are then tested for functional activity, such ligand binding and the ability to stimulate lymphocyte (e.g., B cell) as, for example, proliferation, differentiation, and/or activation. Accordingly, antibodies of the present invention may bind amino acids in the BLyS polypeptides that are essential for function. In preferred embodiments, antibodies of the present invention bind amino acids in the BLyS
polypeptides that are essential for function and inhibit BLyS polypeptide function. In other preferred embodiments, antibodies of the present invention bind amino acids in the BLyS polypeptides that are essential for function and enhance BLyS polypeptide function.
[0182] Of special interest are substitutions of charged amino acids with other charged or neutral amino acids which may produce proteins with highly desirable improved characteristics, such as less aggregation. Aggregation may not only reduce activity but also be problematic when preparing pharmaceutical formulations, because aggregates can be immunogenic (Pinckard et al., Clin. Exp. fmmunol. 2:331-340 (1967);
Robbins et al., Diabetes 36: 83 8-845 (1987); Cleland et al., Crit. Rev.
Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems 10:307-377 (1993).
[0183] In another embodiment, the invention provides for antibodies that bind polypeptides having amino acid sequences containing non-conservative substitutions of the amino acid sequence provided in SEQ ID NO:3228. For example, non-conservative substitutions of the BLyS protein sequence provided in SEQ ID NO:3228 include:

[0186] In another embodiment, site directed changes at the amino acid level of BLyS can be made by replacing a particular amino acid with a non-conservative substitution. Antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS amino acid sequences containing non-conservative substitution mutations of the polypeptide of any one of SEQ

ID NOS:3230-3237.
[0187] In an additional embodiment, antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a BLyS amino acid sequence in which more than one amino acid (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50) is replaced with the substituted amino acids as described above (either conservative or nonconservative).
[0188] Replacement of amino acids can also change the selectivity of the binding of a ligand to cell surface receptors. For example, Ostade et al., Nature 361:266-268 (1993) describes certain mutations resulting in selective binding of TNF-alpha to only one of the two known types of TNF receptors. Since BLyS is a member of the TNF
polypeptide family, mutations similar to those in TNF-alpha are likely to have similar effects in BLyS polypeptides.
[0189] Sites that are critical for ligand-receptor binding can also be determined by structural analysis such as crystallization, nuclear magnetic resonance or photoaffinity labeling (Smith et al., J. Mol. Biol. 224:899-904 (1992) and de Vos et al.
Science 255:306-312 (1992)).
[0190] Since BLyS is a member of the TNF-related protein family, mutations may be made in sequences encoding amino acids in the TNF conserved domain, e.g., in positions Gly-191 through Leu-284 of SEQ ID NO:3228 or in positions Gly-172 through Leu-265 of SEQ ID NO:3229, may modulate rather than completely eliminate functional activities (e.g., biological activities) of BLyS polypeptides or fragments or variants thereof. Accordingly, antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS
polypeptides that have mutations in the TNF conserved domain. In preferred embodiments, antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS polypeptides that have mutations in the TNF
conserved domain and act as antagonists of BLyS. In other preferred embodiments, antibodies of the present invention may bind BLyS polypeptides that have mutations in the TNF conserved domain and act as agonists of BLyS.
[0191] Recombinant DNA technology known to those skilled in the art (see, for instance, DNA shuffling supra) can be used to create novel mutant proteins or muteins including single or multiple amino acid substitutions, deletions, additions or fusion proteins. Such modified polypeptides can show, e.g., enhanced activity or increased stability. In addition, they may be purified in higher yields and show better solubility than the corresponding natural polypeptide, at least under certain purification and storage conditions.
[0192] Thus, the invention also encompasses antibodies that bind BLyS
derivatives and analogs that have one or more amino acid residues deleted, added, or substituted to generate BLyS polypeptides, e.g., that are better suited for expression, scale up, etc., in the host cells. For example, cysteine residues can be deleted or substituted with another amino acid residue in order to eliminate disulfide bridges; N-linked glycosylation sites can be altered or eliminated to achieve, for example, expression of a homogeneous product that is more easily recovered and purified from yeast hosts which are known to hyperglycosylate N-linked sites. To this end, a variety of amino acid substitutions at one or both of the first or third amino acid positions on any one or more of the glycosylation recognition sequences in the BLyS polypeptides of the invention, and/or an amino acid deletion at the second position of any one or more such recognition sequences will prevent glycosylation of the BLyS at the modified tripeptide sequence (see, e.g., Miyajimo et al., EMBO J 5(6):1193-1197). By way of non-limiting example, mutation of the serine at position 244 to alanine either singly or in combination with mutation of the asparagine at position 242 to glutamine abolishes glycosylation of the mature soluble form of BLyS (e.g., amino acids 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228) when expressed in the yeast Pichea pastoris. A mutant BLyS polypeptide in which only the asparagine at position 242 is mutated to glutamine, is still gycosylated when expressed in Pichea pastoris. In this mutant, the glycosylation event may be due to the activation or unmasking of an O-linked glyscosylation site at serine 244. Similar mutations affecting glycosylation could also be made in the BLyS polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3229, i.e., aspargine-223 to glutamine and/or serine-224 to alanine of SEQ ID NO:3229.
Additionally, one or more of the amino acid residues of the polypeptides of the invention (e.g., arginine and lysine residues) may be deleted or substituted with another residue to eliminate undesired processing by proteases such as, for example, furins or kexins. One possible result of such a mutation is that BLyS polypeptide of the invention is not cleaved and released from the cell surface. Accordingly, antibodies of the invention may bind BLyS derivatives and analogs that have one or more amino acid residues deleted, added, or substituted. In other embodiments, antibodies of the invention may bind BLyS
derivatives, variants or analogs that are unable to be cleaved from the cell surface.

[0193] In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS
polypeptides in which Lys-132 and/or Arg-133 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ
ID
NO:3228 is mutated to another amino acid residue, or deleted altogether, to prevent or diminish release of the soluble form of BLyS from cells expressing BLyS. In a more specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS polypeptides in which Lys-132 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228 is mutated to Ala-132. In another, nonexclusive specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS
polypeptides in which Arg-133 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228 is mutated to Ala-133. These mutated proteins, and/or have uses such as, for example, in ex vivo therapy or gene therapy, to engineer cells expressing a BLyS polypeptide that is retained on the surface of the engineered cells.
[0194] In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS
polypeptides in which Cys-146 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228 is mutated to another amino acid residue, or deleted altogether, for example, to aid preventing or diminishing oligomerization of the mutant BLyS polypeptide when expressed in an expression system. In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS polypeptides in which Cys-146 is replaced with a serine amino acid residue.
[0195] In another specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS
polypeptides in which Cys-232 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228 is mutated to another amino acid residue, or deleted altogether, for example, to aid preventing or diminishing oligomerization of the mutant BLyS polypeptide when expressed in an expression system. In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS polypeptides in which Cys-232 is replaced with a serine amino acid residue.
Polypeptides encoding these polypeptides are also encompassed by the invention.
[0196] In yet another specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS
polypeptides in which Cys-245 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228 is mutated to another amino acid residue, or deleted altogether, for example, to aid preventing or diminishing oligomerization of the mutant BLyS polypeptide when expressed in an expression system. In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention bind BLyS polypeptides in which Cys-245 is replaced with a serine amino acid residue.
Polypeptides encoding these polypeptides are also encompassed by the invention.
[0197] The polypeptides of the present invention are preferably provided in an isolated form, and preferably are substantially purified. A recombinantly produced version of the BLyS polypeptides can be substantially purified by the one-step method described in Smith and Johnson, Gene 67:31-40 (1988).
[0198] The antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS polypeptides including the complete polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA (ATCC Deposit No.
97768) including the intracellular, transmembrane and extracellular domains of the polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA, the mature soluble polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA, the extracellular domain minus the intracellular and transmembrane domains of the protein, the complete polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3228, the mature soluble polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3228, e.g., amino acids 134-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228, the extracellular domain of SEQ ID NO:3228, amino acid residues 73-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228 minus the intracellular and transmembrane domains, as well as polypeptides which have at least 80%, 85%, 90% similarity, more preferably at least 95% similarity, and still more preferably at least 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% similarity to those described above.
Polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides are also encompassed by the invention.
[0199] The antibodies of the present invention bind BLyS polypeptides including the complete polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA including the intracellular, transmembrane and extracellular domains of the polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA (ATCC Deposit No. 203518), the mature soluble polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA, the extracellular domain minus the intracellular and transmembrane domains of the protein, the complete polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3229, the mature soluble of SEQ ID NO:3229, e.g., amino acid residues 134-266 of SEQ ID NO:3229, the extracellular domain of SEQ ID NO:3229, e.g., amino acid residues 73-266 of SEQ ID
NO:3229 minus the intracellular and transmembrane domains, as well as polypeptides which have at least 80%, 85%, 90% similarity, more preferably at least 95%
similarity, and still more preferably at least 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% similarity to those described above. Polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides are also encompassed by the invention.

ID NO:3228, and also include antibodies that bind portions of such polypeptides with at least 30 amino acids and more preferably at least 50 amino acids.
[0201] Further antibodies of the present invention bind polypeptides including polypeptides at least 80%, or at least 85% identical, more preferably at least 90% or 95%
identical, still more preferably at least 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the polypeptide encoded by the deposited cDNA (ATCC Deposit No. 203518) or to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:3229, and also include antibodies that bind portions of such polypeptides with at least 30 amino acids and more preferably at least 50 amino acids.
Polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides are also encompassed by the invention.
[0202] By "% similarity" for two polypeptides is intended a similarity score produced by comparing the amino acid sequences of the two polypeptides using the Bestfit program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, 575 Science Drive, Madison, WI
53711) and the default settings for. determining similarity. Bestfit uses the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (Advances in Applied Mathematics 2:482-489, 1981) to find the best segment of similarity between two sequences.
[0203] By a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least, for example, 95%
"identical" to a reference amino acid sequence of a BLyS polypeptide is intended that the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide is identical to the reference sequence except that the polypeptide sequence may include up to five amino acid alterations per each 100 amino acids of the reference amino acid of the BLyS polypeptide. In other words, to obtain a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to a reference amino acid sequence, up to 5% of the amino acid residues in the reference sequence may be deleted or substituted with another amino acid, or a number of amino acids up to 5% of the total amino acid residues in the reference sequence may be inserted into the reference sequence. These alterations of the reference sequence may occur at the amino or carboxy terminal positions of the reference amino acid sequence or anywhere between those terminal positions, interspersed either individually among residues in the reference sequence or in one or more contiguous groups within the reference sequence.
[0204] As a practical matter, whether any particular polypeptide is at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to, for instance, the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3228, the amino acid sequence encoded by the deposited cDNA

clone HNEDU15 (ATCC Accession No. 97768), or fragments thereof, or, for instance, to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3229, the amino acid sequence encoded by the deposited cDNA clone HDPMC52 (ATCC Accession No. 203518), or fragments thereof, can be determined conventionally using known computer programs such the Bestfit program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, 575 Science Drive, Madison, WI 53711). When using Bestfit or any other sequence alignment program to determine whether a particular sequence is, for instance, 95% identical to a reference sequence according to the present invention, the parameters are set, of course, such that the percentage of identity is calculated over the full length of the reference amino acid sequence and that gaps in homology of up to 5% of the total number of amino acid residues in the reference sequence are allowed.
[0205] In a specific embodiment, the identity between a reference (query) sequence (a sequence of the present invention) and a subject sequence, also referred to as a global sequence alignment, is determined using the FASTDB computer program based on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. (Comp. App. Biosci. 6:237-245 (1990)).
Preferred parameters used in a FASTDB amino acid alignment are: Matrix=PAM 0, k-tuple=2, Mismatch Penalty=l, Joining Penalty=20, Randomization Group Length=0, Cutoff Score=l, Window Size=sequence length, Gap Penalty=5, Gap Size Penalty=0.05, Window Size=500 or the length of the subject amino acid sequence, whichever is shorter.
According to this embodiment, if the subject sequence is shorter than the query sequence due to N- or C-terminal deletions, not because of internal deletions, a manual correction is made to the results to take into consideration the fact that the FASTDB
program does not account for N- and C-terminal truncations of the subject sequence when calculating global percent identity. For subject sequences truncated at the N- and C-termini, relative to the query sequence, the percent identity is corrected by calculating the number of residues of the query sequence that are N- and C-terminal of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with a corresponding subject residue, as a percent of the total bases of the query sequence. A determination of whether a residue is matched/aligned is determined by results of the FASTDB sequence alignment. This percentage is then subtracted from the percent identity, calculated by the above FASTDB program using the specified parameters, to arrive at a final percent identity score. This final percent identity score is what is used for the purposes of this embodiment. Only residues to the N- and C-termini of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence, are considered for the purposes of manually adjusting the percent identity score.
That is, only query residue positions outside the farthest N- and C-terminal residues of the subject sequence. For example, a 90 amino acid residue subject sequence is aligned with a 100 residue query sequence to determine percent identity. The deletion occurs at the N-terminus of the subject sequence and therefore, the FASTDB alignment does not show a matching/alignment of the first 10 residues at the N-terminus. The 10 unpaired residues represent 10% of the sequence (number of residues at the N- and C-termini not matched/total number of residues in the query sequence) so 10% is subtracted from the percent identity score calculated by the FASTDB program. If the remaining 90 residues were perfectly matched the final percent identity would be 90%. In another example, a 90 residue subject sequence is compared with a 100 residue query sequence. This time the deletions are internal deletions so there are no residues at the N- or C-termini of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query. In this case the percent identity calculated by FASTDB is not manually corrected. Once again, only residue positions outside the N- and C-terminal ends of the subject sequence, as displayed in the FASTDB alignment, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence are manually corrected for. No other manual corrections are made for the purposes of this embodiment.
[0206] Antibodies that Immunospecifically bind BLyS Polypeptides [0207] The present invention also encompasses antibodies (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically bind to BLyS polypeptides, which antibodies comprise, or alternatively consist of, all or a portion of a heavy and/or light chain variable domain of the scFvs referred to in Table 1.

[02101 Anti-BLvS Antibodies [0211] The antibodies of the present invention were discovered, in part, using phage display technology. Single chain antibody molecules ("scFvs") displayed on the surface of phage particles were screened to identify those scFvs that immunospecifically bind to BLyS, including the membrane-bound form and soluble form of BLyS. The present invention encompasses the scFvs and portions thereof that were identified to immunospecifically bind to BLyS, including scFvs that immunospecifically bind to the soluble form of BLyS, scFvs that immunospecifically bind to the membrane-bound form of BLyS, and scFvs that immunospecifically bind to both the soluble form and membrane-bound form of BLyS.

[0239] In another embodiment, a nucleic acid molecule of the invention encodes an antibody (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof), comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a VH domain having an amino acid sequence of any one of the VH domains referred to in Table 1 and a VL domain having an amino acid sequence of any one of the VL domains referred to in Table 1.

Nucleic acid encoding antibodies that immunospecifically bind BLyS and comprise, or alternatively consist of, fragments or variants of the VL and/or domains and/or VHCDR(s) and/or VLCDR(s) are also encompassed by the invention.
[0240] The present invention also provides antibodies that comprise, or alternatively consist of, variants (including derivatives) of the VH domains, VH CDRs, VL domains, and VL CDRs described herein, which antibodies immunospecifically bind to BLyS. Standard techniques known to those of skill in the artcan be used to introduce mutations in the nucleotide sequence encoding a molecule of the invention, including, for example, site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis which result in amino acid substitutions. Preferably, the variants (including derivatives) encode less than 50 amino acid substitutions, less than 40 amino acid subsitutions, less than 30 amino acid substitutions, less than 25 amino acid substitutions, less than 20 amino acid substitutions, less than 15 amino acid substitutions, less than 10 amino acid substitutions, less than 5 amino acid substitutions, less than 4 amino acid substitutions, less than 3 amino acid substitutions, or less than 2 amino acid substitutions relative to the reference VH domain, VHCDR1, VHCDR2, VHCDR3, VL domain, VLCDR1, VLCDR2, or VLCDR3. In specific embodiments, the variants encode substitutions of VHCDR3. In a preferred embodiment, the variants have conservative amino acid substitutions at one or more predicted non-essential amino acid residues. A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a side chain with a similar charge. Families of amino acid residues having side chains with similar charges have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Alternatively, mutations can be introduced randomly along all or part of the coding sequence, such as by saturation mutagenesis, and the resultant mutants can be screened for biological activity to identify mutants that retain activity (e..g., the ability to bind BLyS). Following mutagenesis, the encoded protein may routinely be expressed and the functional and/or biological activity of the encoded protein, (e.g., ability to immunospecifically bind BLyS) can be determined using techniques described herein or by routinely modifying techniques known in the art.
[02411 The antibodies of the invention include derivatives (i.e., variants) that are modified, e.g., by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule to the antibody such that covalent attachment does not affect the ability of the antibody to immunospecifically bind to BLyS. For example, but not by way of limitation, derivatives of the invention include antibodies that have been modified, e.g., by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein, etc. Any of numerous chemical modifications may be carried out by known techniques, including, but not limited to, specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, etc. Additionally, the derivative may contain one or more non-classical amino acids.

For example, antibodies of the present invention may be recombinantly fused or conjugated to molecules useful as labels in detection assays and effector molecules such as heterologous polypeptides, drugs, radionuclides, or toxins. See, e.g., PCT publications WO

[0269] Antibodies of the present invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of antibody fragments or variants of the present invention) may be used, for example, but not limited to, to purify and detect BLyS, and to target the polypeptides of the present invention to cells expressing membrane-bound BLyS
or BLyS receptor, including both in vitro and in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
For example, the antibodies have use in immunoassays for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring levels of BLyS in biological samples. See, e.g., Harlow et al., Antibodies: A
Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed. 1988), Methods Producing Antibodies [0270] The antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of antibody fragments or variants of the invention) can be produced by any method known in the art for the synthesis of antibodies, in particular, by chemical synthesis or preferably, by recombinant expression techniques.
[0271] . The single chain Fvs disclosed in Table 1 were generated using phage display methods known in the art. Furthermore, other scFvs that immunospecifically bind 'BLyS may be generated using phage display methods known in the art. In phage display methods, functional antibody domains are displayed on the surface of phage particles which carry the polynucleotide sequences encoding them. In particular, DNA
sequences encoding VH and VL domains are amplified from animal cDNA libraries (e.g., human or murine cDNA libraries of lymphoid tissues) or synthetic cDNA libraries. The DNA
encoding the VH and VL domains are joined together by an scFv linker by PCR
and cloned into a phagemid vector (e.g., p CANTAB 6 or pComb 3 HSS). The vector is electroporated in E. coli and the E. coli is infected with helper phage. Phage used in these methods are typically filamentous phage including fd and M13 and the VH and VL
domains are usually recombinantly fused to either the phage gene III or gene VIII. Phage expressing an antigen binding domain that binds to an antigen of interest (i.e., BLyS or a fragment thereof) can be selected or identified with antigen, e.g., using labeled antigen or antigen bound or captured to a solid surface or bead. Examples of phage display methods that can be used to make the antibodies of the present invention include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in Brinkman et al., J. Immunol. Methods 182:41-50 (1995);

Techniques to recombinantly produce Fab, Fab' and F(ab')2 fragments can also be employed using methods known in the art such as those disclosed in PCT publication WO 92/22324; Mullinax et al., BioTechniques 12(6):864-869 (1992); Sawai et al., AJRI 34:26-34 (1995); and Better et al., Science 240:1041-1043 (1988), [0273] To generate whole antibodies, PCR primers including VH or VL nucleotide sequences, a restriction site, and a flanking sequence to protect the restriction site can be used to amplify the VH or VL sequences in scFv clones. Utilizing cloning techniques known to those of skill in the art, the PCR amplified VH domains can be cloned into vectors expressing a VH constant region, e.g., the human gamma 4 constant region, and the PCR amplified VL domains can be cloned into vectors expressing a VL
constant region, e.g., human kappa or lambda constant regions. Preferably, the vectors for expressing the VH or VL domains comprise a promoter suitable to direct expression of the heavy and light chains in the chosen expression system, a secretion signal, a cloning site for the immunoglobulin variable domain, immunoglobulin constant domains, and a selection marker such as neomycin. The VH and VL domains may also be cloned into one vector expressing the necessary constant regions. The heavy chain conversion vectors and light chain conversion vectors are then co-transfected into cell lines to generate stable or transient cell lines that express full-length antibodies, e.g., IgG, using techniques known to those of skill in the art.

91/10741, In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the present invention comprise one or more VH and VL
domains corresponding to the human scFvs of the invention and framework regions from another immunoglobulin molecule, preferably a human immunoglobulin molecule.
In a specific embodiment, antibodies of the present invention comprise one or more CDRs corresponding to the human scFvs of the invention and framework regions from another immunoglobulin molecule, preferably a human immunoglobulin molecule. In other embodiments, an antibody of the present invention comprises one, two, three, four, five, six or more VL CDRs or VH CDRs corresponding to one or more of the human scFvs referred to in Table 1, or fragments or variants thereof, and framework regions (and, optionally CDRs not derived from the scFvs in Table 1) from a human immunoglobulin molecule. In a preferred embodiment, an antibody of the present invention comprises a VH CDR3, VL CDR3, or both, corresponding to the same scFv, or different scFvs referred to in Table 1, or fragments or variants thereof, and framework regions from a human immunoglobulin.
[0299] A chimeric antibody is a molecule in which different portions of the antibody are derived from different immunoglobulin molecules such as antibodies having a variable region derived from a human antibody and a non-human immunoglobulin constant region. Methods for producing chimeric antibodies are known in the art. See e.g., Morrison, Science 229:1202 (1985); Oi et al., BioTechniques 4:214 (1986); Gillies et al., J. Immunol. Methods 125:191-202 (1989); U.S. Patent Nos. 5,807,715;
4,816,567; and 4,816,397. Chimeric antibodies comprising one or more CDRs from human species and framework regions from a non-human immunoglobulin molecule (e.g., framework regions from a canine or feline immunoglobulin molecule) can be produced using a variety of techniques known in the art including, for example, CDR-grafting (EP 239,400; PCT publication WO
91/09967; U.S. Patent Nos. 5,225,539; 5,530,101; and 5,585,089), veneering or resurfacing (EP 592,106; EP 519,596; Padlan, Molecular Immunology 28(4/5):489-(1991);. Studnicka et al., Protein Engineering 7(6):805-814 (1994); Roguska et al., PNAS
91:969-973 (1994)), and chain shuffling (U.S. Patent No. 5,565,332). In a preferred embodiment, chimeric antibodies comprise a human CDR3 having an amino acid sequence of any one of the VH CDR3s or VL CDR3s referred to in Table 1, or a variant thereof, and non-human framework regions or human framework regions different from those of the frameworks in the corresponding scFv disclosed in Table 1. Often, framework residues in the framework regions will be substituted with the corresponding residue from the CDR donor antibody to alter, preferably improve, antigen binding. These framework substitutions are identified by methods well known in the art, e.g., by modeling of the interactions of the CDR and framework residues to identify framework residues important for antigen binding and sequence comparison to identify unusual framework residues at particular positions. (See, e.g., Queen et al., U.S. Patent No.
5,585,089;
Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323 (1988).

[0300] Further, the antibodies of the invention can, in turn, be utilized to generate anti-idiotype antibodies that "mimic" BLyS polypeptides using techniques well known to those skilled in the art. (See, e.g., Greenspan & Bona, FASEB J. 7(5):437-444 (1993); and Nissinoff, J. Immunol. 147(8):2429-2438 (1991)). For example, antibodies of the invention which bind to BLyS and competitively inhibit the binding of BLyS to its receptor (as determined by assays well known in the art such as, for example, that disclosed, infra) can be used to generate antiidiotypes that "mimic" a BLyS
ligand/receptor-binding domain and, as a consequence, bind to and neutralize BLyS
receptors (e.g., TACI, BCMA, and TR20). Such neutralizing anti-idiotypes (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants, such as Fab fragments of such anti-idiotypes) can be used in therapeutic regimens to neutralize BLyS. For example, such anti-idiotypic antibodies can be used to bind BLyS
ligands/receptors,. and thereby block BLyS mediated biological activity.
Alternatively, anti-idiotypes that "mimic" a BLyS binding domain may bind to BLyS receptor(s) and induce BLyS receptor mediated signalling (e.g., activation of nuclear factor of activated T
cells (NF-AT), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), and/or AP-1). Such agonistic anti-idiotypes (including agonistic Fab fragments of these anti-idiotypes) can be used in therapeutic regimens to induce or enhance BLyS receptor mediated signalling.
For example, such anti-idiotypic antibodies can be used to bind BLyS
ligands/receptors, and thereby stimulate BLyS mediated biological activity (e.g., B cell proliferation and/or immunoglobulin production).
[0301] Once an antibody molecule of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) has been chemically synthesized or recombinantly expressed, it may be purified by any method known in the art for purification of an immunoglobulin molecule, or more generally, a protein molecule, such as, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, particularly by affinity for the specific antigen after Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins. Further, the antibodies of the present invention may be fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences described herein or otherwise known in the art, to facilitate purification.

Polynucleotides Encoding an Antibody [0302] The invention provides polynucleotides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, a nucleotide sequence encoding an antibody of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof). The invention also encompasses polynucleotides that hybridize under high stringency, or alternatively, under intermediate or lower stringency hybridization conditions, e.g., as defined supra, to polynucleotides complementary to nucleic acids having a polynucleotide sequence that encodes an antibody of the invention or a fragment or variant thereof.
[0303] The polynucleotides may be obtained, and the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotides determined, by any method known in the art. Since the amino acid sequences of the scFv antibodies and VH domains, VL domains and CDRs thereof, are known (as described in Table 1), nucleotide sequences encoding these antibodies can be determined using methods well known in the art, i.e., the nucleotide codons known to encode the particular amino acids are assembled in such a way to generate a nucleic acid that encodes the antibody, of the invention. Such a polynucleotide encoding the antibody may be assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides (e.g., as described in Kutmeier et al., BioTechniques 17:242 (1994)), which, briefly, involves the synthesis of overlapping oligonucleotides containing portions of the sequence encoding the antibody, annealing and ligating of those oligonucleotides, and then amplification of the ligated oligonucleotides by PCR.
[0304] Alternatively, a polynucleotide encoding an antibody- (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be generated from nucleic acid from a suitable source. If a clone containing a nucleic acid encoding a particular antibody is not available, but the sequence of the antibody molecule is known, a nucleic acid encoding the immunoglobulin may be chemically synthesized or obtained from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or a cDNA
library generated from, or nucleic acid, preferably poly A+ RNA, isolated from, any, tissue or cells expressing the antibody, such as hybridoma cells selected to express an antibody of the invention) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers hybridizable to the 3' and 5' ends of the sequence or by cloning using an oligonucleotide probe specific for the particular gene sequence to identify, e.g., a cDNA clone from a cDNA library that encodes the antibody. Amplified nucleic acids generated by PCR may then be cloned into replicable cloning vectors using any method well known in the art.
[0305] Once the nucleotide sequence of the antibody (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) is determined, the nucleotide sequence of the antibody may be manipulated using methods well known in the art for the manipulation of nucleotide sequences, e.g., recombinant DNA techniques, site directed mutagenesis, PCR, etc. (see, for example, the techniques described in Sambrook et al., 1990, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2d Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY and Ausubel et al., eds., 1998, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY), to generate antibodies having a different amino acid sequence, for example to create amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions.

[0306] In a specific embodiment, one or more of the VH and VL domains referred to in Table 1, or fragments or variants thereof, is inserted within framework regions using recombinant DNA techniques known in the art. In a specific embodiment, one, two, three, four, five, six, or more of the CDRs referred to in Table 1, or fragments or variants thereof, is inserted within framework regions using recombinant DNA techniques known in the art. The framework regions may be naturally occurring or consensus framework regions, and preferably human framework regions (see, e.g., Chothia et al., J.
Mol. Biol.
278: 457-479 (1998) for a listing of human framework regions).
Preferably, the polynucleotides generated by the combination of the framework regions and CDRs encode an antibody (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that specifically binds to BLyS. Preferably, as discussed supra, polynucleotides encoding variants of antibodies or antibody fragments having one or more amino acid substitutions may be made within the framework regions, and, preferably, the amino acid substitutions improve binding of the antibody to its antigen.
Additionally, such methods may be used to make amino acid substitutions or deletions of one or more variable region cysteine residues participating in an intrachain disulfide bond to generate antibody molecules, or antibody fragments or variants, lacking one or more intrachain disulfide bonds. Other alterations to the polynucleotide are encompassed by the present invention and fall within the ordinary skill of the art.

Recombinant Expression of an Antibody [0307] Recombinant expression of an antibody of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof (e.g., a heavy or light chain of an antibody of the invention or a portion thereof or a single chain antibody of the invention)), requires construction of an expression vector(s) containing a polynucleotide that encodes the antibody. Once a polynucleotide encoding an antibody molecule (e.g., a whole antibody, a heavy or light chain of an antibody, or portion thereof (preferably, but not necessarily, containing the heavy or light chain variable domain)), of the invention has been obtained, the vector(s) for the production of the antibody molecule may be produced by recombinant DNA
technology using techniques well known in the art. Thus, methods for preparing a protein by expressing a polynucleotide containing an antibody encoding nucleotide sequence are described herein. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional and translational control signals. These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination. The invention, thus, provides replicable vectors comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an antibody molecule of the invention (e.g., a whole antibody, a heavy or light chain of an antibody, a heavy or light chain variable domain of an antibody, or a portion thereof, or a heavy or light chain CDR, a single chain Fv, or fragments or variants thereof), operably linked to a promoter. Such vectors may include the nucleotide sequence encoding the constant region of the antibody molecule (see, e.g., PCT
Publication WO
86/05807; PCT Publication WO 89/01036; and U.S. Patent No. 5,122,464) and the variable domain of the antibody may be cloned into such a vector for expression of the entire heavy chain, the entire light chain, or both the entire heavy and light chains.

[0308] The expression vector(s) is(are) transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce an antibody of the invention. Thus, the invention includes host cells containing polynucleotide(s) encoding an antibody of the invention (e.g., whole antibody, a heavy or light chain thereof, or portion thereof, or a single chain antibody of the invention, or a fragment or variant thereof), operably linked to a heterologous promoter. In preferred embodiments, for the expression of entire antibody molecules, vectors encoding both the heavy and light chains may be co-expressed in the host cell for expression of the entire immunoglobulin molecule, as detailed below.
[0309] A variety of host-expression vector systems may be utilized to express the antibody molecules of the invention. Such host-expression systems represent vehicles by which the coding sequences of interest may be produced and subsequently purified, but also represent cells which may, when transformed or transfected,with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequences, express an antibody molecule of the invention in situ. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E.
coli, B. subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA
expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces, Pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing antibody coding sequences; 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 (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing antibody coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BHK, 293, 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K
promoter). Preferably, bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli, and more preferably, eukaryotic cells, especially for the expression of whole recombinant antibody molecule, are used for the expression of a recombinant antibody molecule. For example, mammalian cells such as Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), in conjunction with a vector such as the major intermediate early gene promoter element from human cytomegalovirus is an effective expression system for antibodies (Foecking et al., Gene 45:101 (1986);
Cockett et al., Bio/Technology 8:2 (1990)).
[0310] In bacterial systems, a number of expression vectors may be advantageously selected depending upon the use intended for the antibody molecule being expressed. For example, when a large quantity of such a protein is to be produced, for the generation of pharmaceutical compositions of an antibody molecule, vectors which direct the expression of high levels of fusion protein products that are readily purified maybe desirable. Such vectors include, but are not limited to, the E. coli expression vector pUR278 (Ruther et al., EMBO 1. 2:1791 (1983)), in which the antibody coding sequence may be ligated individually into the vector in frame with the lac Z coding region so that a fusion protein is produced; pIN vectors (Inouye & Inouye, Nucleic Acids Res.
13:3101-3109 (1985); Van Heeke & Schuster, J. Biol. Chem. 24:5503-5509 (1989)); and the like.
pGEX vectors may also be used to express foreign polypeptides as fusion proteins with glutathione 5-transferase (GST). In general, such fusion proteins are soluble and can easily be purified from lysed cells by adsorption and binding to matrix glutathione agarose beads followed by elution in the presence of free glutathione. The pGEX
vectors are designed to include thrombin or factor Xa protease cleavage sites so that the cloned target gene product can be released from the GST moiety.
[03111 In an insect system, Autographa califomica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) may be used as a vector to express foreign genes. The virus grows in Spodopterafrugiperda cells. Antibody coding sequences may be cloned individually into non-essential regions (for example, the polyhedrin gene) of the virus and placed under control of an AcNPV promoter (for example, the polyhedrin promoter).
[03121 In mammalian host cells, a number of viral-based expression systems may be utilized. In cases where an adenovirus is used as an expression vector, the antibody coding sequence of interest may be ligated to an adenovirus transcription/translation control complex, e.g., the late promoter and tripartite leader sequence. This chimeric gene may then be inserted in the adenovirus genome by in vitro or in vivo recombination.
Insertion in a non-essential region of the viral genome (e.g., region El or E3) will result in a recombinant virus that is viable and capable of expressing the antibody molecule in infected hosts (e.g., see Logan & Shenk, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8 1:355-359 (1984)).
Specific initiation signals may also be required for efficient translation of inserted antibody coding sequences. These signals include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences. Furthermore, the initiation codon must be in phase with the reading frame of the desired coding sequence to ensure translation of the entire insert. These exogenous translational control signals and initiation codons can be of a variety of origins, both natural and synthetic. The efficiency of expression may be enhanced by the inclusion of appropriate transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc.
(see, e.g., Bittner et al., Methods in Enzymol. 153:51-544 (1987)).
10313] In addition, a host cell strain may be chosen which modulates the expression of the inserted sequences, or modifies and processes the gene product in the specific fashion desired. Such modifications (e.g., glycosylation) and processing (e.g., cleavage) of protein products may be important for the function of the protein. Different host cells have characteristic and specific mechanisms for the post-translational processing and modification of proteins and gene products. Appropriate cell lines or host systems can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the foreign protein expressed., To this end, eukaryotic host cells which possess the cellular machinery for proper processing of the primary transcript, glycosylation, and phosphorylation of the gene product may be used. Such mammalian host cells include, but are not limited to, CHO, VERY, BHK, Hela, COS, NSO, MDCK, 293, 3T3, W138, and in particular, breast cancer cell lines such as, for example, BT483, Hs578T, HTB2, BT2O and T47D, and normal mammary gland cell line such as, for example, CRL7O3O and HsS78Bst.
[03141 For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. For example, cell lines which stably express the antibody may be engineered. Rather than using expression vectors which contain viral origins of replication, host cells can be transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.), and a selectable marker. Following the introduction of the foreign DNA, engineered cells may be allowed to grow for 1-2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. The selectable marker in the recombinant ' plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci which in turn can be cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method may advantageously be used to engineer cell lines which express the antibody molecule. Such engineered cell lines may be particularly useful in screening and evaluation of compositions that interact directly or indirectly with the antibody molecule.
[0315] A number of selection systems may be used, including but not limited to, the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., Cell 11:223 (1977)), hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, Proc.
Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 48:202 (1992)), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., Cell 22:8 17 (1980)) genes can be employed in tk-, hgprt- or aprt- cells, respectively. Also, antimetabolite resistance can be used as the basis of selection for the following genes:
dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler et al., Natl. Acad.
Sci. USA 77:357 (1980); O'Hare et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:1527 (1981)); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan & Berg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
78:2072 (1981)); neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 (Goldspiel et al., Clinical Pharmacy, 12: 488-505 (1993); Wu and Wu, Biotherapy 3:87-95 (1991); Tolstoshev, Ann.
Rev. Pharmacol.
Toxicol. 32:573-596 (1993); Mulligan, Science 260:926-932 (1993); and Morgan and Anderson, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62: 191-217 (1993); TIB TECH 11(5):155-2 15 (May;
1993)); and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre et al., Gene 30:147 (1984)). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology may be routinely applied to select the desired recombinant clone, and such methods are described, for example; in Ausubel et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1993); Kriegler, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY (1990); and in Chapters 12 and 13, Dracopoli et al. (eds), Current Protocols in Human Genetics, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1994); Colberre-Garapin et al., J.
Mol. Biol. 150:1 (1981).
[0316] The expression levels of an antibody molecule can be increased by vector amplification (for a review, see Bebbington and Hentschel, The use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned genes in mammalian cells in DNA
cloning, Vol.3. (Academic Press, New York, 1987)). When a marker in the vector system expressing antibody is amplifiable, increase in the level of inhibitor present in culture of host cell will increase the number of copies of the marker gene. Since the amplified region is associated with the coding sequence of the antibody, production of the antibody will also increase (Crouse et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 3:257 (1983)).
[03171 The host cell may be co-transfected with two expression vectors of the invention, the first vector encoding a heavy chain derived polypeptide and the second vector encoding a light chain derived polypeptide. The two vectors may contain identical selectable markers which enable equal expression of heavy and light chain polypeptides.
Alternatively, a single vector may be used which encodes, and is capable of expressing, both heavy and light chain polypeptides. In such situations, the light chain is preferably placed before the heavy chain to avoid an excess of toxic free heavy chain (Proudfoot, Nature 322:52 (1986); Kohler, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:2 197 (1980)). The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains may comprise cDNA or genomic DNA.
[0318] Once an antibody molecule of the invention has been produced by recombinant expression, it may be purified by any method known in the art for purification of an immunoglobulin molecule, or more generally, for purification of a protein, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, particularly by affinity for the specific antigen after Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins. Further, the antibodies of the present invention may be fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences described herein or otherwise known in the art to facilitate purification.

Antibody Characterization [0319] Antibodies of the present invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be characterized in a variety of ways. In particular, antibodies and related molecules of the invention may be assayed for the ability to immunospecifically bind to BLyS or a fragment of BLyS (e.g., to the soluble form or the membrane-bound form of BLyS) using techniques described herein or routinely modifying techniques known in the art. BLyS or BLyS fragments that may be immunospecifically bound by the compositions of the invention include, but are not limited to, human*BLyS (SEQ ID NOS:3228 and/or 3229) or BLyS expressed on human monocytes; murine BLyS (SEQ ID NOS:3230 and/or 3231) or BLyS expressed on murine monocytes; rat BLyS (either the soluble forms as given in SEQ ID NOS:3232, 3233, 3234 and/or 3235 or in a membrane associated form, e.g., on the surface of rat monocytes); or monkey BLyS (e.g., the monkey BLyS
polypeptides of SEQ ID NOS:3236 and/or 3237, the soluble form of monkey BLyS, or BLyS
expressed on monkey monocytes) or fragments thereof. Preferably compositions of the invention bind human BLyS (SEQ ID NOS:3228 and/or 3229) or fragments thereof. Assays for the ability of the antibodies of the invention to immunospecifically bind BLyS or a fragment of BLyS may be performed in solution (e.g., Houghten, Bio/Techniques 13:412-421(1992)), on beads (e.g., Lam, Nature 354:82-84 (1991)), on chips (e.g., Fodor, Nature 364:555-556 (1993)), on bacteria (e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,223,409), on spores (e.g., Patent Nos. 5,571,698; 5,403,484; and 5,223,409), on plasmids (e.g., Cull et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:1865-1869 (1992)) or on phage (e.g., Scott and Smith, Science 249:386-390 (1990); Devlin, Science 249:404-406 (1990); Cwirla et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad.
Sci. USA 87:6378-6382 (1990); and Felici, J. Mol. Biol. 222:301-310 (1991)), Antibodies that have been identified to immunospecifically bind to BLyS or a fragment of BLyS can then be assayed for their specificity and affinity for BLyS or a fragment of BLyS
using or routinely modifying techniques described herein or otherwise known in the art.
[0320] The antibodies of the invention may be assayed for immunospecific binding to BLyS and cross-reactivity with other antigens by any method known in the art.
In particular, the ability of an antibody to immunospecifically bind to the soluble form or membrane-bound form of BLyS and the specificity of the antibody, fragment, or variant for BLyS polypeptide from a particular species (e.g., murine, monkey or human, preferably human) may be determined using or routinely modifying techniques described herein or otherwise known in art.
[03211 Immunoassays which can be used to analyze immunospecific binding and cross-reactivity include, but are not limited to, competitive and non-competitive assay systems using techniques such as western blots, radioimmunoassays, ELISA
(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), "sandwich" immunoassays, immunoprecipitation assays, precipitin reactions, gel diffusion precipitin reactions, immunodiffusion assays, agglutination assays, complement-fixation assays, immunoradiometric assays, fluorescent immunoassays, and protein A immunoassays, to name but a few. Such assays are routine and well known in the art (see, e.g., Ausubel et at, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York.
Exemplary immunoassays are described briefly below (but are not intended by way of limitation).
[0322] Immunoprecipitation protocols generally comprise lysing a population of cells in a lysis buffer such as RIPA buffer (1% NP-40 or Triton X-100,1 %
sodium deoxycholate, 0.1 % SDS, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.01 M sodium phosphate at pH 7.2,1 %
Trasylol) supplemented with protein phosphatase and/or protease inhibitors (e.g., EDTA, PMSF, aprotinin, sodium vanadate), adding the antibody of interest to the cell lysate, incubating for a period of time (e.g., 1 to 4 hours) at 40 degrees C, adding protein A
and/or protein G
sepharose beads to the cell lysate, incubating for about an hour or more at 40 degrees C, washing the beads in lysis buffer and resuspending the beads in SDS/sample buffer. The ability of the antibody of interest to immunoprecipitate a particular antigen can be assessed by, e.g., western blot analysis. One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the binding of the antibody to an antigen and decrease the background (e.g., pre-clearing the cell lysate with sepharose beads). For further discussion regarding immunoprecipitation protocols see, e.g., Ausubel et at, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York at 10.16.1.
[03231 Western blot analysis generally comprises preparing protein samples, electrophoresis of the protein samples in a polyacrylamide gel (e.g., 8%- 20%
SDS-PAGE
depending on the molecular weight of the antigen), transferring the protein sample from the polyacrylamide gel to a membrane such as nitrocellulose, PVDF or nylon, blocking the membrane in blocking solution (e.g., PBS with 3% BSA or non-fat milk), washing the membrane in washing buffer (e.g., PBS-Tween 20), blocking the membrane with primary antibody (the antibody of interest) diluted in blocking buffer, washing the membrane in washing buffer, blocking the membrane with a secondary antibody (which recognizes the primary antibody, e.g., an anti-human antibody) conjugated to an enzymatic substrate (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase) or radioactive molecule (e.g., 32P or 1211) diluted in blocking buffer, washing the membrane in wash buffer, and detecting the presence of the antigen. One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the signal detected and to reduce the background noise. For further discussion regarding western blot protocols see, e.g., Ausubel et at, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., New York at 10.8.1.
[03241 ELISAs comprise preparing antigen, coating the well of a 96-well microtiter plate with the antigen, washing away antigen that did not bind the wells, adding the antibody of interest conjugated to a detectable compound such as an enzymatic substrate (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase) to the wells and incubating for a period of time, washing away unbound antibodies or non-specifically bound antibodies, and detecting the presence of the antibodies specifically bound to the antigen coating the well. In ELISAs the antibody of interest does not have to be conjugated to a detectable compound; instead, a second antibody (which recognizes the antibody of interest) conjugated to a detectable compound may be added to the well.
Further, instead of coating the well with the antigen, the antibody may be coated to the well.
In this case, the detectable molecule could be the antigen conjugated to a detectable compound such as an enzymatic substrate (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase).
One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the signal detected as well as other variations of ELISAs known in the art.
For further discussion regarding ELISAs see, e.g., Ausubel et al, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York at 11.2.1.
[0325] The binding affinity of an antibody (including an scFv or other molecule comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) to an antigen and the off-rate of an antibody-antigen interaction can be determined by competitive binding assays. One example of a competitive binding assay is a radioimmunoassay comprising the incubation of labeled antigen (e.g., 3H or 125I) with the antibody of interest in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled antigen, and the detection of the antibody bound to the labeled antigen. The affinity of the antibody of the present invention for BLyS and the binding off-rates can be determined from the data by Scatchard plot analysis. Competition with a second antibody can also be determined using radioimmunoassays. In this case, BLyS is incubated with an antibody of the present invention conjugated to a labeled compound (e.g., 3H or 125I) in the presence of increasing amounts of an unlabeled second anti-BLyS antibody.
[0326] In a preferred embodiment, BlAcore kinetic analysis is used to determine the binding on and off rates of antibodies (including an scFv or other molecule comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) to BLyS, or fragments of BLyS. BlAcore kinetic analysis comprises analyzing the binding and dissociation of BLyS from chips with immobilized antibodies on their surface as described in detail in Examples 6, 12, 17 and 18, infra.
[0327] The antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) can also be assayed for their ability to inhibit, increase, or not significantly alter, the binding of BLyS to a BLyS receptor (e.g., TACI and BCMA) using techniques known to those of skill in the art. For example, cells expressing a receptor for BLyS (e.g., IM9, REH, ARH-77cells, Namalwa, and RPMI-8226 B cell tumor lines as wells as peripheral CD20+ B
cells) can be contacted with BLyS in the presence or absence of an antibody, and the ability of the antibody to inhibit, increase, or not significantly alter, BLyS
binding to the cells can be measured. BLyS binding to cells can be measured by, for example, flow cytometry or a scintillation assay. BLyS or the antibody can be labeled with a detectable compound such as a radioactive label (e.g., 32P, 35S, and 1251) or a fluorescent label (e.g., fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, o-phthaldehyde and fluorescamine) to enable detection of an interaction between BLyS and a BLyS receptor and/or BLyS and an antibody of the invention.
Alternatively, the ability of antibodies of the invention to inhibit, increase, or not significantly alter, BLyS binding to a BLyS receptor can be determined in cell-free assays.
For example, native or recombinant BLyS (e.g., that having the amino acid sequence of amino acids 134 - 285 of SEQ ID NO:3228) or a fragment thereof can be contacted with an antibody' and the ability of the antibody to inhibit, increase, or not significantly alter, BLyS from binding to a BLyS receptor can be determined. Preferably, the antibody is immobilized on a solid support and BLyS or a BLyS fragment is labeled with a detectable compound. Alternatively, BLyS or a BLyS fragment is immobilized on a solid support and the antibody is labeled with a detectable compound. BLyS may be partially or completely purified (e.g., partially or completely free of other polypeptides) or part of a cell lysate. Further, the BLyS polypeptide may be a fusion protein comprising BLyS or a biologically active portion thereof and a domain such as an Immunoglobulin Fc or glutathionine-S-transferase. For example, amino acid residues 1-154 of TACI
(GenBank accession number AAC51790), or 1-48 of BCMA (GenBank accession number NP_001183) may be fused to the Fc region of an IgG molecule and used in a cell free assay to determine the ability of antibodies of the invention to inhibit, increase, or not significantly alter, BLyS binding to a BLyS receptor. Alternatively, BLyS can be biotinylated using techniques well known to those of skill in the art (e.g., biotinylation kit, Pierce Chemicals; Rockford, IL).
[0328] The antibodies of the invention (including scFvs or other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof), can also be assayed for their ability to inhibit, stimulate, or not significantly alter, BLyS-induced B-cell proliferation using techniques known to those of skill in the art. For example, B-cell proliferation can be assayed by 3H-thymidine incorporation assays and trypan blue cell counts (see, e.g., Moore et al., Science 285: 260-263 (1999)). Further, the antibodies of the invention, or fragments or variants thereof, can be assayed for their ability to block, stimulate, or not significantly alter, BLyS-induced activation of cellular signaling molecules and transcription factors such as calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand ("CAML"), calcineurin, nuclear factor of activated T cells transcription factor ("NF-AT"), nuclear factor-kappa B ("NF-kappa B"), and AP-1 using techniques known to those of skill in the art (see, e.g., von Bulow and Bram, Science 278:138-141(1997)).
For example, NF-AT activity can be determined by electromobility gel shift assays, by detecting the expression of a protein known to be regulated by NF-AT (e.g., IL-expression), by detecting the induction of a reporter gene (e.g., an NF-AT
regulatory element operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a detectable marker such as luciferase, beta-galactosidase or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT)), or by detecting a cellular response (e.~g., cellular differentiation, or cell proliferation).
[0329] The antibodies of the invention, or fragments or variants thereof can also be assayed for their ability to neutralize, enhance, or not significantly alter, BLyS activity.
For example, antibodies or fragments or variants thereof, may be routinely tested for their ability to inhibit BLyS from binding to cells expressing the receptor for BLyS
(see Example 3, infra).

Selection and Screening for Antibodies that Immunospecifically Bind to Soluble BLvS
[0330] Antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be screened in a variety of assays to identify those antibodies that immunospecifically bind to the soluble form of BLyS. In one particular assay, antibodies that bind to the biotinylated soluble form of BLyS in solution are captured on streptavidin coated magnetic beads.
This assay may be relatively applied to identify antibodies of the invention that neutralize and/or bind to BLyS. Additionally, antibodies may be assayed in neutralization assays described herein or otherwise known in the art (see Example 3, infra). For example, antibodies may be tested for their ability to inhibit soluble BLyS (e.g., biotinylated BLyS) from binding to IM9 cells. In this assay, labeled soluble BLyS (e.g., biotinylated BLyS) is incubated with candidate anti-BLyS antibodies to allow for the formation of BLyS -anti-BLyS antibody complexes. Following incubation, an aliquot of the BLyS-anti-BLyS
antibody sample is added to IM9 cells. The binding of soluble BLyS may be determined using techniques known in the art. For example, the binding of biotinylated BLyS to IM9 cells may be detected using a fluorimeter following the addition of streptavidin-delfia.
Biotinylated BLyS, if it is not bound by antibodies that neutralize BLyS, binds to the cells is detected. Thus, an antibody that decreases the amount of bio-BLyS that binds to IM-9 cells (relative to a control sample in which the BLyS had been preincubated with an irrelevant antibody or no antibody at all) is identified as one that binds to and neutralizes the soluble form of BLyS. In another assay, antibodies are screened using ELISAs for those antibodies that bind to biotinylated soluble BLyS, but do not bind membrane-bound BLyS, such as, for example, BLyS on membranes from U937 cells (see Examples 2 and 9, infra). In these assays, soluble BLyS (e.g., biotinylated BLyS) and membrane-bound BLyS (e.g., on U937 membranes) are incubated in separate samples with the same antibodies and those antibodies that bind to the soluble BLyS (biotinylated BLyS), but not membrane-bound BLyS (e.g., on U937 membranes) are captured and identified.
[03311 Antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be tested to identify those antibodies that do not cross-react with APRIL, endokine-alpha, VEGI, TRAIL, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, Fas-L, LIGHT, and PBS (see Example 4, infra).
Antibodies may also be tested for their affinity for BLyS using, for example, BlAcore analysis (see Examples 6, 12, 17 and 18 infra). Antibodies may also be tested for their ability to stimulate, inhibit, or not alter, BLyS-induced immunoglobulin production and/or B-cell proliferation using techniques known to those of skill in the art. For example, human B-cells, BLyS and antibodies may be incubated together in 96 well plates and 3H-thymidine incorporation may be measured using a scintillation counter.

Selection and Screening for Antibodies that Immunospecifically Bind to Membrane-bound BLyS

[0332] Antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be screened in a variety of assays to identify those antibodies that immunospecifically bind to the membrane-bound form of BLyS. In one particular assay, antibodies that bind to BLyS
on U937 membranes or immobilized histidine-tagged BLyS are captured. Other cell lines that express BLyS that might be useful for testing antibody binding to membrane-bound form of BLyS include, K-562, HL-60 and THP-1 cells. In another assay, antibodies are screened using ELISAs for those antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) that bind to BLyS on U937 membranes or to histidine-tagged BLyS. In this assay, antibodies are added to 96 well plates coated with U937 membranes or histidine-tagged BLyS
and those antibodies or antibody fragments or variants that bind to the U937 membranes or histidine-tagged BLyS are captured. In another assay, antibodies are screened using ELISAs for those antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants thereof) that do not bind to biotinylated BLyS (soluble BLyS) but bind to membrane-bound BLyS, such as, for example, that on membranes from U937 cells (see Example 2, infra). In these assays, soluble BLyS (e.g., biotinylated BLyS) and membrane-bound BLyS (e.g., on U937 membranes) are incubated in separate samples with the same antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) and those antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) that do not bind to the soluble BLyS (biotinylated BLyS), but bind the membrane-bound BLyS
(e.g., on U937 membranes) are captured and identified. In other assays, antibodies are screened using ELISAs to determine which of the antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) that bind to histidine-tagged BLyS or membranes from U937 cells do not cross-react with APRIL, endokine-alpha, VEGI, TRAIL, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, Fas-L, LIGHT, and PBS
(See Example 4, infra). ELISAs can also be used to determine which of the antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) that bind to histidine-tagged BLyS or membranes from U937 cells bind to BLyS in the presence of TNF-alpha (see Example 4, infra).
Antibodies or fragments or variants thereof that immunospecifically bind to the membrane-bound form of BLyS may also be tested for their affinity for histidine-tagged BLyS
using high-throughput BlAcore analysis (see Example 14, infra).
[0333] Additionally, antibodies of the invention may be screened against cells engineered to express an "uncleavable" form of BLyS in order to determine their specificity for the membrane-bound form of BLyS. Mutations in BLyS which may achieve this result include, but are not limited to, the mutation or deletion of amino acid residues Lys-132 and/or Arg-133 of the BLyS sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3228.
A
typical mutagenesis might include mutation of one or both of residues Lys-132 or Arg-133 to alanine residues. Cells expressing such an "uncleavable" form of BLyS
provide a profound reagent to use in assaying the ability of antibodies to bind the membrane-bound form of BLyS.

Selection and Screening for Antibodies that Immunospecifically Bind to Soluble and Membrane-bound BLyS
[0334] Antibodies of the invention (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternately consisting of, antibody fragments or variants) may be screened in a variety of assays to identify those antibodies or antibody fragments or variants that immunospecifically bind to the soluble form and membrane-bound form of BLyS.
In one particular assay, antibodies that bind to immobilized BLyS are captured. In another assay, antibodies are screened using ELISAs for those antibodies (or antibody fragments or variants) that inhibit the binding of soluble BLyS (e.g. soluble bio-BLyS) to IM-9 cells as described supra. In other assays, antibodies are screened using ELISAs for those antibodies that bind to membranes from U937 cells. Additionally, further ELISA
assays may be performed using techniques known in the art to determine which antibodies do not cross-react with APRIL, endokine-alpha, VEGI, TRAIL, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, Fas-L, LIGHT, and PBS, or those antibodies that bind to BLyS in the presence of TNF-alpha (see Example 4 infra). Antibodies may be assayed in neutralization assays using techniques described herein or otherwise known in the art. Antibodies that immunospecifically bind to the soluble and membrane-bound forms of BLyS may also be tested for their affinity for BLyS using high-throughput BlAcore analysis.

Antibody Conjugates [0335] The present invention encompasses antibodies (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof), recombinantly fused or chemically conjugated (including both covalent and non-covalent conjugations) to a heterologous polypeptide (or portion thereof, preferably at least 10, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, at least 60, at least 70, at least 80, at least 90 or at least 100 amino acids of the polypeptide) to generate fusion proteins. The fusion does not necessarily need to be direct, but may occur through linker sequences. For example, antibodies of the invention may be used to target heterologous polypeptides to particular cell types (e.g., cells of monocytic lineage and B-cells), either in vitro or in vivo, by fusing or conjugating the heterologous polypeptides to antibodies of the invention that are specific for particular cell surface antigens (e.g., membrane-bound BLyS
on cells of monocytic lineage) or which bind antigens that bind particular cell surface receptors (e.g., TACI and/or BCMA located on B cells). Antibodies fused or conjugated to heterologous polypeptides may also be used in in vitro immunoassays and purification methods using methods known in the art. See e.g., Harbor et al., supra, and PCT publication 1232; EP 439,095; Naramura et al., Immunol. Lett. 39:91-99 (1994); U.S. Patent 5,474,981; Gillies et al., PNAS 89:1428-1432 (1992); Fell et al.~ J.

[03381 In another embodiment, a fusion protein comprises a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of any one of the VH domains referred to in Table 1, and one or more VL domains referred to in Table 1, and a heterologous polypeptide. In another embodiment, a fusion protein of the present invention comprises a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of any one of the VH CDRs referred to in Table 1, and any one of the VL CDRs referred to in Table 1, and a heterologous polypeptide.
[0339] The present invention further includes compositions comprising, or alternatively consisting of, heterologous polypeptides fused or conjugated to antibody fragments. For example, the heterologous polypeptides may be fused or conjugated to a Fab fragment, Fd fragment, Fv fragment, F(ab)2 fragment, or a portion thereof.
Methods for fusing or conjugating polypeptides to antibody portions are known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent-Nos. 5,336,603; 5,622,929; 5,359,046; 5,349,053; 5,447,851;

USA 89:11337-11341(1992), [03401 , Additional fusion proteins of the invention may be generated through the techniques of gene-shuffling, motif-shuffling, exon-shuffling, and/or codon-shuffling (collectively referred to as "DNA shuffling"). DNA shuffling may be employed to modulate the activities of antibodies (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof), such methods can be used to generate antibodies with altered activity (e.g., antibodies with higher affinities and lower dissociation rates).

In preferred embodiments, the marker amino acid sequence is a hexa-histidine polypeptide, such as the tag provided in a pQE vector (QIAGEN, Inc., 9259 Eton Avenue, Chatsworth, CA, 91311), among others, many of which are commercially available. As described in Gentz et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:821-824 (1989), for instance, hexa-histidine provides for convenient purification of the fusion protein. Other peptide tags useful for purification include, but are not limited to, the hemagglutinin "HA"
tag, which corresponds to an epitope derived from the influenza hemagglutinin protein (Wilson et al., Cell 37:767 (1984)) and the "flag" tag (DYKDDDDK, (SEQ ID No:

[03501 An antibody of the invention (including an scFv or and other molecule comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an antibody fragment or variant thereof), with or without a therapeutic moiety conjugated to it, administered alone or in combination with cytotoxic factor(s) and/or cytokine(s) can be used as a therapeutic.

Use of Antibodies for Epitope Mapping [03511 The present invention provides antibodies (including scFvs and other molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof), that can be used to identify epitopes of BLyS. In particular, the antibodies of the present invention can be used to identify epitopes of human BLyS (SEQ ID
NOS:3228 and/or 3229) or BLyS expressed on human monocytes; murine BLyS (SEQ ID
NOS:3230 and/or 3231) or BLyS expressed on murine monocytes; rat BLyS (either the soluble forms as given in SEQ ID NOS:3232, 3233, 3234 and/or 3235 or in a membrane associated form, e.g., on the surface of rat monocytes); or monkey BLyS (e.g., the monkey BLyS
polypeptides of SEQ ID NOS:3236 and/or 3237, the soluble form of monkey BLyS, or BLyS expressed on monkey monocytes)using techniques described herein or otherwise known in the art. Fragments which function as epitopes may be produced by any conventional means. (See, e.g., Houghten, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:5131-(1985), further described in U.S. Patent No. 4,631,211.) Diagnostic Uses of Antibodies [03521 Labeled antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) which specifically bind to BLyS can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, prognose, or monitor diseases and/or disorders associated with the aberrant expression and/or activity of BLyS
or BLyS receptor. The invention provides for the detection of aberrant expression of BLyS
comprising: (a) assaying the expression of BLyS in a biological sample from an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically binds to BLyS; and (b) comparing the level of BLyS with a standard level of BLyS, e.g., in normal biological samples, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed level of BLyS
compared to the standard level of BLyS is indicative of aberrant expression.

[0353] By "biological sample" is intended any fluids and/or cells obtained from an individual, body fluid, body tissue, body cell, cell line, tissue culture, or other source which may contain BLyS protein or mRNA. Body fluids include, but are not limited to, sera, plasma, urine, synovial fluid, spinal fluid, saliva, and mucous. Tissues samples may be taken from virtually any tissue in the body. Tissue samples may also be obtained from autopsy material. Methods for obtaining tissue biopsies and body fluids from mammals are well known in the art. Where the biological sample is to include mRNA, a tissue biopsy is the preferred source.
[0354] The invention also provides for the detection of aberrant expression of BLyS receptor comprising (a) assaying the expression of BLyS receptor in a biological sample from an individual using one or more antibodies or fragments or variants thereof that immunospecifically binds only to soluble BLyS, but does not inhibit BLyS
/BLyS
receptor binding. Such an antibody, by way of an example that is not to be construed as limiting, would be one that is able to capture a biotinylated BLyS from solution (see Example 8), but that would not prevent BLyS from binding to IM-9 cells (see Example 3).
and (b) comparing the level of BLyS receptor with a standard level of BLyS
receptor, e.g., in normal tissue or cell samples, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed level of BLyS receptor compared to the standard level of BLyS receptor is indicative of aberrant expression.
[0355] Antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) which specifically bind to BLyS can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, propose, or monitor autoimmune disorders and/or immunodeficiencies, and/or diseases or conditions associated therewith. The invention provides for the detection of aberrant expression of BLyS comprising: (a) assaying the expression of BLyS in a biological sample from an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically binds to BLyS; and (b) comparing the level of BLyS with a standard level of BLyS, e.g., in normal biological samples, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed level of BLyS
compared to the standard level of BLyS is indicative of an autoimmune disorder or disease and/or an immunodeficiency. In specific embodiments, an increase in the assayed level of BLyS is indicative of an autoimmune disorder or disease. In other specific embodiments, a decrease in the assayed level of BLyS is indicative of an immunodeficiency.

[0356] Antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) which specifically bind to BLyS but, do not inhibit BLyS/BLyS receptor binding can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, prognose, or monitor autoimmune disorders and/or immunodeficiencies, and/or diseases or conditions associated therewith. The invention provides for the detection of aberrant expression of BLyS receptor comprising:
(a) assaying the expression of BLyS receptor in a biological sample from an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically binds to BLyS;
and (b) comparing the level of BLyS receptor with a standard level of BLyS receptor, e.g., in normal biological samples, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed level of BLyS
receptor compared to the standard level of BLyS receptor is indicative of an autoimmune disorder or disease and/or an immunodeficiency. In specific embodiments, an increase in the assayed level of BLyS receptor is indicative of an autoimmune disorder or disease. In other specific embodiments, a decrease in the assayed level of BLyS receptor is indicative of an immunodeficiency.

[0358] In specific embodiments, the present invention encompasses methods and compositions for detecting, diagnosing and/or prognosing diseases or disorders associated with hypergammaglobulinemia (e.g., AIDS, autoimmune diseases, and some immunodeficiencies). In other specific embodiments, the present invention encompasses methods and compositions for detecting, diagnosing and/or prognosing diseases or disorders associated with hypogammaglobulinemia (e.g., an immunodeficiency).

[0360] Elevated levels of soluble BLyS have been observed in the serum of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In comparing the sera of 150 SLE
patients with that of 38 control individuals, it was found that most of the SLE patients had more than 5ng/ml of serum BLyS, more than 30% of SLE patients had levels greater than lOng/ml, and approximately 10% of SLE patients had serum BLyS levels greater than 20ng/ml. In contrast, the majority of normal controls had BLyS levels less than 5ng/ml, and less than 10% had levels higher than l Ong/m1. The elevated levels of BLyS
protein in sera is present in the soluble form and has biologic activity as assayed by the ability to stimulate anti-IgM treated B cells in vitro. SLE patients with more than 15ng/ml serum BLyS were also found to have elevated levels of anti-dsDNA antibodies compared to both normal controls and SLE patients with less than 5ng/ml of serum BLyS.(unpublished data).
[0361] In addition the serum of two subgroups of patients which were positive for anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA+) but did not meet the formal requirements of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) for classification of SLE were analyzed for BLyS
levels.

The first subgroup of sera was ANA+ sera that came from patients who did not present with the clinical impression of SLE. This group had only slightly elevated levels of BLyS
(-9ng/ml BLyS). The second subgroup however, which was ANA+ sera from patients who presented with the clinical impression of SLE, had significantly increased BLyS
levels (-15ng/ml). These results suggest that an elevated level of BLyS
precedes the formal fulfillment of the ACR criteria. The ACR criteria are described in Tan, E.M., et al, Arthritis and Rheumatism 25:1271 - 1277 (1982).

[03731 In additional embodiments, antibodies of the invention which specifically bind to BLyS can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, prognose, or monitor an immune-based rheumatologic disease, (e.g., SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, CREST syndrome (a variant of scleroderma characterized by calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal motility disorders, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia.), Seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SpA), Polymyositis/dermatomyositis, Microscopic polyangiitis, Hepatitis C-associated arthritis, Takayasu's arteritis, and undifferentiated connective tissue disorder).

Nephrotic-range proteinuria was inversely correlated with serum Neutrokine-alpha levels. Thus, in specific embodiments, serum levels of BLyS (determined using one or more antibodies of the present invention) in individuals diagnosed with an immune based rheumatologic disease (e.g., SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, CREST syndrome (a variant of scleroderma characterized by calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal motility disorders, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia.), seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SpA), polymyositis/dermatomyositis, microscopic polyangiitis, hepatitis C-asociated arthritis, Takayasu's arteritis, and undifferentiated connective tissue disorder) may be used to determine, diagnose, prognose, or monitor the severity of certain aspects or symptoms of the disease, such as nephrotic-range proteinuria.

With respect to cancer, the presence of a relatively high amount of BLyS in biopsied tissue from an individual may indicate a predisposition for the development of the disease, or may provide a means for detecting the disease prior to the appearance of actual clinical symptoms. A more definitive diagnosis of this type may allow health professionals to employ preventative measures or aggressive treatment earlier thereby preventing the development or further progression of the cancer.
[0377] In specific embodiments, the presence of a relatively high amount of membrane-bound BLyS in a biological sample is indicative of monocytic cell related leukemias or lymphomas, such as, for example acute myelogenous leukemia and/or the severity thereof.
[0378] In other specific embodiments, the presence of a relatively high amount of BLyS receptor in a biological sample (as determined using antibodies of the invention that bind to soluble BLyS, but do not inhibit BLyS/BLyS receptor binding) is indicative of B
cell related leukemias or lymphomas (e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease), and/or the severity thereof.
[0379] In specific embodiments, the invention provides a diagnostic assay for diagnosing or prognosing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, comprising: (a) assaying for the level of BLyS in a biological sample of an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically bind to BLyS; and (b) comparing the level of BLyS
with a standard BLyS level, e.g., in a biological sample from a patient without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, whereby an increase in the assayed BLyS level compared to the standard level of BLyS is indicative of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
[0380] In specific embodiments, the invention provides a diagnostic assay for diagnosing or prognosing a Rheumatoid Arthritis, comprising: (a) assaying for the level of BLyS in a biological sample of an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically bind to BLyS; and (b) comparing the level of BLyS
with a standard BLyS level, e.g., in a biological sample from a patient without Rheumatoid Arthritis, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed BLyS
level compared to the standard level of BLyS is indicative of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
[0381] The invention provides a diagnostic assay for diagnosing or prognosing a disease or disorder, comprising: (a) assaying for the level of BLyS receptor in cells or a tissue sample of an individual using one or more antibodies of the invention that immunospecifically binds only to soluble BLyS, but does not neutralize BLyS
/BLyS
receptor binding; and (b) comparing the level of BLyS receptor with a standard BLyS
receptor level, e.g., in a tissue sample from a patient without the disease or disorder, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed BLyS receptor level compared to the standard level of BLyS receptor is indicative of a particular disease or disorder. With respect to cancer, the presence of a relatively high amount of BLyS receptor in biopsied tissue from an individual may indicate a predisposition for the development of the disease, or may provide a means for detecting the disease prior to the appearance of actual clinical symptoms. A more definitive diagnosis of this type may allow health professionals to employ preventative measures or aggressive treatment earlier thereby preventing the development or further progression of the cancer.
[03821 Antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) can be used to assay protein levels in a biological sample using classical immunohistological methods as described herein or as known to those of skill in the art (e.g., see Jalkanen, et al., J. Cell.
Biol. 101:976-985 (1985); Jalkanen, et al., J. Cell. Biol. 105:3087-3096 (1987)). Other antibody-based methods useful for detecting protein gene expression include immunoassays, such as the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the radioimmunoassay (RIA). Suitable antibody assay labels are known in the art and include enzyme labels, such as, glucose oxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and horseradish peroxidase; radioisotopes, such as iodine (1211, 1231, 1251, 1311), carbon (14C), sulfur (35S), tritium (3H), indium (111In, 1121n, 113m1n, 115mIn), technetium (99Tc,99mTc), thallium (201Ti), gallium (68Ga, 67Ga), palladium (103Pd), molybdenum (99Mo), xenon (133Xe), fluorine (8F), 153Sm, 177LU, 159Gd, 149Pm, 140La, 175Yb, 166 Ho, 90Y, 47Sc, 186Re, 188Re, 142Pr, 105Rh, and 97Ru;

luminescent labels, such as luminol; and fluorescent labels, such as fluorescein and rhodamine, and biotin.
[03831 One aspect of the invention is the detection and diagnosis of a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression of BLyS or BLyS receptor in an animal, preferably a mammal and most preferably a human. In one embodiment, diagnosis comprises: a) administering (for example, parenterally, subcutaneously, or intraperitoneally) to a subject an effective amount of a labeled antibody of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically binds to BLyS; b) waiting for a time interval following the administering for permitting the labeled antibody to preferentially concentrate at sites in the subject where BLyS is expressed (and for unbound labeled molecule to be cleared to background level); c) determining background level;
and d) detecting the labeled antibody in the subject, such that detection of labeled antibody or fragment thereof above the background level and above or below the level observed in a person without the disease or disorder indicates that the subject has a particular disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression of BLyS or BLyS receptor.
Background level can be determined by various methods including, comparing the amount of labeled molecule detected to a standard value previously determined for a particular system.
[0384] It will be understood in the art that the size of the subject and the imaging system used will determine the quantity of imaging moiety needed to produce diagnostic images. In the case of a radioisotope moiety, for a human subject, the quantity of radioactivity injected will normally range from about 5 to 20 millicuries of 99Tc. The labeled antibody will then preferentially accumulate at the location of cells which contain the specific protein. In vivo tumor imaging is described in S.W. Burchiel et al., "Immunopharmacokinetics of Radiolabeled Antibodies and Their Fragments."
(Chapter 13 in Tumor Imaging: The Radiochemical Detection of Cancer, S.W. Burchiel and B. A.
Rhodes, eds., Masson Publishing Inc. (1982).
[0385] Depending on several variables, including the type of label used and the mode of administration, the time interval following the administration for permitting the labeled molecule to preferentially concentrate at sites in the subject and for unbound labeled molecule to be cleared to background level is 6 to 48 hours or 6 to 24 hours or 6 to 12 hours. In another embodiment the time interval following administration is 5 to 20 days or 5 to 10 days.
[0386] In an embodiment, monitoring of the disease or disorder is carried out by repeating the method for diagnosing the disease or disorder, for example, one month after initial diagnosis, six months after initial diagnosis, one year after initial diagnosis, etc.
[0387] Presence of the labeled molecule can be detected in the patient using methods known in the art for in vivo scanning. These methods depend upon the type of label used. Skilled artisans will be able to determine the appropriate method for detecting a particular label. Methods and devices that may be used in the diagnostic methods of the invention include, but are not limited to, computed tomography (CT), whole body scan such as position emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and sonography.
[0388] In a specific embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a radioisotope and is detected in the patient using a radiation responsive surgical instrument (Thurston et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,441,050). In another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a fluorescent compound and is detected in the patient using a fluorescence responsive scanning instrument. In another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a positron emitting metal and is detected in the patient using positron emission-tomography. In yet another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a paramagnetic label and is detected in a patient using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Immunophenotyping [0389] The antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be utilized for immunophenotyping of cell lines and biological samples by their BLyS
expression or BLyS receptor expression. Various techniques can be utilized using antibodies, fragments, or variants of the invention to screen for cellular populations (i.e., immune cells, particularly monocytic cells or B-cells) expressing BLyS or BLyS
receptor, and include magnetic separation using antibody-coated magnetic beads, "panning"
with antibody attached to a solid matrix (i.e., plate), and flow cytometry (see, e.g., U.S. Patent 5,985,660; and Morrison et al., Cell, 96:737-49 (1999)).
[0390] These techniques allow for the screening of particular populations of cells, such as might be found with hematological malignancies (i.e., minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute leukemic patients) and "non-self' cells in transplantations to prevent Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD). Alternatively, these techniques allow for the screening of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells capable of undergoing proliferation and/or differentiation, as might be found in human umbilical cord blood.
[0391] In one embodiment, antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) are used to identify cells of monocytic or B cell origin.

Therapeutic Uses of Antibodies [0392] The present invention is further directed to antibody-based therapies which involve administering antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) to an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human, patient for treating one or more of the disclosed diseases, disorders, or conditions. Therapeutic compounds of the invention include, but are not limited to, antibodies of the invention and nucleic acids encoding antibodies (and anti-idiotypic antibodies) of the invention as described herein. The antibodies of the invention can be used to treat, ameliorate or prevent diseases, disorders or conditions associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of BLyS or BLyS receptor, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the diseases, disorders, or conditions described herein. The treatment and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with aberrant BLyS expression and/or activity or aberrant BLyS receptor expression and/or activity includes, but is not limited to, alleviating symptoms associated with those diseases, disorders or conditions. Antibodies of the invention may be provided in pharmaceutically acceptable compositions as known in the art or as described herein.
[0393] Antibodies of the present invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that function as agonists or antagonists of BLyS, preferably of BLyS-induced signal transduction, can be administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS expression, lack of BLyS function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or lack of BLyS receptor function. For example, antibodies of the invention which disrupt the interaction between BLyS and its receptor may be administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS
expression, excessive BLyS function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or excessive of BLyS receptor function. Antibodies of the invention which do not prevent BLyS
from binding its receptor but inhibit or downregulate BLyS-induced signal transduction can be administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS expression, excessive BLyS function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or excessive BLyS receptor function. In particular, antibodies of the present invention which prevent BLyS-induced signal transduction by specifically recognizing the unbound BLyS, receptor-bound BLyS or both unbound and receptor-bound BLyS can be administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS expression, excessive BLyS function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or excessive BLyS receptor function. The ability of an antibody of the invention to inhibit or downregulate BLyS-induced signal transduction may be determined by techniques described herein or otherwise known in the art. For example, BLyS-induced receptor activation and the activation of signaling molecules can be determined by detecting the phosphorylation (e.g., tyrosine or serine/threonine) of the receptor or a signaling molecule by immunoprecipitation followed by western blot analysis (for example, as described herein).
[0394] In a specific embodiment, an antibody of the present invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that inhibits or downregulates BLyS activity by at least 95%, at least 90%, at least 85%, at least 80%, at least 75%, at least 70%, at least 60%, at least 50%, at least 45%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 35%, at least 30%, at least 25%, at least 20%, or at least 10% relative to BLyS activity in absence of the antibody is administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS

receptor expression, or excessive BLyS receptor function.
[0395]. Further, antibodies of the present invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) which activate BLyS-induced signal transduction can be administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS
expression, lack of BLyS function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or lack of BLyS receptor function.
These antibodies may potentiate or activate either all or a subset of the biological activities of BLyS-mediated receptor activation, for example, by inducing multimerization of BLyS
and/or multimerization of the receptor. The antibodies of the invention may be administered with or without being pre-complexed with BLyS. In a specific embodiment, an antibody of the present invention that increases BLyS activity by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99%
relative to BLyS activity in absence of the antibody is administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS expression, lack of BLyS
function, aberrant BLyS receptor expression, or lack of BLyS receptor function. In another embodiment, a combination of antibodies, a combination of antibody fragments, a combination of antibody variants, or a combination of antibodies, antibody fragments and/or antibody variants that increase BLyS activity by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% relative to BLyS activity in absence of the said antibodies or antibody fragments and/or antibody variants is .
administered to an animal to treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BLyS expression or lack of BLyS function or aberrant BLyS
receptor expression or lack of BLyS receptor function.
[0396] , One or more antibodies of the present invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) that immunospecifically bind to BLyS may be used locally or systemically in the body as a therapeutic. The antibodies of this invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may also be advantageously utilized in combination with other monoclonal or chimeric antibodies, or with lymphokines or hematopoietic growth factors (such as, e.g., IL-2, IL-3 and IL-7), for example, which serve to increase the number or activity of effector cells which interact with the antibodies.
[0397] The antibodies of the invention (including molecules comprising, or alternatively consisting of, antibody fragments or variants thereof) may be administered alone or in combination with other types of treatments (e.g., radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, anti-tumor agents, anti-angiogenesis and anti-inflammatory agents).

[0417] In a further specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention are used to treat, inhibit, prognose, diagnose or prevent hemolytic anemia. For example, patients diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), e.g., cryoglobinemia or Coombs positive anemia, are treated with an antibody, or antibodies, of the present invention.
AIHA is an acquired hemolytic anemia due to auto-antibodies that react with the patient's red blood cells. The patient treated preferably will not have a B cell malignancy. Further adjunct therapies (such as glucocorticoids, prednisone, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, vinca-laden platelets or Danazol) may be combined with the antibody therapy, but preferably the patient is treated with an antibody, or antibodies, of the present invention as a single-agent throughout the course of therapy. Antibodies of the present invention are administered to the hemolytic anemia patient according to a dosing schedule as described infra, which may be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Overall response rate is determined based upon an improvement in blood counts, decreased requirement for transfusions, improved hemoglobin levels and/or a decrease in the evidence of hemolysis as determined by standard chemical parameters.
Administration of an antibody, or antibodies of the present invention will improve any one or more of the symptoms of hemolytic anemia in the patient treated as described above. For example, the patient treated as described above will show an increase in hemoglobin and an improvement in chemical parameters of hemolysis or return to normal as measured by serum lactic dehydrogenase and/or bilirubin.

[0430] In another specific embodiment, antibodies of the invention are used to treat, inhibit, prognose, diagnose or prevent adult immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

Adult immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a relatively rare hematologic disorder that constitutes the most common of the immune-mediated cytopenias. The disease typically presents with severe thrombocytopenia that may be associated with acute hemorrhage in the presence of normal to increased megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.
Most patients with ITP have an IgG antibody directed against target antigens on the outer surface of the platelet membrane, resulting in platelet sequestration in the spleen and accelerated reticuloendothelial destruction of platelets (Bussell, J.B.
Hematol. Oncol. Clin.
North Am. (4):179 (1990)). A number of therapeutic interventions have been shown to be effective in the treatment of ITP. Steroids are generally considered first-line therapy, after which mosqatients are candidates for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), splenectomy, or other medical therapies including vincristine or immunosuppressive/cytotoxic agents.
Up to 80% of patients with ITP initially respond to a course of steroids, but far fewer have complete and lasting remissions. Splenectomy has been recommended as standard second-line therapy for steroid failures, and leads to prolonged remission in nearly 60% of cases yet may result in reduced immunity to infection. Splenectomy is a major surgical procedure that may be associated with substantial morbidity (15%) and mortality (2%).~
IVIG has also been used as second line medical therapy, although only a small proportion of adult patients with ITP achieve remission. Therapeutic options that would interfere with the production of autoantibodies by activated B cells without the associated morbidities that occur with corticosteroids and/or splenectomy would provide an important treatment approach for a proportion of patients with ITP. Patients with clinical diagnosis of ITP are treated with an antibody, or antibodies of the present invention, optionally in combination with steroid therapy. The patient treated will not have a B cell malignancy. Antibodies of the present invention are administered to the RA
patient according to a dosing schedule as described infra, which may be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. Overall patient response rate is determined based upon a platelet'count determined on two consecutive occasions two weeks apart following treatments as described above. See, George et al. "Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura:
A Practice Guideline Developed by Explicit Methods for The American Society of Hematology", Blood 88:3-40 (1996).

[0472] In a specific embodiment, therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are used as a mediator of mucosal immune responses. The expression of BLyS on monocytes, the expression of BLyS receptor on B cells, and the responsiveness of B cells to BLyS suggests that it may be involved in exchange of signals between B
cells and monocytes or their differentiated progeny. This activity is in many ways analogous to the CD40-CD154 signalling between B cells and T cells. Anti-BLyS
antibodies and compositions of the invention may therefore be good regulators of T cell independent immune responses to environmental pathogens. In particular, the unconventional B cell populations (CD5+) that are associated with mucosal sites and responsible for much of the innate immunity in humans may respond to antibodies or compositions of the invention thereby enhancing or inhibiting individual's immune status.

Gene Therapy (05111 In a specific embodiment, nucleic acids comprising sequences encoding antibodies or functional derivatives thereof, are administered to treat, inhibit or prevent a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of BLyS and/or its receptor, by way of gene therapy. Gene therapy refers to therapy performed by the administration to a subject of an expressed or expressible nucleic acid. In this embodiment of the invention, the nucleic acids produce their encoded protein that mediates a therapeutic effect.
[0512] Any of the methods for gene therapy available in the art can be used according to the present invention. Exemplary methods are described below.
[0513] For general reviews of the methods of gene therapy, see Goldspiel et al., Clinical Pharmacy 12:488-505 (1993); Wu and Wu, Biotherapy 3:87-95 (1991);

May, TIBTECH 1 l(5):155-215 (1993). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology which can be used are described in Ausubel et al.
(eds.), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1993); and Kriegler, Gene Transfer and Expression, A. Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY (1990).
[0514] In a preferred aspect, a composition of the invention comprises, or alternatively consists of, nucleic acids encoding an antibody, said nucleic acids being part of an expression vector that expresses the antibody or fragments or chimeric proteins or heavy or light chains thereof in a suitable host. In particular, such nucleic acids have promoters, preferably heterologous promoters, operably linked to the antibody coding region, said promoter being inducible or constitutive, and, optionally, tissue-specific. In another particular embodiment, nucleic acid molecules are used in which the antibody coding sequences and any other desired sequences are flanked by regions that promote homologous recombination at a desired site in the genome, thus providing for intrachromosomal expression of the antibody encoding nucleic acids (Koller and Smithies, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:8932-8935 (1989); Zijlstra et al., Nature 342:435-438 (1989). In specific embodiments, the expressed antibody molecule is an scFv;
alternatively, the nucleic acid sequences include sequences encoding both the heavy and light chains, or fragments or variants thereof, of an antibody.
[0515] Delivery of the nucleic acids into a patient may be either direct, in which case the patient is directly exposed to the nucleic acid or nucleic acid-carrying vectors, or indirect, in which case, cells are first transformed with the nucleic acids in vitro, then transplanted into the patient. These two approaches are known, respectively, as in vivo or ex vivo gene therapy.

[05161 In a specific embodiment, the nucleic acid sequences are directly administered in vivo, where it is expressed to produce the encoded product.
This can be accomplished by any of numerous methods known in the art, e.g., by constructing them as part of an appropriate nucleic acid expression vector and administering it so that they become intracellular, e.g., by infection using defective or attenuated retrovirals or other viral vectors (see U.S. Patent No. 4,980,286), or by direct injection of naked DNA, or by use of microparticle bombardment (e.g., a gene gun; Biolistic, Dupont), or coating with lipids or cell-surface receptors or transfecting agents, encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, or microcapsules, or by administering them in linkage to a peptide which is known to enter the nucleus, by administering it in linkage to a ligand subject to receptor-mediated endocytosis (see, e.g., Wu and Wu, J. Biol. Chem. 262:4429-4432 (1987)) (which can be used to target cell types specifically expressing the receptors), etc. In another embodiment, nucleic acid-ligand complexes can be formed in which the ligand comprises a fusogenic viral peptide to disrupt endosomes, allowing the nucleic acid to avoid lysosomal degradation. In yet another embodiment, the nucleic acid can be targeted in vivo for cell specific uptake and expression, by targeting a specific receptor (see, e.g., PCT Publications WO 92/06 180; WO 92/22635; W092/203 16; W093/14188, WO
93/20221). Alternatively, the nucleic acid can be introduced intracellularly and incorporated within host cell DNA for expression, by homologous recombination (Koller and Smithies, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:8932-8935 (1989); Zijlstra et al., Nature 342:435-438 (1989)).
[05171 In a specific embodiment, viral vectors that contains nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody of the invention or fragments or variants thereof are used. For example, a retroviral vector can be used (see Miller et al., Meth. Enzymol.
217:581-599 (1993)). These retroviral vectors contain the components necessary for the correct packaging of the viral genome and integration into the host cell DNA. The nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibody to be used in gene therapy are cloned into one or more vectors, which facilitates delivery of the gene into a patient.* More detail about retroviral vectors can be found in Boesen et al., Biotherapy 6:29 1-302 (1994), which describes the use of a retroviral vector to deliver the mdr 1 gene to hematopoietic stem cells in order to make the stem cells more resistant to chemotherapy. Other references illustrating the use of retroviral vectors in gene therapy are: Clowes et al., J. Clin. Invest.
93:644-651(1994);

Klein et al., Blood 83:1467-1473 (1994); Salmons and Gunzberg, Human Gene Therapy 4:129-141 (1993); and Grossman and Wilson, Curr. Opin. in Genetics and Devel.
3:110-114 (1993).
[0518] Adenoviruses are other viral vectors that can be used in gene therapy.
Adenoviruses are especially attractive vehicles for delivering genes to respiratory epithelia. Adenoviruses naturally infect respiratory epithelia where they cause a mild disease. Other targets for adenovirus-based delivery systems are liver, the central nervous system, endothelial cells, and muscle. Adenoviruses have the advantage of being capable of infecting non-dividing cells. Kozarsky and Wilson, Current Opinion in Genetics and Development 3:499-503 (1993) present a review of adenovirus-based gene therapy. Bout et al., Human Gene Therapy 5:3-10 (1994) demonstrated the use of adenovirus vectors to transfer genes to the respiratory epithelia of rhesus monkeys. Other instances of the use of adenoviruses in gene therapy can be found in Rosenfeld et al., Science 252:431-(1991); Rosenfeld et al., Cell 68:143- 155 (1992); Mastrangeli et al., J.
Clin. Invest.
91:225-234 (1993); PCT Publication W094112649; and Wang, et al., Gene Therapy 2:775-783 (1995). In a preferred embodiment, adenovirus vectors are used.
[0519] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has also been proposed for use in gene therapy (Walsh et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 204:289-300 (1993); U.S.
Patent No.
5,436,146).
[0520] Another approach to gene therapy involves transferring a gene to cells in tissue culture by such methods as electroporation, lipofection, calcium phosphate mediated transfection, or viral infection. Usually, the method of transfer includes the transfer of a selectable marker to the cells. The cells are then placed under selection to isolate those cells that have taken up and are expressing the transferred gene. Those cells are then delivered to a patient.
[0521] In this embodiment, the nucleic acid is introduced into a cell prior to administration in vivo of the resulting recombinant cell. Such introduction can be carried out by any method known in the art, including but not limited to transfection, electroporation, microinjection, infection with a viral or bacteriophage vector containing the nucleic acid sequences, cell fusion, chromosome-mediated gene transfer, microcell-mediated gene transfer, spheroplast fusion, etc. Numerous techniques are known in the art for the introduction of foreign genes into cells (see, e.g., Loeffler and Behr, Meth.

Enzymol. 217:599-618 (1993); Cohen et al., Meth. Enzymol. 217:618-644 (1993);
Clin.
Pharma. Ther. 29:69-92m (1985)) and may be used in accordance with the present invention, provided that the necessary developmental and physiological functions of the recipient cells are not disrupted. The technique should provide for the stable transfer of the nucleic acid to the cell, so that the nucleic acid is expressible by the cell and preferably heritable and expressible by its cell progeny.
[0522] The resulting recombinant cells can be delivered to a patient by various methods known in the art. Recombinant blood cells (e.g., hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells) are preferably administered intravenously. The amount of cells envisioned for use depends on the desired effect, patient state, etc., and can be determined by one skilled in the art.
[0523] Cells into which a nucleic acid can be introduced for purposes of gene therapy encompass any desired, available cell type, and include but are not limited to, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, muscle cells, hepatocytes;
blood cells such as T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, granulocytes; various stem or progenitor cells, in particular hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells, e.g., as obtained from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, peripheral blood, fetal liver, etc.
[0524] In a preferred embodiment, the cell used for gene therapy is autologous to the patient.
[0525] In an embodiment in which recombinant cells are used in gene therapy, nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody or fragment thereof are introduced into the cells such that they are expressible by the cells or their progeny, and the recombinant cells are then administered in vivo for therapeutic effect. In a specific embodiment, stem or progenitor cells are used. Any stem and/or progenitor cells which can be isolated and maintained in vitro can potentially be used in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention (see e.g. PCT Publication WO 94/08598; Stemple and Anderson, Cell 7 1:973-985 (1992); Rheinwald, Meth. Cell Bio. 21A:229 (1980); and Pittelkow and Scott, Mayo Clinic Proc. 61:771 (1986)).
[0526] In a specific embodiment, the nucleic acid to be introduced for purposes of gene therapy comprises an inducible promoter operably, linked to the coding region, such that expression of the nucleic acid is controllable by controlling the presence or absence of the appropriate inducer of transcription.

Demonstration of Therapeutic or Prophylactic Utility of a Composition [0527] The compounds of the invention are preferably tested in vitro, and then in vivo for the desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity, prior to use in humans. For example, in vitro assays which can be used to determine whether administration of a specific antibody or composition of the present invention is indicated, include in vitro cell culture assays in which a patient tissue sample is grown in culture, and exposed to or otherwise administered an antibody or composition of the present invention, and the.effect of such an antibody or composition of the present invention upon the tissue sample is observed. In various specific embodiments, in vitro assays can be carried out with representative cells of cell types involved in a patient's disorder, to determine if an antibody or composition of the present invention has a desired effect upon such cell types.
Preferably, the antibodies or compositions of the invention are also tested in in vitro assays and animal model systems prior to administration to humans.
[0528] Antibodies or compositions of the present invention for use in therapy can be tested for their toxicity in suitable animal model systems, including but not limited to rats, mice, chicken, cows, monkeys, and rabbits. For in vivo testing of an antibody or composition's toxicity any animal model system known in the art may be used.
[0529] Efficacy in treating or preventing viral infection may be demonstrated by detecting the ability of an antibody or composition of the invention to inhibit the replication of the virus, to inhibit transmission or prevent the virus from establishing itself in its host, or to prevent, ameliorate or alleviate the symptoms of disease a progression.
The treatment is considered therapeutic if there is, for example, a reduction in viral load, amelioration of one or more symptoms, or a decrease in mortality and/or morbidity following administration of an antibody or composition of the invention.
[0530] Antibodies or compositions of the invention can be tested for the ability. to induce the expression of cytokines such as IFN-y, by contacting cells, preferably human cells, with an antibody or composition of the invention or a control antibody or control composition and determining the ability of the antibody or composition of the invention to induce one or more cytokines. Techniques known to those of skill in the art can be used to measure the level of expression of cytokines. For example, the level of expression of cytokines can be measured by analyzing the level of RNA of cytokines by, for example, RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis, and by analyzing the level of cytokines by, for example, immunoprecipitation followed by western blot analysis and ELISA. In a preferred embodiment, a compound of the invention is tested for its ability to induce the expression of IFN-y_ [0531] Antibodies or compositions of the invention can be tested for their ability to modulate the biological activity of immune cells by contacting immune cells, preferably human immune cells (e.g., T-cells, B-cells, and Natural Killer cells), with an antibody or composition of the invention or a control compound and determining the ability of the antibody or composition of the invention to modulate (i.e, increase or decrease) the biological activity of immune cells. The ability of an antibody or composition of the invention to modulate the biological activity of immune cells can be assessed by detecting the expression of antigens, detecting the proliferation of immune cells (i.e., B-cell proliferation), detecting the activation of signaling molecules, detecting the effector function of immune cells, or detecting the differentiation of immune cells.
Techniques known to those of skill in the art can be used for measuring these activities.
For example, cellular proliferation can be assayed by 3H-thymidine incorporation assays and trypan blue cell counts. Antigen expression can be assayed, for example, by immunoassays including, but not limited to, competitive and non-competitive assay systems using techniques such as western blots, immunohistochemistry radioimmunoassays, ELISA
(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), "sandwich" immunoassays, immunoprecipitation assays, precipitin reactions, gel diffusion precipitin reactions, immunodiffusion assays, agglutination assays, complement-fixation assays, immunoradiometric assays, fluorescent immunoassays, protein A immunoassays and FACS analysis. The activation of signaling molecules can be assayed, for example, by kinase assays and electrophoretic shift assays (EMSAs). In a preferred embodiment, the ability of an antibody or composition of the invention to induce B-cell proliferation is measured. In another preferred embodiment, the ability of an antibody or composition of the invention to modulate immunoglobulin expression is measured.
[0532] Antibodies or compositions of the invention can be tested for their ability to reduce tumor formation in in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays. Antibodies or compositions of the invention can also be tested for their ability to inhibit viral replication or reduce viral load in in vitro and in vivo assays. Antibodies or compositions of the invention can also be tested for their ability to reduce bacterial numbers in in vitro and in vivo assays known to those of skill in the art. Antibodies or compositions of the invention can also be tested for their ability to alleviate of one or more symptoms associated with cancer, an immune disorder (e.g., an inflammatory disease), a neurological disorder or an infectious disease. Antibodies or compositions of the invention can also be tested for their ability to decrease the time course of the infectious disease. Further, antibodies or compositions of the invention can be tested for their ability to increase the survival period of animals suffering from disease or disorder, including cancer, an immune disorder or an infectious disease. Techniques known to those of skill in the art can be used to analyze the function of the antibodies or compositions of the invention in vivo.

Therapeutic/Prophylactic Compositions and Administration [0533] The invention provides methods of treatment, inhibition and prophylaxis by administration to a subject of an effective amount of antibody (or fragment or variant.
thereof) or pharmaceutical composition of the invention, preferably an antibody of the invention. In a preferred aspect, an antibody or fragment or variant thereof is substantially purified (i.e., substantially free from substances that limit its effect or produce undesired side-effects). The subject is preferably an animal, including but not limited to, animals such as cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs, etc., and is preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.
[0534] Formulations and methods of administration that can be employed when the compound comprises a nucleic acid or an immunoglobulin are described above;
additional appropriate formulations and routes of administration can be selected from among those described herein below.
[0535] Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer antibody or fragment or variant thereof of the invention, e.g., encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, recombinant cells capable of expressing the antibody or antibody fragment, receptor-mediated endocytosis (see, e.g., Wu and Wu, J.
Biol. Chem.
262:4429-4432 (1987)), construction of a nucleic acid as part of a retroviral or other vector, etc. Methods of introduction include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The compositions may be administered by any convenient route, for example by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration can be systemic or local. In addition, it may be desirable to introduce the phannaceutical compositions of the invention into the central nervous system by any suitable route, including intraventricular and intrathecal injection; intraventricular injection may be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir. Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e.g., by use of an inhaler or nebulizer, and formulation with an aerosolizing agent.
[05361 In a specific embodiment, it may be desirable to administer the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention locally to the area in need of treatment; this may be achieved by, for example, and not by way of limitation, local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers. Preferably, when administering a protein, including an antibody, of the invention, care must be taken to use materials to which the protein does not absorb.
[05371 In another embodiment, the composition can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, Science 249:1527-1533 (1990); Treat et al., in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez-Berestein and Fidler (eds.), Liss, New York, pp. 353- 365 (1989); Lopez-Berestein, ibid., pp. 3 17-327; see generally ibid.).
[05381 In yet another embodiment, the composition can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra;
Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:20 1 (1987); Buchwald et al., Surgery 88:507 (1980); Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 321:574 (1989)). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Florida (1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball (eds.), Wiley, New York (1984);

Ranger and Peppas, J., Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. 23:61 (1983); see also Levy et al., Science 228:190 (1985); During et al., Ann. Neurol. 25:35 1 (1989); Howard et al., J.Neurosurg. 7 1:105 (1989)). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the therapeutic target, i.e., the brain, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115-138 (1984)).
[0539] Other controlled release systems are discussed in the review by Langer (Science 249:1527-1533 (1990)).
[0540] In a specific embodiment where the composition of the invention is a nucleic acid encoding a protein, the nucleic acid can be administered in vivo to promote expression of its encoded protein, by constructing it as part of an appropriate nucleic acid expression vector and administering it so that it becomes intracellular, e.g., by use of a retroviral vector (see U.S. Patent No. 4,980,286), or by direct injection, or by use of ..
microparticle bombardment (e.g., a gene gun; Biolistic, Dupont), or coating with lipids or cell-surface receptors or transfecting agents, or by administering it in linkage to a homeobox- like peptide which is known to enter the nucleus (see e.g., Joliot et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad.;Sci. USA 88:1864-1868 (1991)), etc. Alternatively, a nucleic acid can be introduced intracellularly and incorporated within host cell DNA for expression, by homologous recombination.
[0541] The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or a fragment thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In a specific embodiment, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term "carrier"
refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the therapeutic is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Water is a preferred carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like. The composition, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents. These compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsion, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations and the like. The composition can be formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and carriers such as triglycerides. Oral formulation can include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Examples of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences"
by E.W.
Martin. Such compositions will contain a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody or fragment thereof, preferably in purified form, together with a suitable amount of carrier so as to provide the form for proper administration to the patient. The formulation should suit the mode of administration.
[0542] . In a preferred embodiment, the composition is formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for intravenous administration to human beings. Typically, compositions for intravenous administration are solutions in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the composition may also include a solubilizing agent and a local anesthetic such as lignocamne to ease pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as -an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the composition is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the composition is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients may be mixed prior to administration.
[0543] The compositions of the invention can be formulated as neutral or salt forms. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those formed with anions such as those derived from hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, tartaric acids, etc., and those formed with cations such as those derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, ferric hydroxides, isopropylamine, triethylamine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine, procaine, etc.

[0544] The amount of the composition of the invention which will be effective in the treatment, inhibition and prevention of a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disease or disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
[0545] For antibodies, the dosage administered to a patient is typically 0.1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg of the patient's body weight. Preferably, the dosage administered to a patient is between 0.1 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg of the patient's body weight, more preferably 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of the patient's body weight. Generally, human antibodies have a longer half-life within the human body than antibodies from other species due to the immune response to the foreign polypeptides. Thus, lower dosages of human antibodies and less frequent administration is often possible. Further, the dosage and frequency of administration of therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be reduced by enhancing uptake and tissue penetration (e.g., into the brain) of the antibodies by modifications such as, for example, lipidation.

In a specific embodiment, the kits of the present invention contain a substantially isolated BLyS
polypeptide as a control.

Preferably, the kits of the present invention further comprise a control antibody which does not react with BLyS. In another specific embodiment, the kits of the.present invention contain a means for detecting the binding of an antibody to BLyS
(e.g., the antibody may be conjugated to a detectable substrate such as a fluorescent compound, an enzymatic substrate, a radioactive compound or a luminescent compound, or a second antibody which recognizes the first antibody may be conjugated to a detectable substrate).
In specific embodiments, the kit may include a recombinantly produced or chemically synthesized BLyS. The BLyS provided in the kit may also be attached to a solid support.
In a more specific embodiment the detecting means of the above-described kit includes a solid support to which BLyS is attached. Such a kit may also include a non-attached reporter-labeled anti-human antibody. In this embodiment, binding of the antibody to BLyS can be detected by binding of the said reporter-labeled antibody.
[05901 In an additional embodiment, the invention includes a diagnostic kit for use in screening serum containing antigens of the polypeptide of the invention.
The diagnostic kit includes a substantially isolated antibody specifically immunoreactive with BLyS, and means for detecting the binding of BLyS to the antibody. In one embodiment, the antibody is attached to a 'solid support. In a specific embodiment, the antibody may be a monoclonal antibody. The detecting means of the kit may include a second, labeled monoclonal antibody. Alternatively, or in addition, the detecting means may include a labeled, competing antigen.
[05911 In one diagnostic configuration, test serum is reacted with a solid phase reagent having a surface-bound BLyS obtained by the methods of the present invention.
After BLyS binds to a specific antibody, the unbound serum components are removed by washing, reporter-labeled anti-human antibody is added, unbound anti-human antibody is removed by washing, and a reagent is reacted with reporter-labeled anti-human antibody to bind reporter to the reagent in proportion to the amount of bound anti-BLyS
antibody on the solid support. Typically, the reporter is an enzyme which is detected by incubating the solid phase in the presence of a suitable fluorometric, luminescent or colorimetric substrate.
[05921 The solid surface reagent in the above assay is prepared by known techniques for attaching protein material to solid support material, such as polymeric beads, dip sticks, 96-well plate or filter material. These attachment methods generally include non-specific adsorption of the protein to the support or covalent attachment of the protein, typically through a free amine group, to a chemically reactive group on the solid support, such as an activated carboxyl, hydroxyl, or aldehyde group.
Alternatively, streptavidin coated plates can be used in conjunction with biotinylated antigen(s).
[0593] Thus, the invention provides an assay system or kit for carrying out this diagnostic method. The kit generally includes a support with surface-bound recombinant BLyS, and a reporter-labeled anti-human antibody for detecting surface-bound anti-BLyS
antibody.

[0667) In the following section "immobilized BLyS" refers to a soluble form of BLyS or biotinylated BLyS coated on a plastic assay plate (e.g., a 96 well plate), but does not refer to histidine tagged BLyS coated on a plastic assay plate.;
"biotinylated BLyS" is a soluble form of BLyS except when used to coat an ELISA plate, in which case it would be "immobilized BLyS." Membrane bound forms of BLyS include, but are not limited to, U937 and P388 plasma membranes.

Example 1: Antibodies Immunospecifically Binding to Soluble And Membrane-Bound BLyS

[0668] A library of phage was screened in an assay to identify those phage displaying scFvs that immunospecifically bind to the soluble and membrane-bound forms of BLyS. Phage displaying scFvs that bound to immobilized BLyS were identified after panning on immobilized BLyS and assessment by ELISA for binding to immobilized BLyS. The BLyS that was immobilized on plates for these assays was purified from supernatants of Sf9 cells infected with a baculovirus expression construct as described in Moore et al., Science 285:260-263.
Each of the identified scFvs were then sequenced. Certain sequences were isolated multiple times, thus a panel (panel 1) containing one member of each unique sequences was generated and further characterized for their ability to immunospecifically bind to the soluble and membrane-bound forms of BLyS.
[0669] The derived amino acid sequences of these scFvs are shown in Table 1 above. The individual VH and VL segments of the scFvs were aligned to the known human germline sequences in V-BASE and the closest germline identified.
Example 2: Specificity of scFvs for BLyS and Membrane-Bound BLyS

[0670] The specificity of each of the scFvs for both BLyS and membrane-bound BLyS was determined by phage ELISA. BLyS was immobilised onto plastic as a purified soluble form of the protein or as a membrane-bound form present on plasma membrane preparations from the human macrophage-like cell line, U937.

Maintenance of U937 Cells [0671] U937 cells are a human monocyte-like, histiocytic lymphoma cell line known to express BLyS on their plasma membranes. They were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 4mM L-glutamine, 10% FCS, 10 U penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin (all reagents from Sigma). The cells were thawed from frozen stock and are either used for plasma membrane preparation, or split 1:5, after 2 days in culture when the cell density reaches 1 x 106/ml.

Preparation of U937 Plasma Membranes [06721 To prepare plasma membranes, 1x109 U937 cells were harvested from their culture medium by centrifugation at 1000 rpm at 4 C for 5 minutes in a benchtop centrifuge. The cells were resuspended in 40 ml 12 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 250 mM
sucrose and placed on ice. The cells are then lysed using a hand-held electric homogenizer (Labortechnik IKA Ultra-Turrax) for four, one minute, bursts. To check that cell lysis had occurred, 10 l cell lysate was added to 10 d Trypan blue and the cell lysate was examined under a microscope. After confirming lysis, the homogenate was centrifuged at 270 x g, for 10 minutes at 4 C to pellet the nuclear fraction and the supernatant was retained. The supernatant was centrifuged at 8000 x g, 10 mins, 4 C, to pellet the mitochondrial and lysosomal fractions and the supernatant was retained. The supernatant was then centrifuged at 100000 x g, 60 mins, 4 C to pellet the plasma membrane enriched fraction. The supernatant was discarded and the plasma membrane pellet was resuspended in 1 ml PBS and stored at -70 C. The protein concentration of the plasma membrane fraction was determined using a protein quantification kit (Biorad). Typical yields were between 5 and 10 mg of plasma membranes.

Phage ELISA
[06731 To determine the specificity of each of the unique scFvs, a phage ELISA
was performed for each scFv against human BLyS, U937 plasma membranes, TNFa (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), BSA and uncoated well. Individual E. coli colonies containing a phagemid representing one of the unique scFvs from panel lwere inoculated into 96-well plates containing 100 p1 2TYAG medium per well. Plates were incubated at 37 C for 4 hours, shaking. M13K07 helper phage was added to each well to a MOI
of 10 and the plates were incubated for a further 1 hour at 37 C. The plates were centrifuged in a benchtop centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed and cell pellets were resuspended in 100 [d 2TYAK and incubated at 30 C overnight, shaking.
The next day, plates were centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10 min and the 100 l phage-containing supernatant from each well carefully transferred into a fresh 96-well plate.
Twenty l of 6xMPBS was added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour to pre-block the phage prior to ELISA.

[001] Flexible 96-well plates (Falcon) were coated overnight at 4 C with human BLyS (1 g/ml) in PBS, U937 plasma membranes (10 g/ml) in PBS, TNFa (1 g/ml) in PBS, BSA (1 g/ml) in PBS, or PBS. After coating, the solutions were removed from the wells, and the plates were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in MPBS. The plates were washed 3 times with PBS and then 50 gl of pre-blocked phage was added to each well. The plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and then washed with 3 changes of PBST followed by 3 changes of PBS. To each well, 50 l of an anti-gene VIII-HRP conjugate (Pharmacia) at a 1 to 5000 dilution in MPBS was added and the plates incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Each plate was washed three times with PBST
followed by three times with PBS. Then 50 l of an HRP-labelled anti-mouse polymer (DAKO EnVision) diluted 1/50 in 3% MPBS was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Each plate was then washed three times with PBST followed by three times with PBS. Fifty Sul of TMB substrate was then added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes or until colour development. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 25 prl of 0.5 M H2SO4. The signal generated was measured by reading the absorbance at 450nm (A450) using a microtiter plate reader (Bio-Rad 3550).

[001] The results for 3 clones (I006E07,1008D05 and I016F04) are shown in Figure 1. All 3 scFvs recognize immobilized BLyS and U937 plasma membranes but do not recognize TNFa, BSA or an uncoated well (PBS only). These results indicate that these scFvs specifically recognize immobilized BLyS and membrane-bound BLyS.
Example 3: Inhibition in an In Vitro Receptor Binding Assay by Phage ScFvs [0676] All of the unique phage scFvs in panel 1 were assessed for their ability to inhibit soluble BLyS binding to its cognate receptor on 1M9 cells.

Biotinylation of BLyS

[0677] One hundred jig of either human or mouse BLyS was dialysed overnight at 4 C against 50 mM sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate) pH8.5 using a slide-a-lyzer cassette (Pierce). The next day, NHS-biotin (Pierce) was dissolved in DMSO to 13.3 mg/ml. This was then added to the BLyS at a molar ratio of 20:1 biotin:BLyS, mixed and incubated on ice for 2 hours. The biotinylated BLyS was then dialysed back into sterile PBS (Sigma) using a slide-a-lyzer cassette overnight at 4 C. The biological activity of the biotinylated BLyS was confirmed using the receptor binding inhibition assay (see below).

Maintenance of IM9 cells [0678] IM9 cells are a human B lymphocyte cell line. They were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 4 mM L-glutamine, 10% FCS, 10 U penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin (all reagents from Sigma). The cells are thawed from frozen stock and can be used in assays after 5 days in culture when they reach a density of 4 - 8 x 105 /ml.
Receptor binding inhibition assay [0679] Individual E. coli colonies containing a phagemid representing one of the unique scFvs from panel 1 were inoculated into 96-well plates containing 100 p12TYAG
medium per well. Plates were incubated at 37 C for 4 hours, shaking. M13KO7 helper phage was added to each well to a MOI of 10 and the plates were incubated for a further 1 hour at 37 C. The plates were centrifuged in a benchtop centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed and cell pellets were resuspended in 100 l 2TYAK and incubated at 30 C overnight, shaking. The next day, plates were centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10 min and the 100 l phage-containing supernatant from each well carefully transferred into a fresh 96-well plate. Phage were diluted 1 in 2 in MPBS prior to use.
[001] Flat-bottomed 96-well plates (Costar) were coated with 100 l per well of a 1:10 dilution of poly-L-lysine (Sigma) in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature.
The plates were then washed twice with water, allowed to air-dry and placed at 4 C
overnight. One hundred l of IM9 cells (at 106/ml in RPMI-1640 culture medium) were then added to each well. Plates were then centrifuged at 3200 rpm for 5 mins to pellet the cells. The media was carefully aspirated and 200 l of MPBS added to each well. The plates were then allowed to block for 1 hour at room temperature.
[0681] To a separate 96-well plate 10 l of biotinylated BLyS (at 162.5 ng/ml) in MPBS was added to each well to give a final concentration of 25 ng/ml. Fifty-five p1 of each appropriate phage supernatant was added to each well and the final volume in each well was 65 l. Plates were then incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes.

[06821 The IM9 coated plates were washed twice in PBS, tapped dry and immediately 50 l of the phage/biotinylated-BLyS mix was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Plates were washed three times in PBST and three times in PBS, tapped dry and 50 l of streptavidin-Delfia (Wallac) was added to each well at 1:1000 dilution in the Manufacturer's assay buffer. The plates were then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and washed six times in Delfia wash solution (Wallac).
After tapping the plates dry, 100 l per well of Delfia enhancement solution (Wallac) was added. The plates were gently tapped to encourage micelle formation, incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and fluorescence read on a Wallac 1420 workstation at 6520 nM.

[06831 Results for 3 phage scFvs (100 1 C09, 1018D07 and 1016H07) that inhibited the binding of biotinylated BLyS are shown in Figure 2. Maximal binding of biotinylated BLyS to its receptor (bio-BLyS only), the background signal in the absence of biotinylated BLyS (no bio-BLyS), and results with an irrelevant (i.e., does not recognize BLyS) phage antibody are also shown. All 3 phage scFvs inhibited biotinylated BLyS binding to its receptor on IM9 cells, identifying these scFvs as scFvs that bind the soluble form of BLyS. These scFvs also bind to U937 membranes, thus they also bind the membrane bound form of BLyS.

[06841 Forty-eight of the scFvs from panel I that demonstrated the greatest inhibition as phage particles in this assay were chosen for further study.
These 48 scFvs are listed in Table 3.

Table 3. scFvs that Inhibit the Binding of Biotinylated-BLyS to its Receptor Antibody Antibody Antibody Antibody Antibody Example 4: Specificity of Anti-BLyS Antibodies [0685] The specificity of the 48 scFvs listed in Table 3 for human and murine BLyS was determined using phage ELISA.

Phage ELISA
[001] To determine the specificity of the 48 scFvs, a phage ELISA was performed against human and mouse BLyS, and a panel of related and unrelated human antigens: Fas ligand, TRAIL, TNFa, TNF(3, and PBS. The : Fas ligand, TRAIL, TNFa, and TNF(3 antigens were obtained from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN. Individual E.
coli colonies containing phagemid were inoculated into 5 ml 2YTAG and incubated at 37 C for 4 hours, shaking. M13K07 helper phage (Pharmacia) was added to each tube to a MOI of 10 and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 C for 1 hour, the first 30 minutes static and the final 30 minutes with gentle shaking. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 3,500 rpm for 10 minutes and the supernatant discarded. Cell pellets were resuspended in ml 2TYAK and incubated at 30 C overnight with shaking. The next day, the cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 3,500 rpm for 10 minutes. The phage-containing supernatant (5 ml) was carefully transferred to a fresh tube, 1 ml of 6MPBS was added, and the tube was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour to pre-block the phage prior to ELISA.
[0687] All antigens were coated at 1 g/ml. ELISAs were performed essentially as described in Example 2. The only exception to this being the detection of phage antibody binding to mouse BLyS where the step involving incubation with the HRP-labelled anti-mouse polymer was omitted. Binding to mouse BLyS was detected with TMB as in Section Example 2.
[0688] All 48 scFvs are specific for immobilized human BLyS and 43 out of the 48 scFvs cross-react with immobilized mouse BLyS but not with any other unrelated or related antigen tested. 1008C03,1007171 1, I037E07, I037E12, and I016H07 did not bind murine BLyS. Results for two scFvs, I022D01 and I03 1F02, are shown in Figure 3. Both these scFvs specifically recognize human and mouse BLyS but not any other unrelated or related antigen tested.

Example 5: Specificity for the Membrane-Bound Form of BLyS

[0689] The specificity of 48 scFvs for membrane-bound BLyS was determined by the phage ELISA described in Example 2. BLyS was immobilised onto plastic as a membrane-bound form present on plasma membranes preparations from the human macrophage-like cell line, U937. This cell line is known to express the membrane-bound form of human BLyS.

[0690] To demonstrate that this binding is specific for membrane-bound BLyS, a competition ELISA was developed to determine if the ELISA signal for an individual antibody on U937's could be competed out by pre-incubation with either BLyS or TNFa.
An anti-BLyS antibody that also recognizes membrane-bound BLyS would be expected to demonstrate a signal reduction with free BLyS but not free TNFU.

Competition ELISA

[0691] Individual E. coli colonies containing phagemid for each of the 48 scFvs listed in Table 3 were inoculated into 5 ml 2YTAG and incubated at 37 C for 4 hours, shaking. M13KO7 helper phage (Pharmacia) was added to each tube to a MOI of 10 and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 C for 1 hour, the first 30 minutes static and the final 30 minutes with gentle shaking. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 3,500 rpm for 10 minutes and the supernatant discarded. Cell pellets were resuspended in 5 ml 2TYAK and incubated at 30 C overnight with shaking. The next day, the cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 3,500 rpm for 10 minutes. The phage-containing supernatants (5 ml) were carefully transferred to a fresh tube.

[0692] For each of the 48 scFvs listed in Table 3, two aliquots of 20 16xMPBS
were pipetted into separate wells of a 96-well plate (Greiner). The first aliquot was supplemented with BLyS to a final concentration of 0.5 dug/m1. The second aliquot was supplemented with TNF-a to a final concentration of 0.5 g/ml. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. One hundred Sul of each phage supernatant was then added to each aliquot and mixed by pipetting up and down. The phage were incubated ( competing antigen) at room temperature for 1 hour.
[0693] Flexible 96-well plates (Falcon) were coated overnight at 4 C with 50 l of g/ml U937 plasma membranes. After coating, the plates were washed 3 times with PBS and blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with 200 l MPBS. The plates were washed 3 times with PBS and 50 l of phage ( competing antigen) was added to each appropriate well. The plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and then washed with 3 changes of PBST followed by 3 changes of PBS. To each well, 50 l of a mouse anti-gene VIII-HRP conjugate (Pharmacia) at a 1:5000 dilution in MPBS
was added and the plates incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Each plate was washed three times with PBST followed by three times with PBS. Then 50 l of an HRP-labelled anti-mouse polymer (DAKO EnVision) diluted 1:50 in 3% MPBS was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Each plate was then washed three times with PBST followed by three times with PBS. Fifty gl of TMB substrate was then added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes or until color development. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 25 l of 0.5 M H2SO4.
The signal generated was measured by reading the absorbance at 450nm (A450) using a microtiter plate reader (Bio-Rad 3550).
[0694] All 48 scFvs bind to U937 plasma membrane preparations. This signal could be competed out by pre-incubation of the phage antibody with BLyS but not by pre-incubation with TNF-a. This indicates that the 48 scFvs specifically recognize membrane-bound BLyS as well as soluble BLyS. Typical results are exemplified by scFvs 1031F09, I050A12 and I051C04 and are shown in Figure 4. All 3 scFvs demonstrate binding to U937 plasma membranes. This binding was specifically competed out with BLyS but did not compete with TNF-a, demonstrating specific recognition of membrane-bound BLyS.

Example 6: scFv Off-rate Determinations [0695] All off-rate determinations were performed on BlAcore 2000 machines, using the BlAcore 2000 Control Software and evaluated using the BlAevaluation 3.0 software.

Preparation of a Low Density BLyS Surface [0696] A 500RU surface was prepared for kinetic studies with purified scFvs. A
low density BLyS surface (500 RU BLyS coupled) was prepared in flow cell 2 by amine coupling to a CM5 chip. A new CM5 chip was inserted into the BIAcore and a sensorgram initiated with HBS buffer at a flow rate of 5 Umin. The NHS and EDC
coupling solutions (BIAcore) were mixed according to manufacturer's instructions and 30 l injected over the CM5 surface. Fifty l of BLyS at 1 .tg/ml in 10 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH4, was then injected followed by 30 l of ethanolamine-HC1 solution (BlAcore).
The flow rate was then adjusted to 20 gl/min and 10 l of 4M guanidine hydrochloride in HBS injected over the surface. This strips the surface of non-covalently bound BLyS.
Measurement of scFv off-rate kinetics on the low density surfaces [0697] The chip containing the low density BLyS surface was inserted in to the BlAcore. A dilution series of purified scFvs was prepared in HBS, typically 50 gg/ml doubling dilutions down to 1.5 ug/ml. The dilution series was then injected sequentially over the low density BLyS surface (and blank control) using the following program:

[0699] The binding curves for individual scFvs were analyzed using the BlAevaluation software to determine antibody off-rates. Kinetic analysis for a typical scFv antibody, 1003C02, is shown in Figure 5. I003C02 has a K ff = 6 x 10 -3 s-'.
Example 7: Inhibition in an In Vitro Receptor Binding Assay by scFv Antibodies [0700] The 48 scFvs listed in Table 3 were purified and assessed for their ability to inhibit BLyS binding to its receptor on IM9 cells.

Purification of scFv [0701] To determine the inhibitory potency of anti-BLyS scFv, scFv's were first prepared by IMAC. 2TYAG (5 ml) was inoculated with a single colony and grown overnight at 30 C, shaking. This overnight culture was then used to inoculate 500 ml of 2TY containing 100 g/ml ampicillin and 0.1% Glucose, and grown at 30 C, shaking, until an A600 of 1.0 was attained. IPTG was added to 1 mM and the culture was grown for a further 3.5 hours at 30 C.

[07021 Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 5,000rpm, and resuspended in ml of TES. A further 15 ml of a 1:5 dilution (in water) of TES was added, and the cell suspension incubated on a turning wheel at 4 C for 30 minutes. This causes osmotic shock and yields a periplasmic extract containing the scFv. Residual cells and debris were pelleted by centrifugation at 9,000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4 C. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube, and 50 jl of 1 M MgCl2 added. Two ml of a Ni-NTA
agarose (Qiagen), pre-washed with buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 8, 300 mM NaCl) together with a protease inhibitor tablet (Boehringer Mannheim) were then added to the periplasmic extract. The preparation was incubated, rotating, overnight at 4 C. The Ni-NTA was pelleted by centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was aspirated. The agarose beads were washed 3 times with 50 ml wash buffer, centrifuging to collect the agarose in between each wash. Ten ml of wash buffer was added after the final wash, and the slurry was loaded on to a polyprep column (BioRad). Two ml elution buffer (50 mM NaPi (sodium phosphate), pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, 250 mM imidazole) was added to the drained agarose, and the eluate was collected. IMAC purified scFv was buffer exchanged in to PBS by use of a Nap 5 column (Pharmacia) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The A280 was read and the protein concentration determined using a molar extinction coefficient of 1 mg/ml protein = A280 1.4. Purified scFv was stored in 500 yl aliquots at -70 C.

Receptor Binding Inhibition Assay [0011 Flat-bottomed 96-well plates (Costar) were coated with 100 tl per well of a 1:10 dilution of poly-L-lysine (Sigma) in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature.
The plates were then washed twice with water, allowed to air-dry and placed at 4 C
overnight. One hundred l of IM9 cells (at 106/ml in RPMI-1640) were then added to each well.
Plates were then centrifuged at 3200 rpm for 5 mins to pellet the cells. The media was carefully aspirated and 200 l of MPBS added to each well. The plates were then left to block for 1 hour at room temperature.

[07041 To a separate 96-well plate, titrate test scFvs in MPBS, in triplicate, over a concentration range from 10 g/ml down to 0.001 g/ml were added. The final volume of test scFv in each well was 55 l. Competition with unlabelled BLyS was also included in every assay as a control. Unlabelled BLyS, in MPBS, was typically titrated in triplicate, over a concentration range from 1 g/ml down to 0.00 1 g/ml. 10 l of biotinylated-BLyS (at 162.5 ng/ml) in MPBS was added to each well to give a final concentration of 25 ng/ml. Plates were then incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes.
[07051 The 1M9 coated plates was washed twice in PBS, tapped dry and immediately 50 1 of the scFv/biotinylated-BLyS mix was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Plates were washed three times in PBST and three times in PBS, tapped dry and 50 l per well added of streptavidin-Delfia (Wallac) at 1:1000 dilution in the Manufacturer's assay buffer. The plates were then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and washed six times in Delfia wash solution (Wallac). After tapping the plates dry, l00 l per well of Delfia enhancement solution (Wallac) was added. The plates were gently tapped to encourage micelle formation, incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and fluorescence read on a Wallac 1420 workstation at 6520 nM.

[07061 Typical titration curves for two scFv antibodies, I007F 11 and 1050A07, are shown in Figure 6. Unlabelled BLyS competed for binding to its receptor with an IC50 value of 0.8 nM. The IC50 values for I007F 11 and I050A07 are 7.9 nM and 17.1 nM
respectively. The assay was performed in triplicate and standard error bars are shown.
The 9 scFvs that demonstrated the greatest inhibition as scFv are listed in Table 4. This data also confirms that these9 scFvs recognize the soluble form of BLyS.

Table 4: 9 ScFvs that demonstrated greatest potency in BLyS Receptor Binding Inhibition Assay ScFv Antibody Example 8: Antibodies recognizing a soluble form of BLyS
[0707] A library of phage was screened in an assay to identify those phage displaying scFvs that immunospecifically bind to the soluble but not the membrane-bound forms of BLyS.
[0708] A phage library was screened for the ability to bind to biotinylated BLyS.
The phage were exposed to biotinylated BLyS, allowed an interval of time to bind the biotinylated BLyS. Phage binding bio-BLyS were then isolated by capture on streptavidin coated magnetic beads.
[0709] The phage identified in the screen above (capture of Bio-BLyS from solution) were then screened by ELISA for their ability to bind immobilized BLyS. The scFv expressed by phage that bound immobilized BLyS were then cloned and sequenced.
Again, several sequences were identified multiple times, thus a panel (panel 2) consisting of on example of each phage expressing a unique scFv was then characterized further.
[0710] The derived amino acid sequences of these scFvs are shown in Table 1 above. The individual VH and VL segments of the scFvs were aligned to the known human germline sequences in V-BASE and the closest germline identified.

Example 9: Specificity For Soluble BLyS
[0711] The scFvs were isolated from a library of phage based on their ability to bind a soluble form of BLyS. Briefly, phage were preincubated with biotinylated BLyS in solution. Phage that bound to this biotinylated BLyS were then isolated using streptavidin coated magnetic beads.

[0712] The specificity of each of the unique scFvs for BLyS and for the membrane-bound form of BLyS, was determined by phage ELISA. BLyS was immobilised onto plastic as a purified soluble form of the protein or as a membrane-bound form present on plasma membrane preparations from the human macrophage-like cell line, U937. Maintenance of U937 cells and plasma membrane preparations were performed as detailed in Example 2.

Phage ELISA
[0713] To determine the specificity of each of the scFvs, a phage ELISA was performed for each antibody against human BLyS, U937 plasma membranes, TNFa, BSA
and an uncoated well. Antigen coating conditions were as described in Example 2, apart from human BLyS. BLyS was first biotinylated (as described in Example 3) and coated at 1 g/ml onto streptavidin coated plates (Reacti-Bind, Pierce) for 30 mins at room temperature. The plates were then washed, blocked and the phage ELISA
performed as detailed in Example 2.
[001] The results for 3 clones (I074B12,1075F12 and I07 5A02) that bind the soluble but not the membrane-bound form of BLyS are shown in Figure 7. As a control, a phage antibody that recognizes TNFa, is also shown in Figure 7. There is a small non-specific background signal on the U937 plasma membranes that is evident with both the anti-BLyS scFvs as well as the anti-TNFa control. All 3 anti-BLyS scFvs recognize BLyS
but not U937 plasma membranes, TNFa, BSA or an uncoated well (PBS only). This indicates that the scFvs do not bind the membrane-bound form of BLyS. Further, The fact that these scFvs were isolated on the basis of their ability to bind soluble biotinylated BLyS indicates that they bind the soluble form of BLyS. Further confirmation of these scFvs' specificity for BLyS is provided in Example 10.

Example 10: Inhibition in an in vitro receptor binding assay by phage scFvs [0715] All of the unique phage scFvs from panel 2 were assessed for their ability to inhibit BLyS binding to its cognate receptor on IM9 cells. The biotinylation of BLyS, maintenance of IM9 cells and receptor binding inhibition assay were performed as described in Example 3.
[0716] Results for two phage scFvs, I0025B09 and I026C04 are shown in Figure 8. Maximal binding of biotinylated BLyS to its receptor (bio-BLyS only), the background signal in the absence of biotinylated BLyS (no bio-BLyS), and results with an irrelevant (i.e. does not recognize BLyS) phage antibody are also shown. Both phage scFvs inhibited biotinylated BLyS binding to its receptor on IM9 cells. 33 of the unique scFvs from panel 2 were identified for further study. These 33 scFvs demonstrated the greatest inhibition as phage particles in this assay and are listed in Table 5.

Table 5: Identification of 33 phage scFvs to free BLyS that demonstrate the most significant inhibition of biotinylated-BLyS binding to its receptor Antibody Antibody Antibody Antibody 1002AOlR 1065D08 1078H08 Example 11: Specificity of anti-BLyS scFvs [07171 The specificity of the 33 scFvs (listed in Table 5) for immobilized human and murine BLyS was determined using phage ELISA.

Phage ELISA

[001] To determine the specificity of the 33 scFvs, a phage ELISA was performed as described in Example 4 against human and mouse BLyS, and a panel of related human antigens: TRAIL, LIGHT, TNFa, TNF(3, and an uncoated well (PBS
only).
[0719] Typical results for two scFvs,1067F05 and 1078D02 are shown in Figure 9.
A control antibody that specifically recognizes TNFa is also shown. Both anti-BLyS
scFvs specifically recognize immobilized human and mouse BLyS but not any other antigen tested.

[0720] All 33 scFvs are specific for human BLyS. 14/33 cross-react with mouse BLyS but not with any other unrelated or related antigen tested.

Example 12: scFv Off-Rate Determinations [0721] Off-rate determinations, preparation of a low density BLyS surface and kinetic measurements were as detailed in Example 6.
[0722] The binding curves for individual scFvs were analysed using the BlAevaluation software to determine antibody off-rates. Kinetic analysis for a typical scFv antibody, I002AO1, is shown in Figure 10. I002A01 has a Koff = 9 x 10 -4s-1.

Example 13: Inhibition in an in vitro receptor binding assay by scFv antibodies [0723] The 33 scFvs identified in Table 5 were prepared as purified scFvs and assessed for their ability to inhibit BLyS binding to its receptor on IM9 cells. The scFvs were purified and analysed in the receptor binding inhibition assay as described in Example 6.1.8.
[0724] Typical titration curves for two scFvs, I0068C06 and I074B 12, are shown in Figure 11. Unlabelled BLyS competed for binding to its receptor with an inhibitory constant 50 (IC50) value of 0.66 nM. The IC50 values for I0068C06 and 1074B12 are 61 nM and 13 nM , respectively. The assay was performed in triplicate and standard error bars are shown. The 7 scFvs that demonstrated the greatest inhibition as scFv are listed in Table 6.

Table 6: Identification of 7 scFvs to free BLyS that demonstrate the most significant inhibition of biotinylated-BLyS binding to its receptor as purified scFv's.

Antibody Example 14: ScFvs Recognizing Membrane-bound BLyS

[0725] A library of phage was screened in an assay to identify those phage displaying scFvs that immunospecifically bind to the membrane-bound but not the soluble form of BLyS.
[0726] As a starting point, a library of phage expressing scFv antibodies were panned on immobilized HIS-tagged BLyS. Phage isolated by panning were then screened for the ability to bind to HIS-tagged BLyS. HIS-tagged BLyS was obtained by expressing amino acids 71-285 of SEQ ID NO:3228 using the pQE9 vector (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA) in E. coli and purifying the expressed protein. This phage clones identified by this screen were then sequenced. After sequencing, A panel (panel 3) of phage each expressing a unique scFv that bound HIS-tagged BLyS was generated and further characterized.
[0727] The derived amino acid sequences of the unique scFvs from panel 3 are shown in Table 1 above. The individual VH and VL segments of the scFvs were aligned to the known human germline sequences in V-BASE and the closest germline identified.
Example 15: Recognition of Membrane-bound BLyS
[0728] The specificity of each of the unique scFvs for both the membrane-bound form of BLyS as well as for the soluble form of BLyS, was determined by phage ELISA.
[0729] BLyS was immobilised onto plastic either directly as a purified soluble form of the protein or biotinylated and coated on a streptavidin plate as in Example 9.
Binding to HIS-tagged BLyS was used as a primary screen for scFv's that would bind the membrane-bound form of BLyS (see below). The membrane-bound form of BLyS was presented as plasma membranes preparations from the human macrophage-like cell line, U937 or the murine cell line P388.
[0730] Mouse monoclonal antibodies have been raised against His-tagged BLyS
according to standard procedures. Characterization of these mouse monoclonal antibodies revealed that they specifically recognized both His-tagged BLyS and the membrane-bound form of BLyS on U937 cells, but not soluble BLyS. Therefore, specific recognition of His-tagged BLyS was used as supporting evidence for the recognition of the membrane-bound form of BLyS by phage and scFv antibodies.

Phage ELISA
[001] To determine the specificity of each of the scFvs, a phage ELISA was performed for each antibody against His-tagged human BLyS, U937 plasma membranes, TNFa, BSA and an uncoated well. Antigen coating conditions were as described in 2.
apart from human BLyS. BLyS was first biotinylated (as described in Example 3) and coated at 1 g/ml onto streptavidin coated plates (Reacti-Bind, Pierce) for 30 mins at room temperature. The plates were then washed, blocked and the phage ELISA
performed as detailed in Example 2.
[0732] The results for 3 clones, I079CO1, I081C10 and 1082A02, and a control phage antibody that recognizes TNFa, are shown in Figure 12. All 3 scFvs recognize U937 plasma membranes (U937) and His-tagged BLyS (HIS-BLyS) but not, biotinylated BLyS (bio-BLyS) or an uncoated well (PBS). This indicates that the scFvs recognize the membrane-bound form of BLyS.

Example 16: Specificity for Membrane-bound BLyS
[0733] The specificity of the scFvs for only the membrane-bound form of BLyS, and not for the soluble form, was confirmed using a competition ELISA. This assay assesses the ability of test phage scFvs to bind to the membrane-bound form of BLyS on U937 plasma membranes in the presence of different forms of competing BLyS.
Competing BLyS was either the His-tagged form of BLyS or soluble BLyS. ScFvs specific for the membrane-bound BLyS would be expected to be competed out by pre-incubation with His-tagged BLyS but not by pre-incubation with soluble BLyS.
[0734] Maintenance of U937 cells and plasma membrane preparations were performed as detailed in Example 2.

Competition ELISA
[0735] U937 plasma membranes (50 1 per well ) were coated at 10 g/ml in PBS
onto Falcon 96-well plates overnight at 4 C.

[0736] Individual E. coli colonies containing a phagemid representing one of the unique scFvs from the panel 3 were inoculated into 50 ml tubes (Falcon) containing 5 ml 2TYAG medium. Tubes were incubated at 37 C for 4 hours, shaking. M13KO7 helper phage was added to each tube to an MOI of 10 and the tubes were incubated for a further 1 hour at 37 C. The tubes were centrifuged in a benchtop centrifuge at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed and cell pellets were resuspended in 5 ml and incubated at 30 C overnight, shaking. The next day, tubes were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min and the phage-containing supernatant carefully transferred into a fresh tube.
[0737] For each test phage antibody, 3 aliquots of 20 1 18% marvel/6xPBS were transferred into separate wells of a 96-well plate. The first aliquot was supplemented with His-tagged BLyS to a final concentration of 60 g/ml. The second aliquot was supplemented with soluble BLyS to a final concentration of 60 g/ml. The third aliquot was not supplemented with any competing antigen. One hundred l of phage supernatant was then added to each aliquot and left to block at room temperature for 1 hour:
[0738] The antigen-coated plates were washed once with PBS before the addition of 200 l/well 3% marvel/PBS. These plates were left to block at 37 C for 1 hour and were then washed once with PBS. Duplicate samples of 50 l pre-blocked phage (above) were added to the antigen-coated plates and left at room temperature for 1 hour. Plates were washed 3x with PBS/0.1%Tween 20, then 3x with PBS. Fifty l/well mouse anti-M13 HRP (Pharmacia) at 1/5000 in 3% Marvel/PBS was added and left for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were washed 3 times with PBS/01%Tween 20, then 3 times with PBS.
Fifty l/well HRP-labelled anti-mouse Envision polymer (DAKO) at 1/50 in 3%
marvel/PBS was added and left for 1 hour at RT. Plates were washed 3 times with PBS/0.1% Tween 20, then 3 times with PBS. Next, 50 l/well of TMB (Sigma) was added and plates left to develop for 30 to 60 minutes. When sufficient color has developed, 25 l/well 0.5M H2SO4 was added to stop the reaction. The plates were read at 450111 non a microtiter plate reader (Bio-Rad 3550).
[001] The results for 3 clones, I079B04, I079F08 and 1080B01, and a control phage antibody that recognizes TNFa, are shown in Figure 13. All 3 scFvs recognize U937 plasma membranes (U937). This binding is competed out to background levels (i.e.
comparable to the signal observed with the anti-TNFa phage antibody) in the presence of His-tagged BLyS (HIS-BLyS) but not biotinylated BLyS (bio-BLyS). This confirms that the scFvs specifically recognize the membrane-bound form but not the soluble form of BLyS.

Example 17: High Throughput BlAcore Screen to identify high affinity scFvs [0740] This is a 96-well screen where the test samples (scFvs) are derived from 1 ml periplasmic extracts of individual antibody expressing clones. Potentially higher affinity scFvs are then identified principally as those giving a large number of total RU's bound to a HIS-BLyS surface in BlAcore. This method of ranking does assume approximately equal yields of scFv from each clone. Since this is not always the case, some scFvs may also be identified that simply express high levels of scFv.
These can be discriminated from those of higher affmity by further characterization of the scFvs (see Example 18).

Preparation of ScFv from lml E.coli Cultures [0741] Individual E.coli colonies containing a phagemid representing one of the unique scFvs from panel 3 were inoculated into 96-well plates containing 100 medium per well. Eight wells on each plate were reserved for positive and negative control samples. The plate was grown overnight at 30'C with shaking at 120 rpm.
[0742] Next day, lml of 2TYAG + 345 mM sucrose was added to each well of an autoclaved 96 deep well plate (Beckman). Twenty l of each overnight culture was resuspended and transferred to the appropriate well of the deep well plate.
The plate was grown for approximately 3.5 hours at 30~C with shaking at 250 rpm (or until the OD600 =
0.6). Fifty l of 1M IPTG was added to 5ml 2TY and 10 l of this was added to each well.
The plate was grown overnight at 30*C with shaking at 250rpm.
[0743] Plates were kept at 4 C for the remainder of the procedure. The overnight a plate (above) was centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes at 4 C to pellet the cells. The supernatant was decanted and each pellet resuspended in 100 l TES (0.2M Tris HCl pH8.0, 0.5mM EDTA, 0.5M sucrose) and transferred to a fresh 96 well plate.
This plate was incubated on ice for 30 minutes and then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3500 rpm at 4 *C to pellet the cell debris. During centrifugation, 15 l of freshly made protease inhibitors cocktail (Roche, 1 tablet dissolved in 1.5 ml water) was added to each well of a fresh 96 well plate. Supernatants from the centrifuged plate were then transferred to the plate containing the protease inhibitors. The plate was centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes at 4'C and the supernatant was transferred to a further 96-well plate.
This step was repeated at least once more or until there was. no sign of any cell debris following centrifugation. Finally, the plate was covered in foil to prevent evaporation of samples during the BlAcore run.

Generation of a high density HIS-BLyS surface [0744] All BlAcore analysis was performed on BlAcore 2000 machines, using the BlAcore 2000 control software and evaluated using the BlAevaluation 3.0 software. A
high density His-tagged BLyS surface (>1000 RU HIS-BLyS coupled) was prepared in flow cell 2 by amine coupling to a CM5 chip. A new CM5 chip was inserted into the BlAcore and a sensorgram started over flow cell 2 with HBS buffer at a flow rate of d/min. The NHS and EDC solution were mixed 1:1 before injecting 30 l over the surface. Fifty l HIS-BLyS (at 10 g/ml in Sodium acetate buffer, pH4) was injected and allowed to couple to the surface. Thirty l of ethanolamine-HC1 solution was then injected to block free NHS esters. Prior to using the chip, 10 l of 4M Guanidine hydrochloride in HBS was injected over the surface to strip the surface of non-covalently bound BLyS. A
blank surface (no HIS-BLyS) was also prepared over flow cell 1 so that non-specific binding effects can be subtracted from the HIS-BLyS binding curves.
[0745] Typically, a 5000 RU His-tagged BLyS surface was generated in this way and used for 96-well analysis of scFvs isolated from the periplasm of E.coli.

BlAcore Analysis [0746] The 96-well plate containing periplasinic scFvs was secured inside the BlAcore. Two ml of 4M Guanidine hydrochloride in HBS was placed in a rack inside the BlAcore for regeneration of the HIS-BLyS surface between samples. The sensorgram was run over flow cells 1 and 2 at a flow rate of 20 l/minute. The following method was run:

[001] When the run had finished, the sensorgram data for flow cell l was subtracted from the data for flow cell 2 for each sample using the BlAevaluation software.
The clones were compared with one another principally by overall RU change as the scFv dissociates from the surface. In addition a few scFvs were identified as having potentially slower off-rates. An example of the dissociation section of a typical sensorgram for 8 scFvs is shown in Figure 14. An anti-TNFa antibody that does not recognize BLyS was included as a control. Of the 8 scFvs exemplified, 1079F06 was identified for further study due to the relatively high numbers of RU's bound to the surface.
[0748] ScFvs were identified principally if they demonstrated a RU change of over 1200, a few were also identified as having potentially slower than typical off-rates. A total of 28 clones were chosen on these criteria and are listed in Table 7.

Table 7: Identification of 28 antibodies to membrane-bound BLyS that demonstrate the most significant RU changes by BlAcore Antibody Antibody Example 18: scFv Affinity Determinations [0749] The affinity (KD) of the 28 scFvs was determined using the BlAcore.
Low Density HIS-BLyS Surface for Kinetic Studies [0750] 500RU surfaces were used for kinetic studies of purified scFv binding to HIS-BLyS. The method to prepare these surfaces was identical to the method described in Example 17, only smaller volumes of HIS-BLyS were injected.

Measurement of scFv Binding Kinetics [0751] The chip containing the low density HIS-BLyS surface was inserted into the BlAcore. A dilution series for each of the 28 purified scFvs (prepared as in Example 6) were diluted in HBS (typically starting with 50 g/ml scFv and double diluting down to 1.5 g/ml). The dilution series was then injected sequentially over the blank control (flow cell 1) and low density HIS-BLyS surface (flow cell 2) using the following program:

[0752] Bound scFv were removed by injecting l0 1 of 4M Guanidine hydrochloride in HBS (location r2f3 in the above program) over the surface between samples. Binding curves for individual scFv were analysed using the BlAevaluation software to determine antibody on- and off-rates.
[0753] A typical example of the binding curves generated for the scFv antibody I082C03 is shown in Figure 15. The off-rate for this clone was calculated as 2x10-3S-1.
The affinity of I082C03 was calculated as 20 nM, assuming 100% activity of the scFv.
The 5 scFvs with the highest affinities as scFvs are given in Table 8.

Example 19: Recognition of mouse membrane-bound BLyS
[0754] The ability of the 5 scFvs listed in Table 8 to also recognize murine membrane-bound BLyS was determined using a competition ELISA. This assay assesses the ability of test phage scFvs to bind to the membrane-bound form of BLyS on the murine cell line, P388, plasma membranes in the presence of different forms of competing human BLyS. Competing BLyS was either presented as the His-tagged form of BLyS, or soluble BLyS. ScFvs that recognize mouse membrane-bound BLyS would give an ELISA
signal on the P388 plasma membranes that is competed out by pre-incubation with HIS-tagged BLyS but not by pre-incubation with soluble BLyS.

Maintenance of P388.D1 cells and preparation of plasma membranes [0755] P388.D1 cells are a mouse monocyte-macrophage like cell line. They were cultured in L-15 medium supplemented with 2mM L-glutamine, 10% CS, IOU
penicillin, IOOg/mi streptomycin (all reagents from Sigma). Cells were split 1:4 every 3-4 days to maintain a cell density of 2-8 x 105 per ml. A fresh aliquot of cells was thawed from liquid nitrogen every 6 weeks. Plasma membrane fractions were prepared as described in Example 2.

Competition ELISA
[0756] P388 plasma membranes (50 l per well) were coated at 10[tg/ml in PBS
onto Falcon 96-well plates overnight at 4 C. The method is otherwise essentially as described Example 16.
[0757] The results for 3 clones, I079E02, I082H08 and I099D03 are shown in Figure 16. All 3 scFvs recognize P388 plasma membranes. This binding is competed out in the presence of HIS-tagged BLyS (HIS-BLyS) but not in the presence of biotinylated BLyS (bio-BLyS). This confirms that these scFvs also recognize the membrane-bound form but not the soluble form of mouse BLyS.

Example 20: Conversion of scFvs to IgG1 format [0758] The VH domain and the VL domains of scFvs that we wished to convert into IgG molecules were cloned into vectors containing the nucleotide sequences of the appropriate heavy (human IgG1) or light chain (human kappa or human lambda) constant regions such that a complete heavy or light chain molecule could be expressed from these vectors when transfected into an appropriate host cell. Further, when cloned heavy and light chains are both expressed in one cell line (from either one or two vectors), they can assemble into a complete functional antibody molecule that is secreted into the cell culture medium. Methods for converting scFvs into conventional antibody molecules are well known within the art.

Generation ofNSO cell lines expressing anti-BLyS antibodies (IgG1) [0759] Plasmids containing the heavy and light chains were separately linearized using the Pvu I restriction enzyme. The linearized DNAs were purified by phenol-chloroform extraction followed by ethanol precipitation and then resuspended in H2O.
NSO cells (107) from a growing culture were electroporated (0.25kV and 975 F) in PBS
with 12.5 gg linearized heavy chain plasmid DNA and 37.5 g linearized light chain DNA. The cells were washed in 20 ml non-selective medium (10% FCS in DMEM
supplemented with 6mM glutamine, amino acids and penicillin/streptomycin) and then transferred in 12.5 ml medium into a T75cm2 flask and incubated overnight at 37 C, 5%
C02/air. The day after transfection the cells were resuspended in selective medium containing lmg/ml geneticin and dispensed into 5 x 96-well plates at 200 l/well. After 18 days at 37 C (5% CO2/air) the colony supernatants were screened by an ELISA
that detects assembled human IgG in order to identify colonies expressing IgG.
Approximately twenty positive colonies were expanded and adapted to growth in serum-free, selective medium. Duplicate T25cm2 flasks were set up. Cells from one flask were frozen down as a stock and cells in the second flask were grown to saturation.
The productivity of the saturated cultures was assessed by ELISA. The highest producing cell lines were then selected for large-scale antibody production.
[0760] The above procedure is exemplified for the I006D08 anti-BLyS antibody constructs. Following electroporation and selection of NSO cells, supernatants from ninety-three wells each containing a single colony were screened by ELISA to detect assembled IgGl, antibody. Twenty-seven of the supernatants were identified as containing IgG. The colonies from 24 of the positive wells were transferred to lml selective medium in a 24-well plate and allowed to grow for 2 days. The lml cultures of cells were then added to 4ml selective medium containing reduced serum (0.5%
FCS) in a T25cm2 flask. When the cultures reached confluency 1 ml cells were diluted in 4m1 selective, serum-free medium in a T25cm2 flask. At confluency this subculture regime was repeated again. Finally lml cells from the culture containing 0.1% FCS was diluted with 9 ml serum-free, selective medium and divided into 2 x T25cm2 to form the saturated and stock cultures. The stock cultures were frozen down and stored in liquid nitrogen once the cultures were confluent. The saturation culture was grown until the viability of the culture was < 10%. Twenty-three out of the 24 colonies originally expanded were successfully adapted to growth in serum-free medium. The productivity of these serum-free adapted cell lines ranged from 0.3 to 17 gg/ml by ELISA quantification of the saturated, 5m1 serum-free cultures. The I006D08-32 cell line produced 17 g/ml.

Large-scale IRG production [001] The highest-producing cell lines were revived from frozen stocks and then expanded to 400m1 in selective, serum-free medium in 2 liter roller bottles.
The cells were grown at 37 C and rolled at 4 rpm with the headspace being re-equilibrated with 5%
C02/air every 2-3 days. Finally the culture was expanded to a 4 liter volume by the addition of serum-free medium without selection (400 ml per 2 liter roller bottle). The cultures were then grown to saturation.
[001] This procedure is exemplified by the production of I006D08 antibody from the I006D08-32 cell line. The frozen stock of I006D08-32 was revived into a T25 cm2 containing 5 ml serum-free medium containing ling/ml geneticin and grown at 37 C in 5% CO2/air incubator. After two days growth the culture was diluted with 7.5 ml fresh medium and transferred to a T75cm2 flask. After a further three days in the incubator the cells were transferred to 130 ml selective medium and transferred to a 2 liter roller bottle.
After three days growth the cells were diluted with 500 ml selective medium and split into 2 x 2 liter roller bottles. After another 2 days 100 ml fresh selective medium was added to each roller. Finally the next day the culture was expanded to a total volume of 4 liters with non-selective medium and divided into 10 x 2 liter roller bottles. After three days the medium was supplemented with 6mM glutamine. The cells were grown for 17 days from the final subculture into a 4 liter volume. The cells grew up to 3 x106 cells/ml before viability declined to < 0.2 x 106 cells/ml. At this low viability the culture supernatants were harvested. ELISA analysis indicated that the culture supernatant contained 33 g/ml IgG. Hence, the 4 liter culture contained 132 mg IgG.

IgG Purification [0763] The purification of the IgG from the fermentation broth is performed using a combination of conventional techniques commonly used for antibody production.
Typically the culture harvest is clarified to remove cells and cellular debris prior to starting the purification scheme. This would normally be achieve&using either centrifugation or filtration of the harvest. Following clarification, the antibody would typically be captured and significantly purified using affinity chromatography on Protein A Sepharose. The antibody is bound to Protein A Sepharose at basic pH and, following washing of the matrix, is eluted by a reduction of the pH. Further purification of the antibody is then achieved by gel filtration. As well as removing components with different molecular weights from the antibody this step can also be used to buffer exchange into the desired final formulation buffer.

Purification of I006D08 IgGl [001] , The harvest was clarified by sequential filtration through 0.5 tm and 0.22 m filters. Clarified harvest was then applied to a column of recombinant Protein A
Sepharose equilibrated at pH 8.0 and washed with the equilibration buffer.

antibody was eluted from the Protein A Sepharose by application of a buffer at pH3.5. The collected antibody containing eluate was then neutralized to pH 7.4 by the addition of pH
8.0 buffer. The neutralized eluate was concentrated by ultrafiltration using a 30 KDa cut off membrane. Concentrated material was then purified by Sephacryl S300HR gel filtration using phosphate buffered saline as the mobile phase. The final monomeric IgGl fraction from the gel filtration column was then concentrated to the desired formulation concentration by ultrafiltration using a 30 KDa cut off membrane. The final product was filtered through a 0.22 m filter.

Example 21: Antibody neutralization of murine splenocyte proliferation as measured by 3HdT incorporation [0765] To determine if an antibody inhibited BLyS mediated B cell proliferation, a splenocyte proliferation assay was performed Briefly, murine splenocytes were isolated by flushing spleen with complete medium using a 25g needle and 10 ml of complete medium (RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS containing 100U/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin, 4mM glutamine, 5x10-5M (3-mercaptoethanol). The cells were passed through a 100 micron nylon filter to remove cell clumps. The cell suspension was then ficolled at 400 x g for 25 minutes at room temperature (one 15 ml conical tube/spleen; 3 ml ficol, 10 ml cell suspension/spleen; Ficol 1083 from Sigma). The recovered cells were washed 3 times in complete medium and counted. Recovered cells were then diluted to a concentration of 3x106/ml in complete medium containing a 3X concentration of SAC (3X
= 1:33,333 dilution of stock) (Staph. aureus Cowan strain; Calbiochem).
[0766] For each antibody, 50 microliters of antibody dilutions at 30 g/ml, 3.0 g/ml, and 0.3 g/ml concentrations were aliquotted into individual wells of a 96 well plate in triplicate. Suitable positive controls, such as, for example monoclonal antibody 15C10, were also used. Medium containing no antibody (and human isotype controls (purchased commercially) when necessary) were used as negative controls.
[0767] BLyS protein was diluted in complete medium to concentrations of 300ng/ml, 90ng/ml and 30ng/ml. 50 microliters of each of the BLyS dilutions were then added to the antibody dilution series in the plates. The plate containing the antibody and BLyS dilutions are then incubated for 30 minutes at 37 C, 5% CO2 , after which microliters of the splenocyte cell suspension containing SAC was added to all wells. The plates were then incubated for 72 hours (37 C, 5% C02)-107681 After 72 hours, each well was supplemented with 50 l of complete medium containing 0.5 Ci of 3H-thymidine (6.7 Ci/mM; Amersham) and cells were incubated for an additional 20-24 hours at (37 C, 5% C02). Following incubation cells were harvested using a Tomtec Cell Harvester and filters counted in a TopCount Scintillation counter (Packard).

Example 22: Human B cell proliferation assay for in vitro screening of BLyS
antagonist molecules [0769] The bioassay for assessing the effects of putative BLyS antagonists was performed in triplicate in 96 well format by mixing equal volumes of BLyS, responder cells, and putative antagonist each of which is prepared as a 3X stock reagent.

[0770] B-lymphocytes were purified from human tonsil by MACS (anti-CD3 depletion), washed, and resuspended in complete medium (CM) (RPMI 1640 with 10%
FBS containing 100U/ml penicillin, 100 tg/ml streptomycin, 4mM glutamine, 5xlOE-5 M
beta-mercaptoethanol) at a concentration of 3 x 10e6 cells/mL. Staphylococcus aureus, Cowan I (SAC, CalBiochem) was added to cells at 3X concentration (3X =
1:33,333 dilution of stock [0771] Meanwhile, eight serial dilutions (3-fold) of potential antagonist were prepared in CM such that the diluted antagonists are at 3X the final concentrations to be tested in the assay. Antibodies are routinely tested starting at a final concentration of 1 Oug/mL and going down to about 1.5 ng/mL.
[0772] Human rBLyS was prepared in CM to 3X concentration (3X = 300 ng/mL, 30 ng/mL, and 3 ng/mL) in CM. Potential inhibitors were routinely tested at several concentrations of BLyS to avoid false negatives due to unexpectedly low affinity or antagonist concentration.
[0773] Fifty microliters of diluted antagonist and 50uL of diluted BLyS were added to the putative antagonist dilution series.
[0774] Cells were then incubated for 72 hours (37 C, 5% CO2) in a fully humidified chamber. After 72 hrs., the cells were supplemented with 0.5 [,Ci/well 3H-thymidine (6.7 Ci/mmol) and incubated for an additional 24 hours. Plates were harvested using a Tomtec Cell Harvester and filters counted in a TopCount Scintillation counter (Packard).
