[0001] Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) is a transmembrane receptor that is expressed on microglia and is believed to function in regulating phagocytosis, cell survival, and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mutations in TREM2 have been identified in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Nasu-Hakola disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia.
Additionally, altered levels of soluble TREM2 (sTREM2) have been reported in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients having Alzheimer’s disease or frontotemporal dementia who have a mutation in TREM2. id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2"

[0080] TREM2 is a transmembrane receptor that is expressed on the cell surface of microglia, dendritic cells, macrophages, and osteoclasts. Without being bound to a particular 16 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] theory, it is believed that upon ligand binding, TREM2 forms a signaling complex with a transmembrane adapter protein, DNAX-activating protein 12 (DAP12), which in turn is tyrosine phosphorylated by the protein kinase SRC. It is believed that the activated TREM2/DAP12 signaling complex mediates intracellular signaling by recruiting and phosphorylating kinases such as Syk kinase. TREM2/DAP12 signaling modulates activities such as phagocytosis, cell growth and survival, pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and the migration of cells such as microglia and macrophages. TREM2 undergoes regulated intramembrane proteolysis, in which the membrane-associated full-length TREM2 is cleaved by the metalloprotease ADAM10 into a sTREM2 portion that is shed from the cell and a membrane-retained C-terminal fragment that is further degraded by a gamma-secretase.
Altered levels of sTREM2 have been reported in patients having Alzheimer’s disease or frontotemporal dementia and having a mutation in TREM2. Additionally, mutations in TREM2 are associated with altered functions such as impaired phagocytosis and reduced microglial function. id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81" id="p-81"
id="p-81"
[0081] As detailed in the Examples section below, antibodies have been generated that specifically bind to human TREM2 and that modulate one or more downstream functions of the TREM2/DAP12 signaling complex. In certain embodiments, the antibodies further comprise an Fc polypeptide containing mutations that permit binding of the Fc polypeptide to a transferrin receptor (TfR from, e.g., a human). In some aspects, the antibodies disclosed herein are able to bind, through the modified Fc polypeptide, to a transferrin receptor protein (e.g., expressed on the surface of a brain endothelial cell (BECs)) and can thereby cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) more effectively than antibodies lacking the TfR-binding Fc mutations. In certain embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein comprise mutations in an Fc polypeptide that reduce or eliminate effector function and mutations that increase in vivo half-life, e.g., by increasing binding of antibody Fc to Fc neonatal receptor (FcRn). id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82" id="p-82"
id="p-82"
[0082] In some embodiments, the anti-TREM2 antibodies enhance TREM2 activity, e.g., enhance phagocytosis or enhance the differentiation, function, migration, or survival of myeloid cells, microglia, or macrophages. Thus, in another aspect, methods of enhancing TREM2 activity, e.g., in a subject having a neurodegenerative disease, are provided. id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83" id="p-83"

[0083] In some embodiments, the anti-TREM2 antibodies reduce shedding of sTREM2.
Thus, in another aspect, methods of decreasing levels of sTREM2, e.g., in a subject having a neurodegenerative disease, are provided. 17 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0088] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a protein with an immunoglobulin fold that specifically binds to an antigen via its variable regions. The term encompasses intact polyclonal antibodies, intact monoclonal antibodies, single chain antibodies, multispecific antibodies such as bispecific antibodies, monospecific antibodies, monovalent antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and human antibodies. The term "antibody," as used herein, also includes antibody fragments that retain binding specificity via its variable regions, including but not limited to Fab, F(ab’) , Fv, scFv, and bivalent scFv. Antibodies 2 can contain light chains that are classified as either kappa or lambda. Antibodies can contain heavy chains that are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively. id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89" id="p-89"
id="p-89"
[0089] As used herein, the term "anti-TREM2 antigen binding portion" refers to an antigen binding segment or entity that specifically binds to a TREM2 protein (e.g., human TREM2).
The terms "antigen-binding portion" and "antigen-binding fragment" are used interchangeably herein and refer to one or more fragments of an antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., a TREM2 protein) via its variable region. 18 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] Examples of antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to, a Fab fragment (a monovalent fragment consisting of the V , V , CL and CH1 domains), F(ab’) fragment (a L H 2 bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region), single chain Fv (scFv), disulfide-linked Fv (dsFv), complementarity determining regions (CDRs), a V (light chain variable region), and a V (heavy chain variable region).

[0090] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to a domain in an antibody heavy chain or light chain that is derived from a germline Variable (V) gene, Diversity (D) gene, or Joining (J) gene (and not derived from a Constant (Cμ and Cδ) gene segment), and that gives an antibody its specificity for binding to an antigen. Typically, an antibody variable region comprises four conserved "framework" regions interspersed with three hypervariable "complementarity determining regions." id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91" id="p-91"
id="p-91"
[0091] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the three hypervariable regions in each chain that interrupt the four framework regions established by the light and heavy chain variable regions. The CDRs are primarily responsible for antibody binding to an epitope of an antigen. The CDRs of each chain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, numbered sequentially starting from the N-terminus, and are also typically identified by the chain in which the particular CDR is located. Thus, a V CDR3 or H CDR-H3 is located in the variable region of the heavy chain of the antibody in which it is found, whereas a V CDR1 or CDR-L1 is the CDR1 from the variable region of the light L chain of the antibody in which it is found. id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92" id="p-92"
id="p-92"
[0092] The "framework regions" or "FRs" of different light or heavy chains are relatively conserved within a species. The framework region of an antibody, that is the combined framework regions of the constituent light and heavy chains, serves to position and align the CDRs in three-dimensional space. Framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases or published references that include germline antibody gene sequences. For example, germline DNA sequences for human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBASE2" germline variable gene sequence database for human and mouse sequences. id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93" id="p-93"
id="p-93"
[0093] The amino acid sequences of the CDRs and framework regions can be determined using various well-known definitions in the art, e.g., Kabat, Chothia, international ImMunoGeneTics database (IMGT), AbM, and observed antigen contacts ("Contact"). In some embodiments, CDRs are determined according to the Contact definition. See, 19 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol., 262:732-745 (1996). In some embodiments, CDRs are determined by a combination of Kabat, Chothia, and/or Contact CDR definitions. id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94" id="p-94"
id="p-94"
[0094] The term "epitope" refers to the area or region of an antigen to which the CDRs of an antibody specifically binds and can include a few amino acids or portions of a few amino acids, e.g., 5 or 6, or more, e.g., 20 or more amino acids, or portions of those amino acids.
For example, where the target is a protein, the epitope can be comprised of consecutive amino acids (e.g., a linear epitope), or amino acids from different parts of the protein that are brought into proximity by protein folding (e.g., a discontinuous or conformational epitope).
In some embodiments, the epitope is phosphorylated at one amino acid (e.g., at a serine or threonine residue). id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95" id="p-95"
id="p-95"
[0095] As used herein, the phrase "recognizes an epitope," as used with reference to an anti-TREM2 antibody, means that the antibody CDRs interact with or specifically bind to the antigen (i.e., the TREM2 protein) at that epitope or a portion of the antigen containing that epitope. id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96" id="p-96"

[0098] A "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody molecule in which the constant region, or a portion thereof, is altered, replaced or exchanged so that the antigen-binding site (i.e., variable region, CDR, or portion thereof) is linked to a constant region of a different or altered class, effector function and/or species, or in which the variable region, or a portion thereof, is altered, replaced or exchanged with a variable region having a different or altered antigen specificity (e.g., CDR and framework regions from different species). In some embodiments, a chimeric antibody is a monoclonal antibody comprising a variable region from one source or species (e.g., mouse) and a constant region derived from a second source or species (e.g., human). Methods for producing chimeric antibodies are described in the art. id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99" id="p-99"

[0099] A "humanized antibody" is a chimeric immunoglobulin derived from a non-human source (e.g., murine) that contains minimal sequences derived from the non-human DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] immunoglobulin outside the CDRs. In general, a humanized antibody will comprise at least one (e.g., two) antigen-binding variable domain(s), in which the CDR regions substantially correspond to those of the non-human immunoglobulin and the framework regions substantially correspond to those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin sequence. Methods of antibody humanization are known in the art. id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100" id="p-100"
id="p-100"
[0100] A "human antibody" or a "fully human antibody" is an antibody having human heavy chain and light chain sequences, typically derived from human germline genes. In some embodiments, the antibody is produced by a human cell, by a non-human animal that utilizes human antibody repertoires (e.g., transgenic mice that are genetically engineered to express human antibody sequences), or by phage display platforms. id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101" id="p-101"

[0101] The term "specifically binds" refers to a molecule (e.g., an antibody or an antigen- binding portion thereof) that binds to an epitope or target with greater affinity, greater avidity, and/or greater duration to that epitope or target in a sample than it binds to another epitope or non-target compound (e.g., a structurally different antigen). In some embodiments, an antibody (or an antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically binds to an epitope or target is an antibody (or an antigen-binding portion thereof) that binds to the epitope or target with at least 5-fold greater affinity than other epitopes or non-target compounds, e.g., at least 5- fold, 10-fold, 100-fold, 1,000-fold, 10,000-fold, or greater affinity. The term "specific binding," "specifically binds to," or "is specific for" a particular epitope or target, as used herein, can be exhibited, for example, by a molecule having an equilibrium dissociation -4 -5 constant K for the epitope or target to which it binds of, e.g., 10 M or smaller, e.g., 10 M, D -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 -11 -12 M, 10 M, 10 M, 10 M, 10 M, 10 M, or 10 M. It will be recognized by one of skill that an antibody that specifically binds to a target (e.g., a TREM2 protein) from one species may also specifically bind to orthologs of that target (e.g., the TREM2 protein). id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102" id="p-102"
id="p-102"
[0102] The term "binding affinity" is used herein to refer to the strength of a non-covalent interaction between two molecules, e.g., between an antibody (or an antigen-binding portion thereof) and an antigen. Thus, for example, the term may refer to 1:1 interactions between an antibody (or an antigen-binding portion thereof) and an antigen, unless otherwise indicated or clear from context. Binding affinity may be quantified by measuring an equilibrium -1 dissociation constant (K ), which refers to the dissociation rate constant (k , time ) divided D d 21 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0103] The term "cross-reacts," as used herein, refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to an antigen other than the antigen against which the antibody was raised. In some embodiments, cross-reactivity refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to an antigen from another species than the antigen against which the antibody was raised. As a non-limiting example, an anti-TREM2 antibody as described herein that is raised against a human TREM2 peptide can exhibit cross-reactivity with a TREM2 peptide or protein from a different species (e.g., monkey or mouse). id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104" id="p-104"

[0104] A "transferrin receptor" or "TfR" as used herein refers to transferrin receptor protein 1. The human transferrin receptor 1 polypeptide sequence is set forth in SEQ ID NO:62. Transferrin receptor protein 1 sequences from other species are also known (e.g., chimpanzee, accession number XP_003310238.1; rhesus monkey, NP_001244232.1; dog, NP_001003111.1; cattle, NP_001193506.1; mouse, NP_035768.1; rat, NP_073203.1; and chicken, NP_990587.1). The term "transferrin receptor" also encompasses allelic variants of exemplary reference sequences, e.g., human sequences, that are encoded by a gene at a transferrin receptor protein 1 chromosomal locus. Full length transferrin receptor protein includes a short N-terminal intracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a large extracellular domain. The extracellular domain is characterized by three domains: a protease- like domain, a helical domain, and an apical domain. The apical domain sequence of human transferrin receptor 1 is set forth in SEQ ID NO:55. id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105" id="p-105"

[0136] In some embodiments, an anti-TREM2 antibody comprises one or more sequences that are encompassed by a consensus sequence disclosed herein. As a non-limiting example, consensus sequences can be identified by aligning heavy chain or light chain sequences (e.g., CDRs) for antibodies that are from the same (or similar) germlines. In some embodiments, consensus sequences may be generated from antibodies that contain sequences that are of the same (or similar) length and/or have at least one highly similar CDR (e.g., a highly similar CDR3). In some embodiments, such sequences in these antibodies may be aligned and compared to identify conserved amino acids or motifs (i.e., where alteration in sequences may alter protein function) and/or regions where variation occurs the sequences (i.e., where variation of sequence is not likely to significantly affect protein function). Alternatively, consensus sequences can be identified by aligning heavy chain or light chain sequences (e.g., CDRs) for antibodies that bind to the same or similar (e.g., overlapping) epitopes to determine conserved amino acids or motifs (i.e., where alteration in sequences may alter protein function) and regions where variation occurs in alignment of sequences (i.e., where variation of sequence is not likely to significantly affect protein function). In some embodiments, one or more consensus sequences can be identified for antibodies that recognize the same or similar epitope as an anti-TREM2 antibody as disclosed herein.
Exemplary consensus sequences include SEQ ID NOS:28-32. In the consensus sequences of SEQ ID NOS:28-32, the capitalized letter represents an amino acid residue that is absolutely conserved among the aligned sequences (e.g., aligned CDR sequences), while an "X" or a Greek letter (e.g., "α," "β," "γ," "δ," "ε," or "φ") represents an amino acid residue that is not absolutely conserved among the aligned sequences. It will be appreciated that, when selecting an amino acid to insert at a position marked by an "X" or by a Greek letter, in some embodiments the amino acid is selected from those amino acids found at the corresponding position in the aligned sequences.

Briefly, binding to a TfR protein (e.g., to the apical domain thereof) that is expressed on, for example, a brain endothelial cell, can, in some embodiments, permit a modified Fc polypeptide of this disclosure or an antibody comprising the same to cross the blood-brain barrier via receptor-mediated transcytosis. In certain embodiments, receptor-mediated transcytosis can enhance or improve the ability of the protein comprising the Fc polypeptide to be present in the brain (i.e., on the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier), which can allow for improved binding to TREM2 in the CNS, and other functions, e.g., clearance, neutralization, or immunodepletion of the target, or the like. id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198" id="p-198"

[0208] In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptides present in an anti-TREM2 antibody as disclosed herein include knob and hole mutations to promote heterodimer formation and hinder homodimer formation. Generally, the modifications introduce a protuberance ("knob") at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding cavity ("hole") in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that the protuberance can be positioned in the cavity so as to promote heterodimer formation and thus hinder homodimer formation.
Protuberances are constructed by replacing small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first polypeptide with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory cavities of identical or similar size to the protuberances are created in the interface of the second polypeptide by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g., alanine or threonine). In some embodiments, such additional mutations are at a position in the Fc polypeptide that does not have a negative (e.g., inhibitory) effect on binding of a Fc polypeptide to a BBB receptor, e.g., TfR. id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209" id="p-209"

[0209] In one illustrative embodiment of a knob and hole approach for dimerization, position 366 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) of one of the Fc polypeptides present in the proteins described herein comprises a tryptophan in place of a native threonine. The other Fc polypeptide in the dimer has a valine at position 407 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) in place of the native tyrosine. The other Fc polypeptide may further comprise a substitution in which the native threonine at position 366 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) is substituted with a serine and a native leucine at position 368 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) is substituted with an alanine. Thus, one of the Fc polypeptides of an anti-TREM2 protein of the disclosure has the T366W knob mutation and the other Fc polypeptide has the Y407V mutation, which is typically accompanied by the T366S and L368A hole mutations. 51 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

Thus, one or both Fc polypeptides may have M252Y, S254T, and T256E substitutions.
Alternatively, one or both Fc polypeptides may have M428L and/or N434S substitutions, according to EU numbering. Alternatively, one or both Fc polypeptides may have an N434S or N434A substitution.

[0212] In some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides in an anti-TREM2 protein disclosed herein may comprise modifications that reduce effector function, i.e., having a reduced ability to induce certain biological functions upon binding to an Fc receptor expressed on an effector cell that mediates the effector function. Examples of antibody effector functions include, but are not limited to, C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), down-regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor), and B-cell activation. Effector functions may vary with the antibody class. For example, native human IgG1 and IgG3 antibodies can elicit ADCC and CDC activities upon binding to an appropriate Fc receptor present on an immune system cell; and native human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 can elicit ADCP functions upon binding to the appropriate Fc receptor present on an immune cell. id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213" id="p-213"

[0221] In some embodiments, antibodies are prepared by immunizing an animal or animals (e.g., mice, rabbits, or rats) with an antigen or a mixture of antigens for the induction of an antibody response. In some embodiments, the antigen or mixture of antigens is administered 54 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] in conjugation with an adjuvant (e.g., Freund’s adjuvant). After an initial immunization, one or more subsequent booster injections of the antigen or antigens may be administered to improve antibody production. Following immunization, antigen-specific B cells are harvested, e.g., from the spleen and/or lymphoid tissue. For generating monoclonal antibodies, the B cells are fused with myeloma cells, which are subsequently screened for antigen specificity. Methods of preparing antibodies are also described in the Examples section below. id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222" id="p-222"
id="p-222"
[0222] The genes encoding the heavy and light chains of an antibody of interest can be cloned from a cell, e.g., the genes encoding a monoclonal antibody can be cloned from a hybridoma and used to produce a recombinant monoclonal antibody. Gene libraries encoding heavy and light chains of monoclonal antibodies can also be made from hybridoma or plasma cells. Alternatively, phage or yeast display technology can be used to identify antibodies and Fab fragments that specifically bind to selected antigens. Antibodies can also be made bispecific, i.e., able to recognize two different antigens. Antibodies can also be heteroconjugates, e.g., two covalently joined antibodies, or immunotoxins. id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223" id="p-223"
id="p-223"
[0223] Antibodies can be produced using any number of expression systems, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems. In some embodiments, the expression system is a mammalian cell expression, such as a hybridoma, or a CHO cell expression system.
Many such systems are widely available from commercial suppliers. In embodiments in which an antibody comprises both a V and V region, the V and V regions may be H L H L expressed using a single vector, e.g., in a di-cistronic expression unit, or under the control of different promoters. In other embodiments, the VH and VL region may be expressed using separate vectors. A V or V region as described herein may optionally comprise a H L methionine at the N-terminus. id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224" id="p-224"

[0224] In some embodiments, the antibody is a chimeric antibody. Methods for making chimeric antibodies are known in the art. For example, chimeric antibodies can be made in which the antigen binding region (heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region) from one species, such as a mouse, is fused to the effector region (constant domain) of another species, such as a human. As another example, "class switched" chimeric antibodies can be made in which the effector region of an antibody is substituted with an effector region of a different immunoglobulin class or subclass. 55 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

id="p-225"
[0225] In some embodiments, the antibody is a humanized antibody. Generally, a non- human antibody is humanized in order to reduce its immunogenicity. Humanized antibodies typically comprise one or more variable regions (e.g., CDRs) or portions thereof that are non- human (e.g., derived from a mouse variable region sequence), and possibly some framework regions or portions thereof that are non-human, and further comprise one or more constant regions that are derived from human antibody sequences. Methods for humanizing non- human antibodies are known in the art. Transgenic mice, or other organisms such as other mammals, can be used to express humanized or human antibodies. Other methods of humanizing antibodies include, for example, variable domain resurfacing, CDR grafting, grafting specificity-determining residues (SDR), guided selection, and framework shuffling. id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226" id="p-226"
id="p-226"
[0226] As an alternative to humanization, fully human antibodies can be generated. As a non-limiting example, transgenic animals (e.g., mice) can be produced that are capable, upon immunization, of producing a full repertoire of human antibodies in the absence of endogenous immunoglobulin production. For example, it has been described that the homozygous deletion of the antibody heavy-chain joining region (JH) gene in chimeric and germ-line mutant mice results in complete inhibition of endogenous antibody production.
Transfer of the human germ-line immunoglobulin gene array in such germ-line mutant mice will result in the production of human antibodies upon antigen challenge. As another example, human antibodies can be produced by hybridoma-based methods, such as by using primary human B cells for generating cell lines producing human monoclonal antibodies. id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227" id="p-227"
id="p-227"
[0227] Human antibodies can also be produced using phage display or yeast display technology. In phage display, repertoires of variable heavy chain and variable light chain genes are amplified and expressed in phage display vectors. In some embodiments, the antibody library is a natural repertoire amplified from a human source. In some embodiments, the antibody library is a synthetic library made by cloning heavy chain and light chain sequences and recombining to generate a large pool of antibodies with different antigenic specificity. Phage typically display antibody fragments (e.g., Fab fragments or scFv fragments), which are then screened for binding to an antigen of interest. id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228" id="p-228"
id="p-228"
[0228] In some embodiments, antibody fragments (such as a Fab, a Fab’, a F(ab’) , a scFv, 2 a V , or a V ) are generated. Various techniques have been developed for the production of H HH antibody fragments. Traditionally, these fragments were derived via proteolytic digestion of intact antibodies. However, these fragments can now be produced directly using recombinant 56 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] host cells. For example, antibody fragments can be isolated from antibody phage libraries.
Alternatively, Fab’-SH fragments can be directly recovered from E. coli cells and chemically coupled to form F(ab’) fragments. According to another approach, F(ab’) fragments can be 2 2 isolated directly from recombinant host cell culture. Other techniques for the production of antibody fragments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229" id="p-229"

Antibody-secreting cells were loaded into microfluidic devices and isolated in nanoliter volume reaction chambers to enable the detection of secreted antibodies using fluorescent and brightfield image-based microscopy assays (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 9,188,593). Binding assays involving detection of antibodies binding to antigen-coated micro-beads, detection of soluble fluorescently-labeled antigen binding to antibodies immobilized on beads, and detection of antibody binding to cell surface-expressed antigens were carried out. Cell surface-expressed antigens included both recombinant form and the native forms of antigens presented on the surface of cells. id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267" id="p-267"

Single cell lysates were then subjected to RT-PCR to amplify the heavy and light chain variable region sequences. The resulting amplicons were then sequenced to determine the cDNA sequence of paired heavy and light chain variable regions from the selected single cells. The resulting sequences were manually inspected and analyzed to determine sequence diversity and somatic hypermutation. Sequences were selected for expression based on screening data and sequence diversity.

[0269] Sequence optimization was conducted by searching within CDR sequences for residues that are susceptible to chemical modification (e.g., asparagine deamidation motifs (NG), aspartic acid isomerization motifs (DS), and potential oxidation residues (tryptophan (W) and methionine (M)) and making amino acid substitutions with conservative and germline residues to remove such sequence liabilities. Humanized and sequence-optimized variants of anti-TREM2 antibodies were then analyzed for binding kinetics using Biacore and dose-titrated cell binding to HEK293-H6 cells (see, Example 5 for representative protocols).

[0270] The Fd (V +CH1) region of a humanized, affinity matured anti-TREM2 antibody H (SEQ ID NOS:22 and 24) was cloned into expression vectors comprising a sequence encoding an Fc polypeptide engineered to bind to the human transferrin receptor (TfR) (CH3C.35.23.1.1, CH3C.35.23.3, CH3C.35.23.3 cisLALA, or CH3C.35.24) or a sequence encoding an Fc polypeptide that binds to the cynomolgus monkey transferrin receptor (CH3C.35.21). The Fc polypeptide-encoding sequence also contained a "knob" (T366W) mutation to prevent homodimerization and promote heterodimerization with an Fc polypeptide comprising "hole" (T366S/L368A/Y407V) mutations. The Fd region was also cloned into corresponding "hole" vectors comprising a sequence encoding an Fc polypeptide with hole mutations, but lacking the TfR binding mutations. The coding sequences (both Fd- knob-Fc and Fd-hole-Fc constructs) also contained "LALA" (L234A; L235A) mutations in the hinge region to reduce effector function (Wines et al., J. Immunol. 164:5313-5318 (2000) and "LS" (M428L; N434S) mutations in the Fc CH3 region to increase binding to FcRn (see, e.g., Zalevsky et al., Nat. Biotech. 28(2):157-159 (2010)).

Anti-TREM2 antibodies were captured using Human Fab Capture Kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Catalog No. 28958325) on a Biacore Series S CM5 sensor chip (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Catalog No. 29149604). Serial 3-fold dilutions of recombinant human or cynomolgus TREM2 were injected at a flow rate of 30 µL/min. Antibody binding was monitored for 300 seconds, followed by monitoring of antibody dissociation for 600+ seconds in HBS-EP+ running buffer (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Catalog No. BR100669).
The binding response was corrected by subtracting the RU value from a blank flow cell. A 1:1 Languir model of simultaneous fitting of k and k was used for kinetics analysis. K on off D binding values were calculated from k and k . on off 68 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details.

For single point experiments, the concentration of anti-TREM2-antibody used was 100nM. For dose-response curves, media containing 100nM anti-TREM2 antibody was serially diluted 3-fold for a total of 10 points. RSV was used as a control. The cells were incubated for another 48 hours at 37ºC before imaging cells using Bodipy stain, or extracting the cells for lipidomics, as described below. id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287" id="p-287"

[0289] Lipid levels were analyzed by liquid chromatography (Shimadzu Nexera X2 system, Shimadzu Scientific Instrument, Columbia, MD, USA) coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry (QTRAP 6500+, Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA). For each analysis, 5 µL of sample was injected on a BEH C18 1.7 µm, 2.1×100 mm column (Waters Corporation, Milford, Massachusetts, USA) using a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min at 55°C. For positive ionization mode, mobile phase A consisted of 60:40 acetonitrile/water (v/v) with 10 mM ammonium formate + 0.1% formic acid; mobile phase B consisted of 90:10 isopropyl alcohol/acetonitrile (v/v) with 10 mM ammonium formate + 0.1% formic acid. For negative ionization mode, mobile phase A consisted of 60:40 acetonitrile/water (v/v) with 10 mM ammonium acetate; mobile phase B consisted of 90:10 isopropyl alcohol/acetonitrile (v/v) with 10 mM ammonium acetate. The gradient was programmed as follows: 0.0–8.0 min from 45% B to 99% B, 8.0–9.0 min at 99% B, 9.0–9.1 min to 45% B, and 9.1–10.0 min at 45% B. Electrospray ionization was performed in either positive or negative ion mode applying the following settings: curtain gas at 30; collision gas set at medium; ion spray voltage at 5500 (positive mode) or 4500 (negative mode); temperature at 250°C (positive mode) or 600°C (negative mode); ion source Gas 1 at 50; ion source Gas 2 at 60. Data acquisition was performed using Analyst 1.6.3 (Sciex) in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM), with the following parameters: dwell time (msec) and collision energy (CE); declustering potential (DP) at 80; entrance potential (EP) at 10 (positive mode) or -10 (negative mode), and collision cell exit potential (CXP) at 12.5 (positive mode) or -12.5 (negative mode). Lipids were quantified using a mixture of non-endogenous internal standards. Lipids were identified based on their retention times and MRM properties of commercially available reference standards (Avanti Polar Lipids, Birmingham, AL, USA).

[0294] The antibodies were also assessed for TREM2-dependent pSyk signaling in HEK- H6 cells, capability for promoting survival of human macrophage cells, and ability to modulate lipid accumulation in iPSC-derived human microglial cells (hereinafter referenced as "iPSC microglia" or "iMG"). FIG. 3 illustrates the results for an ATV:TREM2 variant (ATV:TREM2 #3) and a corresponding anti-TREM2 antibody. The ATV:TREM2 was able to activate pSyk signaling in TREM2-expressing HEK293-H6 cells to a significantly greater extent than the corresponding TREM2 antibody, indicating that the addition of ATV to the molecule can increase its potency (FIG. 3). In addition, the ATV:TREM2 induced macrophage survival with an EC of 4.1 + 0.3 nM. Finally, the anti-TREM2 antibodies 50 demonstrated capability in reducing lipid accumulation in myelin-treated iMG (FIGS. 4A and 4B) with an IC for inhibition of lipid storage of 0.20 nM (97.7 + 0.3 % max. inhibition). 50 id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295" id="p-295"

[0295] Additional studies were carried out to investigate the ability of ATV:TREM2 to reduce lipid accumulation. FIGS. 5A-5F and FIGS. 6A-6C show that a representative ATV:TREM2 variant (ATV:TREM2 #3) reduces lipid accumulation while enhancing fatty acid oxidation intermediates, suggesting a potential role of ATV:TREM2 in enhancing mitochondrial function. Cells (iMG) treated with oleic acid lipid challenge (33 M) followed by incubation with ATV:TREM2 were able to reduce lipid accumulation, as illustrated by Bodipy staining (FIGS. 5A and 5B). LCMS analysis of iMG treated with myelin for 24 hours, followed by incubation with ATV:TREM2 for 48 hours, indicated that ATV:TREM2 75 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] reduces triglyceride (TG) species while concomitantly increasing beta-oxidation intermediates (acyl carnitines) and TCA cycle intermediates (FIGS. 5C-5F). FIG. 5C provides a heat map showing all TG, acyl carnitine, and TCA cycle intermediate species that illustrated a fold change of > 1.5 (p < 0.05), while FIGS. 5D-5F illustrate the changes of representative species in vehicle and myelin-challenged iMG that were incubated with ATV:TREM2 or isotype control following challenge. FIGS. 6A-6C illustrate the changes of specific TG, acyl carnitine, and TCA cycle intermediate species in iMG incubated with ATV:TREM2 or isotype control following myelin challenge. As depicted in FIGS. 6A-6C, ATV:TREM2 reduces all species of TG and ceramides while increasing certain species of short chain acyl carnitines, indicating that ATV:TREM2 may enhance mitochondrial function. id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296" id="p-296"

[0296] Microglial cell proliferation is associated with mTOR signal activation and engagement. The role of ATV:TREM2 in downstream mTOR pathway signaling was thus explored. The phosphorylation status of mTOR signal pathway targets were analyzed by Western blot in wild-type iPSC microglia incubated with a representative ATV:TREM2 variant (ATV:TREM2 #3) in the presence and absence of an mTOR inhibitor. FIG. 7A illustrates representative Western blot images of mTOR signal pathway targets.
Quantification of Western blot data is provided in FIGS. 7B-7E (phosphorylation levels normalized to beta-actin loading control). Phosphorylation levels for each ATV:TREM2- treated sample were compared to isotype antibody control-treated samples for each independent experiment (n=6). The results show that ATV:TREM2 activates mTOR pathway 2488 signaling, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation levels of mTOR at serine , AKT at 473 235/236 9 serine , ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) at serine , and GSK3b at serine in ATV:TREM2-treated samples relative to isotype controls (FIGS. 7B-7E; statistical summary:"ns" (p>0.05); "*" (p<0.01); "**" (p<0.001)). RPS6 is a signal target that is downstream of mTORC1 complex, and GSK3b is a signal target that is downstream of mTORC2 complex. For all data generated in FIGS. 5A to 7E, the isotype control ("ISO") for ATV:TREM2 #3 contains the sequences provided in Table 5.

[0298] To evaluate the effect of ATV:TREM2 on PGRN levels, iMG were plated at a density of 30,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate, and incubated with ATV:TREM2 #3 (100 nM) for 72 hours, after which the cell supernatant and cell lysate were collected and analyzed for progranulin (PGRN) levels using a colorimetric sandwich ELISA. id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299" id="p-299"

[0299] For measurement of PGRN levels, Thermo Scientific 384-well Maxisorp plates were coated with 4 µg/mL capture antibody (R&D anti-PGRN antibody from DuoSet ELISA kit, Catalog No. DY2420) diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and incubated overnight at 4˚C. The sample wells were blocked for 90 minutes with 3% BSA in PBS. Cell samples were diluted 1:10 in 3% BSA in PBS and added to each sample well on the plate, followed by incubation for 90 minutes at room temperature. Detection antibody (R&D anti- PGRN antibody from DuoSet ELISA kit, Catalog No. DY2420) diluted to 125 ng/mL was subsequently added to each sample well, and the plate was incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature. Lastly, HRP-conjugated Streptavidin (R&D SA-HRP from DuoSet ELISA kit, Catalog No. DY2420) was diluted 1:200 and added to each sample well. The plate was incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. After washing the sample wells with PBS, development reagent (TMB substrate) was added and allowed to react for 5 minutes before the reaction was stopped with 4 N H SO . Absorbance was measured using a BioTek 2 4 Synergy Neo2 plate reader, and PGRN levels were determined by interpolation from the standard curve fit with a four-parameter logistic curve. As illustrated in FIG. 8, incubation with ATV:TREM2 increased PGRN levels in both the supernatant and cell lysate relative to isotype control. id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300" id="p-300"

[0300] To assess effect on BMP levels, iMG were challenged with myelin or vehicle for 24 hours, followed by incubation with ATV:TREM2 #3 (100 nM) for 48 hours. Cellular lipids were extracted via addition of methanol containing an internal standard mixture and BMP abundance was measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on a Q- trap 6500 (SCIEX) similar to that described in International PCT Publication No. WO 2020/112889. BMP species were quantified using BMP(14:0_14:0) as the internal standard and identified based on their retention times and MRM properties. Quantification was performed using MultiQuant 3.02 (Sciex) after correction for isotopic overlap. BMP species were normalized to median lipid content of all species measured.

[4:0:v8.0] measured using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). A representative BMP result is illustrated in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, iMG challenged with myelin and subsequently treated with ATV:TREM2 reduces levels of BMP species, suggesting potential rescue of lysosomal challenge induced by myelin. id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301" id="p-301"

[0301] As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, incubation of iMG with ATV:TREM2 increases PGRN levels and corrects myelin-induced BMP levels, indicating a role for ATV:TREM2 in modulating lysosomal effects. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the isotype control (ISO) for ATV:TREM2 #3 contains the sequences provided in Table 5.

[0302] To assess impact on mitochondrial respiration, oxygen consumption was measured in iPSC-derived microglial cells ("iMG") treated with an ATV:TREM2 variant or isotype control using a Seahorse XFe96 analyzer (Agilent) and using materials and protocol from the Seahorse XF Palmitate Oxidation Stress Kit (Agilent 103693). Cells were cultured on XF96 microplates (Agilent, Cat. No. 102416) with ATV:TREM2 #3 (100 nM) or isotype control for 72 hours prior to the Seahorse experiment. Cells were subjected to substrate-limiting media composed of Seahorse XF RPMI (Agilent 103576) supplemented with 0.5 mM glucose (Agilent 103577), 1 mM glutamine (Agilent 103579), 0.5 mM L-carnitine (part of the Seahorse XF Palmitate Oxidation Stress Kit), and 1% Hyclone FBS 16 hours prior to Seahorse experiment. Cells were dosed with either palmitate-BSA conjugate (166 M) or BSA control immediately before the experiment. Sequential injection of (1) etomoxir (4 M) (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) inhibitor) or vehicle, (2) oligomycin (1.5 M) (ATP synthase complex V inhibitor), (3) Carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP, a mitochondrial decoupling agent, 1 M), and (4) rotenone/antimycin (0.5 mM each, complex I and complex III inhibitors, respectively) were used to evaluate the mitochondrial respiration capacity of the cells. Oxygen consumption rate was measured during the course of the experiment by Seahorse analyzer (Agilent). A summary of experimental conditions for evaluating mitochondrial respiration is provided in Table 4. 78 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0303] A representative kinetic graph of oxygen consumption is illustrated in FIG. 10A, and a bar graph illustrating the maximal respiratory capacity of the cells is provided in FIG. 10B. As shown in the figures, ATV:TREM2 increases maximal respiration to an extent similar to that of fatty acid substrate palmitic acid (PAL). This effect is diminished in the presence of CPT1 inhibitor. The results indicate that ATV:TREM2 enhances maximal mitochondrial respiration and that this effect appears to be conferred by enhanced fatty acid oxidation capacity.

[0304] The properties of ATV:TREM2 #1 and ATV:TREM2 #3 were compared to those of reference antibodies that bind TREM2, which are described in WO 2019/028292. The heavy chain and light chain sequences of reference antibody #1 ("Ref. Ab. #1") are represented by SEQ ID NOs:74 and 75, respectively. The heavy chain and light chain sequences of reference antibody #2 ("Ref. Ab. #2") are represented by SEQ ID NOs:76 and 75, respectively.

[0305] Anti-TREM2 antibodies were evaluated using the human macrophage cell survival assay described in Example 4. FIG. 11A illustrates cell viability dose-response curves with the anti-TREM2 antibodies, with "ISO" referring to the isotype control for ATV:TREM2 #3 (Table 5). Corresponding potency (EC50) and maximum response (Emax) values as determined from the dose-response curves are provided in FIGS. 11B and 11C; individual marks represent single values from human cell donors (n=3). The results provided in FIGS. 11A-11C indicate that ATV:TREM2 #3 is more potent in promoting human macrophage survival in vitro than reference antibodies #1 and #2. id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306" id="p-306"

[0306] In a separate experiment, human macrophage cells were treated with 100 nM of surface-immobilized anti-TREM2 antibodies for five days, after which cell culture media for each set of cells was collected and analyzed for cytokine release using Luminex xMAP technology and a commercial bead-based multiplex assay kit (Human Cytokine 42-Plex Discovery Assay®, Eve Technologies Corp.). A heat map of relative cytokine release level is illustrated in FIG. 12 (Z-score used for plotting). The results in FIG. 12 illustrates that ATV:TREM2 #3 induces less inflammation in human macrophage cells than reference antibodies #1 and #2. id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307" id="p-307"
id="p-307"
[0307] In summary, ATV:TREM2 #3, reference antibody #1, and reference antibody #2 are able to promote human macrophage survival and proliferation (FIG. 11A). However, ATV:TREM2 #3 shows stronger potency for cell survival with reduced overall cytokine signature relative to reference antibodies #1 and #2 (FIGS. 11B, 11C, and 12).

The data is normalized to the isotype control for each antibody. As shown in FIGS. 13A-13C, ATV:TREM2 #3 is able to modulate triglyceride (TG) species post-oleic acid dosing, while the reference antibodies did not significantly change levels of TG species after oleic acid 80 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0310] To assess how anti-TREM2 antibodies impact TREM2 levels in iPSC-derived microglial cells ("iMG"), iMG were incubated with ATV:TREM2 #3 or reference antibody #1 for 72 hours at various concentrations, followed by measurement of TREM2 levels in iMG cell lysate and cell culture medium. TREM2 was measured as follows. Briefly, MSD small spot streptavidin plates (Meso Scale Discovery) were coated with biotinylated goat anti-hTREM2 polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems, BAF1828) at room temperature for 1 hour. The plates were then blocked with MSD Block A buffer (Meso Scale Discovery) for 1 hour at room temperature. Samples and standards were prepared/diluted with assay buffer (25% MSD Block A buffer in TBST), and 30 µL of samples and standards was loaded into the plate after blocking. After 1 hour of incubation at room temperature, the plates were washed with TBST and followed by binding the primary antibody (ATV:TREM2 #3) for 1- hour at room temperature. Afterwards, diluted sulfo-tagged goat anti-human IgG (Southern Biotech, 2049-01) was added to the plates, and incubated for one hour at room temperature.
After washing with TBST, the MSD plates were developed using 2x MSD read buffer T, followed by detection using an MSD Sector plate reader. MSD values were converted to absolute quantities of TREM2 by fitting a standard curve using Meso Scale Discovery software (Discovery Workbench). id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311" id="p-311"

[0311] FIGS. 14A and 14B show plots of TREM2 levels as a function of antibody concentration in iMG cell lysates and cell culture media after incubation with anti-TREM2 antibodies. TREM2 levels for each antibody are normalized to their specific isotype control.
In FIGS. 14A and 14B, "ISO" represents isotype control for ATV:TREM2 #3. As illustrated in FIG. 14A, the levels of total TREM2 increased with increasing amounts of antibody in the cell lysates of iMG treated with ATV:TREM2 #3 and reference antibody #1. In contrast, the levels of soluble TREM2 decreased with increasing amounts of antibody in the cell culture media of the antibody-treated cells.

[4:0:v8.0] from 36 to 53 months were intravenously administered a single dose of 30 mg/kg test article (Table 6, n=5 per cohort).

[0313] The results are illustrated in Table 6 and FIG. 15. Table 6 shows the PK values of anti-TREM2 antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of non-human primates. The PK values of ATV:TREM2 variants show that these antibodies have a higher exposure in CSF relative to TREM2 Ab (lacking binding capacity for transferrin receptor; heavy and light chain sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 83 and 54, respectively) and reference antibody #1.

[0315] To investigate the effects of ATV:TREM2 in vivo, we generated a BAC transgenic mouse that expresses human TREM2. These mice were crossed to a human transferrin receptor knock-in mouse described in U.S. Patent No. 10,143,187 to allow for characterization of the ATV:TREM2 molecules described herein.

[0316] To investigate the effects of ATV:TREM2 in vivo, we generated several transgenic mouse lines expressing the human TREM2 by using modified BAC DNA CTD-2210D2 (ThermoFisher Scientific; Cat. No. 96012). In the original BAC DNA CTD-2210D2, the human TREM2 coding region and its regulatory elements are flanked by two other TREM- like genes, TREML1 and TREML2. To avoid interference from these TREM-like genes, we abolished their expression by deleting exon 1 from TREML1 and exon 3 from TREML2. 82 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] This engineered BAC CTD-2210D2 DNA construct was injected into the pronucleus of fertilized mouse eggs from C57BL/6J mice. Two independent founder lines (termed TB36 and TB45) were obtained and were shown to have germline transmission. id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317" id="p-317"
id="p-317"
[0317] To characterize and compare these two transgenic lines, hemizygous transgenic animals and wild type non-transgenic litter mate controls were used for analysis. Human TREM2 copy number was determined using qPCR analysis of tail genomic DNA. Human TREM2 mRNA and protein levels were measured in brains, liver, lung, and spleen by qRT- PCR and anMSD assay. Human TREML1 and TREML2 mRNA were analyzed in brain- sorted microglia by qRT-PCR. Surface TREM2 expression was quantified by FACS in bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM). Human TREM2 function was assessed by the in vitro BMDM survival assay. id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318" id="p-318"
id="p-318"
[0318] Human TREML1 and TREML2 were undetectable in either TB36 or TB45, showing successful deletion of these genes. qPCR analysis showed that there are two and one copies of human TREM2 transgenes in TB36 and TB45, respectively, with corresponding higher human TREM2 expression in TB36 relative to TB45 in brains and peripheral tissues.
The in vitro survival assay showed that human TREM2 agonist antibodies trigger stronger responses in TB36 line than in TB45 line. id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319" id="p-319"

[0319] Based on this ex vivo and in vitro characterization, we selected TB36 for the following breeding and in vivo studies. The hemizygous TB36 mice were further backcrossed to C57BL/6J for three rounds and then bred with hTfR KI mice (described in U.S. Patent No. ,143,187) to generate human TREM2 BAC hemizygous; hTfR KI homozygous mice for in vivo studies.

[0320] To determine whether ATV:TREM2 can trigger microglia response in vivo, a single dose of ATV:TREM2 #3 or a corresponding isotype control (ATV:RSV) (100 mg/kg) was intravenously administered to TB36/hTfR KI mice at day 0, and mice were sacrificed at day 1 or day 4 post-dose for ex vivo analysis. At the time of sacrifice, animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 2.5% Avertin. Terminal blood was collected through the cardiac puncture in an EDTA tube with slow inversion (10 times) and was then centrifuged at 15,350 g for 7 minutes at 4°C. Plasma (top layer) was transferred to a 1.5-ml Eppendorf tube and stored at -80°C until measurement. After blood collection, CSF samples were collected 83 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature. Click here for details. [4:0:v8.0] by pre-pulled glass capillary tubes from the cisterna magna and then transferred to 0.5 mL Protein LoBind Eppendorf tubes for centrifugation at 12,700 rpm for 7 minutes at 4°C. The supernatants of CSF samples were snap frozen on dry ice and stored at -80°C until measurement. The animals were then perfused with cold PBS, and brains were dissected out, and the two hemispheres were separated. Right hemi-brains were immersion fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C for 24 hours and then transferred to a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution with 0.1% sodium azide for storage until ready for 30% sucrose processing and sectioning. Left hemi-brains were cut into two pieces and snap frozen in two tubes for the PK measurement and other target engagement/cytokines analyses, respectively. id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321" id="p-321"

[0323] For detection of proliferating microglia (EdU+Iba1+), the brain sections at day 4 post-dose were treated with Click-iT EdU-imaging kits (ThermoFisher Scientific, C10637) followed by Iba1 immunostaining. EdU-Iba1 staining showed that ATV:TREM2 dramatically increases newborn microglia number (EdU+ Iba1+; FIG. 16A) and total microglial coverage area (Iba1+ area; FIG. 16B) in the brains compared to the isotype control, thus demonstrating that ATV:TREM2 significantly increases microglial proliferation as compared to the control. 84 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0324] To determine the lowest effective dosage of ATV:TREM2 and to compare to non- ATV TREM2 antibodies, a single dose of ATV:TREM2 #3 (1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg) or a corresponding TREM2 reference antibody ("TREM2 Ab;" 30 mg/kg), reference antibody #2 (30 mg/kg) or isotype control (ATV:RSV; 30 mg/kg) were intravenously administered to TB36/hTfR KI mice at day 0. To measure microglial proliferation, mice were IP administrated with EdU at day 0, day 1, day 2 and day 3 after antibody treatment. Mice were taken down at day 1 and day 4 for analysis. EdU-Iba1 double staining shows dosage- dependent increase of new born microglia from 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of the ATV:TREM2- dosed animals at day 4, with 10 mg/kg ATV:TREM2 showing the maximum effect on microglial proliferation (FIGS. 17A and 17B). Furthermore, the effect of 1 mg/kg ATV:TREM2 on microglial proliferation is slightly higher (not statistically significant) than either anti-TREM2 or reference antibody #2, despite 30-fold higher dosing.

[0325] To determine the effect of ATV:TREM2 on cytokine (e.g., chemokine) levels, cytokine levels were measured in terminal plasma and brain lysates (prepared by Cell Signaling lysis buffer #9803) of TB36/hTfR KI mice using the Mouse Cytokine Array/Chemokine Array 44-Plex (MD44). We found that treatment with ATV:TREM2 #3 did not change the cytokine levels measured in the plasma, but acutely increased some cytokine levels (e.g., IP-10 and MCP-5) measured in the brain at 24-hr post-dose, and these cytokine levels were restored to the baseline level at 96-hr post-dose. ATV:TREM2 #3 at 3 mg/kg had maximum effect on brain cytokine levels (FIGS. 18A and 18B).

[0326] To determine the effect of ATV:TREM2 on the level of glial marker CSF1R, CSF1R protein level was measured in brain lysates (prepared by Cell Signaling lysis buffer #9803) of TB36/hTfR KI mice using a commercial ELISA kit (Abcam ab240681). We found that increasing doses of ATV:TREM2 #3 resulted in an increased CSF1R protein level at 1 day after treatment and 4 days after treatment (FIG. 19). 85 DynamicPDF for .NET v8.0.0.40 (Build 29393)Evaluating unlicensed DynamicPDF feature.

[0327] Proportional increases in plasma PK were observed with doses of ATV:TREM2 #3 ranging from 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg. At 24 hours, the plasma concentrations of matched doses of 30 mg/kg of ATV:TREM2 #3, reference antibody #2, and TREM2 Ab were not significantly different. Reference antibody #2 appeared to have a lower clearance compared to ATV:TREM2 #3 and TREM2 Ab at the same dose (FIG. 20).

[0328] At 24 hours, the brain concentration of 10 mg/kg of ATV:TREM2 #3 was similar to TREM2 Ab at 30 mg/kg, and the brain concentration of 1-3mg/kg of ATV:TREM2 #3 was similar to reference antibody #2 at 30 mg/kg. More than proportional increases were observed at doses of 3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of ATV:TREM2 #3, and proportional increases were observed at other doses. At 96 hours, the brain concentration of 10 mg/kg of ATV:TREM2 #3 was similar to TREM2 Ab and the reference antibody #2 at 30 mg/kg (FIG. 21). Overall, brain uptake of ATV:TREM2 #3 is more efficient than TREM2 Ab and reference antibody #2.
