Description
ANTIBODIES USEFUL IN PASSIVE INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION
d Application
This ation claims benefit of US. application Serial Number 61/5 67,046 filed
December 2011 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of passive immunization against influenza. More
particularly, ic antibodies that bind near to the HA0 maturation cleavage site consensus
sequence of influenza hemagglutinin A, including antibodies secreted by human cells are
described.
Background Art
The hemagglutinin protein (HA) of influenza virus has a globular head domain
which is highly heterogeneous among flu strains and a stalk region containing a fusion site
which is needed for entry into the cells. HA is present as a trimer on the viral envelope. The
uncleaved form of hemagglutinin protein (HA0) is ted by ge by trypsin into HA1
and HA2 portions to permit the fusion site to effect virulence. The two cleaved portions remain
coupled using disulfide bonds but undergo a conformational change in the low pH environment
of the host cell mal compartment which leads to fusion of the viral and host cell
membranes.
The cleavage site contains a consensus sequence that is shared both by influenza A
and influenza B and by the various strains of influenza A and B. The uncleaved hemagglutinin
protein trimer (HA0) is referred to as the inactivated form, whereas when cleaved into HA1 and
HA2 portions, the hemagglutinin protein is referred to as being in the activated form.
Bianchi, E., et al., J. Virol. (2005) 79:7380-7388 describe a “universal” influenza B
vaccine based on the consensus sequence of this ge site wherein a peptide comprising this
site was able to raise dies in mice when conjugated to the outer membrane protein
complex of Neisseria meningitidis. Monoclonal dies which appear to bind to the
consensus sequence were also described. In addition, successful passive transfer of antiserum
was observed in mice. Other prior art es, such as those bed in W02004/080403
comprising peptides derived from the M2 and/or HA proteins of influenza induce dies
that are either of weak efficacy or are not effective across strains.

Antibodies described in the art which bind the HA stalk region involve those
developed by Crucell, CR6261 and CR8020 described in Throsby, M., et al., PLoS One (2008)
3:e3942, Ekiert, D. C., et al., Science (2011) 333:843-850, and Sui, J., et al., Nat. Struct. M01.
Biol. (2009) 16:265-273. An MAB has also been developed against the conserved M2E antigen
as described by a, A. G., et al., PNAS USA (2010) 107:12658-12663. M2E is on the
surface of infected cells and is also the target of amantadine and adine. Drug resistance
has ed against these antibiotics which suggests that this target does not serve an essential
function.
An additional antibody has been described by the ecchia Group: Corti, D., et
al., Science (2011) 0-856 which binds and neutralizes both Group 1 and Group 2 strains
of influenza A, but the potency is not as high as those described herein as shown in the
examples below. In addition, an MAB that is immunoreactive against both influenza A and B
as described in Dreyfus, C., et al., Science (2012) 337: 1343-1348 has less potency than those
described below.
PCT ation publication No. W0201 1/160083, incorporated herein by reference,
describes monoclonal antibodies that are derived from human cells and useful in passive
vaccines. The antibodies show high affinities of binding to influenza viral clade H1, which is in
Group 1, and some of the antibodies also show high affinities to H9, also in Group 1 and/or to
H7 in Group 2 and/or H2 in Group 1. Some of the antibodies disclosed bind only the
inactivated trimer form, presumably at the consensus cleavage region, while others are able to
bind activated hemagglutinin protein which has already been cleaved.
There remains a need for antibodies that bind additional clades and show enhanced
affinity thereto.
Disclosure of the Invention
The invention provides monoclonal dies that bind s representative of
either or both Group 1 and Group 2 of influenza A with enhanced affinity. Such antibodies are
able to confer passive immunity in the event of a pandemic caused, for example, by a previously
unidentified influenza strain or a strain against which protection is not conferred by the seasonal
vaccines currently available. As at least some of the antibodies bind across many strains,
tive of targeting an essential site, they are likely to bind even previously untered
strains. Such antibodies are also useful to ameliorate or prevent infection in subjects for whom
vaccination failed to produce a fully protective response or who are at high risk due to a weak

immune system (e. g., the very young, the elderly, transplant patients, cancer or HIV
herapy treated patients).
Thus, in one aspect, the invention is directed to binding moieties, notably
monoclonal antibodies or immunoreactive fragments thereof that are y crossreactive with
influenza A virus of Group 1 including H1, H2, H5, H6, H8, H9, H11, H13, H16 or Group 2
including H3 and H7 as type specimens, or that show cross-Group reactivity. Some of the
antibodies illustrated below bind to an epitope contained in the HA0 protein ically and
recognize the native trimeric form of HA, as well as the activated form.
Particularly important are bispecific antibodies and fragments thereof which are able
to enhance the range of viral clades that can be bound ically.
As is well understood in the art, non-immunoglobulin based proteins may have
similar epitope recognition properties as antibodies and can also provide suitable embodiments,
including binding agents based on fibronectin, transferrin or lipocalin. c acid based
moieties, such as rs also have these binding properties.
In other aspects, the invention is directed to methods to use the binding moieties of
the invention for passively inhibiting viral infection in subjects that are already exposed to the
virus or that are already infected. The invention is also directed to recombinant materials and
methods to produce antibodies or fragments.

Modes of Carrying Out the Invention
The present invention provides useful binding moieties, including antibodies and
fragments thereof as well as effective means to identify cells that secrete such antibodies so that
the relevant coding ces can be retrieved and stored for subsequent and facile inant
tion of such antibodies.
The antibodies or analogous binding moieties of the invention are useful for both
prophylaxis and therapy. Thus, they may be used to protect a subject against challenge by the
virus as well as for ent of subjects that are already exposed or infected with influenza.
The subjects of most ultimate interest are human subjects and for use in human subjects, human
forms or humanized forms of the binding moieties which are traditional l antibodies or
immunoreactive nts thereof are preferred. However, the antibodies containing
appropriate binding characteristics as dictated by the CDR regions when used in studies in
laboratory animals may retain man characteristics. The antibodies employed in the
studies of the examples below, although done in mice, nevertheless contain both variable and
constant regions which are human.
The subjects for which the binding moieties including antibodies of the invention are
useful in y and laxis include, in addition to humans, any subject that is susceptible
to infection by flu. Thus, various mammals, such as bovine, porcine, ovine and other
mammalian subjects including horses and old pets will benefit from the prophylactic and
therapeutic use of these binding moieties. In on, za is known to infect avian
species which will also benefit from compositions containing the antibodies of the invention.
Methods of use for prophylaxis and therapy are conventional and generally well
known. The antibodies or other binding moieties are typically provided by injection but oral
vaccines are also understood to be effective. Dosage levels and timing of administration are
easily optimized and within the skill of the art.
Human cells that secrete useful antibodies can be identified using, in particular, the
CellSpotTM method described in U.S. patent 7,413,868, the contents of which are incorporated
herein by reference. Briefly, the method is able to screen individual cells obtained from human
(or other) subjects in high hput assays taking advantage of labeling with particulate labels
and microscopic observation. In one illustrative embodiment, even a single cell can be analyzed
for antibodies it secretes by allowing the secreted antibodies to be adsorbed on, or coupled to, a
surface and then treating the surface with desired antigens each coupled to a distinctive
particulate label. The footprint of a cell can therefore be identified with the aid of a microscope.
Usifihis que, millions of cells can be screened for desirable antibody secretions and

even rare dies, such as those herein ble for passive influenza immunization across
s can be recovered. Since human subjects have existing antibodies to at least some
influenza strains, and since the antibodies obtained by the method of the invention bind a
conserved sequence, these antibodies serve the purpose of addressing new strains as well as
strains with which human populations have experience.
Methods to obtain suitable dies are not limited to the CellSpotTM technique,
nor are they limited to human subjects. Cells that produce suitable antibodies can be identified
by various means and the cells may be those of laboratory animals such as mice or other rodents.
The nucleic acid sequences encoding these antibodies can be isolated and a variety of forms of
antibodies produced, including chimeric and humanized forms of antibodies produced by non-
human cells. In addition, recombinantly produced antibodies or fragments include single-chain
antibodies or Fab or Fabz regions of them. Human antibodies may also be ed using hosts
such as the XenoMouse® with a humanized immune system. Means for tion of
antibodies for screening for suitable binding characteristics are well known in the art.
Similarly, means to construct aptamers with desired binding ns are also known
in the art.
As noted above, antibodies or other binding moieties may bind the activated form,
the inactivated form or both of the lutinin protein. It is advantageous in some instances
that the epitope is at the cleavage site of this protein as it is relatively conserved across strains,
but preferably the binding moiety binds both the trimer and the activated form.
The cleavage site for various strains of influenza A and za B is known. For
example, the above cited article by Bianchi, et (11., shows in Table l the sequence around the
cleavage site of several such strains:

As indicated, strict consensus occurs starting with the arginine residue upstream of
the cleavage site and thus preferred consensus ces included in the test peptides of the
ion have the sequence RGI/L/F FGAIAGFLE (SEQ ID NO:57). It may be possible to use
only a portion of this sequence in the test peptides.
As noted above, once cells that secrete the desired antibodies have been identified, it
is straightforward to retrieve the nucleotide sequences encoding them and to produce the desired
antibodies on a large scale recombinantly. This also s manipulation of the antibodies so
that they can be ed, for example, as single-chain antibodies or in terms of their variable
s only.
The retrieved nucleic acids may be physically stored and recovered for later
recombinant production and/or the sequence information as to the coding sequence for the
antibody may be ved and stored to permit subsequent synthesis of the appropriate nucleic
acids. The availability of the information contained in the coding sequences and rapid synthesis
and cloning techniques along with known methods of recombinant production permits rapid
tion of needed antibodies in the event of a pandemic or other emergency.
For reference, the sequences of human constant regions of both heavy and light
chains have been described and are set forth herein as SEQ ID NOS: 1-3. In the above-
referenced WOZOl 1/160083, various monoclonal antibodies with variable regions of
determined amino acid sequence and nucleotide coding sequences have been recovered that
bind with varying degrees of affinity to HA n of various strains of influenza. The
structures of variable regions, both light and heavy chains, of those of ular interest herein
are set forth for convenience herein as SEQ ID NOS:22-25. These antibodies include MAB8
and MAB53. MAB53 and MAB8 bind with particular ty to H1; further, MAB53 binds
tightly to H5, H7 and H9. MAB8 also binds H7 and H2. Neither of these antibodies binds
strongly to H3, but MAB579 does bind H3 described herein. H7 and H3 are particularly
attractive targets.
In more detail, each of these MABs binds to at least three different clades with
reasonable or high affinity. MAB53 binds to HA0 from the H1, H9 and H7 clades and MAB8
binds to HA0 from H1, H7 clades and less strongly to and H3, as demonstrated by ELISA assay
against HA0 n. The ties are in the nanomolar range. Reactivity to native trimer of
HA from all the Group 1 clades was verified using HA expressed in HEK293 cells with
antibody binding measured by flow cytometry.

These results were confirmed using an alternative assay system, the biolevel
interferometry based binding assay designated ForteBio® biosensor. As measured by this more
accurate assay, the affinities are as follows:
MAB53 / H1 = 60 pM, H5 = 6 nM, H7 = 70 pM, H9 = 30 pM;
MAB8 / H1 = 9 nM, H3 =16 nM, H5 = 0.2 nM.
The additional specific antibodies identified in the present application, MAB383,
MAB486, MAB579, MAB699, MAB700, MAB708, MAB710, MAB711 and MAB723 are
represented by SEQ ID NOS:4-21 in terms of the amino acid sequences of their variable heavy
chain and light chain. These antibodies bind with enhanced affinity to additional clades of
influenza s. For example, MAB579 binds with high affinity to both H3 and H7. Thus,
these antibodies add to the repertoire of antibodies useful in prophylaxis and ent of
influenza.
Multiple technologies now exist for making a single antibody-like molecule that
incorporates antigen specificity domains from two separate antibodies (bi-specific antibody).
Thus, a single antibody with very broad strain reactivity can be constructed using the Fab
domains of individual antibodies with broad reactivity to Group 1 and Group 2 respectively.
Suitable technologies have been bed by enics (Rockville, MD), Micromet
(Bethesda, MD) and Merrimac (Cambridge, MA). (See, e. g., Orcutt KD, Ackerman ME,
Cieslewicz M, Quiroz E, Slusarczyk AL, Frangioni JV, Wittrup KD. A modular IgG-scFv
bispecific antibody topology, Protein Eng Des Sel. (2010) 23:221-228; Fitzgerald J,
Lugovskoy A. Rational engineering of antibody therapeutics targeting multiple oncogene
pathways. MAbs. (2011) 1:3(3); Baeuerle PA, Reinhardt C. ific T-cell engaging
antibodies for cancer therapy. Cancer Res. (2009) 69:4941-4944.)
Thus, it is particularly useful to provide antibodies or other binding es which
bind to multiple types of lutinin protein by constructing bispecific antibodies.
Particularly useful combinations are those that combine the binding specificity of MAB53 (H1,
H5, H9) with MAB579 (H3, H7).
All of the antibodies of the present ion e at least one of the binding
specificities of the newly disclosed antibodies described above. These may be combined with
various other antibodies, including those that were described in the above-referenced
WO201 83 as well as other members of the new group of antibodies disclosed . All
of the possible combinations of such g specificities are within the scope of the present
invention.

While MAB53 binds with high affinity to HA0, it does not bind HA1 implying
binding to the complementary HA2 fragment, which binding was confirmed. As MAB53 does
not bind to HA0 when tested by Western blot, it is assumed that the dominant epitope is at least
in part mational. It was been found that MAB8 and MAB53 bind to the same or nearby
epitopes as demonstrated by their ability to compete with each other for binding to the HA0
protein of the H1 clade.
All of the dies disclosed herein, including those previously disclosed in the
above-referenced WO201 1/160083 bind to the native HA trimer expressed on the surface of
HA transfected cells. This was verified using an HA-encoding plasmid ed by
S. Galloway and D. auer of Emory University. That is, the trimer yed on the cell
surface of the clades recognized by the various MAB’s of the invention is recognized by
these MAB’s.
It was shown that MAB53 and MAB8 differ in that MAB8 is released from the HA0
protein when the pH is lowered to 6, whereas MAB53 is not. This difference is significant as it
appears predictive of neutralizing capability. In tests for the ability to neutralize HlNl viral
infection in a plaque reduction assay in MDCK target cells, low doses of MAB53 of l-5 ug/ml
neutralized infection by HlNl, by H7N3, H5N1 and H9N2. r, MAB8 does not
neutralize ion by these strains. Thus, neutralizing strains may be preferentially selected by
washing bound MAB or fragment at pH 6 during the primary screen, thus removing from HA0
MAB’s that are unlikely to remain bound as the antibody-virus complex enters the cell via the
endosomal compartment and thus will be expected to have reduced ability to neutralize the
virus. For e, in the CellSpot method HA0 may be bound to solid support (fluorescent
beads) and captured by the MAB or a mixture of MAB’s, then washed at pH 6.
It was also shown that mice pretreated with graded doses of MAB53 survive
challenge with otherwise lethal titers of HlNl and H5Nl viruses with 100% tion against
HlNl challenge. The y is comparable to a prior art antibody described by Crucell which
does not show activity against Group 2 strains. Throsby, M., (supra) 3:e3942. The Crucell
antibodies are heterosubtypic lizing monoclonal antibodies cross-protective against H5N1
and HlNl red from human IgM+ memory B cells. MAB53 also provided full protection
at 10 mg/kg; 90% ed at 2 mg/kg and 50% survived at 0.4 mg/kg. Where challenge by
H5Nl was substituted for challenge by HlNl, for MAB53, 10 mg/kg gave 80% survival;
2 mg/kg gave 60% survival and 0.4 mg/kg gave 50% survival.

MAB53 and antibodies that bind to the same epitope under the same conditions,
i.e., then remain bound when the pH is lowered to 6, are effective as passive vaccines suitable
for protection of populations against epidemics and pandemics, and for prophylactic or
therapeutic use t seasonal influenza for patients with a weakened immune system.
Combinations of the epitope binding region of MAB53 with the high affinity binding epitopes
of the antibodies of the present invention are particularly useful in ucting bispecific
antibodies. This clearly permits, for example, effective binding of H7, H3 and H1 in the same
antibody when MAB579 binding regions are included in the dy. This is shown in Table 2
which provides the IC50’s for various strains of influenza hemagglutinin protein shown by
MAB579.

These values were obtained in the MDCK monolayer microneutralization assay. A
graphical representation of the affinity of MAB 579 for various strains is also shown in Figure 2.
As shown, while H3 and H7 are y bound, negligible binding affinity is found for H1.
Thus, it is ularly advantageous to combine the binding region of MAB579 with that of an
MAB with high binding to H1. In this case, then, both Group 1 and Group 2 are represented.
One embodiment of the invention includes a biospecific antibody that binds both the epitope
bound by MAB53 and that bound by MAB579.

In addition to bispecific antibodies per se, the invention contemplates the use of the
heavy chain only in constructs for neutralization of viral infection; such antibodies may also be
bispecific. It is understood in the art that specificity is mostly conferred by the heavy chain
variable regions, and in some stances, heavy chains alone have been successful as active
ingredients in vaccines. atively, the heavy chain of appropriate specificity may be
associated with s forms of light chain to enhance the ty or y to neutralize virus.
It is particularly noted that the CDR3 region of the heavy chains of the antibodies
described herein is extended and contains multiple tyrosine es. It is understood that such
tyrosine residues may be sulfonated as a posttranslational event. Thus, also part of the invention
are es which comprise the CDR3 regions of the heavy chains of MAB579, MAB699,
MAB700, MAB708, MAB710, MAB711 or MAB723 wherein one or more of the tyrosine
residues in said region is optionally sulfonated. These s with or without sulfonation may
also be used alone as passive vaccines. The sulfonation of the CDR3 region is consistent with
criteria for sulfonation as described by tti, F., et al., Bioinformatics (2002) 18:769-770.
Other instances where CDR3 regions of heavy chains have been used successfully alone in
neutralization of viral infection are described in Pej chal, R., et al., PNAS (2010)
107:11483-11488 and by Liu, L., et al., J. Virol. (2011) 85:8467-8476.
As used herein, the term “antibody” includes immunoreactive fragments of
traditional antibodies even if, on occasion, “fragments” are mentioned redundantly. The
antibodies, thus, include Fab fragments, FV single-chain dies which contain a substantially
only variable regions, bispecific antibodies and their various fragmented forms that still retain
immunospecificity and proteins in general that mimic the activity of “natural” antibodies by
comprising amino acid sequences or modified amino acid sequences (i.e., pseudopeptides) that
approximate the activity of variable regions of more traditional naturally occurring antibodies.

6. Nucleotide ces encoding heavy and light chain variable region amino acid
sequences of MAB8 and MAB53.
With respect to the indicated CDR regions, it should be noted that there is more than
one system for identifying CDRs. Most frequently used is the Kabat system originally set forth
in Wu, T. T., et al., J. Exp. Med. (1970) 132:211-250. Kabat is a widely adopted system which
identifies specific positions as associated with CDRs. An additional system, the a
ing scheme provides slightly different results. It is bed in Al-Lazikani, B., et al.,
J. Molec. Biol. (1997) 273:927-948. Depending on which system is used, slightly ent
results for CDRs are indicated. For e, in MAB53 the heavy chain CDR according to
Kabat is KYAIN whereas the Clothia system designates GG RKYA N. The heavy chain
CDR2 region has an additional G at the N-terminus and the CDR3 an additional AR at the
N-terminus. For the light chain, the CDR designations are identical in both systems.
Some criticism has been leveled at both systems by various workers; ore, it is
tood that the CDR regions as designated herein and in the claims may vary slightly. As
long as the resulting variable regions retain their binding ability, the precise location of the CDR
regions is not significant, and those regions designated in the claims are to be considered to
include CDRs identified by any accepted system.

The following examples are offered to illustrate but not to limit the invention.
Example 1
Affinity of MAB53 and MAB579
The affinity of MAB53 was ed in the above cited PCT publication. This
dy binds HA strongly from clades H5, H7, H1 and H9, with less ty for H2 and H3.
MAB579 binds HA with high affinity with respect to H7 and H3. Figures 3A and 3B show
typical results using the standard ForteBioTM assay for each antibody.

Neutralization of Infection by MAB486 and MAB579
MAB’s 486 and 579 were tested for inhibition of infection by H1N1 and H3N2
(A/Perth/16/2009) and plaque formation in MDCK cell monolayers in the presence or absence
of trypsin in the initial infection phase. MAB486 and pAb XCP (a rabbit polyclonal raised
t the cleavage site consensus sequence) neutralize H1N1 (A/California/04/2009) only in
the absence of trypsin as shown in Figure 4A, and are unable to inhibit infection and plaque
formation if the virus is first activated with trypsin. This shows that antibodies directed to the
fusion region with epitopes relying on intact fusion peptide (i.e., protease tible) are not as
effective in controlling viral infection. As shown in Figure 4B, MAB579 inhibits infection in
both the presence and absence of trypsin.
The ability of MAB53 to neutralize infection was previously reported, but a
comparison of the affinities and EC50 for in vitro neutralization are compared to those for the
Crucell monoclonal antibodies CR6261 in Table 3 below.

Example 3 Determination of Epitopes
Pepscan M Technology was used to map the binding sites of MAB53 and
MAB579. About 6,000 unique peptides of varying lengths and with varying length connecters
to constrain the ends of each peptide to mimic native structure were synthesized for H1 and for
H3. Binding to the stalk region by MAB53 and MAB579 was confirmed using rabbit sera to
globular head or stalk as competitors and by direct binding to peptides from the stalk region. As
noted above, MAB486 binds both Group 1 and Group 2 but only in the preactivated state before
protease cleavage of HA0 to disulfide linked HA1 and HA2. It was concluded that the epitope
for cross-clade binding is a discontinuous epitope spanning two rs of the native
ic HA0.
Example 4
In Vivo Potency [MAB53] and Pharmacokinetics [MAB53 and MAB579)
The strains used in these experiments were:
HlNl: A/CA/04/09;
H5Nl: A/Vietnam/l203/04/HPAI;
H3N2: A/Perth/16/09;
H7N3: A/Red Knot/NJ/1523470/06.
To test prophylaxis, MAB53 was provided to mice as a single intraperitoneal dose of
mg/kg at Day -1 which was followed at Day 0 by a dose of virus 10 times the LD50 delivered
intranasally. The potency of MAB53 was determined to exhibit EC50 at 0.4 mg/kg as ed
to the l antibody CR626l which is reported to exhibit an EC50 of 1-1.5 mg/kg
(Koudstaal, W., et al., J. Infect. Dis. (2009) 200:1870-1873).
To test therapeutic iveness, MAB was given as a single eritoneal dose of
mg/kg at Day +3 for most strains or at Day +1 for H7N3. MAB53 was fully ive with
respect to HlNl and H5Nl whereas essentially all control mice were dead by Day 10.
MAB579 was essentially fully effective against H3N2 and H7N3 whereas virtually all control
mice were dead before Day 10.
Weight loss was also measured and declines were no worse than 20% in the d
mice.
In comparison to treatment with Tamiflu® (oseltamivir phosphate), mice (10 per
group) were anesthetized and infected intranasally with 10 times the LD50 dose of virus (HlNl
Influenza A/Ca/04/09). MAB53 (or control e-matched human IgG) was given i.p. at
Day +l nfection. Tamiflu® was given by oral gavage twice daily for 4 days starting on

Day +1 post-infection. Both mortality and morbidity (assessed by weight loss) were far more
severe for the Tamiflu® cohort compared to the MAB53 cohort.
For controls, all of the mice were dead by eight days post infection. For those
treated with Tamiflu®, all but two mice were dead before eight days post infection; these two
mice ed at least to Day 14. In the group d with MAB53, eight of the ten mice
survived past Day 8 to Day 14.
With respect to weight loss, the control group declined in weight to 70% of their
initial weight after eight days. The declines in weight were reversed at Day 4 for the mice
treated with MAB53 and the original weight was exceeded by Day 14. In the Tamiflu® treated
mice, weight loss was reversed by Day 6 but only 92% of the original weight was attained by
Day 14.
Pharmacokinetics were also examined in mice for MAB53 and MAB 579. These
show a half-life in mice of about 7-14 days corresponding to a half-life in humans of 3-4 weeks.
This corresponds to that typical for an IgGl K MAB. The bispecific antibody MAB579/53Bi
(see Example 5) shows a similar half-life.
Example 5
Construction of MAB579/53Bi
The construction of MAB579/53Bi provides an scFv n of MAB53 coupled to
the constant region of MAB579 as shown in Figure 5. Construction of such ific
antibodies is well known in the art (Marvin, J. 8., Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (2005)
26:649-658). Thus, MAB579/53Bi provides bivalent binding at both ends of the molecule
along with an intact Fc region. Table 4 shows that the bispecific dy retains the affinity of
the ndent antibodies as measured by ioTM in nM. The ific antibody further
retains the neutralization capability of the individual antibodies of which it is composed and has
an EC50 of 3.5 ug/ml against H1N1; 6.0 ug/ml against H5N1, and 2.2 ug/ml t H3N2.

In vivo Potency of MAB579/53Bi
In vivo efficacy was measured as described generally in Example 4 with the results
as shown in Figures 6A-6E.
As shown in Figure 6A and 6C, mice were infected with A/Ca/04/09 (HlNl)
(representing influenza Group 1) on Day 0, and d by IP injection with 10 mg/ml MAB53
alone, 10 mg/ml MAB579 alone or either a mixture of MAB53 and MAB579 (Figure 6A) or the
bispecific antibody (Figure 6C) at Day 2, (Figure 6C also shows weight loss curves). Controls
received IgG at 20 mg/kg. The mixture of MAB’s was administered at 10 mg/kg each and the
bispecific antibody was administered at 10 mg/kg. As shown in Figure 6A, the mixture of
MAB53 and MAB579, as well as MAB53 alone, were tive, while MAB579 and control
resulted in no survivors after 10 days. As shown in Figure 6C, the bispecific antibody was
equally effective as the mixture.
Similar results were obtained in the ous protocol for mice infected with a
Group 2 representative Philippines 2/82 (H2N3) as shown in Figures 6B and 6D. (Figure 6D
also shows weight loss curves.) As shown in Figure 6B, the mixture was effective against this
virus as was MAB579, but MAB53 alone and control resulted in death after 10 days. In
Figure 6D, it is demonstrated that the bispecific antibody is equally effective as the mixture.
Figure 6E shows the results of treatment of ion using the analogous protocol
where the challenge was with both Group 1 and Group 2 representatives HlNl and H2N3
which both infected the same mouse. A combination of MAB579 and MAB53 each at 3 mg/kg
was completely protective and at 1 mg/kg each protected 80% of the mice. This is significant
e ection occurs in nature resulting in recombined virus that may cause a pandemic.
