Description
ANTIBODIES AND POLYPEPTIDES DIRECTED AGAINST CD127
[1] The invention is in the field of polypeptides or antibodies useful in therapeutic and diagnostics applications targeting CD 127, the alpha chain of the 1L7 receptor, and provides in particular humanized monoclonal antibodies against CD127, particularly human CD127, therapeutic uses thereof, and diagnostics applications.
Brief description of the invention
[2] The alpha chain (or subunit) of the receptor for interleukin7 (IL-7), is designated CD 127 or p90 IL-7R or IL-7Ralpha or IL-7Ra (sometimes also noted IL-7Ra). In a particular aspect, the antibodies, particularly monoclonal antibodies, provided herein are directed against the alpha chain of the receptor for human IL-7 expressed on human cells. In a particular aspect, the antibodies provided herein hâve antagonist properties for IL-7-IL-7R interaction, may présent cytotoxic activity against CD 127 positive cells but do not increase the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) induced by TSLP. In particular, the antibodies provided herein recognize a human CD127 epitope comprising sequences from the 2b site of CD 127, in particular the epitope comprises human CD127 sequences of domain DI and of the 2b site of CD 127, in particular the epitope comprises at least one sequence from DI and at least one sequence from the 2b site, preferably from the third beta sheet of the 2b site of CD 127. Alternatively, or in addition, in a particularaspect, the antibodies provided herein do not induce the internalization of CD127 and/or inhibit the IL7-induced internalization of CD127. In a particular aspect, the antibodies provided herein are humanized and comprise at least 80 % and preferably at least 84 %, or at least 85 % of human residues. In a particular aspect, the antibodies provided herein hâve a fast effect on effector memory T cells, a long-lasting effect on effector memory T cells, or, preferably, a fast and long-lasting effect on effector memory T cells. In a particular aspect, the antibodies provided herein allow for efficient production. In a particular aspect, the expression levels of CD127, IL-7 and/or TSLP may be measured to assess likelihood of response, in particular using the anti-CD127 antibodies provided herein. In addition to antibodies, provided herein, in particular as tools for the production of antibodies and/or for uses similar to said antibodies, are polypeptides, in particular antibody light chain variable domains or antibody light chains, antigen-binding fragments and antibody mimetic molécules from such antibodies and polynucleotides.
[3] The inventors hâve sought to obtain improved humanized antibodies when compared to the N13B2-hl, N13B2-h2 and N13B2-h3 antibodies disclosed in WO 2015/189302. While it is known that some residues in the variable domain framework sequences, including residues in the Vernier zone, canonical residues, residues at the VH/VL interface, etc, are critical in the structure of an antibody and should not be mutated in order to preserve the biochemical and biological activity of an antibody, the inventors hâve suprisingly discovered that some mutations within the light chain variable domain framework sequence of N13B2, including some of such critical residues, allow increasing human residue content (higher than N13B2-h3 and up to 86,3%) and improved production (up to 4 times higher thanN13B2-h3) while preserving ail the functional features.
[4] These mutations consist of 16 aminoacids substitutions within the light chain variable domain framework sequence ofN13B2 and in particular additionnaly in the substitution of the valine residue at position 48 by a leucine residue (V48L) and/or in the substitution of the phenylalanine residue at position 87 by a tyrosine residue (F87Y). These positions, and any amino acid positions with antibody chains provided herein, unless otherwise stated, are provided using Kabat numbering. Provided herein are the improved antibody light chain variable domains consisting of the following sequences:
- SEQ ID No: 9 (including said 16 aminoacids substitutions - said antibody light chain variable domain being hereinafter designated N13B2-hVL3);
- SEQ ID No: 10 (including said 16 aminoacids substitutions and additionnaly with mutation V48L - said antibody light chain variable domain being hereinafter designated N13B2-hVL4);
- SEQ ID No: 11 (including said 16 aminoacids substitutions and additionaly with mutation F87Y - said antibody light chain variable domain being hereinafter designated N13B2-hVL5); and
- SEQ ID No: 12 (including said 16 aminoacids substitutions and additionnaly with both mutations V48L and F87Y - said antibody light chain variable domain being hereinafter designated N13B2-hVL6).
[5] Thus, the antibody light chain variable domain designated herein N 13B2-hVL3, comprises the CDRs of N13B2-h3, said 16 aminoacids substitutions and the original residues of N13B2 at critical positions 48 and 87 (i.e., respectively, V and F) within human framework sequences and has the sequence of SEQ ID No: 9. The light chain variable domain of the preferred improved antibody provided herein, designated N13B2-hVL6, comprising in addition both mutations V48L and F87Y, consists of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID No: 12.
[6] The skilled person would not hâve expected that said mutations, particularly at such positions in the frameworks of the light chain variable domain would leave the afïïnity of the antibody with CD 127 unaffected: V48 is a canonical residue and F87 is located at the VH/VL interface; the mutation of such residues, as is known to the skilled person and discussed in e.g. Clark, 2014, is expected to affect affmity and/or stabiliy of the antibody. As used herein, the term canonical residue refers to a residue in a CDR or framework that defines a particular canonical CDR structure as defined by Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 196:901- 907 (1987); Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 227:799 (1992). According to Chothia et al., critical portions ofthe CDRs of many antibodies hâve nearly identical peptide backbone conformations despite great diversity at the level of amino acid sequence. Each canonical structure spécifiés primarily a set of peptide backbone torsion angles for a contiguous segment of amino acid residues forming a loop. It was not foreseeable that the introduction of the disclosed mutations at both positions would resuit in improved production, while still preserving binding features and advantageously other functional features of the antibodies.

Detailed description of the invention
Biochemistry
[14] CD 127 is common to the 1L-7 receptor (IL-7R) and to the TSLP receptor (TSLPR). The 1L-7R is constituted of a heterodimer of CD127 and the common gamma chain (yc) of interleukin receptors. The common gamma chain yc is sometime referred to herein and in the literature as CD132. IL-7R is bound by Interleukin 7. The TSLP receptor is a heterodimer of CD 127 and cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2). The TSLP receptor is bound by TSLP. In the literature, TSLPR is sometimes used to designate both the CRLF2 chain of the receptor, and the CD127/CRLF2 complex. In order to avoid confusion, in what follows TSLPR usually désignâtes the complex.
[15] CD 127 (Swiss Prot accession number PI6871 ) may exist in four isoforms. The canonical isoform, also termed H20 (Swiss Prot P16871 .1 ) is a single-pass transmembrane protein and has 459 amino acids consisting, from N- to C-terminal, of a 20 amino-acid signal peptide, a 219 amino acid extracellular domain, a 25 amino-acid transmembrane domain and a 195 amino-acid intracellular domain. Other isoforms share the sequence of ail of (or most of) the extracellular domain of H20 and display varied C-terminal sequences. Isoforms 2 and 4 are secreted (Swiss Prot P16871 -4 and P16871 -3), while isoform 3 (Swiss Prot P16871-2) is also a transmembrane protein. CD127 is reported to hâve the sequence of SEQ ID No: 21, and its extracellular domain, when the signal peptide is removed, has the sequence of SEQ ID No: 22. Unless otherwise stated, the numbering used herein for amino acids of CD127 is the numbering from SEQ ID No: 22.
[16] CD127 is a Cytokine Receptor Homology class 1 (CRH 1) receptor. As is well known in the art, the extracellular domain of these receptors consists of two fibronectin 3 domains, termed DI and D2. The précisé crystallographic structure ofCD127 has been published and discussed in e.g. McElroy et al., 2009; McElroy et al., 2012 and Walsh, 2012 and in particular has been disclosed as protein structure data in the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) database, with the accession number 3UP1. DI is generally considered to be involved in the binding with 1L-7, while D2 is involved in the binding to the yc chain (and also with 1L-7). Importantly, the site 2b of domain D2 comprises three beta sheets including the following sequences SEQ ID No. 32 (FDLSVIYRE); SEQ ID No: 33 (NDFWTFNTS) and SEQ ID No: 34 (TKLTLLQR). The site 2b of domain D2 is therefore included between amino acids 109 and 180 ofSEQ IDNo: 22(see Walsh, 2012; Verstraete, K. et al., Nature Com 2017). The site 2b of domain D2 may also be defined as being included between amino acids 109 and 173 of SEQ ID No. 22. The site 2b of domain D2 may also be defined as being included between amino acids 113 and 180 ofSEQ ID No. 22. The site 2b of domain 2b may also be defined as being inlcuded between amino acids 113 and 173 of SEQ ID No. 22. Particularly, the site 2b of domain D2 comprises, in particular consists essentially of, amino acids 109 to 133 of SEQ ID No: 22, in particular 109 to 127, wherein the first two beta sheets are localized; and amino acids 166 to 180 of SEQ ID No: 22, wherein the third beta sheet is localized. More particularly, the 2b site consists essentially of amino acids 113 to 133, in particular 113 to 127, of SEQ ID No: 22 and of amino acids 166 to 180 of SEQ ID No: 22. More particularly, the 2b site consists essentially of amino acids 109 to 133, in particular 109 to 127, of SEQ ID No: 22 and of amino acids 166 to 173 of SEQ ID No: 22. More particularly, the 2b site consists essentially of amino acids 113 to 133, in particular 113 to 127, of SEQ ID No: 22 and of amino acids 166 to 173 of SEQ ID No: 22. The site 2b of domain D2 is critical for the CD127-yc interaction, in particular to allow or increase binding of CD127 with yc in the presence of 1L7. In particular, mutations at PI 12 and L115, which hâve been identified in patients suffering from Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), are thought to destabilize the hydrophobie core of the D2 domain which likely results in their pathogenic feature. As said above, the 2b site consists essentially of amino acids 109 to 180 of SEQ ID No: 22, or consists essentially of amino acids 109 to 173 of SEQ ID No. 22, or consists essentially of amino acids 113 to 180 of SEQ ID No. 22, or consists essentially of amino acids 113 to 173 of SEQ ID No. 22. The skilled person will appreciate that the extremities of such a domain may not necessarily be defined unambiguously with a single-base précision and that the 2b site may be understood to comprise, at either or both ends of the mentioned sequence(s), 1,2, or 3 more or less amino acids. Therefore, when referring herein to the 2b site of CD127, this should be understood to refer to a sequence of CD127 starting at position 106, 107,108,109,110,111,112 or 113 and endingat position 173, 174, 175,176, 177, 178, 179 orl80 ofSEQ IDNo: 22; in particularto such a sequence which is thought or shown to constitute an essential binding site with the yc chain of the 1L7R, in particular in the presence of IL-7. More particularly, when referring herein to the 2b site of CD127, this should be understood to refer to a sequence of CD127 starting at position 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112 or 113 and ending at position 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132 or 133 of SEQ ID No: 22, but also to a sequence of CD 127 starting at position 162, 163, 164, 165 or 166 and ending at position 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179 or 180 ofSEQ ID No: 22. It should be noted that the three beta sheets as defined herein may comprise epitope sequences spécifie for antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or antigen-biding mimetic according to the invention. Antibodies, antigen-binding fragments and antigen-binding mimetics according to the invention may be able to specifically bind to SEQ ID No: 32, SEQ ID No: 33 and/or SEQ ID No: 34. Furthermore, an amino acid sequence comprising at least a portion of one beta sheet and some contiguous amino acids localized at one end of any beta sheet may also be an epitope sequence spécifie for an antibody according to the invention. As an example, the sequence SEQ ID No: 35 (TLLQRKLQPAAMYEI) comprises the last five amino acids ofthe third beta sheet and ten extra amino acids localized outside the third beta sheet. As another example, the SEQ ID No. 96 (RKLQPAAM) comprises one amino acid localized within the third beta sheet and seven extra amino acids localized outside the third beta sheet. In particular, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof or antigen-binding mimetic according to the invention may specifically bind to RI 73 of SEQ ID No: 22. In particular, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof or antigen-binding mimetic according to the invention may specifically bind to at least one sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No: 32; SEQ ID No: 33; SEQ ID No: 34, SEQ ID No. 35 and SEQ ID No. 96.

Altematively or complementarily, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof or antigen-binding mimetic according to the invention may specifically bind to at least one sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No: 39 (KKFLL1G); SEQ ID No: 40 (KKFLL1GKSN1) and SEQ IDNo: 41 (FIETKKFLL1G). SEQ IDNo: 36 to SEQ IDNo: 41 are localized within the domain DI of CD127 and are epitope sequences recognized by an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof or an antibody mimetic molécule according to the invention. In an alternative or complementary embodiment of the invention, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof or an antibody mimetic molécule according to the invention may specifically bind to at least one sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No: 42 (CLNFR) and SEQ ID No: 43 (FIETKKF).

[17] 1L-7R signalling. Binding of 1L-7 to lL-7Rtriggers the activation of several signalling pathways, including the Janus kinases (JAK) -1 and -3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) and phosphatidylinostol 3-kinase (PI3-k). STAT1 and STAT3 pathways are reported to be activated, although they do not seem to be the main pathways. The activation of the STAT5 pathway is required 30 for the induction of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and the prévention of the entry of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in the mitochondrion and thus for survival of thymie developing T cell precursors. The activation of the PI3-k pathway results in the phosphorylation and cytoplasmic rétention of the proapoptotic protein B ad.
[18] TSLPR signalling. Thymie Stromal Lymphopoietin, (TSLP) is an épithélial Cell Cytokine that 35 is active in lymphopoiesis and in particular is involved in régulation of development of cells of the immune System, said régulation impacting in particular the maturation of said cells. Human TSLP (Genbank accession number AF338732) is a factor which exerts polarization of dendritic cells and promotes T and B cell prolifération and différentiation. TSLP also suppresses the génération of Treg cells (Lei et al., 2011 ).
[19] TSLP-induced signaling pathways hâve been shown to be different, at the molecular level, from IL-7-induced pathways. In particular, while TSLP binding to its receptor also activâtes Jak-1 , it does not activate Jak-3 but does activate Jak-2. These différences are consistent with the observation that Jak1 associâtes with CD127, shared by both receptors while Jak-2 associâtes with CRLF2 and Jak-3 with yc (Rochman et al., 2010). The activation of the STAT5 pathway is also reported for TSLP-induced signaling (Zhong et al., 2014). One major effect of TSLP is to lead to the activation of dendritic cells, inducing the overexpression of costimulatory molécules such as CD80, thereby promoting ΊΉ-2 mediated inflammatoiy responses (Reche et al., 2001 ).
Cellular biology
[20] CD127-posititive cells désignâtes cells expressing CD 127 at their cell surface. In most cases, CD127-positive cells express CD127 in a complex forming the IL-7R (lL-7R-positive cells) and / or in a complex forming the TSLPR (TSLPR-positive cells). CD127 is expressed by various cells, including by both memory and naïve T cells. CDI27 is in particular expressed by effector T cells (Teff), including resting and memory T cells, and by immature B cells, but is especially not expressed by resting natural regulatoiy T cells (natural Treg). CD 127 is essentiel for promoting thymocyte différenciation and clonal expansion of lymphocytes.
[21 ] The importance of the IL7-CD127 pathway for naïve T-cell homeostasis is underlined by several recent studies showingthat expression levels of membrane-bound CD127 on conventional CD4+ T cells correlate with frequencies of recent thymie émigrant (RTE)-CD4+ T cells in healthy individuals and HIV-infected patients as well as in patients with MS (Albuquerque et al., 2007) (Broux et al., 2010). CD127 is also a component of the TSLP receptor. The sécrétion of TSLP by Hassall's corpuscles, structures composed of épithélial cells in the thymie medulla, has been demonstrated to condition CD 11 c+myeloid dendritic cells (MDCs) to induce the différentiation of thymocytes into Treg ( Watanabe et al., 2005a). Accordingly, signais from the IL-7 receptor are required for Treg development as shown in CD 127 knockout mice (Mazzucchelli et al., 2008). In (Haas et al., 2011), the authors showed a reduced CD 127 expression on conventional T cells and upregulated IL-7 plasma levels together with réduction of recent thymie emigrant-Treg frequencies and Treg function in MS, without clear genetic influence (Haas et al., 2011).
[22] Dissecting how IL-7 régulâtes its cognate receptor membrane trafficking is crucial to the indepth understanding of the rôle of IL-7/IL-7R in lymphocyte function. Previous studies hâve suggested that IL-7 stimulation of T cells leads to surface down-modulation of CD127 within 30 minutes, possibly because of receptor intemalization. At later time points (2-6 hours), 1L-7 was shown to induce transcriptional down-regulation of CD127. However, the actual dynamics of CD127 intemalization and therégulation oftrafifickingmechanisms by 1L-7remaintobeelucidated(Henriquesétal.,2010). It was also suggested that lL-7-induced signaling is dépendent on CD 127 intemalization and that subséquent receptor dégradation relies on JAK3 activity and is mediated by both protéasomes and lysosomes.
Physiopathology
[23] Dendritic cells express high levels of costimulatoiy molécules after maturation, such as CD80, which promûtes T cell mediated immune responses. They also produce the cytokine TARC (CCL17), which induces chemotaxis in T cells. As such, mature dendritic cells contribute to the physiopathology of several immune-mediated diseases where T cell responses are at play, as for example in asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, multiple sclerosis and uveitis. Mature dendritic cells also play a key rôle in the rejection process of cells, tissues or organ allografts. Therefore, many therapeutic strategies aim at preventing dendritic cells maturation.
[24] The presence or absence of costimulatory molécules on antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells signifïcantly influences the qualitative and quantitative nature of an immune response. Overexpression of CD80 by dendritic cells causes DC maturation and increases memory T cell activation (Bour-Jordan et al., 2011). Mechanistically, interaction of CD28 with CD80 occupies the central cluster of the immunological synapse and is colocalized with the engaged TCR, thereby stabilizing the immune synapse (Dustin and Shaw, 1999) (Grakoui et al., 1999). The interaction between CD28 and CD80 actually generates the appropriate spacing for TCR to effîciently interact with HLA molécules (Shaw and Dustin, 1997).
[25] Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The appearance of demyelinating patches in the CNS of patients with MS is associated with an inflammatory infiltrate mainly composed of macrophages and T lymphocytes. On a mechanistic level, the MS is considered as an autoimmune disease. MS is typically considered as a disease primarily mediated by CD4 + T cells. Particular subsets of CD4 +: Thl and more recently Thl7, were implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease. At présent, it is still difficult to assign spécifie rôles to each subpopulation Thl and Th 17. Furthermore, inhibition of leucocyte trafïicking by antagonism of the alpha4 (a4)-integrin has now been validated as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as MS and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and as well for the treatment of atherosclerosis (Zhi et al., 2014). α4β7 is expressed on a more restricted set of leucocytes including activated macrophage, subsets of lymphocytes, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils.
[26] Human IL-7 induces strong expression of a4 and β7 integrins in vitro on human T lymphocytes and dramatically increases the frequency of human T lymphocytes expressing α4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins, which are required for T lymphocytes homing and rétention in non-lymphoid tissues such as intestine, brain and skin (Denucci et al., 2009; Gorfu et al., 2009).
[27] Naïve T cells are partly responsible for acute rejection of transplanted organs and tissues. These cells can be controlled by current immunosuppressive drugs (calcineurin inhibitors) and by monoclonal antibodies that block costimulation (anti-adhesion, CD80/86 inhibitors). Memory T cells are also responsible for transplant rejection. Memory T cells accumulate in man due to the acquired immune history, mainly former reactions against viruses. It has been shown that memory T cells can be reactivated by alloantigens as a resuit of “heterologous immunity”, which is the cross-reaction of our anti-viral defenses with alloantigens (Adams et al., 2003). Heterologous immunity represents a potent barrier to tolérance induction since memory T cells, in contrast to naïve T cells, are programmed to activate quickly, with a reduced requirement for costimulatory signais. Memory T cells may also be involved in chronic rejection. Beside their rôle in organ and tissue transplantation, naïve and memory T cells are also co-responsible for many autoimmune diseases. This is the case for ulcerative colitis (Shinohara et al., 2011), rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis or graft-versus-host disease.
[28] Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), are chronic relapsing gastrointestinal disorders characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, dysregulated immune responses to intestinal microbiota and dysfunction of the épithélial barrier (Khor et at., 2011; Abraham and Cho, 2009). The incidence and prevalence rates of IBD are increasing worldwide and these diseases are associated with marked morbidity and hâve a major impact on quality of life and ability to work (Danese and Fiocchi, 2011; Baumgart and Sandbom, 2012). Current conventional treatments aim at dampening inflammation with the graduai use of anti-inflammatory agents, immunosuppressive drugs and biological agents targeting înflammatoiy cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa). A key feature of IBD is also the rapid recruitment and prolonged persistence of leukocytes at the site of inflammation, which is permitted by integrins interaction Tvith cognate receptors expressed by endothélial cells allowing cell adhesion and transmigration (Adams and Eksteen, 2006; Agace, 2006). Emerging thérapies are targeting this entry-door to the gut with antiadhesion molécules, specially targeting the gut-specific α4β7 integrins pathway (Feagan et al., 2013; Sandbom et al., 2013)7·8. However, these thérapies do not maintain remission in more than half of patients, relapsing flares occurring in a high proportion of primary responders. Opportunistic infections also develop as conséquence of general immunosuppression. Thus, one major goal is to provide novel treatments for IBD and to identily markers which détermines the chronicity, response and relapse of IBD.
[29] Furthermore, several malignant cells hâve been shown to display IL-7R. This is the case for Sezary cutaneous lymphoma (60% of them), or childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in which about 15% of the cases develop gain-of-function mutation in CD 127, rendering these tumors partially IL-7 dépendent (Shochat et al., 2011).
[30] The déplétion of T lymphocytes has been an obvious immunosuppressive approach to counteract allograft rejection or fight autoimmunity. However, total T cell déplétion might not be favorable for the induction of immunological tolérance. Targeting T cell subpopulations or selectively activated T cells, without modifying Treg cells, could constitute a pro-tolerogenic approach (Haudebourg et al., 2009). CD 127 may thus be regarded as a potential attractive therapeutic target for monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) aimed at modulating immune responses since such monoclonal antibodies could hâve the potential of depleting effector but not regulatory lymphocytes. It has been assumed accordingly that they might show efficacy in transplantation, autoimmunity (Michel et al., 2008) and malignancies by antagonizing access of 1L-7 to IL-7-R and thereby limiting T and B cell fonction and growth.
[31] A therapy with a monoclonal antibody against CD127+ cells that interfères with the 1L-7 pathway could fulfili that goal by eiiminating/neutraiizing naïve and memory T cells and/or reducing their number while preserving Treg cells or by eliminating or reducing the number of CD127-positive malignant cells. A therapy with a monoclonal antibody against CD127+ cells might however act as a double edge sword if it leads to dendritic cells activation. Indeed, CD 127 is also expressed by dendritic cells in association with CRLF2, forming the TSLP receptor. in the presence of TSLP, dendritic cells get activated and promote T cell-mediated immune responses. Some monoclonal antibodies against CD127, presumably by modifying the way TSLP interacts with TSLP receptor, hâve the property to increase the maturation of dendritic cells înduced by TSLP. As a conséquence, a therapy with a monoclonal antibody against CD127 that would not increase the maturation of dendritic cells induced by TSLP would présent a therapeutic advantage. It would présent the benefit of IL7R blockade without the drawback of activating dendritic cells in an inflamed environment containing TSLP.
[32] In a publication (Racapé et al., 2009) the authors analysed the interest ofIL-7 receptor alpha (IL7Ra) as a potential therapeutic target in transplantation. Having reviewed the expression of IL-7Ra on varions T cells and IL-7 responsive cells, the authors determined whether targeting memory T cells expressing IL-7Ra could prolong allograft survival in mice and conclude that targeting IL-7 or IL-7Ra would advantageously spare Treg cells. Among the perspectives, the authors pointed out that targeting either IL-7 or IL-7Ra in therapeutic treatment might hâve different conséquences on the survival of the cells expressing CD 127 and might elicit different types of lymphopenia. The question of the effects of antibodies that would be directed against IL-7Ra depending upon whether they would be blocking or neutralizing or cytotoxic antibodies was also posed from a conceptual point of view. The authors nevertheless did not show having obtained and assayed such antibodies and rather expressed the need for further study to assess the relevancy of the hypothesis.
[33] In view of the drawbacks of available therapeutic approaches in immune reiated diseases and other diseases involving the IL-7/IL-7Ra such as different types of cancers, including some breast cancers, there is still a need for further drug candidates, especially for candidates active with respect to more sélective targets for the purpose of controlling e.g. modulating immune activation in human patients.
[34] In this context, monoclonal antibodies against IL-7Ra having antagonist properties toward IL7Ra hâve been disclosed in WO2010/017468 and their humanized versions in WO2011/094259 with a view to treat autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. The described antibodies are said to be antagonist for IL-7 binding to its receptor, and active against Th17 and ThI cells expansion and survival which were said to require IL-7 interaction with their CD 127 receptor. The effect of these antibodies on the maturation of immune cells, and particularly of dendritic cells, has not been considered. Besides, these antibodies are said not to inhibit TSLP-induced production of TARC (p. 107 of WO2011/094259). Similarly, anti-CD127 antibodies reported in WO2011/104687 or in WO2013/056984, which are contemplated for use in the treatment of diabètes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, hâve not been discussed with respect to their possible effect on the maturation of dendritic cells and their interaction with TSLP-induced signaling has not been reported. In addition, as published by Kern et al (Kern et al., 2013; Kern et al., 2015) and as shown herein, the anti-CD127 antibodies of the prior art induce intemalization of the receptor. Since antagonist anti-CD127 antibodies that also induce intemalization of CD127 fait to control cutaneous type IV hypersensitivity, whereas antagonist antiCD 127 antibodies that do not induce intemalization do, it might be that the intemalization process activâtes the signaling pathway, mitigating the antagonist effect of the antibodies. Last, the antibodies of the prior art recognize an epitope which does not comprise any sequence from the 2b site of CD127 (i.e. in particular from amino acids 109-180 of SEQ ID No:22, or in particular from amino acids 109173 of SEQ ID No. 22, or in particular from amino acids 113-180 of SEQ ID No. 22, or in particular from amino acids 113-173 of SEQ ID No. 22); and hâve not been shown to disrupt the binding of CD127 with the yc chain of the IL7-R.
[35] Despite recent interest in the development of CD127 antibodies, efforts hâve thus concentrated on the inhibition of lL7-induced 1L-7R signalling. Nonetheless, TSLP and the TSLPR hâve been involved in a number of pathologies. TSLP has been shown to play a rôle in skin and lung diseases (He and Geha, 2010) and to associate to various pathologies including airway inflammatory disease and atopie dermatitis in human and mice (Ying et al., 2008) (Jariwala et al., 2011). In addition TSLP has been shown to associate to régulation of intestinal immunity and inflammation (Taylor et al., 2009). Other pathologies involving TSLP and the TSLPR include pédiatrie B-cell leukemia (van Bodegom et al., 2012), lung- and skin- spécifie allergie disorders, autoimmunity-related diseases (Roan et al., 2012) and cancer, including breast cancer (Olkhanud et al., 2011).
[36] Antibodies that do not display the effect of increasing the maturation of dendritic cells and/or that do not induce intemalization of CD127 and/or that inhibit IL7-induced intemalization were disclosed in WO 2015/189302. Said antibodies,termedN13B2(chimericantibody),N13B2-hl,N13B2h2 and N13B2-h3 (humanized N13B2) in said application and hereinafter, hâve high efficiency, especially in vivo and in particular were shown to hâve a fast effect on effector memory T cells, as defined hereinafter. However, said antibodies are humanized to a limited extent and their production efïïciency is also limited. Moreover, no long-lasting effect of said antibodies on effector memory T cells has been reported.
[37] The invention relates to tools for the design of novel antibodies suitable as therapeutic candidates for the administration to patients with or at risk of a disease involving 1L-7 signaling pathways. According to various approaches provided herein, such tools improve préparation of antibodies intended for administration to human hosts. Such tools comprise in particular humanized, particularly monoclonal, antibodies which comprise ail the CDRs sequences ofN13B2-h3.
[38] Such polypeptides (or polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides) are provided in particular for the production of antibodies (or antigen-binding fragments thereof) and/or as antibodies (or antigenbinding fragments thereof), particularly which specifically binds to CD127; said antibodies, in particular monoclonal antibodies, comprise a heavy chain variable domain comprising the three CDRs sequences VHCDR1 set forth in SEQ ID No: 1, VHCDR2 set forth in SEQ ID No: 2 and VHCDR3 set forth in SEQ ID No: 3.

[39] The antibodies provided herein are preferably monoclonal antibodies, meaning that a composition of these antibodies is homogeneous, especially identical, in tenus of antigen-binding specificity and accordingly in terms of variable région composition.
[40] The invention provides antibodies which share the CDRs of the N 13B2-h3 antibody but hâve a distinct light chain variable domain framework. The inventors hâve surprisingly shown that antibodies comprising the same CDRs of the light chain variable domain of N13B2-h3, i.e. the CDRs with SEQ ID No: 4 and 5 and 6 but comprising a different light chain variable domain sequence, i.e. of SEQ ID No: 9; of SEQ ID No: 10; of SEQ ID No: 11 or of SEQ ID No: 12; while humanized extensively, are highly produced compared to N 13B2-h3 (up to 4 times higher), while preserving ail the functional features.
[41] The invention provides means suitable in this context, comprising in particular spécifie monoclonal antibodies against IL-7Ra. In particular embodiments, said antibodies interfère only negatively with the TSLP pathway. Accordingly, in preferred embodiments said antibodies do not increase TSLP-induced dendriticcell maturation. In addition oraltematively, in particular embodiments, said antibodies do not induce intemalization of CD 127. and/or inhibit lL7-induced internalization of CD 127. In particular embodiments, said antibodies combine these DC maturation- and/or intemalization-related properties with antagonist activity toward IL-7/IL-7-R signalling. In particular embodiments, said antibodies inhibit lL7-induced expression of α4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins in T cells, in particular in vivo. In particular embodiments, said antibodies exert a cytotoxic action against target
CD127+ cells that physically reduce their number (contraction of the subpopulation). In addition or alternatively, in particular embodiments said antibodies comprise at least 80 %, preferably at least 84 %, or more than 84 % and even more preferably at least 85 % of human residues as defined hereinafter. In addition or alternatively, in particular embodiments said antibodies are produced at least as efficiently as N13B2-h3, preferably at least twice as efficiently, as defined hereinafter. In addition or alternatively, in particular embodiments said antibodies hâve rapid and/or a long-lasting effect on effector memory T cells.
[42] In particular, the antibodies provided herein comprise a variable heavy (VH) chain comprising the following amino acid sequences:

V HCDR3 SEQ ID No: 3.
The antibodies provided herein preferably comprise a VH chain consisting of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID No: 7:
QVQLVESGGGLVKPGGSLRLSCAVSGFTLSDYYMAWIRQAPGKGLEWVST1SASGLRTYYPD SVKGRFTISRDNAKNSLYLQMNSLRAEDTAVYYCARPLSAHYGFNYFDYWGQGTLVTVSS. Said variable heavy chain is in particular linked to the constant heavy chain consisting ofthe sequence of SEQ ID No: 26 to constitute a complété antibody heavy chain.
[43] In particular, the antibodies provided herein comprise a VL chain consisting of a sequence selected from the group consisting of the sequence of SEQ ID No: 9, SEQ ID No: 10, the sequence of SEQ IDNo: 11, and the sequence ofSEQ IDNo: 12, in particular the sequence ofSEQ IDNo: 12:

Said variable light chain is in particular linked to the constant light chain consisting of a sequence selected from SEQ ID No: 27 and SEQ ID No: 28, in particular SEQ ID No: 27, to constitute a complété antibody light chain.
In particular, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the invention, specifically binds to CD127, in particular to human CD127 and comprises:
- an antibody light chain comprising or an antibody light chain variable domain consisting of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No: 9; SEQ ID No: 10; SEQ ID No: 11; SEQ ID No: 12; in particular SEQ ID No: 12; and

In a more particular embodiment of the invention, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, specifically binds to CD 127, in particular to human CD 127 and comprises:
- an antibody light chain variable domain or an antibody light chain according to the invention, particularly consisting of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No: 9, SEQ ID No: 10; SEQ ID No: 11 and SEQ ID No: 12, in particular SEQ ID No: 12; and

Binding of CD127
[44] In accordance to the invention, “binding” to the IL-7Ra protein refers to an antigen-antibody type interaction and encompasses “spécifie binding” properties of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof which spécifie binding means that the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments bind to the IL-7Ra protein while they do not bind or bind with a significantly weaker affinity to other proteins (e.g. the common cytokine receptor γ-chain). Spécifie binding is preferably defined and/or determined in physiological conditions, especially in terms of pH and sait content of the testing solution. Binding and binding specifïcity can be assayed in accordance with the tests disclosed in the Examples and in particular can be assayed by biosensor, Blitz, Biacore, ELISA, or Western Blot analysis.
[45] In particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein target and bind theIL-7-R alpha chain when it is complexed in the TSLP-Receptor (with CCRF2; Genbank accession Number AF338733; Reche et al., 2001). In particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein bind to CD 127 as an isolated protein with an affinity constant (KD) equal to or lower than 5E-9 M, as may be determined by biosensor analysis, in particular by Blitz method. In particular embodiments, the binding properties of the antibodies are determined or defined using an antigen of human CD 127 comprising the sequences of epl (SEQ ID No: 19) and/or ep2 (SEQ ID No: 20). In particular embodiments, the antigen comprises a fragment of human CD127 comprising both epl and ep2 (i.e. the antigen comprises the sequences of epl and ep2 and the intercalated sequences of human CD127). In particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein hâve at least the same affinity to said antigen as the N13B2-h3 antibody disclosed in WO 2015/189302, and/or as the N13B2-hVL6 antibody disclosed herein (with the VH having the sequence of SEQ ID No: 7 and the VL having the sequence of SEQ ID No: 12) and/or as the antibody with the VH having the sequence of SEQ ID No: 7 and the VL with the sequence of SEQ ID No: 10 or with the sequence of SEQ ID No: 11.
[46] Methods to test for the binding of the antibodies to their target, either full-length CD 127, isolated or as the TSLPR or IL7R, or an antigen thereof as above, comprising in particular the Blitz method, are known to the skilled person and are illustrated in particular in Figure 3, Example 3 and Example 4 herein and in p. 14, Figures 3,4 and 6 and the respective legends, and Examples 1,2,6,7 of WO 2015/189302.
Absence of increased TSLP-induced dendritic cell maturation
[47] The antibodies provided herein may bind CD127 in the TSLP receptor (i.e. may bind CD127 when it is in a complex with the CRLF2, forming the TSLP receptor). Therefore, the antibodies provided herein may interfère with TSLP-induced and / or TSLP receptor-mediated signaling. Preferably, the antibodies provided herein do not synergize with TSLP for the maturation of immune cells, in particular dendritic cells. In otherwords, the antibodies of the invention do not increase the maturation of immune cells induced by TSLP.
[48] This effect is particularly desired on the maturation of dendritic cells. The means to measure such effect are known to the skilled person and are disclosed in particular in WO 2015/189302 at pages 16-17 and in Example 9 thereof In particular, the antibodies provided herein do not increase expression of CD40 by more than 50% when compared to stimulation with TSLP alone (without antibody). Preferably, the expression of CD40 is not increased by more than 25 %, preferably not by more than 10 % and even more preferably not by more than 5%. In particularly preferred embodiments, the expression of CD40 is not increased or is decreased in cells stimulated with TSLP and with said antibodies when compared to cells stimulated with TSLP alone.
Inhibition of IL7-induced expression of α4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins
[49] In particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein inhibit IL7-induced expression of a4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins in vitro. IL7-induced expression of α4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins, as used herein, désignâtes either or both the increase in the level of expression of a4 and β7 integrins and the increase in the number or ratio of T lymphocytes expressing α4, β7 and/or α4/β7 integrins. The inhibition may be partial, i.e. the level of expression of α4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins in the presence of IL7 is increased over baseline level (i.e. the level with neither antibody nor IL7) in the presence of antibodies, but less than in the absence of antibodies; or the inhibition may be complété, i.e. the level of expression of a4, β7 and α4/β7 integrins in the presence of 1L7 and of the antibody is no higher than baseline level.
[50] In particular embodiments, the antibodies provided herein inhibit expression of α4, β7 and/or α4/β7 integrins in vitro, i.e. the level of expression of α4, β7 and/or α4/β7 integrins is lower in cells treated with antibodies (and with and/or without 1L7) than in untreated cells (i.e. without antibody or 1L7). The extent of inhibition may be dose-dependent. The inhibition of expression may be more specifically defined, tested and/or measured as set forth in WO 2015/189302 in p. 18, in particular paragraph [58], and in the Example 16.
Inhibitors of CD127 intemalization
[51] In a particular embodiment, the antibodies provided heren inhibit the IL7-induced intemalization of CD 127. Thus, when incubated with said antibodies, the presence of IL7 induces no decrease in the cell surface expression of CD 127, or induces a less strong decrease in the cell surface expression of CD 127 than cells incubated without antibodies. In particular embodiments, when incubated with said antibodies, the level of CD 127 cell surface expression when cells are incubated at 37 °C for 15 minutes with 5 ng/mL 1L7 is at least 80 %, preferably at least 90 % of the cell surface expression level in cells incubated without IL7. In vitro, the cell surface expression is preferably measured after a limited time as indicated above. Besides, as most cellular intemalization processes are inhibited at low température, the effect is usually best observed at physiological température, in particular 37 °C. However, it is also contemplated to incubate cells at low température, in particular 4 °C.
[52] In a preferred embodiment, the antibodies provided herein do not induce the intemalization of CD127. Titus, the cell surface expression of CD127 in cells incubated in the presence of said antibodies is not reduced, or is not signifîcantly reduced, relative to cell surface expression in cells incubated in otherwise identical conditions, but in the absence of the antibody. In particular embodiments, when incubated at 37 °C for 30 to 45 minutes in the presence of 50 ng/mL of antibody, the level of CD 127 cell surface expression is at least 80 %, preferably at least 90 % of its level in cells incubated in the absence of the antibody. This effect may be observed in the absence of IL7 (in both antibody-treated and —untreated cells), in the presence of IL7, and/or both.
[53] The two CD 127 intemalization-related feature described above (i.e. inhibition of IL7-induced intemalization or non-induction of intemalization) may be further defined and/or tested as set forth in WO2015/189302 in particluar in paragraphe [59]-[63] at pages 19-20 and in Figure 16 and Example 5.
Disruption of CD127 -yc chain interaction
[54] According to a particular embodiment, the antibodies provided herein may disrupt the binding of CD 127 to the yc chain of the IL7-R. This means that, under conditions (in particular Chemical and physical conditions) where CD127 and yc chain are bound together in the absence of antibody, and in particular in the presence of IL7, the presence of said antibodies signifîcantly reduces said bond. In particular embodiments, in the presence of antibody and of IL7, CD 127 does not bind to yc. In particular, in the presence of the antibody and of 1L7, the amount of yc chain found associated with (or bound to) CD 127 is less than 80 %, preferably less than 50 %, even more preferably less than 25 % or 10 % of the amount bound in the absence of the antibody (or in the presence of another anti CD-127 antibody such as MD707-13) in otherwise identical conditions, in particular in the presence of IL7. Such a feature of the antibody may be assessed in particular by co-immunoprecipitation methods, well known to the skilled person for testing the interaction of proteins and illustrated e.g. in WO2015/189302 in Example 21. In particular, cells may be incubated in the presence or absence of the tested antibody, then solubilized in conditions allowing for the préservation of protein complexes, and the resulting lysate may bc subjccted to an anti-CD 127 immunoprécipitation and the presence ofyc in the CD127-containing immunoprecipitated complex assessed by western blotting using anti-yc antibodies (conversely, the immunoprécipitation may be performed using anti-yc antibodies and the presence of CD 127 assessed using anti-CD 127 antibodies).
Antagonist towards IL7-IL7-R interaction
[55] According to a particular embodiment, a macromolecule, in particular an antibody or antigenbinding fragment thereof, of the invention further has antagonist properties toward interleukin 7 (IL7) thereby antagonizing access, i.e. binding of 1L7 to CD127 on CD127 positive cells.
[56] “Antagonist properties towards IL7-IL7-R interaction” means that antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the invention, which target the IL7-Ralpha, hâve the effect of preventing the accessibility of the IL7 receptor expressed on CD 127 cells, especially human effector T cells, in particular human memory T cells, for its binding partner IL7, especially human IL7. As a resuit of antagonizing binding of 1L7, the antibodies of the invention or their functional fragments lead to lymphopenia by preventing IL7-dependent thymie T cells génération.
[57] Tire antagonist properties may be in particular antagonism toward IL7-R signaling induced by IL7. An antagonist of IL7-R signaling induced by IL7 can be identified by measuring the inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation as described in the Examples. The IL7-induced phosphorylation of STAT5 is amarker of IL7-R activation and an antibody antagonizing IL7-IL7-R interaction is expected to decrease IL7-induced phosphorylation of STAT5.
[58] In particular embodiments, the macromolecule of the invention is an antagonist of IL7-R signaling induced by IL7. In a particular embodiment, the macromolecule of the invention inhibits 1L7induced phosphorylation of STAT5. In preferred embodiments, the inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation is greater than 50 % at antibody concentrations as low as 55 ng/ml and / or the inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation is greater than 80 % at antibody concentrations as low as 100 ng/ml. Inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation may be assessed by methods known to the skilled person and in particular by the method set forth in the examples section, in particular in Example 5, and/or in page 21, paragraphs [69] and [70] and Example 3 of WO2015/189302.
[59] 1s is also désirable that the macromolecule of the invention (in particular antibody, antigenbinding fragment thereof or antibody mimetic molécule) inhibits the activation and/or does not activate or increase the activation, of the PI3-k and/or ERK (Extracellular signal-regulated kinase) signalling pathways and in particular inhibits the phosphorylation and/or does not induce or increase the phosphorylation of PI3-k and/or ERK 1 and/or ERK 2. In particular, the antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof or antibody mimetic molécule provided herein, and in particular such antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof or antibody mimetic molécule that is an antagonist towards IL-7 — IL7R interaction, does not induce the activation of the PI3-k and/or the ERK pathways (preferably of the PI3-k and the ERK pathway), and in particular does not induce the phosphorylation of PI3-k and/or of ERK 1 and/or ERK 2, more particularly does not induce the phosphorylation of PI3-k and of ERK 1 and of ERK 2. In particular, the antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof or antibody mimetic molécule provided herein, and in particular such an antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof or antibody mimetic molécule that is an antagonist towards IL-7 — IL-7R interaction, inhibits tire activation of the P13-k and/or the ERK pathways, and in particular inhibits the phosphorylation of P13-k and/or of ERK 1 and/or ERK 2, more particularly inhibits the phosphorylation of PI3-k and of ERK 1 and of ERK 2. The activation of the pathways and/or phosphorylation of said proteins, may be tested by methods known to the skilled person and in particular by Western blotting as illustrated in Figure 7 and Example 8.
Antagonist for binding of TSLP
[60] Since the antibodies provided herein bind CD 127 in the IL7-R, they may also bind CD 127 in the TSLPR and, particularly by steric hindrance and / or by compétition on common binding sites, they may inhibit the binding of TSLP to the TSLPR. In other words, the antibodies provided herein may présent antagonist activity for the binding of TSLP.
Inhibitor of TSLP-induced TARC production
[61] In a particular embodiment, the antibodies provided herein inhibit TSLP-induced TARC production of CDI27-positive cells. As mentioned above, TSLP-stimulated dendritic cells produce elevated levels of TARC. This may resuit from their binding to the TSLPR and their potential action as antagonists of TSLP binding. In a particular embodiment, the antibodies provided herein do not increase the maturation of dendritic cells (maturation being e.g. determined an increased expression of CD40 and/or CD80 cell surface marker).
[62] The level of TSLP-induced TARC production may be lower in cells treated with TSLP together with the anti-CD 127 antibodies prvoided herein than in cells treated with TSLP alone. In other words, the antibodies prvoided herein may be inhibitors of TSLP-induced TARC production. In an embodiment of the invention, the antibodies prvoided herein decrease the levels of TARC production. In a particular embodiment, the level of TARC production in cells treated with TSLP and an antibody provided herein is reduced by more than 10 %, preferably more than 20 %, compared to the level in cells treated with TSLP alone, at antibody concentrations as low as 1 pg/ml. Measurement of TARC production can be carried out on CD127-positive immune cells, in particular dendritric cells, from a blood sample using any standard method known from the skilled person and is illustrated e.g. in WO2015/189302 in Example 9.
Cytotoxic activity
[63] In a particular embodiment, the antibodies provided herein are cytotoxic against human cells, especially human T cells expressing CD127. Human cells expressing CD127 as a chain of 1L7 receptor, which are the target of said antibodies, are mainly T lymphocytes and more precisely are subpopulations of effector T lymphocytes including naïve and memory T cells but are not regulatory T cells (Treg), especially not resting natural Treg. Memory T cells are generated as a resuit of antigen priming and mainly defined by their functional characteristics, including ability to undergo recall prolifération upon re-activation and différentiation into secondary effector and memory cells. Similarly, the targeted TSLP receptor (as a complex including the IL-7-R alpha chain) régulâtes T helper lymphocyte, B cell and dendritic cell différentiation.
[64] In particular, the antibodies provided herein, having “cytotoxic activity against T cells” or cytotoxic properties (cytotoxic antibodies) give rise to déplétion in the effector T cell population by killing these cells and accordingly reduce the number of these cells when administered. Conversely, said antibodies do not alter the subpopulation of regulatory T cells or do not alter it to a significant extent, allowing the Treg cells to perform their function. In this context, in a particular embodiment, the ratio of regulatory T (Treg) versus effector T (Teff) cells raises following administration of said antibodies. In particular, the antibodies provided herein enable to raise said ratio of about 10% or more. In particular, the increase in the ratio of Treg versus Teff is of about 20%.

This feature is generaly expressed herein, as in the littérature, as “antibody A (or the framework sequence of its variable domain) has xx % human residues”, which means that antibody A (or the framework sequence of its variable domain) has xx % of residues which are identical at the same fonctionnai position to the residues of the most homologous known human antibody (or the framework sequence of its variable domain). Such degree of identity may be measured by means known to the skilled person and in particular with the International Immunogenetics Information System (1MGT) DomainGapAIign tool as clarified during open session of WHO INN Expert Group (April 2015).

Wherever such pharmaceutical compositions or their uses are provided herein, it must be understood that the administration vehicle and their uses may also be provided, e.g. when an injectable pharmaceutical composition is provided explicitly, it must be understood that the composition is provided as such as well as in a device or in combination with a device allowing administration and/or injection of said composition (“delivery device”). Examples of delivery devices include but are not limited to autoinjectors, in particular multichamber syringes, and transdermal patchs.

Particularly, the form of the pharmaceutical composition and optionally the nature of the delivery device may be suitable for delivery to the Gl tract, in particular to the colon. The pharmaceutical composition is said to comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; however, pharmaceutical compositions are also provided without a carrier for similar uses and purposes, when such a carrier is not required for pharmaceutical use, e.g. if the product is administered as a pure lyophilized solid.

[84] The inventors hâve surprisingly shown that a single injection of the antibody provided herein allows for sustained effect, and the inflammatory response is still signifîcantly reduced in animais treated by a single injection ofthe provided antibodies as long as 14 months, and even as long as 18 months following said single injection. The administration, and preferably a single administration, of the polypeptide, in particular antibody light chain and more particularly the antibody, antigen-binding fragment or antibody mimetic molécule thereof provided herein, preferably has a fast and/or a longlasting effect on effector memory T cells. A fast effect is observed preferably within a week, and more preferably within 48 hours, and even more preferably within a day of the administration of said polypeptide, antibody chain or antibody. A long-lasting effect is observed preferably at least 12 months, and more preferably at least 14 months after the most recent (and, preferably, the single) administration of said polypeptide, antibody chain or antibody. Such an effet is in particular réversible (in particular T cell response may be restored by new vaccination). Such an effect is preferably antigen and/or responsespecific and ïs preferably not associated with measurable lymphodepletion (i.e. the global number of lymphocytes is not reduced in the subject, as measurey by common methods). Such an effect may otherwise be defined as a clonal délétion of memory T cells, or as a réversible, antigen spécifie délétion of immune T memory. An effect of such adminsitration on effector memory T cells may be assessed by comparing levels of IFN-γ secreting cells (measured e.g. by ELISPOT) in response to an antigen, e.g. tuberculine, in vaccinated subjects (in particular in baboons) which were later treated with the polypeptide, antibody chain or monoclonal antibody provided herein, and in untreated vaccinated subjects: an effect is observed if the measured level of antigen-specific T cells is signifîcantly lower (preferably at least 10 %, more preferably at least 40 % lower) in the treated subjects, at the relevant time point after treatment. Such an effect may also be measured by otherwise assessing inflammatory response to a given antigen, e.g. a local, in particular dermal, inflammatory réaction in response to an locally administered antigen. Alternatively, an MHC tetramer assay may be used. Methods to test for such effect are known to the skilled person and are illustrated herein in particular in Example 6.
[85] In addition, the inventors hâve suprisingly shown that the antibody provided herein may hâve a fast effect, in particular on T-cell activation, in particular on release of cytokines by T-cells, in particular in inflammatory tissue.

Such effect is in particular observed locally, i.e. at the site of administration of the antibody or at the site of delivery. In particular, the antibody provided herein has a fast effect, in particular a fast local effect, in particular on release of cytokines by T-cells, in particular has an effect observed within 24 hours of administration. When the antibody is administered for local delivery but not directly at the site of intended delivery, the antibody may hâve fast effect as above at the site of delivery, within the same time periods from delivery rather than from administration, which may or may not be delayed from administration as the skilled person is aware.

Reaction was stopped a 4°C, and washed with Perm Wash buffer before fixation with Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Bioscience, ref 554722) for 15 min at 4°C. Cells were washed and stained with FITC-labelled anti-CD3 (BD Bioscience, ref 557694) for 30min at 4°C. Then, cells were permeabilized in incubating Perm
Buffer III (BD Bioscience, ref 558050) for 30min at 4°C. Aller vvashing with PBS BSA1% Azide 0.1%, cellq were stained with Alexa-647 labelled anti-pStat5 antibody (BD Bioscience, ref 612599) for 30min at room-temperature. Sam pies were analysed on BD Cantoll cytofluorometer. hPBMC-CD3+ with 1L7 induced phosphorylation of pStat5, whereas, without IL7, we hâve no phosphorylation. Results are reported in Figure 4 and the table below, displaying ED50, i.e. the concentration of the indicated antibody to reach 50% of the signal in this assay.

Table 4. Inhibition ofSTAT5 phosphorylation by antl-CD127 antibodies
This experiment confïrmed that modification of germline and modification of structural residues by humanized amino-acid did not change the biological activity of anti-CD 127 antibody. Ail tested variants (N13B2-h3, N13B2-hVL3, N13B2-hVL4, N13B2-hVL5, N13B2-hVL6) could inhibit Stat5 phosphorylation after 1L7 stimulation on hPBMC, like previously produced reference batches of NI3B2. Focusing on N13B2-hVL6 (the most humanized and the most optimized), we noticed that it was able to maintain its biological activity in inhibiting Stat5 phosphorylation, to the same extent than reference N13B2-h3. Moreover, this variant was very stable after 14 days of incubation at 42°C, 25°C or 4°C, it did not induce aggregate formation, and maintained its binding activity.
Example 6. Effect on memory T cells
Tuberculin-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity model
Baboons were immunized intradermally twice with a bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine (0.1 ml; 2—8 105 CFU; Sanofi Pasteur MSD, Lyon, France) in the upper région of the leg, 4 and 2 weeks before the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin test. Intradermal reactions (1DR) were performed with intradermal injections of2000 or 1000 UI of Tuberculin Purified Protein Dérivative (PPD; Symbiotics Corporation, San Diego, CA). Saline (0.1 ml) was used as a négative control. Dermal responses at the injection sites were measured using a caliper square by at least two observers and were considered positive when > 4 mm in diameter. A second 1DR was performed after a three-week washout period and animais received one intravenous injection of 10 mg/Kg of N13B2 (n = 7) or lOmg/kg (V915GA, AA892BB, 32257, 33874) (n = 4) of humanized N13B2 or équivalent of volume excipient (n = 4). Additional IDR were performed evety month after the injection. After a washing period, some baboons (previously treated with N13B2) were immunized again intradermally twice with a BCG following by a new IDR. The mean of the reading was recorded and plotted for each time point. To compare multiple experimental conditions, eiythema responses were quantified as area under the curve (AUC) using Graph Pad Prism software for calculation (Figure 5A and B).
Eli spot
Ag-specifîc T cell frequency was followed with an IFN-g EL1SPOT assay (non-human primate IFN-g EL1SPOT kit; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) on freshly isolated PBMC restimulated with tuberculin, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Briefly, capture antibody (R&D Systems, catalog number SEL961) was added in each well of a Elispot MultiScreen® HTS Filter Plates (Merck Millipore) and incubate one night at 4°C. After three washes, blocking buffer was added and plate was incubated 2 hours at ambient température. Baboons PBMC were extracted freshly from the blood of baboons by Ficoll gradient centrifugation (GE Healthcare Life Science, Paris, France). Red blood cell was then lyzed and cells washed before reconstitution at appropriate concentration in culture media (TexMacs media supplemented with penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco)) with or not tuberculin purified protein dérivative. Plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 during 18-24 hours. After three washes with wash buffer, détection antibody (R&D Systems, catalog number SEL961) was added and incubated at 4°C during 24 hours. Streptavidin-AP (R&D Systems, catalog number SEL002) was added after three washes and incubated two hours at ambient température during 2 hours. Three washes hâve been done. BCIP/NBT (R&D Systems, catalog number SEL002) hâve been added and put in the dark during 30 minutes. Several washes were necessary with wash buffer and one with deionized water (Figure 5C).
Animais
Baboons (Papio anubis ; 7-14 kg) were obtained from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Centre de Primatologie (Rousset, France). The animais were housed at the large animal facility of the INSERM unit 1064. Animal studies were approved by the French National Ethics Committee.
Results in a first experiment, a first IDR with tuberculin was performed on BCG-vaccinated baboons which did not receive treatment at that time (day -30). After a washing period of one month, a second IDR was performed 4h and eveiy month after i.v. injection of 10 mg/Kg of N13B2 (white bars). A last IDR was performed after a new vaccination with BCG (14 months post- antibody injection). Control animais (black bars) received similar volume of excipient i.v. and were challenged with same protocol. Results showed that anti-lL7Ra chimeric antibody induced a very long-term protection (up to 14 months) after a single administration. Response recovered only after new vaccination.
In another experiment, a first IDR with tuberculin was performed on BCG-vaccinated baboons (dashed bars — e.g. IDR1 for V915GA). After a washing period of one month, a second IDR was performed 4h and every month after i.v. injection of 10 mg/Kg of humanized N13B2 (solid bars - e.g. IDR2-6 for
V915GA). A last IDR was performed after new vaccination with BCG and Tuberculine (dotted bars e.g. 1DR7 for V915GA). Control animais (black bars) received similar volume of excipient i.v. and were challenged with same protocol. Results showed humanized N13B2 induced also a long-term protection after a single administration in 3 out 4 evaluated baboons. “33874” animal was initially responder immédiately after antibody injection but response recovered spontaneously one month later.
Blood PBMC were re-stimulated ex vivo with tuberculin. A first IFNy elispot with or without tuberculin was performed on BCG-vaccinated baboons (dashed bars). A second IFNy elispot was performed 4 days after injection with 10 mg/Kg of humanized N13B2 (fulled bars). New ELISPOT were then performed every month at each new IDR with tuberculin in vivo. A last IFNy elispot was performed after new vaccination with BCG (dotted bars). Results showed that administration of humanized N13B2 induced antigen-specific memory T cells délétion in long-term responder animais. “33874” baboon did not showed signifîcant réduction of tuberculin-specifîc memory T cells in parallel to no long-term protection in DTH model. After new vaccination with BCG, long-term responder animais showed increased frequency of antigen-specific memory T cells which recover to basal level (before mAb injection) and this is associated with recovering of the DTH response in vivo. Altogether, these results demonstrated that long-term protection induced by humanized N13B2 is associated with antigen-specific memory T cells délétion which explaîn the long-term effect of the drug.
Example 7. Expression of IL-7, CD 127 and TSLP in IBD patients
Raw mRNA expression data obtained as detailed in Planell et al. Gut 2013 were analyzed as detailed in the legend to Figure 6.
Example 8. Signaling pathway of human PBMC stimulated with anti-CD127 antibodies plus IL7
IL7 signaling pathways were studied from lysâtes of human PBMC incubated 30 min at 37 °C with 10 pg/ml of soluble anti-human CD127 antibodies, and stimulated with IL7 (AbD Serotec, ref PHP046) at 5 ng/ml for 10 min at 37 °C. Western Blot were performed in reducing conditions with 20 pg protein of cellular lysâtes in 7.5 % polyacrylamide gels and blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (GeHealthcare). Blots were saturated with 5 % BSA-Tris Buffer Saline (TBS) and revealed either with Phospho-Stat5, Phospho-PI3-Kinasep85, Phospho-Akt and Phospho-ERK1/2 antibody (Cell Signalling Technology) at 1/1000 in 1%BSA-TBS (ovemight at 4°C) followed by polyclonal goat anti-rabbit labeled horseradish peroxidase antibody (Cell Signalling Technology) at 1/2000 for 1 h at room température, or with GAPDH antibody (Santa Cruz) at 1/1000 in 1 % BSA-TBS (ovemight at 4 °C) followed by polyclonal goat anti-mouse labeled horseradish peroxidase antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch) at 1/2000 for 1 h at room température. Membranes were revealed by chemiluminescence using LAS-3000 imaging system (Fujifilm). The following anti-human CD 127 antibodies were thus assayed: N13B2-h3 and N13B2-hVL6 (both anti-site l/2b antibodies, disclosed herein); MD707-13-G4 (“anti-sitel antibody”, disclosed in Int. Pat. Appl. WO2013/056984) and 1A11 (disclosed in GSK patent WO2011/094259).
Example 9. Effect on T-cell cytokine release in IBD tissue
Biopsies from patients with IBD can be used as an inflammatory model of disease ex-vivo and hâve been shown here to spontaneously release high levels of proinflammatory cytokines after 24 hours of culture (UC; IFNy, 130± 19 pg/ml; IL-6, 4042 ± 529 pg/ml; IL-8, 25626 ± 1640 pg/ml - CD: IFNy, 180± 38 pg/ml; IL-6, 3653 ± 734 pg/ml; IL-8, 15540 ± 2452 pg/ml [means ±sem for UC and CD respectively]).
Anti-CD127 mAb was applied at 10 pg/ml in this organ culture assay using surgical specimens taken from inflamed colonie mucosa of 20 patients with IBD (10 with Crohn's disease and 10 with ulcerative colitis and the culture was performed at 37°C for 24 hours in medium with 1Opg/ml of IgG control mAb or blocking anti-human IL-7Ra mAb (see details of sampling and culture conditions below). A paired control specimen from each patient was sampled and cultured in the same conditions, with IgG control instead of anti-CD127 antibody. Cytokines concentration was measured by ELIS A (as detailed below) in the supematant of the ex-vivo cultured samples.
IFNy production by UC biopsy samples grown ex-vivo was significantly inhibited by anti-lL7Ra mAb. Similar results were observed for some CD biopsy samples secreting high amount of IFNy.
Ex-vivo organ sampling and culture
If mucosal resection tissue was used, small biopsy-size fragments were eut using scissors. Next, biopsies or biopsy-size fragments were placed in 300 pL serum-free HL-1 medium (Lonza, Cambridge BioScience, UK) supplemented with L-Glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 pg/mL streptomycin and 50 pg/mL gentamycin. Mucosal expiants were incubated for 24h at 37'C and 5% CO2. The respective tested antibody (N 13B2) or IgG control used at lOpg/mL was added into the medium at the beginning of incubation time. Finally, supematant and biopsy material was snap frozen and stored at -70’C for future analysis. .
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) Assay
Cytokine production in biopsy supematant was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Human recombinant IFN-γ from ImmunoTools (#31673539, Friesoythe, Germany) was used accordingly to the manufacture’s instruction.

Mass spectrometry analysis: Antibody profïling using peptide microarray
The peptide Technologies' PepStarTM peptide microarrays comprise purified synthetic peptides derived from antigens or other sources that are chemoselectively and covalently immobilized on a glass surface. An optimized hydrophilic linker moiety is inserted between the glass surface and the antigen-derived peptide sequence to avoid false négatives caused by sterical hindrance. For technical reasons ail peptides contain a C-terminal glycine. Profîling experiments of samples were performed on a peptide library consisting of 52 peptides.

Table 5. List of peptides used in peptide microarray assays
A total of 4 samples were incubated on microarray slides using a Multiwell-format. For N13B2-h3 VL6 antibody and the other sample (MD707-13, HAL and 1A11), 6 different concentrations were applied (10 pg/ml; 2 pg/ml; 1 pg/ml; 0.1 pg/ml; 0.01 pg/ml; 0.001 pg/ml). Serial sample dilutions were incubated for 1 hour at 30°C on a multi-well microarray slide, containing 21 individual mini-arrays (1 mini-array per sample dilution). Subséquent to sample incubation, a secondary anti human IgG antibody at 1 pg/ml was added and left to react for 1 hour. An additional control incubation applying the secondaiy antibody only was performed in parallel on the same microarray slide to assess false-positive binding to the peptides. After washing and drying, the slide was scanned with a high-resolution laser scanner at 635 nm to obtain fluorescence intensity profiles. Resulting images were quantified to yield a mean pixel value for each peptide. The images were quantified to yield a mean pixel value for each peptide. Secondaiy antibody anti-h uman IgG labeled with Cy5 at 1 pg/ml.
Buffers and solutions The buffer used were TBS-buffer including 0.05% Tween20 (JPT) and Assay buffer T20 (Pierce, SuperBIock TBS T20, #37536). Acquisition and analysis were performed using Peptide microarrays (JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH, Berlin, Germany; batch #2668, Multi-Well incubation chamber, Axon Genepix Scanner 4200AL, Microarrays were scanned using a high resolution fluorescence scanner. Laser settings and applied resolution were identical for ail performed measurements. The resulting images were analyzed und quantified using spot-recognition software GenePix (Molecular Devices). For each spot, the mean signal intensity was extracted (between 0 and 65535 arbitrary units).
For further data évaluation, the so called MMC2 values were determined. The MMC2 equals the mean value of ail three instances on the microarray except when the coefficient of variation (C V) — standarddéviation divided by the mean value—is larger 0.5. In this case the mean of the two closest values (MC2) is assigned to MMC2.
Deuterium analysis
Using the HDX-2 system (Waters S.A./N.V.; Zellik, Belgium), recombinant human CD 127 and 0 or 1 molar équivalent of mAb were mixed and diluted in 99.9% D2O, lOmM sodium phosphate, lOOmM NaCI, pH 6.8 to a final D2O content of 90% and a CD127 or CD127/mAb complex concentration of 27.5μΜ. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange was performed at 20.0°C for 30 minutes. The exchange was quenched by a 1:1 (v/v) dilution of samples with 100mM sodium phosphate, 4M guanidineTICl, 0.4M
TCEP, pH 2.3, at 1.0 °C resulting in a final pH of 2.5. After 2 minutes, the quenched samples were loaded onto the HDX manager for online pepsin digestion at 20.0°C (Enzymate BEH Pepsin, 2.1 x 30 mm; 5μιη), followed by desalting (Acquity BEH C18 Vanguard 2.1 mm x 5 mm; 1.7 pm) and reverse phase séparation (Acquity BEH Cl8 1.0 mm x 100 mm; 1.7 μΜ) using a gradient from 5%-40% 0.2% formic acid in acetonitrile (pH 2.5) for 10 min at a flow rate of40pl/min at 0.0°C. Mass spectrometiy analysis was performed on a Waters Xevo G2-XS ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometer in the positive ion mode, with lockspray correction. Mild source conditions (température: 90°C, capillary voltage: 2.5kV, sampling cône: 30V, desolvation gas flow: 800L/h, desolvation température: 250°C) were used in order to minimize back-exchange while ensuring proper desolvation (73). Peptide identification was assisted by collision induced dissociation collected in the MSE mode, using PLGS 3.0.2 and UNIFI 1.8. Deuterium incorporation was determined in DynamX 3.0. Structural figures were prepared using PyMOL 1.8.2.3 (Schrôdinger LLC, Cambridge, MA, USA) from PDB ID 3D13(19). Monobasic and dibasic sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, guanidine hydrochloride, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), 50% sodium hydroxide, and formic acid were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Schnelldorf, Germany) at the highest available purity. LC-MS grade solvents were sourced from Biosolve Chimie (Dieuze, France), deuterium oxide (99.9% D) and 20% deuterium chloride in deuterium oxide (99.96% D) from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Andover, MA, USA), hydrochloric acid 37% from VWR International (Fontenay-sous-Bois, France), and bovine cytochrome C digest from Thermo Fisher Scientifïc (Germering, Germany). Amicon ultra-centrifugal filters (0.5 mL; 10 kDa cutoff) were obtained from Merck Millipore (Molsheim, France).
Results
Epitope characterization by linear peptide array of different anti-IL7Ra mAbs identified two types of antagonist mAbs: (1) mAbs binding to the région (site-1) of interaction with IL-7, as previously described by two other groups (clone 1AI1 described in WO/2011/094259 and clone HAL described in WO/2011/104687) and including MD707-13, and (2) a mAb, i.e. N13B2-h3VL6 ofthe présent invention, which binds both site-1 and an epitope overlapping the predicted domain (site-2b) of heterodimerization between IL-7Ra and the γ-chain subunits (Walsh 2012).
N13B2-h3VL6 and MD707-13 with high and similar affinities (the binder to site-l/2b with a KD of 2.IO'loM and a binder to site-1 with a similar KD of 5.10'10M) were recombinantly expressed with a human IgG4 Fc isotype (containing the S228P hinge mutation to prevent Fab-arm exchange) and compared to a previously described other site-1 mAb with similar afïïnity, clone 1A11, described in WO/2011/094259 (KD of 6.1O‘,oM) and recombinantly expressed with a human IgGl Fc isotype as being developed in the clinic (NCT02293161). Analysis of conformational epitope using Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange with Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) conflrmed previous observations and demonstrated that the antibody of the invention, i.e. N13B2-h3VL6 (site-l/2b mAb), protected from deuterium incorporation in several peptides ofthe site-1 but also to a peptide overlapping the site-2b, while the two other mAbs (MD707-13 and 1 AI 1) signifîcantly prevent deuterium incorporation only in peptides from site-l(Data not shown).
The antibody of the invention was the only one to recognize a conformational epitope localized on site 1 from Domain 1 and a conformational epitope localized on site 2b of human CD127.
Example 11. Comparison of anti-human IL-7Ra antibodies for their ability to be agonist and/or antagonist of the IL-7 pathway.
Western Blotting
Freshly isolated human PBMCs were incubated for 30 min at 37°C with 10pg/ml of anti-human IL-7Ra mAbs, and then cultured alone or with 5ng/ml of recombinant human IL-7 (AbDSerotec) for 10min at 37°C. After stopping the reactions on ice, cells lysâtes were prepared with RIPA buffer (with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail). Proteins (15pg) were resolved under reducing conditions on 7.5% polyaciylamide gels and immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes (GeHealthcare) using standard methods. Blots were washed with 5% BSA-Tris Buffer Saline and incubated with Phospho-STAT 5, Phospho-PI3K p55 or Phospho-ERK spécifie antibodies in 1% BSA-TBS (ovemight at 4°C), followed by a polyclonal goat anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibody (Cell Signalling Technology) for Ih at room température. Alternatively, blots were stained using a GAPDH antibody (Santa Cruz) in 1% BSA-TBS (ovemight at 4°C), followed by polyclonal goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase labeled antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch) for Ih at room température. Membranes were revealed by chemiluminescence using a LAS-3000 imaging system (Fujifilm).
RNA sequencing
Freshly isolated human PBMCs were incubated with 10pg/ml anti-human lL-7Ra mAbs (30 min at 37°C), and then cultured alone or with 5ng/ml of recombinant human IL-7 (AbDSerotec) for 3 hours at 37°C. Réactions were stopped on ice and the cell pellets resuspended inRLT buffer (Qiagen) containing 1% β mercaptoethanol in RNase/DNase free water and stored at -80°C. RNA was extracted using an RNA mini extraction kit according to manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen). The quality and quantity of RNA were assessed by infrared spectrometry (Nanodrop) and Agilent bioanalyzer (Agilent RNA 6000 Pico Kit). Smart-Seq2 libraries were prepared by the Broad Technology Labs and sequenced by the Broad Genomics Platform according to the SmartSeq2 protocol with some modifications. Briefly, total RNA was purified using RNA-SPRI beads, polyA+ mRNA was reverse-transcribed to cDNA, and amplified cDNA was subject to transposon-based fragmentation that used dual-indexing to barcode each fragment of each converted transcript with a combination of barcodes spécifie to each sample. Sequencing was carried oui as paired-end 2x25bp with an additional 8 cycles for each index. Data was separated by barcode and aligned using Tophat version 2.0.10 with default settings. Transcripts were quantified by the Broad Technology Labs computational pipeline using Cuffquant version 2.2.1. Briefly, data were processed through CufïNorm if 50% of the reads aligned, and if at least 100,000 pairs were aligned per sample. Normalization used the default settings, including “géométrie” normalization, and expression level information as log2-transformed FPKM values (Fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped fragments) were used for subséquent analyses. For identification of différentiel genes, linearmodeling with estimation ofthe mean-variance relationship (limma-trend) with empirical Bayes statistical procedure were performed using the limma package in R. Genes with Benjamini and Hochberg adjusted p-value <5% and fold change (FC) >1.5 were considered as differentially expressed. For gene expression représentation, principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering were performed in R v3.3.2 using ade4/adegraphics and pheatmap packages respectively. The biological signifîcance of selected genes was assessed using the R clusterProfiler package. Gene ontology (GO) categories enriched with a false discoveiy rate (FDR) <5% and with at least fîve represented genes were selected. RNA-seq data can be accessed under GEO accession number GSE.
Results
STAT5, PIK3 and ERK signaling pathways
Anti-human IL-7Ra mAbs (N13B2-h3VL6, MD707-13,1A11 and HAL) were then compared fortheir ability to activate or block STAT5, PI3K and ERK signaling pathways previously associated with 1L7R signaling (Figures 9 and 10). As previously illustrated (see for example Figure 7), IL-7 induces potent STAT5 phosphorylation on human PBMCs and ail tested mAbs are potent inhibitors of this STAT5 phosphorylation (see Figure 7). In contrasq and as illustrated on Figures 9 and 10, the inventors found that while IL-7 induces a variable PJ3K phosphorylation and does not induce ERK phosphorylation, the antibodies of prior art (namely MD707-13, 1 Al 1 and HAL) significantly induce ERK phosphorylation and to a lesser extent PI3K signal even in the absence of exogenous IL-7 on the contrary to the antibody according to the invention. These fmdings show that anti-human lL-7Ra antibodies of prior art hâve partial agonist properties, and are therefore considered as dual agonist/antagonist mAbs for the human 1L-7R. On the contrary, an antibody according to the invention, and particularly N13B2-h3VL6, only has antagonist property for the human IL-7R.
The inventors assessed if the antibodies with agonist/antagonist properties could deliver an effective agonist signal capable of modifying human T cells. The transcriptomes of human PBMCs incubated for 3.5 hours without exogenous human IL-7, with human IL-7, and with IL-7 and an antibody (MD70713,1A11 site-1 (lgG4 #1 or IgGl #2 respectively) orN13B2-hVL6 site-l/2b (IgG4)) hâve been analyzed by RNA-based-next génération sequencing (RNA-SEQ). A total of 481 genes were differentially expressed in human PBMCs incubated with anti-human IL-7Ra mAbs compared to control conditions, while a total of334 genes were differentially expressed with human IL-7 stimulation alone compared to control conditions.

Table 6. List of genes significantly (FDR 5%) and differentially (fold-change >1.5) expressed after incubation of human PBMCs (n=7) with anti-IL7Ra mAbs compared to unstimulated cells.
Venn diagram (Figure 1 IC) analysis identifîed 61 common difTerentially expressed genes with the three mAbs without any particular GoMiner gene ontology enrichment. Despite 61 common genes, the antibody of the invention induces only 31 significant gene modifications without gene ontology enrichment. In contrast, the two antibodies of prior art induce an important transcriptional modification of human PBMCs transcriptome, with 245 difTerentially expressed genes induced by the site-1 IgG4 #1 mAb and 237 difTerentially expressed genes induced by the site-1 IgGl #2 mAb. 78 difTerentially expressed genes were common between these two site-1 mAbs, but these genes are not difTerentially expressed when the PBMCs are stimulated with N13B2-hVL6.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the IL-7 signature shows that the difTerentially expressed genes induced by the antibodies of the prior art are strongly different from the difTerentially expressed genes induced by IL-7. GoMiner gene ontology enrichment suggests that both antibodies of the prior art modifÿ biological PBMCs functions such as leukocyte activation, prolifération, migration, chemotaxis, cytokine sécrétion and inflammatoiy responses associated with the MAPK/ERK pathway.
Among the 334 genes difTerentially expressed with 1L7 compared to the control condition, 93 genes were difTerentially expressed with a high fold-change (>2) and were separated into 3 distinct clusters by heat-map analysis (Figure 11A). The first cluster of downregulated genes assessed by gene ontology enrichment were mainly implicated in leukocyte différentiation and apoptosis, a second cluster of highly upregulated genes were associated with leukocyte adhesion, différentiation and activation, and a third cluster of upregulated gene had mixed gene ontology. Interestingly, ali tested mAbs (both site-1 or sitel/2b) exhibited similar effects by preventing cluster-1 and cluster-2 modification but without impact on cluster-3 (Figure 11 B).
Altogether, transcriptional analyses confirmed that despite site-1 and site-1/2b anti-human IL-7Ra mAbs shared similar antagonist properties, the two site-1 mAbs described in the State of the art induced significant transcriptional modifications of human PBMCs compatible with T-cell activation and inflammatoiy responses induced by the MAPK/ERK. pathway.
The site-l/2b anti-human IL-7Ra mAb of the invention, i.e. N13B2-hVL6, induced less transcriptional modification of human PBMCs compared to the two site-1 mAbs described in the State of the art.
The lack of spécifie and “antagonist-only” anti-IL-7Ra mAbs for laiger species has prevented vérification of this effect in primates or humans. The inventors found that the agonist/antagonist properties of anti-IL-7Ra mAbs dépends on the spécifie epitope targeted, since antibodies of the State of the art binding the site-1 IL-7 interaction domain appear to hâve both agonist/antagonist properties whereas the antibody of the invention binding the dimerization domain of lL-7Ra/yc (site 2b) display strict antagonist activity. The inventors suggest that the antibody of the invention could perturb IL7Ra/yc dimerization required for receptor intemalization and signaling. “Antagonist-only” antibodies against the 1L-7R prevented long-term memory T-cell-mediated skin inflammation in primates, even after chronic antigen stimulation, without inducing lymphopenia or polyclonal T-cell functional or metabolic deficiencies.
1L-7 has been shown to induce proliférative and anti-apoptotic signais through 1L-7R signaling mainly by activating the JAK/STAT pathway. IL-7R signaling is also believed to involve the PI3K/AKT pathway, but this has been observed in transformed immortalized cell Unes or primary thymocytes and these signais were not détectable in peripheral naïve or memory human T lymphocytes (Watanabe, J. Exp. Med, 1998). Several reports hâve also suggested that IL-7R signaling could amplify ERK phosphorylation either in T lymphocytes or pro-B cell subsets (Deshpande P. 1. Immunol, 2013; Fleming HE and Paige CJ, Immunity, 2001). The rôle of these pathways in IL-7R signaling in mature and human T cells is less clear. Using primary freshly isolated human PBMCs (mostly composed of T and B lymphocytes, monocytes and NK cells) from healthy volunteers stimulated with a high concentration of recombinant human 1L-7 (5000pg/ml, while the concentration in sera is — 5 pg/ml in non-lymphopenic conditions Wong H-L, Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 2008)), the inventors confïrmed that IL-7 induced reproducible STAT5 phosphorylation. PI3K signal activation was more variable, and they did not observe any ERK phosphorylation. While ail anti-IL7Ra mAbs used in this study were potent inhibitors of lL-7-inducedpSTAT5 and displayed similartranscriptional antagonist properties, we found that two site-1 mAbs of the state of the art induced PI3K/ERK agonist signais and important transcriptîonal modifications associated with T-cell activation and inflammatory responses induced by the MAPKZERK pathway. These opposing dual agonist/antagonist properties of some mAbs are not unique since other targets such as EL-4, EL-6R, IL-15, CD28, CD38, CD40, or HER2 demonstrated similar activities after receptor endocytosis/intemalization.
The heterodimerization of this site 2b with TSLPR has also been recently confïrmed and demonstrated to be poised for receptor signaling as already predicted for lL-7Ra and the γ-chain (Verstraete K„ Nature Communications, 2017). Interestingly, the predicted heterodimerization site between EL-7Ra/y-chain and IL-7Ro/TSLPR is overlapping suggesting a shared heterodimerization-mediated signaling mechanism between both receptors.
We found that the in vitro pSTAT5 inhibition assay was not prédictive of anti-IL-7R antibody efficacy in vivo. In a previous report, another anti-IL7Ra mAb prevented in vitro and ex vivo IL-7-induced pSTAT5 in primates but did not protect from brain inflammation in an experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) marmoset model (Dunham J., J. Neuroimmune.Pharmacol, 2016).
IL-7 has been well-described in maintaining the pool of peripheral naïve and memory T lymphocytes in mice. In primates however, the importance of EL-7 in maintaining peripheral T-cell homeostasis might therefore be less évident and/or redundant mechanisms might explain the différence between species.
These data showed that antagonist properties of anti-IL-7Ra mAbs and in-vivo efficacy are not only related to the prévention of IL-7 binding and pSTAT5 inhibition. These data showed that the antibody of the invention also targeting the receptor heterodimerization site (site 2b), is “antagonist-only” and resuit in a higher efïicacy of inhibitory T cell responses in vivo.
Targeting 1L7R with “antagonist-only” antibodies has the potential to regulate antigen-specific memoiy T cell survival and accumulation, and therefore might promote the prévention of long-term relapse in 5 autoimmune and inflammatoiy diseases.
