Definitions
- the present invention concerns anti-BCMA heavy chain-only antibodies (UniAb).
- UniAb heavy chain-only antibodies
- invention further concerns methods of making such antibodies, compositions, including
- compositions comprising such antibodies, and their use to treat a B-cell disorder characterized by the expression of BCMA.
- BCMA B-Cell Maturation Antigen
- BCMA also known as tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17) (UniProt Q02223), is a cell surface receptor exclusively expressed on plasma cells and plasmablasts.
- BCMA is a receptor for two ligands in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily: APRIL (a proliferation- inducing ligand, also known as TNFSF13; TALL-2 and TRDL-1; the high affinity ligand for BCMA) and B cell activation factor (BAFF) (also known as BLyS; TALL-1; THANK; zTNF4; TNFSF20; and D8Ertd387e; the low affinity ligand for BCMA).
- APRIL a proliferation- inducing ligand, also known as TNFSF13; TALL-2 and TRDL-1; the high affinity ligand for BCMA
- BAFF B cell activation factor
- APRIL and BAFF are growth factors that bind BCMA and promote survival of plasma cells. BCMA is also highly expressed on malignant plasma cells in human multiple myeloma (MM). Antibodies binding to BCMA are described, for example, in Gras et al., 1995, Int. Immunol. 7: 1093-1106, WO200124811 and WO200124812. Anti-BCMA antibodies that cross-react with TACI are described in WO2002/066516. Bispecific antibodies against BCMA and CD3 are described, for example, in US 2013/0156769 Al and US 2015/0376287 Al.
- UniAbs lack the first domain of the constant region (CHI) which is present in the genome, but is spliced out during mRNA processing.
- the absence of the CHI domain explains the absence of the light chain in the UniAbs, since this domain is the anchoring place for the constant domain of the light chain.
- Such UniAbs naturally evolved to confer antigen-binding specificity and high affinity by three CDRs from conventional antibodies or fragments thereof (Muyldermans, 2001; J Biotechnol 74:277- 302; Revets et al., 2005; Expert Opin Biol Ther 5: 111-124).
- IgNAR immunoglobulin
- vNARs single heavy chain polypeptide
- VHH portion can be readily cloned and expressed in yeast (Frenken, L. G. J., et al. J. Biotechnol. 78, 11-21 (2000)). Their levels of expression, solubility and stability are significantly higher than those of classical F(ab) or Fv fragments (Ghahroudi, M. A. et al. FEBS Lett. 414, 521-526 (1997)).
- mice in which the ⁇ (lambda) light (L) chain locus and/or the ⁇ and ⁇ (kappa) L chain loci have been functionally silenced and antibodies produced by such mice are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,541,513 and 8,367,888. Recombinant production of heavy chain-only antibodies in mice and rats has been reported, for example, in WO2006008548; U.S. Application Publication No.

- composition/method/kit but other elements may be included to form the composition/method/kit etc. within the scope of the claim.
- the term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen.

However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domains of antibodies. It is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions both in the light chain and the heavy chain variable domains. The more highly conserved portions of variable domains are called the framework regions (FRs).
- the variable domains of native heavy and light chains each comprise four FRs, largely adopting a ⁇ -sheet configuration, connected by three hypervariable regions, which form loops connecting, and in some cases forming part of, the ⁇ -sheet structure.
- the hypervariable regions in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FRs and, with the hypervariable regions from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site of antibodies (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)).
- the constant domains are not involved directly in binding an antibody to an antigen, but exhibit various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
- hypervariable region when used herein refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody which are responsible for antigen-binding.
- the hypervariable region generally comprises amino acid residues from a "complementarity determining region” or "CDR" (e.g., residues 31-35 (HI), 50-65 (H2) and 95-102 (H3) in the heavy chain variable domain; Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed.

- substitutions in an amino acid sequence is used herein to mean 2 (two), 1 (one) or 0 (zero) substitutions in the reference amino acid sequence.
- Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2.

- Binding affinity refers to the strength of the sum total of noncovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, "binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1 : 1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen).
- the affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (Kd). Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art. Low-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen slowly and tend to dissociate readily, whereas high-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen faster and tend to remain bound.

- Epitope mapping is the process of identifying the binding sites, or epitopes, of antibodies on their target antigens.
- Antibody epitopes may be linear epitopes or conformational epitopes. Linear epitopes are formed by a continuous sequence of amino acids in a protein. Conformational epitopes are formed of amino acids that are discontinuous in the protein sequence, but which are brought together upon folding of the protein into its three-dimensional structure.
- Polyepitopic specificity refers to the ability to specifically bind to two or more different epitopes on the same or different target(s).
- An antibody binds "essentially the same epitope" as a reference antibody, when the two antibodies recognize identical or sterically overlapping epitopes.
- the most widely used and rapid methods for determining whether two epitopes bind to identical or sterically overlapping epitopes are competition assays, which can be configured in all number of different formats, using either labeled antigen or labeled antibody.
- the antigen is immobilized on a 96-well plate, and the ability of unlabeled antibodies to block the binding of labeled antibodies is measured using radioactive or enzyme labels.
