Background Eph proteins are the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases in humans and are normally involved in cell-to-cell communication, plasticity, and patterning. EphA2 repre-sents an attractive therapeutic target due to its overexpression in many cancers. Unfortunately, to date, clinical efforts to target EphA2 have demonstrated limited efficacy or significant toxicity. Methods We sequenced the antibody chains expressed by sin-gle plasmablast B cells from patients with cancer and identified antibodies selectively binding to non-autologous human tumor tissues. The target and epitope of an antibody of inter-est were identified by FACS, yeast display, and crystallography methods. Lead optimization used sequence- and structure-based rational mutations, combined with selections from high-throughput yeast display screening. Optimized leads were engi-neered into several weaponized formats and tested for safety and anti-tumor activity. assays. Optimized leads demonstrated tumor-selective binding across multiple tumor types and labeling of plasma membranes and cytoplasmic puncta. Antibody weaponization in multiple formats

Background AB248 is a fusion of an affinity-attenuated IL-2 mutein and an antibody targeting CD8+ T cells designed to overcome the limitations of wild-type IL-2 and second-genera-tion IL-2R bg agonists, “ not- a ” IL-2 and IL-15 variants. Like “ not- a ” IL-2, AB248 ’ s IL-2 mutein does not bind IL-2R a and thus avoids IL-2R a -associated vascular leak syndrome (VLS) and preferential Treg activation in nonclinical models. Further, the IL-2 mutein in AB248 has reduced IL-2R b affinity, and its cis-targeting to CD8+ T cells enables AB248 to avoid the biased expansion of IL-2R b high NK cells and IL2R bg -mediated activation of Tregs associated with untargeted IL2R bg agonists. Thus, AB248 ’ s design enables robust IL-2 pharmacology on CD8+ T cells, key effectors with IL-2-based therapy 1-2 , while avoiding cell types that may promote toxicity or oppose antitumor activity. Here, the mechanisms by which AB248 achieves enhanced nonclinical activity and safety profiles over untargeted IL-2-based therapies are elucidated. sorted PBMC subsets interrogated this and necessity of dual IL-2R a and IL-2R bg affinity reduction as well as CD8+ T cell cis-targeting to avoid antigen-independent cytokine release.

Background Melanoma often metastasizes to the brain, 1 usu-ally with a lethal outcome. Recent studies have reported that systemic immunotherapies (IOT) are effective in patients (pts) with melanoma brain metastases (MBM). 2 3 Nevertheless, the failure of IOT in nearly half of patients with MBM leads to the urgency to deeper investigate mechanisms of intrinsic and acquired resistance. The aim of this study is to deeply charac-terize the tumor microenvironment (TME) of primary melanoma (PM) and MBM and to assess inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity in order to identify potential strategies able to increase the success of IOT in pts with MBM. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor biopsies were derived from 7 PM and 14 MBM biopsies from different pts. was isolated from tumor regions and sub-jected to whole gene expression profiling (GEP). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was performed for enrichment assess-ment, and Microenvironment Cell Populations-counter (MCP-counter) method was used to estimate the abundance of immune and stromal infiltrated cell subpopulations. Selected transcripts including mRNA for CD163, CD45 and CD20 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Inter- and intra-tumor immune heterogeneity of n=59 selected immune protein was also determined in PM and MBM by digital spa-tial profiling (DSP) using Nanostring
