Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a bispecific biologic comprising a ligand specific for CTLA-4 and a ligand specific for a pMHC complex.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A bispecific fusion protein comprising a ligand specific for CTLA-4 selected from the group consisting of CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2), and a ligand specific for a peptide-MHC class II (pMHCII) complex, wherein the CD80 or the CD86 and the ligand specific for the pMHCII complex are spaced apart by a linker. 2. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 1 , wherein the ligand specific for the pMHCII complex is LAG-3. 3. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 1 , wherein the linker is one or more of a polyamino acid sequence and an antibody Fc domain. 4. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 3 , wherein the polyamino acid sequence is G9 (Gly-9). 5. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 1 , wherein the ligand specific for CTLA-4 is CD80. 6. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 5 , wherein the CD80 is mutated to increase specificity for CTLA-4 over CD28. 7. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 6 , wherein CD80 is human CD80 comprising the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:15 modified to include at least one of mutations W84A, K71G, K71V, S109G, R123S, R123D, G124L, S190A, S201A, R63A, M81A, N97A and E196A. 8. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 7 , wherein CD80 comprises the mutation W84A or E196A of human CD80. 9. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 2 , wherein LAG-3 is mutated to increase specificity for pMHCII. 10. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 9 , wherein LAG-3 is human LAG-3 comprising at least one of mutations R73E, R75A, R75E and R76E. 11. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 10 , wherein LAG-3 comprises the mutation R75A or R75E. 12. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 1 , wherein the ligand specific for the pMHCII complex is an anti-MHCII antibody. 13. The bispecific fusion protein according to claim 1 , wherein the ligand specific for CTLA-4 is CD86.
