Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 MULTISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES THAT BIND CD3 AND CD2 AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the priority to, and benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/584,144, filed on September 20, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in in entirety herein. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF SEQUENCE LISTING [0002] The contents of the electronic sequence listing entitled “EVIM_008_001WO_SeqList_ST26.xml”, created on September 20, 2024, and having a size of 63/584,166 bytes, is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD [0003] The present disclosure provides multispecific antibodies that specifically bind to CD3, CD2 and a tumor-associated antigen and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the multispecific antibodies. The disclosure further provides methods of using the multispecific antibodies to treat cancers that express the tumor-associated antigens. The disclosure further provides methods of manufacturing the multispecific antibodies. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Redirected targeted T-cell lysis is a mechanism for first line treatment and refractory settings. T cell retargeting (or T cell redirecting) multispecific antibodies are a class of therapeutics, capable of recruiting T cells to tumor cells and inducing tumor-specific (but MHC-independent) activation of T cell effector activities. First line treatments for some indications or the indications themselves may promote immune suppressive environments to promote T-cell anergy, reducing the efficacy of existing redirected targeted T-cell lysis therapies. [0005] There is a need in the art for alternative approaches for generating improved redirected T-cell lysis approaches that are useful as therapeutics. The present disclosure addresses this unmet need in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0104] The present disclosure overcomes problems associated with current technologies by providing multispecific antibodies for immunotherapy, such as for the treatment of immune- related diseases, including cancer. T cell retargeting (or T cell redirecting) multispecific antibodies is a class of therapeutics, capable of recruiting T cells to tumor cells and inducing tumor-specific (but MHC-independent) activation of T cell effector activities. Typically, T cell retargeting bispecific antibodies contain an antigen binding region that targets CD3 portion of the T cell receptor for T cell recruitment, and an antigen binding region that targets a disease-associated antigen (DAA). This targeting design promotes the recruitment of T cell and positions it in close contact with a target tumor cell, resulting in the formation of an immunological synapse, local T cell activation and the subsequent destruction of the target cell by perforin and granzyme released from T cell cytotoxic granules. [0105] As the CD3 binding affinity of the T-cell retargeting bispecific antibodies is crucial for recruitment of T cells, the present invention also relates to the generation of a panel of antibodies that bind to human CD3 that display different binding affinities. The affinity of the CD3 arm of a bispecific antibody can significantly modify the functional activity of the bispecific antibody. Thus, it is desirable and advantageous to have anti-CD3 antibodies with varied affinities. [0106] Additionally, multispecific antibodies disclosed herein also bind to CD2 to mimic or enhance physiological responses. Physiological responses include but are not limited to T- cell activation, T-cell proliferation and prevention of T-cell exhaustion. This disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discover that engaging CD2 in addition to CD3 will improve the clinical outcomes of T-cell retargeting therapies by activating T cell subpopulations that Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 would be refractory to stimulation using bispecific engagers that only target a DAA and a T- cell receptor complex. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that combining CD2 engagement and TCR complex engagement in a single multispecific molecule can stimulate both a primary signaling pathway that promotes T-cell mediated lysis of tumor cells (by clustering TCRs, for example) and a second co-stimulatory pathway to induce T-cell proliferation and potentially overcome anergy. Accordingly, the multispecific molecule of the disclosure can improve T-cell activation. [0107] The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a balance in DAA engagement, CD2 engagement and TCR complex engagement must be achieved in order to establish optimal T-cell activation without causing antigen-independent T cell activation and/or T cell fratricide. For example, cancers with high disease antigen density versus cancers with low disease antigen density may require a different binding affinity with CD2 and TCR in order to establish optimal T-cell activation. In each tumor microenvironment, the ratio of binding to the TCR complex and the CD2 must be tuned in order to provide a therapeutic effect while mitigating fratricide and anergy. For example, a combination of reduced CD3 binding affinity in combination with increased CD2 binding affinity may be used to provide TCR and CD2 receptor activation without causing antigen- independent T cell activation and T cell fratricide. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides multispecific antibodies that bind CD3, a DAA and CD2 with a specific range and ratio of binding affinities to allow fine tuning of T-cell activation in various tumor microenvironments, which is desirable for therapeutic applications. Accordingly, methods of T-cell activation using the multispecific antibodies of the disclosure are also provided. Cleavable masking moieties of the multispecific antibodies of the disclosure further provide a mechanism for fine tuning the balance of antigen binding that is required for optimal T- cell activation. [0108] ANTIBODY COMPOSITIONS AND STRUCTURES [0109] The present disclosure provides an antibody comprising the following domain structure: a) a first heavy chain polypeptide (H1) comprising a variable region (VH1), and a constant region (CH1) having a constant region 1 domain (CH1H1), a hinge region (H1H), a constant region 2 domain (CH1H2) and a constant region 3 domain (CH1H3); and a first light chain polypeptide (L1) comprising a variable region (VL1) and a constant region (CL1), and b) a second heavy chain polypeptide (H2) comprising a variable region (VH2), and a Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 constant region (CH2) having a constant region 1 domain (CH2H1), a hinge region (H2H), a constant region 2 domain (CH2H2) and a constant region 3 domain (CH2H3); and second light chain polypeptide (L2) comprising a variable region (VL2) and a constant region (CL2). A schematic diagram of the antibody structure of the disclosure is shown in FIGS. 1A-1D. [0110] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule and immunologically active portions of an immunoglobulin molecule, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen binding site that specifically binds (immunoreacts with) an antigen. By “specifically bind” or “immunoreacts with” “or directed against” is meant that the antibody reacts with one or more antigenic determinants of the desired antigen and does not react with other polypeptides or binds at much lower affinity (Kd > 10-6). Antibodies include, but are not limited to, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies. The antibody may be from recombinant sources and/or produced in transgenic animals. [0111] The basic antibody structural unit is known to comprise a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kDa) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain includes a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. [0112] In general, antibody molecules obtained from humans relate to any of the classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD, which differ from one another by the nature of the heavy chain present in the molecule. Certain classes have subclasses as well, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG4 and others. Furthermore, in humans, the light chain may be a kappa chain or a lambda chain. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibody disclosed herein is an IgG antibody. [0113] Antibodies may be purified by well-known techniques, such as affinity chromatography using protein A or protein G, which provide primarily the IgG fraction of immune serum. Subsequently, or alternatively, the specific antigen, which is the target of the immunoglobulin sought, or an epitope thereof, may be immobilized on a column to purify the immune specific antibody by immunoaffinity chromatography. Purification of immunoglobulins is discussed, for example, by D. Wilkinson (The Scientist, published by The Scientist, Inc., Philadelphia PA, Vol.14, No.8 (April 17, 2000), pp.25-28). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0114] The term "antibody fragment" as used herein is intended to include without limitation, Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, scFv, dsFv, ds-scFv, dimers, minibodies, diabodies, and multimers thereof, multispecific antibody fragments and Domain Antibodies. Antibodies can be fragmented using conventional techniques. For example, F(ab')2 fragments can be generated by treating the antibody with pepsin. The resulting F(ab')2 fragment can be treated to reduce disulfide bridges to produce Fab' fragments. Papain digestion can lead to the formation of Fab fragments. Fab, Fab' and F(ab')2, scFv, dsFv, ds-scFv, dimers, minibodies, diabodies, bispecific antibody fragments and other fragments can also be synthesized by recombinant techniques. [0115] Techniques can be adapted for the production of single-chain antibodies specific to an antigenic protein of the disclosure (see e.g., U.S. Patent No.4,946,778). In addition, methods can be adapted for the construction of Fab expression libraries (see e.g., Huse, et al., 1989 Science 246:1275-1281) to allow rapid and effective identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with the desired specificity for a protein or derivatives, fragments, analogs or homologs thereof. [0116] As used herein, the term “epitope” refers to the site on an antigen that is recognized by the antibodies and fragments disclosed herein. The term “epitope” includes any protein determinant capable of specific binding to an immunoglobulin. Epitopic determinants usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. An antibody is said to specifically bind an antigen when the dissociation constant is < 1 micromolar; e.g., < 100 nM, preferably < 10 nM and more preferably < 1 nM. [0117] Multispecific antibodies are antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. This disclosure provides a multispecific antibody comprising a first antigen binding region that binds a first antigen (e.g. CD3İ) and a second antigen binding region that binds to a second antigen (e.g. disease associated antigen) and a third antigen binding region that binds to a third antigen (e.g. CD2). [0118] Antibodies with more than two valencies are also contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. Tutt et al., J. Immunol.147:60 (1991). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0119] ANTIBODY VARIANTS [0120] In certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the antibodies provided herein are contemplated. For example, it may be desirable to improve the heavy chain heterodimerization, light chain heterodimerization, binding affinity, and/or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of an antibody may be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequences of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics (e.g., light chain heterodimerization, heavy chain heterodimerization, antigen binding). [0121] Amino acids may be grouped according to common side-chain properties: (1) hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile; (2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln; (3) acidic (negatively charged): Asp, Glu; (4) basic (positively charged): His, Lys, Arg; (5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro; (6) aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe. [0122] Functional variants of the antibody or antigen-binding fragments described herein are also encompassed by the present disclosure. The term "functional variant" as used herein includes modifications or chemical equivalents of the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences disclosed herein that perform substantially the same function as the polypeptides or nucleic acid molecules disclosed herein in substantially the same way. For example, functional variants of polypeptides disclosed herein include, without limitation, conservative amino acid substitutions. [0123] A "conservative amino acid substitution" as used herein, is one in which one amino acid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue that change an amino acid to a different amino acid with similar biochemical properties (e.g. charge, hydrophobicity and size). Variants of polypeptides also include additions and deletions to the polypeptide sequences disclosed herein. In addition, variant nucleotide sequences include analogs and derivatives thereof. A variant of the binding proteins disclosed herein include proteins that bind to the same antigen or epitope as the binding proteins. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0124] In some embodiments, the charged amino acid residue is a naturally occurring amino acid or a non-naturally occurring amino acid. In some embodiments, the naturally occurring charged amino acid residue is an arginine, a lysine, a histidine, a glutamic acid or an aspartic acid. [0125] Light Chain and Heavy Chain Substitution Variants [0126] To generate a substantially homogeneous population of multispecific antibodies with the correct pairing of heavy chain and light chains (i.e. cognate pairing or heterodimerization of a light chain with the heavy chain necessary to form the variable domain or antigen binding region of the original antibody), the first heavy chain polypeptide (H1) has a strong preference for binding with the first light chain polypeptide (L1) relative to the second light chain polypeptide (L2); and the second heavy chain polypeptide (H2) has a strong preference for binding with the second light chain polypeptide (L2) relative to first light chain polypeptide (L1). In addition, the first heavy chain polypeptide (H1) and the second heavy chain polypeptide (H2) have a stronger preference for heterodimerization than homodimerization (i.e. heavy chain heterodimerization). [0127] Antibody variants having one or more amino acid substitutions are provided herein. Exemplary substitutional mutagenesis sites include the charged substitution pairs shown in Tables 1.1-1.3 and 2-6. [0128] For the multispecific antibodies of the disclosure, it is advantageous to use Fab heterodimerization strategies to permit the correct association of Fab domains belonging to the same arm and minimize aberrant pairing of Fab domains belonging to different arm. Exemplary Fab heterodimerization strategies include but are not limited to those shown in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2. Antibodies domains as listed in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 correspond to domains of the present disclosure as depicted in FIG.1. [0129] TABLE 1.1 - Fab Heterodimerization Strategies

[0162] It can be desirable to modify an antibody disclosed herein with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, e.g., the effectiveness of the antibody in treating diseases and disorders. For example, cysteine residue(s) can be introduced into the Fc region, thereby allowing interchain disulfide bond formation in this region. The homodimeric antibody thus generated can have improved internalization capability and/or increased complement- mediated cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). (See Caron et al., J Exp Med., 176:1191-1195 (1992) and Shopes, J. Immunol., 148:2918-2922. (1992)). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 Alternatively, an antibody can be engineered that has dual Fc regions and can thereby have enhanced complement lysis and ADCC capabilities. (See Stevenson et al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design, 3:219-230 (1989)). [0163] Certain antibody variants with improved or diminished binding to FcRs are described. (See, e.g., U.S. Patent No.6.737,056; WO 2004/056312, and Shields et al., J. Biol. Chem.9(2): 6591-6604 (2001)). [0164] In certain embodiments, an antibody variant comprises an Fc region with one or more amino acid substitutions which improve ADCC, e.g., substitutions at positions 298, 333, and/or 334 of the Fc region (EU numbering of residues). [0165] In some embodiments, alterations are made in the Fc region that result in altered (i.e., either improved or diminished) C1q binding and/or Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC), e.g., as described in US Patent No.6,194,551, WO 99/51642, and Idusogie et al. J. Immunol.164: 4178-4184 (2000). [0166] Antibodies with increased half-lives and improved binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer et al., J. Immunol.117:587 (1976) and Kim et al., J. Immunol.24:249 (1994)), are described in US2005/0014934A1 (Hinton et al.). Those antibodies comprise an Fc region with one or more substitutions therein which improve binding of the Fc region to FcRn. Such Fc variants include those with substitutions at one or more of Fc region residues: 238, 256, 265, 272, 286, 303, 305, 307, 311, 312, 317, 340, 356, 360, 362, 376, 378, 380, 382, 413, 424 or 434, e.g., substitution of Fc region residue 434 (US Patent No.7,371 ,826).

[0167] In some embodiments, antibodies may comprise a substitution mutation in the Fc region that reduces effector function. In some embodiments, the substitution mutation is an aglycosylation site mutation. In some embodiments, the aglycosylation site mutation is at amino acid residue 297 and amino acid substitutions at residues 234, 235, 265 and 331 (EU numbering) to disrupt the Fc receptor binding interface. In some embodiments, the aglycosylation site mutation reduces effector function of the antibody. [0168] In some embodiments, i) the CH1H3 and/or the CH2H3 has an A at position 297 (EU numbering) ii) the CH1H3 and/or the CH2H3 has a G at position 297 (EU numbering); or iii) Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 the CH1H3 and/or the CH2H3 has a S at position 297 (EU numbering).

[0171] The use of knobs into holes as a method of producing multispecific antibodies is well known in the art. See U.S. Pat. No.5,731,168 granted 24 Mar.1998 assigned to Genentech, PCT Pub. No. WO2009089004 published 16 Jul.2009 and assigned to Amgen, and US Pat. Pub. No.20090182127 published 16 Jul.2009 and assigned to Novo Nordisk A/S.

[0172] A “protuberance” refers to at least one amino acid side chain which projects from the interface of a first polypeptide and is therefore positionable in a compensatory cavity in the adjacent interface (i.e. the interface of a second polypeptide) so as to stabilize the heteromultimeric antibody, and thereby favor heteromultimeric antibody formation over homomultimeric antibody formation, for example. The protuberance may exist in the original interface or may be introduced synthetically (e.g. by altering nucleic acid encoding the interface). Normally, nucleic acid encoding the interface of the first polypeptide is altered to encode the protuberance. To achieve this, the nucleic acid encoding at least one “original” amino acid residue in the interface of the first polypeptide is replaced with nucleic acid encoding at least one “import” amino acid residue which has a larger side chain volume than the original amino acid residue. It will be appreciated that there can be more than one original and corresponding import residue. The upper limit for the number of original residues which are replaced is the total number of residues in the interface of the first polypeptide. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0173] The preferred import residues for the formation of a protuberance are generally naturally occurring amino acid residues and are preferably selected from arginine (R), phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y) and tryptophan (W). Most preferred are tryptophan and tyrosine. In one embodiment, the original residue for the formation of the protuberance has a small side chain volume, such as alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glycine, serine, threonine or valine. Exemplary amino acid substitutions in the CH1H3 or CH2H3 domain for forming the protuberance include without limitation the T366W substitution. [0174] A “cavity” refers to at least one amino acid side chain which is recessed from the interface of a second polypeptide and therefore accommodates a corresponding protuberance on the adjacent interface of a first polypeptide. The cavity may exist in the original interface or may be introduced synthetically (e.g. by altering nucleic acid encoding the interface). Normally, nucleic acid encoding the interface of the second polypeptide is altered to encode the cavity. To achieve this, the nucleic acid encoding at least one “original” amino acid residue in the interface of the second polypeptide is replaced with DNA encoding at least one “import” amino acid residue which has a smaller side chain volume than the original amino acid residue. It will be appreciated that there can be more than one original and corresponding import residue. The upper limit for the number of original residues which are replaced is the total number of residues in the interface of the second polypeptide. The side chain volumes of the various amino residues are shown in Table 3 above. The preferred import residues for the formation of a cavity are usually naturally occurring amino acid residues and are preferably selected from alanine (A), serine (S), threonine (T) and valine (V). Most preferred are serine, alanine or threonine. In one embodiment, the original residue for the formation of the cavity has a large side chain volume, such as tyrosine, arginine, phenylalanine or tryptophan. Exemplary amino acid substitutions in the CH1H3 or CH2H3 domain for generating the cavity include without limitation the T366S, L368A, Y407A, Y407T and Y407V substitutions. In certain embodiments, the knob half-antibody comprises T366W substitution, and the hole half- antibody comprises the T366S/L368A/Y407V substitutions. [0175] In certain embodiments, the antibody variant comprises the following substitutions: the CH1H3 has a C at position 349, an S at position 366, an A at position 368 and a V at position 407 (EU numbering); and the CH2H3 has a C at position 354 and a W at position 366 (EU numbering). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0176] In certain embodiments, the antibody variant comprises the following substitutions: the CH2H3 has a C at position 349, an S at position 366, an A at position 368 and a V at position 407 (EU numbering); and the CH1H3 has a C at position 354 and a W at position 366 (EU numbering). [0177] In certain embodiments, the antibody variant comprises the following substitutions: the CH1H3 has a C at position 354, an S at position 366, an A at position 368 and a V at position 407 (EU numbering); and the CH2H3 has a C at position 349 and a W at position 366 (EU numbering). [0178] In certain embodiments, the antibody variant comprises the following substitutions: the CH2H3 has a C at position 354, an S at position 366, an A at position 368 and a V at position 407 (EU numbering); and the CH1H3 has a C at position 349 and a W at position 366 (EU numbering). [0179] T-CELL SURFACE ANTIGENS [0180] The present disclosure provides an antibody comprising a first antigen binding region that binds to a cell surface antigen expressed on a T-cell, a NK cell, a neutrophil, a B cell or a dendritic cell engager cell, and a second antigen binding region that binds to a disease associated antigen (DAA). In some embodiments, the cell surface antigen is expressed on a T-cell. Exemplary T-cell surface antigens include but are not limited to CD3. In some embodiments, the T-cell surface antigen is CD3. In some embodiments, the T-cell surface antigen is CD3İ. [0181] CLUSTER OF DIFFERENTIATION 3 (CD3) [0182] Provided herein are multispecific antibodies comprising a first antigen binding region that binds a first antigen (e.g. CD3İ) and a second antigen binding region that binds to a second antigen (e.g. disease associated antigen) and a third antigen binding region that binds to a third antigen (e.g. CD2). [0183] The term “cluster of differentiation 3” or “CD3,” as used herein, refers to any native CD3 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g. humans, cynomolgus monkey) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated, including, for example, CD3İ, CD3Ȗ, CD3Į, and CD3ȕ chains. CD3 is a cell surface complex expressed on T cells in association with the T cell receptor. The CD3 complex is required for the activation of CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes. It is formed of three different but highly related chains: one CD3 gamma chain, one CD3 delta chain, and two CD3 Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 epsilon chains, which associate with each other to form a CD3 epsilon/gamma heterodimer, and a CD3 epsilon/delta heterodimer. The two CD3 heterodimers, together with the T cell receptor (TCR) and the signal-transducing zeta chain homodimer form the T cell receptor complex. [0184] The term encompasses “full-length” unprocessed CD3 (e.g., unprocessed or unmodified CD3İ or CD3Ȗ), as well as any form of CD3 that results from processing in the cell. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of CD3, including, for example, splice variants or allelic variants. CD3 includes, for example, human CD3İ protein (NCBI RefSeq No. NP_000724), which is 207 amino acids in length. [0185] In some embodiments, the invention provides isolated antibodies that bind to CD3. In some embodiments, the invention provides antibodies that bind to CD3İ. In some instances, the anti-CD3İ antibody binds to a human CD3İ polypeptide or a cynomolgus monkey (cyno) CD3İ polypeptide. In some instances, the human CD3 polypeptide or the cyno CD3 polypeptide is a human CD3İ polypeptide (MQSGTHWRVLGLCLLSVGVWGQDGNEEMGGITQTPYKVSISGTTVILTCPQYPGS EILWQHNDKNIGGDEDDKNIGSDEDHLSLKEFSELEQSGYYVCYPRGSKPEDANFY LYLRARVCENCMEMDVMSVATIVIVDICITGGLLLLVYYWSKNRKAKAKPVTRGA GAGGRQRGQNKERPPPVPNPDYEPIRKGQRDLYSGLNQRRI (SEQ ID NO: 419)) or a cyno CD3İ polypeptide (MQSGTRWRVLGLCLLSIGVWGQDGNEEMGSITQTPYQVSISGTTVILTCSQHLGSE AQWQHNGKNKEDSGDRLFLPEFSEMEQSGYYVCYPRGSNPEDASHHLYLKARVC ENCMEMDVMAVATIVIVDICITLGLLLLVYYWSKNRKAKAKPVTRGAGAGGRQR GQNKERPPPVPNPDYEPIRKGQQDLYSGLNQRRI (SEQ ID NO: 420)), respectively. In some instances, the anti-CD3 antibody binds to an epitope within a fragment of CD3İ (e.g., human CD3İ) consisting of amino acid residues 1-26 or amino acid residues 1-27 of human CD3İ (SEQ ID NO: 419). [0186] A useful method for identification of residues or regions of an antibody that may be targeted for mutagenesis is called “alanine scanning mutagenesis” as described by Cunningham and Wells (1989) Science, 244:1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as Arg, Asp, His, Lys, and Glu) are identified and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (e.g., alanine or polyalanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 substitutions may be introduced at the amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Alternatively, or additionally, a crystal structure of an antigen-antibody complex is used to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and neighboring residues may be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants may be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties. [0187] Anti-CD3İ Antibodies [0188] Provided herein are anti-CD3İ antibodies with various binding affinities. In some embodiments, alanine scanning mutagenesis was performed on the “SP34” anti-CD3İ antibody to produce affinity modulated anti-CD3İ antibodies of the invention. [0189] In some embodiments, a anti-CD3İ antibody of the disclosure comprises any one of the VH and VL sequences listed in Table 7. In Table 7, the underlined sequences are CDR sequence according to Kabat and the bolded sequences are CDR sequences according to Chothia. [0190] In some embodiments, a anti-CD3İ antibody of the disclosure comprises: a) a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising a VH complementarity determining region 1 (VHCDR1), a VH complementarity determining region 2 (VHCDR2) and a VH complementarity determining region 3 (VHCDR3); and b) a light chain variable region (VL) comprising a VL complementarity determining region 1 (VLCDR1), a VL complementarity determining region 2 (VLCDR2) and a VL complementarity determining region 3 (VLCDR3).

[0241] Multispecific antibodies are antibodies (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) that have binding specificities for at least two different sites. In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 CD3İ antibody provided herein is a multispecific antibody. In certain embodiments, multispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of CD3 (e.g., CD3İ or CD3Ȗ). In certain embodiments, one of the binding specificities is for CD3 (e.g., CD3İ or CD3Ȗ) and the other is for any other antigen (e.g., a second biological molecule, e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a disease associated antigen). Accordingly, a multispecific anti-CD3 antibody may have binding specificities for CD3 and a second biological molecule, such as a second biological molecule (e.g., a disease associated antigen) listed in Table 22 and described in U.S. Pub. No.2010/0111856 and PCT Publication No. WO2016204966 A1, each of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. [0242] In some instances, the cell surface antigen (e.g. disease associated antigen) may be expressed in low copy number on the target cell (e.g. tumor cell). For example, in some instances, the cell surface antigen is expressed or present at less than 35,000 copies per target cell. In some embodiments, the low copy number cell surface antigen is present between 100 and 35,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 30,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 25,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 20,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 15,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 10,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 5,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 2,000 copies per target cell; between 100 and 1,000 copies per target cell; or between 100 and 500 copies per target cell. Copy number of the cell surface antigen can be determined, for example, using a standard Scratchcard plot. [0243] UL16 BINDING PROTEINS [0244] Exemplary UL16 binding proteins include but are not limited to ULBP1, ULBP2, ULBP3, RAET1E (ULBP4), RAET1G (ULBP5) and RAET1L (ULBP6). Defects in the regulation of ULBP1-6 are associated with diseases ranging from autoimmunity to cancer. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0245] UL16 Binding Protein 2 (ULBP2) is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule that binds to the NKG2D receptor on natural killer (NK) cells to trigger release of multiple cytokines and chemokines that in turn contribute to the recruitment and activation of NK cells. The encoded protein undergoes further processing to generate the mature protein that is either anchored to membrane via a glycosyl- phosphatidylinositol moiety, or secreted. Many malignant cells secrete the encoded protein to evade immunosurveillance by NK cells. ULBP2 is broadly and differentially expressed in multiple solid tumor indications. In particular, ULBP2 expression in melanoma and breast cancer is associated with poor prognosis and late-stage disease. [0246] Senescence is a stress-induced cellular state that limits tumorigenesis by preventing cell proliferation and promoting immune-mediated clearance of damaged cells through the induction of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) (Rodier, F. et al. Persistent DNA damage signalling triggers senescence-associated inflammatory cytokine secretion. Nat. Cell Biol. 11, 973–979 (2009)). Senescence is also implicated in age-related tissue pathologies where the accumulation of SASP-positive cells can induce tissue inflammation resulting in tissue dysfunction that manifests in aged patients as arthritis, autoimmunity, diabetes, fibrosis, and delayed wound healing (Childs, B. G. et al. Senescent cells: an emerging target for diseases of ageing. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov.16, 718–735 (2017)). SASP- positive cells express a complex assortment of both secreted and cell surface proteins including immune-activating cytokines, tissue remodeling matrix metalloprotease, and cell surface proteins that include MHCI-like NKG2D ligands that mediate the recognition and activation of NK and T cell effectors through NKG2D costimulatory receptors. These proteins together promote the elimination of senescent cells. However, age-related decline in immune cell activities and other factors like chemotherapy treatment of cancer accelerates the induction of SASP-positive cells in tissues and limits the clearance of senescent cells by the immune system (Jackola, D. R., Ruger, J. K. & Miller, R. A. Age-associated changes in human T cell phenotype and function. Aging Clin. Exp. Res.6, 25–34 (1994); Demaria, M. et al. Cellular Senescence Promotes Adverse Effects of Chemotherapy and Cancer Relapse. Cancer Discov.7, 165–176 (2017)). Therapeutic strategies to eliminate SASP-positive cells provide an opportunity to supplement senescent immunosurveillance and alleviate an underlying etiology of many age-related diseases and lasting side effects of chemotherapy. In addition, the clearance of senescent cells cannot only reduce age-related disease, but these Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 senolytic drugs also have the potential to extend life span (Baker, D. J. et al. Naturally occurring p16Ink4a-positive cells shorten healthy lifespan. Nature 530, 184–189 (2016); Baker, D. J. et al. Clearance of p16Ink4a-positive senescent cells delays ageing-associated disorders. Nature 479, 232–236 (2011)). ULBP2, an MHCI-like ligand, has emerged as a cell surface protein associated with stress-induced SASP-positive fibroblasts and cancer cells (Sagiv, A. et al. NKG2D ligands mediate immunosurveillance of senescent cells. Aging 8, 328–344 (2016); Ruscetti, M. et al. NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity contributes to tumor control by a cytostatic drug combination. Science 362, 1416–1422 (2018); Muñoz, D. P. et al. Targetable mechanisms driving immunoevasion of persistent senescent cells link chemotherapy-resistant cancer to aging. JCI Insight 5, e124716, 124716 (2019)). ULBP2 or ULBP2/5/6 targeted drugs, in addition to eradicating cancer cells, have the potential to eliminate SASP-positive cells from tissues with the potential to improve tissue function which can prevent age-related disease and extend life span. [0247] ULBP2 encompasses naturally occurring variants of ULBP2, including, for example, splice variants or allelic variants. ULBP2 includes, for example, human ULBP2 protein (UniProt ID: Q9BZM5), which is 246 amino acids in length. [0248] In one aspect, the invention provides isolated antibodies that bind to ULBP2.

See, e.g., Makabe et al., J. Biol. Chem., 283:1156-1166, 2007. Determination of CDR contact regions is well within the skill of the art. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0274] The binding affinity (KD) of the ULBP2/5/6 antibody (e.g. monospecific antibody or multispecific antibody) as described herein to ULBP2/5/6 (such as human ULBP2 (e.g., (SEQ ID NO: 421), ULBP5 (SEQ ID NO: 422), ULBP6 (SEQ ID NO: 423)) can be about 0.001 to about 5000 nM. [0275] In some embodiments, the binding affinity is about any of 5000 nM, 4500 nM, 4000 nM, 3500 nM, 3000 nM, 2500 nM, 2000 nM, 1789 nM, 1583 nM, 1540 nM, 1500 nM, 1490 nM, 1064 nM, 1000 nM, 933 nM, 894 nM, 750 nM, 705 nM, 678 nM, 532 nM, 500 nM, 494 nM, 400 nM, 349 nM, 340 nM, 353 nM, 300 nM, 250 nM, 244 nM, 231 nM, 225 nM, 207 nM, 200 nM, 186 nM, 172 nM, 136 nM, 113 nM, 104 nM, 101 nM, 100 nM, 90 nM, 83 nM, 79 nM, 74 nM, 54 nM, 50 nM, 45 nM, 42 nM, 40 nM, 35 nM, 32 nM, 30 nM, 25 nM, 24 nM, 22 nM, 20 nM, 19 nM, 18 nM, 17 nM, 16 nM, 15 nM, 12 nM, 10 nM, 9 nM, 8 nM, 7.5 nM, 7 nM, 6.5 nM, 6 nM, 5.5 nM, 5 nM, 4 nM, 3 nM, 2 nM, 1 nM, 0.5 nM, 0.3 nM, 0.1 nM, 0.01 nM, or 0.001 nM.

[0277] In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a nucleic acid encoding any of the foregoing isolated anti-ULBP2/5/6 antibodies (e.g. monospecific antibody or multispecific antibody). In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a vector comprising such a nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a host cell comprising such a nucleic acid. [0278] CLUSTER OF DIFFERENTIATION 2 (CD2) [0279] Provided herein are multispecific antibodies comprising a first antigen binding region that binds a first antigen (e.g. CD3İ) and a second antigen binding region that binds to a second antigen (e.g. disease associated antigen) and a third antigen binding region that binds to a third antigen (e.g. CD2). In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody comprises a fusion peptide (e.g. CD2 antigen binding region) fused to the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the first heavy chain polypeptide or the second heavy chain polypeptide. [0280] In some embodiments, the third antigen binding region is an anti-CD2 antibody or an antigen binding region thereof. Exemplary anti-CD2 antibodies are known in the art and include but are not limited to the anti-CD2 antibodies described in U.S. Pat. No.6,849,258, Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 CN102827281A, US 2020/0362054 A1, US 2003/0139579 A1, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,795,572, each of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. [0281] In some embodiments, the third antigen binding region is a ligand. The natural ligand for human CD2 is CD58, also known as LFA-3. CD58/LFA-3 proteins are glycoproteins that are expressed on the surfaces of a variety of cell types (Dustin et al., 1991, Annu. Rev. Immunol.9:27) and play roles in mediating T-cell interactions with APCs in both antigen-dependent and antigen-independent manners (Wallner et al., 1987, J. Exp. Med.166:923). CD58 is the primary costimulatory pathway available at the tumor site as tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes often lose expression of other costimulatory receptors like CD28, or due to the low immunogenicity of tumor cells, tumor cells do not sufficiently activate T cell. [0282] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the third antigen binding region is a CD58 polypeptide or a CD2 binding portion thereof. In some embodiments, the sequence of human CD58 has the Uniprot identifier P19256 (www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P19256). It has been established that CD58 fragments containing amino acid residues 30-123 of full length CD58 are sufficient for binding to CD2. The interactions between CD58 and CD2 have been mapped through x-ray crystallography and molecular modeling. The substitution of residues E25, K29, K30, K32, D33, K34, E37, D84 and K87 (with numbering referring to the in the mature polypeptide) reduces binding to CD2. Ikemizu et al., 1999, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96:4289-94. Accordingly, in preferred embodiments the CD58 moiety of the disclosure retains the wild type residues at E25, K29, K30, K32, D33, K34, E37, D84 and K87. In contrast, the following substitutions (with numbering referring to the full length polypeptide) did not impact binding to CD2: F29S; V37K; V49Q; V86K; T113S; and L121G. Accordingly, a CD58 peptide of the disclosure can include one, two, three, four, five or all six of the foregoing substitutions. [0283] Other exemplary CD58 polypeptides of the disclosure include but are not limited to those listed in Table 13 and Table 14. [0284] As described previously, the anti-CD3İ antibodies of the disclosure induce varying levels of T cell receptor activation that confer alteration in T cell vitality and cytokine production. Accordingly, a fusion of the costimulatory ligand CD58 to the anti-CD3İ multispecific antibody provides integrated costimulatory T cell activation for optimal T cell activation. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0285] In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody has a peptide fused to the N- terminus of the first heavy chain polypeptide (H1). In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody has a peptide fused to the C-terminus of the first heavy chain polypeptide (H1). In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody has a polypeptide fused to the N-terminus of the second heavy chain polypeptide (H2). In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody has a peptide fused to the C-terminus of the second heavy chain polypeptide (H2). Exemplary peptide sequences that are fused to the multispecific antibodies include but are not limited to those listed in Table 13 and Table 14. [0286] Table 13. Exemplary Fusion Peptide Sequences

In some embodiments, the MM1 inhibits binding of the first antigen binding region when the first cleaving moiety (CM1) is not cleaved. In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody binds to CD3 via the first antigen-binding region when the CM1 is cleaved.

In some embodiments, and the multispecific antibody binds CD3 via the first antigen-binding region with higher affinity when the CM1 is cleaved, e.g., as compared to affinity of multispecific antibody binding to CD3 via the first antigen-binding region when the CM1 is not cleaved. [0300] In some embodiments, the second masking moiety (MM2) competes with the second antigen (e.g. DAA) to bind the second antigen binding region (e.g. anti-DAA). In some embodiments, the MM2 inhibits binding of the second antigen binding region when the second cleaving moiety (CM2) is not cleaved. In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody binds to DAA via the second antigen-binding region when the CM2 is cleaved. In some embodiments, the second antigen-binding region is fused to the MM2 via a second cleavable moiety (CM2) and the MM2 inhibits binding of the multispecific antibody to DAA when the CM2 is not cleaved. In some embodiments, and the multispecific antibody binds DAA via the second antigen-binding region with higher affinity when the CM2 is cleaved, e.g., as compared to affinity of multispecific antibody binding to DAA via the second antigen-binding region when the CM2 is not cleaved. [0301] In some embodiments, the third masking moiety (MM3) competes with the third antigen (e.g. CD2) to bind the third antigen binding region (e.g. anti-CD2).

In some embodiments, the multispecific antibody binds to CD2 via the third antigen-binding region when the CM3 is cleaved. In some embodiments, the third antigen-binding region is fused to the MM3 via a third cleavable moiety (CM3) and the MM3 inhibits binding of the multispecific antibody to CD2 when the CM3 is not cleaved. In some embodiments, and the multispecific antibody binds CD2 via the third antigen-binding region with higher affinity when the CM3 is cleaved, e.g., as compared to affinity of multispecific antibody binding to CD2 via the third antigen-binding region when the CM3 is not cleaved.

[0338] METHODS OF PRODUCTION [0339] Various procedures known within the art may be used for the production of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies directed against a given target, such as, for example, ULBP2/5/6, a disease associated antigen or other target, or against derivatives, fragments, analogs homologs or orthologs thereof. (See, for example, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Harlow E, and Lane D, 1988, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, incorporated herein by reference). [0340] Antibodies are purified by well-known techniques, such as affinity chromatography using protein A or protein G, which provide primarily the IgG fraction of immune serum. Subsequently, or alternatively, the specific antigen, which is the target of the immunoglobulin sought, or an epitope thereof, may be immobilized on a column to purify the immune specific antibody by immunoaffinity chromatography. Purification of immunoglobulins is discussed, for example, by D. Wilkinson (The Scientist, published by The Scientist, Inc., Philadelphia PA, Vol.14, No.8 (April 17, 2000), pp.25-28). [0341] In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are generated, for example, by using the procedures set forth in the Examples provided herein. Antibodies are also generated, e.g., by immunizing BALB/c mice with combinations of cell transfectants expressing high levels of a given target on their surface. Hybridomas resulting from myeloma/B cell fusions are then screened for reactivity to the selected target. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0342] Monoclonal antibodies are prepared, for example, using hybridoma methods, such as those described by Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 256:495 (1975). In a hybridoma method, a mouse, hamster, or other appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes can be immunized in vitro. [0343] The immunizing agent will typically include the protein antigen, a fragment thereof or a fusion protein thereof. Generally, either peripheral blood lymphocytes are used if cells of human origin are desired, or spleen cells or lymph node cells are used if non-human mammalian sources are desired. The lymphocytes are then fused with an immortalized cell line using a suitable fusing agent, such as polyethylene glycol, to form a hybridoma cell (Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press, (1986) pp.59- 103). Immortalized cell lines are usually transformed mammalian cells, particularly myeloma cells of rodent, bovine and human origin. Usually, rat or mouse myeloma cell lines are employed. The hybridoma cells can be cultured in a suitable culture medium that preferably contains one or more substances that inhibit the growth or survival of the unfused, immortalized cells. For example, if the parental cells lack the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT), the culture medium for the hybridomas typically will include hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (“HAT medium”), which substances prevent the growth of HGPRT-deficient cells. [0344] Preferred immortalized cell lines are those that fuse efficiently, support stable high level expression of antibody by the selected antibody-producing cells, and are sensitive to a medium such as HAT medium. More preferred immortalized cell lines are murine myeloma lines, which can be obtained, for instance, from the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center, San Diego, California and the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Virginia. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines also have been described for the production of monoclonal antibodies. (See Kozbor, J. Immunol., 133:3001 (1984); Brodeur et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, (1987) pp.51-63)). [0345] The culture medium in which the hybridoma cells are cultured can then be assayed for the presence of monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen. Preferably, the binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cells is determined Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 by immunoprecipitation or by an in vitro binding assay, such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). Such techniques and assays are known in the art. The binding affinity of the monoclonal antibody can, for example, be determined by the Scatchard analysis of Munson and Pollard, Anal. Biochem., 107:220 (1980). Moreover, in therapeutic applications of monoclonal antibodies, it is important to identify antibodies having a high degree of specificity and a high binding affinity for the target antigen. [0346] After the desired hybridoma cells are identified, the clones can be subcloned by limiting dilution procedures and grown by standard methods. (See Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press, (1986) pp.59-103). Suitable culture media for this purpose include, for example, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium and RPMI-1640 medium. Alternatively, the hybridoma cells can be grown in vivo as ascites in a mammal. [0347] The monoclonal antibodies secreted by the subclones can be isolated or purified from the culture medium or ascites fluid by conventional immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography. [0348] Monoclonal antibodies can also be made by recombinant DNA methods, such as those described in U.S. Patent No.4,816,567. DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of murine antibodies). The hybridoma cells of the invention serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA can be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The DNA also can be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences (see U.S. Patent No.4,816,567; Morrison, Nature 368, 812- 13 (1994)) or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. Such a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide can be substituted for the constant domains of an antibody of the invention or Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 can be substituted for the variable domains of one antigen-combining site of an antibody of the invention to create a chimeric bivalent antibody. [0349] Monoclonal antibodies of the invention include humanized antibodies or human antibodies. These antibodies are suitable for administration to humans without engendering an immune response by the human against the administered immunoglobulin. Humanized forms of antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) that are principally comprised of the sequence of a human immunoglobulin, and contain minimal sequence derived from a non-human immunoglobulin. Humanization is performed, e.g., by following the method of Winter and co-workers (Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534- 1536 (1988)), by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. (See also U.S. Patent No.5,225,539). In some instances, Fv framework residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non- human residues. Humanized antibodies also comprise, e.g., residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody includes substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non- human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also includes at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin (Jones et al., 1986; Riechmann et al., 1988; and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2:593-596 (1992)). [0350] Fully human antibodies are antibody molecules in which the entire sequence of both the light chain and the heavy chain, including the CDRs, arise from human genes. Such antibodies are termed “human antibodies”, or “fully human antibodies” herein. Monoclonal antibodies can be prepared by using trioma technique; the human B-cell hybridoma technique (see Kozbor, et al., 1983 Immunol Today 4: 72); and the EBV hybridoma technique to produce monoclonal antibodies (see Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96). Monoclonal antibodies may be utilized and may be produced by using human hybridomas (see Cote, et al., 1983. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80: 2026-2030) or by transforming human B-cells with Epstein Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 Barr Virus in vitro (see Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96). [0351] In addition, human antibodies can also be produced using additional techniques, including phage display libraries. (See Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227:381 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581 (1991)). Similarly, human antibodies can be made by introducing human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic animals, e.g., mice in which the endogenous immunoglobulin genes have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon challenge, human antibody production is observed, which closely resembles that seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement, assembly, and antibody repertoire. This approach is described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos.5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016, and in Marks et al., Bio/Technology 10, 779- 783 (1992); Lonberg et al., Nature 368856-859 (1994); Morrison, Nature 368, 812-13 (1994); Fishwild et al, Nature Biotechnology 14, 845-51 (1996); Neuberger, Nature Biotechnology 14, 826 (1996); and Lonberg and Huszar, Intern. Rev. Immunol.1365-93 (1995). [0352] Human antibodies may additionally be produced using transgenic nonhuman animals which are modified so as to produce fully human antibodies rather than the animal’s endogenous antibodies in response to challenge by an antigen. (See PCT publication WO94/02602). The endogenous genes encoding the heavy and light immunoglobulin chains in the nonhuman host have been incapacitated, and active loci encoding human heavy and light chain immunoglobulins are inserted into the host’s genome. The human genes are incorporated, for example, using yeast artificial chromosomes containing the requisite human DNA segments. An animal which provides all the desired modifications is then obtained as progeny by crossbreeding intermediate transgenic animals containing fewer than the full complement of the modifications. An example of such a nonhuman animal is a mouse termed the XenomouseTM as disclosed in PCT publications WO 96/33735 and WO 96/34096. This animal produces B cells which secrete fully human immunoglobulins. The antibodies can be obtained directly from the animal after immunization with an immunogen of interest, as, for example, a preparation of a polyclonal antibody, or alternatively from immortalized B cells derived from the animal, such as hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies. Additionally, the genes encoding the immunoglobulins with human variable regions can be recovered and expressed to obtain the antibodies directly, or can be further Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 modified to obtain analogs of antibodies such as, for example, single chain Fv (scFv) molecules. [0353] An example of a method of producing a nonhuman host, exemplified as a mouse, lacking expression of an endogenous immunoglobulin heavy chain is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.5,939,598. It can be obtained by a method, which includes deleting the J segment genes from at least one endogenous heavy chain locus in an embryonic stem cell to prevent rearrangement of the locus and to prevent formation of a transcript of a rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain locus, the deletion being effected by a targeting vector containing a gene encoding a selectable marker; and producing from the embryonic stem cell a transgenic mouse whose somatic and germ cells contain the gene encoding the selectable marker. [0354] One method for producing an antibody of interest, such as a human antibody, is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.5,916,771. This method includes introducing an expression vector that contains a nucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain into one mammalian host cell in culture, introducing an expression vector containing a nucleotide sequence encoding a light chain into another mammalian host cell, and fusing the two cells to form a hybrid cell. The hybrid cell expresses an antibody containing the heavy chain and the light chain. [0355] In a further improvement on this procedure, a method for identifying a clinically relevant epitope on an immunogen and a correlative method for selecting an antibody that binds specifically to the relevant epitope with high affinity are disclosed in PCT publication WO 99/53049. [0356] The antibody can be expressed by a vector containing a DNA segment encoding the single chain antibody described above. [0357] These can include vectors, liposomes, naked DNA, adjuvant-assisted DNA. gene gun, catheters, etc. Vectors include chemical conjugates such as described in WO 93/64701, which has targeting moiety (e.g., a ligand to a cellular surface receptor), and a nucleic acid binding moiety (e.g., polylysine), viral vector (e.g., a DNA or RNA viral vector), fusion proteins such as described in PCT/US 95/02140 (WO 95/22618) which is a fusion protein containing a target moiety (e.g., an antibody specific for a target cell) and a nucleic acid binding moiety (e.g., a protamine), plasmids, phage, etc. The vectors can be chromosomal, non-chromosomal or synthetic. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0358] Preferred vectors include viral vectors, fusion proteins and chemical conjugates. Retroviral vectors include moloney murine leukemia viruses. DNA viral vectors are preferred. These vectors include pox vectors such as orthopox or avipox vectors, herpesvirus vectors such as a herpes simplex I virus (HSV) vector (see Geller, A. I. et al., J. Neurochem, 64:487 (1995); Lim, F., et al., in DNA Cloning: Mammalian Systems, D. Glover, Ed. (Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford England) (1995); Geller, A. I. et al., Proc Natl. Acad. Sci.: U.S.A.90:7603 (1993); Geller, A. I., et al., Proc Natl. Acad. Sci USA 87:1149 (1990), Adenovirus Vectors (see LeGal LaSalle et al., Science, 259:988 (1993); Davidson, et al., Nat. Genet 3:219 (1993); Yang, et al., J. Virol.69:2004 (1995) and Adeno-associated Virus Vectors (see Kaplitt, M. G. et al., Nat. Genet.8:148 (1994). [0359] Pox viral vectors introduce the gene into the cell’s cytoplasm. Avipox virus vectors result in only a short term expression of the nucleic acid. Adenovirus vectors, adeno- associated virus vectors and herpes simplex virus (HSV) vectors are preferred for introducing the nucleic acid into neural cells. The adenovirus vector results in a shorter term expression (about 2 months) than adeno-associated virus (about 4 months), which in turn is shorter than HSV vectors. The particular vector chosen will depend upon the target cell and the condition being treated. The introduction can be by standard techniques, e.g., infection, transfection, transduction or transformation. Examples of modes of gene transfer include e.g., naked DNA, (Ca)2(PO4)3 precipitation, DEAE dextran, electroporation, protoplast fusion, lipofection, cell microinjection, and viral vectors. [0360] The vector can be employed to target essentially any desired target cell. For example, stereotaxic injection can be used to direct the vectors (e.g., adenovirus, HSV) to a desired location. Additionally, the particles can be delivered by intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion using a minipump infusion system, such as a SynchroMed Infusion System. A method based on bulk flow, termed convection, has also proven effective at delivering large molecules to extended areas of the brain and may be useful in delivering the vector to the target cell. (See Bobo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:2076-2080 (1994); Morrison et al., Am. J. Physiol.266:292-305 (1994)). Other methods that can be used include catheters, intravenous, parenteral, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injection, and oral or other known routes of administration. [0361] Multispecific antibodies are antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. In the present case, one of the binding specificities is for a first target Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 such as CD3İ or any fragment thereof. The second binding target is a disease associated antigen such as ULBP2/5/6 or any fragment thereof. The third binding target is a CD2. [0362] Methods for making multispecific antibodies are known in the art. Traditionally, the recombinant production of multispecific antibodies is based on the co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy-chain/light-chain pairs, where the two heavy chains have different specificities (Milstein and Cuello, Nature, 305:537-539 (1983)). Because of the random assortment of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, these hybridomas (quadromas) produce a potential mixture of ten different antibody molecules, of which only one has the correct multispecific structure. The purification of the correct molecule is usually accomplished by affinity chromatography steps. Similar procedures are disclosed in WO 93/08829, published 13 May 1993, and in Traunecker et al., EMBO J., 10:3655-3659 (1991). [0363] Multispecific and/or monovalent antibodies of the invention can be made using any of a variety of art-recognized techniques, including those disclosed in co-pending application WO 2012/023053, filed August 16, 2011, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The methods described in WO 2012/023053 generate multispecific antibodies that are identical in structure to a human immunoglobulin. This type of molecule is composed of two copies of a unique heavy chain polypeptide, a first light chain variable region fused to a constant Kappa domain and second light chain variable region fused to a constant Lambda domain. Each combining site displays a different antigen specificity to which both the heavy and light chain contribute. The light chain variable regions can be of the Lambda or Kappa family and are preferably fused to a Lambda and Kappa constant domains, respectively. This is preferred in order to avoid the generation of non-natural polypeptide junctions. However, it is also possible to obtain multispecific antibodies of the invention by fusing a Kappa light chain variable domain to a constant Lambda domain for a first specificity and fusing a Lambda light chain variable domain to a constant Kappa domain for the second specificity. The multispecific antibodies described in WO 2012/023053 are referred to as IgG^^ antibodies or “^^ bodies,” a new fully human multispecific IgG format. This ^^-body format allows the affinity purification of a multispecific antibody that is undistinguishable from a standard IgG molecule with characteristics that are undistinguishable from a standard monoclonal antibody and, therefore, favorable as compared to previous formats. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0364] An essential step of the method is the identification of two antibody Fv regions (each composed by a variable light chain and variable heavy chain domain) having different antigen specificities that share the same heavy chain variable domain. Numerous methods have been described for the generation of monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof. (See, e.g., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Harlow E, and Lane D, 1988, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, incorporated herein by reference). Fully human antibodies are antibody molecules in which the sequence of both the light chain and the heavy chain, including the CDRs 1 and 2, arise from human genes. The CDR3 region can be of human origin or designed by synthetic means. Such antibodies are termed “human antibodies”, or “fully human antibodies” herein. Human monoclonal antibodies can be prepared by using the trioma technique; the human B-cell hybridoma technique (see Kozbor, et al., 1983 Immunol Today 4: 72); and the EBV hybridoma technique to produce human monoclonal antibodies (see Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96). Human monoclonal antibodies may be utilized and may be produced by using human hybridomas (see Cote, et al., 1983. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80: 2026-2030) or by transforming human B-cells with Epstein Barr Virus in vitro (see Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96). [0365] Monoclonal antibodies are generated, e.g., by immunizing an animal with a target antigen or an immunogenic fragment, derivative or variant thereof. Alternatively, the animal is immunized with cells transfected with a vector containing a nucleic acid molecule encoding the target antigen, such that the target antigen is expressed and associated with the surface of the transfected cells. A variety of techniques are well-known in the art for producing xenogenic non-human animals. For example, see U.S. Pat. No.6,075,181 and No.6,150,584, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0366] Alternatively, the antibodies are obtained by screening a library that contains antibody or antigen binding region sequences for binding to the target antigen. This library is prepared, e.g., in bacteriophage as protein or peptide fusions to a bacteriophage coat protein that is expressed on the surface of assembled phage particles and the encoding DNA sequences contained within the phage particles (i.e., “phage displayed library”). Alternatively, a library can be prepared in yeast as protein or peptide fusions to a cell wall protein on the surface of yeast cells and encoding DNA sequences contained within the Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 yeast cells (i.e. “yeast display library”). [0367] Hybridomas resulting from myeloma/B cell fusions are then screened for reactivity to the target antigen. Monoclonal antibodies are prepared, for example, using hybridoma methods, such as those described by Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 256:495 (1975). In a hybridoma method, a mouse, hamster, or other appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes can be immunized in vitro. [0368] Although not strictly impossible, the serendipitous identification of different antibodies having the same heavy chain variable domain but directed against different antigens is highly unlikely. Indeed, in most cases the heavy chain contributes largely to the antigen binding surface and is also the most variable in sequence. In particular the CDR3 on the heavy chain is the most diverse CDR in sequence, length and structure. Thus, two antibodies specific for different antigens will almost invariably carry different heavy chain variable domains. [0369] The methods disclosed in co-pending application WO 2012/023053 overcomes this limitation and greatly facilitates the isolation of antibodies having the same heavy chain variable domain by the use of antibody libraries in which the heavy chain variable domain is the same for all the library members and thus the diversity is confined to the light chain variable domain. Such libraries are described, for example, in co-pending applications WO 2010/135558 and WO 2011/084255, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, as the light chain variable domain is expressed in conjunction with the heavy variable domain, both domains can contribute to antigen binding. To further facilitate the process, antibody libraries containing the same heavy chain variable domain and either a diversity of Lambda variable light chains or Kappa variable light chains can be used in parallel for in vitro selection of antibodies against different antigens. This approach enables the identification of two antibodies having a common heavy chain but one carrying a Lambda light chain variable domain and the other a Kappa light chain variable domain that can be used as building blocks for the generation of a multispecific antibody in the full immunoglobulin format of the invention. The multispecific antibodies of the invention can be of different Isotypes and their Fc portion can be modified in order to alter the bind properties to different Fc receptors and in this way modify the effectors functions of the Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 antibody as well as it pharmacokinetic properties. Numerous methods for the modification of the Fc portion have been described and are applicable to antibodies of the invention. (see for example Strohl, WR Curr Opin Biotechnol 2009 (6):685-91; U.S. Pat. No.6,528,624; PCT/US2009/0191199 filed Jan 9, 2009). The methods of the invention can also be used to generate multispecific antibodies and antibody mixtures in a F(ab’)2 format that lacks the Fc portion. [0370] The common heavy chain and two different light chains are co-expressed into a single cell to allow for the assembly of a multispecific antibody of the invention. If all the polypeptides get expressed at the same level and get assembled equally well to form an immunoglobulin molecule then the ratio of monospecific (same light chains) and multispecific (two different light chains) should be 50%. However, it is likely that different light chains are expressed at different levels and/or do not assemble with the same efficiency. Therefore, a means to modulate the relative expression of the different polypeptides is used to compensate for their intrinsic expression characteristics or different propensities to assemble with the common heavy chain. This modulation can be achieved via promoter strength, the use of internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) featuring different efficiencies or other types of regulatory elements that can act at transcriptional or translational levels as well as acting on mRNA stability. Different promoters of different strength could include CMV (Immediate-early Cytomegalovirus virus promoter); EF1-1Į (Human elongation factor 1Į-subunit promoter); Ubc (Human ubiquitin C promoter); SV40 (Simian virus 40 promoter). Different IRES have also been described from mammalian and viral origin. (See e.g., Hellen CU and Sarnow P. Genes Dev 200115: 1593–612). These IRES can greatly differ in their length and ribosome recruiting efficiency. Furthermore, it is possible to further tune the activity by introducing multiple copies of an IRES (Stephen et al.2000 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97: 1536-1541). The modulation of the expression can also be achieved by multiple sequential transfections of cells to increase the copy number of individual genes expressing one or the other light chain and thus modify their relative expressions. The Examples provided herein demonstrate that controlling the relative expression of the different chains is critical for maximizing the assembly and overall yield of the multispecific antibody. [0371] The co-expression of the heavy chain and two light chains generates a mixture of three different antibodies into the cell culture supernatant: two monospecific bivalent Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 antibodies and one multispecific bivalent antibody. The latter has to be purified from the mixture to obtain the molecule of interest. The method described herein greatly facilitates this purification procedure by the use of affinity chromatography media that specifically interact with the Kappa or Lambda light chain constant domains such as the CaptureSelect Fab Kappa and CaptureSelect Fab Lambda affinity matrices (BAC BV, Holland). This multi-step affinity chromatography purification approach is efficient and generally applicable to antibodies of the invention. This is in sharp contrast to specific purification methods that have to be developed and optimized for each multispecific antibodies derived from quadromas or other cell lines expressing antibody mixtures. Indeed, if the biochemical characteristics of the different antibodies in the mixtures are similar, their separation using standard chromatography technique such as ion exchange chromatography can be challenging or not possible at all. [0372] Other suitable purification methods include those disclosed in co-pending application PCT/IB2012/003028, filed on October 19, 2012, published as WO2013/088259, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. [0373] In other embodiments of producing multispecific antibodies, antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities (antibody-antigen combining sites) can be fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. The fusion preferably is with an immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant domain, comprising at least part of the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. It is preferred to have the first heavy-chain constant region (CH1) containing the site necessary for light-chain binding present in at least one of the fusions. DNAs encoding the immunoglobulin heavy-chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors, and are co- transfected into a suitable host organism. For further details of generating multispecific antibodies see, for example, Suresh et al., Methods in Enzymology, 121:210 (1986). [0374] According to another approach described in WO 96/27011, the interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to maximize the percentage of heterodimers which are recovered from recombinant cell culture. The preferred interface includes at least a part of the CH3 region of an antibody constant domain. In this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first antibody molecule are replaced with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory “cavities” of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created on the interface of the second antibody Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 molecule by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g., alanine or threonine). This provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of the heterodimer over other unwanted end-products such as homodimers. [0375] Techniques for generating multispecific antibodies from antibody fragments have been described in the literature. For example, multispecific antibodies can be prepared using chemical linkage. The multispecific antibodies produced can be used as agents for the selective immobilization of enzymes. [0376] Various techniques for making and isolating multispecific antibody fragments directly from recombinant cell culture have also been described. For example, multispecific antibodies have been produced using leucine zippers. Kostelny et al., J. Immunol. 148(5):1547-1553 (1992). The leucine zipper peptides from the Fos and Jun proteins were linked to the Fab’ portions of two different antibodies by gene fusion. The antibody homodimers were reduced at the hinge region to form monomers and then re-oxidized to form the antibody heterodimers. This method can also be utilized for the production of antibody homodimers. The “diabody” technology described by Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448 (1993) has provided an alternative mechanism for making multispecific antibody fragments. The fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light-chain variable domain (VL) by a linker which is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. Accordingly, the VH and VL domains of one fragment are forced to pair with the complementary VL and VH domains of another fragment, thereby forming two antigen-binding sites. Another strategy for making multispecific antibody fragments by the use of single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers has also been reported. See, Gruber et al., J. Immunol.152:5368 (1994). [0377] Antibodies with more than two valencies are contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. Tutt et al., J. Immunol.147:60 (1991). [0378] Exemplary multispecific antibodies can bind to two different epitopes, at least one of which originates in the protein antigen of the invention. Alternatively, an anti-antigenic arm of an immunoglobulin molecule can be combined with an arm which binds to a triggering molecule on a leukocyte such as a T-cell receptor molecule (e.g., CD2, CD3, CD28, or B7), or Fc receptors for IgG (FcȖR), such as FcȖRI (CD64), FcȖRII (CD32) and FcȖRIII (CD16) so as to focus cellular defense mechanisms to the cell expressing the particular antigen. Multispecific antibodies can also be used to direct cytotoxic agents to cells which express a Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 particular antigen. These antibodies possess an antigen-binding arm and an arm which binds a cytotoxic agent or a radionuclide chelator, such as EOTUBE, DPTA, DOTA, or TETA. Another multispecific antibody of interest binds the protein antigen described herein and further binds tissue factor (TF). [0379] Heteroconjugate antibodies are also within the scope of the present invention. Heteroconjugate antibodies are composed of two covalently joined antibodies. Such antibodies have, for example, been proposed to target immune system cells to unwanted cells (see U.S. Patent No.4,676,980), and for treatment of HIV infection (see WO 91/00360; WO 92/200373; EP 03089). It is contemplated that the antibodies can be prepared in vitro using known methods in synthetic protein chemistry, including those involving crosslinking agents. For example, immunotoxins can be constructed using a disulfide exchange reaction or by forming a thioether bond. Examples of suitable reagents for this purpose include iminothiolate and methyl-4-mercaptobutyrimidate and those disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No.4,676,980. [0380] It can be desirable to modify the antibody of the invention with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, e.g., the effectiveness of the antibody in treating cancer and/or other diseases and disorders associated with aberrant ULBP2/5/6 expression and/or activity. For example, cysteine residue(s) can be introduced into the Fc region, thereby allowing interchain disulfide bond formation in this region. The homodimeric antibody thus generated can have improved internalization capability and/or increased complement- mediated cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). (See Caron et al., J. Exp Med., 176: 1191-1195 (1992) and Shopes, J. Immunol., 148: 2918-2922 (1992)). Alternatively, an antibody can be engineered that has dual Fc regions and can thereby have enhanced complement lysis and ADCC capabilities. (See Stevenson et al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design, 3: 219-230 (1989)). [0381] The invention also pertains to immunoconjugates comprising an antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent such as a toxin (e.g., an enzymatically active toxin of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments thereof), or a radioactive isotope (i.e., a radioconjugate). [0382] Enzymatically active toxins and fragments thereof that can be used include diphtheria A chain, nonbinding active fragments of diphtheria toxin, exotoxin A chain (from Pseudomonas aeruginosa), ricin A chain, abrin A chain, modeccin A chain, alpha-sarcin, Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 Aleurites fordii proteins, dianthin proteins, Phytolaca americana proteins (PAPI, PAPII, and PAP-S), momordica charantia inhibitor, curcin, crotin, sapaonaria officinalis inhibitor, gelonin, mitogellin, restrictocin, phenomycin, enomycin, and the tricothecenes. A variety of radionuclides are available for the production of radioconjugated antibodies. Examples include212Bi,131I,131In,90Y, and186Re. [0383] Conjugates of the antibody and cytotoxic agent are made using a variety of bifunctional protein-coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate (SPDP), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCL), active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutareldehyde), bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine), bis- diazonium derivatives (such as bis-(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as tolyene 2,6-diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as 1,5-difluoro- 2,4-dinitrobenzene). For example, a ricin immunotoxin can be prepared as described in Vitetta et al., Science 238: 1098 (1987). Carbon-14-labeled 1-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3- methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of radionucleotide to the antibody. (See WO94/11026). [0384] Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that a large variety of possible moieties can be coupled to the resultant antibodies of the invention. (See, for example, “Conjugate Vaccines”, Contributions to Microbiology and Immunology, J. M. Cruse and R. E. Lewis, Jr (eds), Carger Press, New York, (1989), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference). [0385] Coupling may be accomplished by any chemical reaction that will bind the two molecules so long as the antibody and the other moiety retain their respective activities. This linkage can include many chemical mechanisms, for instance covalent binding, affinity binding, intercalation, coordinate binding and complexation. The preferred binding is, however, covalent binding. Covalent binding can be achieved either by direct condensation of existing side chains or by the incorporation of external bridging molecules. Many bivalent or polyvalent linking agents are useful in coupling protein molecules, such as the antibodies of the present invention, to other molecules. For example, representative coupling agents can include organic compounds such as thioesters, carbodiimides, succinimide esters, diisocyanates, glutaraldehyde, diazobenzenes and hexamethylene diamines. This listing is not intended to be exhaustive of the various classes of coupling Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 agents known in the art but, rather, is exemplary of the more common coupling agents. (See Killen and Lindstrom, Jour. Immun.133:1335-2549 (1984); Jansen et al., Immunological Reviews 62:185-216 (1982); and Vitetta et al., Science 238:1098 (1987). [0386] Preferred linkers are described in the literature. (See, for example, Ramakrishnan, S. et al., Cancer Res.44:201-208 (1984) describing use of MBS (M-maleimidobenzoyl-N- hydroxysuccinimide ester). See also, U.S. Patent No.5,030,719, describing use of halogenated acetyl hydrazide derivative coupled to an antibody by way of an oligopeptide linker. Particularly preferred linkers include: (i) EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride; (ii) SMPT (4-succinimidyloxycarbonyl-alpha-methyl-alpha-(2- pridyl-dithio)-toluene (Pierce Chem. Co., Cat. (21558G); (iii) SPDP (succinimidyl-6 [3-(2- pyridyldithio) propionamido]hexanoate (Pierce Chem. Co., Cat #21651G); (iv) Sulfo-LC- SPDP (sulfosuccinimidyl 6 [3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propianamide] hexanoate (Pierce Chem. Co. Cat. #2165-G); and (v) sulfo-NHS (N-hydroxysulfo-succinimide: Pierce Chem. Co., Cat. #24510) conjugated to EDC. [0387] The linkers described above contain components that have different attributes, thus leading to conjugates with differing physio-chemical properties. For example, sulfo-NHS esters of alkyl carboxylates are more stable than sulfo-NHS esters of aromatic carboxylates. NHS-ester containing linkers are less soluble than sulfo-NHS esters. Further, the linker SMPT contains a sterically hindered disulfide bond, and can form conjugates with increased stability. Disulfide linkages, are in general, less stable than other linkages because the disulfide linkage is cleaved in vitro, resulting in less conjugate available. Sulfo-NHS, in particular, can enhance the stability of carbodimide couplings. Carbodimide couplings (such as EDC) when used in conjunction with sulfo-NHS, forms esters that are more resistant to hydrolysis than the carbodimide coupling reaction alone. [0388] The antibodies disclosed herein can also be formulated as immunoliposomes. Liposomes containing the antibody are prepared by methods known in the art, such as described in Epstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 82: 3688 (1985); Hwang et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 77: 4030 (1980); and U.S. Pat. Nos.4,485,045 and 4,544,545. Liposomes with enhanced circulation time are disclosed in U.S. Patent No.5,013,556. [0389] Particularly useful liposomes can be generated by the reverse-phase evaporation method with a lipid composition comprising phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PEG- derivatized phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE). Liposomes are extruded through filters of Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 defined pore size to yield liposomes with the desired diameter. Fab' fragments of the antibody of the present invention can be conjugated to the liposomes as described in Martin et al., J. Biol. Chem., 257: 286-288 (1982) via a disulfide-interchange reaction. [0390] METHODS OF USE [0391] Any of the anti-CD3İ antibodies of the invention (e.g., multispecific anti-CD3 antibodies of the invention that bind to CD3İ, and a second biological molecule, e.g., a disease associated antigen), may be used in therapeutic methods. [0392] In one aspect, an anti-CD3 antibody (e.g. multispecific anti-CD3 and ULBP2 antibody) for use as a medicament is provided. In further aspects, an anti-CD3 antibody for use in treating or delaying progression of a cell proliferative disorder (e.g., cancer, e.g., esophageal cancer or an adenocarcinoma) or an autoimmune disorder (e.g., arthritis) is provided. In some aspects, an anti-CD3 antibody for use in treating or delaying aged related diseases is provided. [0393] In certain embodiments, an anti-CD3İ antibody for use in a method of treatment is provided. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an anti-CD3İ antibody for use in a method of treating an individual having a cell proliferative disorder or an autoimmune disorder comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of the anti-CD3İ antibody. In one such embodiment, the method further comprises administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, for example, as described below. In further embodiments, the invention provides an anti-CD3İ antibody for use in enhancing immune function in an individual having a cell proliferative disorder or an autoimmune disorder. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an anti-CD3İ antibody for use in a method of enhancing immune function in an individual having a cell proliferative disorder or an autoimmune disorder comprising administering to the individual an effective of the anti-CD3İ antibody to activate effector cells (e.g., T cells, e.g., CD8+ and/or CD4+ T cells), expand (increase) an effector cell population, reduce a target cell (e.g., a cell expressing a second biological molecule recognized by an anti-CD3İ antibody of the invention, such as a multispecific anti-CD3İ and ULBP2/5/6 antibody of the invention) population, and/or kill a target cell (e.g., target tumor cell). An "individual" according to any of the above embodiments may be a human.

[0399] In a further aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising any of the anti-CD3İ antibodies provided herein, e.g., for use in any of the above therapeutic methods. In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation comprises any of Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 the anti-CD3İ antibodies provided herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation comprises any of the anti-CD3İ antibodies provided herein and at least one additional therapeutic agent, for example, as described herein. [0400] Antibodies of the invention can be used either alone or in combination with other agents in a therapy. For instance, an antibody of the invention may be co-administered with at least one additional therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, an additional therapeutic agent is a chemotherapeutic agent, growth inhibitory agent, cytotoxic agent, agent used in radiation therapy, anti-angiogenesis agent, apoptotic agent, anti-tubulin agent, or other agent, such as a epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist (e.g., a tyrosine kinase inhibitor), HER1/EGFR inhibitor (e.g., erlotinib (Tarceva™), platelet derived growth factor inhibitor (e.g., Gleevec™ (Imatinib Mesylate)), a COX-2 inhibitor (e.g., celecoxib), interferon, cytokine, antibody other than the anti-CD3 antibody of the invention, such as an antibody that bind to one or more of the following targets ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, PDGFR- beta, BlyS, APRIL, BCMA VEGF, or VEGF receptor(s), TRAIL/Apo2, PD-1 (e.g. Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Cemiplimab), PD-L1 (Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab), PD-L2, or another bioactive or organic chemical agent. In some embodiments, the invention provides a method wherein the additional therapeutic agent is a glucocorticoid. In one embodiment, the glucocorticoid is dexamethasone. [0401] Such combination therapies noted above encompass combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the antibody of the invention can occur prior to, simultaneously, and/or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent or agents. In one embodiment, administration of the anti-CD3İ antibody and administration of an additional therapeutic agent occur within about one month, or within about one, two or three weeks, or within about one, two, three, four, five, or six days, of each other. Anti-CD3İ antibodies of the invention (e.g., multispecific anti-CD3İ antibodies of the invention that bind to CD3İ and a second biological molecule, e.g., a disease associated antigen) can also be used in combination with radiation therapy. [0402] An antibody of the invention (and/or any additional therapeutic agent) can be administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, the antibody is administered by subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, an anti-CD3İ antibody administered by subcutaneous injection exhibits a less toxic response in a patient than the same anti-CD3İ antibody administered by intravenous injection. Dosing can be by any suitable route, for example, by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein. [0403] Antibodies of the invention would be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The antibody need not be, but is optionally formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as described herein, or about from 1 to 99% of the dosages described herein, or in any dosage and by any route that is empirically/clinically determined to be appropriate. [0404] For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of an antibody of the invention (when used alone or in combination with one or more other additional therapeutic agents) will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the type of antibody, the severity and course of the disease, whether the antibody is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments. [0405] As a general proposition, the therapeutically effective amount of the anti-CD3İ antibody (e.g. multispecific anti-CD3İ and ULBP2/5/6 antibody) administered to human will be in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg of patient body weight whether by one or more administrations. In some embodiments, the antibody used is about 0.01 to about 45 Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 40 mg kg, about 0.01 to about 35 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 30 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 20 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 15 mg kg, about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg, or about 0.01 to about 1 mg/kg administered daily, for example. In one embodiment, an anti-CD3İ antibody described herein is administered to a human at a dose of about 100 mg, about 200 mg, about 300 mg, about 400 mg, about 500 mg, about 600 mg, about 700 mg, about 800 mg, about 900 mg, about 1000 mg, about 1100 mg, about 1200 mg, about 1300 mg or about 1400 mg on day 1 of 21 -day cycles. The dose may be administered as a single dose or as multiple doses (e.g., 2 or 3 doses), such as infusions. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment would generally be sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. One exemplary dosage of the antibody would be in the range from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg. Thus, one or more doses of about 0.5 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 4.0 mg kg, or 10 mg/kg (or any combination thereof) may be administered to the patient. Such doses may be administered intermittently, for example, every week or every three weeks (e.g., such that the patient receives from about two to about twenty, or, for example, about six doses of the anti-CD3İ antibody). An initial higher loading dose, followed by one or more lower doses may be administered. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays. [0406] In some embodiments, the methods may further comprise an additional therapy. The additional therapy may be radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, gene therapy, DMA therapy, viral therapy, RNA therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, nanotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, or a combination of the foregoing. The additional therapy may be in the form of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is the administration of small molecule enzymatic inhibitor or anti-metastatic agent. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is the administration of side-effect limiting agents (e.g., agents intended to lessen the occurrence and/or severity of side effects of treatment, such as anti-nausea agents, etc.). In some embodiments, the additional therapy is radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is a combination of radiation therapy and surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is gamma irradiation. In some embodiments, the additional therapy may be a separate administration of one or more of the therapeutic agents described above. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0407] It will be appreciated that administration of therapeutic entities in accordance with the invention will be administered with suitable carriers, excipients, and other agents that are incorporated into formulations to provide improved transfer, delivery, tolerance, and the like. A multitude of appropriate formulations can be found in the formulary known to all pharmaceutical chemists: Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (15th ed, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA (1975)), particularly Chapter 87 by Blaug, Seymour, therein. These formulations include, for example, powders, pastes, ointments, jellies, waxes, oils, lipids, lipid (cationic or anionic) containing vesicles (such as Lipofectin™), DNA conjugates, anhydrous absorption pastes, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, emulsions carbowax (polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights), semi-solid gels, and semi-solid mixtures containing carbowax. Any of the foregoing mixtures may be appropriate in treatments and therapies in accordance with the present invention, provided that the active ingredient in the formulation is not inactivated by the formulation and the formulation is physiologically compatible and tolerable with the route of administration.

[0408] Therapeutic formulations of the invention, which include an antibody of the invention, are used to treat or alleviate a symptom associated with a cancer, such as, by way of non-limiting example, leukemias, lymphomas, breast cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, glioma, lung & bronchial cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, urinary bladder cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, oral cavity & pharynx cancer, uterine corpus cancer, and/or melanoma The present invention also provides methods of treating or alleviating a symptom associated with a cancer. A therapeutic regimen is carried out by identifying a subject, e.g., a human patient suffering from (or at risk of developing) a cancer, using standard methods. [0409] Efficaciousness of treatment is determined in association with any known method for diagnosing or treating the particular immune-related disorder. Alleviation of one or more Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 symptoms of the immune-related disorder indicates that the antibody confers a clinical benefit. [0410] Methods for the screening of antibodies that possess the desired specificity include, but are not limited to, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and other immunologically mediated techniques known within the art. [0411] Antibodies directed against a target such as CD3İ, ULBP2/5/6, or a combination thereof (or a fragment thereof), may be used in methods known within the art relating to the localization and/or quantitation of these targets, e.g., for use in measuring levels of these targets within appropriate physiological samples, for use in diagnostic methods, for use in imaging the protein, and the like). In a given embodiment, antibodies specific any of these targets, or derivative, fragment, analog or homolog thereof, that contain the antibody derived antigen binding region, are utilized as pharmacologically active compounds (referred to hereinafter as “Therapeutics”). [0412] An antibody of the invention can be used to isolate a particular target using standard techniques, such as immunoaffinity, chromatography or immunoprecipitation. Antibodies of the invention (or a fragment thereof) can be used diagnostically to monitor protein levels in tissue as part of a clinical testing procedure, e.g., to determine the efficacy of a given treatment regimen. Detection can be facilitated by coupling (i.e., physically linking) the antibody to a detectable substance. Examples of detectable substances include various enzymes, prosthetic groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials, bioluminescent materials, and radioactive materials. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, ȕ-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase; examples of suitable prosthetic group complexes include streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin; examples of suitable fluorescent materials include umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin; an example of a luminescent material includes luminol; examples of bioluminescent materials include luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin, and examples of suitable radioactive material include125I,131I,35S or3H. [0413] Antibodies of the invention, including polyclonal, monoclonal, humanized and fully human antibodies, may be used as therapeutic agents. Such agents will generally be employed to treat or prevent a disease or pathology associated with aberrant expression or activation of a given target in a subject. An antibody preparation, preferably one having Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 high specificity and high affinity for its target antigen, is administered to the subject and will generally have an effect due to its binding with the target. Administration of the antibody may abrogate or inhibit or interfere with the signaling function of the target. Administration of the antibody may abrogate or inhibit or interfere with the binding of the target with an endogenous ligand to which it naturally binds. [0414] A therapeutically effective amount of an antibody of the invention relates generally to the amount needed to achieve a therapeutic objective. As noted above, this may be a binding interaction between the antibody and its target antigen that, in certain cases, interferes with the functioning of the target. The amount required to be administered will furthermore depend on the binding affinity of the antibody for its specific antigen and will also depend on the rate at which an administered antibody is depleted from the free volume other subject to which it is administered. Common ranges for therapeutically effective dosing of an antibody or antibody fragment of the invention may be, by way of nonlimiting example, from about 0.1 mg/kg body weight to about 50 mg/kg body weight. Common dosing frequencies may range, for example, from twice daily to once a week. [0415] Antibodies or a fragment thereof of the invention can be administered for the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. Principles and considerations involved in preparing such compositions, as well as guidance in the choice of components are provided, for example, in Remington: The Science And Practice Of Pharmacy 19th ed. (Alfonso R. Gennaro, et al., editors) Mack Pub. Co., Easton, Pa.: 1995; Drug Absorption Enhancement: Concepts, Possibilities, Limitations, And Trends, Harwood Academic Publishers, Langhorne, Pa., 1994; and Peptide And Protein Drug Delivery (Advances In Parenteral Sciences, Vol.4), 1991, M. Dekker, New York. [0416] Where antibody fragments are used, the smallest inhibitory fragment that specifically binds to the binding domain of the target protein is preferred. For example, based upon the variable-region sequences of an antibody, peptide molecules can be designed that retain the ability to bind the target protein sequence. Such peptides can be synthesized chemically and/or produced by recombinant DNA technology. (See, e.g., Marasco et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90: 7889-7893 (1993)). The formulation can also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. Alternatively, or in addition, the composition can comprise an agent that enhances its Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 function, such as, for example, a cytotoxic agent, cytokine, chemotherapeutic agent, or growth-inhibitory agent. Such molecules are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended. [0417] The active ingredients can also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacrylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles, and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. [0418] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. [0419] Sustained-release preparations can be prepared. Suitable examples of sustained- release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)), polylactides (U.S. Pat. No.3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and Ȗ ethyl-L-glutamate, non-degradable ethylene-vinyl acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOTTM (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate), and poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. While polymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate and lactic acid-glycolic acid enable release of molecules for over 100 days, certain hydrogels release proteins for shorter time periods. [0420] An antibody according to the invention can be used as an agent for detecting the presence of a given target (or a protein fragment thereof) in a sample. In some embodiments, the antibody contains a detectable label. Antibodies are polyclonal, or more preferably, monoclonal. An intact antibody, or a fragment thereof (e.g., Fab, scFv, or F(ab)2) is used. The term “labeled”, with regard to the probe or antibody, is intended to encompass direct labeling of the probe or antibody by coupling (i.e., physically linking) a detectable substance to the probe or antibody, as well as indirect labeling of the probe or antibody by reactivity with another reagent that is directly labeled. Examples of indirect labeling include detection of a primary antibody using a fluorescently-labeled secondary antibody and end- labeling of a DNA probe with biotin such that it can be detected with fluorescently-labeled Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 streptavidin. The term “biological sample” is intended to include tissues, cells and biological fluids isolated from a subject, as well as tissues, cells and fluids present within a subject. Included within the usage of the term “biological sample”, therefore, is blood and a fraction or component of blood including blood serum, blood plasma, or lymph. That is, the detection method of the invention can be used to detect an analyte mRNA, protein, or genomic DNA in a biological sample in vitro as well as in vivo. For example, in vitro techniques for detection of an analyte mRNA include Northern hybridizations and in situ hybridizations. In vitro techniques for detection of an analyte protein include enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), Western blots, immunoprecipitations, and immunofluorescence. In vitro techniques for detection of an analyte genomic DNA include Southern hybridizations. Procedures for conducting immunoassays are described, for example in “ELISA: Theory and Practice: Methods in Molecular Biology”, Vol.42, J. R. Crowther (Ed.) Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 1995; “Immunoassay”, E. Diamandis and T. Christopoulus, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, CA, 1996; and “Practice and Theory of Enzyme Immunoassays”, P. Tijssen, Elsevier Science Publishers, Amsterdam, 1985. Furthermore, in vivo techniques for detection of an analyte protein include introducing into a subject a labeled anti-analyte protein antibody. For example, the antibody can be labeled with a radioactive marker whose presence and location in a subject can be detected by standard imaging techniques. [0421] PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS [0422] The antibodies of the invention (also referred to herein as “active compounds”), and derivatives, fragments, analogs and homologs thereof, can be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration. Such compositions typically comprise the antibody and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like, compatible with pharmaceutical administration. Suitable carriers are described in the most recent edition of Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, a standard reference text in the field, which is incorporated herein by reference. Preferred examples of such carriers or diluents include, but are not limited to, water, saline, ringer’s solutions, dextrose solution, and 5% human serum albumin. Liposomes and non-aqueous vehicles such as fixed oils may also be used. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active compound, use thereof in the compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active compounds can also be incorporated into the compositions. [0423] A pharmaceutical composition of the invention is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (i.e., topical), transmucosal, and rectal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates, and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. [0424] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringeability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as manitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. [0425] Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. [0426] Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an edible carrier. They can be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules. Oral compositions can also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash, wherein the compound in the fluid carrier is applied orally and swished and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. [0427] For administration by inhalation, the compounds are delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser which contains a suitable propellant, e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer. [0428] Systemic administration can also be by transmucosal or transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal administration can be accomplished through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compounds are formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams as generally known in the art. [0429] The compounds can also be prepared in the form of suppositories (e.g., with conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter and other glycerides) or retention enemas for rectal delivery. [0430] In one embodiment, the active compounds are prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The materials can also be obtained commercially from Alza Corporation and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Liposomal suspensions (including liposomes targeted to infected cells with monoclonal antibodies to viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Patent No.4,522,811. [0431] It is especially advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of individuals. [0432] The pharmaceutical compositions can be included in a container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions for administration. [0433] The invention will be further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0434] DEFINITIONS [0435] Unless otherwise defined, scientific and technical terms used in connection with the present invention shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Further, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities and plural terms shall include the singular. Generally, nomenclatures utilized in connection with, and techniques of, cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, and protein and oligo- or polynucleotide chemistry and hybridization described herein are those well-known and commonly used in the art. Standard techniques are used for recombinant DNA, oligonucleotide synthesis, and tissue culture and transformation (e.g., electroporation, lipofection). Enzymatic reactions and purification techniques are performed according to manufacturer's specifications or as commonly accomplished in the art or as described herein. The foregoing techniques and procedures are generally performed according to conventional methods well known in the art and as described in various general and more specific references that are cited and discussed throughout the present specification. See e.g., Sambrook et al. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (2d ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989)). The nomenclatures utilized in connection with, and the laboratory procedures and techniques of, analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry described herein are those well-known and commonly used in the art. Standard techniques are used for chemical syntheses, chemical analyses, pharmaceutical preparation, formulation, and delivery, and treatment of patients. [0436] As utilized in accordance with the present disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings: [0437] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules,
Figure imgf000148_0001
molecules that contain an antigen binding site that specifically binds (immunoreacts with) an antigen. By “specifically bind” or “immunoreacts with” or “immunospecifically bind” is meant that the antibody reacts with one or more antigenic determinants of the desired antigen and does not react with other polypeptides or binds at much lower affinity (Kd > 10-6). Antibodies include, but are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, chimeric, dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab’ and F(ab')2 fragments, scFvs, and an Fab expression library. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0438] The basic antibody structural unit is known to comprise a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kDa) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain includes a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. In general, antibody molecules obtained from humans relate to any of the classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD, which differ from one another by the nature of the heavy chain present in the molecule. Certain classes have subclasses as well, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG4 and others. Furthermore, in humans, the light chain may be a kappa chain or a lambda chain. [0439] The term “monoclonal antibody” (MAb) or “monoclonal antibody composition”, as used herein, refers to a population of antibody molecules that contain only one molecular species of antibody molecule consisting of a unique light chain gene product and a unique heavy chain gene product. In particular, the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of the monoclonal antibody are identical in all the molecules of the population. MAbs contain an antigen binding site capable of immunoreacting with a particular epitope of the antigen characterized by a unique binding affinity for it. [0440] The term “antigen binding region” or “antigen binding region” or “antigen-binding site” or “binding portion” refers to the part of the immunoglobulin molecule that participates in antigen binding. The antigen binding site is formed by amino acid residues of the N-terminal variable (“V”) regions of the heavy (“H”) and light (“L”) chains. Three highly divergent stretches within the V regions of the heavy and light chains, referred to as “hypervariable regions,” are interposed between more conserved flanking stretches known as “framework regions,” or “FRs”. Thus, the term “FR” refers to amino acid sequences which are naturally found between, and adjacent to, hypervariable regions in immunoglobulins. In an antibody molecule, the three hypervariable regions of a light chain and the three hypervariable regions of a heavy chain are disposed relative to each other in three dimensional space to form an antigen-binding surface. The antigen-binding surface is complementary to the three-dimensional surface of a bound antigen, and the three hypervariable regions of each of the heavy and light chains are referred to as “complementarity-determining regions,” or “CDRs.” Various methods are known in the art for numbering the amino acids sequences of antibodies and identification of the Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 complementary determining regions. For example, the Kabat numbering system (See Kabat, E.A., et al., Sequences of Protein of immunological interest, Fifth Edition, US Department of Health and Human Services, US Government Printing Office (1991)) or the IMGT numbering system (See IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system®. Available online: http://www.imgt.org/). The IMGT numbering system is routinely used and accepted as a reliable and accurate system in the art to determine amino acid positions in coding sequences, alignment of alleles, and to easily compare sequences in immunoglobulin (IG) and T-cell receptor (TR) from all vertebrate species. The accuracy and the consistency of the IMGT data are based on IMGT-ONTOLOGY, the first, and so far unique, ontology for immunogenetics and immunoinformatics (See Lefranc. M.P. et al., Biomolecules, 2014 Dec; 4(4), 1102-1139). IMGT tools and databases run against IMGT reference directories built from a large repository of sequences. In the IMGT system the IG V-DOMAIN and IG C-DOMAIN are delimited taking into account the exon delimitation, whenever appropriate. Therefore, the availability of more sequences to the IMGT database, the IMGT exon numbering system can be and “is used” by those skilled in the art reliably to determine amino acid positions in coding sequences and for alignment of alleles. Additionally, correspondences between the IMGT unique numbering with other numberings (i.e., Kabat) are available in the IMGT Scientific chart (See Lefranc. M.P. et al., Biomolecules, 2014 Dec; 4(4), 1102-1139). [0441] The term "hypervariable region" or “variable region” refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody that are typically responsible for antigen-binding. The hypervariable region generally comprises amino acid residues from a "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" (e.g., around about residues 24-34 (LI), 50-56 (L2) and 89-97 (L3) in the VL, and around about 31-35 (HI), 50-65 (H2) and 95-102 (H3) in the VH when numbered in accordance with the Kabat numbering system; Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)); and/or those residues from a "hypervariable loop" (e.g., residues 24- 34 (LI), 50-56 (L2) and 89-97 (L3) in the VL, and 26-32 (HI), 52-56 (H2) and 95-101 (H3) in the VH when numbered in accordance with the Chothia numbering system; Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol.196:901-917 (1987)); and/or those residues from a "hypervariable loop" VCDR (e.g., residues 27-38 (LI), 56-65 (L2) and 105-120 (L3) in the VL, and 27-38 (HI), 56-65 (H2) and 105-120 (H3) in the VH when numbered in accordance with Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 the IMGT numbering system; Lefranc, M.P. et al. Nucl. Acids Res.27:209-212 (1999), Ruiz, M. e al. Nucl. Acids Res.28:219-221 (2000)). Optionally, the antibody has symmetrical insertions at one or more of the following points 28, 36 (LI), 63, 74-75 (L2) and 123 (L3) in the VL, and 28, 36 (HI), 63, 74-75 (H2) and 123 (H3) in the VH when numbered in accordance with AHo; Honneger, A. and Plunkthun, A. J. Mol. Biol.309:657- 670 (2001)). [0442] As used herein, the term “epitope” includes any protein determinant capable of specific binding to an immunoglobulin, an scFv, or a T-cell receptor. The term “epitope” includes any protein determinant capable of specific binding to an immunoglobulin or T- cell receptor. Epitopic determinants usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually have specific three dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. For example, antibodies may be raised against N-terminal or C-terminal peptides of a polypeptide. An antibody is the to specifically bind an antigen when the dissociation constant is ^ 1 μM; e.g., ^ 100 nM, preferably ^ 10 nM and more preferably ^ 1 nM. [0443] As used herein, the terms “immunological binding,” and “immunological binding properties” refer to the non-covalent interactions of the type which occur between an immunoglobulin molecule and an antigen for which the immunoglobulin is specific. The strength, or affinity of immunological binding interactions can be expressed in terms of the dissociation constant (Kd) of the interaction, wherein a smaller Kd represents a greater affinity. Immunological binding properties of selected polypeptides can be quantified using methods well known in the art. One such method entails measuring the rates of antigen- binding site/antigen complex formation and dissociation, wherein those rates depend on the concentrations of the complex partners, the affinity of the interaction, and geometric parameters that equally influence the rate in both directions. Thus, both the “on rate constant” (Kon) and the “off rate constant” (Koff) can be determined by calculation of the concentrations and the actual rates of association and dissociation. (See Nature 361:186-87 (1993)). The ratio of Koff /Kon enables the cancellation of all parameters not related to affinity and is equal to the dissociation constant Kd. (See, generally, Davies et al. (1990) Annual Rev Biochem 59:439-473). An antibody of the present invention is the to specifically bind to its target, when the equilibrium binding constant (Kd) is ≤1 μM, e.g., ≤ Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 100 nM, preferably ≤ 10 nM, and more preferably ≤ 1 nM, as measured by assays such as radioligand binding assays or similar assays known to those skilled in the art. [0444] The term “isolated polynucleotide” as used herein shall mean a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin or some combination thereof, which by virtue of its origin the “isolated polynucleotide” (1) is not associated with all or a portion of a polynucleotide in which the “isolated polynucleotide” is found in nature, (2) is operably linked to a polynucleotide which it is not linked to in nature, or (3) does not occur in nature as part of a larger sequence. Polynucleotides in accordance with the invention include the nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy chain immunoglobulin molecules, and nucleic acid molecules encoding the light chain immunoglobulin molecules described herein. [0445] The term “isolated protein” referred to herein means a protein of cDNA, recombinant RNA, or synthetic origin or some combination thereof, which by virtue of its origin, or source of derivation, the “isolated protein” (1) is not associated with proteins found in nature, (2) is free of other proteins from the same source, e.g., free of marine proteins, (3) is expressed by a cell from a different species, or (4) does not occur in nature. [0446] The term “polypeptide” is used herein as a generic term to refer to native protein, fragments, or analogs of a polypeptide sequence. Hence, native protein fragments, and analogs are species of the polypeptide genus. Polypeptides in accordance with the invention comprise the heavy chain immunoglobulin molecules, and the light chain immunoglobulin molecules described herein, as well as antibody molecules formed by combinations comprising the heavy chain immunoglobulin molecules with light chain immunoglobulin molecules, such as kappa light chain immunoglobulin molecules, and vice versa, as well as fragments and analogs thereof. [0447] The term “naturally-occurring” as used herein as applied to an object refers to the fact that an object can be found in nature. For example, a polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence that is present in an organism (including viruses) that can be isolated from a source in nature, and which has not been intentionally modified by man in the laboratory or otherwise is naturally-occurring. [0448] The term “operably linked” as used herein refers to positions of components so described are in a relationship permitting them to function in their intended manner. A control sequence “operably linked” to a coding sequence is ligated in such a way that Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 expression of the coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatible with the control sequences. [0449] The term “control sequence” as used herein refers to polynucleotide sequences which are necessary to affect the expression and processing of coding sequences to which they are ligated. The nature of such control sequences differs depending upon the host organism in prokaryotes, such control sequences generally include promoter, ribosomal binding site, and transcription termination sequence in eukaryotes, generally, such control sequences include promoters and transcription termination sequence. The term “control sequences” is intended to include, at a minimum, all components whose presence is essential for expression and processing and can also include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for example, leader sequences and fusion partner sequences. The term “polynucleotide” as referred to herein means a polymeric boron of nucleotides of at least 10 bases in length, either ribonucleotides or deoxynucleotides or a modified form of either type of nucleotide. The term includes single and double stranded forms of DNA. [0450] As used herein, the twenty conventional amino acids and their abbreviations follow conventional usage. See Immunology - A Synthesis (2nd Edition, E.S. Golub and D.R. Gren, Eds., Sinauer Associates, Sunderland Mass. (1991)). Stereoisomers

D- amino acids) of the twenty conventional amino acids, unnatural amino acids such as Į-, Į- disubstituted amino acids, N-alkyl amino acids, lactic acid, and other unconventional amino acids may also be suitable components for polypeptides of the present invention. Examples of unconventional amino acids include: 4 hydroxyproline, Ȗ-carboxyglutamate, İ-N,N,N- trimethyllysine, İ -N-acetyllysine, O-phosphoserine, N- acetylserine, N-formylmethionine, 3-methylhistidine, 5-hydroxylysine, σ-N-methylarginine, and other similar amino acids and imino acids (e.g., 4- hydroxyproline). In the polypeptide notation used herein, the left-hand direction is the amino terminal direction, and the right-hand direction is the carboxy- terminal direction, in accordance with standard usage and convention. [0451] As applied to polypeptides, the term “substantial identity” means that two peptide sequences, when optimally aligned, such as by the programs GAP or BESTFIT using default gap weights, share at least 80 percent sequence identity, preferably at least 90 percent sequence identity, more preferably at least 95 percent sequence identity, and most preferably at least 99 percent sequence identity. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0452] Preferably, residue positions which are not identical differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. [0453] Conservative amino acid substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains. For example, a group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; a group of amino acids having aliphatic- hydroxyl side chains is serine and threonine; a group of amino acids having amide- containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; a group of amino acids having aromatic side chains is phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; a group of amino acids having basic side chains is lysine, arginine, and histidine; and a group of amino acids having sulfur- containing side chains is cysteine and methionine. Preferred conservative amino acids substitution groups are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine valine, glutamic- aspartic, and asparagine-glutamine. [0454] As discussed herein, minor variations in the amino acid sequences of antibodies or immunoglobulin molecules are contemplated as being encompassed by the present invention, providing that the variations in the amino acid sequence maintain at least 75%, more preferably at least 80%, 90%, 95%, and most preferably 99%. In particular, conservative amino acid replacements are contemplated. Conservative replacements are those that take place within a family of amino acids that are related in their side chains. Genetically encoded amino acids are generally divided into families: (1) acidic amino acids are aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic amino acids are lysine, arginine, histidine; (3) non-polar amino acids are alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, and (4) uncharged polar amino acids are glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, tyrosine. The hydrophilic amino acids include arginine, asparagine, aspartate, glutamine, glutamate, histidine, lysine, serine, and threonine. The hydrophobic amino acids include alanine, cysteine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine. Other families of amino acids include (i) serine and threonine, which are the aliphatic-hydroxy family; (ii) asparagine and glutamine, which are the amide containing family; (iii) alanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine, which are the aliphatic family; and (iv) phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, which are the aromatic family. For example, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, a threonine with a serine, or a similar replacement of an amino acid with a structurally related Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 amino acid will not have a major effect on the binding or properties of the resulting molecule, especially if the replacement does not involve an amino acid within a framework site. Whether an amino acid change results in a functional peptide can readily be determined by assaying the specific activity of the polypeptide derivative. Assays are described in detail herein. Fragments or analogs of antibodies or immunoglobulin molecules can be readily prepared by those of ordinary skill in the art. Preferred amino- and carboxy-termini of fragments or analogs occur near boundaries of functional domains. Structural and functional domains can be identified by comparison of the nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence data to public or proprietary sequence databases. Preferably, computerized comparison methods are used to identify sequence motifs or predicted protein conformation domains that occur in other proteins of known structure and/or function. Methods to identify protein sequences that fold into a known three-dimensional structure are known. Bowie et al. Science 253:164 (1991). Thus, the foregoing examples demonstrate that those of skill in the art can recognize sequence motifs and structural conformations that may be used to define structural and functional domains in accordance with the invention. [0455] Preferred amino acid substitutions are those which: (1) reduce susceptibility to proteolysis, (2) reduce susceptibility to oxidation, (3) alter binding affinity for forming protein complexes, (4) alter binding affinities, and (4) confer or modify other physicochemical or functional properties of such analogs. Analogs can include various muteins of a sequence other than the naturally-occurring peptide sequence. For example, single or multiple amino acid substitutions (preferably conservative amino acid substitutions) may be made in the naturally- occurring sequence (preferably in the portion of the polypeptide outside the domain(s) forming intermolecular contacts. A conservative amino acid substitution should not substantially change the structural characteristics of the parent sequence (e.g., a replacement amino acid should not tend to break a helix that occurs in the parent sequence or disrupt other types of secondary structure that characterizes the parent sequence). Examples of art-recognized polypeptide secondary and tertiary structures are described in Proteins, Structures and Molecular Principles (Creighton, Ed., W. H. Freeman and Company, New York (1984)); Introduction to Protein Structure (C. Branden and J. Tooze, eds., Garland Publishing, New York, N.Y. (1991)); and Thornton et at. Nature 354:105 (1991). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0456] As used herein, the terms “label” or “labeled” refers to incorporation of a detectable marker, e.g., by incorporation of a radiolabeled amino acid or attachment to a polypeptide of biotinyl moieties that can be detected by marked avidin (e.g., streptavidin containing a fluorescent marker or enzymatic activity that can be detected by optical or calorimetric methods). In certain situations, the label or marker can also be therapeutic. Various methods of labeling polypeptides and glycoproteins are known in the art and may be used. Examples of labels for polypeptides include, but are not limited to, the following: radioisotopes or radionuclides (e.g.,3H,14C,15N,35S,90Y,99Tc,111In,125I,131I), fluorescent labels (e.g., FITC, rhodamine, lanthanide phosphors), enzymatic labels (e.g., horseradish peroxidase, p- galactosidase, luciferase, alkaline phosphatase), chemiluminescent, biotinyl groups, predetermined polypeptide epitopes recognized by a secondary reporter (e.g., leucine zipper pair sequences, binding sites for secondary antibodies, metal binding domains, epitope tags). In some embodiments, labels are attached by spacer arms of various lengths to reduce potential steric hindrance. The term “pharmaceutical agent or drug” as used herein refers to a chemical compound or composition capable of inducing a desired therapeutic effect when properly administered to a patient. [0457] Other chemistry terms herein are used according to conventional usage in the art, as exemplified by The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (Parker, S., Ed., McGraw- Hill, San Francisco (1985)). [0458] As used herein, “substantially pure” means an object species is the predominant species present (i.e., on a molar basis it is more abundant than any other individual species in the composition), and preferably a substantially purified fraction is a composition wherein the object species comprises at least about 50 percent (on a molar basis) of all macromolecular species present. [0459] Generally, a substantially pure composition will comprise more than about 80 percent of all macromolecular species present in the composition, more preferably more than about 85%, 90%, 95%, and 99%. Most preferably, the object species is purified to essential homogeneity (contaminant species cannot be detected in the composition by conventional detection methods) wherein the composition consists essentially of a single macromolecular species. [0460] The term patient includes human and veterinary subjects. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0461] EXAMPLES [0462] EXAMPLE 1: Materials and Methods for Examples 2-8 [0463] Proteins [0464] Amino acids 26-216 of cynomolgus ULBP2 (NCBI Reference Sequence: XP_005552169.1) was fused to hIgG1 Fc and expressed in Expi293 HEK cells. Human ULBP2-Fc, ULBP2-His, ULBP5-His, ULBP6-His and NKG2D-Fc was purchased from R&D Systems. Biotin labeled human CD3 epsilon/delta and cynomolgus CD3 epsilon/delta were also purchased from Acro Biosystems. [0465] Bio-layer interferometry [0466] Bio-layer interferometry (BLI) was performed on the Octet RED384 (Sartorius). ULBP2 antibodies were diluted to 5 μg/mL in kinetics buffer (PBS+ 0.02% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% sodium azide) followed by loading to AHC biosensors (Sartorius) for 120 seconds. For association, sensors were transferred to wells containing ULBP2, ULBP5 and ULBP6 at the following concentrations (250, 125, 62.5 and 31.25 nM) for 300 seconds. Subsequently, dissociation was measured over 600 seconds. The kinetic and affinity constants are determined by fitting the data to a 1:1 binding model using the Octet analysis software. [0467] Surface plasmon resonance [0468] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was performed on the Biacore 8K+ (Cytiva). Biotin labelled proteins were captured using the Sensor chip SA (Cytiva). Antibodies were diluted in the running buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% v/v Surfactant P20, pH 7.4) to appropriate concentrations and injected to each channel at a flow rate of 30 μL/min for the multi-cycle kinetics/affinity analysis. The association contact and dissociation time are 60-120 seconds and 120-420 seconds respectively. The chip surface is regenerated by injecting 10 mM glycine, pH 1.5, at a flow rate of 30 μL/min for 60 seconds. The kinetic and affinity constants are determined by fitting the data to a 1:1 binding model using the Biacore insight evaluation software. [0469] NKG2D competition ELISA [0470] Maxisorp plates (Nunc) were coated with 5 μg/mL of ULBP2-His in PBS. Following 1 hour blocking with PBS containing 5% BSA, wells were incubated with 10 nM of biotin labeled NKG2D-Fc and increasing concentration of A06 or E12 antibodies (0.0003, 0.0011, 0.0046, 0.0183, 0.0732, 0.29, 1.17, 4.69, 18.8, 75, 300 nM) for an Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 additional 1 hour. Wells were then washed and incubated with streptavidin horse radish peroxidase conjugate for another 1 hour. Chemiluminscence substrate (ThermoFisher) was added, and luminescence was measured using EnSight reader (Perkin Elmer). [0471] In vitro repeat stimulation of T cells using biologics conjugated to Dynabeads [0472] T cells were isolated from healthy PBMC by negative selection using EasySep Human T cell CD3+ Isolation kit (STEMCELL) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and resuspended in RPMI 1640 GlutaMAX Media plus 10% FBS. For each round of stimulation, isolated T cells (1 × 106 cells/ml) were incubated with 10 nM of protein conjugated to Dynabeads (Thermofisher) at 37 °C for 2 to 3 days. At the end of each round of stimulation, the cells were passaged by removing the dynabeads using magnetic separation and cultured with new cell culture media and fresh dynabeads every 2 to 3 days. The cells were also collected at the end of each round for cell counting and surface and intracellular marker expression was determined by flow staining. [0473] T cell isolation and activation [0474] T-cells were isolated from healthy PBMCs donors using StemCell T-cell isolation kit. OpTmizer media was supplemented with 2% human AB serum, 1X penicillin/streptomycin, 4mM glutaMAX, 2mM glutamine. Cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 in the supplemented OpTmizer media at 5x105 cells/mL and treated with Dynabeads coated with CD3 and CD28 antibodies for 48 hours. Following removal of Dynabeads, T cells were incubated with IL-7 (2.5 ng/ml) and IL-15 (2.5 ng/ml) in supplemented OpTmizer media for an additional 6 days. The supplemented media was replaced with freshly thawed cytokines (IL7 and IL15) every 48 hours. On day of adoptive transfer T cell number and viability were measured using hemocytometer. [0475] Tumor studies with co-engraftment of human T cells [0476] Five million CORL-105-GFP-luc cells and 1 million activated T cells were implanted subcutaneously were implanted subcutaneously into flank of NSG mice (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ, Jackson Laboratory). Antibodies were dosed 4 mg/kg biweekly starting at day 0 for 3 weeks.

Blood samples were collected at 0.03 0.5, 2, 8, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours following infusion using tubes containing anticoagulant, K2EDTA, and centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. The plasma was then divided into aliquots and stored at ^ 60°C. [0479] The levels of EIP0561 in cynomolgus plasma was determined using sandwich ELISA. Biotin conjugated ULBP2 (4.5 μg/mL) in blocking buffer (3% BSA in PBS) was incubated with streptavidin-coated plates (100 μL per well) for 16 hours at 4°C. Plasma samples were thawed on ice and centrifuged at 21,000 x g for 5 minutes at 4 °C. Serial dilutions of samples at each time point were prepared in blocking buffer while for the standard curve, four-fold serial dilutions of EIP0561 were made in blocking buffer plus 2% normal cynomolgus monkey serum in duplicate. ELISA plates were incubated overnight at 4°C. Assay plates were washed three times with PBST, mouse-Į-human IgG-HRP (clone G18-145) detection antibody (diluted 1:500 in blocking buffer) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing, chemiluminescent peroxidase substrate was added to the microplates, incubated 5 minutes at room temperature, and luminescence was measured on an EnSight plate reader. [0480] The plasma concentration (Cp) of EIP0561 in each sample was plotted as a function of time. Non-compartmental analysis was performed with IQnca software package (by IntiQuan Version: 1.3.0 with compliance mode OFF) in R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23 ucrt). IQnca default configurations were used except where specified and include the following: NCA model was defined by profile type: “single dose” and administration type: “IV bolus”, since IV infusion times were not provided. Under these conditions, any missing pre-dose imputation for AUC calculation are back-extrapolated according to the manufacturer’s criteria. (https://iqnca.intiquan.com/). AUC calculation method was Linear Trapezoidal with Linear Interpolation. Lambda Z (^z) method was best fit for ^z, Log regression and required a minimum of three points. No weighting was used in ^z calculation.

Single colony transformants were then transferred into 2 mL deep well plates with CM glucose media minus tryptophan and grown at 30 °C overnight with shaking. Cells were pelleted and transferred to CM galactose media minus tryptophan and grown overnight at 20 ^C overnight to induce expression and surface display of ULBP2. [0483] For epitope mapping, 48 ULBP2 alanine variants were incubated with biotin labelled A06 and E12 (1 nM) and mouse anti-V5 antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then washed using PBS containing 0.1% BSA and 0.01% Tween and incubated on ice with streptavidin-PE conjugate and mouse anti-V5 antibody for Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (ThermoFisher) and Alexa Fluor™ 647 streptavidin (ThermoFisher) for 30 minutes on ice. Cells were washed and analyzed using BD FACSymphony A3 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). [0484] Molecular modeling and structural bioinformatics [0485] Antigen human ULBP2 structure was generated using “Build homology model” tool in, BioLuminate, Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY, 2021. For this, human ULBP2 sequence (SEQ ID NO: 421) was used. Crystal structure of human NKG2D in complex with ULBP6 (PDB ID: 4S0U) was utilized as template for building human ULBP2 structure. Generated model was refined using “protein preparation workflow” in Bioluminate by performing a restrained minimization using OPLS_2005 forcefield. Human ULBP2 and ULBP6 (SEQ ID: 423) share 96% sequence identity. [0486] Structure of human ULBP2-NKG2D complex was modeled using the crystal structure of human NKG2D in complex with ULBP6 (PDB ID: 4S0U). For this, the predicted structure of human ULBP2 was aligned over ULBP6 in ULBP6-NKG2D complex (PBD ID: 4S0U) using Pymol (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, Version 2.0 Schrödinger, LLC). Now, the structure of ULBP6 was removed from the complex and human ULBP2 was extracted with NKG2D as a complex. [0487] Antibody structures for E12 and A06 were generated using “Antibody structure prediction” tool in, BioLuminate, Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY, 2021. For modeling E12 antibody, the structure of human agonist antibody KMTR2 (PDB ID: 3X3F) was used for building both heavy and light chain of E12. Similarly for modeling A06 antibody, structure of Fab4AB007 (PDB ID: 5MVZ) was used.

[0494] The characteristic feature of A06 is lack of binding to ULBP5, ULBP6 and cynomolgus ULBP2 which all share a common amino acid leucine at position 106. In contrast arginine is found at position 106 in ULBP2. In Table 25 below, A06 is shown to bind to yeast displaying ULBP2 but not ULBP2 R106L nor cynomolgus ULBP2. In contrast, E12 binds to all three proteins displayed on yeast. This data suggests that R106 is a critical residue of the A06 epitope. [0495] Table 25.

Using FlowJo v10 software, the binding of A06 and E12 to each ULBP2 mutant was observed by the percentage of cells falling into 3 defined regions of the scatter plot: gate 1 – corresponds to antibody binding to wild-type ULBP2, gate 2 – represents intermediate binding to ULBP2, gate 3- represents weak to no binding to ULBP2.

Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0505] Structural modeling of A06 and E12 binding to ULBP2 [0506] A homology model of NKG2D in complex with ULBP2 was created using the X-ray crystallographic structure of NKG2D/ULBP6 complex (PDB: 4S0U). Subsequently, the fragment variable regions (Fv) of A06 and E12 antibodies were docked on the surface of ULBP2 individually using protein-protein docking module in Bioluminate (Schrodinger). During docking, A06/E12 were marked as antibody and non-CDR regions were masked, such that the attractive potential in the non-CDR regions was removed. For addition restraints ULBP2 positions identified from alanine scanning for A06 and E12 were specified for attractive potential. For E12, poses were ranked based on having max H-bond interaction, CDR binding and no overlap with NKG2D. Similarly, A06 poses were screened for max H-bond interaction, CDR binding, and overlap with NKG2D. The highest ranked pose for A06-ULBP2 and E12-ULBP2 are shown in FIGS.34A-34C. [0507] Epitope Analysis of A06 and E12 [0508] Using the predicted complexes of A06-ULBP2 and E12-ULBP2, the epitopes of both E12 and A06 was further refined and extended beyond what was observed using alanine scanning.

[0511] EXAMPLE 3: Design and Expression of Bispecific Antibodies with Heavy Chain and Light Chain Heterodimerization [0512] Molecular modeling and structure guided design of bispecific antibodies Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0513] Challenges for bispecific IgG-like antibody format designs are (i) efficient heavy chain heterodimerization and, (ii) efficient light chain heterodimerization for correct cognate pairing with good specificity. Thus, bispecific or multispecific antibodies were designed to include (i) knob-into-hole mutations to promote efficient heavy chain heterodimerization and (ii) charged pairing (between VH1 and VL1 interface and/or VH2 and VL2 interface, and CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface) and disulfide stabilization mutations (between CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface), which together promote correct cognate pairing of heavy chain and light chains. Correct pairing of heavy and light chains is advantageous for efficient large scale antibody production and purification. [0514] Bioluminate modeling suite and Pymol molecular graphics system from Schrodinger were used to perform all molecular modeling works. A high resolution crystal structure of Trastuzumab (PDB ID: 1N8Z) was used as a backbone template for homology modeling of VH2-CH2H1/VL2-CL2kappa antigen binding fragment (Fab) of the disease-associated antigen (DAA) binding portion of the antibody, and a high resolution crystal structure of Pertuzumab (PDB ID: 4LLU) was used as a backbone template for homology modeling of VH1-CH1H1/VL1-CL1lambda (Fab) of the CD3 binding portion of the antibody. [0515] The evaluation of impact of individual mutation sets for charged pairs or knob into hole mutations on the Fab stability and on the respective affinity of each paratope was carried out with the BioLuminate Residue Scanning Tool. Residue pairs for disulfide repositioning were identified using PyMol molecular graphics system through structure guided design and validated by homology modeling or Bioluminate Cys-Cys engineering tool. Exemplary charged pairs and disulfide repositioning mutations are shown in Tables 1- 6. A schematic depiction of the antibody designs are shown in FIG.1A-D. This structural design of the antibody provides improved specificity and complete cognate pairing, which is advantageous for functional antibody expression and purification. [0516] Antibody Expression and Purification [0517] All individual prioritized mutation sets were experimentally tested for expression in transient Expi293 cells. DNA sequences corresponding to antibody heavy and light chains were synthesized in pDT5 vector (ATUM, Newark CA). Plasmid DNA (1 μg/ml) were transfected into Expi293 cells (ThermoFisher) according to manufacturer’s protocols. Cells were grown in flasks with rotation (125 rpm) at 37 °C with 8 % CO2. Five days post- Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 transfection, the conditioned media was harvested from the cells by centrifugation (3000 x g) for 30 minutes and filtered using 0.2 μm filter. Antibodies were then purified using an AKTA Avant chromatography system (Cytiva) and a tandem purification method using HiTrap Protein A and HiLoad Superdex 200 columns (Cytiva). Antibodies were stored in PBS, pH 7.22 at 4 degrees Celsius following purification and prior to analysis. [0518] Biophysical characterization [0519] Analytical size exclusion chromatography (aSEC) was performed using AdvanceBio 1.9 μm SEC column (Agilent) equipped on a 1260 Infinity II Bioinert HPLC system for the determination of aggregates and other higher and low molecular weight mass species. Antibody samples were run with a linear gradient using 1xPBS (pH7.2) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min for 10 min with Ultraviolet (UV) absorbance monitoring at 280 nm. The eluted protein was quantified by UV absorbance and integration of peak areas. BEH SEC protein standard mix (Waters) served as a standard. Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) was performed using AdvanceBio HIC (4.6x100 mm). Antibody samples were mixed 1:1 with buffer A (1.8 M ammonium sulfate in 0.1 M Na-phosphate buffer pH 7.2) and run with a linear gradient using mobile phase A and B (0.1 M Na-phosphate buffer pH7.2) over 20 min at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min with UV absorbance monitoring at 280 nm. The thermal stability of the antibodies was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using Nano DSC calorimeter (TA Instrument). [0520] For DSC, samples were prepared in 1xPBS in 1 mg/mL concentration, loaded into sample cell and scanned at 1 °C/min increment from 25 to 95 °C. Data was analyzed using NanoAnalyzer program subtracting PBS buffer background from each individual scan. For total protein purity analysis, the NuPAGE Pre-Cast gel system (Invitrogen) was used according to the manufacturer's instruction. In particular, 4-12% NuPAGE Novex Bis-TRIS Pre-Cast gels (pH 6.4) and a NuPAGE MES (reduced gels, with NuPAGE Antioxidant running buffer additive) or MOPS (non-reduced gels) running buffer was used. Half of the sample was combined with NuPAGE Sample Reducing Agent or left unreduced, respectively, and heated for 10 min at 70°C. Subsequently, 5-20 μL were applied to a 4- 12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris NUPAGE (Invitrogen) (with MOPS buffer for nonreduced NUPAGE and MES buffer with NuPAGE Antioxidant running buffer additive (Invitrogen) for reduced NUPAGE) and stained with Coomassie Blue. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0521] From initial screening a selected sets of mutations with favorable biophysical properties were combined and engineered into heavy chain and light chain sequences and advanced for further testing in bispecific human IgG1 format. Selected permutation of different sets of mutation containing at least one disulfide repositioning mutation pair (in either DAA Fab arm or CD3 Fab arm), one set of charge pairing mutations in the VH1/VL1 or VH2/VL2 sequences and at least one set of charge pairing mutation in the CH1H1/CL1 or CH2H1/CL2 sequences, were expressed, purified, and experimentally tested in the full IgG1 bispecific format and characterized. Preparative size exclusion chromatogram of representative bispecific variants (EIP0187, EIP0205, EIP0356 and EIP0377), obtained from tandem protein A-size exclusion column purification using AKTA system, are shown in FIG.2A. The thermal stability of light chain pairing mutations were assessed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). As shown in FIG.2B, significant differences were not observed in the melting of the Fab region (second transition) for EIP0187, EIP0205, EIP0356 and EIP0377 compared to EIP0112 (CrossMab), a bispecific using the benchmark light chain pairing technology, CrossMab, described by Schaefer et. al. [PNAS 2011, 108 (27) 11187-11192]). A majority of the mutational combinations led to significant decreases in expression of bispecific proteins and were not considered further. Integrity and purity of the bispecific proteins with good expression were analyzed by aSEC and NuPAGE gel electrophoresis (intact and reduced) (FIG.3). Together, this demonstrates that bispecific antibodies have high thermal stability, high protein integrity and efficient and accurate assembly of light chain and heavy chain components. [0522] Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) [0523] The bispecific variants without any undesired mass (HMMS or LMMS) on aSEC and on NuPAGE gel electrophoresis were advanced for further analysis by sandwich ELISA for binding to their corresponding antigens. Maxisorp plates (Nunc) were coated with proteins at a concentration of 1 μg/ml in bicarbonate buffer pH 9.2 or PBS, pH 7.22 for 16 hours at 4 °C. All subsequent steps were performed at room temperature. The plates were then blocked with blocking buffer (PBS, pH 7.2, 1% BSA) for 1 hour. The plates were then washed using PBS pH 7.2, 0.1% Tween. Bispecific antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer at a 1 in 3 dilution starting at 100 nM and incubated with blocked wells for 1 hour. Plates were then washed and incubated with anti-human HRP conjugate at a 1 in 500 dilution. Following a final wash, the luminescence substrate was added according to Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 manufacturer’s instructions (SeraCare). Luminescence was measured using Ensight plate reader (Perkin Elmer). For comparison, a purified a benchmark bispecific antibody using therapeutically validated bispecific platform was tested . Bispecific antibodies were functional and able to engage both the disease associated antigen (i.e. ULBP2) and CD3 antigens simultaneously (FIGS.4A-4B). [0524] Mass Spectrometry [0525] The selected bispecific variants with desired biophysical properties were further characterized by mass spectrometry to determine intact antibody mass, and reduced masses of heavy chains and light chains, and the specificity of assembly of light chains with corresponding heavy chains was assessed. [0526] The intact mass of the purified fusion proteins and antibody chains was confirmed by Xevo G2-XS QTof Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry coupled to a Acquity UHPLC system (Waters) equipped with a Protein BEH C4 (300 Å 1.7 μm) column. Antibody samples were deglycosylated first using rapid PNGase F enzyme (New England Biolabs) in reducing and non-reducing conditions following supplier’s protocols. Reaction mixture was diluted to 1:10 in 50% Acetonitrile containing 0.1% Formic acid and 2 ^L of which was injected into LC-MS. The total ion chromatogram and m/z data of the proteins were acquired with gradient run of 10 to 70 mL HPLC grade acetonitrile over 12 min. Mass of the protein samples was deconvoluted from total ion chromatogram using BYOS software from Protein Metrics. [0527] Deconvoluted intact mass of one of the representative bispecific variant EIP0205 is shown in FIG.5A. The expected sizes for corresponding heavy chain masses (FIG.5B) and light chain masses (FIG.5C) were observed. No species or masses that corresponds to mispairing of the light chains with non-cognate heavy chains were observed. Relative intensity ratio of 1:1 of two heavy chains and two light chains suggests that the bispecific antibody is fully intact with near 100% cognate pairing. Certain bispecific antibodies which failed to achieve complete cognate pairing, the intact masses for mis-paired LC and HC were easily observable from deconvoluted ion chromatogram shown in FIG.5D, as ‘mis- paired mass species’. The deconvoluted masses of reduced heavy chains and light chains are shown in FIGS.5E-5F. [0528] Together, the biophysical and antigen binding results indicate that the compensatory charge pairing mutations (designed within VH1 and VL1 interface and/or VH2 and VL2 Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 interface, and CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface) and disulfide stabilized mutations (designed within CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface), resulted in intact bispecific antibodies with the correct conformation and high thermal stability. [0529] EXAMPLE 4: Characterization of αULBP2-αCD3 Bispecific Antibodies With Mutations That Promote Heavy Chain And Light Chain Heterodimerization [0530] Using the methods described above, αULBP2-αCD3 bispecific antibodies (e.g. EIP0174, EIP0175, EIP0187, EIP0205, EIP0206, EIP0207, EIP0208, EIP0294, EIP0295, EIP0306, EIP0307, EIP0318, EIP0342, EIP0344, EIP0356, EIP0377, EIP0598) were constructed with sixteen different mutation sets (A-P). Each bispecific antibody has identical CDRs that bind to ULBP2 (derived from “E12” antibody) and identical CDRs that bind to CD3 (derived from “SP34” antibody), but differed in (i) knob-into-hole mutations to promote efficient heavy chain heterodimerization and (ii) charged pairing (VH1 and VL1 interface and/or VH2 and VL2 interface, and CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface) and disulfide stabilization mutations (between CH1H1 and CL1 interface and/or CH2H1 and CL2 interface), which together promote correct cognate pairing of heavy chain and light chains. [0531] The charged mutation sets (A-P) were evaluated for expression titers, percentage POI by analytical size exclusion chromatography, binding to ULBP2 and CD3 by sandwich ELISA, functional T cell activity and cognate light chain pairing by mass spectrometry.

To activate T cells, Dynabeads coated with αCD3 and αCD28 antibodies were added to the T cells at a ratio of 25 μL beads per million cells and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 48 hours. Following removal of Dynabeads, T cells were incubated with IL-7 (10 ng/ml) and IL-15 (10 ng/ml) in supplemented in media for an additional 7 days. The supplemented media was replaced with freshly thawed cytokines (IL7 and IL15) every 48 hours. Human tumor cells were seeded at 10,000 cells per well in 96- well tissue culture plates (Perkin Elmer) and incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C with 5 % CO2. The following day, naïve or activated human T cells (50-100,000) or PBMCs (250-300,000) were added to tumor cells in the presence or absence of antibodies and incubated for up to 3-7 days. Cytolysis of Green Fluorescent Protein engineered MDA-MB-231 and HCT116 (Genecopoeia) cells were visualized using fluorescent plate reader (Ensight, Perkin Elmer). Cytolysis of CORL105 and SiHa cells were measured using the LDH-Glo cytotoxicity assay (Promega). [0535] The bispecific variants with complete cognate pairing were then tested for their functional cytolytic activity using T cell or PBMC and tumor cell co-culture cytotoxicity assay with different E:T ratio. All the variants tested showed dose dependent cytolytic activity in different tumor cell model with varying degree (low to high) of target density, FIG.6. Overall, biophysical and functional characterization results demonstrated that the bispecific variants EIP0187, EIP0205, EIP0356, EIP0377, and EIP0598 provided fully functional biologically active bispecific antibodies with high specificity and thermal stability.

To understand the structural requirements of CD3 binding, alanine scanning was performed across all six CDRs of the humanized SP34 antibody to determine positions that were important to binding of human CD3 epsilon. Briefly, mutants of the humanized SP34 antibody in which a single CDR position was substituted with alanine were displayed as scFv on the surface of yeast and binding of recombinant human CD3 epsilon was assessed using flow cytometry. [0544] Several strategies were used to identify SP34 mutants with a range of affinities to CD3 epsilon. In one strategy, alanine mutants with observed reductions in CD3 affinity were selected from the alanine scanning analysis described above. In a second strategy, alanine mutants with reduced CD3 affinity were interrogated using molecular modeling in order to replace alanine substitution with alternative amino acids in order to better modulate the degree of affinity reduction. In a third strategy, aspartate was substituted for alanine at select positions as it has been described that charged amino acids at certain CDR positions Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 can reduce the propensity of antibodies to aggregation (Dudgeon, K. et al. General strategy for the generation of human antibody variable domains with increased aggregation resistance. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109, 10879–10884 (2012)). The list of SP34 mutants with reduced CD3 affinity is shown in Table 35. [0545] Table 35. Bispecific Antibodies with SP34 having CDR mutations in the Variable Heavy and Variable Light Chain Domains

*Mutants for which human and cynomolgus CD3 binding and NFAT activation for SiHa and HCT116 cell lines are reported is indicated in bold. [0546] Bispecific antibodies were produced with SP34 affinity mutants and the ULBP2 antibody E12 using light chain pairing set D and evaluated for monovalent binding to human and cynomolgus CD3 epsilon by ELISA (FIG.8A-8B). Three bispecific SP34 mutants, EIP0527, EIP0540 and EIP542, retained similar strong affinity to the bispecific having a SP34 arm without mutations (EIP0205). The majority of the bispecific SP34 mutants, EIP0477, EIP0483, EIP0486, EIP0491, EIP0513, EIP0515, and EIP0541 tested were of moderate affinity (EC50 = 10-50 nM) and one mutant, EIP0525, was observed to be of weak affinity (EC50 > 100 nM). In addition, the overall binding and the rank of affinities for the bispecific SP34 mutants did not change when assessed against cynomolgus CD3 epsilon, indicating that the mutations did not alter the cross reactivity and/or the binding between human and cynomolgus protein. Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0547] Nuclear Factor of Activator of T cells (NFAT) Luciferase Reporter Assay [0548] Bispecific SP34 affinity mutants were evaluated for NFAT activation using the NFAT luciferase reporter Jurkat cell line in the presence of two cancer cell lines expressing high (SiHa) and low (HCT116) levels of ULBP2. Engagement of T cell antigen receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex in T cells leads to intracellular signaling events and the transcriptional activation of the Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells (NFAT) pathway. Human tumor cells were seeded at 40,000 cells per well in 96- well tissue culture plates (Perkin Elmer) and incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C with 5 % CO2. Subsequently, 100,000 NFAT Luciferase Reporter Jurkat cells (Signosis) were added to tumor cells in the presence or absence of bispecific antibodies and incubated for 5 hours at 37 °C. Upon addition of Bio-Glo reagent (Promega), luminescence was measured using luminescent plate reader (Ensight, Perkin Elmer). [0549] The degree of NFAT activation as measured by luciferase (FIGS.9A-9B) revealed a much broader range of activity among the bispecific SP34 mutants than indicated by the CD3 epsilon binding ELISA. Whereas EIP0477 and EIP0541 were observed to be moderate affinity by ELISA (14.93 and 36.34 nM EC50 respectively), the NFAT luciferase reporter assay revealed that these two mutants had significant reductions in NFAT response in the high ULBP2 cell line, SiHa (FIG.9A) and little to no activity in the low ULBP2 cell line, HCT116 (FIG.9B). In contrast, other SP34 mutants, EIP0483, EIP0486, EIP0515, and EIP0542, displayed the expected moderate NFAT response but with a broader range of differences between the mutants than observed by ELISA. [0550] The greatest range of values between the CD3 variants were observed using NFAT Jurkat reporter and SiHa cell line (Table 35). Thus, this assay was used to bin the CD3 variants into the following categories of CD3 activity: strongest, EC50 < 50 pM; strong, EC50 = 50-150 pM; moderate, EC50 = 150-300 pM; weak, EC50 = 301-1000 pM; very weak, EC50 > 1000 pM. [0551] Bispecific SP34 affinity mutants were evaluated for their ability to induce cytolysis of cancer cells lines with varying levels of ULBP2 expression (SiHa > MDA-MB-231 > HCT116) in the presence of activated T cells. Consistent with the NFAT luciferase reporter assay, a broad range of reduced in cytolytic activity for bispecific SP34 mutants across the three cell lines was observed (FIGS.10A-10C). The rank order of cytolytic activity across the mutants was consistent with the order of NFAT activation observed previously. For each Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 individual bispecific, cytolytic activity was also directly correlated with the levels of ULBP2 on the tumor cells. For example, the EC50 for EIP0483 among the 3 cell lines are: SiHa, 1.11 nM; MDA-MB-23, 2.93 nM; and HCT116, 71.21 nM. [0552] T-cell Secreted Cytokines [0553] T cell secreted cytokines (IFNγ, IL-2, and TNFα) from the SiHa cytotoxicity assay were also measured. Human tumor cells were seeded at 10,000 cells per well in 96-well tissue culture plates (Perkin Elmer) and incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C with 5 % CO2. Naïve or activated human T cells (50-100,000) or PBMCs (250-300,000) were added to tumor cells in the presence or absence of antibodies and incubated for an additional 24-48 hours. Conditioned media was then transferred to separate 96-well plate and centrifuged (1000 x g) for 5 min to pellet cells. Aliquots of conditioned media were removed for cytokine measurements using interferon gamma (IFNγ) , interleukin 2 (IL-2) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) ELISA kits (Biolegend). [0554] Three SP34 affinity mutants (EIP0486, EIP0540 and EIP0542) induced similar levels of IFNγ release as the bispecific SP34 wild-type (EIP0205) while the remaining mutants produced very little cytokine (FIGS.11A-11C). The same three SP34 affinity mutants also induced IL-2 though at levels different than the bispecific SP34 wild-type. Overall, TNFα levels were very low though EIP0542 did produce the highest level among all the bispecifics tested. [0555] EXAMPLE 7 – Production and biophysical characterization of αULBP2-αCD3 Bispecific Antibodies with Fusion Peptides [0556] The crystal structure of human CD58 in complex with human CD2 (PDB 1QA9) confirmed that the interface occurs through amino terminal or IgV-like domain of CD58 (CD58v) which is one of two domain in the extracellular region (the other CD58 domain is IgC2-like; https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2018.01204) and the amino-terminal domain of CD2 (Sung H, Ferlay J, Siegel RL, Laversanne M, Soerjomataram I, Jemal A, Bray F. Global Cancer Statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries. CA Cancer J Clin.2021 May;71(3):209-249. doi: 10.3322/caac.21660. Epub 2021 Feb 4. PMID: 33538338; Wang, J. et al. Structure of a Heterophilic Adhesion Complex between the Human CD2 and CD58 (LFA-3) Counterreceptors. Cell 97, 791–803 (1999)). Given that the amino-terminus of CD58 is distal to the CD2 binding interface, CD58 or CD58v may be functional as both amino and Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 carboxyl terminal fusions to all four antibody chains of the bispecific antibody allowing several formats possible (FIGS.12A-12K). Both amino and carboxyl terminal IL-7 fusions (WO2020236655A1 and WO2005063820A2) and could also follow the similar formats as CD58. [0557] Bispecific fusion was generated by fusing the full-length extracellular domain of CD58 (UNIPROTKB: P19256, amino acids: 29-216), CD58v (amino acids: 29-122), IL7 (UNIPROTKB: P13232, amino acids: 26-177) using glycine serine linker to the carboxyl- terminus of the hole heavy chain of the bispecific consisting of ULBP2 antibody E12 and CD3 antibody SP34 (EIP0205). Bispecifics consisting of the ULBP2 antibody E12 and SP34 affinity mutants were fused with CD58 at the carboxyl-terminus of the hole heavy chain to create a series of bispecific CD58 fusions. Listed in Table 17 are bispecific CD58 fusions and their cognate bispecific antibodies. [0558] FIG.13 shows the size exclusion chromatograms of bispecific αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and bispecific fusions: αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359), αULBP2-αCD3- CD58v (EIP0360), and αULBP2-αCD3-IL7 (EIP0363) following elution from protein A. [0559] Given that expression culture volume was equivalent for all four antibodies, the calculated area under the curve (AUC) is representative of antibody yields, thus fusions with CD58 and CD58v and IL-7 were not detrimental to the expression compared to the bispecific αULBP2-αCD3. Despite the emergence of lower molecular weight species as evidenced by the shoulder to the right of the peak of interest (POI) for all three bispecific fusions, the overall shape of the POI is consistent with that of monoclonal antibodies and suitable for drug development. [0560] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine whether the addition of CD58 and IL-7 would alter the transition temperature of the bispecific antibody. As shown in FIG.14, two major transitions for antibodies produced using knob-into-hole (KIH) technology. The engineered KIH mutations in the CH1H3 or CH2H3 resulted in a reduced melting temperature that now overlaps with the CH2 domain (70 °C), while the second transition represents melting of Fab region (75 °C). The addition of CD58 or IL-7 to the C-terminus of the bispecific antibody had a minimal effect reducing the transition temperature of CH1H2 or CH2H2 or CH1H3 or CH2H3 by only 1°C while the Fab was unaltered. Finally, the fusion of CD58, CD58v and IL-7 to the carboxyl terminus of the hole Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 heavy chain of the bispecific did not alter binding to ULBP2 or CD3 by the αULBP2-αCD3 bispecifics as evaluated by sandwich ELISA (FIGS.15A-15B). [0561] EXAMPLE 8 – In vitro functional characterization of bispecific antibodies with fusion peptides [0562] The activity of bispecific fusion, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359), was compared to the bispecific, αULBP2-αCD3 bispecific (EIP0205), in a cytotoxicity assay with naïve T cells co-cultured with MDA-MB-231 GFP/luciferase cells. After 7-day incubation, the percentage of live GFP labeled tumor cells were determined using fluorescent imaging. As shown in FIG.16A, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 showed greater cytolytic activity than αULBP2-αCD3 as indicated by EC50 (3-fold lower concentration) and maximum cell death (9% increase). The difference in fluorescent signal of MDA-MB-231 GFP cells between αULBP2-αCD3, and αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 at a concentration of 625 pM as shown by fluorescent cell images (FIG.16B). The activity for both αULBP2-αCD3 and αULBP2- αCD3-CD58 is dependent on target expression as ULBP2 deficient MDA-MB-231 cells (generated through CRISPR-Cas9 targeted inactivation of the ULBP2 gene) were largely resistant to cytolysis (FIG.16C). In addition, no cytotoxicity was observed using Control- αCD3 bispecific (EIP0546) for both parental and ULBP2-deficient MDA-MB-231 cells. [0563] The release of the T cell cytokines IFNγ, IL-2 and TNFα were also measured from the media of naïve T cells co-cultured with MDA-MB-231 GFP/luciferase cells in the presence of bispecific αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and the bispecific fusion, αULBP2- αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) after 24 hours. An increase of 79% was observed for IFNγ levels (FIG.17A), an increase of 104% was observed for IL-2 (FIG.18A) and an increase of 89% was observed for TNFα (FIG.19A) with αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 compared to αULBP2- αCD3 bispecific as measured by the area under the curve (AUC) over the entire dose range. Consistent with the lack of cytotoxicity, the absence of ULBP2 on MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in no measurable levels for all three cytokines (FIGS.17B, 18B, and 19B). The Control-αCD3 bispecific (EIP0546) did not induce cytokines from both parental and ULBP2-deficient MDA-MB-231 cells. [0564] Bispecific SP34 affinity mutants and their cognate CD58 fusions were evaluated for cytotoxicity (FIGS.20 and 21) and for cytokine release (FIGS.22-27) using in a co-culture assay with SiHa cells and activated T cells. Significant improvements in cytotoxicity were Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 observed as measured both in EC50 and in maximum cell death when CD58 was fused to bispecifics with lower CD3 affinity. In general, the improvement in cytolytic activity of the bispecific CD58 fusion compared to the bispecific was inversely related to the CD3 affinity of the bispecific. For example, the lowest CD3 affinity bispecific, EIP0477, induces minimal cell death only at the highest concentration of antibody with undetermined EC50 (FIGS.20 and 21), whereas the equivalent bispecific CD58 fusion (EIP0560) induced 98% cell death with an EC50 of 0.15 nM. Conversely, for a high CD3 affinity bispecific, EIP0486, the fusion of CD58 (EIP0562) improved cytotoxicity modestly lowering the EC50 concentration by 3-fold (FIG.20). Similar trends were observed for bispecific CD58 fusions and their cognate bispecifics for IFNγ release (FIGS. 22 and 23), IL2 (FIGS.24 and 25), and TNFα (FIGS.26 and 27). Again, the gain of cytokine release for the bispecific CD58 fusion compared to the bispecific was inversely related to the CD3 affinity of the bispecific. By creating a series of bispecific CD58 fusions with different CD3 affinities, the therapeutic window can be modulated, as defined by balance of cytotoxicity and cytokine release, to suit a variety of tumor antigens with different expression patterns both in distribution and in absolute receptor number. [0565] Bispecific fusion with CD58v, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58v (EIP0360) show similar improvements in cytolytic activity as the αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) compared to the bispecific αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) as determined by the cytolysis of MDA-MB-231 GFP cells using human PBMCs (FIG.28). [0566] The improved activity of bispecific fusion, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0141) is dependent on the physical linkage between CD58 and the bispecific ULBP2-CD3 bispecific. As shown in FIGS.29A and B, combining equimolar amounts of CD58-Fc protein and the bispecific, αULBP-αCD3 (EIP0121) did not produce the equivalent amount of cytolysis or IFNγ release as the integrated bispecific fusion (EIP0141). [0567] To further understand the impact of CD58 costimulation, both the bispecific fusion, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0141), and the bispecific, αULBP2-αCD3(EIP0112), were assessed in a cytotoxicity assay using CD8 T cells in different states of exhaustion. To achieve this, naïve CD8 T cells were first subjected to increasing rounds of stimulation with each round consisting of a 2-day incubation with Dynabeads coupled to anti-CD3 and anti- CD28 antibodies. As shown by fluorescent imaging of live tumor cells, the αULBP2- αCD3-CD58 was able to induce cytolysis of tumor cells even with exhausted T cells from Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 round 5, while the activity of ULBP2-CD3 peaked with early exhausted T cells from round 3 (FIG.30). The Control-αCD3 bispecific (EIP0209) did not induce cytolysis from both naïve or exhausted T cells. [0568] Next, intracellular and cell surface markers of T cell activation and exhaustion in CD8 T cells from co-cultures of human PBMCs with MDA-MB-231 cells in the presence of bispecific, αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and the bispecific fusion, αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) was assessed. The following T cell markers: intracellular IL2, intracellular IFNγ, CD25, CD69, granzyme B (GRZMB), CD2, PD-1, CD38, and TIM3 were measured using flow cytometry after 72-hour incubation. The MFI for each marker was normalized for the ULBP2-CD3 bispecific and represented in a radar plot (FIG.31). Compared to the αULBP2-αCD3, αULBP2-αCD3-CD8, produced a distinct phenotype that is consistent with greater T cell activation as observed by the increased levels of IFNγ, CD25 and GZMB. In addition, T cells appeared to be less exhausted when treated with αULBP2- αCD3-CD58 bispecific fusion as evidenced by the reduction in CD38 and no increase seen for TIM3 compared to αULBP2-αCD3. As a negative control, the Control-αCD3 (EIP0209) which does not bind to any known target protein on MDA-MB-231 cells, did not induce expression in any of the markers. This is consistent with the mechanism of CD3 bispecifics which require the presence of the target for T cell activation to occur. [0569] T cell proliferation induced by CD3 affinity variant antibodies [0570] Differences in CD8+ T cell proliferation induced by bispecifics versus bispecific CD58 fusions across the different CD3 affinities were observed using a T cell stimulation assay. Freshly isolated naïve T cells were repeatedly exposed to Dynabeads coupled bispecifics and bispecfic CD58 fusions for successive rounds of 48-72 hour stimulation. Table 36 shows the CD8 T cell counts following each round of stimulation. As shown in Table 36, none of the bispecifics induce significant T cell proliferation beyond round 2 whereas all bispecific CD58 fusions continued to stimulate proliferation up to round 7.

[0572] Tumor studies with co-engrafted human T cells [0573] The activity of bispecific CD58 fusions with various CD3 affinities were evaluated in mouse xenograft study with human T cells and CORL-105 tumor cells co-engrafted simultaneously into flank of NSG mice. Mice were then dosed intravenously with bispecific CD58 fusions (EIP0359, EIP0562, EIP0568, EIP0561and EIP0564), bispecific (EIP0205) and non-targeting control (EIP0607) at 4 mg/kg biweekly for 3 weeks (FIG. 35A). The administration of three bispecific CD58 fusions, EIP0568, EIP0561, and EIP0564, prevented the growth of tumors. Two bispecific CD58 fusions, EIP0359 and EIP0562, were moderate in their ability to control tumor growth while the non-targeting control was the least effective among all bispecific CD58 fusions in inhibiting tumor growth. However, the bispecific lacking CD58 fusion appeared had little effect on tumor growth of all molecules tested. [0574] Fusion of CD58 improves T cell redirected killing using multiple tumor targeting antibodies [0575] CD58 fusion to asymmetric CD3 bispecifics using therapeutically validated antibodies cetuximab (EGFR), belantamab (BCMA), denintumab (CD19) and obexelimab (CD19) was demonstrated to lead to improvements in tumor cell cytotoxicity, as shown in FIGS.36A-36C. In FIG.36A, HCT116 colon carcinoma cells were co-cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0373 (CetuximabxCD3-01), EIP0535 (CetuximabxCD3-01xCD58), EIP0546 (ControlxCD3-01) and EIP0607 (ControlxCD3- A5xCD58). In FIG.36B, U266B1 multiple myeloma cells were co-cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0506 (BelantamabxCD3-01), EIP0524 (BelantamabxCD3- 01xCD58), and EIP0546 (ControlxCD3-01). In FIG.36C, JeKo-1 mantle lymphoma cells were co-cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0870 (DenintumabxCD3- A6xCD58), EIP0872 (ObexelimabxCD3-A5xCD58), and EIP0607 (ControlxCD3- A5xCD58). Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 [0576] In all 3 cell lines, the bispecific CD58 fusions showed improved tumor cell cytotoxicity compared to the bispecifics lacking the CD58 fusion. As expected, the non- targeted control bispecific and bispecific CD58 fusion did not show any activity. [0577] The modularity of CD58 can also lead to improvements tumor cell cytotoxicity when added to pre-existing CD3 bispecifics, as shown in FIGS.36D-36F. TNB-383B (BCMA), TNB-486 (CD19), and TNB-585 are CD3 bispecifics in various stages of clinical development. In FIG.36D, PSMA negative LNCAP prostate cancer cells (generated by CRISPR-Cas9 inactivation of PSMA gene) were transduced using PSMA encoding lentivirus to create a PSMA low LNCAP cell line. This cell line was co-cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0993 (TNB-585xCD8), EIP0992 (TNB-585), and EIP0607 (ControlxCD3-A5xCD58). In FIG.36E, MM1S multiple myeloma cells were co- cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0765 (TNB-383B), EIP0766 (TNB- 383BxCD58), EIP0546 (ControlxCD3-01), and EIP0607 (ControlxCD3-A5xCD58). In FIG.36F, Raji lymphoma cells were co-cultured with activated T cells in the presence of EIP0990 (TNB-486), EIP0991 (TNB-486xCD58), and EIP0607 (ControlxCD3-A5xCD58). [0578] In all three models, the fusion of CD58 to clinical CD3 bispecifics lead to significant improvements in cytotoxicity compared to bispecific itself. The superiority of the bispecific CD58 fusion was most significant in cell models with lower levels of target antigen. As expected, the non-targeted bispecific and non-targeted bispecific CD58 fusion did not show any activity. [0579] Engineered disulfide improves expression and increases homogeneity of antibodies [0580] An engineered disulfide through cysteine substitutions at Y370 and S375 (Kabat numbering) in the CH2 regions of TNB-383B sequence (Publication No. US20210403587A1) can improve expression titers and increased homogeneity of the antibody post protein A purification as observed by size exclusion chromatography, as shown in FIG.37.

[0582] EXAMPLE 9: In Vivo Characterization of Bispecific Antibodies with fusion peptides [0583] Expansion of T cells for in vivo studies [0584] T-cells were isolated from healthy PBMCs donors using StemCell T-cell isolation kit. OpTmizer media was supplemented with 2% human AB serum, 1X Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 penicillin/streptomycin, 4mM GlutaMAX, 2 mM Glutamine. Cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 in the supplemented OpTmizer media at 5×105 cells/mL and T cells were treated with αCD3 and αCD28 antibody coated Dynabeads at a ratio of 25 μL dynabeads per million cells for 48 hours. Following removal of Dynabeads, T cells were incubated with IL-7 (10 ng/ml) and IL-15 (10 ng/ml) in supplemented OpTmizer media for an additional 6 days. The supplemented media was replaced with freshly thawed cytokines (IL7 and IL15) every 48 hours. On day of adoptive transfer or Co-engraftment, the T-cells are harvested and a hemocytometer was used to determine cell number and viability. T cells were suspended in cold PBS and stored on ice for no longer than 30 minutes until injection. [0585] Tumor studies with adoptive human T cell transfer [0586] SiHa tumor cells were initially cultured from frozen stock in an DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) media and incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in treated cell culture flasks. Cells were then split every 2-3 days pending the cell density in the culture flasks. On the days of implantation cells were dissociated from the flask using TrypLE Select and washed twice with PBS. Five million SiHa cells resuspended in PBS and Matrigel at a 1:1 ratio were implanted subcutaneously into flank of NSG mice (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ, Jackson Laboratory) with each treatment cohort containing 8-10 mice. Tumor growth was monitored using electronic calipers and tumor volume were calculated according to the formula: 0.52 × (length × width2). When the tumors reached average size of 100 mm3, mice were randomized into following treatment groups where each group had similar mean tumor volumes with each group receiving Control-αCD3 (EIP0546), αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) at a dose level of 4 mg/kg) by tail vein infusion on Day 21 after the initial implantation. The following day (Day 22) all mice infused with 5 million activated human T cells. Mice were then dosed with bispecifics and control twice a week for 3 weeks. A second infusion of 5 million human T cells was performed on Day 44 and the following day (Day 45), mice received final dose of antibody. [0587] Both the bispecific αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and the bispecific fusion αULBP2- αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) were evaluated in NSG mice engrafted with cervical cancer cell line SiHa followed by adoptive transfer of activated human T cells (FIGS.32A-32C). In comparison to the control antibody, Control-αCD3 (EIP0546), both αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) inhibited tumor growth from the Attorney Docket No. EVIM-008/001WO 339013-2024 beginning of treatment (Day 21) to Day 45. Subsequently, tumors in the αULBP2-αCD3 treatment group expanded rapidly reaching similar size as the control group (900 mm3) whereas in the αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 treated group, tumors remained small and reaching only 350mm3 at the end of study. [0588] Pharmacodynamic study with tumor and human T cell co-engraftment [0589] A pharmacodynamic study was performed in which SiHa cells were co-engrafted with activated human T cells into NSG mice and treated with either the bispecific αULBP2- αCD3 (EIP0205) or the bispecific fusion αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) on the same day. Eight million SiHa cells and 1.6 million activated human T cells were implanted subcutaneously into flank of 9 NSG mice. The mice were then separated into 3 groups and treated with the following agents: Control-αCD3 (EIP0546), αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) and αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359) at a dose of 4 mg/kg by tail vein infusion immediately after co-engraftment. Three days later, all tumors from same treatment group were harvested and pooled prior to tumor dissociation. Single cell suspensions were then subjected to magnetic enrichment using human CD45 beads (Miltenyi) before analysis by flow cytometry using a panel of fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind to markers associated with changes in T cell phenotypes of activation, effector activity and exhaustion. [0590] As shown in FIGS.33A-33C, the bispecific fusion αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 (EIP0359), in comparison to the bispecific αULBP2-αCD3 (EIP0205) induced higher levels of granzyme B (FIG.33A) and CD25 (FIG.33B) while maintaining baseline CD38 (FIG. 33C) levels in CD8 T cells. The difference observed between aULBP2-αCD3 and αULBP2-αCD3-CD58 for these 3 markers is similar to what was previously observed in vitro (FIG.31). [0591] Pharmacokinetics of EIP0561 in cynomolgus monkey [0592] Nine cynomolgus monkeys were infused intravenously with EIP0561 with three dose levels (0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 mg/kg) and three animals per dose. Blood samples were collected at 0.030.5, 2, 8, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours and the concentrations of EIP0561 in the plasma were determined using sandwich ELISA (Table 38). Toxicokinetic parameters were also determined and shown in Table 39. [0593] Table 38. Concentration of EIP0561 per animal by time determined by sandwich ELISA.
