Figures & data
A bar graph plotting polyclonal phage binding to canine PD-1 by ELISA and showing an incremental increase in binding over four rounds of panning.
(left) A bar graph plotting eight monoclonal phages from the third and fourth panning rounds binding to cPD-1 by ELISA and showing a variability of binding intensity among clones. No binding is observed against the irrelevant human CD19 antigen. (right) A bar graph plotting additional eight monoclonal phages from the third and fourth panning rounds binding to cPD-1 by ELISA and showing a variability among clones of binding intensity. No binding is observed against the irrelevant canine IL-13Rα2 antigen and human CD19.
(A) A line graph plotting the binding of soluble scFvs as a function of increasing amounts of plate-bound cPD-1 by ELISA. Six out of 14 clones show dose-dependent increases in binding. No binding is seen with the irrelevant MERS soluble scFv. (B) A line graph plotting the binding of soluble scFvs against an increasing concentration of plate-bound cPD-1 by ELISA. Four out of six clones show dose-dependent increases in binding. No binding is seen with the irrelevant MERS soluble scFv.
A. A cartoon depicting the cPD-1:cPD-L1 inhibition assay. Biotinylated cPD-1 was incubated with cPD-L1 Fc and the complex was tethered to a streptavidin ELISA plate, and the amount of complex formation was provided via binding of an anti-Fc antibody. In the presence of a soluble scFv that inhibits the cPD-1:cPD-L1 interaction, no complex is formed and no signal is detected. B. A bar graph plotting the optical density of a colorimetric substance that provides a readout if a cPD-1:cPD-L1 complex is detected. Increasing amounts of cPD-L1 are added to cPD-1 in the presence of different soluble cPD-1 specific scFvs. Different scFvs show varying degrees of cPD-1:cPD-L1 complex inhibition, with complete inhibition resulting in no signal being detected with the P3C6 soluble scFv.
Individual flow cytometric plots of soluble scFv clones binding to target cells that do or do not express membrane-bound cPD-1. The plots show no binding of the irrelevant MERS scFv or cPD-1 ELISA-negative scFv 3–7 to target cells with or without cell surface cPD-1. Four out of six clones shown demonstrate binding to target cells expressing cPD-1 but no binding to the same target cells that do not express cPD-1.
Alignment of VH amino acid sequences of cPD-1 specific scFv clones showing high sequence homology among clones and with the canine IGHV3-38*01 VH gene. The amino acid sequences of the VL chains of clones P4B1 and P3C6 are also aligned and emphasize their very different sequences reflecting their lambda and kappa origins, respectively. B Individual flow cytometric plots of full-length IgGD antibodies containing mutations in the VH chain of P3C6 clone, binding to target cells expressing cPD-1 but not to the same target cells that do not express cPD-1, confirming cPD-1 binding specificity. The plots show no binding of the irrelevant MERS full-length antibody to target cells with or without cell surface cPD-1.
A. A histogram plot showing expression of cCD20 and cPD-L1 on target cells engineered to express each target antigen. Untransduced cells do not express cCD20 or cPD-L1. B. A histogram plot with overlays showing cell proliferation by CTV dilution. Expression of cPD-L1 on target cells inhibits T cell proliferation shown by less CTV dilution. In the presence of the P3C6mut3.1 antibody, the histograms of T cell proliferation against cPD-L1 positive and negative cells overlap. C. Flow cytometric plots showing a degranulation marker on the X-axis against forward scatter on the Y-axis. Each plot shows canine CAR-T cells cultured with target cells expressing cCD20 with or without cPD-L1 in the presence of an irrelevant antibody or P3C6mut3.1 antibody. In the presence of the latter antibody, the inhibitory effect of cPD-L1 on T cell degranulation is much reduced.
Two line graphs showing a biexponential serum concentration against time profile and dose normalized PK profiles of two different doses of P3C6mut3.1 IgGD/B antibody. The graphs show similar serum drug concentrations after a second dose of P3C6mut3.1 IgGD/B antibody suggesting the lack of anti-drug antibody formation.
