Abstract:
Provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that bind MSR1 and methods of use thereof. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies bind human MSR1 with high affinity. In certain embodiments, the antibodies bind MSR1 without blocking, or blocking less than 90%, of modified LDL binding to MSR1. In some embodiments, the antibodies bind cell surface expressed-MSR1 and are internalized. The antibodies of the invention may be fully human antibodies. The invention includes anti-MSR1 antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, conjugated to drugs or therapeutic compounds.
Abstract:
The protein known as six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 2 (STEAP2) is highly expressed in prostate cancer and is associated with the expression of other prostate cancer-associated genes. The present invention provides novel full-length human IgG antibodies that bind to human STEAP2 (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both STEAP2 and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of STEAP2 -expressing tumors. According to certain embodiments, the present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human and monkey CD3, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds humanSTEAP2. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing STEAP2. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of prostate diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced STEAP2 -targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of prostate cancers, including castrate-resistant prostate cancer. The present invention also includes anti-STEAP2 antibody drug conjugates which inhibit tumor growth in vivo.
