Abstract

There is disclosed compositions and methods relating to or derived from anti-PD-L1 antibodies. More specifically, there is disclosed fully human antibodies that bind PD-L1, PD-L1-binding fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, and PD-L1-binding polypeptides comprising such fragments. Further still, there is disclosed nucleic acids encoding such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, cells comprising such polynucleotides, methods of making such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, and methods of using such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, including methods of treating or diagnosing subjects having PD-L1 related disorders or conditions, including various inflammatory disorders and various cancers.

Claims (19)

1. A recombinant fully human anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising a heavy chain variable domain comprising complementarity determining regions (CDRs) as set forth in the heavy chain variable domain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221; and comprising a light chain variable domain comprising CDRs as set forth in the light chain variable domain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

2. The anti-PD-L1 antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is an IgG.

3. The anti-PD-L1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable domain comprises a sequence at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221, and the light chain variable domain comprises a sequence at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

4. The anti-PD-L1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable domain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221, and the light chain variable domain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

5. The antigen binding fragment of the anti-PD-L1 antibody of claim 1 , wherein the fragment is a Fab fragment.

6. The antigen binding fragment of the anti-PD-L1 antibody of claim 1 , wherein the fragment is a single chain human antibody.

7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the anti-PD-L1 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

8. A method of treating a human subject having cancer comprising administering an effective amount of the anti-PD-L1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 .

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of ovarian cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, myeloma, a neuroblastic-derived CNS tumor, a monocytic leukemia, a B-cell derived leukemia, a T-cell derived leukemia, a B-cell derived lymphoma, a T-cell derived lymphoma, skin cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, bone cancer, cartilage cancer, liver cancer, lymph node cancer, nervous tissue cancer, skeletal muscle cancer, spinal cord cancer, spleen cancer, brain cancer, colorectal cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, vaginal cancer, kidney cancer, thymus cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer, cancer of the urogenital tract, cancer of the ureter, cancer of the urethra, cancer of the uterus, cancer of the testes, and a mast cell derived tumor.

10. A method for treating a human subject having cancer, said method comprising administering an effective amount of the fully human antibody Fab fragment of claim 5 to the human subject.

11. A method for treating a human subject having cancer, said method comprising administering an effective amount of the single chain human antibody of claim 6 to the human subject.

12. A nucleic acid encoding an antibody heavy chain variable domain comprising complementarity determining regions (CDRs) as set forth in the heavy chain variable domain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221, and comprising an antibody light chain variable domain comprising CDRs as set forth in the light chain variable domain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

13. The nucleic acid of claim 12 , wherein the heavy chain variable domain comprises a sequence at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221, and the light chain variable domain comprises a sequence at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

14. The nucleic acid of claim 12 , wherein the antibody heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 221, and the antibody light chain comprises a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 222.

15. The nucleic acid of claim 12 , wherein the antibody is an IgG, a Fab fragment, or a single chain human antibody.

16. An expression vector comprising a promoter operably linked to the nucleic acid of claim 12 .

17. A host cell harboring the nucleic acid of claim 12 or an expression vector comprising a promoter operably linked to the nucleic acid of claim 12 .

18. A method for expressing a recombinant fully human anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising culturing a population of the host cell of claim 17 under conditions suitable for expressing the recombinant fully human anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising recovering from the host cell population the expressed recombinant fully human anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
