Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to immunoglobulin-related compositions (e.g., antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof) that can bind to and neutralize the activity of L1-CAM protein. The antibodies of the present technology are useful in methods for detecting and treating a L1-CAM-positive cancer in a subject in need thereof.

Claims (25)

1 . A multispecific antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain immunoglobulin variable domain (V H ) amino acid sequence and a light chain immunoglobulin variable domain (V L ) amino acid sequence that are present in

SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 13 (huE71 H1/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 14 (huE71 H1/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 13 (huE71 H2/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 14 (huE71 H2/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 17 and SEQ ID NO: 21 (huE72 H1/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 17 and SEQ ID NO: 22 (huE72 H1/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 18 and SEQ ID NO: 21 (huE72 H2/L1); or

SEQ ID NO: 18 and SEQ ID NO: 22 (huE72 H2/L2), respectively, wherein the multispecific antibody binds to LI-CAM and a small molecule DOTA hapten.

2 . The multispecific antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antigen binding fragment is selected from the group consisting of Fab, F(ab′) 2 , Fab′, scFv, and Fv.

3 . The multispecific antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment binds to an epitope of L1-CAM protein comprising at least five to eight consecutive amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO: 74 or SEQ ID NO: 75.

4 . A recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding the antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 .

5 . A host cell or vector comprising the recombinant nucleic acid sequence of claim 4 .

6 . A method for treating a L1-CAM associated cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of the multispecific antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 .

A method for treating a L1-CAM associated cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an anti-L1-CAM antibody or antigen binding fragment comprising a heavy chain immunoglobulin variable domain (VH) amino acid sequence and a light chain immunoglobulin variable domain (VL) amino acid sequence that are present in

SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 13 (huE71 H1/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 14 (huE71 H1/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 13 (huE71 H2/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 14 (huE71 H2/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 17 and SEQ ID NO: 21 (huE72 H1/L1);

SEQ ID NO: 17 and SEQ ID NO: 22 (huE72 H1/L2);

SEQ ID NO: 18 and SEQ ID NO: 21 (huE72 H2/L1); or

SEQ ID NO: 18 and SEQ ID NO: 22 (huE72 H2/L2), respectively.
