Description:
B7H4-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Methods of Use Thereof RELATED APPLICATIONS [001] This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/133,707 filed January 4, 2021 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/172,968 filed April 9, 2021. The contents of each of these applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF SEQUENCE LISTING [002] The contents of the text file named “MRSN-034_001WO_SeqList.txt”, which was created on January 3, 2022 and is 118 KB in size, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND [003] B7-H4, also known as B7-H4, B7x, B7S1, B7-S1, and VTCN1, is a Type I transmembrane protein and is a member of the B7 superfamily of proteins that provides co-signal in conjunction with a T-cell receptor antigenic signal. B7-H4 is a negative regulator of T-cell function and ligation of T-cells inhibits their growth, cytokine secretion and cytotoxicity. Elimination of B7-H4 in mice does not affect immune cell homeostasis and no signs of autoimmunity. The receptor for B7-H4 is unknown and unidentified. [004] Human B7-H4 has been mapped on chromosome 1 and is comprised of six exons and five introns spanning 66 kb, of which exon 6 is used for alternative splicing to generate two different transcripts. It is a 282 amino acid protein (including the amino-terminal signal sequence), of which -227 amino acids are predicted to be in the extracellular space following cleavage of the amino- terminal signal sequence. B7-H4 comprises an Ig-like V-domain, an Ig- like C domain, a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail. [005] While B7-H4 expression in healthy tissues is relatively limited at the protein level, B7-H4 is consistently overexpressed in several solid tumors such as gynecological carcinomas of the breast, ovary, and endometrium. Expression of B7-H4 in tumors tends to correlate with poor prognosis. The receptor for B7-H4 is unknown, but it is believed to be expressed on T cells. B7- H4 is believed to directly inhibit T cell activity. [006] A wide variety of therapeutic modalities are available for the treatment of advanced cancers including radiotherapy, conventional chemotherapy with cytotoxic antitumor agents, hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors, luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone analogues), bisphosphonates and signal-transduction inhibitors. Unfortunately, however, many patients either respond poorly or not at all to any of these therapeutic modalities. Thus, there is a need to identify new therapeutic agents that target the biological activities of B7-H4. [007] Accordingly, there exists a need for therapies that target the biological activities of B7-H4. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [008] In some aspects, the disclosure provides an isolated antibody that specifically binds B7-H4 comprising a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDRH1) comprising the amino acid sequence GFIVSRNY (SEQ ID NO: 2), a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRH2) comprising the amino acid sequence IYGSGRT (SEQ ID NO: 3), a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRH3) comprising the amino acid sequence ARDADYGLDV (SEQ ID NO: 16) or the amino acid sequence ARDADYGMDV (SEQ ID NO: 10), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDRL1) comprising the amino acid sequence QSVSSSY (SEQ ID NO: 53), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRL2) comprising the amino acid sequence GAS (SEQ ID NO: 54), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRL3) comprising the amino acid sequence QQYGSSPLYT (SEQ ID NO: 55).

In some aspects, the isolated antibody is an IgG isotype. In some aspects, the isolated antibody is an IgG1 isotype. [011] In some aspects, the isolated antibody competes for specific binding to human B7-H4 with an isolated antibody comprising a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDRH1) comprising the amino acid sequence GFIVSRNY (SEQ ID NO: 2), a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRH2) comprising the amino acid sequence IYGSGRT (SEQ ID NO: 3), a variable heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRH3) comprising the amino acid sequence ARDADYGLDV (SEQ ID NO: 16), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDRL1) comprising the amino acid sequence QSVSSSY (SEQ ID NO: 53), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRL2) comprising the amino acid sequence GAS (SEQ ID NO: 54), a variable light chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRL3) comprising the amino acid sequence QQYGSSPLYT (SEQ ID NO: 55).In some aspects, the isolated antibody competes for specific binding to human B7-H4 with an isolated antibody comprising a heavy chain variable sequence comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 44 and a light chain variable sequence comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 50 or with an isolated antibody comprising a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 45 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 52.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [038] The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind the human B7- H4 in soluble form, or membrane bound (i.e., when expressed on a cell surface). The invention further provides monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind B7-H4. These antibodies are collectively referred to herein as “B7-H4” antibodies. DEFINITIONS [039] The chemical names provided for the intermediate compounds and/or the compounds of this disclosure described herein may refer to any one of the tautomeric representations of such compounds (in some instances, such alternate names are provided with the experimental). It is to be understood that any reference to a named compound (an intermediate compound or a compound of the disclosure) or a structurally depicted compound (an intermediate compound or a compound of the disclosure) is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms including zwitterionic forms of such compounds and any mixture thereof. [040] It is to be understood that the terms “In some embodiments”, “In some embodiments of the present disclosure”, and “In some embodiments of a compound of the present disclosure” may be used interchangeably where appropriate. [041] The term “about”, “approximately”, or “approximate”, when used in connection with a numerical value, means that a collection or range of values is included. In some embodiments, “about X” includes a range of values that are ±25%, ±20%, ±15%, ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, ±0.5%, ±0.2%, or ±0.1% of X, where X is a numerical value. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 5% more or less than the specified value. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 2% more or less than the specified value. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 1% more or less than the specified value. [042] Recitation of ranges of values are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. A range used herein, unless otherwise specified, includes the two limits of the range. In some embodiments, the expressions “x being an integer between 1 and 6” and “x being an integer of 1 to 6” both mean “x being 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6”, i.e., the terms “between X and Y” and “range from X to Y, are inclusive of X and Y and the integers there between. [043] As utilized in accordance with the present disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings: [044] As used herein, the terms "anti-B7-H4 antibody", “B7-H4 antibody” and "an antibody that binds to B7-H4" refer to an antibody that is capable of binding B7-H4 with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent in targeting B7-H4. [045] The term "B7-H4," as used herein, refers to any native, mature B7-H4 which results from processing of a B7-H4 precursor protein in a cell. The term includes B7-H4 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g. humans and cynomolgus monkeys) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. The term also includes naturally occurring variants of B7-H4, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. [046] The term "B7-H4-positive cancer" refers to a cancer comprising cells that express B7-H4 on their surface. In some embodiments, expression of B7-H4 on the cell surface is determined, for example, using antibodies to B7-H4 in a method such as immunohistochemistry, FACS, etc. [047] Alternatively, B7-H4 mRNA expression is considered to correlate to B7-H4 expression on the cell surface and can be determined by a method selected from in situ hybridization and RT- PCR (including quantitative RT-PCR). [048] The term "B7-H4-positive cell" refers to a cell that expresses B7-H4 on its surface. [049] The term "antibody" as used herein, is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. Various methods are known in the art for numbering the amino acids sequences of antibodies and identification of the 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). [050] The term "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody and that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g. scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. [051] The term "antibody that binds to the same epitope" as a reference antibody as used herein, refers to an antibody that blocks binding of the reference antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more, and conversely, the reference antibody blocks binding of the antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more. An exemplary competition assay is provided herein. [052] The term "class" of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or constant region possessed by its heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgGi, IgG2, IgG3, IgG 4 , IgAi, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. [053] The term "monoclonal antibody" as used herein, refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, such methods and other exemplary methods for making monoclonal antibodies being described herein. [054] The term a "naked antibody" refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety or STING agonist drug moiety). The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical formulation. [055] The term "native antibodies" refer to naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecules with varying structures. For example, native IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From N- to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain or a heavy chain variable domain, followed by three constant domains (CHI, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from - to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain or a light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light (CL) domain. The light chain of an antibody may be assigned to one of two types, called kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain. [056] An "isolated antibody" is one which has been separated from a component of its natural environment. In some embodiments, an antibody is purified to greater than 95% or 99% purity as determined by, for example, electrophoretic (e.g., SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis) or chromatographic (e.g., ion exchange or reverse phase HPLC). For review of methods for assessment of antibody purity, see, e.g., Flatman et al., J. Chromatogr. B 848:79-87 (2007). [057] The term "epitope" refers to the particular site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds. [058] The term “humanized antibody” of an antibody refers to an antibody that is derived from a non-human antibody (e.g., murine) that retains or substantially retains the antigen-binding properties of the parent antibody but is less immunogenic in humans. Humanized as used herein is intended to include deimmunized antibodies. [059] The term "humanized form" of an antibody, e.g., a non-human antibody, refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization. [060] The term “competes with” or “cross-competes with” when used herein in the context of two or more antibodies, indicates that the two or more antibodies compete for binding to B7-H4, e.g., compete for B7-H4 binding. An antibody “blocks” or “cross-blocks” one or more other antibodies from binding to B7-H4 if the antibody competes with the one or more other antibodies 25% or more, with 25%-74% representing “partial block” and 75%-400% representing “full block”. Unless otherwise defined or negated by context, the terms “competes with”, “cross- competes with”, “blocks” or “cross-blocks” when used herein is also intended to cover such pairs of antibodies. [061] As used herein, an antibody that "specifically binds to human B7-H4" is intended to refer to an antibody that binds to human B7-H4 with a K D of 1 x l0 -7 or less, more typically 5 x 10 -8 M or less, more typically 3 x 10 -8 M or less, more typically 1 x 10 -9 M or less, even more typically 5 x 10 -9 M or less. [062] The term "does not substantially bind" to a protein or cells, as used herein, means does not bind or does not bind with a high affinity to the protein or cells, i.e. binds to the protein or cells with a K D of 1 x 10 -8 M or more, more preferably 1 x 10 -5 M or more, more preferably 1 x 10 -4 M or more, more preferably 1 x 10 -3 M or more, even more preferably 1 x 10 -2 M or more. [063] The term “cytotoxic agents” or “cytotoxic drug moiety” refer to compounds which cause cell death primarily by interfering directly with the cell's functioning or inhibit or interfere with cell myosis, including, but not limited to, alkylating agents, tumor necrosis factors, intercalators, microtubulin inhibitors, and topoisomerase inhibitors. [064] The term “STING agonist”, as used herein, refers to a compound or moiety which is capable of interacting with STING, e.g., by binding to STING and/or inducing downstream signal transduction (e.g., characterized by activation of the molecules associated with STING function). This includes direct phosphorylation of STING, IRF3 and/or NF-kB and could also include STAT6. In some embodiments, STING pathway activation results in increased production of type 1 interferons (mainly IFN-a and IFN-b) and/or expression of interferon-stimulated genes. [065] The term “STING agonist drug moiety”, as used herein, refers to a moiety derived from a STING agonist and capable of interacting with STING. In some embodiments, the STING agonist drug moiety is a STING agonist that is modified to allow for the moiety to be linked to the rest of a conjugate of the present disclosure. [066] The term “sugar" refers to a monosaccharide, for example glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), mannose (Man) and fucose (Fuc). The term "sugar derivative" refers to a derivative of a monosaccharide sugar, i.e. a monosaccharide sugar comprising substituents and/or functional groups. Examples of a sugar derivative include, but are not limited to, amino sugars and sugar acids. Examples of a sugar derivative also include compounds denoted as S’(F’) X1 , wherein S’ is a sugar or a sugar derivative, F’ is a functional group and x 1 indicates the number of functional groups. [067] The term “core-GlcNAc moiety”, as used herein, refers to a monosaccharide, polysaccharide, or oligosaccharide moiety comprising a GlcNAc (e.g., a core-GlcNAc) which is attached to an antibody (e.g., via the C1 position of the GlcNAc). In some embodiments, the GlcNAc is attached to the antibody via an N-glycosidic bond to the amide nitrogen atom in the side chain of an asparagine amino acid of the antibody. In some embodiments, the core-GlcNAc moiety is present at a native glycosylation site of an antibody or is introduced on a different site on the antibody. In some embodiments, the core-GlcNAc moiety is a monosaccharide (e.g., the core-GlcNAc moiety is also a terminal-GlcNAc moiety). In some embodiments, the core-GlcNAc moiety further comprises a fucose, e.g., the core-GlcNAc moiety is a disaccharide core-GlcNAc- (α1-6-Fuc) moiety (which may be referred to as GlcNAc(Fuc)). Thus, when antibody comprises a core-GlcNAc moiety, the antibody may comprise a monosaccharide or a disaccharide core- GlcNAc moiety, and the core-GlcNAc moiety may further comprise a fucose (e.g., a disaccharide core-GlcNAc(Fuc) moiety). If the core-GlcNAc moiety further comprises a fucose, the fucose may be linked α-1,6 to O-6 of the core-GlcNAc moiety. A core-GlcNAc moiety further comprising a fucose may be referred to as core-GlcNAc(Fuc). [068] The term “core-GlcNAc” refers to the inner GlcNAc that is a portion of a polysaccharide or oligosaccharide, wherein the polysaccharide or oligosaccharide is attached to an antibody via the inner GlcNAc. [069] The term “terminal-GlcNAc moiety”, as used herein, refers to a moiety comprising a GlcNAc which is attached to an antibody and has a terminal functional group being available for further modification (e.g., with a compound of P”-S”-A”). In some embodiments, the terminal- GlcNAc moiety further comprises a fucose. In some embodiments, the terminal-GlcNAc moiety is formed by reacting the core-GlcNAc moiety of a glycoprotein (e.g., an antibody glycan) with an endoglycosidase. [070] The term "nucleotide" is used in its normal scientific meaning and refers to a molecule that is composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2-deoxyribose), and one, two or three phosphate groups. Without the phosphate group, the nucleobase and sugar compose a nucleoside. A nucleotide can thus also be referred to as a nucleoside monophosphate, a nucleoside diphosphate or a nucleoside triphosphate. The nucleobase may be adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil or thymine. [071] The term "protein" is used in its normal scientific meaning and includes polypeptides comprising about 10 or more amino acids. A protein may comprise natural or unnatural amino acids. [072] The term "glycoprotein" is herein used in its normal scientific meaning and refers to a protein comprising one or more monosaccharide or oligosaccharide chains ("glycans") covalently bonded to the protein. A glycan may be attached to a hydroxyl group on the protein (O-linked- glycan), to an amide function on the protein (N-glycoprotein), or to a carbon on the protein (C- glycoprotein). A glycoprotein may comprise more than one glycan, may comprise a combination of one or more monosaccharide and one or more oligosaccharide glycans, and may comprise a combination of N-linked, O-linked and C-linked glycans. It is estimated that more than 50% of all proteins have some form of glycosylation and therefore qualify as glycoprotein. [073] The term "glycan" is herein used in its normal scientific meaning and refers to a monosaccharide or oligosaccharide chain that is linked to a protein. Glycan thus refers to the carbohydrate-part of a glycoprotein. The glycan is attached to a protein via the C-1 carbon of one sugar, which may be without further substitution (monosaccharide) or may be further substituted at one or more of its hydroxyl groups (oligosaccharide). A naturally occurring glycan typically comprises 1 to about 10 saccharide moieties. However, when a longer saccharide chain is linked to a protein, said saccharide chain is also considered a glycan. A glycan of a glycoprotein may be a monosaccharide. A glycan may also be an oligosaccharide. An oligosaccharide chain of a glycoprotein may be linear or branched. In an oligosaccharide, the sugar that is directly attached to the protein is called the core sugar. In an oligosaccharide, a sugar that is not directly attached to the protein and is attached to at least two other sugars is called an internal sugar. In an oligosaccharide, a sugar that is not directly attached to the protein but to a single other sugar, i.e. carrying no further sugar substituents at one or more of its other hydroxyl groups, is called the terminal sugar. For the avoidance of doubt, there may exist multiple terminal sugars in an oligosaccharide of a glycoprotein, but only one core sugar. A glycan may be an O-linked glycan, an N-linked glycan, or a C-linked glycan. In a delinked glycan, a monosaccharide or oligosaccharide glycan is bonded to a C-atom in an amino acid of the protein. [074] The term “glycosyltransferase” refers to a superfamily of enzymes that are involved in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates present on glycoproteins and glycolipids. [075] The term “N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase” (GalNAc-T) is a N-acetyl-D- galactosamine transferase enzyme that catalyzes the addition of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine to proteins.

Hydrophilic Group (Variable T 1 ) [396] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic group included in the conjugates or scaffolds of the disclosure is a water-soluble and substantially non-antigenic polymer. Examples of the hydrophilic group, include, but are not limited to, polyalcohols, polyethers, polyanions, polycations, polyphosphoric acids, polyamines, polysaccharides, polyhydroxy compounds, polylysines, and derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, one end of the hydrophilic group can be functionalized so that it can be covalently attached to the M A linker (e.g., to an amino acid in the M A linker) by means of a non-cleavable linkage or via a cleavable linkage. In some embodiments, functionalization can be, for example, via an amine, thiol, NHS ester, maleimide, alkyne, azide, carbonyl, or other functional group. In some embodiments, the other terminus (or termini) of the hydrophilic group will be free and untethered. In some embodiments, by “untethered”, it is meant that the hydrophilic group will not be attached to another moiety, such as D or a Drug Unit, or other components of the conjugates or scaffolds of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the free and untethered end of the hydrophilic group may include a methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol or other suitable functional group. In some embodiments, the methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional group acts as a cap for the terminus or termini of the hydrophilic group. [397] In some embodiments, a cleavable linkage refers to a linkage that is not substantially sensitive to cleavage while circulating in the plasma but is sensitive to cleavage in an intracellular or intratumoral environment. In some embodiments, a non-cleavable linkage is one that is not substantially sensitive to cleavage in any biological environment. In some embodiments, chemical hydrolysis of a hydrazone, reduction of a disulfide, and enzymatic cleavage of a peptide bond or glycosidic linkage are examples of cleavable linkages. In some embodiments, exemplary attachments of the hydrophilic group are via amide linkages, ether linkages, ester linkages, hydrazone linkages, oxime linkages, disulfide linkages, peptide linkages, or triazole linkages. In some embodiments, the attachment of the hydrophilic group to the M A linker (e.g., to an amino acid in the M A linker) is via an amide linkage. [398] In some embodiments wherein the conjugate or scaffold of the disclosure comprises more than one hydrophilic groups, the multiple hydrophilic groups may be the same or different chemical moieties (e.g., hydrophilic groups of different molecular weight, number of subunits, or chemical structure). In some embodiments, the multiple hydrophilic groups can be attached to the M A linker at a single attachment site or different sites. [399] In some embodiments, the addition of the hydrophilic group may have two potential impacts upon the pharmacokinetics of the resulting conjugate. In some embodiments, the desired impact is the decrease in clearance (and consequent in increase in exposure) that arises from the reduction in non-specific interactions induced by the exposed hydrophobic elements of the drug or drug-linker. In some embodiments, the undesired impact is the decrease in volume and rate of distribution that may arise from the increase in the molecular weight of the conjugate. In some embodiments, increasing the molecular weight of the hydrophilic group increases the hydrodynamic radius of a conjugate, resulting in decreased diffusivity that may diminish the ability of the conjugate to penetrate into a tumor. Because of these two competing pharmacokinetic effects, it may be desirable to use a hydrophilic group that is sufficiently large to decrease the conjugate clearance thus increasing plasma exposure, but not so large as to greatly diminish its diffusivity, which may reduce the ability of the conjugate to reach the intended target cell population. [400] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic group, includes, but is not limited to, a sugar alcohol (also known as polyalcohol, polyhydric alcohol, alditol or glycitol, such as inositol, glycerol, erythritol, threitol, arabitol, xylitol, ribitol, galactitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and the like) or a derivative thereof (e.g., amino polyalcohol), carbohydrate(e.g., a saccharide), a polyvinyl alcohol, a carbohydrate-based polymer (e.g., dextrans), a hydroxypropylmethacrylamide (HPMA), a polyalkylene oxide, and/or a copolymer thereof. [401] In some embodiments, T 1 comprises a plurality of hydroxyl (“-OH”) groups, such as moieties that incorporate monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and the like.

[466] In some embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure are characterized by particular functional features or properties of the antibodies. For example, the antibodies bind specifically to human B7-H4. Typically, an antibody of this disclosure binds to B7-H4 with high affinity, for example with a K D of 1 x 10 -7 M or less. The anti-B7-H4 antibodies of this disclosure typically exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (a) binds to human B7-H4 with a K D of 1 x 10 -7 M or less; and/or (b) binds to human CHO cells transfected with B7-H4 (e.g. human B7-H4).

[468] Standard assays to evaluate the binding ability of the antibodies toward B7-H4 are known in the art, including for example, ELISAs, Western blots, RIAs and flow cytometry analysis. The binding kinetics (e.g., binding affinity) of the antibodies also can be assessed by standard assays known in the art, such as by ELISA, Scatchard and Biacore® system analysis. [469] A potential therapeutic mAbs must not only bind to their target but must also be free from “developability issues” such as poor stability or high levels of aggregation. We describe guideline values for five metrics thought to be implicated in poor developability: the total length of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), the extent and magnitude of surface hydrophobicity, positive charge and negative charge in the CDRs, and asymmetry in the net heavy- and light-chain surface charges. The guideline cutoffs for each property were derived from the values seen in CSTs, and a flagging system is proposed to identify nonconforming candidates. [470] An exemplary B7-H4 antibody of the disclosure include B7-H4_2F9 (also referred to herein in as the “B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody”, “2F9 parental antibody “or “parental antibody” which was disclosed in U.S. Pa. No.8,609,816, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [471] A potential therapeutic mAbs must not only bind to their target but must also be free from “developability issues” such as poor stability, high levels of aggregation, low-level expression, low solubility, covalent integrity, conformational and colloidal instability, high polyspecificity, and high immunogenicity. [472] According the B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody sequence was analyzed for metrics thought to be implicated in poor developability, such as for example, the total length of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), the extent and magnitude of surface hydrophobicity, positive charge and negative charge in the CDRs, asymmetry in the net heavy- and light-chain surface charges and post-translational modifications (PTMs). This developability analysis of the B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody sequence revealed three potential sequence liabilities. In particular, the B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody sequence had an unpaired cysteine residue, an aspartate isomerization sequence, and a methionine oxidation site. Each of these three sequence liabilities could create potential development such as stability, potency, and homogeneity of an antibody, and can result in a complicated process in downstream development. [473] In order to address the potential sequence liabilities of the B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody, twenty (20) variants of B7-H4_2F9 were designed and generated that addressed these potential developability concerns. These variant antibodies included B7-H4_2F9V1, B7-H4_2F9V2, B7- H4_2F9V3, B7-H4_2F9V4 , B7-H4_2F9V5, B7-H4_2F9V6, B7-H4_2F9V7, B7-H4_2F9V8, B7-H4_2F9V9, B7-H4_2F9V10, B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V12, B7-H4_2F9V13, B7- H4_2F9V14, B7-H4_2F9V15, B7-H4_2F9V16, B7-H4_2F9V17, B7-H4_2F9V18, B7- H4_2F9V19, and B7-H4_2F9V20. Each of the 20 variants were characterized for B7-H4 binding, polyspecificity, and other properties. [474] The nucleic acid and amino acid sequence of the monoclonal B7-H4 antibodies of the disclosure are provided below. The complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of the heavy chain and the light chain are underlined in the amino acid sequences presented below. The amino acids encompassing the complementarity determining regions (CDR) as shown below are defined in accordance to the IMGT numbering system (See IMGT ® , the international ImMunoGeneTics information system ® . Available online: http://www.imgt.org/). B7-H42F9 Variable Regions [475] All of the twenty B7-H42F9 parental variants (i.e., B7-H4_2F9V1 through B7-H4_ 2F9V20) share a common light chain variable region.

[502] It is well known in the art that the CDR3 domain, independently from the CDRl and/or CDR2 domain(s) alone can determine the binding specificity of a B7-H4 antibody for a cognate antigen and that multiple antibodies can predictably be generated having the same binding specificity based on a common CDR3 sequence. [503] In some embodiments, the antibodies comprise one or more heavy and/or light chain CDR3 domain from a non-human antibody, such as a mouse or rat antibody, wherein the monoclonal antibody is capable of specifically binding to B7-H4.

These antibodies show specificity for human B7-H4 and they have been shown to inhibit the functional activity of B7-H4 in vitro. Production of B7-H4 Antibodies [547] B7-H4 antibodies are generated, for example, using the methods described in the Examples provided herein. Alternatively, or in addition, various procedures known within the art may be used for the production of monoclonal antibodies directed against B7-H4, 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; Kozbor, et al., 1983 Immunol Today 4: 72); Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96; Cote, et al., 1983. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80: 2026-2030; Cole, et al., 1985 In: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CANCER THERAPY, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96; each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety). [548] Monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein include fully human antibodies or humanized antibodies. These antibodies are suitable for administration to humans without engendering an immune response by the human against the administered immunoglobulin. A humanized or fully human B7-H4 antibody is developed, for example, using phage-display methods using antibodies containing only human sequences. Such approaches are well-known in the art, e.g., in WO92/01047 and U.S. Pat. No.6,521,404, which are hereby incorporated by reference. [549] 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; incorporated herein by reference) [550] The invention also includes F v , F ab , F ab’ and F (ab’)2 anti-B7-H4 fragments or anti-B7-H4 fragments, single chain anti-B7-H4 antibodies, multispecific antibodies in which at least one arm binds B7-H4, and heteroconjugate anti-B7-H4 antibodies. [551] Bispecific antibodies are antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. In the present case, one of the binding specificities is for B7-H4. The second binding target is any other antigen, including a cell-surface protein or receptor or receptor subunit. [552] Methods for making bispecific antibodies are known in the art. Traditionally, the recombinant production of bispecific 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)). [553] Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g., F(ab’) 2 bispecific antibodies). Techniques for generating bispecific antibodies from antibody fragments have been described in the literature. [554] Antibodies with more than two valencies are contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. Tutt et al., J. Immunol. 147:60 (1991). [555] Exemplary bispecific antibodies can bind to two different epitopes, at least one of which originates in the protein antigen disclosed herein. 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 (FcγR), such as FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32) and FcγRIII (CD16) so as to focus cellular defense mechanisms to the cell expressing the particular antigen. Bispecific antibodies can also be used to direct cytotoxic agents to cells which express a 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 bispecific antibody of interest binds the protein antigen described herein and further binds tissue factor (TF). [556] 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. [557] It can be desirable to modify the antibody disclosed herein with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, e.g., the effectiveness of the antibody in treating diseases and disorders associated with aberrant B7-H4 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)). Cysteine Engineered B7-H4 Antibodies [558] In some embodiments, the cysteine engineered B7-H4 antibody directs the conjugates comprising a peptide linker to specific tissues, cells, or locations in a cell. In some embodiments, the cysteine engineered B7-H4 antibody comprises an engineered cysteine. [559] In some embodiments, the B7-H4 cysteine engineered antibody or antibody fragment is a B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment in which one or more amino acids of the corresponding parent antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., the corresponding wild type B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment) are substituted with cysteines (e.g., engineered cysteine). In some embodiments, the parent B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment are those described herein. [560] In some embodiments, the B7-H4 antibody is engineered to form the cysteine engineered antibody. In some embodiments, the cysteine engineered B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment retains the antigen binding capability of its corresponding wild type B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the cysteine engineered antibody or antibody fragment is capable of binding to the one or more antigens for its corresponding wild type B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment. [561] In some embodiments, the engineered cysteine is not a part of an intrachain or interchain disulfide unit. In some embodiments, the engineered cysteine contains a free thiol group that is reactive with an electrophilic functionality. In some embodiments, the engineered cysteine (e.g., the free thiol group thereof) on the B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment surface may allow for conjugation of the B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment with a Linker-Drug moiety comprising a thiol-reactive group (e.g., a maleimide or a haloacetyl). [562] It is understood that substituting one or more non-cysteine amino acids in a B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment with cysteines may create one or more engineered cysteines as available sites for conjugation. In some embodiments, by substituting a non-cysteine amino acid in a B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment with cysteine, a reactive thiol group is positioned as an accessible site of the antibody or antibody fragment and may be used to conjugate the antibody or antibody fragment to other moieties (e.g., drug moieties, or Linker-Drug moieties), and to create the conjugate of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the amino acid at V205 (Kabat or EU numbering) of the light chain, or A118 or S442 of the heavy chain (EU numbering) of a parent B7-H4 antibody or antibody fragment is substituted with cysteine. In some embodiments, cysteine engineered antibodies may be generated as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No.7,521,541.

[605] In some embodiments, the process for the preparation of a modified B7-H4 antibody is performed in a suitable buffer solution, e.g., buffered saline (e.g. phosphate-buffered saline, Tris- buffered saline), citrate, HEPES, Tris and glycine. In some embodiments, the buffer solution is phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or Tris buffered saline. In some embodiments, the buffer solution is phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). [606] In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 4 to about 50 °C. In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 10 to about 45 °C. In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 20 to about 40 °C. In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 30 to about 37 °C. In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature of about 30 °C. In some embodiments, the process is performed at a temperature of 30 °C. [607] In some embodiments, the process is performed at a pH value ranging from about 5 to about 9 (e.g., from about 5.5 to about 8.5, from about 6 to about 8, or from about 7 to about 8). In some embodiments, the process is performed at a pH value of about 7.4. [608] In some embodiments, the process for the preparation of a modified B7-H4 antibody is as shown in FIG.4. [609] In some embodiments, the process for the preparation of a modified B7-H4 antibody comprises: (a) contacting a glycoprotein (e.g., a B7-H4 antibody glycan) comprising a B7-H4 antibody and core-GlcNAc moiety connected to site N297 of the antibody, with endoglycosidase Endo SH, thereby forming an intermediate antibody comprising a terminal GlcNAc moiety; and (b) contacting the intermediate antibody with 4-AzGalNAc-UDP in the presence of a β- (l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme, thereby forming the modified B7-H4 antibody comprising the modified- GlcNAc moiety; wherein steps (a) and (b) are conducted concurrently. [610] In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase is Endo SH, a fusion between the two endoglycosidases, Endo S and Endo H, linked by a Gly-rich spacer comprising an internal 6xHis tag resulting in an overall molecular weight of 139 kDa. [611] In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme comprises an N-terminal 6xHis tag and has an overall molecular weight of 45.7 kDa. In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme containing an N-terminal 6xHis tag is derived from Trichopulsia ni. [612] In some embodiments, the process is conducted in PBS buffer at pH value of about 7.4 and at a temperature of about 30 o C. Endoglycosidases [613] Endoglycosidases are enzymes that are capable of cleaving internal glycosidic linkages in glycan structures, thereby remodeling or trimming the glycan structure. For example, endoglycosidases can be used for the facile homogenization of heterogeneous glycan populations, when they cleave at predictable sites within conserved glycan regions. One class of endoglycosidases comprises the endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.96, commonly known as Endo S or ENGases), a class of hydrolytic enzymes that removes N-glycans from glycoproteins by hydrolyzing the β-l,4-glycosidic bond in the Ν,Ν'-diacetylchitobiose core (as described in Wong et al. Chem. Rev.2011, 111, 4259, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), leaving a single core N-linked GlcNAc residue. Endo-β-N- acetylglucosaminidases are widely found in nature with common chemoenzymatic variants including Endo D, which is specific for paucimannose; Endo A and Endo H, which are specific for high mannose; Endo F subtypes, which range from high mannose to biantennary complex; and Endo M, which can cleave most N-glycan structures (high mannose/complex-type/hybrid- type), except fucosylated glycans, and the hydrolytic activity for the high-mannose type oligosaccharides is significantly higher than that for the complex-and hybrid-type oligosaccharides. In some embodiments, these ENGases show specificity toward the distal N- glycan structure and not the protein displaying it, making them useful for cleaving most N-linked glycans from glycoproteins under native conditions. [614] In some embodiments, endoglycosidases Fl, F2, and F3 are suitable for deglycosylation of native proteins. The linkage specificities of Endo Fl, F2, and F3 suggest a general strategy for deglycosylation of proteins that may remove all classes of N-linked oligosaccharides without denaturing the protein. In some embodiments, biantennary and triantennary structures can be immediately removed by endoglycosidases F2 and F3, respectively. In some embodiments, oligo-mannose and hybrid structures can be removed by Endo Fl. [615] Endo S is a secreted endoglycosidase from Streptococcus pyogenes, and also belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 18, as disclosed by Collin et al. (EMBO J., 2001, 20, 3046), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In contrast to the ENGases mentioned above, Endo S has a more defined specificity and is specific for cleaving only the conserved N- glycan in the Fc domain of human IgGs (no other substrate has been identified to date), suggesting that a protein-protein interaction between the enzyme and IgG provides this specificity. [616] Endo S49, also known as Endo S2, is described in WO 2013/037824, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, is isolated from Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 and is a homologue of Endo S. Endo S49 has a specific endoglycosidase activity on native IgG and cleaves a larger variety of Fc glycans than Endo S. [617] Endo SH is a fusion between the two endoglycosidases, Endo S and Endo H linked by a Gly-rich spacer. Endo SH specifically cleaves the N-linked glycans between two N- acetylglucosame (GluNAc) moieties in the core region of the glycan chain. [618] In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase for deglycosylating the antibody is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, Endo Fl, Endo F2, Endo F3, Endo H, Endo M, Endo A, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase for deglycosylating the antibody is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, Endo Fl, Endo F2, Endo F3, Endo H, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, or Endo S49. [619] In some embodiments, when the glycan to be trimmed is a diantennary structure of the complex type, the endoglycosidase is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, Endo Fl, Endo F2, Endo F3, or a combination thereof. [620] In some embodiments, when the glycoprotein is a B7-H4 antibody and the oligosaccharide to be trimmed is a diantennary structure of the complex type and is present at the IgG conserved N-glycosylation site at N297, the endoglycosidase is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, Endo Fl, Endo F2, Endo F3, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments the endoglycosidase is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, or a combination thereof. [621] In some embodiments, when the glycoprotein is a B7-H4 antibody and the glycan to be trimmed is a diantennary structure of the complex type, and is not present at the IgG conserved N-glycosylation site at N297, the endoglycosidase is Endo Fl, Endo F2, Endo F3, or a combination thereof. [622] In some embodiments, when the glycan to be trimmed is a high mannose, the endoglycosidase is Endo H, Endo M, Endo A, Endo F1, or a combination thereof. [623] In some embodiments, when the glycoprotein is a B7-H4 antibody and the oligosaccharide to be trimmed is a high mannose in addition to having a diantennary structure of the complex type is present at the IgG conserved N-glycosylation site at N297, the endoglycosidase is Endo S, Endo SH, Endo S2, Endo S49, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase is Endo S or Endo SH. In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase is Endo SH. [624] In some embodiments, the endoglycosidase enzyme as defined herein comprises a sequence encoding a tag for ease of purification. In some embodiments, said tag includes, but is not limited to, a FLAG-tag, poly(His)-tag, HA-tag, Myc-tag, SUMO-tag, GST-tag, MBP-tag, or a CBP-tag. In some embodiments, said tag is a 6xHis tag. In some embodiments, said tag is covalently linked to the endoglycoside enzyme at the C-terminus of the enzyme or at an internal residue. In some embodiments, said tag is covalently linked to the endoglycoside enzyme at the N-terminus of the enzyme. [625] In some embodiments, the Endo SH is a fusion between the two endoglycosidases, Endo S and Endo H linked by a Gly-rich spacer comprising an internal 6xHis tag resulting in an overall molecular weight of 139 kDa. Glycosyltransferase [626] The process to form a modified B7-H4 antibody comprises treating the deglycosylated/trimmed antibody having an optionally fucosylated terminal N- acetylglucosamine (Gal-NAc) moiety with a compound of Formula S’’(A’’)-P’’ in the presence of a glycosyltransferase to form the modified B7-H4 antibody having a GlcNAc-S’’(A’’) substituent bonded to the antibody at C1 of the GalNAc moiety via a β-1,4-O-glycosidic bond. [627] In some embodiments, the glycosyltransferases is a β-l,4-galactosyltransferases (4Gal-T), a β-(1,4)-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (β-(l,4)-GalNAcT or GalNAcT) or a mutant thereof. [628] β-(1,4)-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (β-(l,4)-GalNAcTs or GalNAcTs) have been identified in a number of organisms, including humans, Caenorhabditis elegans (Kawar et al, J. Biol. Chem.2002, 277, 34924, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), Drosophila melanogaster (Hoskins et al. Science 2007, 316, 1625, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety) and Trichoplusia ni (Vadaie et al, J. Biol. Chem.2004, 279, 33501, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). [629] β-(l,4)-N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (β-(l,4)-GalNAcTs) are known in the art. In some embodiments, a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of N- acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from uridine diphosphate-GalNAc (UDP-GalNAc, also referred to as GalNAc-UDP) to a terminal GlcNAc moiety of a glycoprotein glycan, wherein C1 of the GalNAc moiety is attached to the antibody via a β-1,4-O-glycosidic bond. In some embodiments, the terminal GlcNAc moiety is fucosylated [630] In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme used in the process of the invention is or is derived from an invertebrate β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme, such as, for example, is or is derived from a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT that originates from invertebrate animal species.

In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme is or is derived from a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme that originates from the phylum of Nematoda, such as, for example, of the class of Chromadorea or Secernentea, or of the phylum of Arthropoda, such as, for example, of the class of Insecta. In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme is or is derived from a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme that originates from Caenorhabditis elegans, Caenorhabditis remanei, Caenorhabditis briggsae, Ascaris suum, Trichoplusia ni, Drosophila melanogaster, Wuchereria bancrofti, Loa loa, Cerapachys biroi, Zootermopsis nevadensis, Camponotus floridanus, Crassostrea gigas or Danaus plexippus, (e.g., from Caenorhabditis elegans, Ascaris suum, Trichoplusia ni or Drosophila melanogaster). In some embodiments, the β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme is, or is derived from, a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme that originates from Caenorhabditis elegans, Ascaris suum or Trichoplusia ni. In other embodiments, the β-(l,4)- GalNAcT enzyme is, or is derived from, a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme that originates from Trichoplusia ni. [631] The term "derived from" comprises e.g. truncated enzymes, mutant enzymes, enzymes comprising a tag for ease of purification or a combination of these modifications. Derived from thus refers to as having an amino acid sequence that is altered from a naturally occurring β-(l,4)- GalNAcT enzyme by substituting, inserting, deleting, or adding one or more, (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 or more) amino acids, respectively. A β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme that is derived from a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme is herein also referred to as a derived β-(1,4)- GalNAcT enzyme or a modified β -(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme or a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT mutant enzyme.

It should be noted that the numbering of amino acid position is herein based on the numbering of amino acid position in the wild-type β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme. When a β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme is, for example, a truncated enzyme, the number used herein to indicate the position of an amino acid substitution corresponds to the numbering of amino acid position in the corresponding wild-type β-(l,4)-GalNAcT enzyme.

[727] In some embodiments, the modified B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure may be of high stability. [728] In some embodiments, the modified B7-H4 antibody and modified B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure may be synthesized by practical synthetic routes, as the process for introducing the functional group A” (e.g., azido, keto, or alkynyl) into the antibody is straightforward and generally applicable. [729] In some embodiments, a site-specific B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure is obtained by a process comprising reacting a modified B7-H4 antibody with a Linker-Drug moiety, wherein: the Linker-Drug moiety comprises cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl, the modified B7-H4 antibody, prior to conjugation, comprises a B7-H4 antibody and a modified GlcNAc moiety of attached to a B7-H4 antibody via the C1 position of the GlcNAc; GlcNAc is N-acetylglucosamine; S” is a sugar or a derivatized sugar; and A” is azido. [730] In some embodiments, A” is cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl. In some embodiments, A” is cycloalkynyl. In some embodiments, A” is heterocycloalkynyl. [731] In some embodiments, A” is strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl. In some embodiments, A” is strained cycloalkynyl. In some embodiments, A” is strained heterocycloalkynyl. [732] In some embodiments, a site-specific B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure is obtained by a process comprising the steps of: (a) contacting an intermediate antibody of Formula (XXII): (XXII); wherein: Ab is an B7-H4 antibody; GlcNAc is N-acetylglucosamine; Fuc is fucose; u 3 is 0 or 1; and d 13 is an integer ranging from 1 to 12; with a compound , wherein: S” is a sugar or a derivatized sugar; A” is azido; and P is uridine diphosphate (UDP), guanosine diphosphate (GDP), or cytidine diphosphate (CDP); in the presence of an galactosyltransferase, thereby forming a modified B7-H4 antibody comprising the modified-GlcNAc moiety, , (optionally, the modified- GlcNAc moiety is attached to the rest of the modified antibody the C1 position of the GlcNAc); and (b) reacting the modified B7-H4 antibody with a Linker-Drug moiety comprising a strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl, thereby forming the antibody-drug conjugate. [733] In some embodiments, the process for preparing a site-specific B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate is as depicted in FIG.5. [734] In some embodiments, the modified B7-H4 antibody comprising an azido at each amino acid N297 of the antibody is conjugated with a Linker-drug moiety comprising strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl by metal-free click chemistry to form the site-specific antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure. [735] In some embodiments, when the modified B7-H4 antibody comprises at least one azido moiety and the Linker-drug moiety comprises a strained cycloalkynyl, the presence of a copper catalyst is not necessary for the cycloaddition reaction between the azido in the modified antibody and the strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl of the Linker-Drug moiety. In some embodiments, the cycloaddition reaction proceeds in the absence of a copper catalyst, which may alleviate several possible disadvantages of using a copper catalyst in the process. [736] In some embodiments, a Cu(I) catalyst is generally required in the cycloaddition of an azido moiety of an antibody and a terminal alkyne moiety. In some embodiments, extensive optimization and fine-tuning of conditions may be required to find the optimal parameters for efficient conversion. Nevertheless, even under such conditions, the concomitant formation of reactive oxygen species cannot always be fully avoided, which in turn may induce oxidative damage to the antibody/protein (e.g., oxidation of methionine, histidine, cysteine or disulfide bonds). Other protocols have employed Cu(I) sources such as CuBr for labeling fixed cells and synthesizing glycoproteins. In these cases, the instability of Cu(I) in air imposes a requirement for large excesses of Cu (e.g., greater than 4 mm) and ligand for efficient reactions, which could also raise the risk of antibody/protein damage or precipitation, plus the presence of residual metal after purification. Thus, the conjugation of an azido-containing antibody to a terminal alkyne in the presence of a copper catalyst can lead to extensive side-product formation by undesired amino acid oxidation. [737] In some embodiments, the modified B7-H4 antibody comprising an azido (e.g., at each amino acid N297 of the antibody) is conjugated with a Linker-Drug moiety comprising strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl (e.g., by metal-free click chemistry). [738] In some embodiments, upon conjugation, the azido moiety of the modified B7-H4 antibody and the strained cycloalkynyl or heterocycloalkynyl of the Linker-Drug moiety forms a triazole moiety of Formula (XXXV): (XXXV), wherein * denotes a direct or indirect attachment to the rest of the modified antibody; and ** indicates attachment to M p when present, or to L M or M A . [739] In some embodiments, the B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugate of the present disclosure comprises one or more occurrences of D, wherein each D independently is a therapeutic agent (e.g., a cytotoxic drug moiety), wherein the one or more occurrences of D may be the same or different. [740] In some embodiments, one or more specific sites of the B7-H4 antibody is attached to the Linker-Drug moiety, wherein the Linker-Drug moieties attached to the one or more specific sites may be the same or different.

[800] Inhibition of cell proliferation in vitro may be assayed using the CellTiter-Glo™ Luminescent Cell Viability Assay, which is commercially available from Promega (Madison, Wis.). That assay determines the number of viable cells in culture based on quantitation of ATP present, which is an indication of metabolically active cells. See Crouch et al. (1993) J. Immunol. Meth. 160:81-88, U.S. Pat. No.6,602,677. The assay may be conducted in 96- or 384-well format, making it amenable to automated high-throughput screening (HTS). See Cree et al. (1995) AntiCancer Drugs 6:398-404. The assay procedure involves adding a single reagent (CellTiter-Glo® Reagent) directly to cultured cells. This results in cell lysis and generation of a luminescent signal produced by a luciferase reaction. The luminescent signal is proportional to the amount of ATP present, which is directly proportional to the number of viable cells present in culture. Data can be recorded by luminometer or CCD camera imaging device. The luminescence output is expressed as relative light units (RLU).

[816] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating a cancer subject that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. [817] A cancer subject that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder, may have previously responded to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, but may have become less responsive to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, or the cancer may have never responded to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Inadequate response to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor means that aspects of the cancer that would be expected to improve following a standard dose of the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor do not improve, and/or improvement only occurs if greater than a standard dose is administered. In some embodiments, a subject with a cancer that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder has experienced, or is experiencing, an inadequate response to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor after receiving a standard dose for at least two weeks, at least three weeks, at least four weeks, at least six weeks, or at least twelve weeks. A “standard” dose is determined by a medical professional, and may depend on the subject's age, weight, healthy history, severity of disease, the frequency of dosing, etc. In some embodiments, a subject with a cancer that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder has experienced, or is experiencing, an inadequate response to an anti-PD- 1 antibody and/or an anti-PD-L1 antibody. In some embodiments, a subject with cancer that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder has experienced, or is experiencing, an inadequate response to AMP-224. In some embodiments, a subject with cancer that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder has experienced, or is experiencing, an inadequate response to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor selected from nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab. [818] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating a cancer that expresses a low level of PD-L1 comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. In some embodiments, a cancer that expresses a “low level of PD-L1,” or expresses “PD-L1 at a low level,” denotes that the level of PD-L1 is under the level of expression for a cancer that is indicated for treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonist in which subjects are selected for treatment based on PD-L1 expression levels. In some embodiments, a “low level of PD-L1” is one in which less than 1% of the cells in the tumor have membrane staining. In some embodiments, a “low level” in regard to PD-L1 is less than 1% staining, for example, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1% or 0% of the cells of the tumor are stained. In some embodiments, PD-L1 expression levels can be measured by chromogenic IHC or immunofluorescence IHC (Aqua scoring). In certain embodiments, PD-L1 staining of 5% or less (including tumor and/or immune cells) can indicate that a sample expresses a “low level of PD-L1.” In certain embodiments, PD-L1 staining of 10% or less (including tumor and/or immune cells) can indicate that a sample expresses a “low level of PD-L1.” Unless indicated otherwise herein, a 5% threshold is used herein (i.e., 5% or less indicates a “low level of PD-L1”). [819] In some embodiments, a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to a subject diagnosed with cancer to increase the proliferation of T cells, CD4+ T cells, or CD8+ T cells in the patient. In another embodiment, a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to a subject diagnosed with cancer to increase interferon-gamma (IFNγ) production in the subject. In another embodiment, a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to a subject diagnosed with cancer to block the inhibitory activity of B7-H4 against T cells in the subject. In another embodiment, a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to a subject diagnosed with cancer to deplete B7-H4 expressing cancer cells in the subject. [820] In some embodiments, a conjugate disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to a subject as provided above, and further in combination with an additional therapeutic agent, e.g., a PD-1 antagonist; a PD-L1 antagonist; a topoisomerase inhibitor or an ADC thereof, such as, for example sacituzumab govitecan; a chemotherapeutic agent, such as, for example, docetaxel, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and cisplatin; an antineoplastic agent such as, for example, atezolizumab; an angiogenesis inhibitors, such as, for example, bevacizumab (Avastin); an AKT inhibitor, such as, for example, ipatasertib; a PARP inhibitor, such as, for example, olaparib (Lynparza), rucaparib (Rubraca), talazoparib, and niraparib (Zejula); a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, such as, for example, palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib; a selective estrogen receptor antagonist, such as, for example, fulvestrant (Faslodex); a mTOR inhibitor, such, as, for example, everolimus (Afinitor); a PI3K inhibitor such as, for example, alpelisib; or a combination thereof. [821] In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is a PD-1 antagonist, such as an antagonistic PD-1 antibody. Suitable PD-1 antibodies include, for example, nivolumab (OPDIVO), pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA), MEDI-0680 (AMP-514; WO2012/145493). camrelizumab (SHR-1210), tislelizumab (BGB-A317), or spartalizumab (NPVPDR001, NVS240118, PDR001). The additional therapeutic agent may also include pidilizumab (CT- 011). A recombinant protein composed of the extracellular domain of PD-L2 (B7-DC) fused to the Fc portion of IgG1, called AMP-224, can also be used to antagonize the PD-1 receptor. [822] In some embodiment, the PD-L1 antagonist, is an antagonistic PD-L1 antibody. Suitable PD-L1 antibodies include, for example, atezolizumab (TECENTRIQ), durvalumab (MEDI4736), BMS-936559 (WO2007/005874), avelumab (WO2013/79174) or rHigM12B7. [823] In some embodiments, e.g., when the cancer is a Her2 cancer, an additional therapeutic agent is trastuzumab, Trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla®) pertuzumab (Perjeta®), tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as, for example, lapatinib and tucatinib. [824] 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 or antibody-drug conjugate of the invention can occur prior to, simultaneously, and/or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent and/or adjuvant. B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugates of the invention can also be used in combination with radiation therapy. [825] It is within the level of one of skill in the art to determine the precise amounts of active agents, including B7-H4 antibody-drug conjugates to be administered to a subject. For example, such agents and uses for treating cancers and solid tumors, are well-known in the art. Thus, dosages of such agents can be chosen based on standard dosing regimens for that agent under a given route of administration. [826] It is understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment is a function of the tissue or tumor being treated and may be determined empirically using known testing protocols or by extrapolation from in vivo or in vitro test data and/or can be determined from known dosing regimens of the particular agent. It is to be noted that concentrations and dosage values may also vary with the age of the individual treated, the weight of the individual, the route of administration and/or the extent or severity of the disease and other factors that are within the level of a skilled medical practitioner to consider. Generally, dosage regimens are chosen to limit toxicity. It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt or adjust therapy to lower dosage due to toxicity, or bone marrow, liver or kidney or other tissue dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know how to and when to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response is not adequate (precluding toxic side effects). It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the formulations, and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope thereof. [827] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. In the specification, the singular forms also include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below.

[833] B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody (anti-B7-H4 antibody) and 2A7 are disclosed in US 2011/0085970 Al. 1D11 antibody is disclosed in US20160159910A1. Endo SH was prepared as described in PCT application WO 2017137459, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. UDP-azido sugar and GalNAcT were prepared as described in US 9,988,662, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. [834] The diABZI STING agonist was prepared as described in Ramanjulu et al (Nature, 564(7736):439-443 (2018)). [835] Tumor growth inhibition (%TGI) was defined as the percent difference in median tumor volumes (MTVs) between treated and control groups. Tumor size was measured throughout each efficacy study to determine tumor growth inhibition (TGI). [836] When applicable, the drug content of the conjugates was determined spectrophotometrically, otherwise RP-HPLC or LC/MS as performed for quantitative determination of the drug content. [837] The protein content of the antibody-drug conjugates was determined spectrophotometrically or by ELISA. [838] Antibody-drug conjugates, drug carrying scaffolds, or antibody scaffolds were purified (i.e., removal of residual unreacted drug, unconjugated antibody, enzymes or starting materials) by extensive diafiltration, CHT chromatography or HIC, as required. If necessary, additional purification by SEC or HIC were conducted to remove aggregated antibody-drug conjugates. In general, the antibody-drug conjugates, as purified, contained <5% (w/w) (e.g., <2% (w/w)) aggregated antibody-drug conjugates as determined by SEC; <0.5% (w/w) (e.g., <0.1% (w/w)) free (unconjugated) drug as determined by RP-HPLC and/or LC-MS/MS; <1% (w/w) of free drug conjugate as determined by SEC and/or RP-HPLC; and <10% (w/w) (e.g., <1% (w/w)) unconjugated antibody or antibody fragments as determined by HIC-HPLC and/or RP-HPLC. Reduced or partially reduced antibodies were prepared using procedures described in the literature, see, for example, Francisco et al., Blood 102 (4): 1458-1465 (2003). The total drug (conjugated and unconjugated) concentration was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry or RP-HPLC. [839] To determine the concentration of the free AF-HPA drug in a biological sample, an acidified sample was treated with ACN. The free drug was extracted and the ACN supernatant was analyzed. To determine the concentration of conjugated AF-HPA in a non-clinical sample, the sample was subjected to immunocapture using anti-IgG1 antibody-coated magnetic beads followed by exhaustive basic hydrolysis. The ACN supernatant containing the released AF-HPA drug was analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The total antibody concentration in non-clinical samples was measured by LC-MS/MS after immunocapture using an anti-IgG1 antibody via detection of a peptide sequence unique for the antibody after tryptic digestion. For clinical samples, the same procedure could be followed except that an anti-idiotype antibody would be used for immunocapture to avoid the interference of endogenous antibodies. [840] Analysis of free AF and AF-HPA was conducted by RP-HPLC using a C4 column, an ACN gradient, and UV detection. Peak areas are integrated and compared to AF and AF-HPA standards. The method is quantitative for AF and AF-HPA in plasma and tissue homogenates and linear over the concentration ranges of 0.1 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL. The total drug (AF-HPA) released after hydrolysis with NaOH (aq) was measured under the same condition with the dynamic range from 1 ng/mL to 5,000 ng/mL. The total antibody standards range from 0.1 μg/mL to 100 μg/mL. [841] The hydrophobicity of the antibody-drug conjugate was determined by HIC-HPLC on a Shimadzu Prominence HPLC system equipped with a DAD. A TSK gel butyl-NPR column (2.5 μm particle size) was held at 35 o C for these analyses. Mobile phase A was 1.5 M ammonium sulfate, 25 mM sodium phosphate, and pH 7.0, and mobile phase B was 25 mM sodium phosphate, 10% isopropyl alcohol, and pH 7.0. Separations were performed with a 0-100% linear gradient of mobile phase B over 25 minutes. The flow rate was 1 mL/min. Sample injections ranged from ~10 μg to 100 μg. [842] The drug to antibody ratio (DAR) for conjugates comprising the cytotoxic agent drug moiety was determined by subjecting the antibody-drug conjugates to exhaustive base hydrolysis. The released AF-HPA was then quantified from a standard curve with RP-HPLC. The measured AF-HPA concentrations were correlated to the antibody content to determine DAR. [843] The drug to antibody ratio (DAR) ) for conjugates comprising the STING agonist drug moiety was determined by measuring the absorption of the conjugates. The DAR value was calculated using the appropriate molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and the STING agonist payload. [844] Tumors were measured twice weekly using digital calipers and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: tumor volume (mm 3 ) = (width 2 x length)/2. Body weights were recorded daily for the first week and twice weekly thereafter. Animals remained on study until individual tumor volume reached ≥ 1000mm 3 , ≥ 1500mm 3 or as indicated. Percent change in body weight was calculated using the formula: body weight change (%) = ((weight study day X – weight study day 1 )/weight study day 1 ) *100. Tumor volumes are reported as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Tumor growth inhibition (%TGI) was defined as the percent difference in mean tumor volumes (MTVs) between treated and control groups. Tumor size was measured throughout each efficacy study to determine tumor growth inhibition (TGI). Percent tumor regression was calculated using the formula: % regression = (1-(mean tumor volume final )/ (mean tumor volume day 1 )) *100. [845] For xenograft studies the regression responses for individual animals are classified into categories. A partial response (PR) is defined as a tumor volume of 50% or less for day 1 volume for three consecutive measurements and equal to or greater than 13.5 mm 3 for at least one of these three measurements. A complete response (CR) is defined as a tumor volume less than 13.5 mm 3 for three consecutive measurements. A tumor-free survivor (TFS) is classified as having a CR at the end of study. Animals were scored only once during the study for a PR or CR event and only as CR if both PR and CR criteria were satisfied. An animal with a CR response at the termination of a study was additionally classified as a tumor-free survivor (TFS). [846] For PDX studies the regression responses for individual animals are classified into categories: TS (Tumor Stabilization) = number of mice presenting a constant tumor size during several consecutive measurements. PR (Partial Regression) = number of mice presenting a tumor size lower than initial tumor size during several consecutive measurements. CR (Complete Regression) = number of mice presenting a 0 to 13 mm 3 tumor size during several consecutive measurements. TFS (Tumor Free Survivor) = number of compete regressions recorded up to Group day end.

[869] Compound 21 (250 mg, 0.124 mmol, prepared using procedures described in US 15/819,650, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference), water (5.9 mL), NMP (1.5 mL), EDC (166 mg, 0.868 mmol), and HOAt (0.041 mg, 0.298 mmol) were stirred in an ice-bath, and the pH was adjusted to ~6.5 with 1N NaHCO 3 (aq). Compound 2 (631 mg, 0.558 mmol) was added, followed by pH adjustment to ~6.5. The resulting mixture was stirred cold for 3 h. Additional EDC, HOAt, and compound 2 (198 mg, 0.164 mmol) were added and the stirring continued overnight. The reaction mixture was purified on a C18 cartridge (100 g) with a step gradient of ACN/H 2 O from 10% to 60% to 100% v/v ACN/H 2 O. The desired fractions were lyophilized to give compound 22 as a white amorphous solid (275 mg, 53% yield). MS: 2083.64 (2 + ), 1389.43 (3 + ), 1042.35 (4 + ). Step 2. Compound 23 [870] To a mixture of compound 22 (375 mg, 0.09 mmol), EtOH (1.5 mL), and water (1.5 mL) in a glass Parr bottle. Argon was bubbled through the mixture, followed by the addition of Pd/C (9.5 mg, 0.009 mmol). The bottle was attached to the hydrogenation equipment then successively vacuum pumped, filled with argon, then filled with hydrogen (0.762 mg, 0.378 mmol) to 30 psi, and the mixture was stirred vigorously overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of silica gel and concentrated to an oil. The oil was dissolved in ACN/H 2 O and lyophilized to obtain compound 23 as a white amorphous solid (220 mg, 63% yield). MS: 1926.60 (2 + ), 1284.74(3 + ), 963.80 (4 + ).

Step 3. Scaffold 24 [871] To an ice-cold solution of compound 23 (150 mg, 0.039 mmol) in ACN (1.04 mL) and DMF (0.500 mL) was added 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl 1-((1R,8S,9s)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9- yl)-3-oxo-2,7,10-trioxa-4-azatridecan-13-oate (35 mg, 0.078 mmol) and DIPEA (0.027 mL, 0.156 mmol), final pH ~8-9. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then concentrated and purified on a preparative HPLC using ACN/H 2 O (0.1% TFA) as the mobile phase. The desired fractions were lyophilized to give Scaffold 24 as a white amorphous solid (93.1 mg, 57% yield). MS: 2094.23 (2 + ), 1396.43 (3 + ), 1047.62 (4 + ) 838.30 (5 + ). Example 22 : Identification of Post-translational Modification Risks to B7-H4_2F9 and Generation of B7-H4 Variants. [872] Analysis of the VH and VL regions of B7-H4_2F9 and B7-H4_2A7 (disclosed in US20110085970A1) identified potential post-translational modification (PTM) liabilities, considered to be undesirable due to potential risks to antibody developability. As shown below, the result of this analysis identified potential risks in the VH chain of B4-H4_2F9. These included, in order of descending theoretical risk, a non-canonical cysteine residue, a potential Asp isomerization site, and a potential Met oxidation site for B7-H4_2F9 shown below. [873] Variants of the antibody B4-H4_2F9 were generated in order to eliminate potential PTM hazards, while retaining desired antibody properties, as summarized in Table 1. Each variant antibody generated contained one of four changes to eliminate the non-canonical cysteine risk (DC to YY, DY, DA, or DS). Variants contained these mutations alone (B7-H4_2F9V1, B7- H4_2F9V6, B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V16), or in combination with other mutations, including four variants which also had mutations that removed the potential Asp isomerization site (DG to DA), in addition to addressing the non-canonical cysteine risk: B7-H4_2F9V2, B7- H4_2F9V7, B7-H4_2F9V12, B7-H4_2F9V17. Four variants had these mutations, plus an additional mutation to address the potential methionine oxidation hazard (MDV to LDV; B7- H4_2F9V3, B7-H4_2F9V8, B7-H4_2F9V13, B7-H4_2F9V18), hence addressing all three potential PTM liabilities. Four variants were designed to eliminate the Asp isomerization sequence by adding in the 2A7 HCDR3 region instead of the B4-H4_2F9 HCDR3 region (B7- H4_2F9V4, B7-H4_2F9V9, B7-H4_2F9V14, B7-H4_2F9V19), in addition to containing the mutations to address the non-canonical cysteine risk. The remaining four variants contained mutations to address the non-canonical cysteine risk, the Asp isomerization risk by including the 2A7 HCDR3 region, and the MDV to LDV mutation to address the methionine oxidation risk (B7-H4_2F9V5, B7-H4_2F9V10, B7-H4_2F9V15, B7-H4_2F9V20). Table 1 summarizes B4- H4_2F9 antibody sequence variations and PTM liabilities addressed. Table 1

Example 23: Binding of B7-H4_F9 Parental Antibody and 20 B7-H4_2F9 Antibody Variants thereof to Human B7-H4 Protein by ELISA [874] Recombinant human B7-H4 protein (R&D Systems #6576-B7-050) was coated onto the surface of each well of a 96-well plate by incubation with the peptide (1μg/mL in PBS), overnight at 4 °C. The wells were then blocked by incubation with BSA (5% in PBS, containing 0.1% Tween 20 (PBST)) for 1 hour at room temperature. A range of dilutions (0.0061 nM to 100 nM; 4-fold serial dilutions in 3% BSA in PBS) of the test articles (B7-H4_2F9 and 20 B7- H4_2F9 antibody variants) were then added to each well and the plate was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with gentle rocking. The unbound test article was removed by washing with PBST (3x). A secondary anti-human IgG conjugated to HRP (0.16 μg/mL in PBST) was incubated in each well for 1 hour. The unbound secondary antibody was removed by washing with PBST (3x). The HRP substrate, TMB, was added to each well and incubated until a blue color was visible. The reaction was quenched by the addition of sulfuric acid (0.2 N, 100 μL). The absorbance at 450 nm was measured in a plate reader (Molecular Devices, Spectramax M5). The values were plotted using GraphPad Prism software. EC50 values were determined by four- parameter curve fitting. Table 2 summarizes the binding values (EC 50 ). Table 2 [875] As shown in Table 2, the B7-H4_2F9 parental antibody binds to human B7-H4 protein with an EC 50 value of 1.46 nM, and that the B4-H4_2F9 variants bind to human B7-H4 protein with EC 50 values between 0.94 nM and >100 nM. Most variants bind with similar EC 50 values (within threefold) of B4-H4_2F9, except for B7-H4_2F9V1, B7-H4_2F9V4, B7-H4_2F9V6, B7- H4_2F9V11, and B7-H4_2F9V14, which bind to B7-H4 with EC 50 values between 4.40 and 11.67 nM, and B7-H4_2F9V12, which had no measurable binding in this assay. Example 24: Cellular Binding of 20 B7-H4_2F9 Antibody Variants by FACS [876] The cell surface binding of B7-H4_2F9 variant antibodies and a tool B7-H4 antibody 1D11, to cultured MX-1 and HCC1569 cells was evaluated using a MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). MX-1 cells were grown in DMEM:F12K (Life Technologies) with 10% FBS (Life Technologies) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies). HCC1569 cells were grown in RPMI (ATCC) with 10% FBS (Life Technologies) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies). For staining, cells were detached by treatment with Accutase cell detachment solution (Innovative Cell Technologies). The detached cells were triturated in media, and plated in 96 well U-bottom plates, at a density of 50,000 cells in medium (75 μL). Cells were incubated on ice for 3 hours with a range of concentrations (100 nM to 0.0128 nM; 3-fold serial dilutions) of the test articles in a total volume of 100 μl medium with 6% goat serum. The cells were washed with ice cold PBS (3x), pelleted at 1,000 × RCF between each wash step, and resuspended in RPMI-1640 with 2% goat serum (100 μL) and a secondary fluorescently labeled antibody, Alexa Fluor ® 647-labelled goat anti-human IgG (5 μg/mL, Life Technologies) for 1 hour on ice. The cells were washed with ice cold PBS (3x) and resuspended in ice cold PBS with 1% paraformaldehyde (100 μL). The fluorescence per cell was determined by analyzing 5,000 cells for each treatment on the flow cytometer. The median fluorescence value for each treatment was plotted, and EC 50 values were calculated with Graphpad Prism software by four-parameter curve fitting. [877] Table 3 summarizes the EC 50 values of the 20 B7-H4_2F9 antibody variants antibodies for binding to the indicated cell lines. Table 3 [878] As sh own in Table 3 the EC 50 values for binding to the surface of MX-1 cells were within the range of 0.9 to 4.43 nM, versus 1.58 nM for B4-H4_2F9. The EC 50 values for binding of most of the B7-H4_2F9 variants to MX-1 cells were very similar (within twofold) of B4- H4_2F9, except for B7-H4_2F9V2, which was 4.43 nM. The EC 50 value for binding of 1D11 antibody to MX-1 cells was 4.9 nM. The EC 50 values for binding of the B4-H4_2F9 variants to the surface of HCC1569 cells were within the range of 0.52 to 2.28 nM, versus 1.26 nM for B4- H4_2F9. The EC 50 values for binding of most variants to HCC1569 cells were very similar to B4-H4_2F9, except for B7-H4_2F9V15, which was 0.52 nM. The EC 50 value for binding of 1D11 antibody to the surface of HCC1569 cells was 3.44 nM. Example 25: Assessment of Polyreactivity of 20 B7-H4_2F9 Antibody Variants by ELISA [879] Polyreactivity of the 20 B7-H4_2F9 antibody variants and controls was assessed by Baculovirus particle (BVP) ELISA. Plates were coated with 1% BVP extract in carbonate buffer, pH 9.6, 4 ºC overnight. Test antibodies at 150, 50, 16.7, and 5.6 μg/mL were tested in triplicate. Assay was performed following the standard ELISA protocol using positive control antibody (Human IgG1 Poly-Specificity Control Antibody; MEDNA Cat # H1308) and negative control antibody (Human IgG1 isotype control MEDNA Cat # 1301; Mouse IgG isotype control (Invitrogen Cat # 31903). BVP score was calculated based on the ELISA signal over background signal (secondary antibody only) of test antibody at the concentration of 150 μg/ml in triplicate. Table 4 summarizes the average BVP score of the antibodies. Table 4

[880] As shown in Table 4, the BVP score of B7-H4_2F9 (10.7) is similar to that of 1D11 antibody. The results showed a wide range of BVP scores resulting from small sequence changes made in the variants relative to the B4-H4_2F9 antibody. Variants B7-H4_2F9V6, XMT-1603(+K) B7-H4_2F9V7, B7-H4_2F9V8, B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V16, B7- H4_2F9V17, and XMT-1604(+K) B7-H4_2F9V18 all had BVP scores that were lower than that of B7-H4_2F9 and 1D11 antibodies, indicating a desired reduction in the polyreactivity. The remaining variants had BVP scores that were greater than that of B7-H4_2F9 antibody, 1D11 antibody, and the positive control, include B7-H4_2F9V3, B7-H4_2F9V5, B7-H4_2F9V9, B7- H4_2F9V10, B7-H4_2F9V15, B7-H4_2F9V19, and B7-H4_2F9V20 antibodies. The 5 variants (XMT-1603(+K) B7-H4_2F9V7, B7-H4_2F9V8, B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V17, and XMT- 1604(+K) B7-H4_2F9V18) with the lowest BVP scores show a desired reduction in polyreactivity. The sequence changes and the resulting BVP scores could not have been predicted. Example 26: Binding Affinity of B7-H4_2F9 Antibody Variants to Human B7-H4 Protein by Octet [881] The binding kinetics of B4-H4_2F9, the tool antibody 1D11 and 5 B7-H4 variant antibodies (XMT-1603(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V7), B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V16, B7- H4_2F9V17, and XMT-1604(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18) were determined by Biolayer Interferometry (BLI; Octet; ForteBio), and affinity values were determined using standard Octet procedures (ForteBio). Antibodies were immobilized to anti-human Fc biosensors in 1x Kinetics buffer. Increasing concentrations of recombinant human B7-H4 protein (R&D Systems #6576-B7-050) were then associated with immobilized peptide in 1x kinetics buffer. Table 5 summarizes the K d (equilibrium dissociation constant), k on (rate of association), and k off (rate of dissociation) at 25 °C for the tested antibodies. Table 5 [882] As shown in Table 5, B7-H4_2F9 antibody and the tested B7-H4_2F9 antibody variants: XMT-1603(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V7), B7-H4_2F9V11, B7-H4_2F9V16, B7-H4_2F9V17, and XMT-1604(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18) have comparable affinity values for binding to human B7-H4. K d values for the B4-H4_2F9 variants are within the range of 1.10E-08 to 2.23E-08 M, in comparison to 1.39E-08M for B4-H4_2F9. The k on values for the B4-H4_2F9 variants are within the range of 7.39E+04 to 1.84E+05 (M -1 s -1 ), in comparison to 1.59E+05 (M -1 s -1 ) for B4- H4_2F9. The k off values for the B4-H4_2F9 variants are within the range of 1.61E-03 to 2.67E- 03 s -1 , in comparison to 2.21E-03 s -1 for B4-H4_2F9. The tool antibody 1D11 has a K d value that is more than 100-fold lower than that of B4-H4_2F9. The k on value of 1D11 antibody is very similar (within twofold) of the values of B4-H4_2F9 and variant antibodies, but more than 100-fold lower than that of B7-H4_2F9 and the variants. Example 27: Assessment of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) Antibody for T-cell Suppression [883] Wildtype HEK-293 cells (HEK-293-WT) or HEK293 cells engineered to express B7-H4 (HEK-293-B7-H4) were plated and cultured in Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 5% penicillin/streptomycin at a density of 50,000 cells in 96- well plate and allowed to adhere overnight at 37 o C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 . Next day, the media was removed and replaced with T cell media (Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium with 10% FBS and 5% penicillin/streptomycin). Cells were incubated with 1D11 tool antibody, XMT-1604(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18) antibody or a nonbinding control antibody, Palivizumab, at 50 nM final concentrations for 2 hours at 37 o C, prior to the addition of CD3+ T cells prepared as follows. Frozen human PBMCs (2.5x10 7 cells) were thawed and enriched for CD3+ T cells using Easy step™ human T cell isolation kit (StemCell Technologies). CD3+ T cells were labeled with CellTrace™ Violet cell proliferation kit (CTV; ThermoFisher Scientific) and adjusted to 2x10 6 cells/mL. CTV-labeled T cells (1x10 5 ) were added to test article-treated HEK-293-WT or HEK-293-B7-H4 cells, stimulated with Immunocult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator (StemCell Technologies), and incubated at 37 o C in 5% CO 2 . After 4 day of coculture of HEK-293-WT or HEK-293-B7-H4 with CTV-labeled T cells, T cell proliferation was assessed by the dilution of CTV-labeled T cells using flow cytometry. Cocultured cells (CTV-labeled T cells and HEK-293-WT/ HEK-293-B7-H4 cells) from each group were transferred to a U-bottom 96-well plate, washed with PBS, stained with live/dead Fixable Aqua dead cell staining dye (ThermoFisher Scientific), and then additionally stained with fluorophore conjugated target specific or isotype control antibodies (FITC anti-human CD45, PE/Cy7 anti- human CD4, PE anti-human CD8). Cells were fixed and surface expression of the proteins of interest was determined by flow cytometry analysis on a MACSQuant flow cytometer. Data analysis was performed by FlowJo software using the following hierarchical flow: 1) single gate, 2) live cells, 3) CD45+ cells, and 4) diluted CTV (compared to unstimulated T cells). Percentage of proliferating CD4+ or CD8+ T cell were calculated using CD4+ combined with diluted CTV and CD8+ combined with diluted CTV, respectively. Data represent the mean (± standard deviation) of triplicate wells for each test article. Table 6 gives the population (%) of live cells, CD45+, proliferating CD4+ T cells, and proliferating CD8+ T cells for each condition. Table 6

a Gated on single; b Gated on live cells; c Gated on single/live cells/CD45+ [884] As shown in Table 6, the proportions of proliferating CD4+ cells and proliferating CD8+ T cells decreased significantly when the T cells were cultured with HEK-293-B7-H4 cells as compared to HEK-293-WT cells in the control group (palivizumab) (student’s t-test; P≤0.001 and P≤0.05, respectively). Treatment with 1D11 B7-H4_or 1604(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18) antibody did not significantly restore proliferation to either CD4+ T cells or CD8+T cells. Thus, the XMT-1604(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18) did not inhibit the anti-proliferative effect of HEK-293- B7-H4 cells on cocultured CD4+ or CD8+ T cells. Example 28: Binding of Variant B7-H4 Cytotoxic Drug Antibody-Drug Conjugates to B7- H4 Protein by ELISA [885] Binding of ADC DAR 6 conjugates generated from B4-H4_2F9 Variants XMT- 1603(+K); Conjugate 3), B7-H4_2F9V11 Conjugate 6 , B7-H4_2F9V17 Conjugate 7 , XMT- 1604(+K); Conjugate 1-1, and Conjugate 8-1, the corresponding unconjugated antibodies, nonbinding control ADC Conjugate 9-1 and nonbinding control mAb (Palivizumab), to B7-H4 protein by ELISA was conducted as described in Example 23 except that the wells were blocked by incubation with blocking buffer (4% BSA in PBS) and a range of dilutions (0.0013 nM to 100nM; 5-fold serial dilutions in 1% BSA in PBS) of the B7-H4 test articles and nonbinding controls were used. Table 7 summarizes the binding values (EC 50 ). Table 7 [886] As is shown in Table 7, EC 50 values of antibody-drug conjugates made with B4-H4_2F9 variant antibodies XMT-1603(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V7), B7-H4_2F9V11, and XMT-1604(+K) (B7- H4_2F9V18), and 1D11 had similar binding values (within 2.5-fold) of the corresponding unconjugated antibody. Binding of Conjugate 7 was shown to be greater than 4x less potent than its unconjugated antibody B7-H4_2F9V17. Lack of binding observed with control antibodies and their corresponding ADCs indicates the binding specificity of the B7-H4-targeting antibodies and ADCs. Example 29: Binding of XMT-1603 (B7-H4_2F9V7) and XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates to Human B7-H4 Protein by ELISA [887] Binding to human B7-H4 protein by XMT-1603(+K) (B7-H4_2F9V7), XMT-1604 (+K) (B7-H4_2F9V18), and their corresponding cytotoxic drug conjugates were tested by ELISA as described in Example 23 except a range of dilutions (0.0013 nM to 100nM; 5-fold serial dilutions in 1% BSA in PBS) of the test articles were used. Test articles were Conjugate 5, Conjugate 4, Conjugate 13, Conjugate 2-1, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 12. Controls used in this study included nonbinding antibody and nonbinding control ADCs Conjugate 10, Conjugate 9-2, and Conjugate 14 (Dolaflexin DAR10.9). Table 8 summarizes binding values (EC 50 ). Table 8 [888] As is shown in Table 8, EC50 values of conjugates made with B4-H4_2F9 variant antibodies XMT-1603 B7-H4_2F9V7 and XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 were similar (within twofold) of their unconjugated antibodies. Lack of binding observed with control antibodies indicates the binding specificity of the B7-H4-targeting antibodies and ADCs. Example 30: Binding of XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 and Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates to B7-H4 Proteins from human, monkey, rat, and mouse by ELISA [889] Binding to B7-H4 protein from human, monkey, rat, and mouse B7-H4 by XMT-1604 (B7H4_2F9V18), and the corresponding cytotoxic drug conjugates were tested by ELISA as described in Example 23. Proteins used in these studies were: human B7-H4 (R&D Systems; 6576-B7-050), monkey B7-H4 (Creative Biomart; VTCN1-1519R), rat (R&D Systems 10085- B7), and mouse (Creative Biomart; VTCN1-1519R). Test articles were Conjugate 2-1, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 12. Controls used in this study included nonbinding hu-IgG1 antibody and nonbinding control ADCs Conjugate 10, Conjugate 9-2, and Conjugate 14. Table 9 summarizes the binding values (EC 50 ). For human, monkey, rat, and mouse B7-H4. The results are a mean of two studies. Table 9 [890] As shown in Table 9, binding values for XMT-1604 (B7H4_2F9V18), and the corresponding cytotoxic drug conjugates Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 2-1 were similar to each other across the four species tested. The range of EC50 values is between 0.20 and 0.30 nM for binding to human B7-H4 protein, 0.17 and 0.24 nM for monkey protein, 0.13 to 0.18 nM for rat protein, and 0.30 to 0.52 nM for mouse protein. Control cytotoxic drug conjugates and antibody showed no binding to B7-H4 protein. Example 31: Binding Affinity of XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 and Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates to Human B7-H4 Protein by Octet [891] Binding kinetics of two batches of XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 – batch 1, and its XMT- cytotoxic drug conjugates Conjugate 2-1, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 12, and XMT-1604 B7- H4_2F9V18-batch 2 and its cytotoxic drug conjugates and Conjugate 2-2, Conjugate 1-3, to human B7-H4 were evaluated by Biolayer Interferometry (Octet) as described in Example 23. Table 10 summarizes results. For human, monkey, rat, and mouse B7-H4. The results for XMT- 1604 B7H4_2F9V18 – batch 1, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 2-1 are the mean of three studies, and XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 – batch 2, Conjugate 2-2 and Conjugate 1-3 were analyzed once. Table 10 [892] As is shown in Table 10, K d , k on , and k off values of XMT-1604 (B7H4_2F9V18 cytotoxic drug conjugates and XMT-1604 B7H4_2F9V18 antibody were similar to the unconjugated antibodies. For XMT-1604 B7H4_2F9V18 - batch 1and its conjugates Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 2-1, Kd values range between 1.87E-08 to 2.56E-08 M, kon values between 8.13E+04 to 1.09E+05 M -1 s -1 , and k off values between 1.80E-03 to 1.94E-03 s -1 . For XMT-1604 B7H4_2F9V18 – batch 2 and its cytotoxic drug conjugates Conjugate 1-3 and Conjugate 2-2, K d values are between 2.15E-08 to 2.51E-08 M, k on values between 8.51E+04 to 1.06E+05, and k off values between 2.01E-03 to 2.44E-03. Example 32: Cellular Binding Assay for XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) B7-H4 Cytotoxic Drug -Drug Conjugates by FACS [893] Cell surface binding to human B7-H4 by XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its conjugates Conjugate 2-1, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 12 were evaluated by flow cytometry Controls used in this study included nonbinding hu-IgG1 antibody, Palivizumab, and ADCs Conjugate 10, Conjugate 9-2, and Conjugate 14. [894] Binding of test articles to the cell lines MX-1 and HEK-293 cells stably transfected with human B7-H4 and untransfected HEK-293 cells was evaluated using a MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) as described in Example 24 except test articles were evaluated at a concentration of 0.0013 nM to 100 nM; 5-fold serial dilutions in 1% BSA in PBS. MX-1 cells were grown as described in Example 24. HEK-293-B7-H4 cells were grown in EMEM (ATCC), 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 3μg/ml puromycin (Life Technologies) and untransfected HEK-293 cells were grown in EMEM, 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Table 11 summarizes the EC 50 values of test articles on the surface of MX-1, HEK-293-B7-H4, and HEK-293 cells. Results are mean values for two replicate experiments for each test article. Table 11 [895] As shown in Table 11, the binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) to MX-1 and HEK- 293-B7-H4 cells were very similar to that of its cytotoxic drug conjugates Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 2-1 (all within twofold). Nonbinding control antibody and its cytotoxic drug conjugates did not bind to MX-1 or HEK-293-B7-H4 cells, and none of the test articles bound to untransfected HEK-293 cells. These results indicate specific, potent binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its cytotoxic drug conjugates to cell surface B7-H4. Example 33: Cytotoxicity Assay for XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18)- Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates [896] Antiproliferative activity of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) cytotoxic drug conjugates were tested in a cytotoxicity assays. Test cytotoxic drug conjugates were Conjugate 2-1, Conjugate 1-2, Conjugate 1-3, and Conjugate 12. Controls used in this study included nonbinding control conjugates Conjugate 10, Conjugate 9-2, and Conjugate 14. [897] Cytotoxicity assays were performed using HEK-293-B7-H4 and untransfected HEK-293 cells in vitro using CellTiter-Glo ® (Promega Corp). Cells were plated at a density of 2,000 cells per well in white-walled (volume) 96-well plate and allowed to adhere overnight at 37 o C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 . Cells were incubated with increasing concentrations of the test articles. Three days later, or five days later for CAMA-1 cells, CellTiter-Glo ® reagent was added to the wells at room temperature. The luminescent signal was measured after 10 minutes using a SpectraMax M5 plate reader (Molecular Devices). Dose-response curves were generated using Graphpad Prism software. EC 50 values were determined from four-parameter curve fitting. Table 12 summarizes the EC 50 values. Values shown are mean values for two replicate experiments for each test article. Table 12 [898] As shown in Table 12, for CAMA-1 cells, Conjugate 1-3 was more than 200 fold more potent than Conjugate 9-2. For HEK-293-B7-H4 cells, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, and Conjugate 2-1 showed similar cytotoxic potency (within twofold), whereas nonbinding control conjugates, Conjugate 9-2, Conjugate 10, and Conjugate 14 were more than 100x less potent. In untransfected HEK-293 cells, which do not express B7-H4, all conjugates showed similar EC 50 values (within twofold) that were greater than 100 nM. Results of these studies indicate specific, potent induction of cellular cytotoxicity by B7-H4 conjugates. Example 34: Binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and 1D11 STING Agonist Conjugates to Recombinant Human B7-H4 Protein by ELISA [899] The binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its STING agonist conjugate, Conjugate 15 and Conjugate 19, to recombinant human B7-H4 protein was conducted by ELISA as described in Example 23 except that the wells were blocked by incubation with blocking buffer (3% BSA in PBST) and a range of dilutions for the test articles from 0 to 100 nM (4-fold serial dilutions in 1% BSA in PBST) was used. Other test articles in this study are 1D11 antibody and its STING agonist conjugate (Conjugate 16, Conjugate 18 and Conjugate 20), non-binding antibody (palivizumab) and its STING agonist conjugate, Conjugate 17. Table 13 summarizes the binding values (EC 50 ). Table 13 [900] As shown in Table 13, the EC 50 values of the Conjugate 15, Conjugate 16, Conjugate 18, Conjugate 19, and Conjugate 20 of 0.991.08 nM, 0.76, 0.47, and 1.54 respectively were comparable whereas the control antibody and its conjugate did not show any binding. These results indicate specific binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its conjugates to human B7-H4 protein. Example 35: Cellular Binding Assay of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and 1D11 STING Agonist Conjugates by FACS [901] The cell surface binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its conjugate (Conjugate 15, Conjugate 15-1 and Conjugate 20) to MX-1 cells were assessed using a MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Controls used in this study included 1D11 antibody and its conjugates (Conjugate 16 and Conjugate 19) and non-binding antibody (palivizumab) and its conjugate, Conjugate 17. The experiment was performed as described in Example 24 except cells were incubated on ice for 2 hours with a range of concentrations from 0.0122 nM to 200 nM (4-fold serial dilutions) of the test articles in a total volume of 100 μl medium amended with 6% goat serum. The cells were washed with ice cold PBS (2x), pelleted at 1,000 × RCF between each wash step, and resuspended in RPMI-1640 with 2% goat serum (100 μL) and a secondary fluorescently labeled antibody, Alexa Fluor ® 647-labelled goat anti-human IgG (6 μg/mL, Life Technologies) for 1 hour on ice. The cells were washed with ice cold PBS (2x) and resuspended in ice cold PBS with 1% paraformaldehyde (100 μL). The fluorescence per cell was determined by analyzing 10,000 cells for each treatment on the flow cytometer. Table 14 summarizes the EC 50 values of the antibodies and their corresponding STING agonist conjugates for binding to the MX-1 cells. Table 14 [902] As shown in Table 14, the binding of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and its conjugate (Conjugate 15, Conjugate 15-1 and Conjugate 20) to MX-1 cells was comparable and their EC 50 values were greater than those observed for 1D11 antibody and its conjugates (Conjugate 16 and Conjugate 19) (within 2-4-fold). Non-binding control antibody (palivizumab) and its conjugate, Conjugate 17, did not bind to MX-1 cells. These results indicate specific low nM binding of B7- H4_2F9V18 and its conjugates, Conjugate 15, Conjugate 15-1 and Conjugate 20 to cell surface B7-H4. Example 36: STING Activation In Vitro Functional Assay of XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) and 1D11 STING Agonist Conjugates Using Cancer Cell/THP1 Luciferase Reporter Cell Co-Cultures [903] The induction of the STING pathway in immune cells by B7-H4-targeted STING agonist conjugates was evaluated by a cancer cell/THP1-IRF3-Luciferase reporter cell co-culture assay. MX-1 cells were seeded in 96-well CellBind surface tissue culture plates (17,000 cells/well) and allowed to attach for 4 hours in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. A range of dilutions (0.01 nM to 100 nM based on payload; 4-fold serial dilutions in growth medium) of conjugates: Conjugate 15, Conjugate 16, Conjugate 19, Conjugate 20, Conjugate 15-1, Conjugate 15-2, and Conjugate 17 or free STING agonist (prepared as described in US 11,155,567) were added to each well and the plate was incubated for 20 min at 37 ºC. THP1-Dual™ Cells (InvivoGen) (50,000 cells) were then added to each well and the incubation continued for 24 hours at 37 ºC in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 . Cell culture supernatants (20 μL) from each incubated sample was added to resuspended QUANTI- Luc (InvivoGen) (50 μL) and the luminescent signal was measured immediately using a SpectraMax M5 plate reader (Molecular Devices). The EC 50 values were determined from the dose response curve. Table 15 provides the EC 50 values in THP1-Dual cells co-cultured with MX-1 cancer cells. Table 15 [904] As shown in Table 15, both STING agonist conjugates, Conjugate 15, Conjugate 16, Conjugate 19, Conjugate 20, Conjugate 15-1, Conjugate 15-2, exhibited similar Luciferase reporter activity with EC 50 values below 1 nM, and at least 200-fold lower than the non-binding antibody (palivizumab) conjugate, Conjugate 17, and free STING agonist, respectively. Thus, B7-H4_2F9V18 STING agonist conjugate demonstrates target specificity and a role of Fc receptor mediated delivery to immune cells (THP1) for activity. Example 37: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of B7-H4_2F9 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates in MX-1 TNBC Xenograft Mouse Model [905] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with MX-1 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (~1 mm 3 per mouse). Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 63-196 mm 3 (mean = 119-123 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group). Vehicle, Conjugate 9-1 (2.46/0.075 or 4.92/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 11(2.28/0.075 or 4.56/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 3 (2.30/0.075 or 4.60/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 6 (2.30/0.075 or 4.61/0.150 mg/kg), 3740 (2.30/0.075 or 4.60/0.150 mg/kg) or Conjugate 1-1 (2.30/0.075 or 4.60/0.150 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are given by antibody/ payload). No significant body weight loss or clinical observations were noted.

Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 75-221 mm 3 (mean = 123.5 – 126.8 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group). Vehicle, Conjugate 14 (2.57/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 9-2 (4.56/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 10 (14.37/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 or 0.75/0.050 mg/kg), Conjugate 1-2 (5.37/0.177, 2.33/0.077 or 1.79/0.059 mg/kg), Conjugate 2-1 (13.45/0.150, 4.60/0.050, or 2.30/0.025 mg/kg) or XMT-1604 B7-H4_2F9V18 (13.80/0 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are given by antibody/ by payload). No significant body weight loss or clinical observations were noted. [908] FIG.8 provides the results for the tumor volumes of MX-1 tumor-bearing mice treated with B7-H4_2F9 cytotoxic drug conjugates: Conjugate 14, Conjugate 9-2, Conjugate 10, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, Conjugate 2-1, and XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18). Treatment with Conjugate 142.57/0.150 mg/kg resulted in 1 CR, 1 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 12 2.26/0.150 mg/kg resulted in 1 PR. Treatment with Conjugate 1-25.37/0.177 mg/kg resulted in 10 CRs, 8 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 1-22.33/0.077 mg/kg resulted in 1 PR, 2 CRs, 2 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 1-21.79/0.050 mg/kg resulted in 1 CR. No other treatments induced a regression response. Example 39: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates in HBCx-19 Patient Derived Xenograft Model [909] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with HBCx-19 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (4x3 mm per mouse). Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 75-221 mm 3 (mean = 123.5 – 126.8 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group).

No significant body weight loss or clinical observations were noted. [910] FIG.9 provides the results for the tumor volumes of HBCx-19 tumor-bearing mice treated with B7-H4_2F9 cytotoxic drug conjugates: Conjugate 9-2, Conjugate 10, Conjugate 1- 21 and Conjugate 2-1. Treatment with Conjugate 1-2 (5.37/0.177 mg/kg) resulted in 7 TFS showing that this conjugate was the most efficacious. No other treatments induced an anti-tumor response. Example 40: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates in HBCx-24 Patient Derived Xenograft Model [911] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with HBCx-24 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (4x3 mm per mouse). Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 62.5 - 256 mm 3 (mean = 141.40 – 149.25 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group). Vehicle, Conjugate 14 (2.57/0.150 mg/kg) , Conjugate 9-2 (4.56/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 10 (14.37/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 or 0.75/0.050 mg/kg), Conjugate 1-2 (4.56/0.150, 2.30/0.076 or 1.52/0.05 mg/kg), Conjugate 2-1 (13.45/0.150, 4.60/0.050, or 2.30/0.025 mg/kg) or XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18) (13.80/0 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are given by antibody/ by payload). No significant body weight loss or clinical observations were noted. [912] FIG.10 provides the results for the tumor volumes of HBCx-24 tumor-bearing mice treated with B7-H4_2F9 cytotoxic drug conjugates: Conjugate 14, Conjugate 9-2, Conjugate 10, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2, Conjugate 2-1, and XMT-1604 (B7-H4_2F9V18). Treatment with Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 mg/kg) resulted in 3 PRs, 6 CRs, 1 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 1- 2 (1.52/0.050 mg/kg( resulted in 5 TFSs. Treatment with Conjugate 1-2 (2.30/0.076 mg/kg) resulted in 3 PRs and 4 CRs. Treatment with Conjugate 1-2 (4.56/0.150 mg/kg) resulted in 10 CRs, and 3 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 2-1 (4.60/0.050 mg/kg) resulted in 5 TSs. Treatment with Conjugate 2-1 (13.80/0.150 mg/kg) resulted in 7 TSs. No other treatments induced an anti- tumor response. Example 41: Plasma Exposure of total drug in MX-1 tumor Mice after Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates [913] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with MX-1 tumor fragments (n=4 for each group). Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 or 0.75/0.050 mg/kg), Conjugate 1-2 (5.37/0.177, 2.33/0.077 or 1.79/0.059 mg/kg) or Conjugate 2-1 (13.80/0.150, 4.60/0.050, or 2.30/0.025 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are given by antibody/payload). Tail snip blood samples (0.04 mL) were collected at the following time points: 15 minutes, 24 hours (Day 2), 72 hours (Day 4), 168 hours (Day 8), 240 hours (Day 11), and 336 hours (Day 15) after dosing. Blood was processed to plasma with K 2 EDTA anti-coagulant for collection. Samples were snap frozen and stored at -80 o C until shipment. [914] Total antibody was measured using an MSD-ECL sandwich immunoassay. Conjugated drug was measured by LC-MS after the samples were immunocaptured using generic anti-human Fc magnetic beads and treated with sodium hydroxide in order to release the conjugated drug. Tables 16 and 17 gives the PK parameters for total antibody and conjugated drug respectively Table 16

Table 17 [915] For total antibody, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2 and Conjugate 2-1 appear to have dose proportional C max . All test articles appear to demonstrate a decrease in clearance as the doses are increased. Conjugate 1-2 has comparable clearance to Conjugate 2-1 at different dose levels, yet with low exposure (AUC) of antibody due to DAR difference and equal payload dosing. [916] For antibody conjugated drug, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-2 and Conjugate 2-1 appear to have dose proportional C max . Conjugate 12 with payload doses of 0.15 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg, was observed to have lower exposure and faster clearance, compared to Conjugate 1-2 and Conjugate 2-1. Conjugate 1-2 has comparable exposure and clearance to Conjugate 2-1 at different dose levels. Example 42: Plasma Exposure of total drug in MX-1 tumor Mice after Administration of B7-H4_2F9 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates [917] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with MX-1 tumor fragments (n=4 for each group). Vehicle, Conjugate 11 (4.56/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 3 (4.60/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 6 (4.61/0.150 mg/kg), 3740 (4.60/0.150 mg/kg) or Conjugate 1-1 (4.60/0.150 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are given by antibody/payload). Tail snip blood samples (0.04 mL) were collected at the following time points: 15 minutes, 24 hours (Day 2), 72 hours (Day 4), 168 hours (Day 8), 240 hours (Day11), and 336 hours (Day 15) after dosing. Blood was processed to plasma with K 2 EDTA anti-coagulant for collection. Samples were snap frozen and stored at -80 o C until shipment. [918] Total antibody was measured using an MSD-ECL sandwich immunoassay. Total drug was measured by LC-MS after the samples were directly treated with sodium hydroxide in order to release the conjugated drug. Tables 18 and 19 gives the PK parameters for total antibody and total drug respectively Table 18 Table 19

[919] For total antibody, all test articles have approximate comparable C max , clearance and exposure, expressed as AUC∞. For conjugated drug, all test articles have comparable PK parameters in terms of C max , clearance and exposure, expressed as AUC∞. Example 43: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 and 1D11 STING Agonist Drug Conjugates in MX-1 Xenograft Mouse Model [920] Female CB.17 SCID mice were inoculated subcutaneously with MX-1 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (~1 mm 3 per mouse). Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 63-108 mm 3 (mean = 76.8-82 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group). Vehicle, Conjugate 17 (0.085/0.030 or 2.84/0.100 mg /kg), Conjugate 16 (0.89/0.030 or 2.97/0.100 mg/kg), Conjugate 15 (0.85/0.030 or 2.83/0.100 mg/kg), or diABZI IV STING agonist (5 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are written as antibody/payload). [921] FIG.11 provides the results for the tumor volumes of MX-1 tumor-bearing mice treated with STING agonist drug conjugates: Conjugate 17, Conjugate 16, Conjugate 15 and diABZI IV STING agonist. Treatment with Conjugate 17 (2.84/0.100 mg/kg) resulted in 1 CR; this animal was classified as a tumor-free survivor at the time of study termination (day 60). Treatment with Conjugate 16 (0.89/0.030 mg/kg) resulted in 1 PR and 2 CRs; 1 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 16 (2.97/0.100 mg/kg) resulted in 8 CRs, 6 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 15 (0.85/0.030 mg/kg) resulted in 1 CR and 1 TFS. Treatment with Conjugate 15 (2.83/0.100 mg/kg) resulted in 10 CRs, 5 TFS. Treatment with diABZI IV STING agonist (5 mg/kg) resulted in 1 CR. The results show that Conjugate 15 (2.83/0.100 mg/kg) was the most efficacious. Example 44: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates in MX-1 TNBC Xenograft model [922] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with MX-1 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (1mm 3 per mouse). Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 75 to 196 mm 3 (mean = 125 – 128 mm 3 /group) (n=10/group). Vehicle, Conjugate 14 (2.57/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 9-2 (4.56/0.150 mg/kg), Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 or 1.13/0.075 mg/kg), Conjugate 1-3 (4.68 / 0.150 or 2.34 / 0.075 mg/kg), or Conjugate 2-2 (13.81/0.150 or 6.90/0.075 mg/kg) were dosed intravenously on day 1 (all doses are written as antibody/payload). No significant body weight loss or clinical observations were noted. [923] FIG.12 provides the results for the tumor volumes of MX-1 tumor-bearing mice treated with Conjugate 14, Conjugate 9-2, Conjugate 12, Conjugate 1-3, or Conjugate 2-2. Treatment with Conjugate 12 (2.26/0.150 mg/kg) resulted in 1 CR. Treatment with Conjugate 1-3 (4.68/0.150 mg/kg) resulted in 10 CRs, 7 TFSs. Treatment with Conjugate 1-3 (2.34/0.075 mg/kg) resulted in 2 PRs. No other treatments induced a regression response. Example 45: Plasma Exposure in Mice after Administration of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugates [924] Female athymic nude mice were implanted subcutaneously with MX-1 human breast cancer xenograft tumor fragments (~1mm 3 per mouse). Vehicle, Conjugate 1-3 (2.32/0.075; 4.65/0.15), Conjugate 2-2 (6.74/0.075; 13.5/0.15), or Conjugate 12 (1.13/0.075; 2.26/0.15) were dosed intravenously as a single dose on day 1 (all doses are written as antibody/payload). Tail snip blood samples (0.04 mL) were collected at the following time points: 15 minutes, 24 hours (Day 2), 72 hours (Day 4), 168 hours (Day 8), 240 hours (Day 11), and 336 hours (Day 15) after dosing. Blood was processed to plasma with K2EDTA anti-coagulant for collection. Samples were snap frozen and stored at -80 o C until shipment. [925] Total antibody was measured using an MSD-ECL sandwich immunoassay. Conjugated drug was measured by LC-MS after the samples were subjected to immunocapture by an anti- human IgG1 Fc antibody immobilized on magnetic beads, followed by AF-HPA release by hydrolysis.

Table 20 Table 21 [926] For total antibody, Conjugate 1-3, Conjugate 2-2, and Conjugate 12 appear to have dose proportional C max . Conjugate 12 was observed to have lower exposure and faster clearance, compared to Conjugates 1-2 and 2-2. Conjugate 1-3 has comparable clearance to Conjugate 2-2 at different dose levels, but with low exposure (AUC) of antibody. [927] For antibody conjugated drug, Conjugate 1-3, Conjugate 2-2 and Conjugate 12 appear to have dose proportional Cmax. Conjugate 12 was observed to have lower exposure and faster clearance, compared to Conjugates 1-2 and 2-2. Conjugate 1-3 has comparable exposure and clearance to Conjugate 2-1 at different dose levels.

Efficacy of B7-H4_2F9V18 Cytotoxic Drug Conjugate in an Unselected Series of Human Breast Primary Cancer Xenografts [933] A panel of twenty-eight breast cancer patient-derived xenograft models, (Champions Oncology) annotated by the supplier by prior treatment history, and divided between TNBC and ER-positive subtypes, was implanted into athymic Nude-Foxn1n mice. When the tumors reached an average volume of 150-300 mm 3 , animals (n=3) were treated with a single intraveneous administration of either Conjugate 1-3 ( 4.71 mg/kg/0.15 mg/kg, antibody/payload) or saline vehicle on day 1. Tumor volumes were measured until the planned endpoint of mean tumor volume of the control group of 1500 mm 3 or day 28. At the endpoint, xenografts, or tumor beds (in the case of no palpable mass) were collected as formalin fixed paraffin embedded material. Two additional ER positive models, originally proposed for this study, were excluded from summary analysis due to unexpectedly rapid growth/ambiguous tumor origin (CTG-3277) or very slow growth in vehicle animals (CTG-2611). [934] FIG.13 shows the efficacy of Conjugate 1-3 ordered by median best response (MBR), broken out by receptor status (TNBC vs ER-positive), as annotated by the vendor. The Y axis shows the MBR achieved by each model and the X axis identifies the model ID. In this study, 9/28 (32%) of breast carcinoma models achieved a median best response of 50% (shown as -0.5 on the Y Axis) or better following a single dose of Conjugate 1-3, and the anti-tumor effect of MBR of 50% or more was more frequent in TNBC models 6/15 (40%) compared to ER-positive models 3/13 (23 %). Example 49. Protein and RNA Expression of B7-H4 in Mouse Primary Xenograft Tissues [935] Based on availability of xenograft tissues from Example 44, RNA and Protein Analysis were performed. RNA was extracted from FFPE samples using the Qiagen Rneasy FFPE kit according to the manufacturers instructions. Samples were equalized based on nanodrop reading and cDNA produced using the Thermofisher SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix with exDNase Enzyme. Gene expression assays were set up with the TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix. ABI assay Hs01552471_g1 was used for VTCN1. Hs99999903_m1 ACTB and Hs03929097_g1 GAPDH were used as endogenous controls. Expression data was analyzed as ΔΔ Ct of the average of animals in each vehicle treated group (generally n=3) relative to a Universal RNA control. [936] IHC to detect B7-H4 expression was performed on a single vehicle treated animal from each model. Briefly, tissues were sectioned at 4 μ onto positively charged slides and dried overnight. Using the Leica BOND III platform, sections were baked, dewaxed and subjected to antigen retrieval (LEICA BOND III ER1+ Proteinase K). The primary B7-H4 antibody (Abcam ab209242) was used at a concentration of 0.2 μg/ml (prepared in DAKO/Agilent diluent S3022). Signal was detected using the Leica BOND Polymer Refine system/DAB chromogen. Slides were evaluated by light microscopy and scored using H-Score and TPS methods. [937] FIG.14 shows the protein expression as evaluated by TPS score. There appeared to be an efficacy/expression relationship. When TPS score was trellised by receptor status, higher expression was more likely in models annotated as TNBC. A similar pattern was seen comparing H score or relative RNA expression values to compound efficacy.
