BACKGROUND

[0004] Angiogenesis and immune tolerance are both normal physiologic mechanisms that are hijacked by tumors. Angiogenesis involves the formation of new vessels from preexisting ones during development and wound healing. The modulation of angiogenesis is highly regulated by proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors, a process that becomes disrupted and dysregulated in cancer. Tumor-driven hypoxia increases the expression of proangiogenic factors leading to the formation of new vessels that are vital to the tumor survival and proliferation. The VEGF family, consisting of six growth factors (VEGFA-F), plays the most critical role in angiogenesis by binding to their receptors VEGFR1 -3 and neuropilin. Angiogenesis can also be mediated by the angiopoietin (Ang1-2)/Tie-2 pathway, independent from the VEGF pathway. Accordingly, drug development was heavily focused on anti-angiogenesis in the past decade as a strategy to deprive tumor's nutrition and inhibit tumor growth. However, despite the modest activities of these agents as single agents or in combination with chemotherapy, tumors can overcome their effects and become resistant.

[0005] Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a modality that can effectively treat a variety of cancers with the discovery of immune checkpoints. A plethora of investigations with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has demonstrated a long-lasting clinical activity against many malignancies. ICIs block another mechanism hijacked by tumor “immune exhaustion,” unleashing the effector immune cells against cancer. Primary resistance to ICIs is described in tumors that lack tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In addition, tumors that initially respond to ICIs can develop secondary resistance due to defects in antigen-presenting machinery and the overexpression of coinhibitory molecules among other factors.

[0006] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for compositions and methods which address angiogenesis and immune exhaustion in tumor cells. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Both immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and anti-angiogenesis agents have changed the landscape of cancer treatment in the modern era. While anti- angiogenesis agents have demonstrated activities in tumors with high vascularization, including renal cell carcinoma and colorectal cancer, the effect of ICIs has been seen mainly in immunologically recognized tumors, with highly immune-infiltrative lymphocytes. The main challenge in the drug development of ICIs is moving their activities to noninflamed tumors and overcoming resistance that is driven, in part, by the immune-suppressive microenvironment. Angiogenesis factors drive immune suppression by directly suppressing the antigen-presenting cells as well as immune effector cells or through augmenting the effect of regulatory T cells (Treg), myeloid- derived suppressor cells (MDSC), and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM). Those suppressive immune cells can also drive angiogenesis, creating a vicious cycle of impaired immune activation. Applicants have discovered that compositions and certain methods comprising MYCT1 reduce or prevent tumor growth, reduce or prevent tumor angiogenesis (i.e. , the formation and development of the vasculature that tumors need in order to thrive and progress), and/or increase tumor immune response.

[0036] MYCT1 proteins, appears dispensable for homeostatic angiogenesis signaling, but necessary for the maintenance of immune-suppressive tumor vasculature and tumor microenvironment (Kabir et al., Sci. Transl. Med. 13, eabb6731 (2021 ) content of which is herein incorporated by reference). The present disclosure is based, in part, on the identification of anti-MYCT1 monoclonal antibodies which specifically binds an epitope within extracellular region of MYCT1 protein. MYCT1 protein exists in two isoforms in humans. One isoform has a sequence with 235 amino acids (referred herein as isoform 1 ), and a second isoform which is shorter, with 187 amino acids (referred herein as isoform 2). The amino acids 1-19 of mouse MYCT1 is identical to amino acids 48-67 of human MYCT1 isoform 1 (FIG. 1A) and amino acids 1 - 19 of human MYCT1 isoform 2. This conserved region of MYCT1 was targeted for generation of antibodies herein. The disclosed antibodies generated using this extracellular region of MYCT1 have wide applicability, including neutralizing activity against both human MYCT1 protein and mouse MYCT1 protein. Thus, the present disclosure encompasses use of compositions and methods comprising anti-MYCT1 antibodies to treat a tumor or cancer in a subject. In particular, the present disclosure provides that MYCT1 expression and/or activity is required in controlling tumor angiogenesis and reprogramming tumor immunity. Further provided herein are compositions and methods which down-regulate MYCT1 activity and/or expression in cells (e.g., endothelial cells). The down-regulation of MYCT1 is associated with reduced angiogenesis, enhanced endothelial venule formation, and promoted an anti-tumor immune environment, leading to restricted tumor progression. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods for reducing or preventing angiogenesis and increasing tumor immune response.

The term “about” also encompasses these variations, which can be up to ± 5%, but can also be ± 4%, 3%, 2%, 1 %, etc. Whether or not modified by the term “about,” the claims include equivalents to the quantities.

[0041 ] The phrase “and/or,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims, should be understood to mean “either or both” of the elements so conjoined, i.e. , elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with “and/or” should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., “one or more” of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the “and/or” clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to “A and/or B”, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as “comprising” can refer, in one aspect, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another aspect, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another aspect, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc.

[0042] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, “or” should be understood to have the same meaning as “and/or” as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, “or” or “and/or” shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as “only one of” or “exactly one of,” or, when used in the claims, “consisting of,” will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term “or” as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e. “one or the other but not both”) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as “either,” “one of,” “only one of,” or “exactly one of.” “Consisting essentially of,” when used in the claims, shall have its ordinary meaning as used in the field of patent law.

[0043] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, the phrase “at least one,” in reference to a list of one or more elements, should be understood to mean at least one element selected from any one or more of the elements in the list of elements, but not necessarily including at least one of each and every element specifically listed within the list of elements and not excluding any combinations of elements in the list of elements. This definition also allows that elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified within the list of elements to which the phrase “at least one” refers, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, “at least one of A and B” (or, equivalently, “at least one of A or B,” or, equivalently “at least one of A and/or B”) can refer, in one aspect, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, with no B present (and optionally including elements other than B); in another aspect, to at least one, optionally including more than one, B, with no A present (and optionally including elements other than A); in yet another aspect, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, and at least one, optionally including more than one, B (and optionally including other elements); etc.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Any reference to “or” herein is intended to encompass “and/or” unless otherwise stated. Whenever the term “at least,” “greater than,” or “greater than or equal to” precedes the first numerical value in a series of two or more numerical values, the term “at least,” “greater than” or “greater than or equal to” applies to each of the numerical values in that series of numerical values. For example, greater than or equal to 1 , 2, or 3 is equivalent to greater than or equal to 1 , greater than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to 3.

[0045] Whenever the term “no more than,” “less than,” “less than or equal to,” or “at most” precedes the first numerical value in a series of two or more numerical values, the term “no more than,” “less than” or “less than or equal to,” or “at most” applies to each of the numerical values in that series of numerical values. For example, less than or equal to 3, 2, or 1 is equivalent to less than or equal to 3, less than or equal to 2, or less than or equal to 1 .

[0046] Where values are described as ranges, it will be understood that such disclosure includes the disclosure of all possible sub-ranges within such ranges, as well as specific numerical values that fall within such ranges irrespective of whether a specific numerical value or specific sub-range is expressly stated.

[0001 ] The components to be used to prepare the disclosed compositions as well as the compositions themselves to be used within the methods disclosed herein. These and other materials are disclosed herein, and it is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutation of these compounds may not be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. For example, if a particular compound is disclosed and discussed and a number of modifications that can be made to a number of molecules of the compound are discussed, specifically contemplated is each and every combination and permutation of the compound and the modifications that are possible unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Thus, if a class of molecules A, B, and C are disclosed as well as a class of molecules D, E, and F and an example of a combination molecule, A-D is disclosed, then even if each is not individually recited each is individually and collectively contemplated meaning combinations, A-E, A-F, B-D, B-E, B-F, C-D, C-E, and C-F are considered disclosed. Likewise, any subset or combination of these is also disclosed. Thus, for example, the sub-group of A-E, B-F, and C-E would be considered disclosed. This concept applies to all aspects of this application including, but not limited to, steps in methods of making and using the disclosed compositions. Thus, if there are a variety of additional steps that can be performed it is understood that each of these additional steps can be performed with any specific aspect or combination of aspects of the disclosed methods.

[0002] As used herein, the term “non-naturally occurring” substance, composition, entity, and/or any combination of substances, compositions, or entities, or any grammatical variants thereof, is a conditional term that explicitly excludes, but only excludes, those forms of the substance, composition, entity, and/or any combination of substances, compositions, or entities that are well-understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art as being “naturally-occurring,” or that are, or might be at any time, determined or interpreted by a judge or an administrative or judicial body to be, “ natu ra I ly-occu rring . ”

[0003] By "specifically binds," it is meant that a binding molecule, e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds to an epitope via its antigen binding domain, and that the binding entails some recognition between the antigen binding domain and the epitope. According to this definition, a binding molecule is said to "specifically bind" to an epitope when it binds to that epitope, via its antigen-binding domain binds more readily than it would bind to a random, unrelated epitope.

[0004] The portion of a target polypeptide that specifically interacts with the antigen binding domain of an antibody is an “epitope.” Furthermore, it should be noted that an “epitope” on MYCT1 can be a linear epitope or a conformational epitope, and in both instances can include non-polypeptide elements, e.g., an epitope can include a carbohydrate or lipid side chain. The term “affinity” refers to a measure of the strength of the binding of an individual epitope with an antibody’s antigen binding site.

[0005] The term “antibody,” as used herein, is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody and antibody-like structures, including but not limited to full-length monoclonal, polyclonal, and multispecific (e.g., bispecific, trispecific, etc.) antibodies, as well as heavy chain antibodies and antibody fragments provided they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. The domain(s) of an antibody that is involved in binding an antigen is referred to as a “variable region” or “variable domain,” and is described in further detail below. A single variable domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Preferably, but not necessarily, antibodies useful in the discovery are produced recombinantly. Antibodies may or may not be glycosylated, though glycosylated antibodies may be preferred. An “isolated” antibody is one which has been separated from a component of its natural environment. In some aspects, an antibody is purified to greater than 95% or 99% purity as determined by methods known in the art. [0006] In addition to antibodies described herein, it may be possible to design an antibody mimetic or an aptamer using methods known in the art that functions substantially the same as an antibody of the invention. An “antibody mimetic” refers to a polypeptide or a protein that can specifically bind to an antigen but is not structurally related to an antibody. Antibody mimetics have a mass of about 3 kDa to about 20 kDa. Non-limiting examples of antibody mimetics are affibody molecules, affilins, affimers, alphabodies, anticalins, avimers, DARPins, and monobodies. Aptamers are a class of small nucleic acid ligands that are composed of RNA or single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides and have high specificity and affinity for their targets. Aptamers interact with and bind to their targets through structural recognition, a process similar to that of an antigen-antibody reaction. Aptamers have a lower molecular weight than antibodies, typically about 8-25 kDa.

[0007] The terms “full length antibody” and “intact antibody” may be used interchangeably, and refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure or having heavy chains that contain an Fc region as defined herein. The basic structural unit of a native antibody comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light” chain (about 25 kDa) and one "heavy" chain (about 50-70 kDa). Light chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, and lambda. Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, and define the antibody's isotype as IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively. The amino-terminal portion of each light and heavy chain includes a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acid sequences primarily responsible for antigen recognition (VL and VH, respectively). The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. Within light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acid sequences, with the heavy chain also including a "D" region of about 10 more amino acid sequences. Intact antibodies are properly cross-linked via disulfide bonds, as is known in the art.

[0008] The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain of an antibody generally have similar structures, with each domain comprising four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three hypervariable regions (HVRs). (See, e.g., Kindt et al. Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co., page 91 (2007).) A single VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind a particular antigen may be isolated using a VH or VL domain from an antibody that binds the antigen to screen a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively. See, e.g., Portolano et al., J. Immunol. 150:880-887 (1993); Clarkson et al., Nature 352:624-628 (1991 ).

[0009] “Framework region” or “FR” refers to variable domain residues other than hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain generally consists of four FR domains: FR1 , FR2, FR3, and FR4. Accordingly, the HVR and FR sequences generally appear in the following sequence: FR1-HVR1-FR2-HVR2-FR3- HVR3-FR4. The FR domains of a heavy chain and a light chain may differ, as is known in the art.

[0010] The term “hypervariable region” or “HVR” as used herein refers to each of the regions of a variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence (also commonly referred to as “complementarity determining regions” or “CDR”) and/or form structurally defined loops (“hypervariable loops”) and/or contain the antigen-contacting residues (“antigen contacts”). Generally, antibodies comprise six HVRs: three in the VH (H1 , H2, H3), and three in the VL (L1 , L2, L3). As used herein, “an HVR derived from a variable region” refers to an HVR that has no more than two amino acid substitutions, as com-pared to the corresponding HVR from the original variable region. Exemplary HVRs herein include: (a) hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1 ), 50-52 (L2), 91 -96 (L3), 26-32 (H1 ), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 -917 (1987)); (b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24- 34 (L1 ), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31 -35b (H1 ), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991 )); (c) antigen contacts occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1 ), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1 ), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996)); (d) CDR1 -IMGT (positions 27-38), CDR2-IMGT (positions 56-65), and CDR3-IMGT regions (positions 105-116 or 105-117), which are based on IMGT unique numbering (Lefranc, “The IMGT unique numbering for Immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and Ig-like domains,” The Immunologist, 1999, 7: 132-136; Lefranc et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2009, 37(Database issue): D1006-D1012; Ehrenmann et al., “Chapter 2: Standardized Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Using IMGT,” in Antibody Engineering Volume 2, Eds. Roland E. Kontermann and Stefan Dubel, 2010, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-01147-4; imgt.org/IMGTScientificChart/Nomenclature/IMGT-FRCDRdefiniti on), and (e) combinations of (a), (b), (c), and/or (d), as defined below for various antibodies of this disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated, HVR residues and other residues in the variable domain (e.g., FR residues) that are assigned sequence identification numbers are numbered based on IMGT unique numbering, supra.

[0011 ] The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one aspect, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-term inus of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may or may not be present. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991.

[0012] A “variant Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence that can differ from that of a native Fc region by virtue of one or more amino acid substitution(s) and/or by virtue of a modified glycosylation pattern, as compared to a native Fc region or to the Fc region of a parent polypeptide. In an example, a variant Fc region can have from about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, or from about one to about five amino acid substitutions in a native sequence Fc region or in the Fc region of the parent polypeptide. The variant Fc region herein may possess at least about 80% homology, at

Yl least about 90% homology, or at least about 95% homology with a native sequence Fc region and/or with an Fc region of a parent polypeptide.

[0013] An “antibody fragment” refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Non-limiting examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2; single-chain forms of antibodies and higher or-der variants thereof; single-domain antibodies, and multi-specific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0014] Single-chain forms of antibodies, and their higher order forms, may include, but are not limited to, single-domain antibodies, single chain variant fragments (scFvs), divalent scFvs (di-scFvs), trivalent scFvs (tri-scFvs), tetravalent scFvs (tetra- scFvs), diabodies, and triabodies and tetrabodies. ScFv’s are comprised of heavy and light chain variable regions connected by a linker. In most instances, but not all, the linker may be a peptide. A linker peptide is preferably from about 5 to 30 amino acids in length, or from about 10 to 25 amino acids in length. Typically, the linker allows for stabilization of the variable domains without interfering with the proper folding and creation of an active binding site. In preferred aspects, a linker peptide is rich in glycine, as well as serine or threonine. ScFvs can be used to facilitate phage display or can be used for flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, or as targeting domains. Methods of making and using scFvs are known in the art. ScFvs may also be conjugated to a human constant domain (e.g. a heavy constant domain is derived from an IgG do-main, such as lgG1 , lgG2, lgG3, or lgG4, or a heavy chain constant domain derived from IgA, IgM, or IgE). Diabodies, triabodies, and tetrabodies and higher order variants are typically created by varying the length of the linker peptide from zero to several amino acids. Alternatively, it is also well known in the art that multivalent binding antibody variants can be generated using self-assembling units linked to the variable domain.

[0015] A “single-domain antibody” refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a single, monomeric variable antibody domain.

[0016] Multi-specific antibodies include bi-specific antibodies, tri-specific, or anti-bodies of four or more specificities. Multi-specific antibodies may be created by combining the heavy and light chains of one antibody with the heavy and light chains of one or more other antibodies. These chains can be covalently linked.

[0017] An antibody of the disclosure may be a Dual-affinity Re-targeting Antibody (DART). The DART format is based on the diabody format that separates cognate variable domains of heavy and light chains of the 2 antigen binding specificities on 2 separate polypeptide chains. Whereas the 2 polypeptide chains associate noncovalently in the diabody format, the DART format provides additional stabilization through a C-terminal disulfide bridge. DARTs can be produced in high quantity and quality and reveal exceptional stability in both formulation buffer and human serum.

[0018] As used herein "Monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody that is derived from a single copy or clone, including e.g., any eukaryotic, prokaryotic, or phage clone. "Monoclonal antibody" is not limited to antibodies produced through hybridoma technology. Monoclonal antibodies can be produced using hybridoma techniques well known in the art, as well as recombinant technologies, phage display technologies, synthetic technologies or combinations of such technologies and other technologies readily known in the art. Furthermore, the monoclonal antibody may be labeled with a detectable label, immobilized on a solid phase and/or conjugated with a heterologous compound (e.g., an enzyme or toxin) according to methods known in the art.

[0019] As used herein “heavy chain antibody” refers to an antibody that consists of two heavy chains. A heavy chain antibody may be an IgG-like antibody from camels, llamas, alpacas, sharks, etc., or an IgNAR from a cartiliaginous fish.

[0020] As used herein "humanized antibody" refers to a non-human antibody that has been modified to reduce the risk of the non-human antibody eliciting an immune response in humans following administration but retains similar binding specificity and affinity as the starting non-human antibody. A humanized antibody binds to the same or similar epitope as the non-human antibody. The term “humanized antibody” includes an antibody that is composed partially or fully of amino acid sequences derived from a human antibody germ line by altering the sequence of an antibody having non-human hypervariable regions (“HVR”). The simplest such alteration may consist simply of substituting the constant region of a human antibody for the murine constant region, thus resulting in a human/murine chimera which may have sufficiently low immunogenicity to be acceptable for pharmaceutical use. Preferably, the variable region of the antibody is also humanized by techniques that are by now well known in the art. For example, the framework regions of a variable region can be substituted by the corresponding human framework regions, while retaining one, several, or all six non-human HVRs. Some framework residues can be substituted with corresponding residues from a non-human VL domain or VH domain (e.g., the non- human antibody from which the HVR residues are derived), e.g., to restore or improve specificity or affinity of the humanized antibody. Substantially human framework regions have at least about 75% homology with a known human framework sequence (i.e. at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 99% sequence identity). HVRs may also be randomly mutated such that binding activity and affinity for the antigen is maintained or enhanced in the context of fully human germ line framework regions or framework regions that are substantially human. As mentioned above, it is sufficient for use in the methods of this discovery to employ an antibody fragment. Further, as used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody comprising a substantially human framework region, at least one HVR from a nonhuman antibody, and in which any constant region present is substantially human. Substantially human constant regions have at least about 90% with a known human constant sequence (i.e. about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% sequence identity). Hence, all parts of a humanized antibody, except possibly the HVRs, are substantially identical to corresponding pairs of one or more germline human immunoglobulin sequences.

[0021 ] If desired, the design of humanized immunoglobulins may be carried out as follows or using similar methods familiar to those with skill in the art (for example, see Almagro, et al. Front. Biosci. 2008, 13(5): 1619-33). A murine antibody variable region is aligned to the most similar human germline sequences (e.g. by using BLAST or similar algorithm). The CDR residues from the murine antibody sequence are grafted into the similar human “acceptor” germ line. Subsequently, one or more positions near the CDRs or within the framework (e.g., Vernier positions) may be reverted to the original murine amino acid in order to achieve a humanized antibody with similar binding affinity to the original murine antibody. Typically, several versions of humanized antibodies with different re-version mutations are generated and empirically tested for activity. The humanized antibody variant with properties most similar to the parent murine antibody and the fewest murine framework reversions is selected as the final humanized antibody candidate.

[0022] The term “specifically binds,” as used herein with regards to epitope binding agents, means that an epitope binding agent does not cross react to a significant extent with other epitopes on the protein of interest (e.g., MYCT1 ), or on other proteins in general.

[0023] The terms “Myc Target 1”, “MYC Target Protein 1”, “MTLC”, “Myc Target In Myeloid Cells Protein 1 ” or “MYCT1” encompasses all MYCT isoforms and orthologs, whether full-length, truncated, or post-translationally modified. In many animals, including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents, fish, cattle, frogs, goats, and chicken, MYCT1 is encoded by the gene Myctl gene (aka FLJ21269 and MTLC). The gene encoding MYCT1 is located on chromosome 6 (band q25.2; chromosome location (bp) 152697895 - 152724567) in humans. MYCT1 was initially identified as a novel target of the c-Myc oncogene in myeloid cells. Previous reports have suggested overexpression in cancer cells can promote apoptosis, alteration of morphology, enhancement of anchorage-independent cell growth, tumorigenic conversion, promotion of genomic instability, and inhibition of hematopoietic differentiation. MYCT1 was initially thought to be a transcription factor and binds to the promoters of several c-Myc-regulated genes and it has been suggested that the phenotypes seen in MYCT1 -overexpressing cells are a result of the deregulation of these genes. In humans, MYCT1 protein has two isoforms, isoform 1 which has a sequence of 235 amino acids in length, and a shorter isoform 2 which has a sequence of 187 amino acids in length. The amino acids 1 -19 of mouse MYCT1 is identical to amino acids 48-67 of human MYCT1 isoform 1 (FIG. 1A) and amino acids 1 -19 of human MYCT1 isoform 2. [0024] In an exemplary aspect, a full length MYCT1 polypeptide human isoform 1 comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 145 MRTQVYEGLCKNYFSLAVLQRDRIKLLFFDILVFLSVFLLFLLFLVDIMANNTTSLGSPW PENFWEDLIMSFTVSMAIGLVLGGFIWAVFICLSRRRRASAPISQWSSSRRSRSSYTHG LNRTGFYRHSGCERRSNLSLASLTFQRQASLEQANSFPRKSSFRASTFHPFLQCPPLP VETESQLVTLPSSNISPTISTSHSLSRPDYWSSNSLRVGLSTPPPPAYESIIKAFPDS.

[0028] In an exemplary aspect, a full length MYCT1 mRNA transcript, which is 3030 base pairs in length includes the NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_025107.3. Additional reference MYCT1 mRNAs include but are not limited to NM_001371624.1 NM_001371625.1 NM_001371626.1 NM_025107.3. In an exemplary aspect, regulatory elements which modulate the expression of MYCT1 include those described herein and those disclosed in Gene Card ID: GC06P152697.

[0029] The “percent identity” of two amino acid sequences can be determined using the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-68, 1990, modified as in Karlin and Altschul Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-77, 1993. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10, 1990. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score=50, wordlength=3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the protein molecules of interest. Where gaps exist between two sequences, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25(17):3389-3402, 1997. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used.

[0030] As used herein "nucleic acid”, "nucleic acid molecule”, and "polynucleotide” are used interchangeably herein. The terms “nucleic acid encoding . . .”, or “nucleic acid molecule encoding . . . ”, should be understood as referring to the sequence of nucleotides which encodes a polypeptide.

[0031 ] A polynucleotide described herein may comprise one or more nucleic acids each encoding a polypeptide, all operably linked to (i.e., in a functional relationship with) one or more regulatory sequences, such as a promoter. Such a polynucleotide may alternatively be referred to herein as a "nucleic acid construct” or "construct”. [0032] As used herein “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues.

[0033] Each amino acid sequence described herein by virtue of its identity or similarity percentage with a given amino acid sequence respectively has in a further preferred aspect an identity or a similarity of at least 60%, at least 61 %, at least 62%, at least 63%, at least 64%, at least 65%, at least 66%, at least 67%, at least 68%, at least 69%, at least 70%, at least 71 %, at least 72%, at least 73%, at least 74%, at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81 %, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91 %, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% with the given nucleotide or amino acid sequence, respectively. The terms “homology”, “sequence identity” and the like are used interchangeably herein. Sequence identity is described herein as a relationship between two or more amino acid (polypeptide or protein) sequences or two or more nucleic acid (polynucleotide) sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. In a preferred aspect, sequence identity is calculated based on the full length (in amino acids or nucleotides) of two given SEQ ID NOS or based on a portion thereof. A portion of a full-length sequence may be referred to as a fragment, and preferably means at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of the length (in amino acids or nucleotides) of a reference sequence. "Identity" also refers to the degree of sequence relatedness between two amino acid sequences, or between two nucleic acid sequences, as the case may be, as determined by the match between strings of such sequences. The degree of sequence identity between two sequences can be determined, for example, by comparing the two sequences using computer programs commonly employed for this purpose, such as global or local alignment algorithms. Non-limiting examples include BLASTp, BLASTn, Clustal W, MAFFT, Clustal Omega, AlignMe, Praline, GAP, BESTFIT, or another suitable method or algorithm. A Needleman and Wunsch global alignment algorithm can be used to align two sequences over their entire length or part thereof (part thereof may mean at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% of the length of this sequence), maximizing the number of matches and minimizes the number of gaps. Default settings can be used and preferred program is Needle for pairwise alignment (in an aspect, EMBOSS Needle 6.6.0.0, gap open penalty 10, gap extent penalty: 0.5, end gap penalty: false, end gap open penalty: 10 , end gap extent penalty: 0.5 is used) and MAFFT for multiple sequence alignment ( in an aspect, MAFFT v7Default value is: BLOSUM62 [bl62], Gap Open: 1.53, Gap extension: 0.123, Order: aligned , Tree rebuilding number: 2, Guide tree output: ON [true], Max iterate: 2 , Perform FFTS: none is used).

[0034] "Similarity" between two amino acid sequences is determined, for example, by comparing the amino acid sequence and its conserved amino acid substitutes of one polypeptide to the sequence of a second polypeptide. Similar algorithms used for determination of sequence identity may be used for determination of sequence similarity. Optionally, in determining the degree of amino acid similarity, the skilled person may also take into account so-called conservative amino acid substitutions. As used herein, “conservative” amino acid substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains. Examples of classes of amino acid residues for conservative substitutions are given in the Tables below:

[0045] As used herein “immune checkpoint inhibitor” or “ICI” is a drug that blocks immune checkpoints. These checkpoints are a normal part of the immune system and keep immune responses from being too strong. By blocking them, these drugs allow immune cells to respond more strongly for e.g. cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors work by preventing cancer cells from turning T-cells (white blood cells that detect infections and abnormalities) off. Non-limiting examples of immune checkpoint inhibitors include inhibitors of PD-1 , PD-L1 , TIM-3, LAG- 3, CTLA-4, and CSF- 1 R and any combination thereof.

[0046] As used herein “angiogenesis” is the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature. Angiogenesis can be further defined herein as involving: (i) activation of endothelial cells; (ii) increased vascular permeability; (iii) subsequent dissolution of the basement membrane and extravasation of plasma components leading to formation of a provisional fibrin gel extracellular matrix; (iv) proliferation and mobilization of endothelial cells; (v) reorganization of mobilized endothelial cells to form functional capillaries; (vi) capillary loop formation; (vi) deposition of basement membrane and recruitment of perivascular cells to newly formed vessels, or any combination thereof. Normal angiogenesis is active during tissue growth from embryonic development through maturity and then enters a period of relative quiescence during adulthood. Normal angiogenesis is also activated during wound healing, and at certain stages of the female reproductive cycle. Inappropriate or pathological angiogenesis has been associated with several disease states including various retinopathies, ischemic disease, atherosclerosis, chronic inflammatory disorders, and cancer. Pathological angiogenesis may be formation or neogenesis of blood vessels that are not in a physiologically normal state. Such blood vessels, being immature and diapedetic, may become blood vessels where the blood may not be perfused. Also, the pathological angiogenesis may be an angiogenesis or neovascularization in a manner different from a physiologically normal state. For example, the term may refer to formation of new blood vessels by receiving stimulus such as inflammation.

[0047] As used herein “disease or disorder related to angiogenesis” relates to any disease or disorder which generates the above-mentioned “pathological angiogenesis or neovascularization”, or causes an individual to malfunction due to “pathological angiogenesis or neovascularization”.

The amount may be an absolute amount or a relative amount.

[0054] As used herein "combination therapy" refers to the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to treat a therapeutic condition or disorder described in the present disclosure. Such administration encompasses co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each active ingredient. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic agent in a sequential manner. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination in treating the conditions or disorders described herein.

[0055] As used herein "therapeutically effective" or “effective” is intended to qualify the amount of active ingredients used in the treatment of a disease or disorder or on the effecting of a clinical endpoint. An effective amount can be an amount which achieve an intended purpose. For example, an effective amount of antibody may be an amount that decreases tumor volume (e.g., shrinks or eliminates a tumor or reduces the number of circulating cancer cells).

[00131] In certain aspects, the expression and/or production of the antibodies in the host cell can be promoted by expressing a leader peptide ahead of the variable region of the heavy or light chain of the antibody. In some embodiments, a leader peptide can be optimized for expression in a certain host cell (e.g., E. coli).

[00132] In some aspects, genetically engineered antibodies such as singlechain antibodies can be produced via, e.g., conventional recombinant technology or any methods known in the art. In some aspects, DNA encoding a monoclonal antibodies specific to a target antigen can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the monoclonal antibodies). Once isolated, the DNA can be placed into one or more expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as E. coli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The DNA can then be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences, or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. In some aspects, genetically engineered antibodies, such as chimeric or hybrid antibodies; can be prepared that have the binding specificity of a target antigen.

[00133] In some aspects, a single-chain antibody herein can be prepared via recombinant technology by linking a nucleotide sequence coding for a heavy chain variable region and a nucleotide sequence coding for a light chain variable region. In some aspects, a linker may be incorporated between the two variable regions. In some embodiments, techniques described for the_production of single chain antibodies can be adapted to produce a phage or yeast scFv library and scFv clones specific to the MYCT1 can be identified from the library following routine procedures. In some embodiments, positive clones can be subjected to further screening to identify those that bind to the specific epitopes on MYCT 1 . [00134] In some aspects, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) having nucleic acids encoding any of the antibodies herein can be introduced into suitable host cells for producing the antibodies. In some aspects, host cells can be cultured under suitable conditions for expression of the antibody or any polypeptide chain thereof. In some aspects, antibodies or polypeptide chains thereof can be recovered by the cultured cells (e.g., from the cells or the culture supernatant) via a conventional method, e.g., affinity purification. In some aspects, polypeptide chains of the antibody herein can be incubated under suitable conditions for a suitable period of time allowing for production of the antibody.

[00135] In some aspects, methods for preparing an antibody described herein can include a recombinant expression vector that encodes both the heavy chain and the light chain of an antibody that binds to MYCT1 , as also described herein. In some aspects, a recombinant expression vector can be introduced into a suitable host cell (e.g., a dhfr-CHO cell) by a conventional method, e.g., calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. In some aspects, positive transformant host cells can be selected and cultured under suitable conditions allowing for the expression of the two polypeptide chains that form the antibody, which can be recovered from the cells or from the culture medium. In some aspects, the two chains recovered from the host cells can be incubated under suitable conditions allowing for the formation of the antibody.

[00136] In certain aspects, two recombinant expression vectors can be provided, one encoding the heavy chain of a disclosed antibody and the other encoding the light chain of the disclosed antibody. In some aspects, both of the two recombinant expression vectors can be introduced into a suitable host cell (e.g., dhfr-CHO cell) by a conventional method, e.g., calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. In some aspects, each of the expression vectors can be introduced into a suitable host cell. In some aspects, positive transformants can be selected and cultured under suitable conditions allowing for the expression of the polypeptide chains of the antibody. In some aspects, when the two expression vectors are introduced into the same host cells, the antibody produced therein can be recovered from the host cells or from the culture medium. In some aspects, the polypeptide chains can be recovered from the host cells or from the culture medium and then incubated under suitable conditions allowing for formation of the antibody. In some aspects, when the two expression vectors are introduced into different host cells, each of them can be recovered from the corresponding host cells or from the corresponding culture media. In some embodiments, two polypeptide chains can then be incubated under suitable conditions for formation of the antibody.

[00137] In certain aspects, standard molecular biology techniques can be used to prepare the recombinant expression vector, transfect the host cells, select for transformants, culture the host cells, and recover the antibodies from the culture medium. In some embodiments, some antibodies can be isolated by affinity chromatography with a Protein A or Protein G coupled matrix.

[00138] In additional aspects, antibodies herein can be characterized by identifying an epitope or more than one epitope to which the antigen binds, or “epitope mapping.” There are many methods known in the art for mapping and characterizing the location of epitopes on proteins, including, but not limited to, solving the crystal structure of an antibody-antigen complex, competition assays, gene fragment expression assays, and synthetic peptide-based assays. In some embodiments, epitope mapping can be used to determine the sequence, to which an antibody binds.

Chimeric antigen receptor

[00139] In some aspects, the present disclosure encompasses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immune effector cell (CAR-immune effector cell) comprising an antigen binding domain which comprises antibody, or fragments thereof, that specifically binds to MYCT1 , disclosed herein. In one aspect, CAR-immune effector cell comprising an antigen binding domain comprising antibody, or fragments thereof that specifically binds to MYCT1 , comprises an amino acid or polynucleotide sequence listed in Table 7.

[00140] The hinge domain is a structure between the antigen recognition domain (e.g., antibody that binds MYCT1 ) and the cell plasma membrane; these sequences are generally derived from IgG subclasses (such as lgG1 and lgG4), IgD and CD8 domains, of which lgG1 has been the most extensively used for CAR construction. Currently, studies of the hinge domain mainly focus on the following four aspects: 1) reducing binding affinity to the Fey receptor, thereby eliminating off-target activation; 2) enhancing the single-chain variable fragment (scFv) flexibility, thereby relieving the spatial constraints between tumor antigens and CARs, and in turn promoting synapse formation between the CAR-immune effector cells and target cells;

3) reducing the distance between an scFv and the target epitope; and 4) facilitating the detection of CAR expression using anti-Fc reagents.

[00141] In one aspect, the hinge domain includes a hinge domain of a human protein selected from CD28, 4-1 BB (CD137), OX-40 (CD134), CD3 , T cell receptor a or [3 chain, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD8a, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, ICOS, CD154, functional derivatives and/or combinations thereof.

[00142] Typically, the extracellular domain, i.e. an antigen recognition domain (e.g., antibody that binds MYCT1 ) or target element is linked to the intracellular domain, i.e., the co-stimulatory and signaling domain(s) of the chimeric antigen receptor by a transmembrane domain. A transmembrane domain traverses the cell membrane, anchors the CAR to the immune effector cell surface, and connects the extracellular domain to the intracellular domain, thus impacting expression of the CAR on the immune effector cell surface.

[00143] The transmembrane domain includes a hydrophobic polypeptide that spans the cellular membrane. In particular, the transmembrane domain spans from one side of a cell membrane (extracellular) through to the other side of the cell membrane (intracellular or cytoplasmic).

[00144] The transmembrane domain may be in the form of an alpha helix or a beta barrel, or combinations thereof. The transmembrane domain may include a polytopic protein, which has many transmembrane segments, each alpha-helical, beta sheets, or combinations thereof.

[00145] In one aspect, the transmembrane domain that is naturally associated with one of the domains in the CAR is used. In another aspect, the transmembrane domain is selected or modified by amino acid substitution to avoid binding of such domains to the transmembrane domains of the same or different surface membrane proteins to minimize interactions with other members of the receptor complex. [00146] For example, the transmembrane domain is selected from a transmembrane domain of a T-cell receptor a or |3 chain, a CD3 chain, CD28, CD3s, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD68, OX-40 (CD134), 4-1 BB (CD137), ICOS, CD41 , CD154, functional derivatives and/or combinations thereof.

[00147] A chimeric antigen receptor of the present disclosure may comprise one or more costimulatory domain and/or one or more spacers. A costimulatory domain is derived from costimulatory proteins that enhance cytokine production, proliferation, cytotoxicity, and/or persistence in vivo.

[00148] In one aspect, the co-stimulatory domain is selected from OX-40 (CD134), CD27, CD28, CD30, CD40, PD-1 , CD2, CD7, CD258, Natural killer Group 2 member C (NKG2C), Natural killer Group 2 member D (NKG2D), B7-H3, a ligand that binds to at least one of CD83, ICAM-1 , LFA-1 (CD1 la/CD18), ICOS, and 4-1 BB (CD137), CDS, ICAM-1 , LFA-1 (CDIa/CD18), CD40, CD27, active fragments thereof, functional derivatives thereof, and combinations thereof.

[00149] A chimeric antigen receptor of the present disclosure also comprises a signaling domain that provides an intracellular signal to the immune effector cell upon antigen binding to the antigen recognition domain. The signaling domain of a chimeric antigen receptor of the present disclosure is responsible for activation of at least one of the effector functions of the immune effector cell in which the chimeric receptor is expressed. The term "effector function" refers to a specialized function of a differentiated cell. An effector function of an immune cell, for example, may be cytolytic activity or helper activity including the secretion of cytokines. An effector function in a naive, memory, or memory-type immune cell may also include antigen-dependent proliferation. Thus, the term "intracellular domain" refers to the intracellular portion of a CAR that transduces the effector function signal upon binding of an antigen to the extracellular domain and directs the immune cell to perform a specialized function. Non-limiting examples of suitable signaling domains include the zeta chain of the immune-cell receptor or any of its homologs (e.g., eta, delta, gamma, or epsilon), MB-1 chain, 829, FcRIII, FcRI, and combinations of signaling molecules, such as CD3^ and CD28, CD27, 4-1 BB (CD137), DNAX-activating protein 10 (DAP10), OX-40 (CD134), and combinations thereof, as well as other similar molecules and fragments. Signaling domains of other activating proteins may be used, such as FcyRIII and Fc€RI. While usually the entire signaling domain will be employed, in many cases it will not be necessary to use the entire intracellular polypeptide. To that extent, a truncated portion of the signaling domain may be used as long as it still transduces the effector function signal. The term intracellular domain is also meant to include any truncated portion of the intracellular domain sufficient to transduce the effector function signal. Alternatively, or in addition, CAR-immune effector cells encompassed by the present disclosure may further comprise one or more suicide genes. As used herein, "suicide gene" refers to a nucleic acid sequence introduced to a CAR-immune effector cell by standard methods known in the art that, when activated, results in the death of the CAR-immune effector cell. Suicide genes may facilitate effective tracking and elimination of the CAR-immune effector cells in vivo if required. Facilitated killing by activating the suicide gene may occur by methods known in the art. Suitable suicide gene therapy systems known in the art include, but are not limited to, various the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk)/ganciclovir (GCV) suicide gene therapy systems or inducible caspase 9 protein. In an exemplary embodiment, a suicide gene is a CD34/thymidine kinase chimeric suicide gene.

[00150] Methods for CAR design, delivery and expression in immune cells, and the manufacturing of clinical-grade CAR-immune effector cell populations are known in the art. See, for example, Lee et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 2012, 18(10): 2780-90, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. For example, the engineered CARs may be introduced into immune effector cells using retroviruses, which efficiently and stably integrate a nucleic acid sequence encoding the chimeric antigen receptor into the target cell genome. An exemplary method for the viral vector production is described in the Methods to the Examples. Other methods known in the art include, but are not limited to, lentiviral transduction, transposon-based systems, direct RNA transfection, and CRISPR/Cas systems (e.g., type I, type II, or type III systems using a suitable Cas protein such Cas3, Cas4, Cas5, Cas5e (or CasD), Cas6, Cas6e, Cas6f, Cas7, Cas8a1 , Cas8a2, Cas8b, Cas8c, Cas9, Casi o, Casl Od, CasF, CasG, CasH, Csy1 , Csy2, Csy3, Cse1 (or CasA), Cse2 (or CasB), Cse3 (or CasE), Cse4 (or CasC), Csc1 , Csc2, Csa5, Csn2, Csm2, Csm3, Csm4, Csm5, Csm6, Cmr1 , Cmr3, Cmr4, Cmr5, Cmr6, Csb1 , Csb2, Csb3,Csx17, Csx14, Csx10, Csx16, CsaX, Csx3, Csz1 , Csx15, Csf1 , Csf2, Csf3, Csf4, and Cu1966, etc.).

[00151] In some aspects, an immune effector cell is selected from the group consisting of a T cell, a Natural Killer (NK) cell, a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), and a regulatory T cell.

[00152] In some aspects, the immune effector cells comprise any leukocyte involved in defending the body against infectious disease and foreign materials. For example, the immune effector cells can comprise lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, or any combinations thereof. In some aspects, the immune effector cells comprise T lymphocytes.

[00153] As disclosed herein, T cells can be T cell of any subset, non-limiting examples can include T helper cells (TH cells), Cytotoxic T cells (TC cells, or CTLs), Memory T cells, Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), or Natural killer T (NKT) cells.

[00154] T helper cells (TH cells) assist other white blood cells in immunologic processes, including maturation of B cells into plasma cells and memory B cells, and activation of cytotoxic T cells and macrophages. These cells are also known as CD4+ T cells because they express the CD4 glycoprotein on their surface. Helper T cells become activated when they are presented with peptide antigens by MHC class II molecules, which are expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Once activated, they divide rapidly and secrete small proteins called cytokines that regulate or assist in the active immune response. These cells can differentiate into one of several subtypes, including TH1 , TH2, TH3, TH17, TH9, or TFH, which secrete different cytokines to facilitate a different type of immune response.

[00155] Cytotoxic T cells (TC cells, or CTLs) destroy virally infected cells and tumor cells, and are also implicated in transplant rejection. These cells are also known as CD8+ T cells since they express the CD8 glycoprotein at their surface. These cells recognize their targets by binding to antigen associated with MHC class I molecules, which are present on the surface of all nucleated cells. Through IL-10, adenosine and other molecules secreted by regulatory T cells, the CD8+ cells can be inactivated to an anergic state, which prevents autoimmune diseases.

[00156] Memory T cells are a subset of antigen-specific T cells that persist long-term after an infection has resolved. They quickly expand to large numbers of effector T cells upon re-exposure to their cognate antigen, thus providing the immune system with “memory” against past infections. Memory cells may be either CD4+ or CD8+. Memory T cells typically express the cell surface protein CD45RO.

[00157] Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), formerly known as suppressor T cells, are crucial for the maintenance of immunological tolerance. Their major role is to shut down T cell-mediated immunity toward the end of an immune reaction and to suppress auto-reactive T cells that escaped the process of negative selection in the thymus. Two major classes of CD4+ Treg cells have been described — naturally occurring Treg cells and adaptive Treg cells.

[00158] Natural killer T (NKT) cells, not to be confused with natural killer (NK) cells) bridge the adaptive immune system with the innate immune system. Unlike conventional T cells that recognize peptide antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, NKT cells recognize glycolipid antigen presented by an MHC like I, CD1 d. In some aspects, NKT cells are invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. iNKT cells recognize CD1 d and are restricted by their T-cell Receptor (TCR) which in humans is Va24Ja18 and typically paired with V|311 . iNKT cells, further reduce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

[00159] In some aspects, the T cells comprise a mixture of CD4+ cells. In other aspects, the T cells are enriched for one or more subsets based on cell surface expression. For example, in some cases, the T comprise are cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes. In some embodiments, the T cells comprise y5 T cells, which possess a distinct T-cell receptor (TCR) having one y chain and one 5 chain instead of a and [3 chains. [00160] Natural-killer (NK) cells are CD56+CD3- large granular lymphocytes that can kill virally infected and transformed cells, and constitute a critical cellular subset of the innate immune system. Unlike cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes, NK cells launch cytotoxicity against tumor cells without the requirement for prior sensitization, and can also eradicate MHC-l-negative cells.

[00161] In some aspects, immune effector cells can be obtained from the subject to be treated (i.e. are autologous) and can be administered after genetic modification to express CAR with the disclosed anti-MYCT1 antigen recognition domain (e.g., anti-MYCT1 antibodies, or fragments thereof, disclosed herein), as adoptive transfer. In such aspects, adoptive transfer comprises procuring subject’s immune effector cells, followed by genetically modifying the cells to express the disclosed CARs with anti-MYCT1 antigen recognition domain, and infusing the modified cells back into the subject. In some aspects, immune effector cell lines or donor effector cells (allogeneic) are used. The immune effector cells for allogeneic therapy may be collected from a single subject or multiple subjects. Immune effector cells can be obtained from a number of sources, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells, bone marrow, lymph node tissue, cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from a site of infection, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors. Immune effector cells can be obtained from blood collected from a subject using any number of techniques known to the skilled artisan, such as Ficoll™ separation. For example, cells from the circulating blood of an individual may be obtained by apheresis. In some aspects, immune effector cells can be isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes by lysing the red blood cells and depleting the monocytes, for example, by centrifugation through a PERCOLL™ gradient or by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. A specific subpopulation of immune effector cells can be further isolated by positive or negative selection techniques. For example, immune effector cells can be isolated using a combination of antibodies directed to surface markers unique to the positively selected cells, e.g., by incubation with antibody- conjugated beads for a time period sufficient for positive selection of the desired immune effector cells. Alternatively, enrichment of immune effector cells population can be accomplished by negative selection using a combination of antibodies directed to surface markers unique to the negatively selected cells.

[00162] In some aspects, the expression of nucleic acids encoding CARs can be achieved by operably linking a nucleic acid encoding the CAR polypeptide comprising the disclosed anti-MYCT1 antigen recognition domain, to a promoter, and incorporating the construct into an expression vector. Typical cloning vectors contain transcription and translation terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulation of the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence. In some aspects, immune effector cells are further comprises a modification of the endogenous T-cell Receptor Alpha Chain (TRAC) such that endogenous T cell receptor mediated signaling is blocked in the CAR-T cell.

[00163] In some aspects, the CAR comprising the disclosed anti-MYCT1 antigen recognition domain, can be cloned into a number of types of vectors. For example, the CAR comprising the disclosed anti-MYCT1 antigen recognition domain can be cloned into a vector including, but not limited to a plasmid, a phagemid, a phage derivative, an animal virus, and a cosmid. In some aspects, non-limiting examples of vectors include expression vectors, replication vectors, probe generation vectors, and sequencing vectors.

[00164] A number of viral based systems have been developed for gene transfer into mammalian cells. For example, the CAR comprising the disclosed anti- MYCT1 antigen recognition domain can be inserted into a vector and packaged in retroviral particles using techniques known in the art. The recombinant virus can then be isolated and delivered to cells of the subject either in vivo or ex vivo.

[00229] As noted above, the agents or compositions described herein can also be used in combination with other therapeutic agents, as described further below. Thus, in addition to the therapies described herein, one may also provide to the subject other therapies known to be efficacious for treatment of the disease, disorder, or condition. In various examples, a method further comprises administering to the patient an additional cancer treatment. In some examples, the additional cancer treatment is chosen from the group comprising surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, toxin therapy, immunotherapy, cryotherapy, gene therapy, and combinations thereof. Examples of anti-angiogenic therapeutic targets useful in accordance with the disclosure include EGF, VEGF, FGF, and matrix remodeling proteins.

As used herein “genotoxic therapy” refers to a treat of a tumor or cancer which utilizes the destructive properties of the treatment to induce DNA damage into tumor or cancer cells. The treatment is traditionally part of standardized regime. Any damage done to a tumor cancer is passed on to descendent cancer cells as proliferation continues. If this damage is severe enough, it will induce cells to undergo apoptosis.

[00232] Treatment in accord with the methods described herein can be performed prior to, concurrent with, or after conventional treatment modalities for a cancer or tumor.

[00233] Dosages of an additional drug or therapeutically active agent can vary between wide limits, depending upon the disease or disorder to be treated, the age and condition of the subject to be treated. In an aspect where the composition further comprising at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent is contacted with a sample, the concentration of the at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be from about 0.01 pM to about 10 pM. Alternatively, the concentration of the at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be from about 0.01 pM to about 5 pM. For example, the concentration of the at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be about 0.01 , about 0.05, about 0.1 , about 0.2, about 0.3, about 0.4, about 0.5, about 0.6, about 0.7, about 0.8, about 0.9, about 1 , about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5, about 6, about 7, about 8, about 9, or about 10 pM. Additionally, the concentration of the at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent be greater than 10 pM. For example, the concentration of the at least one additional agent may be about 10, about 15, about 20, about 25, about 30, about 35, about 40, about 45, about 50, about 55, about 60, about 65, about 70, about 75, about 80, about 85, about 90, about 95, or about 100 pM.

[00234] In an aspect where the composition further comprising at least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent administered to a subject, the dose of the additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg. For example, the dose of the least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be about 0.1 mg/kg, about 0.5 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg, about 5 mg/kg, about 10 mg/kg, about 15 mg/kg, about 20 mg/kg, or about 25 mg/kg. Alternatively, the dose of the least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be about 25 mg/kg, about 50 mg/kg, about 75 mg/kg, about 100 mg/kg, about 125 mg/kg, about 150 mg/kg, about 175 mg/kg, about 200 mg/kg, about 225 mg/kg, or about 250 mg/kg. Additionally, the dose of the least one additional drug or therapeutically active agent may be about 300 mg/kg, about 325 mg/kg, about 350 mg/kg, about 375 mg/kg, about 400 mg/kg, about 425 mg/kg, about 450 mg/kg, about 475 mg/kg, or about 500 mg/kg.

[00235] Generally, a safe and effective amount of a composition is administered, for example, that amount that would cause the desired therapeutic effect in a subject while minimizing undesired side effects. In various aspects, an effective amount of a composition described herein can substantially reduce the growth or spread of cancer in a subject. In some aspects, an effective amount is an amount capable of treating a cancer or tumor. In some aspects, an effective amount is an amount capable of treating one or more symptoms associated with a cancer or tumor.

[00236] The amount of a composition described herein that can be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the unit content of agent contained in an individual dose of each dosage form need not in itself constitute a therapeutically effective amount, as the necessary therapeutically effective amount could be reached by administration of a number of individual doses.

[00237] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of compositions described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50, (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index that can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50, where larger therapeutic indices are generally understood in the art to be optimal.

[00238] The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular subject will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the composition employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts (see e.g., Koda-Kimble et al. (2004) Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN 0781748453; Winter (2003) Basic Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 4th ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN 0781741475; Sharqel (2004) Ap-plied Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics, McGraw-Hill/Appleton & Lange, ISBN 0071375503). For example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of the composition at levels lower than those required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration. Consequently, single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure will be decided by an attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment.

[00239] Administration of a composition as disclosed herein can occur as a single event or over a time course of treatment. For example, a composition can be administered daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. For treatment of acute conditions, the time course of treatment will usually be at least several days. Certain conditions could extend treatment from several days to several weeks. For example, treatment could extend over one week, two weeks, or three weeks. For more chronic conditions, treatment could extend from several weeks to several months or even a year or more.

[00240] Where there is more than one administration in the present methods, the administrations can be spaced by time intervals of one minute, two minutes, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more minutes, by intervals of about one hour, two hours, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 , 22, 23, 24 hours, and so on. In the context of hours, the term "about" means plus or minus any time interval within 30 minutes. The administrations can also be spaced by time intervals of one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, seven days, eight days, nine days, ten days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days, 15 days, 16 days, 17 days, 18 days, 19 days, 20 days, 21 days, and combinations thereof. The disclosure is not limited to dosing intervals that are spaced equally in time, but encompass doses at non-equal intervals, such as a priming schedule consisting of administration at 1 day, 4 days, 7 days, and 25 days, just to provide a non-limiting example.

[00241] A dosing schedule of, for example, once/week, twice/week, three times/week, four times/week, five times/week, six times/week, seven times/week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, once every four weeks, once every five weeks, and the like, is available for the disclosure. The dosing schedules encompass dosing for a total period of time, for example, one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, five weeks, six weeks, two months, three months, four months, five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months, eleven months, and twelve months. [00242] Provided are cycles of the above dosing schedules. The cycle can be repeated about, e.g., every seven days; every 14 days; every 21 days; every 28 days; every 35 days; 42 days; every 49 days; every 56 days; every 63 days; every 70 days; and the like. An interval of non-dosing can occur between a cycle, where the interval can be about, e.g., seven days; 14 days; 21 days; 28 days; 35 days; 42 days; 49 days; 56 days; 63 days; 70 days; and the like. In this context, the term "about" means plus or minus one day, plus or minus two days, plus or minus three days, plus or minus four days, plus or minus five days, plus or minus six days, or plus or minus seven days.

In some aspects, the effective amount of an anti-MYCT1 antibody can be an amount effective to substantially block or inhibit MYCT1 expression and/or activity endothelial cells (ECs). In some aspects, blocking MYCT1 in endothelial cells promotes an immunostimulatory microenvironment by enhancing CTLs infiltration and preventing CTLs apoptosis; contributes to an immunostimulatory microenvironment; leads to an anti-tumor microenvironment; and/or promotes endothelial regulation of tumor immunity. In some aspects, the effective amount of an anti-MYCT1 antibody can be an amount effective to reduce angiogenesis.

In some aspects, after administration of an anti-MYCT1 antibody of the disclosure the subject has improved antitumor drug delivery and enhanced anti-tumor immunity. In some aspects, the subject has high endothelial venule formation and an antitumor immune environment, leading to a restricted tumor progression.

[00266] In some further aspects, the effective amount of an anti-MYCT1 antibody can be an amount effective to enhance robust CTL infiltration.

In some aspects, combined vascular and immune control provides synergistic anti-tumor activity.

[00269] In another aspect, the disclosure provides a composition as disclosed herein for use in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo.

[00270] Thus, in some aspects, the methods of the present disclosure are useful for reducing tumor or cancer progression or prolonging the survival of subject having a cancer or tumor. The present disclosure provides that combined vascular and immune control provide a synergistic anti-tumor activity. For example, targeting MYCT1 using an anti-MYCT1 antibody of the disclosure improves the response to anti-PD1 therapy in treatment-responsive and -refractory tumors and combined MYCT1 and VEGF targeting with anti-PD1 treatment produced a superior tumor control, suggesting synergy between MYCT1 and VEGF pathways.

[00271] In one aspects, this method generally includes the steps of providing a composition as described herein; administering the composition to a subject or cell (e.g. an endothelial cell).

[00272] In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a methods for treating tumors or cancer cells with increased risk of angiogenesis.

[00275] Generally, the methods as described herein comprise administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a composition of the disclosure to a subject. The methods described herein are generally performed on a subject in need thereof.

[00276] The level of MYCT1 can be used as a predictive marker of the angiogenic status of a subject and therefore useful for making treatment decisions for subjects who can benefit from certain therapies (e.g. anti-angiogenics). For example, the level MYCT1 of a candidate subject can be compared with a reference value.

[00277] Therefore, the present disclosure also provides anti-MYCT1 antibodies conjugated to a detectable signal (i.e. a measurable substance, or a substance that generates a measurable signal). Non-limiting examples include various enzymes, prosthetic groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials, bioluminescent materials, radioactive materials, positron emitting metals using various positron emission tomographies, and nonradioactive paramagnetic metal ions. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,741 ,900 for metal ions which can be conjugated to antibodies for use as diagnostics according to the disclosure. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, [3-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase; examples of suitable prosthetic group complexes include streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin; examples of suitable fluorescent materials include umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin; an example of a luminescent material includes luminol; examples of bioluminescent materials include luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin; and examples of suitable radioactive material include 125 l, 131 1, 111 In or "Tc. The signal generated by the agent can be measured, for example, by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET).

[00278] Anti-MYCT1 antibodies conjugated to a detectable signal may be used diagnostically to, for example, monitor the development or progression of a tumor or cancer as part of a clinical testing procedure to, e.g., determine the efficacy of a given treatment and/or prevention regimen. The patient's treatment can be adjusted based on the level of neurodegenerative disease progression.

[00279] In some aspects, a method of assessing disease progression in a subject being treated for a cancer or tumor is provided, the method comprising: (a) administering an anti-MYCT1 antibody disclosed herein that is labeled with an agent that generates a measurable signal as described herein (i.e. “labeled anti-MYCT1 antibody”), wherein the signal is measured in the patient following the administration; (b) administering the labeled anti-MYCT1 or antigen-binding fragment thereof at one or more time intervals following the administration of (a), wherein the signal is measured in the patient following the administration; and (c) assessing disease progression in the patient based on a change in the signal measured in the patient at the one or more time intervals following administration of (a); wherein an increase in the signal indicates progression of the neurodegenerative disease in the patient. In certain aspects, the subject is being treated with the same anti-MYCT1 antibody, but in an unlabeled form. In certain aspects, the subject is being treated with an anti-MYCT1 antibody that competitively inhibits the labeled anti-MYCT1 antibody binding to human ApoE. In certain aspects, the subject is being treated with an anti-MYCT 1 antibody that does not competitively inhibit the labeled anti-MYCT 1 antibody binding to human MYCT 1 . In certain aspects, the subject is being treated with other drugs known in the art.

[00280] In other aspects, a method of assessing disease progression in a subject being treated for a cancer or tumor is provided, the method comprising: (a) administering an anti-MYCT1 antibody disclosed herein that is labeled with an agent that generates a measurable signal as described herein (i.e. “labeled anti-MYCT1 antibody”), wherein the signal is measured in the patient following the administration; (b) assessing the disease state in the subject upon review of a comparison of the signal measured in the subject to the signal measured following administration of the labeled antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to one or more control subjects; wherein an increase in the signal generated in the patient relative to the control subject correlates with an increase in brain amyloid plaques; and (c) treating the patient with a therapy appropriate for the patient's disease state. A “control subject(s),” refers to any normal healthy subject (or a pool of subjects), a subject or subjects with different degrees of disease, or even the actual test subject at an earlier stage of disease.

[00281] A reference value may represent the same level of MYCT1 in a control subject or represent the level MYCT1 in a control population. In some examples, the same level MYCT1 in a control subject or a control population may be determined by the same method as used for determining the level MYCT1 in the candidate subject. In some instances, the control subject or control population may be a subject having cancer or a tumor or a subject population having cancer or a tumor who is responsive to treatment. In other instances, the control subject or control population may be a subject having cancer or a tumor or a subject population having cancer or a tumor who is non-responsive to treatment. Alternatively, the control subject or control population may refer to a healthy subject or healthy subject population. In a preferred aspects, the control subject or control population is of the same species (e.g., a human subject or human subject population) as the candidate subject. As used herein, assessing “responsiveness” or “non-responsiveness” to a therapy refers to the determination of the likelihood of a subject for responding or not responding to the therapeutic agent. For example, a responsive subject will have a therapeutic effect as a result of administration of an agent. In some aspects, a therapeutic effect includes to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological change or disease/disorder. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e. , not worsening) state of disease, a delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), or can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment or a non-responsive subject or population.

[00282] It is to be understood that the methods provided herein do not require that a reference value be measured every time a candidate subject is tested. Rather, in some aspects, it is contemplated that the reference value can be obtained and recorded and that any test level can be compared to such a reference level. The reference level may be a single-cutoff value or a range of values.

[00283] By comparing level of MYCT1 in a candidate subject as disclosed herein with a reference value as also described herein, the subject can be identified as responsive or likely to be responsive or as not responsive or not likely to be responsive to a therapy based on the assessing. [00284] For example, when the reference value represents the level of MYCT1 who are responsive to a therapy, derivation from such a reference value would indicate non-responsiveness to the therapy. In another aspect, when the reference value represents the level of MYCT1 who are responsive to a genotoxic therapy, about the same level of phosphorylation of MYCT1 in a candidate subject would indicate responsiveness to the therapy.

[00285] Alternatively, when the reference value represents the level MYCT 1 who are non-responsive to a therapy, derivation from such a reference value would indicate responsiveness to the therapy. In another aspect, when the reference value represents the level of MYCT1 who are non-responsive to a therapy, about the same level of MYCT1 in a candidate subject would indicate non-responsiveness to the therapy.

[00286] In some instances, derivation means that the level of MYCT1 (e.g., represented by a value) of a candidate subject is elevated or reduced as relative to a reference value, for example, by at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500% or more above or below the reference value.

[00287] Thus, the present disclosure provides a method for assessing responsiveness to a therapy or detecting the angiogenic status of a cancer or tumor in a subject having a cancer or tumor. In one aspect, a method for assessing responsiveness to a therapy or detecting the angiogenic status may comprises (a) providing a biological sample obtained from a subject and measuring, in the cancer cell or tumor cell or endothelial cell of the sample, the level of MYCT 1 ; and (b) determining the subjects responsive-ness to the therapy or angiogenic status when the measured MYCT 1 level deviates from a reference value.

[00288] MYCT1 levels may be used in various mathematical operations to assess responsiveness or angiogenic status. For instance, MYCT1 values can be used in various statistical models (e.g., linear regressions, LME curves, LOESS curves, etc.) in conjunction with other known biomarkers. Selection of measurements and choice of mathematical operations may be optimized to maximize specificity of the method. For instance, diagnostic accuracy may be evaluated by area under the ROC curve and in some aspects, an ROC AUC value of 0.7 or greater is set as a threshold (e.g., 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, etc.).

Materials and Methods

Table 2: Preparation of 120 medium

Hybridoma line culture

[00296] The following reagents were used for preparing media as shown in

Table 3

Table 3: Media for Hybridoma line culture

[00297] The cells were maintained in the media at about 1 x10 5 cells/ml to

1 x10 6 cells/ml.

EC culture

[00298] MCEC and its derivatives: MCEC cells were made from FVB/N mice hearts from mice having MHC haplotype "q." The culture media was prepared using DMEM high Glucose 10% FBS, l Ommol/L Pen-Strep, and l Ommol/L HEPES. Gelatin pre-coating is recommended for this cell line but is not required. Cell doubling time was approximately 30h. The cells were sub-cultured at a passage ratio of approximately 1 :6. Cryopreservation of cells were undertaken in 10% DMSO in FBS at 1 .5 million cells/ml.

[00299] MLEC, MLEC Myctl KO, Myctl KO MLEC overexpressinq human short MYCT1 or long MYCT1, and its derivatives: iMLEC and iMLEC Myctl KO cells were made from WT and Cdh5-cre Myctl f/f C57/B6 mice lungs, respectively. The cells were immortalized by DOX inducible SV40 T with Puromycin and Blasticidin selection (pLV[Tet]-TRE3G>SV40-T(ns):T2A:Puro and pLV[Exp]-Bsd-{mCd144}>Tet3 constructs). Culture media was prepared using DMEM high Glucose 10% FBS, 10mmol/L Pen-Strep, 10mmol/L HEPES, and DOX (40ng/ml). 0.1 % Gelatin (in dH2O) coating (30min at 37C incubator»aspiration»Drying in the TC hood for 30min»ready to use) of the culture vessel is required for optimal growth. The cells take about 3-4 days to completely repopulate the culture vessel after a passage. Sub-culture was done at about 1 :3 splitting ratio. Cryopreservation was performed using 10% DMSO in FBS at 1 .5 million cells/ml. [00300] HUVEC, MYCT1 knock-down HUVEC, MYCT1 knock-down HUVEC overexpressing mouse Myctl: The HUVEC cells were purchased through Fisher (Catalog No.08-774-388). Human TERT lentivirus (vector: LB12_FLAG_TERT_pCDH_MCS_EF1_NEO) was used to immortalize HUVEC cells, followed by G418 selection. Endothelial Cell Growth Medium (Ready-to-use) (Promo cell, Cat: C-22010), a ready-to-use media with about 2% FBS with additional serum to make it up to 10% was used as culture media. 0.1 % Gelatin (in dH2O) coating (30m in at 37 °C incubator»aspiration»Drying in the TC hood for 30 min»ready to use) of the culture vessel was required for optimal growth. The cells take about 4-5 days to repopulate the culture vessel completely after a passage. Passaging was performed at 1 :2 splitting ratio. It was observed that HUVEC cells like to stay close to each other and if the cells are seeded or passaged sparsely, they might not grow at all. Cryopreservation was performed at 10% DMSO in FBS at 1.5 million cells/ml.

[00301] The HUVEC MYCT1 KD cell line was developed by transducing HUVEC cell line with MYCT1 shRNA lentiviral particles followed by puromycin selection. HUVEC MYCT1 KD Myctl overexpressing line was generated by further transducing the iHUVEC MYCT1 KD cell line with Myctl overexpressing lentiviral particles followed by blasticidin selection.

Endothelial Tube Formation Assay

[00302] The endothelial cells were serum starved overnight. The following day, p-Slide Angiogenesis plates (Cat: 81506, ibidi) were coated with Matrigel (Cat: 96992, Corning) (1 Opl/well) and incubated at 37°C for 30-45minutes until the Matrigel is polymerized. The overnight serum-starved endothelial cells were plated on the Matrigel- coated plates as 8,000 cells/well with 50pl culture media on top. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 6-8 hours before taking pictures with a microscope. Angiogenesis analyzer module of ImageJ software (NIH) was used to quantify total tube length, number of loops, and number of branches. Endothelial sprouting assay

[00304] Endothelial growth medium (EGM-2) was prepared and supplemented according to the supplier’s instructions before use.

[00305] Fibroblast growth medium was prepared with DMEM with 10% FBS). The DMEM was supplemented with 10% FBS before use.

[00306] Endothelial cells (YSE/MCEC cells) were grown to about 80% confluency in EGM-2 before starting the assay.

[00307] Fibroblasts (NIH3T3 cells) were grown in fibroblast growth medium to about 80% confluency.

[00308] Microcarrier beads: 1g Cytodex3 microcamers (3x10 A 6 beads) were swollen and hydrated in Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ free PBS 50ml for at least 3 h at room temperature. The supernatant was decanted and the microcarriers were washed for a few minutes in fresh Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ free PBS (30-50 ml). The PBS was discarded and replaced with fresh Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ free PBS (30-50 ml/g and the microcarriers were sterilized by autoclaving (115 °C, 15 min, 15 psi). The pH of all solutions was adjusted to 7.4. When hydrating Cytodex 3, initial surface tension may occasionally prevent wetting and sedimentation of the microcarriers. Should this occur, Tween 80 can be added to the PBS used for the first hydration rinse (2-3 drops Tween 80/100 ml PBS).

[00309] Thrombin solution: Thrombin was dissolved at 50 ll/rnl in DPBS. Aliquots of 0.5 ml each were made. Aliquots can be stored at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

[00310] Aprotinin solution: Aprotinin was dissolved at 4 ll/rnl in ddH2O. The solution was sterile filtered and aliquots of 0.5 ml each were made. Aliquots can be stored at -20 °C.

[00311] The endothelial sprouting assay was performed as using the following procedure.

[00312] Step 0: Preparing cells [4-5 days]

0.1 Bring up different types of YSE/MCEC cells and NIH3T3 cells in 10%FBS M199 1 %P/S and 10%FBS DMEM 1 mM l-glutamine 1 %P/S medium, respectively.

0.2 Switch medium to EGM-2 the day before beading for YSE/MCEC cells (Day 0).

[00313] Step 1 : Prepare NIH3T3 fibroblasts (Day 1) [10 minutes]

1 . Remove and discard the culture media from T75 flask with ~80% confluent NIH3T3 cells, and replace with pre-warmed EGM-2. Incubate overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in a cell culture incubator.

[00314] Step 2: Prepare different endothelial cells (Day 1) [35 minutes]

These processes are to be done separately for all types of YSE/MCEC cells:

2.1 Harvest 80% confluent YSE/MCEC cells from T75 flask by removing the media, rinsing with pre-warmed trypsin-EDTA, adding 3 ml of trypsin-EDTA and incubating at 37 °C for couple of minutes to loosen the cells. Briefly tap the side of the flask to fully detach the cells. Add 12 ml EGM-2, gently pipette the solution up and down, and transfer the cell suspension into a sterile 50 ml conical polypropylene tube.

2.2 Count the cells by transferring 10pl of the cell suspension into a counting chamber or a hemocytometer. Centrifuge the cells at 400g for 5 min. Aspirate and discard the supernatant and resuspend the cells in HBSS at a concentration of 2.5x10 6 /m I. Reserve on ice.

2.3 Take 1 ml of the HBSS-cell suspension to a new 5ml polypropylene tube and add 3ml more HBSS. Centrifuge the cells at 400g for 5 min, aspirate and discard the supernatant (leaving <25pl). As a result, starting cell number is 2.5x10 6

[00315] Step 3 (Optional): Membrane Labeling with PKH26 or PKH67 or CellVue dyes (Day 1) [25 minutes]

These processes are to be done separately for all types of YSE/MCEC cells:

3.1 During the last cell washing in step 2.3, add 250pl of Diluent C (from the PKH kits) to a 5m I polypropylene tube.

3.2 Add 250pl of Diluent C to the washed cell pellet from Step 1 .3 and mix with pipette 3-4 times to obtain a single cell suspension (2x cells).

3.3 Prepare a 2x (4pM) dye solution by adding 1 pl of 1 mM PKH26/67/CellVue dye stock in ethanol (from the PKH kit) to the 250pl Diluent C tube prepared in Step 3.1 and vortex to disperse uniformly.

3.4 Immediately pipette the 2x cell suspension from Step 3.2 into this 2x dye solution and pipette up & down 3-4 times to completely disperse the cells in dye. Total incubation time is 1-2minutes.

3.5 Add 500pl (equal volume) of heat inactivated FBS to stop dye uptake. If complete medium is used instead, use 5ml of 10%FBS medium or as appropriate. Centrifuge the cells at 400g for 5 min. Resuspend the cells in 5ml EGM-2, and transfer to a 15ml tube. Again, centrifuge at 400g for 5 min, resuspend in 5ml EGM-2, and centrifuge at 400g for 5 min. Finally, resuspend in 5m I EGM-2 at a cone, of 5 x 105 cells/ml. [00316] Step 4: Bead coating (Day 1) [4 hours 15 minutes]

For all 24 wells of a 24-well plate:

4.1 Take 10OpI of microcarrier bead suspension (containing 6000 beads approx.) into a 5ml round-bottom polystyrene tube (FACS tube) and add 3 ml EGM-2. Let the beads sediment without shaking the tube (~2-3min). Carefully aspirate the supernatant by pipette, leaving about 0.5 ml EGM-2 in the tube.

4.2 Add 4.8 ml (2.4 x 1 o 6 cells) of the cell suspension prepared in step 3.5 to the beads, close the lid halfway and shake well, but without inverting the tube. This results in -400 cells/bead. Place the bead-cell suspension into the incubator at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Shake the tube every 20 min for 4h, taking care to raise all sedimented beads.

4.3 Transfer the coated beads into two (2) T25 cm 2 flask with additional 7 ml EGM-2 (resultant 6ml/T25). Observe the coated beads under a low magnification microscope. They should have a golf ball-like appearance, with ECs homogenously covering the bead surface. Incubate overnight (10-12h) at 37 °C, 5% CO2.

[00317] Step 5: Embedding cell-coated beads into fibrin gels in a 24- well plate (Day 2) [1 hour 45 minutes]

5.1 Add 35mg fibrinogen to 14ml of DPBS in a 50ml tube to prepare a

2.5 mg/ml fibrinogen solution. A total volume of 12 ml is required per 24-well plate (500pl per well). Incubate at 37 °C for 20 min to dissolve. Filter with 0.45pm syringe filter. Transfer 12ml of this filtered solution to new sterile 50ml polypropylene tube.

5.2 Thaw a 0.5ml aliquot of Thrombin and Aprotinin solution each.

5.3 Add 450pl Aprotinin solution (made as 4U/ml; applicable cone. 0.15U/ml) to 12ml of the fibrinogen solution.

5.4 Transfer the EC-coated beads into a sterile 50 ml polypropylene tube. Rinse the flasks with 5 ml EGM-2 each and transfer to the same tube to recover as many beads as possible. 5.5 Let the beads sediment for about 3 min, then very carefully aspirate and discard the supernatant, leaving ~1ml in the tube to avoid aspirating beads. Resuspend the beads very carefully with pipetting slowly and transfer this ~1 ml suspension to a 1 ,5ml Low binding Eppendorf tube. Let it settle down for ~3 minutes.

5.6 Wash the beads by adding 1 ml of pre-warmed EGM-2. Let the beads sediment again for about 3 min, then very carefully aspirate and discard the supernatant, leaving as little growth medium as possible covering the beads.

5.7 Repeat step 5. Before sedimentation, take 10pl (in duplicate) of this beadcell suspension on a large coverslip, count bead number under microscope, and calculate the average bead number.

5.8 Add 1 ml of the fibrinogen solution to the beads and mix carefully. Transfer this suspension to the rest of the 11 ml fibrinogen solution and mix carefully.

5.9 Using a multi-step pipette, transfer 20pl of thrombin solution (made as 50U/ml; applicable cone. 2U/ml) into the center of each of the 24 wells of the 24- well plate. (Total 480pl). Other studies also reported using 12.5pl (for applicable cone. 0.625U/ml) and 40pl (for applicable cone. 4U/ml)

5.10 Mix the cell-bead-fibrinogen suspension slowly and transfer 500pl of the bead-fibrinogen suspension directly into the thrombin solution in each of the 24 wells of the plate. Mix with the thrombin gently by pipetting 4-5 times. Avoid moving the plate, pipetting fast, and creating bubbles. Change pipette tips for every well.

5.11 Let the gels solidify for about 5 min at room temperature, then keep them at 37°C to avoid damage to the endothelial cells (roughly around 20-25 minutes).

5.12 In the meantime, harvest NIH3T3 cells by removing the media, rinsing with pre-warmed trypsin-EDTA, adding 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA (for a 25 cm 2 flask) and incubating at 37°C for couple of minutes to release the cells. Briefly tap the side of the flask to fully detach the cells. Add 5 ml EGM-2, gently pipette the cell suspension up and down, and transfer it into a sterile 15 ml PP tube. 5.13 Count the cells by transferring 10 pl of the cell suspension into a counting chamber or a hemocytometer. Centrifuge the cells at 400g for 5 min in a centrifuge. Aspirate and discard the supernatant and resuspend the cells in EGM-2 at a concentration of 1x10 A 6 cells per 1 ml.

5.14 After the gels are formed, add 1 ml of EGM-2 dropwise and very slowly to each of the wells.

5.15 Distribute the NIH3T3 cell suspension carefully onto the polymerized fibrin gels by pipetting 20pl (~20,000 cells) per well. Change tips for every well.

5.16 Incubate overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2.

[00318] Step 6: Sprout initiation (TIMING VARIABLE: ~24h-8d)

6. 1 Change growth medium every other day. Carefully aspirate the medium above the fibrin gel, leaving only a small amount of liquid covering the gel. Refill each well with a suitable amount of pre-warmed EGM-2. Incubate at 37 °C, 5% CO2.

6.2 Monitor the progress of sprouting using a bright-field microscope.

6. 3 Examine the sprouting under confocal microscope.

Endothelial Scratch Assay (Wound Closure Assay)

[00319] 50,000 endothelial cells/well of 24-well plate were seeded with

500pl of cell culture media. The plates were incubated at 37°C for ~8 hours. The endothelial cells were serum starved overnight. A scratch was made on the monolayer of the endothelial cells with a 200pl pipette in the morning the next day. The media was replaced with 0.5% serum containing media. Picture was taken with a microscope at Oh. The gap closure was tracked for 24h or until closed with a microscope.

Table 61: Isotype of antibody clones

[00333] The clones were further purified and sequenced to identify the sequences of the variable domains. The sequences of the clones are listed in Table 7. Further, chimeric MYCT1 antibodies using the 2B4 or 11 B6 variable region and human lgG1 constant region can also be generated. Table 7: Sequences of identified clones.

[00334] Clone 2B4F9D9 was further characterized using FACS, and scratch assay. FACS using hybridoma supernatant containing candidate antibody 2B4 in overexpressing (HA-mMOE) murine cardiac endothelial cell (MCEC) is shown in FIG. 6A. Scratch assay show that hybridoma supernatant containing candidate antibody 2B4F9D9 had reduced wound closure (FIG. 6B-FIG. 6B), indicating defective migratory properties in the angiogenic environment.

Example 2: In vitro assays for characterization of identified MYCT1 antibodies

[00335] In vitro angiogenic assays include fibrin gel bead sprouting assay, tube formation assay, and wound healing or scratch assay.

[00336] Sprouting assay was performed using inducible Murine Lung Endothelial Cell (iMLEC) treated with purified antibody clones 11 B6, 2B4F9D3 and IgG as a control, at 32 pg/well for 15 hours. Further and iMLEC Mytd KO cells were treated with IgG was used as a control. As shown in FIG. 7A-7C, sprouts per bead and sprouting length was significantly reduced in iMLEC cells treated with the antibody clones and in iMLEC Mytd KO cells treated with IgG. Similarly, sprouting assay performed in Murine Cardiac Endothelial cell (MCEC) treated with 11 B6 and 2B4F9D3 showed significant reductions in sprouts per bead and sprouting length (FIG. 8A-8C, Table 8A). Sprouting assay conducted in purified antibody clones 3EC12, 8D2C12 and 9E2H5 in MCEC cells for 30 hours, showed significant reductions in sprouts per bead and sprouting length comparable to antibody clone 2B4 (FIG. 9A-9C). Further, inducible human umbilical vein endothelial cells (iHUVEC) treated at increasing concentrations at 20pg/well, 40pg/well, and 80pg/well of 11 B6 or 2B4F9D3 for 24 hours (FIG. 9D, FIG. 9F, Table 8B-8C) and 48 hours (FIG. 9E, FIG. 9G, Table 8D-8E) were observed to have dose dependent reduction in sprouting. This suggested that the disclosed antibody clones had MYCT1 neutralizing activity in human endothelial cells.

FIG. 10A shows representative images of tube formation in iMLEC cells treated with 11 B6 and 2B4F9D3 for 4 hours at 4pg/well. 11 B6 and 2B4F9D3 greatly reduced tube formation in treated cells. Significant reductions in tube formations were also observed in in MCEC cells treated with 2B4F9D3, 3EC12, and 8D2C12 (FIG. 10B-10C, Table 8F). Antibody clone 9E2H5 showed slight but statistically nonsignificant reduction in tube formation (FIG. 10C). Additionally, a dose dependent reduction in tube formation was observed in iHUVEC cells treated with increasing concentrations of 11 B6 or 2B4F9D3 (8pg/well, 16pg/well, and 32pg/well) for 16 hours (FIG. 10D, Table 8F-8H). There were significant reductions in loop and branch number observed in cells treated with 32pg/well of antibodies, indicating that disclosed antibodies have MYCT1 inhibitory activity in human endothelial cells.

[00338] Hybridoma supernatant containing antibody clone were further tested using scratch assay. As shown in FIG. 11A-11B MCEC cells treated with 32 pg/well of hybridoma supernatants of 11 B6 or 2B4F9D3 showed significantly less wound closure, compared IgG treated cells. Similarly, iMLEC cells treated with hybridoma supernatants of 11 B6 or 2B4F9D3 added at 32 pg/well and iMLEC MKO cells showed reduced wound closure (FIG. 11C-11D). Hybridoma supernatants of 3E3C12, 8D2C12, 9E2H5, or 2B4F9D3 added at 50pg/well showed similar reductions in wound closure (FIG. 11E-11F, Table 8I).

[00339] These results show that the treatment with identified antibody clones of MYCT1 reduced angiogenesis.

Example 3: Combined MYCT1 antibody and a-PD1 antibody treatment can inhibit tumor growth in vivo.

[00340] MYCT 1 antibodies were further tested in vivo for cancer therapeutic efficacy, especially in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Two cancer models were used, an anti-PD1 -responsive 1956 sarcoma subcutaneous transplantation tumor model that responds completely to an early-onset scheme of anti- PD1 treatment, but not to late-onset schemes (Gubin et al, Nature. 2014 Nov 27; 515(7528): 577-581 ), and polyoma middle T oncoprotein (PyMT-BO1 ) orthotopic breast tumor which are only marginally sensitive to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (Su et al. Cancer Res. 2016 Jun 15; 76(12): 3484-3495). 956 sarcoma tumor cells were injected subcutaneously to the back of the mice (FIG. 12A-12D). PyMT-BO1 tumor cells were injected orthotopically to the mammary fat pad of the female mice (FIG. 12E-12F). Mice were treated with MYCT1 antibody, anti-PD1 antibody, or a combination of MYCT1 antibody and anti-PD1 antibody. anti-PD1 antibody was administered through i.p injection at 250pg/injection/mouse, and 2B4F9D3 or 11 B6 were through i.p injection at administered with 330pg/injection/mouse. Regression of the tumor burden was measured for each condition. Tumors treated with anti-MYCT1 antibodies and anti-PD1 antibodies show significant growth inhibition and/or regression in both the tumor models (FIG. 12A-12G). Representative raw data on tumor volume measurements are provided in Table 9A-9D. These results suggested that anti-MYCT1 antibody synergistically work with anti-PD1 antibodies to reduce tumor burden and indicated that anti-MYCT1 antibody enhanced anti-tumor immunity.

Table 9D: Tumor volume measurements in mm in 11B6 + Anti-PD1 treated mice Summary

[00341] Multiple MYCT1 antibodies was identified, isolated and sequenced including antibody clones 11 B6, 2B4 (subclones 2B4F9D3, 2B4F9D9), 3E3, 8D2, and 9E2. In vivo characterization revealed that these antibodies can reduce angiogenesis related processes including sprouting, tube formation and wound closing in both mouse and human endothelial cells. In vivo studies using tumor model showed that combinatorial treatment of MYCT1 antibodies with anti-PD1 antibodies can reduce tumor burden in both immune checkpoint inhibitor -responsive and -refractory tumors. These results have substantiated that anti-MYCT1 antibodies reduce angiogenesis in tumor cells, improve anti-tumor immunity, and can synergistically reduce tumor burden in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
