THE OPPORTUNITY
AbCellera
Unlock intracellular tumor targets
immunotherapies are transforming cancer treatment by
moting the immune system to right cancer. T-cat
engagers-a type of immunotherapy-etminste cancer
ces by simultaneously binding tumor targets and the T-cell
acting protein CD3. Because T-cell engagers cannot
socess intracellular targets, their use is limited to targets
expressed on the tumor cell surface.
Toel engages against peptides oisplayed on major
ristocompaticity complexes (MHCS) are proming
approach for unlocking previously inaccessible, high-valce.
intracellular tumor targets,
One such target is metanema associated antigen 4 PMHC
(MAGE-44-0MHC), a tumor-specinc antigen expressed by
many did tumors, but not by most healthy.
THE CHALLENGE
Finding rare antibodies against pMHCS
MAGE-44-MHCs are challenging immunotherapy targets
because (a) proteins within the MAGE-A family are highly
homologoue (MAGE A4 is often mutated in tumor cells
and there is very low expression of MAGEM OMHO on
tumor
Antibodies that bind to MAGE-44-MHC with the specificity
ond affinity needed to minimize the risk of off-target
binding are rare. Those that do bind and have favorable
developably profiles are even more rare, making them
acut to identity using traditional approaches
Furthermore, Toll engager development requires
tumor-binding antibodies that function assispecies,
creating a need for diverse antibodies that can be paired
with CDS-binders and tested for optimal function
THE SOLUTION
Start with diverse panels of
pMHC-binding antibodies.
We used our and body discovery and development engine
to discover and one
MAGE 44
binding antibodies with favorable binding and
developablity profes

LeadMAGE-AS-RHC arbodies will be selected and
paired with our panel of previously described CDS-binding
antibodies using our sispecific engineering platform.
THE OUTCOME
OrthoMa", to streamline the development of
MAGE A4 MHC Telenders.
We identified a panel of antibodies
against MAGE-A4-pMHC with:
