gImmunogenic Cell Death (ICD)-inducing Molecules
Significance: Cancer cell death followed by stimulation of adaptive immune responseInducers of ICD: Classic cytotoxic molecules: e.g., doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, mitoxantrone,
bleomycin, bortezomibPotential antibody approaches to maximize ICD:
• ICD Chemo-inducer + anti-PD-1, CTLA4, PD-L1• ICD Chemo-inducer + anti-CD96• ICD Chemo-inducer + anti-SEMA4D or anti-CSF1• ICD Chemo-inducer + Oncolytic vaccinia virus

Four basic forms of multi-specific antibodies
1. Bivalent, bispecific IgG-like antibodies with heteromeric heavy chains (e.g., Duobody, knobs-into-holes, Triomab, etc):
2. Engineered antibody fragments linked by short peptide linkers which can be made into bivalent, trivalent, or tetravalent formats addressing two to three targets (e.g., BiTE/BiKE, DARTs, TandAbs):
3. Tetravalent multispecific antibodies that are essentially IgGs with other binding domains fused to either the N- or C-termini of either the heavy or light chains (e.g., DVD, Mabtyrin, FynomAb).
4. IgGs to which additional binding sites have been added within the structure (e.g., Genentech two-in-one Abs, F-STAR)

2. Localized delivery• BBB• Lung• Intratumoral antibody delivery• Virus to tumor to produce antibody locally• AAV to brain• Intracellular antibodies• Gene based approach to antibody delivery
3. Big target and antibody data (-omes, repertoires, deep sequencing, etc)• Mining and understanding data from enormous data sets• Turning big data into real antibody/target solutions• Human antibody repertoire mining including surface-ome, antibody epitopes• Computational approaches• TCR mining for novel therapeutic approaches

5. Antibodies for neurological disorders – growing rapidly• Still need to solve the BBB issue; 2-3 % of injected dose/g brain tissue might be the key number• Interest in solving neurobiology problems using antibody approaches is growing• Antibody approaches to tackle Proteinopathies
6. Antibody engineering is becoming more sophisticated• pH/pI engineering to optimize target removal• Targeting individual FcgRs or only complement• Hexamer formation for agonist effects• Glycan analysis and engineering for enhanced effector function• Bispecific antibodies• Novel antibodies including Nanobodies nearing approval and bispecific Probodies• Half-life extension approaches

gBiStro’s Biased Highlights
1. Impressive “big data” approaches to mine human antibody repertoire, targets, TCRs, etc– Jim Crowe and several others
2. pH/pI, and TwoB engineering of Abs to remove high concentration antigens – Kenta Haraya, Taichi Kuramochi
3. 2-3% injected dose/gram – perhaps the magic number for BBB – will this become a standardin the future? - Bill Pardridge, Jasi Atwall
4. Treg depletion intratumorally, but not necessarily systemically and with reagents that perhaps“could” but did not reduce CD8+ T cells – Frederick Arce Vargas and several other presentations
5. Targeting not only cancer cells, but the neovasculature that supports them, appears to increaseefficacy in anti-tumor approach – Mitko Dimitrov
6. NOD201 – pan-integrin targeting and its possibility as a universal “combinator” for solid tumorantibody therapy – Jennifer Cochran
7. Coupling of innate to adaptive responses exemplified by anti-CD47 approach, involving DC uptakeof mitochondrial DNA – Yang-Xin Fu
8. Targeting of TNFR-related checkpoints – Nicholas Wilson, Rony Dahan, Greg Lazar
9. ILC regulatory cells (a new class of repressive cells in tumors?) – Sarah Crome
10. Hexamerization of anti-OX40 agonist – Greg Lazar
