Abstract
B7-H3 (CD276) has emerged as a target for cancer immunotherapy by virtue of consistent expression in many malignancies, relative absence from healthy tissues, and an emerging role as a driver of tumor immune inhibition. Recent studies have reported B7-H3 to be a suitable target for chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy using CARs constructed from established anti-B7-H3 antibodies converted into single-chain Fv format (scFv). We constructed and screened binders in an scFv library to generate a new anti-B7-H3 CAR-T with favorable properties. This allowed access to numerous specificities ready formatted for CAR evaluation. Selected anti-human B7-H3 scFvs were readily cloned into CAR-T and evaluated for anti-tumor reactivity in cytotoxicity, cytokine, and proliferation assays. Two binders with divergent complementarity determining regions were found to show optimal antigen-specific cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. One binder in second-generation CD28-CD3ζ CAR format induced sustained in vitro proliferation on repeat antigen challenge. The lead candidate CAR-T also demonstrated in vivo activity in a resistant neuroblastoma model. An empirical approach to B7-H3 CAR-T discovery through screening of novel scFv sequences in CAR-T format has led to the identification of a new construct with sustained proliferative capacity warranting further evaluation.
