Abstract
Abstract
Background: The CEAxCD3 bispecific antibody (bsAb) NILK-2301 couples CEA (CEACAM5) on cancer cells and CD3 on T-cells inducing T-cell activation (signal 1) and tumor cell killing (TDCC). T-cell activation can be boosted by CEA-targeted CD28-costimulation (NILK-3301; signal 2). NILK-2401, carrying a fully effective IgG1 Fc, induces antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADCP) and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) of tumor cells by co-targeting CEA and the innate immune checkpoint CD47 (“don’t eat me” signal). We present here next generation immunotherapy to overcome limited single class activity in CEA-expressing solid cancers.
Methods: BsAbs were generated using LCB’s fully human κλ body platform. TDCC, ADCP, and ADCC with human PBMC or monocyte-derived macrophages were assessed using CEA+ colorectal (n=3), lung (n=2), and gastric (n=2) cancer lines. Combination activity of NILK-2401 + NILK-2301 (± NILK-3301) was assessed by flow cytometry. In vivo activity was tested in xenograft NOG or NSG/human PMBC-, HIS-, and hSIRPα/hCD47/hCD3/hCD28 transgenic mice. Safety data include binding to other CEACAMs, cytokine release in whole blood, erythrophagocytosis, platelet activation, exclusion of superagonism (NILK-3301), as well as PK- and tolerability in cynomolgus monkeys and Tg32-mice.
Results: NILK-2301 induced dose-dependent killing of all tested cell lines, which was also visualized by live cell imaging. Combination of NILK-2301 (1 nM) + NILK-3301 vs. NILK-2301 alone (10 nM) increased TDCC (3-8-fold), T-cell activation (CD25, CD69, HLA-DR), cytokine secretion (interferon-γ, granzyme B, perforin), and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell proliferation. NILK-2401 blocked CD47-SIRPα interaction and induced ADCP/ADCC-mediated elimination of all cell lines. NILK-2301 + NILK-2401 treatment increased maximum activity (Emax) and reduced necessary dose of the T-cell bsAb to reach Emax. E.g., Emax of 30% killing (NILK-2301 alone) was increased in combination with NILK-2401 at 0.1/1/10 µg/mL to 40%, 80%, and 80%. In vivo, NILK-2301 (10 mg/kg IV, BIW) decreased tumor progression. NILK-2301/-3301 combination induced tumor regression in 8/8 mice. NILK-2401 delayed tumor growth vs. mean of control in 100% (15/15) of mice and prevented establishment of detectable tumors (>50mm3) in 53% (8/15). Results of double and quadruple transgenic mice, including triple bsAb combinations, will be presented at the meeting. No relevant safety signals were detected.
Conclusions: NILK-2301 and NILK-2401 are active as single agents. Addition of NILK-2401 or NILK-3301 to NILK-2301 significantly increases activity, already at 10 -100x lower CEAxCD3 doses. GMP drug substance has been produced for NILK-2301 and NILK-2401. Generation of the clonal cell line for NILK-3301 clinical material production is ongoing.

Abstract
Coxiella burnetii is a small Gram-negative intracellular bacterium and is the causative agent of Q fever, which is a zoonotic disease with a worldwide distribution. Domesticated ruminants are the main reservoir of the disease, but the bacterium is able to infect a wide range of hosts, including humans, arthropods and invertebrates. Virulence studies of Coxiella strains usually require a suitable animal model. However, mammalian models are costly and are associated with many ethical constraints. An alternative infection model using Galleria mellonella has been used to study the virulence of several bacterial as well as fungal pathogens. Moreover, the G. mellonella larvae model has been used to identify virulence genes using phase II C. burnetii strain Nine Mile mutants. In our study we describe its use for the characterization of C. burnetii strains isolated from ruminants.

Abstract
The control of Q fever, a zoonotic disease caused by the Coxiella burnetii bacterium, remains a scientific challenge. Domestic ruminants are considered the main reservoir, shedding C. burnetii essentially through parturition products during abortion or birth. Sheep are particularly frequently associated with human outbreaks, but there are insufficient field data to fully understand disease dynamics and to instigate efficient control measures. A longitudinal follow-up study of a naturally infected sheep flock was performed (i) to investigate relationships between seropositivity and bacterial shedding in the vaginal mucus, (ii) to describe the kinetics of antibodies, including responses to vaccination, (iii) to monitor maternal antibodies in ewe lambs, and (iv) to compare serological results for milk and serum samples. For 8 months, we collected blood samples every 3 weeks from 11 aborting and 26 nonaborting dairy ewes, 20 nonaborting suckler ewes, and 9 ewe lambs. Individual milk samples were also obtained from lactating females. All serum and milk samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), whereas vaginal swabs were tested by quantitative PCR. We found that some dairy females did not seroconvert despite shedding C. burnetii in their vaginal mucus. Overall, antibody levels in adult females were found to remain stable over time, with exceptions during the mating and lambing periods. Maternal antibodies decreased during the first month after birth. Interestingly, antibody levels in milk were correlated with those in serum. This study provides valuable field data that will help improve Q fever surveillance and within-flock management measures.IMPORTANCE Field data are necessary to improve the surveillance, diagnosis, and sanitary management of Q fever in livestock. Here, we provide extensive serological data obtained from serum and milk samples from infected and vaccinated ewes belonging to a naturally infected flock of sheep. We show that antibody levels are stable over time and seropositivity and vaginal shedding are not clearly correlated, whereas antibody levels in milk are strongly correlated with those in serum. Accordingly, we find that antibody levels in bulk tank milk are consistent with the variations observed in the serum of dairy females over time. We report the existence of maternal antibody transmission to ewe lambs and we show that the presence of maternal antibodies at birth does not prevent the development of a serological response to vaccination at the age of 4 months. Finally, we report that adult ewes generally seroconvert after vaccination, including during pregnancy.

Abstract
Q fever is a zoonosis caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium, Coxiella burnetii. Aborting domestic ruminants are the main source of human infection. In January 2003, an abortion episode occurred in a dairy caprine herd where 18/60 (30%) goats experienced reproductive problems: 4/60 (7%) aborted and 14/60 (23%) had stillbirths. Serological screening for abortion-related infectious diseases suggested Q fever. The diagnosis of C. burnetii infection was confirmed with PCR based on the occurrence of C. burnetii shedding into vaginal mucus, faeces and colostrums taken after kidding from the affected animals. The pregnancy following this episode resulted in one abortion and four stillbirths; three of those goats had already experienced reproductive failure during the previous kidding season. The seroprevalence of C. burnetii infection and the bacteria shedding were investigated using both ELISA and PCR assays, respectively, during the course of the initial and subsequent kidding seasons. Serological testing, performed on the whole herd 6 weeks after the abortion episode, showed 48/60 (80%) of ELISA positive goats. PCR assay performed on both vaginal swab and milk samples showed that the bacterium was shed for almost four months after the outbreak. C. burnetii DNA was also amplified from vaginal swab and milk samples taken from goats after the second kidding season. Furthermore, the bacteria were found into 14 vaginal swabs and 12 milk samples taken from infected females at both kidding seasons.

Abstract
Bacterial enterotoxin receptors. Enteric bacterial toxins display a great diversity in their structure, molecular weight and mechanism of action. The interaction of enterotoxins with the intestinal mucosa either leads to a direct effect on the cell membrane or an effect on signal transduction within eukaryotic cells. However, before a toxin can affect a cell, it must after its secretion by a microorganism, recognise and bind to a specific surface molecule, its receptor. Membrane receptors of bacterial enterotoxins have been identified as protein, glycoprotein or glycolipid in nature. The chemical nature of the molecules acting as receptors is crucial and during evolution they have been carefully selected. Some toxins, after their interaction with a receptor molecule, will transduce a signal across the cell membrane while remaining at the cell surface. Other toxins, after this initial binding step with a receptor, will be internalised. Others can form pores leading to leakage of cellular components and cell lysis. Receptors that have been identified often comprise a saccharidic chain that is directly involved in the recognition and binding of the toxin. Today, models explaining toxin-receptor interactions are more complex, including multistep events. This review summarises the knowledge of the interactions between bacterial toxins and membrane receptors present on intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
Escherichia coli strains producing the heat-stable enterotoxin STb cause diarrhoea in pigs, but little is known on the receptor binding step initiating the diarrhoeal process. In the present study, pig jejunal mucosa extracts were tested for the presence of binding component(s) for STb. Jejunal epithelial cells and the mucus layer were analyzed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The separated material was transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane and overlayed with STb. The results indicated that a band migrating with the tracking dye was bound by STb. This band was not stained by Coomassie blue and was thus regarded as non proteinic but rather as a lipidic component. Thus, total lipid extracts were obtained from the epithelial cells and the mucus layer. Compared to SDS-PAGE on 12% gels, a better separation of the low molecular mass components contained in these extracts was obtained using high-density Phastgel. Most of the components were detected following silver staining but not using Coomassie blue. Interestingly, commercially available pure glycolipids could also be visualized, after separation, only following silver staining. In the total lipid extracts, a band migrating in the 2.5-6.5 kDa range was observed. Using a monoclonal antisulfatide antibody, this band was recognized indicating that sulfatide was, in effect, present in the extract. When pure sulfatide was run on the same gels, it showed the same electrophoretic mobility. In addition, a dose dependent binding of STb to sulfatide could be observed. Taken together, these data suggested that sulfatide present on the jejunal mucosa, could represent a natural target binding molecule for STb.

Abstract
Using a quantitative dot blot overlay assay of polyvinylidene difluoride membranes, we investigated the ability of Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb) to bind to various glycolipids of defined structure. STb bound strongly to acidic glycosphingolipids, including sulfatide (or 3'-sulfogalactosylceramide) and several gangliosides, but not significantly to their derivatives, galactosylceramide and asialogangliosides, respectively. STb exhibited the highest binding affinity for sulfatide. STb bound to pure sulfatide in a dose-dependent and saturable manner, with a detection level of a few nanograms. The binding was not inhibited by tetramethylurea, which is a strong disrupter of hydrophobic interactions, or by the anionic sulfated polymer of glucose, dextran sulfate, indicating that the binding is not due solely to either hydrophobic or ionic interactions via the sulfate group of the sulfatide. The specificity of the binding was confirmed by the finding that a 500-fold molar excess of sulfatide inhibited STb binding by approximately 45%, whereas no competition was obtained with galactosylceramide under the same conditions. Taken together, our data indicated that a galactose residue linked to a sulfate group is required for the binding specificity of STb. Then, total lipids extracted either from the mucous layer or from the epithelial cells of the pig jejunum brush border, the natural target of STb, were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Both extracts contained a lipidic molecule with a relative mobility on a TLC plate similar to that of the sulfatide standard. The migrated lipid extracted directly from a preparative TLC plate was confirmed to be sulfatide, as it was recognized by laminin, a sulfated glycolipid binding protein, and by a monoclonal antibody directed against sulfatide. In an overlay assay on PVDF membranes, STb bound to the sulfatide prepared from porcine jejunum as well as to the sulfatide standard. Thus, these findings suggest that the terminal oligosaccharide sequence Gal(3SO4)beta1- on sulfatide could mediate binding of STb to its target cells and, in support of a recent report (E. Rousset, J. Harel, and J. D. Dubreuil, Microb. Pathog. 24:277-288, 1998), probably terminal sialic acid residue on another glycosphingolipid. Moreover, pretreatment in the ligated intestinal loop assay with laminin or sulfatase altered the biological activity of STb. In summary, we present data indicating that sulfatide represents a functional receptor for the STb toxin.

Abstract
Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb) causes severe diarrhoea in weaning piglets. STb most probably has to bind to intestinal epithelial cells in order to achieve its effect. Using biotinylated biologically active STb, we developed a semi-quantitative binding assay using indirect fluorescence microscopy. We demonstrated the attachment of the biotinylated toxin to microvilli of the pig jejunum. However, binding was abolished when biotinylated STb was either boiled or treated with 2-mercaptoethanol, treatments known to abolish biological activity. Different characteristics of STb attachment to the pig small intestine were determined. The reaction was rapid and reached maximum intensity after approximately 10 min. The binding was pH dependent showing an optimum at pH 5.8. Incubation at either 4 degrees C, 25 degrees C or 37 degrees C did not affect the binding. No competition was observed with non-biotinylated STb. However, preincubation of biotinylated STb with streptavidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase completely abolished the binding. Pig tissues other than jejunum demonstrated binding towards STb including duodenum, ileum, caecum, colon, liver, lung, spleen and kidney. The molecule involved was then partially characterized. Metaperiodate treatment of the jejunum sections abrogated binding but protease treatment had no effect. Enzymatic treatments of jejunal sections demonstrated that N- and O-glycosidases, and several exoglycosidases did not affect binding, whereas reduced binding was observed with ceramide glycanase and alpha-glucosidase, and was completely abolished following neuraminidase treatment. Overall, our results suggest that in vitro STb binding was rapid, pH dependent, temperature independent, not restricted to jejunum and involves a molecule that seems to be composed of a ceramide moiety, terminal neuraminic acid and/or alpha-linked terminal glucose residue(s).

Abstract
CS31A fibrillae are thin, flexible, heteropolymeric proteinaceous appendages exposed as a capsule-like material around the cell surface of certain Escherichia coli strains. Two antigenic peptides of the S spike glycoprotein (TGEV-S) amino acids (aa) 363-371 and 521-531 of the transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) were tandemly introduced in the loop-structured, variable region aa 202-218 of the major ClpG subunit protein composing the bulk of CS31A. The resulting hybrid fibrillae with a 25 aa heterologous peptide were produced at the cell surface. Using a monoclonal antibody (Mab) specific for the TGEV epitopes, purified hybrid fibrillae were analysed in Western blotting under native conditions, which showed that the two viral epitopes were recognized immunologically as an integral part of the hybrid fibrillae, and therefore that they were antigenically active. The immunogenicity of the fusion construct was evaluated with live recombinant bacteria, purified hybrid ClpG monomers, and purified chimeric CS31A polymers. Whatever the form of hybrid used as antigen, intraperitoneally immunized outbred mice elicited serum anti-TGEV peptides antibodies (Abs) with significant titres and capable of recognizing native TGEV particles, indicating that the epitopes are exposed in an immunogenic conformation in all cases. However, virus neutralization titres were only obtained after immunization with either purified polymers or monomers. Furthermore, 4 months after an ultimate immunization with 20 micrograms of hybrid fibrillae mice developed a strong anamnestic Ab response against the two TGEV peptides following booster inoculation with virions. We conclude that CS31A fibrillae carrying a combination of TGEV epitopes as insert can induce an immunological memory in outbred animals infected with TGEV, and therefore that hybrid CS31A fibrillae may prove efficient as components of a subunit vaccine.

Abstract
Pathogenic Escherichia coli produce fimbriae which mediate binding to mucosal cells. Generally, different fimbriae are associated with different tissular tropisms and different host specificities. Genes encoding for pilin and adhesin subunits of two F17-related fimbriae were cloned and sequenced. The first, G fimbriae, are synthesized by a human uropathogenic E. coli strain, and the second, 20K fimbriae, by a bovine septicaemic E. coli strain. We showed that both fimbriae are identical and present a high homology with F17a and F17b fimbriae synthesized by bovine enterotoxigenic E. coli strains. Furthermore, data showed that the G adhesin did not mediate adhesion to human uroepithelial cells, suggesting that it is not responsible for the urinary tropism of the strain and confirming the intestinal tropism specificity of F17-related adhesins.

Abstract
As a first step toward the design of an epitope vaccine, by using the nonfimbrial adhesin CS31A of Escherichia coli as a carrier, a low-resolution topological and epitope map of the CS31A subunit was developed by using solid-phase peptide synthesis and polyclonal rabbit antibodies raised against both native and denatured proteins. Peptides constituting antigenic epitopes on the major subunit (ClpG) of the multimeric CS31A antigen were identified by examining the binding of the antibodies to 249 overlapping nonapeptides covering the amino acid sequence of ClpG. With antibodies raised against denatured ClpG subunit, seven major epitope regions, corresponding to residues 10 to 18, 45 to 58, 88 to 107, 148 to 172, 187 to 196, 212 to 219, and 235 to 241, were located. Most of the epitopes were hydrophilic and were located in variable regions, residing largely in loop regions at the boundaries of secondary structural elements of ClpG. In contrast, antibodies raised against native CS31A antigen reacted only with the peptide AVNPNA (positions 179 to 184), demonstrating that this peptide was the only linear B-cell epitope of the native protein. The different immunogenic profiles of native CS31A antigen and denatured ClpG indicated that the denaturation process resulted in marked conformational changes in the protein, which could expose epitopes hidden or absent in native CS31A. To identify the surface-exposed epitopes, nine peptides covering the dominant antigenic regions of ClpG were synthesized and used to prepare site-specific antibodies. Antipeptide antibodies were tested, in a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), for cross-reactivity with native CS31A and denatured ClpG subunit. Four of these antipeptide antibodies bound to the native protein in an accessibility ELISA, indicating that residues 44 to 56, 174 to 190, 185 to 199, and 235 to 249 were surface exposed on CS31A. These data indicate that an immunodominant surface-exposed linear epitope was present in the region from positions 179 to 184 of ClpG in the native CS31A antigen on intact bacterial cells and suggest that the four surface-exposed epitopes constitute potential sites for insertions or substitutions with heterologous peptides.
