Figure Lengend Snippet: CB307 design and induced T-cell phenotypes. A, Illustration of CB307 format: three V H domains separated by peptide linkers. B, PSMA expression on cell lines. DU145-PSMA is isogenic to DU145-Parent other than for constitutive stable PSMA expression. C, Schematic of a Jurkat-based CD137 agonism reporter system whereby CB307 confers the clustering status of PSMA upon CD137 to generate a CD137 agonist signal. CD137 signaling is measured by luciferase expression from an NFκB-based reporter gene. D, Comparison of the reporter gene signal in the presence (DU145-PSMA) and absence (DU145-parent) of PSMA expression. E, Schematic of a primary cell CD137 activity assay whereby PBMCs stimulated by plate-bound αCD3 are co-incubated with tumor cells in the presence of CB307, leading to ( F ) PSMA-dependent secretion of IFNγ, ( G ) PSMA-dependent production of granzyme B, and ( H ) PSMA-dependent production of Bcl.xL. I, PSMA-dependent proliferation indicated by Ki67 expression. J, CB307 pharmacodynamic effects on NK cells. Statistical significance of CB307 treated versus untreated outcomes with PSMA-expressing tumor cells is indicated: **, P < 0.01; ****, P < 0.0001.
