     3. BACKGROUND 
     Immune therapy has great potential for the treatment of cancer. However, tumors can become resistant to immune therapy, for example by recruiting immunosuppressive cells or signaling molecules to the tumor microenvironment or by co-opting immune checkpoint signaling pathways. 
     Galectin-9 (GAL9) is an S-type lectin beta-galactoside-binding protein with N- and C-terminal carbohydrate-binding domains connected by a linker peptide. GAL9 has been implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. GAL9 has been shown to bind soluble PD-L2, and at least some of the immunological effects of PD-L2 have been suggested to be mediated through binding of multimeric PD-L2 to GAL9, rather than through PD-1 (WO 2016/008005, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). However, mechanisms by which GAL9 and PD-L2 impact immune effector function are not yet fully characterized. 
     There remains a need for therapeutic agents that can enhance immune effector function and reduce immunosuppressive or T cell exhaustion pathways. Such therapeutic agents may be useful for improving cancer immune therapy.

     6.4.1. Functional Characteristics of the GAL9 Antigen Binding Molecules 
     In some embodiments, upon contact therewith, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule increases cytokine secretion by activated immune cells, e.g., activated human immune cells. In some embodiments, the immune cells are peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In some embodiments, the immune cells are T cells. In some embodiments, the T cells are effector T cells. In some embodiments, the T cells are CD8+ T cells. In some embodiments, the T cells are CD4 +  T cells. In some embodiments, the immune cells are natural killer (NK) cells. In some embodiments, the immune cells are dendritic cells (DC). 
     The impact of the GAL9 antigen binding molecule on immune cell cytokine secretion may be determined by any suitable means. For instance, the impact of the GAL9 antigen binding molecule on immune cell cytokine secretion may be determined in vivo, ex vivo, or in vitro. In some embodiments, cytokine secretion is determined in activated immune cells contacted with a GAL9 antigen binding molecule, as compared to activated immune cells contacted with a control agent, e.g., a control antigen binding molecule or vehicle control. The immune cells may be activated by peptide stimulation. For example, the immune cells may be activated by a peptide or plurality of peptides known to induce an immune response. The control agent can be a negative control or a positive control. In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule increases cytokine secretion in immune cells, relative to a negative control agent or negative control antigen binding molecule. In some embodiments, the negative control antigen binding molecule is an isotype control binding molecule that does not bind GAL9. In some embodiments, the positive control antibody is an anti-PD1 antibody, such as nivolumab. In some embodiments, the positive control antibody is a GAL9 control antibody. The GAL9 control antibody can be Gal9 antibody clone RG9.1 (Cat. No. BE0218, InVivoMab Antibodies) or RG9.35. RG9.1 and RG9.35 are both described in Fukushima A, Sumi T, Fukuda K, Kumagai N, Nishida T, et al. (2008), “Roles of galectin-9 in the development of experimental allergic conjunctivitis in mice,”  Int Arch Allergy Immunol  146: 36-43, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The GAL9 control antibody can be Gal9 antibody clone ECA42 (Cat. No. LS-C179449, LifeSpan BioScience). In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule increases cytokine secretion in immune cells, relative to the positive control antibody. 
     Cytokine secretion by the immune cells can be assessed by any suitable means. By way of example only, cytokine secretion by in vitro or ex vivo immune cell culture models may be assessed by analyzing cytokine content of the cultured cell supernatants, e.g., by cytokine bead array.

In some embodiments, a population of dendritic cells treated with the GAL9 antigen binding molecule exhibits a greater percentage of cells positive for surface PD-L2 as compared to a control population of dendritic cells treated with a control agent. Exemplary control agents are described herein. In some embodiments, the control agent is an isotype antigen binding molecule that does not bind GAL9.

Control agents are described herein. In some embodiments, the control agent is an isotype antigen binding molecule that does not bind GAL9. Cell surface aggregation of PD-L2 in DCs may be assessed by any suitable means, e.g., confocal microscopy.

In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule reduces tumor growth. In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule reduces tumor growth by about 25%, 50%, or more than 50%. In some embodiments, the tumor is a melanoma tumor. In some embodiments, the reduction in tumor growth is relative to a subject treated with a control agent. Exemplary control agents are described herein. In some embodiments, the control agent is an isotype antigen binding molecule that does not bind GAL9. 
     6.4.2. Variable Regions 
     The GAL9 binding molecules described herein have variable region domain amino acid sequences of an antibody, including VH and VL antibody domain sequences. VH and VL sequences are described in greater detail below in Sections 6.4.2.1 and 6.4.2.2, respectively. 
     6.4.2.1. VH Regions 
     The VH amino acid sequences in the GAL9 binding molecules described herein are antibody heavy chain variable domain sequences. In a typical antibody arrangement in both nature and in the GAL9 binding molecules described herein, a specific VH amino acid sequence associates with a specific VL amino acid sequence to form an antigen-binding site. In various embodiments, VH amino acid sequences are mammalian sequences, including human sequences, synthesized sequences, or combinations of non-human mammalian, mammalian, and/or synthesized sequences, as described in further detail above in Sections 6.4.2.3 and 6.4.2.4. In various embodiments, VH amino acid sequences are mutated sequences of naturally occurring sequences. 
     6.4.2.2. VL Regions 
     The VL amino acid sequences useful in the GAL9 binding molecules described herein are antibody light chain variable domain sequences. In a typical arrangement in both natural antibodies and the antibody constructs described herein, a specific VL amino acid sequence associates with a specific VH amino acid sequence to form an antigen-binding site. In various embodiments, the VL amino acid sequences are mammalian sequences, including human sequences, synthesized sequences, or combinations of human, non-human mammalian, mammalian, and/or synthesized sequences, as described in further detail below in Sections 6.4.2.3 and 6.4.2.4.

In certain embodiments, the VL amino acid sequences are lambda (λ) light chain variable domain sequences. In certain embodiments, the VL amino acid sequences are kappa (κ) light chain variable domain sequences. In a preferred embodiment, the VL amino acid sequences are kappa (κ) light chain variable domain sequences. 
     6.4.2.3. Complementarity Determining Regions 
     The VH and VL amino acid sequences comprise highly variable sequences termed “complementarity determining regions” (CDRs), typically three CDRs (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3). In a variety of embodiments, the CDRs are mammalian sequences, including, but not limited to, mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, camel, donkey, goat, and human sequences. In a preferred embodiment, the CDRs are human sequences. In various embodiments, the CDRs are naturally occurring sequences. In various embodiments, the CDRs are naturally occurring sequences that have been mutated to alter the binding affinity of the antigen-binding site for a particular antigen or epitope. In certain embodiments, the naturally occurring CDRs have been mutated in an in vivo host through affinity maturation and somatic hypermutation. In certain embodiments, the CDRs have been mutated in vitro through methods including, but not limited to, PCR-mutagenesis and chemical mutagenesis. In various embodiments, the CDRs are synthesized sequences including, but not limited to, CDRs obtained from random sequence CDR libraries and rationally designed CDR libraries. Martin numbering scheme was used to determine the CDR boundaries. See  FIGS. 7A-7E . 
     In various embodiments, CDRs identified as binding an antigen of interest are further mutated (i.e., “affinity matured”) to achieve a desired binding characteristic, such as an increased affinity for the antigen of interest relative to the original CDR. For example, targeted introduction of diversity into the CDRs, including those CDRs identified to bind an antigen of interest, can be introduced using degenerate oligonucleotides. Various randomization schemes can be employed. For example, “soft-randomization” can be used that provides a high bias towards the identity of wild-type sequence at a given amino acid position, such as allowing a given position in CDRs to vary among all twenty amino acids while biasing towards the wild-type sequence by doping the four bases at each codon position at non-equivalent level. As an illustrative example of soft-randomization, if achieving approximately 50% of the wild-type sequence is desired, each base of each codon is kept 70% wild-type and 10% each of other nucleotides and the degenerate oligonucleotides are used to make a focused phage library around the selected CDRs with the resulting phage particles used for phage panning under various stringent selection conditions depending on the need. 
     6.4.2.4. Framework Regions and CDR Grafting 
     The VH and VL amino acid sequences comprise “framework region” (FR) sequences. FRs are generally conserved sequence regions that act as a scaffold for interspersed CDRs (see Section 6.4.2.3), typically in a FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4 arrangement (from N-terminus to C-terminus). In a variety of embodiments, the FRs are mammalian sequences, including, but not limited to mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, camel, donkey, goat, and human sequences. In a preferred embodiment, the FRs are human sequences. In various embodiments, the FRs are naturally occurring sequences. In various embodiments, the FRs are synthesized sequences including, but not limited, rationally designed sequences. 
     In a variety of embodiments, the FRs and the CDRs are both from the same naturally occurring variable domain sequence. In a variety of embodiments, the FRs and the CDRs are from different variable domain sequences, wherein the CDRs are grafted onto the FR scaffold with the CDRs providing specificity for a particular antigen. In certain embodiments, the grafted CDRs are all derived from the same naturally occurring variable domain sequence. In certain embodiments, the grafted CDRs are derived from different variable domain sequences. In certain embodiments, the grafted CDRs are synthesized sequences including, but not limited to, CDRs obtained from random sequence CDR libraries and rationally designed CDR libraries. In certain embodiments, the grafted CDRs and the FRs are from the same species. In certain embodiments, the grafted CDRs and the FRs are from different species. In a preferred grafted CDR embodiment, an antibody is “humanized”, wherein the grafted CDRs are non-human mammalian sequences including, but not limited to, mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, camel, donkey, and goat sequences, and the FRs are human sequences. Humanized antibodies are discussed in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,407,213, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference for all it teaches. In various embodiments, portions or specific sequences of FRs from one species are used to replace portions or specific sequences of another species&#39; FRs.

     6.4.5. Antigen Binding Sites 
     In some embodiments, a VL or VH amino acid sequence and a cognate VL or VH amino acid sequence are associated and form a first antigen binding site (ABS). The antigen binding site (ABS) is capable of specifically binding an epitope of an antigen. Antigen binding by an ABS is described in greater detail below in Section 6.4.5.1. 
     In alternative embodiments, e.g., wherein the GAL9 binding molecule is a single domain antibody, a VH or VL amino acid sequence forms the first ABS. 
     In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule comprises a second ABS. In some embodiments, the second ABS is specific for the same GAL9 antigen as the first ABS. In some embodiments, the second ABS specifically binds the same epitope of the same GAL9 antigen as the first ABS. In some embodiments, the second ABS is identical to the first ABS. 
     In some embodiments, the second ABS is specific for a different epitope of the first GAL9 antigen. For example if the first ABS comprises CDRs or variable domains from any one of the ABS clones selected from P9-02B, P9-04, P9-05, P9-08, P9-09, P9-10, P9-15, P9-16, P9-18, P9-19, P9-20, P9-21, P9-22, P9-27, P9-28, P9-31, P9-32, P9-36, P9-39, P9-49, P9-54, and P9-58, the second ABS may comprise CDRs or variable domains from another ABS clone selected from P9-02B, P9-04, P9-05, P9-08, P9-09, P9-10, P9-15, P9-16, P9-18, P9-19, P9-20, P9-21, P9-22, P9-27, P9-28, P9-31, P9-32, P9-36, P9-39, P9-49, P9-54, and P9-58. 
     In some embodiments, the GAL9 antigen binding molecule is multispecific, e.g., the second ABS of the GAL9 antigen binding molecule specifically binds an antigen that is different than the GAL9 antigen specifically bound by the first ABS. 
     6.4.5.1. Binding of Antigen by ABS 
     An ABS, and the GAL9 binding molecule comprising such ABS, is said to “recognize” the epitope (or more generally, the antigen) to which the ABS specifically binds, and the epitope (or more generally, the antigen) is said to be the “recognition specificity” or “binding specificity” of the ABS. 
     The ABS is said to bind to its specific antigen or epitope with a particular affinity. As described herein, “affinity” refers to the strength of interaction of non-covalent intermolecular forces between one molecule and another. The affinity, i.e. the strength of the interaction, can be expressed as a dissociation equilibrium constant (K D ), wherein a lower K D  value refers to a stronger interaction between molecules. K D  values of antibody constructs are measured by methods well known in the art including, but not limited to, bio-layer interferometry (e.g., Octet/FORTEBIO®), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology (e.g., Biacore®), and cell binding assays. For purposes herein, affinities are dissociation equilibrium constants measured by bio-layer interferometry using Octet/FORTEBIO®. 
     “Specific binding,” as used herein, refers to an affinity between an ABS and its cognate antigen or epitope in which the K D  value is below 10 −6 M, 10 −7 M, 10 −8 M, 10 −9 M, or 10 −10 M. 
     The number of ABSs in a GAL9 binding molecule as described herein defines the “valency” of the GAL9 binding molecule. A GAL9 binding molecule having a single ABS is “monovalent”. A GAL9 binding molecule having a plurality of ABSs is said to be “multivalent”. A multivalent GAL9 binding molecule having two ABSs is “bivalent.” A multivalent GAL9 binding molecule having three ABSs is “trivalent.” A multivalent GAL9 binding molecule having four ABSs is “tetravalent.” 
     In various multivalent embodiments, all of the plurality of ABSs have the same recognition specificity. Such a GAL9 binding molecule is a “monospecific” “multivalent” binding construct. In other multivalent embodiments, at least two of the plurality of ABSs have different recognition specificities. Such GAL9 binding molecules are multivalent and “multispecific”. In multivalent embodiments in which the ABSs collectively have two recognition specificities, the GAL9 binding molecule is “bispecific.” In multivalent embodiments in which the ABSs collectively have three recognition specificities, the GAL9 binding molecule is “trispecific.” 
     In multivalent embodiments in which the ABSs collectively have a plurality of recognition specificities for different epitopes present on the same antigen, the GAL9 binding molecule is “multiparatopic.” Multivalent embodiments in which the ABSs collectively recognize two epitopes on the same antigen are “biparatopic.” 
     In various multivalent embodiments, multivalency of the GAL9 binding molecule improves the avidity of the GAL9 binding molecule for a specific target. As described herein, “avidity” refers to the overall strength of interaction between two or more molecules, e.g. a multivalent GAL9 binding molecule for a specific target, wherein the avidity is the cumulative strength of interaction provided by the affinities of multiple ABSs. Avidity can be measured by the same methods as those used to determine affinity, as described above. In certain embodiments, the avidity of a GAL9 binding molecule for a specific target is such that the interaction is a specific binding interaction, wherein the avidity between two molecules has a K D  value below 10 −6 M, 10 −7 M, 10 −8 M, 10 −9 M, or 10 −10 M. In certain embodiments, the avidity of a GAL9 binding molecule for a specific target has a K D  value such that the interaction is a specific binding interaction, wherein the one or more affinities of individual ABSs do not have has a K D  value that qualifies as specifically binding their respective antigens or epitopes on their own. In certain embodiments, the avidity is the cumulative strength of interaction provided by the affinities of multiple ABSs for separate antigens on a shared specific target or complex, such as separate antigens found on an individual cell. In certain embodiments, the avidity is the cumulative strength of interaction provided by the affinities of multiple ABSs for separate epitopes on a shared individual antigen.

     In some embodiments, the cancerous or pre-cancerous tumor is associated or caused by a cancer virus that induces chronic inflammation in a host. For example, infections with HBV and HCV can induce chronic liver inflammation associated with oxidative DNA damage followed by cirrhosis resulting in some cases in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. 
     In some embodiments, the cancerous or pre-cancerous tumor is associated or caused by a cancer virus that is not oncogenic but inhibits the host&#39;s immune system, disrupting immunosurveillance and thereby allowing for the emergence of mutated malignant cells, for example HIV-infected patients. 
     In some embodiments, the treatment comprises administration one or more GAL9 binding molecules as described herein to a subject with an infectious disease(s), such as infection with HIV, HCV, HBV, EBV, or HPV. 
     In some embodiments, the treatment comprises administration one or more GAL9 binding molecules as described herein to a subject with HIV or AIDs in an amount effective to treat the subject. 
     6.10.4. Administration 
     The GAL9 binding molecule may be administered to a subject by any route known in the art. For example, the GAL9 binding molecule is administered to a human subject via, e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intranasal, parenteral, pulmonary, topical, oral, sublingual, intratumoral, peritumoral, intralesional, intrasynovial, intrathecal, intra-cerebrospinal, or perilesional administration.

     Various antigen-binding proteins tested were expressed using the Expi293 transient transfection system according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Briefly, plasmids coding for individual chains were mixed at 1:1 mass ratio, unless otherwise stated, and transfected into Expi 293 cells with ExpiFectamine 293 transfection kit. Cells were cultured at 37° C. with 8% CO 2 , 100% humidity and shaking at 125 rpm. Transfected cells were fed once after 16-18 hours of transfections. The cells were harvested at day 5 by centrifugation at 2000 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was collected for affinity chromatography purification. 
     6.11.1.2. ExpiCHO Expression 
     Various GAL9 antigen-binding proteins are tested and expressed using the ExpiCHO transient transfection system according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions. Briefly, plasmids coding for individual chains are mixed at, for example, a 1:1 mass ratio, and transfected with ExpiFectamine CHO transfection kit into ExpiCHO. 
     Cells are cultured at 37° C. with 8% CO 2 , 100% humidity and shaking at 125 rpm. Transfected cells are generally be fed once after 16-18 hours of transfections. The cells are harvested at day 5 by centrifugation at 2000 g for 10 munities. The supernatant is then collected for affinity chromatography purification. 
     6.11.1.3. Protein A Purification 
     Cleared supernatants containing the various antigen-binding proteins were separated using either a Protein A (ProtA) resin or an anti-CH1 resin on a Gravity flow purifier. In examples where a head-to-head comparison was performed, supernatants containing the various antigen-binding proteins were split into two equal samples. For ProtA purification, a 1 mL Protein A column (GE Healthcare) was equilibrated with PBS (5 mM sodium potassium phosphate pH 7.4, 150 mM sodium chloride). The sample was loaded onto the column at 5 ml/min. The sample was eluted using 0.1M sodium acetate pH 3.5. The elution was monitored by absorbance at 280 nm and the elution peaks were pooled for analysis. The elution was monitored by absorbance at 280 nm and the elution peaks were pooled for analysis. 
     6.11.1.4. SDS-Page Analysis 
     Samples containing the various separated antigen-binding proteins were analyzed by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE for the presence of complete product, incomplete product, and overall purity. 2 μg of each sample was added to 15 μL SDS loading buffer. Reducing samples were incubated in the presence of 10 mM reducing agent at 75° C. for 10 minutes. Non-reducing samples were incubated at 70° C. for 5 minutes without reducing agent. The reducing and non-reducing samples were loaded into a 4-15% gradient TGX gel (BioRad) with running buffer and run for 30 minutes at 220 volts. Upon completion of the run, the gel was washed with deionized (DI) water and stained using GelCode Blue Safe Protein Stain (ThermoFisher). The gels were destained with DI water prior to analysis. Densitometry analysis of scanned images of the destained gels was performed using standard image analysis software to calculate the relative abundance of bands in each sample. 
     6.11.1.5. IEX Chromatography 
     Samples containing the various separated antigen-binding proteins were analyzed by cation exchange chromatography for the ratio of complete product to incomplete product and impurities. Cleared supernatants were analyzed with a 5-ml MonoS (GE Lifesciences) on an AKTA Purifier FPLC. The MonoS column was equilibrated with buffer A (10 mM MES pH 6.0). The samples were loaded onto the column at 2 ml/min. The sample was eluted using a 0-30% gradient with buffer B (10 mM MES pH 6.0, 1 M sodium chloride) over 6 column bed volumes (CV). The elution was monitored by absorbance at 280 nm and the purity of the samples were calculated by peak integration to identify the abundance of the monomer peak and contaminants peaks. The monomer peak and contaminant peaks were separately pooled for analysis by SDS-PAGE as described above. 
     Analytical SEC Chromatography of each sample at 1 mg/mL was loaded onto the column at 1 ml/min. The sample was eluted using an isocratic flow of PBS for 1.5 CV. The elution was monitored by absorbance at 280 nm and the elution peaks were analyzed by peak integration. 
     6.11.1.6. Mass Spectrometry 
     Samples containing the various separated antigen-binding proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry to confirm the correct species by molecular weight. All analysis was performed by a third-party research organization. Briefly, samples were treated with a cocktail of enzymes to remove glycosylation. Samples were tested in the reduced format to specifically identify each chain by molecular weight and under non-reducing conditions to identify the molecular weights of all complexes in the samples. Mass spec analysis was used to identify the number of unique products based on molecular weight. 
     6.11.1.7. Antibody Discovery by Phage Display 
     Phage display of human Fab libraries was carried out using standard protocols. Human GAL9 protein was purchased from Acro Biosystems (Human Gal9 His-tag Cat #LG9-H5244) and biotinylated using EZ-Link NHS-PEG 12 -Biotin (ThermoScientific Cat #21312) using standard protocols. Phage clones were screened for the ability to bind the GAL9 protein by phage ELISA using standard protocols. 
     Briefly, Fab-formatted phage libraries were constructed using expression vectors capable of replication and expression in phage (also referred to as a phagemid). Both the heavy chain and the light chain were encoded for in the same expression vector, where the heavy chain was fused to a truncated variant of the phage coat protein pIII. The light chain and heavy chain-pIII fusion were expressed as separate polypeptides and assembled in the bacterial periplasm, where the redox potential enables disulfide bond formation, to form the phage display antibody containing the candidate ABS. 
     The library was created using sequences derived from a specific human heavy chain variable domain (VH3-23) and a specific human light chain variable domain (Vκ-1). For the screened library, all three CDRs of the VH domain were diversified to match the positional amino acid frequency by CDR length found in the human antibody repertoire. Light chain variable domains within the screened library were generated with diversity introduced solely into the VL CDR3 (L3); the light chain VL CDR1 (L1) and CDR2 (L2) retained the human germline sequence. 
     The heavy chain scaffold (SEQ ID NO:2), light chain scaffold (SEQ ID NO:4), full heavy chain Fab polypeptide (SEQ ID NO:1), and full light chain Fab polypeptide (SEQ ID NO:3) used in the phage display library are shown below, where a lower case “x” represents CDR amino acids that were varied to create the library.

     Diversity was created through Kunkel mutagenesis using primers to introduce diversity into VH CDR1 (H1), VH CDR2 (H2), VH CDR3 (H3) and VL CDR3 (L3) to mimic the diversity found in the natural antibody repertoire, as described in more detail in Kunkel, TA ( PNAS  Jan. 1, 1985. 82 (2) 488-492), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Briefly, single-stranded DNA was prepared from isolated phage using standard procedures and Kunkel mutagenesis was carried out. Chemically synthesized DNA was then electroporated into MC1061F-cells. Phagemid obtained from overnight culture was digested with restriction enzymes (Bam HI and Xba I) to remove the wild-type sequence. The digested sample was electroporated into TG1 cells, followed by recovery. Recovered cells were sub-cultured and infected with M13K07 helper phage to produce the phage library. 
     Phage panning was performed using standard procedures. Briefly, the first round of phage panning was performed with target immobilized on streptavidin magnetic beads which were subjected to ˜5×10 12  phages from the prepared library in a volume of 1 mL in PBST-2% BSA. After a one-hour incubation, the bead-bound phage were separated from the supernatant using a magnetic stand. Beads were washed three times to remove non-specifically bound phage and were then added to ER2738 cells (5 mL) at OD 600 ˜0.6. After 20 minutes, infected cells were sub-cultured in 25 mL 2×YT+ Ampicillin and M13K07 helper phage (final concentration, ˜10 10  pfu/ml) and allowed to grow overnight at 37° C. with vigorous shaking. The next day, phage were prepared using standard procedures by PEG precipitation. Pre-clearance of phage specific to SAV-coated beads was performed prior to panning. The second round of panning was performed using the KingFisher magnetic bead handler with 100 nM bead-immobilized antigen using standard procedures. In total, 3-4 rounds of phage panning were performed to enrich in phage displaying Fabs specific for the target antigen. Target-specific enrichment was confirmed using polyclonal and monoclonal phage ELISA. DNA sequencing was used to determine isolated Fab clones containing a candidate ABS. 
     The VL and VH domains identified in the phage screen described above were reformatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 architecture.

     Native Human Full-Length IgG1 Light Chain Architecture: 
     Equivalent to phage display light chain Fab, see [SEQ ID NO:3]. 
     6.11.1.8. Octet Determination of Binding Kinetics 
     To measure qualitative binding affinity in the GAL9 binder discovery campaigns, IgG1 reformatted binders were immobilized to a biosensor on an Octet (Pall ForteBio) biolayer interferometer. 
     Soluble GAL9 antigen was then added to the system and binding measured. Qualitative binding affinity was assessed by visualizing the slope of the dissociation phase of the octet sensogram from weakest (+) to strongest (+++). A slow off rate represented by a negligible drop in the dissociation phase of the sensogram and indicated a tight binding antibody (+++). To obtain accurate kinetic constants for monovalent affinities, a dilution series involving of at least five concentrations of the GAL9 analyte (ranging from approximately 10 to 20× K D  to 0.1× K D  value, 2-fold dilutions) were measured in the association step. In the dissociation step, the sensor was dipped into buffer solution that did not contain the GAL9 analyte, permitting the bound complex on the surface of the sensor to dissociate. Octet kinetic analysis software was used to calculate the kinetic and equilibrium binding constants based on the rate of association and dissociation curves. Analysis was performed globally (global fit) where kinetic constants were derived simultaneously from all analyte concentration included in the experiment. 
     6.11.1.9. Epitope Binning 
     Anti-GAL9 candidates formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1, as described above, were tested for GAL9 binding in a pair-wise manner using an octet-based ‘tandem’ assay. Briefly, biotinylated GAL9 was immobilized on a streptavidin sensor and two anti-GAL9 candidates were bound in tandem. A competitive blocking profile was generated determining whether a given anti-GAL9 candidate blocked binding of a panel of other anti-GAL9 candidates to GAL9. Anti-GAL9 candidates that competed for the same or non-overlapping binding regions were grouped together and referred to as belonging to the same bin. 
     6.11.1.10. PBMC Activation and Galectin 9 Antibody Treatment 
     Individual aliquots of PepMix HCMVA (pp65) (&gt;90%) Protein ID: P06725 (Cat. No. PM-PP65-2, JPT Peptide Technologies) were prepared according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions. PepMix™ HCMVA (pp65) is a complete protein-spanning mixture of overlapping 15mer peptides of the 65 kDa phosphoprotein (pp65) (Swiss-Prot ID: P06725) of human cytomegalovirus (HHV-5). Aliquots of PepMix were used for immunostimulation of PBMCs to assess immune cell responses. 
     Frozen human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were thawed according to standard conditions, then resuspended in growth media (10% FBS in RPMI). 
     Resuspended PBMCs were seeded at 5×10 5  cells in 96-well plates. Cells were incubated with 2 μg/mL PepMix™ HCMVA (pp65) plus 40 μg/mL of candidate GAL9 antibodies or control antibodies in growth media for 24 hours at 37° C., 5% CO 2 . 
     6.11.1.11. LEGENDplex Human Th Cytokine Assay 
     Cytokine secretion by PBMCs and by specific immune cell subpopulations was assessed by cytokine bead array at 24 hours and 72 hours after PBMC activation by PepMix HCMVA (pp65) and Galectin 9 antibody treatment as follows. 
     200 μl cell culture supernatant was collected and centrifuged to pellet cell debris. The resulting supernatants were analyzed using the LEGENDplex™ Human Th1 Panel (5-plex) (Cat. No. 740009, Biolegend). The LEGENDplex™ Human Th1 Panel is a bead-based assay to allows for simultaneous quantification of human cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α using flow cytometry. 
     Briefly, cytokine standards and capture bead mixtures were prepared according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions. Assay master mixes of 1:1:1 capture bead mixture: biotinylated detection antibodies, and assay buffer were prepared. 
     12.5 μl of supernatant samples or cytokine standards were incubated with 37.5 μl assay master mix. Plates were sealed, covered with foil, and shaken at 600 rpm for 2 hours at room temperature. Wells were then incubated, with shaking at 600 rpm, with streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SA-PE) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Beads were then washed twice and resuspended before proceeding to flow cytometry analysis according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions.

     6.11.2. Example 1: GAL9 Binding Arm Discovery Campaign 
     A chemically synthetic Fab phage library with diversity introduced into the Fab CDRs was screened against GAL9 antigens using a monoclonal phage ELISA format as described above. Phage clones expressing Fabs that recognized GAL9 were sequenced. 
     The campaign initially identified 52 GAL9 binding candidates (antigen binding site clones). Functional assays conducted after the variable regions of these clones had been reformatted into a bivalent monospecific human IgG1 format identified 22 antibodies having immune activating properties. 
     Table 3 lists the VH CDR1/2/3 sequences from the 22 activating ABS clones, showing only the residues of the CDRs that had been varied in constructing the library. Table 4 lists the VL CDR1/2/3 sequences from the identified ABS clones; the light chain CDR1 and CDR2 sequences are invariant, and only the residues of CDR3 that were varied in constructing the library are shown.

     Select GAL9 binding candidates were further analyzed for sequence motifs that could adversely affect antibody properties that are relevant to clinical development, such as stability, mutability, and immunogenicity. Computational analysis was performed according to Kumar and Singh ( Developability of biotherapeutics: computational approaches . Boca Raton: CRC Press, Taylor &amp; Francis Group, 2016). Analysis results are presented in Table 8, and demonstrate a limited number of adverse sequence motifs are present in the listed clones, indicating the potential for further clinical development.

     6.11.3. Example 2: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Increases Cytokine Production by Human PBMCs 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chain architectures (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO: 3, respectively) and were tested for their effect on cytokine production by PBMCs following peptide stimulation. PBMCs were stimulated essentially as described in Section 6.11.1 above. Briefly, PBMCs were harvested from human donors known to be responsive to human CMV virus (HCWV), placed in culture, and stimulated with HCMV PepMix to prime an antigen specific response, and treated with one of: control IgG, a comparator tool activating mAb (clone ECA42), α-PD1 (Nivolumab), or candidate anti-GAL9 antibodies. Cytokine secretion was measured at 24 and 72 hrs post-treatment by bead cytokine array. Results for INF-γ and TNF-α are depicted in  FIGS. 3A and 3B , respectively. The data shown in  FIGS. 3A-3B  is described in more detail in the Tables 9 and 10 provided below.

     Notably, PBMCs treated with candidates P9-15, P9-18, P9-21, and P9-28 demonstrated improved IFN-γ and TNF-α secretion following stimulation relative to both IgG control and the GAL9 comparator Tool antibody (clone ECA42). In addition, PBMCs treated with candidates P9-15, P9-18, P9-21, and P9-28 notably also demonstrated improved TNF-α production following stimulation relative to treatment with a commercial α-PD1 antibody. Thus, treatment of PBMCs with select anti-GAL9 candidates was able to improve cytokine secretion following peptide stimulation. Treatment with P9-54 resulted in a neutral response, with no significant difference in TNF-α and IFN-γ secretion (data not shown). 
     6.11.4. Example 3: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Increases TNF-α Production by Natural Killer (NK) Cells 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chains architectures (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively) and were tested for their effect on TNF-α secretion by NK Cells (lineage, CD56 + ) following 72 hours of peptide stimulation. NK Cells were treated with Control Antibody Clone 55, GAL9 antibody candidate P9-15 (Clone 15), or GAL9 antibody candidate P9-18 (Clone 18), at a dosage of 5 μg or 20 μg. After treatment, cells were assessed for levels of TNF-α secretion by flow cytometry. Representative data for the percentage of NK cells (CD56 + ) that secreted TNF-α are presented in  FIG. 6 . 
     Treatment with either GAL9 antibody candidate P9-18 or candidate P9-15 increased the percentages of NK cells that stained positive for TNF-α following stimulation, relative to the Clone P9-55, a negative control. In a population of NK cells treated with 5 μg of control antibody, 7.75% of such NK cells (CD56+) were TNF-α positive. By contrast, in a population of NK cells treated with 5 μg of P9-18, 12.0% of such NK cells were TNF-α positive. And NK cells treated with 5 μg of P9-15, 22.5% of such NK cells were TNF-α positive. See  FIG. 6 . 
     In a population of NK cells treated with 20 μg of control antibody, 10.3% of such NK cells (CD56+) were TNF-α positive. By contrast, in a population of NK cells treated with 20 μg of P9-18, 16.9% of such NK cells were TNF-α positive. And NK cells treated with 20 μg of P9-15, 28.5% of such NK cells were TNF-α positive. See  FIG. 6 . 
     Thus, treatment with select anti-GAL9 candidates was able to increase TNF-α production by NK cells following stimulation. See  FIG. 6 . 
     6.11.5. Example 4: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Increases IL-12 Production by Dendritic Cells 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chains architectures (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively) and were tested for their effect on IL-12 secretion by dendritic cells (lineage negative, class II + , CD11c + ) following peptide stimulation. PBMCs, which include the population of dendritic cells (DCs), were treated as described in Example 2 then assessed for levels of IL-12 secretion using an IL-12 Secretion Assay-Detection Kit (PE), Human (Cat. No. 130-092-124, Miltenyi Biotec) as per the manufacturers protocol. Representative data for the percentage of DCs that secreted IL-12 are presented in  FIG. 5 . 
     Notably, treatment with the GAL9 antibody candidate P9-18 increased the percentages of DCs that stained positive for IL-12 following stimulation, relative to the IgG control. In a population of DCs treated with control IgG, 0.26% of such DCs were IL-12 positive. By contrast, in a population of DCs treated with P9-18, 7.74% of such DCs were IL-12 positive, a 28-fold increase in IL-12 positive DCs relative to the IgG control-treated population. Thus, treatment of PBMCs with select anti-GAL9 candidates was able to increase IL-12 production by DCs following stimulation. 
     6.11.6. Example 5: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Increases Surface Expression of Co-Stimulatory Molecules on CD8+ T Cells 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs that had been formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chain architectures (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively) were tested for their effect on immune stimulatory surface marker expression by CD8 +  T-cells following peptide stimulation. PBMCs, which include the population of CD8+ T-cells, were treated as described in Example 2, stained with marker antibodies as described herein, then harvested for flow cytometry. Levels of the immune stimulatory surface markers CD27, CD42L, ICOS, 4-1BB, and X40 were assessed on CD8 T-cells. Data are shown in  FIG. 4 . “% value” represents the 00 of CD8+ T cells with detectable levels of the relevant marker.  FIG. 4  indicates that treatment with the αGAL9 antibody candidates P9-15, P9-18, P9-21, and P9-28 increased the immune stimulatory surface markers CD27, CD40L, ICOS, 4-1BB, and OX40 in CD8+ T cells, as compared to an Ig control antibody clone ECA42. 
     Representative data for the percentage of CD8 +  T-cells that stained positive for immune stimulatory surface marker are presented in Table 11 below.

Thus, treatment of PBMCs with select anti-GAL9 candidates was able to improve immune stimulatory surface marker expression by CD8 +  T cells following stimulation. The same immune stimulatory response was observed with low responder PBMC cells, donor 5 (data not shown). 
     6.11.7. Example 6: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Alters PD-L1 and PD-L2 Cell Surface Expression on Dendritic Cells (DCs) 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chains architecture (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively) and were tested for their effect on PD-L1 and PD-L2 cell surface expression on dendritic cells (lineage negative, class II, CD11c + ) following peptide stimulation. PBMCs, which include the population of dendritic cells (DCs), were treated as described in Example 2 then harvested for flow cytometry and the levels of PD-L1 and PD-L2 were assessed on DCs. Representative data for the percentage of DCs that stained positive for PD-L1 and PD-L2, as well as the geometric mean fluorescent intensity (GMI), are presented in Table 12 below.

Thus, treatment of PBMCs with select anti-GAL9 candidates was able to alter PD-L1 and PD-L2 surface expression by DCs following stimulation. 
     6.11.8. Example 7: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 Candidates Leads to Clustering of GAL9 and PD-L2 on the Cell Surface of Dendritic Cells 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chains architecture (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively) and were tested for their effect on clustering of GAL9, PD-L1, and PD-L2 on the cell-surface of dendritic cells (“DCs”). 
     PBMCs, which include the population of dendritic cells (DCs), were treated as described in Example 2 then fixed for confocal imaging analysis to assess GAL9, CD11c, and PD-L2 distribution on dendritic cells. 
     Results/Conclusion 
     Confocal images of dendritic cells treated with IgG control ( FIG. 8A ), P9-18 ( FIG. 8B ), and P9-21 ( FIG. 8C ) are shown. The blue staining shows DNA (DAPI), the red staining shows PD-L2, the green staining shows CD11c, and the yellow staining shows GAL9. Non-labeled images are bright field; rendered in gray scale in the attached figures. 
     Treatment with candidate P9-18 or P9-21 demonstrated co-localization and clustering of GAL9 and PD-L2 on DCs ( FIGS. 8B-8C ), as compared to IgG control. Thus, treatment with P9-18 or P9-21 can induce co-localization and clustering of GAL9 and PD-L2 on the cell surface of DCs following stimulation. 
     6.11.9. Example 8: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 P9-18 Retains PD-L2 and PD-L1 Expression on Tumor Cells 
     Anti-GAL9 candidate P9-18 was tested for its effect on cellular retention and distribution of PD-L2 and PD-L1 in tumor cells. 
     Antibodies 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific native human full-length IgG1 heavy chain and light chain architecture (SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively). Anti-PD-L2 clone TY25 and anti-PD-L1 clone 10F.9G2 were obtained from BioXcell (Lebanon, N.H.). 
     Cell Culture and Immunostaining 
     CT26 tumor cells were cultured and treated with either anti-GAL9 candidate P9-18 or IgG control. Cells were fixed and stained with DAPI, anti-PD-L2, and anti-PD-L1 for confocal imaging analysis. 
     Results/Conclusion 
       FIGS. 9A and 9B  show representative confocal images of CT26 tumor cells after treatment with P9-18 or IgG control. The blue staining shows DNA (DAPI), red shows PD-L2, and green shows PD-L1; rendered in gray scale in the attached figures. The imaging demonstrated that PD-L2 and PD-L1 are retained on the surface of CT26 tumor cells after treatment with P9-18 compared to IgG control. See  FIGS. 9A and 9B . The speckles in  FIG. 9B  highlight increased expression of PD-L2 and PD-L1 proteins. 
     6.11.10. Example 9: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 P9-18 or P9-21 Inhibits Tumor Growth in Colon and Melanoma Tumor Models 
     This study was conducted to determine if anti-GAL9 candidates P9-18 and P9-21 can inhibit tumor growth in a colon and melanoma tumor models. 
     Antibodies 
     Candidate GAL9 ABSs were formatted into a bivalent monospecific formatted on a mouse IgG2a backbone. 
     Animals and Treatment 
     BALB/c mice were implanted subcutaneously with CT26 tumor line and treated with anti-GAL9 candidates P9-18, P9-21, or IgG control. Treatments were intraperitoneal (I.P.), 200 μg, on days 7, 11, 15, and 19 with ten mice per treatment group. Tumor growth was assessed by measuring tumor volume. Mice were euthanized if tumors reached a volume of ˜1000 mm 3 . 
     C57BL/6 mice were implanted intradermally with a B16.F0 tumor line and treated with anti-GAL9 candidates P9-18, P9-21, or IgG control. Treatments were administered I.P., at 200 μg, on days 3, 7, 11, and 15, with ten mice per treatment group. 
     Results/Conclusion 
     Mice treated with P9-18 or P9-21 demonstrated a complete regression of CT26 tumors, while mice treated with the IgG control demonstrated continued tumor growth. See  FIG. 1 . Mice treated with P9-18 or P9-21 demonstrated reduced B16.F0 tumor growth compared to mice treated with IgG control. See  FIG. 2 . Thus, P9-18 or P9-21 can inhibit tumor growth in colon and melanoma tumor models, including complete regression in some cases. 
     6.11.11. Example 10: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 P9-15 Results in Fewer Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Induced Tumors and Reduces Viral Load 
     This study was conducted to determine the effect of anti-GAL9 P9-15 candidate on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced tumors in a humanized mouse model. 
     Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a γ-herpes virus that infects human B cells. However, many human viruses do not infect mice. Therefore, to test the effect of anti-GAL9 P9-15 on EBV-induced tumor, we a used a humanized mouse engrafted with human CD34 +  hematopoietic stem cells to make a mouse model reconstituted with human immune system cells. 
     Infection of Humanized Mice and Treatment 
       FIG. 10A  shows a schematic of the overall treatment schedule used for the study. Briefly, immunodeficient mice were intravenously injected with CD34 +  human stem cells and allowed to graft over the next 12 weeks. Humanized mice were then infected with EBV and incubated for 3 weeks to allow infection to occur. At the end of the infection period, the mice were treated with two dosages of anti-GAL9 P9-15 or IgG control on day 22 and day 26. Ten days post-treatment, living mice were euthanized and analyzed. 
     Generation of Humanized NRG Mice (hu-NRG) 
     Five female NRG (NOD-Rag1 null  IL2rg null , NOD rag gamma) were used for each treatment group. The Rag1 null  mutation renders the mice B and T cell deficient and the IL2rg null  mutation prevents cytokine signaling through multiple receptors, leading to a deficiency in functional NK cells. NRG mice are therefore extremely immunodeficient, allowing for engraftment of human CD34 +  hematopoietic stem cells. 
     The mice were irradiated twice, 3-4 hours apart, with 275cGy per dose (total of 550cGy), injected intravenously with 5×10 4  CD34 +  human stem cells, and then allowed to engraft for three weeks to produce the humanized NRG (“hu-NRG”) mice. The hu-NRG mice were weighed bi-weekly for 12 weeks to assess their health. In addition, tail bleeds were performed on week 4, week 8, and week 12 after administration of human CD34+ stem cells to monitor and confirm stable engraftment in the mice by flow cytometric analysis for detection of human CD45 +  cells including total mononuclear cells (CD45 + ), T cells (CD3 + ) and B cells (CD19 + ). 
     Spleen Tumors 
     Following euthanasia, the spleens were excised and examined to determine the number of macroscopically visible tumors, cell number, and weight, except where the mice died or were euthanized for ethical reasons. 
     Assessment of EBV Viral Load 
     EBV loads in the spleen and blood were measured using real-time PCR. 
     Statistical Analyses 
     Mann-Whitney U test based on 2-sided tail was conducted using GraphPad Prism 7 Software (San Diego, Calif.). 
     Results/Conclusion 
     The spleens from mice treated with anti-GAL9 P9-15 mice showed fewer macroscopically visible tumors than spleens from mice treated with IgG control. See  FIG. 10B . P9-15 treated mice had lighter spleen weight (average 0.100 g per spleen) compared to the IgG control treated mice (average 0.224 g per spleen, p-value&lt;0.0079), as well as significantly fewer spleen cells (22.14×10 6  in P9-15 treated mice compared to 51.04×10 6  in IgG treated control, p-value&lt;0.0159). See  FIGS. 10C-10D . Data are shown as the mean; error bars are SEM. 
     In addition, treatment with P9-15 controlled the viral load by 88%. P9-15 treated mice had an average of 0.32×10 6  copies/μg of EBV, while the IgG treated mice had an average of 2×10 6  copies/μg of EBV (p-value&lt;0.0079). See  FIG. 10E . Data are shown as the mean; error bars are ±SEM. These results demonstrate that treatment with P9-15 can reduce the development of EBV-induced tumors as well as control viral load. 
     6.11.12. Example 11: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 P9-28 Results in Fewer Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Induced Tumors 
     This study was conducted to determine the effect of GAL9 P9-28 candidate on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced tumors in a humanized mouse model. 
     Animals, Infection of Humanized Mice and Treatment 
     This study was conducted as described in Example 10 above. 
     Results/Conclusion 
     Anti-GAL9 P9-28 treated mice showed no visible macroscopic tumors on the spleens compared to IgG control. See  FIG. 11 . The anti-GAL9 P9-23 treated mice were unlikely to have tumors within the spleen, as inferred from the small spleen size with low cell numbers. These results demonstrate that treatment with P9-28 can reduce EBV-induced tumor development. 
     6.11.13. Example 12: Anti-GAL9 Silent Fc P9-18 (sFcP9-18) has an Antitumor Effect; sFcP9-18 and P9-18 can Establish Antitumor Immune Memory 
     This study was conducted to test the contribution of the Fc region to the antitumor effect of the immune-activating anti-Gal9 antibodies. In addition, a re-challenge study was conducted to determine if P9-18 or sFcP9-18 can establish antitumor immune memory. 
     Antibodies 
     P9-18 antigen-binding sites were formatted on either a murine IgG1 backbone, murine IgG2a backbone, or on a murine IgG2a backbone with Fc receptor-binding null mutations (sFc). The silent Fc (sFc) P9-18 antibody was made by making key point mutations that abrogate binding of the Fc to Fc receptors. 
     CT26 Cells 
     CT26 tumor cells were cultured in RPMI medium in a humidified incubator at 37° C., in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2  and 95% air. 
     Mice and Treatment Schedule 
     Seven to ten mice were implanted subcutaneously with 1×10 5  CT26 tumor cells, and then treated with either control IgG (mouse IgG2a), P9-18-IgG1 (murine IgG1 backbone), FcR-silent sFcP9-18 (murine IgG2a backbone with Fc-receptor binding null mutations), or P9-18 (murine IgG2a backbone) I.P., at 200 μg on days 7, 11, 15, and 19. 
     Tumor Volume Growth 
     Mice were monitored for up to 143 days and tumors measured every 1-3 days by calipers. Tumor volume (mm 3 ) was calculated according to the formula: tumor length×tumor width×2/2. 
     Complete Regression Response (CR) 
     Complete regression for the study was defined as a tumor volume 0 mm 3  for 20 consecutive measurements during the study. Animals were scored every 1-3 days during the study for a complete regression (CR) event. 
     Re-Challenge of CT26 Tumors 
     Tumor-free mice surviving the original initial tumor clearance study were allowed to rest for 65-70 days after tumors cleared. On day 107, the animals were re-implanted with 1×10 5  CT26 tumor cells with no additional treatment. New control mice were given a treatment with IgG2a control on day 113. Tumors were then allowed to grow for an additional 36 days. Tumor volume was determined as described above for days 107-143. 
     Results/Conclusion 
     The results from the tumor growth study are shown in  FIG. 12A . In mice administered the IgG (IgG2a) control antibody ( ), tumors reached 900-1000 mm 3  over the initial 50-day period. In contrast, treatment with P9-18-IgG2a ( ) had 77% (7/9) CR, and treatment with sFcP9-18-IgG2a ( ) had 70% (7/10) CR. These results demonstrate that the Fc region of the P9-18 antibody is not required for its antitumor effect. 
     The P9-18 ABS reformatted into an IgG1 backbone ( ) did not inhibit tumor growth, showing similar tumor growth to the control. 
     The results from the re-challenge study are shown in  FIG. 12B . Mice originally treated with P9-18-IgG2a had 100% (7/7) CR to new tumors, without additional treatment. Likewise, mice originally treated with sFcP9-18-IgG2a had 100% (7/7) CR to new tumors, without additional treatment. Treatment with the control IgG (IgG2a) antibody ( ) showed similar tumor growth as in the initial tumor clearance study. These data demonstrate that mice treated with P9-18 or sFcP9-18 have established anti-tumor immune memory to CT26 tumor cells following initial treatment with P9-18-IgG2a or sFc9-18-IgG2a. 
     6.11.14. Example 13: Treatment with Anti-GAL9 P9-18 Increases PD-L2 Expression on Tumor-Associated Dendritic Cells and Tumor Cells 
     Anti-GAL9 P9-18 was tested for its effect on PD-L1 and PD-L2 cell surface expression on tumor-associated dendritic cells and tumor cells. 
     Animals and Treatment 
     Three to five BALB/c mice were implanted subcutaneously with CT26 tumor cells and treated with P9-18 ABS formatted on a mouse IgG2a backbone or with mouse IgG2a control. All treatments were administered (I.P.), at 200 μg, on days 7 and 11. 
     Flow Cytometry 
     Tumors were dissected on day 13, digested, and dissociated. Next, a CD45.1 +  cell population, which includes immune and tumor cells, was isolated using anti-CD45.1 magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). The CD45.1 +  cell population was labelled and analyzed by flow cytometry for PD-L1 and PD-L2 cell surface expression on tumor-associated dendritic cells (CD11c+) and tumor cells. The reagents used are shown in Table 13 below.

     Results/Conclusion 
       FIG. 13  shows the mean percentage of PD-L1 +  or PD-L2 +  tumor-associated dendritic cells (CD11c + ) and the mean cell surface expression level (GMI) of PD-L1 or PD-L2 on tumor-associated dendritic cells (CD11c + ) after treatment with P9-18 (murine IgG2a backbone) or control. Treatment with P9-18 significantly increased the percentage of PDL2 +  tumor-associated dendritic cells. The amount of PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression (GMI) was also significantly increased on tumor-associated dendritic cells compared to control. See  FIG. 13 . Data are shown as the mean; error bars are ±SEM. 
       FIG. 14  shows the mean percentage of PD-L1 +  or PD-L2 +  tumor cells and the mean cell surface expression level (GMI) of PD-L1 or PD-L2 on tumor cells after treatment with P9-18 (murine IgG2a backbone) or IgG control. Treatment with P9-18 significantly increased the amount (GMI) of PD-L2 cell surface expression on tumor cells but not PD-L1 cell surface expression. See  FIG. 14 . Data are shown as the mean; error bars are ±SEM. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, we hypothesize that PD-L2 +  tumor cells may inhibit PD-L1 binding to PD-1 on tumors.
