     FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to anti-CD117 Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and methods for using the same for therapeutic purposes. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can be conjugated to a therapeutic agent to form an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs can exhibit increased efficacy, as compared to an unconjugated antibody. The linkage of the antibody to the drug (e.g., a cytotoxic drug) can be direct, or indirect via a linker. An important aspect of successful therapeutic ADCs is that the ADC be not only effective but also well-tolerated. Often the cytotoxin impacts both efficacy and tolerability. 
     ADCs have been proposed as a therapeutic regimen for preparing patients for transplant and stem cell therapy. By conditioning a patient with a cell-specific ADC, stem cells or immune cells can be selectively depleted while leaving the patient&#39;s remaining immune system largely intact. For example, Palchaudhuri et al. (2016)  Nat. Biotechnol.  34, 738-745 describes the use of a single dose of an anti-CD45 ADC where an anti-CD45 antibody was conjugated to saporin (SAP), and its ability to enable engraftment of donor cells for treatment in a sickle-cell anemia model. Unlike irradiation, the CD45-SAP ADC was reported to have avoided neutropenia and anemia, and provided for rapid recovery of T and B cells with minimal overall toxicity. However, there remains a need for a combination of effective cell targets and toxins that can be used for non-genotoxic targeted ADC-conditioning.

     “Substituted” as used herein and as applied to any of the above alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, and the like, means that one or more hydrogen atoms are each independently replaced with a substituent. Unless otherwise constrained by the definition of the individual substituent, the foregoing chemical moieties, such as “alkyl”, “alkylene”, “heteroalkyl”, “heteroalkylene”, “alkenyl”, “alkenylene”, “heteroalkenyl”, “heteroalkenylene”, “alkynyl”, “alkynylene”, “heteroalkynyl”, “heteroalkynylene”, “cycloalkyl”, “cycloalkylene”, “heterocyclolalkyl”, heterocycloalkylene”, “aryl,” “arylene”, “heteroaryl”, and “heteroarylene” groups can optionally be substituted. Typical substituents include, but are not limited to, —X, —R, —OH, —OR, —SH, —SR, NH 2 , —NHR, —N(R) 2 , —N + (R) 3 , —CX 3 , —CN, —OCN, —SCN, —NCO, —NCS, —NO, —NO 2 , —N 3 , —NC(═O)H, —NC(═O)R, —C(═O)H, —C(═O)R, —C(═O)NH 2 , —C(═O)N(R) 2 , —SO 3 —, —SO 3 H, —S(═O) 2 R, —OS(═O) 2 OR, —S(═O) 2 NH 2 , —S(═O) 2 N(R) 2 , —S(═O)R, —OP(═O)(OH) 2 , —OP(═O)(OR) 2 , —P(═O)(OR) 2 , —PO 3 , —PO 3 H 2 , —C(═O)X, —C(═S)R, —CO 2 H, —CO 2 R, —CO 2 —, —C(═S)OR, —C(═O)SR, —C(═S)SR, —C(═O)NH 2 , —C(═O)N(R) 2 , —C(═S)NH 2 , —C(═S)N(R) 2 , —C(═NH)NH 2 , and —C(═NR)N(R) 2 ; wherein each X is independently selected for each occasion from F, Cl, Br, and I; and each R is independently selected for each occasion from C 1 -C 12  alkyl, C 6 -C 20  aryl, C 3 -C 14  heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl, protecting group and prodrug moiety. Wherever a group is described as “optionally substituted,” that group can be substituted with one or more of the above substituents, independently for each occasion. The substitution may include situations in which neighboring substituents have undergone ring closure, such as ring closure of vicinal functional substituents, to form, for instance, lactams, lactones, cyclic anhydrides, acetals, hemiacetals, thioacetals, aminals, and hemiaminals, formed by ring closure, for example, to furnish a protecting group. 
     It is to be understood that certain radical naming conventions can include either a mono-radical or a di-radical, depending on the context. For example, where a substituent requires two points of attachment to the rest of the molecule, it is understood that the substituent is a di-radical. For example, a substituent identified as alkyl that requires two points of attachment includes di-radicals such as —CH 2 —, —CH 2 CH 2 —, —CH 2 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 —, and the like. Other radical naming conventions clearly indicate that the radical is a di-radical such as “alkylene,” “alkenylene,” “arylene,” “heterocycloalkylene,” and the like. 
     Wherever a substituent is depicted as a di-radical (i.e., has two points of attachment to the rest of the molecule), it is to be understood that the substituent can be attached in any directional configuration unless otherwise indicated. 
     “Isomerism” means compounds that have identical molecular formulae but differ in the sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereoisomers,” and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers,” or sometimes “optical isomers.” 
     A carbon atom bonded to four non-identical substituents is termed a “chiral center.” “Chiral isomer” means a compound with at least one chiral center. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist either as an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed “diastereomeric mixture.” When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration (R or S) of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked in accordance with the Sequence Rule of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog. (Cahn et al.,  Angew. Chem. Inter. Edit.  1966, 5, 385; errata 511; Cahn et al.,  Angew. Chem.  1966, 78, 413; Cahn and Ingold,  J. Chem. Soc.  1951 (London), 612; Cahn et al.,  Experientia  1956, 12, 81; Cahn,  J . Chem. Educ. 1964, 41, 116). A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture.” 
     The compounds disclosed in this description and in the claims may comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and different diastereomers and/or enantiomers of each of the compounds may exist. The description of any compound in this description and in the claims is meant to include all enantiomers, diastereomers, and mixtures thereof, unless stated otherwise. In addition, the description of any compound in this description and in the claims is meant to include both the individual enantiomers, as well as any mixture, racemic or otherwise, of the enantiomers, unless stated otherwise. When the structure of a compound is depicted as a specific enantiomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific enantiomer. Accordingly, enantiomers, optical isomers, and diastereomers of each of the structural formulae of the present disclosure are contemplated herein. In the present specification, the structural formula of the compound represents a certain isomer for convenience in some cases, but the present disclosure includes all isomers, such as geometrical isomers, optical isomers based on an asymmetrical carbon, stereoisomers, tautomers, and the like, it being understood that not all isomers may have the same level of activity. The compounds may occur in different tautomeric forms. The compounds according to the disclosure are meant to include all tautomeric forms, unless stated otherwise. When the structure of a compound is depicted as a specific tautomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific tautomer. 
     The compounds of any formula described herein include the compounds themselves, as well as their salts, and their solvates, if applicable. A salt, for example, can be formed between an anion and a positively charged group (e.g., amino) on a compound of the disclosure. Suitable anions include chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, bisulfate, sulfamate, nitrate, phosphate, citrate, methanesulfonate, trifluoroacetate, glutamate, glucuronate, glutarate, malate, maleate, succinate, fumarate, tartrate, tosylate, salicylate, lactate, naphthalenesulfonate, and acetate (e.g., trifluoroacetate). The term “pharmaceutically acceptable anion” refers to an anion suitable for forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Likewise, a salt can also be formed between a cation and a negatively charged group (e.g., carboxylate) on a compound of the disclosure. Suitable cations include sodium ion, potassium ion, magnesium ion, calcium ion, and an ammonium cation such as tetramethylammonium ion. Examples of some suitable substituted ammonium ions are those derived from: ethylamine, diethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, triethylamine, butylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine, benzylamine, phenylbenzylamine, choline, meglumine, and tromethamine, as well as amino acids, such as lysine and arginine. The compounds of the disclosure also include those salts containing quaternary nitrogen atoms. 
     Examples of suitable inorganic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following inorganic acids: hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, sulfurous, nitric, nitrous, phosphoric, and phosphorous. Examples of suitable organic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following organic acids: 2-acetyoxybenzoic, acetic, ascorbic, aspartic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, cinnamic, citric, edetic, ethanedisulfonic, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, glucheptonic, gluconic, glutamic, glycolic, hydroxymaleic, hydroxynaphthalene carboxylic, isethionic, lactic, lactobionic, lauric, maleic, malic, methanesulfonic, mucic, oleic, oxalic, palmitic, pamoic, pantothenic, phenylacetic, phenylsulfonic, propionic, pyruvic, salicylic, stearic, succinic, sulfanilic, tartaric, toluenesulfonic, and valeric. Examples of suitable polymeric organic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following polymeric acids: tannic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose. 
     Additionally, the compounds of the present disclosure, for example, the salts of the compounds, can exist in either hydrated or unhydrated (the anhydrous) form or as solvates with other solvent molecules. Non-limiting examples of hydrates include monohydrates, dihydrates, etc. Non-limiting examples of solvates include ethanol solvates, acetone solvates, etc. “Solvate” means solvent addition forms that contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate. If the solvent is water the solvate formed is a hydrate; and if the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by the combination of one or more molecules of water with one molecule of the substance in which the water retains its molecular state as H 2 O. A hydrate refers to, for example, a mono-hydrate, a di-hydrate, a tri-hydrate, etc. 
     In addition, a crystal polymorphism may be present for the compounds or salts thereof represented by the formulae disclosed herein. It is noted that any crystal form, crystal form mixture, or anhydride or hydrate thereof, is included in the scope of the present disclosure. 
     As used herein, the term “about” refers to a value that is within 10% above or below the value being described. For example, the term “about 5 nM” indicates a range of from 4.5 nM to 5.5 nM. 
     As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that specifically binds to, or is immunologically reactive with, a particular antigen. An antibody includes, but is not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), genetically engineered, and otherwise modified forms of antibodies, including but not limited to de-immunized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, heteroconjugate antibodies (e.g., bi- tri- and quad-specific antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, and tetrabodies), and antibody fragments (i.e., antigen binding fragments of antibodies), including, for example, Fab′, F(ab′) 2 , Fab, Fv, rIgG, and scFv fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. 
     The term “monoclonal antibody” (mAb) as used herein refers to an antibody that is derived from a single clone, including any eukaryotic, prokaryotic, or phage clone, by any means available or known in the art, and is not limited to antibodies produced through hybridoma technology. Monoclonal antibodies useful with the present disclosure can be prepared using a wide variety of techniques known in the art including the use of hybridoma, recombinant, and phage display technologies, or a combination thereof. The term “monoclonal antibody” is meant to include both intact molecules, as well as antibody fragments (including, for example, Fab and F(ab′) 2  fragments) that are capable of specifically binding to a target protein. As used herein, the Fab and F(ab′) 2  fragments refer to antibody fragments that lack the Fc fragment of an intact antibody. Examples of these antibody fragments are described herein. 
     The antibodies of the present disclosure are generally isolated or recombinant. “Isolated,” when used herein refers to a polypeptide, e.g., an antibody, that has been separated and/or recovered from a cell or cell culture from which it was expressed. Ordinarily, an isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step. Thus, an “isolated antibody,” refers to an antibody which is substantially free of other antibodies having different antigenic specificities. For instance, an isolated antibody that specifically binds to CD117 is substantially free of antibodies that specifically bind antigens other than CD117. 
     The term “antigen-binding fragment,” as used herein, refers to one or more portions of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to a target antigen. The antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody. The antibody fragments can be, for example, a Fab, F(ab′) 2 , scFv, diabody, a triabody, an affibody, a nanobody, an aptamer, or a domain antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed of the term “antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody include, but are not limited to: (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the V L , V H , C L , and C H 1 domains; (ii) a F(ab′) 2  fragment, a bivalent fragment containing two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the V H  and C H 1 domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the V L  and V H  domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) a dAb including V H  and V L  domains; (vi) a dAb fragment that consists of a V H  domain (see, e.g., Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546, 1989); (vii) a dAb which consists of a V H  or a V L  domain; (viii) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR); and (ix) a combination of two or more (e.g., two, three, four, five, or six) isolated CDRs which may optionally be joined by a synthetic linker. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, V L  and V H , are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the V L  and V H  regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv); see, for example, Bird et al., Science 242:423-426, 1988 and Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883, 1988). These antibody fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those of skill in the art, and the fragments can be screened for utility in the same manner as intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques, enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulins, or, in certain cases, by chemical peptide synthesis procedures known in the art. 
     As used herein, the term “anti-CD117 antibody” or “an antibody that binds to CD117” refers to an antibody that is capable of binding CD117, e.g., human CD117, with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent in targeting CD117. The amino acid sequences of the two main isoforms of human CD117 are provided in SEQ ID NO: 145 (isoform 1) and SEQ ID NO: 146 (isoform 2). 
     As used herein, the term “bispecific antibody” refers to an antibody, for example, a monoclonal, e.g., a de-immunized, a human or humanized antibody that is capable of binding two different epitopes that can be on the same or different antigens. For instance, one of the binding specificities can be directed towards an epitope on a hematopoietic stem cell surface antigen, such as CD117 (e.g., GNNK+ CD117), and the other can specifically bind an epitope on a different hematopoietic stem cell surface antigen or another cell surface protein, such as a receptor or receptor subunit involved in a signal transduction pathway that potentiates cell growth, among others. In some embodiments, the binding specificities can be directed towards unique, non-overlapping epitopes on the same target antigen (i.e., a biparatopic antibody). 
     As used herein, the term “complementarity determining region” (CDR) refers to a hypervariable region found both in the light chain and the heavy chain variable domains of an antibody. The more highly conserved portions of variable domains are referred to as framework regions (FRs). The amino acid positions that delineate a hypervariable region of an antibody can vary, depending on the context and the various definitions known in the art. Some positions within a variable domain may be viewed as hybrid hypervariable positions in that these positions can be deemed to be within a hypervariable region under one set of criteria while being deemed to be outside a hypervariable region under a different set of criteria. One or more of these positions can also be found in extended hypervariable regions. The antibodies described herein may contain modifications in these hybrid hypervariable positions. The variable domains of native heavy and light chains each contain four framework regions that primarily adopt a β-sheet configuration, connected by three CDRs, which form loops that connect, and in some cases form part of, the β-sheet structure. The CDRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the framework regions in the order FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4 and, with the CDRs from the other antibody chains, contribute to the formation of the target binding site of antibodies (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1987). In certain embodiments, numbering of immunoglobulin amino acid residues is performed according to the immunoglobulin amino acid residue numbering system of Kabat et al., unless otherwise indicated (although any antibody numbering scheme, including, but not limited to IMGT and Chothia, can be utilized). 
     The term “de-immunized” or “de-immunization”, as used herein, relates to modification of an original wild type construct (or parent antibody) by rendering said wild type construct non-immunogenic or less immunogenic in humans. De-immunized antibodies contain part(s), e.g., a framework region(s) and/or a CDR(s), of non-human origin. As used herein, the term “deimmunized antibody” refers to an antibody that is de-immunized by mutation not to activate the immune system of a subject (for example, Nanus et al., J. Urology 170: S84-S89, 2003; WO98/52976; WO00/34317). 
     As used herein, the terms “condition” and “conditioning” refer to processes by which a patient is prepared for receipt of a transplant, e.g., a transplant containing hematopoietic stem cells. Such procedures promote the engraftment of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (for instance, as inferred from a sustained increase in the quantity of viable hematopoietic stem cells within a blood sample isolated from a patient following a conditioning procedure and subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. According to the methods described herein, a patient may be conditioned for hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy by administration to the patient of an ADC, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of binding an antigen expressed by hematopoietic stem cells, such as CD117 (e.g., GNNK+ CD117). As described herein, the antibody may be covalently conjugated to a cytotoxin so as to form an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). Administration of an ADC, antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, capable of binding one or more of the foregoing antigens to a patient in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy can promote the engraftment of a hematopoietic stem cell graft, for example, by selectively depleting endogenous hematopoietic stem cells, thereby creating a vacancy filled by an exogenous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. 
     As used herein, the term “conjugate” or “antibody drug conjugate” or “ADC” refers to an antibody which is linked to a cytotoxin. An ADC is formed by the chemical bonding of a reactive functional group of one molecule, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, with an appropriately reactive functional group of another molecule, such as a cytotoxin described herein. Conjugates may include a linker between the two molecules bound to one another, e.g., between an antibody and a cytotoxin. Examples of linkers that can be used for the formation of a conjugate include peptide-containing linkers, such as those that contain naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring amino acids, such as D-amino acids. Linkers can be prepared using a variety of strategies described herein and known in the art. Depending on the reactive components therein, a linker may be cleaved, for example, by enzymatic hydrolysis, photolysis, hydrolysis under acidic conditions, hydrolysis under basic conditions, oxidation, disulfide reduction, nucleophilic cleavage, or organometallic cleavage (see, for example, Leriche et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem., 20:571-582, 2012). Notably, the term “conjugate” (when referring to a compound) is also referred to interchangeably herein as a “drug conjugate”, “antibody drug conjugate” or “ADC”. 
     As used herein, the term “coupling reaction” refers to a chemical reaction in which two or more substituents suitable for reaction with one another react so as to form a chemical moiety that joins (e.g., covalently) the molecular fragments bound to each substituent. Coupling reactions include those in which a reactive substituent bound to a fragment that is a cytotoxin, such as a cytotoxin known in the art or described herein, reacts with a suitably reactive substituent bound to a fragment that is an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, such as an antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof, or specific anti-CD117 antibody that binds CD117 (such as GNNK+ CD117) known in the art or described herein. Examples of suitably reactive substituents include a nucleophile/electrophile pair (e.g., a thiol/haloalkyl pair, an amine/carbonyl pair, or a thiol/α,β-unsaturated carbonyl pair, among others), a diene/dienophile pair (e.g., an azide/alkyne pair, among others), and the like. Coupling reactions include, without limitation, thiol alkylation, hydroxyl alkylation, amine alkylation, amine condensation, amidation, esterification, disulfide formation, cycloaddition (e.g., [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition, [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition, among others), nucleophilic aromatic substitution, electrophilic aromatic substitution, and other reactive modalities known in the art or described herein. 
     As used herein, “CRU (competitive repopulating unit)” refers to a unit of measure of long-term engrafting stem cells, which can be detected after in-vivo transplantation. 
     As used herein, the term “donor” refers to a human or animal from which one or more cells are isolated prior to administration of the cells, or progeny thereof, into a recipient. The one or more cells may be, for example, a population of hematopoietic stem cells. 
     As used herein, the term “diabody” refers to a bivalent antibody containing two polypeptide chains, in which each polypeptide chain includes V H  and V L  domains joined by a linker that is too short (e.g., a linker composed of five amino acids) to allow for intramolecular association of V H  and V L  domains on the same peptide chain. This configuration forces each domain to pair with a complementary domain on another polypeptide chain so as to form a homodimeric structure. Accordingly, the term “triabody” refers to trivalent antibodies containing three peptide chains, each of which contains one V H  domain and one V L  domain joined by a linker that is exceedingly short (e.g., a linker composed of 1-2 amino acids) to permit intramolecular association of V H  and V L  domains within the same peptide chain. In order to fold into their native structures, peptides configured in this way typically trimerize so as to position the V H  and V L  domains of neighboring peptide chains spatially proximal to one another (see, for example, Holliger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-48, 1993). 
     As used herein, “drug-to-antibody ratio” or “DAR” refers to the number of drugs, e.g., anthracycline, attached to the antibody of a conjugate. The DAR of an ADC can range from 1 to 8, although higher loads are also possible depending on the number of linkage sites on an antibody. In certain embodiments, the conjugate has a DAR of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. 
     As used herein, the term “endogenous” describes a substance, such as a molecule, cell, tissue, or organ (e.g., a hematopoietic stem cell or a cell of hematopoietic lineage, such as a megakaryocyte, thrombocyte, platelet, erythrocyte, mast cell, myeloblast, basophil, neutrophil, eosinophil, microglial cell, granulocyte, monocyte, osteoclast, antigen-presenting cell, macrophage, dendritic cell, natural killer cell, T-lymphocyte, or B-lymphocyte) that is found naturally in a particular organism, such as a human patient. 
     As used herein, the term “engraftment potential” is used to refer to the ability of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to repopulate a tissue, whether such cells are naturally circulating or are provided by transplantation. The term encompasses all events surrounding or leading up to engraftment, such as tissue homing of cells and colonization of cells within the tissue of interest. The engraftment efficiency or rate of engraftment can be evaluated or quantified using any clinically acceptable parameter as known to those of skill in the art and can include, for example, assessment of competitive repopulating units (CRU); incorporation or expression of a marker in tissue(s) into which stem cells have homed, colonized, or become engrafted; or by evaluation of the progress of a subject through disease progression, survival of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, or survival of a recipient. Engraftment can also be determined by measuring white blood cell counts in peripheral blood during a post-transplant period. Engraftment can also be assessed by measuring recovery of marrow cells by donor cells in a bone marrow aspirate sample. 
     As used herein, the term “exogenous” describes a substance, such as a molecule, cell, tissue, or organ (e.g., a hematopoietic stem cell or a cell of hematopoietic lineage, such as a megakaryocyte, thrombocyte, platelet, erythrocyte, mast cell, myeloblast, basophil, neutrophil, eosinophil, microglial cell, granulocyte, monocyte, osteoclast, antigen-presenting cell, macrophage, dendritic cell, natural killer cell, T-lymphocyte, or B-lymphocyte) that is not found naturally in a particular organism, such as a human patient. A substance that is exogenous to a recipient organism, e.g., a recipient patient, may be naturally present in a donor organism, e.g., a donor subject, from which the substance is derived. For example, an allogeneic cell transplant contains cells that are exogenous to the recipient, but native to the donor. Exogenous substances include those that are provided from an external source to an organism or to cultured matter extracted therefrom. 
     The term “effective amount” refers to the amount or dose of a therapeutic agent, e.g., an anti-CD117 antibody or an anti-CD117 ADC, which is sufficient to result in the desired outcome. 
     The terms “Fc”, “Fc region,” and “Fc domain,” as used herein refer to the portion of an immunoglobulin, e.g., an IgG molecule that correlates to a crystallizable fragment obtained by papain digestion of an IgG molecule. The Fc region comprises the C-terminal half of two heavy chains of an IgG molecule that are linked by disulfide bonds. It has no antigen binding activity but contains the carbohydrate moiety and binding sites for complement and Fc receptors, including the FcRn receptor (see below). For example, an Fc region contains the second constant domain CH2 (e.g., residues at EU positions 231-340 of IgG1) and the third constant domain CH3 (e.g., residues at EU positions 341-447 of human IgG1). As used herein, the Fc domain includes the “lower hinge region” (e.g., residues at EU positions 233-239 of IgG1). 
     Fc can refer to this region in isolation, or this region in the context of an antibody, antibody fragment, or Fc fusion protein. Polymorphisms have been observed at a number of positions in Fc domains, including but not limited to EU positions 270, 272, 312, 315, 356, and 358, and thus slight differences between the sequences presented in the instant application and sequences known in the art can exist. Thus, a “wild type IgG Fc domain” or “WT IgG Fc domain” refers to any naturally occurring IgG Fc region (i.e., any allele). The sequences of the heavy chains of human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 can be found in a number of sequence databases, for example, at the Uniprot database (www.uniprot.org) under accession numbers P01857 (IGHG1_HUMAN), P01859 (IGHG2_HUMAN), P01860 (IGHG3_HUMAN), and P01861 (IGHG1_HUMAN), respectively. An example of a “WT” Fc region is provided in SEQ ID NO: 122 (which provides a heavy chain constant region containing an Fc region). 
     The terms “modified Fc region” or “variant Fc region” as used herein refers to an IgG Fc domain comprising one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, insertions or modifications introduced at any position within the Fc region. In certain aspects a variant IgG Fc domain comprises one or more amino acid substitutions resulting in decreased or ablated binding affinity for an Fc gamma R and/or C1q as compared to the wild type Fc domain not comprising the one or more amino acid substitutions. Further, Fc binding interactions are essential for a variety of effector functions and downstream signaling events including, but not limited to, antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Accordingly, in certain aspects, an antibody comprising a variant Fc domain (e.g., an antibody, fusion protein or conjugate) can exhibit altered binding affinity for at least one or more Fc ligands (e.g., Fc gamma Rs) relative to a corresponding antibody otherwise having the same amino acid sequence but not comprising the one or more amino acid substitution, deletion, insertion or modifications such as, for example, an unmodified Fc region containing naturally occurring amino acid residues at the corresponding position in the Fc region. 
     Variant Fc domains are defined according to the amino acid modifications that compose them. For all amino acid substitutions discussed herein in regard to the Fc region, numbering is always according to the EU index as in Kabat. Thus, for example, D265C is an Fc variant with the aspartic acid (D) at EU position 265 substituted with cysteine (C) relative to the parent Fc domain. It is noted that the order in which substitutions are provided is arbitrary. Likewise, e.g., D265C/L234A/L235A defines a variant Fc variant with substitutions at EU positions 265 (D to C), 234 (L to A), and 235 (L to A) relative to the parent Fc domain. A variant can also be designated according to its final amino acid composition in the mutated EU amino acid positions. For example, the L234A/L235A mutant can be referred to as “LALA”. As a further example, the E233P.L234V.L235A.delG236 (deletion of 236) mutant can be referred to as “EPLVLAdelG”. As yet another example, the 1253A.H310A.H435A mutant can be referred to as “IHH”. It is noted that the order in which substitutions are provided is arbitrary. 
     The terms “Fc gamma receptor” or “Fc gamma R” as used herein refer to any member of the family of proteins that bind the IgG antibody Fc region and are encoded by the Fc gamma R genes. In humans this family includes but is not limited to Fcg amma RI (CD64), including isoforms Fc gamma RIa, Fc gamma RIb, and Fc gamma RIc; Fc gamma RII (CD32), including isoforms Fc gamma RIIa (including allotypes H131 and R131), Fc gamma RIIb (including Fc gamma RIIb-1 and Fc gamma RIIb-2), and Fc gamma RIIc; and Fc gamma RIII (CD16), including isoforms Fc gamma RIIIa (including allotypes V158 and F158) and Fc gamma RIIIb (including allotypes Fc gamma RIIIb-NA1 and Fc gamma RIIIb-NA2), as well as any undiscovered human Fc gamma Rs or Fc gamma R isoforms or allotypes. An Fc gamma R can be from any organism, including but not limited to humans, mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys. Mouse Fc gamma Rs include but are not limited to Fc gamma RI (CD64), Fc gamma RII (CD32), Fc gamma RIII (CD16), and Fc gamma RIII-2 (CD16-2), as well as any undiscovered mouse Fc gamma Rs or Fc gamma R isoforms or allotypes. 
     The term “effector function” as used herein refers to a biochemical event that results from the interaction of an Fc domain with an Fc receptor. Effector functions include but are not limited to ADCC, ADCP, and CDC. By “effector cell” as used herein is meant a cell of the immune system that expresses or one or more Fc receptors and mediates one or more effector functions. Effector cells include but are not limited to monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, mast cells, platelets, B cells, large granular lymphocytes, Langerhans&#39; cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and gamma delta T cells, and can be from any organism included but not limited to humans, mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys. 
     The term “silent”, “silenced”, or “silencing” as used herein refers to an antibody having a modified Fc region described herein that has decreased binding to an Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) relative to binding of an identical antibody comprising an unmodified Fc region to the FcγR (e.g., a decrease in binding to a FcγR by at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% relative to binding of the identical antibody comprising an unmodified Fc region to the FcγR as measured by, e.g., BLI). In some embodiments, the Fc silenced antibody has no detectable binding to an FcγR. Binding of an antibody having a modified Fc region to an FcγR can be determined using a variety of techniques known in the art, for example but not limited to, equilibrium methods (e.g., enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA); KinExA, Rathanaswami et al. Analytical Biochemistry, Vol. 373:52-60, 2008; or radioimmunoassay (RIA)), or by a surface plasmon resonance assay or other mechanism of kinetics-based assay (e.g., BIACORE™ analysis or Octet™ analysis (forteBIO)), and other methods such as indirect binding assays, competitive binding assays fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), gel electrophoresis and chromatography (e.g., gel filtration). These and other methods may utilize a label on one or more of the components being examined and/or employ a variety of detection methods including but not limited to chromogenic, fluorescent, luminescent, or isotopic labels. A detailed description of binding affinities and kinetics can be found in Paul, W. E., ed., Fundamental Immunology, 4th Ed., Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia (1999), which focuses on antibody-immunogen interactions. One example of a competitive binding assay is a radioimmunoassay comprising the incubation of labeled antigen with the antibody of interest in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled antigen, and the detection of the antibody bound to the labeled antigen. The affinity of the antibody of interest for a particular antigen and the binding off-rates can be determined from the data by scatchard plot analysis. Competition with a second antibody can also be determined using radioimmunoassays. In this case, the antigen is incubated with antibody of interest conjugated to a labeled compound in the presence of increasing amounts of an unlabeled second antibody. 
     As used herein, the term “identical antibody comprising an unmodified Fc region” refers to an antibody that lacks the recited amino acid substitutions (e.g., D265C, H435A, L234A, and/or L235A), but otherwise has the same amino acid sequence as the Fc modified antibody to which it is being compared. 
     The terms “antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” or “ADCC” refer to a form of cytotoxicity in which a polypeptide comprising an Fc domain, e.g., an antibody, bound onto Fc receptors (FcRs) present on certain cytotoxic cells (e.g., primarily NK cells, neutrophils, and macrophages) and enables these cytotoxic effector cells to bind specifically to an antigen-bearing “target cell” and subsequently kill the target cell with cytotoxins. (Hogarth et al., Nature review Drug Discovery 2012, 11:313) It is contemplated that, in addition to antibodies and fragments thereof, other polypeptides comprising Fc domains, e.g., Fc fusion proteins and Fc conjugate proteins, having the capacity to bind specifically to an antigen-bearing target cell will be able to effect cell-mediated cytotoxicity. 
     For simplicity, the cell-mediated cytotoxicity resulting from the activity of a polypeptide comprising an Fc domain is also referred to herein as ADCC activity. The ability of any particular polypeptide of the present disclosure to mediate lysis of the target cell by ADCC can be assayed. To assess ADCC activity, a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody) is added to target cells in combination with immune effector cells, resulting in cytolysis of the target cell. Cytolysis is generally detected by the release of label (e.g., radioactive substrates, fluorescent dyes or natural intracellular proteins) from the lysed cells. Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Specific examples of in vitro ADCC assays are described in Bruggemann et al., J. Exp. Med. 166:1351 (1987); Wilkinson et al., J. Immunol. Methods 258:183 (2001); Patel et al., J. Immunol. Methods 184:29 (1995). Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activity of the antibody of interest can be assessed in vivo, e.g., in an animal model such as that disclosed in Clynes et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:652 (1998). 
     The terms “full length antibody” or “intact antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody in its substantially intact form, and not an antibody fragment as defined herein. Thus, for an IgG antibody, an intact antibody comprises two heavy chains each comprising a variable region, a constant region and an Fc region, and two light chains each comprising a variable region and a constant region. More specifically, an intact IgG comprises two light chains each comprising a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL), and comprises two heavy chains each comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) and three heavy chain constant regions (CH1, CH2, and CH3). CH2 and CH3 represent the Fc region of the heavy chain. In one embodiment, the ADCs described herein comprise and anti-CD117 intact antibody. 
     As used herein, the term “framework region” or “FW region” includes amino acid residues that are adjacent to the CDRs of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. FW region residues may be present in, for example, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, Fab fragments, single chain antibody fragments, scFv fragments, antibody domains, and bispecific antibodies, among others. 
     Also provided are “conservative sequence modifications” of the sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs described herein, i.e., nucleotide and amino acid sequence modifications which do not abrogate the binding of the antibody encoded by the nucleotide sequence or containing the amino acid sequence, to the antigen. Such conservative sequence modifications include conservative nucleotide and amino acid substitutions, as well as, nucleotide and amino acid additions and deletions. For example, modifications can be introduced into SEQ ID NOs described herein by standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative sequence modifications include conservative amino acid substitutions, in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in an anti-CD117 antibody is preferably replaced with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods of identifying nucleotide and amino acid conservative substitutions that do not eliminate antigen binding are well-known in the art (see, e.g., Brummell et al., Biochem. 32:1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al. Protein Eng. 12(10):879-884 (1999); and Burks et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:412-417 (1997)). 
     As used herein, the term “half-life” refers to the time it takes for the plasma concentration of the antibody drug in the body to be reduced by one half or 50% in a subject, e.g., a human subject. This 50% reduction in serum concentration reflects the amount of drug circulating. 
     As used herein, the term “hematopoietic stem cells” (“HSCs”) refers to immature blood cells having the capacity to self-renew and to differentiate into mature blood cells containing diverse lineages including but not limited to granulocytes (e.g., promyelocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), erythrocytes (e.g., reticulocytes, erythrocytes), thrombocytes (e.g., megakaryoblasts, platelet producing megakaryocytes, platelets), monocytes (e.g., monocytes, macrophages), dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, and lymphocytes (e.g., NK cells, B-cells and T-cells). Such cells may include CD34 +  cells. CD34 +  cells are immature cells that express the CD34 cell surface marker. In humans, CD34+ cells are believed to include a subpopulation of cells with the stem cell properties defined above, whereas in mice, HSCs are CD34−. In addition, HSCs also refer to long term repopulating HSCs (LT-HSC) and short term repopulating HSCs (ST-HSC). LT-HSCs and ST-HSCs are differentiated, based on functional potential and on cell surface marker expression. For example, human HSCs are CD34+, CD38−, CD45RA−, CD90+, CD49F+, and lin− (negative for mature lineage markers including CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD11B, CD19, CD20, CD56, CD235A). In mice, bone marrow LT-HSCs are CD34−, SCA-1+, C-kit+, CD135−, Slamfl/CD150+, CD48−, and lin− (negative for mature lineage markers including Ter119, CD11b, Gr1, CD3, CD4, CD8, B220, IL7ra), whereas ST-HSCs are CD34+, SCA-1+, C-kit+, CD135−, Slamfl/CD150+, and lin− (negative for mature lineage markers including Ter119, CD11b, Gr1, CD3, CD4, CD8, B220, IL7ra). In addition, ST-HSCs are less quiescent and more proliferative than LT-HSCs under homeostatic conditions. However, LT-HSC have greater self-renewal potential (i.e., they survive throughout adulthood, and can be serially transplanted through successive recipients), whereas ST-HSCs have limited self-renewal (i.e., they survive for only a limited period of time, and do not possess serial transplantation potential). Any of these HSCs can be used in the methods described herein. ST-HSCs are particularly useful because they are highly proliferative and thus, can more quickly give rise to differentiated progeny. 
     As used herein, the term “hematopoietic stem cell functional potential” refers to the functional properties of hematopoietic stem cells which include 1) multi-potency (which refers to the ability to differentiate into multiple different blood lineages including, but not limited to, granulocytes (e.g., promyelocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), erythrocytes (e.g., reticulocytes, erythrocytes), thrombocytes (e.g., megakaryoblasts, platelet producing megakaryocytes, platelets), monocytes (e.g., monocytes, macrophages), dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, and lymphocytes (e.g., NK cells, B-cells and T-cells), 2) self-renewal (which refers to the ability of hematopoietic stem cells to give rise to daughter cells that have equivalent potential as the mother cell, and further that this ability can repeatedly occur throughout the lifetime of an individual without exhaustion), and 3) the ability of hematopoietic stem cells or progeny thereof to be reintroduced into a transplant recipient whereupon they home to the hematopoietic stem cell niche and re-establish productive and sustained hematopoiesis. 
     As used herein, the term “human antibody” is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. A human antibody may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or during gene rearrangement or by somatic mutation in vivo). However, the term “human antibody”, as used herein, is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences. A human antibody can be produced in a human cell (for example, by recombinant expression) or by a non-human animal or a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell that is capable of expressing functionally rearranged human immunoglobulin (such as heavy chain and/or light chain) genes. When a human antibody is a single chain antibody, it can include a linker peptide that is not found in native human antibodies. For example, an Fv can contain a linker peptide, such as two to about eight glycine or other amino acid residues, which connects the variable region of the heavy chain and the variable region of the light chain. Such linker peptides are considered to be of human origin. Human antibodies can be made by a variety of methods known in the art including phage display methods using antibody libraries derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibodies can also be produced using transgenic mice that are incapable of expressing functional endogenous immunoglobulins, but which can express human immunoglobulin genes (see, for example, PCT Publication Nos. WO 1998/24893; WO 1992/01047; WO 1996/34096; WO 1996/33735; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,413,923; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,569,825; 5,661,016; 5,545,806; 5,814,318; 5,885,793; 5,916,771; and 5,939,598). 
     “Humanized” forms of non-human (e.g., murine or rat) antibodies are immunoglobulins that contain minimal sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In general, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. A humanized antibody can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. Methods of antibody humanization are known in the art and have been described, for example, in Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-7, 1988; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 5,693,761; 5,693,762; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,370 to Queen et al.; EP239400; PCT publication WO 91/09967; U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,539; EP592106; EP519596; Padlan, 1991, Mol. Immunol., 28:489-498; Studnicka et al., 1994, Prot. Eng. 7:805-814; Roguska et al., 1994, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91:969-973; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,332. 
     As used herein, patients that are “in need of” a hematopoietic stem cell transplant include patients that exhibit a defect or deficiency in one or more blood cell types, as well as patients having a stem cell disorder, autoimmune disease, cancer, or other pathology described herein. Hematopoietic stem cells generally exhibit 1) multi-potency, and can thus differentiate into multiple different blood lineages including, but not limited to, granulocytes (e.g., promyelocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), erythrocytes (e.g., reticulocytes, erythrocytes), thrombocytes (e.g., megakaryoblasts, platelet producing megakaryocytes, platelets), monocytes (e.g., monocytes, macrophages), dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, and lymphocytes (e.g., NK cells, B-cells and T-cells), 2) self-renewal, and can thus give rise to daughter cells that have equivalent potential as the mother cell, and 3) the ability to be reintroduced into a transplant recipient whereupon they home to the hematopoietic stem cell niche and re-establish productive and sustained hematopoiesis. Hematopoietic stem cells can thus be administered to a patient defective or deficient in one or more cell types of the hematopoietic lineage in order to re-constitute the defective or deficient population of cells in vivo. For example, the patient may be suffering from cancer, and the deficiency may be caused by administration of a chemotherapeutic agent or other medicament that depletes, either selectively or non-specifically, the cancerous cell population. Additionally or alternatively, the patient may be suffering from a hemoglobinopathy (e.g., a non-malignant hemoglobinopathy), such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, Fanconi anemia, aplastic anemia, and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. The subject may be one that is suffering from adenosine deaminase severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA SCID), HIV/AIDS, metachromatic leukodystrophy, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, and Schwachman-Diamond syndrome. The subject may have or be affected by an inherited blood disorder (e.g., sickle cell anemia) or an autoimmune disorder. Additionally or alternatively, the subject may have or be affected by a malignancy, such as neuroblastoma or a hematologic cancer. For instance, the subject may have a leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. In some embodiments, the subject has acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphoid leukemia, multiple myeloma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma. In some embodiments, the subject has myelodysplastic syndrome. In some embodiments, the subject has an autoimmune disease, such as scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn&#39;s disease, Type 1 diabetes, or another autoimmune pathology described herein. In some embodiments, the subject is in need of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy. In some embodiments, the subject has or is otherwise affected by a metabolic storage disorder. The subject may suffer or otherwise be affected by a metabolic disorder selected from the group consisting of glycogen storage diseases, mucopolysaccharidoses, Gaucher&#39;s Disease, Hurlers Disease, sphingolipidoses, metachromatic leukodystrophy, or any other diseases or disorders which may benefit from the treatments and therapies disclosed herein and including, without limitation, severe combined immunodeficiency, Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, hyper immunoglobulin M (IgM) syndrome, Chediak-Higashi disease, hereditary lymphohistiocytosis, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, storage diseases, thalassemia major, sickle cell disease, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and those diseases, or disorders described in “Bone Marrow Transplantation for Non-Malignant Disease,” ASH Education Book, 1:319-338 (2000), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to pathologies that may be treated by administration of hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. Additionally or alternatively, a patient “in need of” a hematopoietic stem cell transplant may one that is or is not suffering from one of the foregoing pathologies, but nonetheless exhibits a reduced level (e.g., as compared to that of an otherwise healthy subject) of one or more endogenous cell types within the hematopoietic lineage, such as megakaryocytes, thrombocytes, platelets, erythrocytes, mast cells, myeloblasts, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, microglia, granulocytes, monocytes, osteoclasts, antigen-presenting cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, T-lymphocytes, and B-lymphocytes. One of skill in the art can readily determine whether one&#39;s level of one or more of the foregoing cell types, or other blood cell type, is reduced with respect to an otherwise healthy subject, for instance, by way of flow cytometry and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) methods, among other procedures, known in the art. 
     As used herein a “neutral antibody” refers to an antibody, or an antigen binding fragment thereof, that is not capable of significantly neutralizing, blocking, inhibiting, abrogating, reducing or interfering with the activities of a particular or specified target (e.g., CD117), including the binding of receptors to ligands or the interactions of enzymes with substrates. In one embodiment, a neutral anti-CD117 antibody, or fragment thereof, is an anti-CD117 antibody that does not substantially inhibit SCF-dependent cell proliferation and does not cross block SCF binding to CD117. An example of a neutral antibody is Ab67 (or an antibody having the binding regions of Ab67). In contrast, an “antagonist” anti-CD117 antibody inhibits SCF-dependent proliferation and is able to cross block SCF binding to CD117. An example of an antagonist antibody is Ab55 (or an antibody having the binding regions of Ab55). 
     As used herein, the term “recipient” refers to a patient that receives a transplant, such as a transplant containing a population of hematopoietic stem cells. The transplanted cells administered to a recipient may be, e.g., autologous, syngeneic, or allogeneic cells. 
     As used herein, the term “sample” refers to a specimen (e.g., blood, blood component (e.g., serum or plasma), urine, saliva, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, tissue (e.g., placental or dermal), pancreatic fluid, chorionic villus sample, and cells) taken from a subject. 
     As used herein, the term “scFv” refers to a single chain Fv antibody in which the variable domains of the heavy chain and the light chain from an antibody have been joined to form one chain. scFv fragments contain a single polypeptide chain that includes the variable region of an antibody light chain (V L ) (e.g., CDR-L1, CDR-L2, and/or CDR-L3) and the variable region of an antibody heavy chain (V H ) (e.g., CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and/or CDR-H3) separated by a linker. The linker that joins the V L  and V H  regions of a scFv fragment can be a peptide linker composed of proteinogenic amino acids. Alternative linkers can be used to so as to increase the resistance of the scFv fragment to proteolytic degradation (for example, linkers containing D-amino acids), in order to enhance the solubility of the scFv fragment (for example, hydrophilic linkers such as polyethylene glycol-containing linkers or polypeptides containing repeating glycine and serine residues), to improve the biophysical stability of the molecule (for example, a linker containing cysteine residues that form intramolecular or intermolecular disulfide bonds), or to attenuate the immunogenicity of the scFv fragment (for example, linkers containing glycosylation sites). It will also be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the variable regions of the scFv molecules described herein can be modified such that they vary in amino acid sequence from the antibody molecule from which they were derived. For example, nucleotide or amino acid substitutions leading to conservative substitutions or changes at amino acid residues can be made (e.g., in CDR and/or framework residues) so as to preserve or enhance the ability of the scFv to bind to the antigen recognized by the corresponding antibody. 
     The terms “specific binding” or “specifically binds”, as used herein, refers to the ability of an antibody (o ADC) to recognize and bind to a specific protein structure (epitope) rather than to proteins generally. If an antibody is specific for epitope “A”, the presence of a molecule containing epitope A (or free, unlabeled A), in a reaction containing labeled “A” and the antibody, will reduce the amount of labeled A bound to the antibody. By way of example, an antibody “binds specifically” to a target if the antibody, when labeled, can be competed away from its target by the corresponding non-labeled antibody. In one embodiment, an antibody specifically binds to a target, e.g., CD117, if the antibody has a K D  for the target of at least about 10 −4  M, 10 −5  M, 10 −6  M, 10 −7  M, 10 −8  M, 10 −9  M, 10 −10  M, 10 −11  M, 10 −12  M, or less (less meaning a number that is less than 10 −12 , e.g. 10 −13 ). In one embodiment, the term “specific binding to CD117” or “specifically binds to CD117,” as used herein, refers to an antibody (or ADC) that binds to CD117 and has a dissociation constant (K D ) of 1.0×10 −7  M or less, as determined by surface plasmon resonance. In one embodiment, K D  (M) is determined according to standard bio-layer interferometery (BLI). In one embodiment, K off (1/s) is determined according to standard bio-layer interferometery (BLI). It shall be understood, however, that the antibody may be capable of specifically binding to two or more antigens which are related in sequence. For example, in one embodiment, an antibody can specifically bind to both human and a non-human (e.g., mouse or non-human primate) orthologs of CD117. 
     As used herein, the terms “subject” and “patient” refer to an organism, such as a human, that receives treatment for a particular disease or condition as described herein. For instance, a patient, such as a human patient, may receive treatment prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy in order to promote the engraftment of exogenous hematopoietic stem cells. 
     As used herein, the phrase “substantially cleared from the blood” refers to a point in time following administration of a therapeutic agent, e.g., an ADC comprising an anthracycline, to a patient when the concentration of the therapeutic agent in a blood sample isolated from the patient is such that the therapeutic agent is not detectable by conventional means (for instance, such that the therapeutic agent is not detectable above the noise threshold of the device or assay used to detect the therapeutic agent). A variety of techniques known in the art can be used to detect antibodies, or antibody fragments, such as ELISA-based detection assays known in the art or described herein. Additional assays that can be used to detect antibodies, or antibody fragments, include immunoprecipitation techniques and immunoblot assays, among others known in the art. 
     As used herein, the phrase “stem cell disorder” broadly refers to any disease, disorder, or condition that may be treated or cured by conditioning a subject&#39;s target tissues, and/or by ablating an endogenous stem cell population in a target tissue (e.g., ablating an endogenous hematopoietic stem or progenitor cell population from a subject&#39;s bone marrow tissue) and/or by engrafting or transplanting stem cells in a subject&#39;s target tissues. For example, Type I diabetes has been shown to be cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplant and may benefit from conditioning in accordance with the compositions and methods described herein. Additional disorders that can be treated using the compositions and methods described herein include, without limitation, sickle cell anemia, thalassemias, Fanconi anemia, aplastic anemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, ADA SCID, HIV/AIDS, metachromatic leukodystrophy, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, and Schwachman-Diamond syndrome. Additional diseases that may be treated using the patient conditioning and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplant methods described herein include inherited blood disorders (e.g., sickle cell anemia) and autoimmune disorders, such as scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn&#39;s disease. Additional diseases that may be treated using the conditioning and/or transplantation methods described herein include a malignancy, such as a neuroblastoma or a hematologic cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. For instance, the cancer may be acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphoid leukemia, multiple myeloma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma. Additional diseases treatable using the conditioning and/or transplantation methods described herein include myelodysplastic syndrome. In some embodiments, the subject has or is otherwise affected by a metabolic storage disorder. For example, the subject may suffer or otherwise be affected by a metabolic disorder selected from the group consisting of glycogen storage diseases, mucopolysaccharidoses, Gaucher&#39;s Disease, Hurlers Disease, sphingolipidoses, metachromatic leukodystrophy, or any other diseases or disorders which may benefit from the treatments and therapies disclosed herein and including, without limitation, severe combined immunodeficiency, Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, hyper immunoglobulin M (IgM) syndrome, Chediak-Higashi disease, hereditary lymphohistiocytosis, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, storage diseases, thalassemia major, sickle cell disease, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and those diseases, or disorders described in “Bone Marrow Transplantation for Non-Malignant Disease,” ASH Education Book, 1:319-338 (2000), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to pathologies that may be treated by administration of hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. 
     As used herein, the term “transfection” refers to any of a wide variety of techniques commonly used for the introduction of exogenous DNA into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell, such as electroporation, lipofection, calcium-phosphate precipitation, DEAE-dextran transfection and the like. 
     As used herein, the terms “treat” or “treatment” refers to reducing the severity and/or frequency of disease symptoms, eliminating disease symptoms and/or the underlying cause of said symptoms, reducing the frequency or likelihood of disease symptoms and/or their underlying cause, and improving or remediating damage caused, directly or indirectly, by disease, any improvement of any consequence of disease, such as prolonged survival, less morbidity, and/or a lessening of side effects which are the byproducts of an alternative therapeutic modality; as is readily appreciated in the art, full eradication of disease is a preferred but albeit not a requirement for a treatment act. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, promoting the engraftment of exogenous hematopoietic cells in a patient following antibody conditioning therapy as described herein and subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. Additional beneficial results include an increase in the cell count or relative concentration of hematopoietic stem cells in a patient in need of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant following conditioning therapy and subsequent administration of an exogenous hematopoietic stem cell graft to the patient. Beneficial results of therapy described herein may also include an increase in the cell count or relative concentration of one or more cells of hematopoietic lineage, such as a megakaryocyte, thrombocyte, platelet, erythrocyte, mast cell, myeloblast, basophil, neutrophil, eosinophil, microglial cell, granulocyte, monocyte, osteoclast, antigen-presenting cell, macrophage, dendritic cell, natural killer cell, T-lymphocyte, or B-lymphocyte, following conditioning therapy and subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. Additional beneficial results may include the reduction in quantity of a disease-causing cell population, such as a population of cancer cells (e.g., CD117+ leukemic cells) or autoimmune cells (e.g., CD117+ autoimmune lymphocytes, such as a CD117+ T-cell that expresses a T-cell receptor that cross-reacts with a self-antigen). Insofar as the methods of the present disclosure are directed to preventing disorders, it is understood that the term “prevent” does not require that the disease state be completely thwarted. Rather, as used herein, the term preventing refers to the ability of the skilled artisan to identify a population that is susceptible to disorders, such that administration of the compounds of the present disclosure may occur prior to onset of a disease. The term does not imply that the disease state is completely avoided. 
     As used herein, the terms “variant” and “derivative” are used interchangeably and refer to naturally-occurring, synthetic, and semi-synthetic analogues of a compound, peptide, protein, or other substance described herein. A variant or derivative of a compound, peptide, protein, or other substance described herein may retain or improve upon the biological activity of the original material. 
     As used herein, the term “vector” includes a nucleic acid vector, such as a plasmid, a DNA vector, a plasmid, a RNA vector, virus, or other suitable replicon. Expression vectors described herein may contain a polynucleotide sequence as well as, for example, additional sequence elements used for the expression of proteins and/or the integration of these polynucleotide sequences into the genome of a mammalian cell. Certain vectors that can be used for the expression of antibodies and antibody fragments of the present disclosure include plasmids that contain regulatory sequences, such as promoter and enhancer regions, which direct gene transcription. Other useful vectors for expression of antibodies and antibody fragments contain polynucleotide sequences that enhance the rate of translation of these genes or improve the stability or nuclear export of the mRNA that results from gene transcription. These sequence elements may include, for example, 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions and a polyadenylation signal site in order to direct efficient transcription of the gene carried on the expression vector. The expression vectors described herein may also contain a polynucleotide encoding a marker for selection of cells that contain such a vector. Examples of a suitable marker include genes that encode resistance to antibiotics, such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and nourseothricin. 
     Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) 
     Antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind CD117 as described herein can be conjugated (linked) to a cytotoxic molecule (i.e., a cytotoxin such as PNU), thus forming an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). As used herein, the terms “cytotoxin”, “cytotoxic moiety”, and “drug” are used interchangeably. 
     In particular, the ADCs as disclosed herein include an antibody (including an antigen-binding fragment thereof) conjugated (i.e., covalently attached by a linker) to a cytotoxic moiety, wherein the cytotoxic moiety, when not conjugated to an antibody moiety, has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. In various embodiments, the cytotoxic moiety exhibits reduced or no cytotoxicity when bound in a conjugate, but resumes cytotoxicity after cleavage from the linker. In various embodiments, the cytotoxic moiety maintains cytotoxicity without cleavage from the linker. In some embodiments, the cytotoxic molecule is conjugated to a cell internalizing antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof as disclosed herein, such that following the cellular uptake of the antibody, or fragment thereof, the cytotoxin may access its intracellular target and, e.g., mediate hematopoietic cell death. ADCs of the present disclosure therefore may be of the general formula 
       Ab-(Z-L-Cy) n , 
     wherein an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (Ab) is conjugated (covalently linked) to linker (L), through a chemical moiety (Z), to a cytotoxic moiety (Cy). 
     Accordingly, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be conjugated to a number of drug moieties as indicated by integer n, which represents the average number of cytotoxins per antibody, which may range, e.g., from about 1 to about 20. In some embodiments, n is from 1 to 4. In some embodiments, n is 2. In some embodiments, n is 1. The average number of drug moieties per antibody in preparations of ADC from conjugation reactions may be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectroscopy, ELISA assay, and HPLC. The quantitative distribution of ADC in terms of n may also be determined. In some instances, separation, purification, and characterization of homogeneous ADC where n is a certain value from ADC with other drug loadings may be achieved by means such as reverse phase HPLC or electrophoresis. 
     For some antibody-drug conjugates, n may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody. For example, where the attachment is a cysteine thiol, an antibody may have only one or several cysteine thiol groups, or may have only one or several sufficiently reactive thiol groups through which a linker may be attached. Generally, antibodies do not contain many free and reactive cysteine thiol groups which may be linked to a drug moiety; primarily, cysteine thiol residues in antibodies exist as disulfide bridges. In certain embodiments, an antibody may be reduced with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or tricarbonylethylphosphine (TCEP), under partial or total reducing conditions, to generate reactive cysteine thiol groups. 
     In certain embodiments, fewer than the theoretical maximum of drug moieties are conjugated to an antibody during a conjugation reaction. An antibody may contain, for example, lysine residues that do not react with the drug-linker intermediate or linker reagent, as discussed below. Only the most reactive lysine groups may react with an amine-reactive linker reagent. In certain embodiments, an antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to reveal reactive nucleophilic groups such as lysine or cysteine. 
     The loading (drug/antibody ratio) of an ADC may be controlled in different ways, e.g., by: (i) limiting the molar excess of drug-linker intermediate or linker reagent relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, (iii) partial or limiting reductive conditions for cysteine thiol modification, (iv) engineering by recombinant techniques the amino acid sequence of the antibody such that the number and position of cysteine residues is modified for control of the number and/or position of linker-drug attachments. 
     Cytotoxin: Anthracycline 
     Antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind CD117 as described herein can be conjugated (linked) to a cytotoxic molecule (i.e., a cytotoxin such as an anthracycline), thus forming an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). As used herein, the terms “cytotoxin”, “cytotoxic moiety”, and “drug” are used interchangeably. 
     In particular, the ADCs as disclosed herein include an antibody that binds CD117 (including an antigen-binding fragment thereof) conjugated (i.e., covalently attached by a linker) to a cytotoxic moiety (e.g., an anthracycline), wherein the cytotoxic moiety, when not conjugated to an antibody moiety, has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. In various embodiments, the cytotoxic moiety exhibits reduced or no cytotoxicity when bound in a conjugate, but resumes cytotoxicity after cleavage from the linker. In various embodiments, the cytotoxic moiety maintains cytotoxicity without cleavage from the linker. In some embodiments, the cytotoxic molecule is conjugated to a cell internalizing antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof as disclosed herein, such that following the cellular uptake of the antibody, or fragment thereof, the cytotoxin may access its intracellular target and, e.g., mediate hematopoietic cell death. ADCs of the present disclosure therefore may be of the general formula 
       Ab-(Z-L-Cy) n , 
     wherein an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (Ab) is conjugated (covalently linked) to linker (L), through a chemical moiety (Z), to a cytotoxic moiety (Cy). 
     Accordingly, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be conjugated to a number of drug moieties as indicated by integer n, which represents the average number of cytotoxins per antibody, which may range, e.g., from about 1 to about 20. In some embodiments, n is from 1 to 4. In some embodiments, n is 1. The average number of drug moieties per antibody in preparations of ADC from conjugation reactions may be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectroscopy, ELISA assay, and HPLC. The quantitative distribution of ADC in terms of n may also be determined. In some instances, separation, purification, and characterization of homogeneous ADC where n is a certain value from ADC with other drug loadings may be achieved by means such as reverse phase HPLC or electrophoresis. 
     For some antibody-drug conjugates, n may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody. For example, where the attachment is a cysteine thiol, an antibody may have only one or several cysteine thiol groups, or may have only one or several sufficiently reactive thiol groups through which a linker may be attached. Generally, antibodies do not contain many free and reactive cysteine thiol groups which may be linked to a drug moiety; primarily, cysteine thiol residues in antibodies exist as disulfide bridges. In certain embodiments, an antibody may be reduced with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or tricarbonylethylphosphine (TCEP), under partial or total reducing conditions, to generate reactive cysteine thiol groups. In certain embodiments, higher drug loading, e.g. n&gt;5, may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain antibody-drug conjugates. 
     In certain embodiments, fewer than the theoretical maximum of drug moieties are conjugated to an antibody during a conjugation reaction. An antibody may contain, for example, lysine residues that do not react with the drug-linker intermediate or linker reagent, as discussed below. Only the most reactive lysine groups may react with an amine-reactive linker reagent. In certain embodiments, an antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to reveal reactive nucleophilic groups such as lysine or cysteine. 
     The loading (drug/antibody ratio) of an ADC may be controlled in different ways, e.g., by: (i) limiting the molar excess of drug-linker intermediate or linker reagent relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, (iii) partial or limiting reductive conditions for cysteine thiol modification, (iv) engineering by recombinant techniques the amino acid sequence of the antibody such that the number and position of cysteine residues is modified for control of the number and/or position of linker-drug attachments. 
     Anti-CD117 antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, as described herein can be conjugated (linked) to a cytotoxin. In some embodiments, the anti-CD117 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof as described herein can be conjugated to a cytotoxin that is an anthracycline molecule or derivative thereof. Anthracyclines are a subclass of antitumor antibiotics isolated from bacteria of the genus  Streptomyces  and which exhibit cytotoxic activity. Studies have indicated that anthracyclines may operate to kill cells by a number of different mechanisms including: 1) intercalation of the drug molecules into the DNA of the cell thereby inhibiting DNA-dependent nucleic acid synthesis; 2) production by the drug of free radicals which then react with cellular macromolecules to cause damage to the cells or 3) interactions of the drug molecules with the cell membrane (see, e.g., Peterson et al., “Transport And Storage Of Anthracycline In Experimental Systems And Human Leukemia” in Anthracycline Antibiotics In Cancer Therapy; and N. R. Bachur, “Free Radical Damage,” Id, pp. 97-102]. Because of their cytotoxic potential anthracyclines have been used in the treatment of numerous cancers such as leukemia, breast carcinoma, lung carcinoma, ovarian adenocarcinoma and sarcomas (see e.g., Wiernik, P. H., “Anthracycline: Current Status and New Developments,” p 11). 
     Representative examples of anthracyclines include, but are not limited to daunorubicin (Cerubidine; Bedford Laboratories), doxorubicin (Adriamycin; Bedford Laboratories; also referred to as doxorubicin hydrochloride, hydroxy-daunorubicin, and Rubex), epirubicin (Ellence; Pfizer), and idarubicin (Idamycin; Pfizer Inc.). Doxorubicin is thought to interact with DNA by intercalation and inhibition of the progression of the enzyme topoisomerase II, which unwinds DNA for transcription. Doxorubicin stabilizes the topoisomerase II complex after it has broken the DNA chain for replication, preventing the DNA double helix from being resealed and thereby stopping the process of replication. Doxorubicin and daunorubicin (DAUNOMYCIN) are prototype cytotoxic natural product anthracycline chemotherapeutics (Sessa et al., (2007) Cardiovasc. Toxicol. 7:75-79). 
     One non-limiting example of a suitable anthracycline for use herein is PNU-159682 (“PNU”), a highly potent major metabolite of nemorubicin. PNU exhibits greater than 3000-fold cytotoxicity relative to the parent nemorubicin (Quintieri et al., Clinical Cancer Research 2005, 11, 1608-1617). PNU is represented by the structural formula: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Multiple positions on anthracyclines such as PNU can serve as the position to covalently bond the linking moiety and, hence the anti-CD117 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof as described herein. For example, linkers may be introduced through modifications to the hydroxymethyl ketone side chain. 
     In some embodiments, the cytotoxin is a PNU derivative represented by the structural formula (I): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     wherein the wavy line indicates the point of covalent attachment to the linker of the ADC as described herein. 
     In some embodiments, the cytotoxin is a PNU derivative represented by the structural formula (II): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     wherein the wavy line indicates the point of covalent attachment to the linker of the ADC as described herein. 
     Linkers 
     The term “Linker” as used herein means a divalent chemical moiety comprising a covalent bond or a chain of atoms that covalently attaches an anti-CD117 antibody or fragment thereof (Ab) to a cytotoxin (e.g., a PNU derivative) to form an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). 
     Covalent attachment of the antibody and the drug moiety requires the linker to have two reactive functional groups, i.e. bivalency in a reactive sense. Bivalent linker reagents which are useful to attach two or more functional or biologically active moieties, such as peptides, nucleic acids, drugs, toxins, antibodies, haptens, and reporter groups are known, and methods have been described their resulting conjugates (Hermanson, G. T. (1996) Bioconjugate Techniques; Academic Press: New York, p. 234-242). 
     Accordingly, present linkers have two reactive termini, one for conjugation to an antibody and the other for conjugation to a cytotoxin. The antibody conjugation reactive terminus of the linker (reactive moiety, defined herein as Z′) is typically a chemical moiety that is capable of conjugation to the antibody through, e.g., a cysteine thiol or lysine amine group on the antibody, and so is typically a thiol-reactive group such as a Michael acceptor (as in maleimide), a leaving group, such as a chloro, bromo, iodo, or an R-sulfanyl group, or an amine-reactive group such as a carboxyl group. Conjugation of the linker to the antibody is described more fully herein below. 
     The cytotoxin conjugation reactive terminus of the linker is typically a chemical moiety that is capable of conjugation to the cytotoxin through formation of a bond with a reactive substituent within the cytotoxin molecule. Non-limiting examples include, for example, formation of an amide bond with a basic amine or carboxyl group on the cytotoxin, via a carboxyl or basic amine group on the linker, respectively, or formation of an ether, amide, or the like, via alkylation of an OH or NH group, respectively, on the cytotoxin. 
     When the term “linker” is used in describing the linker in conjugated form, one or both of the reactive termini will be absent (such as reactive moiety Z′, having been converted to chemical moiety Z, as described herein below) or incomplete (such as being only the carbonyl of the carboxylic acid) because of the formation of the bonds between the linker and/or the cytotoxin, and between the linker and/or the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Such conjugation reactions are described further herein below. 
     A variety of linkers can be used to conjugate the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, and ligands described to a cytotoxic molecule. Generally, linkers suitable for the present disclosure may be substantially stable in circulation, but allow for release of the anthracycline within or in close proximity to the target cells. In some embodiments, certain linkers suitable for the present disclosure may be categorized as “cleavable” or “non-cleavable”. Generally, cleavable linkers contain one or more functional groups that is cleaved in response to a physiological environment. For example, a cleavable linker may contain an enzymatic substrate (e.g., valine-alanine) that degrades in the presence of an intracellular enzyme (e.g., cathepsin B), an acid-cleavable group (e.g., a hydrozone) that degrades in the acidic environment of a cellular compartment, or a reducible group (e.g., a disulfide) that degrades in an intracellular reducing environment. By contrast, generally, non-cleavable linkers are released from the ADC during degradation (e.g., lysosomal degradation) of the antibody moiety of the ADC inside the target cell. 
     Non-Cleavable Linkers 
     Non-cleavable linkers suitable for use herein further may include one or more groups selected from a bond, —(C═O)—, C 1 -C 12  alkylene, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkylene, C 2 -C 12  alkenylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenylene, C 2 -C 12  alkynylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynylene, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, arylene, heteroarylene, and combinations thereof, each of which may be optionally substituted, and/or may include one or more heteroatoms (e.g., S, N, or O) in place of one or more carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of such groups include alkylene (CH 2 ) p , (C═O)(CH 2 ) r , and polyethyleneglycol (PEG; (CH 2 CH 2 O) q ), units, —(NHCH 2 CH 2 ) u —, wherein each of p, q, r, t, and u are integers from 1-12, selected independently for each occurrence. 
     In some embodiments, the linker L comprises one or more of a bond, —(C═O)—, a —C(O)NH— group, an —OC(O)NH— group, C 1 -C 12  alkylene, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkylene, C 2 -C 12  alkenylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenylene, C 2 -C 12  alkynylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynylene, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, arylene, heteroarylene, a —(CH 2 CH 2 O) q — group where q is an integer from 1-12, a —(NHCH 2 CH 2 ) u — group where u is an integer from 1-12, or a solubility enhancing group; 
     wherein each C 1 -C 12  alkylene, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkylene, C 2 -C 12  alkenylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenylene, C 2 -C 12  alkynylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynylene, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, arylene, or heteroarylene may optionally be substituted with from 1 to 5 substituents independently selected for each occasion from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, alkaryl, alkyl heteroaryl, amino, ammonium, acyl, acyloxy, acylamino, aminocarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, ureido, carbamate, aryl, heteroaryl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, sulfanyl, halogen, carboxy, trihalomethyl, cyano, hydroxy, mercapto, and nitro; 
     In some embodiments, each C 1 -C 12  alkylene, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkylene, C 2 -C 12  alkenylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenylene, C 2 -C 12  alkynylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynylene, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, arylene, or heteroarylene may optionally be interrupted by one or more heteroatoms selected from O, S and N. 
     In some embodiments, each C 1 -C 6  alkylene, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkylene, C 2 -C 12  alkenylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenylene, C 2 -C 12  alkynylene, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynylene, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, arylene, or heteroarylene may optionally be interrupted by one or more heteroatoms selected from O, S and N and may be optionally substituted with from 1 to 5 substituents independently selected for each occasion from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, alkaryl, alkyl heteroaryl, amino, ammonium, acyl, acyloxy, acylamino, aminocarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, ureido, carbamate, aryl, heteroaryl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, sulfanyl, halogen, carboxy, trihalomethyl, cyano, hydroxy, mercapto, and nitro. 
     In some embodiments, the linker L comprises a solubility enhancing group, such as those disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 9,636,421 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2017/0298145, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     Cleavable Linkers 
     In some embodiments, the linker conjugating the anti-CD117 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof and the cytotoxin (e.g., a PNU derivative) is cleavable under intracellular conditions, such that cleavage of the linker releases the cytotoxin unit from the antibody in the intracellular environment. Cleavable linkers are designed to exploit the differences in local environments, e.g., extracellular and intracellular environments, including, for example, pH, reduction potential or enzyme concentration, to trigger the release of the cytotoxin in the target cell. Generally, cleavable linkers are relatively stable in circulation, but are particularly susceptible to cleavage in the intracellular environment through one or more mechanisms (e.g., including, but not limited to, activity of proteases, peptidases, and glucuronidases). Cleavable linkers used herein are stable in circulating plasma and/or outside the target cell and may be cleaved at some efficacious rate inside the target cell or in close proximity to the target cell. 
     Suitable cleavable linkers include those that may be cleaved, for instance, by enzymatic hydrolysis, photolysis, hydrolysis under acidic conditions, hydrolysis under basic conditions, oxidation, disulfide reduction, nucleophilic cleavage, or organometallic cleavage (see, for example, Leriche et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem., 20:571-582, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference as it pertains to linkers suitable for covalent conjugation). Suitable cleavable linkers may include, for example, chemical moieties such as a hydrazine, a disulfide, a thioether or a dipeptide. 
     Linkers hydrolyzable under acidic conditions include, for example, hydrazones, semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones, cis-aconitic amides, orthoesters, acetals, ketals, or the like. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,122,368; 5,824,805; 5,622,929; Dubowchik and Walker, 1999, Pharm. Therapeutics 83:67-123; Neville et al., 1989, Biol. Chem. 264:14653-14661, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to linkers suitable for covalent conjugation. Such linkers are relatively stable under neutral pH conditions, such as those in the blood, but are unstable at below pH 5.5 or 5.0, the approximate pH of the lysosome. 
     Linkers cleavable under reducing conditions include, for example, a disulfide. A variety of disulfide linkers are known in the art, including, for example, those that can be formed using SATA (N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate), SPDP (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate), SPDB (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)butyrate) and SMPT (N-succinimidyl-oxycarbonyl-alpha-methyl-alpha-(2-pyridyl-dithio)toluene), SPDB and SMPT (See, e.g., Thorpe et al., 1987, Cancer Res. 47:5924-5931; Wawrzynczak et al., In Immunoconjugates: Antibody Conjugates in Radioimagery and Therapy of Cancer (C. W. Vogel ed., Oxford U. Press, 1987. See also U.S. Pat. No. 4,880,935, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to linkers suitable for covalent conjugation. 
     Linkers susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis can be, e.g., a peptide-containing linker that is cleaved by an intracellular peptidase or protease enzyme, including, but not limited to, a lysosomal or endosomal protease. One advantage of using intracellular proteolytic release of the therapeutic agent is that the agent is typically attenuated when conjugated and the serum stabilities of the conjugates are typically high. In some embodiments, the peptidyl linker is at least two amino acids long or at least three amino acids long. Exemplary amino acid linkers include a dipeptide, a tripeptide, a tetrapeptide or a pentapeptide. Examples of suitable peptides include those containing amino acids such as Valine, Alanine, Citrulline (Cit), Phenylalanine, Lysine, Leucine, and Glycine. Amino acid residues which comprise an amino acid linker component include those occurring naturally, as well as minor amino acids and non-naturally occurring amino acid analogs, such as citrulline. Exemplary dipeptides include valine-citrulline (vc or val-cit) and alanine-phenylalanine (af or ala-phe). Exemplary tripeptides include glycine-valine-citrulline (gly-val-cit) and glycine-glycine-glycine (gly-gly-gly). One exemplary pentapeptide is glycine-glycine-glycine-glycine-glycine (gly-gly-gly-gly-gly). In some embodiments, the linker includes a dipeptide such as Val-Cit, Ala-Val, or Phe-Lys, Val-Lys, Ala-Lys, Phe-Cit, Leu-Cit, Ile-Cit, Phe-Arg, or Trp-Cit. Linkers containing dipeptides such as Val-Cit or Phe-Lys are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,345, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to linkers suitable for covalent conjugation. In some embodiments, the linker comprises a dipeptide selected from Val-Ala and Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises a dipeptide selected from Val-Ala and Val-Cit and further comprises gly-gly-gly or gly-gly-gly-gly-gly (SEQ ID NO: 291). 
     Linkers suitable for conjugating the CD117 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments as described herein to a cytotoxic molecule include those capable of releasing a cytotoxin by a 1,6-elimination process. Chemical moieties capable of this elimination process include the p-aminobenzyl (PAB) group, 6-maleimidohexanoic acid, pH-sensitive carbonates, and other reagents as described in Jain et al., Pharm. Res. 32:3526-3540, 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as it pertains to linkers suitable for covalent conjugation. 
     In some embodiments, the linker includes a “self-immolative” group such as the afore-mentioned PAB or PABC (para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl), which are disclosed in, for example, Carl et al., J. Med. Chem. (1981) 24:479-480; Chakravarty et al., (1983) J. Med. Chem. 26:638-644; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,214,345; 6,218,519; 6,835,807; 6,268,488; 6,759,509; 6,677,435; 5,621,002; US Patent Application Publication Nos. US20030130189; US20030096743; US20040052793; US20040018194; US20040052793; US20040121940; and International Patent Application Publication Nos. WO98/13059 and WO2004/032828). Other such chemical moieties capable of this process (“self-immolative linkers”) include methylene carbamates and heteroaryl groups such as aminothiazoles, aminoimidazoles, aminopyrimidines, and the like. Linkers containing such heterocyclic self-immolative groups are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 20160303254 and 20150079114, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,754,681; Hay et al. (1999) Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 9:2237; US 2005/0256030; de Groot et al (2001) J. Org. Chem. 66:8815-8830; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,223,837. In some embodiments, a dipeptide is used in combination with a self-immolative linker. 
     In some embodiments, the linker L comprises one or more of a hydrazine, a disulfide, a thioether, an amino acid, a peptide consisting of up to 10 amino acids, a p-aminobenzyl (PAB) group, a heterocyclic self-immolative group, C 1 -C 12  alkyl, C 1 -C 12  heteroalkyl, C 2 -C 12  alkenyl, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkenyl, C 2 -C 12  alkynyl, C 2 -C 12  heteroalkynyl, C 3 -C 12  cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, a —(C═O)— group, a —C(O)NH— group, an —OC(O)NH— group, a —(CH 2 CH 2 O) q — group where p is an integer from 1-12, —(NHCH 2 CH 2 ) u — or a solubility enhancing group;

     It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that any one or more of the chemical groups, moieties, and features disclosed herein may be combined in multiple ways to form linkers useful for conjugation of the antibodies and cytotoxins as disclosed herein. 
     Linker-Cytotoxin and Linker-Antibody Conjugation In certain embodiments, the linker is reacted with the cytotoxin under appropriate conditions to form a linker-cytotoxin conjugate. In certain embodiments, reactive groups are used on the cytotoxin or linker to form a covalent attachment. 
     In some embodiments, the cytotoxin is a PNU derivative thereof according to formula (I) or formula (II). The cytotoxin-linker conjugate is subsequently reacted with the antibody, derivatized antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds CD117, under appropriate conditions to form the ADC. Alternatively, the linker may first be reacted with the antibody, derivatized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds CD117, to form a linker-antibody conjugate, and then reacted with the cytotoxin (e.g., a PNU derivative) to form the ADC. Such conjugation reactions will now be described more fully. 
     A number of different reactions are available for covalent attachment of linkers or cytotoxin-linker conjugates to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Suitable attachment points on the antibody molecule include, but are not limited to, the amine groups of lysine, the free carboxylic acid groups of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine, and the various moieties of aromatic amino acids. For instance, non-specific covalent attachment may be undertaken using a carbodiimide reaction to link a carboxy (or amino) group on a linker to an amino (or carboxy) group on an antibody moiety. Additionally, bifunctional agents such as dialdehydes or imidoesters may also be used to link the amino group on a linker to an amino group on an antibody moiety. Also available for attachment of cytotoxins to antibody moieties is the Schiff base reaction. This method involves the periodate oxidation of a glycol or hydroxy group on either the antibody or linker, thus forming an aldehyde which is then reacted with the linker or antibody, respectively. Covalent bond formation occurs via formation of a Schiff base between the aldehyde and an amino group. Isothiocyanates may also be used as coupling agents for covalently attaching cytotoxins or antibody moieties to linkers. Other techniques are known to the skilled artisan and within the scope of the present disclosure. 
     Linkers useful in for conjugation to the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments as described herein include, without limitation, linkers containing a chemical moiety Z formed by a coupling reaction between a reactive substituent on the antibody and a reactive chemical moiety (referred to herein as a reactive substituent, Z′) on the linker as depicted in Table 1, below. Wavy lines designate points of attachment to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, and the cytotoxic molecule, respectively.

     One of skill in the art will recognize that a reactive substituent Z′ attached to the linker and a reactive substituent on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, are engaged in the covalent coupling reaction to produce the chemical moiety Z, and will recognize the reactive substituent Z′. Therefore, antibody-drug conjugates useful in conjunction with the methods described herein may be formed by the reaction of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, with a linker or cytotoxin-linker conjugate, as described herein, the linker or cytotoxin-linker conjugate including a reactive substituent Z′, suitable for reaction with a reactive substituent on the antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to form the chemical moiety Z. 
     As depicted in Table 1, examples of suitably reactive substituents Z′ on the linker and reactive substituents on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof include a nucleophile/electrophile pair (e.g., a thiol/haloalkyl pair, an amine/carbonyl pair, or a thiol/α,β-unsaturated carbonyl pair, and the like), a diene/dienophile pair (e.g., an azide/alkyne pair, or a diene/α,β-unsaturated carbonyl pair, among others), and the like. Coupling reactions between the reactive substitutents to form the chemical moiety Z include, without limitation, thiol alkylation, hydroxyl alkylation, amine alkylation, amine or hydroxylamine condensation, hydrazine formation, amidation, esterification, disulfide formation, cycloaddition (e.g., [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition, [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition, among others), nucleophilic aromatic substitution, electrophilic aromatic substitution, and other reactive modalities known in the art or described herein. In some embodiments, the reactive substituent Z′ is an electrophilic functional group suitable for reaction with a nucleophilic functional group on the antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof. 
     Reactive substituents that may be present within an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, as disclosed herein include, without limitation, nucleophilic groups such as (i) N-terminal amine groups, (ii) side chain amine groups, e.g. lysine, (iii) side chain thiol groups, e.g. cysteine, and (iv) sugar hydroxyl or amino groups where the antibody is glycosylated. Reactive substituents that may be present within an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, as disclosed herein include, without limitation, hydroxyl moieties of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues; amino moieties of lysine residues; carboxyl moieties of aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues; and thiol moieties of cysteine residues, as well as propargyl, azido, haloaryl (e.g., fluoroaryl), haloheteroaryl (e.g., fluoroheteroaryl), haloalkyl, and haloheteroalkyl moieties of non-naturally occurring amino acids. In some embodiments, the reactive substituents present within an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof as disclosed herein include, are amine or thiol moieties. Certain antibodies have reducible interchain disulfides, i.e. cysteine bridges. Antibodies may be made reactive for conjugation with linker reagents by treatment with a reducing agent such as DTT (dithiothreitol). Each cysteine bridge will thus form theoretically, two reactive thiol nucleophiles. Additional nucleophilic groups can be introduced into antibodies through the reaction of lysines with 2-iminothiolane (Traut&#39;s reagent) resulting in conversion of an amine into a thiol. Reactive thiol groups may be introduced into the antibody (or fragment thereof) by introducing one, two, three, four, or more cysteine residues (e.g., preparing mutant antibodies comprising one or more non-native cysteine amino acid residues). U.S. Pat. No. 7,521,541 teaches engineering antibodies by introduction of reactive cysteine amino acids. 
     In some embodiments, the reactive substituent Z′ attached to the linker is a nucleophilic group which is reactive with an electrophilic group present on an antibody. Useful electrophilic groups on an antibody include, but are not limited to, aldehyde and ketone carbonyl groups. A nucleophilic group (e.g., a) heteroatom of can react with an electrophilic group on an antibody and form a covalent bond to the antibody. Useful nucleophilic groups include, but are not limited to, hydrazide, oxime, amino, hydroxyl, hydrazine, thiosemicarbazone, hydrazine carboxylate, and arylhydrazide. 
     In some embodiments, chemical moiety Z is the product of a reaction between reactive nucleophilic substituents present within the antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as amine and thiol moieties, and a reactive electrophilic substituent Z′ attached to the linker. For instance, Z′ may be a Michael acceptor (e.g., maleimide), activated ester, electron-deficient carbonyl compound, or an aldehyde, among others. 
     Several representative and non-limiting examples of reactive substituents Z′ and the resulting chemical moieties Z are provided in Table 2.

     For instance, linkers suitable for the synthesis of linker-antibody conjugates and ADCs include, without limitation, reactive substituents Z′ attached to the linker, such as a maleimide or haloalkyl group. These may be attached to the linker by, for example, reagents such as succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-L-carboxylate (SMCC), N-succinimidyl iodoacetate (SIA), sulfo-SMCC, m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (MBS), sulfo-MBS, and succinimidyl iodoacetate, among others described, in for instance, Liu et al., 18:690-697, 1979, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference as it pertains to linkers for chemical conjugation.

     In some embodiments, the reactive substituent Z′ attached to linker L is a maleimide, azide, or alkyne. An example of a maleimide-containing linker is the non-cleavable maleimidocaproyl-based linker, which is particularly useful for the conjugation of microtubule-disrupting agents such as auristatins. Such linkers are described by Doronina et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 17:14-24, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference as it pertains to linkers for chemical conjugation. 
     In some embodiments, the reactive substituent Z′ is —(C═O)— or —NH(C═O)—, such that the linker may be joined to the antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, by an amide or urea moiety, respectively, resulting from reaction of the —(C═O)— or —NH(C═O)— group with an amino group of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. 
     In some embodiments, the reactive substituent Z′ is an N-maleimidyl group, halogenated N-alkylamido group, sulfonyloxy N-alkylamido group, carbonate group, sulfonyl halide group, thiol group or derivative thereof, alkynyl group comprising an internal carbon-carbon triple bond, (hetero)cycloalkynyl group, bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-yl group, alkenyl group comprising an internal carbon-carbon double bond, cycloalkenyl group, tetrazinyl group, azido group, phosphine group, nitrile oxide group, nitrone group, nitrile imine group, diazo group, ketone group, (O-alkyl)hydroxylamino group, hydrazine group, halogenated N-maleimidyl group, 1,1-bis (sulfonylmethyl)methylcarbonyl group or elimination derivatives thereof, carbonyl halide group, or an allenamide group, each of which may be optionally substituted. In some embodiments, the reactive substiuent comprises a cycloalkene group, a cycloalkyne group, or an optionally substituted (hetero)cycloalkynyl group. 
     In some embodiments, the chemical moiety Z is selected from Table 1. In some embodiments, the chemical moiety Z is: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     where S is a sulfur atom which represents the reactive substituent present within an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds to an antigen expressed on the cell surface of a human stem cell or a T cell (e.g., from the —SH group of a cysteine residue). 
     In some embodiments, the cytotoxin is a PNU derivative represented by the structural formula (I), and the linker is attached via to the hydroxymethyl oxygen. In such embodiments, the ADC may be represented by formula (VI): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     wherein L, Z, and Ab are each as described herein. 
     In some embodiments, the cytotoxin is a PNU derivative represented by the structural formula (II), and the linker is attached via an amide group at the C13 carbonyl. In such embodiments, the ADC may be represented by formula (VII): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     where each of L, Z, and Ab are as described herein. 
     In some embodiments, the linker L of the ADC of formula (VI) or (VII) is a cleavable linker. In some embodiments, the cleavable linker L includes one of: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     In some embodiments, the PNU-linker conjugate, taken together as Cy-L, may be represented by one of: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     where the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to chemical moiety Z, and hence, the antibody Ab. 
     Preparation of Antibody-Drug Conjugates 
     In the ADCs of formula Ab-(Z-L-Cy), as disclosed herein, such as an ADC of formula (VI) or (VII), an anti-CD117 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof (Ab) is conjugated to one or more cytotoxic drug moieties (Cy; e.g., a PNU derivative), for example, from about 1 to about 20 cytotoxic moieties per antibody, through a linker L and a chemical moiety Z as disclosed herein. Any number of cytotoxins can be conjugated to the anti-CD117 antibody, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. In some embodiments, n is from 1 to 4. In some embodiments, n is 2. 
     The ADCs of the present disclosure may be prepared by several routes, employing organic chemistry reactions, conditions, and reagents known to those skilled in the art, including: (1) reaction of a reactive substituent of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof with a bivalent linker reagent to form Ab-Z-L as described herein above, followed by reaction with a cytotoxic moiety Cy; or (2) reaction of a reactive substituent of a cytotoxic moiety with a bivalent linker reagent to form Cy-L-Z′, followed by reaction with a reactive substituent of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof as described herein above, to form an ADC of formula Ab-(Z-L-Cy) n . Additional methods for preparing ADCs are described herein. 
     In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof can have one or more carbohydrate groups that can be chemically modified to have one or more sulfhydryl groups. The ADC is then formed by conjugation through the sulfhydryl group&#39;s sulfur atom as described herein above. 
     In another embodiment, the antibody can have one or more carbohydrate groups that can be oxidized to provide an aldehyde (—CHO) group (see, for e.g., Laguzza, et al., J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32(3), 548-55). The ADC is then formed by conjugation through the corresponding aldehyde as described herein above. Other protocols for the modification of proteins for the attachment or association of cytotoxins are described in Coligan et al., Current Protocols in Protein Science, vol. 2, John Wiley &amp; Sons (2002), incorporated herein by reference. 
     Methods for the conjugation of linker-drug moieties to cell-targeted proteins such as antibodies, immunoglobulins or fragments thereof are found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,208,020; 6,441,163; WO2005037992; WO2005081711; and WO2006/034488, all of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety. 
     Alternatively, a fusion protein comprising the antibody and cytotoxic agent may be made, e.g., by recombinant techniques or peptide synthesis. The length of DNA may comprise respective regions encoding the two portions of the conjugate either adjacent one another or separated by a region encoding a linker peptide which does not destroy the desired properties of the conjugate. 
     Anti-CD117 Antibodies 
     The anti-CD117 ADC compositions and methods disclosed herein comprise an agent to facilitate the selective delivery of such ADCs to a population of cells in the target tissues (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells of the bone marrow stem cell niche). 
     In certain embodiments, an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, in an ADC described herein has a certain dissociation rate for human CD117 which is particularly advantageous when used as a part of a conjugate. For example, an anti-CD117 antibody has, in certain embodiments, an off rate constant (Koff) for human CD117 and/or rhesus CD117 of 1×10 −2  to 1×10 −3 , 1×10 −3  to 1×10 −4 , 1×10 −5  to 1×10 −6 , 1×10 −6  to 1×10 −7  or 1×10 −7  to 1×10 −8  as measured by bio-layer interferometry (BLI). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds a cell surface antigen (e.g., human CD117 and/or rhesus CD117) with a K D  of about 100 nM or less, about 90 nM or less, about 80 nM or less, about 70 nM or less, about 60 nM or less, about 50 nM or less, about 40 nM or less, about 30 nM or less, about 20 nM or less, about 10 nM or less, about 8 nM or less, about 6 nM or less, about 4 nM or less, about 2 nM or less, about 1 nM or less as determined by a Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) assay. 
     In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes ADCs comprising antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind to CD117, such as GNNK+ CD117. Such ADCs may be used as therapeutic agents to, for example, (i) treat cancers and autoimmune diseases characterized by CD117+ cells and (ii) promote the engraftment of transplanted hematopoietic stem cells in a patient in need of transplant therapy. These therapeutic activities can be caused, for instance, by the binding of isolated anti-CD117 antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to CD117 (e.g., GNNK+ CD117) expressed on the surface of a cell, such as a cancer cell, autoimmune cell, or hematopoietic stem cell and subsequently inducing cell death. The depletion of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells can provide a niche toward which transplanted hematopoietic stem cells can home, and subsequently establish productive hematopoiesis. In this way, transplanted hematopoietic stem cells may successfully engraft in a patient, such as human patient suffering from a stem cell disorder described herein. 
     Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments capable of binding human CD117 (also referred to as c-Kit, mRNA NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_000222.2, Protein NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_000213.1), including those capable of binding GNNK+ CD117, can be used in conjunction with the compositions and methods described herein in order to condition a patient for hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. Polymorphisms affecting the coding region or extracellular domain of CD117 in a significant percentage of the population are not currently well-known in non-oncology indications. There are at least four isoforms of CD117 that have been identified, with the potential of additional isoforms expressed in tumor cells. Two of the CD117 isoforms are located on the intracellular domain of the protein, and two are present in the external juxtamembrane region. The two extracellular isoforms, GNNK+ and GNNK−, differ in the presence (GNNK+) or absence (GNNK−) of a 4 amino acid sequence. These isoforms are reported to have the same affinity for the ligand (SCF), but ligand binding to the GNNK− isoform was reported to increase internalization and degradation. The GNNK+ isoform can be used as an immunogen in order to generate antibodies capable of binding CD117, as antibodies generated against this isoform will be inclusive of the GNNK+ and GNNK− proteins. The amino acid sequences of human CD117 isoforms 1 and 2 are described in SEQ ID Nos: 145 and 146, respectively. In certain embodiments, anti-human CD117 (hCD117) antibodies disclosed herein are able to bind to both isoform 1 and isoform 2 of human CD117. 
     As described below, a yeast library screen of human antibodies was performed to identify novel anti-CD117 antibodies, and fragments thereof, having diagnostic and therapeutic use. Antibody 54 (Ab54), Antibody 55 (Ab55), Antibody 56 (Ab56), Antibody 57 (Ab57), Antibody 58 (Ab58), Antibody 61 (Ab61), Antibody 66 (Ab66), Antibody 67 (Ab67), Antibody 68 (Ab68), and Antibody 69 (Ab69) were human antibodies that were identified in this screen. These antibodies cross react with human CD117 and rhesus CD117. Further, these antibodies disclosed herein are able to bind to both isoforms of human CD117, i.e., isoform 1 (SEQ ID NO: 145) and isoform 2 (SEQ ID NO: 146). 
     The amino acid sequences for the various binding regions of anti-CD117 antibodies, including Ab54, Ab55, Ab56, Ab57, Ab58, Ab61, Ab66, Ab67, Ab68, and Ab69 are described in the Sequence Table below. Included in the present disclosure are ADCs comprising human anti-CD117 antibodies comprising the CDRs as set forth in the Sequence Table below, as well as human anti-CD117 antibodies comprising the variable regions set forth in the Sequence Table below. 
     In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an ADC comprising an anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising binding regions, e.g., CDRs, variable regions, corresponding to those of Antibody 55. The heavy chain variable region (VH) amino acid sequence of Antibody 55 (i.e., Ab55) is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 19 (see Sequence Table). The VH CDR domain amino acid sequences of Antibody 55 are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 21 (VH CDR1); SEQ ID NO: 22 (VH CDR2), and SEQ ID NO: 23 (VH CDR3). The light chain variable region (VL) amino acid sequence of Antibody 55 is described in SEQ ID NO: 20 (see Sequence Table).

     Certain of the anti-CD117 antibodies described herein are neutral antibodies, in that the antibodies do not substantially inhibit CD117 activity on a CD117 expressing cell. Neutral antibodies can be identified using, for example, an in in vitro stem cell factor (SCF)-dependent cell proliferation assay. In an SCF dependent cell proliferation assay, a neutral CD117 antibody will not kill CD34 +  cells that are dependent on SCF to divide, as a neutral antibody will not block SCF from binding to CD117 such as to inhibit CD117 activity. 
     Neutral antibodies can be used for diagnostic purposes, given their ability to specifically bind to human CD117, but are also effective for killing CD117 expressing cells when conjugated to a cytotoxin, such as those described herein. Typically, antibodies used in conjugates have agonistic or antagonistic activity that is unique to the antibody. Described herein, however, is a unique approach to conjugates, especially in the context wherein the conjugate is being used as a conditioning agent prior to a stem cell transplantation. While antagonistic antibodies alone or in combination with a cytotoxin as a conjugate can be effective given the killing ability of the antibody alone in addition to the cytotoxin, conditioning with a conjugate comprising a neutral anti-CD117 antibody presents an alternative strategy where the activity of the antibody is secondary to the effect of the cytotoxin, but the internalizing and affinity characteristics, e.g., dissociation rate, of the antibody are important for effective delivery of the cytotoxin. 
     Examples of neutral anti-CD117 antibodies include Ab58, Ab61, Ab66, Ab67, Ab68, and Ab69. A comparison of the amino acid sequences of the CDRs of neutral, anti-CD117 antibody CDRs reveals consensus sequences among two groups of neutral antibodies identified. Ab58 and Ab61 share the same light chain CDRs and HC CDR3, with slight variations in the HC CDR1 and HC CDR2. Consensus sequences for the HC CDR1 and CDR2 are described in SEQ ID Nos: 133 and 134. Ab66, Ab67, Ab68, and Ab69 are also neutral antibodies. While Ab66, Ab67, Ab68, and Ab69 share the same light chain CDRs and the same HC CDR3, these antibodies have variability within their HC CDR1 and HC CDR2 regions. Consensus sequences for these antibodies in the HC CDR1 and HC CDR2 regions are provided in SEQ ID Nos: 139 and 140, respectively. 
     Antagonist antibodies are also provided herein, including Ab54, Ab55, Ab56, and Ab57. While Ab54, Ab55, Ab56, and Ab57 share the same light chain CDRs and the same HC CDR3, these antibodies have variability within their HC CDR1 and HC CDR2 regions. 
     Consensus sequences for these antibodies in the HC CDR1 and HC CDR2 regions are provided in SEQ ID Nos: 127 and 128, respectively.

     Fc Modified Antibodies 
     The present disclosure is based in part on the discovery that antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, having Fc modifications that allow Fc silencing capable of binding an antigen expressed by, e.g., a hematopoietic stem cell of a bone marrow stem cell niche, or a CD117+ leukemic cell or a CD117+ autoimmune lymphocyte), such as CD117, can be used as therapeutic agents alone or as ADCs to (i) facilitate the engraftment of transplanted hematopoietic stem cells in a patient in need of transplant therapy and (ii) treat cancers and autoimmune diseases. These therapeutic activities can be caused, for instance, by the binding of an anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which binds to CD117 expressed by a cell.

     Binding or affinity between a modified Fc region and a Fc gamma receptor can be determined using a variety of techniques known in the art, for example but not limited to, equilibrium methods (e.g., enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA); KinExA, Rathanaswami et al. Analytical Biochemistry, Vol. 373:52-60, 2008; or radioimmunoassay (RIA)), or by a surface plasmon resonance assay or other mechanism of kinetics-based assay (e.g., BIACORE® analysis or Octet™ analysis (forteBIO)), and other methods such as indirect binding assays, competitive binding assays fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), gel electrophoresis and chromatography (e.g., gel filtration). These and other methods may utilize a label on one or more of the components being examined and/or employ a variety of detection methods including but not limited to chromogenic, fluorescent, luminescent, or isotopic labels. A detailed description of binding affinities and kinetics can be found in Paul, W. E., ed., Fundamental Immunology, 4th Ed., Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia (1999), which focuses on antibody-immunogen interactions. One example of a competitive binding assay is a radioimmuno assay comprising the incubation of labeled antigen with the antibody of interest in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled antigen, and the detection of the antibody bound to the labeled antigen. The affinity of the antibody of interest for a particular antigen and the binding off-rates can be determined from the data by scatchard plot analysis. Competition with a second antibody can also be determined using radioimmunoassays. In this case, the antigen is incubated with antibody of interest conjugated to a labeled compound in the presence of increasing amounts of an unlabeled second antibody. 
     In one embodiment, an antibody having the Fc modifications described herein (e.g., D265C, L234A, L235A, and/or H435A) has at least a 70% decrease, at least a 80% decrease, at least a 90% decrease, at least a 95% decrease, at least a 98% decrease, at least a 99% decrease, or a 100% decrease in binding to a Fc gamma receptor relative to binding of the identical antibody comprising an unmodified Fc region to the Fc gamma receptor (e.g., as assessed by biolayer interferometry (BLI)). 
     Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that Fc region binding interactions with a Fc gamma receptor are essential for a variety of effector functions and downstream signaling events including, but not limited to, antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Accordingly, in certain aspects, an antibody comprising a modified Fc region (e.g., comprising a L234A, L235A, and/or a D265C mutation) has substantially reduced or abolished effector functions. Effector functions can be assayed using a variety of methods known in the art, e.g., by measuring cellular responses (e.g., mast cell degranulation or cytokine release) in response to the antibody of interest. For example, using standard methods in the art, the Fc-modified antibodies can be assayed for their ability to trigger mast cell degranulation in or for their ability to trigger cytokine release, e.g. by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. 
     In certain aspects a variant IgG Fc domain comprises one or more amino acid substitutions resulting in decreased or ablated binding affinity for an Fc.gamma.R and/or C1q as compared to the wild type Fc domain not comprising the one or more amino acid substitutions. Fc binding interactions are essential for a variety of effector functions and downstream signaling events including, but not limited to, antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Accordingly, in certain aspects, an antibody comprising a modified Fc region (e.g., comprising a L234A, L235A, and a D265C mutation) has substantially reduced or abolished effector functions. 
     Affinity to an Fc region can be determined using a variety of techniques known in the art, for example but not limited to, equilibrium methods (e.g., enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA); KinExA, Rathanaswami et al. Analytical Biochemistry, Vol. 373:52-60, 2008; or radioimmunoassay (RIA)), or by a surface plasmon resonance assay or other mechanism of kinetics-based assay (e.g., BIACORE™. analysis or Octet™ analysis (forteBIO)), and other methods such as indirect binding assays, competitive binding assays fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), gel electrophoresis and chromatography (e.g., gel filtration). These and other methods may utilize a label on one or more of the components being examined and/or employ a variety of detection methods including but not limited to chromogenic, fluorescent, luminescent, or isotopic labels. A detailed description of binding affinities and kinetics can be found in Paul, W. E., ed., Fundamental Immunology, 4th Ed., Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia (1999), which focuses on antibody-immunogen interactions. One example of a competitive binding assay is a radioimmunoassay comprising the incubation of labeled antigen with the antibody of interest in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled antigen, and the detection of the antibody bound to the labeled antigen. The affinity of the antibody of interest for a particular antigen and the binding off-rates can be determined from the data by scatchard plot analysis. Competition with a second antibody can also be determined using radioimmunoassays. In this case, the antigen is incubated with antibody of interest conjugated to a labeled compound in the presence of increasing amounts of an unlabeled second antibody. 
     Antibodies may be further engineered to further modulate antibody half-life by (e.g., relative to an antibody having an unmodified Fc region) introducing additional Fc mutations, such as those described for example in (Dall&#39;Acqua et al. (2006) J Biol Chem 281: 23514-24), (Zalevsky et al. (2010) Nat Biotechnol 28: 157-9), (Hinton et al. (2004) J Biol Chem 279: 6213-6), (Hinton et al. (2006) J Immunol 176: 346-56), (Shields et al. (2001) J Biol Chem 276: 6591-604), (Petkova et al. (2006) Int Immunol 18: 1759-69), (Datta-Mannan et al. (2007) Drug Metab Dispos 35: 86-94), (Vaccaro et al. (2005) Nat Biotechnol 23: 1283-8), (Yeung et al. (2010) Cancer Res 70: 3269-77) and (Kim et al. (1999) Eur J Immunol 29: 2819-25), and include positions 250, 252, 253, 254, 256, 257, 307, 376, 380, 428, 434 and 435. Exemplary mutations that may be made singularly or in combination are T250Q, M252Y, 1253A, S254T, T256E, P2571, T307A, D376V, E380A, M428L, H433K, N434S, N434A, N434H, N434F, H435A and H435R mutations. 
     Thus, in one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a mutation resulting in a decrease in half life. An antibody having a short half life may be advantageous in certain instances where the antibody is expected to function as a short-lived therapeutic, e.g., the conditioning step described herein where the antibody is administered followed by HSCs. Ideally, the antibody would be substantially cleared prior to delivery of the HSCs, which also generally express an antigen targeted by an ADC described herein, e.g., CD117, but are not the target of the ADC, unlike the endogenous stem cells. In one embodiment, the Fc regions comprise a mutation at position 435 (EU index according to Kabat). In one embodiment, the mutation is an H435A mutation. 
     In one embodiment, the antibody described herein has a half life of equal to or less than about 24 hours, a half life of equal to or less than about 22 hours, a half life of equal to or less than about 20 hours, a half life of equal to or less than about 18 hours, a half life of equal to or less than about 16 hours, a half life of equal to or less than about 14 hours, equal to or less than about 13 hours, equal to or less than about 12 hours, or equal to or less than about 11 hours. In one embodiment, the half life of the antibody is about 11 hours to about 24 hours; about 12 hours to about 22 hours; about 10 hours to about 20 hours; about 8 hours to about 18 hours; or about 14 hours to about 24 hours. 
     In some aspects, the Fc region comprises two or more mutations that confer reduced half-life and greatly diminish or completely abolish an effector function of the antibody. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a mutation resulting in a decrease in half-life and a mutation of at least one residue that can make direct contact with an FcγR (e.g., as based on structural and crystallographic analysis). In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a H435A mutation, a L234A mutation, and a L235A mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a H435A mutation and a D265C mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a H435A mutation, a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, and a D265C mutation. 
     In some embodiments, the anti-CD117 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is conjugated to a cytotoxin (e.g., anthracycline) by way of a cysteine residue in the Fc domain of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the cysteine residue is introduced by way of a mutation in the Fc domain of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. For instance, the cysteine residue may be selected from the group consisting of Cys118, Cys239, and Cys265. In one embodiment, the Fc region of the anti-CD117 antibody (or fragment thereof) comprises an amino acid substitution at amino acid 265 according to the EU index as in Kabat. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a D265C mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a D265C and H435A mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a D265C, a L234A, and a L235A mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a D265C, a L234A, a L235A, and a H435A mutation.

In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a S239C mutation. In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, a S239C mutation and a D265A mutation. In another embodiment, the Fc region comprises a S239C and H435A mutation. In another embodiment, the Fc region comprises a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, and S239C mutation. In yet another embodiment, the Fc region comprises a H435A mutation, a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, and S239C mutation. In yet another embodiment, the Fc region comprises a H435A mutation, a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, a S239C mutation and D265A mutation. 
     Notably, Fc amino acid positions are in reference to the EU numbering index unless otherwise indicated. 
     In some embodiments of these aspects, the cysteine residue is naturally occurring in the Fc domain of the anti-CD117 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. For instance, the Fc domain may be an IgG Fc domain, such as a human IgG1 Fc domain, and the cysteine residue may be selected from the group consisting of Cys261, Csy321, Cys367, and Cys425. 
     For example, in one embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 67 is modified to comprise a D265C mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 111). In another embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 67 is modified to comprise a D265C, L234A, and L235A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 112). In yet another embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 67 is modified to comprise a D265C and H435A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 113). In a further embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 67 is modified to comprise a D265C, L234A, L235A, and H435A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 114). 
     In regard to Antibody 55, in one embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 55 is modified to comprise a D265C mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 117). In another embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 55 is modified to comprise a D265C, L234A, and L235A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 118). In yet another embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 55 is modified to comprise a D265C and H435A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 119). In a further embodiment, the Fc region of Antibody 55 is modified to comprise a D265C, L234A, L235A, and H435A mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 120). 
     The Fc regions of any one of Antibody 54, Antibody 55, Antibody 56, Antibody 57, Antibody 58, Antibody 61, Antibody 66, Antibody 67, Antibody 68, or Antibody 69 can be modified to comprise a D265C mutation (e.g., as in SEQ ID NO: 123); a D265C, L234A, and L235A mutation (e.g., as in SEQ ID NO: 124); a D265C and H435A mutation (e.g., as in SEQ ID NO: 125); or a D265C, L234A, L235A, and H435A mutation (e.g., as in SEQ ID NO: 126). 
     The variant Fc domains described herein are defined according to the amino acid modifications that compose them. For all amino acid substitutions discussed herein in regard to the Fc region, numbering is always according to the EU index. Thus, for example, D265C is an Fc variant with the aspartic acid (D) at EU position 265 substituted with cysteine (C) relative to the parent Fc domain. Likewise, e.g., D265C/L234A/L235A defines a variant Fc variant with substitutions at EU positions 265 (D to C), 234 (L to A), and 235 (L to A) relative to the parent Fc domain. A variant can also be designated according to its final amino acid composition in the mutated EU amino acid positions. For example, the L234A/L235A mutant can be referred to as LALA. It is noted that the order in which substitutions are provided is arbitrary. 
     In one embodiment, the anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises variable regions having an amino acid sequence that is at least about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98% or about 99% identical to the SEQ ID Nos disclosed herein. Alternatively, the anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises CDRs comprising the SEQ ID Nos disclosed herein with framework regions of the variable regions described herein having an amino acid sequence that is at least about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98% or about 99% identical to the SEQ ID Nos disclosed herein. 
     In one embodiment, the anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises a heavy chain variable region and a heavy chain constant region having an amino acid sequence that is disclosed herein. In another embodiment, the anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain variable region and a light chain constant region having an amino acid sequence that is disclosed herein. In yet another embodiment, the anti-CD117 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises a heavy chain variable region, a light chain variable region, a heavy chain constant region and a light chain constant region having an amino acid sequence that is disclosed herein. 
     Methods of Identifying Antibodies 
     Provided herein are ADCs that may be used, for example, in conditioning methods for stem cell transplantation. In view of the disclosure herein, other anti-CD117 antibodies can be identified that can be used in the ADCs and methods of the present disclosure. 
     Methods for high throughput screening of antibody, or antibody fragment libraries for molecules capable of binding a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117 or CD45) can be used to identify and affinity mature antibodies useful for treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, and conditioning a patient (e.g., a human patient) in need of hematopoietic stem cell therapy as described herein. Such methods include in vitro display techniques known in the art, such as phage display, bacterial display, yeast display, mammalian cell display, ribosome display, mRNA display, and cDNA display, among others. The use of phage display to isolate ligands that bind biologically relevant molecules has been reviewed, for example, in Felici et al., Biotechnol. Annual Rev. 1:149-183, 1995; Katz, Annual Rev. Biophys. Biomol. Struct. 26:27-45, 1997; and Hoogenboom et al., Immunotechnology 4:1-20, 1998, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference as they pertain to in vitro display techniques. Randomized combinatorial peptide libraries have been constructed to select for polypeptides that bind cell surface antigens as described in Kay, Perspect. Drug Discovery Des. 2:251-268, 1995 and Kay et al., Mol. Divers. 1:139-140, 1996, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference as they pertain to the discovery of antigen-binding molecules. Proteins, such as multimeric proteins, have been successfully phage-displayed as functional molecules (see, for example, EP 0349578; EP 4527839; and EP 0589877, as well as Chiswell and McCafferty, Trends Biotechnol. 10:80-84 1992, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference as they pertain to the use of in vitro display techniques for the discovery of antigen-binding molecules). In addition, functional antibody fragments, such as Fab and scFv fragments, have been expressed in in vitro display formats (see, for example, McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-554, 1990; Barbas et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:7978-7982, 1991; and Clackson et al., Nature 352:624-628, 1991, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference as they pertain to in vitro display platforms for the discovery of antigen-binding molecules). These techniques, among others, can be used to identify and improve the affinity of antibodies that bind CD117 (e.g., GNNK+ CD117) that can in turn be used to deplete endogenous hematopoietic stem cells in a patient (e.g., a human patient) in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy. 
     In addition to in vitro display techniques, computational modeling techniques can be used to design and identify antibodies, and antibody fragments, in silico that bind a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117). For example, using computational modeling techniques, one of skill in the art can screen libraries of antibodies, and antibody fragments, in silico for molecules capable of binding specific epitopes, such as extracellular epitopes of this antigen. The antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, identified by these computational techniques can be used in conjunction with the therapeutic methods described herein, such as the cancer and autoimmune disease treatment methods described herein and the patient conditioning procedures described herein. 
     Additional techniques can be used to identify antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117) on the surface of a cell (e.g., a cancer cell, autoimmune cell, or hematopoietic stem cell) and that are internalized by the cell, for instance, by receptor-mediated endocytosis. For example, the in vitro display techniques described above can be adapted to screen for antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117) on the surface of a cancer cell, autoimmune cell, or hematopoietic stem cell and that are subsequently internalized. Phage display represents one such technique that can be used in conjunction with this screening paradigm. To identify antibodies, and fragments thereof, that bind a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117) and are subsequently internalized by cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells, one of skill in the art can adapt the phage display techniques described, for example, in Williams et al., Leukemia 19:1432-1438, 2005, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. For example, using mutagenesis methods known in the art, recombinant phage libraries can be produced that encode antibodies, antibody fragments, such as scFv fragments, Fab fragments, diabodies, triabodies, and  10 Fn3 domains, among others, or ligands that contain randomized amino acid cassettes (e.g., in one or more, or all, of the CDRs or equivalent regions thereof or an antibody or antibody fragment). The framework regions, hinge, Fc domain, and other regions of the antibodies or antibody fragments may be designed such that they are non-immunogenic in humans, for instance, by virtue of having human germline antibody sequences or sequences that exhibit only minor variations relative to human germline antibodies. 
     Using phage display techniques described herein or known in the art, phage libraries containing randomized antibodies, or antibody fragments, covalently bound to the phage particles can be incubated with a cell surface target antigen (e.g., CD117) antigen, for instance, by first incubating the phage library with blocking agents (such as, for instance, milk protein, bovine serum albumin, and/or IgG so as to remove phage encoding antibodies, or fragments thereof, that exhibit non-specific protein binding and phage that encode antibodies or fragments thereof that bind Fc domains, and then incubating the phage library with a population of hematopoietic stem cells. The phage library can be incubated with the target cells, such as cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells for a time sufficient to allow cell surface antigen specific antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, (e.g., CD117-specific antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof) to bind cell-surface antigen (e.g., sell-surface CD117) antigen and to subsequently be internalized by the cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells (e.g., from 30 minutes to 6 hours at 4° C., such as 1 hour at 4° C.). Phage containing antibodies, or fragments thereof, that do not exhibit sufficient affinity for one or more of these antigens so as to permit binding to, and internalization by, cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells can subsequently be removed by washing the cells, for instance, with cold (4° C.) 0.1 M glycine buffer at pH 2.8. Phage bound to antibodies, or fragments thereof, that have been internalized by the cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells can be identified, for instance, by lysing the cells and recovering internalized phage from the cell culture medium. The phage can then be amplified in bacterial cells, for example, by incubating bacterial cells with recovered phage in 2×YT medium using methods known in the art. Phage recovered from this medium can then be characterized, for instance, by determining the nucleic acid sequence of the gene(s) encoding the antibodies, or fragments thereof, inserted within the phage genome. The encoded antibodies, or fragments thereof, can subsequently be prepared de novo by chemical synthesis (for instance, of antibody fragments, such as scFv fragments) or by recombinant expression (for instance, of full-length antibodies). 
     An exemplary method for in vitro evolution of a cell surface antigen antibody (e.g., anti-CD117) antibodies for use with the compositions and methods described herein is phage display. Phage display libraries can be created by making a designed series of mutations or variations within a coding sequence for the CDRs of an antibody or the analogous regions of an antibody-like scaffold (e.g., the BC, CD, and DE loops of  10 Fn3 domains). The template antibody-encoding sequence into which these mutations are introduced may be, for example, a naive human germline sequence. These mutations can be performed using standard mutagenesis techniques known in the art. Each mutant sequence thus encodes an antibody corresponding to the template save for one or more amino acid variations. Retroviral and phage display vectors can be engineered using standard vector construction techniques known in the art. P3 phage display vectors along with compatible protein expression vectors can be used to generate phage display vectors for antibody diversification. 
     The mutated DNA provides sequence diversity, and each transformant phage displays one variant of the initial template amino acid sequence encoded by the DNA, leading to a phage population (library) displaying a vast number of different but structurally related amino acid sequences. Due to the well-defined structure of antibody hypervariable regions, the amino acid variations introduced in a phage display screen are expected to alter the binding properties of the binding peptide or domain without significantly altering its overall molecular structure. 
     In a typical screen, a phage library may be contacted with and allowed to bind one of the foregoing antigens or an epitope thereof. To facilitate separation of binders and non-binders, it is convenient to immobilize the target on a solid support. Phage bearing a cell surface-binding moiety can form a complex with the target on the solid support, whereas non-binding phage remain in solution and can be washed away with excess buffer. Bound phage can then liberated from the target by changing the buffer to an extreme pH (pH 2 or pH 10), changing the ionic strength of the buffer, adding denaturants, or other known means. 
     The recovered phage can then be amplified through infection of bacterial cells, and the screening process can be repeated with the new pool that is now depleted in non-binding antibodies and enriched for antibodies that bind a target antigen (e.g., CD117). The recovery of even a few binding phage is sufficient to amplify the phage for a subsequent iteration of screening. After a few rounds of selection, the gene sequences encoding the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof derived from selected phage clones in the binding pool are determined by conventional methods, thus revealing the peptide sequence that imparts binding affinity of the phage to the target. During the panning process, the sequence diversity of the population diminishes with each round of selection until desirable peptide-binding antibodies remain. The sequences may converge on a small number of related antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. An increase in the number of phage recovered at each round of selection is an indication that convergence of the library has occurred in a screen. 
     Another method for identifying antibodies includes using humanizing non-human antibodies that bind a cell surface target antigen (e.g., CD117), for instance, according to the following procedure. Consensus human antibody heavy chain and light chain sequences are known in the art (see e.g., the “VBASE” human germline sequence database; Kabat et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242, 1991; Tomlinson et al., J. Mol. Biol. 227:776-798, 1992; and Cox et al. Eur. J. Immunol. 24:827-836, 1994, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference as they pertain to consensus human antibody heavy chain and light chain sequences. Using established procedures, one of skill in the art can identify the variable domain framework residues and CDRs of a consensus antibody sequence (e.g., by sequence alignment). One can substitute one or more CDRs of the heavy chain and/or light chain variable domains of consensus human antibody with one or more corresponding CDRs of a non-human antibody that binds a cell surface antigen (e.g., CD117) as described herein in order to produce a humanized antibody. This CDR exchange can be performed using gene editing techniques described herein or known in the art. 
     To produce humanized antibodies, one can recombinantly express a polynucleotide encoding the above consensus sequence in which one or more variable region CDRs have been replaced with one or more variable region CDR sequences of a non-human antibody that binds a cell surface target antigen (e.g., CD117). As the affinity of the antibody for the hematopoietic stem cell antigen is determined primarily by the CDR sequences, the resulting humanized antibody is expected to exhibit an affinity for the hematopoietic stem cell antigen that is about the same as that of the non-human antibody from which the humanized antibody was derived. Methods of determining the affinity of an antibody for a target antigen include, for instance, ELISA-based techniques described herein and known in the art, as well as surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence anisotropy, and isothermal titration calorimetry, among others. 
     The internalizing capacity of an antibody, or fragment thereof, can be assessed, for instance, using radionuclide internalization assays known in the art. For example, antibodies, or fragments thereof, identified using in vitro display techniques described herein or known in the art can be functionalized by incorporation of a radioactive isotope, such as  18 F,  75 Br,  77 Br,  122 I,  123 I,  124 I,  125 I,  129 I,  131 I,  211 At,  67 Ga,  111 In,  99 Tc,  169 Yb,  186 Re,  64 Cu,  67 Cu,  177 Lu,  77 As,  72 As,  86 Y  90 Y,  89 Zr,  212 Bi  213 Bi, or  225 Ac. For instance, radioactive halogens, such as  18 F,  75 Br,  77 Br,  122 I,  123 I,  124 I,  125 I,  129 I,  131 I,  211 At, can be incorporated into antibodies, or fragments thereof, using beads, such as polystyrene beads, containing electrophilic halogen reagents (e.g., Iodination Beads, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.). Radiolabeled antibodies, or fragments thereof, can be incubated with cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells for a time sufficient to permit internalization (e.g., from 30 minutes to 6 hours at 4° C., such as 1 hour at 4° C.). The cells can then be washed to remove non-internalized antibodies, or fragments thereof, (e.g., using cold (4° C.) 0.1 M glycine buffer at pH 2.8). Internalized antibodies, or fragments thereof, can be identified by detecting the emitted radiation (e.g., γ-radiation) of the resulting cancer cells, autoimmune cells, or hematopoietic stem cells in comparison with the emitted radiation (e.g., γ-radiation) of the recovered wash buffer. 
     Antibodies may be produced using recombinant methods and compositions, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567. In one embodiment, isolated nucleic acid encoding an antibody described herein is provided. Such nucleic acid may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the VL and/or an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody (e.g., the light and/or heavy chains of the antibody). In a further embodiment, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such nucleic acid are provided. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising such nucleic acid is provided. In one such embodiment, a host cell comprises (e.g., has been transformed with): (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody. In one embodiment, the host cell is eukaryotic, e.g. a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell or lymphoid cell (e.g., Y0, NS0, Sp20 cell). In one embodiment, a method of making an anti-CLL-1 antibody is provided, wherein the method comprises culturing a host cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding the antibody, as provided above, under conditions suitable for expression of the antibody, and optionally recovering the antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium). 
     For recombinant production of an antibody, nucleic acid encoding an antibody, e.g., as described above, is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and/or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acid may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody). 
     Suitable host cells for cloning or expression of antibody-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells described herein. For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (See also Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B.K.C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003), pp. 245-254, describing expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antibody may be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction and can be further purified. 
     Vertebrate cells may also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that are adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells as described, e.g., in Graham et al., J. Gen Virol. 36:59 (1977)); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); mouse sertoli cells (TM4 cells as described, e.g., in Mather, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251 (1980)); monkey kidney cells (CV1); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI cells, as described, e.g., in Mather et al., Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci. 383:44-68 (1982); MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR-CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as Y0, NS0 and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003). 
     Pharmaceutical Compositions 
     ADCs described herein can be administered to a patient (e.g., a human patient suffering from an immune disease or cancer) in a variety of dosage forms. For instance, ADCs described herein can be administered to a patient suffering from an immune disease or cancer in the form of an aqueous solution, such as an aqueous solution containing one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for use with the compositions and methods described herein include viscosity-modifying agents. The aqueous solution may be sterilized using techniques known in the art. 
     Pharmaceutical formulations comprising ADCs as described herein are prepared by mixing such ADC with one or more optional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are generally nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include, but are not limited to: buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride; benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g. Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). 
     Methods of Use 
     ADCs described herein may be administered by a variety of routes, such as orally, transdermally, subcutaneously, intranasally, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraocularly, or parenterally. The most suitable route for administration in any given case will depend on the particular antibody, or antigen-binding fragment, administered, the patient, pharmaceutical formulation methods, administration methods (e.g., administration time and administration route), the patient&#39;s age, body weight, sex, severity of the diseases being treated, the patient&#39;s diet, and the patient&#39;s excretion rate. 
     The effective dose of an ADC, antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, described herein can range, for example from about 0.001 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per single (e.g., bolus) administration, multiple administrations, or continuous administration, or to achieve an optimal serum concentration (e.g., a serum concentration of 0.0001-5000 μg/mL) of the antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof. The dose may be administered one or more times (e.g., 2-10 times) per day, week, or month to a subject (e.g., a human) suffering from cancer, an autoimmune disease, or undergoing conditioning therapy in preparation for receipt of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In the case of a conditioning procedure prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the ADC, antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, can be administered to the patient at a time that optimally promotes engraftment of the exogenous hematopoietic stem cells, for instance, from 1 hour to 1 week (e.g., about 1 hour, about 2 hours, about 3 hours, about 4 hours, about 5 hours, about 6 hours, about 7 hours, about 8 hours, about 9 hours, about 10 hours, about 11 hours, about 12 hours, about 13 hours, about 14 hours, about 15 hours, about 16 hours, about 17 hours, about 18 hours, about 19 hours, about 20 hours, about 21 hours, about 22 hours, about 23 hours, about 24 hours, about 2 days, about 3 days, about 4 days, about 5 days, about 6 days, or about 7 days) or more prior to administration of the exogenous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. 
     As described herein, hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy can be administered to a subject in need of treatment so as to populate or re-populate one or more blood cell types. Hematopoietic stem cells generally exhibit multi-potency, and can thus differentiate into multiple different blood lineages including, but not limited to, granulocytes (e.g., promyelocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), erythrocytes (e.g., reticulocytes, erythrocytes), thrombocytes (e.g., megakaryoblasts, platelet producing megakaryocytes, platelets), monocytes (e.g., monocytes, macrophages), dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, and lymphocytes (e.g., NK cells, B-cells and T-cells). Hematopoietic stem cells are additionally capable of self-renewal, and can thus give rise to daughter cells that have equivalent potential as the mother cell, and also feature the capacity to be reintroduced into a transplant recipient whereupon they home to the hematopoietic stem cell niche and re-establish productive and sustained hematopoiesis. 
     Hematopoietic stem cells can thus be administered to a patient defective or deficient in one or more cell types of the hematopoietic lineage in order to re-constitute the defective or deficient population of cells in vivo, thereby treating the pathology associated with the defect or depletion in the endogenous blood cell population. The compositions and methods described herein can thus be used to treat a non-malignant hemoglobinopathy (e.g., a hemoglobinopathy selected from the group consisting of sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, Fanconi anemia, aplastic anemia, and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome). Additionally or alternatively, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat an immunodeficiency, such as a congenital immunodeficiency. Additionally or alternatively, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat an acquired immunodeficiency (e.g., an acquired immunodeficiency selected from the group consisting of HIV and AIDS). The compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat a metabolic disorder (e.g., a metabolic disorder selected from the group consisting of glycogen storage diseases, mucopolysaccharidoses, Gaucher&#39;s Disease, Hurlers Disease, sphingolipidoses, and metachromatic leukodystrophy). 
     Additionally or alternatively, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat a malignancy or proliferative disorder, such as a hematologic cancer, myeloproliferative disease. In the case of cancer treatment, the compositions and methods described herein may be administered to a patient so as to deplete a population of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy, in which case the transplanted cells can home to a niche created by the endogenous cell depletion step and establish productive hematopoiesis. This, in turn, can re-constitute a population of cells depleted during cancer cell eradication, such as during systemic chemotherapy. Exemplary hematological cancers that can be treated using the compositions and methods described herein include, without limitation, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphoid leukemia, multiple myeloma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma, as well as other cancerous conditions, including neuroblastoma. 
     Additional diseases that can be treated with the compositions and methods described herein include, without limitation, adenosine deaminase deficiency and severe combined immunodeficiency, hyper immunoglobulin M syndrome, Chediak-Higashi disease, hereditary lymphohistiocytosis, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, storage diseases, thalassemia major, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. 
     The antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, and conjugates described herein may be used to induce solid organ transplant tolerance. For instance, the compositions and methods described herein may be used to deplete or ablate a population of cells from a target tissue (e.g., to deplete hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow stem cell niche). Following such depletion of cells from the target tissues, a population of stem or progenitor cells from an organ donor (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells from the organ donor) may be administered to the transplant recipient, and following the engraftment of such stem or progenitor cells, a temporary or stable mixed chimerism may be achieved, thereby enabling long-term transplant organ tolerance without the need for further immunosuppressive agents. For example, the compositions and methods described herein may be used to induce transplant tolerance in a solid organ transplant recipient (e.g., a kidney transplant, lung transplant, liver transplant, and heart transplant, among others). The compositions and methods described herein are well-suited for use in connection the induction of solid organ transplant tolerance, for instance, because a low percentage temporary or stable donor engraftment is sufficient to induce long-term tolerance of the transplanted organ. 
     In addition, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat cancers directly, such as cancers characterized by cells that are CD117+. For instance, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat leukemia, particularly in patients that exhibit CD117+ leukemic cells. By depleting CD117+ cancerous cells, such as leukemic cells, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat various cancers directly. Exemplary cancers that may be treated in this fashion include hematological cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphoid leukemia, multiple myeloma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma. 
     Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that build up in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. AML is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age. The symptoms of AML are caused by replacement of normal bone marrow with leukemic cells, which causes a drop in red blood cells, platelets, and normal white blood cells. As an acute leukemia, AML progresses rapidly and may be fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. In one embodiment, the anti-CD117 ADCs described herein are used to treat AML in a human patient in need thereof. In certain embodiments the anti-CD117 ADC treatment depletes AML cells in the treated subjects. In some embodiments 50% or more of the AML cells are depleted. In other embodiments, 60% or more of the AML cells are depleted, or 70% or more of the AML cells are depleted, or 80% of more or 90% or more, or 95% or more of the AML cells are depleted. In certain embodiments the anti-CD117 ADC treatments is a single dose treatment. In certain embodiments the single dose anti-CD117 ADC treatment depletes 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95% or more of the AML cells. 
     In addition, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat autoimmune disorders. For instance, an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, can be administered to a subject, such as a human patient suffering from an autoimmune disorder, so as to kill a CD117+ immune cell. The CD117+ immune cell may be an autoreactive lymphocyte, such as a T-cell that expresses a T-cell receptor that specifically binds, and mounts an immune response against, a self antigen. By depleting self-reactive, CD117+ cells, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat autoimmune pathologies, such as those described below. Additionally or alternatively, the compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat an autoimmune disease by depleting a population of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy, in which case the transplanted cells can home to a niche created by the endogenous cell depletion step and establish productive hematopoiesis. This, in turn, can re-constitute a population of cells depleted during autoimmune cell eradication. 
     Autoimmune diseases that can be treated using the compositions and methods described herein include, without limitation, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Type 1 diabetes), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), human systemic lupus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), lymphocytic colitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Addison&#39;s disease, alopecia universalis, ankylosing spondylitisis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), aplastic anemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED), autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), autoimmune oophoritis, Balo disease, Behcet&#39;s disease, bullous pemphigoid, cardiomyopathy, Chagas&#39; disease, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Crohn&#39;s disease, cicatrical pemphigoid, coeliac sprue-dermatitis herpetiformis, cold agglutinin disease, CREST syndrome, Degos disease, discoid lupus, dysautonomia, endometriosis, essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, fibromyalgia-fibromyositis, Goodpasture&#39;s syndrome, Grave&#39;s disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), Hashimoto&#39;s thyroiditis, Hidradenitis suppurativa, idiopathic and/or acute thrombocytopenic purpura, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IgA neuropathy, interstitial cystitis, juvenile arthritis, Kawasaki&#39;s disease, lichen planus, Lyme disease, Meniere disease, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), myasthenia gravis, neuromyotonia, opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS), optic neuritis, Ord&#39;s thyroiditis, pemphigus vulgaris, pernicious anemia, polychondritis, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, polyarteritis nodosa, polyglandular syndromes, polymyalgia rheumatica, primary agammaglobulinemia, Raynaud phenomenon, Reiter&#39;s syndrome, rheumatic fever, sarcoidosis, scleroderma, Sjögren&#39;s syndrome, stiff person syndrome, Takayasu&#39;s arteritis, temporal arteritis (also known as “giant cell arteritis”), ulcerative colitis, collagenous colitis, uveitis, vasculitis, vitiligo, vulvodynia (“vulvar vestibulitis”), and Wegener&#39;s granulomatosis. 
     EXAMPLES 
     The following examples are put forth so as to provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a description of how the compositions and methods described herein may be used, made, and evaluated, and are intended to be purely exemplary of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of what the inventors regard as their invention. 
     Example 1. In Vitro Cell Killing Assay with of an Anti-CD117-PNU ADC 
     For in vitro cell killing assays using human CD34+ bone marrow cells, human CD34+ bone marrow cells were cultured for 5 days in the presence of an anti-CD117 antibody (CK6) conjugated to PNU (anti-CD117-PNU) to form an ADC. As a control, cells were alternatively incubated with a human IgG1 isotype-PNU ADC (i.e., Isotype-PNU). Live cell counts were determined for all cells or CD34+ CD90+ gated cells by flow cytometry. 
     The results in  FIGS. 1A-1C  indicate that the anti-CD117-PNU ADC was highly effective at killing primary human CD34+ CD90+ bone marrow cells in vitro. As shown in  FIG. 1C , there is a 1000-fold killing window for isotype:ADC.

     Example 2. In Vitro Cell Killing Assay 
     Anti-CD117 antibody CK6 (with Fc modification S239C) was conjugated to PNU, PBD, D4 (calicheamicin), or DM1 (duocarmycin). Each ADC was assessed in a cell killing assay in Kasumi-1 cells or primary human stem cells. 
     For in vitro killing assays using Kasumi-1 cells, Kasumi-1 cells were grown according to ATCC guidelines. More specifically, Kasumi-1 cells were cultured in the presence of the indicated CD117-ADC or the controls (Isotype ADC). Cell viability of all cells or CD117(−) cells was measured by CellTiter-Glo. For in vitro killing assays using human HSCs (i.e., isolated primary human CD34+ selected Bone Marrow Cells (BMCs)), human CD34+ BMCs were cultured with the indicated CD117-ADCs or the controls (Isotype-ADC). Live cell counts were determined for CD34+ CD90+ gated cells by flow cytometry. 
     The results for the Kasumi cell killing assay are shown in the below table (i.e., Table 4) and in  FIGS. 2A and 2B . As shown in  FIG. 2A , the anti-CD117 ADCs displayed different degrees of killing potency on Kasumi cells (order of potency from greatest to least: PNU&gt;PBD&gt;&gt;&gt;D4, DM). These results indicate that PNU demonstrates potent killing, while other toxins do not. As shown in  FIG. 2B , no activity was observed in CD117(−) cells.

     Example 3. In Vivo HSC Depletion in hNSG Mice with Anti-CD117 ADCs 
     To identify toxins with potent activity against hematopoietic stem cells, in vivo HSC depletion by an anti-CD117 conjugated to different toxins (PNU, PBD, 04 and DM1) was assessed in hNSG mice. Anti CD117-3100 was conjugated (OAR 2 ss) to PNU (DNA Topoisomeriase I/II inhibitor), PBD (DNA cross-linker), 04 (calicheamicin), or DM1 (duocarmycin). Standard humanized NSG female mice (Jackson Laboratories) were administered an anti-CD117 ADC intravenously (n=3 mice/group) at one of the dosages outlined in the below table. Blood and bone marrow was collected on day 7, day 14, or day 21 post-administration and assessed by flow cytometry (Blood FC: mCD45, hCD45, CD33, CD19, CD3; Bone Marrow FC: mCD45, hCD45, CD33, CD19, CD3, CD38, CD34, CD117, CD90, CD45RA).
