Abstract
Oncogenic mutations in the extracellular domain (ECD) of cell-surface receptors could serve as tumor-specific antigens that are accessible to antibody therapeutics. Such mutations have been identified in receptor tyrosine kinases including HER2. However, it is challenging to selectively target a point mutant, while sparing the wild-type protein. Here we developed antibodies selective to HER2 S310F and S310Y, the two most common oncogenic mutations in the HER2 ECD, via combinatorial library screening and structure-guided design. Cryogenic-electron microscopy structures of the HER2 S310F homodimer and an antibody bound to HER2 S310F revealed that these antibodies recognize the mutations in a manner that mimics the dimerization arm of HER2 and thus inhibit HER2 dimerization. These antibodies as T cell engagers selectively killed a HER2 S310F-driven cancer cell line in vitro, and in vivo as a xenograft. These results validate HER2 ECD mutations as actionable therapeutic targets and offer promising candidates toward clinical development.
