27 claims: 14 independent, 13 dependent

  1. 1
    An isolated polypeptide comprising a CM1-CM2 substrate comprising at least a first cleavable moiety (CM1) that is a substrate for at least one matrix metalloprotease (MMP) and at least a second cleavable moiety (CM2) that is a substrate for at least one serine protease (SP), wherein the CM1-CM2 substrate comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:2-7, 469-471, 489, 490, 521, and 522.
  2. 3
    An isolated polypeptide comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof (AB) that binds a target, and at least a first cleavable moiety (CM1) that is a substrate for at least one matrix metalloprotease (MMP) and at least a second cleavable moiety (CM2) that is a substrate for at least one serine protease (SP), wherein the CM1-CM2 substrate comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:2-7, 469-471, 489, 490, 521, and 522.
  3. 6
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 3-5, wherein the AB is linked to the CM1, and/or optionally wherein the AB is linked directly to the CM1, and/or optionally wherein the AB is linked to the CM1 via a linking peptide.
  4. 7
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 3-5, wherein the AB is linked to CM2, and/or optionally wherein the AB is linked directly to the CM2, and/or optionally wherein the AB is linked to the CM2 via a linking peptide.
  5. 8
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 3-7, wherein the MMP is MMP2, MMP9, or MMP14, and/or optionally wherein the SP is uPA or matriptase.
  6. 9
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 3-8, wherein the isolated polypeptide comprises a masking moiety (MM).
  7. 14
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 9-13, wherein the MM does not interfere or compete with the AB for binding to the target in a cleaved state.
  8. 15
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 3-14, wherein the isolated polypeptide comprises a light chain amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:420, 422, 432, 507-512, 539-561, and 562, and a heavy chain amino acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 67;and/or optionally wherein the isolated polypeptide comprises a light chain amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 449, 451, 499-504, 531-536, 559, and 560, and a heavy chain amino acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 108.
  9. 16
    The isolated polypeptide of any one of claims 9-15, wherein the MMP is MMP2, MMP9, or MMP14, and/or optionally wherein the SP is uPA or matriptase.
  10. 17
    A conjugated activatable antibody comprising the isolated polypeptide as in any of claims 3-16 conjugated to an agent;and/or optionally wherein the agent is conjugated to the AB via a linker;and/or optionally wherein the linker is a cleavable linker or a non-cleavable linker.
  11. 20
    A pharmaceutical composition comprising the isolated polypeptide as in any of claims 3-19 and a carrier.
  12. 22
    An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the isolated polypeptide as in any of claims 1-16.
  13. 25
    A method of manufacturing an activatable antibody that, in an activated state, binds a target, the method comprising:(a) culturing a cell comprising a nucleic acid construct that encodes the isolated polypeptide as in any of claims 3-16;and (b) recovering the activatable antibody.
  14. 26
    The isolated polypeptide as in any of claims 3-16, the conjugated activatable antibody as in any of claims 17-19 or the pharmaceutical composition as in any one of claims 20- 21 for use in treating, alleviating a symptom of, or delaying the progression of a disorder or disease.
