- ART blood cancer
- AML blood cancer
- ART multidrug prescription was interrupted, and AML was improved by concentrating on AML treatment, but since the HIV virus exploded due to the interruption of ART, ART multidrug prescription was performed again and HIV control was also possible Regained calmness.
- AML recurred again, he was treated as a bone marrow transplant from a person with CCR5 deficiency as a further measure (Non-patent Document 6). I suddenly came up with CCR5 failure. This molecule is one of the receptor molecules used to infect HIV viruses.
- the CCR5 molecule is one of the molecules that serve as a scaffold when HIV is infected.
- CD4 molecule is the main infection scaffold, and CCR5 will be the first to establish infection. So far, it has been found that some people do not develop AIDS even if they are genetically infected, but they have shown that the CCR5 molecule is genetically defective (Non-patent Document 7). So, for bone marrow transplantation, I borrowed the bone marrow of a person with CCR5 deficiency. Since then, despite the discontinuation of ART / HIV multidrug prescriptions, HIV virus cannot continue to be detected in the blood even after more than 4 years after bone marrow transplantation, resulting in clinical remission. For example, it is considered a “miracle of Berlin”.
- Non-patent Document 8 Non-patent Document 8
- This genetic manipulation method can handle both CCR5 and CXCR4 viruses, it should be considered a very special case. This is because the HIV-infected person has developed a blood cancer called AML. Performing such genetic manipulations for general infected persons is a procedure of autologous blood collection, CD34 cell separation, genetic manipulation, culture, and transfer, which is too complicated and very expensive.
- a method using CD34 cells from another person should be considered, it is not easy to step out considering the high risk of developing serious side effects such as GVHD associated with bone marrow transplantation.
- the treatments aimed at inhibiting the spread of infection include a drug called T-20 that targets the CD4 molecule and a drug called maraviroc that targets the CCR5 and has already been approved for use.
- Marabiroc cannot be prescribed unless it is confirmed that the virus is a type of virus that uses CCR5.
- the test takes a month and is not prescribed because it is expensive.
- many emergence of resistant strains against these drugs has already been reported.
- Non-patent Document 2 a regimen that recommends an ART prescription with a CD4 count of 200 / ml to 500 / ml is recommended (Non-patent Document 2) ). That is, in the conventional therapy, CD4-expressing cells are regarded as subjects to be preserved as much as possible. There are many patients who cannot afford it because they will cause AIDS if they do not continue to take drugs for the rest of their lives. Also, if you forget to take a drug, it becomes resistant to the drug immediately, so that the drugs that can be used are limited. Or many patients suffer from the side effects of the prescribed drug itself. Neither of them is a cure from HIV.

- the inventor of the present application noted that the Berlin miracle case described above utilizes the concept of destroying the molecule itself rather than inhibiting infection with the CCR5 molecule.
- CD4 positive cells are infected, so if you target cells that have CD4 molecules, you can destroy cells that have CD4 molecules not only in infected cells but also in uninfected cells.
- the virus can only die because a new infection cannot be established even if the virus is released in vivo by cell destruction. This situation can be understood as the experience of a Berlin patient.
- the present invention was completed by discovering that even in patients with type infection, it is possible to prevent the spread of HIV infection in the body and treat viral infection.
- the present invention provides a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for immunodeficiency virus infection comprising as an active ingredient a substance that destroys at least one of cells having CD4 molecules, cells having CCR5 molecules, and cells having CXCR4 molecules. provide.
- the present invention provides a method for treating or preventing infection by the virus in the subject, which comprises destroying a cell that possesses a molecule that serves as a scaffold for viral infection that exists in the body of the subject.
- the present invention not only acute and chronic infections but also latent retrovirus infection cases in which the virus is integrated into the host chromosome is expected to cure HIV, and from the burden of continuing to take antiviral drugs throughout the lifetime.
- the patient can be released.
- it has been understood as a factor that the number of CD4 cells decreases from viral infection to the onset of AIDS, so no one has attempted to actively destroy CD4 cells.
- the present invention aims to cure the virus in the direction opposite to the conventional understanding.
- the present invention by destroying the cells in the patient's body holding the molecule that the virus serves as a scaffold for infection, the cells themselves already infected with the virus are destroyed and the spread of the virus infection in the patient's body is prevented, Aim for the final cure of the virus. If the virus loses a foothold for infection, a new infection (acute infection) will not be established, and it will be impossible for the virus to enter non-infected cells even in an already infected patient. Will be suppressed and eventually the virus will be eliminated from the body. According to this method, all cells that possess the scaffold molecule are destroyed, so even in the case of latent retrovirus infections where the virus is infected and integrated into the chromosome, the latent infected cells themselves are destroyed. In addition, the infection destination of the virus released to the outside of the cell is lost and the growth of the virus is prevented, so that the virus infection can be completely cured. Therefore, the present invention is effective not only for acute and chronic infections of various viruses but also for retrovirus cases.
- Immunodeficiency viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus and simian immunodeficiency virus use CD4 molecule as the main infection scaffold, and further enter cells using CCR5 molecule or CXCR4 molecule. Therefore, by destroying at least one of CD4 molecule-carrying cells, CCR5 molecule-carrying cells and CXCR4 molecule-carrying cells in the patient's body, the virus-infected cells themselves can be destroyed by eliminating the infection scaffold of the immunodeficiency virus, It is possible to prevent infection of non-infected cells with viruses.
- the therapeutic or preventive agent for immunodeficiency virus infection contains a substance that destroys at least one of CD4 molecule-carrying cells, CCR5 molecule-carrying cells and CXCR4 molecule-carrying cells as an active ingredient. A plurality of such substances may be contained.
- the virus infection can be treated by destroying the CCR5 molecule-bearing cells, and if the patient uses the CXCR4 molecule, the CXCR4 molecule-bearing cells can be treated, but the virus is CCR5 type or CXCR4 It takes time and money to test for type (although both types of immunodeficiency virus can be administered to a patient if both a substance that destroys CCR5 molecule-bearing cells and a substance that destroys CXCR4 molecule-bearing cells are administered to the patient). Is possible).
- the CD4 molecule can be used as a scaffold for any type of immunodeficiency virus, so there is no need to examine the type of virus. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to deplete CD4 molecule-bearing cells in the patient, and the therapeutic or prophylactic agent of the present invention preferably contains a substance that specifically destroys CD4 molecule-bearing cells.
- an antibody against the molecule (more specifically, an antibody that recognizes an extracellular region of the molecule) can be preferably used.
- An anti-CD4 antibody may be used for destroying cells containing CD4 molecules
- an anti-CCR5 antibody may be used for destroying cells containing CCR5 molecules
- an anti-CXCR4 antibody may be used for destroying cells containing CXCR4 molecules.
- cytotoxic activities such as ADCC (antibody-dependent cytotoxicity) activity and CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity) activity.
- ADCC antibody-dependent cytotoxicity
- CDC complement-dependent cytotoxicity
- ADCC activity or CDC activity There is no problem in adopting either ADCC activity or CDC activity, but the stronger the cytotoxic activity, the smaller the amount used, the patient's physical burden and the risk of side effects can be reduced. high. For this reason, it is desired to use an antibody that has enhanced ADCC activity or CDC activity.

- the antibody that recognizes the CCR4 molecule obtained by this method has already been clinically effective because of its remarkable cell destruction function, and has developed from infection with a virus called HTLV-1. In order to apply it to the treatment of T cell leukemia, its manufacturing approval has been given in Japan. (Note that mogamulizumab treats T-cell leukemia by destroying T-cell leukemia lymphoma cells that express CCR4, not the HTLV-1 infection scaffold).
- ADCC activity examples include a method of converting a sugar chain present in the Fc site of an antibody.
- this method by adding GlcNAc of the antenna-type branched sugar chain part by GnT-III gene manipulation, core fucose addition is avoided (M. Schuster et al., Iproved effector functions of a therapeutic monoclonal Lewis Y-specific antibody by glycoform engineering, Cancer Res 2005; 65: 7934-7941.).

Abstract
Description
WO 2010/074266に記載された方法により、ADCC活性が増強された抗CD4ヒト化抗体IT1208(可変領域としてWO 2010/074266に記載のHV2及びLV0を含む、サブタイプはIgG1)を作製した。Biacore T100を用いて測定された抗体結合活性はKD(nM)<0.009であり、高い結合活性を有していた。
健常人由来PBMC 500μlとanti-CD4 mAb (IT1208、又はコントロール抗体)含有液100μlをバイアル中37℃/4時間/75 rpmという条件で反応させた後、フローサイトメトリー解析により反応液中に残存するCD4保有細胞数を検討した。コントロール抗体として、EP1951303B1に開示されているGenMab社のHuMax-CD4の配列を参考に作製したものを使用した。更なるコントロールとして、市販のanti-CD20抗体(リツキシマブ、全薬工業株式会社)を使用した。活性評価はフローサイトメーターで測定した。FITCで標識した抗CD3抗体を用いてCD3陽性細胞の検出を、またフィコエリスリンで標識した抗CD8抗体を用いてCD8陽性細胞の検出を行なった。CD8陽性細胞数に対するCD3陽性細胞数の割合(%)を算出し、CD4陽性細胞数を調べた(CD3陽性細胞数/CD8陽性細胞数の割合100%がCD4陽性細胞数ゼロを意味する)。
プロメガ社が市販している、ADCC活性測定キットのプロトコールに従い、次の条件でIT1208のADCC活性の測定を実施した。健常人由来PBMC12500個、anti-CD4mAb(IT1208)、およびプロメガキットに含まれているADCC Bioassay Effector cellの75000個を加え穏やかによく混ぜたのち、CO2インキュベーター中で37℃、6時間培養し、発光試薬Bio-Glo reagentを加え、室温で20分培養し、発光プレートリーダーで化学発光を測定した。
HIV感染者でART処方を受けている患者(末梢血中のHIVフリーウイルスコピー数が検出限界以下:< 50 copy/ml)の末梢血球を採取し、サンプルとして用いた。フローサイトメトリー解析(蛍光色素標識抗CD4抗体を用いた直接法、又は上記2と同様の抗CD3抗体及び抗CD8抗体を用いた間接法)によりサンプル中のCD4細胞数を測定後、フィトヘマグルチニンで刺激してHIVウイルスを増加させた。ウイルスコピー数が増加したことをPCRにより確認後、サンプルにanti-CD4 mAb(IT1208、又はコントロール抗体)を添加して60分間反応させ、細胞数及びHIV RNAコピー数を計測した。
HIV感染に用いられるヒト化マウスモデルの中で、最適と考えられるマウスモデル(Rag2-/-γc-/- (RAG-hu)マウス、Traggiai, E. et al., Development of a human adaptive immune system in cord blood cell-transplanted mice, Science, 2004; 304: 104-107.)を作成し、HIVウイルスを感染させた。更にその状態で従来使用されている抗HIV薬剤(saquinavir(中外製薬), lopinavir/ritonavir(Abbott Laboratories社) , atazanavir(Bristol-Myers-Squibb社))を投与し、血中からHIVウイルスコピーが検出できない状態まで飼育した。PCRによる従来のHIVウイルス検出法により血中ウイルスコピー数が検出限界以下になった個体にanti-CD4 mAb(IT1208)を投与し、観察した。
上記で調製したIT1208をサルに投与し(100mg/kgを1週間間隔で4回、静脈注射により投与)、サル体内のCD4保有細胞を枯渇させた。当該サルを半年間観察したが、異常は認められなかった。
上記6でIT1208を100mg/kgでの投与にてCD4保有細胞を枯渇させたサルにSIVウイルスを接種し、ウイルスの増殖を観察した。
