  • GPI glycosylphosphatidylinositol
  • CD73 is highly expressed in breast cancer, lung cancer and other different tumor cells, and the high expression of CD73 is positively correlated with poor prognosis. In breast cancer patients treated with the HER2/ErbB2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab, the high expression of CD73 is positively correlated with shorter disease-free survival. In addition, CD73 is also expressed in endothelial cells, fibroblasts, lymphocytes and myeloid cells in tumor tissues. The CD73 molecules on the cell membrane surface can be cleaved by phospholipase into the intercellular substance and blood. CD73 in intercellular substance and blood also has 5'-nucleotidase activity.
  • ATP and its metabolites AMP and adenosine play important roles in cell metabolism, signal transduction and immune homeostasis, among which adenosine has immunosuppressive activity.
  • Extracellular adenosine accumulates in cancerous tissues and constitutes an important mechanism for tumor immune escape. It has been shown that adenosine can regulate the proliferation and migration of many cancers, and has an immunosuppressive effect by regulating anti-tumor T cells (Zhang et al., Cancer Res 2010; 70: 6407-11).
  • an effective anti-CD73 molecule antibody is needed to efficiently inhibit the enzymatic activity function of the cell surface and soluble CD73 molecule, thereby blocking the conversion of AMP into adenosine, and releasing the inhibition of T cell proliferation and activity caused by the accumulation of adenosine, thereby To achieve the purpose of changing the tumor microenvironment, activating the tumor immune response, and inhibiting tumor growth.
  • anti-CD73 molecular antibodies have been developed in the prior art, but they also have their own shortcomings.
  • the anti-CD73 molecular antibody disclosed in patent US20180194858A1 has poor inhibition of soluble CD73 enzyme activity at high antibody concentrations. Effect (hook effect); the anti-CD73 molecular antibodies in patent WO2018013611A1 and patent WO2016055609A1 cannot completely block the enzymatic activity of CD73. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop some better anti-CD73 molecular antibodies with different antibody sequences, and the present invention meets these requirements.

Description

抗CD73抗体及其用途 技术领域
本发明总体上涉及免疫学和抗体工程领域。具体而言,本发明涉及特异性结合CD73的新型抗体或其抗原结合片段以及含有所述抗体或其抗原结合片段的组合物。此外,本发明涉及编码所述抗体或其抗原结合片段的核酸、包含所述多核苷酸的载体、包含所述核酸或载体的宿主细胞、包含所述抗体或其抗原结合片段的免疫缀合物和药物组合物。此外,本发明涉及这些抗体或其抗原结合片段在疾病的免疫治疗、预防和/或诊断上的应用。
背景技术
CD73(分化簇73),也称为胞外-5’-核苷酸酶(胞外-5’-NT),是一种70-kDa的糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定蛋白。CD73在ATP转化为腺苷的过程中起着极其重要的作用,与CD39联合能使ATP去磷酸化为腺苷,CD39主要使ATP转化为ADP和AMP,而CD73则使AMP去磷酸为腺苷。
CD73在乳腺癌,肺癌等不同肿瘤细胞中均具有高表达,并且CD73的高表达与较差的预后成正相关。在HER2/ErbB2单克隆抗体trastuzumab治疗的乳腺癌病人中,CD73的高表达与较短的无病生存期成正相关。另外,CD73在肿瘤组织中的内皮细胞、成纤维细胞、淋巴细胞和髓系细胞中也有表达。细胞膜表面的CD73分子可以被磷脂酶切割进入细胞间质和血液。细胞间质和血液中的CD73同样具有5’-核苷酸酶的活性。ATP及其代谢物AMP和腺苷在细胞代谢、信号传导和免疫稳态中具有重要的作用,其中腺苷具有免疫抑制活性。细胞外腺苷在癌性组织中积累并构成肿瘤免疫逃逸的重要机制。已经表明腺苷可调节许多癌症的增殖和迁移,并通过调节抗肿瘤T细胞而具有免疫抑制作用(Zhang等人,Cancer Res 2010;70:6407-11)。因此,需要有效的抗CD73分子抗体,以高效地抑制细胞表面和可溶性的CD73分子的酶活性功能,从而阻断AMP转化为腺苷,解除腺苷积累造成的T细胞增殖抑制和活性抑制,从而达到改变肿瘤微环境,激活肿瘤免疫反应,抑制肿瘤生长的目的。
现有技术中已经开发出一些抗CD73分子抗体,但同时也存在各自的缺陷,如专利US20180194858A1中公开的抗CD73分子抗体,其在高抗体浓度下出现了较差的对可溶性CD73酶活性的抑制作用(勾状效应);专利WO2018013611A1和专利WO2016055609A1中的抗CD73分子抗体不能完全阻断CD73的酶活性。因此,仍然有必要开发出一些更优的具有不同抗体序列的抗CD73分子抗体,本发明满足了这些要求。

术语“抗体”在本文中以最广意义使用并且涵盖多种抗体结构物,包括但不限于单克隆抗体、多克隆抗体、重组抗体、人源化抗体、嵌合抗体、多特异性抗体(例如,双特异性抗体)、单链抗体、完整抗体或其显示出所需的抗原结合活性的抗体片段。完整抗体通常将包含至少两条全长重链和两条全长轻链,但在某些情况下可包括较少的链,例如骆驼中天然存在的抗体可仅包含重链。
术语“全长抗体”和“完整抗体”在本文中可互换地用来指一种抗体,所述抗体具有基本上与天然抗体结构相似的结构或具有含有如本文定义的Fc区的重链。
术语“抗体片段”包括上述提及的抗体的任意部分,优选的是它们的抗原结合片段或其可变区。
术语“抗原结合片段”指与完整抗体不同的分子,其包含完整抗体的一部分且结合完整抗体所结合的抗原。抗原结合片段的例子包括但不限于Fv,Fab,Fab’,Fab’-SH,F(ab’) 2;双抗体(diabodies,dAb);线性抗体;单链抗体(例如scFv);单结构域抗体(单域抗体);双价或双特异性抗体的抗原结合片段;骆驼科抗体;和表现出所需的结合抗原(例如CD73)能力的其它片段。
术语“抗原”是指引发免疫应答的分子。这种免疫应答可能涉及抗体产生或特异性免疫细胞的活化,或两者兼有。技术人员将理解,任何大分子,包括基本上所有的蛋白质或肽,都可以用作抗原。此外,抗原可以衍生自重组或基因组DNA。
如本文所用,术语“表位”指抗原(例如,CD73)中与抗体分子特异性相互作用的部分。
如本文所用,术语“单克隆抗体”指具有单一分子组成的抗体分子的制备物(即,它们由同一种免疫细胞产生,这些免疫细胞都是单个亲本细胞的克隆,因此这些分子都是相同的)。单克隆抗体或其抗原结合片段可以例如通过杂交瘤技术、重组技术、噬菌体展示技术、合成技术例如CDR嫁接、或此类或其它本领域已知的技术的组合来产生。
如本文所用,术语“结合”和“特异性结合”意指抗体的结合作用对抗原是选择性的,并且可以与不想要的或非特异的相互作用区别开。抗体与特定抗原结合的能力可以通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)、表面等离子共振法(SPR)或生物膜层光学干涉技术(ForteBio)或本领域已知的其它常规结合测定法测定。作为本发明的实施例,指抗体或其抗原结合片段在体外测定法中,优选地在采用纯化的野生型抗原的生物膜层光学干涉测量中与抗原表位结合。在某些实施方案中,在抗体或其抗原结合片段优选地识别蛋白质和/或大分子的复杂混合物中其靶抗原时,将抗体或其抗原结合片段称作特异性结合抗原。
取决于其重链恒定区的氨基酸序列,将抗体以“类”划分:IgA、IgD、IgE、IgG和IgM,并且这些类别中的几种可以进一步划分成亚类,如,IgG1、IgG2、IgG3和IgG4、IgA1以及IgA2。对应于不同抗体类的重链恒定区分别称作α、δ、ε、γ和μ。可以在全部五个抗体类中找到的轻链恒定区(CL)称作κ和λ。在全长轻链和重链内,通常可变区和恒定区由约12个或更多个氨基酸的“J”区连接,且重链还包括约10个以上氨基酸的“D”区。参见例如Fundamental Immunology,Ch.7(Paul,W.编辑,第二版,Raven Press,N.Y.(1989))(其为所有目的以其整体在此引作参考)。每一轻链/重链对的可变区通常形成抗原结合位点。
术语“Fc区”在本文中用于定义免疫球蛋白重链的C端区域,所述区域包含至少一部分的恒定区。该术语包括天然序列Fc区和变体Fc区。在某些实施方案中,人IgG重链Fc区通常从Cys226或Pro230延伸至重链的羰基端。然而,Fc区的C端赖氨酸(Lys447)可以存在或者可以不存在。除非另外说明,Fc区或恒定区中的氨基酸残基的编号是根据EU编号系统,其也被称为EU索引,如在Kabat等,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,5 thEd.Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD,1991中所述。
术语“可变区”或“可变结构域”是指参与抗体与抗原结合的抗体重或轻链的结构域。天然抗体的重链和轻链的可变结构域通常具有相似的结构,其中每个结构域包含四个保守的框架区(FR)和三个互补决定区(参见,例如,Kindt等Kuby Immunology,6 th ed.,W.H.Freeman and Co.91页(2007))。单个VH或VL结构域可以足以给予抗原结合特异性。此外,可以使用来自与特定抗原结合的抗体的VH或VL结构域分别筛选互补VL或VH结构域的文库来分离结合所述抗原的抗体,参见,例如,Portolano等,J.Immunol.150:880-887(1993);Clarkson等,Nature 352:624-628(1991)。
可变区通常由三个高变区及相连的相对保守的四个构架区(FR)组成,所述高变区也被称为互补决定区或CDR。通常通过构架区定位(align)来自每对的两条链的CDR,所述CDR可结合特异性表位。两条轻链和重链可变区从N-末端到C-末端通常包含结构域FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3和FR4。
“互补决定区”或“CDR区”或“CDR”或“高变区”(在本文中与超变区“HVR”可以互换使用),是抗体可变结构域中在序列上高度可变并且形成在结构上确定的环(“超变环”)和/或含有抗原接触残基(“抗原接触点”)的区域。CDR主要负责与抗原表位结合。重链和轻链的CDR从N-端开始顺序编号,通常称作CDR1、CDR2和CDR3。位于抗体重链可变结构域内的CDR也称作HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3,而位于抗体轻链可变结构域内的CDR则称作LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3。在一个给定的轻链可变区或重链可变区氨基酸序列中,可以采用本领域公知的多种方案确定其CDR序列,例如:基于抗体的三维结构和CDR环的拓扑学的Chothia(Chothia等人.(1989)Nature 342:877-883,Al-Lazikani等人,“Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”,Journal of Molecular Biology,273,927-948(1997)),基于抗体序列可变性的Kabat(Kabat等人,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第4版,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,National Institutes of Health(1987)),AbM(University of Bath),Contact(University College London),国际ImMunoGeneTics database(IMGT)(国际免疫遗传学信息系统,万维网imgt.cines.fr/),以及基于利用大量晶体结构的近邻传播聚类(affinity propagation clustering)的North CDR定义(North等,“A New Clustering of Antibody CDR Loop Conformations”,Journal of Molecular Biology,406,228-256(2011))。
例如,使用Kabat和Chothia等编号的CDR区域的不同定义范围。
Figure PCTCN2021101233-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2021101233-appb-000002
CDR也可以基于与参考CDR序列具有相同的Kabat编号位置而确定。
除非另有说明,否则在本发明中,术语“CDR”或“CDR序列”涵盖以上述任一种方式确定的CDR序列。
除非另有说明,否则在本发明中,当提及抗体可变区中的残基位置(包括重链可变区残基和轻链可变区残基)时,是指根据Kabat编号系统(Kabat等人,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,5 th Ed.Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,Md.(1991))的编号位置。
在一个实施方案中,本发明抗体的HCDR1通过AbM规则确定边界,HCDR3通过IMGT规则确定边界,HCDR2和LCDR1-3通过Kabat规则确定边界,例如下文表A所示。在一个实施方案中,本发明抗体的CDR1通过Kabat规则确定边界,例如下文表D所示。
然而,应该注意,基于不同的指派系统获得的同一抗体的可变区的CDR的边界可能有所差异。即不同指派系统下定义的同一抗体可变区的CDR序列有所不同。因此,在涉及用本发明定义的具体CDR序列限定抗体时,所述抗体的范围还涵盖了这样的抗体,其可变区序列包含所述的具体CDR序列,但是由于应用了不同的方案(例如不同的指派系统规则或组合)而导致其所声称的CDR边界与本发明所定义的具体CDR边界不同。
具有不同特异性(即,针对不同抗原的不同结合位点)的抗体具有不同的CDR。然而,尽管CDR在抗体与抗体之间是不同的,但是CDR内只有有限数量的氨基酸位置直接参与抗原结合。使用Kabat,Chothia,AbM、Contact和North方法中的至少两种,可以确定最小重叠区域,从而提供用于抗原结合的“最小结合单位”。最小结合单位可以是CDR的一个子部分。正如本领域技术人员明了,通过抗体的结构和蛋白折叠,可以确定CDR序列其余部分的残基。因此,本发明也考虑本文所给出的任何CDR的变体。例如,在一个CDR的变体中,最小结合单位的氨基酸残基可以保持不变,而根据Kabat或Chothia定义的其余CDR残基可以被保守氨基酸残基替代。
术语“抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性”或“ADCC”指其中结合到某些细胞毒性细胞(例如NK细胞,嗜中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞)上存在的Fc受体(FcR)上的分泌型免疫球蛋白使得这些细胞毒性效应细胞能够特异性结合携带抗原的靶细胞,随后用细胞毒素杀死靶细胞的细胞毒性形式。介导ADCC的主要细胞NK细胞只表达FcγRIII,而单核细胞表达FcγRI,FcγRII和FcγRIII。Ravetch和 Kinet,Annu.Rev.Immunol.9:457-92(1991)第464页表3总结了造血细胞上的FcR表达。为了评估目的分子的ADCC活性,可进行体外ADCC测定法,诸如美国专利No.5,500,362或5,821,337或美国专利No.6,737,056中所记载的。可用于此类测定法的效应细胞包括PBMC和NK细胞。或者/另外,可在体内评估目的分子的ADCC活性,例如在动物模型中,诸如Clynes等人,PNAS(USA)95:652-656(1998)中所披露的。本文实施例中提供了用于评估ADCC活性的一种例示性测定法。

实施例
实施例1.本发明抗CD73抗体的获得、表达和纯化
1. 基于酵母的抗体展示文库获得亲本抗体:
采用Adimab公司的基于酵母的抗体展示文库,按照现有的方法(WO2009036379;WO 2010105256;W02012009568)进行扩增,其中每个库的多样性达到1×10 9。简言之,前两轮的筛选使用Miltenyi公司的MACS系统进行磁性激活细胞分选。首先,将文库的酵母细胞(~1×10 10细胞/文库)分别在FACS洗涤缓冲液中(磷酸盐缓冲液,含有0.1%牛血清蛋白)室温孵育15分钟,缓冲液中含有100nM生物素标记的人CD73抗原(R&D Systems,5795-EN)。使用50ml预冷的FACS洗涤缓冲液洗一次,再用40ml相同洗涤缓冲液重悬细胞,并加入500μl链霉素微珠(Miltenyi LS)于4℃孵育15分钟。室温,1000rpm离心5min弃去上清后用5ml FACS洗涤缓冲液重悬细胞,将细胞溶液加到Miltenyi LS柱中。加样完成后,用FACS洗涤缓冲液洗柱3次,每次3ml。从磁性区域取下Miltenyi LS柱,用5ml生长培养基洗脱,收集洗脱的酵母细胞 并在37℃过夜生长。
使用流式细胞仪进行下一轮的分选:将经过MACS系统筛选获得的大约1×10 8的酵母细胞用FACS缓冲液洗三次,与含有低浓度生物素(100 -1nM)标记的人CD73抗原在室温下培养。弃去培养液,细胞用FACS洗涤缓冲液洗两次之后,将细胞与LC-FITC(FITC标记山羊抗人免疫球蛋白F(ab’)kappa链抗体,Southern Biotech)(1∶100稀释)混合,并与SA-633(链霉亲和素-633,Molecular Probes)(1∶500稀释)或SA-PE(链霉亲和素-藻红蛋白,Sigma)(1∶50稀释)试剂混合,4℃下培养15分钟。用预冷的FACS洗涤缓冲液冲液两次,并重悬于0.4ml缓冲液中,将细胞转移到带滤器的分离管中。使用FACSARIA(BD Biosciences)分选细胞。
将通过筛选获得的表达抗CD73抗体的酵母细胞在30℃下震荡诱导48小时以表达抗CD73的抗体。诱导结束之后,室温1300rpm离心10min去除酵母细胞,收获上清液。使用Protein A对上清液中的抗CD73抗体进行纯化,pH2.0醋酸溶液洗脱,收获抗CD73抗体,经检测,抗体纯度>95%。
本次筛选共获得6株抗人CD73的抗体,分别命名为:ADI-34086,ADI-34101,ADI-34071,ADI-34095,ADI-34104和AD-34074。所述抗体的特性参见下文表1。
2.抗人CD73抗体的亲和力成熟:
为了获得更高亲和力的抗人CD73抗体,我们通过以下方法对抗体ADI-34086,ADI-34101,ADI-34071,ADI-34095,ADI-34104和AD-34074进行了优化。
VHmut筛选
该方法通过采用常规的错配PCR方法向抗体重链区域引入突变。具体而言,在PCR过程中,通过使用1uM高突变的碱基类似物dPTP和8-oxo-dGTP,将碱基错配概率提高至约0.01bp。
获得的错配PCR的产物通过同源重组的方法构建入含有重链恒定区的载体中。通过在包括CD73抗原滴度、未标记抗原竞争以及使用母抗体竞争的筛选压力下,我们获得了库容量为1×10 7的次级库。通过FACS方法进行了3轮成功筛选。
CDRH1/CDRH2筛选
把VHmut方法获得的子代抗体的重链CDR3基因构建入1×10 8多样性的CDRH1/CDRH2基因库中,并对其进行了3轮筛选。第一轮使用MACS方法,而第二、三轮使用FACS方法,对抗体抗原结合物进行亲和力加压,从而筛选出最高亲和力的抗体。
经过以上亲和力成熟过程,我们获得了相对于亲本抗体,亲和力提高的12株抗人CD73单克隆抗体,分别命名为:ADI-37503,ADI-37504,ADI-37505,ADI-37506,ADI-37507,ADI-37532,ADI-37513,ADI-37522,ADI-37497,ADI-37496,ADI-37542和ADI-37543。
由此,本发明示例的18个抗体的CDR区、轻链可变区和重链可变区、轻链和重链的氨基酸序列以及相应序列编号在本申请的表A、B、D以及序列表中列出。本发明示例的抗体是IgG4形式。

1. 本发明抗CD73抗体逆转CD73对CD4+T细胞增殖的抑制
CD73抗体分子可以抑制CD73酶活性,阻断AMP转换为具有免疫抑制功能的腺苷,从而逆转腺苷积累造成的T细胞增殖抑制。基于这一原理,本研究在CD4+T细胞培养体系中加入IL-2和CD3/CD28 dynabeads促进T细胞增殖,进一步加入AMP抑制T细胞增殖。在此体系中,可以评价不同CD73抗体分子促进T细胞增殖的活性。具体实验过程为:(1)复苏PBMC细胞并培养过夜,次日使用CD4+T细胞富集试剂盒(stem cell,19052)按照制造商的说明分离纯化获得CD4+T细胞。(2)使用cell-trace far red活细胞染色试剂盒(Thermo,C34564)按照制造商的说明对CD4+T细胞进行标记。(3)将20ng/ml的IL-2(R&D,202-IL-500)和珠∶细胞=1∶5 CD3/CD28 dynabeads(Gibco,11131D)与标记好的CD4+T细胞进行混匀,再将其转移到96孔圆底板中静置培养1小时。(4)分别将0-20nM梯度稀释的候选抗体分子加入到细胞中,混合孵育30分钟。(5)配制AMP溶液(Sigma,01930)加入到CD4+T细胞中,终浓度为300uM,混匀后放入培养箱培养3天。(6)流式细胞术(BD,Celesta)检测增殖细胞比例。(7)绘制细胞增殖曲线,比较其EC50及曲线峰值。

2. 本发明CD73抗体逆转CD73对CD8+T细胞增殖的抑制
利用本发明的抗体ADI-37505检测CD73分子在CD8+T细胞表面的表达情况。具体实验过程为:(1)按照常规方法复苏人外周血单核细胞。(2)使用20nM的ADI-37505抗体和CD3(Biolegend)、CD8(Biolegend)抗体与外周血单核细胞于4℃孵育30分钟。PBS清洗三次后,使用PE标记的羊抗人IgG的荧光二抗(Southern biotech)与之4℃孵育30分钟。PBS再清洗三次后,使用100ul PBS重悬人外周血单核细胞。(3)使用流式细胞仪(BD)检测。结果如图7所示,在所检测人外周血单核细胞CD8+T细胞群体,49.5%的CD8+T细胞表面表达CD73分子。
CD73抗体可以抑制CD73酶活性,阻断AMP转换为具有免疫抑制功能的腺苷,从而逆转腺苷积累造成的T细胞增殖抑制。基于这一原理,本研究在CD8+T细胞(5×10 4/well)培养体系中加入20ng/ml IL-2和1×10 4CD3/CD28 dynabeads:cells促进CD8+T细胞增殖,进一步加入1000μM AMP抑制T细胞增殖。在此体系中,可以评价不同CD73抗体分子促进T细胞增殖的活性。具体实验过程为:(1)按照常规方法复苏PBMC细胞并过夜培养,次日使用CD8+T细胞富集试剂盒(stem cell,19053)按照制造商的说明分离纯化获得CD8+T细胞。(2)使用cell-trace far red活细胞染色试剂盒(Thermo)按照制造商的说明对CD8+T细胞进行标记。(3)将20ng/ml的IL-2(R&D,202-IL-500)和磁珠∶细胞=1∶5 CD3/CD28 dynabeads(Gibco,11131D)与标记好的CD8+T细胞进行混匀,再将其转移到96孔圆底板中静置培养1小时。(4)分别将0-100nM梯度稀释的候选抗体分子加入到细胞中,混合孵育30分钟。(5)配制AMP溶液(Sigma,01930)加入到CD8+T细胞中,终浓度为1000μM,混匀后放入培养箱培养3天。(6)流式细胞术(BD,Celesta)检测增殖细胞比例。(7)绘制细胞增殖曲线,比较各个抗体的EC50及曲线峰值。
结果如图8所示。本发明抗体ADI-37505、ADI-37506及对照抗体Medimmune Omab均可逆转AMP/腺 苷对CD8+T细胞增殖的抑制。本发明抗体促进CD8+T细胞增殖的EC50低于对照抗体Omab,并且ADI-37505、ADI-37506处理组细胞最大增殖比例高于对照抗体Omab。因此,ADI-37505、ADI-37506抗体促进CD8+T细胞增殖活性优于对照抗体Omab,其中阳性对照为CD3/CD28+IL2,阴性对照为CD3/CD28+IL2+AMP。

本发明使用抗原特异性T细胞召回的方法评估ADI-37505与抗PD-1抗体(信迪利,信达)联用对人记忆T细胞的激活作用,详细实验过程如下:按照常规方法复苏感染过腮腺炎或接种过腮腺炎疫苗的供者来源的外周血单核细胞;随即加入不同浓度(起始浓度10nM,三倍梯度稀释)的抗CD73抗体和终浓度为10nM的抗PD-1抗体信迪利,再向培养体系中加入终浓度为1000μM的AMP(Sigma,01930)和2μg/Ml的Mumps(NOVUS,NBP2-62509),混匀后培养5天,使用细胞因子检测试剂盒IFN-γ(Cisbio,62HIFNGPEG)测定细胞培养上清中细胞因子的分泌量,根据细胞因子表达量评估T细胞激活程度。
结果如图10所示,PBMC与Mumps共同孵育,能够使T细胞活化,分泌IFN-γ细胞因子。当体系中加入AMP,在CD73的作用下,生成的腺苷抑制T细胞的活性。本发明抗体ADI-37505在不同浓度下均能够解除腺苷对T细胞激活的抑制作用,使T细胞活化,分泌细胞因子;与抗PD-1抗体联用,可进一步增强T细胞活化。
