Definitions
- the invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to bispecific antibodies and applications thereof.
- Cancer immunotherapy is a revolutionary breakthrough in cancer treatment in recent years, and it is a research boom in the field of bioscience. With the approval of more new antibody drugs, the prospect of cancer treatment has been transformed from a supplementary element of traditional therapy to a central and standard one. Cancer treatment options. On the road of targeting immune checkpoints (Checkpoints) to activate T cell function, thereby improving the ability of the acquired immune system to overcome cancer, the development of antibody therapies around the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway has become a leading role in the field. hot spot.
- Checkpoints immune checkpoints
- programmed death-ligand 1 When the body is inflamed or infected, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) can be induced to be expressed on hematopoietic, endothelial or epithelial cells, and by binding to T cells and B cells and programmed death 1 (PD-1) on monocytes to suppress the immune response.
- the cytoplasmic region of PD-1 contains two tyrosine-based signaling domains, ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine Inhibitory Motif) and ITSM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine Switching Motif).
- PD-L1 is overexpressed in many cancers including a wide variety of solid tumors as well as hematological tumors such as bladder, breast, colon, lung, melanoma, ovarian, gastric, thyroid, primary Mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma and classic Hodgkin lymphoma.
- PD-L1 which is overexpressed on tumor cells, binds to PD-1 on T cells, activates the ITIM domain of PD-1, causes T cell dysfunction and exhaustion, and prevents cytotoxic T cells from effectively targeting tumor cells, Sending a "don't find me" signal to the immune system enables tumor cells to acquire adaptive immune tolerance, thereby promoting tumor invasion and resulting in poor prognosis.
- the innate immune system is the first nonspecific line of defense against infection and malignant cell transformation.
- monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells function as antigen presenting cells (APCs) through phagocytosis.
- APCs antigen presenting cells
- the ability of APCs to engulf tumor cells by phagocytosis is an indispensable bridge between innate and adaptive immunity.
- Targeting checkpoints that regulate phagocytosis (Phagocytosis checkpoints, such as CD47-SIRP ⁇ ), provides a new avenue for developing cancer immunotherapies.
- CD47 integrated protein, IAP, CD47
- IAP interleukin associated protein
- SIRP ⁇ Signal regulatory protein ⁇
- CD47 is highly expressed in almost all tumor cells, such as thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, B cell and T cell acute leukemia , non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, etc., and CD47 overexpression is associated with poor clinical prognosis.
- tumor cells such as thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, B cell and T cell acute leukemia , non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, etc.
- BsAbs Bispecific monoclonal antibodies
- bispecific antibodies have also ushered in a research and development boom. Many bispecific antibodies are in the clinical development stage, and 3 bispecific antibodies have been approved for marketing.
- the European Union approved the first therapeutic bispecific antibody, Catumaxomab (targeting CD3 and EpCAM), with the structure Triomab, for the treatment of cancerous ascites.
- Catumaxomab targeting CD3 and EpCAM
- Triomab Triomab
- bispecific antibodies have the advantages of high specificity, strong targeting, and low dosage. They are not only of great significance in the clinical treatment of tumors, but also have made breakthroughs in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and have a very broad application. prospect.
- PD-L1 and CD47 proteins are simultaneously overexpressed on tumor cells. Through the PD-L1/PD1 and CD47/SIRP ⁇ pathways, they escape the monitoring of the innate immune system and acquire adaptive immune tolerance. Therefore, blocking the PD-L1/PD1 and CD47/SIRP ⁇ pathways at the same time and activating the innate and adaptive immune systems may exert a better tumor suppressing effect.

Abstract
双特异抗体及其应用,该双特异抗体或抗原结合片段可以结合两个或更多个抗原,或同一抗原的两个或更多个表位,可以用于治疗各种疾病,比如炎性疾病、自身免疫性疾病、癌症或脊髓损伤,也可以用于相关疾病的诊断和预后。
Description
本发明属于生物医药领域,尤其涉及双特异抗体及其应用。
癌症免疫疗法是近年来癌症治疗上的革命性突破,是生物科学领域的研究热潮,随着更多的抗体新药批准上市,已将癌症治疗的前景从传统疗法的补充要素转变为中心和标准的癌症治疗方案。在以免疫检查点(Checkpoint)为靶点,激活T细胞功能,从而提高获得性免疫系统能力来攻克癌症这一道路上,围绕PD-L1/PD-1途径开发抗体疗法,已成为本领域的热点。当机体发生炎症或是受到感染时,程序性死亡配体1(Programmed death-ligand 1,PD-L1)能够被诱导表达在造血、内皮或上皮细胞上,通过结合到表达于T细胞、B细胞和单核细胞的上的程序性死亡受体1(Programmed death 1,PD-1)来抑制免疫应答。PD-1胞质区含有两个基于酪氨酸的信号转导结构域ITIM(免疫受体酪氨酸抑制基序)和ITSM(免疫受体酪氨酸转换基序)。PD-L1在许多癌症中过表达,所述癌症包括多种多样的实体瘤以及血液瘤,诸如膀胱癌、乳腺癌、结肠癌、肺癌、黑色素瘤、卵巢癌、胃癌、甲状腺癌、原发性纵膈大B细胞淋巴瘤和典型霍奇金淋巴瘤。过表达在肿瘤细胞上的PD-L1,与T细胞上的PD-1结合,激活PD-1的ITIM结构域,导致T细胞功能障碍和衰竭,阻止细胞毒性T细胞有效地靶向肿瘤细胞,向免疫系统发出“don’t find me”信号,使肿瘤细胞获得适应性免疫耐受,从而促进肿瘤侵袭,造成不良的预后。
固有免疫系统是抵御感染和恶性细胞转化的第一道非特异性防线。在固有免疫系统中,单核细胞、巨噬细胞以及树突状细胞通过吞噬作用(phagocytosis),起抗原提呈细胞(antigen presenting cells,APCs)的作用。而APCs通过吞噬作用吞没肿瘤细胞的能力是连接先天免疫和适应性免疫不可或缺的桥梁。靶向调节吞噬作用的检查点(Phagocytosis checkpoints,如CD47-SIRPα),提供了一条开发癌症免疫疗法的新途径。CD47(integrin associated protein,IAP,CD47)在正常细胞表面广泛表达,通过与巨噬细胞表面的SIRPα(Signal regulatory protein α,SIRPα)结合,释放一种“don’t eatme”的信号,从而保护健康细胞不被巨噬细胞“吃掉”。癌细胞利用这一机制,在其表面过量表达CD47,使巨噬细胞把它们当作“正常细胞”,从而逃脱固有免疫的监 控,逃避巨噬细胞介导的吞噬攻击。已有研究证实,几乎所有的肿瘤细胞都高表达CD47,诸如甲状腺癌、卵巢癌、前列腺癌、子宫颈癌、膀胱癌、头颈癌、胃癌、急性髓细胞性白血病、B细胞和T细胞急性白血病、非霍奇金淋巴瘤等,且CD47过表达与临床预后差有关。
单抗免疫疗法为部分患者带来了持久的生存益处,实现了患者治愈的希望。随着对癌症和其他多种疾病的深入研究,认识到疾病的发生和发展由多种信号通路和机制参与,而单抗单一的刺激或抑制无法达到彻底杀伤肿瘤的效果,使得单药治疗响应率有限。双特异抗体(bispecific monoclonal antibody,BsAb)能够同时结合两个抗原或一个抗原的两个不同表位,阻断或激活不同的信号通路,更有效地介导免疫细胞对肿瘤细胞杀伤,因此可能会获得比单抗甚至联合用药更好的治疗效果。随着抗体药物研发技术的飞速发展,双特异抗体也迎来研发热潮,已有多个双特异抗体处于临床开发阶段,有3个双特异抗体已获批上市。2009年,欧盟批准了第一个治疗性双特异抗体——Catumaxomab(靶向CD3和EpCAM),其结构为Triomab,用于治疗癌性腹水。与单抗相比,双特异抗体具有特异性高、靶向性强、用量少等优点,不仅在肿瘤的临床治疗中意义重大,在炎症性疾病治疗中也取得突破,具有非常广阔的应用前景。
根据已有知识可知,PD-L1与CD47蛋白同时过表达在肿瘤细胞上,通过PD-L1/PD1与CD47/SIRPα通路,逃避固有免疫系统监控,获得适应性免疫耐受。因此,同时阻抗PD-L1/PD1和CD47/SIRPα通路,激活固有免疫和适应性免疫系统,将可能发挥更好的抑制肿瘤效果。

除非另作说明,否则下列的每一个术语应当具有下文所述的含义。除非本文中另外说明,否则恒定区中的氨基酸残基的编号根据如Kabat等人,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interes,第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD,1991中所述的EU编号体系。
定义
应当注意的是,术语“一种”实体是指一种或多种该实体,例如“一种抗体”应当被理解为一种或多种抗体,因此,术语“一种”(或“一个”)、“一种或多种”和“至少一种”可以在本文中互换使用。
“约”或“大约”指相关技术领域技术人员容易知道的相应数值的常规误差范围。在一些实施方式中,本文中提到的“约”或“大约”指所描述的数值以及其±10%、±5%、±1%或±0.1%的范围。
术语“多肽”旨在涵盖单数的“多肽”以及复数的“多肽”,并且是指由通过酰胺键(也称为肽键)线性连接的氨基酸单体组成的分子。术语“多肽”是指两个或更多个氨基酸的任何单条链或多条链,并且不涉及产物的特定长度。因此,“多肽”的定义中包括肽、二肽、三肽、寡肽、“蛋白质”、“氨基酸链”或用于指两个或多个氨基酸链的任何其他术语,并且术语“多肽”可以用来代替上述任何一个术语,或者与上述任何一个术语交替使用。术语“多肽”也意在指多肽表达后修饰的产物,包括但不限于糖基化、乙酰化、磷酸化、酰胺化、通过已知的保护/封闭基团衍生化、蛋白水解切割或非天然发生的氨基酸修饰。多肽可以源自天然生物来源或通过重组技术产生,但其不必从指定的核酸序列翻译所得,它可能以包括化学合成的任何方式产生。
“氨基酸”是指既含氨基又含羧基的有机化合物,比如α-氨基酸,其可直接或以前体的形式由核酸编码。单个氨基酸由三个核苷酸(所谓的密码子或碱基三联体)组 成的核酸编码。每一个氨基酸由至少一个密码子编码。相同氨基酸由不同密码子编码称为“遗传密码的简并性”。氨基酸包括天然氨基酸和非天然氨基酸。天然氨基酸包括丙氨酸(三字母代码:Ala,一字母代码:A)、精氨酸(Arg,R)、天冬酰胺(Asn,N)、天冬氨酸(Asp,D)、半胱氨酸(Cys,C)、谷氨酰胺(Gln,Q)、谷氨酸(Glu,E)、甘氨酸(Gly,G)、组氨酸(His,H)、异亮氨酸(Ile,I)、亮氨酸(Leu,L)、赖氨酸(Lys,K)、甲硫氨酸(Met,M)、苯丙氨酸(Phe,F)、脯氨酸(Pro,P)、丝氨酸(Ser,S)、苏氨酸(Thr,T)、色氨酸(Trp,W)、酪氨酸(Tyr,Y)和缬氨酸(Val,V)。
“保守氨基酸取代”是指一个氨基酸残基被另一个含有化学性质(例如电荷或疏水性)相似的侧链(R基团)的氨基酸残基所取代。一般而言,保守氨基酸取代不大会在实质上改变蛋白质的功能性质。含有化学性质相似侧链的氨基酸类别的实例包括:1)脂族侧链:甘氨酸、丙氨酸、缬氨酸、亮氨酸和异亮氨酸;2)脂族羟基侧链:丝氨酸和苏氨酸;3)含酰胺的侧链:天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺;4)芳族侧链:苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸和色氨酸;5)碱性侧链:赖氨酸、精氨酸和组氨酸;6)酸性侧链:天冬氨酸和谷氨酸。
本发明中关于细胞、核酸、多肽、抗体等所使用的术语“分离的”,例如“分离的”DNA、RNA、多肽、抗体是指分别于细胞天然环境中的其它组分如DNA或RNA中的一种或多种所分离的分子。本发明使用的术语“分离的”还指当通过重组DNA技术产生时基本上不含细胞材料、病毒材料或细胞培养基的核酸或肽,或化学合成时的化学前体或其他化学品。此外,“分离的核酸”意在包括不以天然状态存在的核酸片段,并且不会以天然状态存在。术语“分离的”在本发明中也用于指从其他细胞蛋白质或组织分离的细胞或多肽。分离的多肽意在包括纯化的和重组的多肽。分离的多肽、抗体等通常通过至少一个纯化步骤制备。在一些实施方案中,分离的核酸、多肽、抗体等的纯度至少为约50%、约60%、约70%、约80%、约90%、约95%、约99%,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括终点)或其中任何值。
术语“重组”涉及多肽或多聚核苷酸,意指天然不存在的多肽或多聚核苷酸的形式,不受限制的实施例可以通过组合产生通常并不存在的多聚核苷酸或多肽。
“同源性”或“同一性”或“相似性”是指两个肽之间或两个核酸分子之间的序列相似性。可以通过比较每个序列中可以比对的位置来确定同源性。当被比较的序列中的位置被相同的碱基或氨基酸占据时,则分子在该位置是同源的。序列之间的同源程度是由序列共有的匹配或同源位置的数目组成的一个函数。
“至少80%同一性”为约80%同一性、约81%同一性、约82%同一性、约83%同一性、约85%同一性、约86%同一性、约87%同一性、约88%同一性、约90%同一性、 约91%同一性、约92%同一性、约94%同一性、约95%同一性、约98%同一性、约99%同一性,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括终点)或其中任何值。
“至少90%同一性”为约90%同一性、约91%同一性、约92%同一性、约93%同一性、约95%同一性、约96%同一性、约97%同一性、约98%同一性、约99%同一性,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括终点)或其中任何值。
多聚核苷酸或多聚核苷酸序列(或多肽或抗体序列)与另一序列有具有一定百分比(例如90%、95%、98%或者99%)的“同一性或序列同一性”是指当序列比对时,所比较的两个序列中该百分比的碱基(或氨基酸)相同。可以使用目测或本领域已知的软件程序来确定该比对和同一性百分比或序列同一性,比如Ausubel et al.eds.(2007)在Current Protocols in Molecular Biology中所述的软件程序。优选使用默认参数进行比对。其中一种比对程序是使用默认参数的BLAST,例如BLASTN和BLASTP,两者使用下列默认参数:Geneticcode=standard;filter=none;strand=both;cutoff=60;expect=10;Matrix=BLOSUM62;Descriptions=50sequences;sortby=HIGHSCORE;Databases=non-redundant;GenBank+EMBL+DDBJ+PDB+GenBankCDStranslations+SwissProtein+SPupdate+PIR。生物学上等同的多聚核苷酸是具有上述指定百分比的同一性并编码具有相同或相似生物学活性的多肽的多聚核苷酸。
多聚核苷酸是由四个核苷酸碱基的特定序列组成:腺嘌呤(A)、胞嘧啶(C)、鸟嘌呤(G)、胸腺嘧啶(T),或当多聚核苷酸是RNA时胸腺嘧啶换为尿嘧啶(U)。“多聚核苷酸序列”可以以多聚核苷酸分子的字母表示。该字母表示可以被输入到具有中央处理单元的计算机中的数据库中,并用于生物信息学应用,例如用于功能基因组学和同源性搜索。
术语“多聚核苷酸”和“寡核苷酸”可互换使用,是指任何长度的核苷酸的聚合形式,无论是脱氧核糖核苷酸还是核糖核苷酸或其类似物。多聚核苷酸可以具有任何三维结构并且可以执行已知或未知的任何功能。以下是不受限制的多聚核苷酸的实施例:基因或基因片段(例如探针、引物、EST或SAGE标签)、外显子、内含子、信使RNA(mRNA)、转运RNA、核糖体RNA、核糖酶、cDNA、dsRNA、siRNA、miRNA、重组多聚核苷酸、分支的多聚核苷酸、质粒、载体、任何序列的分离的DNA、任何序列的分离的RNA、核酸探针和引物。多聚核苷酸可以包含修饰的核苷酸,例如甲基化的核苷酸和核苷酸类似物。如果存在该修饰,则对核苷酸的结构修饰可以在组装多聚核苷酸之前或之后进行。核苷酸的序列可以被非核苷酸组分中断。聚合后可以进一步修饰多聚核苷酸,例如通过与标记组分缀合。这个术语也指双链和单链分子。除另有说明或要求外,本公开的任何多聚核苷酸的实施例包括双链形式和已知或预测构成双链形式的两种可互补单链形式中的每一种。
术语“编码”应用于多聚核苷酸时,是指被称为“编码”多肽的多聚核苷酸,在其天然状态或当通过本领域技术人员公知的方法操作时,经转录和/或翻译可以产生该多肽和/或其片段。
“抗体”、“抗原结合片段”是指特异性识别和结合抗原的多肽或多肽复合物。抗体可以是完整的抗体及其任何抗原结合片段或其单链。因此术语“抗体”包括分子中含有具有与抗原结合的生物学活性的免疫球蛋白分子的至少一部分的任何蛋白质或肽。抗体和抗原结合片段包括但不局限重链或轻链或其配体结合部分的互补决定区(CDR)、重链可变区(VH)、轻链可变区(VL)、重链恒定区(CH)、轻链恒定区(CL)、框架区(FR)或其任何部分,或结合蛋白的至少一部分。CDR区包括轻链的CDR区(VL CDR1-3)和重链的CDR区(VH CDR1-3)。本发明所述抗体或抗原结合片段为双特异抗体,包含特异性结合抗原a、抗原b的抗体片段。在一些实施方案中,第一多肽链包含结构VHa-CHa,第二多肽链包含结构VLa-CLa,第三多肽链包含结构VHb-CHb,第四多肽链包含结构VLb-CLb。在一些实施方案中,第二多肽链与第四多肽链的氨基酸序列相同。
术语“抗体片段”或“抗原结合片段”指抗体的一部分,本发明抗体片段的组成形式可类似于单特异性抗体片段中的F(ab')
2、F(ab)
2、Fab'、Fab、Fv、scFv等。不管其结构如何,抗体片段与被完整抗体识别的同一抗原结合。术语“抗体片段”包括适体、镜像异构体和双价抗体。术语“抗原结合片段”还包括通过与特定抗原结合形成复合物起抗体作用的任何合成或基因工程蛋白质。
“单链可变片段”或“scFv”是指免疫球蛋白的重链(VH)和轻链(VL)的可变区的融合蛋白。在一些方面,这些区域与10个至约25个氨基酸的短接头肽连接。接头可以富含甘氨酸以增加柔韧性,以及富含丝氨酸或苏氨酸以增加溶解性,并且可以连接VH的N端和VL的C端,反之亦然。尽管该蛋白质被除去了恒定区和引入了接头,但其保留了原始免疫球蛋白的特异性。ScFv分子通常是本领域中已知的,例如在美国专利5,892,019中有相关描述。
术语“抗体”包括可以在生物化学上区分的各种广泛种类的多肽。本领域技术人员将会理解,重链的类别包括gamma、mu、alpha、delta或epsilon(γ、μ、α、δ、ε),其中还有一些亚类(例如γ1-γ4)。该链的性质决定了抗体的“种类”分别为IgG、IgM、IgA、IgG或IgE。免疫球蛋白亚类(同种型),例如IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4等已被充分表征并且赋予的功能特异性也已知。所有的免疫球蛋白种类都在本发明公开的保护范围内。在一些实施方案中,免疫球蛋白分子为IgG种类。这四条链通过二硫键以“Y”构型连接,其中轻链从“Y”口开始并延续通过可变区包围重链。
本发明公开的抗体、抗原结合片段或衍生物包括但不限于多克隆、单克隆、多特 异性、全人源、人源化、灵长类化、嵌合抗体、单链抗体、表位结合片段(例如类Fab、类Fab'和类F(ab')
2)、类单链Fvs(scFv)。
轻链可以分为kappa(κ)或lambda(λ)。每个重链可以与κ或λ轻链结合。一般来说,当由杂交瘤,B细胞或基因工程宿主细胞生产免疫球蛋白时,其轻链和重链通过共价键结合,两条重链的“尾巴”部分通过共价二硫键或非共价键结合。在重链中,氨基酸序列从Y构型的叉状末端的N末端延伸至每条链底部的C末端。免疫球蛋白κ轻链可变区为Vκ;免疫球蛋白λ轻链可变区为V
λ。
轻链和重链都分成结构和功能同源性的区域。术语“恒定的”和“可变的”根据功能被使用。轻链(VL)和重链(VH)部分的可变区决定了抗原识别和特异性。轻链和重链的恒定区赋予重要的生物学性质,如分泌、经胎盘移动、Fc受体结合、补体结合等。按照惯例,恒定区的编号随着它们变得更远离抗体的抗原结合位点或氨基末端而增加。N端部分是可变区,C端部分是恒定区;CH3和CL结构域分别包含重链和轻链的羧基端。
在天然存在的抗体中,假设抗体在含水环境中呈现其三维构型时,存在于每个抗原结合域中的六个“互补决定区”或“CDR”是形成抗原结合结构域的短的、非连续的与抗原特异性结合的氨基酸序列。抗原结合结构域中被称为“构架”区域的剩余其它氨基酸显示出较小的分子间可变性。构架区大部分采用β-折叠构象,CDR形成与之连接的环状结构,或在某些情况下形成β折叠结构的一部分。因此,框架区通过形成支架从而通过链间非共价相互作用使CDR定位在正确的方位上。具有特定位置的CDR的抗原结合域形成了与抗原上的表位互补的表面,该互补表面促进抗体和其抗原表位的非共价结合。对于给定的重链或轻链可变区,本领域普通技术人员都可以通过已知方法鉴定出包含CDR和框架区的氨基酸(参见Kabat,E.,etal.,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,(1983)和Chothia and Lesk,J.Mol.Biol.,196:901-917(1987))。
同一抗体的可变区的CDR的边界,根据不同的指派系统,可能有所差异。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:其可变区序列包含本发明的CDR序列,但是由于应用了不同的方案而导致其所声称的CDR边界与本发明所定义的具体CDR边界不同。根据Kabat和Chothia定义的CDR包括相互比较时的氨基酸残基的重叠或子集。尽管如此,应用任一定义来指代抗体或其变体的CDR都在本发明范围内。
Kabat等人还定义了适用于任何抗体的可变区序列的编号系统。本领域普通技术人员可以不依赖于序列本身以外的其他实验数据将该“Kabat编号”系统应用到任何可变区序列。“Kabat编号”是指由Kabat et al.,U.S.Dept.of Health and Human Services在 “Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest”(1983)提出的编号系统。抗体还可以用EU或Chothia编号系统。
本发明公开的抗体可以来源于任何动物,包括鸟类和哺乳动物。较佳地,抗体是人源、鼠源、驴源、兔源、山羊源、骆驼源、美洲驼源、马源或鸡源抗体。在另一实施方案中,可变区可以是软骨鱼纲(condricthoid)来源(例如来自鲨鱼)。

双特异抗体
双特异抗体与单克隆抗体相比具备更强特异性、靶向肿瘤细胞和降低脱靶毒性等显著优势。双特异抗体与单克隆抗体相比增加了一个特异性抗原结合位点,在治疗方面表现出了以下优势:(1)两个抗原结合位点分别可以结合肿瘤细胞和免疫细胞,将T免疫细胞聚集到肿瘤细胞周围,增强对肿瘤的杀伤力;(2)可以同时阻断两种不同介质通路而发挥独特的或重叠的功能,介导多种免疫信号通路从而增强细胞杀伤毒性;(3)两种不同的细胞表面抗原结合后,相对而言可能潜在地增加结合特异性,降低脱 靶等副作用。因此,双特异抗体在肿瘤免疫治疗和炎症治疗中展现了广阔的应用前景。
由于在肿瘤免疫中,靶向多个靶点的治疗方案能够相互协同,对于防止肿瘤的免疫逃逸是有利的,目前靶向肿瘤免疫中的不同靶点的抗体的共施用也进入了临床试验中。但是,共施用需要注射两个独立的抗体产品或需要单次注射两种不同抗体的联合制剂。尽管两次注射允许给药量和时程的灵活性,但是它造成了患者不便依从和疼痛。另外,尽管联合制剂可能提供在给药量方面的某种灵活性,但通常难以找到在溶液中允许两种抗体的化学和物理稳定性的配制条件,原因在于两种抗体的分子特征不同。何况共施用和联合制剂两种不同抗体的疗法可能增加患者和/或付款人的额外花费,因此,需要治疗肿瘤的备选免疫疗法,并且优选地这类备选免疫疗法涉及双特异抗体。

在一些实施方案中,本发明的双特异抗体使用了“杆入臼”(Knobs-into-Holes)技术(参见,例如,John B.B.Ridgway等人,‘Knobs-into-holes’engineering of antibody CH3domains for heavy chain heterodimerization,Protein Engineering,9(7):p.617-21(1996);Shane Atwell等人,Stable heterodimers form remodeling the domain interface of a homodimer using a phage display library,J.Mol.Biol,270:p.26-35(1997);Paul Carter,Bispecific human IgG by design,Journal of Immunological Methods,248,7-15(2001);专利US8216805B2)。该技术可在本发明双特异抗体的不同链之间改造界面,以促进本发明双特异抗体的各条链正确缔合。通常,该技术涉及在一条链的界面引入“凸起”(“杆(knobs)”),在欲与之配对的另一条链的界面引入相应的“空穴”(“臼(holes)”),使得凸起可置于空穴中。可通过将来自一条链的重链恒定结构域的CH3结构域的界面的氨基酸 侧链替换为较大的侧链(如氨基酸置换T366W(Eu编号))来构建凸起。通过将大氨基酸侧链替换为较小的侧链(例如氨基酸置换T366S、L368A和Y407V(Eu编号)),在欲配对的另一条链的重链恒定结构域的CH3结构域的界面构建与凸起相同或相似大小的补偿性空穴。在一些实施方案中,一条重链Fc结构域中包含Y349C,T366S,L368A和Y407V,另一条重链Fc结构域中包含S354C和T366W,形成“杆入臼(knob-in-hole)”的稳定缔合。

恒定区及全长序列如下:
本领域普通技术人员还应当理解,本发明所公开抗体或抗原结合片段序列是可以被替换的,替换后其氨基酸序列不同于该抗体的天然存在的氨基酸序列。例如,替换后的氨基酸序列可以是与起始序列相似的,比如与起始序列具有一定比例的同一性,比如它可以与起始序列的同一性是约80%、约85%、约90%、约95%、约98%或约99%,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括终点)或其中任何值。
在某些实施方案中,抗体包含的氨基酸序列具有一个或多个修饰基团。例如,本 发明公开的双特异抗体可以被修饰以添加功能性基团(例如PEG、药物、毒素或标签)。
本发明公开的抗体、抗原结合片段包括被修饰的衍生物,即通过任何类型的分子与抗体的共价连接进行修饰,其中共价连接不会阻止抗体与表位结合。包括但不限制以下实例,抗体可以被糖基化、乙酰化、聚乙二醇化、磷酸化、酰胺化、通过已知的保护/封闭基团衍生化、蛋白水解切割、连接至细胞配体或其他蛋白质等。众多化学修饰中的任一种修饰可以通过现有技术进行,包括但不限于特异性化学裂解、乙酰化、甲酰化、衣霉素的代谢合成等。
在一些实施方案中,抗体可以与治疗剂、药物前体、肽、蛋白质、酶、病毒、脂类、生物反应调节剂、药剂或PEG缀合。
抗体可以与治疗剂缀合或融合,所述治疗剂可包括可检测标记(如放射性标记)、免疫调节剂、激素、酶、寡核苷酸、光敏治疗剂、诊断剂、药物或毒素的细胞毒性剂、超声增强剂、非放射性标记物及其组合物,和本领域已知的其它此类试剂。
抗体可通过将其偶联至化学发光化合物来被可检测地标记。然后通过检测在化学反应过程中出现的发光从而确定化学发光标记的抗体的存在。化学发光标记化合物的实例包括鲁米诺、异鲁米诺、芳香吖啶酯、咪唑、吖啶盐和草酸酯。
抗体和编码抗体的多聚核苷酸的制备方法
本发明还公开了编码本发明所述抗体、抗原结合片段、及其衍生物的多聚核苷酸或核酸分子。本发明公开的多聚核苷酸可以编码VHa、VHb、VLa、VLb、CHa、CHb、CLa、CLb、Fc区、重链a、重链b、轻链等。制备抗体的方法是本领域公知的并且在本发明中有所描述。在某些实施方案中,本发明公开的抗体、抗原结合片段包括的可变区和恒定区都是全人源的。全人源抗体和抗原结合片段可以使用本领域中公开的技术和本发明所述的技术制备。例如,针对特定抗原的全人源抗体可以通过将抗原施用于转基因动物中来制备,所述转基因动物已经被改良过以响应抗原攻击而产生全人源抗体。可用于制备这类抗体的示例性技术参见美国专利6,458,592;6,420,140,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。本发明中所述双特异抗体是将特异性结合抗原a、抗原b的片段进行融合,双特异抗体中部分片段可参见上述结合单个抗原的抗体的制备方法。
在一些实施方案中,制备的抗体不会在待治疗的动物(例如人类)中引起有害的免疫应答。在一实施方案中,本发明公开的抗体、抗原结合片段、或衍生物使用本领域公认的技术修饰以降低其免疫原性。例如,抗体可以被人源化、灵长类化、去免疫化或者可以制备嵌合抗体。这些类型的抗体来源于非人抗体,通常是鼠类或灵长类抗体,其保留或基本保留亲本抗体的抗原结合特性但在人体中免疫原性较低。其可以通 过多种方法来实现,包括(a)将整个非人源的可变区移植到人源的恒定区以产生嵌合抗体;(b)将一个或多个非人类互补决定区(CDR)的至少一部分移植到人源的框架和恒定区中,保留或不保留关键的框架残基;或(c)移植整个非人源的可变区,但通过用类人源的部分置换表面残基从而“隐藏”它们。通常人框架区中的框架残基将被来自CDR供体抗体的相应残基取代,比如能够改善抗原结合的残基。这些框架替换可以通过本领域公知的方法鉴定,例如通过模拟CDR和框架残基的相互作用以鉴定对抗原结合起重要作用的框架残基和通过序列对比以鉴定特定位置上异常的框架残基。(参考美国专利5,585,089;其全部内容通过引用并入本文)。可以使用本领域公知的多种技术使抗体人源化,例如CDR移植(EP 239,400;WO 91/09967;美国专利5,225,539,5,530,101和5,585,089),修复或者表面重排(EP592,106;EP519,596;),以及链的重排(美国专利5,565,332),其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
去免疫化也可用于降低抗体的免疫原性。在本发明中,术语“去免疫化”包括改变抗体以修饰T细胞表位(参见例如WO/9852976 A1和WO/0034317 A2)。例如,分析来自起始抗体的重链可变区序列和轻链可变区序列,并产生来自每个可变区的人T细胞表位“图谱”,显示表位相对于互补决定区(CDRs)和序列内其它关键残基的位置。分析来自T细胞表位图的单个T细胞表位,以鉴定具有较低改变抗体活性风险的可选择的氨基酸取代。设计包含氨基酸取代组合的一系列可选的重链可变区序列和轻链可变区序列,随后将这些序列掺入到一系列结合多肽中。然后将包含修饰过的可变区和人类恒定区的完整重链和轻链的基因克隆到表达载体中,随后将质粒转入细胞系以产生完整的抗体。然后利用合适的生物化学和生物学实验中比较抗体,鉴定出最佳的抗体。
本发明公开的双特异抗体或抗原结合片段的结合特异性可以通过体外实验,例如免疫共沉淀、放射免疫实验(RIA)或酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)来检测。
或者,本发明双特异抗体中scFv可参见生产单链单元的技术(美国专利4,694,778)。通过氨基酸桥接Fv区的重链和轻链片段形成单链单元,产生单链融合肽。也可以使用在大肠杆菌中组装功能性Fv片段的技术(Skerra et al.,Science 242:1038-1041(1988))。可以采用酵母展示scFv,酵母展示载体可以为pYD1载体(Addgene),宿主酿酒酵母可以为酿酒酵母EBY100(Invitrogen)。
可用于生产单链Fv(scFv)和抗体的技术的实例包括如美国专利4,946,778和5,258,498中所述。对于包括在人体内使用抗体和体外检测实验的某些用途,可以使用嵌合抗体、人源化抗体或全人源抗体。嵌合抗体是抗体的不同部分源自不同动物物种的一类分子,例如具有鼠源单克隆抗体的可变区和人源免疫球蛋白恒定区的抗体。生产嵌合抗体的方法是本领域已知的,参见美国专利5,807,715、4,816,567和4,816,397, 其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
此外,在Newman,Biotechnology 10:1455-1460(1992)中公开了另一种生产重组抗体的高效方法,特别地,该技术能产生含有猴可变区和人恒定区序列的灵长类抗体,该参考文献的全部内容通过引用并入本文。此外,该技术也在共同转让的美国专利5,658,570、5,693,780和5,756,096中有所提及,每个专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。
抗体可以通过本领域已知的多种方法制备,包括使用来自免疫球蛋白序列的抗体文库进行的噬菌体展示方法。也可参考美国专利4,444,887和4,716,111,以及PCT公布文本WO 98/46645、WO 98/50433、WO 98/24893、WO 98/16654、WO 96/34096、WO 96/33735和WO 91/10741,每个专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。
识别选择性表位的全人源抗体可以使用被称为“引导选择”的技术来生产。在该方法中,使用选择的非人单克隆抗体(例如小鼠抗体)来引导识别相同表位的全人源抗体的筛选(参见美国专利5,565,332,其全部内容通过引用并入本文)。
在另一实施方案中,使用常规方法(例如使用能够特异性结合编码鼠抗体重链和轻链的基因的寡核苷酸探针),可以分离编码所需单克隆抗体的DNA并对其进行测序。分离的和亚克隆的杂交瘤细胞可以作为此类DNA的来源。一旦分离出来,DNA可以被置于表达载体中,然后被转染到原核或真核宿主细胞如大肠杆菌细胞、猿猴COS细胞、中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞或不产生其他免疫球蛋白的骨髓瘤细胞中。分离的DNA(如本文所述可以是合成的)也可用于制备抗体的恒定区和可变区的序列,如美国专利5,658,570中所述,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。该方法从所选细胞中提取RNA并转化成cDNA,然后使用Ig特异性引物通过PCR技术进行扩增。适于此目的的合适的探针在美国专利5,658,570中也有所提及。
此外,使用常规重组DNA技术,可将本发明的抗体的一个或多个CDR插入框架区,例如插入到人类框架区以构建人源化非全人源抗体。框架区可以是天然存在的或共有的框架区,优选人类框架区(参见Chothia et al.,J.Mol.Biol.278:457-479(1998),其列出一系列人类框架区)。一些多核苷酸可以编码框架区和CDR组合产生的与目标抗原的至少一个表位特异性结合的抗体。在框架区内可以进行一个或多个氨基酸取代,可以选择能够改善抗体与其抗原结合的氨基酸取代。另外,可用此法进行参与链间二硫键形成的一个或多个可变区中半胱氨酸残基的取代或缺失,从而产生缺少一个或多个链间二硫键的抗体分子。本领域技术范围内的对多核苷酸进行的其他改变也涵盖于本发明中。
抗体可以通过使用常规重组DNA技术制备。使用本领域技术人员公知的技术可 以选择、构建和培养生产抗体的载体及细胞系等。这些技术在各种实验室手册和主要出版物中均有描述,例如Recombinant DNA Technology for Production of Protein Therapeutics in Cultured Mammalian Cells,D.L.Hacker,F.M.Wurm,in Reference Module in Life Sciences,2017,其全部内容包括补充内容通过引用并入全文。
在一些实施方案中,可以按常规方法根据本文所述抗体氨基酸序列设计合成编码抗体的DNA,将其置入表达载体中,然后转染宿主细胞,在培养基中培养被转染的宿主细胞产生抗体。表达抗体重链轻链的DNA可以置入同一载体中或置入不同载体中;若置入不同载体中,表达抗体重链的载体和轻链的载体可以以适当比例转染宿主细胞(如Tihomir S.Dodev et al.,A tool kit for rapid cloning and expression of recombinant antibodies,Scientific Reports volume 4,Article number:5885(2014);Stefan Schlatter et al.,On the Optimal Ratio of Heavy to Light Chain Genes for Efficient Recombinant Antibody Production by CHO Cells,Biotechnol Progress,21:122-133(2005);Hadi Bayat et al.,Evaluation of different vector design strategies for the expression of recombinant monoclonal antibody in CHO cells,Preparative Biochemistry & Biotechnology,48(8):822-829(2018)。在一些实施方案中,表达抗体载体包括至少一个启动子元件,抗体编码序列,转录终止信号和polyA尾。其他元件包括增强子,Kozak序列及插入序列两侧RNA剪接的供体和受体位点。可以通过SV40的前期和后期启动子,来自逆转录病毒的长末端重复序列如RSV、HTLV1、HIVI及巨细胞病毒的早期启动子来获得高效的转录,也可应用其它一些细胞的启动子如肌动蛋白启动子。合适的表达载体可包括pIRES1neo,pRetro-Off,pRetro-On,PLXSN,或者Plncx,pcDNA3.1(+/-),pcDNA/Zeo(+/-),pcDNA3.1/Hygro(+/-),PSVL,PMSG,pRSVcat,pSV2dhfr,pBC12MI和pCS2等。常使用的哺乳动物细胞包括293细胞,Cos1细胞,Cos7细胞,CV1细胞,鼠L细胞和CHO细胞等。
在一些实施方案中,插入基因片段需含有筛选标记,常见的筛选标记包括二氢叶酸还原酶,谷氨酰胺合成酶,新霉素抗性,潮霉素抗性等筛选基因,以便于转染成功的细胞的筛选分离。将构建好的质粒转染到无上述基因的宿主细胞,经过选择性培养基培养,转染成功的细胞大量生长,产生想要获得的目的蛋白。

此外,可以使用本领域技术人员已知的标准技术在编码本发明所述抗体的核苷酸序列中引入突变,包括但不限于导致氨基酸取代的定点突变和PCR介导的突变。变体(包括衍生物)编码相对于原重链可变区VH CDR1、VH CDR2、VH CDR3和轻链可变区VL CDR1、VL CDR2或VL CDR3来说少于50个氨基酸的取代、少于40个氨基酸的替换、少于30个氨基酸的取代、少于25个氨基酸的取代、少于20个氨基酸的取代、少于15个氨基酸的取代、少于10个氨基酸的取代、少于5个氨基酸的取代、少于4个氨基酸的取代、少于3个氨基酸的取代或少于2个氨基酸的取代。或者可以沿着全部或部分编码序列时随机引入突变,例如通过饱和突变,以及可以筛选所得突变体的生物活性以鉴定保留活性的突变体。
在一些实施方案中,本文所述取代为保守氨基酸取代。

抗PD-1/PD-L1抗体能够通过阻断PD-1和PD-L1的结合,从而解除对下游NFAT信号通路的抑制作用。采用Promega公司提供的MOA(Mechanisms of Action,MOA)检测系统(PD-1/PD-L1 Blockade Bioassay,Propagation Model,Catalog J1252),根据说明书提供的方法,通过检测荧光报告基因的表达反应出NFAT信号的激活情况,从而检测实施例2步骤2.2.2的抗体对PD-1/PD-L1结合的抑制作用。其中,阴性对照抗体IgG-Isotype购自北京义翘神州科技股份有限公司(目录号:HG1K)。
活性检测前一天铺种CHO-PD-L1细胞(来自上述MOA检测系统):铺CHO-PD-L1前1-2天传代,丢弃培养上清,用无菌PBS洗一遍细胞。加入适量Trypsin(Gibco)于37℃、5%CO2培养箱中消化3-5min。加入新鲜培养基终止消化,转移细胞至50ml离心管并计数。取所需体积细胞,900rpm离心5min。加入DMEM-F12培养基(Gibco),重悬细胞至4×10
5个细胞/mL。将细胞加入96孔白色细胞培养板(Corning),100μl/孔。细胞于37℃、5%CO
2培养箱中培养过夜。
检测当天处理Jurkat-PD1细胞(来自上述MOA检测系统):计数后取所需体积细胞,900rpm离心5min。用测定缓冲液(1640培养基(Gibco)+1%FBS)重悬细胞至1.25×10
6个细胞/ml,待用。将CHO-PD-L1细胞培养板中的培养基上清,吸弃95μl/孔,加入40μl/孔的测试样品(上述抗PD-L1抗体、ATE抗体以及阴性对照HG1K抗体,最高浓度为20μg/ml,2倍稀释在测定缓冲液中,总共9个梯度),再加入40μl Jurkat-PD1细胞,轻微震荡混匀,放置于37℃、5%CO2培养箱中培养6小时。检测:提前将ONE-Glo
TMLuciferase Assay System(购自Promega,E6120)融化。6小时后,加入ONE-Glo
TM试剂,50μl/孔。室温放置5-10min,读数。实验结果如图4所示,本发明抗体L1-R2-4-36、L1-R2-4-46、L1-R2-4-47、L1-R2-4-55和L1-R2-4-71均可以有效阻断PD1/PD-L1的相互作用;与对照抗体ATE相比,抗体(L1-R2-4-36和L1-R2-4-46)具有更强的阻断活性。

注:*拟合方式为:1:1Binding。
通过以上数据可见,本发明的不同轻链,能够同时分别与抗PD-L1和抗CD47的重链组成单克隆抗体,且分别与溶液中的人PD-L1和人CD47蛋白结合。

采用实施例5的MOA法检测实施例2步骤2.2.3的抗PD-L1抗体对PD-1/PD-L1的阻断活性,实验结果如图5所示,本发明的不同轻链的抗PD-L1抗体,均可以有效阻断PD1/PD-L1的相互作用。
抗CD47抗体红细胞凝集实验
已知大多数的抗CD47抗体具有促进红细胞凝集的副作用,因而这些抗CD47抗体的治疗应用受到限制。因此,进一步检测本发明实施例2步骤2.2.3的抗CD47抗体的红细胞凝集作用。具体检测方法:采集新鲜人类血液,用生理盐水清洗三次后制备成2%人红细胞悬液,将2%人红细胞悬液与受试抗体(最高终浓度为800nM,两倍系列稀释,总共获得11个稀释后浓度)等体积混合,在37℃孵育4小时,随后评估抗体红细胞凝集情况,将96孔U型板倾斜45°,观察红细胞团的流向,如果呈“一字型”,说明红细胞没有发生凝集。在如以上测定法所述进行的实验中,红细胞凝集反应结果如图6所示。在高浓度情况下,47-R2-89和对照抗体Hu5F9-G4引起红细胞凝集,其它示例抗体不会引起红细胞凝集。可见,本发明的大部分抗CD47抗体,显著地降低红细胞凝集作用,因此在临床治疗中具有显著降低的副作用,可以广泛应用于多种癌症的治疗中。
抗CD47抗体促进吞噬作用实验
进行体外吞噬作用测定以评估实施例2步骤2.2.3的抗CD47抗体是否增强巨噬细胞对表达CD47的靶细胞的吞噬。简而言之,在抗CD47抗体(0.7nM)的存在下,将RAW264.7巨噬细胞(2×10
5个/mL)与CFSE(Invitrogen,目录号:C34554)标记的Raji细胞(4×10
5个/mL)以1:2比率铺板到24-孔底板中,37℃下避光孵育2小时。孵育完成时,用PBS洗涤细胞两次后,再加入100μlAPC-F4/80荧光抗体(eBiosciences),冰上(避光)孵育30分钟,PBS缓冲液洗涤两次并通过流式细胞术进行分析。分析吞噬指数,吞噬指数计算方式为:吞噬指数=CFSE-F4/80双阳性的巨噬细胞数(即吞噬了肿瘤细胞的巨噬细胞数)/每5000个巨噬细胞。如图7可见,本发明的抗CD47抗体和Hu5F9-G4都可以有效诱导巨噬细胞对靶细胞发挥吞噬作用。
实施例7:抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体的Tm值的测定
采用DSC(差式扫描热量仪,Malvern Panalytical,MicroCal VP-Capillary)的方法测定示例的双特异抗体以及参考抗体(此处用L1-R2-4-71作为参比品)的Tm值,并据此初步判断示例的双特异抗体的热稳定性。
样品蛋白于1×PBS缓冲液(pH7.4)中,制备成2mg/mL浓度的溶液。自40℃开始,以180℃/hr的速率对样品或空白缓冲液的比热容(Cp)进行扫描。将样品扫描的结果分别扣除相应缓冲液的结果,利用得到的Cp值对温度作图,其中,Cp值明显升高的峰值所对应的温度即为样品的Tm值。
由表14可知,与传统抗体相似,示例的双特异抗体以及L1-R2-4-71参比样品均显示明显的Tm值,包括70℃左右的CH2溶解温度以及位于85℃左右的CH3的溶解温度。同时可以看出,和L1-R2-4-71相比,双特异抗体的Tm值略低,但差别并不明显,可以初步判定双特异抗体与单克隆抗体相近,具有良好的热稳定性。

实施例8:抗PD-L1/CD47抗体与两种抗原的结合活性
使用Octet系统(ForteBio公司)通过动力学结合测定法确定示例的双特异抗体与 PD-L1和CD47的结合能力。在实验开始时,将ProA生物传感器AHC传感器(Pall,1506091)浸泡于PBS缓冲液中于室温平衡10分钟。向96孔黑色聚苯乙烯半量微孔板(Greiner)的孔中分别加入100μl双特异抗体溶液(BsAb-36、BsAb-46、BsAb-47或BsAb-71(20μg/ml))、100μl PD-L1-His抗原溶液(200nM、40nM、8nM、1.6nM、0.32nM和0)和100μl CD47-His抗原溶液(200nM、40nM、8nM、1.6nM、0.32nM和0)。将ProA生物传感器AHC浸没于分别含所述抗体溶液的孔中,在室温浸没120秒上样。随后将传感器在PBS缓冲液中洗涤至达到基线,然后浸没于含100μl PD-L1-His抗原溶液的孔中,随后将传感器在PBS缓冲液中洗涤至达到基线,然后浸没于含100μl CD47-His抗原溶液的孔中,监测抗体与抗原的缔合。转速为1000转/分钟,温度为30℃。结果如图8A所示。
在另一个实验中,实验方法同上所述,但将抗体与两种抗原的结合次序与上面的实验调转,将ProA生物传感器AHC浸没于分别含所述抗体溶液的孔中,在室温浸没120秒上样。随后将传感器在PBS缓冲液中洗涤至达到基线,然后浸没于含100μl CD47-His抗原溶液的孔中,随后将传感器在PBS缓冲液中洗涤至达到基线,然后浸没于含100μl PD-L1-His抗原溶液的孔中,监测抗体与抗原的缔合。结果如图8B所示。
在另一个实验中,实验方法同上所述,但双特异抗体为BsAb-71-N297A,检测双特异抗体BsAb-71-N297A与两种抗原的结合活性。结果图8C所示,表明BsAb-71-N297A能够同时和溶液的PD-L1和CD47蛋白结合。
通过以上结果可见,本发明示例的双特异抗体能够同时和溶液中的PD-L1和CD47蛋白结合,且在结合不同表位的时候不会互相干扰结合。
实施例9:抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体的解离常数测定
采用实施例5的Biacore检测亲和力解离常数(KD)的方法,对以上所述构建的抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体结合人PD-L1-His或人CD47-His抗原的平衡解离常数(KD)进行测定,并采用不同的拟合方式进行结果分析。表15显示了示例抗体的KD数据。

注:*拟合方式为:1:1 Binding;^拟合方式为:Two State Reaction。
通过以上数据可见,采用1:1Binding的拟合方式,本发明示例的双特异抗体能够和溶液中的人PD-L1-His结合,且维持了亲本抗体的亲和力常数;本发明示例的双特异抗体能够和溶液中的人CD47-His蛋白结合,抗体的亲和力常数比亲本抗体弱,具有中等的抗CD47亲和力。
实施例10:抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体与过量表达PD-L1或CD47的CHO细胞的结合分析
通过流式细胞术测量本发明示例的抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体与过量表达人PD-L1或人CD47的CHO细胞的结合。简而言之,将人PD-L1或人CD47 cDNA插入到表达载体中,并转染至中国仓鼠卵巢癌细胞(CHO,Invitrogen),产生过量表达人PD-L1或人CD47的CHO细胞(PD-L1-CHO细胞或CD47-CHO细胞)。将PD-L1-CHO细胞或CD47-CHO细胞分别与不同系列稀释的示例的双特异抗体混匀,冰上孵育1h;用PBS洗涤细胞两次,再加入PE标记的抗人Fc抗体(Invitrogen,12-4998-82)荧光二抗,冰上避光孵育30分钟;PBS洗涤细胞两次后,再用PBS重悬细胞,通过FACS检测抗体与细胞的结合。结果见图9A和图9B。由图9A可见,本发明示例的双特异抗体均能够与细胞表面表达的PD-L1相结合,并维持了亲本抗体的结合EC50。同时,由图9B可见,本发明示例的双特异抗体均能够与细胞表面表达的CD47相结合。
另一个实施例中,根据上述方法分析抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体BsAb-71-N297A与过量表达PD-L1或CD47的CHO细胞的结合。结果如图9C和图9D所示。由图9C可见,BsAb-71-N297A能够与细胞表面表达的PD-L1相结合,并维持了亲本抗体的结合EC50。同时,由图9D可见,BsAb-71-N297A能够与细胞表面表达的CD47相结合。
现有报道已知CD47蛋白在人各种正常组织中,均有不同程度的表达,因而给抗CD47抗体的治疗应用带来一定的阻碍。在本发明中,通过策略性降低双特异抗体与人CD47的亲和力和结合力,预见能够在临床治疗中降低抗体引起的副作用,可以广泛应用于多种癌症的治疗。
实施例11:基于MOA法检测本发明示例的双特异抗体的抗PD-L1活性
采用实施例5的MOA检测方法,检测本发明示例的双特异抗体(BsAb-36、BsAb-46、BsAb-47、BsAb-71以及BsAb-71-N297A)的抗PD-L1活性。结果如图10A和图10B所示,本发明的双特异抗体可以解除PD-1/PD-L1相互作用对NFAT信号通路的抑制作用,且活性优于作为抗PD-L1抗体的L1-R2-4-71抗体单独使用。
实施例12:抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体促进红细胞凝集活性的检测
如实施例6所述的红细胞凝集实验检测方法,本发明进一步研究抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体的红细胞凝集作用。结果如图11所示,本发明示例的双特异抗体不引起红 细胞凝集,其促进红细胞凝集的活性明显低于对照组Hu5F9-G4,与亲本抗体47-R2-4保持一致。
实施例13:双特异抗体促进巨噬细胞吞噬肿瘤细胞的能力检测(吞噬图)
在基于流式细胞术的测定法中测量本发明示例的双特异抗体促进巨噬细胞吞噬肿瘤细胞的能力。如实施例6所述的抗CD47抗体促进吞噬作用的实验方法,体外评估本发明示例的双特异抗体促进巨噬细胞对靶细胞的吞噬能力。从图12可见,抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体可以有效诱导巨噬细胞对靶细胞发挥吞噬作用,其诱导活性和抗CD47单克隆抗体相近。
实施例14:双特异抗体与人红细胞的结合分析(RBC binding)
现有技术已知只有在肿瘤细胞和红细胞上,阻断CD47-SIRPα的相互作用会引发吞噬作用。这一机制决定了抗CD47抗体的作用机制,因而治疗引起的红细胞减少造成严重贫血,限制了抗CD47抗体的治疗应用。红细胞结合差异化特性的抗CD47抗体,可以有效规避与正常红细胞结合,降低临床治疗中的副作用。本实施例采用流式细胞术,检测示例的双特异抗体对肿瘤细胞和人红细胞的选择性结合性质。具体方法:采集新鲜人类血液,用生理盐水清洗三次后制备成2%人红细胞悬液,将2%人红细胞悬液与受试抗体(最高终浓度为200nM,两倍系列稀释,总共获得11个稀释后浓度)等体积混合,冰上孵育1h;用PBS洗涤细胞两次,再加入PE标记的抗人Fc抗体(Jackson Invitrogen,12-4998-82)荧光二抗,冰上避光孵育30分钟;PBS洗涤细胞两次后,再用PBS重悬细胞,通过FACS检测抗体与细胞的结合。以上述同样的方法,制备示例的双特异抗体与人T淋巴细胞白血病Jurkat细胞的检测样品。实验结果如图13A和图13B所示,在200nM的抗体浓度下,本发明的双特异抗体与人红细胞只有弱结合,明显弱于亲本抗体47-R2-4以及阳性对照抗体Hu5F9-G4与人红细胞结合;差异化红细胞结合特性并没有影响双特异抗体以及亲本抗体与肿瘤细胞的结合,因此,本发明的双特异抗体具有更高的临床应用安全性和更广泛的治疗适应性。
实施例15:抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体对外源刺激下的人外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)释放IL2细胞因子的影响

PBMC刺激:取适量PBMC,用PBMC培养液重悬至细胞密度为1×10
6个/ml;往上述细胞悬液中加入SEE(Toxin Technology,ET404),使SEE浓度为100ng/ml;取一块96孔细胞培养板,将加了SEE的PBMC细胞均匀分到孔中,每孔100μl。将准备好的抗体溶液加入板中,每孔加入100μL,混匀,此时SEE终浓度为50ng/ml,抗体终浓度为2.5μg/ml,每孔中有总数为10万个的PBMC细胞。抗体与细胞于37℃的二氧化碳培养箱中共同培养4天。

实验结果如图14所示,本发明示例的抗PD-L1/CD47双特异抗体BsAb-71-N297A可以在体外有效激活T细胞。
