Description

ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATES INCLUDING ANTIBODY AGAINST HUMAN DLK1, AND USE THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting DLK1, active metabolites of such ADCs, methods for preparation of such ADCs, uses for such ADCs in treatment and/or prevention of illnesses, and uses for such ADCs in production of drugs for treatment and/or prevention of diseases, more specifically, uses for such ADCs in producing drugs for treatment and/or prevention of proliferative and/or angiogenetic diseases, for example, cancer. More particularly, the present invention relates to an antibody-drug conjugate comprising an antibody binding with DLK1 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.
BACKGROUND Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal lumps of uncontrolled cell growth in the tissues of the body, and is the result of uncontrolled cell growth in a variety of tissues. Tumors in early stage cancers may be removed through surgical and radiotherapeutic measures, and metastasized tumors are generally treated palliatively using chemotherapy. Most chemotherapy agents administered non-orally may induce unwanted adverse effects or serious toxicity as a result of systemic administration. Accordingly, the focus of development has been on developing novel chemotherapy agents to achieve increased efficacy and minimal toxicity / adverse effects through improved and selective action of chemotherapy agents on tumor cells or immediately adjacent tissues. An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a new targeted technology where a toxin or drug is bonded to an antibody which in turn binds to an antigen, the toxin or drug released into a tumor cell, etc., to cause cell death. The technology has superior efficacy over antibody drugs, and is able to substantially reduce the risk of adverse effects compared to conventional anti-cancer agents, as it specifically delivers drugs to the target cancer cells with minimum impact to healthy cells, and only releases drugs under specific conditions.
The basic structure of an antibody-drug conjugate is "antibody - linker - small molecule drug (toxin)". Here, the linker needs to play not only the functional role of linking the antibody and drug, but also ensure that the drug is released properly through antibody-drug dissociation (e.g. as a result of hydrolysis by enzyme) after being circulated through the body and reaching the target cells, and exhibits efficacy against the target cancer cells. That is, the stability of the linker plays a very important role in the efficacy and systemic toxicity of an antibody-drug conjugate (Discovery Medicine 2010, 10(53): 329-39). The inventors of the present invention have developed and secured a patent for a linker including an effective self-immolative group, which is more stable in the plasma and in circulation, and allows a drug to be easily released and exhibit efficacy in a cancer cell (Korean Registered Patent No. 1,628,872, etc.). Meanwhile, use of monoclonal antibodies for cancer treatment is having substantial success. Monoclonal antibodies are suitable for target-oriented addressing of tumor tissue and tumor cells. Antibody-drug conjugates have become a novel and powerful option for therapy of lymphomas and solid tumors, and recently, immunoregulatory antibodies are seeing significant success in clinical trials. Development of therapeutic antibodies is based on a profound understanding of cancer serology, protein engineering technology, mechanisms of action and resistance, and interactions between immune systems and cancer cells. Antigens which are expressed on the surface of human cancer cells are defined as a broad range of targets which are over-expressed compared to normal tissues, mutated or selectively expressed. The key problem is identifying the appropriate antigens for antibody-based therapies. These therapeutic agents mediate changes in antigen or receptor function (i.e., as a stimulant or antagonist), regulate the immune system through Fc and T cell activation, and exhibit efficacy through the delivery of specific drugs that bind to antibodies targeting specific antigens. Molecular techniques that can alter antibody pharmacokinetics, functional function, size and immune stimulation are emerging as key elements in the development of novel antibody-based therapies. Evidence from clinical trials of therapeutic antibodies in cancer patients highlights the importance of approaches for selecting optimized antibodies, including affinity and binding of the target antigen and antibodies, selection of antibody structure, and therapeutic approaches (blocking signaling or immune function). Related research is in progress on antibodies whose antigen is DLKl. Human-derived DLK1 (delta-like 1 homolog (Drosophila)) is a single-pass transmembrane protein whose whole chain comprises 383 amino acids. The protein has 6 EGF (epidermal growth factor-like repeat) domains in the extracellular domain. DLK1 is generally referred to by the gene DLK1 due to its homology in amino acid sequence with Delta, a ligand of the Notch receptor which is a cell differentiation control factor, and other names by which it is referred to are Pref-1, pG2, SCP-1 and ZOG. While DLK1 is a transmembrane protein, it is well reported as a protein where the extracellular domain is shed from the cell membrane by TACE (Tumor necrosis factor alpha converting enzyme) and functions separately. DLK1 exhibits high expression in undifferentiated fetal cells with a high proliferation index. In particular, whereas high expression is exhibited in the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles and brain, etc., of the fetus, expression is not seen in most tissues after birth, with expression limited to only certain cells such as preadipocytes, pancreatic islet cells, thymic stromal cells and adrenal gland cells. As for research into the functions of DLK1, DLK1 is most researched as Pref-1 (preadipocyte factor-1) which is a factor that inhibits adipose cell differentiation. Aside from its ability to suppress adipose cell differentiation, DLK1 is reported to be able to suppress differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, to play a role in regulating differentiation of lymphoid progenitor cells, and to be associated with wound healing. Further, DLK1 is reported as being expressed with high frequency in various cancers or tumors. Cancers in which the expression of DLK1 has been confirmed to date include the solid cancers of neuroendocrine tumors, neuroblastoma, glioma, neurofibromatosis type 1, small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, renal cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, and the blood cancers of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. As for research on the association between nDLK1 and cancer, there have been reports that DLK1 is over-expressed in brain cancer cells (gliomas), and that overexpressing the cDNA of DLK1 in brain cancer cells increases proliferation and migration of brain cancer cells. It has also been reported that DLK1 expression in liver cancer is elevated compared to normal liver cells, and that when DLK1 expression is reduced through siRNA tests, tumor size decreases. To this technical background, the inventors of the present invention have worked to develop antibodies which bind specifically to DLK1, as a result developing anti-DLK1 antibody exhibiting superior binding to DLKl. The inventors have confirmed that, by applying a linker including an effective self-immolative group, which is more stable in the plasma and in circulation, and allows a drug to be easily released and exhibit efficacy in a cancer cell, to the anti-DLK1 antibody to further reinforce the effect of the antibody, it is possible to provide a novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC) which targets DLK1 and is effective at treating and/or preventing cancer illnesses, and thereby completed the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEM A purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting DLK1, or a salt or solvate thereof. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a drug-antibody conjugate including an antibody which binds specifically to DLK1 and a drug binding thereto, and a pharmaceutical composition including the same. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing or treating a proliferative, cancer or angiogenetic disease, the method comprising a step of administering an individual with an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a pharmaceutically efficacious amount of antibody which specifically binds to DLK1 and a drug which binds to the same. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a use for an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a pharmaceutically efficacious amount of antibody which specifically binds to DLK1 and a drug which binds to the same as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a proliferative, cancer or angiogenetic disease. Yet another purpose of the present invention is to provide an antibody-linker-drug (toxin) system which allows a drug and/or toxin to safely reach a target cell and effectively exhibit efficacy while substantially reducing toxicity, by grafting technology for a linker including a self immolative group which is more stable in the plasma and in circulation, and allows a drug to be easily released in a cancer cell to maximize efficacy.
TECHNICAL SOLUTION One aspect of the present invention provides an antibody conjugate of the General Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[General Formula I] Ab - (X)y
Where: Ab is an anti-DLK1 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, X is independently a chemical residue comprising at least one active agent and a linker, and; the linker links an antibody and the active agent, and; y is an integer from 1 through 20. The anti-DLK1 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that is the antibody which binds to DLK1 or antigen-binding fragment of the same, comprises: a heavy chain variable region comprising at least one heavy chain CDR1 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NO. 2, 16, , 44, 58, 72 and 86, at least one heavy chain CDR2 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NO. 4, 18, 32, 46, 60, 74 and 88, and at least one heavy chain CDR3 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NO. 6, 20, 34, 48, 62, 76 and 90, and; a light chain variable region comprising at least one light chain CDR1 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 9, 23, 37, 51, 65, 79, 93, 115 and 121, at least one light chain CDR2 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 11, 25, 39, 53, 67, 81 and 95, and at least one light chain CDR3 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 13, 27, 41, 55,69,83,97,116and125. The antibody according to the present invention may, for example, bind specifically to the extracellular domain of human DLKl. The term "antibody" as used in the present specification refers to DLK1, in particular anti DLK1 antibody which binds specifically to the extracellular domain of human DLK1 protein. Included in the scope of the present invention is not only the complete form of the antibody which binds specifically to DLK1, but also antigen-binding fragments of the antibody molecule. The complete antibody has a structure having 2 full length heavy chains and 2 full length light chains, the respective light chains linked to a heavy chain by a disulfide bond. The heavy chain constant regions have types gamma (y), mu ([), alpha (a), delta (6) and epsilon (c), with sub classes gammal (yl), gamma2 (y2), gamma3 (y3), gamma4 (yl), alphal (al) and alpha2 (U2). The light chain constant region has types kappa (K) and lambda (X). An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody or antibody fragment refers to a fragment with the functionality to bind to an antigen, and includes Fab, F(ab'), F(ab')2 and Fv, etc. Among antibody fragments, Fab has a structure of light chain and heavy chain variable regions, a light chain constant region and a first constant region of a heavy chain (CH1), and1 antigen-binding site. Fab' differs from Fab in that it has a hinge region comprising at least one cysteine residue at the C-terminal of the heavy chain CH Idomain. The F(ab)'2 antibody is formed when the cysteine residue of the hinge region of Fab' forms a disulfide bond. Fv is a minimum antibody fragment which only has a heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region, and recombinant technologies for preparing Fv fragments are disclosed in PCT International Published Patent Applications W088/10649, W088/106630, W088/07085, W088/07086 and W088/09344. A two-chain Fv has a heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region linked by a non covalent bond, and a single-chain Fv (scFv) generally has a heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region linked by a covalent bond through a peptide linker, or linked directly at the C-terminal, allowing it to form structures such as a dimer, as can a two-chain Fv. Such antibody fragments may be obtained by using protein hydrolyzing enzyme (for example, restriction cutting the entire antibody with papain yields Fab, and cutting with pepsin can yield F(ab)'2 fragment), and may also be prepared using gene recombinant technology. In embodiments, the antibody according to the present invention is of the Fv form (for example, scFv), or in its complete antibody form. Further, the heavy chain constant region may be any one isotype selected from among gamma (y), mu ([), alpha (a), delta (6) and epsilon (c). For example, the constant region is Gammal (IgGI), Gamma3 (IgG3) or Gamma4 (IgG4). The light chain constant region may be the kappa or lambda type. The term "heavy chain" as used in the present specification refers to the full length heavy chain comprising the variable region domain VH which comprises amino acid sequences having sufficient variable region sequences to give antigen specificity and the three constant region domains CHI, CH2 and CH3, and all fragments of the same. Further the term "light chain" as used in the present specification refers to the full length light chain comprising the variable region domain VL which comprises amino acid sequences having sufficient variable region sequences to give antigen specificity and the constant region domain CL, and all fragments of the same. The antibody of the invention includes, but is not limited to, monoclonal antibody, multispecific antibody, human antibody, humanized antibody, chimera antibody, single chain Fvs (scFV), single chain antibody, Fab fragment, F(ab') fragment, disulfide-bond Fvs (sdFV) and anti idiotype (anti-Id) antibody, or epitope-binding fragments of the above antibodies, etc. Monoclonal antibodies refer to antibodies obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody group, that is, except for possible naturally occurring mutations in which individual antibodies that occupy the population may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific and are directed against a single antigenic site. In contrast to a conventional (polyclonal) antibody formulation which comprises different antibodies directed to different determining factors, the respective monoclonal antibodies are directed against a single determining factor on the antigen. For example, the useful monoclonal antibodies of the present invention may be prepared using the hybridoma method, or by using recombinant DNA methods on bacteria or eukaryotic animal cells or plant cells (see US Patent 4,816,567). Further, the monoclonal antibody may be isolated from a phage antibody library. In one embodiment of the present invention, the phage display method was used to pan a natural human single chain Fv library (native human single chain Fv library) to prepare seven types of monoclonal human antibody which bind specifically to DLKl. "Phage display" is a technique for displaying a mutant polypeptide as a fusion protein with the phage, for example, at least part of the coat protein on the surface of the phage particle. The usefulness of phage display is that large libraries of randomized protein variants may be targeted to quickly and efficiently classify sequences that bind to target antigens in high affinity. Displaying peptides and protein libraries on phages has been used to screen millions of polypeptides to identify polypeptides with specific binding properties. Phage display technology has provided a powerful tool for generating and screening new proteins that bind to specific ligands (e.g. antigens). Using phage display technology, large libraries of protein variants may be generated and sequences that bind with high affinity to target antigens may be quickly classified. The nucleic acid encoding the mutant polypeptide is fused with a nucleic acid sequence encoding a viral coat protein, e.g. a gene III protein or a gene VIII protein. A monophasic phage display system has been developed in which a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein or polypeptide is fused with a nucleic acid sequence encoding a part of the gene III protein. In the 1-phage display system, the gene fusion is expressed at a low level and the wild type gene III protein is also expressed, thereby maintaining the infectivity of the particles. Demonstrating the expression of peptides on the fibrous phage surface and the expression of functional antibody fragments in the peripheral cytoplasm of E. coli is important in developing antibody phage display libraries. Libraries of antibodies or antigen-binding polypeptides have been prepared in a number of ways, for example by altering a single gene by inserting a random DNA sequence, or by cloning a related gene sequence. The library may be screened for the expression of antibodies or antigen binding proteins with the desired characteristics. Phage display technology has several advantages over conventional hybridomas and recombinant methods for producing antibodies with the desired characteristics. This technique allows the generation of large antibody libraries with a variety of sequences in a short time without the use of animals. The production of hybridomas and the production of humanized antibodies may require several months of manufacturing time. In addition, since no immunity is required, the phage antibody library can generate antibodies against antigens that are toxic or have low antigenicity. Phage antibody libraries can also be used to generate and identify novel therapeutic antibodies. Techniques for generating human antibodies from non-immunized humans, germline sequences, or sub-sensitized B cell Ig repertoires may be used, which are immunized using a phage display library. Various lymphatic tissues may be used to prepare an undetected or non immunogenic antigen-binding library. Techniques for identifying and separating high affinity antibodies from phage display libraries are important for new antibody separation for therapy. The separation of high affinity antibodies from the library can depend on the size of the library, the production efficiency in bacterial cells and the variety of libraries. The size of the library is reduced by inefficient folding of the antibody or antigen binding protein and inefficient production due to the presence of the stop codon. Expression in bacterial cells may be inhibited when the antibody or antigen binding domain is not properly folded. Expression may be improved by alternately mutating the residues at the surface of the variable / constant interface or the selected CDR residues. The sequence of the framework region is one element to provide appropriate folding in the case of generating antibody phage libraries in bacterial cells. It is important to generate various libraries of antibody or antigen binding proteins in high affinity antibody separation. CDR3 regions have been found to often participate in antigen binding. The CDR3 region on the heavy chain varies considerably in terms of size, sequence and structural conformation, and thus various libraries may be prepared using the CDR3 region. Also, diversity may be generated by randomizing the CDR regions of the variable heavy and light chains using all 20 amino acids at each position. The use of all 20 amino acids results in an increased variability in antibody sequences and an increased chance of identifying new antibodies. "Epitope" refers to a protein determinant to which an antibody can specifically bind. Epitopes usually consist of a group of chemically active surface molecules, such as amino acids or sugar side chains, and generally have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics as well as specific charge characteristics. Three-dimensional epitopes and non-stereo epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former is lost but not to the latter in the presence of a denatured solvent. The non-human (e.g., murine) antibody of the "humanized" form is a chimeric antibody containing minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In most cases, the humanized antibody is a non-human species (donor antibody), such as a mouse, a rat, a rabbit or a non-human, having a desired specificity, affinity and ability to retain a residue from the hypervariable region of the recipient and is a human immunoglobulin (acceptor antibody) that has been replaced with a residue from the hypervariable region of the primate. The above-mentioned "human antibody" means a molecule derived from human immunoglobulin, wherein all the amino acid sequences constituting the antibody including the complementarity determining region and the structural region are composed of human immunoglobulin. The other chain(s) may be derived from another species or may be derived from another antibody class or subgroup, such as a portion of the heavy chain and / or light chain derived from a particular species or identical or homologous to a corresponding sequence in an antibody belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, "chimeric" antibodies (immunoglobulins) identical or homologous to the corresponding sequences in antibodies belonging to the subclass as well as fragments of said antibodies exhibiting the desired biological activity. As used herein, an "antibody variable domain" refers to the light and heavy chain portions of an antibody molecule comprising complementarity determining regions (CDRs; i.e., CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3), and the amino acid sequence of the framework region (FR) . VH refers to the variable domain of the heavy chain. VL refers to the variable domain of the light chain. "Complementarity determining regions" (CDRs; i.e., CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) refer to the amino acid residues of an antibody variable domain that are necessary for antigen binding. Each variable domain typically has three CDR regions identified as CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3.
In the present invention, the antibody binding to DLK1 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof may specifically include the CDR sequences stated in Table 1 below. Of these, Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0107639 has confirmed that the anti-DLK1 antibodies of two types (18A5 and 27F7) and two other 18A5 mutant antibodies (18A5_LS_1A1O and 18A5_AM_1A12) are capable of binding to cells where DLK1 is overexpressed, and may be developed into anti-DLK1 antibody-drug conjugates which can target DLK1 expressed on the surface of cancer cells to cause cancer cell apoptosis.

A "framework region" (FR) is a variable domain residue other than a CDR residue. Each variable domain typically has four FRs identified as FRI, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Embodiments of the present invention may comprise: at least one heavy chain FRI selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 1, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85 and 119; at least one heavy chain FR2 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 3, 17, 31, 45, 59, 73 and 87; at least one heavy chain FR3 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 5, 19, 33, 47, 61, 75 and 89; at least one heavy chain FR4 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 7, 21, 35, 49, 63, 77 and 91; at least one light chain FRI selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 8, 22, 36, 50, 64, 78, 92, 117 and 120; at least one light chain FR2 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 10, 24, 38, 52, 66, 80, 94 and 122; at least one light chain FR3 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 12, 26, 40, 54, 68, 82, 96, 118 and 123, and; at least one light chain FR4 selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98 and 125.
An "Fv" fragment is an antibody fragment that contains complete antibody recognition and binding sites. This region consists of one heavy chain variable domain and one light chain variable domain, for example, dimers substantially tightly covalently associated with scFv. A "Fab" fragment contains the variable and constant domains of the light chain and the variable and first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. F(ab')2 antibody fragments generally comprise a pair of Fab fragments covalently linked by their hinge cysteine near their carboxy ends. A "single chain Fv" or "scFv" antibody fragment comprises the VH and VL domains of an antibody, which domains are within a single polypeptide chain. The Fv polypeptide may further comprise a polypeptide linker between the VH domain and the VL domain such that the scFv can form the desired structure for antigen binding. The antibody according to the present invention may be monovalent or divalent, and comprises a single chain or a double chain. Functionally, the binding affinity of the antibody to the extracellular domain of DLK1 is in a range of 10-5M to 10- 12 M. For example, the binding affinity is 10-6M to 10- 1 2 M, 10-7 M to 10 12M, 10- 8M to 10- 12M, 10- 9M to 10- 12 M, 10- 5M to 10-"M, 10-6M to 10-"M, 10-7 M to 10-"M, 10 8 M to 10-1 M, 1- 9M to 10-"M, 10-1 0M to 10-"M, 10- 5M to 10-10M, 10- 6M to 10-10M, 1- 7 M to 10 1 0M, 10- 8M to 10- 10M, 10- 9M to 10- 10 M, 10-5M to 10- 9M, 10-6M to 10-9 M, 10-7 M to 10-9 M, 10-8 M to 10-9 M, 10-5M to 10-8 M, 10-6M to 10-8 M, 10-7 M to 10-8 M, 10-5M to 10-7 M, 10-6M to 10- 7M or 10 M to 10- 6M. Further, the antibodies of the present invention are antibodies with increased affinity for the antigen. The term "affinity" refers to the ability to specifically recognize and bind to specific sites of an antigen. High specificity, together with the specificity of these antibodies, is an important factor in the immune response. Any of various analyses known to the art, for example radioimmunoassays (RIA) and ELISA may be used to determine affinity, which may be expressed as various quantitative values. The affinity of an antibody to an antigen may generally be represented by the dissociation constant (Kd) of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. A lower Kd value indicates higher affinity of an antibody to an antigen. For example, the Kd value of the 18A5 antibody of the present invention is 0.52, and that of the 27F7 antibody is 0.22. This indicates these are high-affinity antibodies which bind with specificity to human DLKl. The antibody binding to the extracellular domain of DLK1, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, may comprise a heavy chain variable region including a sequence that has at least 90% sequence homology with a sequence selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 99, 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 111 and 127. The antibody binding to the extracellular domain of DLK1, or antigen-binding fragment, thereof, may comprise a heavy chain variable region selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 99, 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 111 and 127. Further, the antibody binding to the extracellular domain of DLK1, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, may comprise a light chain variable region including a sequence that has at least % sequence homology with a sequence selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 126 and 128. The antibody binding to the extracellular domain of DLK1, or antigen-binding fragment, thereof, may comprise a light chain variable region selected from the group comprising SEQ ID No. 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 126 and 128. The antibody or antibody fragment of the present invention may contain, within the scope of specifically recognizing DLK1, the sequence of the anti-DLK1 antibody of the present invention described herein as well as biological equivalents thereof. For example, additional changes may be made to the amino acid sequence of the antibody to further improve the binding affinity and
/ or other biological properties of the antibody. Such modifications include, for example, deletion, insertion and / or substitution of the amino acid sequence residues of the antibody. Such amino acid variations are made based on the relative similarity of the amino acid side chain substituents, such as hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, charge, size, and the like. By analysis of the size, shape and type of amino acid side chain substituents, arginine, lysine and histidine are both positively charged residues; Alanine, glycine and serine have similar sizes; Phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine have similar shapes. Thus, based on these considerations, arginine, lysine and histidine; alanine, glycine and serine; and phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine are biologically functional equivalents. Considering the mutation having the above-mentioned biological equivalent activity, the antibody of the present invention or the nucleic acid molecule encoding the same is interpreted to include a sequence showing substantial identity with the sequences under SEQ ID NO. The above mentioned substantial identity is determined by aligning the above-described sequence of the present invention with any other sequence as much as possible and analyzing the aligned sequence using an algorithm commonly used in the art, with a homology of at least 90%, and most preferably at least 95% homology, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%.
Alignment methods for sequence comparison are well known in the art. The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is accessible from NBCI and may be used in conjunction with sequence analysis programs such as blastp, blasm, blastx, tblastn and tblastx on the Internet. BLSAT is available at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/. A comparison of sequence homology using this program may be found at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/blast help.html. Based on this, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present invention is %, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% compared to the specified sequence or all described in the specification. Such homology may be determined by sequence comparison and / or alignment by methods known in the art. For example, sequence comparison algorithms (i.e., BLAST or BLAST 2.0), manual alignment, visual inspection may be used to determine the percent sequence homology of nucleic acids or proteins of the invention. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present invention may be isolated to recombinantly produce the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The nucleic acid is isolated and inserted into a replicable vector for further cloning (amplification of DNA) or for further expression. Based on this, the present invention relates to a vector comprising the nucleic acid in another aspect. "Nucleic acid" is meant to encompass DNA (gDNA and cDNA) and RNA molecules inclusively, and the nucleotides that are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids include natural nucleotides as well as analogs with modified sugar or base sites. The sequences of nucleic acids encoding heavy and light chain variable regions of the invention may be modified. Such modifications include addition, deletion, or non-conservative or conservative substitutions of nucleotides. The DNA encoding the antibody is readily isolated or synthesized using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes capable of specifically binding to the DNA encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody). Many vectors are available. Vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: signal sequence, origin of replication, one or more marker genes, enhancer elements, promoters, and transcription termination sequences.
As used in the present specification, the term "vector" refers to a plasmid vector as a means for expressing a gene of interest in a host cell; cosmid vector; viral vectors such as bacteriophage vectors, adenovirus vectors, retrovirus vectors, and adeno-associated virus vectors, and the like. The nucleic acid encoding the antibody in the vector is operably linked with a promoter. "Operatively linked" means a functional binding between a nucleic acid expression control sequence (e.g., an array of promoters, signal sequences, or transcriptional regulator binding sites) and another nucleic acid sequence, whereby the regulatory sequence is the other nucleic acid. To control transcription and / or translation of the sequence. In the case of a prokaryotic cell as a host, powerful promoters capable of promoting transcription (e.g., tac promoter, lac promoter, lacUV5 promoter, lpp promoter, pL promoter, pRX promoter, rac5 promoter, amp promoter, recA promoter, SP6 promoter, trp promoter and T7 promoter, etc.), ribosome binding sites for initiation of translation, and transcription / translation termination sequences. Also, for example, when the eukaryotic cell is a host, a promoter derived from the genome of the mammalian cell (e.g., a metallothionine promoter, a p-actin promoter, a human hemoglobin promoter and a human muscle creatine promoter) or a mammal Promoters derived from animal viruses (e.g., adenovirus late promoter, vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter, SV40 promoter, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, tk promoter of HSV, mouse breast tumor virus (MMTV) promoter, LTR promoter of HIV) , promoter of the Moroni virus, promoter of the Epsteinbar virus (EBV) and Loose Sacoma virus (RSV) promoter) may be used, and generally has a polyadenylation sequence as a transcription termination sequence. In some cases, the vector may be fused with other sequences to facilitate purification of the antibody expressed therefrom. Sequences to be fused include, for example, glutathione S transferase (Pharmacia, USA), maltose binding protein (NEB, USA), FLAG (IBI, USA) and 6x His (hexahistidine; Quiagen, USA). Such vectors include antibiotic resistance genes commonly used in the art as selection markers and include, for example, resistance genes against ampicillin, gentamicin, carbenicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, kanamycin, geneticin, neomycin and tetracycline. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a cell transformed with the above mentioned vector. The cells used to produce the antibodies of the invention may be prokaryote, yeast or higher eukaryote cells, but are not limited thereto.
Bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis, Streptomyces and Pseudomonas (e.g. Pseudomonas putida), and prokaryotic host cells such as Proteus mirabilis and Staphylococcus (e.g., Staphylococcus carnosus) may be used. However, animal cells are of the greatest interest, and examples of useful host cell lines are, but are not limited to, COS-7, BHK, CHO, CHOKI, DXB-11, DG-44, CHO / -DHFR, CVI, COS-7, HEK293, BHK, TM4, VERO, HELA, MDCK, BRL 3A, W138, Hep G2, SK-Hep, MMT, TRI, MRC 5, FS4,3T3, RIN, A549, PC12, K562, PER.C6, SP2/0, NS-0, U20S, or HT1080. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for preparing the above-stated antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, the method comprising: (a) a step of culturing the cells; and (b) a step of recovering the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof from the cultured cells. The cells may be cultured in various media. Commercially available media may be used without limitation as the culture medium. All other necessary supplements known to those skilled in the art may be included at appropriate concentrations. Culture conditions, such as temperature, pH, and the like, are already in use with host cells selected for expression, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art. In the recovery of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, impurities may be removed by, for example, centrifugation or ultrafiltration, and the result may be purified using, for example, affinity chromatography or the like. Other purification techniques such as anion or cation exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography and the like may be used.

In the present specification, "conjugates" refers to cell binding agents that are covalently linked to one or more molecules of a cytotoxic compound. Here, "cell binding agent " is a molecule having affinity for a biological target, for example, a ligand, protein, antibody, specifically a monoclonal antibody, protein or antibody fragment, and the binding agent serves to direct the biologically active compound to the biological target. In one aspect of the present invention, the conjugate may be designed to target tumor cells through cell surface antigens. The antigen may be a cell surface antigen that is overexpressed or expressed in an abnormal cell type. Specifically, the target antigen may be expressed only on proliferative cells (e.g., tumor cells). Target antigens may be selected based on different expression, usually between proliferative and normal tissues. In the present invention, a ligand is bonded to a linker. In the present specification, "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule which, through at least 1 antigen recognizing site located in the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule, can bind with specificity to a target, for example a carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid or polypeptide, etc. The term "antibody" as used in the present specification encompasses not only complete monoclonal or polyclonal antibody, but also a given antigen-binding part (for example, "antigen-binding fragment") of a complete antibody having the capacity to bind with specificity to a certain antigen) or a single chain thereof, a fused protein comprising antibody, or any other modified arrangement of immunoglobulin molecule comprising an antigen recognizing site, non limiting examples of which are: Fab; Fab'; F(ab') 2Fd fragment; Fv fragment; single domain antibody (dAb) fragment; isolated complementarity determining region (CDR); single chain (scFv) and single domain antibody (e.g. shark and camel antibody), a maxibody, a minibody, an intrabody, a diabody, a triabody, a tetrabody, a v-NAR, or a bis-scFv (See e.g. the literature

Solid forms suitable for injection may also be prepared as emulsions or in the form of polypeptide encapsulated in liposome. As used herein, the phrase "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to the amount required to achieve the desired therapeutic result (for dose and duration and means of administration). An effective amount is at least the minimum amount of active agent required to confer a therapeutic benefit to a subject, and is less than the toxic amount. For example, the amount administered may be in a range of approximately 1OOng to approximately 100mg/kg per patient, more typically approximately 1 g/kg to approximately 10mg/kg. In a case where an active compound is a salt, ester, amide or prodrug, the dose is calculated based on the parent compound, and accordingly the actual weight used also increases proportionally. The pyrrolobenzodiazepine compound according to the present invention may be formulated to comprise 0.1mg to 3000mg,
1mg to 2000mg, or 10mg to 1000mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form, but is not limited thereto. The active ingredient may be administered to give an active compound peak plasma concentration of approximately 0.05 M to 100M, 1 M to 50[M, or 5 M to 30M. For example, optionally it may be administered by intravenous injection of a solution of 0.1 w/v% to 5 w/v% active ingredient in saline solution. In a pharmaceutical composition, the concentration of the active compound is determined by the absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the drug, and other factors known not persons skilled in the art. The dose administered may vary depending on the severity of symptoms or the disease. Further, the dose and administration therapy for a specific patient may be adjusted according to the professional judgment of an administration supervisor, giving general consideration to the degree of the patient's symptoms and illness, need for the drug, age, and reactivity to the drug, etc. The range of concentrations stated in the present invention are only intended as an example, and the manner of carrying out the claimed composition is not limited hereto. Further,, the active ingredient may be administered once, or smaller doses may be administered across multiple administrations. The prodrug compound, or prodrug-linker compound, or prodrug-linker-ligand conjugate compound may be used to treat proliferative diseases, in particular cancer. The term "proliferative disease" refers to excessive, abnormal, undesired or unregulated cell growth either in vitro or in vivo, such as hyperplasia or cytogenesis. Non-limiting examples of proliferative disease include neoplasm, tumor, cancer, leukemia, psoriasis, bone disease, fibrous dysplasia and pharyngeal arteriosclerosis. Non-limiting examples of cancer are lung cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, gastrointestinal cancer, colon cancer, intestinal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain cancer, sarcoma, osteosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and melanoma. Benefits of the invention The antibody-drug conjugate according to the present invention, by comprising an anti DLK1 antibody which binds with specificity to DLKl-expressing cells and is internalized into a cell exhibits the benefits of being able to deliver a drug effectively, selectively and with specificity, and allowing for a drug to bind stably to an antibody to exhibit the intended cytotoxicity while maintaining in vivo stability. In particular, by grafting technology for a linker including a self immolative group, the present invention provides a drug-linker-ligand system which allows a drug and/or toxin to stably reach a target cell and effectively exhibit a drug effect while having substantially reduced toxicity.

*NT: not tested. Most of the antibody-drug complexes were confirmed to have substantially improved cytotoxicity in pancreatic cancer cell lines with DLK over-expression than in pancreatic cancer cell lines without DLKl expression. In pancreatic cancer cell lines over-expressing DLK, pyrrolobenzodiazepine based antibody-drug complexes (ADCs 5, 7 and 8) were confirmed to exhibit stronger cytotoxicity than auristatin-based antibody-drug complexes (ADCs 1, 2, 3 and 4). Further,, pyrrolobenzodiazepine based antibody-drug complexes was confirmed to exhibit stronger cytotoxicity compared to auristatin-based antibody-drug complexes with longer reaction time.
Experimental Example 2: In vivo efficacy assessment In a patient-derived tumor animal model, the efficacy of the ADCs prepared in <Embodiment 3> was assessed. Specifically, the patient-derived small cell lung cancer mouse model (PDX model) was provided by Champions Oncology. The control group of the PDX model was intravenously administered PBS in the tail, while the experimental groups were administered ADC4 at 6mpk/Q4D*4, 6 mpk/QW*4 and 9 mpk/QW*4, followed by measurement of tumor size. In the results, as shown in Fig. 1, tumors disappeared from all 8 individual experimental animals in each of the 6 mpk/Q4D*4 group and the 9 mpk/QW*4 group (CR, complete remission), while tumors disappeared in 6 of the 8 experimental animals in the 6 mpk/QW*4 group.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting DLK1 and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same may be used in production of drugs for treatment and/or prevention of diseases proliferative and/or angiogenetic diseases, for example, cancer.
