- 3. Background of the Invention Nucleated cells are highly sensitive to hypoxia and even short periods of ischemia in multi-cellular organisms can have dramatic effects on cellular morphology, gene .
transcription, and enzymatic processes. Mitochondria, as the major site of oxygen metabolism, are particularly sensitive to changes in oxygen levels and during hypoxia release reactive oxygen species that chemically modify intracellular constituents such as lipids and proteins. Clinically these effects manifest as an inflammatory response in the patient. Despite intensive investigations of cellular responses to hypoxia little is known regarding the initiation of acute inflammation.
Acute inflammatory responses can result from a wide range of diseases and naturally occurring events such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Common medical procedures can also lead to localized and systemic inflammation. Left untreated inflammation can result in Significant tissue loss and may ultimately lead to multi-system failure and death. Interfering with the inflammatory response after injury may be one method to reduce tissue loss.
Inflammatory diseases and acute inflammatory responses resulting from tissue injury, however, cannot be explained by cellular events alone. Accumulating evidence .supports a major role for the serum innate response or complement system in inflammation.
Studies to date have looked at tissue injury resulting from ischemia and reperfusion as one type of inflammatory disorder that is complement dependent. For example, in the rat =

= 60412-4434D1 myocardial model of reperfusion injury, pretreatment of the rats with the soluble form of the complement type 1 receptor dramatically reduced injury. Understanding how complement activation contributes to an inflammatory response is an area of active investigation.
Inflammatory diseases or disorders are potentially life-threatening, costly, and affect a large number of people every year. Thus, effective treatments of inflammatory diseases or disorders are needed.

6. Detailed Description 6.1. Definitions:
For convenience, certain terms employed in the specification, examples, and appended claims are provided. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
"A" and "an" are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, "an element"
means one element or more than one element.
"Amino acid" is used herein to refer to either natural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine and D or L optical isomers, and amino acid analogs and peptidomimetics.
"Antibody" is used herein to refer to binding molecules including immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen-binding site. Immunoglobulin molecules useful in the invention can be of any class (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA) or subclass.
Native antibodies and immunoglobulins are usually heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains.
Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain followed by a number of constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain at one end and a constant domain at its other end. Antibodies include, but are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, bispecific, chimeric, partially or fully humanized antibodies, fully human antibodies (i.e., generated in a transgenic mouse expressing human immunoglobulin genes), camel antibodies, and anti-idiotypic antibodies. An antibody, or generally any molecule, "binds specifically" to an antigen (or other molecule) if the antibody binds preferentially to the antigen, and, e.g., has
- 7 -= CA 02812132 2013-04-04
8 PCT/US2005/006276 less than about 30%, preferably 20%, 10%, or 1% cross-reactivity with another molecule.
The terms "antibody" and "immunoglobulin" are used interchangeably.
"Antibody fragment" or "antibody portion" are used herein to refer to any derivative of an antibody which is less than full-length. In exemplary embodiments, the antibody fragment retains at least a significant portion of the full-length antibody's specific binding ability. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(abI)2, scFv, Fv, dsFAr diabody, minibody, Fd fragments, and single chain antibodies.
The antibody fragment may be produced by any means. For instance, the antibody fragment may be enzymatically or chemically produced by fragmentation of an intact antibody, it may be recombinantly produced from a gene encoding the partial antibody sequence, or it may be wholly or partially synthetically produced. The antibody fragment may optionally be a single chain antibody fragment. Alternatively, the fragment may comprise multiple chains which are linked together, for instance, by disulfide linkages. The fragment may also optionally be a multimolecular complex. A functional antibody fragment will typically comprise at least about 50 amino acids and more typically will comprise at least about 200 amino acids.
"Antigen-binding site" is used herein to refer to the variable domain of a heavy chain associated with the variable domain of a light chain.
"Bind" or "binding" are used herein to refer to detectable relationships or associations (e.g. biochemical interactions) between molecules.
"Cells," "host cells" or "recombinant host cells" are terms used interchangeably herein. It is understood that such terms refer not only to the particular subject cell but to the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Because certain modifications may occur in succeeding generations due to either mutation or environmental influences, such progeny may not, in fact, be identical to the parent cell, but are still included within the scope of the term as used herein.
"Comprise" and "comprising" are used in the inclusive, open sense, meaning that additional elements may be included.
"Consensus sequence" is used herein to refer to the sequence formed from the most frequently occurring amino acids (or nucleotides) in a family of related sequences (See.
e.g., Winnaker, From Genes to Clones, 1987). In a family of proteins, each position in the consensus sequence is occupied by the amino acid occurring most frequently at that =

position in the family. If two amino acids occur equally frequently, either can be included in the consensus sequence. A "consensus framework" refers to the framework region in the consensus immunoglobulin sequence.
A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in a natural immunoglobulin can be preferably replaced with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Alternatively, in another embodiment, mutations can be introduced randomly along all or part of a natural immunoglobulin coding sequence, such as by saturation mutageriesis, and the resultant mutants can be screened for biological activity.
"Detectable label" is used herein to refer to a molecule capable of detection, including, but not limited to, radioactive isotopes, fluorophores, chemiluminescent moieties, enzymes, enzyme substrates, enzyme cofactors, enzyme inhibitors, dyes, metal ions, ligands (e.g., biotin or haptens) and the like. "Fluorophore" refers to a substance or a portion thereof which is capable of exhibiting fluorescence in the detectable range.
Particular examples of labels which may be used under the invention include fluorescein, rhodamine, dansyl, umbelliferone, Texas red, luminol, NADPH, beta-galactosidase, and horseradish peroxidase.
"Inhibitor" or "IgM inhibitor" or "antagonist" as used herein refers to an agent that reduces or blocks (completely or partially) an interaction between a natural antibody and another molecule involved in an inflammatory cascade. An inhibitor may antagonize one or more of the following activities of a natural IgM: (i) inhibit or reduce an interaction (e.g., binding) between the IgM and an ischemia-specific antigen; (ii) inhibit or reduce an interaction (e.g., binding) between the natural IgM and a component of the complement pathway, e.g., Clq; (iii) neutralize the natural IgM by, e.g., sequestering the immunoglobulin and/or targeting its degradation; or (iv) inhibit or reduce production of the
- 9 -_ natural IgM e.g., blocks synthesis, assembly, and/or posttranslational modifications of the IgM. The inhibitor can bt. orotein or a peptide, an antibody or fragment thereof (e.g., an anti-idiotypic antibody), a modified antibody, a carbohydrate, a glycoprotein, or a small organic molecule.
"Interaction" refers to a physical association between two or more molecules, e.g., binding. The interaction may be direct or indirect.
"Inflammatory disease" is used herein to refer to a disease or disorder that is caused or contributed to by a complicated set of functional and cellular adjustments involving acute or chronic changes in microcirculation, movement of fluids, and influx and activation of inflammatory cells (e.g., leukocytes) and complement, and included autoimmune diseases. Examples of such diseases and conditions include, but are not limited to:
reperfusion injury, ischemia injury, stroke, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic ptupura, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, hyper-IgM
immunodeficiency, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, sepsis, myocarditis, encephalitis, transplant rejection, hepatitis, thyroiditis (e.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves disease), osteoporosis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, Type I diabetes, gout, dermatitis, alopecia areata, systemic lupus erythematosus, lichen sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, diabetic retinopathy, pelvic inflammatory disease, periodontal disease, arthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis (e.g. chronic iridocyclitis), psoriasis, osteoporosis, nephropathy in diabetes mellitus, asthma, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic inflammatory liver disease, chronic inflammatory lung disease, lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic inflammatory liver disease, chronic inflammatory lung disease, lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, burns, and other acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS; e.g. multiple sclerosis), gastrointestinal system, the skin and associated structures, the immune system, the hepato-biliary system, or any site in the body where pathology can occur with an inflammatory component.
An "isolated" molecule, e.g., an isolated IgM, refers to a condition of being separate or purified from other molecules present in the natural environment.
"Natural IgM" is used herein to refer to an IgM antibody that is naturally produced in a mammal (e.g., a human). They have a pentameric ring structure wherein the individual monomers resemble IgGs thereby having two light (K or k) chains and two heavy (p) chains. Further, the heavy chains contain an additional CH4 domain. The monomers form a
- 10 -_ pentamer by disulfide bonds between adjacent heavy chains. The pentameric ring is closed by the disulfide bonding between a J chain and two heavy chains. Because of its high number of antigen binding sites, a natural IgM antibody is an effective agglutinator of antigen. Production of natural IgM antibodies in a subject are important in the initial activation of B-cells, macrophages, and the complement system. IgM is the first immunoglobulin synthesized in an antibody response.
"Nucleic acid" is used herein to refer to polynucleotides such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and, where appropriate, ribonucleic acid (RNA). The term should also be understood to include, as equivalents, analogs of either RNA or DNA made from nucleotide analogs, and, as applicable to the embodiment being described, single (sense or antisense) and double-stranded polynucleotides.
"Operatively linked" is used herein to refer to a juxtaposition wherein the components so described are in a relationship permitting them to function in their intended manner. For example, a coding sequence is "operably linked" to another coding sequence when RNA polymerase will transcribe the two coding sequences into a single mRNA, which is then translated into a single polypeptide having amino acids derived from both coding sequences. The coding sequences need not be contiguous to one another so long as the expressed sequences ultimately process to produce the desired protein. An expression control sequence operatively linked to a coding sequence is ligated such that expression of the coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatible with the expression control sequences. As used herein, the term "expression control sequences" refers to nucleic acid sequences that regulate the expression of a nucleic acid sequence to which it is operatively linked. Expression control sequences are operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence when the expression control sequences control and regulate the transcription and, as appropriate, translation of the nucleic acid sequence. Thus, expression control sequences can include appropriate promoters, enhancers, transcription terminators, a start codon (i.e., ATG) in front of a protein-encoding gene, splicing signals for introns, maintenance of the correct reading frame of that gene to permit proper translation of the mRNA, and stop codons. The term "control sequences" is intended to include, at a minimum, components whose presence can influence expression, and can also include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for example, leader sequences and fusion partner sequences. Expression control sequences can include a promoter.
- 11 -"Patient", "subject" or "host" are used herein to refer to either a human or a non-human mammal.
"Peptide" is used herein to refer to a polymer of amino acids of relatively short length (e.g. less than 50 amino acids). The polymer may be linear or branched, it may comprise modified amino acids, and it may be interrupted by non-amino acids.
The term also encompasses an amino acid polymer that has been modified; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation, such as conjugation with a labeling component.
"Promoter" is used herein to refer to a minimal sequence sufficient to direct transcription. Also included in the invention are those promoter elements which are sufficient to render promoter-dependent gene expression controllable for cell-type specific, tissue-specific, or inducible by external signals or agents; such elements may be located in the 5' or 3' regions of the of a polynucleotide sequence. Both constitutive and inducible promoters, are included in the invention (see e.g., Bitter et al., Methods in Enzymology 153:516-544, 1987). For example, when cloning in bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as pL of bacteriophage, plac, ptrp, ptac (ptrp-lac hybrid promoter) and the like may be used. When cloning in mammalian cell systems, promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the reh-ovirus long terminal repeat; the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K
promoter) may be used. Promoters produced by recombinant DNA or synthetic techniques may also be used to provide for transcription of the nucleic acid sequences of the invention.
Tissue-specific regulatory elements may be used. Including, for example, regulatory elements from genes or viruses that are differentially expressed in different tissues.
"Specifically binds" is used herein to refer to the interaction between two molecules to form a complex that is relatively stable under physiologic conditions. The term is used herein in reference to various molecules, including, for example, the interaction of an antibody and an antigen (e.g. a peptide). Specific binding can be characterized by a dissociation constant of at least about 1x10-6 M, generally at least about 1x104 M, usually at least about 1x10-8 M, and particularly at least about 1x10-9 M or lx 1 0-1 M or greater.
Methods for determining whether two molecules specifically bind are well known and include, for example, equilibrium dialysis, surface plasmon resonance, and the like.
- 12 -_ "Stringency hybridization" or "hybridizes under low stringency, medium stringency, high stringency, or very high stringency conditions" is used herein to describes conditions for hybridization and washing. Guidance for performing hybridization reactions can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y.
(1989), 6.3.1-6:3.6. Aqueous and non-aqueous methods are described in that reference and either can be used. Specific hybridization conditions referred to herein are as follows: 1) low stringency hybridization conditions in 6X sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45 C, followed by two washes in 0.2X
SSC, 0.1%
SDS at least at 50 C (the temperature of the washes can 'be increased to 55 C
for low stringency conditions); 2) medium stringency hybridization conditions in 6X
SSC at about 45 C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 60 C; 3) high stringency hybridization conditions in 6X SSC at about 45 C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X
= SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65 C; and preferably 4) very high stringency hybridization conditions are 0.5M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS at 65 C, followed by one or more washes at 0.2X
SSC, 1% SDS at 65 C. Very high stringency conditions (4) are the preferred conditions and the ones that should be used unless otherwise specified. Calculations of homology or sequence identity between sequences (the terms are used interchangeably herein) are performed as follows.
To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences, or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment and non-homologous sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). In a preferred embodiment, the length of a reference sequence aligned for comparison purposes is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, 60%, and even more preferably at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position.
The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences and the percent homology between two sequences is a function of the number of conserved positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be
- 13 -=

introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity and/or homology between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453 ) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available on the world wide web with the extension gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In yet another preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package (available on the world wide web with the extension gcg.com), using a NWSgapdna CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70; or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3,4, 5, or 6. A
particularly preferred set of parameters (and the one that should be used unless otherwise specified) are a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frame shift gap penalty of 5.
The percent identity and/or homology between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences can be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989) CABIOS, 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4.
"Treating" is used herein to refer to any treatment of, or prevention of, or inhibition of a disorder or disease in a subject and includes by way of example: (a) preventing the disease or disorder from occurring in a subject that may be predisposed to the disease or disorder, but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) inhibiting the disease or disorder, i.e., arresting its progression; or (c) relieving or ameliorating the disease or disorder, i.e., causing regression. Thus, treating as used herein includes, for example, repair and regeneration of damaged or injured tissue or cells at the site of injury or prophylactic treatments to prevent damage, e.g., before surgery.
"Vector" as used herein refers to a nucleic acid molecule, which is capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it has been operatively linked and can include a plasmid, cosmid, or viral vector. One type of preferred vector is an episome, i.e., a nucleic acid capable of extra-chromosomal replication. Preferred vectors are those capable of autonomous replication and/or expression of nucleic acids to which they are linked.
Vectors may be capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively
- 14 -_ linked. A vector may also be capable of integrating into the host DNA.. In the present specification, "plasmid" and "vector" are used interchangeably as a plasmid (a circular arrangement of double stranded DNA) is the most commonly used form of a vector.
However, the invention is intended to include such other forms of vectors which serve equivalent functions and which become known in the art subsequently hereto.
Viral vectors include, e.g., replication defective retroviruses, adenoviru.ses and adeno-associated viruses.
6.2 Natural Ig111 antibodies The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of natural immuno globulins (Ig), in particular natural IgMs. Certain IgMs may be obtained from the hybridoma that has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection and provided Accession Number PTA-3507.

The CDR1 domain of the light chain variable region corresponds to amino acids 23 to 37 of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 10), which is encoded by nucleotides 67-111 of SEQ ID NO: 7 (SEQ ID NO: 9), and the CDR2 domain of the light chain variable region corresponds to amino acids 53 to 59 of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 12), which is encoded by nucleotides 157 to 177 of SEQ ID NO: 7 (SEQ ID NO: 11). Due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, other nucleotide sequences can encode the amino acid sequences listed herein.

Further nucleic acid molecules may comprise light chain sequences, which hybridize under stringent conditions, e.g. low, medium, high or very high stringency conditions, to SEQ ID NOs: 7, 9 or 11.
Nucleic acid molecules can have at least 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97 %, 98% or 99%

The invention also features nucleic acid molecules which hybridize to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a light chain variable region of a natural antibody or portion thereof, e.g., a light chain variable region of SEQ ID

For example, the nucleic acid can encode a light chain variable region having a CDRI domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10.
The nucleic acid encoding the heavy or light chain variable region can be of murine or human origin, or can comprise a combination of murine and human amino acid sequences. For example, the nucleic acid can encode a heavy chain variable region comprising the CDR1 of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 4) and/or the CDR2 of SEQ ID

- 18 --6.3 Inhibitors of Natural Igilf Antibodies 6.3.1 Peptide Inhibitors of Natural IgM Antibodies The invention further features IgM inhibitors. In one embodiment, the IgM
inhibitor is a peptide that specifically binds to a natural IgM and thereby blocks binding to the antigen. Such peptides can include, but are not limited to, the asparagine-rich peptides described in Table 1 below.

14 xNNNxNNxNNNN Asparagine-rich Consensus 16 NrNNNNGNYTYRN P1 98 = = SN P7 The peptides can also include certain "self-peptides" as described in Table 2 below.

36 LMKNMDPLNDNI Self-1 38 LMICNMDPLNDNV Self-2 ("N-2") As described in more detail in the Exemplification, self peptides bind to the natural IgM antibody igmcm-22.
- 19-In addition to the peptides described above, the present invention encompasses modified peptides whose activity may be identified and/or assayed using a variety of methods well known to the skilled artisan. For example, binding of the peptide to the IgM
may be detected using biological assays, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, or immonocytochernical techniques, such as those described below. In particular, the ' biological activity (e.g., the ability to a bind natural IgM antibody) of a modified peptide can be characterized relative to that of P8 (SEQ ID NO: 30) or N2 (SEQ ID NO:
38).
Such modified peptides, when designed to retain at least one activity of the naturally-occurring form of the protein, are considered "functional equivalents" of the peptides described in more detail herein. Such modified peptides may be produced, for instance, by amino acid substitution, deletion, or addition, which substitutions may consist in whole or part by conservative amino acid substitutions.
For instance, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated conservative amino acid substitution, such as replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, or a threonine with a serine, will not have a major effect on the biological activity of the resulting molecule. Whether a change in the amino acid sequence of a peptide results in a functional homolog may be readily determined by assessing the ability of the variant peptide to produce a response similar to that of the wild-type peptide (e.g.
ability to bind natural IgM antibodies). Peptides in which more than one replacement has taken place may readily be tested in the same manner.
Mutagenesis of the peptide may give rise to homologs, which have improved in vivo half-lives relative to the corresponding wild-type peptide. For example, the altered peptide may be rendered more stable to proteolytic degradation or other cellular processes which result in destruction or inactivation of the protein.
The amino acid sequences for a population of peptide homologs can be aligned, preferably to promote the highest homology possible. Such a population of variants may include, for example, homologs from one or more species, or homologs from the same species but which differ due to mutation. Amino acids which appear at each position of the aligned sequences are selected to create a degenerate set of combinatorial sequences. In certain embodiments, the combinatorial library is produced by way of a degenerate library of genes encoding a library of polypeptides which each include at least a portion of =
potential peptide sequences. For instance, a mixture of synthetic oligonucleotides may be
- 20 -_ enzymatically ligated into gene sequences such that the degenerate set of potential nucleotide sequences are expressible as individual polypeptides, or alternatively, as a set of larger fusion proteins (e.g., for phage display).
There are many ways by which the library of potential homologs may be generated from a degenerate oligonucleotide sequence. Chemical synthesis of a degenerate gene sequence may be carried out in an automatic DNA synthesizer, and the synthetic genes may then be ligated into an appropriate vector for expression. One purpose of a degenerate set of genes is to provide, in one mixture, all of the sequences encoding the desired set of potential peptide sequences. The synthesis of degenerate oligonucleotides is well known in the art (see for example, Narang, SA (1983) Tetrahedron 39:3; Itakura et al., (1981) Recombinant DNA, Proc. 3rd Cleveland Sympos. Macromolecules, ed. AG Walton, Amsterdam: Elsevier pp. 273-289; Itakura et al., (1984) Annu. Rev. Biochem.
53:323;
Itakura etal., (1984) Science 198:1056; Ike et al., (1983) Nucleic Acid Res.
11:477). Such techniques have been employed in the directed evolution of other proteins (see, for example, Scott et al., (1990) Science 249:386-390; Roberts et al., (1992) PNAS
USA
89:2429-2433; Devlin et al., (1990) Science 249: 404-406; Cwirla et al., (1990) PNAS USA
87: 6378-6382; as well as U.S. Patent Nos: 5,223,409, 5,198,346, and 5,096,815).
Alternatively, other forms of mutagenesis may be utilized to generate a combinatorial library. For example, peptide homologs may be generated and isolated from a library by screening using, for example, alanine scanning mutagenesis and the like (Ruf et al., (1994) Biochemistry 33:1565-1572; Wang et al., (1994) J. Biol. Chem.
269:3095-3099;
Balint etal., (1993) Gene 137:109-118; Grodberg et al., (1993) Eur. J.
Biochem. 218:597-601; Nagashima et al., (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268:2888-2892; Lowman et al., (1991) Biochemistry 30:10832-10838; and Cunningham et al., (1989) Science 244:1081-1085), by linker scanning mutagenesis (Gustin et al., (1993) Virology 193:653-660; Brown et al., (1992) Mol. Cell Biol. 12:2644-2652; McKnight et al., (1982) Science 232:316);
by saturation mutagenesis (Meyers etal., (1986) Science 232:613); by PCR
mutagenesis (Leung et al., (1989) Method Cell Mol. Biol. 1:11-19); or by random mutagenesis (Miller et al., (1992) A Short Course in Bacterial Genetics, CSHL Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY;
and Greener et al., (1994) Strategies in Mol. Biol. 7:32-34).
A wide range of techniques are known in the art for screening gene products of combinatorial libraries made by point mutations and truncations, and for screening cDNA
libraries for gene products having a certain property (e.g., the ability to bind a natural IgM
-21-. WO 2005/085288 PCT/US2005/006276 antibody). Such techniques will be generally adaptable for rapid screening of the gene libraries generated by the combinatorial mutagenesis of peptide homologs. The most widely used techniques for screening large gene libraries typically comprises cloning the =
gene library into replicable expression vectors, transforming appropriate cells with the resulting library of vectors, and expressing the combinatorial genes under conditions in which detection of a desired activity facilitates relatively easy isolation of the vector encoding the gene whose product was detected. Each of the illustrative assays described below are amenable to high through-put analysis as necessary to screen large numbers of degenerate sequences created by combinatorial mutagenesis techniques.
In an illustrative embodiment of a screening assay, candidate combinatorial gene products are passed over a column containing beads having attached to it the binding protein, such as an IgM or portion thereof. Those candidate combinatorial gene products that are retained on the column may be further characterized for binding to IgMs in a manner that could be useful in blocking natural IgM antibody binding and treating inflammatory diseases.
In another example, the gene library may be expressed as a fusion protein on the surface of a viral particle. For instance, in the filamentous phage system, foreign peptide sequences may be expressed on the surface of infectious phage, thereby conferring two benefits. First, because these phage may be applied to affinity matrices at very high concentrations, a large number of phage may be screened at one time. Second, because each infectious phage displays the combinatorial gene product on its surface, if a particular phage is recovered from an affinity matrix in low yield, the phage may be amplified by another round of infection. The group of almost identical E. coli filamentous phages M13, fd, and fl are most often used in phage display libraries, as either of the phage gIII or gVIII
coat proteins may be used to generate fusion proteins without disrupting the ultimate packaging of the viral particle (Ladner et al., PCT publication WO 90/02909;
Garrard et al., PCT publication WO 92/09690; Marks et al., (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267:16007-16010;
Griffiths et al., (1993) EMBO J. 12:725-734; Clackson et al., (1991) Nature 352:624-628;
and Barbas et al., (1992) PNAS USA 89:4457-4461). Other phage coat proteins may be used as appropriate.
The invention also provides for mimetics (e.g., non-peptide agents) which are able to mimic binding of the authentic peptide to a natural IgM antibody. For example, the critical residues of a peptide which are involved in molecular recognition of a natural IgM
- 22 -antibody may be determined and used to generate peptidomimetics that bind to a natural IgM antibody.
The peptidomimetic may then be used as an inhibitor of the wild-type protein by binding to the natural IgM antibodies and covering up the critical residues needed for interaction with the wild-type protein, thereby preventing interaction of the protein and the natural IgM antibody.
Peptidomimetic compounds may be generated which mimic those residues in binding to the natural IgM
antibody. For instance, non-hydrolyzable peptide analogs of such residues may be generated using benzodiazepine (e.g., see Freidinger et al., in Peptides: Chemistry and Biology, G.R. Marshall ed., ESCOM Publisher: Leiden, Netherlands, 1988), azepine (e.g., see Huffman et al., in Peptides: Chemistry and Biology, G.R. Marshall ed., ESCOM Publisher: Leiden, Netherlands, 1988), substituted gamma lactam rings (Garvey et al., in Peptides: Chemistry and Biology, G.R. Marshall ed., ESCOM Publisher: Leiden, Netherlands, 1988), keto-methylene pseudopeptides (Ewenson et al., (1986) J. Med. Chem. 29:295;
and Ewenson et al., in Peptides: Structure and Function (Proceedings of the 9th American Peptide Symposium) Pierce Chemical Co. Rockland, IL, 1985), 13-turn dipeptide cores (Nagai et al., (1985) Tetrahedron Lett 26:647;
and Sato et al., (1986) J Chem Soc Perkin Trans 1:1231), and P-aminoalcohols (Gordon et al., (1985) Biochem Biophys Res Comtnun 126:419; and Dann et al., (1986) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 13471).

It is expected that DNA sequence polymorphisms that lead to changes in the amino acid sequences of the subject proteins will exist among mammalian cells. One skilled in the art will appreciate that these variations in one or more nucleotides (from less than 1% up to about 3 or 5% or possibly more of the nucleotides) of the nucleic acids encoding a
-24 -particular peptide of the invention may exist among individuals of a given species due to natural allelic variation. Any and all such nucleotide variations and resulting amino acid polymoiphisms are within the scope of this invention. Preferred nucleic acids encode a peptide, which is at least about 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%
homologous or more with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 or another peptide of the invention. Nucleic acids which encode peptides having an activity of a peptide of the invention and having at least about 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99% homology or more with SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, or another peptide of the invention are also within the scope of the invention.
Bias in codon choice within genes in a single species appears related to the level of expression of the protein encoded by that gene. Accordingly, the invention encompasses nucleic acid sequences which have been optimized for improved expression in a host cell by altering the frequency of codon usage in the nucleic acid sequence to approach the frequency of preferred codon usage of the host cell. Due to codon degeneracy, it is possible to optimize the nucleotide sequence without effecting the amino acid sequence of an encoded polypeptide. Accordingly, the instant invention relates to any nucleotide sequence that encodes the peptides set forth in SEQ ID NO: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36,38 or other peptides of the invention.
Nucleic acids within the scope of the invention may also contain linker sequences, modified restriction endonuclease sites and other sequences useful for molecular cloning, expression or purification of such recombinant polypeptides.
A nucleic acid encoding a peptide of the invention may be obtained from mRNA
or genomic DNA from any organism in accordance with protocols described herein, as well as those generally known to those skilled in the art. A cDNA encoding a peptide of the invention, for example, may be obtained by isolating total mRNA from an organism, e.g. a bacteria, virus, mammal, etc. Double stranded cDNAs may then be prepared from the total mRNA, and subsequently inserted into a suitable plasmid or bacteriophage vector using any one of a number of known techniques. A gene encoding a peptide of the invention may also be cloned using established polymerase chain reaction techniques in accordance with the nucleotide sequence information provided by the invention.
-25 -In another aspect of the invention, the subject nucleic acid is provided in an expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a peptide of the invention and operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence. It should be understood that the design of the expression vector may depend on such factors as the choice of the host cell to be transformed and/or the type of protein desired to be expressed. Moreover, the vector's copy number, the ability to control that copy number and the expression of any other protein encoded by the vector, such as antibiotic markers, should also be considered.
As will be apparent, the subject gene constructs may be used to cause expression of a peptide of the invention in cells propagated in culture, e.g., to produce proteins or polypeptides, including fusion proteins or polypeptides, for purification.
This invention also pertains to a host cell transfected with a recombinant gene in order to express a peptide of the invention. The host cell may be any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. For example, a polypeptide of the present invention may be expressed in bacterial cells, such as E. coli, insect cells (baculovirus), yeast, or mammalian cells. Other suitable host cells are known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, the host cell may be supplemented with tRNA molecules not typically found in the host so as to optimize expression of the peptide. Other methods suitable for maximizing expression of the peptide will be known to those in the art.
6.3.3 Methods of Producing Peptide Inhibitors Peptide inhibitors may be synthesized, for example, chemically, ribosomally in a cell free system, or ribosomally within a cell. Chemical synthesis of peptides of the invention may be carried out using a variety of art recognized methods, including stepwise solid phase synthesis, semi-synthesis through the confomiationally-assisted re-ligation of peptide fragments, enzymatic ligation of cloned or synthetic peptide segments, and chemical ligation. Merrifield et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc., Volume 85, page 2149 (1964), by Houghten et al. in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Volume 82, page 5132 (1985), and by Stewart and Young in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, Pierce Chem. Co, Rockford, Ill.
(1984). Native chemical ligation employs a chemoselective reaction of two unprotected peptide segments to produce a transient thioester-linked intennediate. The transient thioester-linked intermediate then spontaneously undergoes a rearrangement to provide the full length ligation product having a native peptide bond at the ligation site. Full length ligation products are chemically identical to proteins produced by cell free synthesis. Full
- 26 -_ length ligation products may be refolded and/or oxidized, as allowed, to form native disulfide-containing protein molecules. (see e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 6,184,344 and 6,174,530;

In another variation, peptide production may be achieved using in vitro translation systems. An in vitro translation systems is, generally, a translation system which is a cell-free extract containing at least the minimum elements necessary for translation of an RNA
molecule into a protein. An in vitro translation system typically comprises at least ribosomes, tRNAs, initiator methionyl-tRNAMet, proteins or complexes involved in translation, e.g., elF2, eIF3, the cap-binding (CB) complex, comprising the cap-binding protein (CBP) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4F (eIF4F). A variety of in vitro translation systems are well known in the art and include commercially available kits.
Examples of in vitro translation systems include eukaryotic lysates, such as rabbit reticulocyte lysates, rabbit oocyte lysates, human cell lysates, insect cell lysates and wheat germ extracts.
Lysates are commercially available from manufacturers such as Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.; Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.; Amerslaarn, Arlington Heights, Ill.; and G113CO/BRL, Grand Island, N.Y. In vitro translation systems typically comprise macromolecules, such as enzymes, translation, initiation and elongation factors, chemical reagents, and ribosomes.
In addition, an in vitro transcription system may be used. Such systems typically comprise at least an RNA polymerase holoenzyme, ribonucleotides and any necessary transcription initiation, elongation and termination factors. In vitro transcription and translation may be carried out within in the same reaction to produce peptides from one or more isolated DNAs.
Nucleic acids encoding peptide inhibitors may be expressed in vitro by DNA
transfer into a suitable host cell. Expression of peptides may be facilitated by inserting the
-27-= 60412-4434D1 nucleic acids encoding the peptides into a vector, such as a plasmid, virus or other vehicle known in the art that has been manipulated by insertion or incorporation of the natural antibody-binding peptide genetic sequences. Such vectors contain a promoter sequence which facilitates the efficient transcription of the inserted genetic sequence of the host. The vector typically contains an origin of replication, a promoter, as well as specific genes which allow phenotypic selection of the transformed cells. Vectors suitable for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to the T7-based expression vector for expression in bacteria (Rosenberg, et al., Gene, 56:125, 1987), the pMSXND expression vector for expression in mammalian cells (Lee and Nathans, J. Biol. Chem., 263:3521, 1988) and baculovirus-derived vectors for expression in insect cells.
The DNA segment can be present in the vector operably linked to regulatory elements, for example, a promoter (e.g., T7, metallothionein I, or polyhedrin promoters).
Nucleic acids encoding peptide inhibitors may be expressed in either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Hosts can include microbial, yeast, insect, and mammalian organisms. Methods of expressing DNA sequences having eukaryotic or viral sequences in prokaryotes are well known in the art. Biologically functional viral and plasmid DNA vectors capable of expression and replication in a host are known in the art. Such vectors can incorporate DNA
sequences of the invention. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct vectors containing the natural antibody-binding peptide coding sequence and appropriate transcriptional/translational control signals. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA
techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo recombination/genetic techniques. (See, for example, the techniques described in Maniatis et al., 1989 Molecular Cloning A
Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, N.Y.) A variety of host-expression vector systems may be utilized. These include but are not limited to microorganisms such as bacteria transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA, or cosmid DNA expression vectors; yeast transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g, cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid); insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus); or animal cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., retroviruses,
- 28 -=

adenovirus, vaccinia virus), or transformed animal cell systems engineered for stable expression.
Depending on the host/vector system utilized, any of a number of suitable transcription and translation elements, including constitutive and inducible promoters, transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc. may be used in the expression vector (see e.g., Bitter et al., 1987, Methods in Enzymology 153:516-544). For example, when cloning in bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as pL of bacteriophage 7, plac, ptrp, ptac (ptrp-lac hybrid promoter) and the like may be used. When cloning in mammalian cell systems, promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the retrovirus long terminal repeat; the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K
promoter) may be used. Promoters produced by recombinant DNA or synthetic techniques may also be used.
In yeast, a number of vectors containing constitutive or inducible promoters may be used. For a review see, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 2, 1988, Ed. Ausubel et al., Greene Publish. Assoc. & Wiley Interscience, Ch. 13; Grant et al., 1987, Expression and Secretion Vectors for Yeast, in Methods in Enzymology, Eds. Wu & Grossman, 319 87, Acad. Press, N.Y., Vol. 153, pp.516-544; Glover, 1986, DNA Cloning, Vol. II, IRL Press, Wash., D.C., Ch. 3; and Bitter, 1987, Heterologous Gene Expression in Yeast, Methods in Enzymology, Eds. Berger & Kimmel, Acad. Press, N.Y., Vol. 152, pp. 673-684;
and The Molecular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces, 1982, Eds. Strathem et al., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Vols. I and H. A constitutive yeast promoter such as ADH or LEU2 or an inducible promoter such as GAL may be used (Cloning in Yeast, Ch. 3, R.
Rothstein In:
DNA Cloning Vol, 11, A Practical Approach, Ed. D M Glover, 1986, IRL Press, Wash., D.C.). Alternatively, vectors may be used which promote integration of foreign DNA
sequences into the yeast chromosome.
Eukaryotic systems, and preferably mammalian expression systems, allow for proper post-translational modifications of expressed mammalian proteins to occur.
Eukaryotic cells which possess the cellular machinery for proper processing of the primary transcript, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and advantageously, plasma membrane insertion of the gene product may be used as host cells.
Mammalian cell systems which utilize recombinant viruses or viral elements to direct expression may be engineered. For example, when using adenovirus expression
-29-vectors, a natural antibody-binding peptide coding sequence may be ligated to an adenovirus transcription/-translation control complex, e.g., the late promoter and tripartite leader sequence. Alternatively, the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter may be used.
(e.g., see, Mackett et al., 1982, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 7415-7419; Mackett et al., 1984, J.
\Tirol. 49: 857-864; Panicali et al., 1982, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:
4927-4931). Of particular interest are vectors based on bovine papilloma virus which have the ability to replicate as extrachromosomal elements (Sarver, et al., 1981, Mol. Cell. Biol.
1: 486).
Shortly after entry of this DNA into mouse cells, the plasmid replicates to about 100 to 200 copies per cell. Transcription of the inserted cDNA does not require integration of the plasmid into the host's chromosome, thereby yielding a high level of expression. These vectors can be used for stable expression by including a selectable marker in the plasmid, such as, for example, the neo gene. Alternatively, the retroviral genome can be modified for use as a vector capable of introducing and directing the expression of a natural antibody-binding peptide gene in host cells (Cone & Mulligan, 1984, Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA 81:6349-6353). High level expression may also be achieved using inducible promoters, including, but not limited to, the metallothionine HA promoter and heat shock promoters.
For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. Rather than using expression vectors which contain viral origins of replication, host cells can be transformed with a cDNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.) and a selectable marker. The selectable marker in the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci which in turn can be cloned and expanded into cell lines. For example, following the introduction of foreign DNA, engineered cells may be allowed to grow for 1-2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. A number of selection systems may be used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler, et al., 1977, Cell 11: 223), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, 1962, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA 48:
2026), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy, et al., 1980, Cell 22:
817) genes can be employed in tk-, hgprt- or aprf cells respectively. Also, antimetabolite resistance can be used as the basis of selection for dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler, et al., 1980, Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77: 3567; O'Hare, et al., 1981, Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA
- 30 -78: 1527); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan &
Berg, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. USA 78: 2072; neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 (Colben-e-Garapin, et al., 1981, J. Mol. Biol. 150: 1); and hygro, which confers resistance to hygrornycin (Santerre, et al., 1984, Gene 30: 147) genes.
Additional selectable genes include trpB, which allows cells to utilize indole in place of tryptophan; hisD, which allows cells to utilize histinol in place of histidine (Hattinan & Mulligan, 1988, Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 85: 8047); and ODC (omithine decarboxylase) which confers resistance to the omithine decarboxylase inhibitor, 2-(difluoromethyl)-DL-omithine, DFMO
(McConlogue L., 1987, In: Current Communications in Molecular Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ed.).
For stable recombinant cell lines, suitable cell types include but are not limited to cells of the following types: NIH 3T3 (Murine), C2C12, L6, and P19. C2C12 and myoblasts will differentiate spontaneously in culture and form myotubes depending on the particular growth conditions (Yaffe and Saxel, 1977; Yaffe, 1968) P19 is an embryonic carcinoma cell line. Such cells are described, for example, in the Cell Line Catalog of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). These cells can be stably transformed by a method known to the skilled artisan. See, for example, Ausubel et al., Introduction of DNA
Into Mammalian Cells, in CURRENT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, sections 9.5.1-9.5.6 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1995). "Stable" transformation in the context of the invention means that the cells are immortal to the extent of having gone through at least 50 divisions.
When the host is a eukaryote, such methods of transfection of DNA as calcium phosphate co-precipitates, conventional mechanical procedures such as microinjection, elech-oporation, insertion of a plasmid encased in liposomes, or virus vectors may be used.
Eukaryotic cells can also be cotransformed with DNA sequences encoding natural antibody-binding peptides, and a second foreign DNA molecule encoding a selectable phenotype, such as the herpes simplex thymidine kinase gene. Another method is to use a eukaryotic viral vector, such as simian virus 40 (SV40) or bovine papilloma virus, to transiently infect or transform eukaryotic cells and express the protein. (see for example, Eukaryotic Viral Vectors, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Gluzman ed., 1982).
To interact with natural antibodies or for isolation and purification, natural antibody-binding proteins may need to be secreted from the host cell.
Accordingly a signal sequence may be used to direct the peptide out of the host cell where it is synthesized.
-31 -Typically, the signal sequence is positioned in the coding region of nucleic acid sequence, or directly at the 5 end of the coding region. Many signal sequences have been identified, and any that are functional in the selected host cell may be used.
Accordingly, the signal sequence may be homologous or heterologous to the polypeptide. Additionally, the signal sequence may be chemically synthesized using recombinant DNA techniques well known in the art.
The amount of peptide produced in the host cell can be evaluated using standard methods known in the art. Such methods include, without limitation, Western blot analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, non-denaturing gel electrophoresis, HPLC
separation, immunoprecipitation, and/or activity assays such as DNA binding gel shift assays.
When natural antibody-binding peptides are secreted from the host cells, the majority of the peptide will likely be found in the cell culture medium. If, however, the peptide is not secreted, it will be present in the cytoplasm (for eukaryotic, Gram-positive bacteria, and insect host cells) or in the periplasm (for Gram-negative bacteria host cells).
If the natural antibody-binding peptide remains in the intracellular space, the host cells are typically first disrupted mechanically or osmotically to release the cytoplasmic contents into a buffered solution. The peptide is then isolated from this solution.
Purification of the peptide from solution can thereafter be accomplished using a variety of techniques. If the peptide has been synthesized such that it contains a tag such as hexahistidine or other small peptides at either its carboxyl or amino terminus, it may be purified in a one-step process by passing the solution through an affinity column where the column matrix has a high affinity for the tag or for the peptide directly (i.e., a monoclonal antibody). For example, polyhistidine binds with great affinity and specificity to nickel, thus an affinity column of nickel (such as the Qiagen nickel columns) can be used for purification. (See, for example, Ausubel et al., eds., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1994).
Where, on the other hand, the peptide has no tag and it is not practical to use an antibody to purify the peptide, other well known procedures for purification can be used.
Such procedures include, without limitation, ion exchange chromatography, molecular sieve chromatography, HPLC, native gel electrophoresis in combination with gel elution,
- 32 -_ and preparative isoelectric focusing ("Isoprime" machine/technique, Hoefer Scientific). In some cases, two or more of these techniques may be combined to achieve increased purity.
If it is anticipated that the peptide will be found primarily in the periplasmic space of the bacteria or the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, the contents of the periplasm or cytoplasm, including inclusion bodies (e.g., Gram-negative bacteria) if the processed peptide has formed such complexes, can be extracted from the host cell using any standard technique known to the skilled artisan. For example, the host cells can be lysed to release the contents of the periplasm by the use of a French press, homogenization, and/or sonication. The homogenate can then be centrifuged.
6.3.4 Antibody Inhibitors of Natural IgM Antibodies IgM inhibitors may also be antibodies that compete with natural IgMs in binding to antigen. Methods of producing antibodies are well known in the art. For example, a monoclonal antibody against a target (e.g., a pathogenic immunoglobulin or an ischemia specific antigen on a cell) can be produced by a variety of techniques, including conventional monoclonal antibody methodology e.g., the standard somatic cell hybridization technique of Kohler and Milstein, Nature 256:495 (1975).
Although somatic cell hybridization procedures are preferred, in principle, other techniques for producing monoclonal antibody can be employed e.g., viral or oncogenic transformation of B
lymphocytes. The preferred animal system for preparing hybridomas is the murine system. Hybridoma production in the mouse is a very well-established procedure. Immunization protocols and techniques for isolation of immunized splenocytes for fusion are known in the art. Fusion partners (e.g., murine myeloma cells) and fusion procedures are also known.
Human monoclonal antibodies can be generated using transgenic mice carrying the human immunoglobulin genes rather than mouse immunoglobulin genes. Splenocytes from these transgenic mice immunized with the antigen of interest are used to produce hybridomas that secrete human mAbs with specific affinities for epitopes from a human protein (see, e.g., Wood et al. International Application WO 91/00906, Kucherlapati et al. PCT publication WO 91/10741;
Lonberg et al. International Application WO 92/03918; Kay et al. International Application 92/03917;
Lonberg, N. et al. 1994 Nature 3 68:856-859; Green, L.L. et al. 1994 Nature Genet. 7:13-21; Morrison, S.L. et al. 1994 Proc. Natl. Acad.
Sci. USA 81:6851-6855; Bruggeman et al. 1993 Year Immuno. 17:33-40; Tuaillon etal. 1993 PNAS
90:3720-3724; Bruggeman et al. 1991 Eur. J. Immunol 21:1323-1326). In one
- 33 -embodiment, hybridomas can be generated from human CD5+, B-1 cells.
Alternatively, "humanized" murine hybridomas can be used that recognize cross-reactive "ischernic antigen".
Monoclonal antibodies can also be generated by other methods known to those skilled in the art of recombinant DNA technology. An alternative method, referred to as the "combinatorial antibody display" method, has been developed to identify and isolate antibody fragments having a particular antigen specificity, and can be utilized to produce monoclonal antibodies (for descriptions of combinatorial antibody display see e.g., Sastry et al. 1989 PNAS 86:5,728; Huse et al. 1989 Science 246:1275; and Orlandi et al.

86:3833). After immunizing an animal with an immunogen as described above, the antibody repertoire of the resulting B-cell pool is cloned. Methods are generally known for obtaining the DNA sequence of the variable regions of a diverse population of immuno globulin molecules by using a mixture of oligomer primers and PCR. For instance, mixed oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5' leader (signal peptide) sequences and/or framework 1 (FR1) sequences, as well as primer to a conserved 3' constant region primer can be used for PCR amplification of the heavy and light chain variable regions from a number of murine antibodies (Larrick et al., 1991, Biotechniques 11:152-156). A
similar strategy can also been used to amplify human heavy and light chain variable regions from human antibodies (Larrick et al., 1991, Methods: Conzpanion to Methods in Enzymology 2:106-110).
In an illustrative embodiment, RNA is isolated from B lymphocytes, for example, peripheral blood cells, bone marrow, or spleen preparations, using standard protocols (e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,683,202; Orlandi, et al. PNAS (1989) 86:3833-3837; Sastry et al., PNAS
(1989) 86:5728-5732; and Huse et al. (1989) Science 246:1275-1281.) First-strand cDNA is synthesized using primers specific for the constant region of the heavy chain(s) and each of the K. and 2. light chains, as well as primers for the signal sequence. Using variable region PCR primers, the variable regions of both heavy and light chains are amplified, each alone or in combination, and ligated into appropriate vectors for further manipulation in generating the display packages. Oligonucleotide primers useful in amplification protocols may be unique or degenerate or incorporate inosine at degenerate positions.
Restriction endonuclease recognition sequences may also be incorporated into the primers to allow for the cloning of the amplified fragment into a vector in a predetermined reading frame for expression.
- 34 -The V-gene library cloned from the immunization-derived antibody repertoire can be expressed by a population of display packages, preferably derived from filamentous phage; to folio an antibody display library. Ideally, the display package comprises a system that allows the sampling of very large variegated antibody display libraries, rapid sorting after each affinity separation round, and easy isolation of the antibody gene from purified display packages. In addition to commercially available kits for generating phage display libraries (e.g., the Pharmacia Recombinant Phage Antibody System, catalog no.
27-9400-01;
and the Stratagene SurfZAPTM phage display kit, catalog no. 240612), examples of methods and reagents particularly amenable for use in generating a variegated antibody display library can be found in, for example, Ladner et al. U.S. Patent No.

In certain embodiments, the V region domains of heavy and light chains can be expressed on the same polypeptide, joined by a flexible linker to form a single-chain Fv fragment, and the scFV gene subsequently cloned into the desired expression vector or phage genome. As generally described in McCafferty et all., Nature (1990) 348:552-554, complete VH and VL domains of an antibody, joined by a flexible (G1y4-Ser)3 linker can be used to produce a single chain antibody which can render the display package separable based on antigen affinity. Isolated scFV antibodies immunoreactive with the antigen can subsequently be formulated into a pharmaceutical preparation for use in the subject method.
Once displayed on the surface of a display package (e.g., filamentous phage), the antibody library is screened with the target antigen, or peptide fragment thereof, to identify and isolate packages that express an antibody having specificity for the target antigen.
Nucleic acid encoding the selected antibody can be recovered from the display package
- 35 -(e.g., from the phage genome) and subcloned into other expression vectors by standard recombinant DNA techniques.
Specific antibody molecules with high affinities for a surface protein can be made according to methods known to those in the art, e.g., methods involving screening of libraries (Ladner, R.C., et al., US. Patent 5,233,409; Ladner, R.C., et al., US. Patent 5,403,484). Further, these libraries can be used in screens to obtain binding determinants that are mimeties of the structural determinants of antibodies.
In particular, the Fv binding surface of a particular antibody molecule interacts with its target ligand according to principles of protein-protein interactions, hence sequence data for VII and VL (the latter of which may be of the lc or X chain type) can be used in protein engineering techniques known to those with skill in the art. Details of the protein surface that comprises the binding determinants can be obtained from antibody sequence information, by a modeling procedure using previously determined three-dimensional structures from other antibodies obtained from NMR studies or crystallographic data. See for example Bajorath, J. and S. Sheriff, 1996, Proteins: Struct., Funct., and Genet. 24 (2), 152-157; Webster, D.M. and A. R. Rees, 1995, "Molecular modeling of antibody-combining sites," in S. Paul, Ed., Methods in Molecular Biol. 51, Antibody Engineering Protocols, Humana Press, Totowa, NJ, pp 17-49; and Johnson, G., Wu, T.T. and E.A.

In one embodiment, a variegated peptide library is expressed by a population of display packages to form a peptide display library. Ideally, the display package comprises a system that allows the sampling of very large variegated peptide display libraries, rapid sorting after each affinity separation round, and easy isolation of the peptide-encoding gene from purified display packages. Peptide display libraries can be in, e.g., prokaryotic organisms and viruses, which can be amplified quickly, are relatively easy to manipulate, and which allow the creation of large number of clones. Preferred display packages include, for example, vegetative bacterial cells, bacterial spores, and most preferably, bacterial viruses (especially DNA viruses). However, the present invention also contemplates the use of eukaryotic cells, including yeast and their spores, as potential display packages. Phage display libraries are described above.
-36-=
Other techniques include affinity chromatography with an appropriate 'receptor, e.g., a target antigen, followed by identification of the isolated binding agents or ligands by conventional techniques (e.g., mass spectrometry and NMR). Preferably, the soluble receptor is conjugated to a label (e.g., fluorophores, colorirnetric enzymes, radioisotopes, or luminescent compounds) that can be detected to indicate ligand binding.
Alternatively, immobilized compounds can be selectively released and allowed to diffuse through a membrane to interact with a receptor.
Combinatorial libraries of compounds can also be synthesized with "tags" to encode the identity of each member of the library (see, e.g., W.C. Still et al., International Application WO 94/08051). In general, this method features the use of inert but readily detectable tags that are attached to the solid support or to the compounds.
When an active compound is detected, the identity of the compound is determined by identification of the unique accompanying tag. This tagging method permits the synthesis of large libraries of compounds which can be identified at very low levels among the total set of all compounds in the library.
An antibody of the present invention can be one in which the variable region, or a portion thereof, e.g., the complementarity determining regions (CDR or CDRs), are generated in a non-human organism, e.g., a rat or mouse. Chimeric, CDR-grafted, and humanized antibodies are within the invention. Antibodies generated in a non-human organism, e.g., a rat or mouse, and then modified, e.g., in the variable framework or constant region, to decrease antigenicity in a human are within the invention.
Any modification is within the scope of the invention so long as the antibody has at least one antigen binding portion.
Chimeric antibodies (e.g. mouse-human monoclonal antibodies) can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques known in the art. For example, a gene encoding the Fc constant region of a murine (or other species) monoclonal antibody molecule is digested with restriction enzymes to remove the region encoding the murine Fc, and the equivalent portion of a gene encoding a human Fc constant region is substituted.

A chimeric antibody can be further humanized by replacing sequences of the Fv variable region which are not directly involved in antigen binding with equivalent sequences from human Fv variable regions. General methods for generating humanized antibodies are provided by Morrison, S. L., 1985, Science 229:1202-1207 by Oi et al., 1986, BioTechniques 4:214, and by Queen et al. US 5,585,089, US 5,693,761 and US
5,693,762, the contents of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Those methods include isolating, manipulating, and expressing the nucleic acid sequences that encode all or part of immunoglobulin Fv variable regions from at least one of a'heavy or light chain: Sources of such nucleic acid are well known to those skilled in the art and, for example, may be obtained from 7E3, An anti-GPIVLI, antibody producing hybridoma. The recombinant DNA encoding the chimeric antibody, or fragment thereof, can then be cloned into an appropriate expression vector. Suitable humanized antibodies can alternatively be produced by CDR substitution. U.S. Patent 5,225,539; Jones et al. 1986 Nature 321:552-525;

Humanized or CDR-grafted antibodies can be produced by CDR-grafting or CDR
substitution, wherein one, two, or all CDRs of an immunoglobulin chain can be replaced.
See e.g., U.S. Patent 5,225,539; Jones etal. 1986 Nature 321:552-525;
Verhoeyan et al.
1988 Science 239:1534; Beidler etal. 1988 J. Immunol. 141:4053-4060; Winter US
5,225,539.
Winter describes a CDR-grafting method which may be used to prepare the humanized antibodies of the present invention (UK Patent Application GB 2188638A, filed on March 26, 1987; Winter US 5,225,539).
A humanized or CDR-grafted antibody will have at least one or two but generally all recipient CDRs (Of heavy and/or light immunoglobulin chains) replaced with a donor CDR. Preferably, the donor will be a rodent antibody, e.g., A rat or mouse antibody, and the recipient will be a human framework or a human consensus framework. Typically, the . immunoglobulin providing the CDRs is called the "donor" and the immunoglobulin providing the framework is called the "acceptor." In one embodiment, the donor
- 38 -immunoglobulin is a non-human (e.g., rodent). The acceptor framework can be a naturally-occurring (e.g., a human) framework or a consensus framework, or a sequence about 85%
or higher, preferably 90%, 95%, 99% or higher identical thereto.
All of the CDRs of a particular antibody may be replaced with at least a portion of a non-human CDR or only some of the CDRs may be replaced with non-human CDRs. It is only necessary to replace the number of CDRs required for binding of the humanized antibody to the Fe receptor.
Also within the scope of the invention are chimeric and humanized antibodies in which specific amino acids have been substituted, deleted or added. In particular, preferred humanized antibodies have amino acid substitutions in the framework region, such as to improve binding to the antigen. For example, a humanized antibody will have framework residues identical to the donor framework residue or to another amino acid other than the recipient framework residue. As another example, in a humanized antibody having mouse CDRs, amino acids located in the human framework region can be replaced with the amino acids located at the corresponding positions in the mouse antibody. Such substitutions are known to improve binding of humanized antibodies to the antigen in some instances.
Antibody fragments of the invention are obtained using conventional procedures known to those with skill in the art. For example, digestion of an antibody with pepsin yields F(ab1)2 fragments and multiple small fragments. Mercaptoethanol reduction of an antibody yields individual heavy and light chains. Digestion of an antibody with papain yields individual Fab fragments and the Fe fragment.
In another aspect, the invention also features a modified natural immunoglobulin, e.g., which functions as an agonist (mimetic) or as an antagonist. Preferably the modified natural immunoglobulin, e.g., modified pathogenic immunoglobulin, functions as an antagonist of complement activation. Variants of the pathogenic immunoglobulin can be generated by mutagenesis, e.g., discrete point mutation, the insertion or deletion of sequences or the truncation of a pathogenic immunoglobulin. An agonist of the natural immunoglobulin can retain substantially the same, or a subset, of the biological activities of the naturally occurring form of the protein. An antagonist of a natural immunoglobulin can inhibit one or more of the activities of the naturally occurring form of the pathogenic immunoglobulin by, for example, being capable of binding to an ischemic specific antigen,
-39 -but incapable of activating a complement pathway. Thus, specific biological effects can be elicited by treatment with a variant of limited function.
In one embodiment, the site within the natural immunoglobulin (e.g., a pathogenic IgM) that binds Clq can be mutated such that it is no longer capable of binding Clq. For example, the CH2 domain of an IgG and the CH4 domain of an IgM, which are known to contain binding sites for Clq, can be mutated (see WO 94/29351). For example, the carboxyl terminal half of the CH2 domain of an IgG (residues 231 to 239, preferably.
within 234 to 239), which appear to mediate Clq binding and subsequent complement activation, can be mutated. As another example, Wright et al. have demonstrated that a single nucleotide change in the IgM constant region domain renders the antibody defective in initiating complement-dependent cytolysis. The single nucleotide change results in the encoding of a serine residue, rather than the normal proline residue, at amino acid position 436 in the third constant domain (Wright etal. 1988, J. BioL Chem. 263:
11221). The amino acid substitutions that can be made to antibodies in order to alter complement .
binding or activity are well known in the art (see for example, Wright et al.
1988, J. Bid.
Chetn. 263: 11221; Shulman et al. (1986), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83: 7678-7682; Arya et al., (1994) J. ImmunoL 253: 1206-1212; Poon et al., (1995) J. Biol. Chem.
270: 8571-8577. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibodies of the present invention have a mutation that alters complement binding or activity. Antibodies in which amino acids have been added, deleted, or substituted are referred to herein as modified antibodies or altered antibodies.
As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the methods used for causing such changes in nucleotide or amino acid sequence will vary depending upon the desired results.
Variants of a natural immunoglobulin can be identified by screening combinatorial libraries of mutants, e.g., truncation mutants, of a natural immunoglobulin for agonist or antagonist activity.
Libraries of fragments e.g., N terminal, C terminal, or internal fragments, of a natural immunoglobulin coding sequence can be used to generate a variegated population of fragments for screening and subsequent selection of variants of this protein.
Variants in which a cysteine residue is added or deleted or in which a residue that is glycosylated is added or deleted are particularly preferred.
-40 -Methods for screening gene products of combinatorial libraries made by point mutations or truncation, and for screening cDNA libraries for gene products having a selected property. Recursive ensemble mutagenesis (REM), a technique which enhances the frequency of functional mutants in the libraries, can be used in combination with the screening assays to identify variants (Arkin and Yourvan (1992) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA
89:7811-7815; Delgrave et al. (1993) Protein Engineering 6(3):327-331).
Cell based assays can be exploited to analyze a variegated library. For example, a library of expression vectors can be transfected into a cell line, e.g., a cell line, which ordinarily responds to the protein in a substrate-dependent manner. Plasmid DNA can then be recovered from the cells which score for inhibition, or alternatively, potentiation of signaling by the pathogenic immunoglobulin-substrate, and the individual clones further characterized.
The invention also features a method of making a natural immunoglobulin, e.g., a pathogenic immunoglobulin having a non-wild type activity, e.g., an antagonist, agonist, or super agonist of a naturally occurring pathogenic immunoglobulin. The method includes:
altering the sequence of a natural immunoglobulin, e.g., by substitution or deletion of one or more residues of a non-conserved region, a domain or residue disclosed herein, and testing the altered polypeptide for the desired activity.
Further, the invention features a method of making a fragment or analog of a natural immunoglobulin, e.g., a pathogenic immunoglobulin having an altered biological activity of a naturally occurring pathogenic immunoglobulin. The method includes: altering the sequence, e.g., by substitution or deletion of one or more residues, of a pathogenic immunoglobulin, e.g., altering the sequence of a non-conserved region, or a domain or residue described herein, and testing the altered pol3peptide for the desired activity. In an exemplary embodiment, the modified natural immunoglobulin may have a reduced ability to activate complement. For example, one or more of the amino acid residues involved in complement binding and/or activation are mutated.
In certain embodiment, the modified natural antibody may comprise at least the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 10), or antigen binding portions thereof, and/or at least the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 12), or antigen binding portions thereof. In another embodiment, the modified antibody may comprise at least the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 4), or antigen binding portions thereof,
- 41 -._ and/or at least the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 6), or antigen binding portions thereof In an exemplary embodiment, the modified antibody comprises the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 10) and the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ
ID NO: 12) or antigen binding portions thereof. In another exemplary embodiment, the modified antibody comprises the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 4) and the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 6) or antigen binding portions thereof. The modified antibody may also comprise the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID
NO: 10) and the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 8 (SEQ ID NO: 12) and the modified antibody comprises the CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 4) and the CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SEQ ID NO: 6) or antigen binding portions thereof The modified natural antibody can be a human antibody having a binding affinity to the ischemic-specific antigen, similar, e.g., greater than, less than, or equal to, the binding affinity of the antibody produced by the hybridoma deposited with the ATCC, having the accession number PTA-3507. In another embodiment, the natural antibody can be a non-human antibody, e.g., a cow, goat, mouse, rat, sheep, pig, or rabbit. In an exemplary embodiment, the non-human antibody is a murine antibody. The natural antibody may also be a recombinant antibody. In an exemplary embodiment, the natural antibody is a humanized antibody. The modified natural antibody may be an IgG or IgM
antibody. In another embodiment, the isolated natural immunoglobulin possess the same antigenic specificity as the immunoglobulin produced by the hybridoma deposited with the ATCC, having accession number PTA-3507.
6.4 Screening Assay to Identib, Additional Inhibitors Other inhibitors of an interaction between a natural IgM antibody and an antigen or a component of the complement pathway may beidentified from one or more (e.g., a plurality of) test compounds, comprising (i) providing a reaction mixture which includes the natural IgIVI antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement pathway under conditions that allow binding of the natural IgM antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement pathway to occur; (ii) contacting the natural IgM
antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement pathway with one or more test compounds (e.g., members of a combinatorial library); and (iii) detecting any changes in binding of the natural IgM antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement in
- 42 -=
the presence of a given test compound relative to that detected in the absence of the test compound. A change (e.g., decrease) in the level of binding between the natural IgM
antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement pathway in the presence of the test compound relative to that detected in the absence of the test compound indicates that the test compound is an inhibitor of the interaction between the natural IgM antibody and the antigen or the component of the complement pathway.
The method can further include pre-treating the natural IgM antibodies with one or more test compounds. The pre-treated natural IgM antibodies can then be injected into mice deficient in natural immunoglobulins.
In certain embodiments, the methods is performed in vitro. In an exemplary embodiment, the contacting step is effected in vivo. hi an exemplary embodiment, the antigen is myosin. In other embodiments, the antigen is an endothelial tissue or lysate obtained from a subject e.g., a human patient with reperfitsion or ischemic injury. In another exemplary embodiment, the component of the complement pathway is a component of the classical pathway of complement. In a further exemplary embodiment, the component of the complement pathway is a Cl molecule or a subunit thereof (e.g., Clq).
In exemplary embodiments, either the natural IgM antibody or the antigen (or both) is labeled with a detectable signal, e.g., fluorophores, colorimetric enzymes, radioisotopes, luminescent compounds, and the like. The method can further include repeating at least one step, e.g., the contacting step with a second or subsequent member or members of the library.
In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of test compounds, e.g., library members, is tested. The plurality of test compounds, e.g., library members, can include at least 10, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, or 108 compounds. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of test compounds, e.g., library members, share a structural or functional characteristic. The test compound can be a peptide or a small organic molecule.
In one embodiment, the inhibitor is a small organic molecule that may be identified in a combinatorial library. In one embodiment, the invention provides libraries of inhibitors. The synthesis of combinatorial libraries is well known in the art and has been reviewed (see, e.g., E.M. Gordon et al., J. Med. Chem. (1994) 37:1385-1401 ;

Libraries of compounds of the invention can be prepared according to a variety of methods, some of which are known in the art. For example, a "split-pool"
strategy can be implemented in the following way: beads of a functionalized polymeric support are placed in a plurality of reaction vessels; a variety of polymeric supports suitable for solid-phase peptide synthesis are known, and some are commercially available (for examples, see, e.g., M. Bodansky "Principles of Peptide Synthesis", 2nd edition, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (1993)). To each aliquot of beads is added a solution of a different activated amino acid, and the reactions are allowed to proceed to yield a plurality of immobilized amino acids, one in each reaction vessel. The aliquots of derivatized beads are then washed, "pooled" (i.e., recombined), and the pool of beads is again divided, with each aliquot being placed in a separate reaction vessel. Another activated amino acid is then added to each aliquot of beads. The cycle of synthesis is repeated until a desired peptide length is obtained. The amino acid residues added at each synthesis cycle can be randomly selected; alternatively, amino acids can be selected to provide a "biased"
library, e.g., a library in which certain portions of the inhibitor are selected non-randomly, e.g., to provide an inhibitor having known structural similarity or homology to a known peptide capable of interacting with an antibody, e.g., the an anti-idiotypic antibody antigen binding site. It will be appreciated that a wide variety of peptidic, peptidomimetic, or non-peptidic compounds can be readily generated in this way.
The "split-pool" strategy results in a library of peptides, e.g., inhibitors, which can be used to prepare a library of test compounds of the invention. In another illustrative synthesis, a "diversomer library" is created by the method of Hobbs DeWitt et al. (Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6909 (1993)). Other synthesis methods, including the "tea-bag"
technique of Houghten (see, e.g., Houghten et al., Nature 354:84-86 (1991)) can also be used to synthesize libraries of compounds according to the subject invention.
Libraries of compounds can be screened to determine whether any members of the library have a desired activity, and, if so, to identify the active species. Methods of screening combinatorial libraries have been described (see, e.g., Gordon et al., J Med.
Chem.,
- 44 -=
supra). Soluble compound libraries can be screened by affinity chromatography with an appropriate receptor to isolate ligands for the receptor, followed by identification of the isolated ligands by conventional techniques (e.g., mass spectrometry, NMR, and the.
like). Immobilized compounds can be screened by contacting the compounds with a soluble receptor; preferably, the soluble receptor is conjugated to a label (e.g., fluorophores, colorimetric enzymes, radioisotopes, luminescent compounds, and the like) that can be detected to indicate ligand binding. Alternatively, immobilized compounds can be selectively released and allowed to diffuse through a membrane to interact with a receptor. Exemplary assays useful for screening the libraries of the invention are described below.
In one embodiment, compounds of the invention can be screened for the ability to interact with a natural immunoglobulin by assaying the activity of each compound to bind directly to the immunoglobulin or to inhibit an interaction between the immunoglobulin and an ischemic antigen, e.g., by incubating the test compound with an immunoglobulin and a lysate, e.g., an endothelial cell lysate, e.g., in one well of a multiwell plate, such as a standard 96-well microtiter plate. In this embodiment, the activity of each individual compound can be determined. A well or wells having no test compound can be used as a control. After incubation, the activity of each test compound can be determined by assaying each well. Thus, the activities of a plurality of test compounds can be determined in parallel.
6.5 Modified Inhibitors and Pharmaceutical and Diagnostic Preparations IgM inhibitors may be modified, for example to increase solubility and/or facilitate purification, identification, detection, and/or structural characterization.
Exemplary modifications, include, for example, addition of: glutathione S-transferase (GST), protein A, protein G, calmodulin-binding peptide, thioredoxin, maltose binding protein, HA, myc, poly-arginine, poly-His, poly-His-Asp or FLAG fusion proteins and tags. In various embodiments, an IgM inhibitors may comprise one or more heterologous fusions.
For example, peptides may contain multiple copies of the same fusion domain or may contain fusions to two or more different domains. The fusions may occur at the N-terminus of the peptide, at the C-terminus of the peptide, or at both the N- and C-terminus of the peptide. It is also within the scope of the invention to include linker sequences between a peptide of
- 45 -the invention and the fusion domain in order to facilitate construction of the fusion protein or to optimize protein expression or structural constraints of the fusion protein. In another embodiment, the peptide may be constructed so as to contain protease cleavage sites between the fusion peptide and peptide of the invention in order to remove the tag after protein expression or thereafter. Examples of suitable endoproteases, include, for example, Factor Xa and TEV proteases.
Techniques for making fusion genes are well known. Essentially, the joining of various DNA fragments coding for different polypeptide sequences is performed in accordance with conventional techniques, employing blunt-ended or stagger-ended termini for ligation, restriction enzyme digestion to provide for appropriate termini, filling-in of cohesive ends as appropriate, alkaline phosphatase treatment to avoid undesirable joining, and enzymatic ligation. In another embodiment, the fusion gene may be synthesized by conventional techniques including automated DNA synthesizers. Alternatively, PCR
amplification of gene fragments may be carried out using anchor primers which give rise to complementary overhangs between two consecutive gene fragments, which may subsequently be annealed to generate a chimeric gene sequence (see, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, eds. Ausubel et al., John Wiley & Sons: 1992).
IgM inhibitors may be chemically modified based on linkage to a polymer. The polymer is typically water soluble so that the inhibitor to which it is attached does not precipitate in an aqueous environment, such as a physiological environment.
The polymer may have a single reactive group, such as an active ester for acylation or an aldehyde for alk-ylation, so that the degree of polymerization may be controlled. A
preferred reactive aldehyde is polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde, which is water stable, or mono Cl -C10 alkoxy or aryloxy derivatives thereof (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,714). The polymer may be branched or unbranched. Preferably, for therapeutic use of the end-product preparation, the polymer will be pharmaceutically acceptable. The water soluble polymer, or mixture thereof if desired, may be selected from the group consisting of, for example, polyethylene glycol (PEG), monomethoxy-polyethylene glycol, dextran, cellulose, or other carbohydrate based polymers, poly-(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol homopolymers, a polypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymer, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol) and polyvinyl alcohol.
IgM inhibitors may be labeled, for example with an isotopic label to facilitate its detection using nuclear magnetic resonance or another applicable technique.
Exemplary
-46-_ isotopic labels include radioisotopic labels such as, for example, potassium-40 (40K), carbon-14 (14C), tritium (3H), sulphur-35 (35S), phosphorus-32 (32P), technetium-99m (99mTc), thallium-201 (201T1), gallium-67 (67Ga), indium-111 (1111n), iodine-123 (1231), iodine-131 (131I), yttrium-90 (90Y), samarium-153 (153Sm), rhenium-186 ('86R
e), rhenium-188 (188Re), dysprosium-165 (165Dy) and holmium-166 (166H0) .
The isotopic label may also be an atom with non zero nuclear spin, including, for example, hydrogen-1 (1H), hydrogen-2 (2H), hydrogen-3 (3H), phosphorous-31 (31P), sodium-23 (23Na), nitrogen-14 (14N), nitrogen-15 (15N), carbon-13 (13C) and fluorine-19 (19F). In certain embodiments, the inhibitor is uniformly labeled with an isotopic label, for example, wherein at least 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98% of the inhibitor is labeled. In other embodiments, the isotopic label is located in one or more specific locations within the inhibitor, for example, the label may be specifically incorporated into one or more of the leucine residues of a peptide. A single inhibitor may comprise two or more different isotopic labels, for example, a peptide may comprise both 15N and 13C labeling.
Inhibitors may be labeled with a fluorescent label. In an exemplary embodiment, an inhibitor is fused to a heterologous polypeptide sequence which produces a detectable fluorescent signal, including, for example, green fluorescent protein (GFP), enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), Renilla renifornzis green fluorescent protein, GFPmut2, GFPuv4, enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP), enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP), enhanced blue fluorescent protein (EBFP), citrine and red fluorescent protein from discosoma (dsRED).
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of natural antibody inhibitors including natural IgM antibody-binding peptides or modified natural IgM antibodies can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50.
Natural antibody inhibitors which exhibit large therapeutic effects are preferred. While natural antibody inhibitors or natural antibody-binding peptides that exhibit toxic side effects may be used, care should be taken to design a delivery system that targets such peptides or modified antibodies to the site of affected tissue in order to minimize potential damage to uninfected cells and, thereby, reduce side effects.
- 47 -_ The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in foimulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of a natural antibody inhibitor or a natural antibody-binding peptides lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration =
utilized. For any inhibitor or peptide used in the method of the invention, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. A dose may be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels in plasma may be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography.
In another embodiment, a single bolus of a natural antibody inhibitor including a natural IgM antibody-binding peptide and modified natural IgM antibodies is administered prior to, contemporaneously with, or subsequent to a tissue injury. Typically a single dose injection will be a few hours, a few days or a few weeks after tissue injury.
The present invention is based in part upon the discovery that a natural IgM antibody inhibitor preventsreperfusion injury. A single unit dosage delivery can be immediately adjacent to the site of injury or can be, for example, to a vessel that drains or flows to the site of injury.
90 A natural IgM antibody inhibitor such as natural IgM antibody-binding peptide Or modified natural IgM antibody is administered initially at a point in time prior to the time of damage of the target organ or tissue. This may be a useful approach in subjects who are determined to be at risk for reperfusion injury, such as those with a history of reperfusion injury or those about to undergo surgery.
In yet another embodiment, a single bolus of a natural IgM antibody inhibitor can be followed by subsequence administrations of a natural IgM antibody inhibitor as continuous infusions or additional single bolus deliveries. The inhibitor may be administer in sequential exposures over a period of hours, days, weeks, months or years. In addition, it is contemplated that additional therapeutic agents can be combined with, administered prior to or subsequent to administration of a natural antibody-binding peptide or another natural antibody inhibitor. Other therapeutic agents that may be administered with an natural IgM
antibody inhibitor include, but are not limited to, anti-coagulation agents and complement inhibitors.

The subject inhibitors may be provided in pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or formulated for a variety of modes of administration, including systemic and topical or localized administration. Techniques and formulations generally may be found in Rernmington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Meade Publishing Co., Easton, PA. In certain embodiments, the inhibitor is provided for transmucosal or transdermal delivery. For such administration, penetrants appropriate to the bather to be permeated are used in the formulation with the polypeptide. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration bile salts and fusidic acid derivatives.
In addition, detergents may be used to facilitate permeation. Transmucosal administration may be through nasal sprays or using suppositories. For topical administration, the inhibitors of the invention are formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams as generally known in the art.
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are prepared by bringing a natural IgM antibody inhibitors into a form suitable for administration to a subject using carriers, excipients and additives or auxiliaries. Frequently used carriers or auxiliaries include magnesium carbonate, titanium dioxide, lactose, mannitol and other sugars, talc, milk protein, gelatin, starch, vitamins, cellulose and its derivatives, animal and vegetable oils, polyethylene glycols and solvents, such as sterile water, alcohols, glycerol and polyhydric alcohols. Intravenous vehicles include fluid and nutrient replenishers.
Preservatives include antimicrobial, anti-oxidants, chelating agents and inert gases. Other pharmaceutically acceptablecarriers include aqueous solutions, non-toxic excipients, including salts, preservatives, buffers and the like, as described, for instance, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th ed. Easton: Mack Publishing Co., 1405-1412, 1461-1487 (1975) and The National Formulary XIV., 14th ed. Washington:
American Pharmaceutical Association (1975). The pH and exact concentration of the various =
components of the pharmaceutical composition are adjusted according to routine skills in the art. See Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis for Therapeutics (7th ed.).
The pharmaceutical compositions are preferably prepared and administered in dose units. Solid dose units are tablets, capsules and suppositories and including, for example, alginate based pH dependent release gel caps. For treatment of a subject, depending on activity of the compound, manner of administration, nature and severity of the disorder, age and body weight of the subject, different daily doses are necessary. Under certain
-49 -=
circumstances, however, higher or lower daily doses may be appropriate. The administration of the daily dose can be carried out both by single administration in the form of an individual dose unit or by several smaller dose units and also by multiple administration of subdivided doses at specific intervals.
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may be administered locally or systemically in a therapeutically effective dose. Amounts effective for this use will, of course, depend on the severity of the disease and the weight and general state of the subject. As discussed above, dosages used in vitro may provide useful guidance in the amounts useful for in situ administration of the pharmaceutical composition, and animal models may be used to determine effective dosages for treatment of particular disorders.
Various considerations are described, e.g., in Langer, Science, 249: 1527, (1990); Gilman et al. (eds.) (1990) .
In one embodiment, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition useful for administering a natural antibody-binding peptide to a subject in need of such treatment.
"Administering" the pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be accomplished by any means known to the skilled artisan. Preferably a "subject" refers to a Mammal, most preferably a human.
The natural IgM antibody inhibitor can be administered parenterally, enterically, by injection, rapid infusion, nasopharyngeal absorption, dermal absorption, rectally and orally.
Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier preparations for parenteral administration include sterile or aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, and emulsions.
Examples of non-aqueous solvents are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Carriers for occlusive dressings can be used to increase skin permeability and enhance antigen absorption. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may generally comprise a liposome solution containing the liquid dosage form. Suitable solid or liquid pharmaceutical preparation forms are, for example, granules, powders, tablets, coated tablets, (micro)capsules, suppositories, syrups, emulsions, suspensions, creams, aerosols, drops or injectable solution in ampule form and also preparations with protracted release of active compounds, in whose preparation = 30 excipients and additives and/or auxiliaries such as disintegrants, binders, coating agents, swelling agents, lubricants, flavorings, sweeteners and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as purified water. Where the disease or disorder is a = gastrointestinal disorder oral formulations or suppository formulations are preferred.

Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating a natural antibody-binding peptide in the required amount (e.g., about 10 Lig to about 10 mg/kg) in an appropriate solvent and then sterilizing, such as by sterile filtration.
Further, powders can be prepared by standard techniques such as freeze drying or vacuum drying.
In another embodiment, a natural IgM antibody inhibitor is prepared with a , biodegradable carrier for sustained release characteristics for either sustained release in the GI tract or for target organ implantation with long term active agent release characteristics to the intended site of activity. Biodegradable polymers include, for example, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acids, polylactic acids, collagen, polyorthoesters, and poly acetic acid. Liposomal formulation can also be used.
Another means of delivering natural IgM antibody inhibitor (e.g., a natural IgM
antibody-binding peptide) is by delivering host cells that express natural antibody-binding peptides to a site or tissue in need of repair. Alternatively, the cells may be delivered in conjunction with various delivery vehicles, including biocompatible biodegradable or non-biodegradable sponges (e.g., collagen, or other extracellular matrix materials), cotton, polyglycolic acid, cat gut sutures, cellulose, gelatin, dextran, polyamide, a polyester, a polystyrene, a polypropylene, a polyacrylate, a polyvinyl, a polycarbonate, a polytetrafluorethylene, or a nitrocellulose compound formed into a three-dimensional structure (see, for example, 'U.S. Pat. No. 5,858,721 to Naughton et al.
Any route of administration compatible with the active principle can be used.
The preferred is parenteral administration, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. The dose of the active ingredient to be administered depends on the basis of the medical prescriptions according to age, weight and the individual response of the patient.
The daily non-weighted dosage for the patient can be between about 2.5-5.0 mg/Kg, e.g., about 2.5-3.0 mg/Kg, about 3.0-3.5 mg/Kg, about 3.5-4.0 mg/Kg, about 4.0-4.5 mg/Kg, and about 4.5-5.0 mg/Kg. =
The pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration can be prepared in an injectable form comprising the active principle and a suitable vehicle.
Vehicles for the parenteral administration are well known in the art and comprise, for example, water, saline solution, Ringer solution and/or dextrose.

The vehicle can contain small amounts of excipients in order to maintain the stability and isotonicity of the pharmaceutical preparation.
The preparation of the cited solutions can be carried out according to the ordinary modalities.
The present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiments, but the content of the description comprises all modifications and substitutions which can be brought by a person skilled in the art without extending beyond the meaning and purpose of the claims. The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may for example comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration.
6.6 Diseases and conditions that can be treated with natural Igllf antibody inhibitors IgM inhibitors, such as natural IgM antibody-binding peptides or modified natural IgM antibodies, may be used for treating a number of inflammatory diseases and conditions that are triggered by binding of natural IgM antibodies. For instance, the inhibitors may be used to treat inflammatory diseases or cOnditions such as reperfusion injury, ischemia injury, stroke, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, hyper-IgM immunodeficiency, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, sepsis, myocarditis, encephalitis, transplant rejection, hepatitis, thyroiditis (e.g., Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves disease), osteoporosis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, Type I diabetes, gout, dermatitis, alopecia areata, systemic lupus erythematosus, lichen sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, diabetic retinopathy, pelvic inflammatory disease, periodontal disease, arthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis (e.g., chronic iridocyclitis), psoriasis, osteoporosis, nephropathy in diabetes mellitus, asthma, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic inflammatory liver disease, chronic inflammatory lung disease, lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic inflammatory liver disease, chronic inflammatory lung disease, lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bum injury (or thermal injury), and other acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS; e.g., multiple sclerosis), gastrointestinal system, the skin
- 52 -and associated structures, the immune system, the hepato-biliary system, or any site in the body where pathology can occur with an inflammatory component.
An inflammatory condition such as reperfusion or ischemic injury may result following a naturally occurring episode, e.g., as a stroke or myocardial infarction.
Reperfusion or ischemic injury may also occur during and/or following a surgical procedure. Exemplary surgical procedures that cause can cause injury include a vessel-corrective technique selected from the group consisting of angioplasty, stenting procedure, atherectomy, and bypass surgery. In an exemplary embodiment, reperfusion or ischemic injury occurs in a cardiovascular tissue, such as the heart.
In addition, diseases or conditions that are triggered by binding of natural IgM
antibodies may be treated or prevented in a subject by removing from the subject or inactivating a natural or pathogenic IgM and/or B cells producing the pathogenic immunoglobulin (e.g., B-I cells as described herein), thereby reducing the amount of the pathogenic immunoglobulin and/or B cells present in the subject.
The methods described herein may comprise removing from the subject or inactivating a pathogenic immunoglobulin, e.g., a pathogenic IgM as described herein, and/or B-cells producing the pathogenic IgM (e.g., B-1 cells as described herein), thereby reducing the amount of the pathogenic immunoglobulin and/or B cells present in the subject.
In one embodiment, the removing or inactivating step is performed ex vivo. The pathogenic immunoglobulins or B cells can be removed by hemoperfusion.
Alternatively, the B cells can be removed using a B cell-specific antibody (e.g., an anti-B-1 antibody or an anti-CD5 antibody or anti-CD 11 G/CD 18). The pathogenic immunoglobulin, e.g., an IgM, can be removed by contacting blood from a subject with an immobilized antigen (e.g., an ischemia-specific antigen) or an immobilized anti-idiotypic antibody. The removing or inactivating step of the pathogenic immunoglobulin may be performed by administering an anti-idiotypic antibody to the subject. In another embodiment, the removing or inactivating step of the B cell is performed by administering to the subject a B cell targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof, or an antigen) coupled to a toxin, e.g., ricin or diphteria toxin. The subject is a mammal, e.g., a rodent (e.g., a mouse) or a primate (e.g., a human). In a exemplary embodiment, the subject has sustained a reperfusion or ischemic injury following a naturally occurring episode, e.g., as a stroke, and
- 53 -the removing step is carried out within minutes, one to five hours, five to ten hours, ten to twenty hours, one to five days, following the naturally occurring episode. In another exemplary embodiment, the reperfusion or ischemie injury occurs in a cardiovascular tissue, e.g., the heart, and the reperfusion or ischemic injury is prevented and/or decreased by, removing from the subject, the pathogenic immunoglobulin, and/or the B
cells, prior to, during, and/or following the surgical procedure. For example, the removing step can be carried out at least one to five hours, five to ten hours, ten to twenty hours, or one, two or three days prior to the surgical procedure. The removing step can also be continued for appropriate time intervals during and after the surgical procedure.
6.7 Diagnostic Assays The invention further provides a method for detecting the presence of a natural IgM
antibody in a biological sample. Detection of a natural IgM antibody in a subject, particularly a mammal, and especially a human, will provide a diagnostic method for diagnosis of an inflammatory disease or condition in the subject. In general, the method involves contacting the biological sample with a compound or an agent capable of detecting natural IgM antibody of the invention or a nucleic acid of the invention in the sample. The term "biological sample" when used in reference to a diagnostic assay is intended to include tissues, cells and biological fluids isolated from a subject, as well as tissues, cells and fluids present within a subject.
The detection method of the invention may be used to detect the presence of a natural IgIVI antibody or a nucleic acid of the invention in a biological sample in vitro as well as in vivo. For example, in vitro techniques for detection of a nucleic acid of the invention include Northern hybridizations and in situ hybridizations. In vitro techniques for detection of polypeptides of the invention include enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), Western blots, immunoprecipitations, inununofluoreseenee, radioimmunoassays and competitive binding assays.
Nucleic acids for diagnosis may be obtained from an infected individual's cells and tissues, such as bone, blood, muscle, cartilage, and skin. Nucleic acids, e.g., DNA and RNA, may be used directly for detection or may be amplified, e.g., enzymatically by using PCR or other amplification technique, prior to analysis. Using amplification, characterization of the species and strain of prokaryote present in an individual, may be
- 54 -_ = WO

made by an analysis of the genotype of the prokaryote gene. Deletions and insertions can be detected by a change in size of the amplified product in comparison to the genotype of a reference sequence. Point mutations can be identified by hybridizing a nucleic acid, e.g., amplified DNA, to a nucleic acid of the invention, which nucleic acid may be labeled.
Perfectly matched sequences can be distinguished from mismatched duplexes by RNase digestion or by differences in melting temperatures. DNA sequence differences may also be detected by alterations in the electrophoretic mobility of the DNA
fragments in gels, with or without denaturing agents, or by direct DNA sequencing. See, e.g.
Myers et al., Science, 230: 1242 (1985). Sequence changes at specific locations also may be revealed by nuclease protection assays, such as RNase and S1 protection or a chemical cleavage method. See, e.g., Cotton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 85: 4397-4401 (1985).
Agents for detecting a nucleic acid of the invention, e.g., comprising the sequence set forth in a subject nucleic acid sequence, include labeled nucleic acid probes capable of hybridizing to a nucleic acid of the invention. The nucleic acid probe can comprise, for example, the full length sequence of a nucleic acid of the invention, or an equivalent thereof, or a portion thereof, such as an oligonucleotide of at least 15, 30, 50, 100, 250 or 500 nucleotides in length and sufficient to specifically hybridize under stringent conditions to a subject nucleic acid sequence, or the complement thereof Agents for detecting a polypeptide of the invention, e.g., comprising an amino acid sequence of a subject amino acid sequence, include labeled anti-antibodies capable of binding to a natural IgM antibody of the invention. Anti-idiotypic antibodies may be polyclonal, or alternatively, monoclonal.
An intact anti-idiotypic antibody, or a fragment thereof can be used. Labeling the probe or antibody also encompasses direct labeling of the probe or antibody by coupling (e.g., physically linking) a detectable substance to the probe or antibody, as well as indirect labeling of the probe or antibody by reactivity with another reagent that is directly labeled.
Examples of indirect labeling include detection of a primary antibody using a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody and end-labeling of a DNA probe with biotin such that it can be detected with fluorescently labeled streptavidin.
In certain embodiments, detection of a nucleic acid of the invention in a biological sample involves the use of a probe/primer in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (see, e.g.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,195 and 4,683,202), such as anchor PCR or RACE PCR, or, alternatively, in a ligation chain reaction (LCR) (see, e.g., Landegran et al.
(1988) Science 241:1077-1080; and Nakazawa et al. (1994) PNAS 91:360-364), the latter of which can be
- 55 -_ particularly useful for distinguishing between orthologs of polynucleotides of the invention (see Abravaya et al. (1995) Nucleic Acids Res. 23:675-682). This method can include the steps of collecting a sample of cells from a patient, isolating nucleic acid (e.g., genomic, mRNA or both) from the cells of the sample, contacting the nucleic acid sample with one or more primers which specifically hybridize to a nucleic acid of the invention under conditions such that hybridization and amplification of the polynucleotide (if present) occurs, and detecting the presence or absence of an amplification product, or detecting the size of the amplification product and comparing the length to a control sample.
In one aspect, the present invention contemplates a method for detecting the presence of a natural IgM antibody in a sample, the method comprising: (a) providing a sample to be tested for the presence of a natural IgM antibody; (b) contacting the sample with an anti-idiotypic antibody reactive against about eight consecutive amino acid residues of a subject amino acid sequence from such species under conditions which permit association between the anti-idiotypic antibody and its ligand; and (c) detecting interaction of the anti-idiotypic antibody with its ligand, thereby detecting the presence of a natural IgM antibody in the sample.
In another aspect, the present invention contemplates a method for detecting the presence of a natural IgM antibody in a sample, the method comprising: (a) providing a sample to be tested for the presence of a natural IgM antibody; (b) contacting the sample with an anti-idiotypic antibody that binds specifically to a polypeptide of the invention from such species under conditions which permit association between the anti-idiotypic antibody and its ligand; and (c) detecting interaction of the anti-idiotypic antibody with its ligand, thereby detecting the presence of such species in the sample.
In yet another example, the present invention contemplates a method for diagnosing a patient suffering from an inflammatory disease or condition related to the presence of a natural Ig1\4 antibody, comprising: (a) obtaining a biological sample from a patient; (b) detecting the presence or absence of a polypeptide of the invention, e.g., a natural Ig114 antibody, or a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of the invention, in the sample; and (c) diagnosing a patient suffering from such an inflammatory disease or condition based on the presence of a polypeptide of the invention, or a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of the invention, in the patient sample.
- 56 -_ The diagnostic assays of the invention may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of a treatment in an individual suffering from an inflammatory disease or condition related to a natural IgM antibody. For example, the presence and/or amount of a nucleic acid of the invention or a polypeptide of the invention can be detected in an individual suffering from an inflammatory disease or condition related to a natural IgM antibody before and after treatment with a natural IgM antibody therapeutic agent. Any change in the level of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the invention after treatment of the individual with the therapeutic agent can provide information about the effectiveness of the treatment course.
In particular, no change, or a decrease, in the level of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the invention present in the biological sample will indicate that the therapeutic is successfully combating such disease or disorder.
Alternatively, polypeptides of the invention, e.g., natural IgM antibodies, can be detected in vivo in a subject by introducing into the subject a labeled antibody specific for a polypeptide of the invention, e.g., an anti-idiotypic antibody to detect natural IgM
antibodies. For example, the anti-idiotypic antibody can be labeled with a radionuclide marker whose presence and location in a subject can be detected by standard imaging techniques.
A "radionuclide" refers to molecule that is capable of generating a detectable image that can be detected either by the naked eye or using an appropriate instrument, e.g.
positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission tomography (SPECT).
Radionuclides useful within the present disclosure include penetrating photon emitters including gamma emitters and X-ray emitters. These rays accompany nuclear transfoiniation such as electron capture, beta emission and isomeric transition.
Radionuclides useful include those with photons between 80 and 400 keV and positron producers, 511 keV annihilation photons and acceptable radiation doses due to absorbed photons, particles and half life. Radionuclides include radioactive isotopes of an element.
-, Examples of radionuclides include 123I 125 , 1 99mTc, isF, 68Ga, 62cu, Hi/11,131i, 186-e, '"Re, 90y, 212Bi, 211At, 89sr, 166H0, 153sm, 67cu, "Cu, 100F,d, 212pb, 109pd, 67Ga, 94Tc, 105- -1, 95RU, 177Lu, 170L - u "C, and 76Br.
In one embodiment, an anti-idiotypic antibody that recognizes a natural IgM
antibody of the present invention may be labeled with 99mTc. 99'Tc, a commonly used radionuclide in Nuclear Medicine, combines desirable physical properties with a 6 hr half-
- 57 -_ life and a 140-KeV gamma energy (85% as gamma photons) and widespread availability, since it can readily be eluted from molybdenum generators.
The imaging agents of the disclosure may be used in the following manner. An effective amount of the imaging agent (from 1 to 50 mCi) may be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for use in imaging studies. In accordance with the disclosure, "an effective amount" of the imaging agent of the disclosure is defined as an amount sufficient to yield an acceptable image using equipment which is available for clinical use. An effective amount of the imaging agent of the disclosure may be administered in more than one injection. Effective amounts of the imaging agent of the disclosure will vary according to factors such as the degree of susceptibility of the individual, the age, sex, and weight of the individual, idiosyncratic responses of the individual and dosimetry. Effective amounts of the imaging agent of the disclosure will also vary according to instrument and film-related factors. Optimization of such factors is well within the level of skill of a person skilled in the art.
The amount of imaging agent used for diagnostic purposes and the duration of the imaging study will depend upon the nature and severity of the condition being treated, on the nature of therapeutic treatments which the patient has undergone, and on the idiosyncratic responses of the patient. Ultimately, the attending physician will decide the amount of imaging agent to administer to each individual patient and the duration of the imaging study.
The pharmaceutically acceptable cattier for an imaging agent of the disclosure may include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifimgal agents, isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. The imaging agent of the disclosure may further be administered to an individual in an appropriate diluent or adjuvant, co-administered with enzyme inhibitors or in an appropriate carrier such as human serum albumin or liposomes. Supplementary active compounds can also be incorporated into the imaging agent of the disclosure. Pharmaceutically acceptable diluents; include saline and aqueous buffer solutions. Adjuvants contemplated herein include resorcinols, non-ionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene oleyl ether and nhexadecyl polyethylene ether. Enzyme inhibitors include pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, diethylpyrocarbonate, and trasylol. Liposomes include water-in-oil-in-water CGF
emulsions as well as conventional liposomes (Strejan et al. (1984)J.
Neuroimmunol. 7, 27).
- 58 -In one embodiment, the imaging agent of the disclosure is administered parenterally as injections (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous). The imaging agent may be formulated as a sterile, pyrogen-free, parenterally acceptable aqueous solution. The preparation of such parenterally acceptable solutions, having due regard to p1-I, isotonicity, stability, and the like, is within the skill in the art. Certain pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more imaging agents in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents. A
formulation for injection should contain, in addition to the cardiovascular imaging agent, an isotonic vehicle such as sodium chloride solution, Ringer's solution, dextrose solution, dextrose and sodium chloride solution, lactated Ringer's solution, dextran solution, sorbitol solution, a solution containing polyvinyl alcohol, or an osmotically balanced solution comprising a surfactant and a viscosity-enhancing agent, or other vehicle as known in the art. The formulation used in the present disclosure may also contain stabilizers, preservatives, buffers, antioxidants, or other additives known to those of skill in the art.
The invention also encompasses kits for detecting the presence of a natural IgM
antibody in a biological sample. For example, the kit can comprise a labeled compound or agent capable of detecting a polynucleotide or polyp eptide of the invention in a biological sample; means for determining the amount of a natural IgM antibody in the sample; and means for comparing the amount of a natural IgM antibody in the sample with a standard.
An unlabeled compound may also be provided with instructions for labeling the compound.
The compound or agent can be packaged in a suitable container_ The kit can further comprise instructions for using the kit to detect a pc:lb/nucleotide or polypeptide of the invention.
Exemplification The invention, having been generally described, may be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.
-59-Example 1: Mechanism of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury This Example shows that mice deficient in the complement system were resistant to ischemia-reperfusion injury.
To examine the mechanism of ischemia-reperfusion injury, mice deficient in complement C3 were treated in the hindlimb model. The C3-/- mice were partially =
protected from injury based on an approximate 50% reduction in permeability index (see Weiser et al. (1996) J. Exp. Med. 1857-1864). Thus, complement C3 is essential for induction of full injury in this murine model.
The experiments in Weiser et al. did not identify how complement was activated.
The serum complement system can be activated by at least three distinct pathways, classical, lectin or alternative. Knowing which pathway is involved, is important as it suggests a mechanism for injury. For example, the classical pathways is activated very efficiently by IgM and IgG isotypes of immunoglobulin or by the serum recognition protein C-reactive protein. Whereas, the lectin pathway is activated following recognition of specific carbohydrates such as mannan by mannan binding lectin (MBL) (Epstein et al., (1996) Inununo18, 29-35). In both pathways, complement C4 is required in forming an enzyme complex with C2 that catalyzes cleavage of the central component C3. By contrast, the alternative pathway activates spontaneously leading to conversion of C3 to its active form (C3b) and attachment to foreign-or self-tissues. The pathway is tightly regulated as all host cells express inhibitors of amplification of the complement pathway by inactivating, or displacing the C3 convertase (Muller-Eberhard, H.J., (1988) Ann. Rev.
Bioehein. 57, 321-347). One approach for determining the pathway involved is use of mice deficient in C4, i.e., cannot form C3 convertase via classical or lectin pathways. Comparison of mice deficient in either C3 or C4 with wild type (WT) controls in the hindlimb model, revealed that C4 was also required for induction of full injury (Weiser et al.
supra). This finding was important as it suggested that antibody or MBL might be involved.
Example 2: Natural IgM Mediates Ischemia Reperfusion (I/R) Injury This Example shows that mice deficient in immunoglobulin were resistant to ischemia-reperfusion injury.
To determine if antibody was involved in mediating I/R injury, mice totally deficient in immunoglobulin, RAG2-/- (recombinase activating gene-2 deficient) were characterized along with the complement deficient animals in the intestinal model.
Significantly, the RAG-2-/- mice were protected to a similar level as observed in the
- 60 -=

=
complement deficient animals (Weiser et al. supra). Since the RAG2-/- animals are also missing mature lymphocytes, it was important to determine that the pathogenic effect was antibody dependent (Shinkai et al. (1992) Cell 68, 855-867). To confirm that injury was mediated by serum antibody, the deficient animals were reconstituted with either normal mouse sera (Weiser et al. supra) or purified IgM (William_s et al.
(1999) J. Appl. Physiol 86; 938-42). In both cases, the reconstituted RAG-2-1-mice were no longer protected and injury was restored. In the latter experiments, a model of intestinal injury was used as in this model, injury is thought to be mediated primarily by complement.
The interpretation of these results is that during the period of ischemia, neoantigens are either expressed or exposed on the endothelial cell surface.
Circulating IgMs appear to recognize the new determinant, bind and activate classical pathway of complement. While the nature of the antigen is not known, IgM rather than IgG
seems to be primarily responsible for activation of complement as reconstitution of deficient mice with pooled IgG did not significantly restore injury in the mice. An alternative hypothesis is that there is another initial event such as the MBL pathway that recognizes the altered endothelial surface, induces low level complement activation which in turn exposes new antigenic sites and the pathway is amplified by binding of IgM.
Example 3: Pathogenic IgM is a Product of B-1 cells Since a major fraction of circulating IgM is thought to represent natural antibody, i.e. product of rearranged germline genes, it is possible that mice bearing deficiencies in the B-1 fraction of lymphocytes might also be protected. B-1 cells have a distinct phenotype from more conventional B-2 cells in that they express low levels of Ig19 and CD23 and a major fraction express the cell surface protein CD5 (Hardy et al., (19 94) Immunol. Rev.: 137, 91; Kantor etal. (1993) Annu. Rev. Inununol. 11, 501-538, 1993. B-1 cells are also distinguished by reduced circulation in mice, limited frequency in the peripheral lymph nodes and spleen and are primarily localized within the peritoneal cavity.
To examine a role for B-1 cells as a source of pathogenic IgM, antibody-deficient mice (RAG-2-/-) were reconstituted with 5 X 105 peritoneal B-1 cells and rested approximately 30 days before treatment. Circulating IgM levels reach a near normal range within a month following adoptive transfer. Characterization of the B-1 cell reconstituted mice in the intestinal ischemia model confirmed that B-1 cells were a major source of pathogenic IgM
- 61 -(see Williams et al. (1999) supra). This was an important observation because the repertoire of B-1 cell natural antibody is considerably more limited than would be expected for conventional B-2 cells. Therefore, it is possible that the pathogenic antibody represents a product of the germline.
Example 4: Cr2-/- Mice are protected from Ischemia Reperfusion Injury The initial characterization of Cr2-/- knockout mice revealed an approximate 50%
reduction in the frequency of B-la or CD5 + B-1 cells (Abeam et al. (1996) Immunity 4:
251-262). Although characterization of another strain of Cr2-deficient mice did not identify a similar reduction (Molina et al. (1996)Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93, 3357-3361).
Whether the difference in frequency of CD5 + cells was due to variation in strain background or environmental differences is not known. Despite the reduced frequency of B-1 a cells in the Cr2-/- mice, circulating levels of IgM were within the normal range. These findings suggested that the repertoire of IgM might be different in the Cr2-deficient animals. To test this hypothesis, mice in the intestinal PR model were characterized.
Surprisingly, the Cr2-/- mice were equally protected as the complete-antibody deficient mice (Figure 3). Comparison of survival over a five-day period following treatment in the intestinal model demonstrated a significant increase in mortality of the WT
compared to Cr2-deficient animals. Consistent with an increased mortality, a dramatic reduction in injury was observed in tissue sections harvested from treated WT or Cr2-/- deficient mice.
Extensive injury to the mucosal layer of the intestine was observed in WT mice or Cr2-/- mice reconstituted with pooled IgM or B-1 cells. By contrast, tissue sections isolated from treated Cr2-/- mice were similar to that of sham controls. Thus, despite normal circulating levels of IgM, the Cr2-deficient mice were protected from injury. These results not only confirm the importance of 13-1 cells as a source of pathogenic antibody but suggest that the complement system is somehow involved in formation or maintenance of the repertoire of natural antibody. For example, complement may be involved in positive selection of B-1 cells.
Example 5: Identification of Pathogenic IgMs This Example describes the generation of a specific hybridoma clone from normal B-1 cells and the identification of one clone that produces a pathogenic IgM. The pathogenic IgM was shown to restore injury in vivo to antibody deficient mice.
- 62 --= CA 02812132 2013-04-04 =
Studies in mice bearing a deficiency in complement receptors CD21/CD35, revealed that the mice were missing the pathogenic antibody. This finding was unexpected because they have a normal level of IgM in their blood. These findings led to the hypothesis that a special population of B cells termed B-1 cells are responsible for secreting the pathogenic IgM. For example, engraftment of the receptor deficient mice (Cr2-/-) with B-1 cells from normal mice restored injury, confirming the importance of B-I cells. To identify the specific antibody or antibodies responsible for injury, a panel of hybridoma clones were constructed from an enriched pool of peritoneal B-1 cells harvested from normal mice. The general approach for preparing hybridomas from enriched fraction of peritoneal cells includes harvesting peritoneal cells from mice treated 7 days earlier with IL-10 and subsequently enriched for CD23 negative B cells by negative selection with magnetic beads.
Enriched B
cells are analyzed by FACS following staining with IgM, Mac-1 and CD23 specific Mab.
The enriched population is further activated by culturing with LPS for 24 hours. Activated cells are hybridized with fusion partner myeloma cells in the presence of PEG
and grown in HAT-selective medium. Hybridomas are screened for IgM secreting clones by ELISA , and positive wells are expanded for purification of IgM.
Twenty-two IgM-secreting hybridoma clones were analyzed by pooling an equal amount of IgM product from each of the clones. Treatment of antibody-deficient mice with the pooled IgM restored injury similar to that seen with pooled IgM from serum. This finding confirmed that the pathogenic IgM was among the twenty-two hybridomas produced. By dividing the pools into two fractions, i.e., 1-11 and 12-22, and treatment mice with the two fractions, the pathogenic antibody was found to fractionate with the pool that included clone # 22. Finally, mice were reconstituted with either clone 17 or 22.
Clone 22 restored injury whereas the other clones did not (see Figure 4).
Example 6: Complement involvement in B-1 cell selection Two different models have been proposed to explain the development of B-1 cells.
The lineage hypothesis proposes that B-1 cells develop in early fetal life as a distinct population (Kantor et al. (1993) supra). Alternatively, B-1 cells develop from the same progenitors as conventional B cells but depending on their environment, i.e., encounter with antigen, they develop into B-1 or retain the B-2 cell phenotype (Wortis, H.H.
(1992) Int.
Rev. Immunol. 8, 235; Clarke, J. (1998) Exp. Med. 187, 1325-1334).
Irrespective of their origin, it is known that B-1 cells are not replenished from adult bone marrow at the same
- 63 --frequency as B-2 cells and that their phenotype is more similar to that of early fetal liver B cells or neonatal bone marrow (BM) cells. Consistent with an early origin, their repertoire tends to be biased towards expression of more proximal VH genes and N-nucleotide addition is limited (Gu et al. (1990) EMBO J 9, 2133; Feeney, J. (1990) Exp. Med 172, 1377). It seems reasonable that given the reduced replenishment by adult BM stem cells, B-1 cells are self-renewed and that antigen stimulation might be important in their renewal, expansion or even initial selection (Hayakawa et al., (1986)Eur. J
Immunol. 16, 1313). Indeed inherent to the conventional model, B-1 cells must be antigen selected.
Evidence in support of a B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling requirement for positive selection of B-1 cells comes from mice bearing mutations that alter BCR
signaling. For example, impairment of BCR signaling through CD 19, vav, or Btk dramatically affects development of B-1 cells.
By contrast, loss of negative selection such as in CD22- or SHIP-1 deficient mice can lead to an increase in B-1 cell frequency (O'Keefe etal. (1996) Science 274, 798-801; Shultz et al.
(1993) Cell 73, 1445). Recent, elegant studies with mice bearing two distinct Ig transgenes, VIII 2 (B-1 cell phenotype) or VHB1-8 (B-2 cell phenotype) support the view that B-1 cells are positively selected by self-antigens. For example, B cells expressing VH12 either alone or together with B1-8 developed a B-1 cell phenotype. Whereas, few if any B cells were identified that expressed the B1-8 transgene only. Thus, these results suggested that encounter of transgenic B cells with self-PtC resulted in expansion of those expressing VH12. Selection of B-1 cells was recently reported by Hardy et al. (1994) Immunol. Rev. 137, 91).
In their model, B cells expressing an immunoglobulin transgene specific for Thy 1.1 were selected and expanded in mice expressing the cognate antigen. By contrast, transgene +B-1 cells were not found in mice that expressed the alternative allotype Thy 1.2.
Where does complement fit into B-1 cell development? The overall reduction in B-1 a cell frequency and the more specific loss of B-1 cells expressing IgM involved in I/R injury suggests a role for CD21/CD35 in either positive selection or maintenance of B-1 a cells. One possible role for complement is that it enhances BCR signaling on encounter with cognate antigen. Biochemical studies and analysis of CD21/CD35 deficient mice demonstrate the importance of co-receptor signaling in activation and survival of conventional B cells (Carroll, M.C., (1998)Ann. Rev. Immunol. 16, 545-568;
Fearon et al. (1995)Annu.
Rev. Immunol. 13, 127-149). It is very likely that B-1 cells likewise utilize co-receptor signaling to enhance the BCR signal. For example, bacteria express typical B-1
- 64 -cell antigens such as phosphoryl choline and it is not unreasonable that coating of bacteria with complement ligand C3d would enhance crosslinking of the co-receptor with the BCR
and enhance overall signaling. Thus, antigens expressed at lower concentrations might require complement enhancement in order for the cognate B-cell to recognize it and expand or be positively selected. Another role for complement receptors is in localizing antigen on follicular dendritic cells (FDC) within the lymphoid compartment. However, since the major population of B-1 cells occupy the peritoneal tissues it is not clear if they would encounter FDC within lymphoid structures. The actual site or sites in which B-I cells undergo positive selection are not known. It is possible that they must encounter cognate antigen in early fetal development or in neonatal BM. If this is the case, it might be expected that complement receptors on stromal cells within these compartments bind antigen for presentation to B cells. It is possible that complement receptors could participate in both stages of development. First, they might enhance antigens signaling in initial positive selection. Secondly, as selected B-1 cells are replenished at peripheral sites, complement receptors might again be involved in enhancement of BCR signaling.
Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the proposed role for complement and complement receptors in positive selection of peritoneal B-1 lymphocytes. The interaction of complement-ligand coated antigens (self- and non-self) results in co-ligation of the CD21/CD19 co-receptor and BCR on the cell surface leading to enhanced signaling and positive selection.
Example 7: Materials and Methods for Examples 8-11 Phage display peptide library and peptide synthesis A 12-mer M-13 phage display library (New England Biolab, MA) was screened by 4 rounds with MBL-beads coated with Igmcm-22 and 2 rounds with IgMcm-75 according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Phage clones were selected from the enriched pool and the nucleotide sequence of the relevant phage gene determined for at least ten clones.
Selected peptides were synthesized with purity>95% in Harvard Proteomic Core or New England Peptide, Inc. (Gardner, MA).
Binding assays ELISA was performed as described earlier (Zhang et al. (2004) PNAS USA
101:3886-91). Briefly, IgM binding to phage or phage-specific peptides was determined by
- 65 -coating a 96-well plate with saturating amounts of antigen. Subsequent to blocking, IgM was added (1 or 10 ig/ml) for 2 hr at 37 C. Plates were washed and then developed with alkaline phosphatase-labeled goat anti-mouse IgM (Sigma, MO). Binding of IgM to NMFIC-II was determined by culturing 96-well plates previously coated with specific rabbit antibody (NMI-IC-HA & B; Covance Research Products;
NMHC-II C a gift from Dr. Adelstein, NHLBI, NTH, Bethesda, MD) or pan-myosin Hc (Sigma, MO) with intestinal lysates prepared from IgMcm-22 reconstituted RAG-14- mice either sham treated or treated for ischemia as described (Zhang et al. (2004) PNAS USA 101:3886-91). Lysates were prepared as described for immune precipitation (see below). Alkaline-phosphatase labeled goat anti-mouse IgM (Sigma, MO) was then used to detect bound IgM.
Intestinal RI model Surgical protocol for RI was performed as previously described (Zhang et at.
(2004) PNAS USA 101:3886-91). Briefly, a laparotomy is performed, and a microclip (125g pressure, Roboz, MD) was applied to the superior mesenteric artery and bilateral circulation limited with silk sutures flanking a 20 cm segment of the jejunum. After 40 minutes of ischemia, the microclip was removed, and reperfusion of the mesenteric vasculature was confirmed by the return of pulsation to the vascular arcade and a change to pink color. The incision was closed, and all animals kept warm for 3 hours. Reconstituted RAG-14' animals received either IgM mixed with peptide or saline in 0.2 ml volume intravenously 30 min before the initial laparotomy. WT animals were treated with saline or peptide i.v. 5 minutes prior to reperfusion. At the end of reperfusion, the ischemic segment of the jejunum was harvested and the central 4 cm was cut for pathological analysis.
Histopathology and immuno-histochemistry analysis Cryostat sections of intestinal tissues were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and examined by light microscopy for mucosa! damage. Pathology score was assessed based on procedure by Chiu (Chiu et al, Arch Surg 101:484-488, 1970; Chiu, et at, Arch Surg 101:478-483, 1970) that included direct inspection of all microvilli over a 4 cm stretch ofjejuneum as described. Zhang etal. (2004) PNAS
USA 101:3886-91. For immuno-fluorescence, cryosections fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde were incubated for varying periods with either biotin-labeled anti-mouse IgM
(Becton Dickinson, CA) followed by 1 hour with streptavidin-Alexa-568 (1: 500 dilution, Molecular Probes, OR).
C4 deposition was detected by staining with FITC-labeled rabbit anti-huC4c (DAKO, CO),
- 66 -= WO 2005/085288 followed by anti-rabbit-Alexa 488 (Molecular Probes, OR). The specificity of anti-C4c staining was confirmed by staining serial sections with biotin-labeled anti-mouse C4 for 1 hour followed by streptavidin-FITC (Becton Dickinson, CA). C3 deposition was detected =
by treating with FITC-labeled anti-C3 (DAKO, CO). Sections were mounted in Anti-fade Mounting Medium with DAPI (Molecular Probes, OR).
SPR analysis of peptide binding to antibody An IgM (IgMCM-22 or IgMcm-31' ) antibody was immobilized by amine coupling in a BiaCore SPR CM5Tm chip flowcell at a density of 33,400 response units (RU) ¨33 ng/mm2 as described. Vorup-Jensen et al, PNAS USA 100: 1873-1878, 2003. Briefly, a reference flow cell was prepared by coupling of ethanolamine-HC1. Peptides, diluted in PBS running buffer, were flowed separately over the IgM-coupled surface and the reference at a rate of 10 I/min at 25 C and with the data collection rate at 10 Hz. The injection phase had a duration of 240 s (end of injection phases are marked by arrow heads in Figures 9A, B and D). Binding isotherms were derived by subtracting the response in the reference cell from the response of the IgM-coupled surface. Following each run, the surface was regenerated by injecting 40 gl 0.05% (v/v) polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaureate/PBS.
Immune precipitation Frozen tissues were homogenized in a lysis buffer containing detergent and a cocktail of enzyme inhibitors. A sample of lysate is analyzed for total protein content (Bio-Rad kit) to insure similar levels of protein for analysis. Lysates are mixed with sepharose beads coated with rat anti-mouse IgM for 1 hr at 4 C. Subsequently, beads were pelleted gently, washed in lysis buffer and then boiled in SDS-sample buffer under reducing conditions to elute bound complexes. Samples were fractionated on 6% (w/v) polyacrylamide SDS gels and subsequently fixed and then stained with either coomassie blue or silver stain to identify protein bands.
Protein identification by tandem mass spectrometry Individual Coomassie Blue-stained bands were excised from SDS-gels, destained, and subjected to enzyme digestion as described previously. Borodovsky et al, Chem Biol 9:
1149-1159, 2002. The peptides were separated using a nanoflow liquid coupled chromatography system (Waters Cap LC) and amino acid sequences determined by tandem mass spectrometer (Q-TOF micro, Waters, MA). MS/MS data were processed and
- 67 -=

subjected to database searches using Mascot (Matrixscience) against Swissprot, TREMBL/New or the NCBY non-redundant database.
Example 8: Identification of asparagine-rich peptides that bind natural IgM
antibody We previously identified a hybridoma clone of a natural IgM antibody (IgMc 2) that binds ischemic tissue in the intestinal RI model, which support our hypothesis that ischemic tissue was altered relative to normal tissue and that neo-epitopes expressed during ischemia were targets for an innate response to self. To characterize the ligand bound by pathogenic IgMC4-22, a M-I 3 phage-display library of random 12-mer amino acid sequences was screened using beads coated with the specific IgM.
After four rounds of specific screening and two rounds with a control IgM
(clone IgMcm:15), ten phage clones were isolated and the nucleotide sequence of the relevant M-13 gene sequenced. Notably, all ten clones contain sequences rich in asparagine.
Five of the clones were selected for a relative binding assay with IgM2m-22 and one of these clones, P8, which bound with the highest efficiency was selected for further study (Table 4 and Figure 6A).
Table 4: Phage displayed peptides bind to IgmCM-22 Phage Clone Sequence SEQ ID NO:

Asparagine-rich Consensus xNNNxNNxNNNN 14
- 68 -_ A 12- amino acid peptide (P8) was synthesized based on the phage sequence and assayed for inhibition of phage P8 binding to IgMcm"22 (Figure 6B). Titration of increasing amounts of P8 peptide yielded 50% inhibition at an estimated concentration of 10 umol.
This assay indicates a reasonable overall avidity of binding based on multiple binding sites expressed on the phage surface. This result suggested that IgmCM-22 binding to phage PS
was specific for the peptide region and that the synthetic peptide could be used as a mimotope for the actual antigen. To further characterize binding of P8 peptide to IgMcNA-22 ELISA plates were coated with the peptide and tested with IgMcm"22 or control IgMcm"75 for binding (Figure 6C). At the lower concentration of 1 jig/ml, neither IgM bound above background. However, at 10 jig/ml, significantly more IgMcm-22 bound than IgMcm:75.
Together, the three results suggest that peptide P8 binds specifically to IgMavl"22 and can be used for identification of the actual antigen.
Example 9: Asparagine-rich peptide P8 blocks intestinal RI
Previous studies had demonstrated that intestinal RI in RAG-14" mice was IgM-dependent and that IgMcm"22 alone was sufficient to restore injury. As expected, reconstitution of RAG-14- mice with IgMem-22 but not saline prior to reperfusion resulted in RI (Figure 7A(i) and Figure 7B). By contrast, mixing of igmcm-22 with P8 prior to injec-tion in ischemic mice significantly blocked apparent injury (mean pathology score 6 3 versa s 31 13; p<0.001) (Figure 7Aii and Figure 7B). Previous titration of peptide with Ig4CM-22 suggested an optimal concentration of 10 IIM of P8 was sufficient to block 50-100 lag of IgMem"22 (0.1-0.2 jtM).
Immunohistological analyses of serial sections of reperfiised intestinal tissue (jejuneum) following RI identified co-localization of IgM and complement C4 and C3 within the microvilli in RAG-14" mice reconstituted with Igmcm-22 (Figure 7Ci-iv). By contrast, sections prepared from mice receiving P8 showed no evidence of IgM
or complement binding (Figure 7Cv-viii). No binding of IgM or complement was observed in Ig4cm-22 reconstituted sham controls, nor RAG-I1 mice reconstituted with control IgMc.m-31 or RAG- 14" mice reconstituted with saline only (Zhang et al. (2004) PNAS
USA
101:3886-91). Thus, P8 blocks the binding of IgMcm"22 and the induction of injury in vi-vo.
The identification of a single natural IgM antibody that could initiate RI in mice led to the general question of the number of possible neo-epitopes expressed on
- 69 -= CA 02812132 2013-04-04 ischemic tissues and the corresponding number of pathogenic clones of IgM in the repertoire of wild type (WT) mice. It might be predicted that the number of antibodies is limited based on the current understanding that the repertoire of natural IgMs is relatively small. Herzenberg et al, Inzmwzol Today 14: 79-83, discussion 88-90, 1993;
Arnold et al, J
Exp Med 179: 1585-1595, 1994.. Moreover, ligands of natural IgM antibodies are considered highly conserved structures and also are probably limited in number. To test if P8 represented a mimotope for a major self-antigen, WT mice were pretreated with P8 (approximately 10 piM) five minutes prior to reperfusion in the intestinal model. Analysis of jejuneum tissues of mice treated with saline or a control peptide prior to reperfusion identified significant injury to the microvilli as expected (Figure 7Aiii). By contrast, pretreatment of WT mice with P8 five minutes prior to reperfusion blocked apparent injury (mean pathology score 5+3 versus 24+16 and 23+19; p<0.005 and 0.027, respectively) (Figure 7A(iv) and Figure 7B). As expected, IgM, C4 and C3 co-localized within microvilli of RI treated WT mice (Figure 7Cix-xii). By contrast, no apparent deposits of IgM or complement were observed in reperfused tissues of mice administered P8 (Figure 7Cxiii-xvi). These results suggest that the number of key epitopes required to initiate RI is limited as a single peptide blocks injury and deposition of IgM and complement.
Example 10: Immunoprecipitation of self-peptides with IgMcm-22 Using the amino acid sequence of PS, a homology search of the genomic database revealed no exact matches. Therefore, an immune-precipitation approach was used to identify the ischemia antigen/antigens in RAG-1I- mice reconstituted with IgMcm-22.
RAG-11- mice were reconstituted with an optimal amount of IgMCM-22, treated for intestinal ischemia and reperfused for varying lengths of time, i.e., 0 minutes or 15 minutes before harvesting of tissues. Immune complexes of IgM-antigen were isolated from lysates of jejuneum at the varying time points and fractionated by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. Analysis of the stained gels indicated common bands at lower molecular weight for all time points (Figure SA). However, at 15 minutes, a band at high molecular weight (>200 kD) was identified (Figure 8A).
Protein bands were excised from stained gels, enzymatically digested and peptides =
analyzed by Tandem Mass Spec as described. Kocks et al, Mol Cell Proteonzics 2: 1188-1197, 2003. Analysis of eluted peptides indicated that the common bands at approximately
- 70 -25, 50 and 75 kDa represented immunoglohnlin light chain (Lc), and IgG heavy chain (Hc) and IgM Re, respectively. Analysis of the high molecular weight band yielded peptide sequences homologous to non-muscle myosin heavy chain (NMHC) type II isoforms A and C (Table 5).

In similar experiments using lysates prepared fiom WT mice treated for 3 hours in intestinal RI, a similar size band at 200 kD was also observed and sequence analysis identified NMHC-A and C peptides.
- 71 -Three forms of type II NMHC have been identified (A, B and C) in the mouse and human genome. Golomb et al, J Biol Chem 279: 2800-2808, 2004; Kelley et al, J
Cell Biol 134: 675-687, 1996. All eukaryotic cells express type II NMHC but the distribution of the three isoforms varies. NMHC-II A and B are approximately 85% homologous;
wherea.s NMHC-II C is approximately 65% similar. Golomb et al, J Biol Chem 279: 2800-280S, 2004. The three isotypes are highly conserved among mice and humans.
To confirm the binding of IgmCM-22 to type II NMHC, an ELISA approach was used. Plates were coated with antibody specific for each of the three forms of NMHC cif with a pan-myosin antibody to capture the relevant antigen from lysates prepared from jejuneum of RAG-14" mice. Subsequently, I
gMcm-22 or IgMcm-31 were added and then developed with a labeled anti-mouse IgM antibody. Above background binding of IgIVICM-22 but not IgMcm-3I to all three of the isoforms of NMHC-II was observed (Figure 8B). The combined sequence analysis and ELISA results show that IgMcm-22 recognizes a conserved region of the type II NMHC.
To determine whether myosin is exposed to circulating antibody following ischemia, RAG-14- mice were reconstitute with a purified IgG fraction of rabbit anti-pan myosin heavy chain. Analysis of tissues of sham treated RAG-14- following reconstitution with the rabbit IgG mice showed no evidence of injury or deposition of IgG. By contrast, ischemic RAG-14" mice reconstituted with the pan-myosin IgG prior to reperfiision developed significant RI compared to saline controls (33 11 versus 11 8, p<0.028) (Figure 8C). Accordingly, myosin is exposed to antibody in circulation following ischemia.
Comparison of the sequences of the three NMHC-II isoforms with the P8 peptide sequence identified one region of apparent homology (Table 6). All three isoforms include a motif of NxxxxNxNx that has similarity with the P8 sequence. A 12- amino acid ser-peptide (N2) sequence (NMHC-II C isoform) was prepared for further study.

To test that this region bound IgMcm-22 surface, plasmon resonance analysis was used (Figure 9). N2 peptide was injected over a surface coupled with IgmCM-22 (Figure 9A) and generated a robust response, which corresponded to a KID of 123+61 1.LM
(mean+SD, n=2) as calculated from the steady-state response levels (Figure 9C). In contrast, no binding was observed when a control peptide was injected over the specific IgM-coupled surface (Figure 9B) or when the N2 peptide was injected over a surface coupled with the IgMcm-3I control (Figure 9D).
Example 11: Self-peptide N2 blocks intestinal RI
To test the functional binding of N2 with pathogenic IgM, approximately 100 nmoles of the peptide (or saline control) was mixed with IgmCM-22 prior to reconstitution of RAG-14- mice and treatment in the RI model. Analysis of histology of tissue sections prepared from the reperfused jejuneum of IgMCM-22_ and saline-treated mice identified injury and deposition of IgM and complement as expected (Figure 5Ai and 5B).
By contrast, mixing the N2 peptide with IgMCM-22 prior to reperfusion was protective from injury (mean pathology score 13+8 versus 31+10; p<0.049) (Figure 10Aii and 10B). In addition, no deposition of IgM and complement was observed in reperfused jejuneum when IgMCM-22 was mixed with the N2 peptide prior to injection in RAG-14_ mice (Figure 10Ci-viii). Thus, as observed with the synthetic peptide P8, the self-peptide N2 blocked functional binding of IgMcm-22 in vivo.
To test if self-peptide N2 represents the major self-epitope in intestinal RI, WT mice were treated with approximately 40 p,M of the synthetic peptide P8 prior to reperfusion in the intestinal model. Histological analysis of tissue sections of saline treated WT mice identified injury and deposition of IgM and complement as expected (Figure 10Aiii and 10Cix-xii). By contrast, treatment of WT mice with self-peptide N2 blocked both injury (mean pathology score 8+5 versus 22+17) and deposition of IgM and complement (Figure 10Aiv; Figure 10B; Figure 10Cxiii-xvi). These results suggest that a conserved region within type II NMEIC proteins represents the major epitope for binding of natural IgM
following ischemia in the intestinal model.
