Definitions
- This invention concerns human monoclonal antibodies, hybrid cell lines that produce the antibodies and the use of the monoclonal antibodies.
- Viruses of the rabies group of Rhabdoviridae comprise viruses that are infectious for nervous tissue of all warm-blooded animals. Rabies is usually contracted from the bite of an infected animal, but may also occur as a result of scratches or abrasions caused by an object contaminated with infected saliva, or rarely by penetration of mucous membranes, by exposure to a virus aerosol or the transplantation of infected tissues. See Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 10th Edition, Petersdorf et al. , eds., McGraw-Hill Book Company, p. 1136 (1983).
- the incidence of the disease in unvaccinated individuals bitten by rabid animals is about 15 percent and varies depending on the amount of the virus in the saliva and the location and depth of the wounds. After an incubation period, usually 30 to 70 days, rabies gives rise to an invariably fatal disease in man.
- the first, or excitement, phase of the disease is characterised by fever, increasing agitation, spasmodic gross muscle contractions and generalised clonic or tonic convulsions with opisthotonos often precipitated by loud noises, bright lights or touch.
- the most typical feature of the disease is severe, painful contractions of the pharyngeal muscles, initially precipitated by attempts to swallow fluids which leads to hydrophobia (fear of water). To avoid swallowing, patients allow saliva to drool from the mouth. Death usually follows a generalised convulsion with prolonged apnea.
- peripheral white blood cell count is usually slightly elevated (12,000 to 17,000 per cubic centimeter) but may be normal or as high as 30,000 per cubic millimeter.
- rabies As in any viral infection, the specific diagnosis of rabies depends upon (1) the isolation of virus from infected secretions [saliva, rarely cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or tissue (brain)], (2) the serologic demonstration of acute infection, or (3) the demonstration of viral antigen in infected tissue, e.g., corneal impression smears, skin biopsies, or brain. Samples of brain obtained either on postmortem examination or from brain biopsy are subjected to (1) mouse inoculation studies for virus isolation, (2) fluorescent-antibody (FA) staining for viral antigen, and (3) histologic and/or electron microscopic examination for Negri bodies.
- FA fluorescent-antibody
- Another method for determination of rabies infection involves capturing the animal suspected of harboring the rabies virus, so that it may be killed and its brain examined by the FA technique. However, it is not always possible to find or capture the animal suspected of inflicting the bite. Thus, a need exists for a quick and accurate test for rabies infection which, in addition, does not require tissue biopsies.
- rabies is an invariably fatal disease in man
- prevention of rabies is of critical importance.
- Control of rabies can be achieved through pre-exposure immunisation with a vaccine or through postexposure treatment.
- Postexposure treatment rests mainly on three measures: (1) cleaning the wound with substances of proven lethal effect on rabies virus; (2) instillation or infiltration of antirabies serum around the wound; and (3) vaccine administration, including parenteral administration of antirabies serum.
- Antirabies serum may be of heterologous or of human origin. With heterologous serum, occurrence of serum sickness is a frequent event (15-45% in persons given heterologous serum of equine origin) and requires administration of an anti-histamine drug.
- the use of antirabies serum of human origin is increasing because of the lower incidence of harmful side effects. However, its supply is limited by the fact that anti ⁇ erum collection is from human volunteers. Thus, it would represent a considerable advance to produce jLn vitro, in unlimited amounts, human anti-rabies antibodies of reproducible specificity and affinity. Somatic cell hybridisation is the method of choice to achieve this goal. Thus, in one aspect, this invention is directed toward the production of such human anti-rabies antibodies.
- Procedure (I) suffers from the disadvantage that EBV-transformed cell lines are extremely unstable in antibody production and, moreover, are very difficult to clone.
- Procedure (II) suffers from the disadvantage that mouse/human hybridomas tend to segregate preferentially human chromosomes and, thus, are highly unstable in sustaining human antibody production.
- the present invention provides human monoclonal antibodies which:
- the invention further provides hybridoma cell lines and progeny thereof which produce the human monoclonal antibodies of the present invention.
- a hybridoma cell line is prepared by a process comprising fusing immortalizing cells with cells derived from a human which produce antibody which binds specifically to viruses of the serotype 1 group of the rabies group of Rhabdoviridae.
- T e invention additionally provides a process for the preparation of a human monoclonal antibody of the invention, which process comprises culturing a hybridoma cell line or progeny thereof according to the invention and recovering the monoclonal antibody thus-produced.
- the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a human monoclonal antibody of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent; and to a method of detecting whether a sample contains a virus of the serotype 1 group of the rabies group of Rhabdoviridae, which method comprises contacting the sample with a monoclonal antibody of the invention and detecting whether an antibody-antigen complex is formed.
- the antibodies may be of any immunoglobulin class, preferentially IgG or IgM.
- Monoclonal antibody can be obtained which recognises an epitope common to at least three laboratory strains of rabies virus - Pitman-Moore, CVS and ERA - and which is able to at least partially protect cells from infection in conditions where the virus •has already bound to the cell-surface.
- Figure 1 shows the detection of neutralizing anti-rabies virus antibodies in hybridoma supernatants.

- rabies virus means viruses of the serotype 1 rabies group of Rhabdoviridae as defined in the WHO Technical Report Series, No. 709 (1984), and comprises both “street rabies viruses”, as used to designate the agents of the naturally occurring disease, as well as “fixed rabies viruses”, as used to designate rapidly multiplying strains used in vaccine production which have lost their infectivity for salivary gland tissue after passage in the laboratory.
- the terms “permanent” and “stable” mean viable over a prolonged time, typically at least about six months.
- the invention enables stable, permanent hybridoma cell lines to be provided which maintain the ability to produce the specified monoclonal antibody through at least 25 passages.
- the term "monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody selected from antibodies whose population is substantially homogeneous, i.e. the individuals of the antibody population are identical except for naturally occurring mutations.
- antibody is also meant to include intact molecules as well as fragments thereof, such as Fab and F(ab') 2 , which are capable of binding antigen.
- Fab and F(ab') 2 fragments lack the Fc fragment of antibody, clear more rapidly from the circulation and may have less non ⁇ specific tissue binding than intact antibody. It will be appreciated that Fab, F(ab') 2 and other fragments of the monoclonal antibody of the present invention may be used as well as the intact antibody for the detection and treatment of rabies viral infection according to the methods of the present invention.
- neutralise is used to denote the ability of antibody-containing supernatants to block the capacity of infectious rabies virus to infect target cells.
- Such a monoclonal antibody is secreted by a hybridoma cell line which has been prepared using cells of an immortalizing cell line and cells derived from a human which produce antibody having the specificity (a) above.
- the immortalizing cell line is a cell line which, for practical purposes, can be maintained perpetually in cell culture. In other words, it is stable and permanent and, when fused with cells which do not exhibit these properties, is able to confer the properties on the fusion product.
- any appropriate immortalizing cell line may be used.
- a plasmacytoma (myeloma) or lymphoblastoid cell line of mammalian origin may be employed such as a lymphoblastoid cell line of human origin.
- a preferred type of cell line is a human hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) deficient and ouabain-resistant lymphoblastoid cell line.
- HPRT human hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyl-transferase
- One such cell line is particularly preferred. This is the cell line FD5 which has been deposited at the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures (ECACC), Porton Down, GB on 19 February 1988 under accession number 87061701.
- This HPRT-deficient and ouabain-resistant mutant cell line was derived from the human B-lymphoblastoid cell line GM 1500A (obtained from the Human Cell Depository,
- HPRT-deficient mutant was obtained through selection in the presence of 20 g/ml 8-azaguanin of an ethyl-methane sulphonate mutagenized cell population.
- the HPRT-deficient line was cultured in medium containing increasing concentrations of ouabain (up to 10 _5 M).
- FD5 cells produce their own low amounts of IgG antibodies ( ⁇ 75 ng/10 6 cells/day). They grow in suspension as a typical lymphoblastoid line, forming large cell clumps.
- the growth medium consists of RPMI 1640
- the immortalizing cells are fused with cells derived from a human which produce antibody which binds specifically to viruses of the serotype 1 group of the rabies group Rhabdoviridae.
- These antibody-producing cells are lymphocytes which may or may not have been transformed with a virus.
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is used for transformation.
- EBV Epstein-Barr virus
- B-lymphocytes which are separated and fused with the immortalizing cells.
- the antibody-producing cells are generally obtained from a human volunteer immunised with respect to a rabies virus of serotype group 1. A commercially available rabies virus vaccine may be used for this purpose.
- Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) are obtained from the volunteer.
- the B-lymphocytes or at least a B-cell rich fraction of the PBL is generally obtained and transformed with a virus if desired.
- the lymphocytes may be restimulated jj vitro with a rabies virus of the serotype 1 group such as an active or inactive (vaccine) rabies virus, in the absence or presence-of a mitogenic substance-, before hybridisation or, if appropriate, transformation.
- the fusion products are screened for those secreting the desired monoclonal antibody.
- preferred strategy not intended to limit the invention in any manner, for preparing and identifying hybrids that produce antibodies of the invention is as follows.
- rabi ' es virus vaccine (Rasilvax (Trade Mark), Sclavo, Italy) consisting of an inactivated and lyophilized suspension of rabies virus (strain Pitman-Moore/Wistar PM/W 381503-3M) .
- PBL obtained from this donor are separated into a B-cell enriched and a B-cell depleted fraction through panning on goat anti-human immuneglobulin- coated plastic dishes.
- the cells of the adherent,- B-cell enriched fraction are transformed with EBV and cultured at 1000 cells per microtiter well using irradiated (3000 Rad) mouse peritoneal cells as feeder cells.
- Supernatants from the resulting lymphoblastoid cell lines are screened after approximately 15 days in an ELISA for immunoglobulin production and then in an ELISA against Rasilvax for the detection of antibodies binding to determinants defined by the vaccine.
- Supernatants that score positive in both assays and which exhibit the highest activities in the latter assay are pooled, expanded, and finally fused to HPRT-deficient and ouabain- resistant FD5 cells.
- Hybrids are selected in a tissue culture medium containing aminopterin and ouabain.
- Supernatants are screened in a Rasilvax-ELISA as described in the Example below. Those exhibiting the highest activities in this assay are treated for their ability to neutralise infectious rabies virus.
- Cells from wells producing the desired antibodies are cloned by limiting dilution in wells containing irradiated mouse peritoneal cells as feeder cells.
- the progeny of clones producing the desired antibodies are grown i_n vitro in suitable culture media in tissue culture flasks or in a hollow fiber tissue culture device (e.g. Acusyst-Jr., Endotronics, Coon Rapids, Minnesota) or in vivo in immunodeficient laboratory animals.
- the antibody may be separated from the culture medium or body fluid, as the case may be, by techniques such as ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromotography, affinity chromatography, high- performance liquid chromatography or by other techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- the preferred strategy therefore, it is possible to produce human monoclonal antibodies which are characterised in that: a) their population is substantially homogeneous; b) they are produced by immortal cells which are themselves hybrids between an immortal cell line and an antibody-producing human cell; c) they bind to determinants defined by a rabies virus vaccine; and d) they neutralise infectious rabies virus so that it can no longer infect target cells.
- the monoclonal antibodies of the invention find therapeutic application as part of a suitable post-exposure protocol in individuals at risk to develop rabies. They can be instilled or infiltrated around the wound or administered parenterally together with a vaccine.

- the monoclonal antibody is preferentially by methods presently employed with rabies immune globulin of either human or heterologous origin.
- the monoclonal antibody may be instilled or infiltrated around the wound of individuals bitten by aminals and at risk of developing rabies. Moreover it may be administered intramuscularly in a single dose. These treatments can be followed by a complete course of vaccine, see WHO Technical Report Series.
- the monoclonal antibody is typically used at doses equivalent to those currently employed with rabies immune globulin of human origin, see WHO Technical Report Series.
- Monoclonal antibody of the invention may therefore be administered at doses of 0.4-1.6 mg/kg body weight which corresponds to 20-40 International Units (I.u.) of rabies immune globulin of human origin.
- the monoclonal antibodies of the present invention are particularly suited for use in i munoassays wherein they may be utilized in liquid phase or bound to a solid phase carrier.

- Any sample, obtained from an infected animal or human, containing the detectable yet unknown amount of the virus can be used.
- the sample is a liquid, such as, for example, the saliva of an infected animal, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, serum, urine and the like, or a solid or semi-solid, such as, for example, tissue, feces and the like.

- a similar kit may be prepared comprising compartmentalized carrier means having one or more container means comprising separate elements suitable for therapeutic use according to the present invention.
- immunoassays which can be used or incorporated in kit form are many. Typical examples of some of the immunoassays which can utilize the antibodies of the invention are competitive assays and immunometric, or sandwich, immunoassays.
- immunometric assay or "sandwich immunoassay” it is meant to include simultaneous sandwich, forward sandwich and reverse sandwich immunoassays. These terms are well understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Those of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that the monoclonal antibody of the present invention may be useful in other variations and forms of immunoassays which are presently known or which may be developed in the future. These are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
- a sample is first incubated with a solid phase immunoabsorbent containing monoclonal antibody(ies) against the rabies antigen. Incubation is continued for a period of time sufficient to allow the antigen in the sample to bind to the immobilized antibody in the solid phase. After the first incubation, the solid phase immunoabsorbent is separated from the incubation mixture and washed to remove excess antigen and other interfering substances, such as non-specific binding proteins, which also may be present in the sample. Solid phase immunoabsorbent containing rabies antigen bound to the immobilized antibody is subsequently incubated for a second time with soluble labelled antibody or antibodies.
- the process comprises, in more detail:
- step (b) adding to the mixture after said incubation of step (a) the detectably labelled antibody or antibodies and incubating the new resulting mixture for a time and under conditions sufficient to allow the labelled antibody to bind to the solid phase immunoabsorbent;
- step (c) separating the solid phase immunoabsorbent from the mixture after the incubation in step (b) ;
- a reverse sandwich assay the sample is initially incubated with labelled antibody(ies) , after which the solid phase immunoabsorbent containing multiple immobilized antibodies is added thereto, and a second incubation is carried out.
- the initial washing step of a forward sandwich assay is not required, although a wash is performed after the second incubation.
- Reverse sandwich assays have been described, for example, in United States Patents 4,098,876 and 4,376,110.
- the process comprises, in more detail:
- step (b) adding to the mixture after the incubation of step (a) the solid phase bound antibodies and incubating the new resulting mixture for a time and under conditions sufficient to allow antigen bound to the labelled antibody to bind to the solid phase antibodies;
- step (c) separating the solid phase immunoabsorbent from the incubating mixture after the incubation in step (b); and (d) detecting either the labelled antibody bound to the solid phase immunoabsorbent or detecting the labelled antibody not associated therewith.
- a simultaneous sandwich assay the sample, the immunoabsorbent having multiple immobilized antibodies thereon and labelled soluble antibody or antibodies are incubated simultaneously in one incubation step.
- the simultaneous assay requires only a single incubation and has a lack of washing steps.
- the use of a simultaneous assay is by far the preferred method. This type of assay brings about ease of handling, homogeneity, reproducibility, linearity of the assays and high precision.
- the sample containing antigen, solid phase immunoabsorbent with immobilized antibodies and labelled soluble antibody or antibodies is incubated under conditions and for a period of time sufficient to allow antigen to bind to the immobilized antibodies and to the soluble antibody(ies) .
- Typical conditions of time and temperature are two hours at 45°C, or twelve hours at 37°C.
- Antigen typically binds to labelled antibody more rapidly than to immobilized antibody, since the former is in solution whereas the latter is bound to the solid phase support. Because of this, labelled antibody may be employed in a lower concentration than immobilized antibody, and it is also preferable to employ a high specific activity for the labelled antibody. For example, labelled antibody might be employed at -a concentration of about 1-50 ng/per assay, whereas immobilized antibody might have a concentration of 10-500 ng/per assay per antibody. Where radiolabelled, the antibody might have a specific activity with, for instance, one radioiodine per molecule, or as high as two or more radioiodines per molecule of antibody.
- the process comprises, in more detail:
- step (a) simultaneously forming a mixture comprising the sample, together with the solid phase bound antibody and the soluble labelled antibody or antibodies;
- step (b) ' incubating the mixture formed in step (a) for a time and under conditions sufficient to allow antigen in the sample to bind to both immobilized and labelled antibodies;
- step (c) separating the solid phase immunoabsorbent from the incubation mixture after the incubation; and .
- concentrations of labelled and immobilized antibodies, the temperature and time of incubation as well as other assay conditions can be varied, depending on various factors including the concentration of antigen in the sample, the nature of the sample, and the like. Those skilled in the art will be a ⁇ ?le to determine operative and optimal assay conditions for each determination by employing routine experimentation.
- the solid phase immunoabsorbent is removed from the incubation mixture.
- This can be accomplished by any of the .known separation techniques, such as sedimentation and centrifugation.
- Detection can be performed by a scintillation counter, for example, if the label is a radioactive gamma-emitter, or by a fluorometer, for example, if the label is a fluorescent material.
- the detection can be accomplished by colorimetric methods which employ a substrate for the enzyme.
- solid phase immunoabsorbents There are many solid phase immunoabsorbents which have been employed and which can be used in the present invention.
- Well known immunoabsorbents include beads formed from glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, dextran, nylon and other materials; tubes formed from or coated with such materials and the like.
- the immobilized antibodies can be either covalently or physically bound to the solid phase immunoabsorbent, by techniques such as covalent bonding via an amide or ester linkages, or by absorption.
- suitable solid phase immunoabsorbents and methods for immobilizing antibodies thereon or will be able to ascertain such, using no more than routine experimentation.
