Definitions
- the present invention relates to an isotype G antibody directed against an autoantigen, preferably against the native myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), comprising:
- composition containing such an antibody, and to its uses in therapy, particularly in the prevention and / or treatment of multiple sclerosis.
- T and B lymphocytes are common to all autoimmune diseases, and leads to deleterious cellular and humoral inflammatory responses. Because of the presence of T cell and B cell receptors, these responses are antigen specific, which, in the case of autoimmunity, imposes targeted aggression on tissue-derived autoantigens. In fact, the antibodies and T cells isolated from the lesions react easily to the autoantigens present in the inflamed tissue.
- organ-specific autoimmune diseases are currently based on palliative approaches aimed at depleting immune cells, blocking their migration to tissue lesions, neutralizing effector cytokines, or the administration of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG). ).
- IVIG intravenous immunoglobulins
- MS Organ-specific autoimmune diseases include multiple sclerosis (MS).
- MS is a disease of the central nervous system (CNS).
- the CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.
- the central nervous system is mainly composed of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes responsible for myelination, and neurons, each of which consists of a cell body and an extension (axon), surrounded by a myelin sheath. .
- This myelin sheath is used to isolate and protect nerve fibers, and also plays a role in the speed of propagation of nerve impulses carrying information along neurons.
- MS is characterized by focal lesions in the white matter in both the brain and the spinal cord.
- Pathological markers of the disease include demyelination, oligodendrocyte apoptosis, axonal scarring and finally neuronal loss. This tissue damage is caused by inflammation, as shown by the infiltration of lymphocytes and myeloid cells into the lesions. This physiopathology leads to a difficulty of conduction of nerve impulses within the axons, which causes motor, sensory and cognitive disturbances. In the more or less long term, these disorders can progress to irreversible disability.
- MS begins with a recurrence-remission phase, during which periods of active clinical deficits are followed by prolonged periods of remission.
- the inflammation disappears and repair mechanisms (remyelination) allow the patient to find a correct nerve conduction.
- repair mechanisms remyelination
- the mechanisms of remyelination are exceeded, and irreversible nerve impulse conduction disorders are established with corresponding neurological signs.
- MS is considered an autoimmune disease.
- the immune system attacks antigenic CNS targets, including myelin. All the components of the immune response participate: lymphocytes, myeloid cells, but also cytokines synthesized and released by the immune cells that sometimes favor the attack, sometimes moderate it.
- the immune response in MS is not static, it is composite and evolves over time, both in terms of antigenic specificity and in pathogenic mechanisms.
- the background treatments of MS used today act either directly on lymphocytes, either by depletion or by inhibiting their migration to the CNS, to limit the importance of inflammatory attack.
- autoimmune diseases including organ-specific autoimmune diseases.

- the nucleic sequence (polynucleotide or nucleotide sequence) encoding the IgG heavy chain comprises a Fc fragment having a mutation.
- the nucleic acid coding sequence for the IgG heavy chain can be synthesized chemically (Young L and Dong, 2004, Nucleic Acids Res., Apr. 15, 32 (7), Hoover, DM and Lubkowski, J. 2002). , Nucleic Acids Res., 30, Villalobos A, et al., 2006. BMC Bioinformatics, Jun 6; 7: 285).

- nucleic sequence SEQ ID NO: 27 (coding for the heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 19).
- nucleic sequence provided in i) (polynucleotide), which encodes the parent polypeptide, is then modified to obtain a nucleic sequence encoding the variant.
- This step is the actual mutation stage. It can be carried out by any method known from the prior art, in particular by directed mutagenesis.
- amino acid substitutions and deletions are made by site-directed mutagenesis, using the assembly PCR technique using oligonucleotides corresponding to the inserted modifications (see, for example, Zoller and Smith, 1982, Nucl Acids Res. : 6487-6500, Kunkel, 1985, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 82: 488).
- step ii) a nucleic sequence coding for an IgG light chain is provided, said light chain comprising in the variable domain, the 3 binding CDRs of the same autoantigen as that targeted in i).
- nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 28 (encoding the light chain SEQ ID NO: 20) can be used.
- step iii) the nucleic sequences obtained in i) and ii) are expressed in a host cell, and the antibody thus obtained is recovered.
- nucleic sequences obtained in i) and ii) can be inserted into a bicistronic vector.

- the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and light chains may also comprise optimized codons, in particular for its expression in certain cells (step iii)). Codon optimization aims to replace natural codons by codons whose transfer RNA (tRNA) carrying the amino acids are most common in the cell type considered. The mobilization of frequently encountered tRNAs has the major advantage of increasing the translation speed of the messenger RNAs (mRNA) and therefore of increasing the final titre (JM Carton et al., Protein Expr Purif, 2007). Codon optimization also plays on the prediction of mRNA secondary structures that could slow down reading by the ribosomal complex. Codon optimization also has an impact on the percentage of G / C that is directly related to the half-life of the mRNAs and therefore to their translation potential (Chechetkin, J. of Theoretical Biology 242, 2006 922-934).
- Codon optimization can be done by substitution of natural codons using codon frequency (codon reading table) codons for mammals and more particularly for Homo sapiens.

- the crystallized structure of the Fab 8-18C5 fragment is available in PDB (Protein Data Bank) under accession number 1 PKQ.
- PDB Protein Data Bank
- the inventors have chosen a consensus sequence of a murine IgG1 (Mus musculus, IGHG1 * 01) listed in the IMGT online database (Immunogenetics).
- Sequences corresponding to the heavy and light chains were synthesized in vitro and cloned into separate pCDNA3 vectors (eg, Geneart). Both sequences were then subcloned into a single mammalian bicistronic vector, allowing the production of murine mAb 8-18C5 (8-18C5-WT).
- the inventors have created a deletion homologous to the human E294Del deletion (the numbering being that of the EU index or equivalent in Kabat): they have deleted the glutamic acid at position 171 of SEQ ID NO: 18 (constant region) of Recombinant mAb 8-18C5 to obtain the 8-18C5-Del variant.
- Recombinant murine 8-18C5 murine antibody 8-18C5-WT was produced in HEK cells.
- the recombinant 8-18C5 murine 8-18C5-WT and 8-18C5-Del variant murine antibodies were produced in YB2 / 0 cells to optimize the level of sialylation (50-90%).
- the YB2 / 0 cell line makes it possible to obtain an 8-18C5-Del variant, with a very high level of sialylation.
- the 8-18C5-WT and 8-18C5-Del antibodies were purified on protein G and characterized by SDS-PAGE and SEC, for validate their purity (> 97%) and their integrity (aggregated rates ⁇ 2%).
- the binding of 8-18C5-WT and 8-18C5-Del antibodies to FcRn was measured by standard ELISA.
- Maxisorp immunoplates were coated with recombinant human or murine FcRn proteins.
- the 8-18C5-WT or 8-18C5-Del antibody solutions were added to each well at different concentrations (from 5ng / mL to 0.5pg / mL) and incubated. for 1 h 30 at 37 ° C.
- F (ab ') 2 goat anti-human HRP IgG (or anti-mouse) were then incubated in a 1/2500 th for 1 h30 at 37 ° C.
- the ELISA plates were then revealed with TMB (Pierce) and the absorbances read at 450 nm.
- FCYRS human or murine
- Table 1 Preliminary characterization of the 8-18C5-WT and 8-18C5-Del antibodies. Bonds were evaluated by ELISA on rMOG, and on FcRs of type I and FcRn murine. Since the murine IgGI isotype does not bind FcyRIA (CD64) and FcyRIV, this indicates that the 8-18C5-Del variant no longer binds any of the murine type I Fc (FcRs) receptors.
- the increase in sialylation induced by the introduction of the "Del" mutation was confirmed by Western Blot using a lectin (SNA) specific for sialic acid in A2,6 (FIG. 4). For this, after the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis step, the antibodies were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and then subjected to an SNA Western Blot: the conditions were as follows:
- An intact blood-brain barrier prevents the infiltration of antibodies into the CNS parenchyma. It is therefore essential to induce mild autoimmune inflammation in the CNS to "prime” the tissue. This allows the antibodies to enter the parenchyma and exert their immune function.
- the experimental model of choice is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ("Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis” or EAE), a disabling inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Since its description in 1933, it has served as a prototypical model of hypersensitivity (especially type IV) and preclinical model of multiple sclerosis (MS) in which most of the current disease-modifying treatments have been validated.
- EAE Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
- MS preclinical model of multiple sclerosis
- the most common form is active IAAE, in which a demyelinating disease is induced by immunization with the 35-55 linear peptide of the MOG protein in C57BI / 6 mice (Ramadan A, Lucca LE, Carrie N, Desbois S, Axisa PP).
- the mAb 8-18C5 is specific for a conformational epitope of MOG (Breitmaschine C, Schafer B, Pellkofer H, Huber R, Linington C, Jacob U. Demyelinating myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-specific autoantibody response is focused on one dominant conformational epitope region.
- MAb 8-18C5 does not recognize the linear MOG35-55 peptide used for immunization, and only interacts with the intact native MOG protein present in the CNS.
- the immune-mediated effects induced by mAb 8-18C5 are therefore a consequence of locally native MOG binding within inflammatory lesions.
- each antibody was injected at a single dose of 50 ⁇ g / mouse.
- This dose of 2.5 mg / kg of the 8-18C5 antibody is deliberately lower than the dose of IglV to treat the same disease (4 g / kg in total: 4 x 1 g / kg).
- mice treated with the 8-18C5-WT (WT) antibody showed an aggravated EAE, which caused the death of all these mice 5-6 days after injection ( Figure 1B).
- the 8-18C5-Del variant provides the opposite result: this variant not only lost its inherent pathogenicity (in this case, the severity of the disease would have been similar to that of PBS-treated mice), but it attenuated the severity of the disease. None of the mice treated with the 8-18C5-Del variant died, compared to 2 out of 4 mice for PBS ( Figure 1B), the severity of I ⁇ AE stagnant at a clinical score of 2 which reflects a delay in lightening . The most severe stages of paralysis (> 3) have never been reached (Figure 1 A).
- the induction of moderate I ⁇ AE is carried out in C57BI / 6 mice by immunization with 100 ⁇ g of MOG35-55 in CFA (complete Freund's adjuvant) containing 100 ⁇ g of inactivated mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RA, followed by 2 injections of pertussis toxin at day 0 ( 200ng) and day 2 (200ng).
- CFA complete Freund's adjuvant
- pertussis toxin at day 0 ( 200ng) and day 2 (200ng).
- mice treated with the antibody 8-18C5-WT showed an aggravated EAE, which caused the death of 38% of the mice approximately 15 days after immunization ( Figure 5B and Table 2)
- the 8-18C5-Del (Del) variant lost its inherent pathogenicity (in this case, the severity of the disease would have been similar to that of the PBS-treated mice) and attenuated the severity of the disease.
- the severity of I ⁇ AE stagnates at a score of 2 and the most severe stages of paralysis are never achieved (Figure 5A).
- Table 2 Effects of treatments with PBS, 8-18C5WT 5YB2) and 8-18C5Del (Del) on mouse mortality and clinical recovery.
- the 8-18C5-Del variant enhances I ⁇ AE at a single dose, which is 400-fold lower than IgG, and 40-fold lower than recombinant sialyl variant F241A (described in Fiebiger BM, Maamary J, Pincetic A, Ravetch JV Protection in antibody and cell mediated autoimmune diseases by antiinflammatory IgG Fcs requires type II FcRs Proc Natl Acad Soi USA (2015) 12: E2385-E2394). The critical difference between these parameters is that the 8-18C5 antibody recognizes an autoantigen related to the disease.
- the inventors isolated the mononuclear cells infiltrating the brain using a Percoll gradient, and analyzed the cellular composition of the immune infiltrate by flow cytometry.
- the human scFv library (MG-UmAb) was expressed on the surface of bacteriophage M13 using standard procedures (Smith GP, Science 228: 1315 (1985)).
- E. coli XL1 -Blue bacteria containing the library to be expressed cloned into the vector pMG72, were cultured in 60 ml of 2YT medium supplemented with 100 ⁇ g / ml ampicillin, 15 ⁇ g / ml tetracycline and 1% (pg / ml).
- the phages were precipitated with PEG6000 using standard protocols, resuspended in 1 ml PBS buffer pH 7.4 and titrated by infecting XL1-Blue cells.
- phages-scFv diluted in PBS / 4% skim milk / 0.1% Tween 20 were incubated in 8 wells of Maxisorp plates (1 -2x10 11 phage / well in 100mI final) prior coated with the recombinant human protein MOG or Biotinylated MOG (on streptavidin plate) and blocked with 4% skimmed milk in PBS. After incubation for 2 hours at 37 ° C, the wells were washed 10 times with PBS / 0.1% Tween 20 and 2 times with PBS.
- the selected phages were then eluted by infection with XL1 -Blue bacteria in the exponential growth phase (2x150 ⁇ l / well, 20 min at 37 ° C without shaking). Infected bacteria were then plated on 2YT / ampicillin / glucose solid media. The next day, the cells were resuspended in 2YT medium with 15% glycerol, frozen and stored at -80 ° C until the next round of selection.
- phages were first incubated with biotinylated human MOG recombinant protein for 1 hour at room temperature with gentle shaking. Streptavidin-coated magnetic beads (Dynal) previously blocked with 4% skim milk in PBS were then added to the phages for 30 minutes at room temperature. The phage-bead complexes were washed 10 times with PBS / 0.1% Tween 20 and 2 times with PBS using a magnet. The phage-bead complexes were then used to infect 5 ml of exponentially growing XL1-Blue bacteria, which were plated on 2YT / ampicillin / glucose solid media.
- the binding characteristics of the scFvs expressed on the surface of isolated phages during screening were determined using an ELISA assay using the recombinant MOG (R & D System) protein.
- MOG R & D System
- the scFv-8-18C5 phage is expressed to serve as a positive control of the ELISA.
- scFv-phage were produced as isolated clones on a 96-well plate in 800 mI of 2YT / ampicillin / glucose cultures infected with helper phage M13K07 (as previously described). Phage produced overnight at 26 ° C were then recovered from the supernatants after 30 minutes of centrifugation at 3000g.
- the generated clones described above have a ratio greater than the ratio of the positive control 8-18C5; they therefore bind better to the MOG protein.
- the inventors isolated the mononuclear cells infiltrating the brain using a Percoll gradient, and analyzed the cellular composition of the immune infiltrate by flow cytometry.
- the amplitude of the responses of regulatory (Foxp3 +) and pathogenic (Th 1 / Th 17) T lymphocytes can be determined to formally show whether, in 8-18C5-Del treated mice, the contraction of the pathogenic response is correlated with the expansion of a response of regulatory T cells.
- MHC tetramers and T cells express a transgenic TCR specific for MOG35-55, the specificity of the regulatory and pathogenic T cell response can be established.
- the objective is to establish the central role of MOG autoantigen in mediating the therapeutic effect of monoclonal antibody 8-18C5.
- the m8-18C5-Del variant (not bound to type I receptors) will bind to type II FcRs that include, inter alia, the CD209 receptor of type C (SIGN-R1) and CD23.
- SIGN-R1 the CD209 receptor of type C
- CD23 the CD209 receptor of type C
- 8-18C5-Del and 8-18C5-WT are labeled with distinct fluorochromes, and flow cytometric cells infiltrating the brain that bind either or both antibodies are analyzed by flow cytometry.
- the profile of the type I or II Fc receptor on immune cells invading the brain is established using a flow cytometry approach.
- these approaches are performed at day 16 after immunization, by isolating the mononuclear cells infiltrating the brain using a Percoll gradient.
- the tolerogenic subsets are co-cultured with transgenic TCR T cells to demonstrate that the presentation of the MOG antigen results in the expansion of the regulatory T cells.
- neutralizing antibody approaches are used in vivo to delay the induction or function of the cells involved.
