Description

靶向CD8之經修飾IL-2多肽及其用途Modified IL-2 polypeptides targeting CD8 and uses thereof

本發明係關於靶向CD8之經修飾IL-2多肽及使用此類多肽調節CD8+細胞之生物活性的方法。該等方法包括但不限於治療癌症之方法。在一些實施例中,靶向CD8之經修飾IL-2多肽為包含CD8結合多肽及經修飾IL-2的融合多肽。The present invention relates to modified IL-2 polypeptides targeting CD8 and methods of using such polypeptides to modulate the biological activity of CD8+ cells. Such methods include, but are not limited to, methods of treating cancer. In some embodiments, a modified IL-2 polypeptide targeting CD8 is a fusion polypeptide comprising a CD8 binding polypeptide and modified IL-2.

CD8為跨膜醣蛋白,其表現於細胞毒性T細胞(CD8+ T細胞)以及淋巴系統之其他細胞(包括自然殺手細胞、γδ T細胞、皮質胸腺細胞及樹突狀細胞亞群)之表面上。CD8通常為由CD8α鏈及CD8β鏈構成之雜二聚體,但在一些情況下可以CD8α均二聚體形式存在。在細胞毒性T細胞上,CD8充當T細胞受體(TCR)之共受體以增強抗原識別及T細胞活化。細胞毒性T細胞活化係藉由TCR與結合至I類主要組織相容複合體(MHC)蛋白質之肽抗原的相互作用來支配。CD8經由結合至I類MHC蛋白之恆定區來幫助使TCR/肽-MHC相互作用穩定。CD8亦藉由將Lck募集至CD8α之細胞質域來增強TCR信號傳導,從而產生放大T細胞活化信號之級聯。CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ T cells) and other cells of the lymphatic system (including natural killer cells, γδ T cells, cortical thymocytes and dendritic cell subsets). CD8 is usually a heterodimer composed of CD8α chain and CD8β chain, but in some cases it can exist as a CD8α homodimer. On cytotoxic T cells, CD8 serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR) to enhance antigen recognition and T cell activation. Cytotoxic T cell activation is governed by the interaction of the TCR with peptide antigens bound to class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. CD8 helps stabilize TCR/peptide-MHC interactions by binding to the constant regions of class I MHC proteins. CD8 also enhances TCR signaling by recruiting Lck to the cytoplasmic domain of CD8α, thereby creating a cascade that amplifies T cell activation signals.

T細胞之活化亦受其他分子控制,該等其他分子包括由活化T細胞自身合成及分泌的細胞介素介白素-2 (IL-2)。IL-2被發現為T細胞生長因子,係一種多效性細胞介素,調節輔助T細胞之分化,加強自然殺手細胞之溶胞活性且調節CD8+ T細胞產生。IL-2結合至由T細胞表面上之三個次單元(IL-2α、IL-2β及γc)構成之高親和性受體。經由IL-2受體複合物之信號傳導觸發T細胞經由細胞分裂進行,驅動活化T細胞之純系擴增。IL-2即使在低濃度下亦具有強效作用,因此其產生受精確控制且需要經由TCR/共受體(CD8)複合物遞送之信號及經由CD28遞送之共刺激信號。Activation of T cells is also controlled by other molecules, including the interleukin-2 (IL-2) synthesized and secreted by the activated T cells themselves. IL-2 was discovered as a T cell growth factor, a pleiotropic interleukin that regulates the differentiation of helper T cells, enhances the lytic activity of natural killer cells and regulates the production of CD8+ T cells. IL-2 binds to a high-affinity receptor composed of three subunits (IL-2α, IL-2β, and γc) on the surface of T cells. Signaling through the IL-2 receptor complex triggers T cells to proceed through cell division, driving the homologous expansion of activated T cells. IL-2 is potent even at low concentrations, so its production is precisely controlled and requires signaling via the TCR/co-receptor (CD8) complex and costimulatory signaling via CD28.

因此,使IL-2靶向細胞毒性CD8+ T細胞可提高細胞毒性T細胞反應之效能及選擇性,且存在對靶向CD8之經修飾IL-2多肽之需求。Therefore, targeting IL-2 to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells may increase the potency and selectivity of cytotoxic T cell responses, and a need exists for modified IL-2 polypeptides that target CD8.

術語「特異性結合」至抗原或抗原決定基係此項技術中充分瞭解之術語,且用於測定此特異性結合之方法亦為此項技術中所熟知。若分子與特定細胞或物質之反應或締合比其與替代性細胞或物質更頻繁、更快速,持續時間更長及/或親和力更大,則稱其呈現「特異性結合」或「較佳結合」。若單域抗體(sdAb)或含VHH多肽與目標之結合比其與其他物質之結合親和力、親合力更大、更容易及/或持續時間更長,則其「特異性結合」或「優先結合」於目標。舉例而言,特異性或優先結合至CD8抗原決定基之sdAb或含VHH多肽為與此抗原決定基之結合比其與其他CD8抗原決定基或非CD8抗原決定基之結合親和力、親合力更大、更容易及/或持續時間更長的sdAb或含VHH多肽。藉由閱讀此定義,亦應理解,例如特異性或優先結合至第一目標之sdAb或含VHH多肽可能或可能不特異性或優先結合至第二目標。因此,「特異性結合」或「優先結合」未必需要(儘管其可包括)獨佔式結合。一般而言,但不一定,提及結合意謂優先結合。「特異性」係指結合蛋白選擇性結合抗原之能力。The term "specific binding" to an antigen or epitope is a term well understood in the art, and methods for determining such specific binding are also well known in the art. A molecule is said to exhibit "specific binding" or "better binding" if it reacts or associates with a specific cell or substance more frequently, more rapidly, for a longer period of time, and/or with greater affinity than with an alternative cell or substance. combination". A single domain antibody (sdAb) or VHH-containing polypeptide "binds specifically" or "binds preferentially" if it binds to a target with greater affinity, avidity, easier and/or longer duration than with other substances. ” at the target. For example, an sdAb or VHH-containing polypeptide that specifically or preferentially binds to a CD8 epitope binds to this epitope with greater affinity or avidity than to other CD8 epitopes or non-CD8 epitopes. , easier and/or longer lasting sdAb or VHH-containing peptides. By reading this definition, it will also be understood that, for example, an sdAb or VHH-containing polypeptide that specifically or preferentially binds to a first target may or may not specifically or preferentially bind to a second target. Thus, "specific binding" or "preferential binding" does not necessarily require (although it may include) exclusive binding. Generally, but not necessarily, reference to union means preferential union. "Specificity" refers to the ability of a binding protein to selectively bind to an antigen.

術語「抑制(inhibition)」或「抑制(inhibit)」係指任何表型特徵減少或停止,或彼特徵之發生率、程度或可能性降低或停止。「降低」或「抑制」係使活性、功能及/或量相較於參考物減小、降低或停滯。在一些實施例中,「降低」或「抑制」意謂整體減少10%或更多之能力。在一些實施例中,「降低」或「抑制」意謂整體減少50%或更多之能力。在一些實施例中,「減小」或「抑制」意謂能夠引起總體減少75%、85%、90%、95%或更大。在一些實施例中,一段時間內上文所提及之量相對於同一段時間內之對照而言受到抑制或減少。The term "inhibition" or "inhibit" refers to the reduction or cessation of any phenotypic characteristic, or the reduction or cessation of the occurrence, extent, or likelihood of that characteristic. "Reducing" or "inhibiting" means reducing, reducing or stagnating activity, function and/or quantity compared to a reference. In some embodiments, "reducing" or "inhibiting" means an overall reduction in ability by 10% or more. In some embodiments, "reducing" or "inhibiting" means an overall reduction of capability by 50% or more. In some embodiments, "reduce" or "inhibit" means capable of causing an overall reduction of 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or greater. In some embodiments, the amounts noted above are inhibited or reduced over a period of time relative to a control over the same period of time.

如本文所用,術語「直接抑制」及類似術語係指其中增加的抗體濃度導致抑制增加的抑制特徵。在一些實施例中,在特定濃度之後,達至最大抑制且抑制概況平穩。最大抑制無需為100%抑制,但可為至少50%、55%、60%、65%、70%、75%、80%、85%或90%。As used herein, the term "direct inhibition" and similar terms refer to inhibitory characteristics in which increasing antibody concentration results in increased inhibition. In some embodiments, after a specific concentration, maximum inhibition is achieved and the inhibition profile plateaus. Maximum inhibition need not be 100% inhibition, but may be at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85% or 90%.

如本文所用,術語「抗原決定基」係指抗原結合分子(例如sdAb或含VHH多肽)在目標分子(例如抗原,諸如蛋白質、核酸、碳水化合物或脂質)上結合之位點。抗原決定基常常包括一組表面具有化學活性之分子,諸如胺基酸、多肽或糖側鏈,且具有特定三維結構特徵以及荷質比特徵。抗原決定基可由目標分子之相鄰及/或併接非相鄰殘基(例如,胺基酸、核苷酸、糖、脂質部分)形成。由相鄰殘基(例如,胺基酸、核苷酸、糖、脂質部分)形成之抗原決定基通常在暴露於變性溶劑時得以保留,而藉由三級摺疊形成之抗原決定基通常在經變性溶劑處理時丟失。抗原決定基可包括但不限於至少3個、至少5個或8至10個殘基(例如,胺基酸或核苷酸)。在一些實施例中,抗原決定基之長度小於20個殘基(例如,胺基酸或核苷酸)、小於15個殘基或小於12個殘基。若兩個抗體對一抗原展現競爭性結合,則其可結合該抗原內之同一個抗原決定基。在一些實施例中,可根據相對於抗原結合分子上之CDR殘基的某一最小距離鑑別抗原決定基。在一些實施例中,抗原決定基可藉由以上距離鑑別,且進一步受限於抗原結合分子之殘基與抗原殘基之間的一鍵(例如,氫鍵)所涉及之彼等殘基。抗原決定基亦可藉由各種掃描來鑑別,例如丙胺酸或精胺酸掃描可指示可與抗原結合分子相互作用之一或多個殘基。除非明確表示,否則作為抗原決定基之一組殘基不排除其他殘基作為特定抗原結合分子之抗原決定基的一部分。實際上,此類集合之存在表示最小的抗原決定基系列(或物種集合)。因此,在一些實施例中,鑑別為抗原決定基之殘基集合表示該抗原之最小相關抗原決定基,而非抗原上之抗原決定基的排他性殘基清單。As used herein, the term "epitope" refers to the site on a target molecule (eg, an antigen, such as a protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, or lipid) that an antigen-binding molecule (eg, an sdAb or VHH-containing polypeptide) binds. Epitopes often include a group of molecules with chemically active surfaces, such as amino acids, polypeptides or sugar side chains, and have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics and charge-to-mass ratio characteristics. Epitopes may be formed from adjacent and/or conjoined non-adjacent residues (eg, amino acids, nucleotides, sugars, lipid moieties) of the target molecule. Epitopes formed from adjacent residues (e.g., amino acids, nucleotides, sugars, lipid moieties) are generally retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding are generally retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents. Lost during processing with denaturing solvents. Epitopes may include, but are not limited to, at least 3, at least 5, or 8 to 10 residues (eg, amino acids or nucleotides). In some embodiments, the epitope is less than 20 residues (eg, amino acids or nucleotides), less than 15 residues, or less than 12 residues in length. If two antibodies exhibit competitive binding to an antigen, they can bind to the same epitope within the antigen. In some embodiments, epitopes can be identified based on a certain minimum distance relative to CDR residues on the antigen-binding molecule. In some embodiments, epitopes can be identified by the above distances and are further limited to those residues involved in a bond (eg, a hydrogen bond) between the residues of the antigen-binding molecule and the residues of the antigen. Epitopes can also be identified by various scans, for example alanine or arginine scans may indicate one or more residues that may interact with the antigen-binding molecule. Unless expressly stated, reference to a group of residues as an epitope does not exclude other residues from being part of the epitope of a particular antigen-binding molecule. In fact, the existence of such a collection represents a minimal epitope series (or collection of species). Thus, in some embodiments, the set of residues identified as epitopes represents the minimal relevant epitopes of the antigen, rather than an exclusive list of residues for epitopes on the antigen.

「非線性抗原決定基」或「構形抗原決定基」包含在對抗原決定基具有特異性之抗原結合分子所結合之抗原蛋白質內的非相鄰多肽、胺基酸及/或糖。在一些實施例中,至少一個殘基將與抗原決定基之其他所指出之殘基不相鄰;然而,一或多個殘基亦可與其他殘基相鄰。"Nonlinear epitopes" or "configurational epitopes" include non-contiguous polypeptides, amino acids and/or sugars within the antigenic protein bound by an antigen-binding molecule specific for the epitope. In some embodiments, at least one residue will not be adjacent to other indicated residues of the epitope; however, one or more residues may also be adjacent to other residues.

「線性抗原決定基」包含在對抗原決定基具有特異性之抗原結合分子所結合之抗原蛋白質內的相鄰多肽、胺基酸及/或糖。應注意,在一些實施例中,並非線性抗原決定基內之每一個殘基均需要與抗原結合分子直接結合(或與鍵相關)。在一些實施例中,線性抗原決定基可來自用有效地由線性抗原決定基之序列組成之肽免疫,或來自蛋白質中與蛋白質之其餘部分相對分離之結構部分(使得抗原結合分子可至少首先與彼序列部分相互作用)。"Linear epitopes" include contiguous polypeptides, amino acids and/or sugars within the antigenic protein bound by an antigen-binding molecule specific for the epitope. It should be noted that in some embodiments, not every residue within a linear epitope is required to directly bind (or be associated with a bond) to an antigen-binding molecule. In some embodiments, the linear epitope may result from immunization with a peptide that effectively consists of the sequence of the linear epitope, or from a structural portion of the protein that is relatively isolated from the rest of the protein (such that the antigen-binding molecule can at least first bind to The sequence partially interacts).

術語「抗體」以最廣泛意義使用且涵蓋包含抗體樣抗原結合域之各種多肽,包括但不限於習知抗體(通常包含至少一條重鏈及至少一條輕鏈)、單域抗體(sdAb,包含至少一個VHH域及Fc區)、含VHH多肽(包含至少一個VHH域之多肽)及前述中之任一者之片段,只要其展現所需抗原結合活性即可。在一些實施例中,抗體包含二聚域。此等二聚域包括但不限於重鏈恆定域(包含CH1、鉸鏈、CH2及CH3,其中CH1通常與輕鏈恆定域CL配對,而鉸鏈介導二聚化)及Fc區(包含鉸鏈、CH2及CH3,其中鉸鏈介導二聚化)。The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various polypeptides containing antibody-like antigen-binding domains, including but not limited to conventional antibodies (usually containing at least one heavy chain and at least one light chain), single domain antibodies (sdAb, containing at least A VHH domain and an Fc region), a VHH-containing polypeptide (a polypeptide comprising at least one VHH domain), and fragments of any of the foregoing, so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a dimerization domain. Such dimerization domains include, but are not limited to, the heavy chain constant domain (comprising CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3, where CH1 typically pairs with the light chain constant domain CL, and the hinge mediates dimerization) and the Fc region (comprising hinge, CH2 and CH3, where the hinge mediates dimerization).

術語抗體亦包括但不限於嵌合抗體、人類化抗體及諸如駱駝(包括駱馬)、鯊魚、小鼠、人類、食蟹獼猴等各種物種之抗體。The term antibody also includes, but is not limited to, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and antibodies from various species such as camels (including llamas), sharks, mice, humans, macaques, and the like.

如本文所用,術語「抗原結合域」係指抗體足以結合抗原之一部分。在一些實施例中,習知抗體之抗原結合域包含三個重鏈CDR及三個輕鏈CDR。因此,在一些實施例中,抗原結合域包含:重鏈可變區,其包含CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3及維持與抗原結合所需的FR1及/或FR4之任何部分;及輕鏈可變區,其包含CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3及維持與抗原結合所需的FR1及/或FR4之任何部分。在一些實施例中,sdAb或含VHH多肽之抗原結合域包含VHH域之三個CDR。因此,在一些實施例中,sdAb或含VHH多肽之抗原結合域包含VHH域,該VHH域包含CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3及維持與抗原之結合所需的FR1及/或FR4之任何部分。As used herein, the term "antigen-binding domain" refers to a portion of an antibody sufficient to bind an antigen. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding domain of a conventional antibody includes three heavy chain CDRs and three light chain CDRs. Thus, in some embodiments, the antigen binding domain includes: a heavy chain variable region comprising CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3 and any portion of FR1 and/or FR4 required to maintain binding to the antigen; and a light chain Variable region, which includes CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3 and any part of FR1 and/or FR4 required to maintain binding to the antigen. In some embodiments, the sdAb or antigen-binding domain containing a VHH polypeptide comprises three CDRs of the VHH domain. Thus, in some embodiments, the sdAb or antigen-binding domain containing a VHH polypeptide comprises a VHH domain comprising CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3 and any of FR1 and/or FR4 required to maintain binding to the antigen. part.

如本文中所用之術語「VHH」或「VHH域」或「VHH抗原結合域」係指單域抗體之抗原結合部分,該單域抗體諸如駱駝抗體或鯊魚抗體。在一些實施例中,VHH包含三個CDR及四個構架區,稱為FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3及FR4。在一些實施例中,VHH可在N端或C端截短,使得其僅包含部分FR1及/或FR4,或缺乏彼等構架區中之一者或兩者,只要VHH實質上維持抗原結合及特異性即可。The term "VHH" or "VHH domain" or "VHH antigen-binding domain" as used herein refers to the antigen-binding portion of a single domain antibody, such as a camel antibody or a shark antibody. In some embodiments, a VHH contains three CDRs and four framework regions, designated FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. In some embodiments, the VHH can be truncated at the N- or C-terminus such that it contains only a portion of FR1 and/or FR4, or lacks one or both of these framework regions, as long as the VHH substantially maintains antigen binding and Specificity is enough.

術語「單域抗體」及「sdAb」在本文中可互換使用,指代包含至少一個無輕鏈單體域(諸如VHH域)及Fc區之抗體。在一些實施例中,sdAb為兩種多肽之二聚物,其中各多肽包含至少一個VHH域及Fc區。如本文所用,術語「單域抗體」及「sdAb」涵蓋包含多個VHH域之多肽,諸如具有結構VHH 1-VHH 2-Fc或VHH 1-VHH 2-VHH 3-Fc之多肽,其中VHH 1、VHH 2及VHH 3可相同或不同。 The terms "single domain antibody" and "sdAb" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody comprising at least one light chain-free monomer domain (such as a VHH domain) and an Fc region. In some embodiments, the sdAb is a dimer of two polypeptides, wherein each polypeptide includes at least one VHH domain and an Fc region. As used herein, the terms "single domain antibody" and "sdAb" encompass polypeptides comprising multiple VHH domains, such as polypeptides having the structure VHH 1 -VHH 2 -Fc or VHH 1 -VHH 2 -VHH 3 -Fc, where VHH 1 , VHH 2 and VHH 3 can be the same or different.

術語「含VHH多肽」係指包含至少一個VHH域之多肽。在一些實施例中,VHH多肽包含兩個、三個或四個或更多個VHH域,其中各VHH域可相同或不同。在一些實施例中,含VHH多肽包含Fc區。在一些此類實施例中,含VHH多肽可稱為sdAb。另外,在一些此類實施例中,VHH多肽可形成二聚體。含VHH多肽之非限制性結構(其亦為sdAb)包括VHH 1-Fc、VHH 1-VHH 2-Fc及VHH 1-VHH 2-VHH 3-Fc,其中VHH 1、VHH 2及VHH 3可相同或不同。在此類結構之一些實施例中,一個VHH可藉由連接子連接至另一VHH,或一個VHH可藉由連接子連接至Fc。在一些此類實施例中,連接子包含1-20個胺基酸,較佳為1-20個主要由甘胺酸且視情況由絲胺酸構成之胺基酸。在一些實施例中,連接子包含:Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 123)、Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO:124)及/或Gly-Gly-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO:125)。在一些實施例中,當含VHH多肽包含Fc時,其形成二聚體。因此,若結構VHH 1-VHH 2-Fc形成二聚體,則認為其為四價的(亦即,二聚體具有四個VHH域)。類似地,若結構VHH 1-VHH 2-VHH 3-Fc形成二聚體,則認為其為六價的(亦即,二聚體具有六個VHH域)。 The term "VHH-containing polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide comprising at least one VHH domain. In some embodiments, a VHH polypeptide contains two, three, or four or more VHH domains, where each VHH domain can be the same or different. In some embodiments, a VHH-containing polypeptide comprises an Fc region. In some such embodiments, the VHH-containing polypeptide may be referred to as an sdAb. Additionally, in some such embodiments, VHH polypeptides can form dimers. Non-limiting structures of VHH-containing polypeptides (which are also sdAbs) include VHH 1 -Fc, VHH 1 -VHH 2 -Fc, and VHH 1 -VHH 2 -VHH 3 -Fc, where VHH 1 , VHH 2 and VHH 3 can be the same Or different. In some embodiments of such structures, one VHH can be connected to another VHH via a linker, or one VHH can be connected to Fc via a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker contains 1-20 amino acids, preferably 1-20 amino acids consisting primarily of glycine and optionally serine. In some embodiments, the linker includes: Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 123), Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 124), and/or Gly-Gly- Ser-Ser-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 125). In some embodiments, when a VHH-containing polypeptide includes an Fc, it forms a dimer. Therefore, if the structure VHHi - VHH2 -Fc forms a dimer, it is considered tetravalent (ie, the dimer has four VHH domains). Similarly, the structure VHHi - VHH2 - VHH3 -Fc is considered to be hexavalent if it forms a dimer (ie, the dimer has six VHH domains).

術語「單株抗體」係指實質上均質之抗體群的抗體(包括sdAb或含VHH多肽),即,包含此群體之個別抗體除可能存在少量天然產生之突變以外均相同。單株抗體為高度特異性的,其針對單一抗原位點。此外,與典型地包括針對不同決定子(抗原決定基)之不同抗體的多株抗體製劑相反,各單株抗體針對抗原上之單個決定子。因此,單株抗體之樣品可結合於抗原上之同一抗原決定基。修飾語「單株」指示抗體之特徵為自實質上均質之抗體群獲得,且不應理解為需要藉由任何特定方法來產生該抗體。舉例而言,單株抗體可藉由Kohler及Milstein, 1975, Nature 256:495首次描述之融合瘤方法製造,或可藉由諸如美國專利第4,816,567號中所述之重組DNA方法製造。舉例而言,單株抗體亦可自使用McCafferty等人,1990, Nature 348:552-554中所描述之技術生成的噬菌體庫中分離。The term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a population of antibodies (including sdAbs or VHH-containing polypeptides) that are substantially homogeneous, that is, the individual antibodies comprising such a population are identical except for the possible presence of a small number of naturally occurring mutations. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, targeting a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (antigenic determinants), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen. Therefore, samples of monoclonal antibodies can bind to the same epitope on the antigen. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates that the antibody is characterized as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and should not be construed as requiring any particular method to produce the antibody. For example, monoclonal antibodies can be produced by the fusionoma method first described by Kohler and Milstein, 1975, Nature 256:495, or by recombinant DNA methods such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567. For example, monoclonal antibodies can also be isolated from phage libraries generated using techniques described in McCafferty et al., 1990, Nature 348:552-554.

術語「CDR」表示互補決定區,如由熟習此項技術者藉由至少一種鑑別方式所定義。在一些實施例中,CDR可根據Chothia編號方案、Kabat編號方案、Kabat與Chothia之組合、AbM定義及/或接觸定義中之任一者來定義。VHH包含三個CDR,稱為CDR1、CDR2及CDR3。在某些實施例中,CDR係根據AbM定義來定義。The term "CDR" means complementary determining region, as defined by one skilled in the art by at least one means of identification. In some embodiments, CDRs may be defined according to any of the Chothia numbering scheme, the Kabat numbering scheme, the combination of Kabat and Chothia, the AbM definition, and/or the contact definition. VHH contains three CDRs, called CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. In certain embodiments, the CDRs are defined according to the AbM definition.

如本文所用,術語「重鏈恆定區」係指包含至少三個重鏈恆定域C H1、鉸鏈、C H2及C H3之區域。當然,除非另外指示,否則此等域中之非功能改變性缺失及修改係涵蓋於術語「重鏈恆定區」之範疇內。非限制性例示性重鏈恆定區包括γ、δ及α。非限制性例示性重鏈恆定區亦包括ε及μ。各重鏈恆定區對應於一種抗體同型。舉例而言,包含γ恆定區之抗體為IgG抗體,包含δ恆定區之抗體為IgD抗體,且包含α恆定區之抗體為IgA抗體。此外,包含μ恆定區之抗體為IgM抗體,且包含ε恆定區之抗體為IgE抗體。某些同型可進一步再分為亞類。舉例而言,IgG抗體包括但不限於IgG1 (包含γ 1恆定區)、IgG2 (包含γ 2恆定區)、IgG3 (包含γ 3恆定區)及IgG4 (包含γ 4恆定區)抗體;IgA抗體包括但不限於IgA1 (包含α 1恆定區)及IgA2 (包含α 2恆定區)抗體;且IgM抗體包括但不限於IgM1及IgM2。 As used herein, the term "heavy chain constant region" refers to a region containing at least three heavy chain constant domains, CH1 , hinge, CH2 , and CH3 . Of course, unless otherwise indicated, non-functionally altering deletions and modifications in these domains are encompassed by the term "heavy chain constant region". Non-limiting exemplary heavy chain constant regions include gamma, delta, and alpha. Non-limiting exemplary heavy chain constant regions also include epsilon and mu. Each heavy chain constant region corresponds to an antibody isotype. For example, an antibody that includes a gamma constant region is an IgG antibody, an antibody that includes a delta constant region is an IgD antibody, and an antibody that includes an alpha constant region is an IgA antibody. Furthermore, antibodies containing the mu constant region are IgM antibodies, and antibodies containing the epsilon constant region are IgE antibodies. Certain isotypes can be further subdivided into subtypes. For example, IgG antibodies include, but are not limited to, IgG1 (comprising a γ 1 constant region), IgG2 (comprising a γ 2 constant region), IgG3 (comprising a γ 3 constant region), and IgG4 (comprising a γ 4 constant region) antibodies; IgA antibodies include But are not limited to IgA1 (comprising α 1 constant region) and IgA2 (comprising α 2 constant region) antibodies; and IgM antibodies include, but are not limited to, IgM1 and IgM2.

In some embodiments, the Fc region includes hinge, CH2, and CH3. In various embodiments, when the Fc region includes a hinge, the hinge mediates dimerization between two Fc-containing polypeptides. The Fc region can be of any antibody heavy chain constant region isotype discussed herein. In some embodiments, the Fc region is IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4. In some embodiments, when the Fc region includes a hinge, the hinge has the same isotype as the Fc region. In some embodiments, the IgG4 hinge contains the S228P stabilizing mutation.

如本文所論述,如本文所用之「受體人類構架」為包含源自人類免疫球蛋白構架或人類共同構架之重鏈可變域(V H)構架之胺基酸序列的構架。源自人類免疫球蛋白構架或人類共同構架之受體人類構架可包含與其相同之胺基酸序列,或其可含有胺基酸序列改變。在一些實施例中,跨單一抗原結合域(諸如VHH)中之所有人類構架,胺基酸改變之數目少於10,或少於9,或少於8,或少於7,或少於6,或少於5,或少於4,或少於3。 As discussed herein, an "acceptor human framework" as used herein is a framework comprising amino acid sequences derived from the heavy chain variable domain ( VH ) framework of the human immunoglobulin framework or the human consensus framework.

「親和力」係指分子(例如抗體,諸如sdAb,或含VHH多肽)之單一結合位點與其結合搭配物(例如抗原)之間的非共價相互作用之總和之強度。分子X對其搭配物Y之親和力或表觀親和力通常可分別由解離常數(K D)或K D - 表觀來表示。親和力可藉由此項技術中已知之常用方法(諸如ELISA K D、KinExA、流動式細胞測量術及/或表面電漿子共振裝置),包括本文所描述之彼等方法來量測。此類方法包括但不限於涉及BIAcore®、Octet®或流動式細胞測量術之方法。 "Affinity" refers to the strength of the sum of the non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (eg, an antibody, such as an sdAb, or a VHH-containing polypeptide) and its binding partner (eg, an antigen). The affinity or apparent affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be expressed by the dissociation constant (K D ) or K D -apparent , respectively. Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, such as ELISA KD , KinExA, flow cytometry, and/or surface plasmon resonance, including those described herein. Such methods include, but are not limited to, methods involving BIAcore®, Octet®, or flow cytometry.

如本文所用之術語「K D」係指抗原結合分子/抗原相互作用之平衡解離常數。當本文使用術語「K D」時,其包括K D及K D- 表觀The term " KD " as used herein refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant of the antigen-binding molecule/antigen interaction. When the term " KD " is used herein, it includes both KD and KD- apparent .

The fusion protein is dimeric and includes the VHH hzB7v15 or VHH hzB7v31 domain fused to the cleavage Fc region and modified IL-2 and the VHH hzB7v15 or VHH hzB7v31 domain fused to the cleavage Fc region. Therefore, the dimeric fusion protein contains two CD8a-binding VHH domains, two Fc regions and a modified IL-2. Modified IL-2 includes mutations T3A, H16A, E61R, P65R, D84Y, and C125S (SEQ ID NO: 78); or mutations T3A, H16A, P65R, D84S, and C125S (SEQ ID NO: 79).

Prepare a peptide dilution series in assay medium at 2× final concentration and add 100 µL per well. Add 100 µL of 50,000 cells to each well of a flat-bottom 96-well tissue culture-treated plate. The plate was incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37°C for 20 hours. Quanti-Blue solution was prepared following the manufacturer's instructions (resuspended in water and warmed to 37°C in water bath for 30 minutes). Centrifuge the assay plate briefly at 400 × g for 5 min. Transfer 100 µL of the supernatant to a new flat-bottomed 96-well tissue culture plate, add 100 µL/well of Quanti-Blue solution, and incubate in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C for 1-2 hours.

如圖6A中所示,在不表現CD8a之細胞上,包含經修飾IL-2之靶向CD8a之多肽展現比包含非靶向VHH域及野生型IL-2之多肽顯著較低的活性。如圖6B及圖6C中所示,在表現CD8a之細胞中,包含CD8a結合VHH及經修飾IL-2之多肽展現穩定的IL-2活性,類似於包含非靶向VHH域及野生型IL-2之多肽的活性。包含非靶向VHH域及經修飾IL-2之多肽在表現CD8a之報導細胞上展現顯著較低的活性。此等結果顯示IL-2活性可在較寬濃度範圍內特異性地靶向表現CD8a之細胞,其範圍在此報導分析中大致落在0.01至1 nM之間。 實例 5 由包含 CD8a 結合 VHH 經修飾 IL - 2 之多肽誘導的 T 細胞增殖 As shown in Figure 6A, CD8a-targeting polypeptides containing modified IL-2 exhibited significantly lower activity than polypeptides containing the non-targeting VHH domain and wild-type IL-2 on cells that did not express CD8a. As shown in Figures 6B and 6C, in cells expressing CD8a, peptides containing CD8a-binding VHH and modified IL-2 exhibited stable IL-2 activity, similar to those containing the non-targeting VHH domain and wild-type IL-2. 2. Activity of polypeptides. Polypeptides containing non-targeting VHH domains and modified IL-2 exhibited significantly lower activity on reporter cells expressing CD8a. These results demonstrate that IL-2 activity can specifically target CD8a-expressing cells over a wide concentration range, which in this reported assay fell roughly between 0.01 and 1 nM.

在非人類靈長類動物中測試融合蛋白對CD8+ T細胞擴增的影響,該融合蛋白包含有hzB7v15及融合至CD8a結合VHH hzB7v15之C端的包含突變T3A、H16A、P65R、D84S及C125S (SEQ ID NO: 79)的經修飾IL-2。食蟹獼猴以0.3 mg/kg靜脈內推注注射投與融合蛋白。在融合蛋白投與之前及融合蛋白投與之後7天,自研究動物收集全血樣品。在Lymphoprep™中使用密度離心來分離各時間點的周邊血液單核細胞(PBMC),且用螢光標記細胞類型特異性抗體組合來染色細胞。將T細胞分類為表現CD4或CD8a、不表現B細胞標記CD20的CD3+細胞。調節性T細胞(「Treg」)定義為亦表現CD25且具有降低之CD127含量的CD4+ T細胞。CD4+習知T細胞(「CD4+ Tcon」)定義為不表現CD25且具有正常CD127含量的CD4+ T細胞。NK細胞定義為表現NKG2A之非T及非B細胞。針對CD20染色呈陽性之群體歸類為B細胞。使用流動式細胞測量術測定各PBMC亞群之絕對細胞計數,且藉由用給藥後7天絕對細胞計數除以給藥前基線計數來計算擴增。The effect of a fusion protein containing hzB7v15 and mutations T3A, H16A, P65R, D84S and C125S fused to the C-terminus of the CD8a-binding VHH hzB7v15 on CD8+ T cell expansion was tested in non-human primates (SEQ ID NO: 79) modified IL-2. Cynomolgus macaques were administered the fusion protein as an intravenous bolus injection of 0.3 mg/kg. Whole blood samples were collected from study animals before and 7 days after fusion protein administration. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at each time point were isolated using density centrifugation in Lymphoprep™ and cells were stained with a combination of fluorescently labeled cell type-specific antibodies. T cells are classified as CD3+ cells that express CD4 or CD8a and do not express the B cell marker CD20. Regulatory T cells ("Tregs") are defined as CD4+ T cells that also express CD25 and have reduced CD127 content. CD4+ conventional T cells (“CD4+ Tcon”) are defined as CD4+ T cells that do not express CD25 and have normal CD127 content. NK cells are defined as non-T and non-B cells expressing NKG2A. Populations that stain positive for CD20 are classified as B cells. Absolute cell counts of each PBMC subpopulation were determined using flow cytometry, and expansion was calculated by dividing absolute cell counts 7 days post-dose by pre-dose baseline counts.

如圖7中所示,0.3 mg/kg之單次劑量之靶向CD8a之經修飾IL-2引起CD8+ T細胞之5.6倍擴增及NK細胞之2.8倍擴增,同時不顯著影響CD8-細胞群,包括Treg、CD4+習知T細胞及B細胞。較高數目之CD8+ T細胞亦導致總T細胞之3.2倍增加,且總PBMC數目相比於給藥前細胞計數增加2.7倍。此等數據顯示靶向CD8a之經修飾IL-2特異性地誘導活體內CD8+細胞群之細胞增殖。 實例 6 CD8a 結合多肽與 293F 細胞上表現之人類 CD8 鏈的結合 As shown in Figure 7, a single dose of 0.3 mg/kg modified IL-2 targeting CD8a caused a 5.6-fold expansion of CD8+ T cells and a 2.8-fold expansion of NK cells without significantly affecting CD8- cells. group, including Treg, CD4+ T cells and B cells. Higher numbers of CD8+ T cells also resulted in a 3.2-fold increase in total T cells, and a 2.7-fold increase in total PBMC numbers compared to predose cell counts. These data show that modified IL-2 targeting CD8a specifically induces cell proliferation of CD8+ cell populations in vivo.

Cells were grown in complete growth medium (RPMI, 10% FBS, 1% antibiotic-antimycotic) supplemented with 10 nM test peptide or 5-fold dilutions of test peptide starting at 200 nM. Control proteins included polypeptides containing CD8a-hzB7v31 formatted as VHH-xELL Fc, fusion proteins containing non-targeting VHH-xELL Fc and mutant attenuated IL-2 and wild-type IL-2. After six or seven days of culture, fluorescence was used for CD3 (Hit3, 1:100), CD4 (OKT4, 1:200), CD8 (RPA-T8, 1:200), and CD45 (HI30, 1:100). Labeled antibodies and propidium iodide (PI, 1:2000) were used to label cell subpopulations to differentiate between live and dead cells. T cells were classified as CD45+ CD3+ PI- cells expressing CD4 or CD8a. Cell numbers of these T cell subsets were quantified using flow cytometry on days six or seven. Flow cytometry detection was performed on an ACEA Biosciences Novocyte-Quanteon flow cytometer. Use GraphPad Prism analysis software to draw and analyze data. Cell numbers were normalized to samples treated with CD8a-hzB7v31-Fc-xELL to determine the fold increase in cell count relative to a control polypeptide that did not contain IL-2 and did not cause cell proliferation. Percent proliferation was determined by quantifying the percentage of cells with a lower CellTrace violet fluorescence intensity than the peak value of parental undivided cells.

如圖12A及圖12C中所示,包含CD8a結合VHH hzB7v31域、Fc區及融合至Fc區之C端的突變減毒IL-2的所測試多肽誘導CD8 T細胞在解離腫瘤樣品及健康PBMC中之增殖。野生型IL-2亦誘導CD8 (圖12A及圖12C)及CD4 (圖12B) T細胞之增殖,然而靶向CD8a之突變減毒IL-2不誘導CD4 T細胞之增殖。包含CD8a-hzB7v31而無IL-2之多肽及包含非靶向VHH、Fc區及突變減毒IL-2之多肽均不誘導CD8或CD4 T細胞增殖之可偵測增加,指示需要減毒IL-2靶向細胞以便誘導IL-2受體信號傳導活性,諸如增殖。 實例 11 由包含 CD8a 結合 VHH 及減毒 IL - 2 之多肽誘導的食蟹獼猴 PBMC 亞群之細胞擴增 As shown in Figures 12A and 12C, the tested polypeptides comprising the CD8a binding VHH hzB7v31 domain, the Fc region, and mutant attenuated IL-2 fused to the C-terminus of the Fc region induced CD8 T cells in dissociated tumor samples and healthy PBMCs. proliferation. Wild-type IL-2 also induced the proliferation of CD8 (Fig. 12A and Fig. 12C) and CD4 (Fig. 12B) T cells, whereas mutant attenuated IL-2 targeting CD8a did not induce the proliferation of CD4 T cells. Neither peptides containing CD8a-hzB7v31 without IL-2 nor peptides containing non-targeting VHH, Fc region, and mutant attenuated IL-2 induced a detectable increase in CD8 or CD4 T cell proliferation, indicating the need for attenuated IL-2 2 targets cells to induce IL-2 receptor signaling activity, such as proliferation.

在非人類靈長類動物中測試融合蛋白對活體內細胞擴增的影響,該融合蛋白包含CD8a結合VHH hzB7v15、xELL P329G、杵臼雜二聚體Fc區及融合至「杵」Fc (SEQ ID NO: 74及75)之C端的減毒IL-2。向食蟹獼猴以1.0 mg/kg靜脈內推注注射投與融合蛋白。在融合蛋白投與之前及之後七天自研究動物收集全血樣品。在Lymphoprep™中使用密度離心分離各時間點的PBMC且用螢光標記細胞類型特異性抗體組合染色細胞。將T細胞分類為表現CD4或CD8a、不表現B細胞標記CD20的CD3+細胞。調節性T細胞(「Treg」)定義為亦表現CD25且具有降低之CD127含量的CD4+ T細胞。CD4+習知T細胞(「CD4+ Tcon」)定義為不表現CD25且具有正常CD127含量的CD4+ T細胞。NK細胞定義為表現NKG2A之非T且非B細胞,且對於CD16呈陽性或陰性。針對CD20染色呈陽性之群體歸類為B細胞。使用流動式細胞測量術測定各PBMC亞群之絕對細胞計數,且藉由用給藥後7天絕對細胞計數除以給藥前基線計數來計算擴增。使用額外固定、滲透及染色步驟在上文所述之PBMC亞群中量測Ki67表現。簡言之,針對細胞表面標記,細胞用螢光標記細胞類型特異性抗體組合染色,接著使用FoxP3轉錄因子染色緩衝液組(eBioscience)固定及滲透。FoxP3及Ki67接著用特異性螢光標記抗體偵測。T細胞分類為表現CD4或CD8a、不表現NK細胞標記NKG2A的CD3+細胞。調節性T細胞(「Treg」)定義為亦表現CD25及FoxP3之CD4+ T細胞。CD4+習知T細胞(「CD4+ Tcon」)定義為不表現CD25或FoxP3之CD4+ T細胞。NK細胞定義為非T且表現NKG2A且對於CD16呈陽性或陰性。在ACEA Biosciences Novocyte-Quanteon流動式細胞儀上進行流動式細胞測量術偵測。使用GraphPad Prism分析軟體繪製及分析資料。藉由用第七天每mL全血中之細胞計數除以基線(給藥前)處每mL全血中之細胞計數來計算變化倍數。The effect of a fusion protein containing CD8a-binding VHH hzB7v15, xELL P329G, the PESTLE heterodimer Fc region and fused to the "PEST" Fc (SEQ ID NO. : 74 and 75) C-terminal attenuated IL-2. The fusion protein was administered to cynomolgus macaques as an intravenous bolus injection of 1.0 mg/kg. Whole blood samples were collected from study animals before and seven days after fusion protein administration. PBMC at each time point were isolated using density centrifugation in Lymphoprep™ and cells were stained with a combination of fluorescently labeled cell type-specific antibodies. T cells are classified as CD3+ cells that express CD4 or CD8a and do not express the B cell marker CD20. Regulatory T cells ("Tregs") are defined as CD4+ T cells that also express CD25 and have reduced CD127 content. CD4+ conventional T cells (“CD4+ Tcon”) are defined as CD4+ T cells that do not express CD25 and have normal CD127 content. NK cells are defined as non-T and non-B cells that express NKG2A and are positive or negative for CD16. Populations that stain positive for CD20 are classified as B cells. Absolute cell counts of each PBMC subpopulation were determined using flow cytometry, and expansion was calculated by dividing absolute cell counts 7 days post-dose by pre-dose baseline counts. Ki67 expression was measured in the PBMC subpopulations described above using additional fixation, permeabilization and staining steps. Briefly, cells were stained with a combination of fluorescently labeled cell type-specific antibodies for cell surface markers, followed by fixation and permeabilization using the FoxP3 transcription factor staining buffer set (eBioscience). FoxP3 and Ki67 were then detected using specific fluorescently labeled antibodies. T cells are classified as CD3+ cells that express CD4 or CD8a and do not express the NK cell marker NKG2A. Regulatory T cells (“Treg”) are defined as CD4+ T cells that also express CD25 and FoxP3. CD4+ conventional T cells (“CD4+ Tcon”) are defined as CD4+ T cells that do not express CD25 or FoxP3. NK cells are defined as non-T cells that express NKG2A and are either positive or negative for CD16. Flow cytometry detection was performed on an ACEA Biosciences Novocyte-Quanteon flow cytometer. Use GraphPad Prism analysis software to draw and analyze data. Fold change was calculated by dividing the cell count per mL of whole blood at day 7 by the cell count per mL of whole blood at baseline (predose).

如圖13A中所示,單次劑量1 mg/kg的靶向CD8a之減毒IL-2分別引起CD8 T細胞之5倍擴增,以及表現CD8a之CD16+或CD16-NK細胞的3.9倍及4.7倍擴增。CD8a陰性細胞群,包括Treg、CD4+習知T細胞及B細胞之數目在給藥前抽血與第七天之間未顯著增加。圖13B展示活體內表現CD8a之細胞群的特異性擴增伴隨增殖標記Ki67的特異性增加。Ki67+增殖CD8 T細胞之百分比自基線處6%增加至第七天之58%,而CD16+及CD16-NK細胞群在相同時間範圍中展示Ki67+細胞平均增加40-53%。CD8a陰性細胞群(包括Treg及CD4+習知T細胞)內Ki67+群體的百分比不變。此等資料展示靶向CD8a之減毒IL-2特異性地誘導活體內CD8a陽性細胞群之細胞增殖。 實例 12 由包含 CD8a 結合 VHH 及減毒 IL - 2 之多肽誘導的 CD8 T 細胞之細胞毒活性及針對人類癌細胞之抗體依賴性細胞毒性的增強 As shown in Figure 13A, a single dose of 1 mg/kg of attenuated IL-2 targeting CD8a caused a 5-fold expansion of CD8 T cells, and a 3.9-fold and 4.7-fold expansion of CD8a-expressing CD16+ or CD16-NK cells, respectively. times amplification. The number of CD8a negative cell groups, including Tregs, CD4+ conventional T cells and B cells, did not increase significantly between the blood draw before administration and the seventh day. Figure 13B shows specific expansion of the CD8a expressing cell population in vivo accompanied by a specific increase in the proliferation marker Ki67. The percentage of Ki67+ proliferating CD8 T cells increased from 6% at baseline to 58% at day seven, while the CD16+ and CD16-NK cell populations showed an average increase in Ki67+ cells of 40-53% over the same time frame. The percentage of Ki67+ population within the CD8a negative cell population (including Tregs and CD4+ conventional T cells) remained unchanged. These data demonstrate that attenuated IL-2 targeting CD8a specifically induces cell proliferation of CD8a-positive cell populations in vivo.

在用富集CD8 T細胞之腫瘤細胞殺死分析及與西妥昔單抗組合之抗體依賴性細胞毒性(ADCC)分析中進一步評定多肽之活性,該多肽包含CD8a結合VHH hzB7v31域、Fc區及包含融合至Fc區之C端(SEQ ID NO: 107及108)的包含T3A、H16A、E61R、P65R、D84Y及C125S突變(SEQ ID NO: 78)的減毒IL-2。對照蛋白包括包含非靶向VHH-xELL Fc及突變減毒IL-2及野生型IL-2的融合蛋白。對於CD8 T細胞殺死分析,來自健康人類供體血液之PBMC用於分離CD8 T細胞,且在培養盤上,在存在或不存在來自野生型IL-2或包含CD8a結合VHH hzB7v31-xELL Fc及突變減毒IL-2之融合蛋白(各1nM)的額外細胞介素支持下,用以1 µg /ml塗佈的針對CD3之抗體(純系:OKT3)刺激所富集細胞3天。在目標細胞殺死分析當天,用CYTO-ID紅長期細胞示蹤劑(Enzo)標記A431細胞,接著在96孔平底培養盤中以4,000個細胞/孔塗鋪100 µL,且使其黏附4小時。將預刺激之CD8 T細胞在PBS中洗滌一次且如所指示以不同效應子與目標細胞比(20:1、10:1及5:1)添加至經標記之A431目標細胞中。將凋亡蛋白酶-3/7綠色染料(Sartorius)添加至各孔中以偵測細胞死亡。20小時後藉由使用Incucyte成像器定量凋亡蛋白酶-3/7及CYTO-ID紅之重疊來測定A431殺死。The activity of the polypeptide comprising the CD8a binding VHH hzB7v31 domain, Fc region and Attenuated IL-2 comprising T3A, H16A, E61R, P65R, D84Y and C125S mutations (SEQ ID NO: 78) fused to the C-terminus of the Fc region (SEQ ID NO: 107 and 108). Control proteins included fusion proteins containing non-targeting VHH-xELL Fc and mutant attenuated IL-2 and wild-type IL-2. For CD8 T cell killing assays, PBMC from healthy human donor blood were used to isolate CD8 T cells and cultured on culture plates in the presence or absence of IL-2 from wild-type or containing CD8a-binding VHH hzB7v31-xELL Fc and The enriched cells were stimulated with an antibody against CD3 (clone: OKT3) coated at 1 µg/ml with the support of additional interleukin of fusion proteins of mutated attenuated IL-2 (1 nM each) for 3 days. On the day of target cell killing analysis, A431 cells were labeled with CYTO-ID Red long-term cell tracer (Enzo), then plated in 100 µL at 4,000 cells/well in a 96-well flat-bottom culture dish and allowed to adhere for 4 hours. . Prestimulated CD8 T cells were washed once in PBS and added to labeled A431 target cells at different effector to target cell ratios (20:1, 10:1 and 5:1) as indicated. Apoptase-3/7 green dye (Sartorius) was added to each well to detect cell death. A431 killing was determined after 20 hours by quantifying the overlap of apoptotic proteinase-3/7 and CYTO-ID red using an Incucyte imager.

對於ADCC分析,用CYTO-ID紅長期細胞示蹤劑(Enzo)標記A431細胞,接著在96孔平底培養盤中以10,000個細胞/孔塗鋪100 µL,且使其黏附4小時。將人類PBMC解凍且藉由流動式細胞測量術測試NK細胞頻率。對於各孔而言,25 µL Incucyte®針對細胞凋亡的凋亡蛋白酶-3/7綠色染料(Sartorius)之最終稀釋度為1:2000,25 µL培養基或ADCC抗體西妥昔單抗之最終濃度為20 nM,25 µL培養基,野生型重組IL-2之最終濃度為1 nM,或IL-2變異體融合多肽之最終濃度為1 nM,及25 µL人類PBMC的濃度調整至每1個A431細胞10或5個NK細胞。使細胞在室溫下靜置10分鐘,隨後將培養盤置於37℃下之Incucyte成像器中進行成像。15小時後藉由定量凋亡蛋白酶-3/7及CYTO-ID紅之重疊來測定A431殺死,其中最大殺死由20 nM西妥昔單抗界定。使用GraphPad Prism分析軟體繪製及分析所有資料。For ADCC analysis, A431 cells were labeled with CYTO-ID Red long-term cell tracer (Enzo), then plated in 100 µL at 10,000 cells/well in a 96-well flat-bottom culture dish and allowed to adhere for 4 hours. Human PBMC were thawed and tested for NK cell frequency by flow cytometry. For each well, 25 µL of Incucyte® Apoptosis-3/7 Green Dye for Apoptosis (Sartorius) at a final dilution of 1:2000, 25 µL of media or final concentration of the ADCC antibody cetuximab is 20 nM, 25 µL culture medium, the final concentration of wild-type recombinant IL-2 is 1 nM, or the final concentration of IL-2 variant fusion peptide is 1 nM, and the concentration of 25 µL human PBMC is adjusted to per 1 A431 cell 10 or 5 NK cells. The cells were allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then the culture plate was placed in an Incucyte imager at 37°C for imaging. A431 killing was determined after 15 hours by quantifying the overlap of apoptotic proteinase-3/7 and CYTO-ID red, with maximum killing defined by 20 nM cetuximab. All data were plotted and analyzed using GraphPad Prism analysis software.

如圖14A及圖14B中所示,包含CD8a結合VHH hzB7v31域、Fc區及融合至Fc區之C端之突變減毒IL-2的所測試多肽在不同效應子與目標細胞比下增強CD8 T細胞之相對細胞毒性(圖14A),且有助於以次佳子與目標細胞比增加PBMC針對EGFR陽性A431目標細胞之西妥昔單抗驅動之ADCC活性(圖14B)。CD8 T細胞活性程度比在野生型IL-2下觀測到之程度高3至4倍,但在ADCC分析中為相當的。包含非靶向VHH-xELL Fc及突變減毒IL-2的融合蛋白不能夠增加較低效應子與目標細胞比之ADCC活性,指示需要減毒IL-2靶向效應細胞以便誘導IL-2受體信號傳導活性及增強之細胞毒性。As shown in Figures 14A and 14B, tested polypeptides comprising the CD8a binding VHH hzB7v31 domain, the Fc region, and mutant attenuated IL-2 fused to the C-terminus of the Fc region enhanced CD8 T The relative cytotoxicity of the cells (Figure 14A) and contributed to increased cetuximab-driven ADCC activity of PBMCs against EGFR-positive A431 target cells at a suboptimal daughter-to-target cell ratio (Figure 14B). The degree of CD8 T cell activity was 3- to 4-fold greater than that observed with wild-type IL-2, but was comparable in the ADCC assay. Fusion proteins containing non-targeting VHH-xELL Fc and mutant attenuated IL-2 were unable to increase ADCC activity at lower effector to target cell ratios, indicating the need for attenuated IL-2 to target effector cells in order to induce IL-2 receptor body signaling activity and enhanced cytotoxicity.
