1353852 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 腫瘤壞死因子a (TNFot)為數種細胞類型(包含單細胞及 巨噬菌)產生之細胞素,其最初依據其誘發某些老鼠腫瘤 之能力而鑑定(參見例如Old,L. (1985) Science 230. : 630-632)。隨後,與惡質病有關之稱為致惡變蛋白之因子顯示 與TNFoc相同之分子。TNFa與調節休克有關聯(例如參見 Beutler,B.及 Cerami,A. (1988) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 5 7 · 505-5 18 ; Beulter,B.及 Cerami,A. (1989) Annu_ Rev. Immunol. Z: 625-655)。再者,TNFoc與各種人類疾病及失 調已有關聯,包含敗血、感染、自動免疫疾病、移植排斥 及接肢對宿主疾病(參見Vasilli, P. (1992) Annu_ Rev. Immunol. l〇_ · 411-452 ; Tracey, K. J.及 Cerami,A. (1994) Annu. Rev.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] Tumor necrosis factor a (TNFot) is a cytokine produced by several cell types (including single cells and macrophages), which is initially based on its ability to induce tumors in certain mice. Identification (see for example Old, L. (1985) Science 230.: 630-632). Subsequently, a factor called malignant protein associated with dysentery shows the same molecule as TNFoc. TNFa is associated with the regulation of shock (see, for example, Beutler, B. and Cerami, A. (1988) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 5 7 · 505-5 18; Beulter, B. and Cerami, A. (1989) Annu_ Rev. Immunol. Z: 625-655). Furthermore, TNFoc has been linked to various human diseases and disorders, including sepsis, infection, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, and limb-to-host disease (see Vasilli, P. (1992) Annu_ Rev. Immunol. l〇_ 411-452 ; Tracey, KJ and Cerami, A. (1994) Annu. Rev. Med. 45_ · 491-503) o [Prior Art] Due to the harmful role of human TNFoc (hTNFoc) in various human disorders, the therapeutic target has Designed to inhibit or counteract hTNFoc activity. In particular, antibodies that bind to and neutralize hTNFoc have been recognized as a means of inhibiting hTNFoc activity. Some of the earliest antibodies were mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) secreted by fusion tumors prepared from lymphocytes of mice immunized with hTNFoc (see, for example, Hahn T., et al. (1985) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA to: 3814 -3818; Liang, CM, et al. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 137: 847-854; Hirai, M., et al. (1987) J. Immunol. Methods 96_ ' 57-62 ; Fendly, BM, et al.

歐洲專利申請案186 833 B1 ; Old等人之歐洲專利申請案 218 868 Al ; Moeller,A.等人之歐洲專利申請案26〇 61〇 B1)。雖然該等老鼠抗-hTNFot抗體經常顯現對hTNFa之高 親和性(如KdS 1〇·9 M)且可中和hTNFa活性,但其體内用 途因對人類投予老鼠抗體產生之問題而受到限制,如短血 清半生期、於法制約某種人類效應器功能及誘出人類中對 老鼠抗體之不欲免疫反應(“人類抗-老鼠抗體,,(HAMA)反 應)。 為了嘗試克服於人類中使用全老鼠抗體,老鼠抗_ hTNFa抗體利用遺傳工程作成更“似人類,,。例如已製備其 中抗體鏈之可變區域係衍生自老鼠及抗體鏈之恆定區域係 知生自人類之嵌合抗體(Knight, D M,等人(i993)European Patent Application 186 833 B1; European Patent Application 218 868 Al to Old et al., Moeller, A. et al., European Patent Application No. 26, 61, B1). Although these mouse anti-hTNFot antibodies often exhibit high affinity for hTNFa (such as KdS 1〇·9 M) and can neutralize hTNFa activity, their in vivo use is limited by the problem of human antibody administration to mice. Such as short serum half-life, the method of restricting certain human effector functions and the undesired immune response to mouse antibodies in humans ("human anti-mouse antibody, (HAMA) response). In order to try to overcome in humans Using whole mouse antibodies, mouse anti-hTNFa antibodies are genetically engineered to be more "human-like,". For example, a variable region in which an antibody chain has been prepared is derived from a constant region of a mouse and an antibody chain, and is known to be a chimeric antibody derived from humans (Knight, D M, et al. (i993)
Immunol. Μ: 1443-1453 ; Dadd〇na,pE,等人之 pcT 申請 案WO 92/16553)。此外,亦已製備其中抗體可變區域之高 度可變區域係衍生自老鼠但其他可變區域及抗體怪定區域 係衍生自人類之人類化抗體(Adair,JR,等人之pcT申請 號WO 92/11383)。’然而,由於該料合及人類化抗體仍留 有些許老鼠序列,仍可誘出不欲免疫反應(人類抗_嵌合抗 體(HACA)反應)’尤其對例如慢性適應症如風濕性關節炎 長期投予時(參見例如Elli〇tt,MJ,等人(1"4) 344 : 1125-1127 ; Elloit, M.J., 等人(1994) Lancet 344 : 1105-1110) 〇 149555.doc 1353852 對老鼠mAbs或其衍生物之較佳hTNFa抑制劑(如敌合或 人類化抗體)需為整個人類抗-hTNFa抗體,因為此藥劑應 不會誘出該HAMA反應,即使長期使用。抗hTNFcc之人類 單株自動抗體已使用人類融合瘤技術製備(Boyle,P.,等人 (1993) Cell. Immunol. 152 : 556-568 ; Boyle, P.,等人 (1993) Cell. Immunol. 152· 569-5 8 1 ; Boyle 等人之歐洲專 利公報614 984 A2)。然而,該等衍生自融合瘤之單株抗體 已報導對hTNFa之親和性太低而無法以習知方法計算,無 法結合可溶hTNFa且無法中和hTNFa-誘發之細胞毒性(參 見Boyle等人同上文獻)。再者,人類融合瘤技術之成功有 賴於人類末梢血液中存在有產生對hTNFa特異之自動抗體 之淋巴細胞。某些研究已於人類個體中偵測到抗hTNFa之 血清自動抗體(Fomsgaard,A.,等人(1989) Scand. J. Immunol. 30. : 219-223 ; Bendtzen,K·,等人(1990) Prog. Leukocyte Biol. 10B : 447-452),而其他則無(Leusch,H-G.,等人(1 99 1) J. Immunol. Methods 139 : 1 45-1 47) o 另一天然人類抗-hTNFa抗體為重組hTNFa抗體。已描述 以相當低親和性(如Kd約ΙΟ·7 Μ)結合且hTNFa具快速解離 出速率(亦即〖。^約10'2秒’之重組人類抗體(Griffiths, A.D.,等人(1993) EMBO J. 11: 725-734)。然而,由於其 相對快速之解離動力學,該等抗體不適合治療用途。此 外,重組人類抗-hTNFa已描述無法中和hTNFa活性,但卻 可增強hTNFa結合至細胞表面且增強hTNFa之融合特性 (internalization) (Lidburg,A·,等人(1994) Biotechnol. [ £ 】 149555.doc Ϊ353852Immunol. Μ: 1443-1453; Dadd〇na, pE, et al. pcT application WO 92/16553). In addition, highly variable regions in which the variable region of the antibody has been prepared have been derived from mice, but other variable regions and antibody-definite regions are humanized antibodies derived from humans (Adair, JR, et al., pcT application number WO 92 /11383). 'However, due to the fact that the antibody and the humanized antibody still leave a few mouse sequences, it is still possible to induce an unwanted immune response (human anti-chimeric antibody (HACA) response), especially for chronic indications such as rheumatoid arthritis. For long-term administration (see for example Elli〇tt, MJ, et al. (1"4) 344: 1125-1127; Elloit, MJ, et al. (1994) Lancet 344: 1105-1110) 〇149555.doc 1353852 on mouse mAbs A preferred hTNFa inhibitor (or a hostile or humanized antibody) of a derivative thereof or a derivative thereof is required to be an entire human anti-hTNFa antibody, since the agent should not induce the HAMA reaction even for prolonged use. Human monoclonal autoantibodies against hTNFcc have been prepared using human fusion tumor technology (Boyle, P., et al. (1993) Cell. Immunol. 152: 556-568; Boyle, P., et al. (1993) Cell. Immunol. 152· 569-5 8 1 ; European Patent Gazette 614 984 A2) by Boyle et al. However, these monoclonal antibodies derived from fusion tumors have been reported to have too low affinity for hTNFa to be calculated by conventional methods, unable to bind soluble hTNFa and are unable to neutralize hTNFa-induced cytotoxicity (see Boyle et al., supra). literature). Furthermore, the success of human fusion tumor technology relies on the presence of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of humans that produce autoantibodies specific for hTNFa. Some studies have detected anti-hTNFa serum autoantibodies in human individuals (Fomsgaard, A., et al. (1989) Scand. J. Immunol. 30.: 219-223; Bendtzen, K., et al. (1990). Prog. Leukocyte Biol. 10B: 447-452), while others are absent (Leusch, HG., et al. (1 99 1) J. Immunol. Methods 139: 1 45-1 47) o Another natural human anti- The hTNFa antibody is a recombinant hTNFa antibody. Recombinant human antibodies have been described that bind with relatively low affinity (e.g., Kd about 7 Μ) and hTNFa has a rapid dissociation rate (i.e., about 10 '2 seconds' (Griffiths, AD, et al. (1993) EMBO J. 11: 725-734). However, due to their relatively rapid dissociation kinetics, these antibodies are not suitable for therapeutic use. Furthermore, recombinant human anti-hTNFa has been described to be unable to neutralize hTNFa activity but enhance hTNFa binding to Cell surface and enhance the integration of hTNFa (Lidburg, A., et al.

The typical mode of administration of antibodies is performed intravenously weekly. Administration of antibodies and/or any drug per week may be costly, inconvenient, and result in several side effects due to the number of administrations. Intravenous administration also has a limitation that administration by a drug trainer is generally performed. [Summary of the Invention]

An "antigen binding site" (or simply "antibody moiety") of an antibody as used herein refers to one or more fragments (e.g., hTNFot) of an antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be carried out by a fragment of a full length antibody. Examples of binding fragments contained in an "antigen-binding site" of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment composed of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 regions; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, which is composed of a disulfide The bridge links two 149555.doc -13-1353852 Fab fragments in the hinge region; (Hi) the Fd fragment composed of the vH and CH1 regions; (iv) the vl and VH of the antibody one arm The Fv fragment consisting of the region; (v) the dAb fragment (Ward et al. (1989) Nature 34L: 544-546) 'which consists of the VH region; and (vi) the independent complementarity determining region (CDR). Furthermore, although the two regions V1 and VH of the FV fragment are encoded by individual genes', they can be recombined to form a synthetic bond in which the VL and VH regions are paired to form a single protein chain of a monovalent molecule. (referred to as single chain Fv (scFv); see, for example, Bird et al. (1988) Science 423-426; and Huston #A (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 5879-5883). This single chain antibody is also intended to be included in the term "antigen binding site" of the antibody. Other types of single chain antibodies such as diabodies are also included. A diabodies are one-valent dispecific antibodies that express VH and VL £ domains on a single polypeptide chain' but use too short a 4 linkage to allow pairing between the two regions on the same strand, thus driving the region to complement other chains.

However, isolated antibodies that specifically bind hTNFa may have cross-reactivity to other antigens, such as hTNFa molecules from other species (discussed below). Furthermore, the isolated antibodies are substantially free of other cellular materials and/or chemicals. As used herein, "neutralizing antibody" (or "antibody that neutralizes hTNFoc activity") is intended to represent an antibody that binds to hTNFoc and will result in inhibition of hTNFa biological activity. The inhibition of the biological activity of hTNFa can be assessed by measuring one or more indicators of hTNFot bioactivity, such as hTNFa-induced cytotoxicity (in vitro or in vivo), hTNFa-induced cell activation, and hTNFa binding to the hTNFa receptor. Such indicators of hTNFa biological activity can be assessed by one or more of several standard in vitro or in vivo assays known in the art (see Example 4). Preferably, the ability of the antibody to neutralize hTNFa activity is assayed by inhibition of hTNFa-induced cytotoxicity of L929 cells. As for other or additional parameters of hTNFa, the ability of the antibody to inhibit the hTNFoc-induced expression of ELAM-1 on HUVEC (an indicator of hTNFa-induced cell activation) can be analyzed.

Accordingly, the antibody or antibody portion of the invention is intended to comprise a derivatized and other modified human anti-hTNFa antibody herein, comprising an immunoadhesive molecule. For example, an antibody or antibody site of the invention 149555.doc -23- 1353852 can be functionally linked (by chemical coupling, gene fusion, non-covalent association or otherwise) to one or more other molecular entities, such as another antibody (eg, double a specific antibody or a diabodies), a detectable agent, a cytotoxic agent, a medicinal agent, and/or a protein or peptide (eg, a streptavidin core region or a polyhistidine tag) that modulates an antibody or antibody site with another molecule. . One type of derivatized anti-system is made by cross-linking two or more antibodies (of the same type or of different types, such as the production of bispecific antibodies). Suitable crosslinkers comprise heterofunctional groups having two different reactive groups separated by a spacer's spacer (eg, meta-maleimide benzoyl amide) A homobifunctional group (such as adiamyl succinate). This linkage was obtained from Pierce Chemicals Inc. Rockford, IL.

Exemplary fluorescent detectable agents include luciferin, luciferin isothiocyanate, alkaline ruthenium red; 5-dimethylamine naphthalenesulfonium chloride, phycobilidin, and the like. Antibodies can also be used to detect enzyme derivatization, such as alkaline phosphate, horseradish peroxidase, glucose oxidase and the like. When an antibody is derivatized with a detectable enzyme, it uses an additional enzyme to produce an additional reagent that detects the reaction product.

Antibodies can also be derivatized by biotin and detected by indirect measurement of the binding of either inulin or streptavidin.抗体. Antibody expression Recombinant expression in the main cell For the expression of the antibody, the antibody or antibody site of the present invention can be prepared by the light and heavy chain genes of the phage globulin. 149555.doc -24- 1353852 Host cells are transfected with one or more recombinant expression vectors with DNA fragments that can be catalogued as immunoglobulins of light and heavy chains, allowing light and heavy chains to be expressed in host cells. Preferably, it is secreted into a medium in which the host cells are cultured, and the antibody is recovered from the medium. Standard recombinant DNA methods are used to obtain anti-alked heavy and light chain genes 'incorporating these genes into recombinant expression vectors and introducing vectors into host cells, such as Sambrook, Fritsch and Maniatis (eds.) 'Molecular selection; laboratory Handbook, 2nd edition, New York, Cold Spring Harbor Press (1989), Ausubel, FM, et al. (ed.) Existing Strategies in Molecular Biology, Greene Publishing Association (1989) and USP 4,816,397 to Boss et al. To express a D2E7 or D2E7-related antibody, a DNA fragment encoding a variable region of a light and heavy chain is first obtained. Such DNAs can be obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and modification of germline light and heavy chain variable sequences. The germline DNA sequences of human heavy and light chain variable region genes are known in the art (see, for example, the "Vbase" human germline sequence database; see also Kabat, EA et al. (1991) Immunologically interesting protein sequences, Fifth Edition, US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242; Tomlinson, IM., et al. (1992) ''Human germline % sequence collection reveals Group 5 of Vh fragments with different height-variable loops , j. M〇1 Bi〇1 776-798 and Cox, JPL, et al. (1994) “Management of human germline V78 fragments revealed a strong basis for its treatment” Eur j Immun〇丨亘: 827-836, Its inner valley is for reference in this article). To obtain a DNA fragment encoding a heavy chain variable region of a D2E7 or D2E7-related antibody, a VH3 family member of the human germline VH gene was amplified by standard PCR. Preferably, the Dp_149555.doc -25- 1353852 31 VH germline sequence is amplified. To obtain a DNA fragment encoding a light chain variable region of a D2E7 or D2E7-related antibody, a VKI family member of the human germline VL gene was amplified by standard PCR. Preferably, the A20 VL germline sequence is amplified. PCR primers suitable for amplifying the DP-31 germline VH and A20 germline VL sequences can be designed using standard methods disclosed in the references cited in the above references. When a germline VH and VL fragment is obtained, the sequences can be mutated to encode a D2E7 or D2E7-related amino acid sequence as disclosed herein. The amino acid sequence encoded by the VH and VL DNA sequences is first compared to the D2E7 or D2E7-related VH and VL amino acid sequences to identify amino acid residues other than the D2E7 or D2E7-related sequences of the germline. Next, the appropriate nucleotide mutation of the germline DNA sequence allows the mutated germline sequence to encode a D2E7 or D2E7-related amino acid sequence using a genetic code to determine the nuclear station acid change to be made. The gene mutation of the germline sequence is carried out by standard methods such as PCR-regulated gene mutation (in which the mutated nucleotide is incorporated into the PCR primer such that the PCR product contains the mutation) or gene mutation at the leader position. When a DNA fragment encoding a D2E7 or D2E7-related VH and VL fragment is obtained (by the above-described germline VH and VL gene amplification and gene mutation), the DNA fragments can be manipulated by standard recombinant DNA techniques, for example, The region gene is transformed into a full-length antibody chain gene and transformed into a Fab fragment gene or scFv gene. In such operations, the VL- or VH-encoding DNA fragment is operatively linked to another DNA fragment encoding another protein, such as an antibody constant region or a flexible linker. As used herein, "operably linked" means that the combination of two DNA fragments allows the amino acid sequence encoded by the two DNA fragments to remain in frame 149555.doc -26-1353852. The single DN A encoding the VH region can be converted into a full length heavy chain gene by operatively linking the VH-encoding DNA to another DNA molecule (CHI, CH2 and CH3) encoding a constant region of the heavy chain. Human heavy chain constant region gene sequences are known in the art (see, for example, Kabat, EA, et al. (1991) Immunologically interesting protein sequences, 5th ed., US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242) And DNA fragments comprising such regions can be obtained by standard PCR amplification. The heavy chain constant region may be an IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, IgE, IgM or IgD constant region, but is preferably an IgGl or IgG4 constant region. In the case of a Fav fragment heavy chain gene, the VH-encoding DNA is operably linked to another DNA molecule encoding only the constant region of the heavy chain CH1. The isolated DNA encoding the VL region can be converted into a full-length light chain gene (and a Fab light chain gene) by operatively linking the VL-encoding DNA to another DNA molecule CL encoding a constant region of the light chain. Human light chain constant region gene sequences are known in the art (see, for example, Kabat, EA, et al. (1991) Immunologically interesting protein sequences, 5th ed., US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242) And DNA fragments comprising such regions can be obtained by standard PCR amplification. The light chain constant region may be a κ or λ constant region, but is preferably a κ constant region. To generate the scFv gene, the VH- and VL-encoding DNA fragments are operably linked to another fragment encoding a flexible link (eg, encoding an amino acid sequence (Gly4-Ser) 3) such that the VH and VL sequences It can be expressed as a continuous single-stranded protein, while the VL and VH regions are linked by a flexible linker (see, for example, Bird et al. 149555.doc -27- 1353852 (1988) Science 242: 423-426; Huston et al. (1988) Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA ϋ: 5879-5883; McCafferty et al, Nature (1990) Ml: 552-554). To express an antibody or antibody site of the invention, the coding portion or the full length light and heavy chain DNA fragments obtained above are inserted into an expression vector such that the gene is operably linked to the transcriptional and translational control sequences. In the present specification, "operatively linked" means that the antibody is conjugated to the vector such that the transcriptional and translational control sequences within the vector have the desired function of regulating the transcription and translation of the antibody gene. The expression vector and the expression control sequence are selected to be compatible with the performance host cells used. The antibody light chain gene and the antibody heavy chain gene can be inserted into another vector or more typically, and the two genes are inserted into the same expression vector. The antibody gene can be expressed by a standard method (such as binding of an antibody gene fragment and a complementary restriction site of the vector, or a blunt end junction if there is no restriction position) ^ before inserting a D2E7 or D2E7-related light or heavy chain sequence, the expression vector can be The antibody constant region sequence has been taken. For example, one of the methods for converting a D2E7 or D2E7-related VH and VL· sequence into a full-length antibody gene is to insert it into a expression vector that encodes a heavy chain constant region and a light chain constant region, respectively, and thus the VH fragment is operably The CH fragment and the ?^^ fragment linked to the vector are operatively linked to the CL fragment in the vector. In addition or in addition, the 'recombinant expression vector can encode a mono-peptide which promotes secretion of the antibody chain from the host cell. The antibody chain gene is selected in a human vector such that the mono-peptide is linked in the framework to the amine terminus of the antibody bond gene. The mono-peptide may be an immunoglobulin mono-peptide or a hetero-single peptide (i.e., a mono-peptide derived from a non-immunoglobulin protein). In addition to the antibody chain gene, the recombinant expression vector of the present invention carries a regulatory sequence of the expression of the t antibody chain gene of the host cell of I49555.doc • 28-!353852. A "regulatory sequence" is intended to include promoters, enhancers, and other expression control elements (e.g., polyadenylation signals) that control the transcription or translation of the antibody chain genes. This regulatory sequence is described, for example, in Goeddel; Gene Expression Technology: Enzyme Methods 185, College Press, San Diego, CA (1990). It is well known in the art that the design of the performance vector includes the selection of regulatory sequences depending on several factors, the choice of host cell to be transformed, the degree of protein expression desired, and the like. Preferred regulatory sequences for mammalian host cell expression include viral elements that are introduced into high-protein expression in mammalian cells, such as promoters/enhancers derived from cytomegalovirus (CMV) (eg CMV promoter/enhancer), Simon (Simian) virus 40 (SV40) (such as the SV40 promoter/enhancer), adenovirus (such as the adenovirus major delayed promoter (AdMLP)), and polyomavirus. Further description of the viral regulatory elements and their sequences can be found in, for example, USP 5,168,062 to Stinski, USP 4,510,245 to Bell et al., and US Patent 4,968,615 to Schaffner et al. In addition to the antibody bond genes and regulatory sequences, the recombinant expression vectors of the present invention may carry additional sequences, such as sequences (e.g., replication sources) and selectable marker genes that modulate vector replication in a host cell. The selection of the standard is due to the selection of host cells into which the vector has been introduced (see, for example, Axd et al., USP 4,399,216; 4,634,665 and 5,179,017). For example, a selectable marker gene confers resistance to a drug such as G418, hygr〇mycin or aminoguanidine to a host cell into which the vector has been introduced. A preferred alternative marker gene comprises: the genus 土3_虱 folate reductase (DHFR) gene (for immortalized host cells with methotrexate selectivity/amplification) and the neo gene (for G418 selection) effect). 149555.doc •29· 1353852 For the performance of light and heavy chains, the expression vector encoding this heavy and light chain is transfected into host cells by standard techniques. Various types of "transfection" are intended to encompass a wide variety of techniques commonly used to introduce foreign DN A into prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cells, such as electroporation, calcium phosphate precipitation, DEAE-dextran transfection, and the like. Although it is theoretically possible to express the antibody of the present invention in a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell, since eukaryotic cells, and particularly mammalian cells, appear to be easier to assemble and secrete appropriately folded and immunologically active antibodies than prokaryotic cells, they are preferably eukaryotic. Antibodies are expressed in cells, especially in mammalian cells. Prokaryotic expression of antibody genes has been reported to be ineffective in the production of high-yield active antibodies (Boss, Μ.A. and Wood, CR (1 985) Immunology Today barrier: 12-13) ° Preferred mammals for the expression of recombinant antibodies of the invention The host cell contains Chinese hamster nest (CHO cells) (containing dhfr-CHO cells, described in Urlaub and Chasin, (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77: 4216-4220, with DHFR selectable marker genes for use , as described in RJ Kaufman and PA Sharp (1982) Mol. Biol. 159: 601-621), NSO myeloma cells, COS cells and SP2 cells. When a recombinant expression vector encoding an antibody gene is introduced into a mammalian host cell, the antibody is produced by culturing the host cell for a time sufficient to express the antibody in the host cell, or better for secretion of the antibody into the medium in which the host cell is grown. Antibodies can be recovered from culture media using standard protein purification methods. Host cells can also be used to produce intact antibody sites, such as Fab fragments or scFv molecules. It is to be understood that variations of the above described procedures are within the scope of the invention. For example, it may be desirable to transfect a host cell with DNA encoding one (but not both) of the light or heavy chain of an antibody of the invention. Recombinant DNA technology can also be used to remove some or all of the DNA encoding one or both of the light or heavy chains, which is not necessary for binding to hTNFa, 149555.doc -30- 353852. Molecules from which the truncated dna molecule is expressed are also included in the antibody of the present invention. In addition, the antibody of the present invention can be conjugated to a second antibody by a standard chemical crosslinking method to produce a bifunctional antibody. One heavy chain and one light chain are the antibodies of the present invention and other heavy and light chains are other than hTNFa. The antigen is specific. A preferred system for recombinant expression of an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof of the present invention, • a recombinant expression vector encoding both the heavy chain of the antibody and the light chain of the antibody, is transfected into dhfr-CHO cells by calcium phosphate. In recombinant expression vectors, antibody heavy and light chain genes are each operably linked to a CMV enhancer/AdMLp promoter regulatory element to confer a high degree of gene transfection. The recombinant expression vector also carries the DHFR gene, which can select CHO cells that have been transfected with the vector using methotrexate selection/amplification. The selected transformed host cell cultures allow for antibody heavy and light chain expression and recovery of intact antibodies from the culture medium. Standard biomolecular techniques are used to prepare recombinant expression vectors, transfected host cells, selected transformants, cultured host cells, and recovered from culture media.

The scFv antibody library is preferably screened using recombinant human TNFa as an antigen. Once the original human VL and VH fragments were selected, a "mixing and pairing" experiment was performed in which the initially selected VL and VH fragments of the hTNFa binding were screened differently to select the preferred VL/VH pairwise combination. In addition, in order to further improve the affinity and/or reduce the dissociation constant of hTNFa binding, the VL/VH paired VL and VH fragments may be similar to those in the body wall mutation process in which the antibody affinity mutation is responsible for the natural immune reaction. Random mutations, preferably in the CDR3 region of VH and/or VL. This in vitro affinity mutation can be performed by amplifying the VH and VL regions using PCR primers complementary to the VH CDR3 or VL CDR3, respectively, which have been "spiked" in a random mixture of 4 nucleotide bases at certain positions. The resulting PCR product can encode VH and VL fragments in which the random mutation has been introduced into the VH and/or VL CDR3 regions. The VH and VL fragments of these random mutations are rescreened for binding to hTNFa and optionally exhibit high binding to hTNFa. Affinity and sequence of low dissociation rate.

"Therapeutically effective amount" means an amount effective to achieve the desired therapeutic result during administration and during the desired period. The therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antibody site can depend on several factors, such as the individual's disease state, age, sex, and weight, and the ability of the antibody or antibody portion to elicit the desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount can also be one in which the therapeutic benefit of the antibody or antibody site is greater than any toxic or deleterious effect. The "preventive effective amount" represents the amount of the preventative result that can be effectively achieved during the period of administration and [S i 149555.doc -42 - 1353852. Typically, since the preventive agent I is applied to the individual at an early stage of the disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount. The administration regimen can be adjusted to provide the optimal desired response (eg, a therapeutic or prophylactic response). For example, a single pellet can be administered, and a divided dose can be administered for a certain period of time or the dose can be proportionally decreased or increased. As indicated by the urgency of the therapeutic position. Formulating a parenteral composition in a unit dosage form is particularly advantageous in terms of ease of administration and uniformity in the agent. The unit dosage form as used herein refers to a unit that is physically separated by unit dosages for the individual to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined amount of active compound and a desired carrier for the preparation of the desired therapeutic effect. The unit dosage form of the invention is subject to and directly related to: (a) the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic or prophylactic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the field of mixing the active compound for the treatment of the individual's inductivity. . A therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of an antibody or antibody site of the invention is exemplified by a non-limiting range of 10 to 100 mg, more preferably 20 to 80 mg, and most preferably 4 mg.

The antibody is labeled, directly or indirectly, with a detectable substance to accelerate detection of the bound or unbound antibody. Suitable detectable substances include various enzymes, prosthetic groups, fluorescent substances, luminescent materials and radioactive substances. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, phosphatase, beta-galactosidase or acetaminocholine; examples of suitable prosthetic complexes include chain enzyme peptide/biotin and avidin/biotin Examples of suitable fluorescent materials include carbaflorin, luciferin, luciferin isothiocyanate, alkaline ruthenium, dichlorotriamine fluorescein, 5-diguanamine-1- Sulfonium or phycoerythrin; examples of luminescent materials comprising luminol; and examples of suitable radioactive materials comprising 1251, 1311, 35S or 3H. In addition to labeling the antibody, hTNFot can be analyzed in a biological fluid by competitive immunoassay using a detectable substance-labeled rhTNFoc substance and an unlabeled anti-hTNFa antibody. In this assay, the biological sample, the labeled rhTNFa standard, and the anti-hTNFot antibody can be mixed and assayed for the amount of labeled rhTNFa standard bound to the unlabeled antibody. The amount of hTNFa in the biological sample is inversely proportional to the amount of labeled hTNFa standard bound to the anti-hTNFcx antibody. The D2E7 antibody of the present invention can also be used for detecting TNFocs derived from septicemia other than humans, especially from primates (such as chimpanzees, baboons, baboons, baboons and rhesus monkeys), pigs and mice, because D2E7 It can be bound to each of these TNFocs. 149555.doc -44- 1353852 The antibodies and antibody sites of the invention can neutralize hTNFa activity in vitro and in vivo (see USP 6,090,382). Furthermore, at least some antibodies of the invention such as D2E7 can neutralize hTNFoc activity from other species. Accordingly, the antibodies and antibody sites of the invention can be used, for example, in cell cultures containing hTNF〇c, human subjects or with Inhibition of hTNFa activity is inhibited in other mammalian individuals (such as chimpanzees, baboons, baboons, baboons, rhesus monkeys, pigs, and mice) in which the antibody is reacted with TNFas. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of inhibiting TNFa activity comprising contacting 7^11?〇1 with an antibody or antibody site of the invention thereby inhibiting TNFoc activity. Preferably, the TNFa is human TNFcc. For example, in a cell culture containing or suspending TNFa, the antibody or antibody site of the present invention can be added to the culture medium to inhibit hTNFa activity in the culture. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a disorder in which administration of an anti-TNFa antibody is beneficial' comprising subcutaneous administration of an antibody or antibody site of the invention to an individual for biweekly treatment of the disorder. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the anti-system is administered subcutaneously in a biweekly manner. In another particularly preferred embodiment, the anti-system is administered subcutaneously before, during or after the administration of ammonia. Preferably, the individual is a human individual. Alternatively, the individual can be a mammal having TNFa that is reactive with the antibody of the invention. Still other individuals may be mammals in which hTNFa has been introduced (e.g., by administration of hTNFa or by hTNFa gene transfer). The antibodies of the invention can be administered to a human subject for therapeutic purposes (as discussed above). Further, the antibody of the present invention can be administered to a non-human mammal (e.g., primate, pig or mouse) having TNFa reactive with the antibody of the present invention for veterinary purposes or as an animal model of human disease. Regarding the latter, this animal model can be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the antibody of the present invention (e.g., test dose and administration time) by evaluating 149555.doc -45·1353852. As used herein, "the disorder in which an anti-TNFot antibody is administered is beneficial, and is intended to include a disease and other disorders in which an individual having the disorder has a pathology or a disorder in which the TNFot has been shown or is expected to be responsible for the disorder. Factors or have shown that other anti-TNFa antibodies or biologically active sites thereof have been successfully used to treat the disease. Accordingly, a disorder in which TNFa activity is detrimental is a condition in which inhibition of TNFa is expected to soothe the symptoms and/or progression of the disorder. It can be demonstrated by an increase in the concentration of TNFa in a biological fluid, such as an individual suffering from the disorder (e.g., serum, plasma, synovial fluid, etc. of an individual), which can be detected using, for example, an anti-TNFa antibody as described above. Examples of the use of the antibodies and antibody sites of the invention in the treatment of specific diseases are further discussed as follows: A · sepsis tumor necrosis factor has established a role in the pathology of sepsis, and biological effects include hypotension, myocardial depression, vascular infiltration Leakage syndrome, organ necrosis, stimulation of release of toxic minor regulators and activation of clot cascade ^ ^ W-ko ^ ^Tracey, K.J.^Cerami, A.

WO 92/16221 and WO 92/17583), cytokine interleukin-6 (see, for example, PCT Publication No. WO 93/1 1793) or platelet activating factor antagonists (see, for example, Europe) Patent Application Bulletin EP 374 510). Further, in a preferred embodiment, the anti-TNFot or antibody site of the present invention is administered to a human subject, and the subgroup of the end septicemia group has a serum or plasma concentration of IL-6 higher than 500 pg/ml at the time of treatment. And more preferably 1000 pg/ml (see Daum, L et al. PCT Bulletin No. WO 95/20978). B. Autoimmune diseases Tumor necrosis factors are associated with roles in the pathology of various autoimmune diseases. For example, TNFot is associated with inflammation of activated tissues and joint destruction that causes rheumatoid arthritis (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra; Arend, WP and Dayer, JM. (1995) Arth. Rheum. 38. '151-160; Fava , RA, et al. (1993) Clin. Exp. Immunol. 94: 261-266). TNFot is associated with promoting island cell death and modulating diabetic insulin resistance (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra; PCT Publication No. WO 94/08609). TNFoc is also associated with modulation of cytotoxicity in oligodendrocytes and induction of inflammatory plaques in multiple sclerosis (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra). Intended and humanized mouse anti-hTNFa antibodies have undergone clinical testing for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (see, for example, Elliott, MJ, et al. (1994) Lancet 344: 1 125-1127; Elliot, MJ, et al. (1994) Lancet 344: 1105-1110; Rankin, EC, et al. (1995) Br. J. Rheumatol. Μ: 334-342).

C. Infectious diseases Tumor necrosis factors are associated with the physiological effects seen in the regulation of various infectious diseases. For example, TNFa is associated with brain inflammation and capillary embolism and infarction that regulate dysentery (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra). TNFa is also associated with the regulation of brain inflammation, including meningitis, cerebral dysfunction, restriction of septic shock syndrome, and activation of venous infarction (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra). TNFa is also associated with stimulation of viral proliferation and regulation of central nervous system damage in septic disease, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (see, for example, Tracey and Cerami, supra).

All references, patents and published patent applications cited in this specification are hereby incorporated by reference. Example 1: Efficiency of D2E7' Subcutaneous Administration with Anti-TNFa Antibody In this study, 24 patients with RA received a dose of 0.5 mg/kg D2E7 (n=18) or placebo (n=6) per week. Treated by sc injection for 3 months. The study of patients enrolled in this study had an average age of 10.1 years and a disease index (D a §) of 4.87 and an average of 3.4 DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs); again reflecting comparable disease activity. The sensor continued to receive D2E7 open-label treatment, while patients who did not respond to the 0.5 mg/kg dose or who lost the DAS response to the 05 mg/kg dose were given a booster dose at week 12 of the study to s c. injected j mg/kg. The first group of patients was enrolled for up to 60 injections and the study drug was therefore received for 6 weeks. Up to 78% of patients achieved DAS and ACR2〇 responses during the first week of treatment. Subcutaneously administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/week £2) can be reduced by 54 in 12 weeks. /. Joint expansion (SWJ), softened joint number (TJC) 61%, and cRp were 39% (compared to baseline), while all parameters in the placebo group increased. After completion of the placebo control during the study, the patient continued to be treated with sustained efficiency (4) solid month. These results therefore show that subcutaneous administration of D2E7 at a dose of 55 mg/kg/week can safely self-administer the drug with good local tolerance. 149555.doc -52- D2E7 and Aminoguanidine Administration In this study, in addition to its initial treatment with (aminopterin) MTX, a dose of 1 mg / kg sc or iv administered placebo or D2E7. 54 diseases Patients enrolled in the study and 18 patients received iv received D2E7 and sc received placebo, 18 patients received placebo and sc received D2E7 and 18 iv and sc received placebo. The patient received the second dose only after losing her blind response, no earlier than 4 weeks after the first dose. Subsequently, all patients received an open label for biweekly s.c. injection of D2E7. The demographic characteristics of the study included an average RA period of 11 · 1 years, an average of 3.6 DMARDs before exposure (non-MTX), and an average DAS of 4.81 when included in the study. On day 29, 72% of i.v. D2E7 treated patients and 44% of s.c. D2E7 treated patients had reached the DAS standard response compared to only 28% of placebo-treated patients (described in Figure 5). Of the participants in the study, 28% of placebo-treated patients maintained ACR20 response on day 29 compared to 72% of iv-treated D2E7 patients and 67% of sc-treated D2E7 patients, 1 and 3 Maintain its response during the month. Example 2: Total human dose of subcutaneous administration of anti-TNFoc antibody D2E7 was administered subcutaneously weekly. This study included 284 patients with RA and was designed to determine the optimal total human dose for subcutaneous administration of D2E7. Patients were randomized to receive 20, 40 or 80 mg of D2E7 or placebo for 12 weeks per week, and then placebo-treated patients were blindly switched to 40 mg D2E7/week. About 49% of patients had ACR20 at 20 mg, 55% of patients had ACR20 at 40 mg and 54% of patients had ACR20 at 80 mg, and only 10% received placebo 149555.doc -53-1353852. Figure 1A). Approximately 23% of patients had ACR50 at 20 mg, 27% had ACR50 at 40 mg, and 20% had ACR50 at 80 mg, and only 2% received placebo for ACR50. These data indicate that subcutaneous administration of D2E7 (especially at a dose of 40 mg/week) produces a good response. Example 3: Biweekly subcutaneous administration of anti-TNFot antibody to subcutaneously administered D2E7 in two doses at several doses per week subcutaneously (sc) placebo or D2E7 for 24 weeks and continued MTX treatment to explore clinical efficacy, safety, immunogen And tolerance to RA patients who are potentially responsive to MTX. The study was designed for placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, rehospital studies of RA patients with inadequate or tolerable MTX. During the trial, the patient's sustained MTX dose and dose range were included in the specific inclusion criteria below. The study consisted of two parts: 1) a "washout period" 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the drug, during which DMARDs were excluded (except for MTX); and 2) a "placebo-controlled period" during which the patient was randomly assigned to 67 One-fourth of patients received 20, 40 or 80 mg of D2E7 (total human dose) administered every other week for 24 weeks. The doses of each study drug were administered by two s.c. injections of 1.6 ml each. The first dose of the patient is administered by a medical practitioner as part of the patient training. Subsequent doses were self-administered by the participating patients under the direct surveillance of the first 4 weeks. Subsequently, the dose is administered by the patient, the patient designated by the patient, or by a medical professional outside the study site. Dosing for 4 or 5 weeks was assigned after each clinical assessment. On the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 149555.doc -54- 1353852% of the study, 2 weeks and 24 weeks of continuous examination of the patient' while the joint examination was performed by the unidentified assessor The doctor has nothing to do. This study included 271 RA patients. The study population is representative of the moderate to severe RA population in North America: approximately 70% of women and most of them over 4 years of age. The population is selected using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria (as known to those skilled in the art), such as patients requiring RA diagnosis, such as the 1987-Revised American College Rheumatology (ACR) standard (described in Appendix A). Results Figures IB and 2-4 show that biweekly administration of D2E7 with an amine subcutaneously was significantly superior to placebo in reducing RA signals and signs after 24 weeks. All three D2E7 dose effects were statistically significantly better than placebo administered weekly. Furthermore, 4 mg and 80 mg D2E7 have superior effects than the 20 mg dose.
