Definitions

  • the present invention concerns engineered antibodies, with three or more functional antigen binding sites, and uses, such as therapeutic uses, for such engineered antibodies.
  • Naturally occurring antibodies comprise two heavy chains linked together by disulfide bonds and two light chains, one light chain being linked to each of the heavy chains by disulfide bonds.
  • Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain (VH) followed by a number of constant domains (three or four constant domains, CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4, depending on the antibody class).
  • Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one end and a constant domain (CL) at its other end; the constant domain of the light chain is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is aligned with the variable domain of the heavy chain. See FIG. 1 herein.
  • variable domains are not involved directly in binding the antibody to an antigen, but are involved in various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
  • the variable domains of each pair of light and heavy chains are involved directly in binding the antibody to the antigen.
  • the variable domains of naturally occurring light and heavy chains have the same general structure; each comprising four framework regions (FRs), whose sequences are somewhat conserved, connected by three complementarity determining regions (CDRs) (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest , National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., (1991)).
  • the four FRs largely adopt a beta-sheet conformation and the CDRs form loops connecting, and in some cases forming part of, the beta-sheet structure.
  • the CDRs in each chain are held in close proximity by the FRs and, with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site.
  • FIGS. 2 A-E herein depict the structures of the five major naturally occurring immunoglobulin isotypes.
  • IgG, IgD and IgE immunoglobulins possess only two antigen binding sites.
  • IgA and IgM are capable of forming polymeric structures with higher valencies.
  • IgM is secreted by plasma cells as a pentamer in which five monomer units are held together by disulfide bonds linking their carboxyl-terminal (C ⁇ 4/C ⁇ 4) domains and C ⁇ 3/C ⁇ 3 domains.
  • the five monomer subunits are arranged with their Fc regions in the center of the pentamer and the 10 antigen-binding sites on the periphery of the molecule.
  • Each pentamer contains an additional Fc-linked polypeptide called the J (joining) chain, which is disulfide-bonded to the carboxyl-terminal cysteine residue of 2 of the 10 ⁇ chains.
  • the J chain appears to be required for polymerization of the monomers to form pentameric IgM; it is added just before secretion of the pentamer.
  • An IgM molecule can bind 10 small hapten molecules; however, because of steric hindrance, only 5 molecules of larger antigens can be bound simultaneously.
  • the increased valency of pentameric IgM increases its capacity to bind such multi-dimensional antigens as viral particles and red blood cells (RBCs).
  • IgA exists primarily as a monomer, although polymeric forms such as dimers, trimers, and even tetramers are sometimes seen.
  • the IgA of external secretions consists of a dimer or tetramer, a J-chain polypeptide, and a polypeptide chain called secretory component.
  • the art has attempted to overcome this problem by constructing “chimeric” antibodies in which an animal antigen binding variable domain is coupled to a human constant domain (Cabilly et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:6851-6855 (1984); Boulianne et al., Nature 312:643-646 (1984); and Neuberger et al., Nature 314:268-270 (1985)).
  • the isotype of the human constant domain may be selected to tailor the chimeric antibody for participation in ADCC and CDC (see e.g. Brüggemann et al., J. Exp. Med.
  • such chimeric antibodies contain about one third rodent (or other non-human species) sequence and thus are capable of eliciting a significant anti-globulin response in humans.
  • rodent or other non-human species
  • OKT3 much of the resulting anti-globulin response is directed against the variable region rather than the constant region
  • a chimeric/humanized antibody instead of a chimeric/humanized antibody, one may treat a patient with a human antibody in order to avoid human antibodies raised against a murine antibody (known as the “HAMA response”).
  • HAMA response human antibodies raised against a murine antibody
  • Several technologies are available for generating human antibodies.
  • Human antibodies may be selected using phage display technology. Phage display has been adapted to select human antibodies from an unimmunized donor (Marks et al. J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597 (1991)). According to this approach, PCR is used to amplify variable domain genes from mRNA prepared from human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). Primers are used such that DNA from both IgG and IgM heavy chains and both ⁇ and ⁇ chains is amplified. These genes are then randomly combined and expressed as single chain Fv (scFv) fused to the gene III coat protein of M13 phage. Human antibodies against an antigen of interest may then be identified by rounds of growth and selection by binding to that antigen (e.g. to the immobilized antigen). See Griffiths et al. EMBO J. 12:725-734 (1993).
  • “Synthetic” phage-antibody repertoires have also been built from cloned human VH-gene segments.
  • a repertoire (2 ⁇ 10 7 clones) was first constructed using a short H3 loop of five or eight random residues with each of 49 segments, and combined with a fixed light chain (Hoogenboom et al. J. Mol. Biol. 227:381-388 (1992)).
  • H3 loops of different lengths, up to 12 residues, a single library was created from which a range of more than 20 binding specificities could be selected (Winter et al. Ann. Rev. Immuno. 12:433-55 (1994)).
  • the affinity of low affinity “primary” phage-antibodies may be improved by using phage display technology.
  • One approach is to use a chain-shuffling strategy in which the VH domain is held constant and then recombined with the original library of VL genes and tighter binders selected by binding to immobilized antigen. This cycle is repeated by fixing the new VL domain and recombining with the original VH library (Marks et al. Bio/Technology 10:779-783 (1992)).
  • point mutations in the primary antibody may be introduced using error-prone PCR and higher affinity binders selected by using phage display. Gram et al. PNAS ( USA ) 89: 3576-3580 (1992).
  • Severe combined immune deficient (SCID) mice lack the ability to produce their own immunoglobulins due to a defect in the recombinase gene.
  • SCID mice Several groups have reconstituted a functional humoral immune system in these mice by transfer of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). These hu-PBL-SCID mice can be used to raise human antibodies upon immunization with antigen. Duchosal et al. Nature 355:258-262 (1992).
  • mice are turned off and then yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) engineered with large DNA sequences containing human heavy- and light-chain genes are introduced into the mice.
  • yeast artificial chromosomes YACs
  • Such “XenoMice” are able to produce human antibodies upon immunization with an antigen of interest. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,340; US Patent No. 5,591,699; US Patent No. 5,569,825; US Patent No. 5,545,806; and US Patent No. 5,545,807.
  • Human monoclonal antibodies may also be generated by immortalizing a human B lymphocyte producing an antibody of interest.
  • the ethical issues surrounding immunizing humans in order to generate activated human B lymphocytes can be avoided by immunizing human lymphocytes in vitro.
  • human PBLs Boerner et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:3995-4000 (1988)
  • human splenocytes Boerner et al. J. Immunol. 147, 86-95 (1991)
  • Improvements in human hybridoma technology have been achieved by using a mouse-human heterohybrid as the fusion partner (Boerner et al.).
  • Antibodies have been modified in order to increase their antigen-binding valency. For instance, Ghetie et al. homodimerized tumor-reactive monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD19, anti-CD20, anti-CD21, anti-CD22 and anti-HER2 antibodies) by chemically introducing a thioether bond between a pair of IgGs using two heterobifunctional crosslinkers. Ghetie et al., PNAS ( USA ) 94:7509-7514 (1997); and WO 99/02567. Wolff et al.
  • the homodimeric IgG was said to have similar avidity to the parent IgG, but apparently showed an improved ability to internalize and retain radioisotope in target leukemia cells, and was more potent at complement-mediated leukemia cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity using human effectors.
  • Coloma and Morrison Nature Biotech. 15: 159-163 describe a tetravalent bispecific antibody which was engineered by fusing DNA encoding a single chain anti-dansyl antibody Fv (scFv) after the C terminus (CH3-scFv) or after the hinge (Hinge-scFv) of an IgG3 anti-dansyl antibody. See, also, WO95/09917. Smith and Morrison engineered three versions of mu-like IgG3 by engineering either (1) Cys414 of an IgM heavy chain or (2) Cys575 of an IgM heavy chain, or both (1) and (2), into the IgG3 heavy chain gene.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,870 (Rinderknecht et al.) describes a bivalent, linear F(ab′) 2 fragment comprising tandem repeats of a heavy chain fragment (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) cosecreted with a light chain. The C-terminus of CH1 was joined directed to the N-terminus of VH without any extraneous linking protein sequences.

  • the ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases are important mediators of cell growth, differentiation and survival.
  • the receptor family includes at least four distinct members including Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR or ErbB1), HER2 (ErbB2 or p185 neu ), HER3 (ErbB3) and HER4 (ErbB4 or tyro2).
  • EGFR Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
  • HER2 ErbB2 or p185 neu

  • HER4 ErbB4 or tyro2
  • EGFR encoded by the erbB1 gene
  • increased expression of EGFR has been observed in breast, bladder, lung, head, neck and stomach cancer, as well as glioblastomas.
  • Increased EGFR receptor expression is often associated with increased production of the EGFR ligand, Transforming Growth Factor alpha (TGF-alpha), by the same tumor cells resulting in receptor activation by an autocrine stimulatory pathway.
  • TGF-alpha Transforming Growth Factor alpha
  • Monoclonal antibodies directed against the EGFR or its ligands, TGF-alpha and EGF have been evaluated as therapeutic agents in the treatment of such malignancies. See, e.g., Baselga and Mendelsohn., supra; Masui et al. Cancer Research 44:1002-1007 (1984); and Wu et al. J. Clin. Invest. 95:1897-1905 (1995).
  • the second member of the ErbB family, p185 neu was originally identified as the product of the transforming gene from neuroblastomas of chemically treated rats.
  • the activated form of the neu proto-oncogene results from a point mutation (valine to glutamic acid) in the transmembrane region of the encoded protein.
  • Amplification of the human homolog of neu is observed in breast and ovarian cancers and correlates with a poor prognosis (Slamon et al., Science, 235:177-182 (1987); Slamon et al., Science, 244:707-712 (1989); and U.S. Pat No. 4,968,603).
  • HER2 (frequently but not uniformly due to gene amplification) has also been observed in other carcinomas including carcinomas of the stomach, endometrium, salivary gland, lung, kidney, colon, thyroid, pancreas and bladder.
  • Hudziak et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 9(3):1165-1172 (1989) describe the generation of a panel of anti-HER2 antibodies which were characterized using the human breast tumor cell line SKBR3. Relative cell proliferation of the SKBR3 cells following exposure to the antibodies was determined by crystal violet staining of the monolayers after 72 hours. Using this assay, maximum inhibition was obtained with the antibody called 4D5 which inhibited cellular proliferation by 56%. Other antibodies in the panel reduced cellular proliferation to a lesser extent in this assay. The antibody 4D5 was further found to sensitize HER2-overexpressing breast tumor cell lines to the cytotoxic effects of TNF-alpha. See, also, U.S. Pat. No.
  • a recombinant humanized IgG1 version of the murine anti-HER2 antibody 4D5 (rhuMAb HER2 or HERCEPTIN®; commercially available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco) is clinically active in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancers that have received extensive prior anti-cancer therapy (Baselga et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 14:737-744 (1996)).
  • HERCEPTIN® received marketing approval from the Food and Drug Administration Sep. 25, 1998 for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress the HER2 protein.
  • the ErbB receptors are generally found in various combinations in cells and heterodimerization is thought to increase the diversity of cellular responses to a variety of ErbB ligands (Earp et al. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 35: 115-132(1995)).
  • EGFR is bound by six different ligands; Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Transforming Growth Factor alpha (TGF-alpha), amphiregulin, Heparin Binding Epidermal Growth Factor (HB-EGF), betacellulin and epiregulin (Groenen et al. Growth Factors 11:235-257 (1994)).

  • the heregulin family includes alpha, beta and gamma heregulins (Holmes et al., Science, 256:1205-1210 (1992); U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,869; and Schaefer et al. Oncogene 15:1385-1394 (1997)); neu differentiation factors (NDFs), glial growth factors (GGFs); acetylcholine receptor inducing activity (ARIA); and sensory and motor neuron derived factor (SMDF).
  • NDFs neu differentiation factors
  • GGFs glial growth factors
  • ARIA acetylcholine receptor inducing activity
  • SMDF sensory and motor neuron derived factor
  • EGF and TGF-alpha do not bind HER2, EGF stimulates EGFR and HER2 to form a heterodimer, which activates EGFR and results in transphosphorylation of HER2 in the heterodimer. Dimerization and/or transphosphorylation appears to activate the HER2 tyrosine kinase. See Earp et al., supra.
  • HER3 is co-expressed with HER2
  • an active signaling complex is formed and antibodies directed against HER2 are capable of disrupting this complex (Sliwkowski et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269(20):14661-14665 (1994)).

  • CD30 ligand may be involved in deletion of self-reactive T cells in the thymus (Amakawa et al., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Symposium on Programmed Cell Death , Abstr. No. 10, (1995)).

  • BlyS TNF family cytokine
  • Apo-1 ligand is also reported to induce post-stimulation apoptosis in CD4-positive T lymphocytes and in B lymphocytes, and may be involved in the elimination of activated lymphocytes when their function is no longer needed (Krammer et al., supra; Nagata et al., supra).
  • Agonist mouse monoclonal antibodies specifically binding to the Apo-1 receptor have been reported to exhibit cell killing activity that is comparable to or similar to that of TNF-alpha (Yonehara et al., J. Exp. Med., 169:1747-1756 (1989)).
  • TNF family cytokines Induction of various cellular responses mediated by such TNF family cytokines is believed to be initiated by their binding to specific cell receptors.
  • TNF receptors Two distinct TNF receptors of approximately 55-kDa (TNFR1) and 75-kDa (TNFR2) were identified (Hohman et al., J. Biol. Chem., 264:14927-14934 (1989); Brockhaus et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 87:3127-3131 (1990); EP 417,563, published Mar.
  • Those TNFRs were found to share the typical structure of cell surface receptors including extracellular, transmembrane and intracellular regions.
  • TNFR1 and TNFR2 The extracellular portion of type 1 and type 2 TNFRs (TNFR1 and TNFR2) contains a repetitive amino acid sequence pattern of four cysteine-rich domains (CRDs) designated 1 through 4, starting from the NH 2 -terminus.

  • CD40 B cell antigen CD40
  • OX40 T cell antigen OX40
  • Fas antigen Yonehara et al., supra and Itoh et al., Cell, 66:233-243 (1991)
  • CRDs are also found in the soluble TNFR (sTNFR)-like T2 proteins of the Shope and myxoma poxviruses (Upton et al., Virology, 160:20-29 (1987); Smith et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 176:335 (1991); Upton et al., Virology, 184:370 (1991)).

  • Optimal alignment of these sequences indicates that the positions of the cysteine residues are well conserved.
  • These receptors are sometimes collectively referred to as members of the TNF/NGF receptor superfamily.
  • TNF family ligands identified to date are type 11 transmembrane proteins, whose C-terminus is extracellular.
  • most receptors in the TNF receptor (TNFR) family identified to date are type I transmembrane proteins.
  • ECD extracellular domain
  • TNF family cytokines including TNF-alpha, Apo-1 ligand and CD40 ligand, are cleaved proteolytically at the cell surface; the resulting protein in each case typically forms a homotrimeric molecule that functions as a soluble cytokine.
  • TNF receptor family proteins are also usually cleaved proteolytically to release soluble receptor ECDs that can function as inhibitors of the cognate cytokines.
  • TACI Transmembrane Activator and CAML-Interactor
  • Apo-3 has also been referred to by other investigators as DR3, wsl-1, TRAMP, and LARD (Chinnaiyan et al., Science, 274:990 (1996); Kitson et al., Nature, 384:372 (1996); Bodmer et al., Immunity, 6:79 (1997); Screaton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 94:4615-4619 (1997)).
  • Pan et al. have disclosed another TNF receptor family member referred to as “DR4” (Pan et al., Science, 276:111-113 (1997); see also WO98/32856 published Jul. 30, 1998).
  • the DR4 was reported to contain a cytoplasmic death domain capable of engaging the cell suicide apparatus.

  • NF- ⁇ B is the prototype of a family of dimeric transcription factors whose subunits contain conserved Rel regions (Verma et al., Genes Develop., 9:2723-2735 (1996); Baldwin, Ann. Rev. Immunol., 14:649-681 (1996)).
  • NF- ⁇ B In its latent form, NF- ⁇ B is complexed with members of the I- ⁇ B inhibitor family; upon inactivation of the I- ⁇ B in response to certain stimuli, released NF- ⁇ B translocates to the nucleus where it binds to specific DNA sequences and activates gene transcription.
  • the TNFR members identified to date either include or lack an intracellular death domain region.
  • Some TNFR molecules lacking a death domain, such as TNFR2, CD40, HVEM, and GITR are capable of modulating NF- ⁇ B activity. (see, e.g., Lotz et al., J. Leukocyte Biol., 60:1-7 (1996)).
  • Lymphocytes are one of many types of white blood cells produced in the bone marrow during the process of hematopoiesis. There are two major populations of lymphocytes: B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells). The lymphocytes of particular interest herein are B cells.
  • B cells mature within the bone marrow and leave the marrow expressing an antigen-binding antibody on their cell surface.
  • a naive B cell first encounters the antigen for which its membrane-bound antibody is specific, the cell begins to divide rapidly and its progeny differentiate into memory B cells and effector cells called “plasma cells”.
  • Memory B cells have a longer life span and continue to express membrane-bound antibody with the same specificity as the original parent cell.
  • Plasma cells do not produce membrane-bound antibody but instead produce the antibody in a form that can be secreted. Secreted antibodies are the major effector molecule of humoral immunity.
  • the CD20 antigen also called human B-lymphocyte-restricted differentiation antigen, Bp35
  • Bp35 human B-lymphocyte-restricted differentiation antigen
  • CD20 regulates an early step(s) in the activation process for cell cycle initiation and differentiation (Tedder et al., supra) and possibly functions as a calcium ion channel (Tedder et al., J. Cell. Biochem. 14D:195 (1990)).
  • this antigen can serve as a candidate for “targeting” of such lymphomas.
  • targeting can be generalized as follows: antibodies specific to the CD20 surface antigen of B cells are administered to a patient. These anti-CD20 antibodies specifically bind to the CD20 antigen of (ostensibly) both normal and malignant B cells; the antibody bound to the CD20 surface antigen may lead to the destruction and depletion of neoplastic B cells. Additionally, chemical agents or radioactive labels having the potential to destroy the tumor can be conjugated to the anti-CD20 antibody such that the agent is specifically “delivered” to the neoplastic B cells. Irrespective of the approach, a primary goal is to destroy the tumor; the specific approach can be determined by the particular anti-CD20 antibody which is utilized and, thus, the available approaches to targeting the CD20 antigen can vary considerably.
  • CD19 is another antigen that is expressed on the surface of cells of the B lineage. Like CD20, CD19 is found on cells throughout differentiation of the lineage from the stem cell stage up to a point just prior to terminal differentiation into plasma cells (Nadler, L. Lymphocyte Typing II 2: 3-37 and Appendix, Renling et al. eds. (1986) by Springer Verlag). Unlike CD20 however, antibody binding to CD19 causes internalization of the CD19 antigen. CD19 antigen is identified by the HD237-CD19 antibody (also called the “B4” antibody) (Kiesel et al. Leukemia Research II, 12: 1119 (1987)), among others.
  • HD237-CD19 antibody also called the “B4” antibody
  • the CD19 antigen is present on 4-8% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and on greater than 90% of B cells isolated from peripheral blood, spleen, lymph node or tonsil. CD19 is not detected on peripheral blood T cells, monocytes or granulocytes.
  • Virtually all non-T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL), B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL) and B cell lymphomas express CD19 detectable by the antibody B4 (Nadler et al. J. Immunol. 131:244 (1983); and Nadler et al. in Progress in Hematology Vol. XII pp. 187-206. Brown, E. ed. (1981) by Grune & Stratton, Inc).
  • the rituximab (RITUXAN®) antibody is a genetically engineered chimeric murine/human monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen.
  • Rituximab is the antibody called “C2B8” in U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,137 issued Apr. 7, 1998 (Anderson et al.).
  • RITUXAN® is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or follicular, CD20 positive, B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In vitro mechanism of action studies have demonstrated that RITUXAN® binds human complement and lyses lymphoid B cell lines through CDC (Reff et al.
  • RITUXAN® has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects in tritiated thymidine incorporation assays and to induce apoptosis directly, while other anti-CD19 and CD20 antibodies do not (Maloney et al., Blood 88(10):637a (1996)). Synergy between RITUXAN® and chemotherapies and toxins has also been observed experimentally.
  • RITUXAN® sensitizes drug-resistant human B cell lymphoma cell lines to the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin, CDDP, VP-16, diphtheria toxin and ricin (Demidem et al. Cancer Chemotherapy & Radiopharmaceuticals 12(3):177-186 (1997)).

The higher avidity that would be expected for the multivalent antibodies due to the increased number of binding sites is evident in the fact that more OctCD20 remains bound to the cell surface of the cells over time as compared to RITUXAN®.
