Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel optimized Fc variants, engineering methods for their generation, and their application, particularly for therapeutic purposes.
  • Antibodies are immunological proteins that bind a specific antigen. In most mammals, including humans and mice, antibodies are constructed from paired heavy and light polypeptide chains. Each chain is made up of individual immunoglobulin (Ig) domains, and thus the generic term immunoglobulin is used for such proteins. Each chain is made up of two distinct regions, referred to as the variable and constant regions. The light and heavy chain variable regions show significant sequence diversity between antibodies, and are responsible for binding the target antigen. The constant regions show less sequence diversity, and are responsible for binding a number of natural proteins to elicit important biochemical events.
  • IgA which includes subclasses IgA1 and IgA2
  • IgD which includes subclasses IgA1 and IgA2
  • IgE which includes subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4
  • IgM which includes subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4
  • IgM immunoglobulins
  • FIG. 1 shows an IgG1 antibody, used here as an example to describe the general structural features of immunoglobulins.
  • IgG antibodies are tetrameric proteins composed of two heavy chains and two light chains.
  • the IgG heavy chain is composed of four immunoglobulin domains linked from N- to C-terminus in the order V H -C y 1-C y 2-C y 3, referring to the heavy chain variable domain, constant gamma 1 domain, constant gamma 2 domain, and constant gamma 3 domain respectively.
  • the IgG light chain is composed of two immunoglobulin domains linked from N- to C-terminus in the order V L -C L , referring to the light chain variable domain and the light chain constant domain respectively.
  • variable region of an antibody contains the antigen binding determinants of the molecule, and thus determines the specificity of an antibody for its target antigen.
  • the variable region is so named because it is the most distinct in sequence from other antibodies within the same class.
  • the majority of sequence variability occurs in the complementarity determining regions (CDRs).
  • CDRs complementarity determining regions
  • the variable region outside of the CDRs is referred to as the framework (FR) region.
  • FR framework
  • this characteristic architecture of antibodies provides a stable scaffold (the FR region) upon which substantial antigen binding diversity (the CDRs) can be explored by the immune system to obtain specificity for a broad array of antigens.
  • a number of high-resolution structures are available for a variety of variable region fragments from different organisms, some unbound and some in complex with antigen.
  • the sequence and structural features of antibody variable regions are well characterized (Morea et al., 1997, Biophys Chem 68:9-16; Morea et al., 2000, Methods 20:267-279), and the conserved features of antibodies have enabled the development of a wealth of antibody engineering techniques (Maynard et al., 2000, Annu Rev Biomed Eng 2:339-376).
  • Fragments comprising the variable region can exist in the absence of other regions of the antibody, including for example the antigen binding fragment (Fab) comprising V H -C ⁇ 1 and V H -C L , the variable fragment (Fv) comprising V H and V L, the single chain variable fragment (scFv) comprising V H and V L linked together in the same chain, as well as a variety of other variable region fragments (Little et al., 2000, Immunol Today 21:364-370).
  • Fab antigen binding fragment
  • Fv variable fragment
  • scFv single chain variable fragment
  • the Fc region of an antibody interacts with a number of Fc receptors and ligands, imparting an array of important functional capabilities referred to as effector functions.
  • the Fc region As shown in FIG. 1, comprises Ig domains C ⁇ 2 and C ⁇ 3 and the N-terminal hinge leading into C ⁇ 2.
  • An important family of Fc receptors for the IgG class are the Fc gamma receptors (Fc ⁇ Rs). These receptors mediate communication between antibodies and the cellular arm of the immune system (Raghavan et al., 1996, Annu Rev Cell Rev Biol 12:181-220; Ravetch et a., 2001, Annu Rev Immunol 19:275-290).
  • this protein family includes Fc ⁇ RI (CD64), including isoforms Fc ⁇ RIa, Fc ⁇ RIb, and Fc ⁇ RIc; Fc ⁇ RII (CD32), including isoforms Fc ⁇ RIIa (including allotypes H131 and R131), Fc ⁇ RIIb (including Fc ⁇ RIIb-1 and Fc ⁇ RIIb-2), and Fc ⁇ RIIc; and Fc ⁇ RIII (CD16), including isoforms Fc ⁇ RIIIa (including allotypes V158 and F158) and Fc ⁇ RIIIb (including allotypes Fc ⁇ RIIIb-NA1 and Fc ⁇ RIIIb-NA2) (Jefferis et al., 2002, Immunol Lett 82:57-65).
  • These receptors typically have an extracellular domain that mediates binding to Fc, a membrane spanning region, and an intracellular domain that may mediate some signaling event within the cell.
  • These receptors are expressed in a variety of immune cells including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, mast cells, platelets, B cells, large granular lymphocytes, Langerhans' cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and ⁇ T cells.
  • NK natural killer
  • ADCC antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
  • ADCP antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis
  • the different IgG subclasses have different affinities for the Fc ⁇ Rs, with IgG1 and IgG3 typically binding substantially better to the receptors than IgG2 and IgG4 (Jefferis et al., 2002, Immunol Lett 82:57-65). All Fc ⁇ Rs bind the same region on IgG Fc, yet with different affinities: the high affinity binder Fc ⁇ RI has a Kd for IgG1 of 10 ⁇ 8 M ⁇ 1 , whereas the low affinity receptors Fc ⁇ RII and Fc ⁇ RIII generally bind at 10 ⁇ 6 and 10 ⁇ 5 respectively.
  • Fc ⁇ RIIIa and Fc ⁇ RIIIb are 96% identical, however Fc ⁇ RIIIb does not have a intracellular signaling domain.
  • Fc ⁇ RI, Fc ⁇ RIIa/c, and Fc ⁇ RIIIa are positive regulators of immune complex-triggered activation, characterized by having an intracellular domain that has an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)
  • Fc ⁇ RIIb has an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) and is therefore inhibitory.
  • IITAM immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif
  • ITIM immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif
  • the receptors also differ in expression pattern and levels on different immune cells.
  • V158 allotype respond favorably to rituximab treatment; however, patients with the lower affinity F158 allotype respond poorly (Cartron et al., 2002, Blood 99:754-758).
  • Approximately 10-20% of humans are V158/V158 homozygous, 45% are V158/F158 heterozygous, and 35-45% of humans are F158/F158 homozygous (Lehrnbecher et al., 1999, Blood 94:4220-4232; Cartron et al., 2002, Blood 99:754-758).
  • 80-90% of humans are poor responders, that is they have at least one allele of the F158 Fc ⁇ RIIIa.
  • FIG. 1 An overlapping but separate site on Fc, shown in FIG. 1, serves as the interface for the complement protein C1q.
  • Fc/Fc ⁇ R binding mediates ADCC
  • Fc/C1q binding mediates complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
  • C1q forms a complex with the serine proteases C1r and C1s to form the C1 complex.
  • C1q is capable of binding six antibodies, although binding to two IgGs is sufficient to activate the complement cascade.
  • IgG subclasses Similar to Fc interaction with Fc ⁇ Rs, different IgG subclasses have different affinity for C1q, with IgG1 and IgG3 typically binding substantially better to the Fc ⁇ Rs than IgG2 and IgG4 (Jefferis et al., 2002, Immunol Lett 82:57-65).
  • This process coupled with preclusion of kidney filtration due to the large size of the full length molecule, results in favorable antibody serum half-lives ranging from one to three weeks. Binding of Fc to FcRn also plays a key role in antibody transport.
  • the binding site for FcRn on Fc is also the site at which the bacterial proteins A and G bind.
  • the tight binding by these proteins is typically exploited as a means to purify antibodies by employing protein A or protein G affinity chromatography during protein purification.
  • the fidelity of this region on Fc is important for both the clinical properties of antibodies and their purification.
  • a key feature of the Fc region is the conserved N-linked glycosylation that occurs at N297, shown in FIG. 1.
  • This carbohydrate, or oligosaccharide as it is sometimes referred, plays a critical structural and functional role for the antibody, and is one of the principle reasons that antibodies must be produced using mammalian expression systems. While not wanting to be limited to one theory, it is believed that the structural purpose of this carbohydrate may be to stabilize or solubilize Fc, determine a specific angle or level of flexibility between the C ⁇ 3 and C ⁇ 2 domains, keep the two C ⁇ 2 domains from aggregating with one another across the central axis, or a combination of these.
  • An Fc fusion combines the Fc region of an antibody, and thus its favorable effector functions and pharmacokinetics, with the target-binding region of a receptor, ligand, or some other protein or protein domain.
  • the role of the latter is to mediate target recognition, and thus it is functionally analogous to the antibody variable region. Because of the structural and functional overlap of Fc fusions with antibodies, the discussion on antibodies in the present invention extends directly to Fc fusions.
  • trastuzumab for the 222 patients tested was only 15%, with 8 complete and 26 partial responses and a median response duration and survival of 9 to 13 months (Cobleigh et al., 1999, J Clin Oncol 17:2639-2648).
  • any small improvement in mortality rate defines success.
  • a promising means for enhancing the anti-tumor potency of antibodies is via enhancement of their ability to mediate cytotoxic effector functions such as ADCC, ADCP, and CDC.
  • cytotoxic effector functions such as ADCC, ADCP, and CDC.
  • the importance of Fc ⁇ R-mediated effector functions for the anti-cancer activity of antibodies has been demonstrated in mice (Clynes et al., 1998, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95:652-656; Clynes et al., 2000, Nat Med 6:443-446), and the affinity of interaction between Fc and certain Fc ⁇ Rs correlates with targeted cytotoxicity in cell-based assays (Shields et al., 2001, J Biol Chem 276:6591-6604; Presta et al., 2002, Biochem Soc Trans 30:487-490; Shields et al., 2002, J Biol Chem 277:26733-26740).
  • Shields et al. used alanine scanning mutagenesis to map Fc residues important to Fc ⁇ R binding, followed by substitution of select residues with non-alanine mutations (Shields et al., 2001, J Biol Chem 276:6591-6604; Presta et al., 2002, Biochem Soc Trans 30:487-490) (PCT WO 00/42072).
  • S298A, E333A, and K334A show enhanced binding to the activating receptor Fc ⁇ RIIIa and reduced binding to the inhibitory receptor Fc ⁇ RIIb. These mutations were combined to obtain double and triple mutation variants that show additive improvements in binding.
  • the best variant disclosed in this study is a S298A/E333A/K334A triple mutant with approximately a 1.7-fold increase in binding to F158 Fc ⁇ RIIIa, a 5-fold decrease in binding to Fc ⁇ RIIb, and a 2.1-fold enhancement in ADCC.
  • Effector function can also be a problem for radiolabeled antibodies, referred to as radioconjugates, and antibodies conjugated to toxins, referred to as immunotoxins.
  • radioconjugates antibodies conjugated to toxins
  • immunotoxins These drugs can be used to destroy cancer cells, but the recruitment of immune cells via Fc interaction with Fc ⁇ Rs brings healthy immune cells in proximity to the deadly payload (radiation or toxin), resulting in depletion of normal lymphoid tissue along with targeted cancer cells (Hutchins et al., 1995, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 92:11980-11984; White et al., 2001, Annu Rev Med 52:125-145).
  • This problem can potentially be circumvented by using IgG isotypes that poorly recruit complement or effector cells, for example IgG2 and IgG4.
  • Fc variants should be engineered that not only ablate binding to Fc ⁇ Rs and/or C1q, but also maintain antibody stability, solubility, and structural integrity, as well as ability to interact with other important Fc ligands such as FcRn and proteins A and G.
  • the present invention addresses another major shortcoming of antibodies, namely their demanding production requirements (Garber, 2001, Nat Biotechnol 19:184-185; Dove, 2002, Nat Biotechnol 20:777-779).
  • Antibodies must be expressed in mammalian cells, and the currently marketed antibodies together with other high-demand biotherapeutics consume essentially all of the available manufacturing capacity.
  • the downstream effects of insufficient antibody manufacturing capacity are three-fold. First, it dramatically raises the cost of goods to the producer, a cost that is passed on to the patient. Second, it hinders industrial production of approved antibody products, limiting availability of high demand therapeutics to patients. Finally, because clinical trials require large amounts of a protein that is not yet profitable, the insufficient supply impedes progress of the growing antibody pipeline to market.
  • Bacterial expression is another attractive solution to the antibody production problem.
  • Expression in bacteria for example E. coli, provides a cost-effective and high capacity method for producing proteins.
  • complex proteins such as antibodies there are a number of obstacles to bacterial expression, including folding and assembly of these complex molecules, proper disulfide formation, and solubility, stability, and functionality in the absence of glycosylation because proteins expressed in bacteria are not glycosylated.
  • Full length unglycosylated antibodies that bind antigen have been successfully expressed in E.
  • aglycosylated Fc with favorable solution properties and the capacity to mediate effector functions would be significantly enabling for the alternate production methods described above.
  • antibodies can be produced in bacteria and transgenic plants and animals with reduced risk of immunogenicity, and with effector function for clinical applications in which cytotoxicity is desired such as cancer.
  • the present invention describes the utilization of protein engineering methods to develop stable, soluble Fc variants with effector function. Currently, such Fc variants do not exist in the art.
  • the present invention provides a variety of engineering methods, many of which are based on more sophisticated and efficient techniques, which may be used to overcome these obstacles in order to develop Fc variants that are optimized for the desired properties.
  • the described engineering methods provide design strategies to guide Fc modification, computational screening methods to design favorable Fc variants, library generation approaches for determining promising variants for experimental investigation, and an array of experimental production and screening methods for determining the Fc variants with favorable properties.
  • the present invention provides Fc variants that are optimized for a number of therapeutically relevant properties.
  • Fc positions at which amino acid modifications may be made to generate optimized Fc variants.
  • Said Fc positions include 240, 244, 245, 247, 262, 263, 266, 299, 313, 325, 328, and 332, wherein the numbering of the residues in the Fc region is that of the EU index as in Kabat.

  • the most efficient approach to generating Fc variants that are optimized for a desired property is to direct the engineering efforts toward that goal. Accordingly, the present invention teaches design strategies that may be used to engineer optimized Fc variants.
  • the use of a design strategy is meant to guide Fc engineering, but is not meant to constrain an Fc variant to a particular optimized property based on the design strategy that was used to engineer it. At first thought this may seem counterintuitive; however its validity is derived from the enormous complexity of subtle interactions that determine the structure, stability, solubility, and function of proteins and protein-protein complexes. Although efforts can be made to predict which protein positions, residues, interactions, etc. are important for a design goal, often times critical ones are not predictable.
  • Fc ligands herein may include but are not limited to Fc ⁇ Rs, C1q, FcRn, protein A or G, and the like.
  • variable positions may be chosen as any positions that are believed to play an important role in determining the conformation of the interface.
  • variable positions may be chosen as the set of residues that are within a certain distance, for example 5 Angstroms ( ⁇ ), preferrably between 1 and 10 ⁇ , of any residue that makes direct contact with the Fc ligand.
  • An additional design strategy for generating Fc variants is provided in which the conformation of the Fc carbohydrate at N297 is optimized. Optimization as used in this context is meant to includes conformational and compositional changes in the N297 carbohydrate that result in a desired property, for example increased or reduced affinity for an Fc ⁇ R.
  • Another design strategy for generating Fc variants is provided in which the angle between the C ⁇ 2 and C ⁇ 3 domains is optimized Optimization as used in this context is meant to describe conformational changes in the C ⁇ 2-C ⁇ 3 domain angle that result in a desired property, for example increased or reduced affinity for an Fc ⁇ R.
  • This angle is an important determinant of Fc/Fc ⁇ R affinity (Radaev et al., 2001, J Biol Chem 276:16478-16483), and a number of mutations distal to the Fc/Fc ⁇ R interface affect binding potentially by modulating it (Shields et al., 2001, J Biol Chem 276:6591-6604).
  • Fc is reengineered to eliminate the structural and functional dependence on glycosylation.
  • This design strategy involves the optimization of Fc structure, stability, solubility, and/or Fc function (for example affinity of Fc for one or more Fc ligands) in the absence of the N297 carbohydrate.
  • positions that are exposed to solvent in the absence of glycosylation are engineered such that they are stable, structurally consistent with Fc structure, and have no tendency to aggregate.
  • the C ⁇ 2 is the only unpaired Ig domain in the antibody (see FIG. 1).
  • N297 carbohydrate covers up the exposed hydrophobic patch that would normally be the interface for a protein-protein interaction with another Ig domain, maintaining the stability and structural integrity of Fc and keeping the C ⁇ 2 domains from aggregating across the central axis.
  • Approaches for optimizing aglycosylated Fc may involve but are not limited to designing amino acid modifications that enhance aglycoslated Fc stability and/or solubility by incorporating polar and/or charged residues that face inward towards the C ⁇ 2-C ⁇ 2 dimer axis, and by designing amino acid modifications that directly enhance the aglycosylated Fc/Fc ⁇ R interface or the interface of aglycosylated Fc with some other Fc ligand.
  • C ⁇ 2 hydrophobic core residues that is C ⁇ 2 residues that are partially or fully sequestered from solvent, may be reengineered.
  • noncore residues may be considered, or residues that are deemed important for determining backbone structure, stability, or flexibility.
  • An additional design strategy for Fc optimization is provided in which binding to an Fc ⁇ R, complement, or some other Fc ligand is altered by modifications that modulate the electrostatic interaction between Fc and said Fc ligand.
  • modifications may be thought of as optimization of the global electrostatic character of Fc, and include replacement of neutral amino acids with a charged amino acid, replacement of a charged amino acid with a neutral amino acid, or replacement of a charged amino acid with an amino acid of opposite charge (i.e. charge reversal).
  • Such modifications may be used to effect changes in binding affinity between an Fc and one or more Fc ligands, for example Fc ⁇ Rs.
  • positions at which electrostatic substitutions might affect binding are selected using one of a variety of well known methods for calculation of electrostatic potentials.
  • Coulomb's law is used to generate electrostatic potentials as a function of the position in the protein.
  • Additional embodiments include the use of Debye-Huckel scaling to account for ionic strength effects, and more sophisticated embodiments such as Poisson-Boltzmann calculations.
  • Such electrostatic calculations may highlight positions and suggest specific amino acid modifications to achieve the design goal. In some cases, these substitutions may be anticipated to variably affect binding to different Fc ligands, for example to enhance binding to activating Fc ⁇ Rs while decreasing binding affinity to inhibitory Fc ⁇ Rs.
  • a principal obstacle to obtaining valuable Fc variants is the difficulty in predicting what amino acid modifications, out of the enormous number of possibilities, will achieve the desired goals. Indeed one of the principle reasons that previous attempts at Fc engineering have failed to produce Fc variants of significant clinical value is that approaches to Fc engineering have thus far involved hit-or-miss approaches.
  • the present invention provides computational screening methods that enable quantitative and systematic engineering of Fc variants. These methods typically use atomic level scoring functions, side chain rotamer sampling, and advanced optimization methods to accurately capture the relationships between protein sequence, structure, and function. Computational screening enables exploration of the entire sequence space of possibilities at target positions by filtering the enormous diversity which results.
  • Variant libraries that are screened computationally are effectively enriched for stable, properly folded, and functional sequences, allowing active optimization of Fc for a desired goal. Because of the overlapping sequence constraints on protein structure, stability, solubility, and function, a large number of the candidates in a library occupy “wasted” sequence space. For example, a large fraction of sequence space encodes unfolded, misfolded, incompletely folded, partially folded, or aggregated proteins.
  • Computational screening enables the generation of libraries that are composed primarily of productive sequence space, and as a result increases the chances of identifying proteins that are optimized for the design goal. In effect, computational screening yields an increased hit-rate, thereby decreasing the number of variants that must be screened experimentally.
  • An additional obstacle to Fc engineering is the need for active design of correlated or coupled mutations. For example, the greatest Fc/Fc ⁇ R affinity enhancement observed thus far is S298A/E333A/K334A, obtained by combining three better binders obtained separately in an alanine scan (Shields et al., 2001, J Biol Chem 276:6591-6604).
  • Computational screening is capable of generating such a three-fold variant in one experiment instead of three separate ones, and furthermore is able to test the functionality of all 20 amino acids at those positions instead of just alanine.
  • Computational screening deals with such complexity by reducing the combinatorial problem to an experimentally tractable size.
  • Computational screening viewed broadly, has four steps: 1) selection and preparation of the protein template structure or structures, 2) selection of variable positions, amino acids to be considered at those positions, and/or selection of rotamers to model considered amino acids, 3) energy calculation, and 4) combinatorial optimization.
  • the process of computational screening can be described as follows. A three-dimensional structure of a protein is used as the starting point. The positions to be optimized are identified, which may be the entire protein sequence or subset(s) thereof. Amino acids that will be considered at each position are selected. In a preferred embodiment, each considered amino acid may be represented by a discrete set of allowed conformations, called rotamers.
  • Interaction energies are calculated between each considered amino acid and each other considered amino acid, and the rest of the protein, including the protein backbone and invariable residues.
  • interaction energies are calculated between each considered amino acid side chain rotamer and each other considered amino acid side chain rotamer and the rest of the protein, including the protein backbone and invariable residues.

  • “variable position” herein is meant a position at which the amino acid identity is allowed to be altered in a computational screening calculation. As is known in the art, allowing amino acid modifications to be considered only at certain variable positions reduces the complexity of a calculation and enables computational screening to be more directly tailored for the design goal.

The discrete nature of rotamer sets allows a simple calculation of the number of possible rotameric sequences for a given design problem. A backbone of length n with m possible rotamers per position will have m n possible rotamer sequences, a number that grows exponentially with sequence length.

Results show that trastuzumab Fc variants S239D/I332E, S239D/S298A/I332E, S239D/A330Y/I332E, and S239D/A330L/I332E/provide substantial ADCC enhancements relative to WT trastuzumab and S298A/E333A/K334A, consistent with the Fc ⁇ R binding data observed by the AlphaScreenTM assay and SPR.
  • trastuzumab shows the largest increase in effector function observed thus far, providing an approximate 50-fold enhancement in EC50 over WT for PBMCs expressing homozygous F158/F158 Fc ⁇ RIIIa.
  • Complement protein C1q binds to a site on Fc that is proximal to the Fc ⁇ R binding site, and therefore it was prudent to determine whether the Fc variants have maintained their capacity to recruit and activate complement.
  • the AlphaScreenTM assay was used to measure binding of select Fc variants to the complement protein C1q. The assay was carried out with biotinylated WT alemtuzumab antibody attached to streptavidin donor beads as described in Example 2, and using C1q coupled directly to acceptor beads. Binding data of select Fc variants shown in FIG. 27 a indicate that C1q binding is uncompromised.
  • bacterial protein A binds to the Fc region between the C ⁇ 2 and C ⁇ 3 domains, and is frequently employed for antibody purification.
  • the AlphaScreenTM assay was used to measure binding of select Fc variants to the protein A using biotinylated WT alemtuzumab antibody attached to streptavidin donor beads as described in Example 2, and using protein A coupled directly to acceptor beads.
  • the binding data shown in FIG. 28 for select Fc variants indicate that the capacity of the Fc variants to bind protein A is uncompromised.
  • optimization of Fc to nonhuman Fc ⁇ Rs may be useful for experimentally testing Fc variants in animal models.
  • mice for example nude mice, SCID mice, xenograft mice, and/or transgenic mice
  • antibodies and Fc fusions that comprise Fc variants that are optimized for one or more mouse Fc ⁇ Rs may provide valuable information with regard to efficacy, mechanism of action, and the like.
  • affinity of select Fc variants for mouse Fc ⁇ RIII was measured using the AlphaScreenTM assay.
  • the AlphaScreenTM assay was carried out using biotinylated WT alemtuzumab attached to streptavidin donor beads as described in Example 2, and GST-tagged mouse Fc ⁇ RIII bound to glutathione chelate acceptor beads, expressed and purified as described in Example 2. These binding data are shown in FIG. 29. Results show that some Fc variants that enhance binding to human Fc ⁇ RIIIa also enhance binding to mouse Fc ⁇ RIII. This result indicates that the Fc variants of the present invention, or other Fc variants that are optimized for nonhuman Fc ⁇ Rs, may find use in experiments that use animal models.
  • FIG. 30 shows AlphaScreenTM data comparing binding of CHO- and 293T-expressed Fc variant and WT alemtuzumab to human V158 Fc ⁇ RIIIa. The results indicate that the Fc variants of the present invention show comparable Fc ⁇ R binding enhancements whether expressed in 293T or CHO.
  • a number of Fc variants described in the present invention have significant potential for improving the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer antibodies.
  • a number of Fc variants of the present invention have been incorporated into the sequence of the antibody rituximab.
  • the WT rituximab light chain and heavy chain, described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,137, are provided in FIGS. 31 a and 32 b.
  • the improved anti-CD20 antibody sequences are provided in FIG. 31 c.
  • the improved anti-CD20 antibody sequences comprise at least non-WT amino acid selected from the group consisting of X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 , and X 6 .
  • These improved anti-CD20 antibody sequences may also comprise a substitution Z 1 .
  • the use of rituximab here is solely an example, and is not meant to constrain application of the Fc variants to this antibody or any other particular antibody or Fc fusion.
