  • the invention relates to the use of an active substance that binds to CD28 for producing a pharmaceutical composition.
  • Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies which are produced by hybrid cell lines (so-called hybridomas) which typically have been generated by fusion of a B cell of animal or human origin producing antibodies with a suitable myeloma tumor cell.
  • the amino acid sequence of human CD28 is known under accession No. NM — 006139.
  • the C′-D loop of CD28 comprises the amino acids 52 to 66 of the above CD28 sequence (for numbering see also Ostrov, D. A., et al.; Science (2000), 290:816-819).
  • the term C′-D loop will in the following also include any partial sequences therefrom.
  • a loop or a binding site arranged therein is freely accessible, if for a defined binding partner for the binding site in the loop there is no steric hindrance by the sequences or molecules following to the loop.
  • Regulatory T-cells are CD4+ T-cells inhibiting in a mixture with na ⁇ ve CD4+ T-cells the activation thereof.
  • CD4+CD25+ T-cells Another feature of regulatory T-cells is, compared to other T-cells, a low expression of the high-molecular isoforms of CD45 (human: RA).
  • RA human RA
  • CD4+CD8 ⁇ SP thymocytes are one of the essential sources for regulatory T-cells.
  • the induction of regulatory T-cells is the increase of the metabolic activity, enlargement of the cell volume, synthesis of immunologically important molecules and beginning of the cell division (proliferation) upon an external stimulation. As a result, after the induction there are more regulatory T-cells than before.
  • Homology is an at least 70%, preferably at least 80%, most preferably at least 90% sequence identity on a protein level, a homologous protein or peptide binding a defined binding partner with at least identical affinity. Deviations in the sequence may be deletions, substitutions, insertions and elongations.
  • a mimic compound is a natural or synthetic chemical structure behaving in a defined binding assay as a defined mAb mimicrying the mimic compound.
  • mAbs comprises, in addition to structures of the conventional Fab/Fc type, also structures exclusively consisting of the Fab fragment. It is also possible to use the variable region only, the fragment of the heavy chains being connected with the fragment of the light chain in a suitable manner, for instance also by means of synthetic bridge molecules, such that the binding regions of the chains form the antibody epitope.
  • the term antibody also comprises (possibly complete) chimeric and humanized antibodies.
  • Superagonistic stimulation of the proliferation of CD28-specific cells means that no costimulation, i.e. no further binding event in addition to a binding of a mAb or of a mimic compound is necessary for the stimulation or inhibition of the proliferation.
  • the activation of resting T-cells for the proliferation and functional differentiation firstly requires the occupation of two surface structures, so-called receptors: 1. of the antigen receptor having a different specificity from cell to cell and being necessary for the detection of antigens, e.g. viral fission products; and 2. the CD28 molecule expressed on all resting cells with the exception of a sub-group of the human CD8 T-cells, said CD28 molecule naturally binding to ligands on the surface of other cells of the immune system. This is called the costimulation of the antigen-specific immune reaction by CD28. In a cell culture, these processes can be imitated by occupation of the antigen receptor and of the CD28 molecule with suitable mAbs.
  • CD28-specific mAbs that can initiate the T-cell proliferation without costimulation.
  • a superagonistic, i.e. independent from the occupation of the antigen receptor, activation of resting T lymphocytes by CD28-specific mAbs is known in the art from the document Tacke et al., Eur. J. Immunol., 1997, 27:239-247.
  • two types of CD28-specific monoclonal antibodies having different functional properties are described: costimulatory mAbs costimulating the activation of resting T-cells only with simultaneous occupation of the antigen receptor; and superagonistic mAbs which can activate T lymphocytes of all classes in vitro and in the test animal for proliferation without occupation of the antigen receptor.

  • TH1 and TH2 cells are CD4-expressing T-cells.
  • TH1 cells are also called pro-inflammatory T helper cells and secern the cytokines IL-2, TNF and IFN- ⁇ .
  • TH2 cells support the activation of B cells and secern the cytokines IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10.
  • the differentiation of CD4 T-cells from the above functionally different sub-groups is not only controlled by the available cytokines, but it is also modulated by costimulation over CD28.
  • CD28-deficient mice show normal TH1, but reduced TH2-dependent answers and the cytokine profile of TCR transgenic CD4 cells is displaced by CD28 ligation in the direction TH2. On the other hand, a strong TCR signal will prevent CD28-mediated TH2 differentiation.

  • FIG. 1 shows the stimulation of freshly isolated T lymphocytes of the rat in the form of a 3H thymidine incorporation.
  • the method corresponds to the one described in the document WO98/54225, to which here and in the following explicitly reference is made, and its disclosure contents are herewith incorporated in the present text.
  • TCR T-cell receptor
  • FIG. 1 a is shown the costimulation, i.e. T-cell receptor (TCR) specific mAbs were bound to the plastic surface in all wells. Because of lacking costimulation, the negative control (uppermost line) does not show any incorporation. Costimulation is then given by the addition of CD28-specific mAbs in a dissolved form. The complete range of CD28-specific mAbs shown was used.
  • This series of different CD28-specific mAbs originates from an approach of the immunization and preparation of hybridoma cell lines already described in WO98/54225. These are culture supernatants containing enough CD28-specific mAbs for a saturating binding to 2 ⁇ 10 5 T-cells. From FIG. 1 a can be taken that all of these mAbs are able to activate in a costimulating manner, i.e. to excite the thymidine incorporation in presence of the anti-TCR mAbs. In FIG. 1 b is shown the stimulation in absence of TCR-specific mAbs. This experiment, too, was performed as described in WO98/54225. It can be seen that only two mAbs are able to stimulate the T lymphocytes in absence of a TCR signal. These mAbs have thus a superagonistic activity.
  • CD28-specific mAbs bind to different regions of the CD28 molecule.
  • the mAbs were prepared by immunization of mice with CD28 of the rat; as expected, they all do not react with mouse CD28 (not shown). Since the mAbs can thus detect only such regions of the rat CD28 molecule which are different from the mouse, first a sequence comparison between the CD28 of the mouse and of the rat was made (see FIG. 2 , upper section). The differences between the two species are highlighted. For identifying the amino acids, a one-letter code was used. As prototypes for a conventional rat CD28-specific mAb JJ319 was used, for a superagonistic mAb JJ316 was used (see WO98/54225).
  • FIG. 3 In FIG. 3 is shown the mapping of the binding. Expression plasmids were constructed, wherein a part of the extracellular domain of CD28 originates from the mouse, another one from the rat. This is symbolically shown by bars or lines; on the right hand thereof is shown the binding of the mAbs JJ316 and JJ319 to mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells) transfected with these expression plasmids. In the first two lines of FIG. 3 (m/r and r/m 1-37) the binding of the two antibodies to the “right-hand” half of the sequence is mapped. Both bind, when the latter originates from the rat. In the reversed construct (rm CD28 1-37, left hand rat, right hand mouse) there is no binding.
  • mice were immunized with human-CD28-transfected A20/J mouse B lymphoma cells (see WO98/54225) and in addition boostered prior to the fusion with commercially available human-CD28 FC fusion protein (bought from R and D Systems).
  • human-CD28-specific mAbs binding to mouse L929 cells expressing human-CD28, but not to untransfected L929 cells, analogously to the screen in document WO98/54225.
  • FIG. 4 a shows that the used preparations of the three new mAbs bind comparatively well and also with a comparative titer to human T lymphocytes. It is shown an experiment wherein freshly isolated mononuclear cells from the human blood (so-called PBMC) firstly were treated with different dilution steps of the used mAbs on ice; then they were washed, and the bound mAb was made visible by a secondary antibody marked with a fluorescence dye, said antibody specifically detecting the bound mouse mAb.
  • PBMC mononuclear cells from the human blood
  • MFI is the median fluorescence intensity being a measure for the amount of the bound CD28-specific mAb.
  • concentrations are 1:3 dilutions of a standardized original preparation. It is fully normal that in this test the highest concentration provides a weaker signal than the following titration steps; this has to do with the avidity (bivalent binding) of mAbs and does not play a role in the contexts discussed here.
  • FIGS. 4 b and c compare the capabilities of superagonistic human-CD28-specific mAbs to those of conventional CD28-specific mAbs—in presence and in absence of a TCR signal—to stimulate freshly isolated human T-cells to growth. Again a 3H thymidine incorporation is shown, as described before for the rat.
  • the wells were coated with a mAb reacting with the human TCR/CD3 complex. Thus costimulation was measured. It can be seen that the proliferation does not occur without a costimulation with one of the mAbs (negative control), all three antibodies are however able to stimulate the cell division.
  • FIG. 4 c the procedure took place in absence of a TCR/CD3-specific mAb. Only the antibodies 9D7 and 5.11A could stimulate in a superagonistic manner.
  • this specific preparation of the reactivity is surprising and confirms to a full extent the finding derived from the experiments with rat CD28, namely that superagonistic mAbs must bind to a defined, namely this position of the molecule.
  • FIG. 6 is shown a three-dimensional model of the CD28 molecule.
  • the newly defined binding region is highlighted. It corresponds to the sequence in the box in FIG. 2 .
  • the extracellular domain of CD28 structurally belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily being characterized by two superimposed ⁇ -pleated sheets as a basic structure. The labeling of these bands follows a pattern given in the literature. It is important for the representation shown here that the region identified as an epitope for superagonistic CD28-specific mAbs in rat and mouse is designated “C′-D loop”.
  • mAbs with specificity for the C′-D loop of the CD28 molecule have superagonistic activity, that is, in the meaning of the document WO98/54225, can be used for the activation of T lymphocytes.
  • the superagonistic activity of C′-D loop-specific mAbs in rat and man shows that not the sequence of the epitope, but its position or shape is important.
  • FIG. 7 shows that without stimulation there is no IL-2 production (negative control). The stimulation with a T-cell receptor-specific mAb induces IL-2 production (positive control).
  • FIG. 7 shows that without stimulation there is no IL-2 production (negative control). The stimulation with a T-cell receptor-specific mAb induces IL-2 production (positive control).

  • the respective cell lines are stimulated to IL-2 production.
  • the stimulation did however not take place by means of “conventional” CD28-specific mAbs, since they do not only bind to the C′-D loop, but cannot detect at all the construct, because they are specific for the rat or human-specific sequences which are not included in the construct.

  • the phenotypic characterization of the regulatory T-cells took place by the combination of the cell surface molecules CD4 and CD25.

However, after treatment with JJ316, approx. 20% are CD4+CD25+ (10/(10+40)). Further, the level of the CD25 expression is by far higher than in the control animal. Such a high level is characteristic for regulatory T-cells.
  • FIG. 10 shows a phenotypic characterization in a representation as a histogram.
  • the marker CD45RC was detected, a high-molecular isoform of the CD45 molecule being expressed strongly on naive CD4 T-cells, however weakly on stimulated CD4 T-cells. A weak expression is typical for regulatory T-cells.
  • FIG. 10 a shows that most CD4+C25 ⁇ cells from untreated animals strongly express CD45RC. However, in the case of CD4+CD25+ cells from untreated animals, a strong expression takes place in a clear minority of all cells ( FIG. 10 b ).

For verifying this, a so-called isotype control was performed, i.e. an intracellular staining with a mAb of the same immunoglobulin class, which however cannot detect anything specifically.

  • FIG. 14 shows a comparison of the reactions of human CD4+CD25 ⁇ T-cells (naive cells) to CD4+CD25+ T-cells (regulatory cells) in response to costimulation (anti-CD3+ conventional anti-CD28 mAb) or to human-specific superagonistic CD28-specific mAbs (9D7 and 5.11A).
  • the experiments correspond to those described above for the rat. Beginning at the left-hand side, the first three groups show unstimulated controls (no 3H thymidine incorporation). These are all CD4+ T-cells, then the CD25 ⁇ fraction gained by sorting and finally the CD25+ fraction gained by sorting. “med” means medium.
  • FIG. 15 is represented the course of the active EAN disease under treatment with various mAbs.
  • 7-8 weeks old female LEW rats obtainable from Charles River Laboratories (Sulzfeld, Germany) were used.
  • the animals were immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a part of the myelin protein P2 wrapping peripheral nerve fibers (amino acids 53-78 of the bovine P2 protein, 50 ⁇ l of a 0.5 mg/ml solution, inoculation in the foot balls).
  • a progressive paralysis develops which can be quantified according to a standardized scoring (King et al., Exp. Neurol., 87:9-19 (1985)).
  • FIG. 15 a shows a preventive therapy with superagonistic CD28-specific mAbs (JJ316) and FIG. 15 b a treatment with conventional mAbs (JJ319).
  • the application took place in 1 mg/animal doses IP either on the day of the P2 immunization (DO), on day 12 (D12), i.e. after beginning of the symptoms, or on both days.
  • the various groups comprised 3 to 6 animals.
  • a comparison of FIGS. 15 a and 15 b shows that the treatment with superagonistic CD28-specific mAbs is distinctly more effective than the treatment with conventional mAbs.
  • FIG. 16 shows the results according to FIG. 15 , however with a prophylactic treatment.
  • d-7 is a treatment 7 days before the immunization, d-21 21 days before the immunization. It can be seen that a resistant state can be achieved by multiplication of regulatory T-cells with a treatment within one week before the immunization, not however with a treatment 3 weeks before the immunization.
  • FIG. 17 is based on an approach identical to FIG. 15 , however treatment with JJ316 on day 0 and 4.
  • FIG. 17 a shows the course of the disease corresponding to the representation of FIG. 15 a .
  • FIG. 17 b shows electro-physical properties, namely speed of the stimulus transmission as a direct clinical parameter for the damage of the sciatic nerve.
  • the measurements were performed according to the documents Adlkofer et al., Nat. Genet., 11:274-280 (1995) and Heininger et al., Ann. Neurol., 19:44-49 (1986).
  • the pathological results can be seen by means of control groups in particular in the extension of the N1 and F latencies (see days 0 and 12, open symbols). In contrast, the latencies in the case of the animals treated with superagonistic CD28-specific mAbs (JJ316) remain nearly unchanged between day 0 and day 12 (full symbols).
  • FIG. 18 are shown the results of a therapy of the passive or adoptive transfer EAN (AT-EAN). This is not induced by immunization with the nerve antigen, as described above, but takes place by intravenous injection of an autoreactive CD4+ T-cell clone with specificity for the P2 myelin antigen (8 ⁇ 10 6 , cell line G7) according to the document Stienekemeier et al., Brain, 122:523-535 (1999).
  • FIG. 18 a shows the course of the disease of a control group, under treatment with JJ316 on day 1 (d1) and treatment on day 3 (d3). It is notable that even after the beginning of the disease symptoms, i.e. treatment on day 3, the disease can be stopped.
  • FIG. 18 a shows the course of the disease of a control group, under treatment with JJ316 on day 1 (d1) and treatment on day 3 (d3). It is notable that even after the beginning of the disease symptoms, i.e. treatment on day 3, the disease can be stopped.
  • the infiltration of the nerves with T-cells has been quantified for the three groups, and it can be seen that in the control group this leads to a damage to the nerves.
  • the T-cell counts are considerably lower in case of a treatment with mAbs used according to the invention because of the induction of regulatory T-cells.
  • CD4+CD25+++ T-cells expanded by means of monoclonal antibodies according to the invention can even after expansion maintain their functional properties, e.g. the suppression of the proliferation of “conventional” T-cells.
  • the CD4+ T-cells from human peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC) were purified by means of magnetic separation (negative depletion of CD8+, CD11b+, CD16+, CD19+, CD36+ and CD56+ cells; purity 95%). These cells were then loaded with a CD25-specific antibody and then with a PE-conjugated secondary antibody, sorted into CD4+CD25+++ and CD4+CD25 ⁇ T-cells (see FIG.
  • FIG. 22 b shows that the number of cell divisions in the indicator cells was strongly reduced by the presence of the expanded CD4+CD25+++ T-cells, whereas the CD4+CD25 ⁇ T-cells showed a weak effect only.
