Definitions
- the present invention is in the field of medicine. More particularly, the present invention relates to agonistic antibodies directed to CD200 Receptor (CD200R), compositions comprising such CD200R agonistic antibodies, and methods of using such CD200R agonistic antibodies for the treatment of disorders such as autoimmune disease, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders.
- CD200R CD200 Receptor
- Immune checkpoint pathways may modulate both the autoimmune response and the anti-cancer immune response.
- autoimmune disease therapy promoting, i.e., agonizing, the effect of an immune-inhibitory pathway, such that the immune response is suppressed, is desirable.
- cancer therapy inhibiting, i.e., antagonizing, the effect of an immune-inhibitory pathway, such that the immune response is derepressed (stimulated), is desirable.
- CD200R is an Ig superfamily member and part of a family of checkpoint receptors that negatively regulate immune cell activation. Activation of the CD200R pathway leads to decreased cellular function, such as reduced cellular proliferation and inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. CD200R is primarily expressed on the surface of cells of the innate system, specifically of the monocytic lineage like macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, but also on activated T cell subsets such as T memory cells. The natural ligand for CD200R is CD200, which is more broadly expressed on multiple cell types including lymphocytes.
- CD200R and CD200 knockout mice have a normal phenotype, but are more prone to induced autoimmune disease (see e.g., Simelyte et al., Clin Exp Immunol. 162: 163-8 (2010)).
- CD200 overexpression in mice provides resistance to allogeneic transplantation and DSS-induced colitis (Chen et al., PLoS One. 2016; 11(2): e0146681. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0146681). Therefore, increasing CD200R mediated signaling constitutes a potential approach to manage autoimmune disorders that may lead to profound disease modification and durability of response along with key safety benefits over current immunomodulatory therapies.
- CD200R is highly expressed in differentiated, tissue-resident cells like macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells. These cell types contribute to the pathology of diseases such as atopic dermatitis, and therefore CD200R agonist antibodies may attenuate the activity of these cells in diseases such as atopic dermatitis.
- the field has struggled to deliver therapeutically effective and safe CD200R agonistic antibodies.
- the difficulty at least partly, is thought to be the result of the complex cellular interactions required to achieve CD200R agonism with minimal safety concerns (e.g. without inducing cytokine release) in physiological settings.
- CD200R antibodies such as Dx182.
- Dx182 is a humanized IgG1 antibody that agonizes CD200R and blocks binding of CD200 to CD200R.
- Dx182 also binds to and activates cynomolgus monkey CD200RLa (cynomolgus monkey activating form) expressed in murine mast cells, and thereby induces a mast cell degranulation response in these cells via the cynomolgus CD200RLa.
- WO 2015/057906 also discloses CD200R agonist antibodies, such as H2RM147. H2RM147 is likely to compete with human CD200 for binding to human CD200R1.
- CD200R antibodies that 1) bind human CD200R with desirable association and dissociation rates for optimal agonist activity, 2) agonize human CD200R to achieve immunosuppressive response and in vivo efficacy, 3) display sufficient potency as an monotherapy for the treatment and/or prevention of disorders such as autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders, 4) do not cause significant cytokine release, 5) do not block binding of human CD200 and human CD200R, 6) do not bind CD200RLa or binds CD200RLa with low affinity.
- the present invention provides novel anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies.
- the antibodies of the present invention are particularly advantageous over prior art CD200R agonist antibodies in view of at least the following properties: 1) desirable association and dissociation rates, 2) agonism of human CD200R to achieve an immunosuppressive response and in vivo efficacy, 3) sufficiently potent as an monotherapy for the treatment and/or prevention of autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders 4) no significant cytokine release, 5) no blocking of binding of human CD200 to human CD200R, and binding to a different epitope compared to prior art antibodies, 6) lack of binding, or binding with low affinity, the cyno CD200RLa compared to binding to human CD200R, and/or 7) low immunogenicity (i.e., sufficiently non-immunogenic in cynomolgus monkeys and/or humans) and in vivo stability, physical and chemical stability including, but not limited to, thermal stability, solubility, low self-association, and pharma
- the subject invention provides an advance over the prior art by providing compositions and methods useful in the prevention, downregulation, or amelioration of autoimmune and/or immune tolerance related disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders, through immune checkpoint stimulation using a significantly engineered anti-human CD200R agonist antibody.
- the anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies of the present invention are capable of improving immune pathology or restoring immune homeostasis, preferably, through inhibition of the innate arm of the immune response, abrogation of the antigen specific immune process, and thereby directly addressing the underlying disease pathology.
- the use of such antibodies clinically may lead to long-term durability of the disease(s) being treated.

Abstract
The present invention relates to anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies, and uses thereof for treating diseases such as atopic dermatitis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, allergy, asthma, scleroderma, IBD, SLE, MS, RA, GvHD, or psoriasis.
Description
- The present invention is in the field of medicine. More particularly, the present invention relates to agonistic antibodies directed to CD200 Receptor (CD200R), compositions comprising such CD200R agonistic antibodies, and methods of using such CD200R agonistic antibodies for the treatment of disorders such as autoimmune disease, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders.
- Immune checkpoint pathways may modulate both the autoimmune response and the anti-cancer immune response. In autoimmune disease therapy, promoting, i.e., agonizing, the effect of an immune-inhibitory pathway, such that the immune response is suppressed, is desirable. Conversely, in cancer therapy, inhibiting, i.e., antagonizing, the effect of an immune-inhibitory pathway, such that the immune response is derepressed (stimulated), is desirable.
- CD200R is an Ig superfamily member and part of a family of checkpoint receptors that negatively regulate immune cell activation. Activation of the CD200R pathway leads to decreased cellular function, such as reduced cellular proliferation and inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. CD200R is primarily expressed on the surface of cells of the innate system, specifically of the monocytic lineage like macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, but also on activated T cell subsets such as T memory cells. The natural ligand for CD200R is CD200, which is more broadly expressed on multiple cell types including lymphocytes. CD200R and CD200 knockout mice have a normal phenotype, but are more prone to induced autoimmune disease (see e.g., Simelyte et al., Clin Exp Immunol. 162: 163-8 (2010)). Conversely, CD200 overexpression in mice provides resistance to allogeneic transplantation and DSS-induced colitis (Chen et al., PLoS One. 2016; 11(2): e0146681. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0146681). Therefore, increasing CD200R mediated signaling constitutes a potential approach to manage autoimmune disorders that may lead to profound disease modification and durability of response along with key safety benefits over current immunomodulatory therapies. For example, CD200R is highly expressed in differentiated, tissue-resident cells like macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells. These cell types contribute to the pathology of diseases such as atopic dermatitis, and therefore CD200R agonist antibodies may attenuate the activity of these cells in diseases such as atopic dermatitis.
- The field has struggled to deliver therapeutically effective and safe CD200R agonistic antibodies. The difficulty, at least partly, is thought to be the result of the complex cellular interactions required to achieve CD200R agonism with minimal safety concerns (e.g. without inducing cytokine release) in physiological settings.
- U.S. Pat. No. 8,212,008 discloses CD200R antibodies, such as Dx182. Dx182 is a humanized IgG1 antibody that agonizes CD200R and blocks binding of CD200 to CD200R. However, Dx182 also binds to and activates cynomolgus monkey CD200RLa (cynomolgus monkey activating form) expressed in murine mast cells, and thereby induces a mast cell degranulation response in these cells via the cynomolgus CD200RLa. WO 2015/057906 also discloses CD200R agonist antibodies, such as H2RM147. H2RM147 is likely to compete with human CD200 for binding to human CD200R1.
- Thus, there exists a need for alternative CD200R antibodies that 1) bind human CD200R with desirable association and dissociation rates for optimal agonist activity, 2) agonize human CD200R to achieve immunosuppressive response and in vivo efficacy, 3) display sufficient potency as an monotherapy for the treatment and/or prevention of disorders such as autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders, 4) do not cause significant cytokine release, 5) do not block binding of human CD200 and human CD200R, 6) do not bind CD200RLa or binds CD200RLa with low affinity. and/or 7) demonstrate low immunogenicity (i.e., sufficiently non-immunogenic in cynomolgus monkeys and/or humans) and in vivo stability, physical and chemical stability including, but not limited to, thermal stability, solubility, low self-association, and pharmacokinetic characteristics which are acceptable for development and/or use in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders.
- Accordingly, the present invention provides novel anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies. The antibodies of the present invention are particularly advantageous over prior art CD200R agonist antibodies in view of at least the following properties: 1) desirable association and dissociation rates, 2) agonism of human CD200R to achieve an immunosuppressive response and in vivo efficacy, 3) sufficiently potent as an monotherapy for the treatment and/or prevention of autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders 4) no significant cytokine release, 5) no blocking of binding of human CD200 to human CD200R, and binding to a different epitope compared to prior art antibodies, 6) lack of binding, or binding with low affinity, the cyno CD200RLa compared to binding to human CD200R, and/or 7) low immunogenicity (i.e., sufficiently non-immunogenic in cynomolgus monkeys and/or humans) and in vivo stability, physical and chemical stability including, but not limited to, thermal stability, solubility, low self-association, and pharmacokinetic characteristics which are acceptable for development and/or use in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders.
- The subject invention provides an advance over the prior art by providing compositions and methods useful in the prevention, downregulation, or amelioration of autoimmune and/or immune tolerance related disorders, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders, through immune checkpoint stimulation using a significantly engineered anti-human CD200R agonist antibody. The anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies of the present invention are capable of improving immune pathology or restoring immune homeostasis, preferably, through inhibition of the innate arm of the immune response, abrogation of the antigen specific immune process, and thereby directly addressing the underlying disease pathology. The use of such antibodies clinically may lead to long-term durability of the disease(s) being treated.

- In an embodiment, the antibody binds Fcγ RI with a binding affinity of about 70 μM to about 500 μM. In another embodiment, the antibody binds Fcγ RIIA_131H with a binding affinity of about 2 μM to about 5 μM.

In another embodiment, the antibody further binds Fcγ RIIIA 158F with a binding affinity of greater than 9 μM.
- In an embodiment, the binding affinities of the antibody to the receptor are about 70 μM to about 500 μM to Fcγ RI, about 2 μM to about 5 μM to Fcγ RIIA_131H, about 1 μM to about 5 μM to Fcγ RIIA_131R, about 1 μM to about 4 μM to Fcγ RIIb, about 1 μM to about 6 μM to Fcγ RIIIA_158V, and greater than 9 μM to Fcγ RIIIA_158F. In a more particular embodiment, the binding affinities of the antibody to the receptor are about 400 μM to Fcγ RI, about 4 μM to Fcγ RIIA 131H, about 2 μM to Fcγ RITA_131R, about 2 μM to Fcγ RIIb, about 4 μM to Fcγ RIIIA_158V, and greater than 10 μM to Fcγ RIIIA_158F. In a further embodiment, the antibody does not bind C1q. In some embodiments, the binding affinity is determined by Surface Plasmon Resonance at 25° C. In other embodiments, binding to C1q is determined by ELISA.
- As used herein, “CD200R” refers to the CD200 receptor. As used herein, “hCD200R” or “human CD200R” refers to a wild-type human CD200R, and, preferably, to a wild-type human CD200R that has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 15.
- The terms “cyno”, “cynomolgus” or “cynomolgus monkey” are used interchangeably, herein. When used in reference to a CD200R polypeptide, unless otherwise stated, it is intended that the terms refer to wild-type cynomolgus monkey CD200R, and, preferably, a wild-type cynomolgus monkey CD200R that has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 16. The terms “CD200RLa” or “activating form” refer to a cynomolgus monkey CD200R that has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17. CD200RLa is a close homologue of human CD200R but with the opposite (activating) activity. Therefore, a preferred CD200R agonist antibody binds CD200RLa with a significantly reduced affinity compared to antibody binding to CD200R.
- As used herein, “human CD200R agonist antibody” or “anti-human CD200R agonist antibody” refers to an antibody that binds to human CD200R, and when administered in vitro or in vivo, results in an achieved immunosuppressive response such as at least one significantly lessened desired activity such as a desired reduction in IL-8 production. As used herein, the terms “production” and “secretion,” as they relate to cytokines, are used interchangeably.
- The term “antibody” as used herein refers to an engineered, non-naturally occurring polypeptide complex having two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC) such that the heavy chains and the light chains are interconnected by disulfide bonds, wherein the antibody is an IgG isotype antibody. Each heavy chain is comprised of an N-terminal HCVR and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain is comprised of an N-terminal LCVR and a light chain constant region. When expressed in certain biological systems, antibodies are glycosylated in the Fc region. Typically, glycosylation occurs in the Fc region of the antibody at a highly conserved N-glycosylation site. N-glycans typically attach to asparagine. Antibodies may be glycosylated at other positions as well.
- Antibodies of the present invention may be an IgG1 or IgG4 antibody. Preferably, antibodies of the present invention are IgG4 antibodies. An IgG4 antibody may have an S228P mutation within the HC (i.e., IgG4P), which is known to eliminate half-antibody formation common for the human IgG4 subclass.
- The constant region of the heavy chains contains CH1, CH2, and CH3 domains. CH1 comes after the HCVR; the CH1 and HCVR form the heavy chain portion of an antigen-binding (Fab) fragment, which is the part of an antibody that binds antigen(s). CH2 comes after the hinge region and before CH3. CH3 comes after CH2 and is at the carboxy-terminal end of the heavy chain. The constant region of the light chains contains one domain, CL. CL comes after the LCVR; the CL and LCVR form the light chain portion of a Fab.
- The HCVR and LCVR regions of an antibody of the present invention can be further subdivided into regions of hyper-variability, termed complementarity determining regions (“CDRs”), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (“FR”). Each HCVR and LCVR is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. Herein, the three CDRs of the heavy chain are referred to as “HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3” and the three CDRs of the light chain are referred to as “LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3”. The CDRs contain most of the residues which form specific interactions with the antigen. The Kabat CDR definition (Kabat, et al., Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 190: 382-93 (1971); Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242 (1991)) is based upon antibody sequence variability. The Chothia CDR definition (Chothia et al., “Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 196, 901-917 (1987); Al-Lazikani et al., “Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 273, 927-948 (1997)) is based on three-dimensional structures of antibodies and topologies of the CDR loops. The Chothia CDR definitions are identical to the Kabat CDR definitions with the exception of HCDR1 and HCDR2. The North CDR definition (North et al., “A New Clustering of Antibody CDR Loop Conformations”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 406, 228-256 (2011)) is based on affinity propagation clustering with a large number of crystal structures. For the purposes of the present invention, assignment of amino acids to CDR domains within the LCVR and HCVR regions of the antibodies of the present invention is based on the well-known Kabat numbering convention and North numbering convention. In the case of the light chain CDRs of the antibodies of the present invention, the North CDR definitions are used. In the heavy chain, both HCDR1 and HCDR3 also use the North definition. HCDR2 uses a hybrid of North and Kabat definitions. The North definition is used to identify the starting N-terminal site while Kabat is used to define the last position.
- The present invention contemplates that the antibodies of the present invention are human or humanized antibodies. In the context of monoclonal antibodies, the terms “human” and “humanized” are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art (Weiner L J, J. Immunother. 2006; 29: 1-9; Mallbris L, et al., J. Clin. Aesthet. Dermatol. 2016; 9: 13-15).
- A DNA molecule of the present invention is a DNA molecule that comprises a non-naturally occurring polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of at least one of the polypeptides in an antibody of the present invention (e.g., heavy chain, light chain, variable heavy chain, and variable light chain).
- An isolated DNA encoding a HCVR region can be converted to a full-length heavy chain gene by operably linking the HCVR-encoding DNA to another DNA molecule encoding heavy chain constant regions. The sequences of human, as well as other mammalian, heavy chain constant region genes are known in the art. DNA fragments encompassing these regions can be obtained, e.g., by standard PCR amplification.
- An isolated DNA encoding a LCVR region may be converted to a full-length light chain gene by operably linking the LCVR-encoding DNA to another DNA molecule encoding a light chain constant region. The sequences of human, as well as other mammalian, light chain constant region genes are known in the art. DNA fragments encompassing these regions can be obtained by standard PCR amplification. The light chain constant region can be a kappa or lambda constant region. Preferably, for antibodies of the present invention, the light chain constant region is a kappa constant region.
- The polynucleotides of the present invention can be expressed in a host cell after the sequences have been operably linked to an expression control sequence. The expression vectors are typically replicable in the host organisms either as episomes or as an integral part of the host chromosomal DNA. Commonly, expression vectors will contain selection markers, e.g., tetracycline, neomycin, and dihydrofolate reductase, to permit detection of those cells transformed with the desired DNA sequences.

- As used herein, the term “autoimmune disease” or “autoimmune disorder” are used interchangeably and refer to undesirable conditions that arise from an inappropriate or unwanted immune reaction against self-cells and/or tissues or transplanted cells and/or tissues. The term “autoimmune disease” or “autoimmune disorder” is meant to include such conditions, whether they be mediated by humoral or cellular immune responses. “Allergy” (or “allergic disease”) is a T helper 2 (TH2)-driven disease that develops primarily from activity of TH2 cells. Exemplary diseases contemplated to be treated by the antibodies of the invention described herein include chronic idiopathic urticaria, celiac disease (including, but not limited to, refractory celiac disease type II), allergy, chronic allergic disease (such as hay fever or allergic rhinitis), food allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis, MAS, asthma, scleroderma, and also pemphigus, IBD, SLE, MS, RA, GvHD, psoriasis, mastocytosis, inflammatory skin disease, and atopic dermatitis. In other embodiments, the disease contemplated to be treated by the antibodies of the invention described herein include is allergic contact dermatitis, seasonal allergies, anaphylaxis treatment and prevention, bullous pemphigoid and other autoimmune blistering diseases, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, myasthenia gravis, vasculitis, and myositis.

- “Effective amount” means the amount of an anti-human CD200R agonist antibody of the present invention or pharmaceutical composition comprising such an antibody that will elicit the biological or medical response of or desired therapeutic effect on a tissue, system, animal, mammal, or human that is being sought by the researcher, medical doctor, or other clinician. An effective amount of the antibody may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effect of the antibody is outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. Such benefit includes any one or more of: an increased immune tolerance of transplanted organs; stabilized autoimmune disease or disorder; or improving signs or symptoms of an autoimmune disorder, etc. An effective amount can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, by the use of known techniques, and by observing results obtained under analogous circumstances. An effective amount of an anti-human CD200R agonist antibody of the present invention may be administered in a single dose or in multiple doses. Furthermore, an effective amount of an antibody of the invention may be administered in multiple doses of amounts that would be less than an effective amount if not administered more than once. In determining the effective amount for a patient, a number of factors are considered by the attending medical practitioner, including, but not limited to: the patient's size (e.g., weight or mass), body surface area, age, and general health; the specific disease or disorder involved; the degree of, or involvement, or the severity of the disease or disorder; the response of the individual patient; the particular compound administered; the mode of administration; the bioavailability characteristics of the preparation administered; the dose regimen selected; the use of concomitant medication; and other relevant circumstances known to medical practitioners.

- However, doses below or above the doses mentioned herein are also envisioned, especially considering dosage considerations known to those skilled in the art and/or described herein. Progress of the patient being treated may be monitored by periodic assessment, and the dose adjusted accordingly if necessary.
- As used herein, the term “effective response” of a patient or a patient's responsiveness to treatment refers to the clinical or therapeutic benefit imparted to a patient upon administration an antibody of the present disclosure. Such benefit includes any one or more of the following: an increased immune tolerance of transplanted organs; stabilized autoimmune disease or disorder; or improving signs or symptoms of an autoimmune disorder, etc.
- As used herein, “significant cytokine release” refers to a significant increase in measurable cytokines that can be detected by methods known to persons of ordinary skill. For example, significant cytokine release may be detected in human blood samples by ELISA, wherein cytokine levels from unstimulated blood are compared to cytokine levels with blood incubated with antibody. In some such studies, for example, a significant cytokine release may be detected if the levels of IFN-γ are at least three-fold higher in blood incubated with antibody compared to levels in unstimulated blood.
- A potential advantage of methods disclosed herein is the possibility of producing marked and/or prolonged relief in a patient suffering from an autoimmune disorder, allergic disease, asthma, or other inflammatory disorders, with an acceptable safety profile including acceptable tolerability, toxicities and/or adverse events, so that the patient benefits from the treatment method overall. The efficacy of the treatment of the present disclosure can be measured by various endpoints that are commonly used in evaluating treatments for various autoimmune disorders including, but not limited to, American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20, ACR50, ACR70, Psoriasis Area and
- Severity Index (PAST) 50, PASI75, PASI90, PASI100, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Various other approaches to determining efficacy of any particular therapy of the present invention can be optionally employed, including, for example, immune cell activation markers, measures of inflammation, cell-cycle dependent biomarkers measurement visualization, and/or measurement of response through pain assessments.
- Anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies of the present invention can be expressed and purified essentially as follows. An appropriate host cell, such as HEK 293 or CHO, can be either transiently or stably transfected with an expression system for secreting antibodies using an optimal predetermined HC:LC vector ratio (such as 1:3 or 1:2) or a single vector system encoding both the HC and the LC. Clarified media, into which the antibody has been secreted, may be purified using any of many commonly-used techniques. For example, the medium may be conveniently applied to a Mab Select® column (GE Healthcare), or KappaSelect column (GE Healthcare) for Fab fragment, that has been equilibrated with a compatible buffer, such as phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4). The column may be washed to remove nonspecific binding components.
- The bound antibody may be eluted, for example, by pH gradient (such as 20 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.0 to 10 mM sodium citrate buffer, pH 3.0, or phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4 to 100 mM glycine buffer, pH 3.0). Antibody fractions may be detected, such as by SDS-PAGE, and then may be pooled. Further purification is optional, depending on intended use. The antibody may be concentrated and or sterile filtered using common techniques. Soluble aggregate and multimers may be effectively removed by common techniques, including size exclusion, hydrophobic interaction, ion exchange, multimodal, or hydroxyapatite chromatography. The purity of the antibody after these chromatography steps is between about 95% to about 99%.
- Notably, the C-terminal glycine of Antibody I-4P or the C-terminal lysine of Antibody I-IgG1 may be truncated post-translationally. Additionally, the N-terminal glutamine of Antibody I-4P or Antibody I-IgG1 may be converted to pyroglutamic acid.
- The product may be held refrigerated, immediately frozen at −70° C., or may be lyophilized. Amino acid SEQ ID NOs for exemplified humanized antibodies of the present invention are shown below in Table 1.

- Biacore® T100 instrument (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, N.J.), Biacore reagents and Scrubber2 Biacore® Evaluation Software (Biologics 2008) are used for the SPR analysis of Antibody I-4P binding. A CM4 chip (Biacore P/N BR-1006-68) is prepared using the manufacturer's EDC/NHS amine coupling method (Biacore P/N BR-1000-50). Briefly, the surfaces of all 4 flow cells (FC) are activated by injecting a 1:1 mixture of EDC/NHS for 7 minutes at 10 μL/minute. Protein A (Calbiochem P/N 539202) is diluted to 100 μg/mL in 10 mM acetate, pH 4.5 buffer and immobilized for approximately 400 RU onto all 4 flow cells by 7 minute injection at a flow rate of 10 μL/minute. Un-reacted sites are blocked with a 7-minute injection of ethanolamine at 10 μL/minute. Injections of 2×10 μL of glycine pH 1.5 are used to remove any non-covalently associated protein. Running buffer is 1× HBS EP+ (Biacore P/N BR-1006-69).
- Human, cynomolgus monkey (cyno), and cynomolgus monkey activating CD200 receptors are purified using IMAC and size exclusion chromatography. Mouse CD200R is generated by Factor Xa cleavage from a mouse CD200R Fc fusion protein made in house. The final polishing step for the mouse CD200R receptor is size exclusion chromatography.
- For human and cyno CD200R binding, antibodies are diluted to 2.5 μg/mL in running buffer, and approximately 150 RU of Antibody I-4P is captured in flow cells 2 through 4 (RUcaptured). FC1 is the reference flow cell; therefore, no antibody is captured in FC1. Human and cyno CD200R are diluted to 500 nM in running buffer and then two-fold serially diluted in running buffer to 3.9 nM. Duplicate injections of each concentration are injected over all FC's at 50 μL/minute for 250 seconds followed by a 1200 second dissociation phase. Regeneration is performed by injecting 15 μL of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5 at 30 μL/minute twice over all FC's. Reference-subtracted data is collected as FC2-FC1, FC3-FC1, and FC4-FC1. The measurements are obtained at 37° C. The affinity (KD) is calculated using a “1:1 (Langmuir) binding” model in BIA Evaluation.
- For cyno activating CD200R binding, antibodies are diluted to 2.5 μg/mL in running buffer, and approximately 150 RU of Antibody I-4P is captured in flow cells 2 through 4 (RUcaptured). FC1 is the reference flow cell. Cyno activating CD200R is diluted to 8.1 μM in running buffer and then 2 fold serially diluted in running buffer to 63.2 nM. Duplicate injections of each concentration are injected over all FC's at 50 μL/minute for 250 seconds followed by a 1200 second dissociation phase. Regeneration is performed by injecting 15 μL of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5 at 30 μL/min twice over all FC's. Reference subtracted data is collected as FC2 FC1, FC3 FC1, and FC4-FC1. The measurements are obtained at 37° C. The affinity (KD) is calculated using the steady state equilibrium analysis with the Scrubber 2 Biacore® Evaluation Software.
- For mouse CD200R binding, antibodies are diluted to 2.5 μg/mL in running buffer, and approximately 150 RU of Antibody I-4P is captured in flow cells 2 through 4 (RUcaptured). FC1 is the reference flow cell. Mouse CD200R is diluted to 10 μM in running buffer and then 2 fold serially diluted in running buffer to 78 nM. Duplicate injections of each concentration are injected over all FC's at 50 μL/minute for 250 seconds followed by a 1200 second dissociation phase. Regeneration is performed by injecting 15 μL of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5 at 30 μL/min twice over all FC's. Reference subtracted data are collected as FC2 FC1, FC3 FC1, and FC4-FC1. The measurements are obtained at 37° C. The affinity (KD) was calculated using the steady state equilibrium analysis with the Scrubber 2 Biacore® Evaluation Software.
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained. As shown in Table 2, Antibody I-4P binds human CD200R and cynomolgus monkey CD200R with an affinity in the nM range, and Antibody I-4P binds the CD200RLa activating receptor with an affinity in the μM range. Antibody I-4P binds mouse CD200R with an affinity of >10 μM.

- Despite substantial engineering to overcome significant problems associated with lack of cross-reactivity between human and cyno CD200R, isomerization under stressed conditions (driven by primarily by an aspartic acid residue in LCDR1 (LC D28)), and a non-native disulfide bond between HC CDR1 and CDR2, Antibody I-4P demonstrated a favorable binding profile. For instance, a heavy chain and light chain CDR residue saturation mutagenesis procedure using mammalian cell expression was used to determine CDR changes that closed the affinity gap between human and cyno CD200R. This procedure was also used to find a residue replacement for LC D28 without compromising affinity. A second CDR library was screened using a phage-based process, which led to the discovery of non-predicted and non-germline replacement residues for the non-native disulfide without compromising antigen binding affinity.
- CD200R is a member of the “paired receptor family”, which means that a close homologue with opposite, activating activity exists. This form has not been identified in humans, but low level mRNA transcripts have been described in whole blood and testis of cynomolgus monkeys (herein referred to the cynomolgus monkey “activating form” or “cynomolgus monkey CD200RLa”). Therefore, the cynomolgus monkey activating form could present a safety concern during toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys.
- To determine if Antibody I-4P binds to cell-expressed, membrane -bound CD200R from cynomolgus monkey, human, and the activating form cynomolgus CD200RLa, flow cytometry is used. CHO cells are transfected with human CD200R (SEQ ID NO: 15), cynomolgus monkey CD200R (SEQ ID NO: 16), or the cynomolgus monkey activating form (SEQ ID NO: 17) and are selected for high expression. Cells (2e5) are suspended in 1e6/50 μL in PBS for each cell line and FL4 dye (MultiCyt® Proliferation and Encoder FL4 dye) is added. The FL4 dye is diluted 1:5000 for cells expressing human and cyno CD200R, 1:700 for cells expressing the cynomolgus monkey activating form, and 1:50 for untransfected cells. The dye is mixed with the cells and the mixture is incubated at 4° C. for 30 minutes in the dark. The cells are washed twice with 10 mL of PBS and spun down at 1200 RPM for 5 minutes. The cells are then mixed in FACS buffer at 8e5 cells/50 μL/well.
- The cells are incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature with antibody titrations made in FACS buffer. The cells are washed once with FACS buffer and 100 μL of PE-conjugated anti human-Fc antibody at a 1:1000 dilution is added to each well for 15 minutes in the dark at 4° C. Cells are washed three times and then resuspended in 150 μL of FACS buffer. Sytox blue (2 μL/well) is added, cells are transferred to a FACS plate, and run on a Fortessa LSRII cytometry instrument (BD Biosciences). Data is analyzed using FlowJo (FlowJo, LLC) software.
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained. Antibody I-4P binds to cynomolgus monkey CD200R and human CD200R. Antibody I-4P binds to the cynomolgus monkey activating form similar to binding to untransfected control cells. These data demonstrate that there is no binding of Antibody I-4P to the cynomolgus monkey activating form; therefore, there may be a reduced safety concern during toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys.
- To demonstrate the agonist activity of Antibody I-4P, a human monocyte cell line U937 (ATCC, CRL1539.2), is transfected with the cDNA for human CD200R. Cytokine production, including IL-8, from these cells can be induced by immune complexes (IC) that bind and activate Fcγ Receptors. For IC stimulation, human IgG1 isotype control antibody is coated to a high-binding plate overnight. The next day, 4×105 CD200R-expressing U937 cells/well are incubated with different concentrations of Antibody I-4P for 1 hour on ice before added to the pre-coated plate for IC stimulation and incubated at 37° C. for 24 hours. After 24 hours the cells are spun down, the supernatant is removed, and the IL-8 concentration measured using MSD kit (Mesoscale Diagnostics).
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained. As shown in Table 3, the reduction of IC-induced IL-8 with Antibody I-4P as percent inhibition compared to isotype control at the corresponding concentration. The relative IC50 is based on a four parameter logistic fit of the slope of percent inhibition over concentration. The average IC50 from 3 independent experiments was determined to be 0.2 μg/mL±0.02 μg/mL.

- The ability of CD200R agonist antibodies with different isotype backbones to agonize CD200R and inhibit immune-complex stimulated IL-8 release from human CD200R-expressing U937 cells is also examined. For stimulation, human IgG1 isotype control antibody is coated at 10 μg/ml to a high-binding plate overnight. The next day, 4×105 CD200R-expressing U937 cells/well are incubated with different concentrations of Antibody IgG4PAA (the two leucine to alanine substitutions (SLL228PAA) are known to disrupt hydrophobic interactions with FcγRs to eliminate residual effector function) or Antibody I-4P for 1 hour on ice before added to the pre-coated plate for IC-stimulation followed by an incubated at 37° C. for 24 hours. The cells are spun down, the supernatant is removed, and the IL-8 concentration measured using MSD kit (Mesoscale Diagnostics) according to manufacturer's instructions. The IL-8 concentrations are converted to percent inhibition relative to isotype control. The IL-8 concentration are plotted versus the antibody concentration, and a 4 parameter logistic model is used to fit percent inhibition versus log concentration using R statistical software. According to procedures essentially as described above, the following data (shown in Table 4) were obtained.

- Clustering through Fcγ Receptor in the lipid raft can increase the inhibitory potency on inflammatory cells. In order to identify whether Fcγ Receptor interaction is beneficial for agonism through CD200R, two mouse CD200R antibodies are engineered; one to ablate any Fcγ Receptor binding (mIgG2aAA) and one to have functional Fcγ Receptor binding (mIgG2a). Both molecules are tested in two independent models of induced inflammatory disease in mice; contact dermatitis and CD40-induced colon inflammation model.
- Contact dermatitis model: The ability of anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies to treat contact dermatitis may be determined by an in vivo mouse model performed essentially as described as follows (see e.g. Tolstrup et al., Anti-inflammatory effect of a retrovirus-derived immunosuppressive peptide in mouse models, BMC Immunology 2013, 14:51). Male 12 week-old C57B1/6J mice are anesthetized, their abdomens are shaved, and 100 μL of 3% oxazalone in ethanol is applied to the shaved area. Seven days after sensitization, CD200R agonist antibody IgG2a or IgG2aAA is administered at 0.1, 1, or 10 mg/kg subcutaneously (SC), or an isotype control mIgG2a is administered at 10 mg/kg SC for comparison. Four hours after antibody administration, mice are anesthetized, baseline ear thickness is measured with calipers, and ears are challenged with 10 μL of 2% oxazalone in ethanol on each side of both ears. Twenty-four hours post-challenge, ear thickness is again measured. The hypersensitivity reaction is assessed by measuring the difference between ear thickness pre- and 24 hours post-challenges. Statistical differences from isotype control are determined using a 1-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post post test (GraphPad Prism).
- CD40-induced colon inflammation model: The ability of anti-human CD200R agonist antibodies to treat CD40-induced colon inflammation model may be determined by an in vivo mouse model performed essentially as described as follows. Female 14 week-old RAG2N12 (B6.129S6-Rag2tm1Fwa N12; Taconic) mice are injected with 100 μg/mouse anti-CD40 antibody (BioXcel clone FGK4.5) to induce colon inflammation. One hour post-induction of disease, CD200R agonist antibody IgG2a, IgG2aAA, or isotype control antibody is administered subcutaneously at 0.1, 1, or 10 mg/kg. Animals are sacrificed six days later and colon inflammation is determined by measuring the length and the weight of the colon. The colon length-to-weight ratio is used to determine colon inflammation. Statistical differences from isotype control are determined using a 1-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post post test (GraphPad Prism).
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained.

However, the Fcγ Receptor null variant (mIgG2aAA) was much less potent in the contact dermatitis model and had little to no effect in the colon inflammation model. The difference in activity was not due to depletion of CD200R-expressing cells, as the Fcγ Receptor-competent IgG2a antibody was demonstrated in an independent experiment not to deplete CD200R expressing cells in mice (data not shown).
- These data demonstrate that Fcγ Receptor binding is required to provide optimal agonism to the CD200R to mediate an anti-inflammatory signal.
- To determine if the antibody Fc affects the binding characteristics of Antibody I-4P to Fcγ receptors, the binding of Antibody I-4P, Antibody I-IgG1, and Antibody I-4PAA, to the human FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIb, and FcγRIIIa receptor extracellular domains (ECDs) is measured by SPR at 25° C. Antibody I-IgG1 and Antibody I-4PAA have the same CDRs as Antibody I-4P. Antibody I-IgG1 has identical HCVR, LCVR, and LC as Antibody I-4P, but Antibody I-IgG1 has a HC whose amino acid sequence is given by SEQ ID NO: 11. Antibody I-4PAA differs from Antibody I-4P by having a SLL228PAA mutation in the HC.
- Biacore® T100 instrument and Biacore® 3000 (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ), Biacore® reagents and Scrubber2 Biacore® Evaluation Software (Biologics 2008) are used for the SPR analysis of antibody binding. A CM5 chip (Biacore® P/N BR-1006-68) is prepared using the manufacturer's EDC/NHS amine coupling method (Biacore® P/N BR-1000-50). Briefly, the surfaces of all 4 FCs are activated by injecting a 1:1 mixture of EDC/NHS for 7 minutes at 10 μL/minute. Protein A (Calbiochem P/N 539202) is diluted to 100 μg/mL in 10 mM acetate, pH 4.5 buffer and immobilized for approximately 400 RU onto all 4 flow cells by 7 minute injection at a flow rate of 10 μL/minute. Un-reacted sites are blocked with a 7-minute injection of ethanolamine at 10 μL/minute. Injections of 2×10 μL of glycine pH 1.5 are used to remove any non-covalently associated protein.
- The FcγR ECDs -FcγRI (CD64), FcγRIIA_131R, and FcγRIIA_131H (CD32a), FcγRIIIA_158V, FcγRIIIA_158F (CD16a), and FcγRIIb (CD32b; inhibitory receptor) (see e.g. Bruhns et al., Blood. 2009 Apr 16; 113(16): 3716-25) are produced from stable CHO cell expression according to methods well-known in the art and purified using IgG Sepharose and size exclusion chromatography.
- For FcγRI binding, antibodies are diluted to 2.5 μg/mL in running buffer (lx HBS-EP+(Biacore® P/N BR-1006-69), and approximately 150 RU of each antibody is captured in flow cells 2 through 4 (RUcaptured). FC1 is the reference flow cell, therefore, no antibody is captured in FC1. FcγRI ECD is diluted to 200 nM in running buffer and then two-fold serially diluted in running buffer to 0.78 nM. Duplicate injections of each concentration are injected over all FCs at 40 μL/minute for 120 seconds followed by a 1200 second dissociation phase. Regeneration is performed by injecting 15 μL of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5 at 30 μL/minute over all FCs. Reference-subtracted data is collected as FC2-FC1, FC3-FC1, and FC4-FC1. The measurements are obtained at 25° C. The affinity (KD) is calculated using either steady state equilibrium analysis with the Scrubber 2 Biacore® Evaluation Software or a “1:1 (Langmuir) binding” model in BIA Evaluation.
- For FcγRIIa, FcγRIIb, and FcγRIIIa binding, antibodies are diluted to 5 m/mL in running buffer, and approximately 500 RU of each variant is captured in flow cells 2 through 4 (RUcaptured). FC1 is the reference flow cell. Fcγ receptor ECDs are diluted to 10 μM in running buffer and then 2 fold serially diluted in running buffer to 39 nM. Duplicate injections of each concentration are injected over all FCs at 40 μL/minute for 60 seconds followed by a 120 second dissociation phase. Regeneration is performed by injecting 15 μL of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5 at 30 μL/min over all FCs.
- Reference-subtracted data is collected as FC2-FC1, FC3-FC1, and FC4-FC1. The measurements are obtained at 25° C. The affinity (KD) is calculated using the steady state equilibrium analysis with the Scrubber 2 Biacore® Evaluation Software.
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data as shown in Table 7 were obtained.

The binding characteristics of Antibody I-4P demonstrate binding to the Fcγ receptors with affinities that are substantially in between the binding affinities of IgG1 control/Antibody I-IgG1 and IgG4 PAA control/Antibody I-4PAA. For example, the data demonstrate that Antibody I-4P has reduced binding to FcγRIIIa receptor ECD compared to Antibody I-IgG1 (which can be attributed to cytokine release in the whole blood assay) but still has a higher binding affinity to FcγRI and FcγRIIb receptor ECDs compared to Antibody I-4PAA.
- The binding characteristics demonstrated by Antibody I-4P to FcγRs are thought to contribute to enhanced in vivo efficacy without causing significant cytokine release.
- IgG1 antibodies are known to induce cytokine release. To determine the mechanism for IgG1-induced cytokine release, IgG1-Fc mutations are generated. These CD200R antibodies have different CDRs from Antibody I. The antibodies in Table 8 (IgG1, no mutations, P331S, P331S+S267G, A330S+P331S+S267G, A330S+S267G, K322A, K322A+S267G, and N325S+L328F+S267G) have identical CDRs with one another. The S267G antibody has different CDRs from the other antibody mutants and Antibody I-4P.
- An S267G mutation is generated to reduce Fcγ RIII binding (EU numbering: see, e.g., Kabat et al., “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991); and Shields R L et al., High resolution mapping of the binding site on human IgG1 for Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII, and FcRn and design of IgG1 variants with improved binding to Fc gamma R. 2001 J. Biol. Chem. 276, 6591-6604).
- The S267G mutation is also combined with mutations that reduce C1q binding without significantly impacting FcγR-binding (K322A, A330S, and P331S; see e.g. Oganesyan Vet al., 2008 Structural characterization of a human Fc fragment engineered for lack of effector functions. Acta Crystallogr. D Biol. Chrystallogr. 64, 700-704; Idusogie, E et al., 2000 Mapping of the C1q Binding Site on Rituxan, a Chimeric Antibody with a Human IgG1 Fc. J. of Immunology, 164(8) 4178-4184; and Tao M. H. and Morrison M. L. 1993 Structural features of human immunoglobulin G that determine isotype- specific differences in complement activation. J. of Exp. Med., 178(2), 661-667). Additional mutations that reduce FcγRIII and C1q binding while modulating binding to FcγRIIA and FcγRIIB are also generated (N325S+L328F; see e.g. Shang L et al., 2014 Selective antibody intervention of Toll-like receptor 4 activation through FcγR tethering. J. Biol. Chem. 289, 15309-18; Monnet E et al., 2017 Evidence of NI-0101 pharmacological activity, an anti-TLR4 antibody, in a randomized phase I dose escalation study in healthy volunteers receiving LPS. Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2017 101, 200-208).
- Fcγ receptor binding is determined by Biacore®, and IFNγ is determined by a multiplex assay based on the Mesoscale platform, both as described herein. C1q binding is determined by ELISA. For the ELISA, a 96 well microplate is coated with 100 μL/well of each antibody diluted in DPBS (Dulbecco's HyClone) with a concentration range of 10 μg/mL to 0.19 μg/mL. Testing is performed in duplicate wells. The plate is sealed and incubated overnight at 4° C. The coating reagent is removed from each well, and 200 μL/well of casein blocking reagent (Thermo) is added. The plate is sealed and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature (RT). Each well is washed 3 times with Wash Buffer (1× TBE with 0.05% Tween 20). 100 μL/well of Human C1q (MS Biomedical) at 10 μg/mL diluted in casein blocking reagent is added and incubated for 3 hours at RT. The plate is then washed three times with wash buffer before 100 μL/well of a 1:800 times dilution of Sheep anti-human C1q-HRP (Abcam #ab46191) in casein blocker is added and incubated for 1 hour at RT. The plate is washed 6 times with wash buffer, and 100 μL/well of TMB Substrate (Pierce) is added to each well and incubated for 7 minutes. 100 μL of 1 N HCl is added to each well to stop the reaction. Optical density is immediately measured using a colorimetric microplate reader set to 450 nm.
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained (N=1; Table 8).

For example, reducing C1q binding and reducing binding to FcγRIII (or FcγRI) results in a lack of IFNγ release over baseline.
- Clinical toxicity, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), has been associated with the administration of antibodies. CRS, one of the most severe adverse events associated with monoclonal antibodies, is characterized by high levels of immune cell activation and rapid systemic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and can potentially be fatal. Importantly, preclinical models do not adequately predict the potential risk for CRS. Consequently, an in vitro cytokine release assay using human blood cells is developed to mitigate potential risks of CRS after antibody administration. Antibody, in particular IgG1 antibody, binding to Fcγ receptors can cause unwanted cytokine release.
- To determine whether Antibody I-4P or Antibody I-IgG1 induce cytokine release from unstimulated human whole blood, an in vitro cytokine release study is performed. Freshly collected whole blood from six healthy humans are incubated with 100 μg/m1 of Antibody I-4P, Antibody I-IgG1, or control IgG1 antibody for 24 hours. The positive control is a homolog of Campath-1H (anti-CD52) IgG1 antibody known to cause cytokine release syndrome in clinic. The negative control is an hIgG1 antibody that does not cause cytokine release. Using a commercially available multiplex assay based on the Mesoscale platform, ten cytokines including IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-6, IL-13, IL-8, IL-12p70, IL-10, and TNF-α are measured in cell culture supernatants.
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained. As shown in Table 9, incubation of whole blood with 10 μg/m1 positive control antibody resulted in robust cytokine production for 9 of the 10 cytokines analyzed in most donors. Incubation of whole blood with Antibody I-IgG1 induced a significant release of IFN-γ. Incubation of whole blood with 100 μg/m1 Antibody I-4P or 100 μg/m1 negative control IgG1 did not result in significant levels of any of the evaluated cytokines.

- Both CD200 and CD200R are cell-expressed molecules and contain two Ig-like domains. They interact through their NH2 terminal domains compatible with immunological synapse-like interactions occurring between myeloid cells and other CD200-expressing cells. To determine if Antibody I-4P binds CD200R in the presence of ligand, co-binding experiments on HEL92.7.1 cells, a human erythroblastoma cell line which expresses CD200R, are performed by flow cytometry. For the study, 2e5 cells are incubated (pre-treated) with 300 nM of CD200Fc (RD Systems; fusion protein of immunoglobulin 1 Fc region with CD200), Antibody I-4P, isotype control antibody, or PBS for one hour at room temperature. Cells are washed 3 times and incubated with Fc block (Miltenyi Biotec) for 20 minutes at room temperature. The cells are stained with various concentrations of AF647-labeled Antibody I-4P for one hour at room temperature and cells are then washed and suspended in FACS buffer for analysis by flow cytometry.
- The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) is determined for each concentration of AF647-labeled Antibody I-4P, and the MFI indicates the amount of binding in the presence of ligand. Following procedures essentially as described above, the data in Table 10 were obtained.

The Antibody I-4P pre-treatment data serve as a control and demonstrate reduced labeled Antibody I-4P binding following pre-treatment with Antibody I-4P.
- The epitope for Antibody I-4P was determined to be close to the cell membrane on domain 2 of CD200R (data not shown).
- To demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of Antibody I-4P, female huNOG-EXL mice (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Sug Tg(SV40/HTLV-IL3,CSF2)10-7JicaicTac) are purchased from Taconic Biosciences at 20 weeks of age and allowed to acclimate for more than 1 week. Mice are housed four mice per cage at 22 ° C. under a 12 h light:dark cycle and allowed food and water ad libitum. On day 0, mice are anesthetized with 5% isoflurane, their abdomens are shaved, and 100 μL of 3% oxazalone in ethanol is applied to the shaved area. Five days after sensitization, Antibody I-4P is administered at 1 or 10 mg/kg subcutaneously (SC); IgG4P isotype control is administered at 10 mg/kg SC for comparison. Four hours after antibody administration, mice are anesthetized with 5% isoflurane, ear thickness is measured with calipers, and ears are challenged with 10 μL of 2% oxazalone in ethanol on each side of both ears. The challenge procedure is repeated on days 10 and 14. The hypersensitivity reaction is assessed by measuring the difference between ear thickness pre- and 24 hours post-challenges.
- Statistics: Inflammation is determined by measuring the differences in ear thickness from pre- to 24 hours post challenges for each challenge. Percent inhibition is calculated from the mean ear thickness of the isotype controls set to 0% inhibition. Statistical differences from isotype control are determined using a 1-way or 2-way ANOVA with Dunnett's test where appropriate (GraphPad Prism).
- Following procedures essentially as described above, the following data were obtained. As shown in Table below, a single treatment with Antibody I-4P at 1 or 10 mg/kg SC 4 hours prior to the first challenge significantly ameliorated the inflammatory response after the 3rd challenge compared to isotype-treated mice.
