- the three dimensional structures were simulated for variable domains of mu317 and mu326 in order to identify framework residues that might be important for supporting CDR loop structures. Potentially important framework residues were kept as the original murine residues in the first round antibody humanization.
- the previously established structural modeling method for antibodies (Morea et al. Methods 2000 20:267-279) was adopted to simulate 3D structure of anti-PD-1 mAbs based on the known canonical structures of antibodies (Al-Lazikani et al. 1997 Journal of Molecular Biology 273:927-948).
- Vk and Vh variable domains
- PDB database Protein Data Bank, http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
- Selected structure templates for modeling mu317 and mu326 (listed in Table 10) had the same classes of canonical loop structures in L-CDR1, L-CDR2, L-CDR3, H-CDR1, and H-CDR2 to the target antibodies to be modeled.
- Vk-Vh interface residues were used as the templates for structural homology modeling by Swiss-model program (Kiefer et al. 2009 Nucleic Acids Research 37, D387-D392). Certain side chain conformation was adjusted while the main chain conformations were retained. At the sites where the parent structure and the modeled structure had the same residue, the side chain conformation was retained. At sites where the residues were different, side chain conformations were modeled on the basis of template structure, rotamer libraries and packing considerations. After homology modeling, PLOP program (Jacobson et al.
- the structures were also simulated for CDR-grafted 317-1 and 326-1 in order to guide further rounds of antibody engineering to enhance the extents of humanization and/or enhance antibody stabilities.
- the selected structure templates are also listed in Table 10.
- the structure simulations were done in a similar way to above procedure, except that the possible conformations of H-CDR3 were taken from PDB templates 1AY1 for 317-1 and 3CXD for 326-1, respectively, which contained H-CDR3s of similar size and torso region. Energy minimization for grafted H-CDR3 residues was done using PLOP.
- Humanization was carried out in principle by CDR-grafting.
- mutations from murine to human amino acid residues in framework sequences of variable regions was guided by the simulated 3D structures, and only the murine amino acid residues whose changes retain the overall antibody and CDR loop structure were mutated to human sequence as described above.
- the initial versions of humanized mAbs were hu317-1 (SEQ NO 47-50) and hu326-1 (SEQ NO 55-58), which comprise a heavy chain with humanized variable heavy chain (Vh) fused to human IgG2 constant region (NCBI accession No.
- FACS and functional assays demonstrated that mAb hu317-1 almost retained the same binding and functional activity as the mu317 and ch317.
- the EC 50 difference in FACS analysis between mu317 versus ch317 and hu317-1 may be interpreted by the fact that two different detection antibodies, a goat anti-mouse IgG and a goat anti-human IgG, were used in FACS. In the two functional assays, all three versions of 317 were treated more equal, and the results also close to each other (Table 11).
- mAb hu326-1 retained similar functional feature to the parental ch326 and mu326 although functional activity in FACS binding assay and in HuT78/PD-1 cell-based IL-2 release assay may be slightly weaker than ch326 (Table 12).
- hu326-1 reached significant humanization level in the FR except for a few of murine AA residues left. Yet, it has weaker function than the mu326. Therefore, we made more individual mutations either back to murine residues or forward to human residues to explore the contribution of each individual AA to mAb326 function.
- Table 14 presented all single AA mutations made based on hu326-1_Vh template (SEQ NO 56, SEQ NO 57) and their functional assay results. Majority of the mutations showed better functional activity than those of hu326-1, matching the original mu326 mAb.
- a couple of mutations (E46K and F95Y) showed slightly less potency in the EC 50 or IC 50 , indicating the role of those residues in the antibody structure and function.
- Vh and V ⁇ sequence composition for mAbs 317 and 326 that could be used as therapeutics in human, we made a variety of combination mutations (including some mutations in the CDR sequences) in considerations of the antibody features, such as humanization level in FR, functional activities, physicochemical properties, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicy (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Most of the mutations were deemed not passing the qualification standards.

- PD-1 blocking antibodies linked to naturally occurring type of IgG- ⁇ Fc moieties are expected to induce ⁇ Fc -mediated effector functions, such as ADCC and CDC, to a variable degree depending on the IgG subclasses, which results in elimination of activated T cells (Natsume A, et al, 2009 Drug Des Devel Ther. 3: 7-16).
- Human antibody subclass IgG4 was shown in many previous reports that it has modest ADCC and almost no CDC effector function (Moore GL, et al. 2010 MAbs, 2:181-189).
- natural IgG4 was found less stable in stress conditions such as in acidic buffer or under increasing temperature (Angal, S.
- IgG4 Fab arm exchange
- Fab arm exchange Van der Neut Kolfschoten M, et al. 2007 Science, 317:1554-157.
- the mutation of serine to proline at position 228 (EU numbering system) appeared inhibitory to the IgG4 heavy chain separation (Angal, S. 1993 Mol Immunol, 30:105-108; Aalberse et al. 2002 Immunol, 105:9-19).
- IgG4 isoforms in human population may also elicit different physicochemical properties (Brusco, A. et al. 1998 Eur J Immunogenet, 25:349-55; Aalberse et al. 2002 Immunol, 105:9-19).
- lumping all the mutations and isoforms previously discovered into a specific antibody does not warrant for an ideal antibody molecule to share all the features for therapeutics such as described above, which may be resulted from contradictory effect of the combined mutations and from impact of variable region to the effector function and physicochemical properties of an antibody (Igawa T. et al., 2010 Prot Eng Design Select, 23:385-392; Perchiacca J.M. and Tessier P.M., 2012 Ann Rev Biomol Eng 3:263-286).
- ADCC is initiated when an antibody binds to cell surface target protein followed by ligation to Fc ⁇ receptors (Fc ⁇ Rs) expressed on effector cells.
- Fc ⁇ Rs Fc ⁇ receptors
- human IgG1 has significantly higher binding affinity to Fc ⁇ Rs than IgG2 and IgG4, specially, binding to Fc ⁇ R-I and Fc ⁇ R-IIIA, which correlated to the strength of IgG1 to activate ADCC.
- Reminiscent of ADCC CDC is activated when an antibody cross-links a cell surface target and C1q protein, which followed by a cascade reaction of complement complex formation and target cell lysis.
- assays for antibody binding to Fc ⁇ Rs and C1q may serve as the fundamental indicator of ADCC and CDC. We therefore systematically assessed the mAbs binding to all the major Fc ⁇ Rs.
- Binding of various IgG4 mutants to Fc ⁇ Rs was determined by flow cytometry.
- a series of HEK293 transfectants expressing human Fc ⁇ Rs were established. These transfectants expressed Fc ⁇ RI, Fc ⁇ RIIA, Fc ⁇ RIIB or Fc ⁇ RIIIA.
- Multi-subunit Fc ⁇ Rs i.e., Fc ⁇ RI and Fc ⁇ RIIIA
- Fc ⁇ R ⁇ i.e., Fc ⁇ RI and Fc ⁇ RIIIA
- Polymorphic variants i.e., Fc ⁇ RIIA H131 and R131, Fc ⁇ RIIIA F158 and V158 were also included.
- a secondary antibody (goat anti-human IgG F(ab)′2-Alexa Fluor 488, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) was used to detect the binding of anti-PD-1 mAbs with modified IgG4 variants (Table 19) to Fc ⁇ R+ HEK293 cells.
- anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG1 format hu317-1/IgG1 and hu317-4B6/IgG1
- hu317-4B6 and hu326-4A3 were made in IgG4mt10 format, they have the lowest binding activity to Fc ⁇ Rs among the PD-1 mAbs and IgG variant formats listed in the table, as well as many other humanization mAbs and IgG formats we have tested in the study.
- the uniqueness of hu317-4B6 and hu326-4A3 in IgG4mt10 format in this regard may not be extended to the same family of humanization mAbs with somewhat distant sequence homology, such as hu317-1, as described above.

- NK92MI/CD16V cells which were generated from NK92MI cells (ATCC) by co-transducing expression plasmids containing CD16 (V158 allele) and FcRy genes, were used as effector cells, and PD-1-expressing T cell line, HuT78/PD-1, was used as target cells.
- NK92MI/CD16V cells (4 ⁇ 10 4 ) were co-cultured with equal number of HuT78/PD-1 cells in 96-well V-bottom plates for 5h. Cytotoxicity was determined by LDH release assay described in previous section.
- Human IgG4 antibodies in general, do not induce any CDC via classical pathway. Whether anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4mt10 format will trigger CDC was evaluated using a PD-1-expressing T cell line, Hut78/PD-1, and fresh human serum from healthy donors. Cell lysis by CDC was determined by Celltiter glo assay kits (Promega, Beijing, China). In brief, HuT78/PD-1 cells (2 ⁇ 10 4 ) were incubated in serum-free RPMI1640 (Invitrogen) with anti-PD-1 Abs (10 ⁇ g/ml) at 37° C.
- PBMCs isolated from healthy donors were preactivated with anti-CD3 Ab OKT3 (40 ng/ml) for 3 days before co-culture with anti-PD-1 Abs plus NHS.

- Example 10 Humanized Anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4mt10 Format Have Enhanced Stability Under Stress Conditions
- Anti-PD-1 antibodies used in stability studies were all purified from protein A column followed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) as described in previous sections. Following purification, the aggregate contents of purified antibody samples were monitored in analytical size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC), which fell within the range of 0%-0.5%.
- the antibody samples were analyzed using a TSKgel G3000 SWXL column (7.8 ⁇ 300 mm, Cat. No. 08541, Tosoh Bioscience, Shanghai, China) under isocratic elution condition (elution buffer 0.2 M sodium phosphate, pH7.2), and subsequent detection at UV-215 nm.
- 10 microliters of antibody sample was loaded onto the column and eluted at a flow rate of 1 mL/minute.
- the dimer or larger aggregate species of antibody were separated from monomeric species and the percentages of dimers and aggregates were determined based on the integrated peak areas from UV traces.
- anti-PD-1 antibodies (10-40 mg/mL in PBS) were kept in incubators at 40-50oC for 4-7 days in order to test the stability of antibodies in high temperature condition.
- the antibody samples were then analyzed for heat-induced formation of dimer and aggregates in SEC-HPLC.
- Antibody stability in acidic condition has been a key challenge in the downstream manufacturing process (Liu et al. 2010 mAbs 2:480-499). Antibody elution from protein A and inactivation of virus usually require incubation of antibody in low pH (2.5-4) conditions. However, such acidic conditions could potentially cause antibody denaturation and aggregation. Human IgG4 has been known to be less stable than IgG1 and IgG2 (2002 Immunology 105:9). Therefore, we assayed the humanized mAbs made with various IgG4 mutant forms.
- Antibody stabilities in low pH conditions were studied by 1:1 volume of each antibody sample (10 mg/mL in PBS) mixed with low pH buffers containing 50 mM sodium citrate, 100 mM NaCl at pH3.6, 3.3, 3.0 or 2.7, respectively. After 1 hour incubation at room temperature, the antibody samples in low pH conditions were neutralized by 1:5 dilution into SEC-HPLC elution buffer containing 0.2 M sodium phosphate, pH7.2. SEC-HPLC analyses were done as described above and percentages of dimers and aggregates induced by low pH conditions were quantified. The anti-PD-1 mAb 317-4B6 in IgG1 format was most stable in bioprocessing-relevant acidic conditions even when pH value get as low as 2.7.
- hu317-4B6/IgG4mt10 and hu326-4A3/IgG4mt10 were the most stable under the acidic buffer condition (Table 21) as the acid-induced aggregates were significantly reduced to a level that was comparable to that of the IgG1 format of anti-PD-1 mAbs, 317-4B6 and 326-4A3, i.e. the soluble aggregate is less than 2% (Table 21).
- the mutant PD-1/Fc and PD-1/His ( FIG. 1 ) were used as templates for PCR-guided mutagenesis or rolling-circle mutagenesis using Fast Mutagenesis System (Cat. No. FM111, Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). All mutants were sub-cloned in our pcDNA-based expression vectors, and verified by sequencing.
- the mutated and wild-type PD-1 proteins were expressed by transient transfection (described in Example 1), and prepared after 4 to 6 days of culture.
- the conditioned media (CM) were analyzed by Western blot to verify the PD-1 protein expression in terms of quality and quantity.
- the supernatants (CM), after clearing cell debris, were directly used in ELISA analysis or Western blot for epitope-mapping.
- ELISA assays using the wild-type (WT) and mutant (Mt) PD-1 were performed to assess the binding activities of hu317-4B5, hu317-4B6, hu326-3B1 and hu326-4A3.
- two reference antibody Reference Ab-1 and Reference Ab-2 from US8008449B2 and US8168757B2, respectively
- Equal volume of CM containing WT or Mt PD-1 was coated in 96-well plate for all mAbs in the same ELISA assay.
- the significant or very significant epitopes whose mutations resulted in low binding signals in ELISA, also gave weakest Western Blot band comparing to the binding to other mutant PD-1 ( FIG. 8 ).
- Some minor differences between ELISA and Western Blot were also observed, e.g., the ELISA binding signals on I93A and E103A by reference Ab-2 were relatively stronger than those in Western Blot. It may be indicative of that those AA residues may also contribute to the binding because whose mutations impacted the binding though only under stress condition (i.e. denaturation or losing native conformation).
- the anti-PD-1 mAbs in this invention have identifiable binding epitopes differing from other anti-PD-1 antibody.
- the humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs at various stages retained similar functional activities as assessed by ELISA, FACS and immune cell-based cytokine release assays.
- Humanized anti-PD-1 mAb Activates Human PBMCs and Inhibits Tumor Growth in a Mouse Xenograft Cancer Model in Vivo
- mice bearing tumor size between 100-250 mm 3 were randomized and divided into three treatment groups.

- The contents of the electronic sequence listing submitted herewith (filename: BEIG_005_09US_SeqList_ST26.xml, date of creation: Apr. 28, 2023, file size 112,308 bytes) are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- Programmed Death-1 (PD-1, also termed as CD279) is a 55 KD receptor protein related to CD28/CTLA4 co-stimulatory/inhibitory receptor family (Blank et al., 2005 Cancer Immunol Immunother 54:307-314). The genes and cDNAs coding for PD-1 were cloned and characterized in mouse and human (Ishida et al., 1992 EMBO J 11:3887-3395; Shinohara et al., 1994 Genomics 23:704-706). The full length PD-1 contains 288 amino acid residues (NCBI accession number: NP_005009). Its extracellular domain consists of amino acid residues 1-167, and the cytoplasmic C-terminal tail comprises residues 191-288, which has two hypothetical immune-regulatory motifs, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM; Vivier et al., 1997 Immunol Today 18:286-291) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motif (ITSM; Chemnitz et al., 2004 J Immunol 173:945-954).
- To date, two sequence-related ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC), have been identified to specifically interact with PD-1, inducing intracellular signal transduction that inhibits CD3 and CD28 mediated T-cell activation (Riley, 2009 Immunol Rev 229:114-125), which, in turn, attenuates T-cell activities, for example, reduction of cell proliferation, IL-2 and IFN-γ secretion, as well as other growth factor and cytokine secretion.
- Expression of PD-1 was frequently found in immune cells such as T-cells, B-cells, monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. It was rarely expressed in other human tissues, such as muscle, epithelium, neuronal tissues, etc. Furthermore, high level of PD-1 expression is often associated with activation of immune cells. For example, when human T-cell line, Jurkat, was activated by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) or phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, or TPA), the expression of PD-1 was up-regulated visible in Western Blot (Vibharka et al., 1997 Exp Cell Res 232:25-28). The same phenomenon was observed in stimulated murine T-and B-lymphocytes and in primary human CD4+ T-cells upon stimulation by anti-CD3 antibody (Agata et al., 1996 Int Immunol 8:765-772; Bennett et al., 2003 J Immunol 170:711-118). The increase of PD-1 expression following stimulation of T effector cells redirects the activated T-effector cells towards exhaustion and reduced immune activities. Therefore, PD-1 mediated inhibitory signal plays an important role in immune tolerance (Bour-Jordan et al., 2011 Immunol Rev 241:180-205).
- Increase of PD-1 expression in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and PD-1 ligand expression in tumor cells were reported in varieties of cancers involved in different types of tissues and organs such as lung (Konishi et al., 2004 Clin Cancer Res 10:5094-5100), liver (Shi et al., 2008 Int J Cancer 128:887-896; Gao et al., 2009 Clin Cancer Res 15:971-979), stomach (Wu et al., 2006 Acta Histochem 108:19-24), kidney (Thompson et al., 2004 Proc Natl Acad Sci 101:17174-17179; Thompson et al., 2007 Clin Cancer Res 13:1757-1761), breast (Ghebeh et al., 2006 Neoplasia 8:190-198), ovary (Hamanishi et al. 2007 Proc Natl Acad Sci 104:3360-3365), pancreas (Nomi et al., 2007 Clin Cancer Res 13:2151-2157), melanocytes (Hino et al., 2010 Cancer 116:1757-1766) and esophagus (Ohigashi et al., 2005 Clin Cancer Res 11:2947-2953). More frequently, the increased expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in those cancers is associated with poor prognosis of patient survival outcome. Transgenic mice with PD-1 gene knockout inhibiting xenograft cancer cell growth further elucidated the significance of PD-1 signaling in the modulation of immune system for cancer eradication or tolerance (Zhang et al., 2009 Blood 114:1545-1552).
- Not only does up-regulation of PD-1 signaling leads to immune tolerance to cancerous growth, but also to viral infection and expansion in human. The prevalent liver infection viruses, HBV and HCV, induce overexpression of PD-1 ligands in hepatocytes and activate PD-1 signaling in T-effector cells, resulting in T-cell exhaustion and tolerance to the viral infection (Boni et al., 2007 J Virol 81:4215-4225; Golden-Mason et al., 2008 J Immunol 180:3637-3641). Likewise, HIV infection frequently evades human immune system by similar mechanisms. Therapeutic modulation of PD-1 signaling by antagonist molecules may revert immune cells from tolerance, and reactivated to eradicate cancer and chronic viral infection (Blank et al., 2005 Cancer Immunol Immunother 54:307-314; Okazaki et al., 2007 Int Immunol 19:813-824).

Methods described in Example 12. - PD-1 initiates inhibitory signaling in immune cells when engaged by its ligands, PD-L1 or PD-L2. In the cases of cancer outgrowth and viral infection, the activation of PD-1 signaling promotes immune tolerance, leading to the cancers or virus-infected cells escaping from immune surveillance and cancer metastasis or viral load increase. Inhibition of PD-1 mediated cellular signaling by therapeutic agents can activate immune cells including T-cells, B-cells and NK cells, and therefore enhance immune cell functions inhibiting cancer cell growth or viral infection, and restore immune surveillance and immune memory function to treat such human diseases.
- The invention provides antibodies whose functions are antagonistic to the ligand-induced and PD-1-mediated cellular signaling in immune cells. Murine anti-PD-1 antibodies were humanized to a high degree of similarity to human antibodies in the framework regions. The full antibodies made in the modified human IgG4 variant format have a unique set of features in the aspects of effector functions and physicochemical properties. The disclosed anti-PD-1 antibodies are suitable for therapeutic uses in cancer treatment, controlling viral infections and other human diseases that are mechanistically involved in exacerbated immune tolerance.
- Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies) and antibody fragments so long as they recognize PD-1. An antibody molecule is usually monospecific, but may also be described as idiospecific, heterospecific, or polyspecific. Antibody molecules bind by means of specific binding sites to specific antigenic determinants or epitopes on antigens. “Antibody fragments” comprise a portion of a full length antibody, generally the antigen binding or variable region thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab′, F(ab′).sub.2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
- Natural and engineered antibody structures are well known in the art, e.g. Strohl et al., Therapeutic antibody engineering: Current and future advances driving the strongest growth area in the pharmaceutical industry, Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomedicine No. 11, October 2012; Holliger et al.
Nature Biotechnol 23, 1126 -1136 (2005); Chames et al. Br J Pharmacol. 2009 May; 157(2): 220-233. - Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) may be obtained by methods known to those skilled in the art. See, for example Kohler et al (1975); U.S. Pat. No. 4,376,110; Ausubel et al (1987-1999); Harlow et al (1988); and Colligan et al (1993). The mAbs of the invention may be of any immunoglobulin class including IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA, and any subclass thereof. A hybridoma producing a mAb may be cultivated in vitro or in vivo. High titers of mAbs can be obtained in in vivo production where cells from the individual hybridomas are injected intraperitoneally into mice, such as pristine-primed Balb/c mice to produce ascites fluid containing high concentrations of the desired mAbs. MAbs of isotype IgM or IgG may be purified from such ascites fluids, or from culture supernatants, using column chromatography methods well known to those of skill in the art.
- An “isolated polynucleotide” refers to a polynucleotide segment or fragment which has been separated from sequences which flank it in a naturally occurring state, e.g., a DNA fragment which has been removed from the sequences which are normally adjacent to the fragment, e.g., the sequences adjacent to the fragment in a genome in which it naturally occurs. The term therefore includes, for example, a recombinant DNA which is incorporated into a vector, into an autonomously replicating plasmid or virus, or into the genomic DNA of a prokaryote or eukaryote, or which exists as a separate molecule (e.g., as a cDNA or a genomic or cDNA fragment produced by PCR or restriction enzyme digestion) independent of other sequences. It also includes a recombinant DNA, which is part of a hybrid gene encoding additional polypeptide sequence.
- A “construct” means any recombinant polynucleotide molecule such as a plasmid, cosmid, virus, autonomously replicating polynucleotide molecule, phage, or linear or circular single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA polynucleotide molecule, derived from any source, capable of genomic integration or autonomous replication, comprising a polynucleotide molecule where one or more polynucleotide molecule has been linked in a functionally operative manner, i.e. operably linked. A recombinant construct will typically comprise the polynucleotides of the invention operably linked to transcriptional initiation regulatory sequences that will direct the transcription of the polynucleotide in the intended host cell. Both heterologous and non-heterologous (i.e., endogenous) promoters can be employed to direct expression of the nucleic acids of the invention.
- A “vector” refers any recombinant polynucleotide construct that may be used for the purpose of transformation, i.e. the introduction of heterologous DNA into a host cell. One type of vector is a “plasmid”, which refers to a circular double stranded DNA loop into which additional DNA segments can be ligated. Another type of vector is a viral vector, wherein additional DNA segments can be ligated into the viral genome. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors). Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) are integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. Moreover, certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as “expression vectors”.
- An “expression vector” as used herein refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of replication and expressing a gene of interest when transformed, transfected or transduced into a host cell. The expression vectors comprise one or more phenotypic selectable markers and an origin of replication to ensure maintenance of the vector and to, if desired, provide amplification within the host. The expression vector further comprises a promoter to drive the expression of the polypeptide within the cells. Suitable expression vectors may be plasmids derived, for example, from pBR322 or various pUC plasmids, which are commercially available. Other expression vectors may be derived from bacteriophage, phagemid, or cosmid expression vectors.

Alternatively, another plasmid expressing the recombinant fusion protein, P3Z, was used to generate stable cell line, HuT78/P3Z, in which P3Z functions as molecular sensor and signal transduction mediator. When P3Z is engaged by PD-1 ligand, it will transmit intracellular signal to activate IL-2 release in the HuT78 cells.

- Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated based on conventional hybridoma fusion technology (Kohler and Milstein 1976 Eur J Immunol 6:511-519; de St Groth and Sheidegger 1980, J Immunol Methods 35:1-21; Mechetner 2007 Methods Mol Biol 378:1-13) with minor modifications. MAbs with high binding activities in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) assay were selected for further characterization
- Expression plasmid containing full-length human PD-1 cDNA was obtained from Origene (Cat. No. SC117011, NCBI Accession No: NM_005018.1, Beijing, China). The extracellular domain consisting of amino acid (AA) 1-168 of PD-1 (SEQ NO.1, SEQ NO.2) was PCR-amplified, and subcloned in pcDNA3.1-based expression vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) with C-terminus fused either to a His6 tag or to the γFc domain of human IgG4 heavy chain, which resulted in two recombinant fusion protein expression plasmids, PD-1-EC/His and PD-1-EC/Fc (abbreviated as PD-1/His and PD-1/Fc).

FIG. 1 . For the recombinant fusion protein production, PD-1/His and PD-1/Fc plasmids were transiently transfected into 293-F cells in 1-3 liters of medium (Invitrogen), and cultured for 5-7 days in a CO2 incubator equipped with rotating shaker. The supernatant containing the recombinant protein was collected and cleared by centrifugation at 15000 g for 30 minutes. PD-1/His was purified through immobilized metal affinity chromatography using Ni-Sepharose Fast Flow (Cat. No. 17531801, GE Lifesciences, Shanghai, China), followed by size exclusion chromatography using a HiLoad 16/60Superdex 200 column (Cat. No. 17106901, GE Lifesciences, Shanghai, China). PD-1/Fc was purified using a Protein G Sepharose Fast Flow column (Cat. No. 17061805, GE Lifesciences). Both PD-1/His and PD-1/Fc proteins were dialyzed against phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and stored in -80oC freezer in small aliquots. - The cDNA coding for human PD-L1 was chemically synthesized by Genescript (Nanjing, China) based on the published sequence (NCBI Accession No. NM_014143). The PD-L2 expression plasmid was purchased from Origene (Cat. No. SC108873, NCBI Accession No. NM_025239.2, Beijing, China). Both cDNAs were cloned in pcDNA3.1/Hygromycin (Cat. No. V870-20, Invitrogen), and pcDNA3.1/V5-His (Cat. No. V810-20, Invitrogen), respectively.
- Stable cell lines expressing human PD-1, PD-L1 or PD-L2 were established by transfection of pcDNA3.1 plasmids containing PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 to HUT78 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and HEK293 (ATCC), respectively, and followed by selection with medium containing 200 micrograms of hygromycin (Cat. No. 10687-010, Invitrogen) or 1 mg of G418 (Sigma) per milliliter. Single clones were isolated by conventional method, either limited dilution or picking up single colonies from culture-well surface. All clones were screened by Western blot and FACS analysis using anti-PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 antibodies (Cat. No. 12-9969, 17-5983, 12-5888, eBioscience, San Diego, USA), respectively, and the top expression clones were selected for FACS binding assay to screen hybridoma monoclonal antibodies, or used in functional assays.
- Eight to twelve week-old Balb/c mice (from BEIJING HFK BIOCSIENCE CO.,LTD, Beijing, China) were immunized subcutaneously with 100 ul of adjuvant (Cat. No. KX0210041, KangBiQuan, Beijing, China) containing 5 micrograms of PD-1/Fc. The immunization was conducted by two injections of the above immunogen with three weeks apart. Two weeks after the 2nd immunization, the mice sera were evaluated for PD-1 binding by FACS (following sections). The mice with high anti-PD-1 antibody titers in sera were selected and boosted intraperitoneally with 50 micrograms of PD-1/Fc in the absence of any adjuvant. Three days after boosting, the splenocytes were isolated and fused with the murine myeloma cell line, SP2/0 cells (ATCC), using standard techniques (Gefter, M.L. et al., 1977 Somat Cell Genet, 3:231-236).
- The supernatants of hybridoma clones were initially screened by Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) as described in “Flanagan, M.L. et al. 2007 Methods in Molecular Biology 378:33-52” with some modifications. Briefly, 50-200 nanograms of PD-1/His or PD-1/Fc protein in 50 microliters of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were coated in 96-well plate (Shenzhen JinCanHua Industry Co., Ltd, Shenzhen, China) on per well base. The HRP-linked anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 7076S, Cell Signaling Technology, USA and Shanghai, China) and chemiluminescent reagent (Cat. No. PA107-01, TIANGEN, China) were used to detect and develop the ELISA signal, which were read out by a plate reader (PHREAstar FS, BMG LABTECH, Germany) at wavelength of 450 nm. The ELISA-positive antibody producer clones were further verified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using a conventional method. PD-1 stable expression cell lines, HuT78/PD-1 (105 cells/well), described above, was stained with supernatants from anti-PD-1 hybridomas in V-bottom 96-well plates (Cat. No. 3897, Corning, USA and Shanghai, China). To block human Fc receptors, cells were pre-incubated with human IgG (20 µg/ml) (Cat. No. H11296, LifeHolder, USA and Shanghai, China). PD-1 antibodies were detected with Dylight™ 649-labelled goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405312, Biolegend, San Diego, USA) and cell fluorescence was monitored using a flow cytometer (Guava easyCyte 8HT, Merck-Millipore, USA and Shanghai, China).
- The conditioned media of hybridoma cells that showed positive signal in both ELISA and FACS assay were subjected to functional assays to identify antibodies with good functional activity in human immune cell-based assays (herein). The antibodies with positive functional activity were further subcloned and characterized.
- The positive hybridoma clones from primary screening through ELISA, FACS and functional assays were subcloned by the conventional method of limited dilution. Each of the positive clones was plated out in a 96-well plate, cultured in RPMI1640 medium (Cat. No. SH30809.01B, Hyclone, Shanghai, China) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Cat. No. SH30084.03, Hyclone, Beijing, China) in CO2 incubator. Three subclones from each limited dilution plate were selected and characterized by FACS and functional assays. The subclones selected through functional assays were defined as monoclonal antibody. The top subclones were adapted for growth in the CDM4MAb medium (Cat. No. SH30801.02, Hyclone) with 1-3% FBS.
- Either murine monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma cells or recombinant antibody plasmids-transfected 293-F cells (Cat. No. R79007, Invitrogen) were cultured in CDM4MAb medium (Cat. No. SH30801.02, Hyclone) or Freestyle293 Expression medium (Cat. No. 12338018, Invitrogen), respectively, in a CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 5 to 7 days. The conditioned medium was collected through centrifugation at 10,000 g for 30 minutes to remove all cells and cell debris, and filtrated through a 0.22 µm membrane before purification. Murine or recombinant antibodies were applied and bound to a Protein A column (Cat. No. 17127901, GE Life Sciences) following the manufacturer’s guidance, washed with PBS, eluted in the buffer containing 20 mM citrate, 150 mM NaCl, pH3.5. The eluted materials were neutralized with 1 M Tris pH8.0, and usually contained antibodies of above 90% purity. The Protein A-affinity purified antibodies were either dialyzed against PBS or further purified using a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex200 column (Cat. No. 17531801, GE Life Sciences) to remove aggregates. Protein concentrations were determined by measuring absorbance at 280 nm or by Bradford assay (Cat. No. 1856210, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) using bovine IgG of defined concentration (Cat. No. 23212, Thermo Scientific) as the standards. The purified antibodies were stored in aliquots in -80° C. freezer.
- Through screening thousands of hybridomal clones we identified some top monoclonal antibodies (mAb), which bind to human PD-1 with high specificity and strength. As shown in ELISA assay (
FIG. 2 ), three of the top antibodies elicited such binding strength and specificity. FACS analysis results demonstrated the selected monoclonal antibodies bind to the native PD-1 proteins expressed on cell surface. Murine mAb317 (mu317), mu326 and mu150 showed concentration-dependent binding activity, and their binding EC50 (Effective concentration at 50% activity) was significantly lower than that of the control mu55 (FIG. 3 ). - The mAbs with high binding activities in ELISA and FACS, as well as with potent functional activities in the cell-based assays (herein) were examined for their binding kinetic constant in real time binding reactions. Murine anti-PD-1 mAbs were purified from hybridoma supernatants using protein A Flow column (Cat. No. 17531801, GE Life Sciences) followed by exclusion chromatography using a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex200 column (Cat. No. 17106901, GE Life Sciences). The purified anti-PD-1 antibodies were concentrated to 0.5-1 mg/mL in PBS and stored in aliquots in -80° C. freezer.
- For determining binding affinities of PD-1 mAbs, SPR measurements were performed in HBS-N buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.005% v/v surfactant P20, GE Healthcare) using the BIAcore™ T-200 instrument (GE Life Sciences). Anti-mouse Fc CM5 biosensor chip (GE Healthcare) was generated using a standard primary amine coupling protocol. PD-1 mAbs at 0.3 µg/ml were captured on anti-mouse Fc surface for 1 min at 10 µl/min. PD-1/Fc in a serial dilutions from 3.3 nM to 120 nM was injected over antibody-bound surface for 3 min at 30 µl/min followed by a 10 min dissociation phase. Association rates (Ka or kon) and dissociation rates (Kd or koff) were calculated using the one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIA Evaluation Software, GE Life Sciences). The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) was calculated as the ratio koff/kon.
- As shown in Table 1, both mu326 and mu517, a cognate sequence family member related to mu317, have a sub-nanomolar KD equaling to 0.324 nM and 0.289 nM, respectively, which is significantly better than that of mu134. The Kon rate was similar among the three mAbs listed in Table 1, yet the Koff rate was significantly different, much faster dissociation rate was observed in mu134.

Both expression vectors were co-expressed in 293-F cells using a transient transfection protocol similar to the transient expression of whole antibodies. Briefly, the Fab kappa chain was PCR amplified and subcloned in pcDNA3.1-based expression vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). In a separate plasmid, the heavy chain variable region (VH) together with the CH1 coding sequence from human IgG2 was fused with a C-terminal c-Myc-His8 tag by overlapping PCR, and then subcloned in the expression vector. The C232S and C233S (Kabat residue numbering, Kabat et al. Sequence of proteins of immunologic interest, 5th ed Bethesda, MD, NIH 1991) mutations were introduced in the IgG2 heavy chain to prevent disulfide bond exchange and stabilize human IgG2 in the IgG2-A conformation (Lightle et al. 2010 Protein Sci 19(4): 753-762). Both constructs contained a signal peptide upstream of the Fab mature sequences. Secreted expression of Fab was achieved by co-transfection of above 2 plasmids into 293-F cells and cell culture supernatants were harvested 6-7 days post transfection. His8-tagged Fabs were purified from cell culture supernatants using a Ni-sepharose Fast Flow column (Cat. No. 17531801, GE Life Sciences) followed by size exclusion chromatography using a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex200 column (Cat. No. 17106901, GE Life Sciences). The purified Fabs were concentrated to 0.5-5 mg/mL in PBS and stored in aliquots in -80° C. freezer.
- For affinity determinations of anti-PD-1 Fabs, SPR assays were used with the BIAcore™ T-200 instrument (GE Life Sciences). Briefly, human PD-1/His or cynomolgus monkey PD-1/His was coupled to activated CM5 biosensor chips (Cat. No. BR100530, GE Life Sciences) to achieve approximately 100-200 response units (RU), followed by blocking un-reacted groups with 1 M ethanolamine. Fab samples of increasing concentration from 0.12 nM to 90 nM were injected in the SPR running buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween20, pH7.4) at 30 µL/minute, and binding responses on human PD-1/His or monkey PD-1/His were calculated by substracting of RU from a blank flow-cell. Association rates (kon) and dissociation rates (koff) were calculated using the one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIA Evaluation Software, GE Life Sciences). The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) was calculated as the ratio koff/kon.
- The SPR-determined binding affinities of anti-PD-1 Fabs were listed in Table 18. Each anti-PD-1 Fab bound with high affinity (Kd = 0.15-1 nM) to human PD-1. All Fabs, except 326-3G1, bound with slightly lower but comparable (within 5 fold in Kd) affinities to cynomolgus monkey PD-1.
- Retroviral packaging cell line PT67, human T cell lines HuT78 and HEK293 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD). A HuT78 subline HuT78/PD-1 that expresses PD-1 was generated by retroviral transduction using pFB-neo vector (Strategene/Agilent Tech, Santa Clara, CA) containing the PD-1 gene, according to the protocol described previously (Zhang et al. 2005 Blood 106: 1544-1551). The T cell engager, a membrane-anchored chimeric Ab (OS8), was constructed by fusing the single chain variable fragment (scFv) of an anti-human CD3 mAb OKT3 (Kipriyanov et al. 1997, PEDS 10:445-453) to the C-terminal domain (113-220) of mouse CD8α (NCBI Accession No: NP_001074579.1) which includes hinge, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. By doing so, anti-CD3 scFv is anchored to cell surface as a T cell activator. Human PD-L1, PD-L2 and OS8 cDNAs were sub-cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector. Stable cell lines HEK293/OS8/PD-L1, Hep3B/OS8/PD-L1 and HEK293/OS8/PD-L2 that co-express both OS8 and PD-L1 or PD-L2 cDNAs were generated by co-transfection of HEK293 and Hep3B cells (ATCC) with the paired plasmids, followed by hygromycin or G418 selection for 10-14 days. Cell lines were then cloned by limiting dilution as described previously (Fuller SA, et al. Curr Protoc Mol Biol. Chapter 11:Unit11.8, 2001). Chimeric PD-1 receptor, named P3Z, was constructed by fusing the extracellular and transmembrane domains) of human PD-1 to the cytoplasmic domain of human CD3ζ chain (NCBI Accession No. NP_932170.1). P3Z-coding cDNA sequence was cloned into pFB-neo and delivered into HuT78 cells via retroviral transduction to generate HuT78/P3Z cells.
- To determine whether anti-PD-1 antibodies can block the interaction of PD-L1-induced PD-1 signaling, HuT78/PD-1 cells (1.5×104 cells per well in 96-well plate) were pre-incubated with hybridoma supernatants or PD-1 antibodies for 15 minutes prior to co-culture with HEK293/OS8/PD-L1 or HEK293/OS8/PD-L2 cells (4×104 per well) in a flat bottom plate fed with 200 µl of RPMI1640 growth medium per well at 37° C. After 16-18 hours, supernatants of the co-culture were collected. IL-2 was assayed by ELISA using human IL-2 Ready-Set-Go! ELISA kits (Cat. No. 88-7025, eBiosciences, San Diego, CA). In this assay, blockade of PD-1 signaling with anti-PD-1 antibodies resulted in enhanced TCR signaling and IL-2 production (
FIG. 4 ). - As shown in
FIG. 5 and Table 2, murine anti-PD-1 mAb, mu317 and mu326, elicited significantly higher functional activity than mu30, inhibiting PD-L1-induced PD-1 signaling which leads to increased IL-2 secretion. Both had higher IL-2 secretion (top line, Table 2), 675 and 634 pg/ml, respectively, and both had lower EC50 (Effective concentration of mAb at 50% level of IL-2 secretion induction) than mu30 antibody. -

Table 3 presented the data showing mu317 and mu326 had much higher potency in activating the T-cells as indicated by the parameters (EC50) of IL-2 secretion than those of mu476 .

Top line: Average IL-2 release induced at the plateau part of the sigmoid reaction curve - In chimeric receptor P3Z, PD-1 signaling domain was replaced with the cytoplasmic domain of CD3ζ. Therefore, P3Z mediates activation upon engagement with PD-L1, rather than inhibition as original PD-1 receptor. In this assay, HuT78/P3Z cells (3×104/well) were pre-incubated with hybridoma supernatants or PD-1 antibodies for 15 minutes prior to co-culture with HEK293/PD-L1 or HEK293/PD-L2 cells (5×104/well) in 96-well flat bottom plates (a total volume of 200 µl/well) at 37° C. After 16-18 hours, supernatants were collected and IL-2 production was assayed by ELISA as described above.
- The functional activity of murine anti-PD-1 mAbs was further confirmed by direct readout of T-cell activation in reverse signaling assay described above. Consistent to the result described above, mu317 and mu326 had best functional activity among the mAbs we screened. As shown in Table 4 and Table 5, mu317 and mu326 were much more potent than one of the low activity mAbs, mu37, both in terms of IC50 and maximum inhibition.

Human PBMCs were isolated from healthy donors by density gradient centrifugation using ficoll lymphocyte separation medium (Histopaque-1077; Sigma-Aldrich, MO) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All the human blood collection followed the Internal Procedure of Beigene. PBMCs were then stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb (40 ng/mL) OKT3 (Cat. No. 16-0037, eBioscience, CA) for 3 days prior to assay. FACS analysis (Example 1) showed that PD-1 expression on the activated PBMCs (primarily T cells) was increased to variable degree dependent on individual donors (Table 6). To determine the response of pre-activated T cells to PD-1 ligand-positive tumor cells upon engagement TCR/CD3 complex, PBMCs (1×104) were co-cultured with either HEK293/OS8/PD-L1 or HEK293/OS8/PD--L2 cells (3×104) in 96-well flat-bottom plates for 15-18 hours. Cell-free supernatants were assayed for IFN-γ level by ELISA using Ready-Set-Go! ELISA kits (Cat. No. 88-7316, eBiosciences), which is the most prominent indicator of T-cell activation, as well as of other immune cell activation (Thakur A. et al. 2012 Vaccine, 30:4907-4920).

Without stimulation: fresh PBMCs subjected to antibody staining and FACS analysis. -
FIG. 6 demonstrated that presence of mAbs mu317 and mu326 in the co-culture of pre-activated PBMCs and HEK293/OS8/PD-L1 cells resulted in increasing IFN-γ accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. Although the base level of IFN-γ with control murine IgG treatment varies among different donors, the increase of IFN-γ secretion in PBMCs treated by mu317 or mu326 is statistically significant in the range of 0.1 to 10 µg/ml of antibody treatment. Comparing to the corresponding level of mIgG-treated PBMCs, IFN-γ secretion induced by mu317 and mu326 between the 0.1 to 10 µg/ml concentration levels increased 2.5 to 3.2 fold in PBMCs from Donor-19, and increased 1.4 to 2.3 fold in PBMCs of Donor-20, respectively. - Primary human NK cells were reported previously to express PD-1 protein in response to IL-2 treatment and inhibiting PD-1-mediated signaling enhanced cytotoxicity of NK cells (2010 Blood, 116: 2286). For quantitative assay of functional effect exerted by anti-PD-1 mAbs in NK cells, human NK cell line NK92MI (ATCC) and lung cancer cell line SK-Mes-1 (ATCC) were engineered to stably express human PD-1 and PD-L1, respectively, by retroviral transduction according to the protocols described previously (Zhang et al. 2005, Blood 106: 1544-1551, Zhang et al. 2006, Cancer Res, 66: 5927). The two stable cell lines were named as NK92MI/PD-1 and SK-Mes-1/PD-L1
- Functional activity of the anti-PD-1 mAbs on NK cells was assayed by quantitative measurement of IFN-γ production and secretion in NK92MI/PD-1 cells which were co-cultured with lung cancer cell line SK-MES-1/PD-L1 at ratio of 1 to 2 in 96-well flat-bottom plate with total of 6 × 104 cells per well. The anti-PD-1 mAbs were added to NK92MI/PD-1
cells 15 minutes before the co-culture started, then the cells were co-cultured for overnight in CO2 incubator. Cell-free supernatants were assayed for IFN-γ level by ELISA as described in Example 4. - All anti-PD-1 mAbs trigged significant increase of IFN-γ production from the baseline with low concentration of antibody treatment to top line with high concentration of antibody treatment. The two top antibodies, mu317 and mu326, had lower EC50, than the comparison antibody 5C, indicating they have more potent activating effect to the NK cells (Table 7).

Top line: Average IFN-γ release induced at the plateau part of the sigmoid reaction curve - Cytotoxicity of NK92MI/PD-1 cells against SK-MES-1/PD-L1 cells was determined by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay using the CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay kit (Promega, Madison, WI). In brief, NK92MI/PD-1 cells (105) were pre-incubated with anti-PD-1 mAbs at final concentrations within the range of 0.004-10 µg/ml for 15 minutes, and SK-MES-1/PD-L1 cells (2×104) were added to the immune cell culture in a 96-well V-bottom plate at an effector to tumor cell (E:T) ratio of 5:1, then co-cultured for 5 hours. The complete tumor cell lysis was set as maximum cell killing, the LDH-release assay readout of each sample was calculated as percentage of maximum cell killing. The cell killings (%) of all samples were normalized cross the plates using 10% of baseline as the common standard.
- In the specific cytotoxicity assay set as above, the selected anti-PD-1 mAbs caused a net tumor cell killing (= top line - baseline) ranging from 19% to 20.2% at high concentration of mAb input. Mu317 and mu326 had lower EC50 than mu336, indicating better potency to trigger NK92MI/PD-1 cell-mediated tumor cell killing (Table 8).

Top line: Average percent of tumor killed in presence of highest concentrations of mAbs, i.e. 3 µg/ml and 10 µg/ml - The murine hybridoma clones secreting a specific mAb were cultured to a density of 3 to 10 × 106 cells in a 100 mm-tissue culture dish, and the cells were harvested through centrifugation at 1500 rpm in a swing bucket rotor. Total cellular RNA was isolated using Ultrapure RNA kit (Cat. No. CW0581, CWBIOTECH, Beijing, China) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The RNA was resuspended in double-deionized water, concentration measured by NanoDrop (ThermoFisher, Shanghai, China).
- PCR primers used for mAb cDNA cloning were synthesized by Invitrogen (Beijing, China) based on the sequences reported previously (Brocks et al. 2001 Mol Med 7:461-469). The 1st strand cDNA was synthesized using reverse transcriptase (Cat. No. AH301-02, Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). PCR amplification of specific mAb cDNA was performed using PCR reagent kit (Cat. No. Ap221-12, TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) and following manufacturer’s protocol. The PCR product was either directly sequenced by service provider (GeneWiz, Beijing, China) or subcloned into a pCR vector (Invitrogen), subsequently sequenced (GeneWiz).
- The protein sequences of murine mAbs were analyzed by sequence homology alignment. MAbs were grouped based on sequence homology and epitope-mapping results (Example 13). Complement determinant regions (CDRs) were identified based on Kabat (Wu, T.T. and Kabat, E.A., 1970 J. Exp. Med. 132: 211-250) and IMGT system (Lefranc M.-P. et al., 1999 Nucleic Acids Research, 27, 209-212) by sequence annotation and by internet-based sequence analysis (http://www.imgt.org/IMGT_vquest/share/textes/index.html and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast/). As shown in Table 9, the CDRs of mu317 and mu326 are very different in sequence length and identity.

Potentially important framework residues were kept as the original murine residues in the first round antibody humanization. The previously established structural modeling method for antibodies (Morea et al.
Methods 2000 20:267-279) was adopted to simulate 3D structure of anti-PD-1 mAbs based on the known canonical structures of antibodies (Al-Lazikani et al. 1997 Journal of Molecular Biology 273:927-948). Briefly, the sequence of each variable domain (Vk and Vh) of murine antibody was blasted in the PDB database (Protein Data Bank, http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) to identify the most homologous antibody sequence with known high resolution structure (resolution less than 2.5 angstrom). Selected structure templates for modeling mu317 and mu326 (listed in Table 10) had the same classes of canonical loop structures in L-CDR1, L-CDR2, L-CDR3, H-CDR1, and H-CDR2 to the target antibodies to be modeled. If the templates for the Vk and the Vh came from different immunoglobulins, they were packed together by a least-squares fit of the main chain atoms to form a hybrid structure of Vk-Vh interface residues, which was used as the templates for structural homology modeling by Swiss-model program (Kiefer et al. 2009 Nucleic Acids Research 37, D387-D392). Certain side chain conformation was adjusted while the main chain conformations were retained. At the sites where the parent structure and the modeled structure had the same residue, the side chain conformation was retained. At sites where the residues were different, side chain conformations were modeled on the basis of template structure, rotamer libraries and packing considerations. After homology modeling, PLOP program (Jacobson et al. 2002 Journal of Physical Chemistry 106:11673-11680) was used to refine the homology models to minimize all-atom energy and optimize Vk and Vh interface. This step was performed to improve the stereochemistry, especially in those regions where segments of structures coming from different antibodies had been joined together. -

The selected structure templates are also listed in Table 10. The structure simulations were done in a similar way to above procedure, except that the possible conformations of H-CDR3 were taken from PDB templates 1AY1 for 317-1 and 3CXD for 326-1, respectively, which contained H-CDR3s of similar size and torso region. Energy minimization for grafted H-CDR3 residues was done using PLOP.
- For humanization of the anti-PD-1 mAbs, we searched human germline IgG genes homologous to the cDNA sequences of mu317 and mu326 variable regions by blasting the human immunoglobulin gene database in IMGT (http://www.imgt.org/IMGT_vquest/share/textes/index.html) and NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast/) websites. The human IGVH and IGVκ with high homology to the PD-1 mAbs were selected as the template for humanization.
- Humanization was carried out in principle by CDR-grafting. In the 1st round of humanization, mutations from murine to human amino acid residues in framework sequences of variable regions was guided by the simulated 3D structures, and only the murine amino acid residues whose changes retain the overall antibody and CDR loop structure were mutated to human sequence as described above. The initial versions of humanized mAbs were hu317-1 (SEQ NO 47-50) and hu326-1 (SEQ NO 55-58), which comprise a heavy chain with humanized variable heavy chain (Vh) fused to human IgG2 constant region (NCBI accession No. P01859) and a light chain with humanized variable light chain kappa (Vκ) fused to human Ig kappa C-region (NCBI Accession No. P01834). Likewise, we generated chimeric antibodies from mu317 and mu326, which are consisted of a murine VH fused to human IgG2 constant region and a murine Vκ fused to human Ig kappa C-region. The full chimeric antibodies were named as ch317 and ch326, respectively. All recombinant mAbs were expressed and purified as described in Example 1.
- FACS and functional assays demonstrated that mAb hu317-1 almost retained the same binding and functional activity as the mu317 and ch317. The EC50 difference in FACS analysis between mu317 versus ch317 and hu317-1 may be interpreted by the fact that two different detection antibodies, a goat anti-mouse IgG and a goat anti-human IgG, were used in FACS. In the two functional assays, all three versions of 317 were treated more equal, and the results also close to each other (Table 11).
- As result of the initial round of humanization for mu326, mAb hu326-1 retained similar functional feature to the parental ch326 and mu326 although functional activity in FACS binding assay and in HuT78/PD-1 cell-based IL-2 release assay may be slightly weaker than ch326 (Table 12).

As shown in Table 13, the seven individual mutations in Vh and one mutation in Vκ of hu317-1 all have similar functional activities. Only minor changes were observed in some Vh mutation, such as hu317-2_K71V with slightly weaker inhibitory function among the mutations. However, when all the murine amino acid residues mutated together to human (hu317-3A), the function is clearly weaker than the rest mutations in FACS and IL-2 release assays.
- In the initial trial described above, hu326-1 reached significant humanization level in the FR except for a few of murine AA residues left. Yet, it has weaker function than the mu326. Therefore, we made more individual mutations either back to murine residues or forward to human residues to explore the contribution of each individual AA to mAb326 function. Table 14 presented all single AA mutations made based on hu326-1_Vh template (SEQ NO 56, SEQ NO 57) and their functional assay results. Majority of the mutations showed better functional activity than those of hu326-1, matching the original mu326 mAb. A couple of mutations (E46K and F95Y) showed slightly less potency in the EC50 or IC50, indicating the role of those residues in the antibody structure and function.

mAbs - Among the six mAbs, hu317-4B2, hu317-4B5 and hu317-4B6 are closely related to each other in sequences and very similar in their functional activities and strength. On the other hand, hu326-3B1, hu326-3G1 and hu326-4A3 are quite close to each other in sequences and functionalities (Table 17-18). Within each of the two groups of mAbs, they also shared many other features in addition to sequences and function, such as physicochemical properties and binding epitopes (described in Examples 10 and 11) though some minor differences do exist.

Both expression vectors were co-expressed in 293-F cells using a transient transfection protocol similar to the transient expression of whole antibodies. Briefly, the Fab kappa chain was PCR amplified and subcloned in pcDNA3.1-based expression vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). In a separate plasmid, the heavy chain variable region (VH) together with the CH1 coding sequence from human IgG2 was fused with a C-terminal c-Myc-His8 tag by overlapping PCR, and then subcloned in the expression vector. The C232S and C233S (Kabat residue numbering, Kabat et al. Sequence of proteins of immunologic interest, 5th ed Bethesda, MD, NIH 1991) mutations were introduced in the IgG2 heavy chain to prevent disulfide bond exchange and stabilize human IgG2 in the IgG2-A conformation (Lightle et al. 2010 Protein Sci 19(4): 753-762). Both constructs contained a signal peptide upstream of the Fab mature sequences. Secreted expression of Fab was achieved by co-transfection of above 2 plasmids into 293-F cells and cell culture supernatants were harvested 6-7 days post transfection. His8-tagged Fabs were purified from cell culture supernatants using a Ni-sepharose Fast Flow column (Cat. No. 17531801, GE Life Sciences) followed by size exclusion chromatography using a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex200 column (Cat. No. 17106901, GE Life Sciences). The purified Fabs were concentrated to 0.5-5 mg/mL in PBS and stored in aliquots in -80° C. freezer.
- For affinity determinations of anti-PD-1 Fabs, SPR assays were used with the BIAcore™ T-200 instrument (GE Life Sciences). Briefly, human PD-1/His or cynomolgus monkey PD-1/His was coupled to activated CM5 biosensor chips (Cat. No. BR100530, GE Life Sciences) to achieve approximately 100-200 response units (RU), followed by blocking un-reacted groups with 1 M ethanolamine. Fab samples of increasing concentration from 0.12 nM to 90 nM were injected in the SPR running buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween20, pH7.4) at 30 µL/minute, and binding responses on human PD-1/His or monkey PD-1/His were calculated by substracting of RU from a blank flow-cell. Association rates (kon) and dissociation rates (koff) were calculated using the one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIA Evaluation Software, GE Life Sciences). The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) was calculated as the ratio koff/kon.
- The SPR-determined binding affinities of anti-PD-1 Fabs were listed in Table 18. Each anti-PD-1 Fab bound with high affinity (Kd = 0.15-1 nM) to human PD-1. All Fabs, except 326-3G1, bound with slightly lower but comparable (within 5 fold in Kd) affinities to cynomolgus monkey PD-1.
- Since PD-1 is primarily expressed in activated T cells, PD-1 blocking antibodies linked to naturally occurring type of IgG-□Fc moieties are expected to induce □Fc -mediated effector functions, such as ADCC and CDC, to a variable degree depending on the IgG subclasses, which results in elimination of activated T cells (Natsume A, et al, 2009 Drug Des Devel Ther. 3: 7-16). Human antibody subclass IgG4 was shown in many previous reports that it has modest ADCC and almost no CDC effector function (Moore GL, et al. 2010 MAbs, 2:181-189). On the other hand, natural IgG4 was found less stable in stress conditions such as in acidic buffer or under increasing temperature (Angal, S. 1993 Mol Immunol, 30:105-108; Dall’Acqua, W. et al, 1998 Biochemistry, 37:9266-9273; Aalberse et al. 2002 Immunol, 105:9-19). In order to spare PD-1+ T cells from being killed and to improve physicochemical properties of the anti-PD-1 antibodies, the humanized mAbs were linked to IgG4 engineered by combinations of mutations to have reduced or null FcγR binding or C1q binding activities, therefore, attenuating or eliminating ADCC and CDC effector functions. Considering physicochemical properties of antibody as a biological drug, one of the less desirable, intrinsic properties of IgG4 is dynamic separation of its two heavy chains in solution to form half antibody, which lead to bi-specific antibodies generated in vivo via a process called “Fab arm exchange” (Van der Neut Kolfschoten M, et al. 2007 Science, 317:1554-157). The mutation of serine to proline at position 228 (EU numbering system) appeared inhibitory to the IgG4 heavy chain separation (Angal, S. 1993 Mol Immunol, 30:105-108; Aalberse et al. 2002 Immunol, 105:9-19). Some of the amino acid residues in the hinge and γFc region were reported to have impact on antibody interaction with Fcγ receptors (Chappel SM, et al. 1991 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88:9036-9040; Mukherjee, J. et al., 1995 FASEB J, 9:115-119; Armour, K.L. et al., 1999 Eur J Immunol, 29:2613-2624; Clynes, R.A. et al., 2000 Nature Medicine, 6:443-446; Arnold J.N., 2007 Annu Rev Immunol, 25:21-50). Furthermore, some rarely occurring IgG4 isoforms in human population may also elicit different physicochemical properties (Brusco, A. et al. 1998 Eur J Immunogenet, 25:349-55; Aalberse et al. 2002 Immunol, 105:9-19). However, lumping all the mutations and isoforms previously discovered into a specific antibody does not warrant for an ideal antibody molecule to share all the features for therapeutics such as described above, which may be resulted from contradictory effect of the combined mutations and from impact of variable region to the effector function and physicochemical properties of an antibody (Igawa T. et al., 2010 Prot Eng Design Select, 23:385-392; Perchiacca J.M. and Tessier P.M., 2012 Ann Rev Biomol Eng 3:263-286).
- To generate anti-PD-1 mAbs with least ADCC, CDC and instability, we modified the hinge and γFc region of human IgG4 by introduce a number of combinations of mutations, which created IgG4mt1 to IgG4mt12. Some of the modified IgG4 variants were clearly less desirable as indicated by our assay results, several relevant IgG4 variants and modified sequences were listed in Table 19. The assessment of these antibodies is described herein.

Changes are highlighted by underline. - ADCC is initiated when an antibody binds to cell surface target protein followed by ligation to Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) expressed on effector cells. It was well documented that human IgG1 has significantly higher binding affinity to FcγRs than IgG2 and IgG4, specially, binding to FcγR-I and FcγR-IIIA, which correlated to the strength of IgG1 to activate ADCC. Reminiscent of ADCC, CDC is activated when an antibody cross-links a cell surface target and C1q protein, which followed by a cascade reaction of complement complex formation and target cell lysis. As proxy of ADCC and CDC, assays for antibody binding to FcγRs and C1q may serve as the fundamental indicator of ADCC and CDC. We therefore systematically assessed the mAbs binding to all the major FcγRs.
- Binding of various IgG4 mutants to FcγRs was determined by flow cytometry. In brief, a series of HEK293 transfectants expressing human FcγRs were established. These transfectants expressed FcγRI, FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB or FcγRIIIA. Multi-subunit FcγRs (i.e., FcγRI and FcγRIIIA) were co-expressed with FcRγ. Polymorphic variants (i.e., FcγRIIA H131 and R131, FcγRIIIA F158 and V158) were also included. A secondary antibody (goat anti-human IgG F(ab)′2-Alexa Fluor 488, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) was used to detect the binding of anti-PD-1 mAbs with modified IgG4 variants (Table 19) to FcγR+ HEK293 cells. As expected, anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG1 format (hu317-1/IgG1 and hu317-4B6/IgG1) bind strongly to all FcγRs including FcγRI, FcγRIIA (H131 and R131 alleles), FcγRIIB, and FcγRIIIA (V158 and F158 alleles) (Table 20). Interestingly, when the two different version of humanization mAbs, hu317-1 and hu317-4B6 (with differences in both Vh and VK), were generated in the same IgG4 variant format, such as either in IgG4mt1 or in IgG4mt6 format, their binding strength (MFI) vary by an range from a couple fold to close to 100 fold (e.g. 455.2/115.7 = 3.9 fold; 13.6/1.0 = 13.6 fold; 434.6/4.9 = 88.7 fold; and etc., see Table 20). It is consistent to the previous findings by other that the variable regions of antibodies do have significant impact on the binding to FcRs, therefore, exerting the impact on effector function such as ADCC (Igawa T. et al., 2010 Prot Eng Design Select, 23:385-392; Perchiacca J.M. and Tessier P.M., 2012 Ann Rev Biomol Eng 3:263-286).
- As demonstrated in Table 20, when hu317-4B6 and hu326-4A3 were made in IgG4mt10 format, they have the lowest binding activity to FcγRs among the PD-1 mAbs and IgG variant formats listed in the table, as well as many other humanization mAbs and IgG formats we have tested in the study. The uniqueness of hu317-4B6 and hu326-4A3 in IgG4mt10 format in this regard may not be extended to the same family of humanization mAbs with somewhat distant sequence homology, such as hu317-1, as described above.

To verify whether humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs induce ADCC, NK92MI/CD16V cells, which were generated from NK92MI cells (ATCC) by co-transducing expression plasmids containing CD16 (V158 allele) and FcRy genes, were used as effector cells, and PD-1-expressing T cell line, HuT78/PD-1, was used as target cells. NK92MI/CD16V cells (4×104) were co-cultured with equal number of HuT78/PD-1 cells in 96-well V-bottom plates for 5h. Cytotoxicity was determined by LDH release assay described in previous section. The results confirmed that hu317-4B2/IgG4mt6, hu317-4B6/IgG4mt6, hu317-4B6/IgG4mt10 and hu326-4A3/IgG4mt10 all have base level of ADCC comparing to the positive controls (
FIG. 7 ). The minor difference in ADCC between those 4 mAbs may be attributable to experimental error (see error bars inFIG. 7 ). - Human IgG4 antibodies, in general, do not induce any CDC via classical pathway. Whether anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4mt10 format will trigger CDC was evaluated using a PD-1-expressing T cell line, Hut78/PD-1, and fresh human serum from healthy donors. Cell lysis by CDC was determined by Celltiter glo assay kits (Promega, Beijing, China). In brief, HuT78/PD-1 cells (2×104) were incubated in serum-free RPMI1640 (Invitrogen) with anti-PD-1 Abs (10 µg/ml) at 37° C. for 15 minutes before adding normal human serum (NHS) to the final concentration of 15% or 50% in 96-well flat-bottom plates in a total volume of 120 µl. After overnight incubation at 37° C., cells were lysed and assayed for ATP concentration. To test whether humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4mt10 can kill PD-1+ primary T cells via CDC, PBMCs isolated from healthy donors were preactivated with anti-CD3 Ab OKT3 (40 ng/ml) for 3 days before co-culture with anti-PD-1 Abs plus NHS. The amount of ATP is directly proportional to the number of cells present in culture. Fluorescence was read using a 96-well fluorometer (PHERA Star FS, BMG LABTECH). The results are expressed in relative fluoresence units (RFU) that are proportional to the number of viable cells. The percent CDC activity was calculated as follows: % CDC activity =[(RFU test - RFU background) / (RFU at total cell lysis – RFU background)] × 100. In general, we were not able to detect any ADCC mediated by anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4mt10 format that bind to activated PBMCs. In hypersensitive experimental conditions, such as using PD-1 highly-expressing cell line, high serum and antibody concentration, we detected very low level of CDC in some occasions, and there is not much differences between different versions and anti-PD-1 mAbs, indicating the anti-PD-1 mAbs in IgG4 variant formats retained the feature of low or no CDC activity as the common form of IgG4.
- Anti-PD-1 antibodies used in stability studies were all purified from protein A column followed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) as described in previous sections. Following purification, the aggregate contents of purified antibody samples were monitored in analytical size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC), which fell within the range of 0%-0.5%.
- For SEC-HPLC analysis, the antibody samples were analyzed using a TSKgel G3000 SWXL column (7.8×300 mm, Cat. No. 08541, Tosoh Bioscience, Shanghai, China) under isocratic elution condition (elution buffer 0.2 M sodium phosphate, pH7.2), and subsequent detection at UV-215 nm. In each run, 10 microliters of antibody sample was loaded onto the column and eluted at a flow rate of 1 mL/minute. The dimer or larger aggregate species of antibody were separated from monomeric species and the percentages of dimers and aggregates were determined based on the integrated peak areas from UV traces.
- For speed-enhanced shelf stability study, anti-PD-1 antibodies (10-40 mg/mL in PBS) were kept in incubators at 40-50oC for 4-7 days in order to test the stability of antibodies in high temperature condition. The antibody samples were then analyzed for heat-induced formation of dimer and aggregates in SEC-HPLC. For each of the anti-PD-1 antibodies analyzed, less than 2% became higher molecular weight species (dimers and aggregates), indicating the anti-PD-1 antibodies had good stability in high temperature conditions.
- Antibody’s stability in acidic condition has been a key challenge in the downstream manufacturing process (Liu et al. 2010 mAbs 2:480-499). Antibody elution from protein A and inactivation of virus usually require incubation of antibody in low pH (2.5-4) conditions. However, such acidic conditions could potentially cause antibody denaturation and aggregation. Human IgG4 has been known to be less stable than IgG1 and IgG2 (2002 Immunology 105:9). Therefore, we assayed the humanized mAbs made with various IgG4 mutant forms. Briefly, Antibody stabilities in low pH conditions were studied by 1:1 volume of each antibody sample (10 mg/mL in PBS) mixed with low pH buffers containing 50 mM sodium citrate, 100 mM NaCl at pH3.6, 3.3, 3.0 or 2.7, respectively. After 1 hour incubation at room temperature, the antibody samples in low pH conditions were neutralized by 1:5 dilution into SEC-HPLC elution buffer containing 0.2 M sodium phosphate, pH7.2. SEC-HPLC analyses were done as described above and percentages of dimers and aggregates induced by low pH conditions were quantified. The anti-PD-1 mAb 317-4B6 in IgG1 format was most stable in bioprocessing-relevant acidic conditions even when pH value get as low as 2.7. Among the anti-PD-1 mAbs made in several IgG4 variants, hu317-4B6/IgG4mt10 and hu326-4A3/IgG4mt10 were the most stable under the acidic buffer condition (Table 21) as the acid-induced aggregates were significantly reduced to a level that was comparable to that of the IgG1 format of anti-PD-1 mAbs, 317-4B6 and 326-4A3, i.e. the soluble aggregate is less than 2% (Table 21).

In fact, six of such AA residues were identified on the receptor through point mutation analysis required for PD-L1 binding. Five of the six AA residues were also required for PD-L2 binding (Lin D.Y. et al. 2008 PNAS 105:3011-3016). Based on the information from the structure-guided mutation analysis we hypothesized that most effective way for functional mAbs to block PD-1 mediated signaling is to compete with PD-1 ligands by binding to the six critical AA residues, therefore, occupying the binding epitopes required for the ligand binding. To explore the hypothesis and to understand the mechanism of action by functional PD-1 antibodies, we have made six mutants of PD-1 by replacing each of the six critical AAs to Ala, individually, i.e. K45A, I93A, L95A, P97A, 1101A and E103A (AA residue numbering based on Lin D.Y. et al. 2008 PNAS 105:3011-3016). The mutant PD-1/Fc and PD-1/His (
FIG. 1 ) were used as templates for PCR-guided mutagenesis or rolling-circle mutagenesis using Fast Mutagenesis System (Cat. No. FM111, Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). All mutants were sub-cloned in our pcDNA-based expression vectors, and verified by sequencing. The mutated and wild-type PD-1 proteins were expressed by transient transfection (described in Example 1), and prepared after 4 to 6 days of culture. The conditioned media (CM) were analyzed by Western blot to verify the PD-1 protein expression in terms of quality and quantity. The supernatants (CM), after clearing cell debris, were directly used in ELISA analysis or Western blot for epitope-mapping. - To study the binding epitopes of humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs, ELISA assays using the wild-type (WT) and mutant (Mt) PD-1 were performed to assess the binding activities of hu317-4B5, hu317-4B6, hu326-3B1 and hu326-4A3. For comparison to check the uniqueness of the antibody binding signature, two reference antibody (Reference Ab-1 and Reference Ab-2 from US8008449B2 and US8168757B2, respectively) were included in the study. Equal volume of CM containing WT or Mt PD-1 was coated in 96-well plate for all mAbs in the same ELISA assay. All ELISA results were normalized using the mean ELISA readings of WT PD-1 binding signals as the standard. ELISA binding signals to a specific Mt PD-1 were further normalized against the highest antibody binding read-out (set as 100%) to the specific Mt PD-1. For convenience of data analysis, When a mAb’s ELISA binding signal for a specific mutant dropped below 50% relative to WT PD-1, it is defined that the amino acid residue is a significant binding epitope because whose mutation significantly abrogated the antibody binding. Likewise, if a mAb’s ELISA binding signal for a specific mutant dropped below 25%, it is defined as very significant. As shown in
FIG. 8 , two of the critical AA residues in PD-1, K45 and 193, are significant or very significant epitopes for mAbs hu317-4B5 and hu317-4B6 binding, and three AA residues, 193, L95 and P97, are either significant or very significant epitopes for hu326-3B1 and hu326-4A3. On the other hand, the two reference antibodies have distinctive binding epitopes, P97 is significant for Reference Ab-1, while L95 and P97 are significant for Reference Ab-2. - Interestingly, when the PD-1 protein is denatured in Western Blot, mAb hu317-4B5 and -4B6 were still capable of binding to WT PD-1 though the critical binding epitopes (K45 and I93) are not close to each other (non-linear). It indicated that the PD-1 protein became renatured to some degree after denaturation in SDS-PAGE of Western Blot process, which allows the anti-PD-1 mAbs to recognize and bind to it. Taking the advantage of this observation, we performed Western Blot analysis for all six antibodies used in above ELISA study. The overall results from Western Blot corroborated very well to the ELISA results, i.e. the significant or very significant epitopes, whose mutations resulted in low binding signals in ELISA, also gave weakest Western Blot band comparing to the binding to other mutant PD-1 (
FIG. 8 ). Some minor differences between ELISA and Western Blot were also observed, e.g., the ELISA binding signals on I93A and E103A by reference Ab-2 were relatively stronger than those in Western Blot. It may be indicative of that those AA residues may also contribute to the binding because whose mutations impacted the binding though only under stress condition (i.e. denaturation or losing native conformation). As summarized in Table 22, the anti-PD-1 mAbs in this invention have identifiable binding epitopes differing from other anti-PD-1 antibody. -

Ab-2 ** ** * based on FIG. 8 - Throughout the humanization processes, the humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs at various stages retained similar functional activities as assessed by ELISA, FACS and immune cell-based cytokine release assays. To confirm the function of final versions of humanized mAbs, we assayed the activating functions of hu317-4B5, hu317-4B6, hu326-3B1 and hu326-4A3 using primary human PBMCs. The results demonstrated that those mAbs throughout the humanization maintained the original murine mAb functions to activate primary PBMCs although the degree of activation differs among the four donors due to the variance of individual’s genetic background (
FIG. 9 ). - Reminiscent of the original murine mAbs, the humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs, hu317-4B5, hu317-4B6, hu326-3B1 and hu326-3G1, enhance NK92MI/PD-1 cell-mediated cytotoxicity against the target lung cancer cells, SK-MES-1/PD-L1, in a dose-dependent manner (
FIG. 10 , Table 23). It appeared evident that in principle the humanized anti-PD-1 mAbs might function to break immune cell tolerance mediated by PD-1 signaling, enhancing the cancer killing activity by immune cells, e.g. NK cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. - All above experimental evidences indicated that the anti-PD-1 mAbs might work in mouse cancer models utilizing immune-compromised mice xenografted with human cancer cells, subsequently implanting human PBMCs and applying the mAb treatment to inhibit cancer cell growth in vivo. The experiment was designed as follows. Seven-eight week old SCID-male mice (Vital River Laboratories, China) were inoculated subcutaneously at right flank with 3×106 Hep3B/OS8-PD-L1 cells in 50% Matrigel (BD Biosciences, New Jesey, USA). Fifteen days after tumor inoculation, the mice bearing tumor size between 100-250 mm3 were randomized and divided into three treatment groups. One hundred microliters of pooled PBMCs (5×105) from 2 healthy donors were injected intratumorally. Three days post PBMC-implanting, anti-PD-1 antibodies (Hu317-IgG4mt2) and human IgG were administered via s.c. at a dose of 10 mg/kg, respectively. Antibody treatment was repeated once every 10 days for a total of 3 times. PBS was injected in a parallel group as negative control. Tumors were measured twice a week using a caliper starting on
day 7. Tumor volumes were calculated using the following formula: [D × (d2)]/2, in which D represents the large diameter of the tumor, and d represents the small diameter. All animal studies were performed following Beigene Animal Care and Use Procedure. - In the in vivo study, although 60% of tumors in the control groups were auto-regressed, the rest of in vivo experiment is still quite informative, which were presented in
FIG. 11 . In the control groups, either vehicle-treated or human IgG (huIgG)-treated group, each has 40% tumors (2 of 5 mice) outgrowing larger than the baseline at starting point. The two tumors in PBS-treated group grew much larger (above 2,000 mm3, one tumor-bearing mouse was terminated earlier due to passing tumor size limit by protocol). The two tumors in huIgG-treated group grew to the size of 800 and 1,370 mm3, significantly above the average baseline of 164 mm3 though smaller than the PBS-treated tumors. On the other hand, in the anti-PD-1 mAb (hu317-1/IgG4mt2)-treated group, tumors were either completely regressed or close to baseline size (one tumor = 200 mm3, which grew back slowly after regressed to 50% of baseline at two weeks from PBMC implanting). The results indicated that the anti-PD-1 mAb described above can activate human immune cells inhibiting tumor cells growth in the mouse in vivo cancer model, which is consistent to the in vitro experimental results described above.
