Definitions
- the present invention concerns polypeptides comprising variants of art Fc region. More particularly, the present invention concerns Fc region-containing polypeptides that have altered effector function as a consequence of one or more amino acid substitutions in the Fc region of the polypeptide.
- the present invention relates to the field of antibody variants and provides pdlypeptides comprising Fc variants with a decreased effector function, like decreased ADCC andior C1q binding.
- the invention provides a polypeptide comprising an Fc variant of a wild-type human IgG Fc region, said Fc variant comprising an amino acid substitution at position Pro329 and at least one further amino acid substitution, wherein the residues are numbered according to the EU index of Kabat, and wherein said polypeptide exhibits a reduced affinity to the human Fc ⁇ RIIIA and or Fc ⁇ RIIA and/or Fc ⁇ RI compared to a polypeptide comprising the wildtype IgG Fc region, and wherein the ADCC induced by said polypeptide is reduced to at least 20% of the ADCC induced by the polypeptide comprising a wild-type human IgG Fc region,
- Pro 29 of a wild-type human Fc region in the polypeptide described above is substituted with glycine arginine or an amino acid residue large enough to destroy the praline sandwich within the Fc/Fc ⁇ receptor interface, that is formed between the proline 329 of the Fc and tryptopharte residues Trp 87 and Trp 110 of FcgRIII (Sondermann et at: Nature 406, 267-273 (20 Jul. 2000)).
- the at least one further amino acid substitution in the Fc variant is S228F, E233P, L234A, L235A, L235E, N297A, N297D, or P331S and still in another embodiment said at least one further amino acid substitution is L234A and L235A of the human IgG1 Fc region or S228P and L235E of the human Ig134 Fc region.
- polypeptide provided exhibit; a reduced affinity to at least one further receptor of the group comprising the human receptors Fc ⁇ I, Fc ⁇ IIA and C1q compared to the polypeptide comprising a wild-type human IgG Fc region.
- polypeptide is an antibody or an Fc fusion protein
- the throinboeyte aggregation induced b the polypeptide comprising the Fc variant is reduced compared to the thrombocyte aggregation induced by a polypeptide comprising a wild-type human IgG Fc region.
- the pt peptide according to the invention exhibits a strongly reduced CDC compared to the CDC induced by a polypeptide comprising a wild-type human IgG Fc region.

- the BIAcore® system is well established for the study of molecule interactions. It allows a continuous real-time monitoring of ligand/analyte bindings and thus the determination of association rate constants (k a ), dissociation rate constants (k d ), and equilibrium constants (K D ). Changes in the refractive index indicate mass changes on the surface caused by the interaction of immobilized ligand with analyte injected in solution.

- P329G, P329A, SPLE and LALA mutations have been introduced into the Fo polypeptide of a P-selectin, CD20 and CD9 antibody, and the binding affinity to Fc ⁇ RI was measured with the Biacore system.
- the antibody with the P329G mutation still binds to Fc ⁇ R1 ( FIG. 1 a and 1b)
- the LALA or SPLE mutations decreased binding to the receptor more than P329G alone but less than in combination with P329G ( FIG. 1 a and 1 b ).
- the combination of P329G with either LALA or SPLE mutations is much more effective than the P329G mutation or the double mutations LALA or SPLE alone.
- the kd value for the CD20 IgG1 wildtype antibody was 4.6 nM and for the P329G mutant of the same antibody 5.7 nM, but for the triple mutant P329G/LALA no kd value could be determined due to the nearly undetectable binding of the antibody to the Fc ⁇ RI receptor.
- the antibody itself i.e. whether a CD9 or CD20 or P-selectin was tested, has a minor effect on the binding affinities.
- FIG. 1 e shows that the binding to the Fc ⁇ RIIA receptor is strongly reduced by introducing the LALA, SPLE/P329G, P329G and LALA/329G mutation into the Fc variant.
- the introduction of the P329G mutation alone is able to very strongly block the binding to said receptor, more or less to a similar extent as the triple mutation P329G/LALA ( FIG. 1 c ).

- the P329G mutation and the triple mutation P329G/LALA reduced binding to the Fc ⁇ RIIIA receptor most strongly, to nearly undetectable levels.
- the P329G/SPLE also lead to a strongly reduced binding affinity, the mutations SPLE and LALA, respectively, only slightly decreased the binding affinity to the Fc ⁇ RIIIA receptor ( FIG. 1 e ).
- the binding properties of the different polypeptides comprising Fc variants to C1q were analyzed by an ELISA sandwich type immunoassay. Each variant is coupled to a hydrophobic Maxisorp 96 well plate at 8 concentrations between 10 ⁇ g/ml and 0 ⁇ g/ml. This coupling simulates complexes of antibodies, which is a prerequisite for high affinity binding of the C1q molecule. After washing, the samples are incubated to allow C1q binding. After further washing the bound C1q molecule is detected by a polyclonal rabbit anti-hC1q antibody.
- an enzyme labelled anti-rabbit-Fc ⁇ specific antibody is added, Immunological reaction is made visible by addition of a substrate that is converted to a coloured product by the enzyme. The resulting absorbance, measured photometrically, is proportional to the amount of C1g bound to the antibody to be investigated. EC 50 values of the variant- C1q interaction were calculated. The absorption units resulting from the coloring reaction are plotted against the concentration of the antibody. The antibody concentration at the half maximum response determines the ECso value. This read-out is reported as relative difference to the reference standard measured on the same plate together with the coefficient of variation of sample and reference.
- C1q belongs to the complement activation proteins and plays a major role in the activation of the classical pathway of the complement, which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex. C1q is also involved in other immunological processes such as enhancement of phagocytosis, clearance of apoptotic cells or neutralization of virus.
- the mutants shown here to reduce binding to C1q e.g. P329G and SPLE, as well as very likely also the triple mutations comprising the aforementioned single mutations, strongly reduces the above mentioned functions of C1q.

- Monoolonal antibodies have great therapeutic potential and play an important role in today's medical portfolio. During the last decade, a significant trend in the pharmaceutical industry has been the development of monoclonal antibodies. (mAbs) as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a number of diseases, such as cancers, asthma, arthritis, multiple sclerosis etc. Monoclonal antibodies are predominantly manufactured as recombinant proteins in genetically engineered mammalian cell culture.
- The Fc region of an antibody, i.e., the terminal ends of the heavy chains of antibody spanning domains CH2, CH3 and a portion of the hinge region, is limited in variability and is involved in effecting the physiological roles played by the antibody. The effector functions attributable to the Fc region of an antibody vary with the class and subclass of antibody and include binding of the antibody via the Fc region to a specific Fc receptor (“FcR”) on a cell which triggers various biological responses,
- These receptors typically have an extracellular domain that mediates binding to Fc, a membrane spanning region, and an intracellular domain that may mediate some signaling event within the cell. These receptors are expressed in a variety of immune cella including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, cosinophils, mast cells, platelets, B cells, large granular lymphocytes, Langerhans' cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and T cells. Formation of the Fc/FcγR complex recruits these effector cells to sites of bound antigen, typically resulting in signaling events within the cells and important subsequent immune responses such as release of inflammation mediators, B cell activation, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and cytotoxic attack. The ability to mediate cytotoxic and phagocytic effector functions is a potential mechanism by which antibodies destroy targeted cells, The cell-mediated reaction wherein nonspecific cytotoxic cells that express FcγRs recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause lysis of the target cell is referred to as antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) (Ravetch, et al., Annu Rev Immunol 19 (2001) 275-290), The cell-mediated reaction wherein nonspecific cytotoxic cells that express FcγRs recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause phagocytosis of the target cell is referred to as antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP). In addition, an overlapping site on the Fc region of the molecule also controls the activation of a cell independent cytotoxic function mediated by complement, otherwise known as complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
- For the IgG class of Abs, ADCC and ADCP are governed by engagement of the Fc region with a family of receptors referred to as Fcγ receptors (FcγRs). In humans, this protein family comprises FcγRI (CD64); FcγRII (CD32), including isoforms FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB, and FcγRIIC; and FcγRIII (CD16), including isoforms FcγRIIIA and FcγRIIIB (Raghavan, and Bjorkman, Annu. Rev. Cell. Dev. Biol. 12 (1996) 181-220; Abes, et al., Expert Reviews VOL 5(6), (2009) 735-747). FcγRs are expressed on a variety of inmune cells, and formation of the Fc/FcγR complex recruits these cells to sites of bound antigen, typically resulting in signaling and subsequent immune responses such as release of inflammation mediators, B cell activation, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and cytotoxic attack. Furthermore, whereas FcγRI, FcγRIIA/c, and FcγRIIIA are activating receptors characterized by an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), FcγRIIB has an inhibition motif (ITIM) and is therefore inhibitory. Moreover, de Reys, et al., Blood, 81, (1993) 1792-1800 concluded that platelet activation and aggregation induced by monockemal antibodies, like for example CD9, is initiated by antigen recognition followed by an Fc domain dependent step, which involves the FcγRII-receptor (see also: Taylor, et al., Blood 96 (2000) 4254-4260). While FcγRI binds monomeric IgG with high affinity, FcγRIII and FcγRII are low-affinity receptors. interacting with complexed or aggregated IgG.
- The complement inflammatory cascade is a part of the innate immune response and is crucial to the ability for an individual to ward off infection. Another important Fe ligand is the complement protein C1q Fc binding to C1q mediates a process called complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). C1q is capable of binding six antibodies, although binding to two IgGs is sufficient to activate the complement cascade, C1q forms a complex with the C1r and C1s serine proteases to form the C1 complex of the complement pathway.
- In many circumstances, the binding and stimulation of effector functions mediated by the Fc region of immunoglobulins is highly beneficial. e.g. for a CD20 antibody. however, in certain instances it may be more advantageous to decrease or even to eliminate the effector fonction. This is particularly true for those antibodies designed to deliver a drug (e.g., toxins and isotopes) to the target cell where the Fc/FcγR mediated effector functions bring healthy immune cells into the proximity of the deadly payload, resulting in depletion of normal lymphoid tissue along with the target cells (Hutchins, et al., PNAS USA 92 (1995) 11980-11984; White, et al., Annu Rev Med 52 (2001) 125-145), In these cases the use of antibodies that poorly recruit complement or effector cells would be of a tremendous benefit (see also, Wa, et al., Cell Immunol 200 (2000) 16-26; Shields, et al., J. Biol Chem 276(9) (2001) 6591-6604: U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,194,551; 5,885,573 and PCT publication WO 04/029207).
- In other instances, for example, where blocking the interaction of a widely expressed receptor with its cognate ligand is the objective, it would be advantageous to decrease or eliminate all antibody effector function to reduce unwanted toxicity, Also, in the instance where a therapeutic antibody exhibited promiscuous binding across a number of human tissues it would be prudent to limit the targeting of effector function to a diverse set of tissues to limit toxicity. Last but not least, reduced affinity of antibodies to the FcγRII receptor in particular would be advantageous for antibodies inducing platelet activation and aggregation via FcγRII receptor binding, which would be a serious side-effect of such antibodies.
- Although there are certain subclasses of human immunoglobulins that lack specific effector functions, there are no known naturally occurring immunoglobulins that lack all effector functions. An alternate approach would be to engineer or mutate the critical residues in the Fc region that are responsible for effector function. For examples see PCT publications WO 2009/100309 (Medinimune), WO 2006/076594 (Xencor), WO 1999/58572 (Univ. Cambridge), US 2006/0134709 (Macrogenics), WO 2006/047350 (Xencor), WO 2006/053301 (Xencor), U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,737,056 (Genentech), 5,624,821 (Scotgen Pharmaceuticals), and US 2010/0166740 (Roche).
- The binding of IgG to activating and inhibitory Fcγreceptors or the first component of complement (C1q) depends on residues located in the hinge region and the CH2 domain. Two regions of the CH2 domain are critical for FcγRs and complement C1q binding, and have unique sequences. Substitution of human IgG1 and IgG2 residues at positions 233-236 and IgG4 residues at
positions 327, 330 and 331 greatly reduced ADCC and CDC (Armour, et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 29(8) (1999) 2613-2624; Shields, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276(9) (2001) 6591-6604), Idusogie, et al., J. Immunol 166 (2000) 2571-2575) mapped the C1q binding site for rituxan and showed that Pro329Ala reduced the ability of Rituximab to bind C1q and activate complement. Substitution of Pro329 with Ala has been reported to lead to a reduced binding to the FcγRI FcγRII and FcγRIIIA receptors (Shields, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276(9) (2001) 6591-6604) but this mutation has also been described as exhibiting a wildtype-like binding to the FcγRI and FcγRII and only a very small decrease in binding to the FcγRIHIA receptor (Table 1 and Table 2 inEP 1 068 241, Genentech). - Oganesyan, et al., Acta Cristallographica D64 (2008) 700-704 introduced the triple mutation L234F/L23SE/P331S into the lower hinge and C2H domain and showed a decrease in binding activity to human IgG1 molecules to human C1q receptor, FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIIIA.
- Still, there is an unmet need for antibodies with a strongly decreased ADCC and/or ADCP and/or CDC. Therefore, the aim of the current invention was to identify such antibodies. Surprisingly, it has been found that mutating the proline residue at Pro329 to glycine resulted in an unexpected strong inhibition of the FcγRIIIA and FcγRIIA receptor and in a strong inhibition of ADCC and CDC. Moreover, the combined mutation of Pro329 and for example L234A and L235A (LALA) lead to an unexpected strong inhibition of C1q, FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIIIA. Thus, a glycine residue appears to be unexpectedly superior over other amino acid substitutions, like alanine, for example, at position 329 in destroying the proline sandwich in the Fc/Fcγ receptor interlace.

FIG. 7 a ) Donor A,FIG. 7 b ) Donor B. - Definitions
- In the present specification and claims, the numbering of the residues in an immunoglobulin heavy chain is that of the EU index as in Kabat, et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Sth Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991), expressly incorporated herein by reference. The “EU index as in Kabat” refers to the residue numbering of the human IgG1 EU antibody.
- “Affinity” refers to the strength of the sum total of concovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (c.g., an antihody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen or an Fc receptor). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody/Fc receptor or antibody and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (Kd). Affinity can he measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Specific illustrative and exemplary embodiments for measuring binding affinity are described in the following.
- An “affinity matured” antibody refers to an antibody with one or more alterations in one or more hypervariable regions (HVRs), compared to a parent antibody which does not possess such alterations, such alterations resulting in an improvement in the affinity of the antibody for antigen.
- An “amino acid modification” refers to a change in the amino acid sequence of a predetermined amino acid sequence. Exemplary modifications include an amino acid substitution, insertion and/or deletion. The preferred amino acid modification herein is a substitution. An “amino acid modification at” a specified position, e.g. of the Fc region, refers to the substitution or deletion of the specified residuo, or the insertion of at least one amino acid residue adjacent the specified residue. By insertion “adjacent” a specified residue is meant insertion within one to two residues thereof. The insertion may be N-terminal or C-terminal to the specified residue.
- An “amino acid substitution” refers to the replacement of at least one existing amino acid residue in a predetermined amino acid sequence with another different “replacement” amino acid residue. The replacement residue or residues may be “naturally occurring amino acid residues” (i.e. encoded by the genetic code) and selected from the group consisting of: alanine (Ala): arginine (Arg); asparagine (Asn); aspartic acid (Asp); cysteine (Cys); glutamine (Gln); glutamic acid (Glo): glycine (Gly); histidine (His); isoleucine (Ile): leucine (Leu); lysine (Lys); methionine (Met); phenylalanine (Phe); proline (Pro); serine (Ser); threonine (The); tryptophan (Trp); tyrosine (Tyr); and valine (Val), Preferably, the replacement residue is not cysteine. Substitution with one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues is also encompassed by the definition of an amino acid substitution herein. A “non-naturally occurring amino acid residue” refers to a residue, other than those naturally occurring amino acid residues listed above, which is able to covalently bind adjacent amino acid residues(s) in a polypeptide chain. Examples of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues include norleucine, ornithine, norvaline, homoscrine and other amino acid residue analogues such as those described in Ellman, et al., Meth. Enzym. 202 (1991) 301-336. To generate such non-naturally occurring amino acid residues, the procedures of Noren, et al., Science 244 (1989) 182 and Ellman, et al., supra, can be used. Briefly, these procedures involve chemically activating a suppressor IRNA with a non-naturally occurring amino acid residue followed by in vitro transcription and translation of the RNA.
- An “amino acid insertion” refers to the incorporation of at least one amino acid into a predetermined amino acid sequence. While the insertion will usually consist of the insertion of one or two amino acid residues, the present application contemplates larger “peptide insertions”, e.g. insertion of about three to about five or even up to about ten amino acid residues. The inserted residue(s) may be naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring as disclosed above.
- An “amino acid deletion” refers to the removal of at least one amino acid residue from a predetermined amino acid sequence.
- The term “antibody” herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, moltispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.
- The term “antibody variant” as used herein refers to a variant of a wildtype antibody, characterized in that an alteration in the amino acid sequence relative to the wildtype antibody occurs in the antibody variant, e.g. introduced by mutations a specific amino acid residues in the wildtype antibody.
- The term “antibody effector function(s),” or “effector function” as used herein refers to a function contributed by an Fc effector domain(s) of an IgG (e.g., the Fc region of an immunoglobulin). Such function can be effected by, for example, binding of an Fc effector domain(s) to an Fc receptor on an immune cell with phagocytic or lytic activity or hy binding of an Fc effector domain(s) to components of the complement system. Typical effector functions are ADCC, ADCP and CDC.
- An “antibody fragment” refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab′, Fab′-SH, F(ab′)2; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g. scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
- An “antibody that binds to the same epitope” as a reference antibody refers to an antibody that blocks binding of the reference antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more, and conversely, the reference antibody blocks binding of the antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more. An exemplary competition assay is provided herein.
- “Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” and “ADCC” refer to a cell-mediated reaction in which nonspecific cytotoxic cells that express FcRs (e.g. Natural Killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and macrophages) recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause lysis of the target cell. The primary cells for mediating ADCC, NK cells, express FcγRIII only, whereas monocytes express FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII. FcR expression on hematopoietic cells is summarized in Table 3 on page 464 of Ravetch, and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9 (1991) 457-492.
- The term “Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis” and “ADCP” refer to a process by which antibody-coated cells are internalized, either in whole or in part, by phagocytic immune cells (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells) that bind to an immunoglobulin Fc region.
- The term “binding domain” refers to the region of a polypeptide that binds to another molecule. In the case of an FcR, the binding domain can comprise a portion of a polypeptide chain thereof (e.g. the α chain thereof) which is responsible for binding an Fc region. One useful binding domain is the extracellular domain of an FcR α chain.
- The term “binding” to an Fc receptor used herein means the binding of the antibody to a Fc receptor in a BIAcore(R) assay for example (Pharmacia Biosensor AB, Uppsala, Sweden).
- In the BIAcore(R) assay the Fc receptor is bound to a surface and binding of the variant, e.g. the antibody variant to which mutations have been introduced, is measured by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The affinity of the binding is defined by the terms ka (rate constant for the association of the antibody from the antibody/Fc receptor complex), kd (dissociation constant), and KD (kd/ka). Alternatively, the binding signal of a SPR sensogram can be compared directly to the response signal of a reference, with respect to the resonance signal height and the dissociation behaviors.
- “C1q” is a polypeptide that includes a binding site for the Fc region of an immunoglobulin. C1q together with two serine proteases, C1r and C1s, forms the complex C1, the first component of the complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) pathway. Human C1q can be purchased commercially from, e.g. Quidel, San Diego, Calif.
- The “CH2 domain” of a human IgG Fc region (also referred to as “Cy2” domain) usually extends from about amino acid 231 to about amino acid 340, The CH2 domain is unique in that it is not closely paired with another domain. Rather, two N-linked branched carbohydrate chains are interposed between the two CH2 domains of an intact native IgG molecule. It has been speculated that the carbohydrate may provide a substitute for the domain-domain pairing and help stabilize the CH2 domain (Burton, Molec. Immunol. 22 (1985) 161-206).
- The “CH3 domain” comprises the stretch of residues C-terminal to a CH2 domain in an Fc region (i.c. from about amino acid residue 341 to about amino acid residue 447 of an IgG).
- The terms “cancer” and “cancerous” refer to or describe the physiological condition in mammals that is typically characterized by unregulated cell growth. Examples of cancer include but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. More particular examples of such cancers include squamous cell cancer, small-cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma of the lung, squamous carcinoma of the lang, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial or uterine carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney cancer. liver cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma and various types of head and neck cancer.
- As used herein, the expressions “cell,” “cell line,” and “cell culture” are used interchangeably and all such designations include progeny. Thus, the words “transformants” and “transformed cells” include the primary subject cell and cultures derived there from without regard for the number of transfers. It is also understood that all progeny may not be precisely identical in DNA content, due to deliberate or inadvertent mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened for in the originally transformed cell are included. Where distinct designations are intended, it will be clear from the context.
- The term “chimeric” antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a different source of species.
- The “class” of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or constant region possessed by its heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, β, ϵ, γ and μ, respectively.
- The term “cytotoxic agent” as used herein refers to a substance that inhibits or prevents a cellular function and/or causes cell death or destruction. Cytotoxic agents include, but are not limited to, radioactive isotopes (e.g., At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, Pb212 and radioactive isotopes of Lu); chemotherapeutic agents or drugs (e.g., methotrexate, adriamicin, vinca alkaloids (vincristine, vinblastine, ctoposide), doxorubicin, melphalan, mitomycin C, chlorambucil, daunorubicin or other intercalating agents); growth inhibitory agents; enzymes and fragments thereof such as nucleolytic enzymes; antibiotics; toxins such as small molecule toxins or enzymatically active toxins of bacterial, fungal, plant or animal origin, including fragments and/or variants thereof; and the various antitumor or anticancer agents disclosed below.
- The term “complement-dependent cytotoxicity” or CDC refers to a mechanism for inducing cell death in which an Fc effector domain(s) of a target-bound antibody activates a series of enzymatic reactions culminating in the formation of holes in the target cell membrane. Typically, antigen-antibody complexes such as those on antibody-coated target cells bind and activate complement component C1q which in turn activates the complement cascade leading to target cell death. Activation of complement may also result in deposition of complement components on the target cell surface that facilitate ADCC by binding complement receptors (e.g., CR3) on leukocytes.
- A “disorder” is any condition that would benefit from treatment with a polypeptide. like antibodies comprising an Fc variant. This includes chronic and acute disorders or diseases including those pathological conditions which predispose the mammal to the disorder in question. In one embodiment, the disorder is cancer.
- “Effector functions” refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody, which vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include: C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC): Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis (ADCP); down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor); and B cell activation.
- A “reduced effector function” as used herein refers to a reduction of a specific effector function, like for example ADCC or CDC, in comparison to a control (for example a polypeptide with a wildtype Fc region), by at least 20% and a “strongly reduced effector fonction” as used herein refers to a reduction of a specific effector function, like for example ADCC or CDC, in comparison to a control, by at least 50%.
- An “effective amount” of an agent, e.g., a pharmaceutical formulation, refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic result.
- The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term inchides native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one embodiment, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-terminos of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may or may not be present. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat, et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991).
- A “variant Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence which differs from that of a “native” or “wildtype” sequence Fc region by virtue of at least one “amino acid modification” as herein defined. Preferably, the variant Fc region has at least one amino acid substitution compared to a native sequence Fc region or to the Fc region of a parent polypeptide, e.g. from about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, and preferably from about one to about five amino acid substitutions in a native sequence Fc region or in the Fc region of the parent polypeptide. The variant Fc region herein will preferably possess at least about 80% homology with a native sequence Fc region and/or with an Fc region of a parent polypeptide, and most preferably at least about 90% homology therewith, more preferably at least about 95% homology therewith.
- The term “Fc-variant” as used herein refers to a polypeptide comprising a modification in an Fc domain. The Fc variants of the present invention are defined according to the amino acid modifications that compose them. Thus, for example. P329G is an Fc variant with the substitution of proline with glycine at position 329 relative to the parent Fc polypeptide, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index. The identity of the wildtype amino acid may be unspecified, in which case the aforementioned variant is referred to as P329G. For all positions discussed in the present invention, numbering is according to the EU index. The EU index of EU index as in Kabat or EU numbering scheme refers to the numbering of the EU antibody (Edelman, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 63 (1969) 78-85, hereby entirely incorporated by reference.) The modification can be an addition, deletion, or substitution. Substitutions can include naturally occurring amino acids and non-naturally occurring amino acids. Variants may comprise non-natural amino acids. Examples include U.S. Pat. No. 6,586,207; WO 98/48032; WO 03/073238; US 2004/0214988 A1; WO 05/35727 A2; WO 05/74524 A2; Chin, J.

- The terms “Fc receptor” or “FcR” are used to describe a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. The preferred FcR is a native sequence human FcR. Moreover, a preferred FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. FcγRII receptors include FcγRIIA (an “activating receptor”) and FcγRIIB (an “inhibiting receptor”), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof, Activating receptor FcγRIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor FcγRIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain. (see review in Daeron, M., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 15 (1997) 203-234). FcRs are reviewed in Ravetch, and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9 (1991) 457-492; Capel, et al., Immunomethods 4 (1994) 25-34; and de Haas, et al., J. Lab, Clin. Med. 126 (1995) 330-41. Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term “FcR” herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor, FcRn, which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer, et al., J. Immunol. 117 (1976) 587 and Kim, et al., J. Immunol. 24 (1994) 249).

The FcRn may be from any organism, including but not limited to humans, mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys. As is known in the art, the functional FcRn protein comprises two polypeptides, often referred to as the heavy chain and light chain. The light chain is beta-2-microglobulin and the heavy chain is encoded by the FcRn gene. Unless other wise noted herein, FcRn or an FcRn protein refers to the complex of FoRn heavy chain with beta-2-microglobulin.
- By “wildtype or parent polypeptide” as used herein is meant an unmodified polypeptide that is subsequently modified to generate a variant. The wildtype polypeptide may be a naturally occurring polypeptide, or a variant or engineered version of a naturally occurring polypeptide. Wildtype polypeptide may refer to the polypeptide itself, compositions that comprise the parent polypeptide, or the amino acid sequence that encodes it. Accordingly, by “wildtype immunoglobulin” as used herein is meant an unmodified immunoglobulin polypeptide that is modified to generate a variant, and by “wildtype antibody” as used herein is meant an unmodified antibody that is modified to generate a variant antibody. It should be noted that “wildtype antibody” includes known commercial, recombinantly produced antibodies as outlined below.

- The terms “full length antibody,” “intact antibody.” and “whole antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure or having heavy chains that contain an Fc region as defined herein.
- A “functional Fc region” possesses an “effector function” of a native sequence Fe region. Exemplary “effector functions” include C1q binding; complement dependent cytotoxicity; Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis; down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor; BCR), etc. Such effector functions generally require the Fc region to be combined with a binding domain (e.g. an antibody variable domain) and can be assessed using various assays as herein disclosed, for example.
- “Hinge region” is generally defined as stretching from Glu216 to Pro230 of human IgG1 (Burton, Molec. Immunol. 22 (1985) 161-206). Hinge regions of other IgG isotypes may be aligned with the IgGI sequence by placing the first and last cysteine residues forming inter-heavy chain S═S bonds in the same positions.

Host cells include “transformants” and “transformed cells,” which include the primary transformed cell and progeny derived there from without regard to the nomber of passages. Progeny may not be completely identical in nucleic acid content to a parent cell, but may contain mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened or selected for in the originally transformed cell are included herein.
- A “human antibody” is one which possesses an amino acid sequence which corresponds to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell or derived from a non-human source that utilizes human antibody repertoires or other buman. antibody-encoding sequences. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen-binding residues.
- “Human effector cells” are leukocytes which express one or more FcRs and perform effector functions, Preferably, the cells express at least FcγRIII and perform ADCC effector function. Examples of human leukocytes which mediate ADCC include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, cytotoxic T cells and neutrophils; with PBMCs and NK cells being preferred. The effector cells may be isolated from a native source thereof, e.g. from blood or PBMCs as described herein.

- The term “ligand binding domain” as used herein refers to any native cell-surface receptor or any region or derivative thereof retaining at least a qualitative ligand binding ability of a corresponding native receptor. In a specific embodiment, the receptor is from a cell-surface polypeptide having an extracellular domain that is homologous to a member of the immunoglobulin supergenefamily. Other receptors, which are not members of the immunoglobulin supergenefamily but are nonetheless specifically covered by this definition, are receptors for cytokines, and in particular receptors with tyrosine kinase activity (receptor tyrosine kinases) members of the hematopoietin and nerve growth factor receptor superfamilies, and cell adhesion molecules, e.g. (E-, L- and P-) selectins.
- The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, such methods and other exemplary methods for making monoclonal antibodies being described herein.
- A “naked antibody” refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety) or radiolabel. The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical formulation.
- “Native antibodies” refer to naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecules with varying structures. For example, native IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From N- to C-terminus, cach heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain or a heavy chain variable domain, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from N- to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain or a light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light (CL) domain. The light chain of an antibody may be assigned to one of two types, called kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant and variable dornain.
- A “native sequence Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence identical to the amino acid sequence of an Fc region found in nature. Native sequence human Fc regions inclode a native sequence human IgGI Fc region (non-A and A allotypes); native sequence human IgG2 Fc region; native sequence human IgG3 Fc region; and native sequence human IgG4 Fc region as well as naturally occurring variants thereof.
- Nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation. Generally, “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice.
- The term “package insert” is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packages of therapeutic products, that contain information about the indications, usage, dosage, administration, combination therapy, contraindications and/or warnings concerning the use of such therapeutic products.
- By “position” as used herein is meant a location in the sequence of a protein. Positions may be nombered sequentially, or according to an established format, for example the EU index for antibody numbering.
- The terms “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues, comprising natural or non-natural amino acid residues, and are not limited to a minimum length.
- Thus, peptides, oligopeptides, dimers, multimers, and the like are included within the definition. Both full-length proteins and fragments thereof are encompassed by the definition. The terms also include post-translational modifications of the polypeptide, including, for example, glycosylation, sialylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation.
- Furthermore, a “polypeptide” herein also refers to a modified protein such as single ox multiple amino acid residue deletions, additions, and substitutions to the native sequence, as long as the protein maintains a desired activity. For example, a serine residue may be substituted to eliminate a single reactive cysteine or to remove disulfide bonding or a conservative amino acid substitution may be made to eliminate a cleavage site. These modifications may be deliberate, as through site-directed mutagenesis, or may be accidental, such as through mutations of hosts which produce the proteins or errors due to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
- The term “wildtype polypeptide” and “wildtype (human) Fc region” as used herein refers to a polypeptide and Fc region, respectively, comprising an amino acid sequence which lacks one or more of the Fc region modifications disclosed herein. because they have not been introduced, and serve for example as controls. The wildtype polypeptide may comprise a native sequence Fc region or an Fc region with pre-existing amino acid sequence modifications (such as additions, deletions and/or substitutions).
- The term “pharmaceutical formulation” refers to a preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of an active ingredient contained therein to be effective, and which contains no additional componente which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the formulation would be administered.
- A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to an Ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, a buffer, excipient, stabilizer, or preservative.
- A polypeptide with “altered” FR binding affinity or ADCC activity is one which has either enhanced or diminished FcR binding activity and/or ADCC activity compared to a parent polypeptide or to a polypeptide comprising a native sequence Fc region. The polypeptide variant which “displays increased binding” to an FcR binds at least one FcR with better affinity than the parent polypeptide. The polypeptide variant which “displays decreased binding” to an FcR, binds at least one FOR with worse affinity than a parent polypeptide. Such variants which display decreased binding to an FcR may possess little or no appreciable binding to an FcR, e.g., 0-20% binding to the FcR compared to a native sequence IgG Fc region, e.g. as determined in the Examples herein.
- The polypeptide which binds an FcR with “reduced affinity” than a parent polypeptide, is one which binds any one or more of the above identified FcRs with substantially reduced binding affinity than the parent antibody, when the amounts of polypeptide variant and parent polypeptide in the binding assay are essentially the same. For example, the polypeptide variant with reduced FcR binding affinity may display from about 1.15 fold. to about 100 fold, e.g. from about 1.2 fold to about 50 fold reduction in FcR binding affinity compared to the parent polypeptide, where FcR binding affinity is determined, for example, as disclosed in the Examples herein.
- The polypeptide comprising an Fc variant which “mediates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in the presence of human effector cells less effectively” than a parent or wildtype polypeptide is one which in vitro or in vivo is substantially less effective at mediating ADCC, when the amounts of polypeptide variant and parent antibody used in the assay are essentially the same. Generally, such variants will be identified using the in vitro ADCC assay as herein disclosed, but other assays or methods for determining ADCC activity, e.g. in an animal model etc, are contemplated. The preferred variant is from about 1.5 fold to about 100 fold, e.g. from about two fold to about fifty fold, less effective at mediating ADCC than the parent, e.g. in the in vitro assay disclosed herein.
- A “receptor” is a polypeptide capable of binding at least one ligand. The preferred receptor is a cell-surface receptor having an extracellular ligand-binding domain. and, optionally, other domains (e.g. transmembrane domain, intracellular domain and/or membrane anchor). The receptor to be evaluated in the assay described herein may be an intact receptor or a fragment or derivative thereof (e.g. a fusion protein comprising the binding domain of the receptor fused to one or more heterologous polypeptides). Moreover, the receptor to be evaluated for its binding properties may be present in a cell or isolated and optionally coated on an assay plate or some other solid phase.
- The term “receptor binding domain” is used to designate any native ligand for a receptor, including cell adhesion molecules, or any region or derivative of such native ligand retaining at least a qualitative receptor binding ability of a corresponding native ligand. This definition, among others, specifically includes binding sequences from ligands for the above-mentioned receptors.
- As used herein, “treatment” (and grammatical variations thereof such as “treat” or “treating”) refers to clinical intervention in an attempt to alter the natural course of the individual being treated, and can be performed either for prophylaxis or during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include, but are not limited to, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. In some embodiments, antibodies of the invention are used to delay development of a disease or to slow the progression of a disease.
- By “variant protein” or “protein variant”, or “variant” as used herein is meant a protein that differs from that of a parent protein by virtue of at least one amino acid modification, Protein variant may refer to the protein itself, a composition comprising the protein, or the amino sequence that encodes it. Preferably, the protein variant has at least one amino acid modification compared to the parent protein, e.g. from about one to about seventy amino acid modifications, and preferably from about one to about five amino acid modifications compared to the parent. The protein variant sequence herein will preferably possess at least about 80% homology with a parent protein sequence, and most preferably at least about 90% homology, more preferably at least about 95% homology. Variant protein can refer to the variant protein itself, compositions comprising the protein variant, or the DNA sequence that encodes it. Accordingly, by “antibody variant” or “variant antibody” as used herein is meant an antibody that differs from a parent antibody by virtue of at least one amino acid modification, “IgG variant” or “variant IgG” as used herein is meant an antibody that differs from a parent IgG by virtue of at least one amino acid modification, and “immunoglobulin variant” or “variant immunoglobulin” as used herein is meant an immunoglobulin sequence that differs from that of a parent immunoglobulin sequence by virtue of at least one amino acid modification.
- The term “variable region” or “variable domain” refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to antigen. The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain (VH and VL, respectively) of a native antibody generally have similar structures, with each domain comprising four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three hypervariable regions (HVRs). (See, e.g., Kindt, et al., Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co. (2007) page 91). A single VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind a particular antigen may be isolated using a VH or VL domain from an antibody that binds the antigen to screen a library of complementary VL or VH domains, respectively. See, e.g., Portolano, et al., J. Immunol. 150 (1993) 880-887; Clackson, et al., Nature 352 (1991) 624-628.
- The term “vector,” as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of propagating another nucleic acid to which it is linked, The term includes the vector as a self-replicating nucleic acid structure as well as the vector incorporated into the genome of a host cell into which it has been introduced. Certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of nucleic acids to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as “expression vectors.”
- The present application is directed to polypeptides that include amino acid modifications that modalate binding to Fc receptors, in particularly to Fcγ receptors.
- The invention herein relates to a method for making a polypeptide comprising a Fe variant. The “parent”, “starting” , “nonvariant” or wildtype polypeptide is prepared using techniques available in the art for generating polypeptides or antibodies comprising an Fc region. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the parent. polypeptide is an antibody and exemplary methods for generating antibodies are described in more detail in the following sections. The parent polypeptide may, however, be any other polypeptide comprising an Fc region, e.g. an immunoadhesin. Methods for making immunoadhesins are elaborated in more detail herein below.
- In an alternative embodiment, a variant Fc region (Fc variant) may be generated according to the methods herein disclosed and this Fc variant can be fused to a heterologous polypeptide of choice, such as an antibody variable domain or binding domain of a receptor or ligand.
- The wildtype polypeptide comprises an Fc region. Generally the Fc region of the wildtype polypeptide will comprise a native or wildtype sequence Fc region, and preferably a human native sequence Fc region (human Fc region). However, the Fc region of the wildtype polypeptide may have one or more pre-existing amino acid sequence alterations or modifications from a native sequence Fc region. For example, the C1q or Fcγ binding activity of the Fc region may have been previously altered (other types of Fc region modifications are described in more detail below). In a further embodiment the parent polypeptide Fc region is “conceptual” and, while it does not physically exist, the antibody engineer may decide upon a desired variant Fc region amino acid sequence and generate a polypeptide comprising that sequence or a DNA encoding the desired variant Fc region amino acid sequence.
- In the preferred embodiment of the invention, however, a nucleic acid encoding an Fc region of a wildtype polypeptide is available and this nucleic acid sequence is altered to generate a variant nucleic acid sequence encoding the Fc region variant.
- DNA encoding an amino acid sequence variant of the starting polypeptide is prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, preparation by site-directed (or oligonucleotide-mediated) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared DNA encoding the polypeptide
- Site-directed mutagenesis is a preferred method for preparing substitution variants. This technique is well known in the art (sec, e.g., Carter, et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 13 (1985) 4431-4443 and Kunkel, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82 (1985) 488). Briefly, in carrying out site-directed mutagenesis of DNA, the starting DNA is altered by first hybridizing an oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation to a single strand of such starting DNA. After hybridization, a DNA polymerase is used to synthesize an entire second strand, using the hybridized oligonucleotide as a primer, and using the single strand of the starting DNA as a template. Thus, the oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation is incorporated in the resulting double stranded DNA.
- PCR mutagenesis is also suitable for making amino acid sequence variants of the starting polypeptide. See Higuchi, in PCR Protocols, Academic Press (1990) pp. 177-183; and Vallette, et al., Nuc. Acids Res. 17 (1989) 723-733. Briefly, when small amounts of template DNA are used as starting material in a PCR, primers that differ slightly in sequence from the corresponding region in a template DNA can be used to generate relatively large quantities of a specific DNA fragment that differs from the template sequence only at the positions where the primers differ from the template.
- Another method for preparing variants, cassette mutagenesis, is based on the technique described by Wells, et al., Gene 34 (1985) 315-323.

- While it is preferred to alter binding to a FcγR, Fc region variants with altered binding affinity for the neonatal receptor (FcRn) are also contemplated herein. Fc region variants with improved affinity for FcRn are anticipated to have longer serum half-lives, and such molecules will have useful applications in methods of treating mammals where long half-life of the administered polypeptide is desired, e.g., to treat a chronic disease or disorder. Fc region variants with decreased FcRn binding affinity, on the contrary, are expected to have shorter half-lives, and such molecules may, for example, be administered to a mammal where a shortened circulation time may be advantageous, e.g. for in vivo diagnostic imaging or for polypeptides which have toxic side effects when left circulating in the blood stream for extended periods, etc. Fc region variants with decreased FcRn binding affinity are anticipated to be less likely to cross the placenta, and thus may be utilized in the treatment of diseases or disorders in pregnant women.

- Reduced Binding to Fc Ligands
- One skilled in the art will understand that antibodies of the invention may have altered (relative to an unmodified antibody) FcγR and/or C1q binding properties (examples of binding properties include but are not limited to, binding specificity, equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), dissociation and association rates (kor and Kon, respectively) binding affinity and/or avidity) and that certain alterations are more or less desirable. It is known in the art that the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) is defined as Kou/km. One skilled in the art can determine which kinetic parameter is most important for a given antibody application. For example, a modification that reduces binding to one or more positive regulator (e.g., FcγRIIIA) and/or enhanced binding to an inhibitory Fc receptor (e.g., FcγRIIB) would be suitable for reducing ADCC activity. Accordingly, the ratio of binding affinities (e.g., equilibrium dissociation constants (KD)) can indicate if the ADCC activity of an antibody of the invention is enhanced or decreased. Additionally, a modification that reduces binding to C1q would be suitable for reducing or eliminating CDC activity. The affinities and binding properties of an Fc region for its ligand, may be determined by a variety of in vitro assay methods (biochemical or immunological based assays) known in the art for determining Fc-FcγR. interactions, i.e., specific binding of an Fc region to an FcγR including but not limited to, equilibrium methods (e.g., enzyme-linked immuno absorbent assay (ELISA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA)), or kinetics (c.g., BIACORE® analysis), and other methods such as indirect binding assays, competitive inhibition assays, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), gel electrophoresis and chromatography (e.g., gel filtration). These and other methods may utilize a label on one or more of the components being examined and/or employ a variety of detection methods including but not limited to chromogenic, fluorescent, luminescent, or isotopic labels, A detailed description of binding affinities and kinetics can be found in Paul, W. E., ed., Fundamental Immunology, 4th Ed., Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia (1999).

In a further aspect of the invention this modulation is down-modulation or reduction in effect. In still another aspect of the invention this is a modulation of ADCC and still in another aspect of the invention this modulation is a down-modulation of ADCC. In still another aspect this modulation is a down-modulation of ADCC and CDC, still in another embodiment this is a down-modulation is ADCC only, in still another embodiment this is a down-modulation of ADCC and CDC and/or ADCP. In still another aspect of the invention the polypeptides comprising an Fc variant according to the invention down-modulate or reduce ADCC/CDC and ADCP.
- In a further aspect of the invention the reduction or down-modulation of ADCC of CDC or ADCP induced by the polypeptide comprising the Fc variant, is a reduction to 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 50 or 75% of the value observed for induction of ADCC, or CDC or ADCP, respectively, by the polypeptide comprising the wildtype Fc region.

- Reduced ADCC Activity
- In vitro and/or in vivo cytotoxicity assays can be conducted to confirm the reduction/depletion of CDC aud/or ADCC activities. For example, Pe receptor (FcR) binding assays can be conducted to ensure that the antibody lacks FcγR binding (hence likely lacking ADCC activity), but retains FcRn binding ability. The primary cells for mediating ADCC, NK cells, express FcγRILI only, whereas monocytes express FcγRI, RII and RIII. FOR expression on hematopoietic cells is summarized in Table 3 on page 464 of Ravetch, and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9 (1991) 457-492. Non-limiting examples of in vitro assays to assess ADCC activity of a molecule of interest is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,362 (see, e.g. Hellstrom, L, et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 83 (1986) 7059-7063) and Hellstrom, L, et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 82 (1985) 1499-1502; U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,337 (see Bruggemann, M., et al., J. Exp. Med. 166 (1987) 1351-1361). Alternatively, non-radioactive assays methods may be employed (see, for example, ACTI™ non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay for flow cytometry (CellTechnology, Inc. Mountain View, CA; and CytoTox 96® non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay (Promega, Madison, WI). Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo, e.g., in a animal model such as that disclosed in Clynes, et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 95 (1998) 652-656. C1q binding assays may also be carried out to confirm that the antibody is unable to bind C1q and hence lacks CDC activity. See. e.g., C1q and C3c binding ELISA in WO 2006/029879 and WO 2005/100402. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay may he performed (see, for example, Gazzano-Santoro, et al., J. Immunol. Methods 202 (1996) 163; Cragg, M. S., et al., Blood 101 (2003) 1045-1052; and Cragg, M. S., and Glennie, M. J., Blood 103 (2004) 2738-2743). FcRn binding and in vivo clearance/half life determinations can also be performed using methods known in the art (see, e.g., Petkova, S. B., et al., Int'l. Immunol. 18(12) (2006) 1759-1769).

In certain embodiments, polypeptides comprising an Fc variant of the invention have no detectable ADCC activity. In specific embodiments, the reduction and/or ablation of ADCC activity may be attributed to the reduced affinity of the polypeptides comprising a Fc variant of the invention for Fc ligands and/or receptors. In a specific embodiment of the invention the down-modulation of ADCC is a decrease in potency such that the EC50 of said polypeptide comprising an Fc variant is approximately 10-fold of more reduced compared to the wildtype Fc polypeptide.

In certain aspects polypeptide comprising an Fc variant of the invention exhibit no detectable CDC activities. In specific embodiments, the reduction and/or ablation of CDC activity may be attributed to the reduced affinity of the polypeptides comprising an Fc variant for Fc ligands and/or receptors.

- Antigen Selection and Preparation
- Where the polypeptide is an antibody, it is directed against an antigen of interest. Preferably, the antigen is a biologically important polypeptide and administration of the antibody to a mammal suffering from a disease or disorder can result in a therapeutic benefit in that mammal. However, antibodies directed against nonpolypeptide antigens (such as tumor-associated glycolipid antigens; see U.S. Pat. No. 5,001,178) are also contemplated.
- Where the antigen is a polypeptide, it may be a transmembrane molecule (e.g. receptor) or ligand such as a growth factor. Exemplary antigens include molecules such as renin; a growth hormone, including human growth hormone and bovine growth hormone; growth hormone releasing factor; parathyroid hormone; thyroid stimulating hormone; lipoproteins; alpha-1-antitrypsin; insulin A-chain; insulin B-chain; proinsulin; follicle stimulating hormone; calcitonin; luteinizing hormone; glucagon; clotting factors such as factor VIIIC, factor IX, tissue factor (TF), and von Willebrands factor; anti-clotting factors such as Protein C; atrial natriuretic factor; lung surfactant; a plasminogen activator, such as urokinase or human urine or tissne-type plasminogen activator (t-PA): bombesin; thrombin; bemopoietic growth factor; tumor necrosis factor-alpha and -beta; enkephalinase; RANTES (regulated on activation normally T-cell expressed and secreted); human macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1-alpha); a serum albumin such as human serum albumin; Muellerian-inhibiting substance; relaxin A-chain; relaxin B-chain; prorelaxin; mouse gonadotropin-associated peptide; a microbial protein, such as beta-lactamase: DNase; IgE; a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen (CTLA), such as CTLA-4; inhibin; activin; vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); receptors for hormones or growth factors; protein A or D; rheumatoid factors; a neurotrophic factor such as bone-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3, 4, 5, or -6 (NT-3, NT-4, NT-5, or NT-6), or a nerve growth factor such as NGF.B; platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF); fibroblast growth factor such as aFGF and bFGF; epidermal growth factor (EGF); transforming growth factor (TGF) such as TGF-alpha and TGF-beta, including TOF-B1, TGF-B2, TGF-B3, TGF-B4, or TGF-β5; insulin-like growth factor-I and -II (IGF-I and IGF-II); des(1-3)-IGF-I (brain IGF-I), insulin-like growth factor binding proteins; CD proteins such as CD4, CDS, CD19 and CD20; erythropoietin; osteoinductive factors; immunotoxins; a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP); an interferon such as interferon-alpha, -beta, and -gamma; colony stimulating factors (CSFs), e.g., M-CSE, GM-CSF, and G-CSF; interleukins (ILs), e.g., IL-1 to IL-10; superoxide dismutase; surface membrane proteins; decay accelerating factor; viral antigen such as, for example, a portion of the AIDS envelope; transport proteins; homing 30 receptors; addressins; regulatory proteins; integrins such as CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD18, an ICAM, VLA-4 and VCAM; a tumor associated antigen such as HER2, HER3 or HER4 receptor; and fragments of any of the above-listed polypeptides.
- Preferred molecular targets for antibodies encompassed by the present invention include CD proteins such as CD4, CD8, CD19, CD20 and CD34; members of the ErbB receptor family such as the BGF receptor, HER2, HER3 or HER4 receptor; cell adhesion molecules such as LFA-1, Mac1, p150.95, VLA-4, ICAM-1, VCAM, α4/β7 integrin, and αv/β3 integrin including either α or β subunits thereof (e.g. anti-CDIIa, anti-CD18 or anti-CD11b antibodies); growth factors such as VEGF; tissue factor (TF); alpha interferon (α-IFN); an interleukin, such as IL-8; IgB; blood group antigens; flk2/flt3 receptor; obesity (OB) receptor; mp1 receptor; CTLA-4; protein C etc.
- Soluble antigens or fragments thereof, optionally conjugated to other molecules, can be used as immunogens for generating antibodies. For transmembrane molecules, such as receptors, fragments of these (e.g. the extracellular domain of a receptor) can be used as the immunogen. Alternatively, cells expressing the transmembrane molecule can be used as the immunogen. Such cells can be derived from a natural source (e.g. cancer cell lines) or may be cells which have been transformed by recombinant techniques to express the transmembrane molecule. Other antigens and forms thereof useful for preparing antibodies will be apparent to those in the art.
- Polyclonal Antibodies
- Polyclonal antibodies are preferably raised in animals by multiple subcutaneous (sc) or intraperitoneal (ip) injections of the relevant antigen and an adjuvant. It may be useful to conjugate the relevant antigen to a protein that is immunogenic in the species to be immunized, e.g., keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin, or soybean trypsin inhibitor asing a bifunctional or derivatizing agent, for example, maleimidobenzoyl sulfosuccinimide ester (conjugation through cysteine residues), N-hydroxysuccinimide (through lysine residues), glutaraldehyde, succinic anhydride, SOCH, or carbodiimide where R and R1 are different alkyl groups.
- Animals are immunized against the antigen, immunogenic conjugates, or derivatives by combining, c.g., 100 μg or 5 μg of the protein or conjugate (for rabbits or mice, respectively) with 3 volumes of Freund's complete adjuvant and injecting the solution intradermally at multiple sites. One month later the animals are boosted with for example 1/10 of the original amount of peptide or conjugate in Freund's complete adjuvant by subcutaneous injection at multiple sites. Seven to 14 days later the animals are bled and the serum is assayed for antibody titer. Animals are boosted until the titer plateaus. Preferably, the animal is boosted with the conjugate of the same antigen, but conjugated to a different protein and/or through a different cross-linking reagent. Conjugates also can be made in recombinant cell culture as protein fusions. Also, aggregating agents such as alum are suitably used to enhance the immune response.
- Monoclonal Antibodies
- Monoclonal antibodies may be made using the hybridoma method first described. by Kohler, et al., Nature, 256 (1975) 495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567).
- In the hybridoma method, a mouse or other appropriate host animal, such as a hamster or macaque monkey, is immunized as hereinabove described to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the protein used for immunization. Alternatively, lymphocytes may be immunized in vitro. Lymphocytes then are fused with myeloma cells using a suitable fusing agent, such as polyethylene glycol, to form a hybridoma cell (Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press (1986) pp. 59-103).
- The hybridoma cells thus prepared are seeded and grown in a suitable culture medium that preferably contains one or more substances that inhibit the growth or survival of the unfused, parental myeloma cells. For example, if the parental myeloma cells lack the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT), the culture medium for the hybridomas typically will include hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (HAT medium), which substances prevent the growth of HGPRT-deficient cells.
- Preferred myeloma cells are those that fuse efficiently, support stable high-level production of antibody by the selected antibody-producing cells, and are sensitive to a medium such as HAT medium. Among these, preferred myeloma cell lines are murine myeloma lines, such as those derived from MOPC-21 and MPC-11 mouse tumore available from the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center, San Diego, Calif. USA, and SP-2 or X63-Ag8-653 cells available from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. USA. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines also have been described for the production of human monoclonal antibodies (Kozbor, J., Inmunol. 133 (1984) 3001; Brodeur, et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York (1987) pp. 51-63).
- Culture medium in which hybridoma cells are growing is assayed for production of monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen. Preferably, the binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies produced by bybridoma cells is determined by immunoprecipitation or by an in vitro binding assay, such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA).
- After hybridoma cells are identified that produce antibodies of the desired specificity, affinity, and/or activity, the clones may be suhcloned by limiting dilation procedures and grown by standard methods (Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press (1986) pp. 59-103). Suitable culture media for this purpose include, for example, D-MEM or RPMI-1640 medium. In addition, the hybridoma cells may be grown in vivo as ascites tumors in an animal,
- The monoclonal antibodies secreted by the subclones are suitably separated from the culture medium, ascites fluid, or serum by conventional immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography.
- DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies is readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the monoclonal antibodies). The hybridoma cells serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as E. coli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. Recombinant production of antibodies will be described in more detail below.
- In a further embodiment, antibodies or antibody fragments can be isolated from antibody phage libraries generated using the techniques described in McCafferty, J., et al., Nature 348 (1990) 552-554. Clackson, et al., Nature 352 (1991) 624-628 and Marks, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222 (1991) 581-597 describe the isolation of murine and human antibodies, respectively, asing phage libraries. Subsequent publications describe the production of high affinity (nM range) human antibodies by chain shuffling (Marks, et al., Bio/Technology 10 (1992) 779-783), as well as combinatorial infection and in vivo recombination as a strategy for constructing very large phage libraries (Waterhouse, et al., Noc. Acids. Res. 21 (1993) 2265-2266). Thus, these techniques are viable alternatives to traditional monoclonal antibody hybridoma techniques for isolation of monoclonal antibodies.
- The DNA also may be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy- and light-chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Morrison, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81 (1984) 6851-6855), or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide.
- Typically such non-immunoglobulin polypeptides are substituted for the constant domains of an antibody, or they are substituted for the variable domains of one antigen combining site of an antibody to create a chimeric bivalent antibody comprising one antigen-combining site having specificity for an antigen and another antigen-combining site having specificity for a different antigen.
- Antibody Affinity
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein has a dissociation constant (Kd) of ≤1 μM, ≤100 nM, ≤10 nM, ≤1 nM, ≤0.1 nM, ≤0.01 nM, or ≤0.001 nM (e.g. 10−8 M or less, e.g. from 10−8 M to 10−13 M, e.g., from 10−9 M to 10−13 M).
- In one embodiment, Kd is measured by a radiolabeled antigen or Fc receptor binding assay (RIA) performed with the Fab version of an antibody of interest and its antigen as described by the following assay. Solution binding affinity of Fabs for antigen is measured by equilibrating Fab with a minimal concentration of (125I)-labeled antigen in the presence of a titration series of unlabeled antigen, then capturing bound antigen with an anti-Fab antibody-coated plate (see, e.g., Chen, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293 (1999) 865-881). To establish conditions for the assay. MICROTITER® multi-well plates (Thermo Scientific) are coated overnight with 5 ng/ml of a capturing anti-Fab antibody (Cappel Labs) in 50 mM sodium carbonate (pH 9.6). and subsequently blocked with 2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in PBS for two to five hours at room temperature (approximately 23° C.). In a non-adsorbent plate (Nunc #269620), 100 μM or 26 pm [125I]-antigen are mixed with serial dilutions of a Fab of interest (e.g., consistent with assessment of the anti-VEGF antibody, Fab-12, in Presta, et al., Cancer Res. 57 (1997) 4593-4599). The Fab of interest is then incubated overnight; however, the incubation may continue for a longer period (c.g., about 65 hours) to ensure that equilibrium is reached.
- Thereafter, the mixtures are transferred to the capture plate for incubation at room temperature (e.g., for one hour). The solution is then removed and the plate washed eight times with 0.1% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20®) in PBS. When the plates have dried, 150 μl/well of scintillant (MICROSCINT-20™; Packard) is added, and the plates are counted on a TOPCOUNT™ gamma counter (Packard) for ten minutes. Concentrations of each Fab that give less than or equal to 20% of maximal binding are chosen for use in competitive binding assays.
- According to another embodiment, Kd is measured using surface plasmon resonance assays using a BIACORE®-2000 or a BIACORE 2-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, NJ) at 25° C. with immobilized antigen or Fc receptor CM5 chips at ˜10 response units (RU). Briefly, carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chips (CM5, BIACORE, Inc.) are activated with N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. Antigen is diluted with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8. to 5 μg/ml (˜0.2 μM) before injection at a flow rate of 5 μl/minute to achieve approximately 10 response units (RU) of coupled protein, Following the injection of antigen, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block anreacted groups. For kinetics measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected in PBS with 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-201™) surfactant (PBST) at 25° ° C. at a flow rate of approximately 25 μl/min. Association rates (kon) and dissociation rates (koff) are calculated using a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE Evaluation Software version 3.2) by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensograms. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is calculated as the ratio koff/kon. See, e.g., Chen, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293 (1999) 865-881. If the on-rate exceeds 106 M−1s−1 by the
surface plasmon 25 resonance assay above, then the on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescent quenching technique that measures the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation=295 nm; emission=340 nm, 16 nm band-pass) at 25° C. of a 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS, pH 7.2, in thepresence 30 of increasing concentrations of antigen as measured in a spectrometer, such as a stop-flow equipped spectrophometer (Aviv Instruments) or a 8000-series SLM-AMINCO™ spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) with a stirred cuvette. - In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is an antibody fragment. Antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, Fab′-SH, F(ab′)2, Fv, and scFv fragments, and other fragments described below. For a review of certain antibody fragments, see Hudson, et al., Nat. Med. 9 (2003) 129-134. For a review of scFv fragments, see, e.g., Pluekthün, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., (Springer-Verlag, New York), pp. 269-315 (1994); see also WO 93/16185; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,571,894 and 5,587,458. For discussion of Fab and F(ab′); fragments comprising salvage receptor binding epitope residues and having increased in vivo half-life, see U.S. Patent No. US 5,869,046.
- Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites that may be bivalent or bispecific. See, for example,
EP 0 404 097; WO 1993/01161; Hudson, et al., Nat. Med. 9 (2003) 129-134; and Hollinger, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90 (1993) 6444-6448. Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson, et al., Nat. Med. 9 (2003) 129-134. - Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments comprising all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, a single-domain antibody is a human single-domain antibody (Domantis, Inc., Waltham, MA; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,516 B1).
- Antibody fragments can be made by various techniques, including but not limited to proteolytic digestion of an intact antibody as well as production by recombinant host cells (e.g. E. coli or phage), as described herein.
- Chimeric and Humanized Antibodies
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a chimeric antibody. Certain chimeric antibodies are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81 (1984) 6851-6855). In one example, a chimcric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In a further example, a chimeric antibody is a “class switched” antibody in which the class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody. Chimeric antibodies include antigen-binding fragments thereof.
- In certain embodiments, a chimerie antibody is a humanized antibody. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized to reduce immunogenicity to humans, while retaining the specificity and affinity of the parental non-human antibody. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable domains in which HVRs, e.g., CDRs, (or portions thereof) are derived from a non-human antibody. and FRs (or portions thereof) are derived from human antibody sequences. A. humanized antibody optionally will also comprise at least a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, some FR residues in a humanized antibody are substituted with corresponding residues from a non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the HVR residues are derived), e.g., to restore or improve antibody specificity or affinity.
- Humanized antibodies and methods of making them are reviewed, e.g., in Almagro, and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13 (2008) 1619-1633, and are further described, e.g., in Riechmann, et al., Nature 332 (1988) 323-329; Queen, et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86 (1989) 10029-10033; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,821,337, 7,527,791, 6,982,321, and 7,087,409; Kashmiri, et al., Methods 36 (2005) 25-34 (describing SDR (a-CDR) grafting); Padlan, Mol. Immunol. 28 (1991) 489-498 (describing “resurfacing”); Dall'Acqua, et al., Methods 36 (2005) 43-60 (describing “FR shuffling”); and Osboum, et al., Methods 36 (2005)61-68 and Klimka, et al., Br. J. Cancer, 83 (2000) 252-260 (describing the “guided selection” approach to FR shuffling).
- Human framework regions that may be used for humanization include but are not limited to: framework regions selected using the “best-fit” method (see, e.g., Sims, et al., J. Immunol. 151 (1993) 2296); framework regions derived from the consensus sequence of human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chain variable regions (see, e.g., Carter, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89 (1992) 4285; and Presta, et al., J. Immunol., 151 (1993) 2623); human mature (somatically mutated) framework regions or human germline framework regions (see, e.g., Almagro, and Fransson, Front. Biosci. 13 (2008) 1619-1633); and framework regions derived from screening FR libraries (sce, c.g., Baca, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272 (1997) 10678-10684 and Rosok, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271 (1996) 22611-22618).
- Human Antibodies
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a human antibody. Haman antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. Human antibodies are described generally in van Dijk, and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5 (2001) 368-74 and Lonberg, Carr. Opin. Immunol. 20 (2008) 450-459.
- Human antibodies may be prepared by administering an immunogen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce intact human antibodies or intact antibodies with human variable regions in response to antigenic challenge. Such animals typically contain all or a portion of the human immunoglobulin loci, which replace the endogenous immunoglobulin loch, or which are present extrachromosomally or integrated randomly into the animal's chromosomes. In such transgenic mice, the endogenous immunoglobulin loci have generally been inactivated. For review of methods for obtaining human antibodies from transgenic animals, see Lonberg, Nat. Biotech. 23 (2005) 1117-1125. See also, c.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 describing XENOMOUSE™ technology; U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,429 describing HUMABO technology; U.S. Pat. No. 7,041,870 describing K-M MOUSE® technology, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2007/0061900, describing VELOCIMOUSE® technology). Human variable regions from intact antibodies generated by such animals may be further modified, e.g., by combining with a different human constant region.
- Human antibodies can also be made by hybridoma-based methods. Human myeloma and mouse-human beteromyeloma cell lines for the production of human monoclonal antibodies have been described. (See, e.g., Kozbor, J. Immunol., 133 (1984) 3001; Brodeur, et al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, (1987) pp. 51-63: and Boerner, et al., J. Immunol., 147 (1991) 86.) Human antibodies generated via human B-cell hybridoma technology are also described in Li, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103 (2006) 3557-3562. Additional methods include those described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,826 (describing production of monoclonal human IgM antibodies from hybridoma cell lines) and Ni, Xiandal Mianyixue, 26(4) (2006) 265-268 (describing human-human hybridomas), Human hybridoma technology (Trioma technology) is also described in Vollmers, and Brandlein, Histology and Flistopathology 20(3) (2005) 927-937 and Vollmers, and Brandlein, Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology 27(3) (2005) 185-91.
- Human antibodies may also be generated by isolating Fv clone variable domain sequences selected from human-derived phage display libraries. Such variable domain sequences may then be combined with a desired human constant domain. Techniques for selecting homan antibodies from antibody libraries are described below.
- Library-Derived Antibodies
- Antibodies of the invention may be isolated by screening combinatorial libraries for antibodies with the desired activity or activities. For example, a variety of methods are known in the art for generating phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies possessing the desired binding characteristics. Such methods are reviewed, e.g., in Hoogenboom, H. R., et al., in Methods in Molecular Biology 178 (2002) 1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 2001) and further described, e.g., in the McCafferty, J., et al., Nature 348 (1990) 552-554; Clackson, et al., Nature 352 (1991) 624-628; Marks, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222 (1992) 581-597; Marks, and Bradbury, in Methods in Molecular Biology 248 161-175 (Lo, ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 2003); Sidhu, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2) (2004) 299-310; Lee, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 340(5) (2004) 1073-1093; Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101(34) (2004) 12467-12472; and Lee, et al., J. Immunol. Methods 284(1-2) (2004) 119-132.
- In certain phage display methods, repertoires of VII and VL genes are separately cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombined randomly in phage libraries, which can then be screened for antigen-binding phage as described in Winter, et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol., 12 (1994) 433-455. Phage typically display antibody fragments, either as single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments or as Fab fragments. Libraries from immunized sources provide high-affinity antibodies to the immunogen without the requirement of constructing hybridomas, Alternatively, the naive repertoire can be cloned (e.g., from human) to provide a single source of antibodies to a wide range of non-self and also self antigens without any immunization as described by Griffiths, et al., EMBO J, 12 (1993) 725-734. Finally, naive libraries can also be made synthetically by cloning unrearranged V-gene segments from stem cells. and using PCR primers containing random sequence to encode the highly variable CDR3 regions and to accomplish rearrangement in vitro, as described by Hoogenboom, and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227 (1992) 381-388. Patent publications describing human antibody phage libraries inchide, for example: U.S. Pat. No. 5,750.373, and US Patent Publication Nos. 2005/0079574, 2005/0119455, 2005/0266000, 2007/0117126, 2007/0160598, 2007/0237764, 2007/0292936, and 2009/0002360.
- Antibodies or antibody fragments isolated from human antibody libraries are considered human antibodies or human antibody fragments herein.
- Multispecific Antibodies
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a multispecific antibody, e.g. a bispecific antibody. Multispecific antibodies are monoclonal antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different sites. In certain embodiments, one of the binding specificities is for a specific antigen and the other is for any other antigen. In certain embodiments, bispecific andbodies may bind to two different epitopes of the antigen. Bispecific antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells which express the antigen to which the antibody binds. Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length antibodies or antibody fragments.
- Techniques for making multispecific antibodies include, but are not limited to, recombinant co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pairs having different specificities (see Milstein, and Cuello, Nature 305 (1983) 537, WO 93/08829, and Traunecker, et al., EMBO J. 10 (1991) 3655), and “knob-in-hole” engineering (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,168). Multi-specific antibodies may also be made by engineering electrostatic steering effects for making antibody Fc-heterodimerie molecules (WO 2009/089004 A1); cross-linking two or more antibodies or fragments (see, e.g ., U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980, and Brennan, et al., Science, 229 (1985) 81); using leucine zippers to produce hi-specific antibodies (see, e.g., Kostelny, et al., J. Immunol., 148(5) (1992) 1547-1553); using “diabody” technology for making bispecific antibody fragments (see, e.g., Hollinger, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90 (1993) 6444-6448); and using single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers (see, e.g. Gruber, et al., J. Immunol., 152 (1994) 5368); and preparing trispecific antibodies as described, e.g., in Tutt, et al., J. Immanol. 147 (1991) 60.
- Engineered antibodies with three or more functional antigen binding sites, including “Octopus antibodies,” are also included herein (see, e.g. US 2006/0025576 A1).
- The antibody or fragment herein also includes a “Doal Acting FAb” or “DAR” comprising an antigen binding site that binds to a specific antigen as well as another, different antigen (see, US 2008/0069820, for example).
- Antibody Variants with Altered Binding Affinity to the Antigen
- In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to improve the binding affinity to the antigen and/or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of an antibody may be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequences of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g., antigen-binding.
- Substitution, Insertion, and Deletion Variants
- In certain embodiments, polypeptides comprising Fc variants additionally have one or more amino acid substitutions at other parts than the Fc part, are provided. Sites of interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the HVRs and FRs. Conservative substitutions are shown in Table 1 under the heading of “conservative substitutions.”More substantial changes are provided in Table 1 under the heading of “exemplary substitutions,” and as further described below in reference to amino acid side chain classes. Amino acid substitutions may be introduced into an antibody of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, e.g., retained/improved antigen binding, or decreased immunogenicity.

- (2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gin;
- (3) acidic: Asp, Glu;
- (4) basic: His, Lys, Arg;
- (5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro;
- (6) aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe.
- Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class.
- One type of substitutional variant involves substituting one or more hypervariable region residues of a parent antibody (e.g. a humanized or human antibody). Generally, the resulting variant(s) selected for further study will have modifications (e.g., improvements) in certain biological properties (e.g., increased affinity, reduced immunogenicity) relative to the parent antibody and/or will have substantially retained certain biological properties of the parent antibody. An exemplary substitutional variant is an affinity matured antibody, which may be conveniently generated, e.g., using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques such as those described herein. Briefly, one or more HVR residues are mutated and the variant antibodies displayed on phage and screened for a particular biological activity (e.g. binding affinity).
- Alterations (e.g., substitutions) may be made in HVRs, e.g., to improve antibody affinity. Such alterations may be made in HVR “hotspots,” i.e., residues encoded by codons that undergo mutation at high frequency during the somatic maturation process (see, e.g., Chowdhury, Methods Mol. Biol. 207 (2008) 179-196), and/or SDRs (a-CDRs), with the resulting variant VH or VL being tested for binding affinity. Affinity maturation by constructing and reselecting from secondary libraries has been described, e.g., in Hoogenboom, et al., in Methods in Molecular Biology 178 (2002) 1-37 (O'Brien et al., ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, (2001)). In. some embodiments of affinity maturation, diversity is introduced into the variable genes chosen for matoration by any of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). A secondary library is then created. The library is then screened to identify any antibody variants with the desired affinity. Another method to introduce diversity involves HVR-directed. approaches, in which several HVR residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. HVR residues involved in antigen binding may be specifically identified, e.g., using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling. CDR-H3 and CDR-L3 in particular are often targeted.
- In certain embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may occur within one or more HVRs so long as such alterations do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind antigen. For example, conservative alterations (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity may be made in HVRs. Such alterations may be outside of HVR “hotspots” or SDRs. In certain embodiments of the variant VH and VL sequences provided above, cach HVR either is unaltered, or contains no more than one, two or three amino acid substitutions.
- A useful method for identification of residues or regions of an antibody that may be targeted for mutagenesis is called “alanine scanning mutagenesis” as described by Cunningham, and Wells, Science 244 (1989) 1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as arg. asp, his, lys, and glu) are identified and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (e.g., alanine or polyalanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further substitutions may be introduced at the amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Alternatively, or additionally, a crystal structure of an antigen-antibody complex to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and neighboring residues may be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants may be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties.
- Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and/or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing a hundred or more residues, as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Examples of terminal insertions include an antibody with an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertional variants of the antibody molecule inchide the fusion to the N. or C-terminus of the antibody to an enzyme (e.g. for ADEPT) or a polypeptide which increases the serum half-life of the antibody.
- Glycosylation Variants
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein is altered to increase or decrease the extent to which the antibody is glycosylated. Addition or deletion of glycosylation sites to an antibody may be conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence such that one or more glycosylation sites is created or removed.
- Where the antibody comprises an Fc region, the carbohydrate attached thereto may be altered. Native antibodies produced by mammalian cells typically comprise a branched, hiantennary oligosaccharide that is generally attached by an N-linkage to Asn297 of the CH2 domain of the Fc region. See, e.g., Wright, et al., TIBTECH 15 (1997) 26-32. The oligosaccharide may include various carbohydrates, e.g., mannose, N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), galactose, and sialic acid, as well as a fucose attached to a GlcNAc in the “stem” of the biantennary oligosaccharide structure. In some embodiments, modifications of the oligosaccharide in an antibody of the invention may be made in order to create antibody variants with certain improved properties.
- Polypeptides comprising Fc variants are further provided with sialylated oligosaccharides, e.g., in which a differential sialylation of the Fc core oligosaccharide attached to the Fc region of the antibody is provided. Such polypeptides may have increased sialylation and/or decreased ADCC function. Examples of such antibody variants are described e.g. by Kaneko, et al., Science 313 (2006) 670-673.
- Cysteine Engineered Antibody Variants
- In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to create cysteine engineered antibodies, e.g., “thioMAbs,” in which one or more residues of an antibody are substituted with cysteine residues. In particular embodiments, the substituted residues occur at accessible sites of the antibody. By substituting those residues with cysteine, reactive thiol groups are thereby positioned at accessible sites of the antibody and may be used to conjugate the antibody to other moieties, such as drug moieties or linker-drug moieties, to create an immunoconjugate, as described further herein. In certain embodiments, any one or more of the following residues may be substituted with cysteine: V205 (Kabat numbering) of the light chain; A118 (EU numbering) of the heavy chain; and S400 (EU numbering) of the heavy chain Fc region. Cysteine engineered antibodies may be generated as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 7,521,541.
- Antibody Derivatives
- In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein may be further modified to contain additional nonproteinaceous moieties that are known in the art and readily available, The moieties suitable for derivatization of the antibody include but are not limited to water soluble polymers. Non-limiting examples of water soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG), copolymers of ethylene glycol/propylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly-1,3-dioxolane, poly-1,3,6-trioxane, ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer, polyaminoacids (either homopolymers or random copolymers), and dextran or poly(n-vinyl pyrrolidone)polyethylene glycol, propropylene glycol homopolymers, prolypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol), polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde may have advantages in manufacturing due to its stability in water. The polymer may be of any molecular weight, and may be branched or unbranched. The number of polymers attached to the antibody may vary, and if more than one polymer are attached, they can be the same or different molecules. In general, the number and/or type of polymers used for derivatization can be determined based on considerations including, but not limited to, the particular properties or functions of the antibody to be improved, whether the antibody derivative will be used in a therapy under defined conditions, etc.
- In another embodiment, conjugates of an antibody and nonproteinaceous moiety that may be selectively heated by exposure to radiation are provided. In one embodiment, the nonproteinaceous moiety is a carbon nanotube (Kam, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 102 (2005) 11600-11605). The radiation may be of any wavelength, and includes, but is not limited to, wavelengths that do not harm ordinary cells, but which heat the nonproteinaceous moicty to a temperature at which cells proximal to the antibody-nonproteinaceous moiety are killed.
- Recombinant Methods and Compositions
- Antibodies may be produced using recombinant methods and compositions, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567. In one embodiment, isolated nucleic acid encoding an antibody variant described herein is provided. Such nucleic acid may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the VL and/or an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody (e.g., the light and/or heavy chains of the antibody). In a further embodiment, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such nucleic acid are provided. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising such nucleic acid is provided. In one such embodiment, a host cell comprises (e.g., has been transformed with): (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL. of the antibody and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody. In one embodiment, the host cell is eukaryotic, e.g. a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell or lymphoid cell (e.g., Y0, NS0, Sp20 cell). In one embodiment, a method of making an antibody variant is provided, wherein the method comprises culturing a host cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding the antibody, as provided above, under conditions suitable for expression of the antibody, and optionally recovering the antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium).
- For recombinant production of an antibody variant, nucleic acid encoding an antibody, e.g., as described above, is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and/or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acid may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody).
- Suitable host cells for cloning or expression of antibody-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells described herein. For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Pe effector function are not needed. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (See also Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology 248 (2003) 245-254 (B.K.C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ), describing expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antibody may be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction and can be further purified.
- In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for antibody-encoding vectors, including fungi and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been “humanized,” resulting in the production of an antibody with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat. Biotech. 22 (2004) 1409-1414, and Li, et al., Nat. Biotech. 24 (2006) 210-215.
- Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated antibody are also derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates). Examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells. Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells.
- Plant cell cultures can also be utilized as hosts. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (describing PLANTIBODIES™M technology for producing antibodies in transgenic plants).
- Vertebrate cells may also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that are adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); human embryonic kidney line (293 or kidney cells (BHK); mouse sertoli cells (TM4 cells as described, e.g., in Mather, Biol, Reprod. 23 (1980) 243-251); monkey kidney cells (CVI); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI cells, as described, e.g., in Mather, et al., Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci. 383 (1982) 44-68;
MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR′ CHO cells (Urlaub, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77 (1980) 4216); and myeloma cell lines such as Y0, NS0 and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, e.g., Yazaki, and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology 248 (2003) 255-268 (B.K.C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ). - Assays

- Binding Assays and Other Assays
- In one aspect, an antibody of the invention is tested for its antigen binding activity. e.g., by known methods such as ELISA, Western blot, etc.
- In an exemplary competition assay, immobilized antigen is incubated in a solution comprising a first labeled antibody that binds to the antigen (e.g.,) and a second unlabeled antibody that is being tested for its ability to compete with the first antibody for binding to the antigen. The second antibody may be present in a hybridoma supernatant. As a control, immobilized antigen is incubated in a solution comprising the first labeled antibody but not the second unlabeled antibody. After incubation under conditions permissive for binding of the first antibody to the antigen, excess onbound antibody is removed, and the amount of label associated with immobilized antigen is measured. If the amount of label associated with immobilized antigen is substantially reduced in the test sample relative to the control sample, then that indicates that the second antibody is competing with the first antibody for binding to the antigen (See Harlow, and Lane (1988) Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual ch. 14 (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY).

Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are generally nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include, but are not limited to: buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride; benzethoniom chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-eresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immanoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trebalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g. Za-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). Exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable carriers herein further include interstitial drug dispersion agents such as soluble neutral-active hyaluronidase glycoproteins (sHASEGP), for example, human soluble PH-20 hyaluronidase glycoproteins, such as fHuPH20 (HYLENEX®, Baxter International. Inc.). Certain exemplary sHASEGPs and methods of use, including rHaPH20, are described in US Patent Publication Nos. 2005/0260186 and 2006/0104968. In one aspect. a SHASEGP is combined with or one more additional glycosaminoglycanases such as chondroitinases.
- Exemplary lyophilized antibody formulations are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,958. Aqueous antibody formulations include those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,171,586 and WO 2006/044908, the latter formulations including a histidine-acetate buffer.
- The formulation herein may also contain more than one active ingredients as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. Such active ingredients are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended.
- Active ingredients may be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions.

- Therapeutic Methods and Compositions
- Any of the polypeptides provided herein may be used in therapeutic methods.
- In a specific aspect of the invention the polypeptide according to the invention are used for treating a disease. In a more specific aspect, the disease is such, that it is favorable that the effector function of the variant is strongly, at least by 50%. reduced compared to the polypeptide comprising the wildtype Fc polypeptide.
- In a specific aspect the polypeptide according to the invention is used in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease, wherein it is favorable that the effector function of the polypeptide is strongly reduced compared to a wildtype Fc polypeptide. In a further specific aspect the polypeptide according to the invention is used in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease, wherein it is favorable that the effector function of the polypeptide is reduced compared to a wildtype Fc polypeptide, by at least 20%.
- A further aspect is a method of treating an individual having a disease, wherein it is favorable that the effector function of the variant is strongly reduced compared to a wildtype Fc polypeptide, comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of the polypeptide according to the invention.
- A strong reduction of effector fonction is a reduction of effector function by at least 50% of the effector function induced by the wildtype polypeptide.
- Such diseases are for example all diseases where the targeted cell should not be destroyed by for example ADCC, ADCP or CDC. Moreover, this is true for those antibodies that are designed to deliver a drug (c.g., toxins and isotopes) to the target cell where the Fc/FcγR mediated effector functions bring healthy immune cells into the proximity of the deadly payload, resulting in depletion of normal lymphoid tissue along with the target cells (Hutchins, et al, PNAS USA 92 (1995) 11980-11984; White, et al, Annu Rev Med 52 (2001) 125-145). In these cases the use of antibodies that poorly recruit complement or effector cells would be of tremendous benefit (scc for example, Wa, et al., Cell Immunol 200 (2000) 16-26; Shields, et al., J. Biol Chen 276(9) (2001) 6591-6604; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,194,551; 5,885,573 and PCT publication WO 04/029207).
- In other instances, for example, where blocking the interaction of a widely expressed receptor with its cognate ligand is the objective, it would be advantageous to decrease or eliminate all antibody effector function to reduce unwanted toxicity. Also, in the instance where a therapeutic antibody exhibited promiscuous binding across a number of human tissues it would be prudent to limit the targeting of effector function to a diverse set of tissues to limit toxicity.
- Also for agonist antibodies it would be very helpful if these antibodies exhibit reduced effector function.
- The conditions which can be treated with the polypeptide variant are many and include cancer (e.g. where the antibody variant binds the HER2 receptor, angiopoietin receptor or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)); allergic conditions such as asthma (with an and-IgE antibody); and LFA-1-mediated disorders (e.g. where the polypeptide variant is an anti-LFA-1 or anti-ICAM-1 antibody), neurological and metabolic disorders.
- Where the antibody binds the HER2 receptor, the disorder preferably is HER2-expressing cancer, e.g. a benign or malignant tumor characterized by overexpression of the HER2 receptor. Such cancers include, but are not limited to, breast cancer, squamous cell cancer, small-cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma and various types of head and neck cancer.
- The polypeptide or antibody variant is administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local immunosuppressive treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial. intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In addition, the antibody variant is suitably administered by pulse infusion, particularly with declining doses of the polypeptide variant. Preferably the dosing is given by injections, most preferably intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic.
- For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of polypeptide or antibody variant will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the severity and course of the disease, whether the polypeptide variant is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the polypeptide variant, and the discretion of the attending physician, The polypeptide variant is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments.
- Depending on the type and severity of the disease, about 1 μg/kg to 15 mg/kg (e.g., 0.1-20 mg/kg) of polypeptide or antibody variant is an initial candidate dosage for administration to the patient, whether, for example, by one or more separate administrations, or by continuous infusion. A typical daily dosage might range from about 1 μg/kg to 100 mg/kg or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment is sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. However, other dosage regimens may be useful. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays.
- In certain embodiments, the invention provides an antibody variant or polypeptide for use in a method of treating an individual having cancer comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of the antibody variant. In one such embodiment, the method farther comprises administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, e.g., as described below.

In another embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation comprises any of the antibody variants provided herein and at least one additional therapeutic agent, e.g., as described below.
- Antibodies of the invention con be used either alone or in combination with other agents in a therapy. For instance, an antibody of the invention may be co-administered with at least one additional therapeutic agent.
- Such combination therapies noted above encompass combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the antibody of the invention can occur prior to, simultaneously, and/or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent and/or adjuvant. Antibodies of the invention can also be used in combination with radiation therapy.
- An antibody of the invention (and any additional therapeutic agent) can be administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration, Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. Dosing can be by any suitable route, e.g. by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein.
- Antibodies of the invention would be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The antibody need not be, but is optionally formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as described herein, or about from 1 to 99% of the dosages described herein, or in any dosage and by any route that is empirically/clinically determined to be appropriate.
- For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of an antibody of the invention (when used alone or in combination with one or more other additional therapeutic agents) will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the type of antibody, the severity and course of the disease, whether the antibody is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments. Depending on the type and severity of the disease, about 1 μg/kg to 15 mg/kg (e.g. 0.1 mg/kg-10mg/kg) of antibody can be an initial candidate dosage for administration to the patient, whether, for example, by one or more separate administrations, or by continuous infusion. One typical daily dosage might range from about 1 μg/kg to 100 mg/kg or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment would generally be sustained ontil a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. One exemplary dosage of the antibody would be in the range from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg. Thus, one or more doses of about 0.5 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 4.0 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg (or any combination thereof) may be administered to the patient. Such doses may be administered intermittently, e.g. every week or every three weeks (e.g. such that the patient receives from about two to about twenty, or e.g. about six doses of the antibody).

At least one active agent in the composition is an antibody of the invention, The label or package insert indicates that the composition is used for treating the condition of choice. Moreover, the article of manufacture may comprise (a) a first container with a composition contained therein, wherein the composition comprises an antibody of the invention; and (b) a second container with a composition contained therein, wherein the composition comprises a further cytotoxic or otherwise therapeutic agent.

It may further include other materials desirable from a commercial and user standpoint, including other buffers, diluents, filters, needles, and syringes.
- It is understood that any of the above articles of manufacture may include an immunoconjugate of the invention in place of or in addition to an antibody variant.
- Non-Therapeutic Uses for the Polypeptide
- The antibody variant of the invention may be used as an affinity purification agent. In this process, the antibody variant is immobilized on a solid phase such a Sephadex resin or filter paper, using methods well known in the art. The immobilized polypeptide variant is contacted with a sample containing the antigen to be purified, and thereafter the support is washed with a suitable solvent that will remove substantially all the material in the sample except the antigen to be purified, which is bound to the immobilized antibody variant. Finally, the support is washed with another suitable solvent, such as glycine buffer, pH 5.0, that will release the antigen from the polypeptide variant.
- The antibody variant may also be useful in diagnostic assays, e.g., for detecting expression of an antigen of interest in specific cells, tissues, or serom.
- For diagnostic applications, the antibody variant typically will be labeled with a detectable moiety. Numerous labels are available which can be generally grouped into the following categories:
-
- (a) Radioisotopes, such as 35s, 14C, 125I, 3H, and 131I. The polypeptide variant can be labeled with the radioisotope using the techniques described in Coligen, et al., Current Protocols in Immunology,
Volumes - (b) Fluorescent labels such as rare earth chelates (europium chelates) or fluorescein and its derivatives, rhodamine and its derivatives, dansyl, Lissamine, phycoerythrin and Texas Red are available. The fluorescent labels can be conjugated to the polypeptide variant using the techniques disclosed in Current Protocols in Immunology, supra, for example. Fluorescence can be quantified using a fluorimeter.
- (c) Various enzyme-substrate labels are available and U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,149 provides a review of some of these. The enzyme generally catalyzes a chemical alteration of the chromogenic substrate that can be measured asing various techniques. For example, the enzyme may catalyze a color change in a substrate, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. Alternatively, the enzyme may alter the fluorescence or chemiluminescence of the substrate, Techniques for quantifying a change in fluorescence are described above. The chemiluminescent substrate becomes electronically excited by a chemical reaction and may then emit light which can be measured (using a chemiluminometer, for example) or donates energy to a fluorescent acceptor. Examples of enzymatic labels include luciferases (c.g., firefly luciferase and bacterial luciferase; U.S. Pat. No. 4,737,456), luciferin, 2,3-dihydrophthalazinediones, malate dehydrogenase, urease, peroxidase such as horseradish peroxidase (HRPO), alkaline phosphatase, @-galactosidase, glucoamylase, lysozyme, saccharide oxidases (e.g., glucose oxidase, galactose oxidase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), heterocyclic oxidases (such as uricase and xanthine oxidase), lactoperoxidase, microperoxidase, and the like. Techniques for conjugating enzymes to antibodies are described in O'Sullivan, et al., Methods for the Preparation of Enzyme-Antibody Conjugates for use in Enzyme Immunoassay, in Methods in Enzym. (ed J. Langone & H. Van Vunakis), Academic press, New York, 73:147-166 (1981).
- (a) Radioisotopes, such as 35s, 14C, 125I, 3H, and 131I. The polypeptide variant can be labeled with the radioisotope using the techniques described in Coligen, et al., Current Protocols in Immunology,
- Examples of enzyme-substrate combinations include, for example:
-
- (i) Horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) with hydrogen peroxidase as a substrate, wherein the hydrogen peroxidase oxidizes a dye precursor (e.g., orthophenylene diamine (OPD) or 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl benzidine hydrochloride (TMB));
- (ii) alkaline phosphatase (AP) with para-Nitrophenyl phosphate as chromogenic substrate; and
- (iii) @-D-galactosidase (B-D-Gal) with a chromogenic substrate (e.g., p-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactosidase) or fluorogenic substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D. galactosidase.
- Numerous other enzyme-substrate combinations are available to those skilled in the art. For a general review of these, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,275,149 and 4,318,980.
- Sometimes, the label is indirectly conjugated with the polypeptide variant. The skilled artisan will be aware of various techniques for achieving this. For example, the polypeptide variant can be conjugated with biotin and any of the three broad categories of labels mentioned above can be conjugated with avidin, or vice versa.
- Biotin binds selectively to avidin and thus, the label can be conjugated with the polypeptide variant in this indirect manner. Alternatively, to achieve indirect conjugation of the label with the polypeptide variant. the polypeptide variant is conjugated with a small hapten (e.g., digoxin) and one of the different types of labels mentioned above is conjugated with an anti-hapten polypeptide variant (e.g., anti-digoxin antibody). Thus, indirect conjugation of the label with the polypeptide variant can be achieved.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the antibody variant need not be labeled, and the presence thereof can be detected using a labeled antibody which binds to the polypeptide variant.
- The antibody variant of the present invention may be employed in any known assay method, such as competitive binding assays, direct and indirect sandwich assays, and immunoprecipitation assays. Zola, Monoclonal Antibodies: A Manual of Techniques, (1987) pp. 147-158, CRC Press, Inc.
- The antibody variant may also be used for in vivo diagnostic assays. Generally, the polypeptide variant is labeled with a radionuclide (such as 111In, 99Tc, 14C, 131I, 125I, 3H, 32P or 35S) so that the antigen or cells expressing it can be localized using immunoscintiography. Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, the descriptions and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

- Antibodies
- For the experiments described below antibodies against CD9 (see SEQ IDs 8-14), P-selectin (sequences described in WO 2005/100402) and CD20 (synonym: GA101, sequences described in
EP 1 692 182) were used. - All variants described herein, e.g. P329G, P329A, P329R SPLE, LALA, P329G/LALA, P329G/SPLE variants of the selectin, CD9, CD20 (GA101) and CD20 (GA101)-glycoengineered binding antibody (numbering according to EU nomenclature) were generated using PCR based mutagenesis. IgG molecules were expressed in the HEK-EBNA or HEK293 (CD9 Fc variants) system, and purified using protein A and size exclusion chromatography.
- Determination of the Binding Affinities of Different FcγReceptors to Immunoglobulins
- Binding affinities of different FcγRs towards immunoglobulins were measured by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) using a Biacore T100 instrument (GE Healthcare) at 25° C.
- The BIAcore® system is well established for the study of molecule interactions. It allows a continuous real-time monitoring of ligand/analyte bindings and thus the determination of association rate constants (ka), dissociation rate constants (kd), and equilibrium constants (KD). Changes in the refractive index indicate mass changes on the surface caused by the interaction of immobilized ligand with analyte injected in solution. If molecules bind immobilized ligands on the surface the mass increases, in case of dissociation the mass decreases.
- For a 1:1 interaction no difference in the results should be seen if a binding molecule is either injected over the surface or immobilized onto a surface. Therefore different settings were used (with Fcγ receptor as ligand or analyte respectively), depending on solubility and availability of ligand or corresponding analyte.

For all experiments HBS-P+ buffer supplied by GE Healthcare was chosen (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% (v/v) Surfactant P20). Bulk refractive index differences were corrected for by subtracting the response obtained from a surface without captured FcγRI. Blank injections are also subtracted (=double referencing). - The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), defined as ka/kD, was determined by analyzing the sensogram curves obtained with several different concentrations, using BIAevaluation software package.

- Affinity to the FcγRI Receptor
- P329G, P329A, SPLE and LALA mutations have been introduced into the Fo polypeptide of a P-selectin, CD20 and CD9 antibody, and the binding affinity to FcγRI was measured with the Biacore system. Whereas the antibody with the P329G mutation still binds to FcγR1 (
FIG. 1 a and 1b), introduction of triple mutations P329G/LALA and P329G/SPLE, respectively, resulted in antibodies for which nearly no binding could be detected (FIG. 1 b ). The LALA or SPLE mutations decreased binding to the receptor more than P329G alone but less than in combination with P329G (FIG. 1 a and 1 b ). Thus, the combination of P329G with either LALA or SPLE mutations is much more effective than the P329G mutation or the double mutations LALA or SPLE alone. The kd value for the CD20 IgG1 wildtype antibody was 4.6 nM and for the P329G mutant of the same antibody 5.7 nM, but for the triple mutant P329G/LALA no kd value could be determined due to the nearly undetectable binding of the antibody to the FcγRI receptor. The antibody itself, i.e. whether a CD9 or CD20 or P-selectin was tested, has a minor effect on the binding affinities. - Affinity to the FcγRIIA Receptor
- P329G, SPLE and LALA mutations, respectively, have been introduced into the Fe polypeptide of the CD9 antibody and the binding affinity to the FcγRIIA-R131 receptor was measured with the Biacore system. Binding level is normalized such as captured mAb represents 100 RU. So not more than approximately 20 RU is expected for a 1:1 stoichiometry.
FIG. 1 e shows that the binding to the FcγRIIA receptor is strongly reduced by introducing the LALA, SPLE/P329G, P329G and LALA/329G mutation into the Fc variant. In contrast to binding to the FcγR1 receptor, the introduction of the P329G mutation alone is able to very strongly block the binding to said receptor, more or less to a similar extent as the triple mutation P329G/LALA (FIG. 1 c ). - Affinity to the FcγRIIB Receptor
- SPLE, LALA, SPLE/P329G and LALA/P329G mutations, respectively, bave been introduced into the Fc polypeptide of the CD9 and P-selectin antibody and the binding affinity to FcγRIIB receptor was measured with the Biacore system.
FIG. 1 d shows that the binding to the FcγRIIB receptor is strongly reduced in the LALA and triple mutants P329G/LALA, P329G/SPLB - Affinity to the FcγRIIIA Receptor
- P329G,LALA, SPLE, P329G/LALA, and SPLE/P3290 mutations have been. introduced into the Fc polypeptide of the CD9 and the binding affinity to FcγRIIIA-V158 receptor was measured with the Biacore system. The P329G mutation and the triple mutation P329G/LALA reduced binding to the FcγRIIIA receptor most strongly, to nearly undetectable levels. The P329G/SPLE also lead to a strongly reduced binding affinity, the mutations SPLE and LALA, respectively, only slightly decreased the binding affinity to the FcγRIIIA receptor (
FIG. 1 e ). - C1Q ELISA
- The binding properties of the different polypeptides comprising Fc variants to C1q were analyzed by an ELISA sandwich type immunoassay. Each variant is coupled to a hydrophobic Maxisorp 96 well plate at 8 concentrations between 10 μg/ml and 0 μg/ml. This coupling simulates complexes of antibodies, which is a prerequisite for high affinity binding of the C1q molecule. After washing, the samples are incubated to allow C1q binding. After further washing the bound C1q molecule is detected by a polyclonal rabbit anti-hC1q antibody. Following the next washing step, an enzyme labelled anti-rabbit-Fcγspecific antibody is added, Immunological reaction is made visible by addition of a substrate that is converted to a coloured product by the enzyme. The resulting absorbance, measured photometrically, is proportional to the amount of C1g bound to the antibody to be investigated. EC50 values of the variant- C1q interaction were calculated. The absorption units resulting from the coloring reaction are plotted against the concentration of the antibody. The antibody concentration at the half maximum response determines the ECso value. This read-out is reported as relative difference to the reference standard measured on the same plate together with the coefficient of variation of sample and reference.
- The P329G mutation introduced into the P-selectin or CD20 antibody strongly reduced binding to C1q, similar to the SPIB mutation (
FIG. 2 ). Table 3 summarizes the calculatedEC 50 values for binding of the variants to the C1q receptor. C1q belongs to the complement activation proteins and plays a major role in the activation of the classical pathway of the complement, which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex. C1q is also involved in other immunological processes such as enhancement of phagocytosis, clearance of apoptotic cells or neutralization of virus. Thus, it can be expected that the mutants shown here to reduce binding to C1q, e.g. P329G and SPLE, as well as very likely also the triple mutations comprising the aforementioned single mutations, strongly reduces the above mentioned functions of C1q. -

- The antibodies to be tested (CD20 (GA101) and CD9) were coated in PBS over night at 4° C. in suitable 96-flat bottom well plates. After washing the plate with PBS, the remaining binding sites were blocked with PBS/1% BSA solution for 1 h at RT. In the meantime, the effector cells (NK-92 cell line transfected to express low or high affine human FcγRIII) were harvested and 200 000 living cells/well were seeded in 100 μl/well AIM V medium into the wells after discarding the blocking buffer. 100 μl/well saponin buffer (0.5% saponin+1% BSA in PBS) was used to determine the maximal esterase release by the effector cells. The cells were incubated for 3 h at 37° ° C., 5% CO2 in a incubator. After 3 h, 20 pl/well of the supernatants were mixed with 180 μl/well BLT substrate (0.2 mM BLT+0.11 mM DTNB in 0.1 M Tris-HCL, pH 8.0) and incubated for 30 min at 37° C. before reading the plate at 405 nm in a microplate reader. The percentage of esterase release was determined setting the maximal release (saponin treated cells) to 100% and the unstimulated cells (no ab coated) to 0% release.
- The wildtype CD20 antibody (GA101 wt (1)) shows strong induction of cytolytic activity. The LALA variant shows a marked reduction in esterase release, whereas the P3290 and the P329G/LALA variant do not show any ADCC activity (
FIG. 3 a ).FIG. 3 b shows that not only an exchange of G at position P329 leads to markedly reduced cytosolic activity but also an exchange of P329 to R329 (CD20 antibody). Thus arginine appears to destroy the function of the proline sandwich in the antibody, similar to glycine. The strongly reduced ADCC observed here for the P329G mutant most likely resulted from the strongly reduced binding to the FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIA receptor (seeFIG. 1 e andFIG. 1 e ). - ADCC with Target Cells
- S Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used as effector cells and were prepared using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma Diagnostics Inc., St. Louis, MO63178 USA) and following essentially the manufacturer's instructions. In brief, venous blood was taken with heparinized syringes from volunteers. The blood was diluted 1:0.75-1.3 with PBS (not containing Ca++ or Mg++) and layered on Histopaque-1077. The gradient was centrifuged at 400×g for 30 min at room temperature (RT) without breaks. The interphase containing the PBMC was collected and washed with PBS (50 ml per cells from two gradients) and harvested by centrifugation at 300×g for 10 minutes at RT. After resuspension of the pellet with PBS, the PBMC were counted and washed a second time by centrifugation at 200×g for 10 minutes at RT. The cells were then resuspended in the appropriate medium for the subsequent procedures. The effector to target ratio used for the ADCC assays was 25:1 and 10:1 for PBMC and NK cells, respectively. The effector cells were prepared in AIM-V medium at the appropriate concentration in order to add 50 ml per well of round bottom 96 well plates. Target cells were 20 human B lymphoma cells (e.g., Raji cells) grown in DMEM containing10% FCS. Target cells were washed in PBS, counted and resuspended in AIM-V at 0.3 million per ml in order to add 30'000 cells in 100 ml per microwell. Antibodies were diluted in AIM-V, added in 50 ml to the pre-plated target cells and allowed to bind to the targets for 10 minutes at RT. Then the effector cells were added and the plate was incubated for 4 hours at 37″° C. in a humified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Killing of target cells was assessed by measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from damaged cells using the Cytotoxicity Detection kit (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland). After the 4-hour incubation the plates were centrifuged at 800×g. 100 ml supernatant from each well was transferred to a new transparent flat bottom 96 well plate. 100 ml color substrate buffer from the kit were added per well. The Vmax values of the color reaction were determined in an ELISA reader at 490 nm for at least 10 min using SOFTmax PRO software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA94089, USA), Spontaneous LDH release was measured from wells containing only target and effector cells but no antibodies. Maximal release was determined from wells containing only target cells and 1% Triton X-100. Percentage of specific antibody-mediated killing was calculated as follows: ((x−SR)/(MR−SR)*100, where x is the mean of Vmax at a specific antibody concentration, SR is the mean of Vmax of the spontaneous release and MR is the mean of Vmax of the maximal release.
- The potency to recruit immune-effector cells depends on type of Fc variant as measured by classical ADCC assay. Here, buman NK92 cell-line transfected with human FegRIIIA was used as effector and CD20 positive Raji cells were used as target cells. As can be seen in
FIG. 4 a the ADCC is strongly reduced in GA101 (CD20) Fc variants wherein glycine replaces proline (P329G) and also, to a similar extent, in the double mutant P329G/LALA. In contrast the ADCC decrease was less strong with the LALA mutation. In order to better distinguish between the different variants, the variants were also produced in the glycoengineered version to enhance the ADCC potential. It can be observed that the parental molecule (GA101 (CD20)) shows strong ADCC as expected. The LALA version is strongly impaired in its ADCC potential, The P3290 mutant very strongly decreased the ADCC; much more than a P329A variant of the GA101 (CD20) antibody (FIG. 4 b ). - Complement Activity
- Target cells were counted, washed with PBS, resuspended in AIM-V (Invitrogen) at I million cells per ml. 50 ml cells were plated per well in a flat bottom. 96 well plate. Antibody dilutions were prepared in AIM-V and added in 50 ml to the cells. Antibodies were allowed to bind to the cells for 10 minutes at room temperature. Human serum complement (Quidel) was freshly thawed, diluted 3-fold with AIM-V and added in 50 ml to the wells. Rabbit complement (Cedarlane Laboratories) was prepared as described by the manufacturer, diluted 3-fold with AIM-V and added in 50 ml to the wells. As a control, complement sources were heated for 30 min at 56° C. before addition to the assay. The assay plates were incubated for 2h at 37° C. Killing of cells was determined by measuring LDH release. Briefly, the plates were centrifuged at 300×g for 3 min. 50 ml supernatant per well were transferred to a new 96 well plate and 50 ml of the assay reagent from the Cytotoxicity Kit (Roche) were added. A kinetic measurement with the ELISA reader determined the Vmax corresponding with LDH concentration in the supernatant. Maximal release was determined by incubating the cells in presence of 1% Triton X-100.
- The different Fc variants were analyzed to mediate CDC on SUDH-14 target cells. The non-glycoengineered GA101 molecule shows clear induction of CDC. The LALA variant shows activity only at the highest concentration, whereas and the P3290 and P329G/LALA variants do not show any CDC activity (
FIG. 5 a ). Moreover, the LALA variant as well as the P329G and P329A variants of a glycoengineered GA101 molecule do not show any CDC activity (FIG. 5 b ). - Carbohydrate Profile of Human IgG1
- The carbohydrate profiles of human IgGI antibodies containing mutations within the Fe, aimed at abrogating the binding to Fcγreceptors, were analyzed by MALDI/TOF-MS in positive ion mode (neutral oligosaccharides).
- Human (h) IgG1 variants were treated with sialidase (QA-Bio) following the manufacturer's instructions to remove terminal sialic acid. The neutral oligosaccharides of hIgG1 were subsequently released by PNGase F (QA-Bio) digestion as previously described (Ferrara, C. et al., Biotech. Bioeng. 93 (2006) 851-861). The carbohydrate profiles were analyzed by mass spectrometry (Autoflex, Bruker Daltonics GmbH) in positive ion mode as previously described (Ferrara, C. et al., Biotech, Bioeng. 93 (2006) 851-861).
- The carbohydrate profile of the neutral Fe-associated glycans of human IgGI is characterized by three major m/z peaks, which can be assigned to fucosylated. complex oligosaccharide with none (G0), one (G1) or two (G2) terminal galactose residues.
- The carbohydrate profiles of hlg01 containing mutations within the Fo, aimed at abrogating binding to Fo receptors, were analyzed and compared to that obtained for the wild type antibody. The IgG variants containing one of the mutations within the Fc (P329G, LALA, P329A, P329G/LALA) show similar carbohydrate profiles to the wild type antibody, with the Fc-associated glycans being fucosylated complex oligosaccharides (data not shown). Mutation within the Fc can affect the level of terminal galactosylation and terminal sialylation, as observed by replacing amino acid at positions 241, 243, 263, 265, or 301 by alanine (Lund, J. et al., J. Immunol. 157 (1996) 4963-4969).
-
FIG. 6 a shows the relative percentage of galactosylation for the different hIgG1 Fc-variants described here. Slight variations can be observed when the antibodies are expressed in a different host, but no significant difference in terminal galactosylation could be observed. -
FIG. 6 b indicates the variability in galactosylation content for wild type and IgG1-P329G/LALA for 4 different antibodies, where four different V-domains were compared for their amount of galactosylation when expressed in Hek293 EBNA cells. - Antibody-Induced Platelet Aggregation in Whole Blood Assay.
- Whole blood platelet aggregation analysis using the Multiplate instrument from Dynabyte. First, 20 ml blood from normal human donors are withdrawn and transferred into hiruidin tubes (Dynabyte Medical, # MP0601). Plug minicell Impedance device (Dynabead #MP0021) into the Multiplate instrument was used for the assay. Then, 175 μl 0.9% NaCl were added to the minicell. Antibody was added to minicell to obtain the final test concentration. Then, 175 μl homan blood were added and incubated for 3 min at 37ºC, Automated start of impedance analysis for additional 6 min at 37° C. The data were analyzed by quantification of area-under-the-curve as a measure of platelet aggregation.
- The CD9 antibody has been shown to induce platelet activation and platelet aggregation (Worthington, et al., Br. J. Hematol. 74(2) (1990) 216-222). Platelet aggregation induced by antibodies binding to platelets previously has been shown to involve binding to FcγRIIA (de Reys, et al., Blood 81 (1993) 1792-1800). As shown above the mutations LALA, P329G, P329G/LALA and P329G/SPLE introduced into the CD9 antibody strongly reduced binding of the CD9 antibody to the FcγRIIA receptor (
FIG. 1 e ). - The activation (measured by Ca efflux, data not shown) as well as platelet aggregation induced by & CD9 antibody was eliminated by introducing the P329G and LALA triple mutation into the antibody such that the FcγRIIA binding is strongly reduced compared to the wildtype antibody (see
FIGS. 7 a and 7 b ). Murine IgGI induced platelet aggregation at low antibody concentrations (0.1-1 μ/ml). At higher concentrations overstimulation of platelets leads to silencing of the aggregation response (3-30 ng/ml). Donor variability was observed with chim-hu-IgG4-SPLE. InFIG. 6 a data for a chim-hu-IgG4-SPLE responder at higher antibody concentrations and inFIG. 6 b data for a chim-bu-IgG4-SPLE non-responder is shown. None of the blood samples showed any aggregation response with the antibody variants chim-hu-IgG1-LALA, chim-hu-IgG-WT-P329G, chim-hu-IgG1-LALA-P329G, chim-hu-OgG4-SPLE-P329G, chim-hu-IgG4-SPLE-N297Q. Controls: spontaneous aggregation in untreated blood sample (background); ADP-induced (ADP) and Thrombin analogon-induced (TRAP6) platelet aggregation. Isotype controls: Murine IgGI (murine Isotype) and human IgG4-SPLE (hu-IgG4-SPLE Isotype). - One possible interpretation of these data is that the decreased binding of the CD9 antibody with the triple mutations to the FcγRIIA receptor is the reason for the diminished platelet aggregation observed with these kind of mutant antibodies. In principle, prevention of thrombocyte aggregation, as a toxic side-effect of an antibody treatment, might thus be possible by introducing the above mentioned mutations, capable of reducing binding to the FcγRIIA receptor, into the Fc part of an antibody.
