Definitions

  • the invention relates to transgenic non-human animals capable of producing heterologous antibodies, transgenes used to produce such transgenic animals, transgenes capable of functionally rearranging a heterologous D gene in V-D-J recombination, immortalized B-cells capable of producing heterologous antibodies, methods and transgenes for producing heterologous antibodies of multiple isotypes, methods and transgenes for producing heterologous antibodies wherein a variable region sequence comprises somatic mutation as compared to germline rearranged variable region sequences, transgenic nonhuman animals which produce antibodies having a human primary sequence and which bind to human antigens, hybridomas made from B cells of such transgenic animals, and monclonal antibodies expressed by such hybridomas.
  • the present technology for generating monoclonal antibodies involves pre-exposing, or priming, an animal
  • hybridoma usually a rat or mouse
  • antigen binding specificity idiotype
  • immunoglobulin class isotype
  • transgenic animals harboring a functional heterologous immunoglobulin transgene are a method by which antibodies reactive with self antigens may be produced.
  • the transgenic animal in order to obtain expression of therapeutically useful antibodies, or hybridoma clones producing such antibodies, the transgenic animal must produce transgenic B cells that are capable of maturing through the B lymphocyte development pathway. Such maturation requires the presence of surface IgM on the transgenic B cells, however isotypes other than IgM are desired for therapeutic uses.
  • transgenes and transgenic animals preferably include cis-acting sequences that facilitate isotype switching from a first isotype that is required for B cell maturation to a subsequent isotype that has superior therapeutic utility.
  • cis-acting sequences that facilitate isotype switching from a first isotype that is required for B cell maturation to a subsequent isotype that has superior therapeutic utility.
  • sequences for V(D)J joining are reportedly a highly conserved, near-palindromic heptamer and a less well conserved AT-rich nanomer separated by a spacer of either 12 or 23 bp (Tonegawa (1983), Nature. 302. 575-581; Hesse, et al. (1989), Genes in Dev.. 1053-1061) . Efficient recombination reportedly occurs only between sites containing recombination signal sequences with different length spacer regions.

  • the lambda locus can be mutated in order to fully eliminate recombination and expression of the locus.
  • the distance between the two lambda gene clusters makes it difficult to inactivate expression of the locus via the generation of a single compact targeted deletion, as was used in inactivating the murine Ig heavy and kappa light chain loci.
  • Capecchi (1987) op.cit) are constructed in which the deleted 120 kb is replaced with the selectable marker gene, neo , in a PGK expression cassette.
  • the marker is embedded within genomic lambda sequences flanking the deletion to provide homology to the lambda locus and can also contain the HSV-tk gene, at the end of one of the regions of homology, to allow for enrichment for cells which have homologously integrated the vectors.
  • Lambda locus genomic clone sequences are obtained by screening of a strain 129/Sv genomic phage library isogenic to the ES line being targeted, since the use of targeting vectors isogenic to the chromosomal DNA being targeted has been reported to enhance the efficiency of homologous recombination.

  • the first vector (vector 1 in Fig. 58) contains the marker gene flanked by total of approximately 8-12 kb of lambda locus sequences.

(1991) op.cit; Thomas et al.(1992) op.cit. ) .
  • Vectors with an additional approximately 40-60 kb of flanking lambda sequence are also constructed (vector 2 in Fig. 58) .

  • the HSV-tk gene can be added to the targeting vectors to enrich for homologous recombination events by positive-negative selection.
  • ES cells are targeted sequentially with the two vectors, such that clones are generated which carry a deletion of one of the constant region loci; these clones are then targeted sequentially with the two vectors, such that clones will be generated which carry a deletion of one of the constant region loci, and these clones are then targeted to generate a deletion of the remaining functional constant region cluster. Since both targeting events are thus being directed to the same cell, it is preferable to use a different selectable marker for the two targetings. In the schematic example shown in Fig.
  • one of the vectors contains the neo gene and the other the pac (puromycin N-acetyl transferase) gene.
  • a third potential dominant selectable marker is the hyg (hygromycin phosphotransferase) gene.
  • Both the pac and hyg genes can be been inserted into the PGK expression construct successfully used for targeting the neo gene into the Ig heavy and kappa light chain loci. Since the two lambda constant region clusters are tightly linked, it is important that the two mutations reside on the same chromosome. There preferably is a 50% probability of mutating the same allele by two independent targeting events, and linkage of the mutations is established by their co-segregation during breeding of chimeras derived from the doubly targeted ES cells.

Germline transmission of the targeted heavy chain alleles is established, and breeding of the resultant founder mice is performed to generate mice homozygous for C-region knockouts.
  • Such C-region knockout mice have several advantages as compared to J H knockout mice; for one example, C-region knockout mice have diminished ability (or completely lack the ability) to undergo trans- switching between a human heavy chain transgene and an endogenous heavy chain locus constant region, thus reducing the frequency of chimeric human/mouse heavy chains in the transgenic mouse.
  • Knockout of the murine gamma genes is preferred, although ⁇ and delta are frequently also deleted by homologous targeting.
  • C-region knockout can be done in conjunction with other targeted lesions int he endogenous murine heavy chain locus; a C-region deletion can be combined with a J H knockout to preclude productive VDJ rearrangement of the murine heavy chain locus and to preclude or reduce trans- switching between a human heavy chain transgene and the murine heavy chain locus, among others.

  • a frameshift is introduced into one of the four mouse JH gene segments and into the first exon of the mouse ⁇ gene. The two introduced frameshift mutations compensate for each other thus allowing for the expression of fully functional murine ⁇ heavy chain when a B cell uses the frameshifted JH for a functional VDJ joint. None of the other three JH segments can be used for functional VDJ joining because of the frameshift in ⁇ , which is not compensated in the remaining JH genes.
  • compensating frameshifts can be engineered into multiple murine JH genes.
  • a mouse homozygous for a compensated, frameshifted immunoglobulin heavy chain allele has an approximately physiological level of peripheral B cells, and an approximately physiological level of serum IgM comprising both murine and human ⁇ .
  • B cells recruited into germinal centers frequently undergo a class switch to a non- ⁇ isotype.
  • Such a class switch in B cells expressing the endogenous murine ⁇ chain leads to the expression of a non-compensated frameshift mRNA, since the remaining non- ⁇ C H genes do not possess a compensating frameshift.
  • the resulting B cells do not express a B cell receptor and are deleted.
  • B cells expressing a murine heavy chain are deleted once they reach the stage of differentiation where isotype switching occurs.
  • B cells expressing heavy chains encoded by a non- murine (e.g., human) transgene capable of isotype switching and which does not contain such isotype-restrictive frameshifts are capable of further development, including isotype switching and/or affinity maturation, and the like. Therefore, the frameshifted mouse has an impaired secondary response with regard to murine heavy chain ( ⁇ ) but a significant secondary response with regard to transgene- encoded heavy chains. If a heavy chain transgene that is capable of undergoing class switching is introduced into this mutant background, the non-IgM secondary response is dominated by transgene expressing B cells. It is thus possible to isolate affinity matured human sequence immunoglobulin expressing hybridomas from these frameshifted mice. Moreover, the frameshifted mice generally possess immunoprotective levels of murine IgM, which may be advantageous where the human heavy chain transgene can encode only a limited repertoire of variable regions.
  • transgenic mutant mice are immunized; their spleens fused with a myeloma cell line; and the resulting hybridomas screened for expression of the transgene encoded human non- ⁇ isotype.
  • the frameshifted mouse may be advantageous over a JH deleted mouse because it will contain a functional ⁇ switch sequence adjacent to a transcribed VDJ which serves as an active substrate for cis- switching (Gu et al. (1993) Cell 73 : 1155) ; thus reducing the level of trans-switched B cells that express chimeric human/mouse antibodies. Construction of Frameshift Vectors
  • Two separate frameshift vectors are built.
  • One of the vectors is used to introduce 2 nucleotides at the 3' end of the mouse J4 gene segment, and one of the vectors is used to delete those same two nucleotides from the 5' end of exon 1 of the mouse ⁇ gene.
  • a 3.4 kb Xhol/EcoRI fragment covering the mouse heavy chain J region and the ⁇ intronic enhancer is subcloned into a plasmid vector that contains a neomycin resistance gene as well as a herpes thymidine kinase gene under the control of a phosphoglycerate kinase promoter (tk/neo cassette; Hasty et al., (1991) Nature 350: 243).
  • This clone is then used as a substrate for generating 2 different PCR fragments using the following oligonucleotide primers: o-Al 5 '- cca eac tct gca tgc tgc aga age ttt tct gta -3 • o-A2 5'- ggt gac tga ggt ace ttg ace cca gta gtc cag -3 ' o-A3 5 » - ggt tac etc agt eac cgt etc etc aga ggt aag aat ggc etc -3 ' o-A4 5 '- agg etc eac cag ace tct eta gac age aac tac -3 '
  • Oligonucleotides o-Al and o-A2 are used to amplify a 1.2 kb fragment which is digested with SphI and Kpnl. Oligonucleotides o-A3 and o-A4 are used to amplify a 0.6 kb fragment which is digested with Kpnl and Xbal. These two digested fragments are then cloned into SphI/Xbal digested plasmid A to produce plasmid B.
  • Plasmid B contains the 2 nucleotide insertion at the end of the J4 and, in addition, contains a new Kpnl site upstream of the insertion.
  • the Kpnl site is used as a diagnostic marker for the insertion.
  • flanking sequences may be cloned into the 5* Xhol site and the 3 ' EcoRI site of plasmid B to increase its homologous recombination efficiency.
  • the resulting plasmid is then digested with SphI, or another restriction enzyme with a single site within the insert, and electroporated into embryonic stem cells which are then selected with G418 as described by Hasty et al. (1991) op.cit.
  • Homologous recombinants are identified by Southern blot hybridization and then selected with FIAU as described by Hasty et al. to obtain deleted subclones which contain only the 2 base pair insertion and the new Kpnl site in JH4. These are identified by Southern blot hybridization of Kpnl digested DNA and confirmed by DNA sequence analysis of PCR amplified JH4 DNA.
  • the resulting mouse contains a JH4 segment that has been converted from the unmutated sequence:
  • TrpGlyGlnGlyThrSerValThrVAlSerSerGlu to the mutant sequence:
  • PCR products and genomic subclones are assembled to create a vector containing a two base pair deletion at the 5' end of the first ⁇ exon.
  • a new XmnI site is also introduced downstream by changing an A to a G.
  • the sequence of the unmutated ⁇ gene is: ...ctggtcctcagA ⁇ AGTCAGTCCTTCCCAAATGTCTTCCCCCTCGTC...
  • the homologous recombination vector containing the mutant sequence is linearized and electroporated into an ES cell line containing the JH4 insertion.
  • Homologous recombinants are identified from neomycin-resistant clones. Those homologous recombinants that contain the frameshift insertion on the same chromosome as the JH4 insertion are identified by Southern blot hybridization of KpnI/BamHI digested DNA.
  • the JH4 insertion is associated with a new Kpnl site that reduces the size of the J- ⁇ intron containing KpnI/BamHI fragment from the wild type 11.3 kb to a mutant 9 kb.
  • Clones containing the mutant ⁇ exon are identified by Southern blot hybridization of XmnI digested DNA. The mutation is confirmed by DNA sequence analysis of PCR amplified ⁇ exonl DNA.
  • the ES cell line containing both the two base pair insertion in JH4, and the two base pair deletion in ⁇ exon 1, is then introduced into blastocyst stage embryos which are inserted into pseudopregnant females to generate chimeras.
  • Chimeric animals are bred to obtain germline transmission, and the resulting animals are bred to homozygosity to obtain mutant animals homozygous for compensated frameshifted heavy chain loci and having impaired secondary humoral immune responses in B cells expressing murine heavy chains.
  • a human heavy chain transgene such as for example pHCl or pHC2 and the like, may be bred into the murine heavy chain frameshift background by crossbreeding mice harboring such a human transgene into mice having the frameshifted murine IgH locus.
  • mice homozygous at the murine IgH locus for ⁇ -compensated frameshifted murine IgH alleles i.e., capable of compensated in-frame expression of only murine ⁇ and not murine non- ⁇ chains
  • a functional human heavy chain transgene e.g., pHCl or pHC2
  • mice may optionally contain knockout of endogenous murine #c and/or ⁇ loci as described supra, and may optionally comprise a human or other non-murine light chain transgene (e.g., pKCle, pKC2, and the like).
  • a human or other non-murine light chain transgene e.g., pKCle, pKC2, and the like.
  • the human transgene(s) may comprise compensating frameshifts, so that the transgene J gene(s) contain a frameshift that is compensated by a frameshift in the transgene constant region gene(s) .
  • Trans-switching to the endogenous constant region genes is uncompensated and produces a truncated or nonsense product; B cells expressing such uncompensated trans-switched immunoglobulins are selected against and depleted.
  • This example describes a positive-negative selection homologous recombination vector for replacing the mouse germline immunoglobulin heavy chain D region with a nonfunctional rearranged VDJ segment.
  • the resulting allele functions within a B cell as a normal non-productive allele, with the allele undergoing intra-allele heavy chain class switching, thereby reducing the level of trans-switching to an active transgene locus.
  • DFL16.1 is the upstream D segment (i.e., proximal to the V region gene cluster and distal to the constant region gene cluster) .
  • a 9.5 kb BamHI fragment containing JH3, JH4, E ⁇ , S ⁇ , and the first two coding exons of the ⁇ constant region is isolated and subcloned from a mouse strain 129 genomic phage library.
  • a 5-10 kb rearranged VDJ is then isolated from a mouse hybridoma (any strain) and a synthetic linker containing a stop codon is inserted into the J segment.
  • the stop linker within the J is preferable to an out-of-frame VDJ junction because of the possibility of V replacement rearrangements.
  • the targeting vector is formed by ligating the 8-15 kb DNA fragment to the positive selection cassette (e.g., PGKneo), which is itself ligated to the rearranged 5-10 kb rearranged VDJ, which is itself ligated to the 9.5 kb BamHI fragment; the negative selection cassette (e.g. , PGKHSVtk) is then ligated at either end of the targeting construct.
  • the positive selection cassette e.g., PGKneo
  • VDJ e.g., PGKHSVtk
