Definitions
- the present invention introduces amino acid modifications into the Fc region of an antibody, so that when compared to a polypeptide containing the Fc region of natural human IgG, while maintaining the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb, all active Fc ⁇ R
- the present invention relates to an Fc region variant capable of reducing the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIa (R type), a polypeptide containing the Fc region variant, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide.
- Non-patent Documents 1 and 2 various technologies have been developed as technologies applicable to second-generation antibody drugs, such as technologies that improve effector function, antigen binding ability, pharmacokinetics, stability, or reduce immunogenicity risk, etc. has been reported (Non-Patent Document 3). Since antibody drugs generally have a very high dose, it is considered that it is difficult to produce a subcutaneously administered preparation and that the production cost is high. As a method for reducing the dose of the antibody drug, a method for improving the pharmacokinetics of the antibody and a method for improving the affinity between the antibody and the antigen can be considered.
- Non-patent Documents 4 and 5 As a method for improving the pharmacokinetics of antibodies, artificial amino acid substitution in the constant region has been reported (Non-patent Documents 4 and 5). Affinity maturation technique (Non-patent Document 6) has been reported as a technique for enhancing antigen-binding ability and antigen-neutralizing ability. By introducing mutations into amino acids such as CDR regions of variable regions, binding activity to antigens is reported. Can be enhanced. It is possible to improve the biological activity of in vitro or reduce the dose by enhancing the antigen-binding ability, and further improve the drug efficacy in in vivo (in vivo) (Non-patent Document 7). ).
- the amount of antigen that can be neutralized per antibody molecule depends on the affinity, and it is possible to neutralize the antigen with a small amount of antibody by increasing the affinity, and increase the affinity of the antibody by various methods. Is possible (Non-Patent Document 6). Furthermore, if it is possible to covalently bind to an antigen and make the affinity infinite, it is possible to neutralize one molecule of antigen (two antigens in the case of bivalence) with one molecule of antibody. However, in the conventional methods, one molecule of antibody is limited to bind to one molecule of antigen (in the case of bivalent, two antigens).
- Non-Patent Document 8 discloses an antigen-binding molecule that binds to an antigen in a pH-dependent manner.
- the pH-dependent antigen-binding molecule binds strongly to the antigen under neutral conditions in plasma and dissociates the antigen under acidic conditions within the endosome.
- the antigen-binding molecule is recycled into the plasma by FcRn after dissociating the antigen, it can bind to the antigen again, so it can bind to multiple antigens repeatedly with one pH-dependent antigen-binding molecule. It becomes possible.
- pH-dependent antigen-binding molecules modified to enhance FcRn binding under neutral conditions have the effect of repeatedly binding to the antigen and the effect of eliminating the antigen from plasma. Therefore, it has been reported that it is possible to remove an antigen from plasma by administration of such an antigen-binding molecule (Patent Document 2).
- a pH-dependent antigen-binding molecule containing the Fc region of a normal IgG antibody hardly binds to FcRn under neutral conditions. Therefore, it is considered that the complex of the antigen-binding molecule and the antigen is taken up into the cell mainly due to non-specific uptake.
- pH-dependent antigen-binding molecules modified to enhance FcRn binding under neutral conditions are more potent than pH-dependent antigen-binding molecules containing the Fc region of normal IgG antibodies. It is possible to further accelerate the disappearance of the antigen (Patent Document 2).
- antigens Since the retention of antigens in plasma is very short compared to antibodies that have a recycling mechanism through FcRn, antigens must bind to antibodies that have the recycling mechanism in plasma (its binding is not pH-dependent). As a result, the retention in plasma is usually prolonged and the antigen concentration in plasma is increased. For example, when an antigen in plasma has multiple types of physiological functions, even if one type of physiological activity is blocked by antibody binding, the plasma concentration of the antigen may cause other physiological functions due to antibody binding. It may be possible to exacerbate the symptoms. From this point of view, there are cases where it is preferable to eliminate the antigen in plasma.
- Non-patent Documents 12 and 13 It has been suggested that platelets aggregate through the blood vessels, resulting in the formation of a thrombus.
- Non-patent Document 14 In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, which is one of the autoimmune diseases, it is reported that platelets are activated by an Fc ⁇ RIIa-dependent mechanism, and that platelet activation correlates with severity (Non-patent Document 14). Further, studies using animal models so far have also reported that immune complexes of antibodies and multivalent antigens induce anaphylaxis via active Fc ⁇ R (Non-patent Document 15).
- Non-patent Document 16 Non-patent Document 17
- an antibody against the antibody drug itself may be easily produced.
- the blood kinetics may deteriorate, or the neutralizing antibody may reduce the effect of the drug.
- the antibody binds to the multivalent antigen to form an immune complex, and that the complex interacts with active Fc ⁇ R to induce various side effects. Detracts from value.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to introduce an amino acid modification in the Fc region of an antibody to accelerate the disappearance of an antigen, while originating from the binding to active Fc ⁇ R. It is an object of the present invention to provide a molecule that overcomes the shortcomings. That is, the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb is maintained when compared with the polypeptide containing the Fc region of the natural IgG antibody, but the binding activity to all active Fc ⁇ Rs, especially the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIa (R type) is reduced. Another object is to provide an Fc region variant that can be prepared, a polypeptide containing the Fc region variant, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide.
- the present inventors introduced all amino acid Fc ⁇ Rs, particularly Fc ⁇ RIIa, while maintaining the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb, by introducing an amino acid modification in the Fc region, as compared with a polypeptide containing the Fc region of natural IgG.
- Fc region variants capable of reducing the binding activity to (R-type) and polypeptides containing the Fc region variants.
- the present inventors combined Fc region variants in which the Fc region EU numbering 238th amino acid was modified with other amino acid modifications, while maintaining the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb. It was found that the binding activity against type Fc ⁇ R, particularly the binding activity against Fc ⁇ RIIa (R type), can be reduced.

- a pH-dependent antigen-binding molecule that has been modified to further enhance FcRn binding under neutral conditions (pH 7.4) Since it has the effect of repeatedly binding to the antigen and the effect of eliminating the antigen from the plasma, it may be possible to remove the antigen from the plasma by administering a polypeptide having such an antigen-binding domain.

- the disappearance of the antigen in plasma was accelerated more than that of the antigen alone through the binding with Fc ⁇ R.
- the following mechanism is exemplified as the reason why this occurs in the clone 278 and the like.
- an antigen-binding domain When there is only one site (ie, a homomonomer) to which an antigen-binding domain can bind, such as sIL-6R, two molecules of antigen bind to one molecule of antibody that contains a bivalent antigen-binding domain. Forms a complex with two molecules of an antigen molecule comprising one molecule of anti-sIL-6R antibody and two units of antigen binding unit. Therefore, such an antigen-antibody complex has only one Fc region (Fc region of natural IgG1) as shown in FIG. Since the complex binds to one molecule of Fc ⁇ R or two molecules of FcRn through one Fc region, the affinity for these receptors is the same as that of ordinary IgG antibodies, and the uptake into cells is the main. It can be considered to occur non-specifically.
- Fc region of natural IgG1 Fc region of natural IgG1
- the antigen binding domain when there are two epitopes to which the antigen binding domain binds, such as a dimer of a hetero complex of heavy and light chains such as human IgE, it is included in one molecule of anti-IgE antibody It is considered that it is difficult to bind each bivalent individual antigen-binding domain to two units of epitope present in one molecule of IgE molecule from the viewpoint of epitope arrangement and the like. As a result, another anti-IgE antibody molecule binds to two antigen-binding units present in two molecules of IgE that bind to the bivalent antigen-binding domain present in one molecule of anti-IgE antibody.

- the polypeptide of the present invention has an antigen-binding domain whose binding to the antigen varies depending on the ion concentration conditions such as pH-dependent binding
- the polypeptide is, for example, an antibody, an antigen-antibody complex (immunocomplex) consisting of at least four molecules (bimolecular antigen and bimolecular antibody) or more is formed in plasma, and the immune complex is a cell.
- the antigen is dissociated from the antibody in the endosome because the condition of its ion concentration is different from that in plasma.
- the formation of the immune complex is eliminated in the endosome of the cell into which the immune complex has been taken up. Since the dissociated antigen cannot bind to FcRn within the endosome, it is degraded after transfer to the lysosome. On the other hand, it is considered that the antibody dissociated from the antigen is recycled into plasma after binding to FcRn in the endosome. Similar recycling is possible depending on ion concentration conditions other than the pH conditions of this example. In Reference Examples 3 to 6, instead of pH-dependent conditions, antigens whose antigen-binding activity varies depending on calcium concentration conditions. It has been shown that binding domains can be used to accelerate the disappearance of antigens in plasma.

- Fc ⁇ RIIB of Fc ⁇ R plays a major role in the removal of antigens through Fc ⁇ R of antibodies, and side effects derived from interaction with Fc ⁇ R interact with active Fc ⁇ R. Due to the action, while maintaining the binding to Fc ⁇ RIIB, by selectively attenuating the binding to other active Fc ⁇ R, the side effects derived from active Fc ⁇ R were reduced without losing the ability to eliminate antigen. Excellent antibodies can be produced.

- K322E was also examined because it was expected that the substitution of Glu with the opposite charge at the EU numbering 322th Lys would reduce the binding to C1q.
- IgG4 has significantly lower CDC activity than IgG1, which is reported to be caused by a difference in the sequence of the C-terminal of the CH2 domain (J. Exp. Med., 1991, 173, 1025-1028) . Therefore, IgG1 EU numbering 327th Ala as Gly, 330th Ala as Ser, 331th Pro as Ser, and IgG4 type sequence to reduce binding to C1q went.
- the binding to the human C1q of a variant with enhanced binding to FcgRIIb or a variant with reduced binding to other FcgR while maintaining binding to FcgRIIb was evaluated.
- bonding to C1q with respect to them was produced and evaluated.
- the binding to each FcgR of the variant prepared according to the method of Reference Example 2 was evaluated for all the variants.
- Human IgG4 was used as a negative control in the evaluation of binding to C1q.
- the 228th Ser of EU numbering of human IgG4 was replaced with Pro to prepare IL6R-G4d (SEQ ID NO: 52) having G4d from which Cly terminal Gly and Lys were removed.
- IL6R-L (SEQ ID NO: 6) was commonly used as the antibody L chain.
- Table 18 shows the results of evaluating the produced variants and the binding to human C1q. “The amount of C1q binding when G1d is 100” in the table is the amount of C1q binding to each variant divided by the amount captured by each variant. Dividing the amount of C1q binding by the capture amount of IL6R-G1d / IL6R-L, and then multiplying by 100. That is, it shows how much C1q binds to IL6R-G1d / IL6R-L.
- G4d As a negative control was 15.5.
- G1dK322A, G1dK322E, and G1dGSS with G1d modified to reduce the binding to C1q bind to C1q at 20.5, 2.3, and 15.2 respectively, and are equal to or less than G4d before modification. It was found that the bond of was greatly reduced.
- F648 introduced with the P238D modification that selectively enhances binding to FcgRIIB has the same degree of binding to C1q as G4d without using the modification for reducing binding to C1q.
- the binding ability of P741, P742, and P743 into which C1q binding reduction modification was further introduced was all equal to or less than that of G4d.
- P600, P691, P727, P729, P733, and 737P737 which are variants that maintain the binding to FcgRIIb at the same level as the natural type and attenuate the binding ability to other FcgR, P600, P691, P729, P733 All had C1q binding activity comparable to that of G4d.
- P727 and P737 were greatly attenuated compared to G1d, they showed more than twice the binding ability compared to G4d. It is considered that the modification of A330H was introduced into both variants in common, thereby enhancing the binding to C1q.
- the binding activity to C1q was suppressed to G4d or less by introducing K322A or K322E, which is a C1q binding reduction modification.
- P587, P588, P769, P112, P555, P556, P559, P562, P763, P764, and P765, which are variants with enhanced FcgRIIb binding P587 and P588 have the same or higher binding to C1q than G1d It became clear. Although P769, P556, P559, P562, P763, and P765 were greatly attenuated compared to G1d, they showed about twice the binding ability compared to G4d. On the other hand, P112 and P764 had C1q binding activity comparable to G4d. Moreover, it was shown that the binding activity to C1q was suppressed to the same level or lower than that of G4d by introducing the C1q binding lowering modification in any of the variants.
- Table 19 shows the relative binding activity of each variant to FcgRIIaR and FcgRIIb. This is a value obtained by dividing the value of the binding amount of each variant to FcgRIIaR or FcgRIIb by the value of the binding amount of IL6R-G1d / IL6R-L to FcgRIIaR or FcgRIIb and multiplying by 100.
- a variant containing a modification that reduces binding to complement shown in Table 19 has a relative binding activity to FcgRIIaR of 105% or less compared to G1d and a relative binding activity to FcgRIIb compared to G1d. And maintained more than 48%.
- Table 20 shows the binding of these variants to each FcgR.
- the relative binding activity in the table is the value obtained by dividing the KD value of IL6R-G1d / IL6R-L by the KD value of each variant, and the KD value for each FcgR of IL6R-G1d / IL6R-L is 1.
- the relative binding activity of each variant is shown.
- the KD values in the table among the KD values in the table, the values filled in gray are weakly bound to each variant of FcgR, and it was determined that the kinetic analysis could not correctly analyze, [Formula 2] described in Reference Example 2 This is a value calculated using.
- G1dK322A with K322A introduced to G1d was 1.0 times G1d, G1dK322E with K322E introduced 1.1 times, A327G / A330S / P331S introduced In the G1dGSS, 0.91 fold, any C1q binding reduction modification hardly affects the binding to FcgRIIb.
- P741 introduced with K322A or P742 introduced K322E with respect to F648 containing the P238D modification that selectively enhances the binding to FcgRIIb has almost the same binding to hFcgRIIb as compared to F648 before the introduction of the modification.
- the binding to FcgRIIb is 0.7 times compared to G1d in P744 with K322A introduced into P600, and 0.7 times with P745 into which K322E was introduced, but 0.2 times in P781 with A327G / A330S / P331S introduced. It is falling.
- A327G / A330S / P331S which is a sequence of natural human IgG4, rather than introducing K322A or K322E. Therefore, when a modification for reducing C1q binding is introduced into a variant into which a modification that enhances binding to FcgRIIb is introduced, the A327G / A330S / P331S modification may be more preferable.
- All of the variants with enhanced or maintained binding to FcgRIIb and reduced complement binding produced in this study had a binding to FcgRIIb of 0.2 or more times that of G1d, and the binding to FcgRIIaR was 1.0 of G1d. It was suppressed to less than double.

- the antigen-binding molecule having the Fc region of the mouse IgG1 antibody has the binding activity to the mouse Fc ⁇ R of the antigen-binding molecule having the Fc region of the mouse IgG1 antibody in the same manner as the antibody in which the binding activity of the antigen-binding molecule having the Fc region of the human IgG1 antibody is enhanced. It was also shown that the disappearance of soluble IL-6 receptor in plasma was accelerated in mice administered with the enhanced antibody. Although not bound by a specific theory, the phenomenon seen here can be explained as follows.
- an antibody that binds to a soluble antigen in a pH-dependent manner and enhances the binding activity to Fc ⁇ R is administered to mice, it is actively taken up mainly by cells expressing Fc ⁇ R on the cell membrane.
- the incorporated antibody is recycled into plasma via FcRn after dissociating the soluble antigen under conditions of acidic pH in the endosome. Therefore, one of the factors that bring about the effect of eliminating the soluble antigen in plasma by such an antibody is the strength of the binding activity of the antibody to Fc ⁇ R. That is, it is considered that the stronger the binding activity to Fc ⁇ R, the more actively it is taken into Fc ⁇ R-expressing cells and the faster the soluble antigen in plasma can be eliminated.
- the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration of Fc ⁇ RIII-deficient mice administered with mF44 and mF46 mimicking the situation in which the binding activity of mIgG1 (natural mouse IgG1) to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb was selectively enhanced was In both cases, it was confirmed that all significantly decreased as compared to the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration of mice administered with mIgG1. Particularly, the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the mF44 administration group was reduced to about 3 times that in the mIgG1 administration group, and the accumulation of antigen concentration caused by antibody administration was suppressed.
- the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the mF46 administration group was about 6 times the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the non-antibody administration group on the third day after administration, and the plasma IL- Compared to the 6 receptor concentration, it was about 25 times lower. From this result, the higher the binding activity of mouse anti-human IL-6 receptor antibody that binds to antigen in a pH-dependent manner to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb, the lower the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in mice when it is administered. was shown to be possible.
- mF44 and mF46 were administered that mimic the situation in which only the binding activity to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb was selectively enhanced relative to mIgG1 (natural mouse IgG1).
- the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration of Fc receptor ⁇ chain-deficient mice was significantly lower than that of Fc receptor ⁇ -chain-deficient mice treated with mIgG1.
- the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the mF44 administration group is about 3 times lower than the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the mIgG1 administration group, and the accumulation of antigen concentration caused by antibody administration is suppressed. It was.
- the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the mF46 administration group was about 5 times higher than the plasma IL-6 receptor concentration in the antibody non-administration group on the third day after administration, and the plasma IL-6 concentration in the mIgG1 administration group. Compared to the receptor concentration, it was about 15 times lower.
- mF44 and mF46 which are antibodies that selectively enhance the binding activity of mIgG1 (natural mouse IgG1) to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb and mouse Fc ⁇ RIII, are taken up into cells expressing Fc ⁇ R mainly via mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb.
- mIgG1 naturally mouse IgG1
- mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb mouse Fc ⁇ RIII
- the uptake of antibody-antigen complexes via Fc ⁇ RIII into Fc ⁇ R-expressing cells does not greatly contribute to the disappearance of soluble antigens in plasma.
- soluble IL-6 receptor in plasma of mice administered with Fv4-IgG1-F1087 (heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 28, light chain SEQ ID NO: 29) having improved binding activity to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb and mouse Fc ⁇ RIII While the concentration was significantly reduced, the elimination effect of soluble IL-6 receptor in plasma of mice administered with Fv4-IgG1-F1182 whose binding activity to mouse Fc ⁇ RI and mouse Fc ⁇ RIV was improved was Fv4-IgG1 -It was also confirmed that it was smaller than that of F1087.
- mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb plays a main role among a plurality of mouse Fc ⁇ Rs in uptake of antibodies into Fc ⁇ R-expressing cells in mice. Therefore, although not particularly limited, it can be considered that a mutation that enhances binding to mouse Fc ⁇ RIIb is particularly preferable as a mutation introduced into the mouse Fc ⁇ R binding domain.
- an antigen-binding molecule that binds to a soluble antigen in a pH-dependent manner and enhances the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb accelerates the disappearance of the soluble antigen in plasma when administered in vivo. It was clarified that the soluble antigen concentration in plasma can be effectively reduced and exhibits extremely effective action.
- the binding activity to all Fc ⁇ Rs is reduced while maintaining the binding activity to Fc ⁇ RIIb as compared with the polypeptide containing the Fc region of natural IgG.
- Fc region variants and polypeptides comprising the Fc region variants are provided.
- the polypeptide it becomes possible to transmit an inhibitory signal of an inflammatory immune response via phosphorylation of Icy of Fc ⁇ RIIb.
- the Fc of an antibody the property of selectively binding to Fc ⁇ RIIb, there is a possibility that anti-antibody production can be suppressed through an immunosuppressive action via Fc ⁇ RIIb.
Abstract
Description
また、これまでに動物モデルを用いた研究により、抗体と多価抗原の免疫複合体が活性型FcγRを介してアナフィラキシーを誘導することも報告されている(非特許文献15)。
加えて、活性型のFcγRを介して多価抗原と抗体の免疫複合体が取り込まれることにより、その抗原に対する抗体価の産生が高くなることが報告されている(非特許文献16、非特許文献17)。この結果は多価抗原を認識する抗体医薬品の場合、抗体医薬品自身に対する抗体が産生しやすくなる可能性を示唆している。抗体医薬品に対する抗体が産生された場合、その血中動態が悪化する、あるいは中和抗体が医薬品の効果を減弱させることが考えられる。
このように、抗体が多価抗原と結合することで免疫複合体を形成し、その複合体が活性型FcγRと相互作用することで様々な副作用を誘導することが考えられ、抗体の医薬品としての価値を減じてしまう。

さらに本発明は、本発明のFc領域のアミノ酸改変が導入されたFc領域改変体、及び、血漿中に可溶型で存在し病因となる抗原に対して結合活性を有し、イオン濃度の条件によって当該抗原に対する結合活性が変化する抗原結合ドメインを含むポリペプチドによる、血漿中の当該抗原の消失を促進する方法に関する。また、本発明のFc領域のアミノ酸改変が導入されたFc領域改変体、及び、血漿中に可溶型で存在し病因となる抗原に対して結合活性を有し、イオン濃度の条件によって当該抗原に対する結合活性が変化する抗原結合ドメインを含むポリペプチドの、血漿中の当該抗原の消失を促進させるための使用に関する。
FcγRは、ヒト、マウス、ラット、ウサギおよびサル由来のものが含まれるが、これらに限定されず、いかなる生物由来でもよい。マウスFcγR類には、FcγRI(CD64)、FcγRII(CD32)、FcγRIII(CD16)およびFcγRIII-2(CD16-2)、並びにいかなる未発見のマウスFcγR類またはFcγRアイソフォームまたはアロタイプも含まれるが、これらに限定されない。こうしたFcγ受容体の好適な例としてはヒトFcγRI(CD64)、FcγRIIA(CD32)、FcγRIIB(CD32)、FcγRIIIA(CD16)及び/又はFcγRIIIB(CD16)が挙げられる。
FcγRIIAのポリヌクレオチド配列及びアミノ酸配列は、それぞれ配列番号:37(BC020823.1)及び38(AAH20823.1)に、
FcγRIIBのポリヌクレオチド配列及びアミノ酸配列は、それぞれ配列番号:39(BC146678.1)及び40(AAI46679.1)に、
FcγRIIIAのポリヌクレオチド配列及びアミノ酸配列は、それぞれ配列番号:41(BC033678.1)及び42(AAH33678.1)に、及び
FcγRIIIBのポリヌクレオチド配列及びアミノ酸配列は、それぞれ配列番号:43(BC128562.1)及び44(AAI28563.1)に記載されている(カッコ内はRefSeq登録番号を示す)。
FcγRIa、FcγRIbおよびFcγRIcを含むFcγRI(CD64)ならびにアイソフォームFcγRIIIa(アロタイプV158およびF158を含む)を含むFcγRIII(CD16)は、IgGのFc部分と結合するα鎖と細胞内に活性化シグナルを伝達するITAMを有する共通γ鎖が会合する。FcγRIIIb(アロタイプFcγRIIIb-NA1およびFcγRIIIb-NA2を含む)はGPIアンカータンパク質である。一方、アイソフォームFcγRIIa(アロタイプH131およびR131を含む)およびFcγRIIcを含むFcγRII(CD32)の自身の細胞質ドメインにはITAMが含まれている。これらのレセプターは、マクロファージやマスト細胞、抗原提示細胞等の多くの免疫細胞に発現している。これらのレセプターがIgGのFc部分に結合することによって伝達される活性化シグナルによって、マクロファージの貪食能や炎症性サイトカインの産生、マスト細胞の脱顆粒、抗原提示細胞の機能亢進が促進される。上記のように活性化シグナルを伝達する能力を有するFcγレセプターは、本発明においても活性型Fcγレセプターと呼ばれる。
一方、FcγRIIb(FcγRIIb-1およびFcγRIIb-2を含む)の自身の細胞質内ドメインには抑制型シグナルを伝達するITIMが含まれている。B細胞ではFcγRIIbとB細胞レセプター(BCR)との架橋によってBCRからの活性化シグナルが抑制される結果BCRの抗体産生が抑制される。マクロファージでは、FcγRIIIとFcγRIIbとの架橋によって貪食能や炎症性サイトカインの産生能が抑制される。上記のように抑制化シグナルを伝達する能力を有するFcγレセプターは、本発明においても抑制型Fcγレセプターと呼ばれる。
本発明のFc領域改変体が、天然型IgGのFc領域のFcγRIIbに対する結合活性を維持しているかどうかは、例えば、上記例に従って求めた、本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドのFcγRIIbに対するKD値と天然型IgGのFc領域を含むポリぺプチドのFcγRIIbに対するKD値とを比較することによって判断することが可能である。具体的には、親Fc領域を含むポリペプチドに比べて本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドのKD値が同等かそれ以下の値である場合、本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドは、親Fc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドに比べて、FcγRIIbに対する結合活性を維持したと判断することができる。また、本発明のFc領域改変体が、天然型IgGのFc領域の活性型FcγRに対する結合活性より減少しているかどうかについても、例えば、同様に、上記例に従って求めた、本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドの活性型FcγRに対するKD値と天然型IgGのFc領域を含むポリぺプチドの活性型FcγRに対するKD値とを比較することによって判断することが可能である。具体的には、親Fc領域を含むポリペプチドに比べて本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドのKD値が増大している場合、本発明のFc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドは、親Fc領域改変体を含むポリペプチドに比べて、活性型FcγRに対する結合活性が減少したと判断することができる。特にFcγRIIa(R型)に対する結合活性は、他の活性型FcγRに対するものよりも、FcγRIIbに対する結合活性と相関しやすいため、FcγRIIbに対する結合活性を維持しつつ、FcγRIIa(R型)に対する結合活性を減少できるアミノ酸改変を見出すことが、FcγRIIb以外の他の活性型FcγRに対する結合活性を選択的に減少させる上で最も困難な課題である。
また、FcγRIIbに対する選択性が向上したFc領域又は当該Fc領域を含むポリペプチドとは、あるいは活性型FcγRに対する結合活性が選択的に低減されたFc領域又は当該Fc領域を含むポリペプチドとは、FcγRIIbに対する結合活性は維持しつつも、活性型FcγRに対する結合活性が減少、低減、あるいは減弱したFc領域又は当該Fc領域を含むポリペプチドをいう。

国際公開第WO2011/122011号に記載されているように、pH依存的抗原結合分子をさらに中性条件下(pH7.4)におけるFcRn結合を増強するように改変されたpH依存的抗原結合分子は、抗原に繰り返し結合できる効果、および、血漿中から抗原を消失させる効果を有しているため、こうした抗原結合ドメインを有するポリペプチドの投与によって血漿中から抗原を除去することが可能であることが報告されている(国際公開第WO2011/122011号)。しかし、これまでに中性条件下でのFcRn結合を増強させる以外の方法で、抗原の除去を加速する方法は報告されていない。
そのような例として、抗原結合ドメインを有するポリペプチドのカクテルを用いた単量体抗原の血漿中からの消失を促進する方法を挙げることができる。
また、その他の例として、多重特異性または多重パラトピックな抗原結合ドメインを含むポリペプチドを用いた単量体抗原の血漿中からの消失を促進する方法を挙げることができる。
さらに、二種類のモノクローナル抗体をそれぞれ取得し、それらをin vitroで還元剤存在下混合することで二重特異性抗体を取得する技術も報告されている(国際公開WO2008/119353)。本手法は二種類のモノクローナル抗体が還元剤によって半分子ずつに開裂し、これらが再会合することによって一定の割合で二重特異性抗体を得るものである。またCH3ドメインに存在するアミノ酸を置換することで半分子の再会合を制御し、より効率良く二重特異性抗体を得る方法も報告されている(国際公開WO2011/131746)。このような方法も二重特異性抗体を製造する際に、採用され得る。
A値=各時点での抗原のモル濃度
B値=各時点での抗原結合分子のモル濃度
C値=各時点での抗原結合分子のモル濃度あたりの抗原のモル濃度(抗原/抗原結合分子モル比)
C=A/B。

エンドソーム内で抗原を解離することができる抗体は、抗原に対してpH依存的に結合するだけでなく、Ca依存的に結合する抗原に結合することによっても創製することが可能である。そこで、クローン278およびコントロールとなるpH依存的IgE結合能を有さないXolair (omalizumab, Novartis)の、ヒトIgE(hIgE)に対するpH依存的結合能およびpH/Ca依存的結合能が評価された。
・1.2 mmol/l CaCl2 /0.05% tween20, 20 mmol/l ACES, 150 mmol/l NaCl, pH7.4
・1.2 mmol/l CaCl2 /0.05% tween20, 20 mmol/l ACES, 150 mmol/l NaCl, pH5.8
・3 μmol/l CaCl2 /0.05% tween20, 20 mmol/l ACES, 150 mmol/l NaCl, pH5.8
クローン278がヒトIgEと中性条件下(pH7.4)において二分子の抗IgE抗体および二分子のIgE以上からなる大きな免疫複合体を形成すること、またその免疫複合体が酸性条件下(pH5.8)において解離することがゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーにより評価された。100 mM NaClに透析処理されたクローン278は、中性条件下のサンプルとして20mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl, 1.2mM CaCl2, pH7.4のバッファー、酸性条件下のサンプルとして20mM Bis-tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl, 3μM CaCl2, pH5.8のバッファーを用いて希釈された。ヒトIgEであるhIgE(Asp6)100μg/mL(0.60μM)とクローン278が1:1、1:6のモル比で混合された混合液が、室温または25℃オートサンプラー中で2時間以上放置後、ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーで分析された。中性条件下では20mM Tris-HCl, 300mM NaCl, 1.2mM CaCl2, pH7.4の移動相、酸性条件下では20mM Bis-tris-HCl, 300mM NaCl, 3uM CaCl2, pH5.8の移動相がそれぞれ用いられた。カラムはG4000SWxl (TOSOH)を用い、流速0.5mL/min、25℃の条件下で分析された。その結果を図1に示した。図1に示すとおり、クローン278とヒトIgEは、中性条件下において、見かけの分子量670kDa程度からなる(抗体一分子を一量体と仮定した場合における)4量体およびそれ以上の多量体からなる大きな免疫複合体を形成したことが確認された。さらに、酸性条件下においては、このような免疫複合体は認められなかったことから、上述のBiacoreを用いた結合の評価と同様、pH依存的にこれらの免疫複合体は解離することが確認された。
(2-1)In vivo評価用のヒトIgE(hIgE(Asp6))の調製
重鎖(配列番号:15)および軽鎖(配列番号:14)からなるin vivo評価用のヒトIgEであるhIgE (Asp6)(可変領域は抗ヒトGlypican3抗体)は、実施例1と同様の方法で調製された。hIgE(Asp6)は、ヒトIgEのN型糖鎖のヘテロジェニティーが、抗原であるヒトIgEの血漿中濃度推移の影響を受けないようにするために、ヒトIgEの6か所のN型糖鎖結合サイトのアスパラギンがアスパラギン酸に改変された分子である。
C57BL/6Jマウス(Charles river Japan)にhIgE(Asp6)を単独投与、もしくはhIgE(Asp6)および抗hIgE抗体(クローン278またはXolair)を同時投与した後のhIgE(Asp6)および抗ヒトIgE抗体の体内動態が評価された。hIgE(Asp6)(20μg/mL)もしくはhIgE(Asp6)および抗ヒトIgE抗体の混合溶液(濃度は表6に記載)が尾静脈から10mL/kgで単回投与された。このとき、hIgE(Asp6)に対して各抗体は十分量過剰に存在することから、hIgE(Asp6)はほぼ全て抗体に結合していると考えられる。投与後5分間、2時間、7時間、1日間、2日間、4日間もしくは5日間、7日間、14日間、21日間、28日間で当該マウスから血液が採血された。採取された血液をただちに4℃、15,000 rpmで5分間遠心分離して、血漿が得られた。分離された血漿は、測定を実施するまで、-20℃以下に設定された冷凍庫に保存された。
マウス血漿中hIgE(Asp6)濃度はELISA法にて測定された。血漿中濃度として192、96、48、24、12、6、3 ng/mLの検量線試料が調製された。hIgE(Asp6)と抗hIgE抗体の免疫複合体を均一にするため、検量線およびマウス血漿測定試料には、10μg/mLとなるようにXolair(Novartis)を添加し、室温で30分静置させた。静置後の検量線およびマウス血漿測定試料をanti-human IgEが固相化されたイムノプレート(MABTECH)もしくは、anti-human IgE(clone 107、MABTECH)が固相化されたイムノプレート(Nunc F96 MicroWell Plate(Nalge nunc International))に分注し、室温で2時間静置もしくは4℃で一晩静置させた。その後、human GPC3 core protein(配列番号:16)、NHS-PEG4-Biotin(Thermo Fisher Scientific)でbiotin化された抗GPC3抗体(社内調製)、Sterptavidin-PolyHRP80(Stereospecific Detection Technologies)をそれぞれ1時間順次反応させた。TMB One Component HRP Microwell Substrate(BioFX Laboratories)を基質として用いた発色反応を1 N-Sulfuric acid(Showa Chemical)で反応停止後、当該発色をマイクロプレートリーダーにて450nmの吸光度を測定する方法、もしくはSuperSignal(r) ELISA Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate(Thermo Fisher Scientific)を基質として発光反応を行い、マイクロプレートリーダーにて発光強度を測定する方法によってマウス血漿中濃度が測定された。マウス血漿中濃度は検量線の吸光度もしくは発光強度から解析ソフトウェアSOFTmax PRO(Molecular Devices)を用いて算出された。この方法で測定された静脈内投与後の血漿中hIgE(Asp6)濃度推移を図2に示した。図中でクローン278は278-IgG1、XolairはXolair-IgG1と表記された。
マウス血漿中の抗hIgE抗体濃度はELISA法にて測定された。血漿中濃度として0.4、0.2、0.1、0.05、0.025、0.0125、0.00625μg/mLの検量線試料が調製された。hIgE(Asp6)と抗hIgE抗体の免疫複合体を均一にするため、検量線およびマウス血漿測定試料は、1μg/mLとなるようにhIgE(Asp6)が添加された後、室温で30分静置した。静置後の検量線およびマウス血漿測定試料をAnti-Human Kappa Light Chain Antibody(Bethyl Laboratories)が固相化されたイムノプレート(Nunc-Immuno Plate, MaxiSorp(Nalge nunc International))に分注し、室温で2時間静置もしくは4℃で一晩静置させた。その後、Rabbit anti-Human IgG (Fc) Secondary antibody, Biotin conjugate(Pierce Biotechnology)およびStreptavidin-Poly HRP80(Stereospecific Detection Technologies)をそれぞれ1時間順次反応させた。TMB One Component HRP Microwell Substrate(BioFX Laboratories)を基質として用いた発色反応を1 N-Sulfuric acid(Showa Chemical)で反応停止後、当該発色をマクロプレートリーダーにて450nmの吸光度を測定する方法によってマウス血漿中濃度が測定された。マウス血漿中濃度は検量線の吸光度から解析ソフトウェアSOFTmax PRO(Molecular Devices)を用いて算出された。この方法で測定された静脈内投与後の血漿中IgE抗体濃度推移を図3に示した。図中でクローン278は278-IgG1、XolairはXolair-IgG1と表記された。
国際公開第WO2011/122011号においてヒトIL-6レセプター (hsIL-6R)に対して結合する抗体とhsIL-6Rとを用いて同様の実験が実施されているが、その結果は本実施例の結果と異なっていた。国際公開第WO2011/122011号の実施例3においては、ヒトIL-6レセプター (hsIL-6R)に対して結合するが、その結合がpH依存的ではない抗体(H54L28-IgG1)のIgG1抗体を抗原と同時にノーマルマウス(C57BL/6Jマウス)に投与した場合には、抗原単独を投与した場合と比較して、抗原であるヒトIL-6レセプターの消失は加速されておらず、むしろ遅くなっていた。pH依存的に抗原に結合する抗体(Fv4-IgG1)を抗原と同時に投与した場合も、H54L28-IgG1を投与した場合と比較して抗原の消失は加速されているものの、抗原単独で投与した場合よりは抗原の消失は遅くなっていた。これは抗体を投与することにより、抗体が抗原に結合した結果、抗原が抗体とともに挙動することにより、抗体同様にFcRnを介してリサイクルされ、血中から消失されにくくなるためであると考えられる。
さらに、抗体がpH依存的に抗原であるIgEに結合する場合は、抗原と抗体の免疫複合体が細胞内に取り込まれた後に、エンドソーム内で抗原が解離される。その後、抗原は抗体とともにFcRnを介してリサイクルされず、解離した抗原はライソソーム内で分解される。その結果、抗体が抗原に対する結合がpH依存的ではない場合と比較して、抗原が速やかに消失させられたと考えられた。
(3-1)FcγR結合を低減させた抗ヒトIgE抗体の取得
次に、実施例2で観察された抗原の消失の加速が免疫複合体とFcγRとの相互作用に由来するものであるか検証するために、pH依存的にヒトIgEに結合する278-IgG1に対してマウスFcγRに対する結合が低減された改変体が作製された。マウスFcγRに対する結合を低減させることを目的に、278-IgG1のEUナンバリングで表される235位のLeuがArgに、239位のSerがLysに置換された278-F760(軽鎖配列番号:11)が作製された。これらの遺伝子をコードするDNA配列が当業者に公知の方法で動物発現用プラスミドに組み込まれた。当該プラスミドが導入された動物細胞を用いて、上述の方法で発現したこれらの抗体改変体の濃度が、その精製後に測定された。
(2-2)と同様の方法でノーマルマウスを用いて、マウスFcγRに対する結合を低減させた278-F760(軽鎖配列番号:11)を投与した際のIgEの消失効果を検証した。
(2-3)と同様の方法でノーマルマウスの血漿中hIgE濃度を測定した。この方法で測定された静脈内投与後の血漿中hIgE濃度推移を図4に示した。比較のために、図中には(2-3)で得られた278-IgG1投与時の血漿中hIgE濃度推移も示した。
(2-4)と同様の方法でノーマルマウスの血漿中抗hIgE抗体濃度を測定した。
この方法で測定された静脈内投与後の血漿中抗体濃度推移を図5に示した。比較のために、図中には(2-3)で得られた278-IgG1の血漿中抗体濃度推移も示した。
これらのことから、抗体を用いて、標的とする抗原を効率的に除去させるためには、複数の抗原と抗体か成る免疫複合体を形成させること、その抗体のFcγR結合が天然型IgG1抗体と同程度に維持していること、好ましくは抗体が抗原に対してpH依存的に結合すること(pH酸性条件下における抗原に対する結合が、中性条件下における結合よりも低下していること)が必要であることが考えられる。
FcgRIIbへの結合を天然型IgG1のそれと同程度に維持しつつ、活性型FcgRへの結合のみを選択的に低減した抗体を作製するにあたり、最も困難と考えられる課題はアミノ酸配列の相同性が極めて高いFcgRIIaをFcgRIIbと区別して、選択的に結合活性を低減させることであると考えられた。FcgRIIaには131番目のアミノ酸がArgである遺伝子多型とHisである遺伝子多型とが存在する。この残基に対応する残基がFcgRIIbではArgであるため、FcgRIIbはFcgRIIa R型により配列が類似している。そのため、FcgRIIaのうちでも、FcgRIIa R型をFcgRIIbと区別することが特に困難な課題であると考えられた。このFcgRIIaRに対するFcgRIIbへの結合選択性を向上させるための改変として、EUナンバリング238番目のProをAspに置換する改変がWO2012/115241において報告されている。本検討ではこの改変を含む抗体を鋳型にしてFcgRIIbへの結合を天然型IgG1と同程度に維持したまま他のFcgRへの結合を可能な限り減弱させた改変体の作製を目指した。
表7はIL6R-F652/IL6R-Lに対して、表8はIL6R-BF648/IL6R-Lに対して行った網羅的改変導入により見出された改変のFcgRIIaRおよびFcgRIIbへの相対的結合活性を示した。これは、各改変体のFcgRIIaRあるいはFcgRIIbに対する結合量の値を、IL6R-F652/IL6R-L、あるいはIL6R-BF648/IL6R-Lの各FcgRへの結合量の値で割り、100倍した値である。
〔式2〕
を利用して算出した値である。
活性型FcgRに対する結合を選択的に低減する効果のあった改変同士を組み合わせて検討した結果、FcgRIIbへの結合がG1dと比較して1.0倍以上であり、かつFcgRIIaRへの結合が最も低減されていたのは、P727であった。P727はFcgRIIbへの結合がG1dの1.1倍に維持され、FcgRIIaRへの結合が0.012倍に減弱されていた。またFcgRIaに対する結合がG1dの0.0014倍に、FcgRIIaHへの結合が0.007倍に、FcgRIIIaVへの結合が0.005倍に減弱されており、FcgRIIb以外の、活性型FcgRに対して極めて選択的に結合を減弱する優れた改変体であった。
次に、FcgRIIbへの結合を選択的に増強し、他のFcgRに対する結合は増強しないか、あるいは低減した改変体を鋳型にして、FcgRIIbも含む全FcgRに対する結合を低減させる改変を導入することで、FcgRIIbに対する結合はIgG1と同程度に維持する一方で、他のFcgRに対する結合がIgG1と比較して低減している改変体が得られることが期待された。
〔式2〕
を利用して算出した値である。
これらのFcgRIIbに対して選択的に結合増強した改変体に対し、全FcgRに対する結合を低減させる改変を導入することで、FcgRIIbに対する結合はIgG1と同程度に維持する一方で、他の活性型FcgRに対する結合がIgG1と比較して選択的に低減している改変体が得られると予測された。そこで、実際に、IL6R-BP568/IL6R-LおよびIL6R-BP489/IL6R-Lに導入された2種類のFcgRIIb選択的結合増強改変体を用いて、上述の予測通りの改変体が得られるかを確認した。具体的には上記2つのFcgRIIb選択的結合増強改変を導入した改変体を鋳型として用い、FcgRIIbに対する結合はIgG1と同程度に維持する一方で、他の活性型FcgRに対する結合がIgG1と比較して選択的に低減している改変体を得ることが可能であることを確認した。具体的には、IL6R-BP568/IL6R-LおよびIL6R-BP489/IL6R-Lに用いられたFcgRIIb結合増強改変をIL6R-G1dに導入することで、二種類のFcgRIIbに対する結合を選択的に増強する改変体IL6R-P577およびIL6R-P587が作製された。抗体L鎖としてはIL6R-L(配列番号:6)を共通に用い、それぞれのH鎖と共に参考実施例1の方法に従って抗体を発現、精製した。これら二つの改変体の各FcgRに対するKD値を表12に示す。
〔式2〕
を利用して算出した値である。
4-1、4-2において見出されたFcgRIIbへの結合をG1dと同程度に維持しつつ、FcgRIIaRへの結合が低減された改変を組み合わせ、より優れた改変体の作製を検討した。
表17に組み合わせ検討結果を示す。表中の相対的結合活性とは、IL6R-G1d/IL6R-LのKD値を各改変体のKD値で割った値であり、IL6R-G1d/IL6R-Lの各FcgRに対するKD値を1としたときの各改変体の相対的結合活性を示す。表中のKD値のうち、表中のKD値のうち、灰色で塗りつぶされた値は、FcgRの各改変体に対する結合が微弱であり、速度論的な解析では正しく解析できないと判断されたため、参考実施例2に記載の
〔式2〕
を利用して算出した値である。
CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity)はADCC同様、免疫反応を惹起するエフェクター機能である。ここまでで作製した改変体はいずれもFcgRIIb以外の活性型レセプターに対する結合活性が大きく低減されており、ADCC活性は大きく減弱されていると考えられる。しかしながら抗体と補体との結合部位は抗体とFcgRとの結合部位とは異なるため、補体に対する結合活性は維持されている可能性がある。そこで各改変体の補体への結合活性を評価し、補体への結合を低減させる改変を組み合わせることで、補体への結合についても減弱させた改変体を作製することとした。
これらのセンサーチップに目的の抗体をキャプチャーさせ、ランニングバッファーで希釈したhuman complement C1q(PROSPECあるいはCalbiochem)を相互作用させ、抗体に対する結合量を測定し、抗体間で比較した。ただし、C1qの結合量はキャプチャーした抗体の量に依存するため、各抗体のキャプチャー量でC1qの結合量を除した補正値で比較した。また、10 mM glycine-HCl、pH1.5を反応させることで、センサーチップにキャプチャーした抗体を洗浄し、センサーチップを再生して繰り返し用いた。
C1qへの結合を低減させる改変としては、先行文献(J. Immunol, 2003, 164, 4178-4184)に記載のK322Aを用いた。さらに、EUナンバリング322番目のLysを逆の電荷を有するGluに置換することでもC1qとの結合が低減されると期待されたため、K322Eについても検討した。また、IgG4はIgG1と比較してCDC活性が著しく低く、これはCH2ドメインC末端の配列の違いに起因することが報告されている(J. Exp. Med., 1991, 173, 1025-1028)。そこで、IgG1のEUナンバリング327番目のAlaをGlyに、330番目のAlaをSerに、331番目のProをSerとし、IgG4型の配列とすることでC1qへの結合を低減する検討についてもあわせて行った。

(6-1)Fc改変体の樹状細胞(DC)の活性化能の評価
これまでに、抗体のFc部分を介して細胞表面上に発現している活性型FcγR、特にFcγRIIaが架橋されることで、樹状細胞が活性化されることが報告されている (The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2005, 115, 2914-2923, The Journal of Immunology, 2003, 170, 3963-3970)。実施例4で作製した活性型FcγRに対する結合を選択的に低減したFc改変体について、抗体のFc部分を介した樹状細胞活性化能が低減されているかを検証した。
参考実施例1の方法に従い、XolairH-G1d (配列番号:18), XolairH-G1dのEUナンバリング238番目のProをAspに置換したXolairH-F648、XolairH-G1dのEUナンバリング238番目のProをAspに、298番目のSerをAlaに置換したXolairH-P600を作製した。抗体L鎖としてはXolairL-k0 (配列番号:7) を共通に用い、それぞれのH鎖と共に参考実施例1の方法に従って抗体を発現、精製した。各Fc改変体はそれぞれG1d,F648,P600と表記する。
ヒト全血と等量のRPMI培地を混合し、ficolで白血球層を分離する。白血球層から、Monocyte Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec)を用いてmonocyteを単離した。MonocyteをRPMI培地(10% FBS, 100ng/ml hIL-4 (R&D systems), 250ng/ml hGM-CSF (R&D systems))で5×105 cells/ mLに調製し、37度で7日間培養し、DCへ分化誘導した。
96well plate (maxisorp, nunc) にPBSで希釈した各Fc改変体(G1d,F648,P600)が含まれる溶液 (50ug/ml)またはPBSを100ul/wellで添加し、室温で1時間振盪した。PBSで3回洗浄し、DCを2×105 cells/ wellで播種した。37度で4時間インキュベートした後に細胞を回収し、RNeasy 96 Kit (QIAGEN) を用いてRNAを抽出した。
QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR(QIAGEN) を用い、GAPDHおよびIL-8のmRNAの発現量をreal-time PCR (Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real Time PCR System) により測定した。IL-8の発現量はGAPDHの発現量で補正した。この評価系において、ポジティブコントロールであるG1dを用いた場合には、IL-8の発現量が8.2に上がり、抗体溶液の代わりにPBSを加えた場合にはIL-8の発現量が0.03であることが確認された。
本評価系において、Fc改変体であるF648とP600をそれぞれ加えた場合の、DCのIL-8の発現量を比較したところ、図6の結果が得られた。
すなわち、FcγRIIaを含む活性型FcγRに対してより選択的に結合を低減した本発明のFc領域を含む抗原結合分子は、抗原の血漿中濃度を速やかに低減するという天然型IgG1の性質を損なうことなく、免疫細胞を活性化するという問題点を克服した優れた分子である可能性が示された。
(7-1)IgG1抗体の血小板活性化、凝集の背景
これまでにいくつかのIgG1抗体がFcγRとの相互作用を介して、血小板活性化を誘導し、副作用を呈することが報告されている。例えば、VEGFに対する抗体であるbevacizumabが投与された患者群では血栓塞栓症のリスクが上昇することが知られている(J. Natl. Cancer Inst. (2007) 99 (16), 1232-1239)。また、CD40リガンド(CD154)に対する抗体の臨床開発試験においても同様に血栓塞栓症が観察され、臨床試験が中止された(Arthritis. Rheum. (2003) 48 (3), 719-727.)。血小板の細胞上には抑制型FcγレセプターであるFcγRIIbではなく活性型FcγレセプターであるFcγRIIaが発現している(J. Exp. Med. (2006) 203 (9), 2157-2164)が、動物モデルなどを使ったその後の研究により、投与されたいずれの抗体も血小板上のFcγRIIaに対する結合を介して血小板が凝集し、その結果血栓を形成することが示唆されている(J. Thromb. Haemost. (2009) 7 (1), 171-181、 J. Immunol. (2010) 185 (3), 1577-1583)。自己免疫疾患の一つである全身性エリテマトーデスの患者においてはFcγRIIa依存的な機構によって血小板が活性化し、血小板の活性化が重症度と相関すると報告されている(Sci. Transl. Med. (2010) 2 (47), 47-63)。このように天然に存在するIgG1抗体であっても、血小板を活性化し、重篤な副作用を呈する可能性がある。
血小板の活性化は血小板上に発現するFcγRIIaとIgG1のFcとの相互作用に由来するとの報告があることから、IgG1のFcγRIIaに対する結合を低減した抗体を用いることにより、この血小板活性化が回避できるかを検証した。
参考実施例2の方法を用いて、CD40リガンドに対するIgG1抗体である5c8-G1d(重鎖配列番号:8、軽鎖配列番号:9)を用意した。次に、参考実施例2の方法を用いて、FcγRIIaに対する結合を低減させた既存の技術である5c8-G1dのFc領域におけるEUナンバリングで表される238位のProがAspに置換されたFc 領域を含む抗体5c8-F648(軽鎖配列番号:9)を用意した。加えて、参考実施例2の方法を用いて、既存技術よりもさらにFcγRIIaに対する結合を低減させた5c8-G1dのFc領域におけるEUナンバリングで表される238位のProがGluに、298位のSerがAlaに置換されたFc 領域を含む抗体5c8-P600(軽鎖配列番号:9)を用意した。5c8-G1d、5c8-F648、5c8-P600はそれぞれ以下でG1d、F648、P600として示した。これらのFc改変体の血小板凝集能が評価された。
このアッセイ系を用いてF648およびP600の血小板活性化能を比較した。各Fc改変体添加時のCD62p発現の結果を図7に、活性化インテグリン発現の結果を図8に示した。ADP刺激により血小板膜表面に発現誘導されるCD62p及び活性型インテグリンは、F648を加えた場合では発現の亢進が観察されたが、P600を加えた場合では観察されなかった。
すなわち、FcγRIIaに対してより選択的に結合を低減した本発明のFc領域を含む抗原結合分子は、抗原の血漿中濃度を速やかに低減するという天然型IgG1の性質を損なうことなく、血小板を活性化するという問題点を克服した優れた分子である可能性が示された。

FcγRの細胞外ドメインを以下の方法で調製した。まずFcγRの細胞外ドメインの遺伝子の合成を当業者公知の方法で実施した。その際、各FcγRの配列はNCBIに登録されている情報に基づき作製した。具体的には、FcγRIについてはNCBIのアクセッション番号NM_000566.3の配列、FcγRIIaについてはNCBIのアクセッション番号NM_001136219.1の配列、FcγRIIbについてはNCBIのアクセッション番号NM_004001.3の配列、FcγRIIIaについてはNCBIのアクセッション番号NM_001127593.1の配列、FcγRIIIbについてはNCBIのアクセッション番号NM_000570.3の配列に基づいて作製し、C末端にHisタグを付加した。またFcγRIIa、FcγRIIIa、FcγRIIIbについては多型が知られているが、多型部位についてはFcγRIIaについてはJ. Exp. Med., 1990, 172: 19-25、FcγRIIIaについてはJ. Clin. Invest., 1997, 100 (5): 1059-1070, FcγRIIIbについてはJ. Clin. Invest., 1989, 84, 1688-1691を参考にして作製した。

この式にRmax、RI、Cの値を代入することで、KDを算出することが可能である。RI、Cについては測定結果のセンサーグラム、測定条件から値を求めることができる。Rmaxの算出については、以下の方法にしたがった。その測定回に同時に評価した比較対象となる相互作用が十分強い抗体について、上記の1:1 Langmuir binding modelでglobal fittingさせた際に得られたRmaxの値を、比較対象となる抗体のセンサーチップへのキャプチャー量で除し、評価したい改変抗体のキャプチャー量で乗じて得られた値をRmaxとした。
(3-1)ヒトIgA(hIgA)の調製
抗原であるヒトIgA(以下hIgAとも呼ばれる)は以下のような組換え技術を用いて調製された。H (WT)-IgA1(配列番号:19)とL (WT)(配列番号:20)を含む組み組換えベクターを含む宿主細胞を培養することによって発現されたhIgAが、当業者公知の方法によってイオン交換クロマトグラフィーおよびゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーを用いて精製された。
国際公開WO2009/125825に記載されているH54/L28-IgG1はヒト化抗IL-6レセプター抗体であり、Fv4-IgG1は、H54/L28-IgG1に対して可溶型ヒトIL-6レセプターに対してpH依存的に結合する(中性条件下において結合し、酸性条件下において解離する)特性を有するヒト化抗IL-6レセプター抗体である。国際公開WO2009/125825に記載されているマウスのin vivo試験では、H54/L28-IgG1と抗原である可溶型ヒトIL-6レセプターの混合物を投与した群と比較して、Fv4-IgG1と抗原である可溶型ヒトIL-6レセプターの混合物を投与した群において、可溶型ヒトIL-6レセプターの消失が大幅に加速されていることが示された。
GA1-IgG1(重鎖配列番号:21、軽鎖配列番号:22)、GA2-IgG1(重鎖配列番号:23、軽鎖配列番号:24)はhIgAに結合する抗体である。GA1-IgG1(重鎖配列番号:21、軽鎖配列番号:22)およびGA2-IgG1(重鎖配列番号:23、軽鎖配列番号:24)をコードするDNA配列が動物細胞発現用プラスミドに当業者公知の方法で組み込まれた。抗体の発現は以下の方法を用いて行われた。ヒト胎児腎細胞由来FreeStyle 293-F株(Invitrogen)をFreeStyle 293 Expression Medium培地(Invitrogen)に懸濁させた細胞懸濁液が、1.33 x 106個/mLの細胞密度で6 well plateの各ウェルへ3 mLずつ播種された。次に、リポフェクション法により調製されたプラスミドが細胞へ導入された。当該細胞はCO2インキュベーター(37℃、8%CO2, 90 rpm)で4日間培養され、単離されたその培養上清から、rProtein A SepharoseTM Fast Flow(Amersham Biosciences)を用いて当業者公知の方法で抗体が精製された。精製された抗体溶液の吸光度(波長:280nm)が、分光光度計を用いて測定された。得られた測定値からPACE法によって算出された吸光係数を用いて抗体濃度が算出された(Protein Science (1995) 4, 2411-2423)。
Biacore T200(GE Healthcare)を用いて、(1-3)で単離された抗体のhIgA結合活性(解離定数KD (M))が評価された。ランニングバッファーとして3μMまたは1.2 mM CaCl2を含有する0.05% tween20、20 mmol/L ACES、150 mmol/L NaCl(pH7.4またはpH5.8)、または0.1μMもしくは10 mM CaCl2を含有する0.05% tween20、20 mmol/L ACES、150 mmol/L NaCl、pH8.0を用いて測定が行われた。
さらに、血漿中からの抗原(hIgA)の消失をさらに増大させるために、カルシウム依存的にhIgAに結合するGA2-IgG1に対してマウスFcRnに対するpH7.4における結合を増強するためにN434Wのアミノ酸置換を導入したGA2-N434W(軽鎖配列番号:24)を作製した。また、GA2-IgG1に対してFcγRに対する結合を欠損させるためにL235R、S239Kのアミノ酸置換を導入したGA2-FcγR(-)(軽鎖配列番号:24)を作製した。GA2-N434W(軽鎖配列番号:24)およびGA2-FcγR(-)(軽鎖配列番号:24)をコードするDNA配列が当業者に公知の方法で組み込まれた動物発現用プラスミドを用いて、上述の方法で発現したこれらの抗体改変体の濃度が、精製後に測定された。GA2-FcγR(-)の各種マウスFcγR(mFcγRI、mFcγRII、mFcγRIII、mFcγRIV)に対する結合を評価した結果、いずれのレセプターに対しても結合が認められなかった。
次に、血漿中からの抗原(hIgA)の消失をさらに増大させることを目的に、カルシウム依存的にhIgAに結合するGA2-IgG1に対してマウスFcγRに対する結合を増強するためにGA2-IgG1のEUナンバリングで表される328位のLeuがTyrに置換されたGA2-F1087が作製された。GA2-F1087(軽鎖配列番号:24)をコードするDNA配列が当業者に公知の方法で組み込まれた動物発現用プラスミドを用いて、上述の方法で発現したこれらの抗体改変体の濃度が、精製後に測定された。この改変を含む抗体は参考実施例5に示されるように、マウスFcγRに対する結合が大幅に増強していた。
(6-1)ノーマルマウスが用いられたin vivo試験
ノーマルマウス(C57BL/6J mouse、Charles River Japan)に対してhIgA(ヒトIgA:参考実施例(3-1)にて作製)が単独で投与された、またはhIgAおよび抗hIgA抗体が同時に投与された後の、hIgAおよび抗hIgA抗体の体内動態が評価された。hIgA溶液(80μg/mL)、または、hIgAと抗hIgA抗体の混合溶液が尾静脈に10 mL/kgの用量で単回投与された。抗hIgA抗体としては、上述のGA2-IgG1およびGA2-F1087が使用された。
マウス血漿中の抗hIgA抗体濃度はELISA法にて測定された。まずAnti-Human IgG(γ-chain specific) F(ab')2 Fragment of Antibody(SIGMA)がその各ウェルに分注されたNunc-Immuno Plate, MaxiSorp(Nalge nunc International)を4℃で1晩静置することによってAnti-Human IgG固相化プレートが作成された。血漿中濃度の標準液として0.5、0.25、0.125、0.0625、0.03125、0.01563、0.007813μg/mLに調製された抗hIgA抗体の検量線試料と100倍以上希釈されたマウス血漿測定試料が、前記のAnti-Human IgG固相化プレートに分注された後、当該プレートが25℃で1時間インキュベーションされた。その後、Goat Anti-Human IgG (γ chain specific) Biotin (BIOT) Conjugate(Southern Biotechnology Associats Inc.)が前記プレートの各ウェルに分注された後、当該プレートを25℃で1時間反応させた。さらに、Streptavidin-PolyHRP80(Stereospecific Detection Technologies)が前記プレートの各ウェルに分注された後、当該プレートを25℃で1時間反応させた。TMB One Component HRP Microwell Substrate(BioFX Laboratories)を基質として用いた発色反応が1N-Sulfuric acid(Showa Chemical)を用いて停止された後、マイクロプレートリーダーを用いて各ウェルの反応液の450 nmの吸光度が測定された。マウス血漿中の抗hIgA抗体濃度は検量線の吸光度から解析ソフトウェアSOFTmax PRO(Molecular Devices)を用いて算出された。この方法で測定された静脈内投与後のノーマルマウスにおけるGA2-IgG1およびGA2-F1087の血漿中抗体濃度推移を図12に示した。その結果、hIgAと強いpHおよびCa依存的な結合活性を有するクローンGA2-IgG1はFcγRとの結合を増強したとしても、その血漿中抗体濃度が大きく低下しないことが確認された。
マウスの血漿中hIgA濃度はELISA法にて測定された。まずGoat anti-Human IgA Antibody(BETHYL)がその各ウェルに分注されたNunc-Immuno Plate, MaxiSoup(Nalge nunc International)を4℃で1晩静置することによってAnti-Human IgA固相化プレートが作成された。血漿中濃度の標準液として0.4、0.2、0.1、0.05、0.025、0.0125、0.00625μg/mLに調製されたhIgAの検量線試料が用いられた。検量線試料および100倍以上希釈されたマウス血漿測定試料の各100μLに対し、500ng/mLhsIL6Rを200μL加えて混合し、室温で1時間静置した。その後、混合溶液100μLが分注された前記のAnti-Human IgA固相化プレートプレートは室温で1時間静置された。次に、Biotinylated Anti-human IL-6 R Antibody(R&D)が前記プレートの各ウェルに分注された後、当該プレートを室温で1時間反応させた。更にStreptavidin-PolyHRP80(Stereospecific Detection Technologies)が前記プレートの各ウェルに分注された後、当該プレートを室温で1時間反応させた。TMB One Component HRP Microwell Substrate(BioFX Laboratories)を基質として用いた発色反応が1N-Sulfuric acid(Showa Chemical)を用いて停止された後、マイクロプレートリーダーを用いて各ウェルの反応液の450 nmの吸光度が測定された。マウス血漿中濃度は検量線の吸光度から解析ソフトウェアSOFTmax PRO(Molecular Devices)を用いて算出された。この方法で測定した静脈内投与後のノーマルマウスにおける血漿中hIgA濃度推移を図13に示した。

VH3-mIgG1、VH3-mIgG1-mF44あるいはVH3-mIgG1-mF46を重鎖として含み、L (WT)-CK(配列番号:27)を軽鎖として含むVH3/L (WT)-mIgG1、VH3/L (WT)-mIgG1-mF44あるいはVH3/L (WT)-mIgG1-mF46が参考実施例1の方法で作製された。これらの抗体のマウスFcγRに対する結合活性が、参考実施例2の方法で評価された。その結果を表22に示した。また、それぞれの改変体のマウスFcγRに対する結合活性が、改変を加える前のmIgG1に比較して何倍増強しているかを表23に示した。なお、表中では、VH3/L (WT)-mIgG1はmIgG1、VH3/L (WT)-mIgG1-mF44はmF44、VH3/L (WT)-mIgG1-mF46はmF46と表記した。
抗ヒトIL-6レセプター抗体としてFv4-mIgG1、Fv4-mIgG1-mF44あるいはFv4-mIgG1mF46が投与されたノーマルマウスの血漿中可溶型IL-6レセプターの消失効果が以下のように検証された。
(8-1)FcγRIIbに対する結合活性を選択的に増強した抗体の抗原消失効果
FcγRIII欠損マウス(B6.129P2-FcgrR3tm1Sjv/J mouse, Jackson Laboratories)は、マウスFcγRI、マウスFcγRIIb、マウスFcγRIVを発現しているが、マウスFcγRIIIを発現しないマウスである。一方、Fc受容体γ鎖欠損マウス(Fcer1g mouse, Taconic, Cell (1994) 76, 519-529)は、マウスFcγRIIbのみを発現し、マウスFcγRI、マウスFcγRIII、マウスFcγRIVを発現しないマウスである。
抗ヒトIL-6レセプター抗体としてFv4-mIgG1、Fv4-mIgG1-mF44あるいはFv4-mIgG1-mF46が投与されたFcγRIII欠損マウスの血漿中可溶型IL-6レセプターの消失効果が、実施例5の方法と同様に検証された。当該マウスの血漿中の可溶型ヒトIL-6レセプター濃度は、上記参考実施例(7-4)の方法で測定された。その結果を図15に示した。
