Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of immunology, and more specifically, to an anti-CD3 bispecific antibody that mediates T cell killing, and the use of such antibodies, especially in the treatment of cancer, autoimmunity, inflammatory diseases, and immune exhaustion. Different uses.
  • the body eliminates aliens through innate immunity and adaptive immunity to maintain the stability of the internal environment, while adaptive immunity performs its immune function through lymphocyte B cells and T cells.
  • B lymphocytes One of the roles of B lymphocytes is to directly kill target cells through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
  • ADCC antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
  • Many membrane molecules on the surface of B cells such as mIg, CD79a / CD79b, BCR (B cell receptor), CD19, CD40, etc., play an important role in the process of B cell recognition of antigens, activation, proliferation, and secretion of antibodies.
  • BCR is especially necessary for the specific activation of B cell antigens.
  • CTL is the most potent effector cell of the immune system, which is produced by the proliferation and differentiation of the initial T cells that are effectively activated after being stimulated by the antigen.
  • the initial T cell recognition antigen needs to be presented by APC processing.

  • This systemic activation of T cells will be accompanied by a large amount of cytokine release, leading to serious adverse reactions during therapeutic application. Therefore, the development of such anti-CD3 bispecific antibodies that mediate T cell killing requires only limited activation of immune effector cells within target cells.

针对CD19和CD3的同源二聚体型双特异性抗体及其制备方法和用途

技术领域
本发明涉及免疫学领域,更具体地,涉及一种介导T细胞杀伤的抗CD3双特异性抗体,以及这类抗体的用途,特别是其在治疗癌症、自身免疫、炎症性疾病以及免疫排异中的用途。
背景技术
机体通过固有免疫和适应性免疫排除异己以维持内环境稳定,而适应性免疫通过淋巴细胞B细胞和T细胞来执行其免疫功能。B淋巴细胞的作用之一是通过抗体依赖细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC)直接杀伤靶细胞。B细胞表面的许多膜分子,如mIg,CD79a/CD79b,BCR(B细胞受体),CD19,CD40等在B细胞识别抗原、活化、增殖以及分泌抗体等过程中发挥重要作用。BCR尤其是B细胞抗原特异性激活所必须的,其快速激活一系列激酶并启动一个复杂“信号体”的形成,继而激活下游诸如控制B细胞生长、存活和分化等途径。因此,BCR信号的稳态失衡及B细胞的异常活化可能导致相关疾病的产生。由于许多跨膜蛋白质(例如CD19、CD20和CD22)是调节BCR信号转导的特定元件,因而成为B细胞功能性疾病治疗的理想靶标。
CTL是免疫系统最有力的效应细胞,由经抗原刺激后被有效活化的初始T细胞增殖分化后产生。初始T细胞识别抗原需要通过APC的加工提呈,分别分布于两者表面的T细胞受体TCR-CD3复合物与MHC-抗原复合物的结合构成有效激活T细胞的第一信号。CD3分子是表达于所有成熟T淋巴细胞表面的蛋白,通过与TCR结合形成TCR-CD3复合物而启动对抗原刺激的体液免疫应答,因此成为介导免疫细胞(如T细胞,NK细胞等)杀伤型双特异性抗体中应用最多的效应细胞表面触发分子。CD3可以募集具有杀伤作用的CTL细胞,靶向CD3的双功能抗体通过分别结合T细胞表面CD3分子和靶细胞表面抗原,使CTL与靶细胞直接接触,进而激活T细胞并诱导其有效杀伤靶细胞。但是,第一代应用于临床的抗CD3单克隆抗体OKT3(Kung P等,Science,206:347-349,1979),由于T细胞被过度激活而大量释放炎症因子,在临床上会引起严重的“细胞因子风暴综合症”(Hirsch R等,J.Immunol.,142:737-743,1989)。因而,开发靶向CD3的双功能抗体,如何削弱或避免过度的细胞因子风暴是首要考虑的问题。
一直以来,构建出具有正确重链和轻链组合的产物是双特异性抗体开发中最大的挑战。其中一类包含Fc结构域的双特异性抗体,因为FcRn介导的细胞内吞和再循环过程而具有更长的半衰期;同时保留了Fc 介导的部分或全部效应子功能,如ADCC、补体依赖细胞毒性(CDC)和抗体依赖细胞吞噬(ADCP)作用;并且具有更好的溶解性和稳定性,因而在双抗药物开发中得到广泛应用,包括Triomabs、kih IgG、Crossmab、ortho-Fab IgG、DVD IgG、IgG scFv、scFv2-Fc等。目前的IgG样抗CD3双特异性抗体设计广泛采用单价形式,主要是由于二价抗CD3双特异性抗体很容易导致过度激活而诱发T细胞凋亡和大量细胞因子瞬时释放(Kuhn C等,Immunotherapy,8:889-906,2016),甚至可能引发非抗原依赖性激活T细胞反应而打破免疫平衡。但是,通常采用杂交瘤细胞表达此类具有非对称结构的异源二聚体时会同时产生许多密切相关却难以去除的非功能性错配副产物。尽管“knobs-into-holes”及其衍生技术的运用部分解决了异源二聚体型双抗分子的重链间错配的问题,然而“重链/轻链错配”又带来了另一个挑战。一种结合“CrossMab+KiH”的策略可以将其错配减到最低程度,但却需要针对两个抗体序列进行大量的突变等基因工程改造,无法达到简单、通用的目的。
另外,类IgG结构的抗CD3双特异性抗体因具有FcγR结合能力,可能导致无限制的T细胞激活,且这种活化的T细胞发现于任何表达FcγR的组织内(例如在造血、淋巴和网状内皮系统内),即使其未与靶抗原结合。这种T细胞的全身性激活,将伴随着细胞因子的大量释放,导致治疗应用过程中的严重不良反应。因此,开发这类介导T细胞杀伤的抗CD3双特异性抗体仅需要免疫效应细胞在靶细胞内的限制性激活。
CD19(分化簇19)又称B4或Leu-12,是B淋巴细胞表面特异标记蛋白,表达于除干细胞和浆细胞外人类B淋巴细胞发育的各个阶段。CD19与CD21(CD2),CD81(TAPA-1)形成B细胞共受体复合物,通过调节B细胞受体(B cell recertor,BCR)依赖和非依赖信号建立B细胞信号阈值,对B细胞增殖分化及信号转导起重要调控作用。CD19复合物对B细胞激活及增殖的调控是通过交联另外两种B细胞信号转导复合物来完成的,根据二者交联的量发挥相应的增强或抑制作用。CD19抗原广泛表达于B淋巴细胞恶性肿瘤,包括例如,急/慢性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL/CLL)、非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)、黑色素瘤、骨髓瘤(Nicholson IC等,Mol.Immun.,34:1157-1165,1997;Nigel PM等,eCancer Med.Sci.,11:720,2017;Grossbard ML等,Br.J.Haematol.,102:509-15,1998),此外被发现与免疫系统疾病(如类风湿性关节炎、多发性硬化症)(Kunz M等,Mediators Inflamm.,2009;2009:979258.doi:10.1155/2009/979258)和免疫排异(US 926,0530)相关,且仅暴露于异常细胞表面,可作为理想靶标用于相关疾病的诊断、预后判断及治疗。因此,开发在产品半衰期、稳定性、安全性和可生产性方面具有优越性能的抗CD19/CD3双特异性抗体将会在许多依赖于B细胞活化的疾病(例如,自身免疫或恶性肿瘤)以及移植排异中具有治疗益处。

在本发明的一优选实施例中,所述连接肽的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:49所示,其柔性肽的氨基酸组成为G 2(GGGGS) 3,和其刚性肽的氨基酸组成为SSSSKAPPPS(即CTP 1)。
其中,第二单链Fv针对免疫效应细胞抗原CD3具有特异性,其所包含的VH结构域和VL结构域通过连接肽(L3)连接,所述VH、L3和VL以VH-L3-VL或VL-L3-VH的顺序排列,且所述连接肽L3的氨基酸序列为(GGGGX) n,X包含Ser或Ala,X优选Ser;n为1-5的自然数,n优选3;
优选地,所述双特异性抗体的第二单链Fv在体外FACS结合分析测定中以大于约10nM,或大于20nM,或大于40nM,或大于约50nM的EC 50值结合于效应细胞;更优选地,所述双特异性抗体的第二单链Fv不仅能与人CD3结合,还可与食蟹猴或恒河猴的CD3特异性结合。在本发明的一优选实施例中,所述双特异性抗体以15.69nM的EC 50值与效应细胞特异性结合。
优选地,所述第二单链Fv特异性结合CD3,其VH结构域包含的HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3分别如SEQ ID NO:40、41和42所示,或与上述序列中的任何基本上相同(例如至少80%、85%、90%、92%、95%、97%、98%、99%或更高度相似的或具有一个或更多个氨基酸取代(例如保守性取代))的序列;和其VL结构域包含的LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3分别如SEQ ID NO:43、44和45所示,或与上述序列中的任何基本上相同(例如至少80%、85%、90%、92%、95%、97%、98%、99%或更高度相似的或具有一个或更多个氨基酸取代(例如保守性取代))的序列。
更优选地,所述第二单链Fv特异性结合CD3,其VH结构域包含如SEQ ID NO:46所示的氨基酸序列,或与上述序列中的任何基本上相同(例如至少80%、85%、90%、92%、95%、97%、98%、99%或更高度相似的或具有一个或更多个氨基酸取代(例如保守性取代))的序列;和其VL结构域包含如SEQ ID NO:47所示的氨基酸序列,或与上述序列中的任何基本上相同(例如至少80%、85%、90%、92%、95%、97%、98%、99%或更高度相似的或具有一个或更多个氨基酸取代(例如保守性取代))的序列。
其中,本发明所述Fc片段直接或通过连接肽L4与第二单链Fv相连,且所述连接肽L4包含1-20个氨 基酸,并优选自下列几种氨基酸:Gly(G)、Ser(S)、Ala(A)和Thr(T);较优地地,所述连接肽L4选自Gly(G)和Ser(S);更优选地,所述连接肽L4组成为(GGGGS)n,n=1,2,3或4。本发明的一优选实施例中,所述Fc片段与第二单链Fv直接相连。
另一方面,本发明所述Fc片段包含来源于人免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的铰链区、CH2和CH3结构域,例如,在某些实施方案中,本发明所述Fc片段来源于例如选自人IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgM、IgA1、IgA2、IgD和IgE的重链恒定区;特别地选自例如人IgG1、IgG2、IgG3和IgG4的重链恒定区,更特别地选自人IgG1或IgG4的重链恒定区;并且,所述Fc片段与其所源自的天然序列相比具有一个或多个氨基酸的置换、缺失或添加(例如,至多20个、至多15个、至多10个、或至多5个置换、缺失或添加)。
在一些优选实施方案中,所述Fc片段被改变,例如被突变,以修饰本发明所述双特异性抗体分子的性质(例如改变下列中的一个或更多个特性:Fc受体结合、抗体糖基化、效应细胞功能或补体功能)。
例如,本发明提供的双特异性抗体包含具有改变的效应子功能(例如降低或消除)的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。抗体的Fc区介导几种重要的效应子功能,例如ADCC、ADCP、CDC等。通过替换抗体的Fc区中的氨基酸残基,以改变抗体对效应子配体(如FcγR或补体C1q)的亲和力,从而改变效应子功能的方法是本领域已知的(参见,例如EP 388,151A1;US 564,8260;US 562,4821;Natsume A等,Cancer Res.,68:3863-3872,2008;Idusogie EE等,J.Immunol.,166:2571-2575,2001;Lazar GA等,PNAS,103:4005-4010,2006;Shields RL等,JBC,276:6591-6604,2001;Stavenhagen JB等,Cancer Res.,67:8882-8890,2007;Stavenhagen JB等,Advan.Enzyme.Regul.,48:152-164,2008;Alegre ML等,J.Immunol.,148:3461-3468,1992;和Kaneko E等,Biodrugs,25:1-11,2011)。在本发明一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸L235(EU编号)进行修饰以改变Fc受体相互作用,例如L235E或L235A。在另一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸234和235同时进行修饰,例如L234A和L235A(L234A/L235A)(EU编号)。
例如,本发明提供的双特异性抗体可包含具有延长的循环半衰期的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。研究发现M252Y/S254T/T256E、M428L/N434S或者T250Q/M428L都能够延长抗体在灵长类动物中的半衰期。更多的与新生儿受体(FcRn)结合亲和力增强的Fc变体所包含突变位点可以参见中国发明专利CN 201280066663.2、US 2005/0014934A1、WO 97/43316、US 5,869,046、US 5,747,03、WO 96/32478。在本发明一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸M428(EU编号)进行修饰以增强FcRn受体的结合亲和力,例如M428L。在另一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸250和428(EU编号)同时进行修饰,例如T250Q和M428L(T250Q/M428L)。
例如,本发明提供的双特异性抗体也可包含具有可以降低或消除Fc糖基化的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。例如,Fc变体包含正常存在于氨基酸位点297(EU编号)处的N-连接聚糖降低的糖基化。N297位糖基化对IgG的活性有很大影响,如果该位点糖基化被移除,则会影响IgG分子CH2上半部分的构象, 从而丧失对FcγRs的结合能力,影响抗体相关的生物活性。在本发明的一些优选实施例中,对人IgG恒定区上的氨基酸N297(EU编号)进行修饰以避免抗体的糖基化,例如N297A。
例如,本发明提供的双特异性抗体也可包含具有消除电荷异质性的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。在工程细胞表达过程中发生的多种翻译后修饰会都会引起单克隆抗体的电荷异质性,而IgG抗体C末端赖氨酸的不均一性是其中的一个主要原因,重链C端的赖氨酸K可能在抗体生产过程中出现一定比例的缺失,从而造成电荷异质性,从而影响抗体的稳定性、有效性、免疫原性或药代动力学。在本发明的一些优选实施例中,将IgG抗体C末端的K447(EU编号)去除或缺失,以消除抗体的电荷异质性,提高表达产物的均一性。
本发明表1-3中示例性的例举了一些优选的Fc片段的氨基酸序列。与包含野生型人IgG Fc区的双特异性抗体相比,本发明提供的双特异性抗体所包含的Fc片段对人FcγRs(FcγRI、FcγRIIa或FcγRIIIa)和C1q的至少一种显示出降低的亲和力,具有减少的效应细胞功能或补体功能。例如,在本发明的一优选实施例中,双特异性抗体包含的Fc片段来自人IgG1,且具有L234A和L235A取代(L234A/L235A),显示出对FcγRI降低的结合能力;此外,本发明提供的双特异性抗体包含的所述Fc片段还可以包含具有使其它一种或几种特性(例如,与FcRn受体结合能力、抗体糖基化或抗体电荷异质性等)改变的氨基酸取代。例如,在本发明的一优选实施例中,所述Fc片段的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:54所示,它与其所源自的天然序列相比具有L234A/L235A/T250Q/N297A/P331S/M428L的氨基酸置换或取代,且K447被缺失或删除。

本发明公开的技术方案,取得了有益的技术效果,概况如下:
1、本发明提供的双特异性抗体包含的抗-TAA scFv位于双抗的N端,空间构像发生变化,与TAA的结合能力在某些条件下可能减弱,尤其不易结合弱表达或低表达TAA的正常细胞,减少了非特异性杀伤,但对过表达或高表达TAA的细胞的结合特异性没有显著下降,表现出良好的体内杀伤效果。由此亦知,当靶抗原仅表达于肿瘤细胞上或本发明所述双特异性抗体仅与过表达靶抗原的肿瘤细胞特异性结合时,使得免疫效应细胞限制性仅在靶细胞组织内被激活,这使得所述双特异性抗体对正常细胞的非特异性杀伤以及细胞因子的伴随释放能够被降至最低,减小其在临床治疗中的毒副作用。
2、本发明提供的双特异性抗体选择的抗-CD3 scFv以微弱的结合亲和力(EC 50值大于约大于约10nM,或大于20nM,或大于40nM,或大于约50nM)与效应细胞特异性结合,此外因被包埋在抗-TAA scFv和Fc之间,且位于其N端的连接肽L3包含的CTP刚性肽和位于其C端的Fc片段,都部分“遮盖”或“屏蔽”了抗-CD3 scFv的抗原结合域,这种位阻效应使其以更微弱的结合亲和力(例如以大于1μM)与CD3结合,这使其对T细胞的活化刺激能力减弱,因而限制了细胞因子的过度释放,因而具有更高的安全性;另外,本发明采用的抗-CD3 scFv可同时结合人和食蟹猴和/或恒河猴的CD3天然抗原,使其临床前毒理学评价不需要再构建替代分子,且获得的有效剂量、毒性剂量和毒副反应更客观、准确,可以直接进行临床剂量的转换,降低临床研究的风险。再者,本发明提供的双特异性抗体创造性地采用了二价抗-CD3 scFv, 这使得所述双特异性抗体在构型设计上规避了现有技术普遍所采用的异源二聚体型(所包含的抗-CD3 scFv为单价)的非对称结构,因而也不存在重链间错配的问题,简化了下游纯化步骤;并且出人意料地,在体外细胞结合试验中未观察到抗-CD3 scFv与T细胞的非特异性结合,且细胞激活程度(IL-2等细胞因子的释放)控制在安全、有效的范围内,即本发明采用的二价抗-CD3 scFv结构并未引起非抗原依赖地诱导T细胞的过度活化,而对其他包含二价抗-CD3结构域的双特异性抗体而言,T细胞被不可控地过度激活是普遍存在的,因而抗-CD3双特异性抗体在设计时一般避免引入二价抗-CD3结构。
3、本发明提供的双特异性抗体所包含的经修饰的Fc片段不具有FcγR结合能力,避免了由FcγR所介导的T细胞全身性激活,因而允许免疫效应细胞限制性地仅在靶细胞组织内被激活。
4、本发明提供的双特异性抗体为同源二聚体型,不存在重链及轻链错配的问题,下游生产工艺稳定,纯化步骤简单高效,表达产物均一,且其理化和体内稳定性都显著提高。
5、本发明提供的双特异性抗体因包含Fc片段,而具有较长的体内循环半衰期。

在本发明中,除非另有说明,否则本文中使用的科学和技术名词具有本领域技术人员所通常理解的含义。本发明使用的抗体或其片段可单独或联合使用本领域已知的常规技术,例如氨基酸缺失、插入、取代、增加、和/或重组以及/或其他修饰方法作进一步修饰。根据一种抗体的氨基酸序列在其DNA序列中引入这种修饰的方法对本领域技术人员来说是众所周知的;见例如,Sambrook,分子克隆:实验手册,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory(1989)N.Y.。所指的修饰优选在核酸水平上进行。同时,为了更好地理解本发明,下面提供相关术语的定义和解释。
“CD19”是分化簇19多肽,是单通道I型跨膜糖蛋白,其含有两个Ig样C2型(免疫球蛋白样)结构域和一个相对较大的胞质尾,在哺乳动物物种中高度保守。CD19在几乎所有的B谱系细胞中和滤泡细胞中表达,对于B淋巴细胞分化是必需的,并且作为B细胞关键共受体与CD21、CD81和CD225一起发挥作用。因此,CD19常被用作B淋巴细胞发育、B细胞淋巴瘤以及B淋巴细胞白血病的生物诊断标志。此外,CD19中的突变与严重的免疫缺陷综合症相关。针对CD19靶点的适应症还包括其他现有技术中发现的以及未来发现的相关疾病或病症。该术语还包括CD19的任何变体、同工型、衍生物和物种同源物,其由细胞-包括肿瘤细胞-天然地表达,或由以CD19基因或cDNA转染的细胞表达。
CD3分子是T细胞膜上的重要分化抗原,是成熟T细胞的特征性标志,由6条肽链组成,以非共价键与T细胞抗原受体(TCR)组成TCR-CD3复合体,不仅参与TCR-CD3复合体的胞浆内组装,而且通过各多肽链胞浆区的免疫受体酪氨酸活化基序(Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motif,ITAM)传递抗原刺激信号。CD3分子的主要功能为:稳定TCR结构,传递T细胞活化信号,当TCR特异性识别并结合抗原后,CD3参与将信号转导到T细胞胞浆内,作为诱导T细胞活化的第一信号,在T细胞抗原识别和免疫应答产生过程中具有极其重要的作用。
“CD3”指的是作为T细胞受体复合物的一部分,由三个不同的链CD3ε,CD3δ和CD3γ组成。CD3在T细胞上通过例如抗CD3抗体对其的固定作用而产生的集中(clustering),导致T细胞的活化,与T细胞受体介导的活化类似,但是不依赖于TCR克隆的特异性。绝大多数抗CD3抗体识别CD3ε链。本发明的特异性识别T细胞表面受体CD3的第二功能域不受具体的限制,只要其能够特异性地识别CD3,例如但不限于在下列专利中提到的CD3抗体:US 7,994,289;US 6,750,325;US 6,706,265;US 5,968,509;US 8,076,459;US 7,728,114;US20100183615。优选地,本发明中使用的抗人CD3抗体与食蟹猴和/或恒河猴具有交叉反应 性,例如但不限于下列专利中提到的抗人CD3抗体:WO 2016130726,US 20050176028,WO 2007042261或WO 2008119565。该术语还包括任何CD3变体、同工型、衍生物和物种同源物,其由细胞天然地表达,或在以编码前述的链的基因或cDNA转染的细胞上表达。
术语“抗体”通常指具有免疫球蛋白-类功能的蛋白质性结合分子。抗体的典型实例是免疫球蛋白,以及其衍生物或功能片段,只要其显示所需的结合特异性即可。用于制备抗体的技术是本领域熟知的。“抗体”包括不同类的天然免疫球蛋白(例如IgA、IgG、IgM、IgD和IgE)和亚类(如IgG1、lgG2、IgA1、IgA2等)。“抗体”还包括非天然免疫球蛋白,包括例如单链抗体,嵌合抗体(例如,人源化鼠抗体)和异源偶联抗体(例如,双特异性抗体),以及其抗原结合片段(例如,Fab’,F(ab’),Fab,Fv和rIgG)。还参见,例如,Pierce Catalog and Handbook,1994-1995,Pierce Chemical Co.,Rockford,IL;Kuby,J.,Immunology,3rd Ed.,1998,NY;W.H.Freeman&Co.。
抗体可以结合至一种抗原,称为“单特异性”;或结合至两种不同的抗原,称为“双特异性”;或结合至多于一种的不同的抗原,称为“多特异性”。抗体可以是单价、二价或多价的,即抗体可以一次结合至一个、两个或多个抗原分子。
抗体“单价地”结合至某特定蛋白质,即一分子的抗体仅结合至一分子的蛋白质,但是该抗体也可以结合到不同的蛋白质。当抗体仅结合至一分子的两种不同的蛋白质,该抗体为“单价地”结合至每一种蛋白质,并且该抗体是“双特异性的”且“单价地”结合至两种不同蛋白质的每一种。抗体可以是“单体的”,即其包含单个多肽链。抗体可包含多个多肽链(“多聚体的”)或可包含两个(“二聚体的”)、三个(“三聚体的”)或四个(“四聚体的”)多肽链。若抗体为多聚体的,则该抗体可以是同源多聚体(homomulitmer),即抗体包含多于一分子的仅一种多肽链,包括同源二聚体、同源三聚体或同源四聚体。可选的,多聚体抗体可以是异源多聚体,即抗体包含多于一种不同的多肽链,包括异源二聚体、异源三聚体或异源四聚体。
术语“超变区”或“CDR区”或“互补决定区”是指负责抗原结合的抗体氨基酸残基,是非连续的氨基酸序列。CDR区序列可以由IMGT、Kabat、Chothia和AbM方法来定义或本领域熟知的任何CDR区序列确定方法而鉴定的可变区内的氨基酸残基。例如,超变区包含以下氨基酸残基:来自序列比对所界定的“互补决定区”或“CDR”的氨基酸残基,例如,轻链可变结构域的24-34(L1)、50-56(L2)和89-97(L3)位残基和重链可变结构域的31-35(H1)、50-65(H2)和95-102(H3)位残基,参见Kabat等,1991,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest(免疫目的物的蛋白质序列),第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,Md.;和/或来自根据结构来界定的“超变环”(HVL)的残基,例如,轻链可变结构域的26-32(L1)、50-52(L2)和91-96(L3)位残基和重链可变结构域的26-32(H1)、53-55(H2)和96-101(H3)位残基,参见Chothia和Leskl,J.Mol.Biol.,196:901-917,1987。“构架”残基或“FR”残基为除本文定义的超变区残基之外的可变结构域残基。在某些实施方案中,本发明的抗体或其抗原结合片段含有 的CDR优选地通过Kabat、Chothia或IMGT编号系统确定。本领域技术人员可以明确地将每种系统赋予任何可变结构域序列,而不依赖于超出序列本身之外的任何实验数据。例如,给定抗体的Kabat残基编号方式可通过将抗体序列与每种“标准”编号序列对比同源区来确定。基于本文提供的序列的编号,确定序列表中任何可变区序列的编号方案完全在本领域技术人员的常规技术范围内。
术语“单链Fv抗体”(或“scFv抗体”)是指包含抗体的VH和VL结构域的抗体片段,是通过接头(linker)连接的重链可变区(VH)和轻链可变区(VL)的重组蛋白,接头使得这两个结构域相交联以形成抗原结合位点,接头序列一般由柔性肽组成,例如但不限于G 2(GGGGS) 3。scFv的大小一般是一个完整抗体的1/6。单链抗体优选是由一个核苷酸链编码的一条氨基酸链序列。对于scFv综述,可参见Pluckthun(1994)The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies(单克隆抗体药理学),第113卷,Rosenburg和Moore主编,Springer-Verlag,New York,第269-315页。还参见国际专利申请公开号WO 88/01649和美国专利第4,946,778号和第5,260,203号。

术语“抗体片段”或“抗原结合片段”是指保留与抗原(如,CD19)特异性结合能力的抗体的抗原结合片段及抗体类似物,其通常包括至少部分母体抗体(Parental Antibody)的抗原结合区或可变区。抗体片段保留母体抗体的至少某些结合特异性。通常,当用摩尔来表示活性时,抗体片段保留至少10%的母体结合活性。优选地,抗体片段保留至少20%、50%、70%、80%、90%、95%或100%的母体抗体对靶标的结合亲和力。抗体片段包括但不限于:Fab片段、Fab’片段、F(ab’)2片段、Fv片段、Fd片段、互补决定区(CDR)片段、二硫键稳定性蛋白(dsFv)等;线性抗体(Linear Antibody)、单链抗体(例如scFv单抗体)(技术来自Genmab)、二价单链抗体、单链噬菌体抗体、单域抗体(Single Domain Antibody)(例如VH结构域抗体)、结构域抗体(技术来自AbIynx);由抗体片段形成的多特异性抗体(例如三链抗体、四链抗体等);和工程改造 抗体如嵌合抗体(Chimeric Antibody)(例如人源化鼠抗体)、异缀合抗体(Heteroconjugate Antibody)等。这些抗体片段用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术获得,并用与完整抗体相同的方法对这些片段的实用性进行筛选。
术语“连接肽”是指连接两个多肽的肽,其中所述连接肽可以是两个免疫球蛋白可变区或一个可变区。连接肽的长度可以是0-30个氨基酸或0-40个氨基酸。在一些实施方案中,连接肽可以是0-25、0-20或0-18个氨基酸长度。在一些实施方案中,连接肽可以是不多于14、13、12、11、10、9、8、7、6或5个氨基酸长的肽。在其它实施方案中,连接肽可以是0-25、5-15、10-20、15-20、20-30或30-40个氨基酸长。在其它实施方案中,连接肽可以是约0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20、21、22、23、24、25、26、27、28、29或30个氨基酸长。连接肽是本领域技术人员已知的。连接肽的制备可以采用本领域任何方法。例如,连接肽可以是合成来源的。
术语“重链恒定区”包括来自免疫球蛋白重链的氨基酸序列。包含重链恒定区的多肽至少包含以下一种:CH1结构域,铰链(例如,上部铰链区、中间铰链区,和/或下部铰链区)结构域,CH2结构域,CH3结构域,或其变体或片段。例如,本申请中使用的抗原结合多肽可包含具有CH1结构域的多肽链;具有CH1结构域、至少一部分的铰链结构域和CH2结构域的多肽;具有CH1结构域和CH3结构域的多肽链;具有CH1结构域、至少一部分铰链结构域和CH3结构域的多肽链,或者具有CH1结构域,至少一部分铰链结构,CH2结构域,和CH3结构域的多肽链。在另一个实施例中,本申请的多肽包括具有CH3结构域的多肽链。另外,在本申请中使用的抗体可能缺少至少一部分CH2结构域(例如,所有的或一部分的CH2结构域)。如上文所述,但本技术领域的普通技术人员应理解,重链恒定区可能会被修改,使得它们在氨基酸序列上与天然存在的免疫球蛋白分子不同。
术语“VH结构域”包括免疫球蛋白重链的氨基末端可变结构域,而术语“CH1结构域”包括免疫球蛋白重链的第一(多数为氨基末端)恒定区。CH1结构域邻近VH结构域并且是免疫球蛋白重链分子的铰链区的氨基末端。
术语“铰链区”包括重链分子的将CH1结构域连接至CH2结构域的那一部分。该铰链区包含约25个残基并且是柔性的,从而使两个N-末端抗原结合区独立地移动。铰链区可分为三个不同的结构域:上部、中部、和下部铰链结构域(Roux KH等,J.Immunol.,161:4083,1998)。
术语“二硫键”包括两个硫原子之间形成的共价键。氨基酸半胱氨酸含有巯基,该巯基可以与第二个巯基形成二硫键或桥连。在大多数天然存在的IgG分子中,CH1和CK区由二硫键连接并且两个重链由两个二硫键连接,在对应于使用Kabat编号系统的239和242处(位置226或229,EU编号系统)连接。
术语“体内半衰期”指目的多肽在给定动物的循环中的生物半衰期,并表示为在动物中从循环和/或其他组织清除存在于该动物循环中的量的一半所需的时间。
术语“同一性”用于指两个多肽之间或两个核酸之间序列的匹配情况。当两个进行比较的序列中的某个位置都被相同的碱基或氨基酸单体亚单元占据时(例如,两个DNA分子的每一个中的某个位置都被腺嘌呤占据,或两个多肽的每一个中的某个位置都被赖氨酸占据),那么各分子在该位置上是同一的。两个序列之间的“百分数同一性”是由这两个序列共有的匹配位置数目除以进行比较的位置数目×100的函数。例如,如果两个序列的10个位置中有6个匹配,那么这两个序列具有60%的同一性。例如,DNA序列CTGACT和CAGGTT共有50%的同一性(总共6个位置中有3个位置匹配)。通常,在将两个序列比对以产生最大同一性时进行比较。这样的比对可通过使用,例如,可通过计算机程序例如Align程序(DNAstar,Inc.)方便地进行的Needleman等人(1970)J.Mol.Biol.,48:443-453的方法来实现。还可使用已整合入ALIGN程序(版本2.0)的E.Meyers和W.Miller(Comput.Appl Biosci.,4:11-17(1988))的算法,使用PAM120权重残基表(weight residue table)、12的缺口长度罚分和4的缺口罚分来测定两个氨基酸序列之间的百分数同一性。此外,可使用已整合入GCG软件包(可在www.gcg.com上获得)的GAP程序中的Needleman和Wunsch(J.MoI.Biol.,48:444-453(1970))算法,使用Blossum 62矩阵或PAM250矩阵以及16、14、12、10、8、6或4的缺口权重(gap weight)和1、2、3、4、5或6的长度权重来测定两个氨基酸序列之间的百分数同一性。
术语“Fc区”或“Fc片段”是指免疫球蛋白重链的C端区,其含有铰链区的至少一部分、CH2结构域和CH3结构域,其介导免疫球蛋白与宿主组织或因子的结合,包括与位于免疫系统的各种细胞(例如,效应细胞)上的Fc受体结合或与经典补体系统的第一组分(C1q)结合,包括天然序列Fc区和变异Fc区。
通常,人IgG重链Fc区为自其Cys226或Pro230位置的氨基酸残基至羧基末端的区段,但其边界可能有变化。Fc区的C-末端赖氨酸(残基447,依照EU编号系统)可以存在或可以不存在。Fc还可以指隔离的这一区域,或在包含Fc的蛋白多肽的情况下,例如“包含Fc区的结合蛋白”,还称为“Fc融合蛋白”(例如,抗体或免疫粘合素)。本发明的抗体中天然序列Fc区包括哺乳动物(例如人)IgG1、IgG2(IgG2A,IgG2B)、IgG3和IgG4。在人IgG1Fc区中,至少两个等位基因类型是已知的。在某些实施方案中,相对于哺乳动物Fc多肽氨基酸序列的序列,两条Fc多肽链的氨基酸序列中每100个氨基酸中具有10个左右氨基酸的单一氨基酸的置换、插入和/或缺失。在一些实施方案中,上述不同可以是延长半衰期的Fc改变、增加FcRn结合的改变、抑制Fcγ受体(FcγR)结合的改变和/或降低或去除ADCC和CDC的改变。
在IgG、IgA和IgD抗体同种型中,Fc区包含抗体的两条重链的每一条的CH2和CH3恒定结构域;IgM和IgE Fc区包含在每条多肽链中的三个重链恒定结构域(CH结构域2-4)。
术语“Fc受体”或“FcR”指结合免疫球蛋白Fc区的受体。FcR可以是天然序列人FcR,也可以是结合IgG抗体的FcR(γ受体),以及这些受体的等位基因变体和可变剪接形式。FcγR家族由三种活化受体(小鼠中的FcγRI,FcγRIII和FcγRIV;人类中的FcγRIA,FcγRIIA和FcγRIIIA)和一种抑制性受体(FcγRIIb 或等同的FcγRIIB)组成。FcγRII受体包括FcγRIIA(“活化受体”)和FcγRIIB(“抑制受体”),它们具有相似的氨基酸序列。FcγRIIA的胞质结构域中包含免疫受体基于酪氨酸的活化基序(ITAM)。FcγRIIB的胞质结构域中包含免疫受体基于酪氨酸的抑制基序(ITIM)(参见M.Annu.Rev.Immunol.,15:203-234,1997)。大多数天然效应细胞类型共表达一种或多种活化FcγR和抑制性FcγRIIb,而NK细胞选择性表达一种活化性Fc受体(小鼠中的FcγRIII和人中的FcγRIIIA),但小鼠和人中不表达抑制性FcγRIIb。人类IgG1与大多数人类Fc受体结合,在其结合的活化性Fc受体的类型方面被认为等同于鼠类IgG2a。术语“FcR”在本文中涵盖其它FcR,包括那些未来将会鉴定的。测量对FcRn的结合的方法是已知的(参见例如Ghetie V等,Immunol.Today,18:592-8,1997;Ghetie V等,Nature Biotechnol.,15:637-40,1997)。可测定人FcRn高亲和力结合多肽与FcRn的体内结合和血清半衰期,例如在表达人FcRn的转基因小鼠或经转染的人细胞系中。术语“Fc受体”或“FcR”还包括新生儿受体FcRn,它负责将母体IgG转移给胎儿(Guyer RL等,J.Immunol.,117:587,1976;Kim YJ等,J.Immunol.,24:249,1994)。
术语“靶细胞”是与抗体结合的并参与介导疾病的细胞。在一些情况下,靶细胞可以是通常参与介导免疫反应,还参与疾病的介导的细胞。例如在B细胞淋巴瘤中,通常参与介导免疫反应的B细胞可以是靶细胞。在一些实施方案中,靶细胞为癌细胞、病原体感染的细胞或参与介导自身免疫性疾病或炎性疾病(例如纤维化疾病)的细胞。所述抗体可通过结合至“靶细胞蛋白”上的抗原而结合至靶细胞,所述靶细胞蛋白是在靶细胞表面显示的蛋白质,且可能为高度表达的蛋白质。
术语“毒素”用于本文时指抑制或防止细胞的功能和/或引起细胞破坏的物质。该术语意图包括放射性同位素(例如I 131、I 125、Y 90、Re 186)、化学治疗剂、和毒素(诸如细菌、真菌、植物或动物起源的酶活毒素),或其片段。
术语“细胞因子”一般指由一种细胞群体释放的,作为细胞间介质对另一细胞起作用或者对生成该蛋白质的细胞具有自分泌影响的蛋白质。此类细胞因子的例子包括淋巴因子,单核因子;白介素(“IL”),例如IL-2,IL-6,IL-17A-F;肿瘤坏死因子,例如TNF-α或TNF-β;和其它多肽因子,例如白血病抑制因子(“LIF”)。
术语“化学治疗”或“化疗”指在特征为异常细胞生长的疾病的治疗中施以有治疗用途的任何化学剂。这样的疾病包括例如肿瘤、新生物和癌症以及特征为增生性生长的疾病。“化疗剂”特异性地靶向参与细胞分裂的细胞,而不靶向未参与细胞分裂的细胞。化疗剂直接干扰与细胞分裂密切相关的过程,例如DNA复制、RNA合成、蛋白质合成、或有丝分裂纺锤体的组装、分解或功能,和/或在这些过程中发挥作用的分子(如核苷酸或氨基酸)的合成或稳定性。因此,化疗剂对癌细胞和其它参与细胞分裂的细胞都具有细胞毒性或细胞抑制效应。联合化疗给予多于一种的试剂来治疗癌症。
术语“免疫结合”和“免疫结合性质”是指一种非共价相互作用,其发生在免疫球蛋白分子和抗原(对于该抗原而言免疫球蛋白为特异性的)之间。免疫结合相互作用的强度或亲和力可以相互作用的平衡解离 常数(K D)表示,其中K D值越小,表示亲和力越高。所选多肽的免疫结合性质可使用本领域中公知的方法定量。一种方法涉及测量抗原结合位点/抗原复合物形成和解离的速度。“结合速率常数”(K a或K on)和“解离速率常数”(K d或K off)两者都可通过浓度及缔合和解离的实际速率而计算得出。(参见Malmqvist M等,Nature,361:186-187,1993)。k d/k a的比率等于解离常数K D(通常参见Davies C等,Annual.Rev.Biochem.,59:439-473,1990)。可用任何有效的方法测量K D、k a和k d值。
术语“交叉反应”是指本文所述的抗体结合来自不同物种的肿瘤相关抗原的能力。例如,本文所述的结合人TAA的抗体还可结合来自其它物种的TAA(例如,食蟹猴TAA)。交叉反应性可通过检测在结合测定法(例如,SPR、ELISA)中与纯化抗原的特定反应性,或与生理表达TAA的细胞的结合或以其它方式与生理表达TAA的细胞功能相互作用来测量。本领域中已知测定结合亲和力的分析的实例包括表面等离子共振(例如,Biacore)或类似技术(例如,Kinexa或Octet)。
术语“免疫应答”是由免疫系统细胞(例如T淋巴细胞,B淋巴细胞,NK细胞,抗原呈递细胞、巨噬细胞,嗜酸性粒细胞,肥大细胞,DC细胞或嗜中性粒细胞)以及由免疫细胞或肝脏所产生的可溶性大分子的作用,由这些细胞或肝脏中(包括抗体,细胞因子和补体)的任何一个产生,该作用导致对侵入性病原体、被病原体感染的细胞或组织、癌细胞、或病理炎症情况下的正常人类细胞或组织的选择性损害、破坏或将它们从人体中清除。免疫反应包括例如T细胞(例如效应T细胞或Th细胞,如CD 8+或CD 4+T细胞)的活化或抑制,或抑制或耗竭NK细胞或Treg细胞。
“效应细胞”是指免疫系统的一种细胞,其表达一种或多种FcR并介导一种或多种效应器功能。优选地,该细胞表达至少一种类型的激活性Fc受体,例如人FcγRIII,并执行ADCC效应器功能。介导ADCC的人白细胞的实例包括外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)、NK细胞、单核细胞、巨噬细胞、中性粒细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞。效应细胞也包括例如T细胞。他们可以来源于包括但不限于人、小白鼠、大鼠、兔子和猴的任何生物体。
术语“效应子功能”是指,那些可归因于抗体Fc区(天然序列Fc区或氨基酸序列变体Fc区)的生物学活性,且其随抗体同种型而变化。抗体效应子功能的例子包括但不限于:Fc受体结合亲和性、ADCC、ADCP、CDC、细胞表面受体(例如B细胞受体)的下调、B细胞活化、细胞因子分泌、抗体和抗原-抗体复合物的半衰期/清除率等。改变抗体的效应子功能的方法是本领域已知的,例如通过在Fc区引入突变来完成。
术语“抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性(ADCC)”是指一种细胞毒性形式,Ig通过与细胞毒性细胞(例如NK细胞、中性粒细胞或巨噬细胞)上存在的FcR结合,使这些细胞毒性效应细胞特异性结合到抗原附着的靶细胞上,然后通过分泌细胞毒素杀死靶细胞。检测抗体的ADCC活性的方法是本领域已知的,例如可通过测定待测抗体与FcR(例如CD16a)之间的结合活性来评价。

与新生儿受体(FcRn)结合亲和力改变的Fc变体
这里使用的“FcRn”指结合IgG抗体Fc区的至少部分由FcRn基因编码的蛋白。FcRn可以来源于包括但不限于人、小白鼠、大鼠、兔子和猴的任何生物体。功能性FcRn蛋白包含经常被称为重链和轻链的两条多肽,轻链是β-2-微球蛋白,重链由FcRn基因编码。
本发明涉及对FcRn的结合被调节的抗体(调节包括增加以及降低结合)。例如:在有些情况下,增加的结合会导致细胞再循环抗体,并由此延长,例如治疗抗体的半衰期。有时,降低FcRn结合是合乎需要的,例如用作包含放射标记的诊断抗体或治疗抗体。另外,对FcRn的结合显示出增加,同时对其他Fc受体,例如FcγRs的结合被改变的抗体可以用于本发明。
本申请涉及包含调节对FcRn的结合力的氨基酸修饰的抗体。具有特殊意义的是在较低的pH时,对FcRn的结合亲和力显示出增加,而在更高的pH时,结合基本上不显示出改变的最低限度地包含Fc区的抗体或其功能性变体。
与新生儿受体(FcRn)结合亲和力增强的Fc变体
IgG的血浆半衰期取决于它与FcRn的结合,一般在pH 6.0时结合,在pH 7.4(血浆pH)时解离。通过对两者结合位点的研究,改造IgG上与FcRn结合的位点,使之在pH 6.0时结合能力增加。已经证明对于结合FcRn重要的人Fcγ结构域的一些残基的突变可增加血清半衰期。已报道T250、M252、S254、T256、V308、E380、M428和N434(EU编号)中的突变可增加或降低FcRn结合亲和力(Roopenian DC等,Nat.Rev.Immunol.,7:715-725,2007)。韩国专利号KR 10-1027427公开了具有增加的FcRn结合亲和力的曲妥珠单抗(赫赛汀,Genentech)变体,并且这些变体包含选自257C、257M、257L、257N、257Y、279Q、279Y、308F和308Y的一个或更多个氨基酸修饰。韩国专利公开号KR 2010-0099179提供了贝伐单抗(阿瓦斯汀, Genentech)变体并且这些变体通过包含在N434S、M252Y/M428L、M252Y/N434S和M428L/N434S的氨基酸修饰显示增加的体内半衰期。此外,Hinton等也发现T250Q和M428L2个突变体分别使与FcRn的结合增加3和7倍。同时突变2个位点,则结合增加28倍。在恒河猴体内,M428L或T250QM/428L突变体显示血浆半衰期增加2倍(Hinton PR等,J.Immunol.,176:346-356,2006)。更多的与新生儿受体(FcRn)结合亲和力增强的Fc变体所包含突变位点可以参见中国发明专利CN 201280066663.2。此外,有研究对五种人源化抗体的Fc段进行T250Q/M428L突变不仅改善了Fc与FcRn的相互作用,且在随后的体内药代动力学试验中,发现以皮下注射给药,Fc突变抗体与野生型抗体相比药代动力学参数有所改善,如体内暴露量增加、清除率降低、皮下生物利用度提高(Datta-Mannan A等,MAbs.Taylor&Francis,4:267-273,2012)。
其他可引起本发明抗体与FcRn亲和力增强的突变点包括但不限于以下氨基酸修饰:226,227,230,233,239,241,243,246,259,264,265,267,269,270,276,284,285,288,289,290,291,292,294,298,299,301,302,303,305,307,309,311,315,317,320,322,325,327,330,332,334,335,338,340,342,343,345,347,350,352,354,355,356,359,360,361,362,369,370,371,375,378,382,383,384,385,386,387,389,390,392,393,394,395,396,397,398,399,400,401,403,404,408,411,412,414,415,416,418,419,420,421,422,424,426,433,438,439,440,443,444,445,446,其中Fc区中氨基酸的编号是Kabat中的EU索引的编号。
与FcRn结合亲和力增强的Fc变体还包括其他一切公知的氨基酸修饰位点以及尚未被发现的氨基酸修饰位点。
在可选择的实施方式中,可以优化IgG变体使其具有增加或降低的FcRn亲和力,以及增加或降低的人FcγR,包括但不限于FcγRI、FcγRIIa、FcγRIIb、FcγRIIc、FcγRIIIa和包括他们的等位基因变异的FcγRIIIb亲和力。
优先地,IgG变体的Fc配体特异性将决定它的治疗应用。给定IgG变体用于治疗目的将取决于靶抗原的表位或形式,以及待治疗的疾病或适应症。对大多数靶和适应症来说,增强的FcRn结合可是更优选的,因为增强的FcRn结合可以导致血清半衰期延长。较长的血清半衰期允许治疗时以较低的频率和剂量给药。为了使需要重复给药的适应症作出反应而施用该治疗剂时,这种特性可是特别优选的。对一些靶和适应症来说,当需要变体Fc具有增加的清除或降低的血清半衰期时,例如当Fc多肽用作显象剂或放射治疗剂时,降低的FcRn亲和力可是特别优选的。
可以通过现有技术的公知方法来评价该多肽对FcRn的亲和力。
FcRn可以来自包括但不限于人类、小鼠、大鼠、兔和猴的任意生物。

编码双抗的核酸
使用本文描述的治疗剂和抗体或抗体片段,本领域技术人员可容易地构建含有功能等价核酸(例如序列不同、但编码相同的效应部分或抗体序列的核酸)的多个克隆。因此,本发明提供了双特异性抗体、编码抗体、抗体片段及其融合蛋白的核酸、核酸变体、衍生物和物种同源物。
本领域已知许多编码包含VH、VL、铰链、CH1、CH2、CH3和CH4区的免疫球蛋白区的核酸序列。参见,如,Kabat等.,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,Public Health Service N.I.H.,Bethesda,MD,1991。根据本文提供的教导,本领域技术人员可将所述核酸序列和/或本领域已知的其它核酸序列结合,以构建编码本发明双特异性抗体的核酸序列。编码本发明双特异性抗体的示例性核苷酸包括(1)SEQ ID NO:56,(2)SEQ ID NO:58,(3)SEQ ID NO:60和(4)SEQ ID NO:62。
此外,基于本文和其它地方提供的氨基酸序列及本领域常识,本领域技术人员可以确定编码本发明双特异性抗体的核酸序列。除较传统的生产编码特定氨基酸序列的克隆DNA片段的方法外,现今如DNA 2.0(Menlo Park,CA,USA)和Blue Heron(Bothell,WA,USA)等公司通常采用化学合成来生产任意期望顺序排序的基因大小的DNA,从而简化生产所述DNA的过程。
制备双特异性抗体的方法
可采用本领域任何已知的方法制备本发明双特异性抗体。早期构建双特异性抗体的方法有化学交联法或杂合杂交瘤或四价体瘤法(例如,Staerz UD等,Nature,314:628-31,1985;Milstein C等,Nature,305:537-540,1983;Karpovsky B等,J.Exp.Med.,160:1686-1701,1984)。化学偶联法是将2个不同的单克隆抗体用化学偶联的方式连接在一起,制备出双特异性单克隆抗体。例如两种不同单克隆抗体的化学结合,或例如两个抗体片段如两个Fab片段的化学结合。杂合—杂交瘤法是通过细胞杂交法或者三元杂交瘤的方式产生双特异性单克隆抗体,这些细胞杂交瘤或者三元杂交瘤是通过建成的杂交瘤融合,或者建立的杂交瘤和从小鼠得到的淋巴细胞融合而得到的。虽然这些技术用于制造BiAb,但各种产生问题使得此类复合物难以使用,诸如产生含有抗原结合位点的不同组合的混合群体、蛋白质表现方面的困难、需要纯化目标BiAb、低产率、生产费用高等。
最近的方法利用经过基因工程改造的构建体,其能够产生单一BiAb的均质产物而无需彻底纯化以去除不需要的副产物。此类构建体包括串联scFv、二抗体、串联二抗体、双可变结构域抗体和使用诸如Ch1/Ck结构域或DNLTM的基元的异源二聚(Chames&Baty,Curr.Opin.Drug.Discov.Devel.,12:276-83,2009;Chames&Baty,mAbs,1:539-47)。相关纯化技术是公知的。
还可以使用单淋巴细胞抗体方法通过克隆和表达由选择用于产生特异性抗体的单个淋巴细胞产生的免疫球蛋白可变区cDNA来产生抗体,例如由Babcook J等人,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA.93:7843-7848,1996; WO 92/02551;WO 2004/051268和WO 2004/106377所述的方法。
用于产生例如用于免疫宿主或用于淘选诸如用于噬菌体展示(或酵母细胞或细菌细胞表面表达)的抗体的抗原多肽可以通过本领域熟知的方法从包含表达系统的遗传工程改造的宿主细胞制备,或者它们可以是从天然生物来源回收。例如,可将编码双特异性抗体的一条或两条多肽链的核酸通过多种已知的方法(如转化、转染、电穿孔、用核酸包被的微粒轰击等)引入培养的宿主细胞。在一些实施方案中,编码双特异性抗体的核酸在被引入宿主细胞前可先插入至适于在宿主细胞中表达的载体中。典型的所述载体可包含使插入的核酸能够在RNA和蛋白质水平上表达的序列元件。
所述载体是本领域公知的,并且许多是商购可获得的。含有所述核酸的宿主细胞可在能够使细胞表达该核酸的条件下培养,且得到的BiAb可从细胞群或培养基中收集。可选地,BiAb可在体内生产,例如,在植物叶片中(参见,如Scheller J等,Nature Biotechnol.,19:573-577,2001和其中引用的参考文献),鸟蛋中(参见,如Zhu L等,Nature Biotechnol.,23:1159-1169,2005和其中引用的参考文献),或哺乳动物的奶中(参见,如Laible G等,Reprod.Fertil.Dev.,25:315,2012)。
可以使用的多种培养的宿主细胞包括,例如,原核细胞、真核细胞、细菌细胞(如大肠杆菌或嗜热脂肪芽胞杆菌(Bacilis stearothermophilus))、真菌细胞(如酿酒酵母或毕赤酵母)、昆虫细胞(如包括草地夜蛾细胞在内的鳞翅目昆虫细胞)或哺乳动物细胞(如中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞、NS0细胞、小仓鼠肾(BHK)细胞、猴肾细胞、Hela细胞、人肝细胞癌细胞或293细胞等等)。
双特异性抗体可通过双特异性抗原的免疫原性制剂免疫合适的受试者(例如,兔,山羊,小鼠,或其它哺乳动物,包括转基因的和经剔除的上述哺乳动物)制备。合适的免疫原性制剂可以是,例如化学合成的或重组表达的双特异性抗原。所述的制剂可进一步包含佐剂,例如弗氏完全或不完全佐剂或类似的免疫刺激化合物。而且,当用于制备抗体时,特别是通过体内免疫的方式,本发明的双特异性抗原可以单独使用,或优选地作为与载体蛋白的偶联物。这种加强抗体应答的方法是本领域所公知的。根据所需的抗体不同,可使用不同的动物宿主进行体内免疫。可使用自身表达有用的内源抗原的宿主,或使用已导致有用内源抗原缺陷的宿主。
双特异性抗体可通过结合的以上所述的方法制备。
本发明所述双特异性抗体分子可以作为关于每个靶的单克隆抗体(MAb)。在一些实施方案中,抗体是嵌合的、人源化的或全人的。
单克隆抗体可以通过本领域已知的任何方法制备,诸如杂交瘤技术(Kohler&Milstein,Nature,256:495-497,1975),三源杂交瘤技术,人B细胞杂交瘤技术(Kozbor D等,Immunology Today,4:72,1983)和EBV-杂交瘤技术(Cole SPC等,Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy,pp77-96,Alan R Liss,Inc.,1985)。
本发明的双特异性抗体,或其部分可通过常规的免疫学分析方法,例如酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA), 放射免疫分析(RIA)或组织免疫组织化学用于检测任一或所有这些抗原(例如在生物样品,如血清或血浆中)。本发明提供检测生物样品中的抗原的方法,该方法包括:使所述生物样品与本发明的可特异识别所述抗原的双特异性抗体,或抗体部分与抗原相接触,并检测与抗原结合的抗体(或抗体部分),或非结合抗体(或抗体部分),由此检测所述生物样品中的所述抗原。所述抗体用可检测的物质进行直接或间接的标记,以便于检测结合或非结合抗体。合适的可检测物质包括多种酶,修复基团,荧光物质,发光物质和放射性物质。合适的酶的例子包括,辣根过氧化物酶,碱性磷酸酶,β-半乳糖苷酶,乙酰胆碱酯酶;合适的修复基团复合物的例子包括链霉抗生物素蛋白/生物素和抗生物素蛋白/生物素;合适的荧光物质的例子包括7-羟基香豆素,荧光素,荧光素异硫氰酸盐,硷性蕊香红B,二氯三嗪基胺荧光素,丹磺酰氯或藻红蛋白;发光物质的例子包括3-氨基邻苯二甲酰环肼;合适的放射性物质的例子包括I 125、I 13135S或 3H。

在一些优选实施方案中,可将上述CD3链的部分片段结合至本发明的同源二聚体,所述CD3可以是人CD3ε链或源自不同物种的CD3ε链,优选为源自上文所列哺乳动物物种中的一种。抗体所结合的表位可以通过丙氨酸扫描或其他公知技术确定,所述丙氨酸扫描描述于,如美国专利申请公开文本2010/183615中,其中相关的部分以引用的方式并入本文。

1.2、双特异性抗体分子表达载体的构建
按常规分子生物学方法合成上述双特异性抗体的编码基因,并将获得的融合基因的编码cDNA分别插入到经PCDNA3.1改造后的真核表达质粒pCMAB2M的相应酶切位点间,该质粒含巨细胞病毒早期启动子,它是哺乳动物细胞高水平表达外源基因所需的增强子。质粒pCMAB2M还含有选择性标记物,从而在细菌中可以具有卡那霉素抗性,而在哺乳动物细胞中可以具有G418抗性。另外,当宿主细胞是DHFR基因表达缺陷型时,pCMAB2M表达载体含有小鼠的二氢叶酸还原酶(DHFR)基因,从而在存在氨甲蝶呤(MTX)时能共扩增目的基因和DHFR基因(参见美国专利US 4,399,216)。
1.3、双特异性抗体分子的表达
将上述构建的表达质粒转染哺乳动物宿主细胞系,以表达双特异性抗体。为了稳定高水平的表达,优选的宿主细胞系是DHFR酶缺陷型CHO-细胞(参见美国专利US 4,818,679),本实施例中宿主细胞选取CHO衍生细胞株DXB11。一种优选的转染方法是电穿孔,也可以使用其它方法,包括磷酸钙共沉降、脂转染。在电穿孔中,用设置为300V电场和1500μFd电容的Gene Pulser电穿孔仪(Bio-Rad Laboratories,Hercules,CA),在比色杯内的5×10 7个细胞中加入50μg表达载体质粒DNA。在转染两天后,将培养基改成含0.6mg/mL G418的生长培养基。用极限稀释亚克隆转染子,并用ELISA方法测定各细胞系的分泌率。筛选出高水平表达双特异性抗体的细胞株。
为了实现融合蛋白较高水平的表达,宜用受MTX药物抑制的DHFR基因进行共扩增。在含有递增浓度MTX的生长培养基中,用DHFR基因共扩增转染的融合蛋白基因。极限稀释DHFR表达阳性的亚克隆,逐步加压并筛选出能在高达6μM MTX培养基中生长的转染子,测定其分泌率,筛选出高表达外源蛋白的细胞系。将分泌率超过约5(较佳地约15)μg/10 6(即百万)个细胞/24h的细胞系使用无血清培养基的进行 适应性悬浮培养。然后,收集细胞上清并分离纯化双特异性抗体。
下文分别对几种双特异性抗体的纯化工艺、稳定性、体外和体内生物学功能等进行评价。
1.4、双特异性抗体的纯化工艺及稳定性试验
a)双链四价双特异性抗体的纯化
我们采用三步层析法对CD19双特异性抗体进行纯化。分别为亲和层析、羟基磷灰石层析和阴离子交换层析(本实施例采用的蛋白纯化仪为美国GE公司的AKTA pure 25M。本实施例中采用的试剂均购自国药集团化学试剂有限公司,纯度均为分析级)。
第一步,亲和层析:采用博格隆公司的AT Protein A Diamond或其它市售的亲和介质(例如GE公司的MabSelect Sure亲和层析介质等)进行样品捕获、浓缩以及部分污染物的去除。首先使用平衡buffer(20mM PB,150mM NaCl,pH 7.4),以100-200cm/h的线性流速平衡层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);将经过澄清后的发酵液以100-200cm/h的线性流速上样,载量不高于20mg/mL填料;上样完毕后,使用平衡buffer(20mM PB,150mM NaCl,pH 7.4)以100-200cm/h的线性流速平衡层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV),冲洗未结合的组份;使用去污buffer 1(50mM NaAc-HAc,1M NaCl,pH 5.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速冲洗层析柱3-5个柱体积,去除部分污染物;使用去污buffer 2(50mM NaAc-HAc,pH 5.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速平衡层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);之后使用洗脱buffer(50mM NaAc-HAc,pH 3.5),以不高于100cm/h的线性流速洗脱目标产物,收集目标峰。
第二步,羟基磷灰石层析:使用BIO-RAD公司的CHT TypeⅡ或其它市售的羟基磷灰石介质进行中间纯化,用于降低聚合体含量。目标蛋白聚合以后,聚合体和单体之间存在性质上的差异,包括电荷特性以及钙离子螯合等作用,我们使用电荷特性等的差异对二者进行分离。首先,使用平衡buffer(20mM PB,pH 7.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速平衡层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);第一步亲和层析分离得到的目标蛋白调pH 7.0,然后上样,载量控制在<5mg/ml;上样完毕后,使用平衡buffer(20mM PB,pH 7.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速冲洗层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);最后进行目标蛋白洗脱,使用洗脱buffer(20mM PB,1M NaCl,pH 7.0),以0-25%梯度洗脱,以不高于100cm/h的线性流速洗脱10个柱体积(CV),对洗脱组分进行分段收集,分别送检SEC-HPLC。将单体百分比大于95%的目标组分合并进行下一步层析。
第三步,阴离子交换层析:使用博格隆公司的Q-HP或其它市售的阴离子交换层析介质(例如GE的Q HP、TOSOH的Toyopearl GigaCap Q-650、天地人和的DEAE Beads 6FF,赛分科技的Generik MC-Q、Merck的Fractogel EMD TMAE、Pall的Q Ceramic HyperD F)进行精细纯化,进一步去除HCP、DNA等污染物。首先使用平衡buffer(20mM PB,0.15M NaCl,pH 7.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速冲洗层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);经第二步羟基磷灰石层析分离得到的目标蛋白上样,收集流穿,上样完毕,使用平衡buffer(20 mM PB,0.15M NaCl,pH 7.0),以100-200cm/h的线性流速冲洗层析柱3-5个柱体积(CV);对流穿组分进行收集,分别送样进行蛋白含量、SEC-HPLC和电泳检测。
样品的SEC-HPLC纯度结果及SDS-PAGE电泳结果分别见图1-1和图1-2,其中SEC-HPLC结果显示,三步层析后双特异性抗体的主峰纯度达95%以上,SDS-PAGE电泳带型符合预期,非还原电泳(160KDa),还原后可得清晰的(80KDa)单链条带。
b)CD19双特异性抗体稳定性试验
对CD19双抗蛋白在不同pH(5.5和6.0)的柠檬酸盐(20mM柠檬酸盐、8%蔗糖、0.02%Tween-80)中的稳定性进行考察,同时探究震荡对样品稳定性的影响。将CD19双抗蛋白在25℃的加速条件下贮存2周,对蛋白的稳定性进行评估。
将CD19双抗蛋白分别换液至pH 5.5和6.0的柠檬酸盐缓冲液中。不同时间点取样检测,每个取样点取出样品进行检测分析,检测项目包括SEC-HPLC及CE-SDS。
2种制剂配方在25℃贮存0~2周后的SEC-HPLC和CE-SDS检测结果见表1-4和表1-5。样品在放置两周后,SEC-HPLC检测结果中聚体、主峰、肩峰及片段的比例无明显变化,在不同pH下,样品各组分的比例也相差不大。样品在pH 5.5和6.0的柠檬酸盐缓冲液中两周内SEC-HPLC结果无明显差异。

实施例二、Anti-CD19×CD3双特异性抗体的体外生物学功能评价
2.1、双特异性抗体与效应细胞和靶细胞结合活性的测定(FACS)
a)利用流式分析法检测双特异性抗体与CD19阳性肿瘤细胞Raji的结合活性
培养CD19表达阳性的肿瘤细胞Raji细胞(上海中科院细胞库),离心收集细胞。将收集的细胞用1%PBSB重悬,调整细胞密度为2×10 6个/ml,置于96孔板中,每孔100μl(2×10 5个细胞),4℃封闭0.5h。封闭后的细胞离心弃上清,加入稀释好的一系列浓度的双特异性抗体,4℃孵育1h;离心去上清,用1%BSA的PBS溶液(PBSB)洗3遍,加入稀释好的AF647标记的山羊抗人IgG抗体,4℃避光孵育1h;离心去上清,1%PBSB洗两遍,每孔再用100μl 1%多聚甲醛(PF)重悬,流式细胞仪检测信号强度。再以平均荧光强度作为Y轴,抗体浓度作为X轴,通过软件GraphPad进行分析,计算双特异性抗体与肿瘤细胞Raji结合的EC 50值。

如表4-4所示,测试动物的体重整体上变化不大,相对于给药之前4天(记作D-4)体重,仅AB23P7给药组雄性食蟹猴体重下降较为明显,但体重减轻仍在10%之内,停药后体重停止下降。
表4-4:食蟹猴的体重监测(Kg)
Figure PCTCN2019114808-appb-000016
食蟹猴在给药后,取血收集血清,测定血清中细胞因子的含量。结果如图4-1A~4-1F所示。在第一次给药后,IL-2、IL-6和IFN-γ都有升高,但是在24h内恢复正常。随后再次给药,虽然剂量逐渐增加,然而在食蟹猴免疫系统适应后,细胞因子仍然维持在正常水平。说明食蟹猴对测试药物的耐受有一个从低到高的适应过程。本实验过程中观察到的不同程度的腹泻,是免疫药物治疗中常见的副作用,在停药后即恢复正常。在高达1mg/kg的给药剂量下,食蟹猴未出现严重的毒副作用,表明两个候选药物都有很好的耐受。体内药效实验结果显示,低剂量的AB23P7和AB23P10表现出很好的抗肿瘤效果,表明候选药物的治疗窗口较宽,安全性较高。

食蟹猴(广州相观生物科技有限公司)分成两个组,每组雌雄各一只,体重在3-4kg。第一组为AB23P7给药组;第二组为AB23P10给药组,给药剂量为50μg/kg;采血时间点分别为30min、1h、3h、6h、8h、24h、48h、72h,共8个时间点。取血收集血清,-80℃冻存,然后采用ELISA方法测定血清中的药品浓度。
用人CD19抗原(Acrobiosystems,CD9-H5258)包板,包板浓度为0.5μg/mL。分别将AB23P7、AB23P10按照100ng/mL、50ng/mL、25ng/mL、12.5ng/mL、6.25ng/mL、3.125ng/mL、1.56ng/mL配置并建立标准曲线。用HRP标记羊抗人IgG抗体,检测使用浓度为1:5000,最后用TMB显色。利用PKSolver软件计算药代动力学参数,具体参数见表4-5。
结果显示,AB23P7在食蟹猴中的半衰期为15.85±5.3h,AB23P10在食蟹猴中的半衰期为15.9±1.8h,两个双特异性抗体在食蟹猴中表现出一致的半衰期。
