本公开所述的“抗体”指免疫球蛋白,完整抗体是由两条相同的重链和两条相同 的轻链通过链间二硫键连接而成的四肽链结构。免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,故其抗原性也不同。据此,可将免疫球蛋白分为五类,或称为免疫球蛋白的同种型,即IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE,其相应的重链分别为μ链、δ链、γ链、α链、和ε链。同一类Ig根据其铰链区氨基酸组成和重链二硫键的数目和位置的差别,又可分为不同的亚类,如IgG可分为IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4。轻链通过恒定区的不同分为κ链或λ链。五类Ig中每类Ig都可以有κ链或λ链。
抗体重链和轻链靠近N端的约110个氨基酸的序列变化很大,为可变区(Fv区);靠近C端的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区。可变区包括3个高变区(HVR)和4个序列相对保守的骨架区(FR)。3个高变区决定抗体的特异性,又称为互补性决定区(CDR)。每条轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)由3个CDR区4个FR区组成,从氨基端到羧基端依次排列的顺序为:FR1,CDR1,FR2,CDR2,FR3,CDR3,FR4。轻链的3个CDR区指LCDR1、LCDR2、和LCDR3;重链的3个CDR区指HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3。
本公开的抗体包括鼠源抗体、嵌合抗体和人源化抗体。
术语“鼠源抗体”在本公开中为根据本领域知识和技能制备的针对人Claudin18.2的单克隆抗体。制备时用Claudin18.2或其表位作为抗原注射试验对象,然后分离表达具有所需序列或功能特性的抗体的杂交瘤。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,所述的鼠源抗Claudin18.2抗体或其抗原结合片段,可进一步包含鼠源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区,或进一步包含鼠源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或其变体的重链恒定区。
术语“嵌合抗体(chimeric antibody)”,是将鼠源性抗体的可变区与人抗体的恒定区融合而成的抗体,可以减轻鼠源性抗体诱发的免疫应答反应。建立嵌合抗体,要先建立分泌鼠源性特异性单抗的杂交瘤,然后从鼠杂交瘤细胞中克隆可变区基因,再根据需要克隆人抗体的恒定区基因,将鼠可变区基因与人恒定区基因连接成嵌合基因后插入表达载体中,最后在真核系统或原核系统中表达嵌合抗体分子。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,所述的嵌合抗体的抗体轻链进一步包含人源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区。所述的Claudin18.2嵌合抗体的抗体重链进一步包含人源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区,优选包含人源IgG1、IgG2或IgG4重链恒定区,或者使用氨基酸突变(例如L234A和/或L235A突变,和/或S228P突变)的IgG1、IgG2或IgG4变体。
术语“人源化抗体(humanized antibody)”,也称为CDR移植抗体(CDR-grafted antibody),是指将非人物种的CDR序列移植到人的抗体可变区框架,即不同类型的人种系抗体框架序列中产生的抗体。可以克服嵌合抗体由于携带大量异源蛋白成分,从而诱导的异源性反应。此类构架序列可以从包括种系抗体基因序列的公共DNA数据库或公开的参考文献获得。如人重链和轻链可变区基因的种系DNA 序列可以在“VBase”人种系序列数据库(在因特网www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk/vbase可获得),以及在Kabat,E.A.等人,1991Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第5版中找到。为避免免疫原性下降的同时,引起的活性下降,可对所述的人抗体可变区框架序列进行最少反向突变或回复突变,以保持活性。本公开的人源化抗体也包括进一步由酵母菌展示对CDR进行亲和力成熟突变后的人源化抗体。
在本公开一个的实施方案中,所述的抗体或其抗原结合片段,可进一步包含人源或鼠源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区,或进一步包含人源或鼠源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区;优选包含人源IgG1、IgG2或IgG4重链恒定区,或者使用氨基酸突变(例如L234A和/或L235A突变、和/或S228P突变)的IgG1、IgG2或IgG4变体。
本公开中所述人抗体的重链恒定区和人抗体的轻链恒定区的“变体”是指现有技术已公开的来源于人的不改变抗体可变区结构和功能的重链恒定区或轻链恒定区的变体。示例性变体包括对重链恒定区进行定点改造和氨基酸替换的IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或IgG4重链恒定区变体;具体替换如现有技术已知的YTE突变、L234A和/或L235A突变、S228P突变、和/或获得knob-into-hole结构的突变(使抗体重链具有knob-Fc和hole-Fc组合),这些突变已被证实使得抗体具有新的性能,但不改变抗体可变区的功能。
“人抗体”(HuMAb)、“人源抗体”、“全人抗体”、“完全人抗体”可以互换使用,可以是源于人的抗体或者是从一种转基因生物体中获得的抗体,该转基因生物体经“改造”以响应于抗原刺激而产生特异性人抗体,并且可以通过本领域已知的任何方法产生。在某些技术中,将人重链和轻链基因座元件引入到源于胚胎干细胞系的细胞株中,这些细胞株中的内源性重链和轻链基因座遭到靶向破坏。转基因生物可以合成对人抗原特异的人抗体,并且该生物可以用于产生分泌人抗体的杂交瘤。人抗体还可以是一种抗体,其中重链和轻链是由源于一个或多个人DNA来源的核苷酸序列编码的。完全人抗体还可以通过基因或染色体转染方法以及噬菌体展示技术来构建,或者由体外活化的B细胞构建,所有的这些都是本领域已知的。

术语抗体的“抗原结合片段”或“功能片段”是指保持特异性结合抗原(例如, Claudin18.2)的能力的一个或多个片段。已显示可利用全长抗体的片段来进行抗体的抗原结合功能。术语抗体的“抗原结合片段”中包含的结合片段的实例包括(i)Fab片段,由VL、VH、CL和CH1结构域组成的单价片段;(ii)F(ab') 2片段,包含通过铰链区上的二硫桥连接的两个Fab片段的二价片段,(iii)由VH和CH1结构域组成的Fd片段;(iv)由抗体的单臂的VH和VL结构域组成的Fv片段;(v)dsFv,由VH和VL经链间二硫键形成的抗原结合片段;(vi)包含scFv、dsFv、Fab等片段的双抗体、双特异性抗体和多特异性抗体。此外,虽然Fv片段的两个结构域VL和VH,通过合成的接头连接它们,从而使得其能够产生为其中VL和VH区配对形成单价分子的单个蛋白质链(称为单链Fv(scFv);参见,例如,Bird等人(1988)Science242:423-426;和Huston等人(1988)Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci USA85:5879-5883)。此类单链抗体也包括在术语抗体的“抗原结合片段”中。使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术获得此类抗体片段,并且以与对于完整抗体的方式相同的方式就功用性筛选片段。可通过重组DNA技术或通过酶促或化学断裂完整免疫球蛋白来产生抗原结合部分。抗体可以是不同同种型的抗体,例如,IgG(例如,IgG1,IgG2,IgG3或IgG4亚型),IgA1,IgA2,IgD,IgE或IgM抗体。

术语“互补决定区”、“CDR”或“高变区”是指抗体的可变结构域内主要促成抗原结合的6个高变区之一。通常,每个重链可变区中存在三个CDR(HCDR1、HCDR2、HCDR3),每个轻链可变区中存在三个CDR(LCDR1、LCDR2、LCDR3)。可以使用各种公知方案中的任何一种来确定CDR的氨基酸序列边界,包括“Kabat”编号规则(参见Kabat等(1991),“Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest”,第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD)、“Chothia”编号规则(参见Al-Lazikani等人,(1997)JMB 273:927-948)和ImMunoGenTics(IMGT)编号规则(Lefranc M.P.,Immunologist,7,132-136(1999);Lefranc,M.P.等,Dev.Comp.Immunol.,27,55-77(2003)等。例如,对于经典格式,遵循Kabat规则,所述重链可变域(VH)中的CDR氨基酸残基编号为31-35(HCDR1)、50-65(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3);轻链可变域(VL)中的CDR氨基酸残基编号为24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)。遵循Chothia规则,VH中的CDR氨基酸编号为26-32(HCDR1)、52-56(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3);并且VL中的氨基酸残基编号为26-32(LCDR1)、50-52(LCDR2)和91-96(LCDR3)。通过组合Kabat和Chothia两者的CDR定义,CDR由人VH中的氨基酸残基26-35(HCDR1)、50-65(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3)和人VL中的氨基酸残基24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)构成。遵循IMGT规则,VH中的CDR氨基酸残基编号大致为26-35(CDR1)、51-57(CDR2)和93-102(CDR3),VL中的CDR氨基酸残基编号大致为27-32(CDR1)、50-52(CDR2)和89-97(CDR3)。遵循IMGT规则,抗体的CDR区可以使用程序IMGT/DomainGap Align确定。
术语“表位”或“抗原决定簇”是指抗原上被免疫球蛋白或抗体所结合的部位(例如,Claudin18.2分子上的特定部位)。表位通常以独特的空间构象包括至少3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14或15个连续或非连续的氨基酸。参见,例如,Epitope Mapping Protocols in Methods in Molecular B iology,第66卷,G.E.Morris,Ed.(1996)。
术语“特异性结合”、“选择性结合”、“选择性地结合”和“特异性地结合”是指抗体对预先确定的抗原上的表位的结合。通常,抗体以大约小于10 -8M,例如大约小 于10 -9M、10 -10M、10 -11M、10 -12M或更小的亲和力(KD)结合。
术语“KD”是指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的解离平衡常数。通常,本公开的抗体以小于大约10 -7M,例如小于大约10 -8M或10 -9M的解离平衡常数(KD)结合Claudin18.2或其表位,例如,在本公开中抗体与细胞表面抗原的亲和力采用FACS法测定KD值。
当术语“竞争”用于竞争相同表位的抗原结合蛋白的情况中时,意指在抗原结合蛋白之间竞争,其通过以下测定法来测定:在所述测定法中,待检测的抗原结合蛋白(例如抗体或其功能片段)防止或抑制(例如降低)参考抗原结合蛋白(例如配体或参考抗体)与共同抗原(例如Claudin18.2抗原或其片段)的特异性结合。众多类型的竞争性结合测定可用于确定一种抗原结合蛋白是否与另一种竞争,这些测定例如:固相直接或间接放射免疫测定(RIA)、固相直接或间接酶免疫测定(EIA)、夹心竞争测定(参见例如Stahli等,1983,Methodsin Enzymology 9:242-253);固相直接生物素-亲和素EIA(参见例如Kirkland等,1986,J.Immunol.137:3614-3619)、固相直接标记测定、固相直接标记夹心测定(参见例如Harlow和Lane,1988,Antibodies,A Laboratory Manual(抗体,实验室手册),Cold Spring Harbor Press);用I-125标记物的固相直接标记RIA(参见例如Morel等,1988,Molec.Immunol.25:7-15);固相直接生物素-亲和素EIA(参见例如Cheung,等,1990,Virology176:546-552);和直接标记的RIA(Moldenhauer等,1990,Scand.J.Immunol.32:77-82)。通常所述测定法涉及使用结合荷有未标记的检测抗原结合蛋白及标记的参考抗原结合蛋白任一种的固态表面或细胞的纯化的抗原。通过测量在所测抗原结合蛋白存在下结合固态表面或细胞的标记的量来测量竞争性抑制。通常所测抗原结合蛋白过量存在。由竞争性测定(竞争抗原结合蛋白)鉴定的抗原结合蛋白包括:结合与参考抗原结合蛋白同一表位的抗原结合蛋白;和结合充分接近参考抗原结合蛋白的结合表位的邻近表位的抗原结合蛋白,所述两个表位在空间上互相妨碍发生结合。在本文实施例中提供关于用于测定竞争性结合的方法的其它详细资料。通常当竞争的抗原结合蛋白过量存在时,其将抑制(例如降低)至少40-45%、45-50%、50-55%、55-60%、60-65%、65-70%、70-75%或75%或更多参考抗原结合蛋白与共同抗原的特异性结合。在某些情况下,结合被抑制至少80-85%、85-90%、90-95%、95-97%或97%或更多。
本文中使用的术语“核酸分子”是指DNA分子和RNA分子。核酸分子可以是单链或双链的,优选是双链DNA或单链mRNA或修饰的mRNA。当将核酸与另一个核酸序列置于功能关系中时,核酸是“有效连接的”。例如,如果启动子或增强子影响编码序列的转录,那么启动子或增强子有效地连接至所述编码序列。
氨基酸序列“同一性”指在比对氨基酸序列时(必要时引入间隙),以达成最大序列同一性百分比,且不将任何保守性取代视为序列同一性的一部分,第一序列中与第二序列中的氨基酸残基同一的氨基酸残基的百分比。为测定氨基酸序 列同一性百分比,比对可以通过属于本领域技术的范围内的多种方式来实现,例如使用公开可得到的计算机软件,诸如BLAST、BLAST-2、ALIGN、ALIGN-2或Megalign(DNASTAR)软件。本领域技术人员可确定适用于测量比对的参数,包括在所比较的序列全长上达成最大比对所需的任何算法。
术语“表达载体”是指能够运输已与其连接的另一个核酸的核酸分子。在一个实施方案中,载体是“质粒”,其是指可将另外的DNA区段连接至其中的环状双链DNA环。在另一个实施方案中,载体是病毒载体,其中可将另外的DNA区段连接至病毒基因组中。本文中公开的载体能够在已引入它们的宿主细胞中自主复制(例如,具有细菌的复制起点的细菌载体和附加型哺乳动物载体)或可在引入宿主细胞后整合入宿主细胞的基因组,从而随宿主基因组一起复制(例如,非附加型哺乳动物载体)。
现有技术中熟知生产和纯化抗体和抗原结合片段的方法,如冷泉港的抗体实验技术指南,5-8章和15章。例如,鼠可以用人Claudin18.2或其片段免疫,所得到的抗体能被复性、纯化,并且可以用常规的方法进行氨基酸测序。抗原结合片段同样可以用常规方法制备。发明所述的抗体或抗原结合片段用基因工程方法在非人源的CDR区加上一个或多个人源FR区。人FR种系序列可以通过比对IMGT人类抗体可变区种系基因数据库和MOE软件,从ImMunoGeneTics(IMGT)的网站http://imgt.cines.fr得到,或者从免疫球蛋白杂志,2001ISBN012441351上获得。
术语“宿主细胞”是指已向其中引入了表达载体的细胞。宿主细胞可包括细菌、微生物、植物或动物细胞。易于转化的细菌包括肠杆菌科(enterobacteriaceae)的成员,例如大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)或沙门氏菌(Salmonella)的菌株;芽孢杆菌科(Bacillaceae)例如枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis);肺炎球菌(Pneumococcus);链球菌(Streptococcus)和流感嗜血菌(Haemophilus influenzae)。适当的微生物包括酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)和毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris)。适当的动物宿主细胞系包括CHO(中国仓鼠卵巢细胞系)、293细胞和NS0细胞。
本公开的抗体或抗原结合片段可用常规方法制备和纯化。比如,编码重链和轻链的cDNA序列,可以克隆并重组至表达载体。重组的免疫球蛋白表达载体可以稳定地转染宿主细胞。作为一种更推荐的现有技术,哺乳动物类表达系统会导致抗体的糖基化,特别是在Fc区的高度保守N端位点。通过表达与人Claudin18.2特异性结合的抗体得到稳定的克隆。阳性的克隆在生物反应器中扩大培养以生产抗体。分泌了抗体的培养液可以用常规技术纯化。比如,用含调整过的缓冲液的A或G Sepharose FF柱进行纯化。洗去非特异性结合的组分。再用pH梯度法洗脱结合的抗体,用SDS-PAGE检测抗体片段,收集。抗体可用常规方法进行过滤浓缩。可溶的混合物和多聚体,也可以用常规方法去除,比如分子筛、离子交换。得到的产物需立即冷冻,如-70℃,或者冻干。
“施用”、“给予”和“处理”当应用于动物、人、实验受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体时,是指外源性药物、治疗剂、诊断剂或组合物与动物、人、受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体的接触。“施用”、“给予”和“处理”可以指例如治疗、药物代谢动力学、诊断、研究和实验方法。细胞的处理包括试剂与细胞的接触,以及试剂与流体的接触,其中所述流体与细胞接触。“施用”、“给予”和“处理”还意指通过试剂、诊断、结合组合物或通过另一种细胞体外和离体处理例如细胞。“处理”当应用于人、兽医学或研究受试者时,是指治疗处理、预防或预防性措施,研究和诊断应用。
“治疗”意指给予患者内用或外用治疗剂,例如包含本公开的任一种抗体或抗原结合片段的组合物,所述患者具有一种或多种疾病症状,而已知所述治疗剂对这些症状具有治疗作用。通常,在受治疗患者或群体中以有效缓解一种或多种疾病症状的量给予治疗剂,以诱导这类症状退化或抑制这类症状发展到任何临床右测量的程度。有效缓解任何具体疾病症状的治疗剂的量(也称作“治疗有效量”)可根据多种因素变化,例如患者的疾病状态、年龄和体重,以及药物在患者产生需要疗效的能力。通过医生或其它专业卫生保健人士通常用于评价该症状的严重性或进展状况的任何临床检测方法,可评价疾病症状是否已被减轻。尽管本公开的实施方案(例如治疗方法或制品)在缓解每个目标疾病症状方面可能无效,但是根据本领域已知的任何统计学检验方法如Student t检验、卡方检验、依据Mann和Whitney的U检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验(H检验)、Jonckheere-Terpstra检验和Wilcoxon检验确定,其在统计学显著数目的患者中应当减轻目标疾病症状。
“保守修饰”或“保守置换或取代”是指具有类似特征(例如电荷、侧链大小、疏水性/亲水性、主链构象和刚性等)的其它氨基酸置换蛋白中的氨基酸,使得可频繁进行改变而不改变蛋白的生物学活性。本领域技术人员知晓,一般而言,多肽的非必需区域中的单个氨基酸置换基本上不改变生物学活性(参见例如Watson等(1987)Molecular Biology of the Gene,The Benjamin/Cummings Pub.Co.,第224页,(第4版))。另外,结构或功能类似的氨基酸的置换不大可能破环生物学活性。示例性保守取代于下表“示例性氨基酸保守取代”中陈述。
