Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. More specifically, the present invention relates to an antibody against FXI and/or FXIa; it also relates to the use of the antibody in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases or disorders related to coagulation or thromboembolism the use of.
  • thrombosis or embolism involves various organs of the body, mainly heart, brain and peripheral vascular diseases. It has the characteristics of high incidence, high disability and lethality, and is the first cause of death caused by cardiovascular diseases.
  • the prevention and treatment drugs for thrombotic diseases mainly include anticoagulant, antiplatelet and thrombolytic drugs; among them, anticoagulant drugs are mainly used to prevent and treat venous thromboembolism caused by various reasons; in addition, they can also be used Prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and anticoagulant therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
  • anticoagulant drugs There is a large market demand for anticoagulant drugs, and there are drugs available for clinical use.
  • anticoagulant drugs mainly inhibits the common pathway of coagulation cascade, so bleeding is the main complication.
  • Traditional anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, and new drugs that have been on the market in recent years, such as FXa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, etc.) and thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran etexilate) , Hirudin, etc.), all have a good effect on reducing thrombosis, but they all face a common deficiency-may cause bleeding complications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for anticoagulants with low bleeding risk.
  • Factor XI participates in the endogenous coagulation cascade, and its active form is factor XIa (FXIa).
  • FXI protein is a dimer formed by two homologous monomers with a molecular weight of about 80kDa through disulfide bonds. The FXI monomer is composed of four apple domains and one catalytic domain. It is catalyzed by coagulation factor XIIa (FXIIa) to form FXIa and exposes the binding site of FIX. After binding to FIX, it promotes the conversion of FIX into active FIXa, which activates Downstream coagulation cascade.
  • the concentration of coagulation factor XI in mammalian plasma is about 25-30 nM. It is a glycoprotein in the form of zymogen. Almost all FXI forms a complex with high molecular weight kininogen (HK) and circulates in the blood. The impact of HK on FXI functions is still unclear so far. HK may assist FXI to bind to platelets or endothelial cells, indicating that HK has also been observed to inhibit FXI activation.
  • FXI The activation process of FXI is under the action of different proteases, each monomer is cleaved between its Arg369-Ile370 to produce a protein, which consists of an approximately 50kDa heavy chain containing an apple domain and an approximately 30kDa catalytic structure.
  • the domain consists of the light chain, and the heavy chain and the light chain are connected by the disulfide bond formed by Cys362-Cys482.
  • Activated FXI, FXIa usually refers to the dimer FXI each monomer is cleaved at Arg369, but there are cases where only one monomer is activated.
  • FXIa cleaves FIX with the participation of Ca 2+ , turning it into activated FIX (FIXa), which then converts coagulation factor X into its active form Xa.
  • FIXa can then mediate factor II/thrombin activation.
  • Thrombin as the terminal protease in the coagulation cascade, can further promote the production of FXIa by directly activating FXI through a feedback mechanism.
  • Both factor XIIa and FXIa (self-activation) in the coagulation cascade can convert FXI to FXIa.
  • FIX/FIXa activated FIX
  • FIX/FIXa can directly bind to platelets, promote the formation of platelet aggregates in the blood, and form distal microvascular occlusion. Therefore, FIX/FIXa promotes thrombosis through a variety of ways. And animal experiments and clinical observations show that the lack of FIX/FIXa has only a minimal risk of bleeding. Therefore, FIX/FIXa is an ideal target for preventing and treating diseases/disorders related to coagulation or thromboembolism. (Zilberman-Rudenko J.et.al. Coagulation factor XI promotes remote platelet activation and single platelet connsumpation in the bloodstream under shear flow.
  • FXIa molecules that regulate the coagulation function include, but are not limited to: the formation of FXI and/or FXIa dimers; molecules that hinder the activation of FXI, such as coagulation factor XIIa, FXIa, contact with FXI to inhibit or hinder Cut off the activation of FXI; inhibit or block the formation of complexes between FXI and HK; block the catalytic domain of FXI and/or FXIa, or induce conformational changes in the catalytic domain, thereby deactivating FXI and/or FXIa, thereby inhibiting or preventing Cut off the activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway; inhibit or block the binding of FXI and/or FXIa to the substrate.
  • Bayer's FXIa antibody drug BAY-1213790 for venous embolism is in phase II clinical trials.
  • BAY-1213790 comes from a phage display library and binds to the FXIa catalytic domain.
  • Aronora's AB-023 (14E11) venous embolization indication is in clinical phase I
  • ESRD end-stage renal disease
  • the inventors first developed a murine antibody with excellent properties, which can specifically recognize FXI and/or FXIa. On this basis, the inventors have paid a lot of creative work to carry out in-depth research and modification of the mouse antibody, thereby developing a humanized antibody of the mouse antibody.
  • the antibodies of the present invention are extremely advantageous, which not only retain (or even improve) the functions and properties of the parent murine antibody, for example, bind to FXI and/or with high affinity and specificity.
  • FXIa thus has the potential for preventing and treating coagulation or thromboembolic disorders, and has a very high degree of humanization, and can be safely administered to human subjects without causing immunogenic reactions. Therefore, the antibody of the present invention has great clinical value.

Description

抗FXI/FXIa抗体及其用途 技术领域
本发明属于治疗性单克隆抗体领域,更具体地,本发明涉及一种针对FXI和/或FXIa的抗体;还涉及所述抗体在预防和/或治疗与凝血或血栓栓塞相关的疾病或病症中的用途。
技术背景
血栓形成或栓塞涉及全身各系统器官,主要是心、脑和外周血管疾病,具有高发、高致残和致死性特点,是心血管疾病导致死亡的第一位死因。目前,血栓性疾病的防治药物主要包括抗凝血、抗血小板和溶栓这三类药物;其中,抗凝药物临床主要用于预防与治疗各种原因引起的静脉血栓栓塞;此外,还可用于预防房颤患者的脑卒中及急性冠脉综合征患者的抗凝治疗。抗凝药物市场需求大,已有药物可供临床选用,但是目前临床使用的抗凝药物主要抑制凝血级联反应的共同途径,因此出血是主要的并发症。传统的抗凝药物,如华法林、肝素、低分子量肝素,以及近年上市的新药,如FXa抑制剂(利伐沙班、阿哌沙班等)和凝血酶抑制剂(达比加群酯、水蛭素等),对减少血栓形成均具有较好效果,但都面临着共同的不足——可能引起出血并发症。因此,临床急切需求出血风险小的抗凝药物。
凝血因子XI(FXI)参与内源性凝血级联反应,其活性形式为凝血因子XIa(FXIa)。FXI蛋白是由两个分子量大约80kDa的同源单体通过二硫键形成的二聚体。FXI单体由四个苹果结构域和一个催化结构域组成,并由凝血因子XIIa(FXIIa)催化形成FXIa后暴露出FIX的结合位点,与FIX结合后促进FIX转变为有活性的FIXa,激活下游凝血级联反应。凝血因子XI在哺乳动物血浆中浓度大约是25-30nM,是一种以酶原形式存在的糖蛋白,几乎所有的FXI与高分子量激肽原(HK)形成复合物并在血液中循环。HK对FXI功能的影响目前为止还是不是很清楚。HK可能协助FXI结合到血小板或内皮细胞表明,也有研究观察到HK抑制FXI的活化。FXI的活化过程是在不同的蛋白酶的作用下,每个单体在其Arg369-Ile370之间裂解,产生一个蛋白,该蛋白由一个大约50kDa含有苹果结构域的重链和一个大约30kDa含有催化结构域的轻链组成,重链和轻链之间由Cys362-Cys482形成的二硫键连接。活化的FXI,既FXIa,通常指的二聚体FXI的每个单体都在Arg369裂解,但也有只有一个单体被活化的情况。FXIa在Ca 2+ 参与下裂解FIX,使其变成活化的FIX(FIXa),其随后转化凝血因子X成其活性形式Xa。Xa接着可介导凝血因子II/凝血酶活化。凝血酶作为凝血级联中的末端蛋白酶,可通过以反馈机制直接活化FXI来进一步促成FXIa产生。凝血级联中的凝血因子XIIa与FXIa(自身活化)都能使FXI转化为FXIa。
此外,活化的FIX(FIXa)能直接与血小板结合,促进血液中血小板聚集物形成,并在形成远端微血管闭塞。因此,FIX/FIXa通过多种途径促进血栓形成。并且动物实验和临床观察表明FIX/FIXa的缺失只有极小的出血风险。所以,FIX/FIXa是理想的预防和治疗与凝血或血栓栓塞相关的疾病/病症的极好靶点。(Zilberman-Rudenko J.et.al.Coagulation factor XI promotes distal platelet activation and single platelet connsumpation in the bloodstream under shear flow.Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol.2016 March;36(3):510–517.)通过干预FXI和/或FXIa分子从而调节凝血功能的因素包括,但不限于:FXI和/或FXIa二聚体的形成;阻碍能使FXI活化的分子,如凝血因子XIIa,FXIa,与FXI接触,从而抑制或阻断FXI的活化;抑制或阻断FXI与HK形成复合物;封闭FXI和/或FXIa的催化结构域,或诱导催化结构域构象发生变化,从而使FXI和/或FXIa失活,进而抑制或阻断内在凝血途径的激活;抑制或阻断FXI和/或FXIa与底物的结合。
目前,拜耳公司的FXIa抗体药物BAY-1213790静脉栓塞适应症正处于II期临床试验。BAY-1213790来自噬菌体展示文库,并与FXIa催化结构域结合。另外Aronora公司的AB-023(14E11)静脉栓塞适应症处于临床I期,终末期肾病(ESRD)适应症处于临床II期。
目前并无靶向FXIa抗体药物上市,因此,发展具有更高的特异性、更低的毒副作用、更优的临床药效、更方便给药方式的抗FXI和/或FXIa抗体是迫切而必要的,这将给患者提供更多的用药选择。
发明内容
在本申请中,发明人首先开发了具有优良性质的鼠源抗体,其能够特异性识别FXI和/或FXIa。在此基础上,发明人又付出了大量的创造性劳动,对该鼠源抗体进行了深入的研究和改造,从而开发了该鼠源抗体的人源化抗体。
本发明的抗体(特别是人源化抗体)是极为有利的,其不仅保留了(或甚至提高了)亲本鼠源抗体的功能和性质,例如以很高的亲和力和特异性结合FXI和/或FXIa,从而具 有用于预防和治疗凝血或血栓栓塞病症的潜力,而且具有极高的人源化程度,可安全地施用给人受试者,而不引发免疫原性反应。所以本发明的抗体具有重大的临床价值。

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。并且,本文中所用的细胞培养、生物化学、核酸化学、免疫学等实验室操作步骤均为相应领域内广泛使用的常规步骤。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。
如本文中所使用的,术语“FXI蛋白”、“FXI抗原”及“FXI”可互换使用,且是指各种物种的凝血因子XI蛋白。术语“FXIa蛋白”、“FXIa抗原”及“FXIa”可互换使用,且是指各种物种的活化的凝血因子XI蛋白。术语“FXI”及“FXIa”(及其类似术语)分别包括天然FXI及FXIa蛋白的突变体及变体,所述突变体及变体具有与本发明所述的天然一级结构(氨基酸序列)大体上相同的氨基酸序列。
在本文中,术语“凝血及凝血级联”、“凝血级联模型”及其类似术语是公知的,指凝血途径通过蛋白水解级联最终产生凝血酶,接着使可溶性血纤维蛋白原转化为形成凝块的纤维蛋白。该途径的各种酶以酶原形式(非活性形式)存在于血浆中,其在活化时经历蛋白水解分裂自身前体分子释放活性凝血因子。产生凝血酶的过程可划分为三个阶段:内在及外来途径,及最终共同途径。
如本文中所使用的,术语“抗体”是指,通常由两对多肽链(每对具有一条轻链(LC)和一条重链(HC))组成的免疫球蛋白分子。抗体轻链可分类为κ(kappa)和λ(lambda)轻链。重链可分类为μ、δ、γ、α或ε,并且分别将抗体的同种型定义为IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE。在轻链和重链内,可变区和恒定区通过大约12或更多个氨基酸的“J”区连接,重链还包含大约3个或更多个氨基酸的“D”区。各重链由重链可变区(VH)和重链恒定区(CH)组成。重链恒定区由3个结构域(CH1、CH2和CH3)组成。各轻链由轻链可变区(VL)和轻链恒定区(CL)组成。轻链恒定区由一个结构域CL组成。恒定结构域不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但展现出多种效应子功能,如可介导免疫球蛋白与宿主组织或因子,包括免疫系统的各种细胞(例如,效应细胞)和经典补体系统的第一组分(C1q)的结合。VH和VL区还可被细分为具有高变性的区域(称为互补决定区(CDR)),其间散布有较保守的称为构架区(FR)的区域。各VH和VL由按下列顺序:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4 从氨基末端至羧基末端排列的3个CDRs和4个FRs组成。各重链/轻链对的可变区(VH和VL)分别形成抗原结合部位。氨基酸在各区域或结构域的分配可遵循IMGT、Kabat、Chothia或AbM等编号系统定义。
在本文中,除非上下文明确指出,否则当提及术语“抗体”时,其不仅包括完整抗体,而且包括抗体的抗原结合片段。
如本文中所使用的,术语“互补决定区”或“CDR”是指抗体可变区中负责抗原结合的氨基酸残基。这些氨基酸残基的精确边界可根据本领域已知的各种编号系统进行定义,例如可按照Kabat编号系统(Kabat et al.,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,5th Ed.Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,Md.,1991)、Chothia编号系统(Chothia&Lesk(1987)J.Mol.Biol.196:901-917;Chothia等人(1989)Nature 342:878-883)、IMGT编号系统(Lefranc et al.,Dev.Comparat.Immunol.27:55-77,2003)、或AbM编号系统(Martin ACR,Cheetham JC,Rees AR,Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:9268–9272,1989)中的定义。对于给定的抗体,本领域技术人员可以容易地鉴别各编号系统所定义的CDR。并且,不同编号系统之间的对应关系是本领域技术人员熟知的(例如,可参见Lefranc et al.,Dev.Comparat.Immunol.27:55-77,2003)。
如本文中所使用的,术语“构架区”或“FR”残基是指,抗体可变区中除了如上定义的CDR残基以外的那些氨基酸残基。
如本文中所使用的,术语“胚系抗体基因”是由非淋巴细胞编码的免疫球蛋白序列,它没有经历导致表达特异免疫球蛋白的遗传学重排及成熟的过程。本发明的各种实施方案所提供的一个优点来源于一种认识,那就是胚系抗体基因比成熟抗体基因更多地保留了动物物种个体的特征性的重要氨基酸序列结构。因此当被治疗性应用于该物种时,更少地被该物种识别为外源物质。
术语“抗体”不受任何特定的产生抗体的方法限制。例如,其包括,重组抗体、单克隆抗体和多克隆抗体。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。
如本文中所使用的,术语抗体的“抗原结合片段”是指抗体全长或部分片段的多肽,例如全长抗体的片段的多肽,其保持特异性结合全长抗体所结合的相同抗原的能力,和/或与全长抗体竞争对抗原的特异性结合,其也被称为“抗原结合部分”。通常参见,Fundamental Immunology,Ch.7(Paul,W.,ed.,第2版,Raven Press,N.Y.(1989), 以其全文通过引用合并入本文,用于所有目的。可通过重组DNA技术或通过完整抗体的酶促或化学断裂产生抗体的抗原结合片段。抗原结合片段的非限制性实例包括Fab、Fab’、F(ab’) 2、Fd、Fv、dAb和互补决定区(CDR)片段、单链抗体(例如,scFv)、嵌合抗体、双抗体(diabody)、线性抗体(linear antibody)、纳米抗体(技术来自Domantis)、结构域抗体(技术来自Ablynx)、和足以具有全长抗体的特异性抗原结合能力的小片段的多肽。工程改造的抗体变体综述于Holliger等,2005;Nat Biotechnol,23:1126-1136中。
如本文中所使用的,术语“全长抗体”意指,由两条“全长重链”或“重链”和两条“全长轻链”或“轻链”组成的抗体。其中,“全长重链”或“重链”是指这样的多肽链,其在N端到C端的方向上由重链可变区(VH)、重链恒定区CH1结构域、铰链区(HR)、重链恒定区CH2结构域、重链恒定区CH3结构域组成;并且,当所述全长抗体为IgE同种型时,任选地还包括重链恒定区CH4结构域。优选地,“全长重链”是在N端到C端方向上由VH、CH1、HR、CH2和CH3组成的多肽链。“全长轻链”或“轻链”是在N端到C端方向上由轻链可变区(VL)和轻链恒定区(CL)组成的多肽链。两对全长抗体链通过在CL和CH1之间的二硫键和两条全长重链的HR之间的二硫键连接在一起。本发明的全长抗体可以来自单一物种,例如人;也可以是嵌合抗体或人源化抗体。本发明的全长抗体包含分别由VH和VL对形成的两个抗原结合部位,这两个抗原结合部位特异性识别/结合相同的抗原。
如本文中所使用的,术语“Fd片段”意指由VH和CH1结构域组成的抗体片段;术语“dAb片段”意指由VH结构域组成的抗体片段(Ward等人,Nature 341:544 546(1989));术语“Fab片段”意指由VL、VH、CL和CH1结构域组成的抗体片段;术语“F(ab’) 2片段”意指包含通过铰链区上的二硫桥连接的两个Fab片段的抗体片段;术语“Fab’片段”意指还原连接F(ab’) 2片段中两个重链片段的二硫键后所获片段,由一条完整的轻链和重链的Fd片段(由VH和CH1结构域组成)组成。
如本文中所使用的,术语“Fv片段”意指由抗体的单臂的VL和VH结构域组成的抗体片段。Fv片段通常被认为是,能形成完整的抗原结合位点的最小抗体片段。一般认为,六个CDR赋予抗体的抗原结合特异性。然而,即便是一个可变区(例如Fd片段,其仅仅含有三个对抗原特异的CDR)也能够识别并结合抗原,尽管其亲和力可能低于完整的结合位点。
如本文中所使用的,术语“Fc片段”意指,由抗体的第一重链的第二、第三恒定区与第二重链的第二、第三恒定区经二硫键结合而形成的抗体片段。抗体的Fc片段具有多种不同的功能,但不参与抗原的结合。
如本文中所使用的,术语“scFv”是指,包含VL和VH结构域的单个多肽链,其中所 述VL和VH通过接头(linker)相连(参见,例如,Bird等人,Science 242:423-426(1988);Huston等人,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 85:5879-5883(1988);和Pluckthun,The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies,第113卷,Roseburg和Moore编,Springer-Verlag,纽约,第269-315页(1994))。此类scFv分子可具有一般结构:NH2-VL-接头-VH-COOH或NH2-VH-接头-VL-COOH。合适的现有技术接头由重复的GGGGS氨基酸序列或其变体组成。例如,可使用具有氨基酸序列(GGGGS)4的接头,但也可使用其变体(Holliger等人(1993),Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 90:6444-6448)。可用于本发明的其他接头由Alfthan等人(1995),Protein Eng.8:725-731,Choi等人(2001),Eur.J.Immunol.31:94-106,Hu等人(1996),Cancer Res.56:3055-3061,Kipriyanov等人(1999),J.Mol.Biol.293:41-56和Roovers等人(2001),Cancer Immunol.描述。在一些情况下,scFv的VH与VL之间还可以存在二硫键。如本文中所使用的,术语“di-scFv”是指,由两个scFv连接形成的抗体片段。
如本文中所使用的,术语“双抗体(diabody)”意指,其VH和VL结构域在单个多肽链上表达,但使用太短的连接体以致不允许在相同链的两个结构域之间配对,从而迫使结构域与另一条链的互补结构域配对并且产生两个抗原结合部位(参见,例如,Holliger P.等人,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 90:6444-6448(1993),和Poljak R.J.等人,Structure 2:1121-1123(1994))。
上述各个抗体片段均保持了特异性结合全长抗体所结合的相同抗原的能力,和/或与全长抗体竞争对抗原的特异性结合。
如本文中所使用的,术语“多特异性抗体”是指具有多种不同抗原结合特异性的抗体,包括例如:双特异性抗体,三特异性抗体和四特异性抗体。“双特异性抗体”是指,具有两种不同抗原结合特异性的抗体,其由第一抗体(或其片段)和第二抗体(或其片段)或抗体类似物通过偶联臂所形成的偶联物,偶联的方式包括但不限于化学反应、基因融合,蛋白融合,多肽融合和酶促反应。三特异性抗体是具有三种不同抗原结合特异性的抗体,四特异性抗体是具有四种不同抗原结合特异性的抗体。
如本文中所使用的,“抗体类似物(antibody mimetic)”,指与抗体一样特异性结合抗原,但却没有抗体结构。它们通常是人工肽或蛋白质,摩尔质量约为3至20kDa。例如,锚蛋白重复蛋白(DARPin)和fynomer。经设计的锚蛋白重复蛋白(DARPin)可以与IgG抗体、scFv-Fc抗体片段或其组合相连,如CN104341529A所述。抗IL-17a的fynomer与抗IL-6R抗体结合,如WO2015141862A1所述。
如本文中所使用的,术语“免疫球蛋白”或“Ig”可以指作为抗体起作用的一类蛋白质。由B细胞表达的抗体有时称为抗原受体。包括在这类蛋白质中的五个成员是IgA、IgG、IgM、IgD和IgE,其中IgG是最常见的循环抗体。它是凝集、补体固定和其他抗体反应中最有效的免疫球蛋白,在防御细菌和病毒方面是重要的。
在本文中,获得抗体的技术可使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术(例如,重组DNA技术或酶促或化学断裂法)从给定的抗体(例如本发明提供的抗体)获得抗体的抗原结合片段(例如,上述抗体片段),并且以与用于完整抗体的方式相同的方式就特异性筛选抗体的抗原结合片段。
如本文中所使用的,术语“单克隆抗体”、“单抗”、“mAb”具有相同的含义且可互换使用可互换,其是指,来自一群高度同源的抗体分子中的一个抗体或抗体的一个片段,也即,除可能自发出现的自然突变外,一群完全相同的抗体分子。单抗对抗原上的单一表位具有高特异性。多克隆抗体是相对于单克隆抗体而言的,其通常包含至少2种或更多种的不同抗体,这些不同的抗体通常识别抗原上的不同表位。此外,修饰语“单克隆”仅表明该抗体的特征为从高度同源的抗体群中获得,不能理解为需要通过任何特定方法来制备所述抗体。
本发明的单克隆抗体可以通过多种技术进行制备,例如杂交瘤技术(参见,例如Kohler等人.Nature,256:495,1975),重组DNA技术(参见,例如美国专利申请4,816,567),或噬菌体抗体库技术(参见,例如Clackson等.Nature352:624-628,1991,或Marks等.J.Mol.Biol.222:581-597,1991)。
例如,可以如下来制备单克隆抗体。首先用免疫原(必要时候添加佐剂)免疫注射小鼠或其它合适的宿主动物。免疫原或佐剂的注射方式通常为皮下多点注射或腹腔注射。可将免疫原预先偶联到某些已知蛋白,如血清白蛋白或大豆胰酶抑制剂上,以增强抗原在宿主内的免疫原性。佐剂可以是弗氏佐剂或MPL-TDM等。动物在接受免疫后,体内将产生分泌特异性结合免疫原的抗体的淋巴细胞。另外,淋巴细胞也可以利用体外免疫获得。收集目的淋巴细胞,并用合适的融合剂,如PEG,使其与骨髓瘤细胞融合以获得杂交瘤细胞(Goding,Monoclonal Antibodies:Principles and Practice,pp.59-103,Academic Press,1996)。上述制备的杂交瘤细胞可以接种到合适的培养液中生长,培养液中优选含有一种或多种能够抑制未融合的、母体骨髓瘤细胞生长的物质。例如,对于缺乏次黄嘌呤鸟嘌呤磷酸转移酶(HGPRT或HPRT)的母体骨髓瘤细胞,在培养液中添加次黄嘌呤、氨基喋呤和胸腺嘧啶(HAT培养基)等物质将可以抑制HGPRT-缺陷细胞的生长。优选的骨髓瘤细胞 应该具有融合率高,抗体分泌能力稳定,对HAT培养液敏感等特征。其中,骨髓瘤细胞首选鼠源骨髓瘤,如MOP-21或MC-11小鼠肿瘤衍生株(THE Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center,San Diego,Calif.USA),和SP-2/0或X63-Ag8-653细胞株(American Type Culture Collection,Rockville,Md.USA)。另外也有研究报道,利用人骨髓瘤和人鼠异源骨髓瘤细胞株制备人单抗(Kozbor,J.Immunol.,133:3001(1984);Brodeur et al.,Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications,pp.51-63,Marcel Dekker,Inc.,New York,1987)。生长杂交瘤细胞的培养液用于检测针对特异抗原的单抗的产生。测定杂交瘤细胞产生的单抗的结合特异性的方法包括例如,免疫沉淀或体外结合试验,如放射免疫试验(RIA)、酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)。例如,可利用Munson等在Anal.Biochem.107:220(1980)描述的Scatchard分析法来测定单抗的亲和力。当确定了杂交瘤产生的抗体的特异性、亲和力和反应性之后,目的细胞株可以通过(Goding,Monoclonal Antibodies:Principles and Practice,pp.59-103,Academic Press,1996)所描述的标准的有限稀释法进行亚克隆化。合适的培养液可以是DMEM或RPMI-1640等。另外,杂交瘤细胞还可以以腹水瘤的形式在动物体内生长。利用传统的免疫球蛋白纯化方法,如蛋白A琼脂糖凝胶、羟基磷灰石层析、凝胶电泳、透析或亲和层析等,可以将亚克隆细胞分泌的单抗从细胞培养液、腹水或血清中分离出来。
还可以通过基因工程重组技术获得单克隆抗体。利用特异性结合单抗重链和轻链基因的核酸引物进行PCR扩增,可以从杂交瘤细胞中分离得到编码单抗重链和轻链基因的DNA分子。将所得的DNA分子插入表达载体内,然后转染宿主细胞(如E.coli细胞、COS细胞、CHO细胞、或其它不产生免疫球蛋白的骨髓瘤细胞),并在合适的条件下进行培养,可以获得重组表达的目标抗体。
抗体可通过公知的技术,例如使用蛋白A或蛋白G的亲和层析进行纯化。可将特异性抗原(该抗体识别的靶分子)或其抗原表位固定在柱上,并通过免疫亲合层析法来纯化免疫特异性抗体。免疫球蛋白的纯化可参考例如D.Wilkinson(The Scientist,published by The Scientist,Inc.,Philadelphia Pa.,Vol.14,No.8(Apr.17,2000),pp.25-28)。
如本文中所使用的,术语“鼠源抗体”是指,通过将免疫接种过的小鼠的B细胞与骨髓瘤细胞融合,继而筛选出既能无限增殖又能分泌抗体的鼠杂交融合细胞,进而进行筛选、抗体制备和抗体纯化而获得的抗体;或者,由于抗原侵入小鼠体后B细胞分化增殖而形成浆细胞,浆细胞可产生分泌的抗体。
如本文中所使用的,术语“嵌合抗体(Chimeric antibody)”是指,这样的抗体,其 轻链或/和重链的一部分源自一个抗体(其可以源自某一特定物种或属于某一特定抗体类或亚类),且轻链或/和重链的另一部分源自另一个抗体(其可以源自相同或不同的物种或属于相同或不同的抗体类或亚类),但无论如何,其仍保留对目标抗原的结合活性(U.S.Patent 4,816,567 to Cabilly et al.;Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA,81:6851 6855(1984))。例如,术语“嵌合抗体”可包括这样的抗体(例如人鼠嵌合抗体),其中抗体的重链和轻链可变区来自第一抗体(例如鼠源抗体),而抗体的重链和轻链恒定区来自第二抗体(例如人抗体)。
如本文中所使用的,术语“人源化抗体”是指,经基因工程改造的非人源抗体,其氨基酸序列经修饰以提高与人源抗体的序列的同源性。通常而言,人源化抗体的全部或部分CDR区来自于非人源抗体(供体抗体),全部或部分的非CDR区(例如,可变区FR和/或恒定区)来自于人源免疫球蛋白(受体抗体)。人源化抗体通常保留了供体抗体的预期性质,包括但不限于,抗原特异性、亲和性、反应性、提高免疫细胞活性的能力、增强免疫应答的能力等。供体抗体可以是有预期性质(例如,抗原特异性、亲和性、反应性、提高免疫细胞活性的能力和/或增强免疫应答的能力)的小鼠、大鼠、兔或非人灵长类动物(例如,食蟹猴)抗体。
人源化抗体既能够保留非人源供体抗体(例如鼠源抗体)的预期性质,又能够有效降低非人源供体抗体(例如鼠源抗体)在人受试者中的免疫原性,因此,是特别有利的。然而,由于供体抗体的CDR与受体抗体的FR之间的匹配问题,人源化抗体的预期性质(例如,抗原特异性、亲和性、反应性、提高免疫细胞活性的能力和/或增强免疫应答的能力)通常低于非人源供体抗体(例如鼠源抗体)。
因此,尽管本领域的研究人员已对抗体的人源化展开了深入的研究,并取得了一些进展(参见例如,Jones et al.,Nature,321:522 525(1986);Reichmann et al.,Nature,332:323 329(1988);Presta,Curr.Op.Struct.Biol.,2:593 596(1992);and Clark,Immunol.Today 21:397 402(2000)),但是,如何对某一供体抗体进行充分的人源化,以使得所产生的人源化抗体既具有尽可能高的人源化程度,又能够尽可能地保留供体抗体的预期性质,现有技术并没有提供详尽的指导。技术人员需要针对具体供体抗体进行摸索、探究和改造,付出大量的创造性劳动才有可能获得,既具有高人源化程度(例如至少75%、至少80%、至少85%、至少90%、至少91%、至少92%、至少93%、至少94%、至少95%、至少96%、至少97%、至少98%、至少99%的人源化程度)、又保留具体供体抗体的预期性质的人源化抗体。
在本发明中,为了使人源化抗体尽可能保留供体抗体的性质(包括例如,抗原特异性、亲和性、反应性、提高免疫细胞活性的能力和/或增强免疫应答的能力),本发明的人源化抗体中构架区(FR)可以既包含人源受体抗体的氨基酸残基,也包含相应的非人源供体抗体的氨基酸残基。
本发明的嵌合抗体或人源化抗体可以根据上述制备的鼠单克隆抗体的序列进行制备。编码重链和轻链的DNA可以从目标鼠杂交瘤中获得,并且使用标准分子生物学技术进行工程改造以包含非鼠(例如人)免疫球蛋白序列。
为制备嵌合抗体,可使用本领域已知的方法将鼠免疫球蛋白可变区连接至人免疫球蛋白恒定区(参见例如Cabilly等人的美国专利No.4,816,567)。例如,将编码VH的DNA可操作的连接至编码重链恒定区的另一DNA分子以获得全长重链基因。人重链恒定区基因的序列是本领域已知的(参见例如Kabat,E.A.等人(1991)Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,Fifth Edition,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,NIH Publication No.91-3242),包含这些区的DNA片段可以通过标准PCR扩增获得。重链恒定区可以是IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA、IgE、IgM或IgD恒定区,但是通常优选为IgG1或IgG4恒定区。例如,将编码VL的DNA可操作的连接至编码轻链恒定区CL的另一DNA分子以获得全长轻链基因(以及Fab轻链基因)。人轻链恒定区基因的序列是本领域已知的(参见例如Kabat,E.A.等人(1991)Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,Fifth Edition,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,NIH Publication No.91-3242),包含这些区的DNA片段可以通过标准PCR扩增获得。轻链恒定区可以是κ或λ恒定区,但通常优选为κ恒定区。
为制备人源化抗体,可以使用本领域已知的方法将鼠CDR区插入人源框架序列(参见Winter的美国专利No.5,225,539;Queen等人的美国专利Nos.5,530,101;5,585,089;5,693,762和6,180,370;以及Lo,Benny,K.C.,editor,in Antibody Engineering:Methods and Protocols,volume 248,Humana Press,New Jersey,2004)。或者,还可以利用转基因动物,其能够在免疫后不产生内源性免疫球蛋白、并且能够产生完整人抗体库。例如,已有报道在嵌合和种系突变小鼠中抗体重链连接区(JH)基因的纯合缺失可以完全抑制了内源性抗体产生,然后将人种系免疫球蛋白基因阵列转移到所述种系突变小鼠中将导致该小鼠在遇到抗原刺激时产生人抗体(参见例如,Jakobovits等,1993,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 90:2551;Jakobovits等,1993,Nature362:255-258;Bruggermann等,1993,Year in Immunology 7:33;和Duchosal等,1992,Nature 355: 258)。上述转基因动物的非限制性实例包括,HuMAb小鼠(Medarex,Inc.),其含有编码未重排的人重链(μ和γ)和κ轻链免疫球蛋白序列的人免疫球蛋白基因微型基因座(miniloci),加之使内源μ和κ链基因座失活的靶向突变(参见例如Lonberg等人(1994)Nature 368(6474):856-859);或携带人重链转基因和人轻链转染色体的“KM小鼠TM”(参见专利申请WO02/43478)。其他抗体人源化改造的方法还包括噬菌体展示技术(Hoogenboom等,1991,J.Mol.Biol.227:381;Marks等,J.Mol.Biol.1991,222:581-597;Vaughan等,1996,Nature Biotech 14:309)。
如本文中所使用的,术语“人源化程度”是用于评价人源化抗体中非人源氨基酸残基的数量的指标。人源化抗体的人源化程度例如可通过IMGT网站DomainGapAlign来预测可变区序列与人V结构域的同源性。
如本文中所使用的,术语“同源抗体”指抗体的变体,其包含的重链和轻链可变区所包含的氨基酸序列与本文中所提供的抗体或其抗原结合片段的氨基酸序列同源,且其中所述变体保留了本发明抗FXI和/或FXIa抗体的期望的功能特性。
用于比较的序列比对方法在本领域是熟知的。多种程序和比对算法描述于:Smith TF和Waterman MS,Adv.Appl.Math.,2:482,1981;Higgins DG和Sharp PM,CABIOS5:151,1989。Altschul SF等,Nature Genet.,6:119,1994提供了序列比对方法和同源性计算的详细思路。
如本文中所使用的,术语“特异性结合”是指,两分子间的非随机的结合反应,如抗体和其所针对的抗原之间的反应。特异性结合相互作用的强度或亲和力可以该相互作用的平衡解离常数(KD)或半最大效应浓度(EC50)表示。
两分子间的特异性结合性质可使用本领域公知的方法进行测定。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”(ka或kon)和“解离速率常数”(kdis或koff)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,Nature,1993,361:186-187)。kdis/kon的比率等于解离常数KD(参见Davies等人,Annual Rev Biochem,1990;59:439-473)。可用任何有效的方法测量KD、kon和kdis值。在某些实施方案中,可以使用生物发光干涉测量法(例如ForteBio Octet法)来测量解离常数。除此以外还可用表面等离子共振技术(例如Biacore)或Kinexa来测量解离常数。
如本文中所使用的,术语“载体(vector)”是指,可将多聚核苷酸插入其中的一种核酸运载工具。当载体能使插入的多核苷酸编码的蛋白获得表达时,载体称为表达载体。载 体可以通过转化,转导或者转染导入宿主细胞,使其携带的遗传物质元件在宿主细胞中获得表达。载体是本领域技术人员公知的,包括但不限于:质粒;噬菌粒;柯斯质粒;人工染色体,例如酵母人工染色体(YAC)、细菌人工染色体(BAC)或P1来源的人工染色体(PAC);噬菌体如λ噬菌体或M13噬菌体及动物病毒等。可用作载体的动物病毒包括但不限于,逆转录酶病毒(包括慢病毒)、腺病毒、腺相关病毒、疱疹病毒(如单纯疱疹病毒)、痘病毒、杆状病毒、乳头瘤病毒、乳头多瘤空泡病毒(如SV40)。一种载体可以含有多种控制表达的元件,包括但不限于,启动子序列、转录起始序列、增强子序列、选择元件及报告基因。另外,载体还可含有复制起始位点。
表达及克隆载体含有使载体能在一或多个所选宿主细胞中复制的核酸序列。通常,在克隆载体中,此序列为使载体能独立于宿主染色体DNA而复制者,且其包括复制起点或自主复制序列。本文所用的术语“表达载体”是指包含重组多核苷酸的载体,其包含与待表达的核苷酸序列有效连接的表达调控序列。表达载体包含用于表达的足够的顺式作用元件(cis-acting elements);用于表达的其它元件可以由宿主细胞或体外表达系统提供。表达载体包括本领域所有已知的那些,例如粘粒、质粒(例如裸露或包含在脂质体中的)和病毒(例如,慢病毒、逆转录病毒、腺病毒和腺相关病毒)。
如本文中所使用的,术语“宿主细胞”是指,可用于导入载体的细胞,其包括但不限于,如大肠杆菌或枯草菌等的原核细胞,如酵母细胞或曲霉菌等的真菌细胞,如S2果蝇细胞或Sf9等的昆虫细胞,或者如纤维原细胞,CHO细胞,COS细胞,NSO细胞,HeLa细胞,BHK细胞,HEK 293细胞或人细胞等的动物细胞。
如本文中所使用的,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。
如本文中所使用的,术语“保守置换”意指不会不利地影响或改变包含氨基酸序列的蛋白/多肽的预期性质的氨基酸置换,通过保守置换氨基酸得到的抗体的变体充分地保留其来源序列的生物学活性,如特异性地与FXI或FXIa结合。例如,可通过本领域内已知的标准技术例如定点诱变和PCR介导的诱变引入保守置换。保守氨基酸置换包括用具有相似侧链的氨基酸残基替代氨基酸残基的置换,例如用在物理学上或功能上与相应的氨基酸残基相似(例如具有相似大小、形状、电荷、化学性质,包括形成共价键或氢键的能力等)的残基进行的置换。已在本领域内定义了具有相似侧链的氨基酸残基的家族。这些家族包括具有碱性侧链(例如,赖氨酸、精氨酸和组氨酸)、酸性侧链(例如天冬氨酸、谷氨酸)、不带电荷的极性侧链(例如甘氨酸、天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺、丝氨酸、苏氨酸、酪氨酸、半胱氨酸、色氨酸)、非极性侧链(例如丙氨酸、缬氨酸、亮氨酸、异亮氨酸、脯氨酸、苯丙氨酸、甲硫氨酸)、β分支侧链(例如,苏氨酸、缬氨酸、异亮氨酸)和芳香族侧链(例如,酪氨酸、苯丙氨酸、色氨酸、组氨酸)的氨基酸。因此,优选用来自相同侧链家族的另一个氨基酸残基替代相应的氨基酸残基。鉴定氨基酸保守置换的方法在本领域内是熟知的(参见,例如,Brummell等人,Biochem.32:1180-1187(1993);Kobayashi等人Protein Eng.12(10):879-884(1999);和Burks等人Proc.Natl Acad.Set USA 94:412-417(1997),其通过引用并入本文)。

通过ELISA筛选了24000个杂交瘤克隆的上清,获得100个能够识别生物素标记的FXI的杂交瘤克隆,转移至24孔板。7-10天后采用APTT功能检测方法测试杂交瘤上清。最优的22个克隆进行有限稀释法进行亚克隆,以获得单克隆杂交瘤。单克隆杂交瘤采用APTT功能检测方法检测抗凝血活性,采用活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)试剂盒(Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Kit,厂家:Thermo Fisher Sci,货号100402)进行检测。具体步骤如下:预热的试管中加入100μL正常人血浆(购自Innovative Research,Cat#IPLA-N),然后加入100μL APTT试剂(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.Cat#100402TS)和100μL检测样品进行混匀,37℃孵育5分钟,然后加入100μL氯化钙(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.Cat#100304,20mM),测定OD405读数,曲线拟合计算出凝血时间,以Sp2/0-Ag14细胞上清为阴性对照。14E11为阳性对照抗体(参照Aronora专利US8388959B2制备)。APTT实验结果中的倍数的数值是加了实验抗体的样品所测得的凝血时间与未加抗体的对照样品所测得的凝血时间的比值。1倍或以下说明凝血时间不延迟或加快,大于1倍说明凝血时间延长。
如图1所示,APTT一共测试了5个亚克隆杂交瘤上清,其中36G9.10延长了APTT时间,具有显著的抗凝血功能,可以用于进一步的分析,而其它克隆6B6.9、28A8.3、36C3、40F6.9延长凝血时间与阴性对照差异不大。通过同样的筛选获得具有APTT延长持续时间的杂交瘤7B2,用于进一步的分析。
单克隆杂交瘤36G9.10和7B2分别无血清扩大培养至100-150mL。上清通过Protein G填料进行纯化,纯化的鼠源抗体通过HPLC-SEC检测,纯度均大于97%。纯化的鼠源抗体可以用于进一步的功能验证。

被广泛用于抗体抗原动态亲和力的检测,候选鼠源抗体36G9.10和对照抗体BAY1213790及14E11采用此方法测定与FXIa动态亲和力。具体实验步骤如下:链霉亲和素的探头先与生物素标记的待测抗体结合至应答信号值0.8nm,然后与FXIa蛋白(3.2、1.6、0.8、0.4、0.2、0.1、0.05和0μg/mL)结合5分钟,然后解离7分钟,采用二价分析模型以及全部拟合分析。

2.4抗人FXI/FXIa鼠源抗体特异性阻断FXI和FXIa的生物学活性
为确认鼠源抗体36G9.10特异性阻断FXI和FXIa的生物学活性,采用缺少FXI的人血浆(购自Innovative Research,货号:50-643-396),通过添加FXI(0.2、0.4、0.8μg/mL),FXIa(0.2、0.4、0.8μg/mL),FXI(0.4μg/mL)和36G9.10(0.4μg/mL),FXIa(0.4μg/mL)和36G9.10(0.4μg/mL)测定APTT凝血时间。
结果如图4所示,添加FXI或FXIa会显著的缩短FXI缺少的人血浆凝血时间,并呈现剂量依赖,当加入36G9.10鼠源抗体后,FXI和FXIa的凝血的时间明显延长,表明鼠源抗体36G9.10特异性抑制FXI和FXIa的生物学活性。
实施例3.抗人FXI/FXIa鼠源抗体的亚型鉴定及可变区扩增
为了检测候选杂交瘤克隆的抗体亚型,采用Pierce Rapid Isotyping试剂盒(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.Cat#26179)对36G9.10、7B2候选克隆的抗体亚型进行了鉴定。鉴定结果表明候选克隆重链为IgG1亚型,轻链为Kappa亚型。
杂交瘤细胞培养到8000个左右,细胞裂解并采用cDNA反转录试剂盒(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.Cat#18080-200)合成第一链cDNA。采用特殊的引物从cDNA中PCR方式扩增VH和VK基因,PCR产物通过DNA纯化试剂盒(购自Qiagen,Cat#28104)纯化,并连接到TOPO载体上(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.Cat#K457540)。每一个连接反应大概挑取12个克隆进行测序。序列通过Vector NTI 11.5(购自Thermo Fisher Sci.)和Sequencer 5.4.6(购自Genecodes)进行分析,获得抗FXI/FXIa鼠源抗体可变区序列以及CDR序列如序列信息表所示,其中,36G9.10鼠源抗体的重链可变区为SEQ ID NO:1,轻链可变区为SEQ ID NO:2;7B2鼠源抗体的重链可变区为SEQ ID NO:29,轻链可变区为SEQ ID NO:30。进一步,分别构建了36G9.10及7B2的嵌合抗体36G9.10-hz00和7B2-hz00,其是将36G9.10或7B2的重链可变区序列嫁接至突变型人IgG1重链恒定区(N297A突变型)(SEQ ID NO: 21),将36G9.10或7B2的轻链可变区序列嫁接至人Kappa轻链恒定区(SEQ ID NO:22)而获得。
实施例4.抗人FXI/FXIa鼠源抗体的人源化
采用CDR移植抗体人源化改造方法对鼠源抗体36G9.10,7B2进行人源化改造。简言之,人源化改造涉及以下步骤:把鼠源单克隆抗体的氨基酸序列与人胚系抗体氨基酸序列进行比对,找出同源性高,理化性质较优的序列,作为人胚胎系框架序列;分析考察HLA-DR亲和性,选出亲和力低的人胚胎系框架序列;再将鼠源抗体的六个CDR分别移植到选定的重链及轻链框架序列上。
具体而言,将鼠源抗体36G9.10、7B2的重链和轻链CDR区分别移植到对应的人源化模板的FR框架上。36G9.10的重链人源化模板为人胚系基因序列IGHV1-2*02(参见IMGT登录号X62106)及IGHV1-69-2*01(参见IMGT登录号KF698734),轻链人源化模板人胚系基因序列IGKV1-33*01(参见IMGT登录号M64856)及IGKV1-16*01(参见IMGT登录号J00248)。7B2的重链人源化模板为人胚系基因序列IGHV1-69-2*01(参见IMGT登录号KF698734),轻链人源化模板为人胚系基因序列IGKV1-39*01(参见IMGT登录号X59315)。
进一步,利用计算机模拟技术,应用分子对接分析可变区及其周边的框架氨基酸序列,考察其空间立体结合方式。通过计算静电力,范德华力,亲疏水性和熵值,分析该鼠源抗体氨基酸序列中可与凝血因子XIa作用以及维护空间构架的关键氨基酸,并在移植后的抗体中,保留这些鼠源的氨基酸。也即,对上述人源化模板的FR区氨基酸残基进行了一系列的回复突变,以使人源化抗体尽可能保留鼠源抗体的抗原结合能力。
根据以上方法,以鼠源抗体36G9.10的CDR为基础,共构建了5株人源化抗体,分别命名为36G9.10-hz43、36G9.10-hz73、36G9.10-hz74、36G9.10-hz92、36G9.10-hz93;其中,各抗体的重链恒定区均为人IgG1重链恒定区(N297A突变型)(SEQ ID NO:21)。以鼠源抗体7B2的CDR为基础,构建了人源化抗体7B2-hz11,重链恒定区均为突变型人IgG1重链恒定区(N297A突变型)(SEQ ID NO:21)。抗体36G9.10-hz73、36G9.10-hz74、36G9.10-hz43、36G9.10-hz92、36G9.10-hz93以及7B2hz11的轻链恒定区序列为SEQ ID NO:22,均不具有ADCC和CDC效应。
上述人源化抗体的可变区及恒定区氨基酸序列如表2所示。

采用Biophen Factor XIa试剂盒(购自Aniara Cat#220412),对人源化后的抗体进行抗凝血活性检测,具体方法见实施例2。
检测结果如图6所示,嵌合抗体36G9.10-hz00,人源化抗体36G9.10-hz43,36G9.10-hz73,36G9.10-hz74,36G9.10-hz92,36G9.10-hz93,抗体14E11和BAY-1213790均能够有效地减少FXa的产生,抗体36G9.10-hz43,36G9.10-hz73,36G9.10-hz92,36G9.10-hz93相比对照抗体14E11和BAY-1213790更有效地减少FXa的产生,表明其具有更优越的抗凝活性。
实施例7.抗人FXI/FXIa人源化抗体与FXI/FXIa的亲和力测定
采用ELISA法检测36G9.10-hz73与人FXIa亲和力,具体步骤如下:用CBS包被液(称取0.32g Na 2CO 3、0.59g NaHCO 3,去离子水溶解,定容至200ml)稀释FXIa抗原(Haematologic Technologies,HCXIA-160)至1μg/mL,100μL每孔包被FXIa抗原,4℃过夜;第二天弃去孔中液体,用300μL PBS清洗一次;加入100μL PBS(含2%BSA,BOVOGEN,BSAS 1.0),37℃封闭2小时;用PBS(含2%BSA)稀释36G9.10-hz73及BAY-1213790抗体(10μg/mL起始,4倍稀释,12个浓度点),取100μL加入对应的孔中,37℃孵育2小时;300μL PBST清洗3次;用PBS(含2%BSA)按1:10000比例稀释HRP标记的羊抗人二抗(购自Jackson,109-035-00),取100μL加入对应的孔中,37℃孵育1小时;300μL PBST清洗5次;加入100μL TMB显色液(购自BioPanda,TMB-S-004)至对应的孔中,室温显色20分钟;加入50μL 2N H 2SO 4终止,酶标仪(购自MD,SpectraMax M2)OD450nm读数并导入Graphpad Prism进行曲线拟合。
实验结果如图7A所示,36G9.10-hz73与FXIa亲和力EC50为2.488ng/mL,BAY-1213790与FXIa亲和力EC50为6.163ng/mL,36G9.10-hz73优于BAY-1213790。
采用ELISA法检测36G9.10-hz73与人FXI亲和力,用CBS包被液稀释FXI抗原(从义翘神州购买PMD-F11质粒,克隆至PLVX-TRES-PURO载体并转染293F细胞表达获得)至1μg/mL,100μL每孔包4℃包被过夜,其余步骤如前文所示,抗体起始浓度为0.37μg/mL,3倍稀释,9个浓度点。
实验结果如图7B所示,36G9.10-hz73与FXI亲和力EC50为9.68ng/mL,BAY-1213790不与FXI结合。36G9.10-hz73同时中和FXI和FXIa,能发挥更好的抗凝血功能。
实施例8.抗人FXI/FXIa抗体与对照抗体竞争结合FXIa检测
为了确定36G9.10-hz73与BAY-1213790、14E11是否识别FXIa同一表位,采用竞争ELISA方法进行检测。具体步骤如下:用CBS包被液稀释FXIa抗原至1μg/mL,100μL每孔包被FXIa抗原,4℃过夜;第二天弃去孔中液体,用300μL PBS清洗一次;加入100μL PBS(含2%BSA),37℃封闭2小时;用PBS(含2%BSA)稀释生物素标记的36G9.10-hz73抗体至10ng/mL,并以此为母液稀释BAY-1213790、14E11抗体至10μg/mL取100μL加入对应的孔中,并以10μg/mL 36G9.10-hz73抗体作为阳性对照,以只含10ng/mL生物素标记的36G9.10-hz73抗体作为阴性对照,并设空白对照,37℃孵育2小时;300μL PBST清洗3次;用PBS(含2%BSA)按1:3000比例稀释HRP-Streptavidin二抗(购自Proteintech,SA00001-0),取100μL加入对应的孔中,37℃孵育1小时;300μL PBST清洗5次;加入100μL TMB显色液(购自BioPanda,TMB-S-004)至对应的孔中,室温显色20分钟;加入50μL 2N H 2SO 4终止,酶标仪(购自MD,SpectraMax M2)OD450nm读数并导入Graphpad Prism进行作图。
实验结果如图8所示,BAY-1213790、14E11均不与36G9.10-hz73竞争结合FXIa,表明前两者与36G9.10-hz73结合FXIa的不同表位。
实施例9.抗人FXI/FXIa抗体抑制FXIa对底物的催化作用
1988年Shun-ichiro KAWABATA等筛选出若干FXIa的特异性荧光标记底物,用于体外灵敏检测人FIXa的酶活(详见Eur.J.Biochem.172,17-25(1988))。因此通过检测人FXIa对特异性荧光底物(I-1575,Bachem)的催化裂解来测定人FXIa活性及抗人FXI/FXIa人源化抗体对FXIa的有效中和作用。具体步骤如下:用含有50mM Tris/HCl、100mM NaCl、5mM CaCl 2和0.1%BSA的缓冲液将人FXIa稀释至1nM,并以此为母液梯度稀释36G9.10-hz73及BAY-1213790抗体,20μg/mL起始,4倍稀释,14个浓度点;取稀释好的抗体10μL每孔加入384孔板(购自Coring,4514)对应孔中,放置于37℃孵育1小时;孵育后每孔加入10μL浓度为2μM的荧光底物I-1575,混匀后立即上机,用酶标仪连续读取360/465nm下的荧光数值,并导入Graphpad Prism进行曲线拟合。
实验结果如表4所示,36G9.10-hz73抗体能够有效抑制FXIa对荧光底物的催化作用,IC50为26.215ng/mL,BAY-1213790IC50为69.96ng/mL,36G9.10-hz73优于BAY-1213790。

实施例10.通过测定活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)来检测抗人FXI/FXIa抗体的抗凝活性
抗凝血浆中加入APTT试剂后,启动内源性凝血途径,使XI激活为XIa,靶向FXIa的抗体能够抑制FXIa的活性,从而延长APTT,因此采用测定APTT来检测抗人FXI/FXIa人源化抗体的抗凝活性。具体步骤如下:分别取人、猴、犬、兔、大鼠静脉血,每个种属取2至3个样本,每个样本取4管血样(每管1.8ml),用3.2%柠檬酸钠抗凝,2500×g、4℃离心10分钟后,取血浆4℃储存备用(每个样本血浆合并);将待测抗体用生理盐水稀释,1500μg/mL起始,3个浓度点,作为10×待测抗体母液;高浓度时样品检测体系为150μl,取135μl血浆,再加入15μl待测抗体母液(即,待测抗体母液进行10倍稀释),然后用全自动凝血分析仪(购自希森美康CA1500)检测APTT。低浓度时样品检测体系为75μl,取67.5μl血浆,再加入7.5μl待测抗体母液(即,待测抗体母液进行10倍稀释),然后用全自动凝血分析仪检测APTT。
实验结果如图9A所示,4个待测抗体36G9.10-hz73、BAY-1213790、BMS-962212(参考J Med Chem.2017Dec 14;60(23):9703-9723.doi:10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b01171.Epub 2017Nov 17制备)、14E11在人血浆中均能延长APTT,36G9.10-hz73药效最佳,6μg/mL即可使APTT有2.2倍的延长,优于其它三者。如图9B-9E所示,36G9.10-hz73仅在猴血浆中延长APTT凝血时间,而BAY-1213790在猴、兔血浆中延长APTT凝血时间,14E11在猴、兔、大鼠血浆中延长APTT凝血时间,表明36G9.10-hz73与BAY-1213790、14E11的种属交叉不一样,推测36G9.10-hz73结合FXI/FXIa的抗体表位与BAY-1213790、14E11不同。
凝血酶原时间(PT)检测主要反映外源性凝血系统状况,PT实验结果中的倍数的数值是加了实验抗体的样品所测得的凝血时间与未加抗体的对照样品所测得的凝血时间的比值。1倍或以下说明凝血时间不延迟或加快,大于1倍说明凝血时间延长。
采用上文中相同处理方法通过全自动凝血分析仪检测36G9.10-hz73、BAY-1213790、BMS-962212、14E11对PT影响。检测结果如表5所示,所有样品在5个种属血浆中,与PBS 对照,浓度至150μg/mL(1μM)也都不延长PT(倍数表示),表明其对外源性凝血无影响,没有增加出血的风险。

表7.抗人FXI/FXIa人源化抗体PK、PD检测给药方案
组别 剂量(mg/kg) 给药方式 动物数 动物性别
1 1 静脉注射 2 1雄+1雌
2 3 静脉注射 3 1雄+2雌
3 3 皮下注射 3 2雄+1雌
完成所有时间点采血以后,以36G9.10-hz73抗体作为标准品,采用实施例7中ELISA方法绘制抗体浓度标准曲线,并在相同条件下以此标准曲线测定每个时间点36G9.10-hz73抗体的血药浓度,最后将测得的血药浓度导入Graphpad Prism进行曲线拟合,计算36G9.10-hz73在食蟹猴体内的PK。
同时在每次采血以后,立即采用实施例10中方法检测APTT,最后将所有时间点数据导入Graphpad Prism进行曲线拟合,计算36G9.10-hz73在食蟹猴体内的PD。
PK检测结果如表8所示,静脉注射3mg/kg 36G9.10-hz73抗体在食蟹猴体内半衰期为290.15小时,皮下注射3mg/kg 36G9.10-hz73抗体在食蟹猴体内半衰期为188.02小时。皮下注射3mg/kg 36G9.10-hz73抗体生物利用度为94%±2%(n=2)。
表8.抗人FXI/FXIa人源化抗体PK测定
给药方式 半衰期(小时) AUC(0-t,h*μg/mL)
静脉注射-1mg/kg 355.37 3997.79
静脉注射-3mg/kg 290.15 5035.86
皮下注射-3mg/kg 188.02 9581.64
PD检测结果表明36G9.10-hz73用于静脉注射和皮下给药均能达到很好的延长APTT的效果。如图11A所示,两个静脉注射剂量组量效关系明确,3mg/kg的皮下注射给药方式延长APTT效果稍优于静脉注射,其在1008小时仍有约1.3倍的APTT延长效果;如图11B所示,三个剂量组均不延长PT,表明对外源性凝血无影响。因此36G9.10-hz73抗体具有潜在的不引起出血的风险的临床优势。
尽管本发明的具体实施方式已经得到详细的描述,但本领域技术人员将理解:根据已经公布的所有教导,可以对细节进行各种修改和变动,并且这些改变均在本发明的保护范围之内。本发明的全部分为由所附权利要求及其任何等同物给出。
