  • T cell-mediated immune response is strictly regulated by costimulation and co-suppression mechanisms, maintaining the best balance between antigen immune response and maintaining self-tolerance. This balance is participated by a variety of activating and inhibitory proteins. Inhibitory proteins, also known as immune checkpoint proteins, regulate the activation and effector functions of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to maintain self-tolerance. Immune checkpoint inhibitory proteins play a key role in tumor regulatory pathways. One of the important immune checkpoint protein PD-1, after binding to its ligand PD-L1, will transmit immunosuppressive signals and reduce the activity of T cells.

Description

抗人程序性死亡配体-1(PD-L1)的抗体及其用途
本申请要求于2019年11月08日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911088643.5、发明名称为“抗人程序性死亡配体-1(PD-L1)的抗体及其用途”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及抗人程序性死亡配体-1(PD-L1)的抗体或其抗原结合片段,其编码核酸、表达载体和表达细胞、制备方法、药物组合物、以及它们用于增强T细胞的功能,上调T细胞介导的免疫应答和用于治疗PD-L1表达异常和T细胞功能异常相关的疾病,如肿瘤的用途。
背景技术
免疫治疗已成为肿瘤治疗中发展最为迅速、最具前景的研究领域之一,而运用免疫检查点抑制剂,如PD-1/PD-L1单抗,CTLA-4单抗则是肿瘤免疫疗法革命性的治疗方法,大大地提高了恶行肿瘤患者地生存期。
T细胞介导的免疫反应受到共刺激和共抑制机制的严格调控,在抗原免疫反应和维持自我耐受之间保持最佳平衡。该平衡由多种激活性和抑制性蛋白参与。抑制性蛋白,也被称为免疫检查点类蛋白,调节杀伤性T细胞(cytotoxic T lymphocyte,CTL)的激活和效应功能,以维持自我耐受性。免疫检查点类抑制性蛋白在肿瘤的调节通路中起着关键作用。其中一个重要的免疫检查点蛋白PD-1,与其配体PD-L1结合后,会传导免疫抑制信号,降低T细胞的活性。同时肿瘤细胞也可以通过在细胞表面表达PD-L1来抑制T细胞的激活和增殖,从而逃避CTL的攻击和杀伤。利用PD-1或PD-L1单抗,阻止PD-1/PD-L1的结合和相互作用,可以部分恢复T细胞的功能,从而增强杀伤肿瘤细胞的能力。
2011年,第一个免疫检测点抑制剂伊普利单抗作为一种抗CTLA-4单克隆抗体,成为成功用于治疗黑色素瘤的肿瘤免疫疗法,至今治疗的很多患者已获得相比与传统治疗方法更好的5年生存期。之后,FDA又先后批准了3个PD-1单抗和3个PD-L1单抗,成功地用于免疫治疗除黑色素瘤之外的十几种肿瘤,并成为多种癌症的一线治疗手段,如非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)、肾细胞癌(RCC)和膀胱或尿路上皮癌等。中国至 今已批准了2个进口PD-1抗体和3个国产PD-1抗体上市,但是还没有PD-L1抗体获批,并且鉴于PD-L1抗体与PD-1抗体治疗机理上及目前临床试验联用药物和适用适应症的不同,研发新的PD-L1单抗和基于PD-L1的双抗仍然有重大的社会和经济意义。

术语和定义:
除非另外说明,本文所用术语具有所属技术领域普通技术人员通常理解的含义。对于本文中明确定义的术语,则该术语的含义以所述定义为准。
如本文所用,术语“抗体”(Ab)是指与目标抗原特异性结合或具有免疫反应性的免疫球蛋白分子,包括抗体的多克隆、单克隆、基因工程化和其他修饰形式(包括但 不限于嵌合抗体,人源化抗体,全人源抗体,异源偶联抗体(例如双特异性、三特异性和四特异性抗体,双抗体,三抗体和四抗体),抗体缀合物)以及抗体的抗原结合片段(包括例如Fab’、F(ab’)2、Fab、Fv、rIgG和scFv片段)。此外,除非另有说明,否则术语“单克隆抗体”(mAb)意指包括能够特异性结合靶蛋白的完整抗体分子以及不完整的抗体片段(例如Fab和F(ab’)2片段,它们缺少完整抗体的Fc片段(从动物循环中更快地清除),因此缺乏Fc介导的效应功能(effector function)(参见Wahl等人,J.Nucl.Med.24:316,1983;其内容援引加入本文))。
如本文所用,术语“抗原结合片段”是指保留特异性结合靶抗原的能力的一个或更多个抗体片段。抗体的抗原结合功能可以由全长抗体的片段执行。抗体片段可以是Fab、F(ab’)2、scFv、SMIP、双抗体、三抗体、亲和体(affibody)、纳米抗体、适体或结构域抗体。涵盖术语抗体的“抗原结合片段”的结合片段的实例包括但不限于:(i)Fab片段,一种由VL、VH、CL和CHl结构域组成的单价片段;(ii)F(ab)2片段,一种包含由二硫键在铰链区连接的两个Fab片段的双价片段;(iii)由VH和CHl结构域组成的Fd片段;(iv)由抗体单臂的VL和VH结构域组成的Fv片段;(V)包含VH和VL结构域的dAb;(vi)由VH结构域组成的dAb片段(Ward等人,Nature341:544-546,1989);(vii)由VH或VL结构域组成的dAb;(viii)分离的互补决定区(CDR);以及(ix)两个或更多个分离的CDR的组合,所述CDR可以任选地由合成接头连接。此外,虽然Fv片段的两个结构域VL和VH是通过独立的基因编码的,但是这两个结构域可以使用重组方法通过接头接合,该接头能够使其制成其中VL和VH区配对以形成单价分子的单蛋白质链(称为单链Fv(scFv);参见例如,Bird等人,Science 242:423-426,1988以及Huston等人,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA85:5879-5883,1988)。这些抗体片段可以使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术获得,并且这些片段被筛选用于与完整抗体相同的方式使用。可以通过重组DNA技术、完整免疫球蛋白的酶促或化学裂解、或在一些实施方式中通过本领域已知的化学肽合成程序来产生抗原结合片段。
如本文所用,术语“PD-L1”是指程序性死亡配体-1,也称为CD279(分化簇279),是一种重要的免疫抑制分子。所述PD-L1优选地是人PD-L1。
如本文所用,术语“抗-程序性死亡配体-1抗体”、“程序性死亡配体-1抗体”、“抗PD-L1抗体”、“PD-L1抗体”、“抗-PD-L1抗体部分”和/或“抗-PD-L1抗体片段”等是指 任何包含能够特异性结合PD-L1的免疫球蛋白分子的至少一部分(例如但不限于重链或轻链的至少一个互补决定区(CDR)或其配体结合部分、重链或轻链可变区、重链或轻链恒定区、框架区或其任何部分)的含蛋白质或肽的分子。PD-L1抗体还包括抗体样蛋白支架(如第十纤连蛋白III型结构域(10Fn3)),其含有与抗体CDR在结构和溶剂可及性上相似的BC、DE和FG结构环。10Fn3结构域的三级结构类似于IgG重链可变区的三级结构,并且通过将10Fn3的BC、DE和FG环的残基用来自PD-L1单克隆抗体的CDR-H1、CDR-H2或CDR-H3区的残基替换,本领域技术人员可以将例如PD-L1单克隆抗体的CDR接枝到纤连蛋白支架上。
如本文所用,术语“双特异性抗体”是指对至少两种不同的抗原具有单克隆结合特异性的抗体,其通常是人或人源化的抗体。在本发明中,结合特异性之一可以针对PD-L1的抗原表位而被检测,另一个可以针对PD-L1的另一个抗原表位或任何其他抗原,例如针对细胞表面蛋白、受体、受体亚基、组织特异性抗原、病毒来源蛋白、病毒编码的包膜蛋白、细菌来源蛋白或细菌表面蛋白等而被检测。
如本文所用,术语“嵌合”抗体是指以下抗体,其具有源自一种来源生物(如大鼠或小鼠)的免疫球蛋白的可变序列以及源自不同生物体(例如人)的免疫球蛋白的恒定区。用于生产嵌合抗体的方法是本领域已知的。参见例如,Morrison,1985,Science 229(4719):1202-7;Oi等人,1986,Bio Techniques 4:214-221;Gillies等人,1985 J Immunol Methods 125:191-202;以上通过援引加入并入本文。
如本文所用,术语“互补决定区”(CDR)指在轻链和重链可变结构域中均发现的高变区。可变结构域中更高保守性的部分称为框架区(FR)。如本领域所理解的,表示抗体的高变区的氨基酸位置可以根据上下文和本领域已知的各种定义而变化。可变结构域内的一些位置可以被视为杂合高变位置,因为这些位置可以被认为是在一组标准(如IMGT或KABAT)下的高变区之内,而被认为在不同组的标准(如KABAT或IMGT)下的高变区之外。这些位置中的一个或更多个也可以在延伸的高变区中找到。本发明包括在这些杂合高变的位置中包含修饰的抗体。天然重链和轻链的可变结构域各自包含主要采用片层构型的四个框架区,其通过三个CDR(CDR1、CDR2和CDR3)连接,这三个CDR形成连接片层结构的环,并且在一些情况下形成片层结构的一部分。每条链中的CDR通过FR区按顺序FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4紧密保持在一起,并且与来自其他抗体链的CDR促成了抗体的抗原结合位点的形成 (参见Kabat等人,Sequences of Protein sofImmunological Interest,National Institute of Health,Bethesda,Md.1987;其通过援引加入并入本文)。例如在本文中,CDR1-VH、CDR2-VH和CDR3-VH分别是指重链可变区(VH)的第一个CDR、第二个CDR和第三个CDR,这三个CDR构成了重链(或其可变区)的CDR组合(VHCDR组合);CDR1-VL、CDR2-VL和CDR3-VL分别是指轻链可变区(VL)的第一个CDR、第二个CDR和第三个CDR,这三个CDR构成了轻链(或其可变区)的CDR组合(VLCDR组合)。
如本文所用,术语“抗体缀合物”是指抗体分子直接或者通过连接接头与另一个分子化学键合而形成的偶联体/缀合物。例如抗体-药物缀合物(ADC),其中药物分子就是所述的另一个分子。
如本文所用,术语“单克隆抗体”是指来源于单个克隆(包括任何真核、原核、或噬菌体克隆)的抗体,而不限于该抗体的产生方法。
如本文所用,术语“VH”是指抗体的免疫球蛋白重链(包括Fv、scFv或Fab的重链)的可变区。术语“VL”是指免疫球蛋白轻链(包括Fv、scFv、dsFv或Fab的轻链)的可变区。
如本文所用,术语“百分比(%)序列一致性”是指在为达到最大百分比序列一致性而比对序列和引入空位(如果需要)(例如,为了最佳比对,可以在候选和参比序列中的一个或两个中引入空位,并且出于比较的目的,可以忽略非同源序列)之后,候选序列的氨基酸(或核苷酸)残基与参比序列的氨基酸(或核苷酸)残基相同的百分比。出于确定百分比序列一致性的目的,可以用本领域技术人员熟知的多种方式来实现比对,例如使用公众可得的计算机软件,如BLAST、ALIGN或Megalign(DNASTAIi)软件。本领域技术人员可以确定用于测量比对的适当参数,包括需要在被比较序列的全长范围实现最大比对的任何算法。例如,用于与候选序列进行比较而比对的参比序列可以显示候选序列在候选序列的全长或候选序列的连续氨基酸(或核苷酸)残基的选定部分上表现出从50%至100%的序列同一性。出于比较目的而比对的候选序列的长度可以是例如参比序列的长度的至少30%(例如30%、40%、50%、60%、70%、80%、90%或100%)。当候选序列中的位置被与在参比序列中的相应位置相同的氨基酸(或核苷酸)残基占据时,则这些分子在那个位置是相同的。
如本文所用,术语“特异性结合”是指一种结合反应,其决定抗原在蛋白质和其他生物分子的一个异质性群体中的存在状况,所述蛋白质和其他生物分子例如被抗体或其抗原结合片段特异性识别。与抗原特异性结合的抗体或其抗原结合片段将以小于100nM的KD与抗原结合。例如,与抗原特异性结合的抗体或其抗原结合片段将以高达100nM((例如,1pM至100nM之间)的KD与抗原结合。不显示与特定抗原或其表位特异性结合的抗体或其抗原结合片段将显示对该特定抗原或其表位的大于100nM(例如,大于500nM、1μM、100μΜ、500μΜ或1mM)的KD。可以使用多种免疫测定方式来选择与特定蛋白或碳水化合物进行特异性免疫反应的抗体。例如,常规地使用固相ELISA免疫测定法来选择与蛋白质或碳水化合物进行特异性免疫反应的抗体。参见,Harlow&Lane,Antibodies,ALaboratory Manual,Cold Spring Harbor Press,NewYork(1988)以及Harlow&Lane,Using Antibodies,A Laboratory Manual,Cold Spring Harbor Press,NewYork(1999),其描述了可以用于确定特异免疫反应性的免疫测定方式和条件。
如本文所用,术语“载体”包括核酸载体,例如DNA载体(如质粒),RNA载体,病毒或其他适合的复制子(例如病毒载体)。已经开发了多种载体用于将编码外源蛋白质的多核苷酸递送到原核或真核细胞中。本发明的表达载体含有多核苷酸序列以及例如用于表达蛋白质和/或将这些多核苷酸序列整合到哺乳动物细胞基因组中的附加序列元件。可以用于表达本发明的抗体和抗体片段的某些载体包括含有指导基因转录的调控序列(如启动子和增强子区域)的质粒。用于表达抗体和抗体片段的其他有用的载体含有多核苷酸序列,其增强这些基因的翻译速率或改善由基因转录产生的mRNA的稳定性或核输出。这些序列元件包括例如5’和3’非翻译区、内部核糖体进入位点(IRES)和聚腺苷酸化信号位点,以便指导表达载体上携带的基因的有效转录。本发明的表达载体还可以含有以下多核苷酸,该多核苷酸编码用于选择含有这种载体的细胞的标记。适合的标记的实例包括编码抗生素(如氨苄青霉素、氯霉素、卡那霉素或诺尔丝菌素)抗性的基因。
如本文所用,术语“受试者”、“对象”和“患者”是指接受对如本文所述的特定疾病或病症(如癌症或传染性疾病)的治疗的生物体。对象和患者的实例包括接受疾病或病症(例如细胞增殖性病症,如癌症或传染性疾病)的治疗的哺乳动物,如人、灵长 类动物、猪、山羊、兔、仓鼠、猫、狗、豚鼠、牛科家族成员(如家牛、野牛、水牛、麋鹿和牦牛等)、牛、绵羊、马和野牛等。
如本文所用,术语“治疗”是指外科手术或药物处理(surgical or therapeutic treatment),其目的是预防、减缓(减少)治疗对象中不希望的生理变化或病变,如细胞增殖性病症(如癌症或传染性疾病)的进展。有益的或所希望的临床结果包括但不限于症状的减轻、疾病程度减弱、疾病状态稳定(即,未恶化)、疾病进展的延迟或减慢、疾病状态的改善或缓和、以及缓解(无论是部分缓解或完全缓解),无论是可检测的或不可检测的。需要治疗的对象包括已患有病症或疾病的对象以及易于患上病症或疾病的对象或打算预防病症或疾病的对象。当提到减缓、减轻、减弱、缓和、缓解等术语时,其含义也包括消除、消失、不发生等情况。

首先采用经典“CDRs移植”方法进行抗体人源化,即通过序列挑选同源性最高的人源性抗体提供抗体骨架区(FRs),把目标抗体的基于Kabat命名方法的抗原结合片段互补决定区(CDRs),移植到前者形成人源化抗体。其次,为更好保持抗体活性和亲和力,基于抗体结构建模分析(MOE软件):1).选择抗体骨架区位于VH-VL界面、靠近或与CDRs有直接相互作用等氨基酸残基进行回复突变,这类氨基酸残基对保持CDRs区构象多较重要;2).考虑到免疫原性,尽量选择包埋在蛋白内部的氨基酸进行回复突变;3).考虑到抗体稳定性和表达水平,优先考虑分子能量降低突变;4).在人源化过程中通过CDRs区的氨基酸定点突变尝试进一步提升人源化抗体亲和力。通过测试含有不同突变的人源化抗体与人PD-L1的亲和力以及和表面表达PD-L1的细胞的结合,筛选与鼠源PD-L1抗体亲和力、抗体表征和活性功能相当或更好的人源化抗体。
其中,PDL1-156抗体经过人源化后的优选候选抗体分子的序列的CDRs如下,分别用IMGT和KABAT软件分析,对应的序列信息如下表3和表4所示,其中表3示出人源化抗体分子的VH和VL序列,表4示出人源化抗体分子的IMGT和KABAT分析结果)。

实施例7抗体阻断PD-L1和PD-1相互作用的IC50测定
通过竞争性ELISA方法确定抗PD-L1抗体阻断PD-L1蛋白与PD-1蛋白结合的IC50。
使用碳酸盐缓冲液稀释人PD-L1重组蛋白(Sino Biological,Cat.10084-H05H),加入96孔酶标板,终浓度为1μg/ml。用含3%BSA的PBS溶液封闭,加入梯度稀释的抗PD-L1抗体(6000ng/ml~2ng/ml)以及人PD-1-His重组蛋白(Sino Biological,Cat.10377-H08H)进行共孵育后,加入HRP标记的抗His标签抗体(MBL,Cat.D291-7),TMB显色,1M硫酸终止后读取OD值(双波长450nm-630nm)。将抗体浓度与OD值对应即可绘制出测试抗体的竞争结合曲线,计算出IC50值。图3显示了抗PD-L1抗体与人PD-L1重组蛋白的竞争结合曲线。结果表明,图中所示与没有任何阻断作用的抗体同型阴性对照anti-Hel(百英生物制备)相比,被测试的9个鼠源抗PD-L1抗体(A)和4个人源化抗体(B)均可以有效的阻断人PD-L1蛋白与人PD-1蛋白的相互作用,且人源化抗体与人源化之前的鼠源PDL1-156的抑制活性相当(B),IC50分别为197.0ng/mL(156-1H)、230.5ng/mL(156-7H)、250.1ng/mL(156-10H)、207.2ng/mL(156-11H)。鼠源PD-L1-156的IC50则为221.3ng/ml,阳性对照Atezolizumab(百英生物制备)为446.4ng/ml、Avelumab(Pfizer,lot AU020322)为190.3ng/ml。
实施例8 FACS测定PD-L1抗体对细胞表面PD-L1结合的EC 50
将梯度浓度的待检测抗体(抗体终浓度:10000ng/ml-0.1ng/ml,10倍系列稀释)与细胞表面高表达PD-L1的CHO-PD-L1细胞(南京勇山生物科技有限公司,10 5个/孔),4℃共同孵育30min。孵育结束后,加入1:250稀释的anti-human IgG PE荧光抗体(eBioscience,Cat.12-4998-8),4℃下共同孵育30min,荧光抗体与待检测抗体的Fc段产生特异性结合,通过FACS检测PE荧光强度的高低而对待检测抗体的结合细胞表面高表达的PD-L1蛋白的能力进行分析。图4结果显示,待测的鼠源PD-L1抗体EC50均与本次实验的阳性对照Avelumab(EC50为58.2ng/ml)和Atezolizumab(~99.73ng/ml)相近,其中PDL1-156和PDL1-370的EC50最低,被检测的人源化抗体156-1H,156-7H,156-10H和156-11H的EC50分别为49.42ng/ml,78.37ng/ml,63.5ng/ml和49.97ng/ml,与本次实验的阳性对照Avelumab(EC50为56.88ng/ml)相近。该检测定量地证实了待测各PD-L1抗体对细胞表面上PD-L1靶点剂量依赖性结合的能力。MFI fold=实验组MFI值/未加药物的对照组MFI值。
实施例9 PD-1/PD-L1-NFAT报告基因测试抗PD-L1抗体阻抑PD-1:PD-L1结合和信号传导
利用稳定转染PD-1的Jurkat细胞株(GenScript,Cat.00612)和稳定转染PD-L1的CHO细胞株(GenScript,Cat.M00613)比较PD-L1抗体对PD-1/PD-L1蛋白相互作用及其信号通路的拮抗作用。当抑制信号通路阻抑,NFAT控制的发光报告基因表达增强,发光信号值增加。通过发光读值的强弱(relative light units,RLU)反应抗体对PD-L1的阻断作用强弱。
将稳转PD-L1的CHO细胞株种在96孔白底板上,每孔40000个细胞,100μl/孔,放回培养箱过夜;第二天,取出孔板,吸去培养基,加入稳转PD-1的细胞株及待测的PD-L1抗体共孵育,PD-1细胞每孔加样量为16000个/孔,抗体则做梯度稀释,每个剂量3复孔,孵育体积为100μl/孔,孵育时长为6小时,待孵育完成时,取出孔板,等体积(100μl)加入发光检测试剂,读值。根据检测值用Graphpad进行4参数分析做回归曲线,得到各抗体的EC50值,结果详见图5A,被测的鼠源PD-L1抗体的EC50值均与阳性对照抗体Avelumab和Atezolizumab的EC50值(222.9ng/ml,321.6ng/ml)相近,图5B和5C则显示4个人源化PD-L1抗体156-1H,156-7H和156-10H,156-11H的EC50分别为:342ng/ml,313.7ng/ml,357.1ng/ml和282.2ng/ml, 和阳性对照Avelumab的EC50相近。该检测定量地证实了鼠源和人源化的抗PD-L1抗体对细胞表面PD-1:PD-L1相互作用导致的T细胞活性抑制呈现剂量依赖性的阻抑能力,从而剂量依赖地增强Jurkat细胞内报告基因的活性。
实施例10 ELISA检测混合淋巴细胞反应中T细胞分泌的IFN-γ
通过混合淋巴细胞反应(mixed lymphocyte reaction,MLR)来测定PD-L1单抗增强T细胞的活性。从健康人供体1的外周血单核细胞(peripheral blood mononuclear cells,PBMC)中分离CD14 +单核细胞,应用重组人粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(GM-CSF,Peprotech,Cat.300-03)和重组人白介素4(rhIL-4,Peprotech,Cat.200-04)进行体外诱导分化为树突状细胞(dendritic cell,DC),于培养第6天加入LPS(Sigma,Cat:L4516)刺激成熟DC,第7天将供体1的DC细胞与从健康供体2的PBMC富集的CD4 +T细胞混合共培养,DC:CD4 +T细胞数比例为1:10,加入待测抗体或阳性对照抗体Avelumab或Atezolizumab(抗体浓度为1000ng/ml,100ng/ml,10ng/ml,1ng/ml),共培养4天。4天后收集细胞培养上清,用ELISA方法检测上清中IFN-γ的含量如图6显示,所有测试的鼠源抗体及阳性对照抗体Avelumab、Atezolizumab相比anti-HEL单抗和no treatment(即没有给药)阴性对照组,均可明显增强MLR实验中CD4 +T细胞分泌IFN-γ的能力,并且随着PD-L1抗体药物浓度降低,增加分泌IFN-γ的活性也降低。该结果表明PD-L1抗体可增强T细胞的功能,且具有剂量依赖性。T-test,*P<0.05,**P<0.01,***P<0.001,****P<0.0001.
实施例11抗PD-L1抗体的抗体依赖的细胞杀伤(Antibody Dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicit,ADCC)活性检测
通过分离纯化的正常人PBMC中的天然杀伤(natural killer,NK)细胞对高表达人PD-L1的A431细胞的杀伤实验来测定抗PD-L1单抗介导的抗体依赖的细胞杀伤活性。
效应细胞的制备:复苏冻存的人PBMC细胞(Stemexpress公司)后,在补充有100IU/ml重组人白介素2(rhIL-2,Peprotech,Cat.200-02)的RPMI1640培养基(Invitrogen,Cat.11835030)中孵育过夜。其后,收集细胞后进行活细胞计数。然后使用NK细胞磁珠分离试剂盒(Stemcell,Cat.17955),从PBMC中纯化NK细胞,将NK细胞用补充有10%灭活的胎牛血清的DMEM(Invitrogen,Cat.11965084)重悬后 进行计数,用作效应细胞。
靶细胞的制备:靶细胞A431用含10%胎牛血清的DMEM培养基培养,ADCC实验前一天,加上终浓度为500IU干扰素IFN-γ(Peprotech,Cat.300-02)进行刺激培养过夜后待用。
用含有10%胎牛血清的DMEM培养基稀释抗PD-L1抗体,稀释好的抗体以25μl/孔分至白壁96孔板(Corning,Cat.3610)中,并且将靶细胞加入孔中(25μl/孔,10000细胞/孔)。使板在37℃,5%CO 2培养箱中孵育30分钟。随后,将效应细胞加入孔中(25μl/孔,40000细胞/孔,即效靶比NK:A431为4:1),总体积为100μl,使板在37℃,5%CO 2培养箱中孵育4个小时。
需同时设置培养基背景对照孔(即孔中加入100μl培养基),靶细胞自发死亡释放孔(即孔中只有靶细胞),效应细胞自发死亡释放孔(即孔中只有NK细胞),靶细胞最大死亡释放孔(即靶细胞加CytoTox-Glo TMCytotoxicity试剂盒(Promega,Cat.G9291)中提供的lysis buffer,所有对照孔的体积最后用培养基统一补充至100μl。培养4小时后,将板取出,每孔加入50μl CytoTox-Glo TMCytotoxicity Assay Reagent,放于摇床上混匀后,室温放置15分钟后进行读数化学发光(luminescence,RLU)。
根据下面步骤进行计算由ADCC活性引起的细胞裂解率:先将所有孔的读值减去培养基背景对照孔的平均读值,然后计算裂解率%=(实验孔读值-靶细胞自发死亡释放孔读值-效应细胞自发死亡释放孔)/(靶细胞最大死亡释放孔读值-靶细胞自发死亡释放孔读值)*100
结果显示于图7中,实验结果显示所测试的3个鼠源PD-L1抗体和FDA已批准上市的阳性对照抗PD-L1药物Avelumab均显示出对靶细胞A431细胞的抗体浓度依赖性的裂解杀伤活性和相近的EC50数值,同时,阴性同型对照抗体hIgG1,K(Abdserotec,PHP010)即使在最高浓度时也显示没有ADCC活性。
