Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. More specifically, the present invention relates to an antibody against TSLP, and also relates to the use of the antibody in the treatment of diseases.
  • Thymic stromal lymphopoietin is an inflammatory cytokine similar to IL7.
  • TSLP responds to microorganisms, physical damage or inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-1 ⁇ and TNF), and is mainly secreted by epithelial cells such as skin, lung, thymus, and gastrointestinal tract. Under pathological conditions such as inflammation, stromal cells, keratinocytes, Dendritic cells (DC) and mast cells can also secrete TSLP.
  • TSLP plays an important role in the initial triggering of allergic and adaptive airway inflammation.
  • TSLP Compared with healthy controls, TSLP is highly expressed in the airways of asthmatic patients, and its level is directly related to the expression of TH2 cytokines and chemokines, and the severity of the disease.
  • TSLP can induce the maturation of dendritic cells (DC) and up-regulate the expression of OX40L.
  • DC dendritic cells
  • OX40-OX40L participates in the polarization of TH2 cells induced by initial T cells, which release IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, etc. after differentiation
  • Cytokines cause the infiltration of mast cells and eosinophils and a series of allergic inflammatory reactions, which cause pathological changes in the airway, leading to asthma attacks.
  • TSLP can effectively activate mast cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, produce IL-13 and other TH2 cytokines, and aggravate the occurrence and development of airway inflammation.
  • NKT natural killer T
  • the receptor of TSLP is a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL-7R ⁇ and a unique TSLPR chain (CRFL2).
  • the binding of TSLP heterodimeric receptor causes activation of STAT5 and cell proliferation.
  • DC cells have high expression of TSLPR and IL-7R ⁇ .
  • the inventors first developed a chimeric antibody with excellent properties, which can bind to human TSLP. On this basis, the inventors conducted research and modification on the chimeric antibody, and developed a fully human antibody of the chimeric antibody.
  • the fully human antibody of the present invention has substantially the same (or even better) biological functions as the chimeric antibody. Not only has a strong affinity for TSLP, but also can effectively block the proliferation effect of TSLP on Ba/F3 cells, as well as the ability of TSLP to activate PBMC and secrete cytokines.

胸腺基质淋巴细胞生成素(Thymic stromal lymphopoietin,TSLP)是一种与IL7类似的炎症细胞因子。TSLP对微生物、物理损伤或炎症细胞因子(如IL-1β和TNF)等响应,主要由皮肤、肺、胸腺与胃肠道等上皮细胞分泌,在炎症等病理状况下,基质细胞、角质细胞、树突状细胞(DC)和肥大细胞等也能分泌TSLP。TSLP在过敏性和适应性气道炎症的初始触发中有重要作用。与健康对照组相比,TSLP在哮喘患者气道高表达,其水平与TH2细胞因子和趋化因子的表达,以及疾病的严重程度直接相关。TSLP可诱导树突状细胞(DC)成熟,上调OX40L的表达,OX40-OX40L的相互作用参与初始T细胞诱导的TH2细胞极化,其分化后释放IL-4、IL-5、IL-13等细胞因子,引起肥大细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞浸润及系列变态炎性反应,使气道发生病理改变,从而导致哮喘发作。TSLP可有效地激活肥大细胞、自然杀伤T(NKT)细胞,产生IL-13等TH2型细胞因子,加重气道炎症的发生发展。
TSLP的受体是由IL-7Rα和独特TSLPR链(CRFL2)所组成的异源二聚体受体复合物。TSLP异源二聚受体的结合引起STAT5的活化及细胞增殖。DC细胞具有高表达的TSLPR和IL-7Rα。

术语定义
在本文中,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、免疫学实验室等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。
如本发明所用的并在所附权利要求书中的单数形式“一个”和“所述”等包括复数涵义,除非上下文中清楚地另有指明。因此,单数词语“一个”的涵义包括了“一个或多个”。
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CDR和4个FR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。
在本文中,本发明的抗体或其抗原结合片段含有的CDR可根据本领域已知的各种编号系统确定。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,AbM或IMGT编号系统确定。
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”是非淋巴细胞表达的免疫球蛋白的编码基因,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成熟过程。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编码的氨基酸序列比成熟抗体基因编码的氨基酸序列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”是指抗体的多肽片段,例如全长抗体的多肽片段,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),其以其全文通过引用并入本文,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(如技术来自Ablynx)、结构域抗体(如技术来自Domantis)、和这样的多肽,其包含足以赋予多肽特异性抗原结合能力的抗体的至少一部分。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”和两条“全长轻链”组成的抗体。其中,“全长重链”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”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”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))。
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。抗IL-17a的fynomer与抗IL-6R抗体结合,如WO2015141862A1。
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。
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。
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“单克隆抗体”、“单抗”、“mAb”具有相同的含义且可互换使用,是指来自一群高度同源的抗体分子(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)中的一个抗体。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。
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(Cabilly et al.的美国专利4,816,567;Morrison et al.,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA,81:6851 6855(1984))。
在本发明中,本发明抗体的预期性质包括:(1)抑制或阻断TSLP与TSLPR/IL7Rα结合;(2)下调或消除TSLP的活性;(3)下调或阻断OX40L的表达;(4)抑制Th2类细胞因子的分泌;(5)预防或治疗变态反应性炎症。本发明的人源化抗体保留了亲本抗体(人源抗体或鼠-人嵌合抗体)的上述预期性质中的一项或多项。
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(参见例如,Jakobovits等,1993,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 90:2551;Jakobovits等,1993,Nature 362:255-258;Bruggermann等,1993,Year in Immunology 7:33;和Duchosal等,1992,Nature 355:258;Lonberg等人(1994)Nature 368(6474):856-859;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“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用相互作用的解离平衡常数(KD)表示。在本文中,术语“KD”是指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的解离平衡常数,其用于描述抗体与抗原之间的结合亲和力。解离平衡常数越小,抗体-抗原结合越紧密,抗体与抗原之间的亲和力越高。在某些实施方式中,特异性结合某抗原的抗体(或对某抗原具有特异性的抗体)是指,抗体以小于约10 -8M,例如小于约10 -8M、10 -9M、10 -10M或10 -11M或更小的KD结合该抗原。在某些实施方案中,当KD≤10×10 -8M时,本发明的抗体或其抗原结合片段被认为特异性地结合TSLP。
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。
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。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。两个氨基酸序列之间的%同一性也可用E.Meyers和W.Miller(Comput.Appl.Biosci.,4:11-17(1988))的算法来确定。
如本文中所使用的,具有“%同一性”的序列保留与其比较或来源的序列的重要生物活性,如抗体结合特异性。具有一个或几个氨基酸的置换、缺失或添加或其任意组合的序列保留与其比较或来源的序列的重要生物活性,如抗体结合特异性。具有“%同一性”的核苷酸序列或相差不超过3、6、15、30或45个核苷酸的核苷酸序列能够实现与其比较或来源的核苷酸序列近似的功能,如所表达的蛋白都能特异地结合同一抗原或分子。
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。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)。
本文涉及的二十个常规氨基酸的编写遵循常规用法。参见例如,Immunology-A Synthesis(2nd Edition,E.S.Golub and D.R.Gren,Eds.,Sinauer Associates,Sunderland,Mass.(1991)),其以引用的方式并入本文中。在本文中,术语“多肽”和“蛋白质”具有相同的含义且可互换使用。并且在本发明中,氨基酸通常用本领域公知的单字母和三字母缩写来表示。例如,丙氨酸可用A或Ala表示;精氨酸可用R或Arg表示;甘氨酸可用G或Gly表示;谷氨酰胺可用Q或Gln表示。
如本文中所使用的,术语“药学上可接受的载体和/或赋形剂”是指在药理学和/或生理学上与受试者和活性成分相容的载体和/或赋形剂,其是本领域公知的(参见例如Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.Edited by Gennaro AR,19th ed.Pennsylvania:Mack Publishing Company,1995),并且包括但不限于:pH调节剂,表面活性剂,佐剂,离子强度增强剂,稀释剂,维持渗透压的试剂,延迟吸收的试剂,防腐剂。例如,pH调节剂包括但不限于磷酸盐缓冲液。表面活性剂包括但不限于阳离子,阴离子或者非离子型表面活性剂,例如Tween-80。离子强度增强剂包括但不限于氯化钠。防腐剂包括但不限于各种抗细菌试剂和抗真菌试剂,例如对羟苯甲酸酯,三氯叔丁醇,苯酚,山梨酸等。维持渗透压的试剂包括但不限于糖、NaCl及其类似物。延迟吸收的试剂包括但不限于单硬脂酸盐和明胶。稀释剂包括但不限于水,水性缓冲液(如缓冲盐水),醇和多元醇(如甘油)等。防腐剂包括但不限于各种抗细菌试剂和抗真菌试剂,例如硫柳汞,2-苯氧乙醇,对羟苯甲酸酯,三氯叔丁醇, 苯酚,山梨酸等。稳定剂具有本领域技术人员通常理解的含义,其能够稳定药物中的活性成分的期望活性,包括但不限于谷氨酸钠,明胶,SPGA,糖类(如山梨醇,甘露醇,淀粉,蔗糖,乳糖,葡聚糖,或葡萄糖),氨基酸(如谷氨酸,甘氨酸),蛋白质(如干燥乳清,白蛋白或酪蛋白)或其降解产物(如乳白蛋白水解物)等。
如本文中所使用的,术语“预防”是指,为了阻止或延迟疾病或病症或症状(例如,哮喘、变态反应性炎症、过敏反应或自身免疫性疾病)在受试者体内的发生而实施的方法。如本文中所使用的,术语“治疗”是指,为了获得有益或所需临床结果而实施的方法。为了本发明的目的,有益或所需的临床结果包括但不限于,减轻症状、缩小疾病的范围、稳定(即,不再恶化)疾病的状态,延迟或减缓疾病的发展、改善或减轻疾病的状态、和缓解症状(无论部分或全部),无论是可检测或是不可检测的。此外,“治疗”还可以指,与期望的存活期相比(如果未接受治疗),延长存活期。
如本文中使用的,术语“受试者”是指哺乳动物,例如灵长类哺乳动物,例如非人灵长类哺乳动物或人。在某些实施方式中,所述受试者(例如人)患有哮喘、变态反应性炎症、过敏反应或自身免疫性疾病,或者,具有患有上述疾病的风险。

具体实施方式
现参照下列意在举例说明本发明(而非限定本发明)的实施例来描述本发明。
除非特别指明,本发明中所使用的分子生物学实验方法和免疫检测法,基本上参照J.Sambrook等人,分子克隆:实验室手册,第2版,冷泉港实验室出版社,1989,以及F.M.Ausubel等人,精编分子生物学实验指南,第3版,John Wiley&Sons,Inc.,1995中所述的方法进行。本领域技术人员知晓,实施例以举例方式描述本发明,且不意欲限制本发明所要求保护的范围。
实施例1:抗原的制备
在大肠杆菌或者哺乳动物细胞中表达人TSLP或者猴TSLP。人TSLP的氨基酸序列参考NCBI的蛋白数据库中的NP_149024.1。食蟹猴(Macaca fascicularis)TSLP的氨基酸序列参考NCBI的蛋白数据库中的XP_005557555.1。本申请中使用的抗原包括以经修饰形式表达的TSLP,例如在TSLP序列的C末端融合表达6个连续的组氨酸作为标签(TSLP-His)。上述人或猴TSLP的序列经由金斯瑞公司进行密码子优化,合成于表达载体上(即含人TSLP完整编码序列的质粒),并在大肠杆菌中,或者哺乳动物细胞HEK293F细胞中表达和纯化。
TSLP的天然受体是异源二聚体,由人TSLPR与人IL7R alpha(IL7Rα)亚基组 成。人TSLPR的序列参考(Uniprot:Q9HC73.1);人IL7R alpha亚基的序列参考(GenBank:AAR08908.1)。人hIL7Rα-hTSLPR-hFc融合蛋白是将人IL7Rα胞外区(E21-D239)、人TSLPR受体的胞外区(Q23-K231)和人IgG1Fc区域的部分编码序列(Hinge-CH2-CH3)串联在一起组成。通过密码子优化,构建在pLVX表达载体上。并利用pLVX载体建立HEK293F的表达稳定细胞系,最终纯化获得hIL7Rα-hTSLPR-hFc的融合蛋白。
实施例2:人TSLPR/IL7Rα双基因过表达细胞系的构建与鉴定
2.1人TSLPR/IL7Rα双基因过表达细胞系的构建

细胞系采用流式细胞仪(流式细胞仪:Beckman,CytoFlex;检测抗体APC-anti-human TSLPR(Biolegend),APC-anti-human IL7Rα(Biolegend))进行鉴定,确定单克隆细胞正确表达人TSLPR和人IL7Rα。如图1所示,流式结果显示Ba/F3-hTSLPR-hIL7Rα是表达这2种基因(接近100%)、均一性较好的单克隆细胞系,可用于后续实验。
实施例3:小鼠免疫与杂交瘤融合
3.1小鼠免疫
采用全人源转基因小鼠H2L2(和铂医药)进行免疫,分别采用大肠杆菌表达的人TSLP(NP_149024.1)、哺乳动物细胞表达的人TSLP(NP_149024.1)、哺乳动物表达的猴TSLP(XP_005557555.1),以及含人TSLP完整编码序列的质粒进行多次免疫。每两周进行一次加强免疫,共5-6次。免疫期间,每两周通过ELISA方法检测抗人TSLP抗体的血清效价(参见实施例4.1),经过多轮免疫并根据效价情况选择最佳效价的小鼠使用以下方案融合以生成杂交瘤。
3.2融合方法
将小鼠脾脏和淋巴结单细胞悬液混合后,加入相同数量的SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞并混匀。细胞混合液经电融合缓冲液洗涤重悬,用BTX-ECM2001电融合仪融合后,立即将细胞悬液从融合舱室中转移至完全融合培养基中,37℃孵育1小时。按2×10 4个细胞每孔的密度进行96孔板铺板。培养5天后使用完全融合培养基换液,7-10天时取上清进行杂交瘤筛选。
实施例4:杂交瘤筛选
4.1人TSLP结合ELISA筛选
将可溶性的人TSLP-His蛋白在1xCBS包被液中稀释至1μg/ml,并加入到96孔板,并在4℃下孵育过夜。用PBST洗涤96孔板,并在37℃下用封闭液(PBS+2%BSA)将板封闭2小时。向板中加入杂交瘤上清液,或加入同等体积封闭液,在37℃培养箱中将板培育2小时。96孔板中加入山羊抗大鼠IgG-HRP,在37℃培养箱中将板孵育1小时,洗涤并在450nm下读取OD。

4.3阻断人TSLP-His与嵌合受体IL7Rα-TSLPR-hFc结合ELISA筛选
根据以下方案测定杂交瘤上清液或纯化抗体阻断人TSLP-His与嵌合受体IL7Rα-TSLPR-hFc的结合。
将可溶性的hIL7Rα-hTSLPR-hFc蛋白在1xCBS包被液中稀释,并加入到96孔板,并在4℃下培育过夜。用PBST洗涤96孔板,并在37℃下,用封闭液PBS+2%BSA将板封闭2小时。向板中加入哺乳动物细胞重组表达的hTSLP-His蛋白(+/-),并加入杂交瘤上清液或加入同等体积封闭液,在37℃培养箱中将板培育2小时。96孔板中加入小鼠抗His-HRP,在37℃培养箱中将板培育1小时,洗涤并在450nm下读取OD。选择抑制率强的杂交瘤作为候选克隆。
根据以上亲和ELISA和竞争ELISA的活性,选择阳性克隆采用有限稀释法进行亚克隆分选以获得亚克隆。最终获得能够与人TSLP-His、猴TSLP-His结合,同时能够阻断人TSLP-His与嵌合受体hIL7Rα-hTSLPR-hFc结合的杂交瘤亚克隆。如表1所示,5个单克隆均与人TSLP(hTSLP)和猴TSLP(cTSLP)有较强的结合能力,也均能阻断人TSLP与其受体hIL7Rα-hTSLPR-hFc的结合能力,抑制率超过60%。

实施例5:抗TSLP嵌合抗体制备
对照抗体表达:对照抗体序列参考chEMBL数据库(ID:CHEMBL3707229)。对照抗体的重链和轻链碱基序列合成在pTT5表达载体,并通过CHO-S细胞(购买自Thermo公司)瞬时转染与表达,然后通过Protein A(MabSelect SuRe,GE)进行亲和纯化,获得对照抗体。
将杂交瘤单克隆进行无血清培养,获得50mL上清,然后通过Protein A(MabSelect SuRe,GE)进行纯化获得杂交瘤嵌合抗体。因H2L2小鼠抗体恒定区通过基因改造为大鼠恒定区,所以纯化获得的抗体为全人源可变区携带大鼠Fc的嵌合抗体。纯化的抗体采用分光光度法定量,获得嵌合抗体25A5C5,27C2B6,37C2D10,43B1A8和90H3H11。
