Attention has been paid to modifying the sugar chain structure in order to produce a highly functional antibody. Isolating an antibody having a uniform sugar chain structure from an antibody having a different sugar chain structure produced in CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells means that it is an aggregate of sugar chain structures having different microstructures, physicochemically.

本明細書は本願の優先権の基礎となる日本国特許出願番号2020-002968号の開示内容を包含する。
エンド-β-N-アセチルグルコサミニダーゼ(Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase:ENGase)を用いて、抗体に元々結合している糖鎖を切断する。この際、抗体の左右2つの重鎖のそれぞれに結合している糖鎖の両方を切断する。ENGaseは抗体等の糖タンパク質のN-結合型糖鎖の還元末端側に存在するN,N’-ジアセチルキトビオース間を加水分解し、糖鎖をエンド型に遊離する酵素である。ENGaseにより、抗体のFc領域のCHドメインに位置する297番目のアスパラギン(Asn)に結合しているN型複合型糖鎖の還元末端のN-アセチルグルコサミン(GlcNAc)1残基を残して、糖鎖が切断される。還元末端のN-アセチルグルコサミンには、フコースが結合していても、結合していなくてもよい。糖鎖を切断することを脱グリコシル化と呼ぶ。この結果、糖鎖が結合しておらず、GlcNAcのみが結合している抗体が生成する。
次いで、2本の重鎖に結合している両方の糖鎖を切断した抗体に、オキサゾリン化した糖鎖X又はオキサゾリンを発生させる糖誘導体であって糖誘導体の糖鎖が糖鎖Xである糖誘導体を混合し、糖鎖切断活性を抑制し糖鎖転移活性を向上させるように改変したENGase、すなわち加水分解能力が抑制されている一方で糖転移能力を有するENGaseを用いて糖鎖を結合させる。オキサゾリンを発生させる糖誘導体としては、糖ペプチド、パラニトロフェニルオリゴサッカライド等が挙げられる。糖鎖切断活性を抑制し糖鎖転移活性を向上させるように改変したENGaseとしては、糖鎖切断能力を抑えて、糖転移能力を保持した全てのENGasが含まれる。例えば、D233Q変異(233番目のアスパラギン酸(D)をグルタミン(Q)に置換)を有するEndoSが挙げられる。該変異抗体をEndoS D233Qと呼ぶ。また、糖鎖切断活性を抑制し糖鎖転移活性を向上させるように改変したENGaseには、Endo S2 D184M及びEndo S2 D184Q(Li, T. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 291, 16508-16518,(2016))、並びにEndo M N175Q(Katoh, T.et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291, 23305-23317)も含まれる。さらに、EndoS D233Q/Q303L、D233Q/A303L/E350Q(国際公開第WO2017/010559号公報)も含まれる。
(2)の方法で左右2本の重鎖のうちの1本鎖のみに糖鎖Xを有する1本鎖糖鎖抗体を精製した後に、もう一方の糖鎖が結合していない重鎖に糖鎖Yを結合させる。糖鎖Yは糖鎖Xと同じ方法で結合させればよい。すなわち、pH6~9、好ましくはpH6~8、15~40℃、好ましくは25~35℃で、抗体と改変ENGaseとを混合し、5~30時間、好ましくは10~25時間酵素反応を行えばよい。抗体とENGaseの添加量は適宜設定できるが、例えば5~100mg/mLの抗体溶液0.1~10mLに0.2~20mg/mLのENGaseを5~100μL添加すればよい。
抗体として、抗Her2抗体Herceptin(登録商標)(トラスツズマブ:Trastuzumab)を使用した。トラスツズマブは、乳がん、胃がんに対する抗体医薬である。糖鎖部分の合成は以下の様におこなった。
