Each heavy chain contains a heavy chain variable region and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain contains a light chain variable region and a light chain constant region. In addition to this typical full-length antibody structure, its structure also includes other derivative forms.
- variable region refers to the domain in the heavy or light chain of an antibody that is involved in the binding of the antibody to the antigen.
- the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of natural antibodies (VH and VL, respectively) generally have similar structures and can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions interspersed in more conservative regions (called framework regions (FR)) (Called the complementarity determining region (CDR)).
- CDR complementarity determining region
- CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 refers to the amino acid residues of the variable region of an antibody, the presence of which is necessary for antigen binding.
- Each variable region usually has 3 CDR regions identified as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3.
- Each complementarity determining region may contain amino acid residues from the “complementarity determining region” defined by Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). .1991)) and/or those residues from the "hypervariable loop" (Chothia and Lesk; J Mol Biol 196:901-917 (1987)).
- framework or "FR” residues are those variable region residues other than the CDR residues as defined herein.
- Each heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region usually contains 3 CDRs and up to 4 FRs, and the CDRs and FRs are arranged in the following order, for example, from the amino terminal to the carboxy terminal: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
- CDR complementarity determining region
- FR framework region
- constant region refers to such amino acid sequences on the light chain and heavy chain of an antibody that do not directly participate in the binding of the antibody to the antigen, but exhibit a variety of effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cytotoxicity.
- complete antibodies can be classified into five classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, among which IgG and IgA can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2 , IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2.
- the heavy chains of the five types of antibodies are classified into ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ chains, respectively.
- the amino acid sequence of the constant region of its light chain the light chain of an antibody can be classified into ⁇ and ⁇ . .
- an "antigen-binding fragment of an antibody” comprises a part of a complete antibody molecule that retains at least some of the binding specificity of the parent antibody, and usually includes at least part of the antigen-binding region or variable region (for example, one or more CDRs) of the parent antibody.
- antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, Fd fragment, Fd' fragment, single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv, di-scFv, or tri-scFv , Diabody or scFab), single domain antibody.
- antibody fragment is a non-complete antibody molecule that retains at least some biological properties of the parent antibody, and examples thereof include, but are not limited to, Fc fragments in addition to those described in the above-mentioned "antigen-binding fragments".
- modified drug molecule refers to an antibody or fragment thereof, such as an antigen-binding fragment that forms a covalent or non-covalent link with another molecule or forms a recombinant multi-target fusion drug, and the other molecule is selected from a small molecule compound or a biological Macromolecule.
- chimeric antibody refers to an antibody in which a part of the heavy chain and/or light chain is derived from a specific source or species, and the remaining part is derived from a different source or species.
- Humanized antibodies are a subset of “chimeric antibodies.”
- humanized antibody or “humanized antigen-binding fragment” is defined herein as an antibody or antibody fragment: (i) derived from a non-human source (for example, a transgenic mouse carrying a heterologous immune system) And antibodies based on human germline sequences; or (ii) chimeric antibodies in which the variable region is of non-human origin and the constant region is of human origin; or (iii) CDR-grafted, in which the CDR of the variable region is derived from a non-human source, and One or more framework regions of the variable region are of human origin, and the constant region (if any) is of human origin.
- the purpose of "humanization” is to eliminate the immunogenicity of non-human source antibodies in the human body, while retaining the greatest possible affinity.
- a “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population, that is, the population comprising a single antibody is identical except for possible mutations (such as natural mutations) that may be present in very small amounts. Therefore, the term “monoclonal” indicates the nature of the antibody, that is, it is not a mixture of unrelated antibodies. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which usually include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single set of determinants on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, the advantage of monoclonal antibody preparations is that they are generally not contaminated by other antibodies. The term “monoclonal” should not be understood as requiring the production of the antibody by any specific method. The term monoclonal antibody specifically includes chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies and human antibodies.
- the antibody "specifically binds" to an antigen of interest, such as a virus-associated antigen protein (herein, spike protein S), that is, binds to the antigen with sufficient affinity so that the antibody can be used as a therapeutic agent, and targets those expressing the antigen.
- an antigen of interest such as a virus-associated antigen protein (herein, spike protein S)
- spike protein S virus-associated antigen protein
- Viruses or cells and have no significant cross-reactivity with other proteins or with proteins other than homologs and variants (such as mutant forms, splice variants, or proteolytically truncated forms) of the antigen target mentioned above No significant cross-reaction.
- binding affinity refers to the strength of the sum of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule and its binding partner. Unless otherwise specified, "binding affinity” as used herein refers to intrinsic binding affinity, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (eg, antibody and antigen). "KD”, "association rate constant kon” and “dissociation rate constant koff” are generally used to describe the affinity between a molecule (such as an antibody) and its binding partner (such as an antigen), that is, how tightly a ligand binds to a specific protein. Binding affinity is affected by interactions between non-covalent molecules, such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobicity between two molecules and van der Waals forces. In addition, the binding affinity between the ligand and its target molecule may be affected by the presence of other molecules. Affinity can be analyzed by conventional methods known in the art, including the ELISA described herein.
- epitope includes any protein determinant capable of specifically binding to an antibody or T cell receptor.
- Epitope determinants usually consist of chemically active surface groups of molecules (such as amino acids or sugar side chains, or combinations thereof), and usually have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics and specific charge characteristics.
- Isolated antibodies are antibodies that have been identified and isolated from cells that naturally express the antibody. Isolated antibodies include in situ antibodies in recombinant cells as well as antibodies that are usually prepared through at least one purification step.
- sequence identity between two polypeptide or nucleic acid sequences means the percentage of the number of residues that are identical between the sequences to the total number of residues.
- sequences being compared are aligned in a way that produces the largest match between the sequences, and the gaps in the alignment (if any) are resolved by a specific algorithm.
- Preferred computer program methods for determining the identity between two sequences include, but are not limited to, the GCG program package, including GAP, BLASTP, BLASTN and FASTA (Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410) .
- the above procedures are publicly available from the International Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and other sources.
- NCBI International Center for Biotechnology Information
- Smith Waterman algorithm can also be used to determine identity.
- receptor is a biochemical concept that refers to a class of molecules that can transmit extracellular signals and produce specific effects in cells. The effect may only last for a short period of time, such as changing cell metabolism or cell movement. It may also be a long-term effect, such as up-regulating or down-regulating the expression of a certain gene or genes.
- Fc receptor refers to a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. Natural sequence human FcR is preferred, and receptors ( ⁇ receptors) that bind to IgG antibodies are preferred, which include Fc ⁇ RI, Fc ⁇ RII and Fc ⁇ RIII subtypes, and variants of these receptors. Other FcRs are included in the term “FcR”.
- the term also includes the neonatal receptor (FcRn), which is responsible for the transport of maternal IgG to the fetus (Guyer et al., Journal of Immunology 117:587 (1976) and Kim et al., Journal of Immunology 24:249 (1994)).
- FcRn neonatal Fc receptor
- the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in the metabolic fate of IgG antibodies in the body. FcRn functions to rescue IgG from the lysosomal degradation pathway, thereby reducing its clearance in serum and increasing its half-life. Therefore, the in vitro FcRn binding properties/characteristics of IgG indicate its in vivo pharmacokinetic properties in the blood circulation.
- effector function refers to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody, which vary with antibody isotype.
- antibody effector functions include: C1q binding and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, "antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), Cytokine secretion, immune complex-mediated antigen uptake by antigen-presenting cells, down-regulation of cell surface receptors (such as B cell receptors), and B cell activation.
- effector cells refers to leukocytes that express one or more FcRs and perform effector functions.
- the effector cell at least expresses FcyRIII and performs ADCC effector function.
- human leukocytes that mediate ADCC include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, cytotoxic T cells, and neutrophils.
- PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- NK natural killer cells
- monocytes cytotoxic T cells
- neutrophils effector cells can be isolated from natural sources, for example, blood. Effector cells are usually lymphocytes associated with the effector stage and function to produce cytokines (helper T cells), kill cells infected by pathogens (cytotoxic T cells) or secrete antibodies (differentiated B cells) .
- Immune cells include cells that have hematopoietic origin and play a role in immune responses. Immune cells include: lymphocytes, such as B cells and T cells; natural killer cells; myeloid cells, such as monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, and granulocytes.
- ADCC antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
- cytotoxic cells such as NK cells, neutrophils, and macrophages.
- Ig on the Fc ⁇ receptor enables these cytotoxic effector cells to specifically bind to the target cell carrying the antigen, and then kill the target cell using, for example, a cytotoxin.
- an in vitro ADCC assay can be performed, such as the in vitro ADCC assay described in U.S. Patent No. 5,500,362 or 5,821,337 or U.S. Patent No. 6,737,056 (Presta), and the method described in the Examples of this application .
- Useful effector cells for such assays include PBMC and NK cells.
- “Complement dependent cytotoxicity” or “CDC” refers to the lysis of target cells in the presence of complement.
- the activation of the classical complement pathway is initiated by the binding of the first component of the complement system (C1q) to an antibody (of the appropriate subclass), wherein the antibody binds to its corresponding antigen.
- C1q the first component of the complement system
- CDC assays can be performed, such as the CDC assays described in Gazzano-Santoro et al., J. Immunol Methods 202:163 (1996), such as the methods described in the examples of this application, such as The method described in U.S. Patent No. 6,194,551B1 and WO1999/51642, in which polypeptide variants with altered Fc region amino acid sequence (polypeptides with variant Fc region) and polypeptide variants with enhanced or reduced C1q binding are described .
