Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of antibodies, in particular, to CD3 humanized antibodies and applications thereof.
  • TCR-CD3 complex CD3 molecule and T cell (antigen) receptor (T cell receptor, TCR) form a TCR-CD3 complex, which plays an extremely important role in the process of T cell antigen recognition and immune response generation.
  • TCR has two polymorphic subunits (TCR ⁇ or TCR ⁇ ), the cytoplasmic region of TCR is very short, and its main function is to recognize antigens presented by binding MHC molecules.
  • CD3 molecule is an important differentiation antigen on the T cell membrane and is a characteristic marker of mature T cells. It consists of four chains of ⁇ or five chains of ⁇ .
  • CD3 ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ exist in two non-covalent bond forms, ⁇ and ⁇ heterodimers; the vast majority of ⁇ chains exist in the form of homodimers, namely ⁇ - ⁇ ; ⁇ and ⁇ chains It is two different spliced forms of the same gene, and only 10% exists in the form of heterodimer ( ⁇ - ⁇ ), but the expression level of human ⁇ is very low, and there is still lack of molecular level evidence in human cells to prove ⁇ Protein products and their presence in cells as transcripts.
  • Each chain of CD3 has an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in the intracellular region.
  • ITAM immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif
  • TCR can activate some PTKs after antigen binding, including TCR-linked p59fyn, ZAP-70 ( ⁇ associated protein-70), CD4/CD8-linked p56lck, and other src-related PTKs, which subsequently lead to tyrosine phosphorylation of various substrates , thereby transmitting downstream signals of the immune response.
  • the SP34 antibody is an antibody that specifically binds to the CD3 ⁇ subunit and is used in the development of antibody drugs and/or cell therapy.
  • SP34 antibody is a mouse-derived antibody, and the mouse antibody has strong immunogenicity. In clinical application, it will cause human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) reaction and anti-antibody reaction (AAR), etc., resulting in a shortened half-life, easy to be cleared, treatment The effect is weakened, and it can even threaten the patient's life. Therefore, the humanization of murine CD3 ⁇ antibody SP34 is of great significance for the further development and drug development of this antibody.

Description

CD3人源化抗体及其应用
本公开要求于2020年12月25日向中国专利局提交、发明名称为“CD3人源化抗体及其应用”,申请号为CN202011565227.2的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本公开中。
技术领域
本公开涉及抗体领域,具体而言,涉及CD3人源化抗体及其应用。
背景技术
CD3分子与T细胞(抗原)受体(T cell receptor,TCR)组成TCR-CD3复合体,在T细胞抗原识别和免疫应答产生过程中具有极其重要的作用。TCR/CD3复合体中,TCR有两个多态型亚单位(TCRαβ或TCRγδ),TCR胞浆区非常短,主要功能是识别结合MHC分子提呈的抗原。CD3分子是T细胞膜上的重要分化抗原,是成熟T细胞的特征性标志。它由εδγζ四种链或εδγζη五种链组成。在复合体中,CD3γ、δ和ε以二种非共价键形式γε和δε异源二聚体存在;ζ链绝大多数以同源二聚体即ζ-ζ形式存在;ζ和η链是同一基因的两种不同的拼接形式,仅有10%以异源二聚体(ζ-η)形式存在,但人类η表达水平很低,人体细胞中至今还缺乏分子水平的证据来证明η蛋白产物及其在细胞中转录物的存在。CD3每条链在胞内区均有免疫受体酪氨酸活化基序(immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif,简称ITAM)。经突变及嵌合分子等研究证实,ITAM是TCR信号转导的结构基础,单独分离的ITAM能够转TCR介导的信号。TCR与抗原结合后可激活一些PTKs,包括TCR相连的p59fyn、ZAP-70(ζassociated protein-70)、CD4/CD8相连的p56lck以及其它src相关的PTKs随后引起多种底物的酪氨酸磷酸化,从而传递免疫反应的下游信号。
SP34抗体为特异性结合CD3ε亚基的抗体,被用于开发抗体药物和/或细胞治疗。但SP34抗体为鼠源抗体,鼠抗具有较强的免疫原性,在临床应用中会引起人抗鼠抗体(HAMA)反应和抗抗体反应(AAR)等,导致半衰期缩短,易被清除,治疗效果减弱,严重的甚至威胁患者的生命。因此,鼠源CD3ε抗体SP34的人源化对该抗体进一步开发和成药具有重要意义。

本文术语“特异性结合”是指抗原结合分子(例如抗体)通常以高亲和力特异性结合抗原和实质上相同的抗原,但不以高亲和力结合不相关抗原。亲和力通常以平衡解离常数(equilibrium dissociation constant,KD)来反映,其中较低KD表示较高亲和力。以抗体为例,高亲和力通常指具有约1.00E-7M或更低、约1.00E-8M或更低、约1.00E-9M或更低、约1.00E-10M或更低、1.00E-11M或更低或1.00E-12M或更低的KD。KD计算方式如下:KD=Kd/Ka,其中Kd表示解离速率,Ka表示结合速率。可采用本领域周知的方法测量平衡解离常数KD,如表面等离子共振(例如Biacore)或平衡透析法测定。
本文术语“抗原结合分子”按最广义使用,是指特异性结合抗原的分子。示例性地,抗原结合分子包括但不限于抗体或抗体模拟物。“抗体模拟物”是指能够与抗原特异性结合,但与抗体结构无关的有机化合物或结合域,示例性地,抗体模拟物包括但不限于affibody、affitin、affilin、经设计的锚蛋白重复蛋白(DARPin)、核酸适体或Kunitz型结构域肽。
本文术语“抗体”按最广义使用,是指包含来自免疫球蛋白重链可变区的足够序列和/或来自免疫球蛋白轻链可变区的足够序列,从而能够特异性结合至抗原的多肽或多肽组合。本文“抗体”涵盖各种形式和各种结构,只要它们展现出期望的抗原结合活性。本文“抗体”包括具有移植的互补决定区(CDR)或CDR衍生物的替代蛋白质支架或人工支架。此类支架包括抗体衍生的支架(其包含引入以例如稳定化抗体三维结构的突变)以及包含例如生物相容性聚合物的全合成支架。参见,例如Korndorfer et al.,2003,Proteins:Structure,Function,and Bioinformatics,53(1):121-129(2003);Roque et al.,Biotechnol.Prog.20:639-654(2004)。此类支架还可以包括非抗体衍生的支架,例如本领域已知可用于移植CDR的支架蛋白,包括但不限于肌腱蛋白、纤连蛋白、肽适体等。
本文“抗体”包括一种典型的“四链抗体”,其属于由两条重链(HC)和两条轻链(LC)组成的免疫球蛋白;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;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;重链与重链之间、重链与轻链之间通过二硫键连接,形成“Y”字型结构。由于免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,故其抗原性也不同。据此,可将本文“免疫球蛋白”分为五类,或称为免疫球蛋白的同种型,即IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE,其相应的重链分别为μ链、δ链、γ链、α链和ε链。同一类Ig根据其铰链区氨基酸组成和重链二硫键的数目和位置的差别,又可分为不同的亚类,如IgG可分为IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4,IgA可分为IgA1和IgA2。轻链通过恒定区的不同分为κ链或λ链。五类Ig中第每类Ig都可以有κ链或λ链。
本文“抗体”还包括不包含轻链的抗体,例如,由单峰驼(Camelus dromedarius)、双峰驼(Camelus bactrianus)、大羊驼(Lama glama)、原驼(Lama guanicoe)和羊驼(Vicugna pacos)等骆驼科动物产生的重链抗体(heavy-chain antibodies,HCAbs)以及在鲨等软骨鱼纲中发现的免疫球蛋白新抗原受体(Ig new antigen receptor,IgNAR)。

本文术语“单克隆抗体”是指从基本上同质的抗体群体获得的抗体,即,除了可能的变异体(例如含有天然存在的突变或在制剂的生产过程中产生,此类变体通常以少量存在)之外,包含所述群体的各个抗体是相同的和/或结合相同的表位。与通常包括针对不同决定簇(表位)的不同抗体的多克隆抗体制剂相反,单克隆抗体制剂中的每种单克隆抗体针对抗原上的单一决定簇。本文修饰语“单克隆”不应解释为需要通过任何特定方法产生所述抗体或抗原结合分子。举例来说,单克隆抗体可通过多种技术制得,包括(但不限于)杂交瘤技术、重组DNA方法、噬菌体库展示技术和利用含有全部或部分人免疫球蛋白基因座的转殖基因动物的方法和其它本领域已知的方法。
本文术语“天然抗体”是指通过多细胞生物体的免疫系统制造和配对的抗体。本文术语“工程化抗体”的抗体是指通过基因工程、抗体工程等技术获得的非天然抗体,示例性地,“工程化抗体”包括人源化抗体、小分子抗体(例如scFv等)、双特异性抗体等等。

本文术语“多特异性抗体”是指具有至少两个抗原结合位点,所述至少两个抗原结合位点中的每一个抗原结合位点与相同抗原的不同表位或与不同抗原的不同表位结合。因此,诸如“双特异性”、“三特异性”、“四特异性”等术语是指抗体/抗原结合分子可以结合 的不同表位的数目。
本文术语“价”表示抗体/抗原结合分子中规定数目的结合位点的存在。因此,术语“单价”、“二价”、“四价”和“六价”分别表示抗体/抗原结合分子中一个结合位点、两个结合位点、四个结合位点和六个结合位点的存在。
本文“全长抗体”、“完好抗体”和“完整抗体”在本文中可互换使用,是指具有基本上与天然抗体结构相似的结构。
本文“抗原结合片段”和“抗体片段”在本文中可互换使用,其不具备完整抗体的全部结构,仅包含完整抗体的局部或局部的变体,所述局部或局部的变体具备结合抗原的能力。本文“抗原结合片段”或“抗体片段”包括但不限于Fab、Fab'、Fab'-SH、F(ab') 2、Fd、Fv、scFv、双抗体(diabody)和单域抗体。
完整抗体的木瓜蛋白酶消化生成两个同一的抗原结合片段,称作“Fab”片段,每个含有重和轻链可变域,还有轻链的恒定域和重链的第一恒定域(CH1)。如此,本文术语“Fab片段”指包含轻链的VL域和恒定域(CL)的轻链片段,和重链的VH域和第一恒定域(CH1)的抗体片段。Fab’片段因在重链CH1域的羧基末端增加少数残基而与Fab片段不同,包括来自抗体铰链区的一个或多个半胱氨酸。Fab’-SH是其中恒定域的半胱氨酸残基携带游离硫醇基团的Fab’片段。胃蛋白酶处理产生具有两个抗原结合位点(两个Fab片段)和Fc区的一部分的F(ab’) 2片段。
本文术语“Fd”是指由VH和CH1结构域组成的抗体。本文术语“Fv”是指由单臂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。
本文术语“scFv”(single-chain variable fragment)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)。可用于本公开的其他接头由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,形成二硫键连接的Fv(dsFv)。
本文术语“双抗体(diabody)”,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))。
本文术语“双特异性T细胞接合器(BiTE)”是基于串联排列的单链抗体的双特异性抗体形式,其包含两个单链可变区(scFv),其一靶向肿瘤细胞,另一scFv靶向免疫细胞(例如,靶向CD3),能够桥接肿瘤细胞和免疫细胞(特别是T细胞)。关于BiTE的进一步描述可参见WO 05/061547;Baeuerle,P等(2008)“BiTE:A New Class Of Antibodies That Recruit T Cells,”Drugs of the Future 33:137-147;Bargou,etal.2008)“Tumor Regression in Cancer Patients by Very Low Doses of a T Cell-Engaging Antibody,”Science 321:974-977。
本文术语“单域抗体”(single domain antibody,sdAb)、“VHH”和“纳米抗体(nanobody)”具有相同的含义并可互换使用,指克隆抗体重链的可变区,构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的单域抗体,它是具有完整功能的最小的抗原结合片段。通常先获得天然缺失轻链和重链恒定区1(CH1)的抗体后,再克隆抗体重链的可变区,构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的单域抗体。单域抗体可以衍生自骆驼科重链抗体或软骨纲鱼类IgNAR。

本文术语“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.P 4,816,567to Cabilly et al.;Morrison 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)。
本文术语“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或部分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。
本文术语“全人抗体”是指具有其中FR和CDR二者都源自人种系免疫球蛋白序列的可变区的抗体。此外,如果抗体包含恒定区,则恒定区也源自人种系免疫球蛋白序列。本文全人抗体可以包括不由人种系免疫球蛋白序列编码的氨基酸残基(例如,通过体外随机或位点特异性诱变或通过体内体细胞突变引入的突变)。然而,本文“全人抗体”不包括其中来源于另一个哺乳动物物种(例如小鼠)的种系的CDR序列已被移植到人框架序列上的抗体。
本文术语“可变区”是指抗体重链或轻链中牵涉使抗体结合抗原的区域,“重链可变区”与“VH”、“HCVR”可互换使用,“轻链可变区”与“VL”、“LCVR”可互换使用。天然抗体的重链和轻链的可变域(分别是VH和VL)一般具有相似的结构,每个域包含四个保守的框架区(FR)和三个高变区(HVR)。参见例如Kindt et al.,Kuby Immunology,6th ed.,W.H.Freeman and Co.,p.91(2007)。单个VH或VL域可足以赋予抗原结合特异性。本文 术语“互补决定区”与“CDR”可互换使用,通常指重链可变区(VH)或轻链可变区(VL)的高变区(HVR),该部位因在空间结构上可与抗原表位形成精密的互补,故又称为互补决定区,其中,重链可变区CDR可缩写为HCDR,轻链可变区CDR可缩写为LCDR。本术语“框架区”或“FR区”可互换,是指抗体重链可变区或轻链可变区中除CDR以外的那些氨基酸残基,HFR可指代重链可变区的框架区,LFR可指代轻链可变区的框架区。通常典型的抗体可变区由4个FR区和3个CDR区按以下顺序组成:FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4。

实施例1 SP34的人源化设计
通过比对IMGT(http://imgt.cines.fr)人类抗体重轻链可变区种系基因数据库,分别挑选IGLV7-43*01和IGLJ2*01作为鼠源抗体SP34选择的人源化轻链模板,IGHV3-73*01和IGHJ1*01作为人源化重链模板。首先,将鼠源抗体SP34的CDR分别移植到其人源模板的FR中,形成次序为FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4的可变区序列。根据抗体的三维结构模拟,将人源化抗体的FR区序列中关键氨基酸进行回复突变为鼠源抗体对应的氨基酸,以保证原有的亲和力。另外,将人源化抗体的CDR区序列中的部分氨基酸突变为人源模板对应的同源氨基酸以提高人源化程度,或者突变为其他氨基酸以优化分子的理化性质,得到人源化抗CD3单克隆抗体。 本实施例抗体氨基酸残基的编号和CDR区均 由Kabat编号系统确定并注释(详见 http://www.abysis.org/abysis/sequence_input/key_annotation/key_annotation.cgi)。通过上述方法设计得到的人源化抗体VL、VH分别见表1和表2。
