Definitions
- the present invention relates to anti-CNTN4 specific antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof, to therapeutic compositions comprising them, and to their use for activating T cells, such as for the treatment of cancer.
- the human body has a defense system that protects itself from external invaders (viruses, toxins, etc.) and harmful internal changes (cancer cell mutations).
- cancer cells Unlike normal cells, cancer cells have specific antigens on their surface and are destroyed by the immune system in the early stage of cancer development. Afterwards, when the balance between the cancer cells that want to proliferate indefinitely and the immune cells that try to attack them are out of balance, the cancer cells begin to multiply. As cancer cells grow further, the body's immune system is disturbed. At this time, some cancer cells use the immune checkpoint of immune cells to evade immunity. .
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that attack cancer cells by activating T cells by blocking the activation of immune checkpoint proteins involved in T cell suppression, and include CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 inhibitors.
- Representative drugs currently on the market include ipilimumab (trade name: YERVOY®) as a CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody, nivolumab (trade name: OPDIVO®) as a PD-1 monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab (trade name: KEYTRUDA®), etc.
- PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies such as atezolizumab (trade name: TECENTRIQ®) and durvalumab (trade name: IMFINZI®).
- Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2019-0116930 discloses that CNTN4 can be used as a new target for cancer treatment using the human immune system.
- the above Korean patent application discloses that CNTN4 inhibits T cell activity.
- the present invention is to provide an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to the CNTN4 protein and neutralizes the immune evasion mechanism of CNTN4.
- the present invention also provides a composition for preventing or treating diseases caused by decreased T cell activity, such as cancer, by activating T cells by blocking the immune evasion mechanism of CNTN4 using the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
- the present invention also provides a composition for analysis or detection of CNTN4 protein using the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
- the present invention provides an anti-CNTN4 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to the CNTN4 protein.
- the antibody or antigen-binding fragment specifically binds to a CNTN4 protein, such as a human or mouse CNTN4 protein, and neutralizes the immune evasion mechanism of CNTN4. Accordingly, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present invention can increase the activity of T cells, such as CD4+ T cells or CD8+ T cells, that were inhibited by CNTN4.
- the present invention provides
- a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1;
- heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2
- an anti-CNTN4 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprising a.
- the antibody of the invention may be a monoclonal antibody.
- the present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding said antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and a recombinant expression vector comprising said nucleic acid molecule.
- the present invention also provides a composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as an active ingredient.
- the pharmaceutical composition may be used in combination with additional anticancer agents, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapeutic agents, or may be used in combination with radiation therapy.
- the present invention also provides a composition for analysis or detection of CNTN4 protein, comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
- CNTN4 protein is an immune checkpoint protein, and the degree of immune evasion according to the suppression of T cell activity is stronger than PD-L1, which is known as an immune checkpoint protein.
- novel anti-CNTN4 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present invention can be effectively used for preventing or treating diseases caused by decreased T cell activity, particularly cancer, by activating T cells by blocking the immune evasion mechanism of CNTN4. . Accordingly, when the anti-CNTN4 antibody of the present invention is used, an excellent anticancer effect can be exhibited against a cancer that could not achieve a therapeutic effect with the existing immunotherapy.
- 1 is a graph showing the degree to which CNTN4 inhibits the activity of human T cells compared to PD-L1.
- Figure 2 shows the amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chain variable regions of the monoclonal antibody generated according to Example 2.
- FIG. 3 shows the binding ability of the monoclonal antibody hAb-1 to the antigenic proteins human CNTN4 and mouse CNTN4.
