Description

靶向冠状病毒的抗体在预防、治疗或改善COVID-19中的应用 技术领域
本发明属于生物技术领域,尤其涉及靶向冠状病毒的抗体在预防、治疗或改善COVID-19中的应用。
背景技术
冠状病毒为不分节段的单股正链RNA病毒,根据血清型和基因组特点冠状病毒亚科被分为α、β、γ和δ四个属,由于病毒包膜上有向四周伸出的突起,形如花冠而得名。2019年发现的新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2或2019-nCoV)属于β属的新型冠状病毒,有包膜,颗粒呈圆形或椭圆形,常为多形性,直径60-140nm。
新型冠状病毒肺炎COVID-19主要通过呼吸道传染,其也可能通过接触传播。人群普遍易感,老年人及有基础疾病者感染后病情较重,儿童及婴幼儿也有发病。基于目前的流行病学调查,新型冠状病毒的潜伏期一般为1-14天,大多数在3-7天。感染者的主要临床症状是发热、乏力、干咳,而鼻塞、流涕等上呼吸道症状少见。在发病早期,患者的白细胞总数正常或降低,或淋巴细胞数目减少,部分患者出现肝酶、肌酶和肌红蛋白增高的现象。胸部影像显示患者早期呈现多发小斑片影及间质改变,以肺外带明显;进而发展为双肺多发磨玻璃影、浸润影,严重者可出现肺实变,并逐渐出现呼吸困难,严重者发生急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)、休克以及肺组织、心脏、肾脏多种组织损伤和功能障碍。多数轻度感染患者预后良好,重度患者病情常常危重,甚至死亡。
发明内容
本发明提供了靶向冠状病毒的抗体用于预防、治疗或改善由新型冠状病毒引发的疾病(COVID-19)的方法或用途。一些实施方案中,所述靶向冠状病毒的抗体为对SARS-CoV-2的spike蛋白具有高亲和力的抗体。一些实施方案中,所述靶向冠状病毒的抗体为双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体或抗原结合片段。
本发明提供对SARS-CoV-2的spike蛋白具有高亲和力的双特异抗体或抗原结合片段。双特异抗体或抗原结合片段可以结合spike蛋白,阻止病毒颗粒和细胞结合以及可以介导免疫细胞吞噬、清除病毒颗粒。双特异抗体或抗原结合片段可用于预防、治疗或改善COVID-19如新型冠状病毒肺炎,也可以用于诊断COVID-19。
通过其表面的spike蛋白(S蛋白或棘突蛋白)与肺上皮细胞表面的一种称为血管紧张素转化酶2(ACE2)进行结合,SARS-CoV-2进入细胞内,并利用细胞为其合成新的病毒颗粒;新的病毒颗粒释放到细胞外,再利用同样的方式,病毒感染周围正常 的细胞。靶向spike蛋白的双特异抗体或抗原结合片段能阻断spike蛋白与ACE2的结合,进而阻断了病毒进入细胞,发挥抗病毒作用。本发明双特异抗体或抗原结合片段还可介导免疫细胞吞噬和清除病毒。
一些实施方案提供了靶向冠状病毒的双特异抗体,所述双特异抗体包含通过连接子L1连接的结合spike蛋白的第一结合部分以及结合spike蛋白的第二结合部分。

除非另作说明,否则下列的每一个术语应当具有下文所述的含义。
定义
应当注意的是,术语“一种”实体是指一种或多种该实体,例如“一种抗体”应当被理解为一种或多种抗体,因此,术语“一种”(或“一个”)、“一种或多种”和“至少一种”可以在本文中互换使用。
本文所用的术语“包含”或“包括”意味着组合物和方法等包括所列举的元素,例如组份或步骤,但不排除其它。“基本上由……组成”意味着组合物和方法排除对组合的特征有根本影响的其它元素,但不排除对组合物或方法无本质上影响的元素。“由……组成”意味着排除未特别列举的元素。
术语“多肽”旨在涵盖单数的“多肽”以及复数的“多肽”,并且是指由通过酰胺键(也称为肽键)线性连接的氨基酸单体形成的分子。术语“多肽”是指含两个或更多个氨基酸的任何单条链或多条链,并且不涉及产物的特定长度。因此,“多肽”的定义中包括肽、二肽、三肽、寡肽、“蛋白质”、“氨基酸链”或用于指两个或多个氨基酸链的任何其他术语,并且术语“多肽”可以用来代替上述任何一个术语,或者与上述任何一个术语交替使用。术语“多肽”也意在指多肽表达后修饰的产物,包括但不限于糖基化、乙酰化、磷酸化、酰胺化、通过已知的保护/封闭基团衍生化、蛋白水解切割或非天然发生的氨基酸修饰。多肽可以源自天然生物来源或通过重组技术产生,但其不必从指定的核酸序列翻译所得,它可能以包括化学合成的任何方式产生。
“氨基酸”是指既含氨基又含羧基的有机化合物,比如α-氨基酸,其可直接或以前体的形式由核酸编码。单个氨基酸由三个核苷酸(所谓的密码子或碱基三联体)组成的核酸编码。每一个氨基酸由至少一个密码子编码。相同氨基酸由不同密码子编码称为“遗传密码的简并性”。氨基酸包括天然氨基酸和非天然氨基酸。天然氨基酸包括丙氨酸(三字母代码:ala,一字母代码:A)、精氨酸(arg,R)、天冬酰胺(asn,N)、天冬氨酸(asp,D)、半胱氨酸(cys,C)、谷氨酰胺(gln,Q)、谷氨酸(glu,E)、甘氨酸(gly,G)、组氨酸(his,H)、异亮氨酸(ile,I)、亮氨酸(leu,L)、赖氨酸(lys,K)、甲硫氨酸(met,M)、苯丙氨酸(phe,F)、脯氨酸(pro,P)、丝氨酸(ser,S)、苏氨酸(thr,T)、色氨酸(trp,W)、酪氨酸(tyr,Y)和缬氨酸(val,V)。
“保守氨基酸取代”是指一个氨基酸残基被另一个含有化学性质(例如电荷或疏水性)相似的侧链(R基团)的氨基酸残基所取代。一般而言,保守氨基酸取代不大会在实质上改变蛋白质的功能性质。含有化学性质相似侧链的氨基酸类别的实例包括:1)脂族侧链:甘氨酸、丙氨酸、缬氨酸、亮氨酸和异亮氨酸;2)脂族羟基侧链:丝氨酸和苏氨酸;3)含酰胺的侧链:天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺;4)芳族侧链:苯丙氨酸、 酪氨酸和色氨酸;5)碱性侧链:赖氨酸、精氨酸和组氨酸;6)酸性侧链:天冬氨酸和谷氨酸。

本发明中关于细胞、核酸、多肽、抗体等所使用的术语“分离的”,例如“分离的”DNA、RNA、多肽、抗体是指分别于细胞天然环境中的其它组分如DNA或RNA中的一种或多种所分离的分子。本发明使用的术语“分离的”还指当通过重组DNA技术产生时基本上不含细胞材料、病毒材料或细胞培养基的核酸或肽,或化学合成时的化学前体或其他化学品。此外,“分离的核酸”意在包括不以天然状态存在的核酸片段,并且不会以天然状态存在。术语“分离的”在本发明中也用于指从其他细胞蛋白质或组织分离的细胞或多肽。分离的多肽意在包括纯化的和重组的多肽。分离的多肽、抗体等通常通过至少一个纯化步骤制备。在一些实施方案中,分离的核酸、多肽、抗体等的纯度至少为约50%、约60%、约70%、约80%、约90%、约95%、约99%,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括终点)或其中任何值。
术语“重组”涉及多肽或多聚核苷酸,意指天然不存在的多肽或多聚核苷酸的形式,不受限制的实施例可以通过组合产生通常并不存在的多聚核苷酸或多肽。
“同源性”或“同一性”是指两个肽之间或两个核酸分子之间的序列相似性。可以通过比较每个序列中可以比对的位置来确定同源性或同一性。当被比较的序列中的位置被相同的碱基或氨基酸占据时,则分子在该位置是同源的或同一的。序列之间的同源程度是由序列共有的匹配或同源位置的数目组成的一个函数。
“至少80%同一性”为约80%同一性、约81%同一性、约82%同一性、约83%同一性、约85%同一性、约86%同一性、约87%同一性、约88%同一性、约90%同一性、约91%同一性、约92%同一性、约94%同一性、约95%同一性、约98%同一性、约99%同一性,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括端点)或其中任何值。
“至少90%同一性”为约90%同一性、约91%同一性、约92%同一性、约93%同一性、约94%同一性、约95%同一性、约92%同一性、约96%同一性、约99%同一性,或这些数值中的任何两个值之间的范围(包括端点)或其中任何值。核酸或多聚核苷酸序列(或多肽或抗体序列)与另一序列有具有一定百分比(例如90%、95%、98% 或者99%)的“同一性”或“序列同一性”是指当序列比对时,所比较的两个序列中该百分比的碱基(或氨基酸)相同。可以使用目测或本领域已知的软件程序来确定该比对同一性百分比或序列同一性,比如Ausubel et al.eds.(2007)在Current Protocols in Molecular Biology中所述的软件程序。优选使用默认参数进行比对。其中一种比对程序是使用默认参数的BLAST,例如BLASTN和BLASTP,两者使用下列默认参数:Geneticcode=standard;filter=none;strand=both;cutoff=60;expect=10;Matrix=BLOSUM62;Descriptions=50sequences;sortby=HIGHSCORE;Databases=non-redundant;GenBank+EMBL+DDBJ+PDB+GenBankCDStranslations+SwissProtein+SPupdate+PIR。生物学上等同的多聚核苷酸是具有上述指定百分比的同一性并编码具有相同或相似生物学活性的多肽的多聚核苷酸。
多聚核苷酸是由四个核苷酸碱基的特定序列组成:腺嘌呤(A)、胞嘧啶(C)、鸟嘌呤(G)、胸腺嘧啶(T),或当多聚核苷酸是RNA时胸腺嘧啶换为尿嘧啶(U)。“多聚核苷酸序列”可以以多聚核苷酸分子的字母表示。该字母表示可以被输入到具有中央处理单元的计算机中的数据库中,并用于生物信息学应用,例如用于功能基因组学和同源性搜索。
术语“多聚核苷酸”、“核酸”和“寡核苷酸”可互换使用,是指任何长度的核苷酸的聚合形式,无论是脱氧核糖核苷酸还是核糖核苷酸或其类似物。多聚核苷酸可以具有任何三维结构并且可以执行已知或未知的任何功能。以下是不受限制的多聚核苷酸的实施例:基因或基因片段(例如探针、引物、EST或SAGE标签)、外显子、内含子、信使RNA(mRNA)、转运RNA、核糖体RNA、核糖酶、cDNA、dsRNA、siRNA、miRNA、重组多聚核苷酸、分支的多聚核苷酸、质粒、载体、任何序列的分离的DNA、任何序列的分离的RNA、核酸探针和引物。多聚核苷酸可以包含修饰的核苷酸,例如甲基化的核苷酸和核苷酸类似物。如果存在该修饰,则对核苷酸的结构修饰可以在组装多聚核苷酸之前或之后进行。核苷酸的序列可以被非核苷酸组分中断。聚合后可以进一步修饰多聚核苷酸,例如通过与标记组分缀合。这个术语也指双链和单链分子。除另有说明或要求外,本公开的任何多聚核苷酸的实施例包括双链形式和已知或预测构成双链形式的两种可互补单链形式中的每一种。
术语“编码”应用于多核苷酸时,是指被称为“编码”多肽的多核苷酸,在其天然状态或当通过本领域技术人员公知的方法操作时,经转录和/或翻译可以产生该多肽和/或其片段。
“抗体”是指特异性识别和结合抗原的多肽或多肽复合物。抗体可以是完整的抗体及其任何抗原结合片段或其单链。因此术语“抗体”包括分子中含有具有与抗原结合的生物学活性的免疫球蛋白分子的至少一部分的任何蛋白质或肽。抗体和抗原结合片段包括但不局限实施例所述的重链或轻链或其配体结合部分的互补决定区(CDR)、重链可变区(VH)、轻链可变区(VL)、重链恒定区(CH)、轻链恒定区(CL)、框架区(F R)或其任何部分,或结合蛋白的至少一部分。CDR区包括轻链的CDR区(LCDR1-3)和重链的CDR区(HCDR1-3)。可变区可包含结构FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4。
术语“抗体片段”或“抗原结合片段”指抗体的一部分,例如F(ab’)2、F(ab)2、Fab'、Fab、Fv、scFv等。不管其结构如何,抗体片段与被完整抗体识别的同一抗原结合。术语“抗体片段”包括适体、镜像异构体和双价抗体。术语“抗原结合片段”还包括通过与特定抗原结合形成复合物起抗体作用的任何合成或基因工程蛋白质。
“单链可变片段”或“scFv”是指免疫球蛋白的重链(VH)和轻链(VL)的可变区的融合蛋白。在一些方面,这些区域与10个至约25个氨基酸的短接头肽连接。接头可以富含甘氨酸以增加柔韧性,以及富含丝氨酸或苏氨酸以增加溶解性,并且可以连接VH的N端和VL的C端,反之亦然。尽管该蛋白质被除去了恒定区和引入了接头,但其保留了原始免疫球蛋白的特异性。ScFv分子通常是本领域中已知的,例如在美国专利5,892,019中有相关描述。
术语“单域抗体”或“sdAb”是指具有三个互补决定区(CDR)的单一抗原结合多肽。单独的sdAb能够与抗原结合,但不与相应的含CDR多肽配对。在一些情况下,sdAb从骆驼HCAb工程化,并且其重链可变结构域在本文中称为“VHH”。骆驼sdAb是最小的已知抗原结合抗体片段之一(参见,例如,Hamers-Casterman等人,Nature 363:446-8(1993);Greenberg等人,Nature 374:168-73(1995);Hassanzadeh-Ghassabeh等人,Nanomedicine(Lond),8:1013-26(2013))。
术语“重链抗体”或“HcAb”是指功能性抗体,其包含重链(VHH、CH2和CH3),但缺少通常存在于抗体中的轻链。已知骆驼科动物(例如骆驼、美洲驼或羊驼)产生HcAb。
在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体中第一结合部分为靶向spike蛋白的抗体,为完整抗体或抗原结合片段。在一些实施方案中,第一结合部分为IgG型抗体。在一些实施方案中,第一结合部分为IgG型抗体,且其重链的C-末端被截短。
在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体中第二结合部分为靶向spike蛋白的抗体,为完整抗体或抗原结合片段。在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体中第二结合部分为单域抗体。
术语“抗体”包括可以在生物化学上区分的各种广泛种类的多肽。本领域技术人员将会理解,重链的类别包括gamma、mu、alpha、delta或epsilon(γ、μ、α、δ、ε),其中还有一些亚类(例如γ1-γ4)。该链的性质决定了抗体的“种类”分别为IgG、IgM、IgA、IgG或IgE。免疫球蛋白亚类(同种型),例如IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgG5等已被充分表征并且赋予的功能特异性也已知。所有的免疫球蛋白种类都在本发明公开的保护范围内。在一些实施方案中,免疫球蛋白分子为IgG种类。IgG通常包含分子量约23,000道尔顿的两条相同的轻链多肽和分子量约为53,000-70,000的两条相同的重链多肽。这四条链通过二硫键以“Y”构型连接,其中轻链从“Y”口开始并延续通过可 变区包围重链。
本发明公开的抗体、抗原结合片段、或衍生物包括但不限于多克隆、单克隆、多特异性,全人源、人源化、灵长类化、嵌合抗体/单链抗体、表位结合片段例如Fab、Fab'和F(ab')2、Fd、Fvs、单链Fvs(scFv),二硫键连接的Fvs(sdFv),包含VK或VH结构域的片段,或由Fab表达文库产生的片段和抗独特型(抗Id)抗体。本发明公开的免疫球蛋白或抗体分子可以是免疫球蛋白的任何类型(例如IgG、IgE、IgM、IgD、IgA和IgY)或种类(例如,IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA1和IgA2)或者亚类。
轻链可以分为kappa(κ)或lambda(λ)。每个重链可以与κ或λ轻链结合。一般来说,当由杂交瘤,B细胞或基因工程宿主细胞生产免疫球蛋白时,其轻链和重链通过共价键结合,两条重链的“尾巴”部分通过共价二硫键或非共价键结合。在重链中,氨基酸序列从Y构型的叉状末端的N末端延伸至每条链底部的C末端。免疫球蛋白κ轻链可变区为Vκ;免疫球蛋白λ轻链可变区为Vλ
轻链和重链都分成结构和功能同源性的区域。术语“恒定的”和“可变的”根据功能被使用。轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)决定了抗原识别和特异性。轻链和重链的恒定区赋予重要的生物学性质,如分泌、经胎盘移动、Fc受体结合、补体结合等。按照惯例,恒定区的编号随着它们变得更远离抗体的抗原结合位点或氨基末端而增加。N端部分是可变区,C端部分是恒定区;CH3和CL结构域实际上分别包含重链和轻链的羧基端。
如上所述,可变区使得抗体能够选择性识别和特异性结合抗原上的表位。具体而言,抗体的VL结构域和VH结构域或互补决定区(CDR)的子集结合形成了限定三维抗原结合位点的可变区。该抗体四级结构形成存在于Y的每个臂末端的抗原结合位点。更具体地说,抗原结合位点由VH和VL链中各自的三个CDR(即HCDR1、HCDR2、HCDR3、LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3)定义。在某些情况下,例如某些来源于骆驼科动物的免疫球蛋白分子或基于骆驼科动物免疫球蛋白改造的免疫球蛋白分子,完整的免疫球蛋白分子可以仅由重链组成,没有轻链。例如参见Hamers-Casterman et al.,Nature,363:446-448(1993)。
在天然存在的抗体中,假设抗体在含水环境中呈现其三维构型时,存在于每个抗原结合域中的六个“互补决定区”或“CDR”是形成抗原结合结构域的短的、非连续的与抗原特异性结合的氨基酸序列。抗原结合结构域中被称为“构架”区域的剩余其它氨基酸显示出较小的分子间可变性。构架区大部分采用β-折叠构象,CDR形成与之连接的环状结构,或在某些情况下形成β折叠结构的一部分。因此,框架区通过形成支架从而通过链间非共价相互作用使CDR定位在正确的方位上。具有特定位置的CDR的抗原结合域形成了与抗原上的表位互补的表面,该互补表面促进抗体和其抗原表位的非共价结合。对于给定的重链或轻链可变区,本领域普通技术人员都可以通过已知方法鉴 定出包含CDR和框架区的氨基酸(参见Kabat,E.,et al.,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,(1983)和Chothia and Lesk,J.Mol.Biol.,196:901-917(1987))。
在本领域中使用和/或接受的术语有两个或多个定义的情况下,除非明确地对立指出,否则本文使用的术语的定义包括所有这些含义。一个具体的例子是使用“互补决定区”(“CDR”)一词来描述在重链和轻链多肽的可变区内发现的非连续的抗原结合位点。这一特定区域在Kabat et al.,U.S.Dept.of Health and Human Services,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest(1983)和Chothia等在J.Mol.Biol.196:901-917(1987)有相关描述,其通过引用全部并入本文。
根据Kabat和Chothia定义的CDR包括相互比较时的氨基酸残基的重叠或子集。尽管如此,应用任一定义来指代抗体或其变体的CDR都在本发明范围内。包含特定CDR的确切残基编号将根据CDR的序列和大小而变化。本领域技术人员通常可以根据抗体的可变区氨基酸序列确定出CDR包含哪些特定的残基。
Kabat等人还定义了适用于任何抗体的可变区序列的编号系统。本领域普通技术人员可以不依赖于序列本身以外的其他实验数据将该“Kabat编号”系统应用到任何可变区序列。“Kabat编号”是指由Kabat et al.,U.S.Dept.of Health and Human Services在“Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest”(1983)提出的编号系统。抗体还可以用EU编号系统。

抗体的重链恒定区可以来源于不同的免疫球蛋白分子。例如,多肽的重链恒定区可以包括源自IgG1分子的CH1结构域和源自IgG3分子的铰链区。在另一实施方案中,重链恒定区可以包括部分源自IgG1分子和部分源自IgG3分子的铰链区。在另一实施方 案中,部分重链可以包括部分源自IgG1分子和部分源自IgG4分子的嵌合铰链区。
“轻链恒定区”包括来自抗体轻链的氨基酸序列。较佳地,轻链恒定区包含恒定κ结构域或恒定λ结构域中的至少一个。“轻链-重链对”是指可通过轻链的CL结构域和重链的CH1结构域之间的二硫键形成二聚体的轻链和重链的集合。
如上所述,各种免疫球蛋白种类的恒定区的亚基结构和三维构型是众所周知的。“VH结构域”包括免疫球蛋白重链的氨基末端可变结构域,“CH1结构域”包括免疫球蛋白重链的第一个(大部分氨基末端)恒定区。CH1结构域与VH结构域相邻,并且是免疫球蛋白重链分子铰链区的氨基端。CH2结构域不与其它结构域紧密配对,而是在完整的天然IgG分子的两个CH2结构域之间插入两个N-连接的分支碳水化合物链。CH3结构域从CH2结构域开始延伸到IgG分子的C-末端,大约包含108个残基。“铰链区”包括连接CH1结构域和CH2结构域的部分重链区域。所述铰链区包含约25个残基并且是有韧性的,从而使得两个N端抗原结合区能够独立移动。铰链区可以被细分为三个不同的结构域:上、中和下铰链结构域(Rouxetal.,J.Immunol 161:4083(1998))。
“二硫键”指两个硫原子之间形成的共价键。半胱氨酸的硫醇基团可以与第二个硫醇基团形成二硫键或桥接。在大多数天然存在的IgG分子中,CH1和CL区通过二硫键连接,两条重链通过两个二硫键在Kabat编号系统中对应的位置239和242(EU编号系统位置226和229)处相连接。
“嵌合抗体”指其可变区从第一个物种中获得或衍生,而其恒定区(可以是完整的、部分的或修饰过的)来源于第二个物种的任何抗体。某些实施方案中,可变区来自非人源(例如小鼠或灵长类动物),而恒定区来自人源。
“特异性结合”或“对……具有特异性”通常是指抗体或抗原结合片段与特定抗原通过其抗原结合结构域与表位互补性结合形成相对稳定的复合物。“特异性”可以用抗体或抗原结合片段与特定抗原或表位结合的相对亲和力表达。例如,如果抗体“A”比抗体“B”与同一抗原的相对亲和力大,可以认为抗体“A”比抗体“B”对该抗原具有更高的特异性。特异性结合可以用平衡解离常数(KD)来描述,较小的KD意味着较紧密的结合。确定两个分子是否特异性结合的方法是本领域内众所周知的,并包括例如平衡透析、表面等离子共振、生物膜层光学干涉测量法等。“特异性结合”spike蛋白的抗体包括与spike蛋白平衡解离常数KD小于或等于约100nM、小于或等于约10nM、小于或等于约5nM、小于或等于约1nM。单特异抗体可特异性结合一个抗原或一个表位,而双特异抗体可特异性结合两个不同的抗原或两个不同的表位。
“治疗”是指治疗性治疗和预防性或防治性措施,其目的是预防、减缓、改善或停止不良的生理改变或紊乱,例如疾病的进程,包括但不限于以下无论是可检测还是不可检测的结果,症状的缓解、疾病程度的减小、疾病状态的稳定(即不恶化)、疾病进展的延迟或减缓、疾病状态的改善、缓和、减轻或消失(无论是部分还是全部)、延长与不接受治疗时预期的生存期限等。需要治疗的患者包括已经患有病症或紊乱的患者, 容易患有病症或紊乱的患者,或者需要预防该病症或紊乱的患者,可以或预期从施用本发明公开的抗体或药物组合物用于检测、诊断过程和/或治疗中受益的患者。
本文所用术语“给药”是指施用一种物质(例如,双特异抗体2F8-VH-VHH18)以实现治疗目的(例如,治疗COVID-19)。
如本文所用,术语“有需要”是指已将患者鉴定为需要特定方法或治疗。在一些实施例中,可以通过任何诊断方式进行识别。在本文描述的任何方法和治疗中,患者可能需要。
“有效量”是指活性化合物或药剂的量,其能引起组织、系统、动物、个体或人类的生物学或医学反应;有效量由研究人员、兽医、医生或其他临床医生寻求的。

双特异抗体、单域抗体和重链抗体
本发明提供了对spike蛋白具有高亲和力的抗体,包括双特异抗体、单域抗体和重链抗体。双特异抗体、单域抗体和重链抗体表现出有效的结合活性,并可用于治疗和诊断用途。比如,这些抗体可以阻止SARS-CoV-2病毒颗粒和细胞膜融合,以及介导免疫细胞吞噬、清除病毒颗粒。
一些实施方案提供了双特异抗体,双特异抗体中第一结合部分的重链的C-末端(即CH3末端)通过连接子L1与单域抗体进行共价连接。在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体包含2条序列相同的第一多肽和2条序列相同的第二多肽;所述第一多肽的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:77所示,所述第二多肽的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:74所示。
一些实施方案提供了双特异抗体,双特异抗体中第一结合部分的轻链的C-末端(即CL末端)通过连接子L1与单域抗体进行共价连接。在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体包含2条序列相同的第一多肽和2条序列相同的第二多肽;所述第一多肽的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:72所示,所述第二多肽的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:78所示。

在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体还可连接氨基酸序列或一个或多个修饰基团。例如,本发明公开的双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体可以包含有韧性的接头序列,或者可以被修饰以添加功能性基团(例如PEG、药物、毒素或标签)。
本发明公开的双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体还包含被修饰的衍生物,即通过任何类型的分子与抗体的共价连接进行修饰,其中共价连接不会阻止抗体与表位结合。包括但不限制以下实例,抗体可以被糖基化、乙酰化、聚乙二醇化、磷酸化、酰胺化、通过已知的保护/封闭基团衍生化、蛋白水解切割、连接至细胞配体或其他蛋白质等。众多化学修饰中的任一种修饰可以通过现有技术进行,包括但不限于特异性化学裂解、乙酰化、甲酰化、衣霉素的代谢合成等。
在一些实施方案中,双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体可以与治疗剂、药物前体、肽、蛋白质、酶、病毒、脂类、生物反应调节剂、药剂或PEG进行缀合。
双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体可以与治疗剂缀合或融合,所述治疗剂可包括可检测标记,如放射性标记、免疫调节剂、激素、酶、寡核苷酸、光敏治疗剂、诊断剂、细胞毒性剂、超声增强剂、非放射性标记物及其组合物,和本领域已知的其它此 类试剂。
双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体可通过将其偶联至化学发光化合物来被可检测地标记。然后通过检测在化学反应过程中出现的发光从而确定化学发光标记的抗体的存在。化学发光标记化合物的实例包括鲁米诺、异鲁米诺、芳香吖啶酯、咪唑、吖啶盐和草酸酯。
本发明还公开了编码本发明所述双特异抗体、单域抗体和重链抗体的多聚核苷酸或核酸分子。本发明公开的多聚核苷酸可以编码重链、轻链、重链可变区、轻链可变区、Fc区、部分重链可变区或部分轻链可变区、双特异、单域抗体或重链抗体。制备抗体的方法是本领域公知的并且在本发明中有所描述。在某些实施方案中,本发明公开的抗体的可变区和恒定区都是全人源的。全人源抗体和抗原结合片段可以使用本领域中公开的技术和本发明所述的技术制备。例如,针对特定抗原的全人源抗体可以通过将抗原施用于转基因动物中来制备,所述转基因动物已经被改良过以响应抗原攻击而产生全人源抗体。可用于制备这种抗体的示例性技术参见美国专利6,458,592;6,420,140,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
在某些实施方案中,制备的抗体不会在待治疗的动物(例如人类)中引起有害的免疫应答。在一实施方案中,本发明公开的抗体(包括双特异抗体、单域抗体或重链抗体)使用本领域公认的技术修饰以降低其免疫原性。例如,抗体可以被人源化、灵长类化、去免疫化或者可以制备嵌合抗体。这些类型的抗体来源于非人抗体,通常是鼠类或灵长类抗体,其保留或基本保留亲本抗体的抗原结合特性但在人体中免疫原性较低。其可以通过多种方法来实现,包括(a)将整个非人源的可变区移植到人源的恒定区以产生嵌合抗体;(b)将一个或多个非人类互补决定区(CDR)的至少一部分移植到人源的框架和恒定区中,保留或不保留关键的框架残基;或(c)移植整个非人源的可变区,但通过用类人源的部分置换表面残基从而“隐藏”它们。通常人框架区中的框架残基将被来自CDR供体抗体的相应残基取代,比如能够改善抗原结合的残基。这些框架替换可以通过本领域公知的方法鉴定,例如通过模拟CDR和框架残基的相互作用以鉴定对抗原结合起重要作用的框架残基和通过序列对比以鉴定特定位置上异常的框架残基。(参考美国专利5,585,089;其全部内容通过引用并入本文)。可以使用本领域公知的多种技术使抗体人源化,例如CDR移植(EP 239,400;WO 91/09967;美国专利5,225,539,5,530,101和5,585,089),修复或者表面重排(EP592,106;EP519,596;),以及链的重排(美国专利5,565,332),其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
去免疫化也可用于降低抗体的免疫原性。在本发明中,术语“去免疫化”包括改变抗体以修饰T细胞表位(参见例如WO/9852976A1和WO/0034317A2)。例如,分析来自起始抗体的重链可变区序列和轻链可变区序列,并产生来自每个可变区的人T细胞表位“图谱”,显示表位相对于互补决定区(CDRs)和序列内其它关键残基的位置。分析来自T细胞表位图的单个T细胞表位,以鉴定具有较低改变抗体活性风险的可选择 的氨基酸取代。设计包含氨基酸取代组合的一系列可选的重链可变区序列和轻链可变区序列,随后将这些序列掺入到一系列结合多肽中。然后将包含修饰过的可变区和人类恒定区的完整重链和轻链的基因克隆到表达载体中,随后将质粒转入细胞系以产生完整的抗体。然后利用合适的生物化学和生物学实验中比较抗体,鉴定出最佳的抗体。
本发明公开的抗体的结合特异性可以通过体外实验,例如免疫共沉淀、放射免疫实验(RIA)或酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)来检测。
scFv的制备可参见生产单链单元的技术(美国专利4,694,778)。通过氨基酸桥接Fv区的重链和轻链片段形成单链单元,产生单链融合肽。也可以使用在大肠杆菌中组装功能性Fv片段的技术(Skerra et al.,Science 242:1038-1041(1988))。
可用于生产单链Fv(scFv)和抗体的技术的实例包括如美国专利4,946,778和5,258,498中所述。对于包括在人体内使用抗体和体外检测实验的某些用途,可以使用嵌合抗体、人源化抗体或全人源抗体。嵌合抗体是抗体的不同部分源自不同动物物种的一类分子,例如具有鼠源单克隆抗体的可变区和人源免疫球蛋白恒定区的抗体。生产嵌合抗体的方法是本领域已知的,参见美国专利5,807,715、4,816,567和4,816,397,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
针对特定抗原或靶标的天然存在的VHH域可获自骆驼科VHH序列的(原生或免疫)文库。这样的文库和技术例如描述于WO 99/37681、WO 01/90190、WO 03/025020和WO 03/035694。或者,可使用来源于(原生或免疫)VHH文库的改进合成或半合成文库,例如通过例如随机诱变和/或CDR改组的技术获自(原生或免疫)VHH文库的VHH文库,例如WO 00/43507中所述。
此外,在Newman,Biotechnology 10:1455-1460(1992)中公开了另一种生产重组抗体的高效方法,特别地,该技术能产生含有猴可变区和人恒定区序列的灵长类抗体,该参考文献的全部内容通过引用并入本文。此外,该技术也在共同转让的美国专利5,658,570、5,693,780和5,756,096中有所提及,每个专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。
抗体可以通过本领域已知的多种方法制备,包括使用来自免疫球蛋白序列的抗体文库进行的噬菌体展示方法。也可参考美国专利4,444,887和4,716,111,以及PCT公布文本WO 98/46645、WO 98/50433、WO 98/24893、WO 98/16654、WO 96/34096、WO 96/33735和WO 91/10741,每个专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。
在另一实施方案中,使用常规方法(例如使用能够特异性结合编码鼠抗体重链和轻链的基因的寡核苷酸探针),可以分离编码所需单克隆抗体的DNA并对其进行测序。分离的和亚克隆的杂交瘤细胞可以作为此类DNA的来源。一旦分离出来,DNA可以被置于表达载体中,然后被转染到原核或真核宿主细胞如大肠杆菌细胞、猿猴COS细胞、中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞或不产生其他免疫球蛋白的骨髓瘤细胞中。分离的DNA(如本文所述可以是合成的)也可用于制备抗体的恒定区和可变区的序列,如美国专 利5,658,570中所述,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。该方法从所选细胞中提取RNA并转化成cDNA,然后使用Ig特异性引物通过PCR技术进行扩增。适于此目的的合适的探针在美国专利5,658,570中也有所提及。
此外,使用常规重组DNA技术,可将本发明的抗体的一个或多个CDR插入框架区,例如插入到人类框架区以构建人源化非全人源抗体。框架区可以是天然存在的或共有的框架区,优选人类框架区(参见Chothia et al.,J.Mol.Biol.278:457-479(1998),其列出一系列人类框架区)。一些多核苷酸可以编码框架区和CDR组合产生的与目标抗原的至少一个表位特异性结合的抗体。在框架区内可以进行一个或多个氨基酸取代,可以选择能够改善抗体与其抗原结合的氨基酸取代。另外,可用此法进行参与链间二硫键形成的一个或多个可变区中半胱氨酸残基的取代或缺失,从而产生缺少一个或多个链间二硫键的抗体分子。本领域技术范围内的对多核苷酸进行的其他改变也涵盖于本发明中。
在一些实施方案中,可以按常规方法根据本文所述抗体的氨基酸序列设计合成编码抗体的DNA,将其置入表达载体中,然后转染宿主细胞,在培养基中培养被转染的宿主细胞产生抗体。在一些实施方案中,表达载体包括至少一个启动子元件,抗体、抗原结合片段或融合蛋白编码序列,转录终止信号和polyA尾。其他元件包括增强子,Kozak序列及插入序列两侧RNA剪接的供体和受体位点。可以通过SV40的前期和后期启动子,来自逆转录病毒的长末端重复序列如RSV、HTLV1、HIVI及巨细胞病毒(CMV)的早期启动子来获得高效的转录,也可应用其它一些细胞的启动子如肌动蛋白启动子。合适的表达载体可包括pIRES1neo,pRetro-Off,pRetro-On,PLXSN,或者pLNCX,pcDNA3.1(+/-),pcDNA/Zeo(+/-),pcDNA3.1/Hygro(+/-),PSVL,PMSG,pRSVcat,pSV2dhfr,pBC12MI,pCS2或pCHO1.0等。常使用的哺乳动物细胞包括中国仓鼠卵巢细胞(CHO细胞)(例如CHO-K1细胞)或从CHO细胞修饰的CHO-S、CHO-dhfr-、CHO/DG44或ExpiCHO、NSO骨髓瘤细胞、COS细胞、Cos1细胞、Cos7细胞、SP2细胞、CV1细胞、鼠L细胞、人胚肾细胞HEK293或从HEK293细胞修饰的HEK293T、HEK293F或HEK293E细胞等。
在一些实施方案中,插入基因片段需含有筛选标记,常见的筛选标记包括二氢叶酸还原酶,谷氨酰胺合成酶,新霉素抗性,潮霉素抗性等筛选基因,以便于转染成功的细胞的筛选分离。将构建好的质粒转染到无上述基因的宿主细胞,经过选择性培养基培养,转染成功的细胞大量生长,产生想要获得的目的蛋白。
通过使用本领域技术人员公知的技术可以选择、构建和培养生产抗体的细胞系。这些技术在各种实验室手册和主要出版物中均有描述,例如Recombinant DNA Technology for Production of Protein Therapeutics in Cultured Mammalian Cells,D.L.Hacker,F.M.Wurm,in Reference Module in Life Sciences,2017,其全部内容包括补充内容通过引用并入全文。
对于本发明的抗体的重组表达,可以用两种重组表达载体共转染宿主细胞,第一重组表达载体编码抗体重链,第二重组表达载体编码抗体轻链。两个重组表达载体可以含有相同的筛选标记,或者它们可以各自含有不同的筛选标记。可替代地,可以使用共编码抗体重链和轻链的重组表达载体转染宿主细胞。
本发明的抗体还可以通过化学合成(例如,通过Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis,第2版,1984 The Pierce Chemical Co.,Rockford,Ill.中描述的方法)来生产。还可以使用无细胞平台(参见例如,Chu等人,Biochemia No.2,2001(Roche Molecular Biologicals)以及Murray等人,2013,Current Opinion in Chemical Biology,17:420–426)生成变体抗体。
通过重组表达产生的抗体,可以通过本领域已知的用于纯化免疫球蛋白分子的任何方法将它纯化,例如通过层析(例如,离子交换、亲和层析和分级柱层析)、离心、差异溶解度、或纯化蛋白质的任何其它标准技术。例如利用蛋白A或蛋白G进行亲和层析。另外,可将免疫球蛋白所靶向的特异抗原或其表位固定于柱上,以通过免疫亲和色谱来纯化免疫特异性抗体。本发明的抗体可以与本领域已知的异源多肽序列融合,以促进纯化。免疫球蛋白的纯化可参考D.Wilkinson的文章(The Scientist,由The Scientist,Inc.,Philadelphia Pa.出版,第14卷,第8期(2000年4月17日),第25-28页)。
此外,可以使用本领域技术人员已知的标准技术在编码本发明所述抗体的核苷酸序列中引入突变,包括但不限于导致氨基酸取代的定点突变和PCR介导的突变。变体(包括衍生物)编码相对于原重链可变区HCDR1、HCDR2、HCDR3和轻链可变区LCDR1、LCDR2或LCDR3来说少于50个氨基酸的取代、少于40个氨基酸的取代、少于30个氨基酸的取代、少于25个氨基酸的取代、少于20个氨基酸的取代、少于15个氨基酸的取代、少于10个氨基酸的取代、少于5个氨基酸的取代、少于4个氨基酸的取代、少于3个氨基酸的取代或少于2个氨基酸的取代。或者可以沿着全部或部分编码序列时随机引入突变,例如通过饱和突变,以及可以筛选所得突变体的生物活性以鉴定保留活性的突变体。在一些实施方案中,取代可以为保守氨基酸取代。

实施例6双特异抗体和重链抗体抑制假病毒侵染ACE2+293细胞
1)本实验是从体外评估抗体抑制spike-pseudotyped假病毒(吉满生物)侵染表达ACE2细胞(即ACE2+293细胞)的能力。采用ACE2+293细胞检测抗体抑制带有荧光素酶基因的SARS-CoV-2假病毒侵染细胞的能力。其主要原理是:采用ACE2+293F细胞作为易感染细胞,将不同浓度的抗体与SARS-CoV-2-Fluc假病毒系统孵育;当抗体与假病毒孵育结合后,将阻断病毒侵染进入ACE2+293细胞;假病毒无法有效侵染细胞,其基因组上的luciferase报告基因便无法在细胞内表达且产生荧光信号;由于荧光信号的信号值与加入的抗体浓度成负相关,从而可以检测抗体的体外抑制病毒侵染的能力。其中,野生型假病毒株WT的货号为GM-0220PV07(吉满生物),突变株1(E484K)的货号为GM-0220PV35(吉满生物),突变株2(W436R)的货号为GM-0220PV26(吉满生物),突变株3(B.1.1.7/VUI-202012/01 del 145Y)的GM-0220PV33(吉满生物),突变株4(B.1.1.7/VUI-202012/01 del 144Y/145Y)的货号为GM-0220PV34(吉满生物),突变株5(B.1.351/501Y.V2,Beta)的货号为GM-0220PV32-96T(吉满生物),突变株6(D614G)的货号为GM-0220PV14(吉满生物),突变株7(D614G,D936Y)(GM-0220PV19,吉满生物),突变株8(D839Y)(GM-0220PV6,吉满生物),突变株9(V483A)(GM-0220PV17,吉满生物),突变株10(D614G,A831V)(GM-0220PV24,吉满生物),突变株11(W436R)(GM-0220PV26,吉满生物),突变株12(E484K+K417N+N501Y)(GM-0220PV31,吉满生物),突变株13 SARS-COV-2Spike(B.1.1.529,Omicron)(GM-0220PV84,吉满生物),突变株14(K417N)(GM-0220PV30,吉满生物),突变株15(N501Y,D614G)(GM-0220PV29,吉满生物),突变株16(N354D,D364Y)(GM-0220PV13,吉满生物)。
假病毒抑制能力检测方法为:抗体稀释至4μg/ml,后4倍梯度稀释,按照每孔50μl体积转移至96孔检测板中,待用;将不同突变株的假病毒原液分别用含有10%FBS的DMEM培养基进行稀释,将稀释后的假病毒溶液按照25μl每孔转移至上述含有抗体的96孔板中,混匀后室温静置1h;将ACE2+293细胞用0.25%Trypsin-EDTA(Gibco,25200-072)消化后计数,将细胞密度调至4×105cells/ml,按照每孔50μl体积将细胞 加入到上述96孔检测板中,37℃培养箱培养48h;每孔加入50μl Bio-Lite luciferase assay system(诺维赞,DD1201-03)检测试剂,静置3分钟后进行读数,并根据读数计算抑制率:抑制率=[1-(样品组-空白对照组)/(阴性对照组-空白对照组)]×100%;其中,阴性对照组添加假病毒溶液且不添加抗体,空白对照组不添加假病毒溶液。
ACE2+293细胞的构建方法为:将HEK293细胞(ACS-4500TM,ATCC)用含10%FBS的DMEM完全培养基培养,采用lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent(Thermo Fisher,11668019)进行ACE2表达质粒(义翘神州,HG10108-M)的转染,之后通过潮霉素(200μg/ml)的加压筛选和流式分选(采用10μg/ml anti-ACE2和PE偶联的Anti-Human IgG-Fc),细胞继续扩增挑选出PE阳性率>90%的单克隆进行下一步扩增,筛选出表达ACE2的HEK293细胞,即ACE2+293细胞。
结果显示,抗体VHH18-Fc对突变株2的IC50为327.4ng/ml;如表15所示,2F8-VH-VHH18和2F8-VL-VHH18可有效地抑制假病毒侵染细胞。
