Definitions

  • the present disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to an antigen-binding molecule specifically binding to BAFF and IL-12/23 and its application.
  • BAFF B cell activating factor
  • BAFF is a cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family. BAFF is mainly expressed on the surface of the bone marrow cell membrane and exists in the form of trimers. The BAFF on the surface of the cell membrane will be hydrolyzed by protease to form soluble BAFF and enter the blood circulation system. The soluble BAFF has the characteristics of multimerization and can form up to 60-mer . In addition, BAFF can also interact with another protein of the same family, APRIL, to form a heterologous trimer. It is currently known that there are three BAFF receptors on the surface of B cells, namely BAFF-R, BCMA and TACI.
  • BAFF interacts with these three receptors and participates in the differentiation, maturation, survival and regulation of B cells.
  • APRIL and BAFF have two common receptors, namely BCMA and TACI, and APRIL interacts with these two receptors to participate in the survival and regulation of B cells (Samy, E., et al., Int Rev Immunol, 2017.36: p. 3-19; Kamal, A. and M. Khamashta, Autoimmun Rev, 2014.13: p.1094-1101).
  • BAFF is important for maintaining B cell homeostasis, and overactivation of BAFF signaling leads to the survival of self-reactive B cells and the production of autoantibodies that promote autoimmune responses (Cancro, M.P., D.P.D'Cruz, and M.A. Khamashta, J Clin Invest, 2009.119: p.1066-73).
  • IL-12 and IL-23 are two cytokines belonging to the same family. Both IL-12 and IL-23 are heterodimeric proteins composed of two subunits (Moschen, A.R., H. Tilg, and T. Raine, Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2019.16: p.185-196; Frieder , J., et al., Clin Pharmacol Ther, 2018.103: p.88-101). IL-12 is composed of two subunits, p35 and p40, while IL-23 is composed of two subunits, p19 and p40.
  • p40 is a subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23 (IL-12/23 P40), so antibodies targeting p40 can simultaneously inhibit both IL-12 and IL-23 signaling pathways.
  • the interaction between IL-12 and receptors mainly activates the differentiation of Th1 cells, and at the same time participates in stimulating the secretion of interferon- ⁇ and TNF by various immune cells.
  • IL-23 and receptors mainly activates the differentiation of Th17 cells, and stimulates a variety of cells to secrete cytokines such as IL-17, IL-22 and TNF (Lee, E.B., et al., Cutis, 2018.101: p.5-9 ; Floss, D.M., et al., Cytokine Growth Factor Rev, 2015.26: p.569-578).
  • cytokines produced by the activation of IL-12/23 signaling pathway further participate in the development of diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus through their own pathways.
  • the present disclosure constructs an antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds BAFF, and constructs an antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds BAFF and IL-12 and/or IL-23.
  • the present disclosure provides an antigen-binding molecule comprising an antigen-binding module 1 that specifically binds BAFF and an antigen-binding module 2 that specifically binds IL-12 and/or IL-23, wherein the antigen-binding module 1 Comprising heavy chain variable region B-VH and light chain variable region B-VL, said B-VH comprises B-HCDR1, B-HCDR2 and B-HCDR3, said B-VL comprises B-LCDR1, B-LCDR2 and B-LCDR3, wherein: said B-HCDR1, B-HCDR2 and B-HCDR3 respectively comprise the amino acid sequences of Bv-HCDR1, Bv-HCDR2 and Bv-HCDR3 in SEQ ID NO: 63, and said B-LCDR1 , B-LCDR2 and B-LCDR3 respectively comprise the amino acid sequences of Bv-LCDR1, Bv-LCDR2 and Bv-LCDR3 in SEQ ID NO: 64, wherein, SEQ ID NO: 63 is

Abstract

一种特异性结合BAFF和IL-12/23的抗原结合分子及用途。

Description

特异性结合BAFF和IL-12/23的抗原结合分子及用途
本申请要求2021年6月30日提交的中国专利申请(申请号202110735262.2)的优先权。
技术领域
本披露属于生物技术领域,更具体地,本披露涉及一种特异性结合BAFF和IL-12/23的抗原结合分子及其应用。
背景技术
这里的陈述仅是提供与本披露有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
BAFF(B细胞激活因子)是属于TNF家族的一种细胞激活因子。BAFF主要在骨髓细胞膜表面表达,以三聚体的形式存在,在细胞膜表面的BAFF会被蛋白酶水解形成可溶性的BAFF进入血液循环系统,可溶性的BAFF具有多聚化的特征,最多可以形成60聚体。另外BAFF也可以跟同家族的另外一个蛋白APRIL作用形成异源的三聚体。目前已知在B细胞表面有三个BAFF的受体,分别为BAFF-R、BCMA和TACI。BAFF与这三个受体作用,参与B细胞的分化成熟、存活和调节。APRIL与BAFF有两个共同的受体,分别为BCMA和TACI,APRIL与这两个受体作用参与B细胞的存活和调节(Samy,E.,et al.,Int Rev Immunol,2017.36:p.3-19;Kamal,A.and M.Khamashta,Autoimmun Rev,2014.13:p.1094-1101)。BAFF对维持B细胞的体内平衡非常重要,BAFF信号通路的过度激活会导致自反应B细胞的存活,并产生自身抗体促进自身免疫反应(Cancro,M.P.,D.P.D'Cruz,and M.A.Khamashta,J Clin Invest,2009.119:p.1066-73)。
IL-12和IL-23是属于同一个家族的两种细胞因子。IL-12和IL-23都是由两个亚基组成的异源二聚体蛋白(Moschen,A.R.,H.Tilg,and T.Raine,Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol,2019.16:p.185-196;Frieder,J.,et al.,Clin Pharmacol Ther,2018.103:p.88-101)。IL-12是由p35和p40两个亚基组成,而IL-23是由p19和p40两个亚基组成。其中p40是IL-12和IL-23共有的一个亚基(IL-12/23 P40),因此靶向p40的抗体能同时抑制IL-12和IL-23两条信号通路。IL-12与受体作用主要激活Th1细胞的分化,同时参与刺激多种免疫细胞分泌干扰素γ和TNF。IL-23与受体作用主要激活Th17细胞的分化,并刺激多种细胞分泌IL-17、IL-22和TNF等细胞因子(Lee,E.B.,et al.,Cutis,2018.101:p.5-9;Floss,D.M.,et al.,Cytokine Growth Factor Rev,2015.26:p.569-578)。IL-12/23信号通路激活所产生的这些细胞因子进一步通过各自的途径参与系统性红斑狼疮等疾病的发展。

具体实施方式
术语
为了更容易理解本披露,以下对某些技术和科学术语进行了描述。除非在本文中另有明确定义,本文使用的全部技术和科学术语具有与本领域的普通技术人员通常所理解的相同含义。
说明书和权利要求书中所用的单数形式“一个”、“一种”和“所述”包括复数指代,除非上下文清楚表明并非如此。
除非上下文另外清楚要求,否则在专利说明书和权利要求书中,应将词语“包含”、“具有”、“包括”等理解为“包括但不仅限于”的意义,而不是排他性或穷举性意义。
术语“细胞因子”是由一个细胞群体释放的、作为细胞间介质作用于其它细胞的蛋白质/多肽的一般术语。这样的细胞因子的例子包括淋巴因子、单核因子、趋化因子和传统的多肽激素。示例性的细胞因子包括:IL-2、IFN-γ、IL-6、TNFα、IL-17和IL-5。
术语“和/或”,意指包含“和”与“或”两种含义。例如短语“A、B和/或C”旨在涵盖以下方面中的每一个:A、B和C;A、B或C;A或C;A或B;B或C;A和C;A和B;B和C;A(单独);B(单独);和C(单独)。本披露中,除非特别说明,“IL-12和/或IL-23”或“IL-12/23”均意指涵盖:“IL-12”、“IL-23”和“IL-12和IL-23”中的每一个。
本披露所用氨基酸三字母代码和单字母代码如J.biol.chem,243,p3558(1968)中所述。
术语“氨基酸”是指天然存在的和合成的氨基酸,以及以与天然存在的氨基酸类似的方式起作用的氨基酸类似物和氨基酸模拟物。天然存在的氨基酸是由遗传密码编码的那些氨基酸,以及后来修饰的那些氨基酸,例如羟脯氨酸、γ-羧基谷氨酸和O-磷酸丝氨酸。氨基酸类似物是指与天然存在的氨基酸具有相同基本化学结构(即与氢、羧基、氨基和R基团结合的α碳)的化合物,例如高丝氨酸、正亮氨酸、甲硫氨酸亚砜、甲硫氨酸甲基锍。此类类似物具有修饰的R基团(例如,正亮氨酸)或修饰的肽骨架,但保留与天然存在的氨基酸相同的基本化学结构。氨基酸模拟物是指具有与氨基酸的一般化学结构不同的结构,但是以与天然存在的氨基酸类似的方式起作用的化学化合物。
术语“氨基酸突变”包括氨基酸取代(也称氨基酸替换)、缺失、插入和修饰。可以进行取代、缺失、插入和修饰的任意组合来实现最终构建体,只要最终构建体拥有期望的特性,例如降低或对Fc受体的结合。氨基酸序列缺失和插入包括在 多肽链的氨基端和/或羧基端的缺失和插入。具体的氨基酸突变可以是氨基酸取代。在一个实施方式中,氨基酸突变是非保守性的氨基酸取代,即将一个氨基酸用具有不同结构和/或化学特性的另一种氨基酸替换。氨基酸取代包括由非天然存在的氨基酸或由20种天然氨基酸的衍生物(例如4-羟脯氨酸、3-甲基组氨酸、鸟氨酸、高丝氨酸、5-羟赖氨酸)替换。可以使用本领域中公知的遗传或化学方法生成氨基酸突变。遗传方法可以包括定点诱变、PCR,基因合成等。基因工程以外的改变氨基酸侧链基团的方法,如化学修饰也可能是可用的。本文中可使用各种名称来指示同一氨基酸突变。本文中,可采用位置+氨基酸残基的方式表示特定位点的氨基酸残基,例如366W,表示在366位点上的氨基酸残基为W。T366W则表示第366位点上的氨基酸残基由原来的T突变为了W。
术语“抗原结合分子”以最广义使用,涵盖各种特异性结合抗原的分子,包括但不限于抗体、其他具有抗原结合活性的多肽以及两者融合而成的抗体融合蛋白。示例性的,本文中的抗原结合分子是双特异性抗原结合分子(例如:双特异性抗体)。术语“双特异性抗原结合分子”指能够对两个不同抗原或同一抗原的至少两个不同抗原表位特异性结合的抗原结合分子。
术语“抗体”以最广义使用,并且涵盖各种抗体结构,包括但不限于单克隆抗体,多克隆抗体;单特异性抗体,多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体);全长抗体和抗体片段(或抗原结合片段,或抗原结合部分),只要它们展现出期望的抗原结合活性。“天然抗体”指天然存在的免疫球蛋白分子。例如,天然IgG抗体是约150,000道尔顿的异四聚蛋白,由二硫键结合的两条轻链和两条重链构成。从N至C端,每条重链具有一个可变区(VH),又称作可变重域、重链可变区,接着是重链恒定区(CH),天然IgG重链恒定区通常含三个恒定域(CH1、CH2和CH3)。类似地,从N至C端,每条轻链具有一个可变区(VL,又称作可变轻域,或轻链可变域),接着是一个恒定轻域(轻链恒定区、CL)。术语“全长抗体”、“完整抗体”和“全抗体”在本文可互换使用,指具有与天然抗体结构基本类似的结构或具有如本文所限定的Fc区的重链的抗体。天然完整抗体轻链包括轻链可变区VL及恒定区CL,VL处于轻链的氨基末端,轻链恒定区包括κ链及λ链;重链包括可变区VH及恒定区(CH1、CH2及CH3),VH处于重链的氨基末端(也称N端),恒定区处于羧基末端(也称C端),其中CH3最接近多肽的羧基末端,重链可属于任何同种型,包括IgG(包括IgG1、IgG2、IgG3及IgG4亚型)、IgA(包括IgA1及IgA2亚型)、IgM及IgE。
术语“双特异性抗体”指能够对两个不同抗原或同一抗原的两个不同抗原表位特异性结合的抗体(包括抗体或其抗原结合片段,如单链抗体)。现有技术已公开了各种结构的双特异性抗体。根据IgG分子的完整性可分为IgG样双特异性抗体和抗体片段型双特异性抗体。根据抗原结合区域的数量可分为二价、三价、四价或更多价的双特异性抗体。根据结构是否对称可分为对称结构双特异性抗体和 不对称结构双特异性抗体。其中,片段型双特异性抗体,例如缺乏Fc片段的Fab片段,其通过将2个或多个Fab片段结合在一个分子中形成双特异性抗体,其具有较低的免疫原性,且分子量小,具有较高的肿瘤组织渗透性,该类型的典型的抗体结构如F(ab) 2、scFv-Fab、(scFv) 2-Fab等。IgG样双特异性抗体(例如具有Fc片段),这类抗体相对分子量较大,Fc片段有助于抗体的纯化,并提高其溶解性、稳定性,Fc部分还可能会与受体FcRn结合,增加抗体血清半衰期。典型的双特异性抗体结构模型如KiH、CrossMAb、Triomab quadroma、FcΔAdp、ART-Ig、BiMAb、Biclonics、BEAT、DuoBody、Azymetric、XmAb、2:1 TCBs、1Fab-IgG TDB、FynomAb、two-in-one/DAF、scFv-Fab-IgG、DART-Fc、LP-DART、CODV-Fab-TL、HLE-BiTE、F(ab)2-CrossMAb、IgG-(scFv)2、Bs4Ab、DVD-Ig、Tetravalent-DART-Fc、(scFv)4-Fc、CODV-Ig、mAb2、F(ab)4-CrossMAb等双特异性抗体(参见Aran F.Labrijn等,Nature Reviews Drug Discovery volume 18,pages585–608(2019);Chen S1等,J Immunol Res.2019 Feb 11;2019:4516041)。
术语“可变区”或“可变域”指抗原结合分子(例如抗体)中结合抗原的域。本文中,重链可变区VH和轻链可变区VL各包含四个保守的框架区(FR)和三个互补决定区(CDR)。本文中,特异性结合BAFF的抗原结合模块中的重链可变区标示为B-VH,轻链可变区标示为B-VL;特异性结合IL-12/23 p40的抗原结合模块中的重链可变区标示为P-VH,轻链可变区标示为P-VL。术语“互补决定区”或“CDR”指可变结构域内主要促成与抗原结合的区域;“框架”或“FR”是指除CDR残基之外的可变结构域残基。VH包含3个CDR区:HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3;VL包含3个CDR区:LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3。每个VH和VL由从氨基末端(也称N末端)排到羧基末端(也称C末端)按以下顺序排列的三个CDR和四个FR构成:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4。每个VH和VL由从氨基末端排到羧基末端按以下顺序排列的三个CDR和四个FR构成:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4。单个VH或VL可能足以赋予抗原结合特异性。本披露中,B-VH中的3个CDR区分别标示为B-HCDR1、B-HCDR2和B-HCDR3,或者Bv-HCDR1、Bv-HCDR2和Bv-HCDR3;B-VL中的3个CDR区分别标示为B-LCDR1、B-LCDR2和B-LCDR3,或者Bv-LCDR1、Bv-LCDR2和Bv-LCDR3。另外,P-VH中的3个CDR区分别标示为P-HCDR1、P-HCDR2和P-HCDR3,或者Pv-HCDR1、Pv-HCDR2和Pv-HCDR3;P-VL中的3个CDR区分别标示为P-LCDR1、P-LCDR2和P-LCDR3,或者Pv-LCDR1、Pv-LCDR2和Pv-LCDR3。
可以通过各种公知方案来确定CDR的氨基酸序列边界,例如:“Kabat”编号规则(参见Kabat等(1991),“Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest”,第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD)、“Chothia”编号规则、“ABM”编号规则、“contact”编号规则(参见Martin,ACR.Protein Sequence  and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains[J].2001)和ImMunoGenTics(IMGT)编号规则(Lefranc,M.P.等,Dev.Comp.Immunol.,27,55-77(2003);Front Immunol.2018 Oct 16;9:2278)等;各种编号系统之间的对应关系是本领域技术人员熟知的,示例性的,如下表1中所示。
表1.CDR编号系统之间的关系

LCDR3 105-117 89-97 89-97 89-97 89-96
除非另有说明,本披露中的可变区和CDR序列均适用“Kabat”编号规则。尽管在具体的实施方案中,采用了Kabat编号规则来限定氨基酸残基,但是其他编号系统所的对应技术方案将视为等同技术方案。
术语“抗体片段”指不同于完整抗体的分子,其包含完整抗体的部分,所述部分保留了完整抗体的抗原结合能力。抗体片段的实例包括但不限于Fv、Fab、Fab’、Fab’-SH、F(ab′) 2、单域抗体、单链Fab(scFab)、双抗体、线性抗体、单链抗体(scFv),以及由抗体片段形成的多特异性抗体。
术语“Fc区”或“片段可结晶区”用于定义抗体重链的C末端区域,包括天然Fc区和改造的Fc区。在一些实施方式中,Fc区包含了相同或不同的两个亚基。在一些实施方式中,人IgG重链的Fc区定义为从Cys226位置处的氨基酸残基或从Pro230延伸至其羧基末端。用于本文所述抗体的合适Fc区包括人IgG1、IgG2(IgG2A、IgG2B)、IgG3和IgG4的Fc区。在一些实施方式中,Fc区的边界还可以变化,例如缺失Fc区的C末端赖氨酸(根据EU编号系统的残基447)或缺失Fc区的C末端甘氨酸和赖氨酸(根据EU编号系统的残基446和447)。除非另有说明,Fc区的编号规则为EU编号系统,又称作EU索引。
术语“嵌合”抗体指抗体中的重和/或轻链的一部分来自特定的来源或物种,而重和/或轻链的剩余部分来自另外的不同来源或物种的抗体。
术语“人源化”抗体是保留非人抗体的反应性同时在人中具有较低免疫原性的抗体。例如,可以通过保留非人CDR区,并用其人对应物(即,恒定区以及可变区的框架区部分)替换抗体的其余部分来实现人源化。
术语“人抗体”、“人源抗体”、“全人抗体”、“完全人抗体”可以互换使用,意指可变区及恒定区是人序列的抗体。该术语涵盖源自人基因但具有,例如,降低可能的免疫原性、增加亲和力、消除可能会引起不期望的折叠的半胱氨酸或糖基化位点等序列已发生改变的抗体。该术语涵盖这些在非人细胞(其可能会赋予不具人细胞特征的糖基化)中重组产生的抗体。该术语亦涵盖已在含有一些或所有人 免疫球蛋白重链及轻链基因座的转基因小鼠中饲养的抗体。人抗体的含义明确排除包含非人抗原结合残基的人源化抗体。
术语“亲和力”是指分子(例如,本公开的抗原结合分子)的单个结合部位与其结合配体(例如,抗原)之间非共价相互作用的总体的强度。除非另外指明,如本文所用,结合“亲和力”是指内部结合亲和力,其反映出结合对(例如,抗体与抗原)的成员之间1:1相互作用。分子X对其配体Y的亲和力通常可以由解离常数(KD)表示。亲和力可以通过本领域已知的常规方法(包括本文所述的那些方法)测量。
如本文所使用的,术语“kassoc”或“ka”指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的缔合速率,术语“kdis”或“kd”指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的解离速率。术语“KD”指解离常数,其获得自kd与ka的比率(即kd/ka)并且表示为摩尔浓度(M)。可以使用本领域公知的方法测定抗体的KD值。例如,使用生物传感系统例如系统测量表面等离子体共振,或通过溶液平衡滴定法(SET)测量溶液中的亲和力。在一些实施方式中,KD值通过Biacore检测。
术语“效应子功能”指那些可归于抗体Fc区(天然序列Fc区或氨基酸序列突变的Fc区)且随抗体同种型而变化的生物学活性。抗体效应子功能的例子包括但不限于:C1q结合和补体依赖性细胞毒性、Fc受体结合、抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性(ADCC)、吞噬作用、细胞表面受体(例如B细胞受体)下调;和B细胞活化。
术语“单克隆抗体”指基本上均质的抗体的群或其成员,即在该群中包含的抗体分子的氨基酸序列是相同的,除了可能少量存在的天然突变以外。相比之下,多克隆抗体制剂通常包含在其可变结构域具有不同氨基酸序列的多种不同抗体,其通常特异性针对不同表位。“单克隆”表示从基本上均质的抗体群体获得的抗体的特征,并且不应解释为要求通过任何特定方法来生产抗体。在一些实施方式中,本披露提供的抗体是单克隆抗体。
术语“抗原”是指能够由抗原结合分子(例如抗体)选择性结合的分子或分子部分。抗原可具有一个或多个能够与不同的抗原结合分子(例如抗体)相互作用的表位。
术语“表位”指能够与抗体或其抗原结合片段特异性结合的抗原上的区域(area或region)。表位可以由连续氨基酸(线性表位)形成或包含非连续氨基酸(构象表位),例如因抗原的折叠(即通过抗原的三级折叠)而使得非连续的氨基酸在空间上得以接近。构象表位和线性表位的差别在于:在变性溶剂的存在下,抗体对构象表位的结合丧失。表位包含处于独特空间构象的至少3,至少4,至少5,至少6,至少7,或8-10个氨基酸。可以使用本领域例行方法来筛选结合特定表位的抗体(即那些结合相同表位的),例如但不限于丙氨酸扫描,肽印迹,肽切割分析,表位切除,表位提取,抗原的化学修饰(见Prot.Sci.9(2000)487-496), 和交叉阻断。
术语“能够特异性结合”、“特异性结合”或“结合”是指相比其他抗原或表位,抗原结合分子(例如抗体)能够以更高的亲和力结合至某个抗原或其表位。通常地,抗体以约1×10 -7M或更小(例如约1×10 -8M或更小)的平衡解离常数(KD)结合抗原或其表位。在一些实施方式中,抗体与抗原结合的KD为该抗体结合至非特异性抗原(例如BSA、酪蛋白)的KD的10%或更低(例如1%)。可使用已知的方法来测量KD,例如通过
Figure PCTCN2022102621-appb-000001
表面等离子体共振测定法所测量的。然而,特异性结合至抗原或其表位的抗体不排除对其它相关的抗原具有交叉反应性,例如,对来自其它物种(同源)(诸如人或猴,例如食蟹猕猴(Macaca fascicularis)(cynomolgus,cyno)、黑猩猩(Pan troglodytes)(chimpanzee,chimp))或狨猴(Callithrix jacchus)(commonmarmoset,marmoset)的相应抗原具有交叉反应性。

非保守取代是指,用一个类别的成员替换另一个类别的成员。
一类取代变体涉及取代亲本抗体(例如人源化或人抗体)的一个或多个CDR残基。一般地,经选择用于进一步研究的所得变体相对于亲本抗体会具有某些生物学特性(例如升高的亲和力,降低的免疫原性)的改变(例如改善),和/或会基本上保留亲本抗体的某些生物学特性。一种示例性的取代变体是亲和力成熟的抗体,可以例如使用基于噬菌体展示的亲和力成熟技术(如本文所述的那些技术),便利地产生所述抗体。简言之,将一个或多个CDR残基突变,并将变体抗体在噬菌体上展示,并对其筛选特定的生物学活性(例如结合亲和力)。可以对CDR做 出改变(例如取代),例如以改善抗体亲和力。可以对CDR“热点”(即在体细胞成熟过程期间以高频率经历突变的密码子所编码的残基,和/或接触抗原的残基)做出此类改变,同时对所得的变体VH或VL测试结合亲和力。在亲和力成熟的一些实施方案中,通过多种方法(例如易错PCR、链改组、或寡核苷酸指导的诱变)的任一种,将多样性引入所选择用于成熟的可变基因中。然后,创建次级文库。然后,筛选文库以鉴定具有期望的亲和力的任何抗体变体。另一种引入多样性的方法涉及CDR定向的方法,其中将几个CDR残基(例如一次4-6个残基)随机化。可以例如使用丙氨酸扫描诱变或建模来特异性鉴定涉及抗原结合的CDR残基。特别地,HCDR3和LCDR3经常被作为靶点。
在某些实施方案中,取代、插入或缺失可以在一个或多个CDR内发生,只要此类变化不实质性降低抗体结合抗原的能力。例如,可以对CDR做出保守变化(例如保守取代,如本文中提供的),其不实质性降低结合亲和力。此类变化不发生在抗原接触残基。
一种可用于鉴定抗体中可以作为诱变靶位的残基或区域的方法称作“丙氨酸扫描诱变”。在这种方法中,鉴定一个残基或残基组(例如带电荷的残基,诸如Arg、Asp、His、Lys和Glu),并且用中性或带负电荷的氨基酸(例如,Ala或聚丙氨酸)替换以确定该抗体与抗原的相互作用是否受影响。可以在对初始取代显示功能敏感性的氨基酸位置引入进一步的取代。此外,可通过研究抗原-抗体复合物的晶体结构来鉴定抗体与抗原间的接触点。这些接触残基及邻近残基可以作为取代候选物被打靶或消除。可以筛选变体以确定它们是否含有期望的特性。
氨基酸序列插入包括:在氨基和/或羧基端融合1个残基或长度为100或更多个残基的多肽,和单个或多个氨基酸残基的序列内插入。在末端插入的例子包括具有N端甲硫氨酰基残基的抗体。抗体分子的其它插入变体包括,在抗体的N或C端融合有酶(或延长抗体的血清半衰期的多肽)的融合物。
Fc区的改造
在一个方面,本披露的抗原结合分子的Fc区包含一个或多个氨基酸取代,所述一个或多个氨基酸取代减少其与Fc受体的结合,例如其与Fcγ受体的结合,并且降低或消除效应子功能。天然IgG Fc区,具体地是IgG 1Fc区或IgG 4Fc区,可能导致本披露的抗原结合分子靶向表达Fc受体的细胞,而不是表达抗原的细胞。本披露改造的Fc区表现出降低的对Fc受体的结合亲和力和/或降低的效应子功能。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对Fc受体的结合亲和力下降50%、80%、90%或95%以上。在一些实施方案中,所述的Fc受体是Fcγ受体。在一些实施方案中,所述Fc受体是人Fcγ受体,例如FcγRI、FcγRIIa、FcγRIIB、FcγRIIIa。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对补体(如C1q)的结合亲和力降低。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对新生儿Fc受体(FcRn)的结合亲和力不降低。在一些实施例中,改造的Fc区具有降 低的效应子功能,所述降低的效应子功能可以包括但不限于以下中的一个或多个:降低的补体依赖性细胞毒性(CDC)、降低的抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性(ADCC)、降低的抗体依赖性细胞吞噬(ADCP)、减少的细胞因子分泌、减少的免疫复合物介导的抗原呈递细胞的抗原摄取、减少的与NK细胞的结合、减少的与巨噬细胞的结合、减少的与单核细胞的结合、减少的与多形核细胞的结合、减少的直接信号传导诱导性细胞凋亡、降低的树突细胞成熟或减少的T细胞引发。
对于IgG 1Fc区,在238、265、269、270、297、327和329等位置的氨基酸残基取代可降低的效应子功能。在一些实施方案中,所述Fc区是人IgG 1Fc区,并且在234和235位置的氨基酸残基为A,编号依据为EU索引。对于IgG 4Fc区,在228等位置的氨基酸残基取代可降低的效应子功能。
抗原结合分子还可包含二硫键改造,例如第一亚基的354C和第二亚基的349C。
抗原结合分子包含与Fc区的两个亚基融合的结合模块时,可能导致不期望的同源二聚化。为了提高产率和纯度,因此在本披露的抗原结合分子的Fc区中引入促进异源二聚化的修饰将是有利的。在一些实施方式中,本披露的Fc区包含根据杵臼(knob-into-hole,KIH)技术的改造,该方法涉及在一个亚基的界面处引入凸起结构(knob)以及在另一个亚基的界面处引入孔结构(hole)。使得所述凸起结构可以定位在孔结构中,促进异源二聚体的形成并抑制同源二聚体的产生。凸起结构是通过用较大侧链(例如酪氨酸或色氨酸)取代来自一个亚基的界面的小氨基酸侧链而构建的。而孔结构是通过用较小的氨基酸侧链(例如丙氨酸或苏氨酸)取代大氨基酸侧链而在另一个亚基的界面中创建的。凸起结构和孔结构通过改变编码多肽的核酸来制备,可选的氨基酸取代如下表3所示:
表3.KIH突变组合
Figure PCTCN2022102621-appb-000002
除了杵臼技术外,用于修饰重链的CH3结构域以实现异源二聚化的其他技术也是本领域中已知的,例如WO96/27011、WO98/050431、EP1870459、WO2007/110205、WO 007/147901、WO2009/089004、WO2010/129304、WO2011/90754、WO2011/143545、WO2012/058768、WO2013/157954和WO013/096291。
Fc区的C末端可以是以氨基酸残基PGK结束的完整C末端;也可以是截短的C末端,例如在所述截短的C末端中已经去除了一个或两个C末端氨基酸残基。在一个优选的方面中,Fc区的C末端是以PG结束的缩短的C末端。因此,在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物可以包括去除了所有K447残基和/或G446+K447 残基的抗体群体。在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物可以包括没有去除K447残基和/或G446+K447残基的抗体群体。在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物具有带有和不带有K447残基和/或G446+K447残基的抗体混合物的抗体群体。

为了重组产生抗原结合分子,将编码蛋白的核酸分离并插入一个或更多个载体中,用于在宿主细胞中进一步克隆和/或表达。此类核酸可以使用常规程序容易地分离和测序,或者通过重组方法产生或通过化学合成获得。
用于克隆或表达编码抗原结合分子的载体的适当宿主细胞包括本文描述的原核或真核细胞。例如,可在细菌中产生,特别是当不需要糖基化和Fc效应子功能时。在表达后,可以在可溶级分中从细菌细胞糊状物分离,并且可进一步纯化。
除了原核生物以外,真核微生物诸如丝状真菌或酵母也是用于编码抗原结合分子的载体的合适的克隆或表达宿主,包括真菌和酵母菌株。适于表达抗原结合分子的合适的宿主细胞也可源自多细胞生物体(无脊椎动物和脊椎动物);无脊椎动物细胞的例子包括植物和昆虫细胞。已经鉴定了许多杆状病毒株,其可与昆虫细胞联合使用,特别是用于草地贪夜蛾(Spodoptera frugiperda)细胞的转染;还可利用植物细胞培养物作为宿主,例如US5959177、US 6040498、US6420548、US 7125978和US6417429;也可将脊椎动物细胞用作宿主,例如适应于在悬浮液中生长的哺乳动物细胞系。适宜的哺乳动物宿主细胞系的其它例子是经SV40转化的猴肾CVl系(COS-7);人胚肾系(293或293T细胞);幼仓鼠肾细胞(BHK);小鼠塞托利(sertoli)细胞(TM4细胞);猴肾细胞(CV1);非洲绿猴肾细胞(VERO-76);人宫颈癌细胞(HELA);犬肾细胞(MDCK);水牛鼠(buffalo rat)肝细胞(BRL3A);人肺细胞(W138);人肝细胞(Hep G2);小鼠乳房肿瘤(MMT 060562);TRI细胞;MRC 5细胞;和FS4细胞。其它适宜的哺乳动物宿主细胞系包括中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞,包括DHFR-CHO细胞;以及骨髓瘤细胞系,如Y0、NS0和Sp2/0。关于适合产生抗体的某些哺乳动物宿主细胞系的综述参见例如Yazaki,P.和Wu,A.M.,Methods in Molecular Biology,Vol.248,Lo,B.K.C.(编),Humana Press,Totowa,NJ(2004),第255-268页。
