Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to an anti-CD3 antibody and application thereof.
  • T lymphocytes play a very important role in the adaptive immune response and the precise regulation of the immune response.
  • the T cell receptor (TCR) on the surface of T cells exists in the form of heterodimers of ⁇ and ⁇ or ⁇ and ⁇ . After receiving the antigen peptide signal from the antigen presenting cell, the TCR cannot directly mediate the intracellular signal, but needs to form a complex with the CD3 molecule. Not only ⁇ and ⁇ TCRs form a complex with CD3, but ⁇ and ⁇ TCRs also form a complex with CD3. The loss of TCR or CD3 genes can lead to the disappearance of the TCR-CD3 complex from the surface of T cells.
  • the CD3 molecule is composed of 3 pairs of peptide chains formed by 5 peptide chains.
  • CD3 90% of CD3 is composed of ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ , while the other 10% of CD3 is composed of ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ .
  • the immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motif in the intracellular region of each CD3 peptide chain is phosphorylated by the tyrosine protein kinase p56 in the T cell, recruits and binds to tyrosine kinases such as ZAP-70, and participates in mediating TCR activation signals.
  • bispecific antibodies based on T cell redirection
  • the target of CD3 is widely selected.
  • CD3-related bispecific antibodies can mediate T cell activation by bypassing TCR and peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC), but the molecular process in the synapse is very similar to the interaction of classical TCR-pMHC.
  • the activity of bispecific antibodies is affected by CD3 affinity.
  • CD3 high-affinity bispecific antibodies have better promoting killing effects in in vitro experiments, but there is a higher risk of release factor syndrome in vivo.
  • studies have found that very low-affinity CD3 antibody sequences can also effectively stimulate T cell activation after constructing bispecific antibodies.
  • the bispecific antibody will prompt T cells to selectively locate to the tumor rather than in the peripheral circulation, avoiding systemic activation.
  • CD3 antibodies are species-specific. For example, clones such as UCHT-1, OKT3, and L2K react only with chimpanzee CD3 but not with other primates such as cynomolgus monkeys and rhesus monkeys CD3 or mouse CD3. Since new drug development must undergo rigorous non-clinical trials before clinical research can be conducted, it is necessary to find relevant species for preclinical safety evaluation. The use of chimpanzees for drug safety testing is highly restricted. Among the currently known CD3 antibodies with human-monkey cross-reactivity, the affinity of the SP34 antibody decreases by an order of magnitude after forming a single-chain antibody.
  • the inventors of the present application have successfully screened a mouse anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody that has high binding activity to human or monkey CD3 protein.
  • the inventors partially humanized the constant region of the obtained mouse antibody and retained the CDR of the mouse anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody to obtain a chimeric antibody.
  • the framework region in the light chain variable region or the heavy chain variable region of the chimeric antibody was humanized to obtain a fully humanized anti-CD3 antibody.
  • the chimeric antibody and humanized antibody can not only specifically target and bind to human CD3 protein and monkey CD3 protein, but also have the characteristics of low immunogenicity, and can effectively treat and/or prevent CD3-mediated related diseases, such as autoimmune diseases.
  • the bispecific antibody (bispecific antibody) or multispecific antibody (multispecific antibody) prepared using the anti-CD3 antibody can also specifically target and bind to human CD3 protein and monkey CD3 protein, and generally, based on the specificity of the bispecific antibody or multispecific antibody, the bispecific antibody or multispecific antibody can target T cells to other antigens, eliminate cells producing such antigens through T cell-mediated cell killing, thereby treating various diseases, such as tumors.
