Definitions
- the present disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology pharmaceutical preparations, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a bispecific antibody that specifically binds to DLL3 and CD3.
- Small cell lung cancer is a relatively malignant type of lung cancer, accounting for 10%-15% of all lung cancer cases. Small cell lung cancer tumors grow rapidly, are easy to metastasize, and have a 5-year survival rate of less than 7%.
- the treatment of small cell lung cancer is relatively limited, mainly chemical drugs, such as chemotherapy combined with platinum/etoposide. Patients with small cell lung cancer respond well to chemotherapy in the early stages, but are very likely to develop drug resistance and relapse.
- Immunotherapy in recent years, such as PD-L1 antibodies and PD1 antibodies has a certain effect on SCLC patients, but the effective rate is about 15%. At present, specific targeted therapy drugs have not yet been developed.
- DLL3 is a ligand that inhibits Notch. Under normal conditions, DLL3 is located on the Golgi apparatus. In cancer cells (such as small cell lung cancer cells), DLL3 is expressed on the cell surface. DLL3 binds to Notch in a cis manner, hindering cell-cell binding and Notch endocytosis in target cells, thereby inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway and promoting the growth of tumor cells. DLL3 is mainly expressed in neural or neuroendocrine tumors, including small cell lung cancer, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, small cell bladder cancer, multiforme glioma, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, melanoma, etc., especially SCLC. More than 80% of SCLC have positive expression of DLL3, while normal lung cancer tissue and adjacent tissues do not express it. This difference in expression makes DLL3 a very potential therapeutic target for the treatment of SCLC.
- CD3 is a homotypic or heterotypic dimeric antigen expressed on T cells. Functional CD3 is formed by dimerization of two of four different chains: ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ . CD3 dimer arrangements include ⁇ / ⁇ , ⁇ / ⁇ , and ⁇ / ⁇ . CD3 binds to the T cell receptor complex (TCR) and is required for T cell activation. Therefore, anti-CD3 antibodies that activate T cells have been proposed for the treatment of cancer. However, the administration of anti-CD3 antibodies may trigger T cell activation and related cytokine release, and excessive cytokine release leads to severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is an important challenge for the clinical use of anti-CD3 antibodies.

More substantial changes are provided in Table 2 under the heading of "exemplary substitutions", and are further described below with reference to amino acid side chain categories. Amino acid substitutions can be introduced into the antibody of interest, and the product is screened for desired activity, such as retained/improved antigen binding, reduced immunogenicity, or improved ADCC or CDC.
- amino acids can be grouped as follows:
- Non-conservative substitutions would involve exchanging a member from one class for a member from another class.
- a class of substitution variants involves replacing one or more CDR residues of a parent antibody (e.g., humanized or human antibody).
- a parent antibody e.g., humanized or human antibody
- the resulting variants selected for further study will have changes (e.g., improvements) in certain biological properties (e.g., increased affinity, reduced immunogenicity) relative to the parent antibody, and/or will substantially retain certain biological properties of the parent antibody.
- An exemplary substitution variant is an affinity-matured antibody, which can be conveniently produced, for example, using affinity maturation techniques based on phage display (such as those described herein).
- affinity maturation techniques based on phage display (such as those described herein).
- one or more CDR residues are mutated, and the variant antibody is displayed on phage, and a specific biological activity (e.g., binding affinity) is screened for it.
- Changes can be made to CDR, for example, to improve antibody affinity.
- Such changes can be made to CDR "hot spots", i.e., residues encoded by codons that undergo mutations at high frequencies during the somatic maturation process, and/or residues that contact antigens, while the resulting variant VH or VL is tested for binding affinity.
- affinity maturation diversity is introduced into the variable genes selected for maturation by any of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or oligonucleotide-guided mutagenesis). Then, a secondary library is created. Then, the library is screened to identify any antibody variant with the desired affinity.
- Another method of introducing diversity involves a CDR-directed method in which several CDR residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. CDR residues that are involved in antigen binding can be specifically identified, for example, using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling.
- substitutions, insertions or deletions may occur within one or more CDRs, as long as such changes do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind to antigen.
- conservative changes e.g., conservative substitutions, as provided herein
- each CDR is unchanged, or contains no more than 1, 2 or 3 amino acid substitutions.
- a method that can be used to identify residues or regions in an antibody that can be used as a target for mutagenesis is called "alanine scanning mutagenesis".
- a residue or group of residues e.g., charged residues, such as Arg, Asp, His, Lys, and Glu
- neutral or negatively charged amino acids e.g., Ala or polyalanine
- Further substitutions can be introduced at amino acid positions that show functional sensitivity to the initial substitution.
- the contact points between the antibody and the antigen can be identified by studying the crystal structure of the antigen-antibody complex. These contact residues and adjacent residues can be targeted or eliminated as substitution candidates. Variants can be screened to determine whether they contain desired properties.
- Amino acid sequence insertions include: fusions of 1 residue or polypeptides of 100 or more residues in length at the amino and/or carboxyl termini; and intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues.
- Examples of insertions at the terminals include antibodies with an N-terminal methionyl residue.

Abstract
提供一种包含特异性结合DLL3和CD3的双特异性抗体的药物组合物。具体而言,提供一种药物组合物,包含特异性结合DLL3和CD3的双特异性抗体和缓冲剂。
Description
本披露属于生物技术药物制剂领域,具体涉及一种包含特异性结合DLL3和CD3的双特异性抗体的药物组合物。
这里的陈述仅提供与本披露有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
小细胞肺癌(Small Cell Lung Cancer,SCLC)属于一种比较恶性的肺癌类型,占所有肺癌病例的10%-15%。小细胞肺癌的肿瘤生长速度快,容易转移,5年生存率低于7%。小细胞肺癌的治疗药物比较局限,主要是化药,如用铂类/依托泊苷联用化疗。小细胞肺癌病人对化疗初期响应良好,但极易产生耐药和复发。近几年的免疫治疗,如PD-L1抗体和PD1抗体,对SCLC患者有一定的效果,但是有效率约为15%。目前仍然还没有开发出特异性的靶向治疗药物。
DLL3是一种抑制Notch的配体,在正常状态下,DLL3处于高尔基体上,在癌细胞中(如小细胞肺癌细胞),DLL3会表达在细胞表面,DLL3以顺式方式结合Notch,阻碍了细胞和细胞结合以及Notch在目标细胞的内吞,从而抑制了Notch信号通路,促进肿瘤细胞的生长。DLL3主要表达于神经或者神经内分泌肿瘤,包括小细胞肺癌、大细胞神经内分泌癌、胃肠道神经内分泌瘤、小细胞膀胱癌、多形性胶质细胞瘤、转移性去势性前列腺癌、黑色素瘤等,尤其是SCLC,超过80%的SCLC有DLL3的阳性表达,而正常肺癌组织及癌旁组织中不表达。这种表达的差异性使得DLL3成为治疗SCLC的一种极具潜力的治疗靶点。
CD3是一种表达于T细胞上的同种型或异型二聚体抗原。功能性CD3由四条不同链:ε、ζ、δ及γ中的两者进行二聚体结合来形成。CD3二聚体排列包括γ/ε、δ/ε及ζ/ζ。CD3与T细胞受体复合物(TCR)结合且为T细胞活化所必需。因此,已提出使用活化T细胞的抗CD3抗体用于治疗癌症。然而,抗CD3抗体的给药可能会触发T细胞活化和相关的细胞因子释放,过度的细胞因子释放导致重度细胞因子释放综合征(CRS),其是抗CD3抗体在临床用药中的重要挑战。

除非另有说明,本披露实施方案中的可变区和CDR序列均适用“Kabat”编号规则。
术语“抗体片段”或“抗原结合片段”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、单链抗体分子(例如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天然序列Fc区包括人IgG1、IgG2(IgG2A、IgG2B)、IgG3和IgG4。除非另有说明,Fc区的编号规则为EU索引。
术语“嵌合”抗体指抗体中的重和/或轻链的一部分自特定的来源或物种衍生,而重和/或轻链的剩余部分自不同来源或物种衍生的抗体。
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。
术语“亲和力”是指分子(例如,抗体)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平衡解离常数(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)测量。术语“kassoc”或“ka”指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的缔合(association)速率,而如本文所使用的术语“kdis”或“kd”意在是指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的解离速率。如本文所使用的,术语“KD”指平衡解离常数,其获得自kd与ka的比率(即kd/ka)并且表示为摩尔浓度(M)。可以使用本领域已知的方法测定抗体的KD值,例如表面等离子体共振法、ELISA或溶液平衡滴定法(SET)。
术语“单克隆抗体”指基本上均质的抗体的群,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。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)的选择性结合剂所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(即通过蛋白质性质的抗原的三级折叠)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。筛选结合特定表位的抗体(即那些结合相同表位的)可以使用本领域例行方法来进行,例如但不限于丙氨酸扫描,肽印迹(见Meth.Mol.Biol.248(2004)443-463),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(见“Antibodies”,Harlow and Lane(Cold Spring Harbor Press,Cold Spring Harb.,NY))。
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,抗原结合分子能够以更高的亲和力结合至某个抗原或表位。通常,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FACS或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可能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。
术语“不结合”是指抗原结合分子不能够以上述特异性结合的方式结合至某个抗原或其表位。例如,当抗体以约1×10-6M或更大的平衡解离常数(KD)结合抗原或其表位。

术语“连接子”指连接两个多肽片段的连接单元。在本文中,同一结构式中出现的连接子可以是相同或不同的。连接子可以是肽连接子,其包含一个或多个氨基酸,典型的包含约1-30个、2-24个或3-15个氨基酸。应用于本文的连接子可以是相同或不同的。当“-”出现在结构式中,其表示两侧的单元直接通过共价键连接。
“Tm”是溶解变性温度(内源荧光)。当蛋白质变性(加热或变性剂作用)时,三级结构打开,芳香族氨基酸微环境发生变化,导致发射荧光光谱改变。本披露中,Tm1是指荧光变化到最大值的一半时的温度。
“Tonset”是变性起始温度。意指蛋白质开始变性时的温度,即荧光值开始变化时的温度。

取代、插入和删除变体
在某些实施方案中,提供了具有一处或多处氨基酸取代的抗原结合分子变体。可以在CDR和FR进行取代。保守取代在表2中在“优选的取代”的标题下显示。更实质的变化在表2中在“示例性取代”的标题下提供,并且如下文参照氨基酸侧链类别进一步描述的。可以将氨基酸取代引入感兴趣的抗体中,并且对产物筛选期望的活性,例如保留/改善的抗原结合,降低的免疫原性,或改善的ADCC或CDC。
表2.氨基酸的取代
依照常见的侧链特性,氨基酸可以如下分组:
(1)疏水性的:正亮氨酸,Met,Ala,Val,Leu,Ile;
(2)中性,亲水性的:Cys,Ser,Thr,Asn,Gln;
(3)酸性的:Asp,Glu;
(4)碱性的:His,Lys,Arg;
(5)影响链取向的残基:Gly,Pro;
(6)芳香族的:Trp,Tyr,Phe。
非保守取代会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。
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。在上文提供的变体VH和VL序列的某些实施方案中,每个CDR是未改变的,或者含有不超过1、2或3处氨基酸取代。
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),并且替换为中性或带负电荷的氨基酸(例如,Ala或聚丙氨酸),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,本披露的双特异性抗体的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IgG1 Fc区或IgG4 Fc区,可能导致本披露的双特异性抗体靶向表达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的结合亲和力也降低。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IgG1 Fc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IgG1 Fc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IgG4 Fc区,在228等位置的氨基酸残基取代可降低的效应子功能。
当双特异性抗体包含与Fc区的两个亚基融合的不同结合模块,可能导致不期望的同源二聚化。为了提高产率和纯度,因此在本披露的双特异性抗体的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,该方法涉及在第一亚基的界面处引入凸起结构(knob)以及在第二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)取代来自第一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第二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所示:
表3.KIH突变组合
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WO1996027011A1、WO1998050431、EP1870459、WO2007110205、WO2009089004、WO2010129304、WO201190754、WO2011143545、WO2012058768、WO2013157954和WO2013096291。
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,重链的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。
重组方法
双特异性抗体可以使用重组方法来产生。对于这些方法,提供编码双特异性抗体的一个或更多个分离的核酸。
在天然抗体、天然抗体片段或具有同源二聚体重链的双特异性抗体的情况下,需要两个核酸,一个用于轻链或其片段,一个用于重链或其片段。此类核酸编码包含抗体VL的氨基酸序列和/或包含抗体VH的氨基酸序列(例如抗体的轻链和/或重链)。这些核酸可以在相同的表达载体上或在不同的表达载体上。
在具有异二聚体重链的双特异性抗体的情况下,需要例如四个核酸,一个用于第一轻链,一个用于包含第一异源单体Fc区多肽的第一重链,一个用于第二轻链,并且一个用于包含第二异源单体Fc区多肽的第二重链。这四个核酸可包含在一个或更多个核酸分子或表达载体中,通常这些核酸位于两个或三个表达载体上,即一个载体可包含这些核酸中的多于一个。
在一个实施方案中,本披露提供了编码如前所述的抗体的分离的核酸。此类核酸可以独立地编码前述的任一多肽链。在另一方面中,本披露提供了包含此类核酸的一种或多种载体(例如表达载体)。在另一方面中,本披露提供了包含此类核酸的宿主细胞。在一个实施方案中,提供制备双特异性抗体的方法,其中所述方法包括,在适合抗体表达的条件下,培养包含编码所述抗体的核酸的宿主细胞,如上文所提供的,和任选地从宿主细胞(或宿主细胞培养基)回收所述抗体。
为了重组产生双特异性抗体,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(例如通过使用能够与编码抗体重链和轻链的基因特异性结合的寡核苷酸探针),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体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,抗体可在细菌中产生,特别是当抗体不需要糖基化和Fc效应子功能时。在表达后,抗体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体的载体的合适的克隆或表达宿主,包括真菌和酵母菌株,其糖基化途径已经“人源化”,导致产生具有部分或完全人糖基化模式的抗体。适于表达(糖基化)抗体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。
