Problems solved by technology

Common problems in the production of scFv-based multivalent and multispecific drugs with existing technologies are: low expression levels, heterogeneous product forms, instability in solution leading to aggregation, instability in serum, and reduced affinity
The main disadvantages of this “Tribody” technology include reduced binding affinity of the attached scFv, heterogeneous product form, instability in solution leading to aggregation

preparation example Construction

[0294] Methods for making and screening aptamers capable of binding a particular target of interest are well known, eg, US Patent No. 5,475,096 and US Patent No. 5,270,163, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Techniques typically involve selection from a mixture of candidate aptamers and stepwise iterative binding, separation of bound from unbound aptamers, and amplification. Since in a mixture only a small number of sequences (possibly only one molecule of aptamer) are present corresponding to the highest affinity aptamer, it is usually best to set the partitioning criteria so that during the separation, an effective amount of aptamer in the mixture (approx. 5-50%). Each round enriches aptamers with high affinity for the target. 3-6 rounds of selection and amplification cycles can be repeated to generate aptamers that bind the target with high affinity and specificity.

[0353] Example 1. General strategy for generating modular Fab subunits

[0354] Fab modules were generated as fusion proteins containing DDD or AD sequences. Independent transgenic cell lines were developed for each Fab fusion protein. Once the modules are produced, the modules can be purified if necessary, or retained in the cell culture supernatant. Any (Fab-DDD) 2 After the module is produced, it can be combined with any Fab-AD module to generate a bispecific trivalent Fab (bsTF).

[0355] The plasmid vector pdHL2 has been used to generate various antibodies and antibody-based constructs. See Gillies et al., J Immunol Methods (1989), 125:191-202; Losman et al., Cancer (Phila) (1997), 80:2660-6. A bicistronic mammalian expression vector directs the synthesis of IgG heavy and light chains. For many different IgG-pdHL2 constructs, the vector sequence is mostly identical, only in the variable region (V H and V L ) differences in the sequence. These IgG expression vector...

[0400] Construction of h679-Fd-AD1-pdHL2

[0401] h679-Fd-AD1-pdHL2 is an expression vector for producing h679 Fab, in which AD1 is linked to the carboxy-terminal of FdCH1 region through a flexible Gly / Ser peptide spacer composed of 14 amino acid residues. The pdHL2-based vector containing the variable region of h679 was transformed into h679-Fd-AD1-pdHL2 by replacing the SacII / EagI fragment with the CH1-AD1 fragment that was shuttled from CH1-AD1-SV3 with SacII and EagI cut from the carrier.

[0403] C-DDD1-Fd-hMN-14-pdHL2 is an expression vector that produces a stable dimer, which contains two copies of the fusion protein C-DDD1-Fab-hMN-14, in which DDD1 is at the carboxy-terminal of CH1 through a flexible The peptide spacer was linked to hMN-14Fab. The plasmid vector hMN14(I)-pdHL2, which had been used to produce hMN-14 IgG, was converted to C-DDD1-Fd by digestion with SacII and Eag...

Abstract

The present invention concerns methods and compositions for stably tethered structures of defined compositions with multiple functionalities and / or binding specificities. Particular embodiments concern stably tethered structures comprising a homodimer of a first monomer, comprising a dimerization and docking domain attached to a first precursor, and a second monomer comprising an anchoring domain attached to a second precursor. The first and second precursors may be virtually any molecule or structure, such as antibodies, antibody fragments, antibody analogs or mimetics, aptamers, binding peptides, fragments of binding proteins, known ligands for proteins or other molecules, enzymes, detectable labels or tags, therapeutic agents, toxins, pharmaceuticals, cytokines, interleukins, interferons, radioisotopes, proteins, peptides, peptide mimetics, polynucleotides, RNAi, oligosaccharides, natural or synthetic polymeric substances, nanoparticles, quantum dots, organic or inorganic compounds, etc. The disclosed methods and compositions provide a simple, easy to purify way to obtain any binary compound attached to any monomeric compound, or any trinary compound.

Description

[0001] Background of the invention [0002] Existing technologies for the production of antibody-based drugs with multifunctionality or binding specificity suffer from many limitations. For drugs produced by recombinant engineering, these limitations can include high production costs, low expression yields, instability in serum, instability in solution leading to aggregate or dissociated subunit formation, due to the presence of multiple products form and contain contaminating by-products leading to uncertain batch composition, reduced functional activity or binding affinity / avidity due to steric factors or conformational changes, etc. For drugs produced with different chemical cross-linking methods, two major limitations are high production costs and heterogeneity of purified products. [0003] In recent years, there has been increased interest in antibodies or other binding moieties that bind more than one antigenic determinant (also known as an epitope). In general, natural...
