AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

LAIR-1 has also been shown to be expressed on epithelial ovarian cancer cells and other human tumors, but the function of LAIR-1 expressed on solid tumors remains unclear (Meyaard et al., 1997, Immunity 7:283-290; Cao et al. People, 2015, Biochem.Biophys.Res.Commun.458:399-404)

Embodiment 1

[0496] Example 1: LAIR antibodies and their heavy and light chain sequences

[0497] Materials and methods

[0498] Mouse anti-human LAIR-1 monoclonal antibody

[0499]Mice were immunized with soluble human LAIR-1 (soluble LAIR-1 refers to the extracellular domain of LAIR-1) fused to murine G2a Fc (SEQ ID NO: 10). Mice were challenged 2 weeks later with the same immunogen. Mice received a third dose of antigen after two weeks. Three days after the last boost, mouse splenocytes were harvested and resuspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS and glutamine, and later fused to form hybridomas.

[0500] RACE

[0501] RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) to identify heavy and light chains was performed according to the following protocol: (1) mRNA denaturation, (2) cDNA synthesis, (3) 5' RACE reaction, (4) analyzed PCR results (on agar Glycogel to visualize the amplified DNA fragments - correct antibody variable region DNA fragments should have a size between 500-700 base...

Embodiment 2

[0792] Example 2: Purification of LAIR-2Fc

[0793] Methods and materials

[0794] LAIR-2hIgG1 (hereinafter referred to as LAIR-2Fc) was produced by using the CHOK1SV KO parental line transfected with the Lonza GS vector. This cell line was used to express the lead candidate LAIR-2hIgG1 (native IgG1) and the mutated Fc version LAIR2-hlgG1Fc (L145A / L146A). LAIR-2Fc was purified by protein A chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE ( Figure 6A ) and size exclusion chromatograms to assess purity ( Figure 6B ). LAIR-1Fc was prepared similarly to the control, and LAIR-2Fc was purified by size exclusion chromatography and visualized using SDS PAGE.

[0795] result

[0796] Figure 6A is an SDS-PAGE gel showing LAIR-2Fc under reducing and non-reducing conditions. Figure 6B is a chromatogram showing a single main peak at 38.550 minutes. The data confirm the expected size of LAIR-2Fc, as well as the high level of purity of the LAIR-2Fc protein used in the studies describe...

Embodiment 3

[0797] Example 3: Binding of LAIR-2Fc to Collagen

[0798] Materials and methods

[0799] K562AML cell lines with stable expression of collagen 17 or controls lacking collagen 17 were stained with 1 ug of LAIR-2Fc and LAIR-1Fc, incubated on ice for 30 min, and then washed in FACS buffer (PBS+1% FBS) Cells were then stained with 0.05ug anti-hlgG-PE for 30 minutes on ice. Cells were washed, resuspended in FACS fixation buffer (3% paraformaldehyde in PBS) and evaluated by flow cytometry.

[0800] result

[0801] LAIR-2Fc was assessed by its ability to bind the endogenous transmembrane ligand collagen 17 expressed on the surface of K562 cells ( Figure 7A with 7B ) and LAIR-1Fc ( Figure 7C with 7D )Feature. SDS-PAGE analysis of LAIR-2Fc and LAIR-1Fc was used to assess the purity of the proteins used in this and subsequent studies ( Figure 7E with 7F ). For all data presented here, a purity of greater than 95% for LAIR-2Fc and LAIR-1 Fc was standard.

Abstract

Compositions and methods of use thereof for modulating LAIR-1 are provided. For example, immunomodulatory agents are provided that reduce LAIR-1 expression, ligand binding, crosslinking, negative signaling, or a combination thereof. Such agents can be used to increase an immune response in a subject in need thereof. Exemplary agents include (i) a soluble LAIR-2 polypeptide or fusion protein, (ii)a soluble LAIR-1 polypeptide or fusion protein, (iii) a function blocking anti-LAIR-1 antibody, (iv) an antibody that depletes LAIR-1 positive cells, and (y) combinations thereof. Immunomodulatory agents are also provided that increase LAIR-1 expression, ligand binding, crosslinking, negative signaling, or a combination thereof. Such agents can be used to reduce an immune response in a subject inneed thereof. Exemplary agents include: (i) a function activating anti-LAIR-1 antibody, (ii) a function blocking anti-LAIR-2 antibody, and (iii) a combination thereof.
