Problems solved by technology

Although the antibody affinity (generally 10-100nM) obtained by screening is already at a relatively high level, it is still difficult to reach the level of antibody drugs (generally <10nM), and further modification and maturation are needed.
Among the more than 50 published TCRm, there are only 2 cases of antibodies targeting tumor neoantigens, respectively targeting the G12V mutation of KRAS and HLA-A*0201, the L858R mutation of EGFR and the pMHC formed by HLA-A*0301 , and the specificity of the latter is not ideal
There are only a small number of amino acid residue changes in the pMHC formed between the mutant protein and the normal protein, and the amino acid residues of the antigenic peptide are easily buried by MHC, which makes the screening of TCRm antibodies targeting tumor neoantigens extremely difficult and workload-intensive. Disadvantages such as poor specificity
The recognition of TCR to pMHC is highly specific, and the specific TCR that can recognize tumor neoantigens is expected to become a tumor-specific TCR targeting tumor cells, but the affinity of TCR is not satisfactory (generally 1-100 μM), which is also a limitation of TCR. As a bottleneck for the widespread application of drugs
[0005] On the other hand, TCR is a m

[0047] 1G4113 mammalian cell expression plasmid construction.

[0048] TCR selection 1G4113 (affinity-matured clone of TCR (named 1G4) targeting the complex of SLLMWITQC polypeptide and HLA-A*0201), from patent: US20110014169A1. A total of 5 different truncated and combined 1G4113 and IgG1 antibody constant regions were designed (the gene sequence of the heavy chain constant region and knob-into-hole mutation is shown in SEQ ID No.14, and the gene sequence of the light chain constant region is shown in SEQ ID Shown in No.15) Fusion expression form ( figure 1 ), and introduce GGGGSLPETGG polypeptide sequence (G 4 S-LPETGG) is used for subsequent catalytic coupling of sortase A to construct 9 human kidney epithelial cell (293F) expression plasmids.

[0049] 1G4113-1: Vα-(G 4 S) 3 -ECDβ(with C-terminal cysteine)-IgG1HC-G 4 S-LPETGG (gene sequence shown in SEQ ID No.1), the fusion protein forms a homodimer.

[0061] Expression and purification of 1G4113.

[0062] The above five kinds of plasmids containing different forms of 1G4113 (wherein 1G4113-1 is a plasmid, and 1G4113-2~5 include two plasmids for expressing two subunits respectively) were transfected into 293F cells for 4 days, 4000g, Centrifuge for 15 minutes, take the supernatant, filter it through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, and use Purification instrument and HiTrap Protein A HP prepacked column (purchased from GE, catalog number: 17-0403-01) for purification. Purification steps: HiTrap Protein A HP prepacked column was equilibrated with 100% Protein A loading buffer (50mM Tris-NaCl, 150mM NaCl, pH=7.4, filtered through a 0.45μm filter) and started to inject samples. After the sample injection, wash the prepacked column with 100% Protein A loading buffer until the unbound impurities are removed; finally use 100% Protein A elution buffer (50mM citric acid, pH=3.2, 0.45μm filter membrane filter) to collect the target prot...

[0065] T2 cells validate the specificity and affinity of 1G4113.

[0066] T2 cells (purchased from ATCC and cultured in IMDM medium containing 20% ​​serum) are TAP-deficient cell lines, and only empty HLA-A*0201 molecules exist on the cell surface. Form a specific pMHC complex for subsequent detection.

[0067] Collect the T2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and discard the supernatant. Wash twice with serum-free RPMI-1640 medium. Resuspended in serum-free IMDM medium, according to 5 × 10 5 1 / well spread in 12-well plate, 1mL / well. Add peptide (synthesized by Hefei Guopeptide Biotechnology Co., Ltd., purity>95%) to a final concentration of 25 μg / mL, and β2m (purchased from Sigma, catalog number: M4890) to a final concentration of 5 μg / mL. After mixing well, place at 37°C, 5% CO 2 , and incubated in a constant temperature incubator with saturated humidity for 6h.

[0068] After the incubation, the cells were collected by centrifugat...

Abstract

The invention discloses a recombinant antibody-like T cell antigen receptor, a T cell antigen receptor conjugate, a bi-specific molecule and application. By designing various IgG1 constant region and1G4113 fusion expression forms, the fusion protein form that soluble expression can be conducted in mammalian cells is obtained through screening, and the high-purity recombinant antibody-like T cellantigen receptor can be obtained simply by one-step purification. The recombinant antibody-like T cell antigen receptor is coupled with MMAE micromolecules to obtain the T cell antigen receptor conjugate, and the T cell antigen receptor conjugate can be used for being prepared into an anti-tumor drug. The recombinant antibody-like T cell antigen receptor is coupled with fluorescent dye molecules so as to be used for in-vivo positioning of the drug or tumor imaging. The recombinant antibody-like T cell antigen receptor is coupled with an anti-CD3 antibody to obtain the soluble expression bi-specific molecule, and the bi-specific molecule can be used for being prepared into the anti-tumor drug.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to a recombinant antibody-like T cell antigen receptor, a T cell antigen receptor coupled drug, a bispecific molecule and its application. Background technique [0002] Cancer has become an important disease that endangers human health. In recent years, tumor immunotherapy represented by tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive immune cell therapy and individualized tumor vaccines has shown unprecedented anti-tumor therapeutic effects, and has become a hot spot in cancer research and clinical treatment. The selection of tumor antigen targets is a key factor for the success of tumor immunotherapy. Tumor neoantigens have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their tumor specificity, and have become potential ideal targets for tumor immunotherapy. [0003] Somatic mutation is an important driving factor for the development of tumors. There are a large number of...
