[0286] Example 1: Generation of anti-HBsAg viral antibodies

[0287] Human memory B cells from HBV-vaccinated donors were expanded in vitro and selected for their ability to secrete IgG antibodies against HBsAg. Specific B cells were lysed and the VH (heavy) and VL (light) chains were amplified by RT-PCR and then sequenced and analyzed to identify key post-translational modification (PTM) sites. The plasmids for the VH and VL chains are then transfected into an IgG1 backbone vector in a CHO mammalian cell line to express intact IgG1 antibodies.

[0288]Methods for generating monoclonal antibodies using phage display technology are known in the art (Antibody Methods and Protocols, Methods in Molecular Biology Vol. 901, 2012, Chapter 3:33). Briefly, by complexing with biotinylated recombinant HBsAg (TRINA Bioreactives AG, Cat. No. C028-3001994774 (AD serotype), C028-3001994774 (AY serotype) or Biorbyte, Cat. No. orb82536 (AD isotype)) Solution panning with streptavidin-conju...

[0294] Example 2: Binding of anti-HBsAg antibody to HBsAg

[0295] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to determine the binding affinity interactions (K D ). HBsAg particles were immobilized on the S-series CM5 sensor chip at approximately 800 RU, and anti-HBsAg antibodies were flowed in 2-fold serial dilutions starting from 128 nM to utilize a Biacore T200 instrument (GEHeathcare, catalog number 28975001, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) assesses the combination. K was determined by fitting the curve with a 1:1 fit model D (O'Shannessy et al. Anal.Biochem [Analytical Biochemistry] 1993; 212:457-468; Karlsson, J. Immunol. Methods. 1997; 200:121-133).

[0296] K of anti-HBsAg antibody measured by Biacore D Values ​​ranged from 110 pM to 40 nM and were comparable between the two major serotypes (AD and AY) for each antibody tested. The Biacore affinity data summary of the anti-HBsAg antibody is shown in Table 4, and the SPR curve is shown in figure 1 A / B-16A / B.

[0300] Example 3: Neutralization of hepatitis B virus infection by anti-HBsAg antibodies

[0301] Infectious HBV virus was purified from genotype D, serotype ayw cell culture-derived HBV as described (Meier et al., J. Virol Hepat. 2017;24:662-671). Anti-HBsAg antibodies were pre-incubated with virus for 1 hour at 37°C to allow binding and neutralization. HepG2-hNTCP1 cells generated in-house as described (Tropberger et al, Proc. Fresh medium was replaced and incubated for an additional 6 days to allow virus entry, cccDNA establishment and viral protein expression. Supernatants were recovered and analyzed for HBeAg levels by a custom in-house eAg AlphaScreen assay (Perkin Elmer, Bridgeville, PA). Data were analyzed using an Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer, Cat. No. 2105-0010, Bridgeville, PA) and expressed as percent infection relative to untreated control wells.

[0302] All antibodies were able to neutralize HBV infection, EC 50 Values ​​ranged from 17pM to 740pM, an...

Abstract

The present invention relates to anti-HBsAg antibodies, antibody fragments, and their uses for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B virus infection and associated diseases.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Serial No. 62 / 678,756, filed May 31, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to anti-hepatitis B surface antigen antibodies, antibody fragments and uses thereof for reducing the likelihood or treatment of hepatitis B virus infection. Background technique [0004] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped, hepatotropic virus that infects the liver and can cause chronic hepatitis B (CHB), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although there is a safe vaccine against HBV, at least 600,000 people worldwide die each year from HBV-related disorders. Disease progression is influenced by viral load, genotype, and specific viral mutations (Biswas et al., Med. Virol. 2013;85:1340-1347). HBV is classified into ten genotypes or into four serotypes (asw, adr, ayw, and ayr) based on epit...
