Problems solved by technology

Such antibody preparations are often contaminated with fucosylated antibodies, limiting the increase in Fcγ receptor binding activity on fucosylated antibody preparations to ~3-fold (see e.g. Chung et al., MAbs (2012) 4 (3): 326-340)

Embodiment 1

[0307] Example 1: Preparation of Antigen Binding Molecules Comprising Engineered Fc Regions

[0308] The present inventors prepared antigen-binding molecules comprising heavy chains including amino acid substitutions at positions in the CH2 and / or CH3 regions to study the consequences of the substitutions on Fc effector functions.

[0309] An antigen-binding molecule is prepared comprising: (i) a light chain comprising a light chain variable region (VL) and a constant region light chain (CK) of an antibody specific to HER3, and (ii) a heavy chain comprising an antibody specific to HER3 Chain variable region (VH) and human immunoglobulin G1 (G1m3 allotype) heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), hinge region, heavy chain constant region 2 (CH2) and heavy chain constant region 3 (CH3).

[0310] The CH2 and CH3 regions are either unsubstituted or have the following substitution combinations:

[0325] Example 2: Thermal Stability Analysis of Antigen Binding Molecules Comprising Engineered Fc Regions by Differential Scanning Fluorescence analysis

[0326] The thermal stability of the antigen-binding molecules prepared as described in Example 1 was evaluated by differential scanning fluorescence.

[0327] Briefly, reaction mixtures of 0.2 mg / ml of antibody and Sypro orange dye (Thermo Fisher) were prepared in 25 μl PBS in triplicate and transferred to MicroAmp Optical 96-well reaction plates (Thermo Fisher). wells and sealed with MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Film (Thermo Fisher). Melting curves were run on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) with TAMRA selected as the reporter gene and ROX as the reference fluorescence. The thermal profile included an initial step of 2 minutes at 25°C and a final step of 2 minutes at 99°C with a ramp rate of 1.2%. Plot the first derivative of the raw data as a function of temperature to obtain a derivative melting ...

Embodiment 3

[0337] Example 3: Antigen-binding molecules containing an engineered Fc region directed against the human Fc receptor FcγRIIIA-158V Affinity analysis

[0338] Antigen binding molecules prepared as described in Example 1 were evaluated for binding to the human Fc receptor FcyRIIa by biolayer interferometry (BLI) using the Pall ForteBio Octet Red384 system.

[0339] Anti-penta-his (His1k) biosensors were purchased from Forte Bio (18-5120) and incubated in PBS buffer (pH 7.2) for 60 s to obtain the first baseline, followed by grouping in PBS pH 7.2 Amino acid-tagged human FcγRIIIa-158V was loaded for 120 seconds. After loading, the biosensor was incubated in PBS buffer (pH 7.2) for 60 seconds to obtain a second baseline, and then the antigen-binding molecules were tested in a diluted series (at concentrations ranging from 15.6 nM to 500 nM) in PBS, pH 7.2. ) for 60 seconds to obtain an association curve. Finally, the biosensor was incubated in PBS pH 7.2 for 120 s to obtain...

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from GB 1817354.2, filed 25 October 2018, the contents and elements of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. [0002] field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology, more specifically antibody technology. [0004] Background of the invention [0005] Two main (non-mutually exclusive) strategies to modulate (enhance or attenuate) antibody FC effector functions (ADCC, ADCP, CDC) are by altering Fc:Fc receptor and Fc:complement component 1q (C1) interactions. [0006] The most common approach involves providing amino acid substitutions to the polypeptide chain of the Fc region to generate a symmetrical (homodimeric) IgG molecule. [0007] Alternatively, antibodies can be glycoengineered; the most common strategies include modification of N-linked oligosaccharides by manipulating the glycan biosynthetic pathway in host cells, and glycan remodeling in vitro. Modifications in...
