Description

[0001] The present application is a divisional application, the parent application information is as follows: the title of the invention is GPRC5D single domain and humanized antibody thereof; the original application date is November 8, 2024, and the original application number is 202411591311X. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of genetic engineering and antibody technology, in particular to GPRC5D single domain antibody B11. BACKGROUND

[0003] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disease, and its tumor cells originate from plasma cells in bone marrow, and plasma cells are cells developed to the final functional stage of B lymphocytes. Therefore, multiple myeloma can be classified into the scope of B lymphocyte lymphoma. WHO classifies it as one of B cell lymphomas, called plasma cell myeloma / plasmacytoma. Its characteristics are abnormal proliferation of bone marrow plasma cells accompanied by excessive production of monoclonal immunoglobulin or light chain (M protein), and a small number of patients can be non-secretory MM without M protein. Multiple myeloma is often accompanied by multiple osteolytic lesions, hypercalcemia, anemia, and kidney damage. Because the production of normal immunoglobulin is inhibited, various bacterial infections are prone to occur.

[0004] At present, the main treatment method for MM is BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) target therapy, but for MM patients with negative or low expression of BCMA, relapse still occurs after receiving targeted BCMA CAR-T cell therapy, and there is a problem of target escape. In order to alleviate the problem of relapse mediated by BCMA escape, it is crucial to find a better specific MM target (such as GPRC5D) or simultaneously target other antigen targets (such as CD3, CD19, CD38, GPRC5D, etc.), and GPRC5D is likely to become a popular candidate target for treating MM.

[0005] GPRC5D (G protein-coupled receptor C5 family subtype D) is an atypical class C orphan G protein-coupled receptor, which belongs to 7 transmembrane proteins. In recent years, GPRC5D has become an extremely attractive target for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). This is mainly because GPRC5D is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, while its expression in normal tissues is very limited. Therefore, the present application aims to provide an antibody sequence targeting GPCR5D and its application in CAR-T and immune cell construction, thereby providing a new treatment idea for patients who are ineffective or relapse to existing therapies. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to make up for the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a GPRC5D single domain antibody B11, its antibody derivatives and applications.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
