Abstract
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 an antibody specifically targeting GPRC5D and its application. 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 range 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 through BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) target point, but for MM patients with negative or low expression of BCMA, relapse still occurs after receiving targeted BCMA CAR-T cell treatment, and there is a problem of target escape. In order to alleviate the problem of relapse mediated by BCMA escape, it is the key to find a better specific MM target point (such as GPRC5D) or simultaneously target other antigen target points (such as CD3, CD19, CD38, GPRC5D, etc.), and GPRC5D is likely to become a popular candidate target point 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 multiple myeloma (MM) treatment. 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 single-domain antibody F08 specifically targeting GPRC5D, its derivatives, biological materials and applications.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] The present application provides a single-domain antibody specifically targeting GPRC5D, comprising HCDR1-3 of a heavy chain variable region, wherein HCDR1 consists of SEQ ID NO: 30; HCDR2 consists of SEQ ID NO: 31; and HCDR3 consists of SEQ ID NO: 32.
[0009] In the context of the present application, the term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and explicitly covers single-domain antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, human-derived antibodies, chimeric antibodies and multispecific antibodies (e.g. diabodies) formed from at least two intact antibodies, as long as they exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0010] In the present application, the term "single-domain antibody" (sdAb) is also known as VHH antibody or camelid antibody, which is an artificially designed antibody molecule, a kind of naturally light chain-deleted heavy chain antibody (HCAb) found in camelids such as llamas, dromedaries and chondrichthyes such as sharks and skates, which includes two constant regions (CH2 and CH3), a hinge region and a heavy chain variable region (VHH), and then a single-domain antibody containing only one heavy chain variable region, i.e. VHH antibody, is cloned. The crystal structure of VHH antibody is an ellipse with a size of 4 nm x 2.5 nm x 3 nm, and the molecular weight is only 1 / 10 of that of ordinary antibodies, about 12-14 kDa, which is the smallest complete antigen-binding fragment, so it is also called nanobody.
[0011] In the present application, the term "CDR" refers to the "hypervariable region" or "complementarity determining region" of an antibody, there are three CDRs in both heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region, which together form the antigen binding site of the antibody, and can form a precise complement with the antigenic determinant in the spatial structure. Examples of other antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from different antibody fragments. The positions of CDRs in the variable region are marked differently according to different numbering systems, numbering schemes include IMGT, Chothia, Kabat, etc. The IMGT numbering scheme is based on the amino acid sequence alignment of the germline V gene; the Chothia numbering scheme is based on the crystal structure; the Kabat numbering scheme defines the variability parameter as the number of different amino acids at a given position divided by the frequency of the most amino acids at that position. In some embodiments, the sequences of HCDR1-3 of the heavy chain variable region of the antibodies described in the present application can be obtained based on the full-length sequence of the heavy chain variable region according to the Kabat, IMGT, Chothia, AbM or Contact numbering system, and the CDR sequences defined according to the Kabat, IMGT, Chothia, AbM or Contact numbering system are also within the scope of the present application.

[0014] In the present application, the modified antibody sequences also fall within the scope of the present application. The term "modification" refers to any form of modification to the amino acid sequence, such as substitution, deletion, insertion and / or addition of amino acids. The term "substitution" refers to the replacement of one or more amino acids in the original amino acid sequence with different amino acids. The term "deletion" refers to the reduction of one or more amino acids in the original amino acid sequence. The term "insertion" or "addition" refers to a change in the amino acid sequence resulting in the addition of one or more amino acids compared to the original amino acid sequence.
[0015] In the present application, the antibody sequence modified to have 80% and above identity with the amino acid sequence of the antibody of the first aspect of the present application also falls within the protection scope of the present application.

After immunization, the sera of the immunized llamas were separated, and ELISA and FACS detection verification were performed, respectively. Then, the peripheral blood of the above llamas was collected, PBMC cells were separated, RNA was extracted, and cDNA was reverse transcribed. VHH sequence was amplified from the cDNA sample using a single-domain antibody cloning primer combination, and was subcloned into the phage display vector pDisplay. The SS320 E. coli competent cells were electroporated to construct a single-domain antibody phage display library (2 llamas mixed library). The mixed library sequence is shown in Table 1. Figure 1 Two llamas were mixed to construct the library, and 48 clones were sequenced. Two antibody sequences with one base missing and one empty sequence were removed, and the remaining sequences were all antibody sequences, with good diversity.
[0083] 2. Screening of antibodies and verification The above-mentioned library was screened using the following proteins / cell lines: GPRC5D-VLP protein / CHO-S-GPRC5D cell line, and VLP protein / CHO-S cell line. The first and third rounds were VLP screening, and the second and fourth rounds were cell screening. The candidate clone sequences 1-B11, 2-D06, 1-G08, 1-G09, 2-A12, 2-B05, 2-B06, and 2-B08 were screened (Table 1) and constructed into a pcDNA3.4-IgG1 Fc antibody expression vector (as shown in Table 1). After expression by 293F transfection, the supernatant was combined with CHO-S-GPRC5D cells for verification, and the effective binding clone antibodies were purified and then detected for FACS EC50. The results showed that the candidate antibodies were strongly combined with CHO-S-GPRC5D cells, including C07, F08, B05, A12, and B11. Figure 2
