Problems solved by technology

If the antigen triggering this response is an innocuous environmental antigen the result is allergy, if the antigen is not a foreign antigen, but a self antigen, it can result is autoimmune disease; if the antigen is an antigen from a transplanted organ, the result can be graft rejection.
However, some of these autoreactive cells escape this selective mechanism and pose a potential hazard for the development of autoimmune diseases.

Primary Mixed Lymphocyte Response (MLR)

Cells

[0104]Blood samples are obtained from healthy human donors. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are isolated by centrifugation over Ficoll-Hypaque (Pharmacia LKB) from leukocytes from whole peripheral blood, leukopheresis or buffy coats with known blood type, but unknown HLA type. In some MLR experiments, PBMC are directly used as the stimulator cells after the irradiation at 40 Gy. In the other experiments, T cells were depleted from PBMC by using CD2 or CD3 Dynabeads (Dynal, Oslo, Norway). Beads and contaminating cells are removed by magnetic field. T cell-depleted PBMC are used as simulator cells after the irradiation.

[0105]PBMC, CD3+ T cells or CD4+ T cells are used as the responder cells in MLR. Cells are prepared from different donors to stimulator cells. CD3+ T cells are purified by negative selection using anti-CD16 mAb (Zymed, Calif.), goat anti-mouse IgG Dynabeads, anti-CD14 Dynabeads, CD19 Dynabeads. In addition anti-CD8 D...

Secondary MLR

[0112]In order to assess whether a “candidate mAb” induces unresponsiveness of CD4+ T cells to specific alloantigens, secondary MLR is performed in the absence of any antibodies after the primary MLC. CD4+ T cells are cultured with irradiated allogeneic stimulator cells (T cells-depleted PBMC) in the presence of the indicated antibody in 96-well culture plates for 10 days (primary MLC). Then, cells are collected, layered on a Ficoll-Hypaque gradient to remove dead cells, washed twice with RPMI, and restimulated with the same stimulator, 3rd party stimulator cells or IL-2 (50 U / ml). The cells are cultured for 3 days and the proliferative response is determined by pulsing the cells with 3H-thymidine for the last 16-20 hours of culture.

[0113]Specifically, CD4+ T cells are cultured with irradiated allogeneic stimulator cells (T cells-depleted PBMC taken from other donors) in the presence of 10 μg / ml of the “candidate mAb”, control IgG1 chimeric Ab and F(ab′)2 fragment of go...

In Vivo Survival Studies in SCID-Mice

[0118]Engraftment of hu-PBL in SCID Mice

[0119]Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are injected intraperitoneally into SCID mice C.B 17 / GbmsTac-Prkdcscid Lystbg mice (Taconic, Germantown, N.Y.) in an amount sufficient to induce a lethal xenogeneic graft-versus-host disease (xGvHD) in >90% of the mice within 4 weeks after cell transfer. Such treated SCID mice are hereinafter designated as hu-PBL-SCID mice

Mab-Treatment of hu-PBL-SCID Mice

[0120]Hu-PBL-SCID mice are treated with a “candidate mAb” or mouse or chimeric isotype matched mAb controls at day 0, immediately after PBMC injection, at day 3, day 7 and at weekly intervals thereafter. Mabs are delivered subcutaneously in 100 μl PBS at a final concentration of 5 mg / kg body weight. The treatment was stopped when all control mice were dead.

Evaluation of Treatment Results

[0121]The main criterion to assess the efficacy of a “candidate mAb” in this study was the survival of the hu-PBL-SCID ...

Abstract

A molecule comprising at least one antigen binding site, comprising in sequence the hypervariable regions CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, said CDR1 having the amino acid sequence Asn-Tyr-Ile-Ile-His (NYIIH), said CDR2 having the amino acid sequence Tyr-Phe-Asn-Pro-Tyr-Asn-His-Gly-Thr-Lys-Tyr-Asn-Glu-Lys-Phe-Lys-Gly (YFNPYNHGTKYNEKFKG) and said CDR3 having the amino acid sequence Ser-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Ala-Trp-Phe-Asp-Thr (SGPYAWFDT); e.g. further comprising in sequence the hypervariable regions CDR1′, CDR2′ and CDR3′, CDR1′ having the amino acid sequence Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Ile-Gly-Thr-Ser-Ile-Gln (RASQNIGTSIQ), CDR2′ having the amino acid sequence Ser-Ser-Ser-Glu-Ser-Ile-Ser (SSSESIS) and CDR3′ having the amino acid sequence Gln-Gln-Ser-Asn-Thr-Trp-Pro-Phe-Thr (QQSNTWPFT), e.g. a chimeric or humanised antibody, useful as a pharmaceutical.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to organic compounds, such as to binding molecules against CD45 antigen isoforms, such as for example monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]One approach in the treatment of a variety of diseases is to achieve the elimination or the inactivation of pathogenic leukocytes and the potential for induction of tolerance to inactivate pathological immune responses.[0003]Organ, cell and tissue transplant rejection and the various autoimmune diseases are thought to be primarily the result of T-cell mediated immune response triggered by helper T-cells which are capable of recognizing specific antigens which are captured, processed and presented to the helper T cells by antigen presenting cell (APC) such as macrophages and dendritic cells, in the form of an antigen-MHC complex, i.e. the helper T-cell when recognizing specific antigens is stimulated to produce cytokines such as IL-2 and to express or upregulate som...
