AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a new treatment for tumor immunity, which involves using a combination of a PD-L1 antibody and traditional therapies like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. The treatment can be particularly effective for breast, lung, colon, ovarian, melanoma, bladder, kidney, liver, salivary, stomach, gliomas, thyroid, thymic, epithelial, head and neck cancers, gastric, and pancreatic cancer. The treatment can help to improve the immune system's response to cancer and enhance its ability to target and attack tumors.

Problems solved by technology

In the absence of co-stimulation, T-cells can become refractory to antigen stimulation, do not mount an effective immune response, and further may result in exhaustion or tolerance to foreign antigens.
However, as an optimal therapeutic directed to a target in this pathway has yet to be commercialized, a significant unmet medical need exists.

Identification of Anti-PD-L1 Antibodies in Phage Libraries

Library Sorting and Screening to Identify Anti-PD-L1 Antibodies

[0541]Human (R&D Systems, cat#156-B7) and murine (R&D Systems, cat#1019-B7) PD-L1-Fc fusions were used as antigens for alternate library sorting. Specifically, phage libraries were sorted first against human antigen, followed by murine, human, and murine antigen in the subsequent three rounds. Nunc 96 well Maxisorp® immunoplates were coated overnight at 4° C. with target antigen (10 μg / ml) and were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with phage blocking buffer PBST (phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 1% (w / v) bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.05% (v / v) tween-20). Antibody phage libraries VH (see, e.g., Lee et al., J. Immunol. Meth. 284:119-132, 2004) and VH / VL (see Liang et al., J. Mol. Biol. 366: 815-829, 2007) were added to antigen plates separately and incubated overnight at room temperature. The following day antigen-coated plates were washed ten times with...

Characterization of Anti-PD-L1 Antibodies (BIAcore)

[0557]Binding affinities of anti-PD-L1 phage antibodies YW243.55 and YW243.55S70 against recombinant human and mouse PD-L1 were measured by surface plasmon resonance (SRP) using a BIAcorem™-3000 instrument. Recombinant human PD-L1-Fc (R&D Systems, cat #156-B7) and recombinant mouse PD-L1-Fc (R&D Systems, cat#1019-B7) were directly coated on CM5 biosensor chips to achieve approximately 500 response units (RU). For kinetics measurements, two-fold serial dilutions (3.9 nm to 500 nm) were injected in PBT buffer (PBS with 0.05% Tween-20) at 25° C. with a flow rate of 30 μL / min. Association rates (kon) and dissociation rate (koff) were calculated using a simple one-to-one Languir binding model (BIAcore Evaluation Software version 3.2). The equilibrium dissociation constant (kD) was calculated as the ratio koff / kon.

[0558]The binding affinities of anti-PD-L1 phage antibody clones YW243.55 and YW243.55.570 measured are reported below in Tabl...

Specificity of Anti-PD-L1 Abs for Human, Rhesus and Mouse PD-L1—FACS and Radioligand Cell Binding Assay)

[0559]This example shows the specificity for the anti-PD-L1 antibody of the invention for human, rhesus and mouse PD-L1. In addition, it shows the affinity of the Ab for mouse and human PD-L1 expressed at the cell membrane on 293-transfected cells.

[0560]Human and mouse PD-L1 were stably transfected into 293 cells. Cells were harvested and plated at 150,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate for binding studies.

[0561]Rhesus blood was obtained from Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (San Antonio, Tex.). Blood was diluted with an equal volume of PBS and overlayed on 96% Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) for separation of mononuclear cells. Mononuclear cells were lysed of red blood cells using erythrocyte lysis buffer (Qiagen) and cultured overnight at 1.5×106 cells / ml with 5 ng / ml PMA plus 1 μM ionomycin in 6-well plates. Culture media was RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2...

Abstract

The present application relates to methods of using anti-PD-L1 antibodies to enhance T-cell function to upregulate cell-mediated immune responses and for the treatment of T cell dysfunctional disorders, including infection (e.g., acute and chronic) and tumor immunity.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a division of U.S. Ser. No. 12 / 633,339, filed 8 Dec. 2009, now allowed, which claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 121,092, filed 9 Dec. 2008, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to immune function and to enhancing T-cell function, including the upregulation of cell-mediated immune responses and to the treatment of T cell dysfunctional disorders.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Co-stimulation or the provision of two distinct signals to T-cells is a widely accepted model of lymphocyte activation of resting T lymphocytes by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Lafferty et al., Aust. J. Exp. Biol. Med. Sci. 53: 27-42 (1975). This model further provides for the discrimination of self from non-self and immune tolerance. Bretscher et al., Science 169: 1042-1049 (1970); Bretscher, P. A., P.N.A...
