[0007] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present application relates to the field of biomedicine, and specifically to a TL1 A antigen-binding protein.

[0009] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0010] TL1 A is encoded by the TNFSF15 gene and is also known as vascular growth inhibitory factor (VEGI), a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand superfamily.TLl A is a type II transmembrane protein.TLl Ais initially expressed on the surface of the cell as a membranebound protein, and then is sheared by extracellular matrix metalloproteinases to form a soluble form of TLlA.lt has been shown that TL1 Ais mainly expressed in antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes, as well as endothelial cells and fibroblasts stimulated by inflammatory factors. TL1A is mainly expressed in antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes, as well as Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC endothelial cells and fibroblasts stimulated by inflammatory factors. TL1A induces the activation of downstream NF-KB and MAPK cascade (e.g., ERK, p38, JNK) signaling pathways by binding to and activating its receptor DR3, which regulates the cell proliferation, survival, or apoptosis of the cells. TL1A-DR3 signaling plays an important role in the regulation of the immune system. The TL1A-DR3 signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of the immune system, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1) synergistically promoting Thl activation and cytokine secretion. Under the condition of TCR activation, TL1 A can induce the production and secretion of proinflammatory factors, mainly including: IFN-y, GM-CSF, TNF-cr, etc. It can also synergize with IL12 / IL18 factors to promote IFN-y production by T cells, and the effect is not dependent on the presence of antigen.2) Synergistically promoting Th2 activation, sustained overexpression of TLlAin T or DC cells in mice produces an intestinal inflammation that is dependent on the Th2 cytokine IL13.In addition, TL1A also promotes Th2 immune responses and allergen-specific antibody production in a mouse model of asthma.3) Synergistically promotes the proliferation and activation of Thl7-type cells, and inhibition of TLlA helps to alleviate the symptoms of DSS- induced intestinal inflammation in mice.4) TL1 A also promotes the activation and cell-killing capacity of NK and NKT cells.5) TL1A also promotes the activation and cell-killing capacity of NK and NKT cells.6) TL1 A also promotes the activation of NK and NKT cells.

[0011] Antibodies targeting inhibition of TLlA have entered clinical trials and achieved positive therapeutic effects in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and still have some efficacy in patients with resistance to or relapse of frontline biologies, but as of now, all kinds of drugs targeting inhibition of TLI A are still in the clinical stage, and there are no drugs on the market. For example, the results of phase II clinical trial of PRA023 / MK7240 for Crohn's disease showed that 49% of patients achieved clinical remission and 26% of patients achieved endoscopic remission; while the results of phase II clinical trial of PRA023 / MK7240 for ulcerative colitis showed that 26.5% of patients achieved clinical remission and 36.8% of patients achieved endoscopic remission. Similar therapeutic effects were also seen in the Phase II clinical trial of RVT-3 I0I / RG663 I. Overall, monoclonal antibodies targeting TLI A Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC inhibition have shown positive therapeutic effects in re-inflammatory bowel disease, but only a fraction of patients have achieved clinical benefit, and the overall efficacy needs to be further improved.

[0012] Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on the cell surface that have important functions in immune cell proliferation, signaling, and cell migration by mediating cell-cell interactions. Integrins are heterodimers consisting of an a-subunit and a P- subunit .Integrin a4p7, a heterodimer of a4 and P7 subunits, is mainly expressed in memory T cells and memory B cells, and is important for the localization and migration of immune cells to intestinal mucosal tissues. a4p7 mediates the migration of immune cells by interacting with its ligand, MAdCAM-1, which is mainly expressed in the vascular endothelial cells of the small intestine. Currently, vedolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting inhibition of a4p7, is approved and marketed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In ulcerative colitis, vedolizumab resulted in better clinical response and disease remission in 21% of patients after 6 weeks of treatment and in 42% of patients after extending treatment to 52 weeks. In contrast, in Crohn's disease, Vedolizumab treatment for 6 weeks resulted in a better response and disease remission in 15% of patients, and after extending treatment to 52 weeks, a better clinical response and disease remission was achieved in 39% of patients.

[0013] Over the past two decades, biomolecules represented by vedolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting integrin a4p7, have achieved remarkable efficacy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, driving new breakthroughs in clinical remission rates in ulcerative colitis. However, most current treatments have 1-year clinical remission rates between 30% and 50%, and more than 50% of patients still have inadequate clinical response, suggesting that the therapeutic ceiling may have been reached through the use of a single agent. In addition, there is still a huge unmet clinical need for effective yet safe therapeutic agents for patients with moderate-to-severe disease, and newer drug development is urgently needed to improve treatment outcomes. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0014] Ulcerative colitis is the result of multiple pathways driving immune-mediated inflammatory processes, and drugs that are effective in intestinal disease may be ineffective in extraintestinal manifestations or concomitant immune-mediated inflammatory disease. With this in mind, the concept of combination therapy based on the use of two biologies may be a promising strategy for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis, patients at high risk of developing complications, or patients with concomitant uncontrolled immune-mediated inflammatory disease. This strategy is currently being applied in real-world treatment with good results.2022 A systematic review and meta-analysis of combination therapy published in 2022 (Ahmed, W., et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2022) showed that in 279 patients who received combination therapy in a total of 30 included studies. Clinical remission and endoscopic remission rates reached 59% and 34%, respectively. This included 81% of patients with refractory ulcerative colitis and 12% of patients with ulcerative colitis complicated by extraintestinal manifestations or rheumatologic disease. The most common combinations in the treatment regimen included anti-integrin monoclonal antibody + anti-TNF-a monoclonal antibody (48%) and anti-integrin monoclonal antibody + Ustekinumab (19%).

The term “antibody” may include monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, or antibody derivatives, including, but not limited to, murine antibodies, human antibodies (fully human antibodies), humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, single chain antibodies (e.g., scFv), and antibody fragments that bind to an antigen (e.g., Fab, Fab ' , and (Fab)2 fragments). The term “antibody” may also include all recombinant forms of antibodies, such as antibodies expressed in prokaryotic cells, non-glycosylated antibodies, and any antigen-binding antibody fragments and derivatives thereof described herein. Each heavy chain may be composed of a heavy chain variable region and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain may be composed of a light chain variable region and a light chain constant region. The VH and VL regions can be further distinguished as hypervariable regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL may be composed of three CDRs and four FRs, which may be arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with an antigen. The constant region of an antibody can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component of the classical complement system (Clq). The exact boundaries of the CDRs have been defined differently Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC for different systems. The system described by Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987) and (1991)) provides not only an unambiguous residue numbering system applicable to any variable region of an antigen-binding fragment, but also provides precise residue boundaries defining CDRs. These CDRs may be referred to as Kabat CDRs. Chothia and co-workers (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917(1987) and Chothia et al., Nature 342: 877-883(1989)) found that certain sub-portions within Kabat CDRs adopt nearly identical conformations in the backbone of a peptide despite the large diversity at the amino acid sequence level. These sub-portions are designated as LI, L2, and L3 or Hl, H2, and H3, where “L” and “H” refer to the light chain and heavy chain regions, respectively. These regions may be referred to as Chothia CDRs, which have boundaries that overlap with Kabat CDRs. Other boundaries that define CDRs and overlap with Kabat CDRs have been described by Padlan (FASEB J. 9: 133-139 (1995)) and MacCallum (J Mol Biol 262(5): 732-45(1996)). In addition, other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly follow one of the above systems, but will still overlap with Kabat CDRs, although they may be shortened or lengthened in light of prediction or experimental findings that a particular residue or group of residues or even the entire CDRs, do not significantly affect the antigen binding. In the present application, said CDR may be defined through the Kabat numbering system.

[0480] In the present application, the term “antigen-binding fragment” generally refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that function to specifically bind to an antigen. The antigenbinding function of an antibody can be achieved by a full-length fragment of the antibody. The antigen-binding function of an antibody may also be achieved by: a heavy chain comprising a fragment of Fv, scFv, dsFv, Fab, Fab ' or F (ab ' )2, or a light chain comprising a fragment of Fv, scFv, dsFv, Fab, Fab ' , or F(ab ' )2. (1) An Fab fragment, i.e., a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH domains; (2) an F(ab ' )2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bond at the hinge region; (3) an Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH domains; (4) an Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (5) a dAb fragment consisting of VH domains Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0481] (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341 : 544-546); (6) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR), and (7) a combination of two or more isolated CDRs which may optionally be joined by a linker. For example, monovalent single chain molecules Fv (scFv) formed by the pairing of VL and VH may also be included (see, Bird et al., (1988) Science 242: 423-426; and Huston et al., (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 85: 5879-5883). For example, a class of antibody VHH lacking the antibody light chain but only the heavy chain variable region can also be included (see, e.g., Kang Xiaozhen et al., Chinese Journal of Biotechnology, 2018, 34 (12): 1974-1984). The “antigen-binding portion” may also include an immunoglobulin fusion protein comprising a binding domain selected from the group consisting of: (1) a binding domain polypeptide fused to an immunoglobulin hinge region polypeptide; (2) an immunoglobulin heavy chain CH2 constant region fused to the hinge region; and (3) an immunoglobulin heavy chain CH3 constant region fused to the CH2 constant region.

[0482] The basic 4-chain antibody unit is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains. IgM antibodies consist of 5 basic heterotetrameric units and another polypeptide called the J chain and contain 10 antigen binding sites, while IgA antibodies consist of 2-5 basic 4-chain units, which can polymerize to form a multivalent assembly bound to the J chain. In the case of IgG, the 4-chain unit is usually about 150,000 Daltons. Each L chain is linked to the H chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the two H chains are linked to each other by one or more disulfide bonds, depending on the isotype of the H chain. Each H and L chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each H chain has a variable domain (VH) at the N-terminus, followed by three constant domains (CH) in each a and y chain, and four CH domains in the p and a isotypes. Each L chain has a variable domain (VL) at the N-terminus and then a constant domain at the other end. VL is aligned with VH, and CL is aligned with the first constant region (CHI) of the heavy chain. Specific amino acid residues are believed to form an interface between the light chain variable domain and the heavy chain variable domain. The pairing of VH and VL together forms a single antigen binding site. For the structure and properties of different classes of antibodies, see, for example, Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th edition, Daniel P. Sties, Abba Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0483] I. Terr and Tristram G. Parsolw (eds.), Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, Conn., 1994, page 71 and Chapter 6. The L chains of any vertebrate species can be divided into two clearly distinct types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequence of their constant regions. Immunoglobulins can be divided into different classes or isotypes based on the amino acid sequence of their heavy chain constant domain (CH). There are five classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, with heavy chains designated a, 5, a, y, and p, respectively. Based on relatively minor differences in the sequence and function of CH, the gamma and alpha classes are further divided into subclasses, for example, humans express the following subclasses: IgGl, IgG2A, IgG2B, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgKl.

[0484] In the present application, the term “monoclonal antibody” generally refers to a population of substantially homologous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. For example, the monoclonal antibodies can be prepared by hybridoma techniques or can be produced in bacteria, eukaryotic animal or plant cells using recombinant DNA methods, or can be derived from phage antibody libraries using the techniques, for example, described in Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) and Marks et al., Mol. Biol., 222:581-597 (1991).

[0485] In the present application, the term “chimeric antibody” generally refers to an antibody in which a portion of the amino acid sequence of each heavy or light chain is homologous to the corresponding amino acid sequence in an antibody from a particular species, or belongs to a particular class, while the remaining segments of the chain are homologous to the corresponding sequence in another species. For example, the variable regions of both the light and heavy chains are derived from the variable region of an antibody of one animal species (e.g., mouse, rat, etc.), while the constant portions are homologous to antibody sequences from another species (e.g., human). For example, to obtain chimeric antibodies, non-human-derived B cells or hybridoma cells can be used to generate variable regions, while which the constant regions in combination therewith are of human origin. The variable region has the advantage Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC of being easy to prepare and its specificity is not influenced by the origin of the constant region with which it is combined. Also, since the constant region of the chimeric antibody can be derived from human, the chimeric antibodies are less likely to elicit an immune response upon injection than using antibodies whose constant regions are of non-human origin.

[0486] In the present application, the term “humanized antibody” generally refers to a chimeric antibody that contains fewer sequences from non-human immunoglobulins, thereby reducing the immunogenicity of a xenogenous antibody when introduced into humans, while maintaining the full antigen-binding affinity and specificity of the antibody. For example, non- human binding domains can be humanized using the technical means, such as CDR transplantion (Jones et al., Nature 321 :522(1986)) and variants thereof; including “reshaping”, (Verhoeyen, et al., 1988 Science 239: 1534-1536; Riechmann, et al., 1988 Nature 332:323-337; Tempest, et al., Bio / Technol 1991 9:266-271), “hyperchimerization” (Queen, et al., 1989 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86: 10029-10033; Co, et al., 1991 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 88:2869-2873; Co, et al., 1992 J Immunol 148: 1149-1154), and “veneering” (Mark, et al., “Derivation of therapeutically active humanized and veneered anti-CD18 antibodies.” In: Metcalf B W, Dalton B J, eds. Cellular adhesion: molecular definition to therapeutic potential. New York: Plenum Press, 1994: 291-312), and resurfacing (U.S. Pat. No. 5,639,641). Other regions, such as hinge and constant region domains, may also be humanized if they are also derived from non-human sources.

[0487] In the present application, the term “murine antibody” generally refers to an antibody in which the variable region framework and CDR regions are derived from mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences. In addition, if the antibody comprises constant regions, which are also derived from mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences. The murine antibodies of the present application may comprise amino acid residues not encoded by the mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences, such as mutations introduced by random or point mutations in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo.

[0488] In the present application, the term "directly linked" is used in contrast to the term indirect linked", which usually means a direct connection. For example, said direct connection Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC may be a direct connection between substances without spacers. Said spacer may be a linker. For example, said linker may be a peptide linker. The term "indirect linkage" generally refers to the case where there is no direct linkage between substances. For example, said indirect linkage may be a linkage through a spacer. For example, in the isolated antigen-binding proteins described in the present application, the C-terminal end of said L-FR1 and the N- terminal end of said LCDR1 may be directly or indirectly linked.

[0489] In this application, the term "TL1A" refers to TNF-like protein 1A. TL1A (TNFSF15) is a member of the TNF family that is expressed predominantly by endothelial cells, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Its expression is induced by immune complexes (ICs) and cytokines. TL1 A receptor DR3 is expressed mainly on T cells and NKT cells. In vitro, TL1A has been shown to enhance T cell proliferation and cytokine production in both humans and mice. In vivo, TL1 A transgenic mice produce an IBD phenotype similar to human Crohn's disease. In addition, treatment with recombinant TL1 A protein exacerbated colitis in mdrl- / - mice. The TL1 A described in this application may be a monomer or trimer of TLlA.The TL1A described in this application can be a human, mouse or monkey TL1 A.

[0490] The cell surface molecule "a4p7 integrin" or "a4p7" is a heterodimer formed by the a4 chain (CD49D, ITGA4) and the P7 chain (ITGB7). a4 and P7 chains also form a heterodimer a4pi or aEp7 with the alternative integrin chains pi or aE, respectively. aE to form a heterodimer a4pi or aEp7. human a4 and P7 genes (GenBank (National Center for Biotechnology Information, Bethesda, MD) RefSeq Nos. NM_000885 and NM_000889, respectively) by B and T lymphocytes, especially memory CD4+ lymphocytes. As typical of many integrins, a4p7 can exist in either a quiescent or activated state, ligands for a4p7 include vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), fibronectin, and mucosal addressin (MAdCAM (e.g., MAdCAM-1)). The a4p7 described in the present application may be human, murine or monkey a4p7.

[0491] In this application, the term "scFv" generally refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one antibody fragment comprising a light chain variable region and at least one antibody fragment comprising a heavy chain variable region, wherein said light chain and heavy chain Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC variable regions are adjacent (e.g., via synthetic junctions, such as short flexible peptide junctions) and are capable of being expressed as a single-chain polypeptide, and said scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it is derived. Unless specifically stated, as used in this application, an scFv may have said VL and VH variable regions in any order (e.g., relative to the N-terminus and the C-terminus of the polypeptide), and an scFv may comprise a VL-linker-VH or may comprise a VH-linker-VL.

[0492] In this application, the terms "specific binding" or "specific" generally refer to measurable and reproducible interactions, such as binding between a target and an antibody, that may determine the presence of a target in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules, including biomolecules. For example, an antibody that specifically binds a target (which may be an epitope) may be an antibody that binds that target with greater affinity, affinity, more readily, and / or for a greater duration than it binds other targets. In some embodiments, the antibody specifically binds an epitope on a protein, said epitope being conserved across different species of proteins. In certain embodiments, specific binding may include, but is not required to exclusively bind.

[0494] The term “functional variant” refers to an amino acid sequence that is substantially identical to a naturally occurring sequence or a polypeptide encoded by a substantially identical nucleotide sequence and capable of having one or more activities of the naturally occurring sequence. In the context of the present application, a variant of any given sequence refers to a sequence in which the particular sequence of residues, whether amino acid or nucleotide residues, has been modified such that the polypeptide or polynucleotide substantially retains at least one endogenous function. Variant sequences may be obtained by the addition, deletion, substitution, modification, substitution and / or variation of at least one amino acid residue and / or nucleotide residue present in a naturally occurring protein and / or polynucleotide, so long as the original functional activity is retained. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0495] In the present application, the term “derivative” generally refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide of the present application comprising any substitution, variation, modification, replacement, deletion and / or addition of one (or more) amino acid residues from / on the sequence, so long as the resulting polypeptide or polynucleotide substantially retains at least one of its endogenous functions.

[0497] Generally, amino acid substitutions, e.g., at least one (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 20 or more) amino acid substitution can be made, so long as the modified sequence substantially retains the desired activity or ability. Amino acid substitutions can include the use of non-naturally occurring analogs.

[0498] In the present application, the term “homologue” generally refers to an amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence having certain homology to a naturally occurring sequence. The term “homology” can be equivalent to sequence “identity”. Homologous sequences may include amino acid sequences that may be at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, or 99.9% identical to the subject sequence. Typically, the homologue will comprise the same active site or the like as the subject amino acid sequence. Homology may be considered in terms of similarity (i.e., amino acid residues having similar chemical properties / functions) or may be expressed in terms of sequence identity. In the present application, a sequence having percent identity in any one of the SEQ ID NO of a mentioned amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence refers to a sequence having the percent identity over the entire length of the mentioned SEQ ID NO. To determine sequence identity, sequence alignments may be performed by a variety of ways known to those skilled in the art, e.g., using BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, NEEDLE, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate parameters for the alignment, including any algorithm required to achieve the optimal alignment over the full length of the sequence being compared. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0499] The proteins or polypeptides used in the present application may also have deletions, insertions, or substitutions of amino acid residues which produce silent changes and result in functionally equivalent proteins. Intentional amino acid substitutions may be made on the basis of similarity in polarity, charge, solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and / or amphipathic nature of the residues, so long as the endogenous function is retained. For example, negatively charged amino acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid; positively charged amino acids include lysine and arginine; and amino acids containing uncharged polar head groups with similar hydrophilicity values include asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, and tyrosine.

[0500] In the present application, the term “immunoconjugate” generally refers to a conjugate formed by the conjugation of other agents (e.g., a chemotherapeutic agent, a radioactive element, a cytostatic agent, and a cytotoxic agent) to The isolated antigen-binding protein (e.g., via covalent attachment of a linking molecule), wherein the conjugate can deliver the other agents to a target cell (e.g., a tumor cell) via specific binding of The isolated antigen-binding protein to an antigen on the target cell. The immunoconjugate then undergoes such internalization and eventually enters the interior of the target cell (e.g., into vesicles such as a lysosome), at which point the linker molecule in the immunoconjugate can be cleaved to release the other agent, thereby exerting its cytotoxic effect. In addition, the antigen may also be secreted by the target cell and located in the space outside the target cell.

[0501] In the present application, the term “subject” generally refers to human or non-human animals, including, but not limited to, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, cows, caprid, rabbits, mice, rats, or monkeys.

[0502] In the present application, the term “nucleic acid molecule” generally refers to an isolated form of nucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, or ribonucleotides or analogs thereof, of any length, isolated from their natural environment or artificially synthesized.

The vector can transfer the inserted nucleic acid molecule into and / or between cells. The vector may include a vector for primarily inserting DNA or RNA into a cell, a vector for primarily replicating DNA or RNA, and a vector for Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC primarily expressing transcription and / or translation of DNA or RNA. The vector can be a polynucleotide capable of being transcribed and translated into a polypeptide when introduced into an appropriate cell. In general, the vector may produce the desired expression product by culturing an appropriate cell containing the vector. In the present application, the vector may include a lentiviral vector.

[0504] In the present application, the term “cell” generally refers to an individual cell, cell line or cell culture that may or may already contain a plasmid or vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule as described herein, or that is capable of expressing a polypeptide as described herein or an antigen-binding protein as described herein. The cell may include the progeny of a single cell. Due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutations, the progeny cells may not necessarily be identical in morphology or in genome to the original parent cell, but are capable of expressing the polypeptide or antigen-binding protein as described herein. The cells can be obtained by transfecting cells in vitro with the vectors as described herein. The cells may be prokaryotic cells (e.g., E. coli) or eukaryotic cells (e.g., yeast cell, COS cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, HEK293 cells, COS-1 cells, NSO cells, or myeloma cells). In some embodiments, the cells may be immune cells. For example, the immune cell may be selected from the group consisting of T cells, B cells, natural killer cells (NK cells), macrophages, NKT cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, leukocytes and / or peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

[0505] In the present application, the term “treatment” generally refers to: (i) the prevention of the development of a disease, disorder, and / or condition in a patient who may be susceptible to, but has not yet been diagnosed with, that disease, disorder, or condition; (ii) the suppression of the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., the curb of the development; and (iii) remission of the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, and / or condition and / or symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, and / or condition.

[0506] In the present application, the terms “polypeptide”, “peptide”, and “protein” are used interchangeably and generally refer to a polymer of amino acids of any length. The polymer may be linear or branched, and may comprise modified amino acids and it may be interrupted Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC by non-amino acids. These terms also encompass amino acid polymers that have been modified. These modifications may comprise: disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation (e.g., binding to a labeling component). The term “amino acid” includes natural and / or non-natural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine as well as the D and L optical isomers, as well as amino acid analogs and peptidomimetics.

[0507] In the present application, the terms “polynucleotide”, “nucleotide”, “nucleotide sequence”, “nucleic acid”, and “oligonucleotide” are used interchangeably and refer generally to polymeric forms of nucleotides of any length, such as deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. A polynucleotide may have any three-dimensional structure and may perform any function that is known or unknown. Non-limiting examples of polynucleotides are as follows: a coding or noncoding region of a gene or gene fragment, a plurality of loci (one locus) as defined by ligation analysis, exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transport RNA, ribosomal RNA, short interfering RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, isolated RNA of any sequence, nucleic acid probes, and primers. A polynucleotide may comprise one or more modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. If present, modification of the nucleotide structure may be performed before or after assembly of the polymer. The sequence of nucleotides may be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. The polynucleotides may be further modified after polymerization, e.g., by conjugation to labeled components.

[0508] In the present application, the term “KD” (likewise, “KD” or “KD”) generally refers to an “affinity constant” or an “equilibrium dissociation constant” and refers to a value obtained at equilibrium in a titration measurement, or by dividing the dissociation rate constant (kd) by the binding rate constant (ka). The binding affinity of a binding protein (e.g., an isolated antigenbinding protein as described herein) for an antigen is expressed using an association rate constant (ka), a dissociation rate constant (kd), and an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0509] Methods for determining association and dissociation rate constants are well known in the art. The use of fluorescence-based techniques provides high sensitivity and the ability to examine samples at equilibrium in physiological buffers. For example, the KD value can be determined by Octet assay, and other experimental approaches and instruments such as BIAcore (Biomolecular Interaction Analysis) can be used (e.g., instruments available from BIAcorelnternationalAB, aGEHealthcarecompany, Uppsala, Sweden). Alternatively, the KD value can be determined using KinExA (dynamic exclusion assay (KineticExclusi on Assay)) available from Sapidynelnstruments (Boise, Idaho) or using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument.

[0510] In the present application, the term "IC50 value" or the term "half-maximal inhibitory concentration" (IC50) indicates the concentration of a particular compound that is required to achieve 50% inhibition of a biological process in vitro. The IC50 value can be logarithmically converted to a pIC50 value (-log IC50), where higher values indicate exponentially greater potency. The IC50 value is not an absolute value, but rather depends on experimental conditions, such as the concentration used. The IC50 value can be converted to an absolute inhibitory constant (Ki) using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Biochem. Pharmacol. (1973) 22:3099).

[0511] The term "EC50", in the context of in vitro or in vivo analyses using isolated antigenbinding fragments, refers to the concentration of the antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof when the induced response is 50% of the maximal response, i.e., halfway between the maximal response and the baseline.

[0512] The terms "a4p7 inhibitor" and "a4p7 antagonist" are used interchangeably. Each is a molecule that detectably inhibits at least one function of a4p7. Conversely, an "a4p7 agonist" is a molecule that detectably enhances at least one function of a4p7.The inhibition caused by the a4p7 inhibitor need not be complete, as long as it is detectable by, for example, employing an assay. Any assay of a4p7 function may be employed, examples of which are provided herein. Examples of a4p7 functions that can be inhibited by a4p7 inhibitors (or enhanced by a4p7 agonists) include ligand binding (i.e., binding to MAdCAM-1), adhesion to cells expressing the ligand, transport to specific compartments (e.g., intestines), release of cytokines, Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC chemokines, and other mediators, exacerbation or worsening of inflammatory responses and tissue damage, and the like. a4p7 inhibitors and a4p7 agonists of the Examples of types include, but are not limited to, a4p7-binding polypeptides, such as antigen-binding proteins (e.g., a4p7 antigen-binding proteins), antibodies, antibody fragments, and antibody derivatives.

[0513] The terms "TL1A inhibitor" and "TL1A antagonist" are used interchangeably. Each is a molecule that detectably inhibits at least one function of TL1 A. Conversely, a "TL1A agonist" is a molecule that detectably enhances at least one function of TLlA.The inhibition caused by the TL1 A inhibitor need not be complete, as long as it is detectable by, for example, using an assay. Any assay for a4p7 function may be employed, examples of which are provided herein. Examples of functions of TL1 Athat can be inhibited by TL1 A inhibitors (or enhanced by TL1 A agonists) include ligand binding (i.e., binding to MAdCAM-1), adhesion to cells expressing the ligand, transport to specific compartments (e.g., intestines), release of cytokines, chemokines, and other mediators, exacerbation or worsening of inflammatory responses and tissue damage, and the like. The TL1 A inhibitors and the TL1 A agonists of the Examples of types include, but are not limited to, TLlA-binding polypeptides, such as antigen-binding proteins (e.g., TL1 A antigen-binding proteins), antibodies, antibody fragments, and antibody derivatives.

[0514] The term "endocytosis" or “internalization” usually refers to the process by which the cell membrane transfers substances from outside the cell into the cell through deformation movements. Said endocytosis may involve both phagocytosis and cytotoxicity. For example, the cell may be depressed to form "vesicles" that encapsulates said macromolecules (e.g., proteins), but then detach from the cell membrane and enter the cell interior.

[0515] The degree of degradation by endocytosis can be evaluated by means of an "endocytosis degradation rate". For a cell-derived macromolecule (e.g., a soluble protein) interacting with a cell, the "endocytosis degradation rate" of said macromolecule may refer to the amount of said macromolecule that enters the cell via said endocytosis as a percentage of the total amount of said macromolecule interacting with said cell (which may generally be the sum of the amount endocytosed and the amount bound to the surface of said cell and the amount of said Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC macromolecule bound to the surface of said cell). (generally the total amount can be the sum of the amount endocytosed and the amount bound to the surface of said cell) as a proportion (usually expressed as a percentage) of the total amount of said macromolecule interacting with said cell. For a macromolecule on the surface of a cell membrane (e.g. a membrane protein on said cell), said "endocytosis degradation rate" of a macromolecule may refer to the ratio of the amount of said macromolecule which enters the cell via said endocytosis and is degraded to the total amount of said macromolecule on said cell (which generally may be the sum of the amount endocytosed and the amount of the macromolecule which is endocytosed and degraded). (generally the total amount can be the sum of the amount degraded by endocytosis and the amount remaining on the surface of the cell membrane after endocytosis; or it can also be expressed as the total amount on the surface of the cell membrane in the absence of endocytotic degradation), which is usually expressed as a percentage.)

[0516] As used herein, the term "epitope" or "antigenic determinant cluster" generally refers to a site on an antigen to which an antibody binds. Epitopes may be formed from contiguous amino acids (linear epitopes) or discontinuous amino acids (conformational epitopes) adjacent to each other by tertiary folding of the protein. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids are typically retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding are typically lost upon treatment with denaturing solvents. Epitopes typically include at least 3, and more typically at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Methods for determining the spatial conformation of epitopes include, for example, x-ray crystallography and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. See, e.g., Epitope Mapping Protocols in Methods in Molecular Biology, vol. 66, edited by Glenn E. Morris (1996).

[0517] As used herein, the term "conformational epitope" generally refers to non-contiguous amino acid residues of an antigen (such as the PD-L1 antigen) that are adjacent to the protein by tertiary folding. These non-contiguous amino acid residues may converge on the surface when the polypeptide chain folds to form a natural protein. Conformational epitopes include, but are not limited to, functional epitopes. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0518] As used herein, the term "cross-linking" refers to the process by which an antigen-binding protein binds to more than one antigen at the same time, or an antigen binds to more than one antigen-binding protein at the same time. For example, RVT-3101 (Analogue) monoclonal antibody binds to huTLIA-his antigen, which can be seen as three monoclonal antibodies bound to a single TL1 A trimer, i.e., a 1 Ag (Ag represents the antigen) + 3 Ab (Ab represents the antibody) complex. tla0015-ll monoclonal antibody binds to the huTLIA-his antigen, which results in the formation of a multiple-antigen binding protein that binds to a number of antigen-binding proteins cross-linked complexes.

[0519] As used herein, the term "functional epitope" generally refers to the amino acid residues of an antigen that actively contributes to the binding of an antibody, i.e., form an "active epitope." Mutation of any active promoting residue of the antigen to alanine will destroy the binding of the antibody, so that the relative KD ratio of the antibody (KD mutant / KD wild type) can be, for example, greater than 2 times, such as greater than 3 times, greater than 4 times, greater than 6 times , greater than 10 times, greater than 20 times, greater than 30 times, greater than 40 times, greater than 50 times, greater than 60 times, greater than 70 times, greater than 80 times, greater than 90 times, greater than 100 times, greater than 150 times, greater than 200 times or more.

[0520] In the present application, the term “and / or” should be understood as meaning any one of the alternatives or both of the alternatives.

[0521] In the present application, the term “comprising” or “containing” generally refers to the inclusion of explicitly specified features, but not excluding other elements. In certain instances, “comprising” or “contain” also encompasses the inclusion of only the specified components.

[0522] In the present application, the term “about” generally refers to a range from 0.5% to 10% above or below the specified value, for example, a range of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10% above orbelow the specified value. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0523] In the present application, the term “including” generally means comprising, summing up, encompassing or covering. In certain instances, the meaning of “being”, “consisting of . . . ” is also indicated.

[0871] Example 13 Detection of bispecific antibody blockade of MAdCAM-l-mediated cell adhesion

[0872] The blocking ability of MAdCAM-1 -mediated cell adhesion function mediated by multiple bispecific antibodies prepared by example 1-3 was detected based on CTG bioluminescence detection technology, and its blocking ability was determined by comparing the curves of different antibody concentrations blocking MAdCAM-1 -mediated adhesion of Hut 78 cells.

[0873] In this experiment, Hut 78 cells endogenously expressing a4p7 were used as target cells. MAdCAM-1 -Fc protein was diluted to 2 pg / ml in PBS at 100 pl / well and added to a 96-well plate and coated overnight at 4 °C. Remove the coating solution and incubate at 200pl / well with 5% BSA blocking solution for 2 h at room temperature. At the end of the incubation, remove the blocking solution and wash three times with PBST wash at 250 pl / well and pat dry for later use. Dilute cultured Hut 78 cells to 3E5 / ml, 100 pl / ml with FACS buffer (DPBS+1% BSA+1 mM MnC12). The wells were plated into a 96-well cell plate, and the supernatant was discarded by centrifugation at 450 g for 5 min; At the same time, dilute the antibody to 100 nM with FACS buffer, dilute 4-fold to form 12 concentration gradients, add to a 96-well cell plate, 100 pl / well, resuspend the cells, and then transfer to a coated microplate plate, incubate in a cell culture incubator for 40 min, centrifuge at 450g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, wash the cells five times with FACS buffer, and then add CTG (Vazyme, Cat#DDl 101-02), 50pl / wells, microplate reader for reading. Analyze the data with GraphPad, graph it, and calculate the EC50. As shown in Figure 14, TLb0045, TLb0065, and TLb0081 bispecific antibodies all have a good blockade of MAdCAM-1 -mediated cell adhesion function, as shown in Figure 12. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0874] At the same time as the cell adhesion experiment, TL1 A protein was added and incubated with bispecific antibody and Hut 78 cells to verify the effect of TL1A protein on the cell adhesion function of bispecific antibody blockade. As shown in Figure 15, the addition of TL1A protein had little effect on the blockade of MAdCAM-1 -mediated cell adhesion by bispecific antibodies.

[0875] Example 14 Detection of the internalization activity of the bispecific antibody

[0876] The method based on pH Dye is used to detect the internalization activity of a plurality of bispecific antibodies prepared by example 1-3 of the present invention. The internalization capacity of bispecific antibodies is determined by comparing the internalization signal curves of different concentrations.

[0877] Antibody pH Dye labeling: antibodies were labeled using pHAb Amine Reactive Dye (Promega, Cat#G9845) reagent. Take 120 pg of the antibody to be labeled and add it to a 30 kDa protein concentrate tube, then add 400 pl of 10 mM sodium bicarbonate buffer (pH 8.5), centrifuge at 7500 rpm for 5 min, repeat the above steps twice (total 3 changes), centrifuge to a volume of about 100 pl; transfer the antibody to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. Add 1 pl of pHAb Amine Reactive Dye solution to each tube, mix thoroughly, and shake the reaction at low speed for 60 minutes at room temperature and away from light; transfer the antibody to a 30 kDa protein concentrate tube, add 400 pl of PBS, centrifuge at 7500 rpm for 5 minutes, and repeat the above steps for 4 times (totaling 5 changes of solution); centrifuge until the volume of the solution is about 100 pl, and then transfer the antibody to a 30 kDa protein concentrate tube. Transfer the antibody to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, keep it away from light, test the absorbance of A280 and A532 of the labeled antibody, calculate the concentration of the labeled antibody, and set aside.

[0878] The cultured Hut 78 cells were centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, resuspended in freshly prepared RPMH640 medium, the cell density was adjusted to 2E6 / mL, and the cell density was adjusted to a 96-well low-adsorption U bottom plate, a volume of 50pl was added to each well, and the bispecific antibody and the positive control antibody were diluted to 66 nM with RPMH640 medium. Dilute 11 gradients (maximum final Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC concentration 33 nM) in 3-fold steps, 50pl / well, add to a 96-well plate, mix well with Hut 78 cells, and place in a 37°C incubator for incubation. The cell plates incubated for 6 h and 24 h were removed, centrifuged at 450 g for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, 200 pl of FACS buffer was added to each well, 450 g was centrifuged for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the step was repeated. Prepare Live / Dead dye (Invitrogen, CAT#L34976) at a ratio of 1 : 1,000, add 100 pl per well, and incubate at 4 °C for 30 min. After the end of the incubation, centrifuge at 450 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, repeat this step twice, resuspend the cells with 100 pl FACS buffer, and detect the PE channel by flow cytometry. Analyze the data with GraphPad, graph it, and calculate the EC50. The 6-hour internalization is shown in Figure 16A, and the 24-hour internalization result is shown in Figure 16B, and the bispecific antibodies have good internalization activity.

[0879] In addition, during the incubation of the internalization experimental antibody with Hut 78 cells, 10 nM TL1A protein was added to verify the effect of TL1A protein on the internalization activity of the bispecific antibody, the internalization results of 6 hours are shown in Figure 17A, and the results of internalization in 24 hours are shown in Figure 17B, and the internalization activity of the bispecific antibody TLb0045 and TLb0065 can be significantly improved after the addition of TL1 A protein. The results of the endocytic activity of the bispecific antibody TLb0045-l on Hut 78 cells are shown in Figure 17C. The addition of TL1 A protein significantly enhanced the endocytic activity of TLb0045-l. Using healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, Pan T cells were sorted and tested for the endocytic activity of the bispecific antibody on T cells. The results of the endocytic activity of the bispecific antibody TLb0045-l on primary T cells are shown in Figure 17D. Consistent with the endocytic results on Hut 78 cells, the addition of TL1 A protein significantly enhanced the endocytic activity of TLb0045-l. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0880] Example 15 Detection of bispecific antibody endocytosis downregulation of «4p7 expression

[0881] Based on flow cytometry assay, the effect of internalization of a plurality of bispecific antibodies prepared by example 1-3 of the present invention on the cell membrane and the total a4p7 expression of cells is detected.

[0882] Cultured Hut 78 cells were centrifuged at 450 g for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, resuspended in freshly prepared RPMI1640 medium, the cell density was adjusted to 4E6 / mL, and added to a 96-well low-adsorption U bottom plate, with a volume of 25pl per well. Dilute pH Dye-labeled bispecific antibody and positive control antibody to 10 nM in RPMH640 medium, 50pl / well and add to a 96-well plate. TL1A protein was diluted to 40 nM with RPMH640 medium and 25pl / well was added to the 96-well plate described above; For wells that do not require TL1 A protein, add 25pl of RPMH640 medium, mix well with Hut 78 cells, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 16 hours (three 96-well plates, one for internalization activity, another for a4p7 expression on the membrane, and the last for total a4p7 expression).

[0883] Internalization activity assay: After the end of incubation, the first cell plate was removed, 450g centrifuged for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, 200pl FACS Buffer was added to each well, 450g centrifuged for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, and the step was repeated. Configure the Live / Dead dye at a ratio of 1 : 1,000, add 100 pl per well, and incubate at 4 °C for 30 min. After the end of incubation, centrifuge at 450 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, repeat this step twice, resuspend the cells using 100 pl FACS buffer, and FACS to detect antibody internalization activity. The data were analyzed and graphed with GraphPad, and the results are shown in Figure 18, where the vedolizumab monoclonal antibody has internalization activity and is not affected by the TL1A protein; TLA0015-11 monoclonal antibody has no internalization activity; Internalization in the Vedolizumab+TLA0015-ll combo group is mediated by Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody and is therefore also not affected by the TL1 A protein; TLb0045-l and TLb0065-l bispecific antibodies have good internalization activity in the absence of TL1A protein, and the increase of internalization activity is significantly enhanced after the addition of TL1A protein. The reason is that after the bispecific antibodies Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0884] TLb0045-l or TLb0065-l bind to the TL1A antigen, they will promote endocytosis activity better through cross-linking. As shown in Figure 19, the endocytosis activity of the bispecific antibodies increased significantly after the addition of TL1A protein. The reason is that when the TL1 A monoclonal antibodies in these four bispecific antibodies bind to the TL1 A protein, they will form a complex antigen-antibody complex through cross-linking. Therefore, complex antigen-antibody complexes will also be formed in the bispecific antibodies through crosslinking, thereby promoting endocytosis.

[0885] Detection of a4p7 expression on the membrane: after the end of incubation, the second cell plate was removed, 450g centrifuged for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, 200 pl FACS Buffer was added to each well, 450g was centrifuged for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, and the step was repeated; Configure the Live / Dead dye at a ratio of 1 : 1,000 while adding 9.87 pl of Vedolizumab (at a concentration of 4.56 mg / mL) for a final concentration of 100 nM, adding 100 pl per well, and incubating at 4 °C for 60 min; Centrifuge at 450 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add 200 pl of FACS Buffer per well, and repeat this step three times; Dilute AF488 Goat anti-human Fc secondary antibody at a ratio of 1 :200, add 100 pl per well, and incubate at 4 °C for 30 min; Centrifuge at 450 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add 200 pl of FACS Buffer per well, repeat this step three times, resuspend the cells with 100 pl FACS Buffer, and detect the fluorescence signal by flow cytometry. The data were analyzed and graphed with GraphPad, and the results are shown in Figure 20, which shows that Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody has internalization activity and can down-regulate the expression of a4p7 on Hut 78 membrane, and is not affected by TL1A protein. Internalization in the Vedolizumab+TLA0015-ll combo group is mediated by Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody and is therefore also not affected by the TL1 A protein; TLb0045-l and TLb0065-l bispecific antibodies have good internalization activity, so in the absence of TL1 A protein, the expression of a4p7 on the membrane can be down-regulated, and after the addition of TL1 A protein, the internalization activity increases, and the expression of a4p7 on the membrane can be more significantly down-regulated. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0886] Detection of total a4p7: the second cell plate was removed at the end of incubation, centrifuged at 450g for 5min, discarded the supernatant, 200pl of FACS Buffer was added to each well, centrifuged at 450g for 5min, discarded the supernatant, and repeated the step once; Live / Dead dye was configured at a ratio of 1 : 1000, and at the same time, 9.87pl of Vedolizumab (concentration of 4.56 mg / mL), the final concentration of 100 nM, 100 pl of each well, incubation at 4 °C for 60 min; 450g centrifugation for 5 min, discard the supernatant, 200 pl of FACS Buffer per well, repeat the step three times; 100 pl of 2% PFA Fix Solution per well, incubation at room temperature Add lOOpl 2% PFA Fix Solution per well, incubate at room temperature for lOmin, centrifuge at 600g for 5min, discard the supernatant, add 200pl FACS Buffer per well, repeat the step twice; add lOOpl 0.1% Triton X-100 per well, incubate at ice for 7min, centrifuge at 600g for 5min, discard the supernatant, add 200pl FACS Buffer per well, repeat the step twice; add lOOpl 0.1% Triton X-100 per well, incubate at a final concentration of lOOnM Add Vedolizumab at a final concentration of 100 nM to each well and incubate at 4°C for 60 min; after incubation, centrifuge at 600g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, and add 200 pl of FACS Buffer to each well and repeat the procedure three times; Dilute the AF488 Goat anti -human Fc secondary antibody at a ratio of 1 :200 and add 100 pl to each well and incubate for 30 min at 4°C, and then add the AF488 Goat anti-human Fc secondary antibody to each well. After incubation for 30 min at °C, centrifuge at 600 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add 200 pl of FACS Buffer to each well, repeat the procedure three times, resuspend the cells with 100 pl of FACS Buffer, and detect the fluorescence signal by flow- through. The data were analyzed and plotted using GraphPad, and the results without TL1A protein are shown in Figure 21A. TLb0045-l and TLb0065-l bispecific antibodies downregulated the expression of total a4p7 as well as Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody. With the addition of TL1A protein, the results are shown in Figure 21B, the bispecific antibodies TLb0045-l and TLb0065-l could significantly down-regulate the expression of total a4p7 and were superior to Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody.

[0887] Example 16 The reverted expression of «4p7 on the membrane after internalization of bispecific antibody was detected

[0888] Based on flow cytometry assay, the relationship between the amount of a4p7 reverting to expression and time on the cell membrane after internalization of a plurality of bispecific antibodies prepared by example 1-3 of the present invention is detected.

[0889] Cultured Hut 78 cells were centrifuged at 450 g for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, resuspended in freshly prepared RPMI1640 medium, the cell density was adjusted to 4E6 / mL, and added to a 96-well low-adsorption U bottom plate, with a volume of 25 pl per well. pH Dye-labeled bispecific antibody and positive control antibody were diluted to 10 nM and 100 nM in RPMH640 medium, respectively, and 50pl / well were added to a 96-well plate. TL1A protein was diluted to 40 nM with RPMH640 medium and 25pl / well was added to the 96-well plate described above; For wells that do not require TL1A protein, add 25pl of RPMH640 medium, mix well with Hut 78 cells, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 24 hours. After the end of incubation, 450 g was centrifuged for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed twice using freshly prepared RPMH640 medium. The first group is incubated with Vedolizumab-488 fluorescently labeled antibody at 4 °C for 60 min. After the end of incubation, centrifuge at 450g for 5min, discard the supernatant, wash the cells twice with flow cytometry, add an appropriate amount of flow cytometry buffer to resuspend the cells, and detect the fluorescence signal by flow cytometry. The second, third, and fourth groups were supplemented with 200 pl of RPMH640 medium per well, and on the second, third, and fourth days, the newly expressed a4p7 molecule on the membrane was detected using Vedolizumab- 488 fluorescently labeled antibody, respectively.

[0890] The results of antibody incubation concentration of 5 nM are shown in Figure 22A (fluorescent signal), after 3 days of washing off the incubated antibody, the a4p7 molecule on the cell membrane surface of the cell membrane basically returned to the original level, and the addition of TL1A protein had no effect on the expression of a4p7 molecule on the membrane surface; Vedolizumab + TLA0015-11 in combination with vedolizumab monoclonal antibody results; The expression of a4p7 molecule on the membrane of TLb0045-l bispecific antibody Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC did not return to the original level after 3 days of washing off the incubated antibody The results indicated that TLb0045-l bispecific antibody had a stronger inhibitory effect on a4p7 expression on the membrane surface than that of Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody group and Vedolizumab+TLA0015-ll group. TLb0045-l had a strong inhibitory effect on the expression of a4p7 molecules on the upper surface of the membrane when TL1 A protein was added, and the expression of a4p7 molecules on the membrane was still at a very low level after 3 days of washing off the incubated antibody and TL1 A protein. The results of the proportion of positive cells are shown in Figure 22B, and the trend of the results is consistent with the results of the fluorescence signal in Figure 22 A, TLb0045-l has a good inhibition effect on the expression of a4p7 molecule, and the inhibition effect will be more obvious when TL1 A protein is added.

[0891] The results of the antibody incubation at 50 nM are shown in Figure 23A (fluorescent signal) and Figure 23B (proportion of positive cells), and the trend is consistent with the results of the 5 nM incubation, but due to the increase in antibody concentration, the expression of a4p7 molecule on the membrane surface has not returned to the original level after 3 days of washing off the incubation antibody. Among them, TLb0045-l bispecific antibody had a stronger inhibitory effect on the expression of a4p7 molecule on the membrane than that of Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody group and Vedolizumab + TLA0015-11 group, and the inhibitory effect was more obvious after the addition of TL1 A protein.

[0892] At the same time, PanT cells isolated from PBMC cells were used to detect the recovery of a4p7 expression on the membrane. The results were consistent with the results on HuT 78. As shown in Figures 24A and 24B, after the addition of TL1 A protein, the inhibitory effect of TLb0045-l bispecific antibody was more obvious. On day 3, the expression of Free a4p7 was still not detected on the cell surface.

[0893] Example 17 Detection of the inhibitory activity of bispecific antibodies on PanT cell migration

[0894] Based on the Trans-well experimental method, the inhibitory activity of multiple bispecific antibodies prepared by Examples 1-3 of the present invention on T cell migration was detected. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0895] Cell adhesion and Trans-well combined experiment: MAdCAM-1 protein was diluted to 2pg / ml with PBS, lOOpl / well, added to the chamber, and coated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the antibody was diluted with assay buffer (DPBS (w / o Ca2+,Mg2+)+l% BSA+0.5mM MnC12) to prepare an antibody concentration of 20nM (final concentration of 5nM); TL1A protein was prepared at a concentration of 40nM (final concentration of lOnM). According to the experimental design, 30pl of the above-mentioned antibody and 30pl of TL1 A protein were added to each well of a 96-well round-bottom plate (30pl assay buffer was added to the group without TL1A), and the 96-well round-bottom plate was placed on ice. Then, Pan T was resuspended in assay buffer (DPBS (w / o Ca2+,Mg2+)+l% BSA+0.5mM MnC12) to a density of 3.33x 106 cells / mL, and 60pl / well was inoculated in the above-mentioned 96-well roundbottom plate. After mixing, incubation was carried out on ice for 30 minutes. During the incubation process, the unbound proteins were washed away from the chamber coated with MAdCAM-1 his with PBST (PBS+0.5%o Tween-20) for three times. After the incubation, lOOpl of the mixture in the 96-well round-bottom plate was transferred to the chamber coated with MAdCAM-1 and incubated on ice for 45 minutes. After the incubation time, the unbound Pan T-antibody mixture in the chamber was washed away with assay buffer and washed 4 times. Then add lOOpl of DPBS+2%FBS medium to the chamber, and add 600pl of DPBS+2%FBS+ 500ng / ml CCL25 medium to the 24-well plate below the chamber. Incubate the 24-well plate in a carbon dioxide incubator overnight. On the third day, carefully remove the chamber from the 24-well plate, add 300pl of Bio-Lite Luciferase Assay reagent (Novozyme, DD1201-02) to each well, shake gently for 5 minutes, transfer 200pl to each well in a new 96-well white plate, and then read the RLU value on a multifunctional microplate reader. Use Graphpad to make a bar graph of the sample and the measured signal value. The results of the combined cell adhesion and Trans-well experiment are shown in Figure 25. Vedolizumab (Analogue), TLb0045-l and TLA0015-ll+Vedolizumab can all be seen to inhibit T cell migration.

[0896] Combined experiment of a4p7 recovery expression on membrane surface and Trans-well: The a4p7 recovery experiment on membrane surface in Example 16 was combined with the

[0897] Trans-well experiment. On day 0 and day 3, the a4p7 recovery expression on membrane Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC surface was detected and the Trans-well experiment was performed. The results of the 16-hour endocytosis experiment are shown in Figure 26, which shows that TL1A protein can specifically enhance the endocytosis activity of TLb0045-l and TLb0045-2 bispecific antibodies; the expression levels of a4p7 on the membrane surface of PanT cells on Day 0 and Day 3 are shown in Figures 27A and 27B, which shows that TL1A protein can specifically enhance the inhibitory activity of TLb0045-l and TLb0045-2 bispecific antibodies on the restoration of a4p7 expression on the membrane surface; the results of the Trans-well experiment on Day 0 are shown in Figure 28A, which shows that on Day 0, Vedolizumab monoclonal antibody, TLA0015-11 + Vedolizumab combination, TLb0045-l and TLb0045-2 bispecific antibodies have basically the same inhibitory activity on T cell migration; The results of the Trans-well experiment on Day 4 are shown in Figure 28B. It can be seen that the inhibitory activity on T cell migration in the monoclonal antibody group and the monoclonal antibody combination group is very weak in the presence or absence of TL1 A because the expression of a4p7 on the membrane has been restored; TLb0045-l and TLbO45-2 bispecific antibodies are equivalent to monoclonal antibodies in the absence of TL1 A, but in the presence of TL1 A protein, it can be seen that the bispecific antibodies still have a strong inhibitory effect on T cell migration. The experiment was repeated on another PanT (Donor 2), and the results were completely consistent. The specific endocytosis results are shown in Figure 29, the expression level of a4p7 on the membrane surface is shown in Figures 30A and 30B, and the results of Trans-well day 0 and day 4 are shown in Figures 31 A and 3 IB, respectively.

[0905] Example 19 LDH method to detect the T cell-dependent cytotoxic killing effect mediated by bispecific antibodies

[0906] This experiment uses the LDH method to detect whether bispecific antibodies will produce T cell-dependent cytotoxic killing effects. One end of the TLb0045-l bispecific antibody targets TL1 A, which is mainly expressed by endothelial cells, such as umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DC), T cells, chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, among which HUVECs have the highest expression level; the other end targets integrin « 4 f> 7, which is mainly expressed on the surface of lymphocytes and is responsible for mediating lymphocytes from the blood circulation into the intestines and central nervous system. Its abnormal function is closely related to human autoimmune diseases. In this experiment, TL1A overexpressing cell lines were co-incubated with PBMC under the condition of adding bispecific antibodies, and then LDH detection was Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC used to evaluate whether bispecific antibodies would produce T cell -dependent cytotoxic killing effects.

[0907] The target cells used in the experiment were CHO-K1 (purchased from Nanjing Kebai Biotechnology) and CHO-K1-TL1A (overexpression of human full-length TL1A was constructed on CHO-K1 cells), and the effector cells were PBMCs from different donors. CHO-K1 and CHO-K1-TL1A cells were first digested and centrifuged (300g, 5min), resuspended in F-12K complete medium and counted, the cell density was adjusted to 1E5 cells / ml, and 100 1 / well was inoculated in a 96-well flat-bottom plate and cultured overnight. The next day, the antibody was diluted with 1640 complete medium to prepare an antibody of 2 X analytical concentration, with a top dose of 2 u M (final of 1 u M), 10-fold gradient dilution, and a total of 9 concentration points. After the antibody was diluted, the 96-well flatbottom plate inoculated with CHO-K1-TL1A cells was removed, the culture supernatant was aspirated, and 80 u 1 of the above-diluted antibody was added to each well. It is necessary to set up 2 target cell only wells (Tmax and Tmin wells) and 1 target cell + PBMC well (Buffer well). Continue to pre-incubate the 96-well flat-bottom plate in the CO2 incubator for 30 minutes. During the pre-incubation process, centrifuge the PBMCs that were revived one day in advance (300g, 5min), resuspend and count them with 1640 complete medium, and adjust the cell density to 2.5E6 cells / ml. After the pre-incubation time is over, take out the 96-well flat-bottom plate and inoculate the PBMCs with the adjusted density at 80 u 1 / well. Take out a new 96-well plate and add 80 u 1 of the above-diluted antibody and 80 u 1 of PBMCs with the adjusted density to each well. Place the three groups of 96-well plates in the CO2 incubator and continue to incubate for 48h. 30min~lh before the end of incubation, add 20 u 1 of 10 X Lysis buffer (Tmax) to one of the target cell only wells and continue to incubate in the CO2 incubator. After the incubation, the 96-well flat-bottom plate was removed from the incubator, centrifuged (400g, 5min), and 50 u 1 of the culture supernatant was aspirated from each well into a new 96-well flat-bottom plate. 50 u 1 of CytoTox 96® Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay (promega, G1780) substrate solution was added to each well of the 96-well flat-bottom plate. After incubation at room temperature and in the dark for 20min, 50 u 1 of Stop Solution Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC was added to each well after the color development time to terminate the reaction, and the absorbance value at 490nm was detected by an enzyme reader. The killing ratio was calculated as follows: Lysis %=(OD490Sample - OD490Buffer) / (OD490Tmax- OD490Tmin) X 100%. The logarithm of the antibody concentration was taken using Graphpad to perform a four- parameter fitting plot with the killing ratio. The killing results are shown in Figure 33, where the killing of CHO-K1 cells after co-incubation with PBMC antibodies is shown in Figure 34A. Except for the positive control, other antibodies have no killing effect; the killing of CHO-K1- TL1 A cells after co-incubation with PBMC antibodies is shown in Figure 34B. Except for the positive control, other antibodies have no killing effect; the results of co-incubation of simple antibodies with PBMC are shown in Figure 34C. Except for the positive control, other antibodies have no killing effect.

[0908] Bispecific antibody-mediated T cell activation detection: Prepare antibody mixture: Brilliant Violet 785™ anti-human CD3 Antibody (BioLegend, Cat#344842), Brilliant Violet 421™ anti-human CD8 Antibody (BioLegend, Cat#344748), BD Pharmingen™ APC Mouse Anti-Human CD69 (BD, Cat#555533), BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse Anti-Human CD25 (BD, Cat#555432) at a ratio of 1 :200, and dilute them with FACS buffer (PBS+1%FBS) for later use. In the above T cell-dependent cytotoxic killing experiment, the cell pellet after centrifugation (400g, 5min) was resuspended with antibody mixture, incubated at 4 °C for 30min, washed with PBS to remove unbound antibodies 3 times, and finally resuspended with 80 u 1 PBS. The samples were collected on a flow cytometer (Agilent, NovoCyte Penteon) to analyze the proportion of CD25+CD69+ in the CD4+ cell population and the proportion of CD25+CD69+ in the CD8+ cell population. The four-parameter fitting plot was performed with Graphpad after taking the logarithm of the antibody concentration and the CD25+CD69+ ratio. The different T cell activation detection after CHO-K1 cells were co-incubated with PBMC antibodies is shown in Figure 35; the different T cell activation detection after CHO-K1-TL1 A cells were co-incubated with PBMC antibodies is shown in Figure 36; the results of the simple antibody co-incubated with PBMC are shown in Figure 37. The above experimental results are Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC consistent. Except for the positive control, other antibodies have no function of activating T cells.

[0909] Cytokine release detection mediated by bispecific antibodies: For the above T celldependent cytotoxic killing experiment, after centrifugation (400g, 5min), 50 u 1 of culture supernatant was aspirated from each well into a new 96-well V-bottom plate, and then processed according to the instructions of BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Human Thl / Th2 Cytokine Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Kit II (BD, Cat# 551809). Samples were collected on a flow cytometer (Agilent, NovoCyte Penteon), analyzed using FCAP Array v3 software, and finally Graphpad was used to perform a four-parameter fitting plot of the antibody concentration and the concentration of each cytokine. The specific results are shown in Figures 38 and 39. After CHO-K1 cells were co-incubated with PBMC antibodies, and after CHO-K1-TL1A cells were co-incubated with PBMC antibodies, the release of IL-2, IL-6, IL- 10, TNF- a , and IFN- y cytokines was not induced.

[0910] Example 20 Detection of bispecific antibody Tm value detection

[0911] The experiment is based on a Panta instrument to detect the Tm values of a plurality of bispecific antibodies prepared by example 1-3 of the present invention. The Prometheus Panta instrument (NanoTemper Technologies GmbH) includes micro-differential scanning fluorescence (nanoDSF) technology, which tracks the folding state of a protein by detecting its endogenous fluorescence. The ratio of the fluorescence signal changes with increasing temperature or chemical denaturant concentration, thus determining the protein stability parameter Tm value. The specific Tm values of each antibody are shown in Table 8.

[0913] Example 21 Detection of bispecific antibody pharmacokinetics in rats

[0914] In this experiment, SD rats were used to study the pharmacokinetics of bispecific antibodies in rats. At the same time, the stability of bispecific antibody molecules in rats was detected. Female rats with SPF grades were purchased from Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., and after the animals were quarantined, 5 mice were randomly assigned for each antibody. Each rat was injected with Img / kg of bispecific antibodies TLb0045 and TLb0065 through the tail vein, and blood was subsequently collected at the time points in Table 9. Serum was collected by lOOpl / time point / only by jugular vein, placed at room temperature for 1 h, and centrifuged (8000 rpm, centrifugation for 5 min) at room temperature.

[0915] The first detection method: recombinant human TL1 A-his protein was diluted to 1 pg / ml with PBS, added to the microplate at 100 pl / well, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Remove the coating solution, block at 200 pl / well, add 5% skim milk, and incubate for 2 h at room temperature. Remove the blocking solution and wash three times at 250 pl / well with 0.5%o PBST and pat dry for later use. Dilute the serum sample to the appropriate ratio using the blocking solution and add it to the blocked plate. The standard curves were added sequentially to the blocked plate at 100 pl / well using TLb0045 and TLb0065 starting at 100 nM for a total of 20 concentration gradients (up to 100 nM), respectively, and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Wash the plate 3 times with 0.5%oPBST, add 10,000-fold dilution of HRP-labeled goat anti -human IgG antibody, 100 pl / well, and incubate for 60 min at room temperature. Wash the plate 5 times with 0.5%oPBST, add TMB at 100 pl / well, incubate at room temperature in the dark for 5 min, at 100 pl / well, add stop solution, stop the substrate chromogenic reaction, read the OD value at 450 nm with a microplate reader, analyze the data with a GraphPad, plot and calculate the half-life (T 1 / 2).

[0916] At the same time, the second method was used to quantify the antibody concentration in rat serum: first, Biotin conjugation of a4p7 protein was performed using a biotin labeling kit to obtain a4p7-Biotin protein for backup. Recombinant human TL1 A-his protein is diluted to 1 pg / ml in PBS at 100 pl / well, added to the plate and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Remove the Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC coating solution, block at 200 pl / well, add 5% skim milk, and incubate at room temperature for 2 h. Remove the blocking solution and wash three times at 250 pl / well with 0.5%o PBST and pat dry for later use. The diluted serum sample is added to the closed microplate label. The standard curves were added sequentially to the blocked plate at 100 pl / well using TLb0045 and TLb0065 starting at 100 nM for a total of 20 concentration gradients (up to 100 nM), respectively, and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Wash the plate 3 times with 0.5%oPBST, dilute a4p7-Biotin protein to 2 pg / ml and incubate at 100 pl / well for 60 min at room temperature; Add 5,000-fold diluted SA-HRP solution, incubate at room temperature for 60 min, wash the plate 5 times with 0.5%oPBST at 100 pl / well, add TMB, and incubate at room temperature at 100 pl / well in the dark. The stop solution was added, the substrate chromogenic reaction was stopped, the OD value at 450 nm was read with a microplate reader, the data was analyzed with a GraphPad, plotted and the half-life (Tl / 2) was calculated.

[0917] As shown in Fig. 40 and Fig. 41, the concentrations of bispecific antibody TLb0045 and TLb0065 in serum were basically the same as those detected by the two detection methods, indicating that the bispecific antibody molecule was stable in rats and was not easy to break. When TLb0045 and TLb0065 bispecific antibodies were compared together, there was little difference in serum concentrations, as shown in Figure 42. The individual parameters of the PK calculation are shown in Table 10, and the half-life of the bispecific antibody is about 6-8 days.

[0920] Example 22 Detection of pharmacokinetics of bispecific antibody in hFcRn mice

[0921] In this experiment, B-hFcRn transgenic mice were used to study the pharmacokinetics of bispecific antibodies. FcRn is the receptor for antibody IgG, and its binding is pH-dependent. In a weakly acidic environment, the IgG-Fc segment exhibits a high affinity for FcRn, while in a neutral or alkaline environment, the IgG-Fc segment exhibits a low affinity for FcRn. When IgG is non-specific pinocytosis by cells, it enters the acidic environment of the endosome, and shows high affinity binding to FcRn on the endosomal membrane, and then is transported to the cell membrane by the circulating endosome, at this time, under alkaline conditions, the IgG- Fc segment has a very low affinity with FcRn, and IgG is released from the FcRn into the blood circulation, thereby increasing the half-life of IgG. When M428L and N434S mutations are introduced into IgG-Fc, the binding ability of Fc to FcRn receptor can be enhanced, and the half-life of IgG can be better extended. B-hFcRn transgenic mice (Catalog: 110001) were purchased from Biocytogen, and the mouse FcRn gene was knocked out on the C57BL / 6 strain mice, and the human FcRn gene was knocked in, and the transgenic mouse only expressed the human FcRn receptor protein, but not the mouse FcRn receptor, so it can be used for metabolic kinetic studies of antibody drugs. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0922] Female B-hFcRn transgenic mice with SPF grade were purchased from Biocytogen (Beijing) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., and after the animals were quarantined, 10 mice were randomly assigned to each antibody, divided into 2 groups, 5 mice in each group, and blood was collected alternately. Each mouse is injected with 1 mg / kg of bispecific antibody via the tail vein and blood is then collected alternately at the time points in Table 11. Blood was collected by mandibular vein by collecting 20 pl / time point / piece, leaving it at room temperature for 1 h, and centrifugation (8000 rpm, centrifugation for 5 min) at room temperature.

[0923] The first detection method: recombinant human TL1 A-his protein was diluted to 1 pg / ml with PBS, added to the microplate at 100 pl / well, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Remove the coating solution, block at 200 pl / well, add 5% skim milk, and incubate for 2 h at room temperature. Remove the blocking solution and wash three times at 250 pl / well with 0.5%o PBST and pat dry for later use. Dilute the serum sample to the appropriate ratio using the blocking solution and add it to the blocked plate. The standard curves were added sequentially at 100 pl / well to the closed plate using TLb0045 and TLb0045-l, respectively, with 2-fold dilutions for a total of 20 concentration gradients (maximum concentration of 100 nM), at 100 pl / well, and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Wash the plate 3 times with 0.5%oPBST, add 10,000-fold dilution of HRP -labeled goat anti -human IgG antibody, 100 pl / well, and incubate for 60 min at room temperature. Wash the plate 5 times with 0.5%oPBST, add TMB at 100 pl / well, incubate at room temperature in the dark for 5 min, at 100 pl / well, add stop solution, stop the substrate chromogenic reaction, read the OD value at 450 nm with a microplate reader, analyze the data with a GraphPad, plot and calculate the half-life (T 1 / 2).

[0924] At the same time, the second method was used to increase antibody concentrations in mouse serum: recombinant human TLlA-his protein was diluted to 1 pg / ml in PBS at 100 pl / well, added to a microplate plate, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Remove the coating solution, block at 200 pl / well, add 5% skim milk, and incubate at room temperature for 2 h. Remove the blocking solution and wash three times at 250 pl / well with 0.5%o PBST and pat dry for later use. The diluted serum sample is added to the closed microplate label. The standard Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC curves were added sequentially at 100 pl / well to the closed plate using TLb0045 and TLb0045- 1, respectively, with 2-fold dilutions for a total of 20 concentration gradients (maximum concentration of 100 nM), at 100 pl / well, and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Wash the plate 3 times with 0.5%oPBST, dilute a4p7-Biotin protein to 2 pg / ml and incubate at 100 pl / well for 60 min at room temperature; Add 5,000-fold diluted SA-HRP solution, incubate at room temperature for 60 min, wash the plate 5 times with 0.5%oPBST at 100 pl / well, add TMB, and incubate at room temperature at 100 pl / well in the dark. The stop solution was added, the substrate chromogenic reaction was stopped, the OD value at 450 nm was read with a microplate reader, the data was analyzed with a GraphPad, plotted and the half-life (Tl / 2) was calculated.

[0925] As shown in Figures 43 and 44, the concentrations of the bispecific antibodies TLb0045 and TLb0045-l in serum were not significantly different. The half-life calculated by fitting the two test results of TLb0045 is 5-6 days, and the half-life calculated by fitting the two test results of TLb0045-l is 9.7 days. The individual parameters of PK calculation are shown in Table 11.

[0928] Example 23 Detection of the pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody in the DSS-induced hTLlA / h«4p7 mouse enteritis model This experiment used hTLlA / ha4p7 transgenic mice to study the in vivo pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody in the DSS-induced enteritis model. hTLlA / ha4p7 transgenic mice were purchased from Biocytogen (Beijing) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. The humanized transgenic mice are C57BL / 6 strain mice, which are hybridized from B-hTLl A transgenic mice and B-ha4p7 transgenic mice. The transgenic mice can express human TL1A and human a4p7 proteins at the same time. The mouse enteritis model induced by dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) is the most widely used chemically induced mouse IBD model. Acute ulcerative enteritis or chronic colitis is induced by dissolving DSS in drinking water, destroying the intestinal epithelial cells of mice, and nonspecific immune cells releasing cytokines, which ultimately leads to the destruction of the integrity of the mucosal barrier. The animals show obvious weight loss, loose stools, blood in stools, and granulocyte infiltration, which are extremely similar to human ulcerative colitis in clinical symptoms and pathological characteristics. Therefore, the DSS-induced enteritis model can be used to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0929] 32 female hTLlA / ha4p7 transgenic mice were randomly divided into six groups according to their body weight, including two mice in the G1 negative control group, G2 modeling group, G3 TLA0015-11 drug group, G4 Vedolizumab (analog) drug group, G5 TLA0015-11 + Vedolizumab drug combination group, and G6 TLb0045-l drug group, each with six mice. The detailed grouping of mice is shown in Table 13. The drug was injected intraperitoneally on days 0, 3, and 6, with a dose of 10 mg / kg. From day 0 to day 7, mice were given drinking water containing 3% DSS, which was replaced with normal drinking water from day 8 to day 9, and the experiment ended on day 9. During the experiment, the weight of the experimental animals was measured and recorded every two days, and the daily activities of the animals were observed; the fecal characteristics of the experimental animals were scored every day (0 = normal, 1 = moist / sticky, 2 = soft, 3 = liquid). After the experiment ended on day 9, all experimental animals were euthanized by asphyxiation with excessive carbon dioxide, and then the abdominal cavity was cut open, the colon was removed, and the colon length was recorded.

[0930] After the experiment, the results were statistically analyzed, and the results of the weight changes of mice are shown in Figures 45A and 45B. Compared with the G2 modeling group, the weight loss of mice in the four drug-administered groups was alleviated, and TLA0015-11 had the best efficacy. From the daily activity score results (Figure 46), the TLb0045-l drug- administered group had the lowest score and the best efficacy. At the end of the 9th day of the experiment, all mice were alive. The length and weight of the colorectum were measured after dissection. The results of the colorectal length of mice are shown in Figures 47A and 47B, and the results of the colorectal weight are shown in Figures 48A and 48B. The G2 modeling group can see that the colorectal length is significantly shortened and the weight is significantly increased. The TLA0015-11 and TLb0045-l administration groups can see the efficacy of the drug in the colorectal length and weight indicators of mice. Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0932] Example 24 Detection of the pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody in the TNBS-induced hTLlA / h«4p7 mouse enteritis model

[0933] This experiment used hTLlA / ha4p7 transgenic mice to study the in vivo pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody in the TNBS-induced enteritis model. TNBS-treated mice can establish a preclinical model that simulates clinical Crohn's disease (CD). The immune response produced is Thl-mediated, characterized by the infiltration of CD4+T cells, neutrophils, and macrophages, forming a horizontally progressive inflammation, leading to colitis. Therefore, the TNBS-induced enteritis model can be used to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamic activity of the bispecific antibody.

[0934] Twenty-seven female hTLlA / ha4p7 transgenic mice were randomly divided into six groups according to their body weight, including two mice in the G1 negative control group, five mice in the G2 modeling group, five mice in the G3 TLA0015-11 drug group, five mice in the G4 Vedolizumab (analog) drug group, five mice in the G5 TLA0015-ll+Vedolizumab drug combination group, and five mice in the G6 TLb0045-l drug administration group. The detailed grouping of mice is shown in Table 14. Intraperitoneal administration began on Day 1, and the drug was administered once every three days for a total of three times. All animals were fasted on Day 0; on Day 1, 100 pl 60% ethanol was given rectal administration (i.r.) to the G1 negative control group, and 100 pl 2% TNBS was given rectal administration (i.r.) to the G2 to Attorney Docket No.: 769273: SA9-943PC

[0935] G6 groups, and all animals were given a feed to induce acute enteritis. During the experiment, the weight of the experimental animals was measured and recorded every day, and the daily activities of the animals were observed; the fecal characteristics of the experimental animals were scored every day (0 = normal, 1 = moist / sticky, 2 = soft, 3 = liquid). After the experiment ended on the 9th day, all experimental animals were euthanized by asphyxiation with excessive carbon dioxide, and then the abdominal cavity was cut open, the colon was removed, and the colon length was recorded.

[0936] After the experiment, the results were statistically analyzed, and the results of the weight change of mice are shown in Figures 49A and 49B. Compared with the G2 modeling group, the weight of mice in the TLA0015-11 drug group, the Vedolizumab (analog) drug group and the TLb0045-l drug group can be seen to have recovered. From the daily activity score results (Figure 50), the scores of the TLA0015-11 drug group, the Vedolizumab (analog) drug group and the TLb0045-l drug group began to decrease after the 4th day. The animal survival curve results are shown in Figure 51, where all mice in the modeling group and the combination group died on the 5th day. At the end of the 9th day, some other mice also died. After dissection, the length and weight of the colorectum were measured. The results of the colorectal length of mice are shown in Figures 52A and 52B, and the results of the colorectal weight are shown in Figures 53 A and 53B. The G2 modeling group can see that the colorectal length is significantly shortened and the weight is significantly increased. TLA0015-11, Vedolizumab (analog) and bispecific antibody TLb0045-l can all see the efficacy.
