Description

An Anti-Canine PD-1 Antibody and Use Thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of antibodies, in particular to an anti-canine PD-1 antibody and use thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tumors are common and frequently-occurring diseases in humans and animals, in which canine malignant tumors have become the main cause of death in dogs. Relevant research data show that one out of every four dogs is diagnosed with a tumor, and the proportion of dogs over 10 years old suffering from tumors is even as high as 50% or more. At present, the clinical treatment means for canine tumors mainly comprises surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Common chemotherapeutic drugs comprise cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone and the like, which have disadvantages such as poor tumor specificity and high toxic and side effects. Immunotherapy is an emerging treatment means, which may be effective and has few side effects for patients with poor response to chemotherapy. The research and application of immunotherapy has made a major breakthrough in human tumors, and it is of great significance to promote and apply immunotherapy to animal tumors.

[0003] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), as a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of about 55 kDa, belongs to the CD28 receptor superfamily, and is mainly expressed on the surface of T cells, B lymphocytes and activated macrophages. PD-1 proteins have two ligands: PD-L1 and PD-L2. Under normal physiological conditions, the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1 / PD-L2 may inhibit the activation of T cells, thereby protecting the body from the attack of the autoimmune system; however, a variety of solid tumors and some hematologic tumors, including melanoma, breast cancer, various tumors of the digestive system, lymphoma, leukemia and other cancer cells, also highly express PD-L1. The PD-L1 on the tumor cell membrane binds to the PD-1 on T cells, inhibiting the activation of T cells, thereby successfully evading the recognition and attack of the body’s immune system, and achieving the immune escape of tumor cells. Furthermore, the expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells was found to be associated with poor prognosis in multiple tumor types. Therefore, blocking the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1 is an idea of tumor immunotherapy. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0051] The experimental methods used in the examples below are all conventional methods, unless otherwise specified.

[0052] All the materials, reagents, etc., used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources, unless otherwise specified.

[0053] The present invention will be described in detail below by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are not intended to limit the present invention and are merely illustrative.

[0054] In order to understand the present disclosure more clearly, some terms are firstly defined. The terms “first” and “second” are only used for illustrative purposes, and can not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical feature. Thus, the features defined with “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly comprise one or more of the features. Further, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “a plurality of” means two or more.

[0055] The term “comprising” or “containing” herein is an open-ended expression, i.e., including the contents specified in the present invention, but not excluding contents in other aspects.

[0056] The terms “optionally” or “optional” herein generally mean that the subsequently described event or condition may, but is not necessary to, occur, and that the description comprises instances in which the event or condition occurs, as well as instances in which the event or condition does not occur.

[0057] The term “antibody” herein generally refers to an antibody capable of recognizing one or more antigenic epitopes, including but not limited to a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal antibody, a multimeric antibody and a CDR-grafted antibody, which is an immunoglobulin molecule capable of binding to a specific antigen. The antibody comprises two light chains with lighter molecular weights and two heavy chains with heavier molecular weights. The heavy chains (H chains) and light chains (L chains) are linked by disulfide bonds to form a molecule of four peptide chains. In the molecule, the amino-terminal (N-terminal) amino acid sequences of the peptide chains change greatly, which are called variable regions (V regions), and the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) amino acid sequences are relatively stable and change little, which are called constant regions (C regions). The V regions of the L chain and H chain are referred to as VL and VH, respectively. In the variable regions, the amino acid composition and arrangement sequence of some regions have a higher degree of change, which are called hypervariable regions (hypervariable regions, HVRs). The hypervariable regions constitute the position where an antigen binds to the antibody, and thus they are also called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). There are three CDRs on both the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region.

[0058] The term “Fab antibody” herein generally refers to an antibody containing only an Fab molecule, which is composed of the VH and CH1 of a heavy chain and a complete light chain, wherein the light chain and the heavy chain are linked by one disulfide bond.

[0059] The term “Fv antibody” herein generally refers to an antibody formed by linking only a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain variable region (VH) by a non-covalent bond, which is the smallest functional fragment of an antibody that retains an intact antigen-binding site.

[0060] The terms “single domain antibody”, “nanobody” and “VHH antibody” herein are used interchangeably, originally described as an antigen-binding immunoglobulin (variable) domain of a “heavy chain antibody” (i.e. “an antibody lacking light chains”) (Hamers-Casterman C, AtarhouchT, Muyldermans S, Robinson G, Hamers C, Songa EB, Bendahman N, Hamers R.: “Naturallyoccurring antibodies devoid of light chains”; Nature 363, 446-448(1993)), which comprises only a heavy chain variable region (VH) and conventional CH2 and CH3 regions, and specifically binds to an antigen via the heavy chain variable region.

[0061] The term “single-chain antibody” herein generally refers to an antibody in which a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL) are linked via a linker peptide.

[0062] The terms “minimal recognition unit” and “MRU” herein both refer to an antibody consisting of only one CDR, which has a very small molecular weight accounting for only about 1% of that of a complete antibody.

[0063] The term “identity”, “homology” or “similarity” used herein means when an amino acid or nucleic acid sequence is described with respect to a reference sequence, the percentage of identical amino acids or nucleotides between the two amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences determined by conventional methods. For example, reference can be made to Ausubel et al., ed. (1995), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Chapter 19 (Greene Publishing and Wiley-Interscience, New York); and ALIGN program (Dayhoff (1978), Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure 5: Suppl.3 (National Biomedical Research Foundation, Washington, D.C.). There are many algorithms for aligning sequences and determining sequence identity, including the homology alignment algorithm described in Needleman et al. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443; the local homology algorithm described in Smith et al. (1981) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482; the similarity search method described in Pearson et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 85:2444; the Smith-Waterman algorithm (Meth. Mol. Biol. 70:173-187(1997); and BLASTP, BLASTN, and BLASTX algorithms (see Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410). Computer programs that utilize these algorithms are also available and include, but are not limited to: ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software, or WU-BLAST-2 (Altschul et al., Meth. Enzym., 266:460-480(1996)); or GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST (Altschul et al., supra), FASTA, and TFASTA, which can be available in the Genetics Computing Group (GCG) package, version 8, Madison, Wisconsin, USA; and CLUSTAL in the PC / Gene program provided by Intelligenetics, Mountain View, California.

[0064] The term “at least 85% identity” herein refers to at least 85% identity, that may be 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5% and 99.9% identity, to the corresponding reference sequence.

[0065] As used herein, an antibody that “binds to PD-1” or “specifically binds to PD-1”, or an “anti-PD-1 antibody” refers to an antibody that binds to the PD-1 with a KD value of 1.0 x 10-8 mol / L or less. Binding affinities are determined using PD-1 extracellular domains by standard binding assays, such as bio-layer interferometry (Gator).

[0066] The term “expression vector” herein generally refers to a nucleic acid molecule which can be inserted into a suitable host to self-replicate, which transfers an inserted nucleic acid molecule into a host cell and / or between host cells. The expression vector may comprise a vector mainly for inserting a DNA or RNA into a cell, a vector mainly for replicating a DNA or RNA, and a vector mainly for expression of transcription and / or translation of a DNA or RNA. The expression vector also includes a vector having a variety of the above-mentioned functions. The expression vector may be a polynucleotide which can be transcribed and translated into a polypeptide, when introduced into a suitable host cell. Typically, the expression vector can produce a desired expression product by culturing a suitable host cell comprising the expression vector. The expression vector carries the aforementioned nucleic acid molecule. When the above-mentioned nucleic acid molecule is linked to the vector, the nucleic acid molecule may be directly or indirectly linked to control elements on the vector, as long as these control elements can control the translation, expression and the like of the nucleic acid molecule. Of course, these control elements may be derived directly from the vector itself, or may be exogenous, i.e., not derived from the vector itself. Of course, the nucleic acid molecule may be operably linked to a control element. The expression “operably linked” herein means that a foreign gene is linked to the vector, so that the control element within the vector, such as a transcription control sequence, a translation control sequence, etc., can exert its intended function of regulating transcription and translation of the foreign gene. Commonly used vectors may be, for example, plasmids, phages, and the like. After the expression vector according to some specific embodiments of the present invention is introduced into a suitable recipient cell, the expression of the aforementioned antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be effectively achieved under the mediation of a regulatory system, and then the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be obtained in large quantities in vitro.

[0067] The term “recombinant cell” herein generally refers to a cell having a unique trait stably inherited, which is obtained by performing modifying or recombination on the genetic material of a host cell using a genetic engineering technique or a cell fusion technique. The term “host cell” herein refers to a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell into which a recombinant expression vector can be introduced. As used herein, the term “transformation” or “transfection” refers to the introduction of a nucleic acid (e. g., a vector) into a cell by various techniques known in the art. A suitable host cell may be transformed or transfected with the DNA sequence of the present invention and may be used for expression and / or secretion of the target protein.

[0068] The term “pharmaceutical composition” herein generally refers to a unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmaceutical art. All the methods comprise the step of bringing an active ingredient into association with carriers which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the composition is prepared by uniformly and thoroughly bringing an active compound into association with a liquid carrier, a finely divided solid carrier or both.

[0069] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary material” herein may include any solvent, solid excipient, diluent, or other liquid excipients, etc., suitable for the particular intended dosage form. Its use is also within the scope considered by the present invention, except in cases where any conventional auxiliary material is incompatible with the compound of the present invention, for example, any adverse biological effects produced or any interaction occurring in a harmful manner with any other component of the pharmaceutically acceptable composition.

[0070] The term “administering” herein refers to introducing a predetermined amount of a substance into a treatment subject through some suitable means. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be administered by any common route, as long as it can reach the intended tissue. Various modes of administration are contemplated, including intraperitoneal injection, intravenous injection, intravenous drip, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection, and the like; however, the present invention is not limited to these exemplified modes of administration. The treatment subject may be a mammal, preferably canine.

[0071] The term “treatment” herein refers to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptoms thereof, and / or may be therapeutic in terms of partially or completely curing a disease and / or an adverse effect resulting from a disease. As used herein, “treatment” encompasses that for a disease in a mammal, particularly canine, and comprises: (a) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in an individual who is susceptible to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed with the disease; (b) inhibiting the disease, e.g., blocking the progression of the disease; or (c) relieving the disease, e.g., alleviating the symptoms associated with the disease. As used herein, “treatment” encompasses any medication in which a medicament or compound is administered to an individual to treat, cure, relieve, ameliorate, alleviate or inhibit a disease in the individual, including, but not limited to, administering a medicament comprising the compound described herein to an individual in need thereof.

[0072] Example 1 Preparation and identification of a mouse anti-canine PD-1 antibody 1. Preparation of the antigen The UniProt database and GenBank database were searched for canine PD-1 protein (UniProtKB: A0A024FCJ9), the amino acid sequence thereof was shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, the corresponding nucleotide sequence with a His tag was artificially synthesized and constructed in pcDNA3.4 vector. The vector was transiently transfected into HEK293 cells, the cell supernatant was collected 5 days after transfection, the supernatant was subjected to an affinity chromatography by Ni column and the purified canine PD-1 recombinant protein was obtained by elution.

[0073] 2. Immunization of mice Balb / c mice or C57 mice were immunized with 7-8 mg canine PD-1 recombinant protein as the antigen. Sera were collected after four immunizations and analyzed for antibody titer using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

[0074] 3. Spleen RNA extraction and reverse transcription RNAs was extracted from a mouse spleen tissue by Trizol method, the integrity of RNAs was identified by denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis, and the concentration of RNAs and OD260 / OD280 were measured by an ultramicro spectrophotometer. Qualified RNAs were selected, and RNA reverse transcription was performed according to the instruction of Superscript II reverse transcriptase (Thermo Scientific) to obtain cDNAs.

[0075] 4. Construction of an antibody library and phage display The antibody heavy chain and light chain were amplified from cDNA, the scFv antibody library and Fab antibody library were constructed respectively, with the library capacity of 1 X 108 CFU / mL. The antibody library was transferred into TG1 E. coli through electroporation, then the helper phage M13KO7 was added to infect TG1 E. coli, and after overnight culture, the phage was precipitated using PEG / NaCl and a phage display antibody library was prepared.

[0076] 5. Screening for phage display antibody libraries Solid phase screening and solid phase and liquid phase cross-screening for the phage display antibody library were performed by an immune tube and a magnetic bead screening instrument. In the solid phase screening, the canine PD-1 recombinant protein was used to coat the immune tube, and in the liquid phase screening, biotinylated canine PD-1 recombinant protein was used to coat Dynabeads magnetic beads. After three rounds of screening, Phage ELISA was used to identify the enriched phage collection as well as the single clone isolated from the collection.

[0077] 6. Construction, expression and purification of the antibody The phagemid of Phage ELISA-positive single clone was subjected to a DNA sequencing, and based on the sequencing results, the murine antibody variable region with a correct reading frame was selected for gene synthesis to obtain an active murine antibody. Amino acid sequences of complementarity determining regions (CDRs) 1, 2 and 3 of heavy and light chain variable regions of murine antibodies were obtained using Kabat, Chothia, and IMGT numbering (numbered in the abYsis and IMGT databases, respectively) respectively.

[0078] Then, the heavy chain variable region (SEQ ID NO: 16) of murine antibody was fused with the heavy chain constant region (including CH1, CH2 and CH3) from a canine IgG B mutant, the light chain variable region (SEQ ID NO: 17) was fused with the canine kappa chain constant region (CL), and they were inserted into pcDNA3.4 vector to construct a full-length chimeric antibody expression plasmid. The chimeric antibody was transiently transfected and expressed in HEK293 cells, the culture supernatant was subjected to recombinant protein A affinity chromatography to obtain a purified chimeric antibody, numbered 3334, wherein the full length of the heavy chain of the chimeric antibody was shown in SEQ ID NO: 26, and the full length of the light chain was shown in SEQ ID NO: 27.

[0079] Example 2 Screening for antibodies that block the binding of canine PD-1 to its ligand The full-length canine PD-L1 (UniProtKB: E2RKZ5) was constructed and transfected into CHO-K1 cells, and a monoclonal cell line with high expression (hereinafter referred to as canine PD-L1 / CHO-K1 cells for short) was obtained by screening. The ability of anti-canine PD-1 antibodies to block the binding of canine PD-1 to canine PD-L1 / CHO-K1 cells was detected by flow cytometry.

[0080] Biotin-labelled canine PD-1 recombinant protein was incubated with different concentrations of antibodies for 5 minutes, then added to PD-L1 / CHO-K1 cells, incubated at 4°C for 60 minutes, and rinsed twice with cold PBS containing 1% FBS. Streptavidin-APC fluorescent secondary antibody was added. The mixture was incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes, and rinsed twice with cold PBS containing 1% FBS, and resuspended in 200 mL PBS containing 1% FBS, and the proportion of cells labelled by APC was analyzed using a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, CytoFLEX). The APC positive cell rate reflects the binding ability of the biotin-labelled canine PD-1 recombinant protein to PD-L1 / CHO-K1 cells. The lower the APC positive cell rate, the stronger the ability of the antibodies to block the binding of biotin-labelled canine PD-1 recombinant protein to its ligand.

[0081] As shown in the result of FIG. 1, with the increase of the concentration of 3334 chimeric antibody, the APC positive cell rate gradually decreased, indicating that 3334 chimeric antibody can block the binding of canine PD-1 to PD-L1.

[0082] Example 3 Construction of caninized antibodies The 3334 chimeric antibody was caninized by CDR grafting and back mutation based on framework region homology. Firstly, caninized heavy chain variable region variants (SEQ ID NOs: 18-20) and caninized light chain variable region variants (SEQ ID NOs: 21-23) were constructed. A variable region of a caninized antibody was obtained by freely combining with a caninized heavy chain variable region and a caninized light chain variable region of the same antibody. For example, heavy chain 3334-H1 (SEQ ID NO: 18) can be combined with light chain 3334-K1 (SEQ ID NO: 21), 3334-K2 (SEQ ID NO: 22) or 3334-K3 (SEQ ID NO: 23), and the combinations were labelled as 3334-H1K1, 3334-H1K2 and 3334-H1K3 respectively. A constant region of a caninized antibody consisted of a constant domain of a canine IgG B mutant and a canine kappa constant region domain. For example, 3334-H1K1-canIgG B was composed of a caninized variable region heavy chain H1, a caninized variable region light chain K1, a constant region of a canine IgG B mutant and a canine kappa constant region. For the details of specific sequence combination names, reference can be made to Table 1. The constant regions of the antibodies shown were a heavy chain constant region domain of a canine IgG B mutant, with an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 24, and a canine kappa chain constant region domain with an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 25, respectively.

[0084] Example 4 Affinity assay of the constructed chimeric antibody and caninized antibodies Affinities of 3334 chimeric antibody and nine 3334 caninized antibodies were determined using a Gator instrument based on the Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) technology. Firstly, the antibodies were labelled with biotin (ThermoFisher, 21343), and the biotinylated test antibodies were diluted to 100 nM and added to a black 96-well plate as the stationary phase. Then the analyte (canine PD-1-His) was diluted in gradient (200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.13 nM) and added to the black 96-well plate. Finally, streptavidin probes (Gator™ Streptavidin Probes) were used to determine the affinities of the antibodies to the canine PD-1 according to the movement procedure of equilibration, stationary phase, equilibration, analyte, and equilibration.

[0085] The results were shown in Table 2, the affinity of the 3334 chimeric antibody to PD-1 was 8.76E-10, and the affinities of the 3334 caninized antibodies were slightly weaker than that of the 3334 chimeric antibody, but the change was not significant.

Detection of in vitro biological activity of new antibodies using canine PD-1 / PD-L1 luciferase reporter gene-containing cell lines The canine PD-1 / PD-L1 luciferase reporter gene-containing monoclonal cell lines of Canine_PD-L1 aAPC CHO-K1 and Canine_PD-1 Reporter Jurkat based on the canine PD-1 / PD-L1 signalling pathway, were constructed respectively, for evaluating the ability of antibodies to affect PD-1 / PD-L1 signalling pathway. The test antibodies were 3334 chimeric antibody and 9 caninized antibodies.

[0089] Firstly, the Canine_PD-L1 aAPC CHO-K1 cell line as the target cell was plated in a 96-well cell plate at a density of 1E4 cells / well 16-24 h in advance. Then, 50 pL of the Canine_PD-1 Reporter Jurkat cell line as the effector cell at 2E6 cells / mL was incubated with 50 pL of 3334 chimeric antibody and caninized antibodies at serial concentrations for 1 h, respectively. After that, the culture media of the target cells in the 96-well cell plate were removed, the mixed solution of the above effector cells and antibodies was added, and the incubation was continued for 16 h. Finally, the suspension cells in the supernatant were taken, and 50 pL of ONE-Glo enzyme reaction substrate (Promega, E6120) was added. After incubation at room temperature in dark for 15 min, the fluorescence signal was detected on machine. The EC50 was calculated using Prism software.

[0090] The results were shown in Table 3 and FIG. 2, indicating that 3334 chimeric antibody and 9 caninized antibodies can effectively block the PD-1 / PD-L1 signalling pathway, and the EC50 value was 0.36-1.23 pg / mL.

[0092] 2. Further detection of in vitro biological activity of 3334 chimeric antibody and caninized antibodies using a T cell activation experiment Healthy adult Beagle dogs were selected to collect whole blood, and canine PBMCs were extracted by Ficoll (GE Healthcare, 17-1440-02) density gradient centrifugation. Canine PBMCs were added to a 96-well cell plate at a density of 4E5 cells / well, and 10 ng / mL staphylococcal enterotoxin B from Staphylococcus aureus (SEB, Toxin Technology, BT202) was added as a superantigen for stimulation. Simultaneously, negative control (canIgG B), 3334 chimeric antibody and caninized antibodies were added respectively, and incubated in a carbon dioxide incubator at 37°C for 72 h, and the cell supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The contents of cIFN-Y (R&D, DY781B) and cIL-2 (R&D, DY1815) in the supernatant were detected using an ELISA assay kit.

[0093] The results were shown in FIG. 3, the 3334 chimeric antibody and 9 caninized antibodies can increase the secretion of T cell cIFN-Y and cIL-2 at an in vitro level, and the difference was significant compared with the negative control. These results indicate that the 3334 antibodies can effectively block the inhibitory pathway of canine T cell activation (cPD-1 / cPD-L1 pathway) in vitro, thereby enhancing T cell activation, and these antibodies have biological activity.

[0094] Example 6 In vivo efficacy evaluation of 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody Previous validation showed that canine PD-1 can cross-bind to human PD-L1 (hPD-L1). Therefore, the colon cancer MC38 / hPD-L1 recombinant cell line was subcutaneously transplanted to female canine PD-1 C57BL / 6 transgenic mice for establishing an animal model for detection, to further evaluate the anti-tumor effect of 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B.

[0095] MC38 / hPD-L1 cells at the exponential growth phase were collected, and resuspended to 1E7 / mL in PBS buffer, and 0.1 mL of MC38 / hPD-L1 cells were subcutaneously inoculated on the right back of canine PD-1 C57BL / 6 transgenic mice, respectively. All animals were weighed and tumor volumes were measured with a vernier caliper, and when tumors grew to an average volume of 102.10 mm3, the animals were randomized according to tumor size and dosed. The experimental groups were negative control group (vehicle control), 3334 chimeric antibody group and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody group, with 6 mice in each group. On the day of grouping (day 0), the drug administration started, i.e. the corresponding antibodies were injected at 3 mg / kg via the tail vein of the mice in the antibody groups, and an equal volume of vehicle was injected via the tail vein of the mice in the negative control group. The administration frequency was 3 times a week for a total of 3 weeks. After the administration, the activities, food intake and water consumption, weight gain and loss, eyes, coat and some abnormal conditions of the experimental animals were observed every day, and the body weight and tumor size of the mice were measured three times a week. Tumor volume calculation formula: tumor volume (mm3) = 1 / 2 x (a x b2) (wherein a represents the long diameter and b represents the short diameter). The experiment was finished after 9 times of administration.

[0096] The anti-tumor effect of 3334 antibodies was evaluated using absolute tumor proliferation rate (T / C%) and absolute tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%). T / C% = Ti / Ci x 100%, TGI% = (Ci-Ti) / Cix100%, wherein Ti represents the average tumor volume of the administration group on day i, and Ci represents the average tumor volume of the negative control group on day i.

[0097] The results were shown in FIGS. 4-6. FIGS. 4 and 5 showed that the body weight of mice in each group increased during the administration period, and there was no significant difference in body weight changes between groups. Furthermore, there was no unexpected death of mice during the treatment, indicating that each administration group had good tolerance without significant toxic reactions. FIG. 6 showed the tumor growth of each group, in which the tumor growth rates of mice in the 3334 antibody group and the 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody group reduced significantly, as compared with the negative control group.

[0098] The statistical results of T / C% and TGI% after the last administration were shown in Table 4. Mice in both the 3334 chimeric antibody group and the 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody group survived on day 19, with mean tumor volumes of 1333.08 mm3 and 1044.91 mm3, respectively, and TGI of 55.54 and 65.15, respectively. There were statistically significant and extremely significant differences compared with the negative control group, respectively.

[0100] Example 7 In vivo efficacy evaluation of 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody in target animals This example serves to illustrate the therapeutic effect of 3334 and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B on canine malignant tumors.

[0101] A single-arm trial design was used. Animals were screened from a pet hospital in Beijing and 40 tumor-affected dogs seeking medical treatment (including 20 with melanoma and 20 with mast cell tumors) were enrolled. The efficacy of 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody in the treatment of malignant tumor-affected dogs was studied, respectively. The varieties of experimental dogs included: Schnauzer, Labrador, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, etc., with an average age of 12 years old (10-15 years old), all of which were dogs with advanced malignant tumors.

[0102] All diseased dogs were divided into two groups, 3334 chimeric antibody group and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B group, each group included 10 dogs with melanoma and 10 dogs with mast cell tumors. For all diseased dogs, the corresponding 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B antibody (diluted with normal saline for injection) were intravenously dripped at a dose of 5 mg / kg body weight, the administered was performed once every two weeks, for 8 consecutive times, and the trial was finished one week after the last administration. Tumor burden was assessed by gross examination and computed tomography, the tumor size was measured every two weeks to assess efficacy, and objective response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate and partial response (PR) rate were compared. ORR = number of diseased dogs with complete response and partial response / total number of diseased dogs x 100%; CR = number of diseased dogs with all detectable tumors disappeared / total number of diseased dogs x 100%; and PR = number of diseased dogs with sum of longest diameters of target lesions reduced by at least 30% / total number of diseased dogs x 100%.

[0103] The preliminary clinical therapeutic effects were shown in Table 5 below: both 3334 chimeric antibody and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B had better anti-tumor effect; and the therapeutic effect of 3334-H1K2-canIgG B was better than that of 3334 chimeric antibody.

[0104] Table 5 Clinical anti-tumor efficacy data of 3334 and 3334-H1K2-canIgG B Treatment group ORR CR Melanoma Mast cell tumor Melanoma Mast cell tumor 3334-canIgG B 40% (4 / 10) 30% (3 / 10) 10% (1 / 10) 0 3334-H1K2-canIgG B 60% (6 / 10) 50% (5 / 10) 30% (3 / 10) 10% (1 / 10)

[0105] It can be seen from the above results that the antibodies obtained from screening by the present invention have high affinity and high activity, and can be used to treat canine tumor diseases by blocking the binding of canine PD-1 to its ligand.
