1 / 101 “BIESPECIFIC ANTIBODY, ISOLATED NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE, RECOMBINANT VECTOR, HOST CELL, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION AND USE OF THE BIESPECIFIC ANTIBODY” Cross-reference to related applications
[001] This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202310327266.6, filed on March 29, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Field of invention
[002] This disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine and refers to a bispecific antibody, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the bispecific antibody and its use. Background of the Invention
[003] Tumors, especially malignant tumors, are serious and potentially fatal diseases in the world today, being the second leading cause of death among various diseases. In recent years, the incidence of the disease has increased significantly. Malignant tumors are characterized by poor therapeutic effect, a high rate of late metastasis, and a poor prognosis. Although conventional treatment methods (such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical treatment) currently adopted clinically significantly alleviate pain and prolong survival, these methods have major limitations, and it is difficult to further improve their effectiveness.
[004] Lymphocyte-activating gene 3 (LAG3), or CD223, is a type I transmembrane protein composed of 498 amino acids and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). LAG3 is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In addition, LAG3 is also expressed on cells such as natural killer (NK) cells, B cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). (Ruffo Elisa, Wu Richard C, Bruno Tullia C et al. Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3): The next immune Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 142 / 270 2 / 101 receiving checkpoint. [J]. Semin Immunol, 2019, 42: 101305).
[005] The LAG3 molecule gene is located on human chromosome 12 (12p13.3), adjacent to the CD4 molecule gene, and both share the same exons and introns. The LAG3 molecule and the CD4 molecule exhibit a high degree of structural similarity, although the amino acid sequence homology between the two is only about 20%. Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules, hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell lectin (LSECtin) molecules, and galectin-3 molecules are related ligands for the LAG3 molecule. MHCII molecules are the main ligands for LAG3. The affinity (Kd: 60 nmol L-1) of LAG3 molecules for MHC-II molecules is 100 times greater than that of CD4 molecules, indicating that LAG3 molecules can effectively compete with CD4 molecules for binding to MHC-II molecules and inhibit T cell activation.
[006] In the tumor microenvironment, the expression of the immunosuppressive molecule LAG3 can be detected 24 hours after T cell activation, leading to T cell dysfunction or apoptosis. The LAG3 molecule, through its D1 domain (which contains a proline-rich loop structure), forms a dimeric molecule to specifically bind to the MHC-II molecule in the first signaling axis of CD4+ T cell activation, CD3-TCRMHC-II, so that, in one aspect, a signal transduction pathway for T cell activation is blocked and, in another aspect, an intracellular segment of the LAG3 molecule (KIEELE motif) generates an immunosuppressive signal to negatively regulate CD4+ T cell activity. The LAG3 molecule can promote Treg cell differentiation, participate in downstream signaling of the signal transducer and transcription activator 5 and thus increase the inhibitory effect of Treg cells.This is one of the mechanisms by which tumors escape death by the immune system (Andrews Lawrence P,. Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 143 / 270 3 / 101 Marciscano Ariel E, Drake Charles G, et al., LAG3 (CD223) as a target for immunotherapy against cancer. [J]. Immunol Rev, 2017, 276: 80-96).
[007] Several studies have demonstrated that LAG3 is overexpressed in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells of various malignant tumors. For example, in ovarian cancer, tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells specific for New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1 (NY-ESO-1) express high levels of PD-1 and LAG3 and have a reduced capacity to produce IFN-γ and TNF-α, leading to lymphocyte inactivation. Galectin-3 and LSECtin interact primarily with LAG3 to regulate CD8+ T cell activation and function. Furthermore, melanoma antigen-specific T cells isolated from patients with metastatic melanoma show a significant upregulation in the expression of LAG3 and other immune checkpoint molecules CTLA-4 and TIM-3. (Liu Hao, Li Xinying, Luo Longlong et al.)Advances in research on the biological function of the lymphocyte-activating gene-3 (LAG-3) molecule and clinical application of drugs with antibodies targeting LAG-3 [J]. Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2019, 33(01): 70-78).
[008] Currently, several drugs with LAG3 antibodies have entered the clinical research phase, among which Relatlimab, from Bristol Myers Squibb, is the one that has progressed the most, with 10 clinical studies underway. The vast majority of these studies involve combination therapy of Relatlimab with nivolumab for the treatment of tumors such as hematological malignancies, melanoma, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer and similar cancers.
[009] Ecto-5'-nucleotidase, or CD73 protein, is a multifunctional glycoprotein encoded by an NT5E gene and with a protein molecular weight of 70 kDa. It is anchored to the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) (Zimmermann H. Biochem J. 1992; 285:345-365). Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 144 / 270 4 / 101
[010] CD73 is widely distributed on the surface of human tissue cells, and research has shown that its high expression occurs in various solid tumors, specifically in cancer cells, dendritic cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), natural killer cells (NK cells), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and similar cells, in a tumor microenvironment. An important characteristic of the tumor microenvironment is hypoxia. Hypoxia induces the upregulation of molecules such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), leading to widespread expression of CD73 in the tumor microenvironment (Synnestvedt K et al. J Clin Invest. 2002; 110:993-1002).Analysis of clinical tumor samples has shown that high CD73 expression is a potential biomarker and is closely related to poor prognosis in several types of tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and similar cancers.
[011] CD73 possesses both hydrolase and non-hydrolase activity. The enzymatic and non-enzymatic functions of CD73 act simultaneously in the tumor-related process and mutually promote and maintain tumor progression. Increasingly recent studies have demonstrated that CD73 is an essential regulatory molecule for the proliferation, metastasis, and invasion of tumor cells in vitro, as well as for tumor angiogenesis and the tumor immune escape mechanism in vivo, being an important immunosuppressive mechanism mediated by the CD73-adenosine metabolic signaling pathway. CD39, upstream of CD73, can catalyze ATP to generate adenosine monophosphate (AMP). The generated AMP is converted into adenosine by CD73, and adenosine binds to an adenosine receptor (A2AR) downstream.A2AR inhibits a series of signaling pathways related to immune activation, such as LCK, MAPK, and PKC, and inhibits the immunosuppressive effect of T cells by activating protein kinase A (PKA) and Csk kinase, playing a role in... Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 145 / 270 5 / 101 Thus, an immunosuppressive role that allows the tumor to achieve immune escape (Antonioli L, et al. Nat Rev Cancer. 2013; 13:842-857). Preclinical studies in animal models have demonstrated that CD73 expressed on immune and non-immune cells can promote immune escape, tumor progression and metastasis, with the inhibition of cytotoxic T cell (CTL) and NK cell functions by CD73-adenosine signals related to Treg cells being the most significant.
[012] For the treatment of solid tumors, an important aspect to overcome drug resistance and improve the therapeutic effect is to alleviate the inhibitory effect of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on immune effector cells. The TME is a very complex system composed of various cells, intercellular matrix, enzymes, cytokines, metabolites, etc. It has characteristics of significantly low hydrogen, low pH and high pressure, and is therefore very different from normal tissues. Hypoxia or ATP enrichment caused by chemoradiotherapy to kill tumor cells promotes the CD39-CD73 adenosine signaling cascade reaction, which is beneficial for the proliferation and function of various cancer-promoting cells, but not for cancer-inhibiting cells (Regateiro, FS, Cobbold, SP & Waldmann, H. Clin. Exp. Immunol. 2013; 171:1-7).
[013] The use of antibodies targeting CD73 or the elimination of the CD73 gene in animal models can effectively block tumor growth and metastasis. Recently, the use of CD73 monoclonal antibodies, small RNA interference technology, specific APCP inhibitors, and similar technologies has achieved remarkable therapeutic effects in antitumor treatment in animal experiments, providing a new form of antitumor treatment. Evidence from in vivo studies has demonstrated that targeted CD73 blockade will be an effective means of treatment for patients with tumors. Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 146 / 270 6 / 101
[014] The relationship between CD73 overexpression and tumor subtype, prognosis, and response in patients has demonstrated that CD73 may be an important marker for future tumor treatment and individual detection. Therefore, the study of the CD73 target is indispensable.
[015] Currently, there is a need to develop a new anti-LAG3 antibody and a bispecific antibody that targets both CD73 and LAG3. Brief Description of the Invention

Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 178 / 270 38 / 101 (14 days) or 3 weeks (21 days) and, preferably, the bispecific anti-LAG3-anti-CD73 antibody is administered intravenously on the first day (D1) of each cycle. For example, the bispecific anti-LAG3-anti-CD73 antibody is administered once every two weeks (q2w) or three weeks (q3w).
[059] However, it should be noted that the total daily dose of the drug (e.g., the pharmaceutical composition) or the pharmaceutically active ingredient (e.g., the bispecific anti-LAG3-antiCD73 antibody) of this disclosure should be determined by an attending physician within the scope of reliable medical judgment. For each specific patient, the specific therapeutically effective dose is determined based on a variety of factors, including the specific type and severity of the tumor to be treated, the specific formulation of the drug employed, the patient's age, body weight, general health status, sex and diet, the time of administration, the route of administration, the excretion rate, the duration of treatment, other drugs used concomitantly, and similar factors well known in the medical field.For example, practice in this area involves starting administration at doses below those needed to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increasing the dose until the desired effect is achieved.
[060] In this publication, unless otherwise defined, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings generally understood by specialists in the field. Furthermore, the laboratory operations of cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, and immunology used herein are routine procedures widely used in the corresponding fields. For a better understanding of this publication, definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.
[061] As used herein, the term EC50 refers to the concentration for 50% of the maximum effect, that is, the concentration that can Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 179 / 270 39 / 101 cause 50% of the maximum effect.
[062] As used herein, the term antibody refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that generally consists of two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair with a light chain (L) and a heavy chain (H)). Antibody light chains are classified into κ and λ light chains. Heavy chains are classified into μ, δ, γ, α, or ε. Antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE. In the light and heavy chains, the variable region and the constant region are linked by a J region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain further comprises a D region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a variable heavy chain region (VH) and a constant heavy chain region (CH). The constant heavy chain region consists of 3 domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a variable light chain region (VL) and a constant light chain region (CL).The constant region of the light chain consists of a CL domain. The constant region of the antibody can mediate the binding of immunoglobulins to tissues or host factors, including the binding of various immune system cells (e.g., effector cells) to the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can be subdivided into hypervariable regions (called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)), among which conservative regions called structure regions (FRs) are distributed. Each VH and VL consists of 3 CDRs and 4 FRs arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy chain / light chain pair form an antibody binding site. The amino acid assignment to the regions or domains is based on Bethesda MD., Kabat's Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk J. Mol. Biol., 1987; 196: 901-917; Chothia et al., Nature, 1989; 342: 878 Petition 870250099246, of 10 / 30 / 2025, p. 180 / 270. 40 / 101 883, or the definition of the IMGT numbering system, see the definition in Ehrenmann F, Kaas Q, Lefranc MP, IMGT / 3Dstructure-DB and IMGT / DomainGapAlign: a database and a tool for immunoglobulins or antibodies, T-cell receptors, MHC, IgSF and MhcSF[J]., Nucleic Acid Research, 2009; 38(suppl_1): D301-D307.
[063] The term antibody is not limited to any specific method for antibody production. For example, antibody includes recombinant antibody, monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody. The antibody may be an antibody of different isotypes, such as IgG (e.g., subtype IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE or IgM.
[064] As used herein, the terms “mAb” and “monoclonal antibody” refer to an antibody or antibody fragment derived from a group of highly homologous antibodies, that is, from a group of antibody molecules identical except for natural mutations that may occur spontaneously. The monoclonal antibody is highly specific for a single epitope on an antigen. The polyclonal antibody, in relation to the monoclonal antibody, generally comprises at least two or more different antibodies that generally recognize different epitopes on an antigen. Monoclonal antibodies can generally be obtained using hybridoma technology, first reported by Kohler et al. (Kohler G, Milstein C. Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity [J]. Nature, 1975; 256(5517): 495), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA technology (see, for example, U.S. Patent 4,816,567).
[065] As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to an antibody or antibody fragment obtained when all or part of the CDR regions of a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) are replaced by the CDR regions of a non-human antibody (donor antibody). Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 181 / 270 41 / 101 where the donor antibody may be a non-human antibody (e.g., mouse, rat, or rabbit) with expected specificity, affinity, or reactivity. Furthermore, some amino acid residues in the structural regions (FRs) of the recipient antibody may also be replaced by amino acid residues from the corresponding non-human antibodies or by amino acid residues from other antibodies to further improve or optimize antibody performance. For more details on humanized antibodies, see, for example, Jones et al., Nature, 1986; 321: 522-525; Reichmann et al., Nature, 1988; 332: 323-329; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 1992; 2: 593-596; and Clark, Immunol. Today, 2000; 21: 397-402.
[066] As used in this document, the term “isolate” refers to obtaining it by artificial means from a natural state. If a particular “isolated” substance or component is present in nature, it may have been altered from its natural environment, or it may have been isolated from the natural environment, or both. For example, a particular non-isolated polynucleotide or polypeptide occurs naturally in a particular living animal, and the same polynucleotide or polypeptide with high purity isolated from such a natural state is termed an isolated polynucleotide or polypeptide. The term “isolate” does not exclude the existence of artificial or synthetic substances or other impurities that do not affect the activity of the substance.
[067] As used in this document, the term “vector” refers to a nucleic acid carrier into which a polynucleotide can be inserted. When a vector allows the expression of the protein encoded by the inserted polynucleotide, the vector is called an expression vector. The vector can be introduced into a host cell by transformation, transduction, or transfection, so that the elements of the genetic substance carried by the vector can be expressed in the host cell. Vectors are well known to specialists in the field, including, among others: plasmids; Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 182 / 270 42 / 101 Phagemids; cosmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), or P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC); phages, such as λ phages or M13 phages; and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, among others, retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papovaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may comprise a variety of elements that control expression, including, among others, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. In addition, the vector may also comprise a replication initiation site.
[068] As used in this document, the term “host cell” refers to cells into which vectors can be introduced, including, but not limited to, prokaryotic cells such as E. coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast or Aspergillus cells, insect cells such as Drosophila S2 or Sf9 cells, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, CHO cells, GS cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, BHK cells, HEK 293 cells, or human cells.
[069] As used in this document, the term “specific binding” refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as a reaction between an antibody and an antigen to which it is directed. In some embodiments, an antibody that binds specifically to an antigen (or an antibody that is specific for an antigen) means that the antibody binds to the antigen with an affinity (KD) less than about 10-5 M, for example, less than about 10-6 M, 10-7 M, 10-8 M, 10-9 M or 10-10 M or less.
[070] As used in this document, the term “KD” refers to a dissociation equilibrium constant for a specific interaction. Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 183 / 270 The antibody-antigen ratio (KD) is used to describe the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. A smaller dissociation equilibrium constant indicates a stronger antibody-antigen bond and a higher affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Generally, antibodies bind to antigens (e.g., PD-1 protein) with a dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) less than about 10⁻⁵ M, such as less than about 10⁻⁶ M, 10⁻⁷ M, 10⁻⁸ M, 10⁻⁹ M, or 10⁻¹⁰ M or less. KD can be determined using methods known to experts in the field, for example, using a Fortebio molecular interaction instrument.
[071] As used herein, the terms monoclonal antibody and mAb have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms polyclonal antibody and pAb have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. In addition, in the present disclosure, amino acids are generally represented by one- or three-letter abbreviations known in the field. For example, alanine may be represented by A or Ala.
[072] As used in this document, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary material” refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, that is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995) and includes, among others, pH regulators, surfactants, adjuvants, and ionic strength enhancers. For example, pH regulators include, among others, phosphate buffer; surfactants include, among others, cationic, anionic, or non-ionic surfactants such as Tween-80; ionic strength enhancers include, among others, sodium chloride.
[073] As used in this document, the term “effective quantity” refers to a quantity sufficient to obtain, or at least obtain Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 184 / 270 44 / 101 partially, a desired effect. For example, a prophylactically effective amount against a disease (e.g., a tumor) refers to an amount sufficient to prevent, stop, or delay the development of the disease (e.g., a tumor); a therapeutically effective amount refers to an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially stop the disease and its complications in patients suffering from the disease. It is undoubtedly within the competence of specialists in the field to determine such an effective amount. For example, the effective amount for therapeutic purposes will depend on the severity of the disease to be treated, the general state of the patient's immune system, the patient's general condition such as age, body weight and sex, the route of administration and other treatments administered concomitantly, etc.
[074] As used in this document, when referring to the amino acid sequence of lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3), this includes the full length of the LAG3 protein, or the LAG3 ECD extracellular fragment of LAG3, or a fragment comprising LAG3 ECD, and also includes a full-length fusion protein of the LAG3 protein or a fusion protein of LAG3 ECD, such as a fragment fused to a mouse or human IgG Fc protein fragment (mFc or hFc). However, those skilled in the art will recognize that mutations or variations (including, but not limited to, substitutions, deletions, and / or additions) in the amino acid sequence of the LAG3 protein may occur naturally or be artificially introduced without affecting its biological functions. Therefore, in this disclosure, the term “LAG3” or “LAG3 protein” will include all such sequences, including their natural or artificial variants.Furthermore, when describing a sequence fragment of the LAG3 protein, it also includes the corresponding sequence fragments in their natural or artificial variants.
[075] As used here, when referring to the sequence of Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 185 / 270 45 / 101 amino acids of CD73, includes the full length of the CD73 protein, or the CD73 ECD extracellular fragment of CD73, or a fragment comprising CD73 ECD, and also includes a full-length CD73 protein fusion protein or a CD73 ECD fusion protein, as a fragment fused to a murine or human IgG Fc protein fragment (mFc or hFc). However, those skilled in the art will understand that mutations or variations (including, but not limited to, substitutions, deletions and / or additions) may occur naturally or artificially introduced in the amino acid sequence of the CD73 protein without affecting its biological functions. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the term “CD73” or “CD73 protein” shall include all such sequences, including their natural or artificial variants. Furthermore, when describing a sequence fragment of the CD73 protein, it shall also include the corresponding sequence fragments in their natural or artificial variants.
[076] In this disclosure, the terms “first” (e.g., first protein functional region or first ligand) and “second” (e.g., second protein functional region or second ligand) are used for purposes of distinction or clarity of expression and have no typical sequential meanings unless otherwise specified.

Example of Preparation 2: Preparation of Human Anti-Lysozyme Antibody from Chicken Eggs
[0153] The human anti-chicken egg lysozyme IgG antibody sequence (anti-HEL, or human IgG, abbreviated as hIgG) was derived from the variable region sequence of the Fab F10.6.6 sequence. In the study reported by Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pages 201 / 270 61 / 101 Acierno et al., entitled “Affinity maturation increases the stability and plasticity of the Fv domain of anti-protein antibodies” (Acierno et al., J Mol Biol., 2007; 374(1): 130-46), the preparation method was as follows: Nanjing GenScript Biotech was tasked with performing amino acid codon optimization and gene synthesis on heavy and light chain genes (complete sequence or variable region) of the human IgG antibody. Consulting the standard technologies presented in the Handbook of Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Third Edition) and using standard molecular cloning techniques such as PCR, enzymatic digestion, DNA gel extraction, ligation transformation, colony PCR, or identification by enzymatic digestion, the heavy and light chain genes were subcloned into the antibody heavy chain expression vector and the antibody light chain expression vector of the mammalian expression system, respectively. The heavy and light chain genes of the recombinant expression vectors were subsequently sequenced and analyzed.After verifying sequence correctness, a medium to large quantity of endotoxin-free expression plasmids was prepared, and the heavy and light chain expression plasmids were transiently co-transfected into HEK293 cells for recombinant antibody expression. After 7 days of culture, cell culture solutions were collected and subjected to affinity purification on an rProtein A (GE) column, and the quality of the resulting antibody sample was determined using standard SDSPAGE and SEC-HPLC analytical techniques. Unless otherwise indicated, hIgG1, hIgG1DM, and hIgG4WT used in this disclosure were anti-HEL isotype control antibodies with constant region sequences of hIgG1, hG1DM, and hG4WT, respectively, prepared in the laboratory of Akeso Biopharma Inc.

The heavy and light chains isolated by electrophoresis were subcloned separately into pcDNA3 vectors, and recombinant plasmids were extracted for cotransfection into 293F cells. After 7 days of cell culture, the culture solution was separated by high-speed centrifugation, and the supernatant was concentrated and loaded onto a HiTrap MabSelect SuRe column. The protein was eluted in a single step with an elution buffer. The target sample was isolated, and the buffer was exchanged in PBS. Example 1: Anti-LAG3 Antibody Binding Activity Assays for Antigen by ELISA
[0189] An ELISA plate was coated with 2 μg / mL of human LAG3mG1Fc and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The antigen-coated ELISA plate was then washed once with PBST and blocked with a PBS solution containing 1% BSA (blocking solution) at 37 °C for 2 h. After blocking, the ELISA plate was washed 3 times with PBST. Serially diluted antibodies with PBST solution (dilution gradients for the antibodies are shown in Table 2) were added. The ELISA plate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min and then washed 3 times with PBST. After washing, a working solution of HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgG (H+L) secondary antibody (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-035-088), diluted 1:5000, was added, and the plate was then incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. After incubation, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST.Color development was then performed with TMB (Neogen, 308177) in the dark for 5 min, and a stopping solution was added to interrupt the color development reaction. The ELISA plate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD at a wavelength of 450 nm in each well of the ELISA plate was measured. The data were analyzed and processed using SoftMax Pro 6.2.1 software. Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 214 / 270 74 / 101

LAG3 antibody dilutions prepared using 1% PBSA (PBS containing 1% BSA) at final concentrations of 0.0123 nM, 0.123 nM, 1.23 nM, 3.7 nM, 11.1 nM, 33.3 nM, 100 nM, and 300 nM, respectively, were incubated with 293T-LAG3 cells expressing LAG3 on ice for 1 h. After centrifugation and repeated washing with 1% PBSA, 100 μL of FITC goat anti-human IgG antibody (acquired from Jackson, Cat. No. 109-095-098) (diluted 1:300) were added to each tube, and the mixture was incubated on ice in the dark for 40 minutes. After washing with 1% PBSA, 200 μL of 1% PBSA were added to resuspend the cells. Fluorescence signals were detected using the FITC channel in a flow cytometer.
[0193] The results of the binding of humanized anti-LAG3 antibodies to 293T-LAG3 cells are shown in Figure 2. The EC50 values for the binding of anti-LAG3 antibodies to the antigen on the surface of the Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pages 216 / 270 76 / 101 cells 293T-LAG3 are shown in Table 4. Table 4. Results of assays for the binding activity of anti-LAG3 antibodies to the antigen on the surface of 293T-LAG3 cells by flow cytometry.

[0194] As can be seen in Figure 2, the anti-LAG3 antibodies were able to bind effectively to the target LAG3 protein on the surface of the 293T-LAG3 cell, and the binding activity of the anti-LAG3 antibodies H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT) and H9L10(hG4WT) to the antigen on the surface of the 293T-LAG3 cell was comparable to that of the positive control antibody Relatlimab. Example 3: Assays for Anti-LAG3 Antibodies Competing with MHC II on the Raji Cell Membrane Surface for Binding to Human Fc LAG3mG1 Antigen by Competitive Flow Cytometry
[0195] Raji cells (medium: 1640 + 10% FBS) (Cell Resource Center, Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cat. No. TCHu 44) were added to EP tubes at 300,000 cells per sample. 1000 μL of 1% PBSA (PBS containing 1% BSA) was added. The mixture was centrifuged at 600 χ g for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 100 μL of hIgG1 (prepared by Akeso Biopharma Inc., Lot No. 20190410) at a final concentration of 300 nM was added to each tube, and the mixture was incubated on ice for 1 h; 200 μL of 1% PBSA were added to Raji cells after incubation, and the mixture was centrifuged at 600 χ²g for 5 min, followed by removal of the supernatant. According to the experimental design, antibodies diluted to the corresponding concentrations were added to additional clean EP tubes at 60 μL / tube. 60 μL of human LAG3-mG1Fc (prepared by Akeso Biopharma Inc., Lot No. 20190508) were... Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 217 / 270 77 / 101 added to each corresponding antibody tube, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed and pre-incubated on ice for 30 min, so that the final antibody concentrations were 300 nM, 100 nM, 33.3 nM, 11.1 nM, 3.7 nM, 1.23 nM, 0.123 nM, and 0.0123 nM. The final concentration of human LAG3-mG1Fc was 3 nM. 100 μL of the pre-incubated antibody and protein mixture were added to the cells. The resulting mixture was thoroughly mixed and incubated on ice in the dark for 1 h; 200 μL of 1% PBSA were added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 600 x g for 5 min, followed by removal of the supernatant, and then the pellet was washed twice; 100 μL of an anti-mouse APC antibody (acquired from Biolegend, Cat.No. 405308) (diluted in a 1:400 ratio) were added, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed and incubated on ice in the dark for 40 min; 200 μL of 1% PBSA were added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 600 xg for 5 min, followed by removal of the supernatant; 200 μL of 1% PBSA were added to each tube to resuspend the cells, and then the suspension was transferred to a sample loading tube for analysis in a flow cytometer.
[0196] The results are presented in Figure 3 and Table 5. Through fluorescence analysis and curve fitting, the EC50 values for the competitive binding of the antibodies Relatlimab, H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT) and H9L10(hG4WT) were calculated to be 1.153 nM, 1.459 nM, 1.482 nM and 1.435 nM, respectively. Table 5. Results of the fluorescence intensity analysis of Relatlimab, H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT), and H9L10(hG4WT) in competition with MHC II on the surface of Raji cells for binding to human LAG3mG1 Fc antigen by FACS.

Assays for the biological activity of anti-LAG3 antibodies in promoting IFN-γ secretion in the Raji-PDLI mixed lymphocyte reaction system.
[0198] Raji-PDL1 cells were conventionally subcultured. PBMCs (from healthy donors) were thawed, cultured in 10 mL of complete medium 1640, and stimulated with SEB (staphylococcal enterotoxin B) (Dianotech, Cat. No. S010201) at 0.5 μg / mL for two days. Raji-PDL1 cells were treated with MMC (Stressmarq, Cat. No. SIH-246-10MG) at a working concentration of 2 μg / mL and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 1 h; PBMCs stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL1 cells treated with MMC for 1 h were collected, washed twice with PBS, and then resuspended in complete medium (i.e., RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS) and counted. PBMCs and Raji-PDL1 cells were added separately to a 96-well U-shaped plate (Corning, Model No. 3799) at 10 χ 104 cells / well and co-cultured.According to the experimental design, the antibodies (the final concentrations of each antibody were 300 nM, 30 nM, and 3 nM when used alone or in combination) were added and co-cultured with the cells in an incubator for 3 days; after 3 days, the cells were centrifuged at 250 χ² g for 5 min, and the cell culture supernatant was collected and analyzed for IFN-γ by ELISA.
[0199] As shown in Figure 4, the mixed culture of PBMCs Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 219 / 270 79 / 101 human and Raji-PDL1 cells promoted IFN-γ secretion in PBMCs, and the addition of antibodies to the mixed culture system can significantly induce additional IFN-γ secretion in PBMCs. In terms of the level of activity in promoting IFN-γ secretion, the anti-LAG3 antibodies H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT), and H9L10(hG4WT), each in combination with 14C12H1L1(hG1TM), and the positive control antibody Relatlimab in combination with 14C12H1L1(hG1TM), were all able to promote IFN-γ secretion, with comparable activities. 2. Assays for the biological activity of anti-LAG3 antibodies in promoting IL-2 secretion in the RAJI-PDL1 mixed lymphocyte reaction system.
[0200] Raji-PDL1 cells were conventionally subcultured. PBMCs were thawed, cultured in 10 mL of complete medium 1640, and stimulated with SEB (staphylococcal enterotoxin B, acquired from Dianotech, Cat. No. S010201) at 0.5 μg / mL for two days. Raji-PDL1 cells were treated with MMC (Stressmarq, Cat. No. SIH-246-10MG) at a working concentration of 2 μg / mL and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 1 h. PBMCs stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL1 cells treated with MMC for 1 h were collected, washed twice with PBS, and then resuspended in complete medium (i.e., RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS) and counted. PBMCs and Raji-PDL1 cells were added separately to a 96-well U-shaped plate (Corning, Model No. 3799) at 10 x 10⁴ cells / well and co-cultured.According to the experimental design, the antibodies (the final concentrations of each antibody were 300 nM, 30 nM, and 3 nM when used alone or in combination) were added and co-cultured with the cells for 3 days; after 3 days, the cells were centrifuged at 250 xg for 5 min, and the cell culture supernatant was collected and analyzed for IL-2 by ELISA.
[0201] As shown in Figure 5, the mixed culture of PBMCs Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pages 220 / 270 Human 80 / 101 cells (from healthy donors) and Raji-PDL1 cells promoted IL-2 secretion in PBMCs to some extent, and the addition of antibodies to the mixed culture system could significantly induce additional IL-2 secretion in PBMCs, exhibiting a significant dose-dependent relationship. In terms of the level of activity in promoting IL-2 secretion, the anti-LAG3 antibodies H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT), and H9L10(hG4WT), each in combination with 14C12H1L1(hG1TM), and the positive control antibody Relatlimab in combination with 14C12H1L1(hG1TM), all could promote IL-2 secretion, with comparable activities. Example 5: Assays for Evaluating the Biological Activity of Anti-LAG3 Antibodies in Blocking the Interaction between LAG3 and MHC-II (Method of Gene (Reporter)
[0202] Jurkat-NFAT-PD1-LAG3 cells and Raji cells were used as a reporter gene system. After the addition of a SEE superantigen, a TCR-NFAT signaling pathway was activated to induce luciferase expression. LAG3 in Jurkat cells bound to MHC-II in Raji cells, so that the NFAT signaling pathway was inhibited and luciferase expression was downregulated. The antibody, by specifically binding to LAG3, relieved the inhibition and increased luciferase expression.
[0203] Jurkat-NFAT-PD1-LAG3 cells and Raji cells (acquired from the Cell Resource Center, Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cat. No. TCHu 44) were collected and centrifuged at 110 xg for 5 min, followed by removal of the supernatant. The cells were then resuspended in a 1640 + 10% FBS medium and counted. Jurkat-NFAT-PD1-LAG3 cells were seeded in a 96-well black-bottom plate (Corning, Model No. 3916) at 10⁵ cells / well (30 μL / well); according to the experimental design, antibodies (at final concentrations of 0.3 nM, 3 nM, and 300 nM) were added at 10 μL / well, and the mixture was pre-incubated at 37 Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 221 / 270 81 / 101 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 30 min. Meanwhile, SEE (Staphylococcal Enterotoxins E, acquired from Toxin Technology, Cat. No. ET404) (at a final concentration of 0.05 ng / mL) was added to the Raji cells, and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 30 min. After 30 min, the SEE-treated Raji cells were added to the 96-well plate containing Jurkat-NFAT-PD1-LAG3 cells described above at 2 χ¹⁰⁴ cells / well (40 μL / well), with the final volume of each well being 80 μL. The mixture was thoroughly mixed and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 6 h. After incubation, the culture plate was removed and allowed to reach room temperature. The Bright-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System (purchased from Promega, Cat. No. E2650) was added at 80 μL / well, and the mixture was incubated in the dark for 2 min. Then, the URL values were read. The hG4WT(hIgG4) isotypic control was manufactured by Akeso Biopharma Inc., Lot No. 20190910.
[0204] As shown in Figure 6, the anti-LAG3 antibodies H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT), H9L10(hG4WT) and the positive control antibody Relatlimab were able to block the interaction between LAG3 and MHC-II and thus increase luciferase expression. The activities of the anti-LAG3 antibodies H9L8(hG4WT), H9L9(hG4WT) and H9L10(hG4WT) were superior to those of the control antibody Relatlimab.

Tests for binding activity of LA5EV1, LA5EV2, NTLAV2, NTLAV7 and NTLAV8 for NT5E-His antigen by indirect ELISA.
[0205] The specific method was as follows: An ELISA plate was coated with 1 μg / mL of NT5E-His and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The antigen-coated ELISA plate was then washed once with PBST and blocked with a PBS solution. Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pp. 222 / 270 82 / 101 containing 1% BSA (blocking solution) at 37 °C for 2 h. After blocking, the ELISA plate was washed 3 times with PBST. Serially diluted antibodies with PBST solution (dilution gradients for the antibodies are shown in Tables 6 to 8) were added. The ELISA plate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min and then washed 3 times with PBST. After washing, a working solution of HRP-labeled FC (H+L) anti-human goat IgG secondary antibody (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-035-098), diluted 1:5000, was added, and the plate was then incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. After incubation, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST. The color development was then carried out with TMB (Neogen, 308177) in the dark for 5 min, and a stopping solution was added to interrupt the color development reaction.The ELISA plate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD at a wavelength of 450 nm in each well of the ELISA plate was measured. The data were analyzed and processed using SoftMax Pro 6.2.1 software.
[0206] The results are shown in Tables 6 to 8 and Figures 7 to 9 and Tables 9 to 11 (referring to Figures 7 to 9, respectively).
[0207] The results indicate that, under the same experimental conditions, LA5EV1, LA5EV2, NTLAV2, NTLAV7, NTLAV8 and 19F3H2L3(hG1DM) could effectively bind to the NT5E-His antigen in a dose-dependent manner.

The ELISA plate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min and then washed 3 times with PBST. After washing, a working solution of FC (H+L) secondary antibody anti-human goat IgG labeled with HRP (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-035-098), diluted in a 1:5000 ratio, was added, and the plate was then incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. After incubation, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST.Color development was then performed with TMB (Neogen, 308177) in the dark for 5 min, and a stopping solution was added to interrupt the color development reaction. The ELISA plate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD at a wavelength of 450 nm in each well of the ELISA plate was measured. The data were analyzed and processed using SoftMax Pro 6.2.1 software.

[0228] The groups in the experiment were defined as follows: ATP control group, AMP + ATP control group, negative control group (cells + AMP + ATP), APCP control group (cells + APCP + AMP + ATP), isotypic control group (cells + isotypic control antibody + AMP + ATP), and antibody group (cells + corresponding antibody + AMP + ATP).
[0229] ATP refers to adenosine triphosphate, AMP refers to adenosine monophosphate and APCP refers to α,β-methylene adenosine-5'-bisphosphate, which is a specific inhibitor of CD73.
[0230] Logarithmic-phase, good-condition U87-MG cells (ATCC, Cat. No. HTB-14) were collected, resuspended in analytical medium (i.e., a serum-free RPMI-1640 culture solution), and counted. U87-MG cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at 2.5 χ¹⁰⁴ cells / 60 μE / well. 120 μM of APCP and diluted antibodies (initial concentration of 300 nM, diluted in a 3-fold gradient (10-fold dilution of the last two low concentrations)) were prepared in analytical medium. The APCP or diluted antibodies described above were added to the 96-well plate at 60 μE / well, and the plate was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Then, [the text abruptly ends here, so the translation stops here as well.] Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pages 236 / 270 96 / 101 AMP (AMP was acquired from TCI, Cat. No. A0158) was diluted with an analytical medium to a concentration of 600 μM at 60 μL / well, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed and incubated for 3 h. After 3 h, 100 μL of cell culture supernatant were removed from each well and transferred to a new 96-well plate, to which CTG (CellTiter-Glo® One Solution Assay) (Promega, Cat. No. G8461) was added at 40 μL / well. The plate was gently tapped to mix well and left to stand in the dark at room temperature for 5 min. After 5 min of rest, ATP (5'-ATP 2Na Hydrate, acquired from TCI, Cat. No. A0157) was added at a concentration of 300 μM, prepared with TM buffer (prepared by Akeso Biopharma Inc.), at 10 μL / well. The plate was gently tapped to mix well and left to stand in the dark, at room temperature, for 5 min. Finally, the data were read on a multi-label microplate assay instrument (PerkinElmer, Model No. 2140-0020).
[0231] The experimental results are presented in Table 23 and Figure 30. The results demonstrate that the anti-CD73-antiLAG3 antibodies LA5EV2, NTLAV2, and NTLAV8 and the positive control drug MEDI9447 for the CD73 target were able to inhibit, in a dose-dependent manner, the enzymatic activity of CD73 endogenously expressed by U87-MG to catalyze the conversion of AMP to adenosine, thus reducing the URL (URL) value of the mean fluorescence intensity in a dose-dependent manner; LA5EV2 and NTLAV8 exhibited stronger activity in inhibiting the enzymatic activity of CD73 than MEDI9447.

[0236] The results are shown in Figure 32.
[0237] The results show that the antibody 19F3H2L2(G1WT), targeting only CD73, was able to promote phagocytosis of CHO-K1-CD73-LAG3 cells by macrophages (MBMMs) and had an ADCP effect, while the anti-CD73-anti-LAG3 antibodies LA5EV2 and NTLAV8 did not have an ADCP effect. Example 14: Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of the Bispecific Anti-CD73-Anti-LAG3 Antibody in a Mouse Model Subcutaneously Grafted with Tumor Cells
[0238] To determine the in vivo antitumor activity of the bispecific anti-CD73-anti-LAG3 antibody, MIA-PaCa-2 cells (acquired from the Cell Bank of the China Types Culture Collection Center) were first subcutaneously inoculated into 6-7 week old female NCG mice (acquired from Guangdong GemPharmatech Co., Ltd.). The day of Petition 870250099246, dated 10 / 30 / 2025, pages 240 / 270 The 100 / 101 grouping was defined as D0. The route of administration was intraperitoneal (IP) injection, once a week, totaling 4 doses. The specific dosing regimen and modeling are shown in Table 24. After administration, the length and width of the tumors in each group were measured, and the tumor volume was calculated. The tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: long tumor diameter χ² / short tumor diameter². The data were processed using GraphPad Prism 5 statistical processing software.
