Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an isolated T cell receptor (TCR) that specifically binds to an allelic form of minor histocompatibility antigen 1 (HA-1), and a polypeptide comprising a functional portion of the TCR. It also relates to a multivalent TCR complex, a nucleic acid encoding the TCR, a cell expressing the TCR, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the TCR. The present invention also relates to the use of the TCR as a drug, and in particular to the use of the TCR in the treatment of cancer. Background Art

[0002] Over the past 50 years, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been successfully used as first-line treatments for many malignant and non-malignant diseases, such as severe aplastic anemia and leukemia. During BMT or HSCT, the patient receives hematopoietic cells (i.e., hematopoietic stem cells) from a healthy donor after the patient's own hematopoietic cell system has been destroyed by sublethal whole-body irradiation or high-dose cytotoxic drugs. The donor's stem cells can be derived from the donor's bone marrow, or they can be part of a stem cell transplant of donor-mobilized hematopoietic stem cells. This approach is called allogeneic because the transplanted cells are derived from a non-autologous source, i.e., a healthy, genetically non-identical donor.

[0003] One mode of failure of allogeneic BMT or HSCT is due to host rejection of the graft, also known as host-versus-graft disease (HvGD), in which residual immune cells of the patient that escaped destruction during a pre-transplant regimen of sublethal irradiation or cytotoxic drugs identify the transplanted donor cells as "foreign" and subsequently elicit an immune response, resulting in rejection of the transplanted bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells.

[0004] Another even more serious form of failure of BMT / HSCT is the so-called "graft versus host disease" (GvHD), which is actually a reaction of transplanted immune cells derived from the bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells transplanted from the donor to the patient's (recipient) somatic cells. GvHD is mainly due to the differences in the MHC molecules expressed by all nucleated somatic cells and platelets. MHC stands for major histocompatibility complex molecules, of which two main classes are known. MHC class I molecules that present or display peptide fragments of cytoplasmic proteins play a major role in GvHD. In humans, MHC is also referred to as the HLA complex (human leukocyte antigen complex) and is located on chromosome 6.

[0005] HLA complex is polygenic and based on highly polymorphic genes, which means that there are many different alleles (alternative forms of the same gene) in different individuals of a colony. Each human cell expresses six different MHC class I alleles (from one HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C allele of each parent) and six to eight other MHC class II alleles. In the case of BMT and HSCT, the MHC molecule itself may serve as an antigen, that is, it may be identified as "exogenous" by the immune cells of the donor. Therefore, GvHD reactions are mainly based on the mismatch of the HLA / MHC molecule expression of the donor and the recipient. Therefore, the most important thing is to select the donor to have a minimum mismatch in terms of MHC class I and class II phenotypes, so that the risk of GvHD is minimized.

[0006] Even if the donor and patient are matched as closely as possible in terms of their MHC I / II genotype, more than 50% of all patients still suffer from GvHD. One possible way to prevent patients from developing GvHD is to remove T cells from the graft using, for example, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies or other antibodies specific for mature T cells, because the donor's T cells induce GvHD by recognizing the patient's HLA molecules that are different from the donor's pool. Although BMT and HSCT are currently performed in an HLA-matched setting, GvHD still occurs in a large number of patients, creating a need to overcome this problem.

[0007] This is probably due to the mismatch in the so-called minor histocompatibility antigen (MiHA), which is inherited independently of the HLA gene. In the past few years, a large number of MiHA have been identified (Frontiers in Immunology, Vol. 7, Chapter 100, March 2016), which can be encoded by male-specific Y chromosomes (HY antigens) or other chromosomes (autosomal MiHA). In autosomal MiHA, the antigens referred to as HA-1, HA-2, HA-3, HA-4 and HA-5 are the earliest discovered antigens, and all of these antigens are presented in the context of HLA-A1 (HA-3) or in the context of HLA-A2 (HA-1, HA-2, HA-4 and HA-5). It is also known that the SNP variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms) of the MiHA limiting HA-1 are expressed in 69% of patients expressing HLA-A2, while HA-2 can be detected in 95%, HA-4 in 16% and HA-5 in about 7% of the population. In contrast, HA-3 presented in the context of HLA-A1 was found in 88% of patients expressing HLA-A1 (N Engl J Med. 1996 Feb 1;334(5):281-5).

[0008] Because HA-1 is almost only expressed on hematopoietic cells and cancer cells, it represents a promising tumor-specific target for adoptive T cell therapy (ACT). Previously, HA-1 specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) restricted by HLA-A2 have been successfully isolated or produced (Haematologica. October 2005; 90 (10): 1415-21). HA-1 includes an epitope in the form of a nine peptide with an amino acid sequence of VLHDDLLEA (SEQ ID NO: 2) (Science. February 13, 1998; 279 (5353): 1054-7), and is derived from an allele (SNP variant) of the HMHA1 (KIAA0223) gene (rs number: rs1801284). The HMHA1 locus includes two alleles, HA-1H and HA-1R, which are different at two nucleotides, resulting in a single amino acid replacement. The second nonapeptide epitope, VLRDDLLEA (SEQ ID NO: 4; Science Feb. 13, 1998: Vol. 279, No. 5353, pp. 1054-1057), is inefficiently presented by HLA-A*02:01. Due to allelic polymorphism and Mendelian segregation patterns, an individual can be homozygous for HA-1 H / H , heterozygous HA-1 H / R or homozygous HA-1 R / R . Summary of the invention

[0009] It is an object of the present invention to provide a T cell receptor that specifically binds to only one allelic variant of MiHA HA-1.

[0010] The present invention relates to the regulation of only one allelic form of HA-1 (i.e., HA-1 H ) has a specific T cell receptor (TCR). In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a method for HA-1 presented by HLA-A2 molecules or in the context of HLA-A2 molecules is disclosed. H T cell receptors with binding specificity. The present invention also relates to TCRs for use as drugs or for use in the treatment of malignant tumors. TCRs can be used, for example, in patients with BMT / HSCT whose HA-1H allele (presenting the peptide VLHDDLLEA on a suitable MHC / HLA molecule) is homozygous (i.e., the patient is HA-1 H / H ) or heterozygous (ie, HA-1 H / R ) and the donor is homozygous for the R allele (ie, HA-1 R / R ) and a portion of the donor T cells have been isolated and transduced with one of the TCRs of the invention and thus express HA-1 HThe transduced donor T cells are infused into the patient, and the patient and donor are otherwise HLA identical or HLA matched. H Recombinant donor T cells with specific TCR detect and eliminate (through cytotoxic activity) HA-1 expressed in the context of appropriate MHC / HLA molecules H It is also contemplated that preservation of such HA-1 H Another aspect of the invention is the use of the TCR of the invention or recombinant T cells expressing the TCR of the invention for pretreatment therapy in patients who are scheduled for BMT / HSCT. By using the TCR of the invention or recombinant T cells expressing such HA-1 H Recombinant T cells expressing specific TCRs can replace or support sublethal radiation by infusing such recombinant T cells, which are alloreactive to the patient's hematopoietic cells due to the recombinant expression of the TCRs of the present invention and can therefore eradicate HA-1 in the context of HLA-A2. H Immune cells. T cells can be derived from the donor of BMT / HSCT.

[0054] TCR Background

[0055] TCR is composed of two different and separate protein chains, namely TCR alpha (α) and TCR beta (β) chains. The TCR α chain contains a variable region (V), a connecting region (J) and a constant region (C). The TCR β chain contains a variable region (V), a multivariable region (D), a connecting region (J) and a constant region (C). The rearranged V (D) J region of both the TCR α chain and the TCR β chain contains a hypervariable region (CDR, complementary determining region), of which the CDR3 region determines specific epitope recognition. In the C-terminal region, both the TCR α chain and the TCR β chain contain a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and terminate in a short cytoplasmic tail region.

[0056] Typically, TCR is a heterodimer of an α chain and a β chain that can bind to a peptide-presenting MHC molecule.

[0057] In the context of the present invention, the term "variable TCR alpha region" or "TCR alpha variable chain" or "variable domain" refers to the variable region of the TCR alpha chain. In the context of the present invention, the term "variable TCR beta region" or "TCR beta variable chain" refers to the variable region of the TCR beta chain.

[0058] The International Immunogenetics (IMGT) TCR nomenclature was used (IMGT Database, www.IMGT.org; Giudicelli, V., et al., IMGT / LIGM-DB, Immunoglobulin and T Cell Receptor Nucleotide Sequences, TCR loci and genes are named in the comprehensive database, Nucl. Acids Res., 34, D781-D784 (2006). PMID: 16381979; T cell Receptor Factsbook, LeFranc and LeFranc, Academic Press ISBN 0-12-441352-8).

[0059] Target

[0060] A first aspect of the present invention relates to an isolated TCR specific for an allelic variant of HA-1. The allelic variant is of the type of a single nucleotide polymorphism.

[0061] In particular, the TCR specifically recognizes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 (VLHDDLLEA).

[0062] Typically, TCRs recognize peptide fragments of antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.

[0063] The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system or complex is a complex of genes in the human body that encodes major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. HLA-A*02 is a specific class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) allele group at the HLA-A locus. HLA-A*02:01 is a specific HLA-A*02 suballele.

[0064] Therefore, in a specific embodiment, the TCR specifically recognizes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, which is presented by an MHC molecule encoded by the HLA-A*02 allele, preferably a molecule encoded by HLA-A*02:01 or a molecule encoded by HLA-A*02:06, and more preferably a molecule encoded by HLA-A02:01.

[0065] TCR for HA-1 H Highly specific and to other peptides, especially allelic variants of HA-1 R Essentially no cross-reactivity. This means that it does not recognize HA-1 allelic variations. In other words, it does not recognize the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4. Cross-reactivity can be measured by IFN-γ secretion as described herein.

[0066] In the context of the present invention, the term "specific for" refers to the specific binding of the TCR to the target.

[0067] As used herein, the terms "allelic variation" and "allelic form" are synonymous.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the recognition motif of TCR comprises at least the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 127. In a specific embodiment, the recognition motif of TCR consists of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 127. The recognition motif can be determined by serine substitution.

[0069] The recognition motif defines the amino acids of the epitope that influence TCR activation, for example as determined in an IFN-γ secretion assay. In particular, the influence of amino acid residues in the binding epitope can be determined by amino acid substitution scanning, for example serine scanning.

[0070] In serine scanning, epitope peptides in which each individual amino acid residue is successively replaced by serine are used. If the peptide causes a significant reduction in TCR activation, such as determined by IFN-γ secretion, it is shown that the replaced position belongs to a recognition motif. Significant reduction can be at least 3 times, preferably at least 5 times, more preferably at least 10 times the reduction in IFN-γ secretion compared to an unsubstituted peptide sequence (i.e., an unsubstituted epitope).

[0132] As can be seen from the examples, the TCR according to the present invention is effective for HA-1 H It is specific and shows only very low cross-reactivity to other epitopes or antigens.

[0133] Vector NTI Advance is preferred TM The determination of percent identity between multiple sequences was accomplished using the AlignX application of the 10 program (Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad CA, USA). This program uses a modified ClustalW algorithm (Thompson et al., 1994. Nucl Acids Res. 22: pp. 4673-4680; Invitrogen Corporation; Vector NTI Advance TM 10 DNA and protein sequence analysis software. User's Manual, 2004, pp. 389-662). The determination of percent identity was performed using the standard parameters of the AlignX application.

[0134] The TCR according to the present invention is isolated or purified. In the context of the present invention, "isolated" means that the TCR is not present in the environment in which it naturally occurs in nature. In the context of the present invention, "purified" means that, for example, the TCR does not contain or is substantially free of other proteins and non-protein parts of the cell from which it originally originated.

[0135] In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of a TCR may contain one or more phenotypically silent substitutions.

[0136] "Phenotypic silent substitutions" are also referred to as "conservative amino acid substitutions". The concept of "conservative amino acid substitutions" is understood by those skilled in the art, and preferably refers to codons encoding positively charged residues (H, K and R) being replaced with codons encoding positively charged residues, codons encoding negatively charged residues (D and E) being replaced with codons encoding negatively charged residues, codons encoding neutral polar residues (C, G, N, Q, S, T and Y) being replaced with codons encoding neutral polar residues, and codons encoding neutral non-polar residues (A, F, I, L, M, P, V and W) being replaced with codons encoding neutral non-polar residues. These variations can occur spontaneously, be introduced by random mutagenesis, or can be introduced by directed mutagenesis. These changes can be made without destroying the essential characteristics of these polypeptides. Ordinary technicians can easily and routinely screen amino acid variants and / or nucleic acids encoding them by methods known in the art to determine whether these variants substantially reduce or destroy ligand binding ability.

[0137] The technician understands that the nucleic acid encoding the TCR can also be modified. Useful modifications of the entire nucleic acid sequence include codon optimization of the sequence. Conservative substitution changes that lead to the expressed amino acid sequence can be made. These changes that do not affect function can be made in the complementary determining regions and non-complementary determining regions of the TCR chain amino acid sequence. Generally, additions and deletions should not be made in the CDR3 region.

[0138] According to some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the TCR is modified to include a detectable label, a therapeutic agent, or a pharmacokinetic modifying moiety.

[0139] Non-limiting examples of detectable labels are radioactive labels, fluorescent labels, nucleic acid probes, enzymes and contrast agents. Therapeutic agents that can be associated with TCR include radioactive compounds, immunomodulators, enzymes or chemotherapeutic agents. The therapeutic agent can be encapsulated with a liposome connected to the TCR so that the compound can be slowly released at the target site. This will avoid damage during transport in the body and ensure that the therapeutic agent (e.g., toxin) has maximum effect after the TCR is bound to the relevant antigen presenting cell. Other examples of therapeutic agents are:

[0140] Peptide cytotoxins, i.e. proteins or peptides with the ability to kill mammalian cells, such as ricin, diphtheria toxin, Pseudomonas bacterial exotoxin A, DNase and RNase. The molecular weight of small molecule cytotoxic agents (i.e. compounds with the ability to kill mammalian cells) is less than 700 Daltons. Such compounds may contain toxic metals that can have cytotoxic effects. In addition, it should be understood that these small molecule cytotoxic agents also include prodrugs, i.e. compounds that degrade or transform under physiological conditions to release cytotoxic agents. Such agents may include, for example, docetaxel, gemcitabine, cisplatin, maytansine derivatives, rachelmycin, calicheamicin, etoposide, ifosfamide, irinotecan, porfimer sodium photofrin II, temozolomide, topotecan, trimetrexate glucoronate, mitoxantrone, auristatin E, vincristine, and doxorubicin; radionuclides, such as iodine 131, rhenium 186, indium 111, yttrium 90, bismuth 210 and 213, actinium 225, and astatine 213. The association of radionuclides with TCR or its derivatives may be carried out, for example, by a chelating agent; immunostimulators, also known as immunostimulants, are immune effector molecules that stimulate immune responses. Exemplary immunostimulants are cytokines such as IL-2 and IFN-γ, antibodies or fragments thereof, including anti-T cell or NK cell determinant antibodies (e.g., anti-CD3, anti-CD28 or anti-CD16); alternative protein scaffolds with antibody-like binding properties; superantigens, i.e., antigens that cause nonspecific activation of T cells, resulting in polyclonal T cell activation and massive cytokine release, and mutants thereof; chemokines, such as IL-8, platelet factor 4, melanoma growth stimulating protein, etc.; complement activators; heterologous protein domains, allogeneic protein domains, viral / bacterial protein domains, viral / bacterial peptides.

[0141] Antigen receptor molecules (T cell receptor molecules) on human T lymphocytes are non-covalently associated with CD3 (T3) molecule complexes on the cell surface. Disturbance of this complex with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies induces T cell activation. Therefore, some embodiments relate to TCRs as described herein that are associated with anti-CD3 antibodies or functional fragments or variants of the anti-CD3 antibodies (usually by fusion with the N or C terminus of the α or β chain). Antibody fragments and variants / analogs suitable for the compositions and methods described herein include minibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab<'>)2 fragments, dsFv and scFv fragments, nanobodies TM(Ablynx (Belgium), molecules comprising a synthetic single immunoglobulin variable heavy chain domain derived from camelid (e.g. camel or llama) antibodies) and Domain Antibodies (comprising affinity-matured single immunoglobulin variable heavy chain domains or immunoglobulin variable light chain domains (Domantis (Belgium)) or alternative protein scaffolds exhibiting antibody-like binding properties, such as Affibodies (comprising the engineered Protein A scaffold Affibody (Sweden)) or Anticalins (comprising the engineered anticalins Pieris (Germany)).

[0142] The therapeutic agent may preferably be selected from the group consisting of an immune effector molecule, a cytotoxic agent and a radionuclide. Preferably, the immune effector molecule is a cytokine.

[0143] The pharmacokinetic modifying portion can be, for example, at least one polyethylene glycol repeating unit, at least one diol group, at least one sialic acid group or a combination thereof. The association of at least one polyethylene glycol repeating unit, at least one diol group, at least one sialic acid group can be caused by various means known to those skilled in the art. In a preferred embodiment, these units are covalently linked to the TCR. The TCR according to the present invention can be modified by one or more pharmacokinetic modifying portions. In particular, the soluble form of the TCR is modified by one or more pharmacokinetic modifying portions. The pharmacokinetic modifying portion can achieve beneficial changes in the pharmacokinetic properties of the therapeutic agent, such as improved plasma half-life, reduced or enhanced immunogenicity and improved solubility.

[0144] TCR according to the present invention can be soluble or membrane-bound.Term " soluble " refers to TCR in soluble form (i.e., without transmembrane domain or cytoplasmic domain), for example, used as a targeting agent for delivering therapeutic agent to antigen presenting cells.For stability, soluble α β heterodimer TCR preferably has an introduced disulfide bond between the residues of the corresponding constant domain, such as described in WO 03 / 020763.One or both of the constant domains present in the α β heterodimer of the present invention can be truncated at the C-terminus or C-terminus, such as up to 15, up to 10 or up to 8 or less amino acids.In order to be used in adoptive therapy, α β heterodimer TCR can be, for example, transfected into a full-length chain with both cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane domain.TCR may include a disulfide bond corresponding to the corresponding α and β constant domains found in nature, and in addition or alternatively, non-natural disulfide bonds may be present.

[0145] Thus, a TCR, in particular a soluble form of a TCR according to the invention, can be modified by attaching additional functional moieties, e.g. to reduce immunogenicity, increase the hydrodynamic size (size in solution), solubility and / or stability (e.g. by enhanced protection from proteolytic degradation) and / or to extend serum half-life.

[0146] Other useful functional parts and modifications include "suicide" or "safety switches" that can be used to shut down effector host cells carrying the TCR of the invention in a patient. An example is the inducible Caspase 9 (iCasp9) "safety switch" described by Gargett and Brown Front Pharmacol. 2014; 5: 235. Briefly, effector host cells are modified by known methods to express Caspase 9 domains, whose dimerization depends on small molecule dimerizing drugs, such as AP1903 / CIP, and leads to rapid induction of apoptosis in modified effector cells. This system is described, for example, in EP2173869 (A2). Other examples of "suicide" "safety switches" are known in the art, such as herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK), expression of CD20 followed by depletion using anti-CD20 antibodies, expression of truncated EGFR followed by depletion using anti-EGFR antibodies (Wang et al., Blood, 2011 Aug 4;118(5):1255-63), or the myc tag (Kieback et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2008 Jan 15;105(2):623-8).

[0147] TCRs with altered glycosylation patterns are also contemplated herein. As known in the art, glycosylation patterns may depend on the amino acid sequence (e.g., the presence or absence of specific glycosylated amino acid residues discussed below) and / or the host cell or organism producing the protein. The glycosylation of a polypeptide is usually N-connected or O-connected. N-connection refers to the side chain of an asparagine residue to which a carbohydrate moiety is connected. By changing the amino acid sequence so that it includes one or more tripeptide sequences selected from asparagine-X-serine and asparagine-X-threonine (wherein X is any amino group except proline), it is conveniently achieved that the glycosylation sites connected by N- are added to the binding molecule. O-connected glycosylation sites may be introduced by adding or replacing one or more serine or threonine residues in the starting sequence.

[0148] Another method of glycosylation of TCR is by chemical or enzymatic coupling of glycosides to proteins. Depending on the coupling method used, one or more sugars can be attached to: (a) arginine and histidine, (b) free carboxyl groups, (c) free sulfhydryl groups, such as those of cysteine, (d) free hydroxyl groups, such as those of serine, threonine or hydroxyproline, (e) aromatic residues, such as those of phenylalanine, tyrosine or tryptophan, or (f) amide groups of glutamine. Similarly, deglycosylation (i.e., removal of carbohydrate moieties present on the binding molecule) can be achieved chemically, for example by exposing the TCR to trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, or enzymatically by using endoglycosidases and exoglycosidases.

[0149] It is also contemplated to add drugs, such as small molecule compounds, to TCRs, particularly soluble forms of the present invention. Connection can be achieved by covalent bonds or non-covalent interactions (e.g., by electrostatic forces). To form drug conjugates, various linkers known in the art can be used.

[0150] TCR, in particular soluble forms of the invention TCR, can be additionally modified to introduce additional domains that facilitate identification, tracking, purification and / or isolation of individual molecules (tags). Thus, in some embodiments, the TCR alpha chain or TCR beta chain can be modified to include an epitope tag.

[0151] Epitope tags are useful examples of tags that can be incorporated into the TCR of the present invention. Epitope tags are short amino acid fragments that allow binding to specific antibodies and are therefore able to identify and track the binding and movement of soluble TCR or host cells in patients or cultured (host) cells. A variety of different techniques can be used to achieve epitope tags and therefore the detection of labeled TCRs.

[0152] The tag can be further used to stimulate and expand host cells carrying the TCR of the invention by culturing the cells in the presence of a binding molecule (antibody) specific for the tag.

[0153] Typically, in some cases, a TCR can be modified to have multiple mutations that change the affinity and dissociation rate of the TCR to the target antigen. In particular, the mutation can increase the affinity and / or reduce the dissociation rate. Thus, a TCR can be mutated in at least one CDR and its variable domain framework region.

[0154] However, in a preferred embodiment, no modification or in vitro affinity maturation is performed on the CDR regions of the TCR, such as for the TCR receptors in the examples. This means that the CDR regions have naturally occurring sequences. This may be advantageous because in vitro affinity maturation may lead to immunogenicity to the TCR molecule. This may lead to the production of anti-drug antibodies that reduce or inactivate the efficacy and treatment and / or cause adverse reactions.

[0155] The mutation may be one or more substitutions, deletions or insertions. These mutations may be introduced by any suitable method known in the art, such as polymerase chain reaction, restriction enzyme-based cloning, ligation-independent cloning procedures, which are described in, for example, Sambrook, Molecular Cloning—4th Edition (2012) Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.

[0156] Theoretically, due to the mismatch between endogenous TCR chains and exogenous TCR chains, unpredictable TCR specificity with a risk of cross-reaction may occur. To avoid TCR sequence mismatch, the recombinant TCR sequence can be modified to include murinized Cα and Cβ regions, which has been shown to effectively enhance the correct pairing of TCR chains of various different transductions. Murinization of TCR (i.e., exchanging the human constant regions in α and β chains by their murine counterparts) is a commonly used technique for improving the cell surface expression of TCR in host cells. It is not desirable to be bound by a particular theory, and it is believed that murinized TCRs are more effectively associated with CD3 co-receptors; and / or preferentially paired with each other and less likely to form mixed TCRs on ex vivo genetically modified human T cells to express TCRs with desired antigen specificity, but still retain and express their "original" (i.e., endogenous) TCRs. Nine amino acids responsible for improving murinized TCR expression have been identified (Sommermeyer and Uckert, J Immunol. June 1, 2010; 184(11): 6223-31), and it is envisioned that at least one or all of the amino acid residues in the constant region of the TCR α and / or β chains are replaced with their mouse counterpart residues. This technology is also referred to as "minimum mouse humanization", and provides the advantages of enhancing cell surface expression while reducing the number of "foreign" amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence and thus reducing the risk of immunogenicity. Therefore, in some embodiments, the TCR sequence can be modified to include a minimum mouse humanized Cα region and Cβ region.

[0157] Some embodiments relate to an isolated TCR as described herein, wherein the TCR is a single chain type, wherein the TCR alpha chain and the TCR beta chain are connected by a linker sequence.

[0158] A suitable single-chain TCR format comprises a first segment consisting of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a variable TCR α region, a second segment consisting of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a variable TCR β region, an N-terminal fusion of the variable TCR β region and an amino acid sequence corresponding to an extracellular sequence of a constant region of the TCR β chain, and a linker sequence connecting the C-terminus of the first segment to the N-terminus of the second segment. Alternatively, the first segment may be composed of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a variable region of the TCR β chain, the second segment may be composed of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a variable region sequence of the TCR α chain, and the N-terminal fusion of the variable region sequence of the TCR α chain and an amino acid sequence corresponding to an extracellular sequence of a constant region of the TCR α chain. The above-mentioned single-chain TCR may further comprise a disulfide bond between the first chain and the second chain, and wherein the length of the linker sequence and the position of the disulfide bond are such that the variable domain sequences of the first segment and the second segment are substantially oriented to each other as in a natural TCR. More specifically, the first segment may be composed of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a TCR α chain variable region sequence, which is fused to the N-terminus of an amino acid sequence corresponding to an extracellular sequence of a TCR α chain constant region, and the second segment may be composed of an amino acid sequence corresponding to a TCR β variable region, which is fused to the N-terminus of an amino acid sequence corresponding to an extracellular sequence of a TCR β chain constant region, and a disulfide bond may be provided between the first chain and the second chain. The linker sequence may be any sequence that does not impair the function of the TCR.

[0159] In the context of the present invention, a "functional" TCR alpha and / or beta chain fusion protein should refer to a TCR or TCR variant that at least retains basic biological activity, for example, modified by the addition, deletion or substitution of amino acids. For the alpha and / or beta chains of the TCR, this means that both chains are still able to form a T cell receptor (with an unmodified alpha chain and / or beta chain or with another fusion protein alpha chain and / or beta chain of the present invention), which exerts its biological function, in particular binding to a specific peptide-MHC complex of the TCR, and / or functional signal transduction after a specific peptide:MHC interaction.

[0160] In a specific embodiment, the TCR can be modified to a functional TCR alpha and / or beta chain fusion protein, wherein the length of the epitope tag is 6 to 15 amino acids, preferably 9 to 11 amino acids. In another embodiment, the TCR can be modified to a functional TCR alpha and / or beta chain fusion protein, wherein the TCR alpha and / or beta chain fusion protein comprises two or more epitope tags spaced or directly connected in series. The embodiment of the fusion protein may comprise 2, 3, 4, 5 or even more epitope tags, as long as the fusion protein maintains its biological activity / multiple activities ("functionality").

[0161] Preferred is a functional TCR alpha and / or beta chain fusion protein according to the present invention, wherein the epitope tag is selected from but not limited to CD20 or Her2 / neu tags or other conventional tags such as myc tags, FLAG tags, T7 tags, HA (hemagglutinin) tags, His tags, S tags, GST tags or GFP tags. Myc, T7, GST, GFP tags are epitopes derived from existing molecules. In contrast, FLAG is a synthetic epitope tag designed for high antigenicity (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,703,004 and 4,851,341). The myc tag can be preferably used because high-quality reagents can be used for its detection. In addition to being recognized by antibodies, epitope tags can certainly have one or more additional functions. The sequences of these tags are described in the literature and are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0162] TCR fragments and variants

[0163] Another aspect of the invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a functional portion of a TCR as described herein. The functional portion may comprise at least one of the amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of the following SEQ ID NOs: SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 27, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 57, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 30, SEQ ID NO: 40, SEQ ID NO: 50 and SEQ ID NO: 60.

[0164] In specific embodiments, the polypeptide may be a functional portion of a TCR alone, for example in a soluble form. Alternatively, the polypeptide may be combined with other domains.

[0165] The functional portion can mediate the binding of the TCR to an antigen, particularly to an antigen-MHC complex.

[0166] In one embodiment, the functional portion comprises a TCR alpha variable chain and / or a TCR beta variable chain as described herein.

[0167] TCR variant molecules (i.e., molecules that combine polypeptides comprising functional portions of TCR and other domains) can have the binding properties of TCR receptors, but can be combined with signaling domains of effector cells (other than T cells), in particular, with signaling domains of NK cells. Therefore, some embodiments relate to proteins comprising a combination of a functional portion of a TCR as described herein with a signaling domain of an effector cell (e.g., NK cell).

[0168] "Binding" refers to the ability to specifically and non-covalently associate, bind or bind to a target.

[0169] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a multivalent TCR complex comprising at least two TCRs as described herein. In one embodiment of this aspect, at least two TCR molecules are connected by a linker portion to form a multivalent complex. Preferably, the complex is water-soluble, so the linker portion should be selected accordingly. Preferably, the linker portion can be connected to a defined position on the TCR molecule, thereby minimizing the structural diversity of the complex formed. An embodiment of this aspect is provided by the TCR complex of the present invention, wherein the polymer chain or peptide linker sequence extends between the amino acid residues in the variable region sequence of each TCR that are not located in the TCR. Since the complex of the present invention can be used in medicine, the selection of the linker portion should be appropriately based on its pharmaceutical suitability, such as its immunogenicity. Examples of linker portions that meet the above-mentioned desired standards are known in the art, such as in the field of connecting antibody fragments.

[0170] Examples of linkers are hydrophilic polymers and peptide linkers. Examples of hydrophilic polymers are polyalkylene glycols. The most commonly used of these are based on polyethylene glycol or PEG. However, others are based on other suitable optionally substituted polyalkylene glycols, including polypropylene glycol, and copolymers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Peptide linkers comprise amino acid chains and act on to produce simple linkers or multimeric domains on which TCR molecules can be connected.

[0171] One embodiment relates to a multivalent TCR complex wherein at least one of the TCRs is associated with a therapeutic agent.

[0174] In 10 -7 [M] HA-1 peptide concentration, when the binding to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule is compared to the binding to SEQ ID NO:4 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule, the IFN-γ secretion induced by the binding of the TCR of the present invention expressed on effector cells to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule can be at least 3 times higher, preferably at least 10 times higher, more preferably at least 20 times higher, even more preferably at least 50 times higher, and most preferably at least 100 times higher.

[0175] In 10 -6 [M] HA-1 peptide concentration, when the binding to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule is compared to the binding to SEQ ID NO:4 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule, the IFN-γ secretion induced by the binding of the TCR of the present invention expressed on effector cells to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule can be at least 3 times higher, preferably at least 10 times higher, more preferably at least 20 times higher, even more preferably at least 50 times higher, and most preferably at least 100 times higher.

[0176] In 10 -5 [M] HA-1 peptide concentration, when the binding to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule is compared to the binding to SEQ ID NO:4 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule, the IFN-γ secretion induced by the binding of the TCR of the present invention expressed on effector cells to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule can be at least 3 times higher, such as at least 10 times higher, preferably at least 10 times higher, for example at least 20 times higher, at least 50 times higher, at least 100 times higher.

[0177] Therefore, for all HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells, to recognize HA-1 R Variant, requires HA-1 H The concentration of the peptide is at least 1,000 times, preferably at least 5,000 times, more preferably at least 8,000 times, most preferably at least 10,0000 times higher than that of the peptide.

[0178] In a specific embodiment, for example, when the ratio of TCR transgenic T cells to T2 cells is 2:1, at 10 -7 At an HA-1 peptide concentration of [M], the IFN-γ secretion induced by the binding of the TCR of the present invention expressed on the effector cells to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 presented by the HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule can be greater than 500 pg / ml, for example, greater than 1000 pg / ml.

[0179] pg / ml, more preferably greater than 2000pg / ml, most preferably greater than 3000pg / ml.

[0181] The present invention also relates to a method for identifying a TCR or a fragment thereof that binds to a target amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or an HLA-A2 bound form thereof, preferably presented by an HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule or an HLA-A*02:06 encoded molecule, preferably SEQ ID NO:2 presented by an HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule or an HLA-A*02:06 encoded molecule, wherein the method comprises contacting a candidate TCR or a fragment thereof with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or an HLA-A02 bound form thereof, preferably presented by an HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule or an HLA-A*02:06 encoded molecule, preferably SEQ ID NO:2 presented by an HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecule, and determining whether the candidate TCR or a fragment thereof binds to the target and / or mediates an immune response.

[0182] Whether a candidate TCR or its fragment mediates an immune response can be determined, for example, by measuring cytokine secretion (e.g., IFN-γ secretion). As described above, cytokine secretion can be measured by an in vitro assay, wherein K562 cells (or other APCs) transfected with ivtRNA encoding the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2 are incubated with CD8+ enriched PBMCs expressing the TCR or a molecule containing the TCR fragment to be studied.

[0183] Nucleic acid, vector

[0184] Another aspect of the invention relates to a nucleic acid encoding a TCR as described herein or encoding a polynucleotide encoding a TCR as described herein.

[0185] Table 2: Nucleotide sequences encoding various peptide sequences

[0186]

[0187]

[0188]

[0189] "Nucleic acid molecule" generally refers to a polymer of DNA or RNA, which can be single-stranded or double-stranded, synthesized or obtained from a natural source (e.g., isolated and / or purified), which can include natural, non-natural or altered nucleotides, and which can include natural, non-natural or altered internucleotide connections, such as phosphoramidate connections or phosphorothioate connections, rather than phosphodiester between nucleotides of unmodified oligonucleotides. Preferably, nucleic acid as described herein is recombinant. As used herein, the term "recombinant" refers to (i) molecules constructed outside living cells by connecting natural or synthetic nucleic acid fragments to nucleic acid molecules that can be replicated in living cells, or (ii) molecules obtained by the replication of those described in (i) above. For the purposes of this article, replication can be in vitro replication or in vivo replication. Nucleic acids can be constructed based on chemical synthesis and / or enzymatic ligation reactions using methods known in the art or commercially available methods (e.g., from similar companies such as Genscript, Thermo Fisher). See, e.g., Sambrook et al. Nucleic acids can be chemically synthesized using naturally occurring nucleotides or various modified nucleotides designed to increase the biological stability of the molecule or to increase the physical stability of the duplex formed after hybridization (e.g., phosphorothioate derivatives and acridine substituted nucleotides). Nucleic acids can comprise any nucleotide sequence encoding any recombinant TCR, polypeptide, or protein, or a functional portion or functional variant thereof.

[0190] The present disclosure also provides variants of isolated or purified nucleic acids, wherein the nucleic acid variants comprise a nucleotide sequence that is at least 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to a nucleotide sequence encoding a TCR described herein. Such variant nucleotide sequences encode a nucleotide sequence that specifically recognizes HA-1 H Functional TCR for antigen.

[0191] The present disclosure also provides isolated or purified nucleic acids comprising a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of any nucleic acid described herein or a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the nucleotide sequence of any nucleic acid described herein.

[0192] Nucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions preferably hybridize under high stringency conditions. "High stringency conditions" refer to nucleotide sequences and target sequences (nucleotide sequences of any nucleic acid described herein) with a more detectable amount specific hybridization than non-specific hybridization. High stringency conditions include conditions that distinguish polynucleotides with precise complementary sequences or polynucleotides containing only a few scattered mismatches from random sequences that happen to have a few small regions (e.g., 3-10 bases) that match the nucleotide sequence. Such complementary small regions are more easily melted than the full-length complementation of 14-17 or more bases, and high stringency hybridization makes it easy to distinguish. Relatively high stringency conditions include, for example, low salt and / or high temperature conditions, such as conditions provided by about 0.02-0.1M NaCl or equivalents at a temperature of about 50-70°C. Such high stringency conditions allow very few (if any) mismatches between nucleotide sequences and template strands or target strands, and are particularly suitable for detecting the expression of any TCR described herein. It is generally believed that conditions can be made more stringent by adding an increased amount of formamide.

[0193] As described elsewhere herein, the nucleic acid encoding the TCR can be modified. Useful modifications in the entire nucleic acid sequence can be codon optimization. Conservative substitution changes that result in the expressed amino acid sequence can be made. These changes that do not affect function can be made in the complementary determining regions and non-complementary determining regions of the TCR chain amino acid sequence. Generally, additions and deletions should not be made in the CDR3 region.

[0194] Another embodiment relates to a vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding a TCR as described herein.

[0195] The vector is preferably a plasmid, a shuttle vector, a phagemid, a cosmid, an expression vector, a retroviral vector, an adenoviral vector or a particle and / or a vector for gene therapy.

[0196] "Vector" is any molecule or composition with the ability to carry a nucleic acid sequence into a suitable host cell, in which the synthesis of the encoded polypeptide can occur. Generally and preferably, a vector is a nucleic acid that has been engineered to introduce a desired nucleic acid sequence (e.g., nucleic acid of the present invention) using recombinant DNA techniques known in the art. The vector may comprise DNA or RNA and / or comprise liposomes. The vector may be a plasmid, a shuttle vector, a phagemid, a cosmid, an expression vector, a retroviral vector, a lentiviral vector, an adenoviral vector, or a particle and / or a vector for gene therapy. The vector may comprise a nucleic acid sequence that allows it to replicate in a host cell, such as an origin of replication. The vector may also comprise one or more selective marker genes and other genetic elements known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The vector is preferably an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid according to the present invention, and the nucleic acid is operably linked to a sequence that allows the expression of the nucleic acid.

[0197] Preferably, the vector is an expression vector. More preferably, the vector is a retrovirus, more particularly a γ-retrovirus or a lentivirus vector.

[0198] Cells and cell lines

[0199] Another aspect of the invention relates to a cell expressing a TCR as described herein.

[0200] In some embodiments, the cell is isolated or non-naturally occurring.

[0201] In specific embodiments, the cell may comprise a nucleic acid encoding a TCR as described herein or a vector comprising the nucleic acid.

[0202] In cells, the above-mentioned vector containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding the above-mentioned TCR can be introduced, or ivtRNA encoding the TCR can be introduced. The cell can be a peripheral blood lymphocyte, such as a T cell. The cloning and exogenous expression methods of TCR are described, for example, in Engels et al. (Relapse or eradication of cancer is predicted by peptide-majorhistocompatibility complex affinity. Cancer Cell, 23 (4), 516–26. 2013). The transduction of primary human T cells with lentiviral vectors is described, for example, in Cribbs "simplified production and concentration of lentiviral vectors to achieve high transduction in primary human T cells" BMC Biotechnol. 2013; 13: 98.

[0203] The terms "transfection" and "transduction" are interchangeable and refer to the process of introducing exogenous nucleic acid sequences into a host cell (e.g., a eukaryotic host cell). Note that the introduction or transfer of nucleic acid sequences is not limited to the methods mentioned, but can be achieved by any number of means, including electroporation, microinjection, gene gun delivery, lipofection, superfection, and infection by retrovirus or other viruses suitable for transduction or transfection.

[0204] Some embodiments relate to a cell comprising:

[0205] a) an expression vector comprising at least one nucleic acid as described herein, or

[0206] b) a first expression vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an alpha chain of a TCR as described herein, and a second expression vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding a beta chain of a TCR as described herein.

[0207] In some embodiments, the cell is a peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) or a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). The cell can be a natural killer cell or a T cell. Preferably, the cell is a T cell. The T cell can be a CD4+ or CD8+ T cell.

[0208] In some embodiments, the cell is a stem cell-like memory T cell.

[0209] Stem cell-like memory T cells (TSCM) are subpopulations with a low degree of differentiation of CD8+T cells, with the ability of self-renewal and long-term persistence. Once these cells encounter their antigens in vivo, they further differentiate into central memory T cells (TCM), effector memory T cells (TEM) and terminally differentiated effector memory T cells (TEMRA), while some TSCM remain static (Flynn et al., Clinical & Translational Immunology (2014)). These remaining TSCM cells show the ability to establish persistent immune memory in vivo, and are therefore considered to be important T cell subsets for adoptive T cell therapy (Lugli et al., Nature Protocols 8, 33–42 (2013) Gattinoni et al., Nat. Med. October 2011; 17 (10): 1290–1297). Immuno-magnetic selection can be used to limit the T cell pool to stem cell memory T cell subtypes, see (Riddell et al. 2014, Cancer Journal 20 (2): 141–44).

[0236] experiment

[0237] Example:

[0238] Example 1: HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells bind HA-1 H Polymer

[0239] An in vitro priming method was used to isolate HA-1 HThe priming system uses mature dendritic cells (mDC) from HLA-A*02:01 positive donors as antigen presenting cells and autologous CD8 + Enriched T cells serve as responder cells. In vitro transcribed RNA (ivtRNA) encoding 31 amino acids of the human HMHA1 gene (ARFAEGLEKLKECVLHDDLLEARRPRAHECL; SEQ ID NO: 126) was used as a source of specific antigen. After electroporation into mDC, the HMHA1 encoding ivtRNA was translated into protein, which was subsequently processed and presented as a peptide by the HLA-A*02:01 molecule on the mDC. In vitro co-culture of T cells with mDC transfected with ivtRNA from the same donor resulted in the de novo induction of antigen-specific T cells, which served as a source of corresponding TCRs. Antigen-specific T cells can be enriched by a variety of methods and cloned by limiting dilution or FACS-based single-cell sorting. HA-1 was sequenced by next-generation sequencing. H The sequences of the TCR alpha and TCR beta chains of reactive T cell clones were identified and cloned into the retroviral vector pES.12-6 after the constant TCR region was exchanged with its mouse counterpart. PBMCs from healthy donors were isolated by ficoll gradient centrifugation. CD8 T cells were enriched by negative magnetic selection (Miltenyi) and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb (BD Pharmingen, Heidelberg, Germany) in non-tissue culture 24-well plates. Double-tropic retroviral particles were produced by transfecting HEK293T cells with the corresponding TCR encoding retroviral plasmids and two expression plasmids. The next day after stimulation, CD8 T cells were transduced, and the transduced CD8 were enriched by FACS using the mouse constant beta region as a transduction marker on the twelfth day. + The cells were then expanded using a rapid expansion protocol (Riddell SR, Science, 1992 Jul 10; 257(5067):238-41).

[0240] result:

[0241] Use from HA-1 H Six different TCRs and one that failed to recognize HA-1 were isolated from reactive T cell clones H CD8 T cells were transduced with a control TCR. GeneOptimizer TM The nucleotide sequence of the isolated TCR was codon optimized using the PCR algorithm (ThermoFisher), and the constant region was murinized. The codon-optimized and murinized TCR was used for all other experiments described herein. H- MHC multimers (immunAware) and staining with antibodies against CD8 and mouse constant β region. All HA-1 except one H - TCR transgenic T cell populations all bind HA-1 very efficiently H -MHC multimers (>90%); only TCR_6 showed a lower percentage of HA-1 H -MHC multimer positive cells (37%). No HA-1 was observed in the control TCR H -MHC multimer staining. These results indicate that from HA-1 H TCRs isolated from reactive T cell clones can be expressed transgenically in T cells from healthy donors. Figure 1 )

H K562 cells were transduced with a portion of the HMHA1 gene that expressed an epitope. K562 cells transduced with only HLA-A*02:01 were used as controls. Each target cell line and TCR transgenic T cells were co-cultured with 20,000 T cells and 10,000 target cells at a ratio of 2:1. After 20-24 hours, the IFN-γ concentration in the co-culture supernatant was analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA device).

[0245] result:

[0246] HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells recognize HA-1 H T cells expressing the control TCR only recognized T2 cells loaded with the control peptide. These results suggest that HA-1 H TCRs isolated from reactive T cell clones were functional after transfer into T cells from healthy donors. Figure 2 )

[0247] Example 3: HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells cannot recognize HA-1 R -Peptide target cells

[0248] In order to analyze the two variants of HA-1 H and HA-1 R The differences in HA-1 H - Functional avidity of TCR transgenic T cells for the two variants loaded on HLA-A*02:01:

[0249] T2 cells were externally loaded with different concentrations (10 -11 M-10 -5 M) HA-1 H -peptide and (10 -8 M-10 -5 M) HA-1 R -peptide and co-cultured with TCR transgenic T cells using 20,000 T cells and 10,000 T2 cells at a ratio of 2: 1. After 20-24 hours, the IFN-γ concentration in the co-culture supernatant was analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA instrument).

[0250] result:

[0251] TCR_3 and TCR_4 showed binding to HA-1 loaded on HLA-A*02:01 encoding molecules. H -peptide showed the highest functional affinity, and TCR_2 showed the lowest functional affinity. At non-physiological high peptide concentrations (10 -5 M) were observed to have some HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells against HA-1 R There are only very few recognitions, and for all HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells, to recognize HA-1 R - variant, needs to be relative to HA-1 H These results suggest that HA-1 H -TCR for HA-1 H - variants are highly specific. In addition, the HA-1 loaded on the HLA-A*02:01 encoding molecule R The functional affinity of the peptide was compared with the TCR described in WO2018058002A1 (TCR2). In contrast to the TCR described herein, this TCR also -6 M concentration to recognize HA-1 R-peptide, and in 10 -5 M concentration, significantly more IFN-γ was released, indicating that all TCRs described herein have significantly higher specificity than the TCRs described in WO2018058002A1. Figure 3 A and 3B)

[0252] Example 4: HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells recognize HA-1 H Positive LCL

[0253] To analyze HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells recognize physiological levels of HA-1 on unmodified target cells H To test the ability of T cells to express T cells, we co-cultured T cells with different lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) and analyzed the cytokine release and cytotoxicity of TCR transgenic T cells:

[0254] DNA of seven LCLs was isolated (Quick Extract DNA Extract Solution, Illumina), and a portion of the HMHA1 gene encoding HA-1 was amplified by PCR. PCR products were separated from agarose gels and sent for sequencing (Eurofins Genomics). Based on the sequencing results, LCLs were assigned to HA-1. H Positive (HA-1 H / H and HA-1 H / R ) or HA-1 H Negative (HA-1 R / R ) group. To analyze cytokine release, 20,000 T cells and 10,000 T2 cells were used to co-culture TCR transgenic T cells and LCLs at a ratio of 2:1. After 20-24 hours, IFN-γ concentrations in the co-culture supernatants were analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA device). For cytotoxicity assays, co-cultures were established using 100,000 TCR transgenic T cells that had been transduced with a fluorescent marker gene and 20,000 LCLs at an effector to target ratio of 5:1. Live cell monitoring ( The reduction of fluorescent target cells (total integrated intensity in RCU × μm) was measured every two hours over a total period of 20 hours. 2 / image, RCU=Red Calibration Unit).

[0255] result:

[0256] All HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells in the presence of HA-1 HPositive LCL (LCL 1-5) released IFN-γ when co-cultured, but did not release IFN-γ when co-cultured with HA-1 H Negative LCL (LCL 6-7) after co-culture. T cells expressing control TCR did not recognize any LCL. In addition, HA-1 H Positive LCL was stained with HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells lysed. Untransduced CD8 T cells were used as a negative control and did not lyse LCLs. These results suggest that HA-1 H -TCR can recognize HA-1 loaded on HLA-A*02:01 encoded molecules at physiological levels H . ( Figure 4A and 4B )

[0257] Example 5: HA-1H-TCR transgenic T cells recognize HA-1H positive tumor cell lines

[0258] To analyze HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells recognize HA-1 presented on tumor cell lines H The ability of T cells to bind to different HA-1 H Co-culture of positive tumor cell lines.

[0259] DNA from the tumor cell line was isolated (Quick Extract DNA Extract Solution, Illumina), and a portion of the HMHA1 gene encoding HA-1 was amplified by PCR. The PCR product was isolated from an agarose gel and extracted from the gel for subsequent sequencing (Eurofins Genomics). H Positive (HA-1 H / H and HA-1 H / R ) tumor cell lines were used for the experiments. To analyze cytokine release, 20,000 T cells and 10,000 T2 cells were used to co-culture TCR transgenic T cells and tumor cell lines at a ratio of 2:1. After 20-24 hours, the IFN-γ concentration in the co-culture supernatant was analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA device). For cytotoxicity assays, co-cultures were established using 100,000 TCR transgenic T cells that had been transduced with a fluorescent marker gene and 20,000 tumor cells at an effector to target ratio of approximately 5:1. Live cell monitoring ( The reduction in fluorescent target cells (total integrated intensity in RCU x μm) was measured every two hours over a total period of 20 hours (ZOOM). 2 / image, RCU=Red Calibration Unit).

[0260] result:

[0261] When co-cultured with tumor cell lines, all HA-1 except TCR_2 H -TCR transgenic T cells all release IFN-γ. T cells expressing control TCR do not recognize tumor cell lines. HA-1 H -TCR transgenic T cells also showed cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines. Consistent with the cytokine release data, TCR_2 lysed target cells with lower efficiency. Untransduced CD8 T cells were used as negative control. ( Figure 5A and 5B )

[0262] Example 6: T cells expressing TCR_3 and TCR_4 recognize HA-1 at levels comparable to previously described TCRs H Positive tumor cell lines

[0263] In order to H -TCR transgenic T cells against HA-1 H Identification of positive tumor cell lines was compared with T cells expressing TCR2 described in WO2018058002A1, and 20,000 T cells and 10,000 tumor cells were co-cultured. After 20 hours, the IFN-γ concentration in the co-culture supernatant was analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA device). For cytotoxicity assays, 10,000 HA-1 H 10,000 cells of negative / GFP-positive K562 cells and tumor cell lines expressing mCherry were co-cultured with 20,000 TCR transgenic T cells. After 45 hours, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry and mCherry-positive (HA-1 H positive) and GFP positive (HA-1 H The ratio of TCR-negative cells was normalized to that measured for control TCR.

[0264] result:

[0265] In the case of HA-1 H After co-culture with positive tumor cell lines, T cells expressing TCR_3 and TCR_4 released similar amounts of IFN-γ as T cells expressing TCR2 described in WO2018058002A1 ( Figure 6 A). T cells expressing TCR_3 and TCR_4 also showed cytotoxic activity against different tumor cell lines comparable to that of TCR2 ( Figure 6 B).

[0266] Example 7: TCR recognition motif

[0267] In order to analyze the specific recognition motif of TCR, serine replacement scanning was performed. By replacing the original amino acid of the epitope with serine, the position in the peptide that is essential for TCR-mediated recognition can be identified. In order to define the recognition motif, effector T cells expressing different HA-1TCRs (TCR_3, TCR_4, and TCR2 described in WO2018058002A1) were co-cultured with T2 cells, and the T2 cells were loaded with HA-1H peptides (SEQID NO: 2) in which each individual amino acid residue was successively replaced by serine, or loaded with control peptides. T2 cells were loaded with saturated concentrations (10 -5 M) peptide, washed, and co-cultured with effector cells at an E:T ratio of 1: 1. The supernatant was harvested after about 20 hours of co-culture and secreted IFN-γ was analyzed by ELISA. T cells expressing a control TCR were used as a negative control.

[0268] result:

[0269] Compared with TCR2 (WO2018058002A1), TCR_3 and TCR_4 showed a more specific recognition pattern at serine, such as recognizing fewer peptides.

[0270] Comparison of different constant TCR regions

[0271] To compare the effects of different constant TCR regions, TCR-3 was cloned with murine, mouse humanized (Sommermeyer and Uckert, 2010, J. Immunol.) and human constant regions. HA-1 with different constant TCR regions was tested by co-culturing 20,000 T cells and 10,000 tumor cells. H -TCR transgenic T cells against HA-1 H - Recognition of TCR-positive tumor cell lines or LCLs. After 20-24 hours, the IFN-γ concentration in the co-culture supernatant was analyzed by standard sandwich ELISA (BD human IFN-γ ELISA kit). For cytotoxicity assays, 10,000 HA-1 H 10,000 cells of negative / GFP-positive K562 cells and tumor cell lines expressing mCherry were co-cultured with 20,000 TCR transgenic T cells. After 45 hours, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry and mCherry-positive (HA-1 H positive) and GFP positive (HA-1 H The ratio of TCR-negative cells was normalized to that measured for control TCR.

[0272] result:

[0273] As expected, HA-1 H - TCR transgenic T cells have slightly reduced responsiveness ( Figure 8 A and B). However, even with human constant TCR regions, in the presence of HA-1 H After co-culture with positive target cells, T cells still specifically released IFN-γ and showed cytotoxic effects.
