Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antibody drugs, and more specifically, to an anti-α-hemolysin antibody and its pharmaceutical use. Background Technology

[0002] Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the genus Staphylococcus and is an important Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium, one of the most common Gram-positive bacteria in humans. + Pathogenic bacteria can cause local infections such as purulent infections, pneumonia, pseudomembranous colitis, and pericarditis, as well as systemic infections such as sepsis and septicemia. Data from the China Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Network shows that Staphylococcus aureus ranks fourth among pathogens detected in hospitals, and is the most common Gram-positive bacteria found in hospitals. + The number 1 bacteria.

[0003] Staphylococcus aureus releases large amounts of toxins during infection, damaging tissue cells and inhibiting the body's immune cells from clearing the pathogen. Currently, β-lactam antibiotics are mainly used clinically to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, antibiotics can only inhibit or kill bacteria; they are ineffective against the toxins released by the bacteria. On the contrary, under the pressure of antibiotics, bacteria release more toxins, and the lysis of bacteria killed by antibiotics also releases toxins. When large amounts of toxins enter the bloodstream, they over-activate the host's immune system, releasing excessive inflammatory factors and leading to sepsis.

[0004] Furthermore, in the fight against humans, Staphylococcus aureus has become increasingly insensitive to β-lactam antibiotics. For example, the isolation rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is rising, with data from the China Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Network showing that the MRSA isolation rate reached as high as 38.9% in 2016. Clinically, treatments for MRSA mainly include a limited number of drugs such as vancomycin and linezolid, which are typical examples of "super-resistant" bacteria causing human infections. Therefore, MRSA infections are becoming increasingly serious clinically, with very limited available antimicrobial options, leading to high treatment failure rates and mortality rates. In recent years, vancomycin-resistant VRSA (vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections have even emerged, threatening a situation where no effective treatments are available.

[0005] Studies have found that pathogenic factors released by Staphylococcus aureus include hemolysins, leukocidins, enterotoxins, and coagulases. Among these, hemolysins are one of the important virulence factors secreted by Staphylococcus aureus, and can be divided into four types: α-hemolysins, β-hemolysins, γ-hemolysins, and δ-hemolysins. α-hemolysin (alpha hemolysis, Hla) is a secreted toxin protein encoded by the HLA gene of Staphylococcus aureus. It is expressed in almost all strains and, compared to other types of hemolysins, is a more critical virulence factor affecting the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. Studies have shown that Staphylococcus aureus with a deleted HLA gene expressing α-hemolysin exhibits significantly reduced virulence in animals. The full-length α-hemolysin protein is 319 amino acids long, with a relative molecular mass of 33 kDa, and is secreted in monomeric form. As a member of the pore-forming toxin family, α-hemolysin's most well-defined biological characteristic is its ability to rapidly lyse host erythrocytes and other tissue cells. After binding to cholesterol and sphingomyelin on host cells, it aggregates to form a heptamer with a relative molecular mass of approximately 232 kDa. This heptamer then folds to form a β-barrel-shaped transmembrane structure with a diameter of approximately 1.5 nm, causing the leakage of intracellular water, ions, and other small molecules, resulting in hemolysis or target cell death. Furthermore, α-hemolysin can induce smooth muscle contraction and spasm in capillaries, leading to capillary blockage and causing local ischemia and tissue necrosis. It plays a crucial role in diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus, such as sepsis, pneumonia, breast infections, corneal infections, and severe skin infections. Simultaneously, α-hemolysin can destroy leukocytes in infected tissues, hindering the host's clearance of infected Staphylococcus aureus. Under the pressure of the host's immune system and antibiotics, Staphylococcus aureus at the site of infection releases large amounts of α-hemolysin. Once in the bloodstream, it can activate the host's immune system to release excessive inflammatory factors, leading to sepsis.

[0006] Faced with the continuous emergence of superbugs, antibody drugs have become a powerful tool in the post-antibiotic era. Antibodies are natural proteins produced by the adaptive immune system. When the human body is passively immunized with antibody drugs, they can not only neutralize virulence factors but also enhance the host's immune response to pathogens, accelerating the clearance of infecting pathogens. Alpha-hemolysin has shown potential as a target for anti-infective antibody drugs in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection for the following reasons: α-hemolysin is highly conserved in Staphylococcus aureus and is expressed in almost all strains; α-hemolysin has a well-defined biological function, playing an important role in the formation of host infection and the development of sepsis in Staphylococcus aureus; and there are no homologous proteins of α-hemolysin in mammalian cells, meaning that antibody drugs designed targeting α-hemolysin have a low potential for off-target effects and low toxicity. Therefore, α-hemolysin is an ideal target for anti-Staphylococcus aureus antibody drugs. Effective neutralization of α-hemolysin is beneficial for blocking Staphylococcus aureus infection in humans, preventing severe sepsis after infection, and improving the prognosis of clinically infected patients. Aridis Pharmaceuticals is currently developing a fully human antibody, R-301, targeting α-hemolysin. The drug has entered Phase III clinical trials, with its primary indication being severe pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). AstraZeneca's humanized antibody MEDI4893, targeting α-hemolysin, is currently undergoing Phase II clinical trials, with its primary indication being the prevention and treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) pneumonia.

[0007] Currently, antibiotics such as vancomycin remain first-line drugs for treating Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, considering the continued increase in drug resistance and the slowdown in the development of new antibiotics, there is still a need in this field to develop novel and highly effective antibody drugs that directly neutralize toxins to combat Staphylococcus aureus. Our company previously developed the humanized anti-Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin antibody 78D4 H3L3, which specifically binds to α-toxin and blocks its interaction with its receptor, thereby reducing endothelial cell damage in pneumonia and achieving the prevention and treatment of pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

[0008] Humanized anti-Staphylococcal α-toxin antibodies are complex biological macromolecules that undergo physical changes such as aggregation, denaturation, and precipitation, as well as chemical changes such as isomerization, deamidation, and oxidation during production and storage. These changes can affect the safety and efficacy of the product, thus requiring a stable formulation to ensure that the antibody retains the necessary biological activity before being used in patients. Currently, there are no suitable stable formulations available on the market. Summary of the Invention

[0089] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for preventing or treating infections and complications caused by α-hemolysin or α-hemolysin-producing microorganisms, the method comprising administering to a subject in need the antibody or a fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule, a carrier, a host cell, a conjugate, a fusion protein, and / or a pharmaceutical composition, and optionally an antimicrobial agent. The optional antimicrobial agent may be a drug administered in combination with the antibody or a fragment thereof, the nucleic acid molecule, the carrier, the host cell, the conjugate, the fusion protein, and / or the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The combined administration of the two can be carried out in any manner, including simultaneously, continuously, or at intervals.

[0090] In this invention, the microorganism that produces α-hemolysin is preferably Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

[0091] In this invention, the infection caused by α-hemolysin or α-hemolysin-producing microorganisms may be one or more selected from upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, severe pneumonia, abdominal infection, subcutaneous and soft tissue infection, bacteremia, and infection of various organs; the complication caused by α-hemolysin or α-hemolysin-producing microorganisms may be one or more selected from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, and elevated levels of inflammatory factors in the body.

[0092] In this invention, other antibacterial agents are drugs (including chemical drugs, biological agents, and traditional Chinese medicines) that can be used to treat and prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Antibiotics, such as β-lactam antibiotics, are preferred. The antibiotics can be drugs listed in the guidelines / treatment strategies issued by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) or the Chinese Medical Association for the treatment of MRSA infections, preferably vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, daptomycin, cefepime, fusidic acid, and cefuroxime.

[0093] The present invention also provides a method for diagnosing an infection caused by α-hemolysin or an α-hemolysin-producing microorganism, the method comprising contacting the antibody or a fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule, a carrier, a host cell, a conjugate, a fusion protein and / or a pharmaceutical composition with a sample from a subject.

[0094] Compared to existing technologies, this invention obtains Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin and a non-toxic Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin mutant protein (α-Toxin H35L) through prokaryotic expression in Escherichia coli. After successfully immunizing mice with α-Toxin H35L, spleen cells were harvested, and an antibody library was established using hybridoma technology. Monoclonal antibodies with high affinity and biological activity for α-toxin were screened and obtained. These monoclonal antibodies were further humanized to obtain a lead antibody molecule (IgG1 subtype).

[0095] Specifically, this invention utilizes α-Toxin H35L to successfully immunize mice, then harvests spleen cells and establishes an antibody library using hybridoma technology. This library is used to screen and obtain α-hemolysin monoclonal antibodies with high affinity for α-Toxin and biological activity. A total of 16 lead antibody molecules were obtained, which not only have high affinity for α-hemolysin but also exhibit activity in blocking α-hemolysin hemolysis. Particularly noteworthy is the use of a strategy of attenuated immunization followed by strong virulence screening in antigen selection and antibody screening.

[0096] Based on mouse-derived lead antibody molecules, recombinant expression of human-mouse affinity antibodies and humanized antibodies was carried out, ultimately yielding humanized antibody molecules with similar biological activities to mouse-derived antibodies.

[0097] In vitro pharmacodynamic studies have shown that the humanized antibody of this invention can dose-dependently block the hemolytic effect of α-hemolysin on rabbit erythrocytes and the damaging effect of α-hemolysin on lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, this invention has also evaluated the in vivo pharmacodynamics of the lead antibody molecule in mouse models of α-hemolysin sepsis, MRSA bacteremia, and MRSA lung infection. The results show that the humanized antibody of this invention has a significant protective effect against mouse α-hemolysin sepsis; it can significantly prolong the survival time of mouse MRSA bacteremia; and it can significantly reduce the bacterial load in mouse MRSA lung infection. Moreover, the combined use of the humanized antibody of this invention with commonly used antibacterial drugs such as vancomycin and linezolid exhibits a significant synergistic effect in mouse models of α-hemolysin sepsis, MRSA bacteremia, and MRSA lung infection.

[0098] Furthermore, a single-dose pharmacokinetic study (N=3) was conducted on the antibody of the present invention in cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 20 mg / kg. The results showed that the basic pharmacokinetic parameters met the drug-likeness criteria (Table 1), the elimination half-life (T1 / 2) was 137±36.9 h, and the plasma clearance (CL) was 0.501±0.222 ml / h / kg. In addition, an acute toxicity test was conducted on mice (N=10). The results showed that no mice died when administered a dose of 125 mg / kg within 24 hours, and no adverse reactions were observed in the animals after 14 days of continuous observation. Gross examination of the major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and brain) of the euthanized animals revealed no abnormalities. A single-dose administration of the antibody of the present invention to cynomolgus monkeys at a dose of 10 mg / kg did not result in animal death, and no adverse reactions were observed in the animals after 28 days of continuous observation. The acute toxicity test results indicate that the antibody of the present invention has good safety.

[0099] The antibody of this invention can effectively neutralize toxins, blocking their damage to patient tissue cells, while simultaneously enhancing the patient's immunity. This reduces tissue damage from clinical Staphylococcus aureus infection, promotes faster clearance of infectious bacteria from the patient's body, and prevents or alleviates sepsis. Under the action of this antibody, patients can switch from intravenous infusion to oral therapy more quickly, and the treatment course is shortened. Furthermore, the antibody of this invention has better clinical efficacy and tolerability, making it a valuable supplement to existing antibiotic therapies.

[0100] Antibody compositions were prepared based on the physicochemical properties and biological activities of anti-α-hemolysin antibodies. By optimizing the selection of buffer media, protective agents, and surfactants, the freeze-thaw stability, oscillation stability, and light stability of the antibodies were improved, extending the shelf life of antibody preparations, especially aqueous injections, and preventing changes in the physicochemical properties of the antibodies during transportation and storage, thereby preventing loss of biological activity.

[0121] Example 1 Recombinant expression of Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin fused with His tag

[0122] Using the amino acid sequence of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin as the target sequence, the corresponding base sequence was artificially synthesized and cloned into the Pet-21a plasmid containing a His tag using the NdeI and XhoI restriction enzyme sites. The amino acid sequence of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin is shown in SEQ ID NO:78, and the corresponding base sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:79. The construction of the recombinant plasmid is described in [link to documentation]. Figure 1 .

[0123] The obtained recombinant plasmid was transformed into competent BL21(DE3)pLysS cells. The following day, single colonies were picked and inoculated into LB broth containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin, and cultured overnight at 37°C with shaking. The overnight culture was then inoculated at a 1:100 volume ratio into LB broth containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm until OD500 was reached. 600 The concentration of IPTG was approximately 0.6–0.8. The solution was then added to the bacterial culture to a final concentration of 0.1 mM, and induced at 16°C for 16–18 h. The induced bacterial culture was then collected by centrifugation at 8,000 rpm for 3 min and stored at -80°C.

[0124] Example 2 Recombinant expression of the His-tagged Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin mutant (H35Lα-Toxin)

[0125] Based on the amino acid sequence of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin, histidine (His) at position 35 was mutated to leucine (Leu), yielding the mutated amino acid sequence. The corresponding base sequence was artificially synthesized and cloned into the Pet-21a plasmid containing a His tag using the NdeI and XhoI restriction enzyme sites. The amino acid sequence of this Staphylococcus aureus mutated α-hemolysin (H35Lα-Toxin) is shown in SEQ ID NO:80, and the corresponding base sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:81. The construction of the recombinant plasmid is described in [link to documentation]. Figure 2 .

[0126] The obtained recombinant plasmid was transformed into competent BL21(DE3)pLysS cells. The following day, single colonies were picked and inoculated into LB broth containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin, and cultured overnight at 37°C with shaking. The overnight culture was then inoculated at a 1:100 volume ratio into LB broth containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm until OD500 was reached. 600 The concentration of the bacterial culture was approximately 0.6–0.8. IPTG was added to the culture to a final concentration of 0.25 mM, and the culture was induced at 25 °C for 4.5 h. After induction, the bacterial culture was collected by centrifugation at 8,000 rpm for 3 min and stored at -80 °C.

[0127] Example 3 Purification of Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin and its mutant (H35Lα-toxin)

[0128] Escherichia coli induced to express Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin and its mutants were disrupted by ultrasonic disruption, with a 3-second interval at 180W for 7-9 minutes; centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.22 μmL filter for sterilization.

[0129] The Ni column was mixed with the filtered supernatant at room temperature on a rotary mixer for 1 hour, and then the Ni column was loaded into a packed column. Proteins non-specifically bound to the Ni column were eluted with 5 column volumes of BD buffer (containing 30 mM imidazole) until the protein development buffer remained colorless. The target protein was then eluted with 5 column volumes of BB buffer (containing 300 mM imidazole). The elution buffer containing the target protein was then concentrated and replaced using a 10 kDa concentration tube with PBS as the solvent. The electrophoresis results of the obtained protein are shown below. Figure 3 .

[0130] Example 4 Biological activity assays of Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin and its mutant (H35Lα-toxin) (in vitro hemolysis assay and in vivo toxicity in mice)

[0131] Different concentrations (5 μg / ml, 0.5 μg / ml, 0.05 μg / ml) of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin and its mutants were added dropwise to the surface of sheep blood agar plates (Shanghai Kemajia Microbial Technology Co., Ltd.). The blood plates were incubated at 37℃ for 24 h. A clear hemolytic zone was observed around the α-hemolysin, and the diameter of the hemolytic zone was correlated with its concentration; however, no hemolytic zone was observed around the α-hemolysin mutant. The experimental results are shown below. Figure 4 .

[0132] Add 75 μl of 5% rabbit red blood cells (Bio-channel Biotechnology) and different masses of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin or its mutant to each well of a 96-well plate, and add PBS buffer to a final volume of 150 μl. Incubate at 37°C for 1 h, then centrifuge the 96-well plate at 3000 rpm for 3 min. Take 100 μl of the supernatant and measure the absorbance (OD) at 405 nm using a microplate reader. 405 The hemolytic activity of α-hemolysin was evaluated. Results showed that the hemolytic activity of α-hemolysin on rabbit erythrocytes was dose-dependent, while the α-hemolysin mutant showed no hemolytic activity. Experimental results are shown below. Figure 5 .

[0133] Different doses of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin or its mutant were administered to C57 mice via tail vein injection. It was found that the lowest lethal dose of Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin recombinantly expressed according to the methods described in Examples 1, 2 and 3 was 3 μg / mouse; the highest dose of α-hemolysin mutant injected was 200 μg / mouse, and no adverse reactions were observed in the mice.

[0134] Example 5 Immunization of Balb / c mice with Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin mutant (H35Lα-Toxin)

[0135] α-hemolysin or an α-hemolysin mutant were diluted with PBS to different concentrations and injected via the tail vein into C57 mice. The toxic effects of both on C57 mice were compared to select the appropriate immunogen and dosage for subsequent immunization of animals. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0136] Table 1. Toxicity of different doses of α-hemolysin and α-hemolysin mutants in mice

[0137]

[0138] Example 6 Immunization of Balb / c mice with Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin mutant (H35Lα-Toxin)

[0139] Following the guidelines of Antibodies a Laboratory Manual, Second Edition (Edward A. Greenfield 2012), 8-week-old Balb / c mice were immunized over a period of 42 days at 14-day intervals.

[0140] Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin mutants were emulsified in complete or incomplete Freund's adjuvant and injected unilaterally into the subcutaneous tissue and peritoneal cavity of mice at three sites: the nape of the neck, the base of the tail, and the groin. Blood was collected from the tail vein on day 35 after immunization, and antibody titers were detected by ELISA. Spleen cells from immunized mice were then fused with myeloma cells.

[0141] Example 7 Screening, identification and antibody sequencing of hybridoma cell lines

[0142] Splenic cells from Balb / c mice immunized with the Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin mutant (H35Lα-Toxin) were fused with myeloma cells P3X63Ag8.653 using PEG or electrofusion methods. The fused hybridoma cells were seeded into 30 wells of a 384-well plate. After 24 hours, HAT-containing and HT-containing media were added for hybridoma cell selection. After culturing in the 384-well plates for 10-14 days, the cell supernatant was used for ELISA with α-Toxin to screen hybridoma parent clones that secrete antibodies specifically binding to α-hemolysin (see...). Figure 6 A). Subsequently, 94 wells from each plate were selected from the highest to the lowest ELISA OD values ​​and transferred to 96-well plates for incubation (wells from plate number 30, which had a slightly lower ELISA positivity rate, were not selected for transfer), for a total of 29 96-well plates.

[0143] Under physiological conditions, the presence of α-hemolysin leads to the lysis of red blood cells, and the release of lysates causes a change in the color of the solution supernatant. Anti-α-hemolysin antibodies in the cell secretion supernatant can inhibit the lysis of red blood cells by α-hemolysin. By detecting the absorbance of the supernatant, the degree of cell lysis by α-hemolysin and the inhibition of α-hemolysin by the antibody can be determined.

[0144] Hemolysis was detected in the supernatant of the 96-well plate culture after transfer. The procedure was as follows: WT-α-toxin was diluted to a stock solution of 5 μg / mL. 25 μL of this stock solution was mixed with an equal volume of cell culture supernatant and added to a 96-well plate containing 5% rabbit red blood cells (diluted to 75 μL with PBS). The plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The plate was then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 min. 75 μL of the supernatant was added to a fresh 96-well plate, and the OD405 and OD450 absorbance values ​​were measured using a microplate reader. Some results are shown below. Figure 6 B.

[0145] The selected hybridoma parent clones that secrete anti-α-hemolysin antibodies were added to 96-well plates containing feeder cells using a limiting dilution method. The monoclonal cells were observed and labeled under a microscope after 2-3 days. After 7 days, monoclonal hybridoma cells that could secrete anti-α-hemolysin monoclonal antibodies were screened by ELISA.

[0146] After expanding the culture of monoclonal hybridoma cells secreting anti-α-hemolysin monoclonal antibodies, total RNA was extracted from the cells according to the instructions of the RNAfast200 kit (Shanghai Feijie Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The total RNA from the hybridoma cells was reverse transcribed into cDNA using 5×PrimeScript RTMaster Mix (Takara). The antibody light chain variable region IgVL(κ) and heavy chain variable region V were amplified using degenerate primers (Anke Krebber. 1997) and Extaq PCR reagent (Takara). H Sequence. PCR amplification products were purified using a PCR clean-up gel extraction kit (Macherey-Nagel). Following the instructions of the pClone007 Simple Vector Kit (Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), the amplified PCR products were ligated into a T vector and transformed into competent E. coli cells. After amplification and plasmid extraction, DNA sequencing was performed to obtain the variable region sequence of the monoclonal antibody.

[0147] The variable region sequence of the mouse antibody was obtained and analyzed as follows:

[0181] Example 8 The binding of the antibody to α-toxin in this invention

[0182] Dilute α-hemolysin to 1 μg / ml with PBS buffer, and coat each well with 100 μl of the solution in a 96-well plate (Microwell 96F167008, Thermo). Incubate overnight at 4°C. The next day, remove the 96-well plate and wash it with PBST (containing 0.5% PBS), soaking for 1 min each time and then thoroughly drying off any remaining water. Add 200 μl of PBST containing 5% BSA to each sample well and block at 37°C for 1 h. Then wash the plate with PBST and dry the wells.

[0183] Add 100 μl of recombinant anti-α-hemolysin monoclonal antibody at serially diluted concentrations to each well of a 96-well plate (antibody concentrations are shown in the image). Figure 7 (x-axis) Incubate overnight at 4℃. After removing the 96-well plate, wash with PBST, then add 100 μl of anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (IH-0031, Beijing Dingguo Changsheng Biotechnology) to each well and incubate at 37℃ for 1 h. Wash 5 more times with PBST, add 100 μl of Substrate Solution (Invitrogen) to each well, and incubate at 37℃ for 10 min; stop the reaction by adding 50 μl of 2N sulfuric acid to each well, and then measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Multiskcin FC, Thermo).

[0184] See results Figure 7 .

[0185] Example 9 The Acquisition of Chimeric Antibodies and Humanized Antibodies in this Invention

[0186] First, the complete light and heavy chain variable regions of the murine antibody were combined with the human light and heavy chain constant regions to obtain a chimeric antibody as a control. The resulting chimeric antibody was named "mice-derived antibody (abbreviation -xi)".

[0187] After comprehensive analysis of the murine antibody heavy chain sequence to identify the antigen complementarity determinant (CDR) region for antibody-antigen binding and the framework region supporting the conserved three-dimensional conformation of the antibody, a search of known human antibody sequences was conducted. The most similar human antibody heavy chain sequence to the murine antibody, such as IGHV1-3*01, was selected, and its antibody framework region sequence was chosen as a template. The murine antibody heavy chain CDR was embedded into the human antibody framework region to generate a humanized antibody heavy chain sequence (heavy chain version 0). Subsequently, individual amino acid sites in the murine framework region that might be involved in antigen-antibody binding were reconstituted to generate humanized antibody heavy chain sequences (versions 1, 2, 3, etc.). The same process was used to generate humanized antibody light chain sequences (versions 0, 1, 2, etc.). The designed and synthesized humanized antibody light and heavy chains were co-transfected into 293 cells for recombinant expression of the humanized antibody (version naming convention, for example: heavy chain version 0 + light chain version 0 co-expression, i.e., H0L0, which can be further abbreviated to version 00). Experiments have shown that the purified humanized antibody and the mouse maternal antibody exhibit the same specific binding activity to α-hemolysin protein.

[0188] The antigen-binding power of the finally obtained humanized antibody version and chimeric antibody xi version was compared using the Octect instrument. Figure 8 These are the results of partial antibody assays. Based on the binding and dissociation curves of the antibody and antigen, specific humanized antibody versions exhibit properties similar to or better than control antibodies (including the chimeric antibody or AZ / AR antibody of this invention) during the antigen-antibody binding and dissociation phases.

[0189] The following humanized antibodies were obtained through screening.

[0223] Antibody-antigen interaction was determined using a GE BIAcore S200 instrument.

[0224] Following the instructions of the GE Human Antibody Capture Kit (catalog number BR-1008-39, Lot 10261753), the maximum amount of anti-human Fc antibody was first saturated and coupled to both the analytical and control sample channels of the CM5 sensor chip. Then, 7.5 μg / ml of the antibody to be tested was flowed through the analytical channel to ensure uniform antibody distribution. Finally, a serially diluted antigen sample (initial concentration 20 nM, 1:3 dilution to 8 concentration points, with repetition at a 0.741 nm concentration point) was flowed through both the analytical and sample channels. The photoreaction value after antibody-antigen binding was measured. Subsequently, the binding constant Kon, dissociation constant Koff, and affinity constant KD of the antibody were obtained through instrument software fitting (1:1) analysis.

[0229] C57BL / 6J mice were randomly divided into a model control group and a monoclonal antibody treatment group based on body weight. Thirty minutes before the experiment, the treatment group received a tail vein injection of anti-α-hemolysin monoclonal antibody (6 μg / mouse), while the control group received the same dose of PBS. Then, all mice received a tail vein injection of α-hemolysin (3 μg / mouse) to establish a mouse model of sepsis infection. The survival time of the experimental animals was observed and recorded. Results are shown below. Figure 10 .

[0237] Example 15 Acute toxicity study of the antibody of this invention

[0238] Acute toxicity studies of the 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecule of this invention were conducted in mice and cynomolgus monkeys (N=10 in mice and N=3 in cynomolgus monkeys).

[0239] C57BL / 6 mice (18-20g), half male and half female, were injected intravenously with 125mg / kg of 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecules within 24 hours. Results showed that no mice died when given the maximum dose of 125mg / kg within 24 hours. No adverse effects were observed in the animals after 14 days of continuous observation. Gross examination of the major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and brain) of euthanized animals revealed no abnormalities.

[0240] Each male cynomolgus macaque was administered a single intravenous infusion of 10 mg / kg of 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecules via the limbs. Results showed that no animal deaths occurred at the 10 mg / kg dose of 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecules, and no adverse effects were observed in the animals during a 28-day observation period.

[0241] Acute toxicity studies have shown that the 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecule has good safety.

[0242] Example 16 Pharmacokinetic study of the antibody of this invention

[0243] The pharmacokinetic study of the 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecule was conducted in cynomolgus monkeys at a single dose of 10 mg / kg (N=3).

[0244] Male cynomolgus macaques were administered a single intravenous infusion of 10 mg / kg of the 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecule via limb veins. Blood samples were collected at 0 h before administration (pre-dose), and at 0.25 h (15 min), 0.5 h (needle removal point), 4 h, 24 h (D2), 48 h (D3), 96 h (D5), 168 h (D8), 336 h (D15), 504 h (D22), and 672 h (D29). Blood was collected from peripheral veins of the limbs (excluding the administration limb) or the inguinal vein. Approximately 1 mL of whole blood was collected per animal at each time point. Antibody concentrations in cynomolgus macaque serum were determined using ELISA. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUClast, CL, and T1 / 2, were calculated using a non-compartmental model analysis with WinNonlin Phoenix (v6.4, Phrasight) software.

[0245] The concentration of 78D4 H3L3 antibody in the serum of cynomolgus monkeys was determined by ELISA. Individual serum drug concentrations are shown in the figure. Figure 13 The pharmacokinetic parameters are summarized in Table 8. Drug exposure was observed in all animals after administration.

[0248] Example 17 Optimization of the formulation of the antibody stabilizing agent of the present invention

[0249] Taking the 78D4 H3L3 antibody molecule as an example, we screened a stable formulation of humanized anti-Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin antibody.

[0250] Antibody preparation method: The antibody was replaced into the target buffer, aliquoted, and placed at 4℃ and 40℃ for stability study. Samples were taken for testing at 0 days, 7 days, and 14 days. The test items included SEC and CEX.

[0251] The buffer solution composition is as follows:

[0252]

[0253] Buffer system and pH selection criteria:

[0254] The changes in the acidic peak content of 78D4 H3L3 at 40℃ were investigated using the CEX method to determine the optimal buffer system and pH for this antibody. The results are shown in Table 9. The CEX acidic peak content was fitted with straight lines at the start of the experiment (0 days), 7 days at 40℃, and 14 days, and the rate of increase of the acidic peak (% / day) was calculated.

[0255] Table 9. Results of CEX acid peak investigation on high-temperature stability of different buffer systems

[0256]

[0257] As shown in Table 9, the rate of increase of the acid peak in the histidine buffer system at pH 5.0-6.0 is lower than that in the citric acid and acetic acid systems. Therefore, the histidine buffer system was selected for the next screening step.

[0258] Criteria for selecting protein concentration:

[0259] After determining the optimal buffer composition, the effect of different protein concentrations on stability was further investigated. 78D4H3L3 samples were displaced into different formulations and subjected to accelerated stability testing at 40°C. Samples were taken at 0, 7, 14, and 28 days for SEC detection. Linear values ​​of the SEC peak content at the start of the experiment (0 days), 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days at 40°C were fitted, and the rate of decline of the peak (% / day) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 10.

[0260] Table 10. Results of SEC main peak assay for high-temperature stability at different protein concentrations

[0261]

[0262]

[0263] As can be seen from Table 10, the rate of decrease of the SEC peak content tends to increase with the increase of concentration. In view of this result, and considering future clinical medication plans, further investigation will be conducted around a concentration of 50 mg / ml.

[0264] Criteria for selecting buffer salt concentration:

[0265] The 78D4 H3L3 sample was displaced into a non-concentration buffer solution and then placed at 40°C for accelerated stability testing. Samples were taken at 0, 7, 14, and 28 days for CEX detection. Linear fitting of CEX acid peak content at the start of the experiment (0 days), 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days at 40°C was performed, and the increase rate of the acid peak (% / day) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 11.

[0266] Table 11. Results of CEX acid peak investigation on high-temperature stability at different buffer concentrations

[0267]

[0268] Table 11 shows that as the buffer concentration increases, the rate of increase of the CEX acid peak of 78D4 H3L3 increases. There is no significant difference between 5 mM and 10 mM on the effect of the CEX acid peak. In order to maintain the buffering capacity of the buffer, 10 mM was selected as the final buffer concentration.

[0269] Criteria for selecting protective agents:

[0270] After determining the above conditions, further research and comparison were conducted on the addition of protective agents to select the excipients that could make the antibody most stable. The results are shown in Tables 12 and 13.

[0271] Table 12. Results of SEC main peak investigation on high-temperature stability of different protective agents

[0272]

[0273]

[0274] Table 13. Results of CEX acid peak investigation on high-temperature stability of different protective agents

[0275]

[0276] Tables 12 and 13 show that the rate of decrease in SEC purity and the rate of increase in CEX acid peak were not significantly different among different protective agents. Therefore, sucrose, which is commonly used in biopharmaceuticals, was chosen as the additive.

[0277] Basis for selecting the concentration of protective agent:

[0278] After determining sucrose as the preservative, the effects of different concentrations of sucrose on the storage period of 78D4 H3L3 antibody protein were investigated. The results are shown in Tables 14 and 15.

[0279] Table 14. Results of high-temperature stability study of the SEC main peak at different protective agent concentrations

[0280]

[0281] Table 15. Results of CEX acid peak investigation on high-temperature stability of different protective agents

[0282]

[0283] Tables 14 and 15 show that the antibody is relatively stable at different sucrose concentrations. Based on the principle of minimizing the amount of excipients added and considering both the need to fully protect the protein, 5% sucrose was selected as the protective agent for 78D4 H3L3.

[0284] Criteria for surfactant selection:

[0285] The 78D4 H3L3 antibody sample was displaced into a 10mM histidine, 6% sucrose buffer solution, resulting in a protein concentration of 50 mg / ml. Different final concentrations of Tween 20 and 80 were added to the displaced sample. The prepared samples were subjected to 1, 3, 5, and 10 freeze-thaw cycles before the insoluble microparticles were measured. The results are shown in Tables 16 and 17.

[0286] Table 16. Results of insoluble particulate matter in Tween 20 freeze-thaw samples with different proportions

[0287]

[0288] Table 17. Results of insoluble particulate matter in Tween 80 freeze-thaw samples with different proportions

[0289]

[0290] Table 16 shows a significant increase in insoluble particles in samples without Tween 20, while the sample containing 0.01% Tween 20 showed a greater increase in insoluble particles after 10 freeze-thaw cycles, indicating that 0.01% Tween 20 cannot effectively inhibit the aggregation of 78D4 H3L3 protein; ≥0.02% Tween 20 showed no significant difference in anti-aggregation effect. Table 17 shows that ≥0.005% Tween 80 effectively inhibited aggregation, and there was no significant difference in the change of insoluble particles compared to Tween 20, indicating that for 78D4 H3L3 samples, Tween 80 has a better anti-aggregation effect than Tween 20. Therefore, 0.01% Tween 80 was selected as the surfactant for 78D4 H3L3.

[0291] Example 18 Efficacy verification of the antibody stabilizing agent formulation of the present invention

[0292] The formulation validation tests included freeze-thaw stability tests, 10°C shaking stability tests, and light exposure tests to examine the stability of the 78D4H3L3 antibody in the final formulation.

[0293] Oscillation stability test:

[0294] The 78D4 H3L3 protein used in the experiment was a three-step purified sample, concentrated to the required concentration using a preferred antibody formulation, and subjected to a shaking stability test at 10°C for 5 days. The study focused on the 78D4 H3L3 monomer content (SEC), charge isomer peak content (CEX), and antibody activity (binding ELISA). The results are summarized in Table 18.

[0295] Table 18. Results of physicochemical property investigation on the oscillation stability of 78D4 H3L3

[0296]

[0297] Freeze-thaw stability test:

[0298] The 78D4 H3L3 protein used in the experiment was a three-step purified sample, concentrated to the required concentration using a preferred antibody formulation, and subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles of 1, 3, and 5. The study focused on the 78D4 H3L3 monomer content (SEC), charge isomer peak content (CEX), and antibody activity (binding ELISA). The results are summarized in Table 19.

[0299] Table 19. Results of the physicochemical properties investigation of freeze-thaw stability of 78D4 H3L3

[0300]

[0301] Light stability test:

[0302] The 78D4 H3L3 protein used in the experiment was a three-step purified sample, concentrated to the required concentration using a preferred antibody formulation, and subjected to a photostability test. The sample was exposed to light at 4500 lx ± 500 lx for 5 and 10 days, while the same sample was placed in its packaging box as a light-protected control. The study focused on the 78D4 H3L3 monomer content (SEC), charge isomer peak content (CEX), and antibody activity (binding ELISA). The results are summarized in Table 20.

[0303] Table 20. Results of the physicochemical properties investigation of freeze-thaw stability of 78D4 H3L3

[0304]

[0305]

[0306] The above results indicate that, under the defined formulation, shaking for 5 days, freeze-thaw cycles for 5 days, and light exposure for 10 days had no significant effect on the physicochemical properties of the 78D4 H3L3 protein. This suggests that the 78D4 H3L3 antibody is relatively stable under this formulation.
