Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological immunotherapy technology, and more specifically, to an antibody that specifically binds to CD318 or its antigen-binding fragment, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] CD318, also known as CDCP1 (protein 1 containing CUB domains), is a gene that encodes a highly glycosylated, single-channel type I transmembrane protein expressed in mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, fibroblasts, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. CDCP1 consists of a large extracellular domain (ECD) containing three CUB domains (complement C1r / C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1) and a short intracellular portion. This protein plays a role in tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent regulation.

[0003] CD318 is abnormally elevated in various malignant tumors, including colon cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and liver cancer. In hematopoietic cells, CD318 has been identified as a stem cell marker for both benign and malignant progenitor cells. Significant CD318 expression has been observed in the CD34CD133 leukemia cell subset, which involves leukemia stem cell enrichment, in AML patients. Therefore, CD318 is a very promising target for tumor immunotherapy.

[0004] Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy is a novel immunotherapy method targeting specific antigens on the surface of tumor cells. VHH antibodies, also known as nanobodies, are naturally occurring antibodies found in alpaca peripheral blood that lack a light chain. These antibodies contain only one heavy chain variable region (VHH) and two conventional CH2 and CH3 regions. Compared to traditional artificially modified scFvs, they offer advantages such as smaller molecular weight, easier expression, higher specificity, higher affinity, weaker immunogenicity in humans, and shorter development cycles. Combining the advantages of immunotherapy and VHH antibodies can lead to the development of highly effective CAR-T therapies.

[0005] There are currently no reports of anti-CD318VHH antibodies as described in this application, or immune effector cells containing such anti-CD318VHH antibodies. Summary of the Invention

[0064] Through extensive and in-depth research and screening, the inventors discovered a class of anti-CD318 nanobodies and their antigen-binding fragments, which can specifically recognize CD318, bind to CD318 with high affinity, and have good functional activity.

[0065] Specifically, this invention utilizes CD318 protein to immunize alpacas, obtaining a high-quality single-domain antibody gene library. Then, phage display technology is used to screen the antibody gene library, thereby obtaining CD318-specific single-domain antibody genes. These genes are then transferred into mammalian cells, resulting in antibody strains that can be efficiently expressed in mammalian cells and exhibit high specificity. The antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments possess good safety and targeting properties, specifically binding to the extracellular domain of human CD318.

[0066] The present invention also provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) containing the nanobody. Using a vector containing the coding sequence of the CAR to infect immune cells can yield immune effector cells with significant killing ability against tumor cells overexpressing CD318. These immune effector cells can be used to treat or improve CD318-related diseases, thus laying the foundation for the treatment of CD318-positive tumors.

[0067] Antibody

[0068] In this article, "CD318 binding molecule" refers to a protein that specifically binds to CD318, including but not limited to antibodies, heavy chain antibodies, nanobodies, or their antigen-binding fragments.

[0069] In this document, the term "antibody" includes monoclonal antibodies (including full-length antibodies having the immunoglobulin Fc region), antibody compositions with multi-epitope specificity, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), biantibodies and single-chain molecules, and antibody fragments, especially antigen-binding fragments, such as Fab, F(ab')2, Fd, and Fv. In this document, "antibody" and "immunoglobulin" are used interchangeably.

[0070] Traditional "antibodies" contain a basic four-chain antibody unit, a heterotetrameric glycoprotein composed of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H). Each heavy chain has a variable domain (VH) at its N-terminus, followed by three (CH1, CH2, and CH3 for each α and γ chain) and four (CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 for μ and ε isoforms) constant domains (CH), and a hinge region located between the CH1 and CH2 domains. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at its N-terminus, followed by a constant domain (CL) at its other end. Pairs of VH and VL together form an antigen-binding site. For information on the structure and properties of different classes of antibodies, see Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th Edition, edited by Daniel P. Sties, Abba I. Terr, and Tristram G. Parsolw, Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, CT, 1994, p. 71 and Chapter 6. Light chains from any vertebrate species can be classified into one of two distinct types, called κ and λ, based on their constant domain amino acid sequences. Based on relatively minor differences in CH sequence and function, the γ and α types can be further subdivided into subclasses, such as those expressed in humans: IgG1, IgG2A, IgG2B, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2.

[0071] The "heavy chain antibody" described in this article refers to antibodies derived from camelid or cartilaginous fish. Compared to the aforementioned four-chain antibodies, heavy chain antibodies lack the light chain and heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), containing only two heavy chains composed of a variable region (VHH) and other constant regions. The variable region is linked to the constant region via a hinge-like structure. Each heavy chain of camelid heavy chain antibodies contains one variable region (VHH) and two constant regions (CH2 and CH3), while each heavy chain of cartilaginous fish heavy chain antibodies contains one variable region and five constant regions (CH1-CH5). The antigen-binding fragment of heavy chain antibodies includes VHH and single-chain heavy chain antibodies. By fusing with the constant region of human IgG Fc, heavy chain antibodies can possess the CH2 and CH3 regions of human IgG Fc.

[0072] As used herein, the terms "single-domain antibody," "anti-CD318 single-domain antibody," "heavy chain variable region domain of a heavy chain antibody," and "VHH" are used interchangeably and all refer to single-domain antibodies that specifically recognize and bind to CD318. A single-domain antibody is the variable region of a heavy chain antibody. Typically, a single-domain antibody contains three CDRs and four FRs. Preferably, the single-domain antibody of the present invention has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:1, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:2, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:3; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:4, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:5, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:6; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:7, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:8, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:9; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:10, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:11, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:12; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:13, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:14, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:15; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:16, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:17, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:18. A single-domain antibody is the smallest functional antigen-binding fragment. Typically, an antibody that naturally lacks both the light chain and the heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1) is first obtained, and then the variable region of the antibody heavy chain is cloned to construct a single-domain antibody consisting of only one heavy chain variable region.

[0073] In this document, "nanobody" refers to an antibody containing the VHH described herein. It can be a heavy chain antibody as described above, a multivalent or multispecific antibody containing multiple VHHs, or a recombinant antibody obtained by recombination of VHHs and antibody Fc (e.g., CH2 and CH3 or CH2, CH3, and CH4). A binding molecule containing two or more single-domain antibodies is a multivalent single-domain antibody; a binding molecule containing two or more single-domain antibodies with different specificities is a multispecific single-domain antibody. Multivalent or multispecific single-domain antibodies are linked together by a linker. The linker typically consists of 1-15 amino acids selected from G and S.

[0074] In this article, heavy chain antibodies and antibodies (traditional four-chain antibodies) are used to distinguish different combinations of antibodies. Due to their structural similarities, the structural descriptions of antibodies below, except for those involving light chains, also apply to heavy chain antibodies.

[0075] The "variable region" or "variable domain" of an antibody refers to the amino-terminal domain of either the heavy or light chain. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains are referred to as "VH" and "VL," respectively. These domains are typically the most variable parts of the antibody (relative to other antibodies of the same type) and contain antigen-binding sites.

[0076] The term "variable" refers to the wide variation in certain segments within a variable domain within the antibody sequence. Variable domains mediate antigen binding and define the specificity of a particular antibody for its specific antigen. However, variability is not uniformly distributed across all amino acids spanned by the variable domain. Instead, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (HVRs) (present in both light and heavy chain variable domains): HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3 in the heavy chain variable domain (simply referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 in heavy chain antibodies) and LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 in the light chain variable domain. The more highly conserved portions of the variable domain are called backbone regions (FRs). The variable domains of both the natural heavy and light chains each contain four FR regions (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4), which mostly adopt a β-sheet conformation and are linked by three HVRs that form a ring connection and, in some cases, part of a β-sheet structure. The HVRs in each chain are held together very closely by the FR regions and, together with the HVRs of the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antibody's antigen-binding site. Typically, the structure of the variable region in the light chain is FR1-LCDR1-FR2-LCDR2-FR3-LCDR3-FR4, and the structure of the variable region in the heavy chain is FR1-HCDR1-FR2-HCDR2-FR3-HCDR3-FR4. Constant domains do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but exhibit various effector functions, such as antibody involvement in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. There are several labeling schemes for antibody variable regions, including Chothia, Kabat, IMGT, and Contact. This article uses the IMGT labeling scheme as an example.

[0077] The “Fc region” (crystallizable fragment region), “Fc domain”, or simply “Fc” refers to the C-terminal region of an antibody heavy chain that mediates the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including binding to Fc receptors on various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) or to the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. In IgG, IgA, and IgD antibody isotypes, the Fc region consists of two identical protein fragments from the CH2 and CH3 domains of the two antibody heavy chains; the Fc regions of IgM and IgE contain three heavy chain constant domains (CH domains 2–4) in each polypeptide chain. Although the boundaries of the Fc region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain can vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is generally defined as the sequence segment from the amino acid residue at position C226 or P230 of the heavy chain to the carboxyl terminus, where the numbering is based on the EU index, as in Kabat. As used herein, the Fc region can be a native sequence Fc or a variant Fc.

[0078] An "antibody fragment" comprises a portion of a complete antibody, preferably the antigen-binding region and / or variable region of the complete antibody. The antibody fragment is preferably an antigen-binding fragment of the antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab'), F(ab')2, Fd, and Fv fragments; disulfide-linked Fv fragments; biantibodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules; scFv-Fc fragments; multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments; and any fragment whose half-life should be increased by chemical modification or by incorporation into liposomes. Antigen-binding fragments can be prepared using a variety of techniques, including but not limited to hydrolyzing and digesting complete antibody proteins, and by expression in host cells containing the antigen-binding fragment.

[0079] "Fv" is the smallest antibody fragment containing a complete antigen recognition and binding site. This fragment consists of a dimer of a tightly bound, non-covalently linked heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain. Six hypervariable rings (three from the heavy chain and three from the light chain) protrude from the folds of these two domains, contributing the amino acid residues for antigen binding and conferring antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half an Fv containing only the three antigen-specific HVRs) can recognize and bind antigens, although with lower affinity than a complete binding site. A "single-chain Fv," also abbreviated as "sFv" or "scFv," is an antibody fragment containing antibody VH and VL domains linked together into a single polypeptide chain. Preferably, the sFv polypeptide also contains a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains, allowing the sFv to form the desired antigen-binding structure. For heavy chain antibodies or nanobodies, scFv is VHH.

[0080] In this document, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous group of antibodies, meaning that the individual antibodies constituting the group are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations and / or post-translational modifications (e.g., isomerization, amidation) that may be present in small amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, targeting a single antigenic site. Compared to polyclonal antibody formulations (which typically consist of different antibodies targeting different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody targets a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies have the advantage that they are synthesized through hybridoma culture, free from contamination by other immunoglobulins. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the characteristic that the antibody is obtained from a substantially homogeneous group of antibodies and should not be interpreted as requiring the production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used according to the invention can be generated by a variety of techniques, including, for example, hybridoma methods, phage display methods, recombinant DNA methods, and techniques for generating human or human-like antibodies from animals having partial or whole human immunoglobulin loci or genes encoding human immunoglobulin sequences, single-cell sequencing methods.

[0081] Monoclonal antibodies also include “chimeric” antibodies in this article, wherein a portion of the heavy chain and / or light chain is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequence in an antibody derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remaining portion of the chain is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequence in an antibody derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, provided they exhibit the desired biological activity.

[0082] The “humanized” form of a non-human (e.g., mouse) antibody refers to a chimeric antibody that minimally contains sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulins. Therefore, a “humanized antibody” generally refers to a non-human antibody with a variable domain framework region that exchanges sequences found in human antibodies. Typically, in a humanized antibody, the entire antibody (except for the CDR) is encoded by a human-derived polynucleotide or is identical to that antibody (except for the CDR). The CDR (some or all of which are encoded by nucleic acids derived from non-human organisms) is transplanted into the β-sheet backbone of the variable region of the human antibody to produce an antibody whose specificity is determined by the transplanted CDR. Methods for producing such antibodies are well known in the art, for example, using mice with genetically engineered immune systems. In this invention, antibodies, single-domain antibodies, heavy-chain antibodies, etc., all include humanized variants of the aforementioned antibodies.

[0083] "Human antibody" refers to an antibody having an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of antibodies generated by humans and / or produced using any of the techniques disclosed herein for generating human antibodies. This definition of human antibody explicitly excludes humanized antibodies containing non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be generated using a variety of techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries.

[0084] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides nanobodies, heavy chain antibodies, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof (e.g., single-domain antibody VHH) that bind to the same epitope on human CD318 as the antigen-binding region of any anti-CD318 nanobody of the present invention, i.e., nanobodies, heavy chain antibodies, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that can cross-compete with the antigen-binding region of any nanobody of the present invention for binding to CD318.

[0085] In this invention, the anti-CD318 single-domain antibody has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:1, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:2, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:3; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:4, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:5, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:6; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:7, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:8, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:9; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:10, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:11, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:12; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:13, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:14, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:15; or has CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:16, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:17, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:18.

[0086] The FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4 of the anti-CD318 single-domain antibody described herein can be independently selected from the FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4 of any of the single-domain antibodies shown in SEQ ID NO:19-24. Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the anti-CD318 single-domain antibody is as shown in any of SEQ ID NO:19-24.

[0087] When a single-domain antibody is attached to a heavy chain constant region, the nanobody is a heavy chain antibody comprising the single-domain antibody described herein. The heavy chain constant region may be a constant region of a camel heavy chain antibody, comprising CH2 and CH3. Preferably, the antibody constant region is derived from the constant regions of any one of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD; more preferably, it is derived from the constant regions of any one of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. In one or more embodiments, the heavy chain constant region is CH2 and CH3 of human IgG Fc, such as CH2 and CH3 of IgG1.

[0088] The CD318 binding molecules described herein can be monovalent or multivalent nanobodies or single-domain antibodies, or multispecific nanobodies or single-domain antibodies, comprising one, two, or more of the anti-CD318 nanobodies or single-domain antibodies described herein. Multispecificity can be against CD318 and another antigen, or against two different epitopes of CD318.

[0089] This invention also includes the antibody derivatives and analogs described herein. “Derivatives” and “analytes” refer to polypeptides that substantially retain the same biological function or activity as the antibodies of this invention. The derivatives or analogs of this invention may be (i) polypeptides having substituents in one or more amino acid residues, or (ii) polypeptides formed by fusing a mature polypeptide with another compound (e.g., a compound that extends the half-life of the polypeptide, such as polyethylene glycol), or (iii) polypeptides formed by fusing an additional amino acid sequence to this polypeptide sequence (e.g., a leader sequence, a secretory sequence, a sequence used to purify this polypeptide, or a proteogenic sequence, or a fusion protein formed with a 6His tag). Based on the teachings herein, these derivatives and analogs are within the scope well known to those skilled in the art.

[0090] Without substantially affecting antibody activity, those skilled in the art can modify the antibody sequence of the present invention by one or more amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 or more) to obtain variants of the antibody or its functional fragment sequence. These variants include (but are not limited to): deletions, insertions, and / or substitutions of one or more amino acids (typically 1-50, preferably 1-30, more preferably 1-20, most preferably 1-10), and the addition of one or more amino acids (typically up to 20, preferably up to 10, more preferably up to 5) at the C-terminus and / or N-terminus. In the art, conservative substitutions with amino acids of similar or comparable properties generally do not alter protein function. For example, substitutions of amino acids with similar properties in the FR and / or Fc regions. Amino acid residues that can be conservatively substituted are well known in the art. Such substituted amino acid residues may or may not be encoded by the genetic code. For example, adding one or more amino acids to the C-terminus and / or N-terminus generally does not change the function of the protein. These are all considered to be included within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0091] The variants of the antibodies described herein include: homologous sequences, conserved variants, allelic variants, natural mutants, induced mutants, proteins encoded by DNA that can hybridize with the encoding DNA of the antibodies of the present invention under high or low stringency conditions, and polypeptides or proteins obtained using antiserum against the antibodies of the present invention. In some embodiments, the sequences of the variants described herein may have at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% homology with their source sequences. The sequence homology described herein can be measured using sequence analysis software, such as the computer program BLAST with default parameters, especially BLASTP or TBLASTN. The present invention also includes molecules having antibody heavy chain variable regions with CDRs, provided that their CDRs have at least 90% (preferably at least 95%, most preferably at least 98%) homology with the CDRs identified herein.

[0092] The antibodies of the present invention can be prepared using methods conventional in the art, such as hybridoma techniques. The nanobodies of the present invention can be prepared using methods conventional in the art, such as phage display techniques well known in the art. Alternatively, the antibodies or nanobodies of the present invention can be expressed in other cell lines. Suitable mammalian host cells can be transformed with sequences encoding the antibodies of the present invention, followed by culturing the host cells and purifying the antibodies. Transformation can be performed using any known method, including, for example, packaging polynucleotides in a virus (or viral vector) and transducing host cells with the virus (or vector). The transformation procedure used depends on the host to be transformed. Methods for introducing heterologous polynucleotides into mammalian cells are well known in the art, including dextran-mediated transfection, calcium phosphate precipitation, polybrene-mediated transfection, protoplast fusion, electroporation, encapsulation of polynucleotides in liposomes, and direct microinjection of DNA into the nucleus. Mammalian cell lines that can be used as hosts for expression are well known in the art, including but not limited to a variety of immortalized cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), including but not limited to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, young hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS) cells, human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., HepG2).

[0093] CAR

[0094] This invention also provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD318. The CAR contains an optional signal peptide sequence, an antigen recognition region (i.e., the anti-CD318 binding molecule described herein), a hinge region, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular region. The intracellular region includes one or more intracellular co-stimulatory domains and / or one or more intracellular signaling domains. The terms "hinge region," "transmembrane region," and "intracellular region" as used herein can all be selected from sequences of the hinge region, transmembrane region, and intracellular region in known CAR-T technologies.

[0095] The signal peptide, optionally selected for the CAR, can be chosen as needed. Generally, a signal peptide is a peptide sequence that directs the polypeptide to a desired site within the cell. The signal peptide directs the polypeptide to the cell's secretory pathway and allows the polypeptide to integrate and anchor to the lipid bilayer; the signal peptide can also be a membrane-localizing signal peptide. Exemplary signal peptides include CD8 signal peptide, CD28 signal peptide, CD4 signal peptide, or light chain signal peptide, the sequences of which are within the knowledge of those skilled in the art. The CD8 signal peptide suitable for use in this invention can be any of the various human CD8 signal peptide sequences commonly used in CARs in the art. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the CD8 signal peptide comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:25.

[0096] The hinge region of a chimeric antigen receptor is located between the extracellular antigen-binding region and the transmembrane region. The hinge region is an amino acid segment that typically exists between two domains of a protein and allows for protein flexibility and relative movement between the two domains. The hinge region can be a hinge region of a naturally occurring protein or a portion thereof. The hinge region of an antibody (such as IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, or IgD antibodies) can also be used in the chimeric antigen receptor described herein. Non-naturally occurring peptides can also be used as the hinge region of the chimeric antigen receptor described herein. Exemplarily, the hinge region of a CAR is selected from the CD8α hinge region, the IgD hinge region, the IgG1FcCH2CH3 hinge region, or the IgG4FcCH2CH3 hinge region, the sequences of which are within the knowledge of those skilled in the art. The CD8α hinge region suitable for use in this invention can be any of the various human CD8α hinge region sequences commonly used in CARs in the art. In some embodiments, the human CD8α hinge region comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:26.

[0097] The transmembrane region of a chimeric antigen receptor can form an α-helix, a complex of more than one α-helix, a β-barrel, or any other stable structure capable of translocating the cellular phospholipid bilayer. The transmembrane region can be of natural or synthetic origin. It can be selected from the transmembrane regions of the following proteins: CD3ε, CD4, CD5, CD8α, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD28, CD33, CD37, CD45, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, CD154, or the α, β, or ζ chains of T-cell receptors. The human CD8α transmembrane region suitable for this invention can be any of the various human CD8α transmembrane region sequences commonly used in the art for CARs. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the human CD8α transmembrane region comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:27.

[0098] Intracellular signaling regions (or intracellular signal transduction regions) are responsible for activating at least one normal effector function of immune effector cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors. For example, the effector function of T cells can be lytic activity or helper activity, including cytokine secretion. While the entire intracellular signal transduction region can generally be used, in many cases, using the whole chain is unnecessary. Regarding the use of truncated portions of intracellular signal transduction regions, such truncated portions can be used instead of the whole chain as long as they transduce effector function signals. Therefore, intracellular signal transduction regions include any truncated form of intracellular signal transduction regions sufficient to transduce effector function signals. The intracellular signaling domain of a CAR can be selected as needed, including but not limited to intracellular signaling domains derived from at least one of CD3ζ, FcRγ (FCER1G), FcRβ (FcεRib), CD3γ, CD3δ, CD3ε, CD5, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, and CD66d. Preferably, the intracellular signaling region is derived from the human CD3ζ intracellular signaling region. Furthermore, the human CD3ζ intracellular signaling region has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:29.

[0099] In addition to stimulation by antigen-specific signals, many immune effector cells require co-stimulation to promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival, as well as to activate effector functions. The "co-stimulatory domain" can be the cytoplasmic portion of a co-stimulatory molecule. The term "co-stimulatory molecule" refers to an associated binding chaperone on immune cells (such as T cells) that specifically binds to a co-stimulatory ligand, thereby enabling the immune cell to mediate a co-stimulatory response, such as, but not limited to, proliferation and survival. Suitable intracellular co-stimulatory domains can be selected as needed, including intracellular domains containing co-stimulatory signaling molecules, such as at least one of the intracellular domains derived from 4-1BB, CARD11, CD2, CD7, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD40, CD54, CD83, OX40, CD137, CD134, CD150, CD152, CD223, CD270, PD-L2, PD-L1, CD278, DAP10, LAT, NKD2C, SLP76, TRIM, FcεRIγ, MyD88, and 41BBL. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:28.

[0100] The aforementioned portions forming the chimeric antigen receptor of the present invention, such as the CD8 signal peptide, the anti-CD318 nanobody, the CD8α hinge region, the CD8α transmembrane region, the CD3ζ intracellular signal domain, and the 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain, can be directly linked to each other or linked via adapter sequences. The adapter sequence can be a known antibody-compatible adapter sequence, such as a G and S-containing adapter sequence. Typically, the adapter contains one or more repeating motifs. For example, the motif can be GGGS, GGGGS, SSSSG, GSGSA, and GGSGG. Preferably, the motifs are adjacent in the adapter sequence, with no inserted amino acid residues between the repeats. The adapter sequence can consist of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 repeating motifs. The length of the adapter can be 3 to 25 amino acid residues, for example, 3 to 15, 5 to 15, or 10 to 20 amino acid residues. In some embodiments, the adapter sequence is a polyglycine adapter sequence. The number of glycine residues in the linker sequence is not particularly limited, typically ranging from 2 to 20, for example, 2 to 15, 2 to 10, or 2 to 8. Besides glycine and serine, the linker may also contain other known amino acid residues, such as alanine (A), leucine (L), threonine (T), glutamic acid (E), phenylalanine (F), arginine (R), and glutamine (Q). In some embodiments, the linker sequence is (GGGGS)n-linked, where n is an integer from 1 to 5.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the CAR contains, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, a CD8 signal peptide, the anti-CD318 nanobody described herein or its antigen-binding fragment, a CD8α hinge region, a CD8α transmembrane region, a 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain, and a CD3ζ intracellular signaling domain. In a specific embodiment, an exemplary CAR having the above structure is shown in any of SEQ ID NO:30-35.

[0102] It should be understood that in gene cloning, it is often necessary to design suitable restriction enzyme sites, which inevitably introduces one or more irrelevant residues at the end of the expressed amino acid sequence, without affecting the activity of the target sequence. To construct fusion proteins, promote the expression of recombinant proteins, obtain recombinant proteins that are automatically secreted outside the host cell, or facilitate the purification of recombinant proteins, it is often necessary to add some amino acids to the N-terminus, C-terminus, or other suitable regions within the recombinant protein, such as, but not limited to, suitable adaptor peptides, signal peptides, leader peptides, and terminal extensions. Therefore, the amino or carboxyl terminus of the CAR of the present invention may also contain one or more polypeptide fragments as protein tags. Any suitable tag can be used herein. For example, the tags may be FLAG, HA, HA1, c-Myc, Poly-His, Poly-Arg, Strep-TagII, AU1, EE, T7, 4A6, ε, B, gE, and Ty1. These tags can be used for protein purification.

[0103] The antigen recognition region in the CAR of the present invention can be the aforementioned anti-CD318 nanobody or a variant of its functional fragment sequence. Furthermore, other parts of the CAR can also undergo sequence changes, resulting in a mutant with at least 80%, preferably at least 85%, preferably at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, preferably at least 97% sequence identity with the CAR and retaining the biological activity of the CAR (e.g., activation of T cells). Sequence identity between two aligned sequences can be calculated using, for example, NCBI's BLASTp.

[0104] The mutant also includes an amino acid sequence having one or more mutations (insertions, deletions, or substitutions) in the amino acid sequence of the CAR described in any embodiment, while still retaining the biological activity of the CAR. The number of mutations typically refers to 1-10, for example 1-8, 1-5, or 1-3. Substitution is preferably conserved. For example, in the art, conserved substitution with amino acids of similar or comparable properties generally does not alter the function of the protein or peptide. "Amino acids with similar or comparable properties" includes, for example, families of amino acid residues having similar side chains. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), amino acids with acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), amino acids with uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), amino acids with nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), amino acids with β-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and amino acids with aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Therefore, replacing one or more sites in the polypeptide of the present invention with another amino acid residue from the same side chain class will not substantially affect its activity.

[0105] Nucleic acid

[0106] This invention also provides polynucleotides encoding the aforementioned antibodies or CARs. The polynucleotides of this invention can be in DNA or RNA form. DNA form includes cDNA, genomic DNA, or artificially synthesized DNA. The DNA can be single-stranded or double-stranded. The DNA can be a coding strand or a non-coding strand. This invention also includes degenerate variants of polynucleotide sequences encoding fusion proteins, i.e., nucleotide sequences encoding the same amino acid sequence but with different nucleotide sequences.

[0107] Therefore, the present invention also relates to polynucleotides that hybridize with the above-mentioned polynucleotide sequences and have at least 50%, preferably at least 70%, and more preferably at least 80% identity between the two sequences. The present invention particularly relates to polynucleotides that are hybridizable with the polynucleotides described herein under stringent conditions. In the present invention, “stringent conditions” means: (1) hybridization and elution at lower ionic strength and higher temperature, such as 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 60°C; or (2) hybridization with a denaturing agent, such as 50% (v / v) formamide, 0.1% fetal bovine serum / 0.1% Ficoll, 42°C, etc.; or (3) hybridization only occurs when the identity between the two sequences is at least 90%, preferably at least 95%. Furthermore, the polypeptide encoded by the hybridizable polynucleotide has the same biological function and activity as the mature polypeptide.

[0108] The full-length nucleotide sequence or fragments of the antibody of the present invention can generally be obtained by PCR amplification, recombinant methods, or artificial synthesis. One feasible method is to synthesize the relevant sequence artificially, especially when the fragment length is short. Typically, a long fragment can be obtained by first synthesizing multiple small fragments and then ligating them. Furthermore, the coding sequence of the heavy chain and an expression tag (such as 6His) can be fused together to form a fusion protein. The CAR sequence can also be obtained as described above. Alternatively, the sequences of the various parts of the CAR (signal peptide, antigen recognition region, hinge region, transmembrane region, or intracellular region) can be obtained as described above and then ligated to obtain the full-length CAR.

[0109] Once the relevant sequence is obtained, it can be obtained in large quantities using recombination methods. This typically involves cloning it into a vector, transforming it into cells, and then isolating the sequence from the proliferated host cells using conventional methods. The biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, etc.) involved in this invention include biomolecules existing in isolated forms. Currently, DNA sequences encoding the proteins of this invention (or fragments thereof, or derivatives thereof) can be obtained entirely through chemical synthesis. This DNA sequence can then be introduced into various existing DNA molecules (or vectors, etc.) and cells known in the art. Furthermore, mutations can be introduced into the protein sequences of this invention through chemical synthesis. The CAR portions can be sequentially cloned into a vector or integrated into a full-length CAR before cloning.

[0110] This invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs containing the polynucleotide sequences described herein, and one or more regulatory sequences operatively linked to these sequences. The polynucleotide sequences described herein can be manipulated in various ways to ensure the expression of the antibody or CAR. The nucleic acid constructs can be manipulated depending on the expression vector or requirements before insertion into a vector. Techniques for altering polynucleotide sequences using recombinant DNA methods are known in the art.

[0111] The regulatory sequence can be a suitable promoter sequence. Promoter sequences are typically operatively linked to the coding sequence of the protein to be expressed. A promoter can be any nucleotide sequence that exhibits transcriptional activity in the chosen host cell, including mutant, truncated, and heterozygous promoters, and can be obtained from a gene encoding an extracellular or intracellular polypeptide that is homologous or heterologous to that host cell. An example of a suitable promoter is the immediate early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter sequence. This promoter sequence is a strongly constitutive promoter sequence capable of driving high-level expression of any polynucleotide sequence operatively linked to it. Another example of a suitable promoter is elongation growth factor-1α (EF-1α). However, other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including but not limited to the early promoter of simian virus 40 (SV40), mouse mammary cancer virus (MMTV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, MoMuLV promoter, avian leukemia virus promoter, Epstein-Barr virus immediate early promoter, Russ's sarcoma virus promoter, and human gene promoters, such as, but not limited to, actin promoter, myosin promoter, heme promoter, and creatine kinase promoter. Furthermore, the use of inducible promoters may also be considered. The use of inducible promoters provides a molecular switch that can turn on the expression of the polynucleotide sequence operatively linked to the inducible promoter during time-limited expression and turn off expression when expression is undesirable. Examples of inducible promoters include, but are not limited to, metallothionein promoters, glucocorticoid promoters, progesterone promoters, and tetracycline promoters.

[0112] The regulatory sequence can also be a suitable transcription terminator sequence, a sequence recognized by the host cell to terminate transcription. The terminator sequence is operatively linked to the 3' end of the nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide. Any terminator that is functional in a selected host cell can be used in this invention. The regulatory sequence can also be a suitable leader sequence, the untranslated region of mRNA important for translation by the host cell. The leader sequence is operatively linked to the 5' end of the nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide. Any terminator that is functional in a selected host cell can be used in this invention.

[0113] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid construct is a vector, such as a cloning vector, an expression vector, and an integration vector. Expression of the polynucleotide sequences of the present invention is typically achieved by operably linking the polynucleotide sequences of the present invention to an expression vector. Typical cloning vectors contain transcription and translation terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters that can be used to regulate the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence. Integration vectors contain components for integrating the target sequence into the cellular genome. These vectors can be used to transform appropriate host cells to enable them to express proteins. Vectors typically contain sequences for plasmid maintenance and for cloning and expressing exogenous nucleotide sequences. These sequences (collectively referred to as “flanking sequences” in some embodiments) typically include one or more of the following nucleotide sequences: a promoter, one or more enhancer sequences, an origin of replication, a transcription termination sequence, a complete intron sequence containing donor and acceptor splicing sites, a sequence encoding a leader sequence for polypeptide secretion, a ribosome binding site, a polyadenylated sequence, a multi-connector region for inserting a nucleic acid encoding an antibody to be expressed, and optional marker elements.

[0114] Furthermore, the type of vector is not limited; for example, plasmids, phage particles, phage derivatives, animal viruses, and entrapments can be modified depending on the host cell to be introduced. Viral vector technology is well known in the art and has been described, for example, in Sambrook et al. (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York) and other virology and molecular biology manuals. Viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses, and lentiviruses.

[0115] To assess the expression of CAR peptides or portions thereof, the vector introduced into cells may also contain one or both of an optional marker gene or reporter gene to facilitate the identification and selection of expressing cells from a population of cells seeking transfection or infection via a viral vector.

[0116] cell

[0117] The host cells suitable for introducing the nucleic acid constructs described herein can be prokaryotic cells, such as bacterial cells; lower eukaryotic cells, such as yeast cells; or higher eukaryotic cells, such as mammalian cells, especially immune cells, preferably immune effector cells. Representative examples include: Escherichia coli, Streptomyces; Salmonella typhimurium bacterial cells; fungal cells such as yeast; Drosophila S2 or Sf9 insect cells; and animal cells such as CHO, COS7, and 293 cells.

[0118] "Immune effector cells" are immune cells capable of performing immune effector functions. In some embodiments, immune effector cells express at least FcγRIII and perform ADCC effector functions. Examples of immune effector cells mediating ADCC include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, cytotoxic T cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils. Preferably, immune effector cells are selected from at least one of: immune cells cultured and differentiated from pluripotent stem cells or embryonic stem cells, T lymphocytes, NK cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and hematopoietic stem cells. More preferably, the immune effector cells are T lymphocytes (same as T cells). In some embodiments, T cells can be CD4+ / CD8-, CD4- / CD8+, CD4+ / CD8+, CD4- / CD8-, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, T cells produce IL-2, IFN, and / or TNF when expressing a chimeric antigen receptor and binding to target cells. In some implementations, CD8+ T cells lyse antigen-specific target cells when expressing chimeric antigen receptors and binding to target cells.

[0119] The T cells suitable for use in this invention can be of various types and origins. For example, T cells can be derived from PBMCs of patients with malignant solid tumors (e.g., pancreatic cancer). In some embodiments, after obtaining T cells, they can be activated by stimulation with an appropriate amount (e.g., 30–80 ng / ml, such as 50 ng / ml) of CD3 antibody, and then cultured in IL2 medium containing an appropriate amount (e.g., 30–80 IU / ml, such as 50 IU / ml) for later use.

[0120] Methods for introducing nucleic acids or vectors into mammalian cells are known in the art, and the vectors can be transferred into cells by physical, chemical, or biological methods. When the host is a prokaryote such as *Escherichia coli*, competent cells capable of absorbing DNA can be harvested after the exponential growth phase and treated with CaCl2, the steps of which are well known in the art. When the host is a eukaryote, DNA transfection methods such as calcium phosphate coprecipitation, conventional mechanical methods such as microinjection, electroporation, and liposome packaging can be used. In some embodiments, transduced or transfected immune effector cells proliferate in vitro after the introduction of nucleic acids or vectors.

[0121] The obtained transformants can be cultured using conventional methods to express the antibody or CAR encoded by the gene of this invention. Depending on the host cells used, the culture medium can be selected from various conventional media. Culture is carried out under conditions suitable for host cell growth. Once the host cells have grown to an appropriate cell density, the selected promoter is induced using a suitable method (such as temperature adjustment or chemical induction), and the cells are cultured for a further period.

[0122] The peptides used in the methods described above can be expressed intracellularly, on the cell membrane, or secreted extracellularly. If desired, the recombinant proteins can be separated and purified using various separation methods based on their physical, chemical, and other properties. These methods are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of these methods include, but are not limited to: conventional refolding treatment, treatment with protein precipitants (salting out), centrifugation, permeation, ultrafiltration, ultracentrifugation, molecular sieve chromatography (gel filtration), adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and various other liquid chromatography techniques, as well as combinations of these methods.

[0123] Uses and methods

[0124] By constructing a nanobody library, the inventors screened nanobodies that could bind to CD318. Using these nanobodies, the inventors constructed CAR and CAR-T cells. Cell-level experiments verified that the CAR-T cells have strong immune function, superior CD107a expression, IFN-γ and IL-2 secretion, and specific killing function against target cells, demonstrating significant in vivo efficacy.

[0125] All aspects of the antibodies, CARs, coding sequences, nucleic acid constructs, and cells described herein can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention or treatment of the various conditions and diseases described herein, which are diseases or conditions related to CD318 expression, referring to diseases directly or indirectly caused by abnormal CD318 expression, usually referring to diseases caused by CD318 overexpression, such as cancer, including but not limited to: breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer, and colorectal cancer.

[0126] This invention also includes a class of cell therapies comprising expressing the CAR described herein in immune cells (e.g., T cells) and administering a therapeutically effective amount of the cells to a recipient who requires them, the cells being capable of killing the recipient's tumor cells. Compared to antibody therapies, CAR-T cells can replicate in vivo, producing long-lasting durability that can lead to sustained tumor control. The anti-tumor immune response induced by CAR-T cells can be an active or passive immune response. Additionally, CAR-mediated immune responses can be part of an adoptive immunotherapy step, wherein CAR-T cells induce an immune response specific to the antigen-binding portion of the CAR.

[0127] The antibodies, nucleic acids, or CAR-modified cells of the present invention can be administered alone or as a pharmaceutical composition in combination with a diluent and / or other components such as associated cytokines or cell populations. In this regard, the pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared by mixing an active pharmaceutical agent of desired purity with an optional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in the form of a lyophilized formulation or an aqueous solution. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are non-toxic to the recipient at the dose and concentration used and may include at least one of buffers (e.g., neutral buffered saline, sulfate buffered saline), antioxidants, preservatives, isotonic agents, stabilizers, chelating agents (e.g., EDTA or glutathione), adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide), and surfactants. Furthermore, in order for the pharmaceutical compositions to be usable for in vivo administration, they must be sterile. The pharmaceutical compositions can be sterilized by filtration through a sterile filter membrane.

[0128] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may contain at least one additive selected from: a cytotoxic agent, a chemotherapeutic agent, a cytokine, an immunosuppressant, a growth inhibitor, and an active pharmaceutical agent required for the specific indication to be treated. The specific amount of the additive may be adjusted as needed. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be administered in amounts described as “immunologically effective,” “antitumor effective,” “tumor-inhibitory effective,” or “therapeutic.” “Therapeutic” refers to a subject receiving the treatment regimen described herein to achieve at least one positive therapeutic effect (e.g., a reduction in the number of cancer cells, a reduction in tumor volume, a decrease in the rate of cancer cell invasion into surrounding organs, or a decrease in the rate of tumor metastasis or tumor growth). When “immunologically effective,” “antitumor effective,” “tumor-inhibitory effective,” or “therapeutic” is indicated, the precise amount of the composition of the present invention to be administered may be determined by a physician, taking into account individual differences in the patient’s (subject’s) age, weight, tumor size, degree of infection or metastasis, and disease. Typically, a pharmaceutical composition including T cells as described herein may be administered in an amount of 10 4 Up to 10 9 A dose of cells / kg body weight, preferably 10. 5 Up to 10 6 The dosage is cells per kg of body weight. T-cell compositions can also be administered at these dosages multiple times. Cells can be administered using infusion techniques known in immunotherapy (see, for example, Rosenberg et al., New Eng. J. of Med. 319:1676, 1988). The optimal dosage and treatment regimen for a specific patient can be readily determined by a physician skilled in the medical field by monitoring the patient's disease signs and thus adjusting the treatment accordingly.

[0129] The composition can be administered in any convenient manner, including by spraying, injection, swallowing, infusion, implantation, or transplantation. The composition described herein can be administered to a patient subcutaneously, intradermally, intratumorally, intranodally, intraspinally, intramuscularly, intravenously, or intraperitoneally. In one embodiment, the T-cell composition of the present invention is administered to a patient by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. In another embodiment, the T-cell composition of the present invention is preferably administered by intravenous injection. The T-cell composition can be injected directly into the tumor, lymph node, or site of infection.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present invention, the CAR-T cells or compositions thereof of the present invention can be combined with other therapies known in the art. These therapies include, but are not limited to, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunosuppressants. For example, treatment may be combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy agents known in the art for treating mesothelin-mediated diseases.

[0131] In this article, "anti-tumor effect" refers to a biological effect that can be represented by a reduction in tumor volume, a reduction in the number of tumor cells, a reduction in the number of metastases, an increase in life expectancy, or an improvement in various cancer-related physiological symptoms.

[0132] The terms "patient," "subject," and "individual" are used interchangeably in this article to refer to a living organism, such as a mammal, that can elicit an immune response. Examples include, but are not limited to, humans, dogs, cats, mice, rats, and their transgenic species.

[0133] Diagnostics, tests and kits

[0134] The binding molecules of this invention, due to their high affinity for CD318, can be used for assays, such as binding assays, to detect and / or quantify CD318 expressed in tissues or cells. Binding molecules, such as single-domain antibodies, can be used in studies further investigating the role of CD318 in disease. The method for detecting CD318 generally involves obtaining cell and / or tissue samples; detecting the level of CD318 in the samples.

[0135] The CD318 binding molecule of this invention can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, or monitor CD318-related diseases and / or conditions. This invention provides methods for detecting the presence of CD318 in samples using classical immunohistochemical methods known to those skilled in the art. Detection of CD318 can be performed in vivo or in vitro. Examples of methods suitable for detecting the presence of CD318 include ELISA, FACS, RIA, etc.

[0136] For diagnostic applications, binding molecules such as single-domain antibodies are typically labeled with detectable labeling groups. Suitable labeling groups include (but are not limited to) the following: radioisotopes or radionuclides (e.g., 3H, 14C, 15N, 35S, 90Y, 99Tc, 111In, 125I, 131I), fluorescent groups (e.g., FITC, rhodamine, lanthanide phosphors), enzymatic groups (e.g., horseradish peroxidase, β-galactosidase, luciferase, alkaline phosphatase), chemiluminescent groups, biotinylated groups, or predetermined polypeptide epitopes recognized by secondary reporter molecules (e.g., leucine zipper pairs, binding sites for secondary antibodies, metal-binding domains, epitope tags), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) contrast agents. Various methods for labeling proteins are known in the art and can be used in carrying out this invention.

[0137] Another aspect of the invention provides a method for detecting the presence of a test molecule that competes with the antibody of the invention for binding to CD318. An example of such a determination would involve detecting the amount of free antibody in a solution containing a certain amount of CD318, in the presence or absence of the test molecule. An increase in the amount of free antibody (i.e., antibody not bound to CD318) would indicate that the test molecule is able to competitively bind to CD318 with the antibody. In one embodiment, the antibody is labeled with a labeling group. Alternatively, the test molecule is labeled and the amount of free test molecule is monitored in the presence or absence of the antibody.

[0138] This invention also provides a detection kit for detecting CD318 levels, comprising an antibody that recognizes the CD318 protein, a lysis medium for dissolving samples, and universal reagents and buffers required for detection, such as various buffers, detection labels, and detection substrates. This detection kit can be used as an in vitro diagnostic device.

[0139] The present invention will be described below by way of specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, the methods and materials used in the embodiments are conventional materials and methods in the art.

[0146] Example 2: Preparation of CD318VHH antibody

[0147] 1. Construction of VHH phage display library

[0148] A one-step method was used to construct a nanobody phage display library, which involved ligating the alpaca nanobody VHH gene into a phage display vector.

[0149] 1) Alpaca Immunization

[0150] Alpaca immunization services are provided by Chengdu Apak Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the specific operating procedures are as follows:

[0151] Alpaca Selection: Choose healthy, strong alpacas with good spirits and moderate size. Select alpacas with glossy coats and no signs of injury or discomfort. After selecting the animals, pre-raise them for about one week to weed out any unsuitable animals, ensuring the smooth progress of later experiments.

[0152] Immunization Protocol B: Select suitable alpacas and ensure they are fit. Record their ear tags and begin the immunization experiment. A total of four immunizations will be performed. The immunization protocol is as follows: D0, collect 10 mL of blood before immunization as a negative serum control. Mix 0.5 mg of antigen with 1 mL of CFA and inject subcutaneously; D21, mix 0.25 mg of antigen with 1 mL of CFA and inject subcutaneously; D28, collect 10 mL of blood; D42, mix 0.25 mg of antigen with 1 mL of CFA and inject subcutaneously; D49, collect 50 mL of peripheral blood and separate lymphocytes; D63, mix 0.25 mg of antigen with 1 mL of CFA and inject subcutaneously; D70, collect 50 mL of peripheral blood and separate lymphocytes.

[0153] C serum test:

[0154] a) Dilute the antigen to 2 μg / mL with 0.05 M carbonate buffer (pH 9.6), and coat it overnight at 4°C at a rate of 100 μL / well;

[0155] b) Discard the coating solution, wash 3 times with PBST, add 300 μL of 5% skim milk to each well, and block at 37°C for 1 h;

[0156] c) Wash 3 times with PBST, add 100 μL / well of serum diluent (start with serial dilution from 1:2000), incubate at 37°C for 45 min;

[0157] d) Wash 5 times with PBST, add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-Alpaca secondary antibody (diluted with PBS at a ratio of 1:1W) to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 45 min.

[0158] e) Wash the plate 5 times with PBST. Add TMB chromogenic solution (100 μL / well) for color development, incubate at 37°C for 5 min, then add stop solution (50 μL / well) to terminate the reaction. Measure the optical density at 450 nm.

[0159] 2) cDNA synthesis

[0160] Total RNA extraction from PBMCs: Peripheral blood lymphocytes preserved in Trizol were thawed on ice and transferred to 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes. 1 / 5 volume of chloroform was added, and the mixture was vortexed and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged at 12000 g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube, and an equal volume of isopropanol was added. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes and then centrifuged at 12000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The precipitate was washed with 75% ethanol, centrifuged at 7500 g for 5 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate was air-dried at room temperature and dissolved in an appropriate amount of RNase-free water. RNA purity was analyzed using the A260 / 280 ratio to prepare for RNA transcription.

[0161] cDNA Synthesis: Using SuperScript TM IV First-Strand Synthesis System kit, reverse transcribed to obtain cDNA and stored at -80℃.

[0162] 3) VHH gene amplification

[0163] Using alpaca PBMC cDNA as a template, the VHH-CH2 gene was amplified by PCR under the following conditions: pre-denaturation at 98℃ for 45 seconds, followed by temperature cycling: denaturation at 98℃ for 15 seconds, annealing at 58℃ for 20 seconds, extension at 72℃ for 45 seconds, for 30 cycles, and a final extension at 72℃ for 7 minutes. The PCR product was then subjected to 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the 750 bp target band was recovered using a gel extraction kit (Promega). Using VHH-CH2 as a template, the VHH gene was amplified by PCR under the following conditions: pre-denaturation at 98℃ for 45 seconds, followed by temperature cycling: denaturation at 98℃ for 15 seconds, annealing at 60℃ for 20 seconds, extension at 72℃ for 45 seconds, for 30 cycles, and a final extension at 72℃ for 7 minutes. After electrophoresis of the PCR products on a 1.5% agarose gel, the 400bp target band was recovered using a gel recovery kit (Promega).

[0164] 4) Construction of the VHH Library

[0165] The phage vector pcomb3X and the VHH gene were digested with SfiI DNA endonuclease at 50°C for 16 h. The digested pcomb3X vector was then subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the 4000 bp fragment was recovered using a Promega gel extraction kit. The digested VHH gene (400 bp) was directly recovered by column chromatography using a gel extraction kit. The VHH gene was ligated into the phage vector using an Invitrogen T4 DNA ligase kit and incubated overnight at 16°C. A small amount of the ligation product was taken for agarose gel electrophoresis to assess ligation efficiency. The ligation product was desalted using a MECK MILLIPOREF microporous membrane.

[0166] The ligation product was added to self-made TG1 electroporation competent cells, and then electroporation was performed using an electroporator. 50 μL of the bacterial culture was then serially diluted 10⁻⁶ times with PBS. 2 -10 510 μL of each serial dilution was flow-lined onto an Amp / 2YT plate and incubated overnight at 37°C. The size of the phage antibody library was then counted and determined. The remaining electroporated bacteria were replenished with 2YT to a final volume of 500 mL, and then incubated overnight at 30°C and 220 rpm with 100 μg / mL ampicillin. The final VHH immunotherapy library exceeded 9E9 cells. The electroporated antibody library was amplified overnight, and the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation and stored at -80°C with 20% glycerol to a final concentration.

[0167] A portion of the frozen alpaca natural antibody phage display library was inoculated into a 2YT culture set at an inoculation density of 0.1 OD. The bacterial culture was incubated at 37°C and 220 rpm for approximately 1.5 hours, until the bacterial density reached 0.6 OD. At this point, 20 times the number of M13KO7 phage cells were added and allowed to stand for 30 minutes for infection. The culture was then incubated overnight at 30°C and 220 rpm. The next day, the bacterial culture was centrifuged at 10,000 g, and the supernatant was collected. 1 / 4 volume of PEG / NaCl solution (20% PEG8000, 2.5 M NaCl) was added to the supernatant, mixed well, and incubated on ice for 1 hour. After the ice incubation, the culture was centrifuged at 8,000 g for 10 minutes, and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was dissolved in 10% Glycerol / PBST to obtain the VHH phage display library. The OD268 was measured, and the library was aliquoted into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes (6 OD / tube) and stored at -80°C.

[0168] 2. Select CD318VHH antibody

[0169] 1) Biotinylation of recombinant human CD318 protein

[0170] Using a biotinylation kit (EasyBio) following the kit instructions, the avi-tag of recombinant human CD318 protein was biotinylated to obtain biotinylated CD318 protein. 10 μg of the biotinylated recombinant protein was added to 100 μL of streptavidin magnetic beads (DynaBeads 280) that had been washed three times with PBS. The mixture was placed on a rotary shaker at 20 rpm and coupled at room temperature for 1 hour, followed by washing three times with PBS.

[0171] 2) Blocking phage libraries and negative magnetic beads

[0172] Take one vial of VHH lib, thaw it at room temperature, add 200 μL of 5% BSA / PBST, place it on a rotary shaker at 20 rpm, and incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. These phages are designated Input1. Simultaneously, take 100 μL of unconjugated DynaBeads280, wash it three times with PBS, add 1 mL of 1% BSA / PBS, and incubate under the same conditions for 1 hour.

[0173] 3) Blocking positive magnetic beads

[0174] Add 1 mL of 1% BSA / PBS to the magnetic beads coupled with CD318 and rotate at 20 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature.

[0175] 4) Negative screening

[0176] To remove antibodies that interact with the magnetic beads, negative panning is necessary. A BSA-blocked phage library and unconjugated magnetic beads are mixed and incubated under the conditions described above for 1 hour. After incubation, the phage-magnetic bead mixture is placed on a magnetic rack. Once the beads have adhered to the walls, the supernatant is transferred to a new EP tube.

[0177] 5) Positive screening

[0178] The blocked magnetic beads conjugated with CD318 protein were added to the negatively screened phage supernatant for positive screening. The mixture was rotated at 20 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature. After incubation, the magnetic beads were washed with 1 mL of PBST (0.1% Tween-20 in PBS), repeating the wash 10 times. After washing, 1 mL of 100 mM glycine (pH 2.0) was added, and the mixture was placed on a rotary shaker at 20 rpm for elution for 10 minutes. After elution, the EP tube was placed on a magnetic rack, and once the magnetic beads adhered to the walls, the eluent was transferred to a new EP tube. 0.2 mL of 1 M Tris-HCl solution (pH 8.0) was added to the eluent for neutralization. The neutralized eluent was added to 30 mL of TG1 bacterial culture with an OD600 of approximately 0.6 and allowed to stand for 30 minutes. Then, 20 times the number of M13KO7 phages were added and allowed to stand for another 30 minutes. Finally, 100 mL of 2YT medium and ampicillin and kanamycin at a final concentration of 100 μg / mL were added, and the mixture was incubated overnight at 30°C and 220 rpm. The next day, phages were harvested using the same method described above for harvesting phage libraries. The resulting phage was Input2.

[0179] 6) Repeated positive screening

[0180] The above selection method was repeated twice, that is, Input2 was subjected to a second round of negative and positive selection to obtain Input3. The difference was that after the eluent obtained from Input3 was infected with TG1, M13KO7 was not added. Instead, 10 μL of bacterial culture was serially diluted with PBS, and 10 μL of the solution was used. 3 10 4 10 5 Spread 100 μL of bacterial culture from each of the three dilution gradients onto 2YT / Amp plates and incubate overnight at 30°C. Incubate the remaining bacterial culture overnight at 30°C and 220 rpm.

[0181] 7) ELISA screening for positive antibodies

[0182] Using a pipette tip, randomly pick TG1 monoclonal antibodies from the above plates and transfer them to 800 μL of a deep-well plate containing 10× self-induced 2 YT / Amp. Cover the deep-well plate with a breathable membrane and incubate at 37°C and 220 rpm for 3 hours, then incubate overnight at 30°C and 220 rpm. Coat each well of the ELISA plate with 100 ng of recombinant human CD318 protein. The next day, first take 50 μL of the culture medium from the deep-well plate to preserve the bacteria, and centrifuge the remaining medium at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove the culture medium, retaining the bacterial pellet. Add 100 μL of TES solution (20% sucrose, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0) to each well, shake to resuspend the bacteria, incubate on ice for 30 minutes, then add 200 μL of ultrapure water and shake to mix for 30 minutes. After shaking, centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant in the deep-well plate at this point is the periplasmic extract containing the antibody. Wash the ELISA plate three times with a plate washer, then add 200 μL of 1% BSA / PBS and block at 37°C for 1 hour. Remove the blocking solution from the ELISA plate, add 100 μL of the above-mentioned periplasmic extract, incubate at 37°C for 1 hour, wash three times with a plate washer, add 100 μL of Chicken anti-HA HRP (1% BSA / PBS), incubate at 37°C for 1 hour, wash three times with a plate washer, add 100 μL of TMB chromogenic solution, develop at 37°C for 10 minutes, and add 100 μL of stop solution. Read the OD450 value using a microplate reader. Perform Sanger sequencing on clones with OD450 values ​​three times higher than the background value to obtain the antibody gene sequence.

[0183] 8) Verify positive clones

[0184] Based on the sequencing results, clones with significant amino acid sequence differences in antibody CDR3 were selected, re-inoculated, and induced overnight. The ELISA method described above was then used to verify again whether the selected clones could bind to CD318. Finally, eight antibody sequences were obtained: 4A4, 4A8, 4A10, 4B2, 4B7, 4B12, 4F5, and 4G2. The amino acid sequences of 4A4, 4A8, 4A10, 4B2, 4B7, and 4G2 are shown in SEQ ID NO:19-24, respectively.

Based on the different VHH loading, the chimeric antigen receptors are named 4A4-BBz, 4A8-BBz, 4A10-BBz, 4B2-BBz, 4B7-BBz, 4B12-BBz, 4F5-BBz, and 4G2-BBz, respectively. The amino acid sequences of 4A4-BBz, 4A8-BBz, 4A10-BBz, 4B2-BBz, 4B7-BBz, and 4G2-BBz are shown in SEQ ID NO. 30-35, and the nucleotide sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO. 36 to SEQ ID NO. 41, respectively.

[0188] Using the reverse transcription vector MSGV as the backbone, chimeric antigen receptor retroviral plasmids expressing clones 4A4-BBz, 4A8-BBz, 4A10-BBz, 4B2-BBz, 4B7-BBz, 4B12-BBz, 4F5-BBz, and 4G2-BBz were constructed. Clones with correct sequencing were selected, inoculated into 200 ml of 2YT medium, cultured overnight, and plasmids were extracted using the NucleoBondXtra MaxiEF kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0189] 2. Retroviral packaging

[0190] The retrovirus was packaged using the cationic polymer PEI as follows: 36 μL of PEI and the retrovirus packaging plasmid (6 μg of main viral plasmid, 3.8 μg of Gag-pol, and 1.5 μg of vsvg) were diluted separately with 600 μL of serum-free DMEM; then, PEI / DMEM was added to the plasmid / DMEM mixture, vortexed to mix, and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes; the plasmid-PEI complex was added to pre-coated 293T cells. The medium was changed 16 h after transfection, and the first viral supernatant was collected after 48 h, and the second viral supernatant was collected after 72 h. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter, aliquoted into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes (1 mL / tube), and stored at -80 °C for later use.

Resuspend the cells in an appropriate amount of DPBS, mix 20μl with trypan blue at a 1:1 ratio, count the cells, calculate the viability and CD3+ cell count, then take the required volume of cells, centrifuge at 1500rpm for 5min at room temperature, discarding the supernatant for sorting. Calculate the amount of magnetic beads used according to a 1:1 ratio of CD3 / CD28 magnetic beads to CD3+ cells: Magnetic bead amount = [CD3+ cell count / 4 × 10⁻⁶] 5 **μl.** Cleaning the magnetic beads: Take a sterile flow cytometry tube, add 2ml of DPBS and magnetic beads, and let it stand on a magnetic rack for 1 min. Discard the supernatant.

NT samples (1×10⁻⁶) were collected from the chimeric antigen receptor group containing clones 4A4, 4A8, 4A10, 4B2, 4B7, 4B12, 4F5, and 4G2, and from the negative, uninfected control group. 6 Cells were centrifuged to remove the culture medium, washed once with 500 μL PBS, and resuspended in 100 μL of PBS in a flow cytometry tube (BD). Biotin-labeled CD318 antigen (1:200) was added and incubated at °C for 30 minutes. After washing once with PBS, secondary antibody PE-SA streptavidin (BioLegend) was added at a 1:100 ratio and incubated at °C in the dark for 30 minutes. After washing with 500 μL PBS, cells were resuspended in 200 μL PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry. The CAR-T positivity rate results are shown below. Figure 3 As shown.
