Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of protein purification, and specifically relates to a method for purifying a monoclonal antibody. Background Art

[0002] CC chemokine receptor 8 protein (CCR8) is specifically and highly expressed on the surface of Treg cells in human tumor tissues. Anti-CCR8 antibodies can eliminate Treg cells in tumor tissues but not in normal tissues, and have good safety. At the same time, they can block the CCL1 / CCR8 pathway, and combined with PD-1 / PD-L1, it is expected to increase the drug response rate of tumor patients and enhance tumor immunity.

[0003] The monoclonal antibody J06 against human CCR8 is an innovative target monoclonal antibody drug expressed by CHO cells independently developed by the applicant. The complete molecule of this monoclonal antibody consists of 2 heavy chains (HC) and 2 light chains (LC), each heavy chain consists of 453 amino acid residues; each light chain consists of 219 amino acid residues.

[0004] The above-mentioned anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 can block the CCL1 / CCR8 pathway, and is expected to improve the drug response rate of tumor patients in combination with PD-1 / PD-L1 to enhance tumor immunity. Since CCR8 is specifically and highly expressed on regulatory T cells (Treg) infiltrating tumors, it can bind to CCR8 on the surface of Treg cells in the tumor site and initiate ADCC to specifically eliminate Treg cells in tumor tissues, so it has good safety.

[0005] The anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 produces a large amount of process-related impurities (such as host cell protein residues, exogenous DNA residues, etc.) and product-related impurities (high molecular weight substances (HMWS), low molecular weight substances (LMWS), charge isomers, etc.) during the expression process. These impurities pose a huge challenge to downstream purification. The traditional three-step chromatography, affinity capture + preliminary purification + fine purification, can achieve the purpose of removing impurities and related residual standards. However, due to the high impurity content and many chromatography steps, the recovery rate of the entire process will be low. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present disclosure provides a method for purifying the anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 by two-step chromatography. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Preferably, the formulation substantially maintains its physical and chemical stability, as well as its biological activity after storage. The storage period is generally selected based on the shelf life of the formulation. Various analytical techniques for measuring protein stability are available in the art. Stability can be measured at a selected temperature for a selected time. Stability can be assessed qualitatively and / or quantitatively in many different ways, including assessing aggregate formation (e.g., using size exclusion chromatography, by measuring turbidity, and / or by visual observation); assessing charge heterogeneity by using cation exchange chromatography or capillary partition electrophoresis; amino-terminal or carboxyl-terminal sequence analysis; mass spectrometry; SDS-PAGE analysis to compare reduced and intact antibodies; peptide mapping; assessing biological activity or antigen binding function of antibodies; and the like. Instability can include any one or more of the following: aggregation, deamidation (e.g., Asn deamidation), oxidation (e.g., Met oxidation), isomerization (e.g., Asp isomerization), cleavage / hydrolysis / fragmentation (e.g., hinge region fragmentation), succinimide formation, unpaired cysteines, N-terminal extension, C-terminal processing, differences in glycosylation, and the like.

[0021] The engineered antibodies disclosed herein can be prepared by conventional methods. For example, cDNA sequences encoding heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into expression vectors. The recombinant immunoglobulin expression vector can be stably transfected into CHO cells. As a more recommended prior art, mammalian expression systems can lead to glycosylation of antibodies, especially at the highly conserved N-terminus of the Fc region. Stable clones are obtained by expressing antibodies that specifically bind to human antigens. Positive clones are expanded in serum-free medium in a bioreactor to produce antibodies. 2.

[0067] Note: N / A means not tested or not applicable

[0068] Comparative Example: Purification of anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 by two-step chromatography using affinity chromatography and Capto adhere column chromatography

[0069] The monoclonal antibody J06 against human CCR8 was purified by two-step chromatography using affinity chromatography and Capto adhere column chromatography, comprising the following steps:

[0070] (1) Affinity chromatography: The clarified culture harvest fluid expressing the anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 was loaded onto a MabSelect SuRe LX affinity chromatography column (Cytiva, batch number: 10287596) equilibrated with a buffer (25mmol / L Tris-HCl, 200mmol / L NaCl, pH 7.15), and the impurities were washed with eluent 1 (25mmol / L Tris, 0.5mol / L Arg-HCl, pH7.43) and eluent 2 (20mmol / L NaAc, pH5.65), respectively, and then the eluent (30mmol / L NaAc-HAc, pH3.36) was used for isocratic elution, and the elution peak was collected. The peak range was 100mAU-100mAU. The chromatography column was regenerated with a regeneration solution (0.1mol / LNaOH).

[0071] (2) Capto adhere column (Cytiva, batch number: 10292076): Equilibrate the Capto adhere column with 8 column volumes of buffer (50 mmol / L NaAc-HAc, 0.4 mol / L NaCl, pH 5.99). Use sample treatment solution (4 mol / L NaCl) to adjust the sample conductivity to 37.30 mS / cm and the sample pH to 6.03. Load the treated sample onto the equilibrated Capto adhere column. During the loading process, UV 280 When the flow-through reaches 100mAU, collect the liquid. After the loading is completed, use buffer (50mmol / L NaAc-HAc, 0.4mol / L NaCl, pH 5.99) to top-wash the column.

First, the human CCR8 protein was coated on a 96-well plate, and then the test sample was added in gradient dilutions. The anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 binds to the human CCR8 protein coated on the well plate, and then a peroxidase-labeled sheep anti-human IgG secondary antibody is added to the well plate. These detection antibodies can bind to the anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 captured in the previous step. Finally, TMB substrate solution was added to the well plate for color development and the absorbance at 450nm was read. Using the SoftMax Pro computer software, a four-parameter fitting regression model was used to draw the curve and calculate the EC 50 The results are shown in Table 3. The results show that the anti-human CCR8 monoclonal antibody J06 has a good binding activity with the CCR8 protein.
