[0149] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0150] Definition of terms
[0151] The present application is further described below. Unless otherwise indicated, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, terms and laboratory procedures related to protein and nucleic acid chemistry, molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, microbiology, and immunology used herein are those commonly used in the respective fields. To facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.
[0152] In this application, the term "isolated" generally refers to a substance obtained artificially from its natural state. If a substance or component is "isolated" in nature, it may be that its natural environment has been altered, or that the substance has been separated from its natural environment, or both. For example, a polynucleotide or polypeptide that is naturally present in a living animal and has not been separated is considered isolated. The term "isolated" does not exclude the presence of artificial or synthetic substances, nor does it exclude the presence of other impure substances that do not affect the activity of the substance.
[0153] In this application, the term "isolated antigen-binding protein" generally refers to a protein with antigen-binding ability obtained from a natural state by artificial means. The "isolated antigen-binding protein" may comprise a portion that binds to an antigen and, optionally, a scaffold or framework portion that allows the antigen-binding portion to adopt a conformation that promotes the binding of the antigen-binding portion to the antigen. The antigen-binding protein may comprise, for example, an antibody-derived protein scaffold or an alternative protein scaffold or an artificial scaffold having transplanted CDRs or CDR derivatives. Such scaffolds include, but are not limited to, antibody-derived scaffolds comprising mutations introduced, for example, to stabilize the three-dimensional structure of the antigen-binding protein and fully synthetic scaffolds comprising, for example, biocompatible polymers. See, for example, Korndorfer et al., 2003, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 53(1): 121-129 (2003); Roque et al., Biotechnol. Prog. 20: 639-654 (2004). Additionally, peptide antibody mimetics ("PAMs") as well as antibody mimetic-based scaffolds utilizing fibronectin components can be used as scaffolds.
[0154] In this application, the term "KD" or "K D” is often referred to as “affinity constant” or “equilibrium dissociation constant” and refers to the value obtained in a titration measurement at equilibrium, or by dividing the dissociation rate constant (kd) by the association rate constant (ka). The association rate constant (ka), dissociation rate constant (kd), and equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) are used to express the binding affinity of a binding protein (e.g., an isolated antigen-binding protein described herein) for an antigen (e.g., LILRB4 protein). Methods for determining association and dissociation rate constants are well known in the art. The use of fluorescence-based techniques provides high sensitivity and the ability to examine samples in physiological buffers at equilibrium. For example, the KD can be determined by Octet The KD value can also be determined using other experimental approaches and instruments such as BIAcore (biomolecular interaction analysis) (e.g., an instrument available from BIAcore International AB, a GE Healthcare company, Uppsala, Sweden). In addition, the KD value can also be determined using KinExA (Kinetic Exclusion Assay) available from Sapidyne Instruments (Boise, Idaho), or using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument to determine the KD value.
[0155] In this application, the term "LILRB4 protein" generally refers to leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4). In this application, the term covers the entire LILRB4 and its functionally active fragments, variants, homologues, analogs and derivatives.
[0156] In this application, the term "specific binding" or "specific" generally refers to a measurable and reproducible interaction, such as binding between a target and an antibody, which can be determined in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules (including biomolecules). For example, an antibody that specifically binds to a target (which can be an epitope) is one that binds to that target with greater affinity, avidity, more readily, and / or for a greater duration than it binds to other targets. In one embodiment, the extent to which the antibody binds to an unrelated target is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to the target, as measured, for example, by radioimmunoassay (RIA). For example, in this application, the isolated antigen binding protein is capable of binding to an unrelated target at a rate of <2x10 -7 The specific binding may include but is not limited to exclusive binding.
[0157] In this application, the term "variable domain" generally refers to the amino-terminal domain of an antibody heavy or light chain. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains can be referred to as "VH" and "VL," respectively (or "VH" and "VL," respectively). These domains are generally the most variable parts of an antibody (relative to other antibodies of the same type) and contain the antigen-binding site.
[0158] In this application, the term "variable" generally refers to the fact that certain segments of the variable domains differ greatly in sequence between antibodies. The V domain mediates antigen binding and determines the specificity of a particular antibody for its specific antigen. However, variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domain. Instead, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (CDRs or HVRs) in the light and heavy chain variable domains. The more highly conserved parts of the variable domains are called framework regions (FRs). The variable domains of natural heavy and light chains each contain four FR regions, most of which adopt a β-sheet configuration and are connected by three CDRs, which form a loop connection and, in some cases, form part of the β-sheet structure. The CDRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FR region, and the CDRs from the other chain together contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site of the antibody (see Kabat et al, Sequences of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). The constant domains are not directly involved in binding an antibody to an antigen, but exhibit various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
[0159] In this application, the term "antibody" generally refers to an immunoglobulin or a fragment or derivative thereof, encompassing any polypeptide comprising an antigen binding site, whether produced in vitro or in vivo. The term includes, but is not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, monospecific, multispecific, nonspecific, humanized, single-chain, chimeric, synthetic, recombinant, hybrid, mutated and transplanted antibodies. Unless otherwise modified by the term "complete", as in "complete antibody", for the purposes of the present invention, the term "antibody" also includes antibody fragments such as Fab, F(ab')2, Fv, scFv, Fd, dAb and other antibody fragments that retain antigen binding function (e.g., specific binding to LILRB4). Typically, such fragments should include an antigen binding domain. The basic 4-chain antibody unit is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains. IgM antibodies are composed of five basic heterotetrameric units and an additional polypeptide called the J chain, containing 10 antigen-binding sites. IgA antibodies, on the other hand, consist of two to five basic four-chain units that can combine with the J chain to form multivalent combinations. For IgG, the four-chain unit is generally approximately 150,000 daltons. Each L chain is linked to an H chain by a covalent disulfide bond, while the two H chains are interconnected by one or more disulfide bonds that depend on the H chain isotype. Each H and L chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each H chain has a variable domain (VH) at its N-terminus, followed by three constant domains (CH) for each of the α and γ chains and four CH domains for the μ and ε isotypes. Each L chain has a variable domain (VL) at its N-terminus and a constant domain at its other end. The VL corresponds to the VH, and the CL corresponds to the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain. Specific amino acid residues are believed to form the interface between the light and heavy chain variable domains. VH and VL pair together to form a single antigen binding site. For the structure and properties of different classes of antibodies, see, for example, Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th Edition, Daniel P. Sties, Abba I. Terr and Tristram G. Parsolw (eds), Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, Conn., 1994, page 71 and Chapter 6. The L chain from any vertebrate species can be divided into one of two distinct types, called κ and λ, based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain. Depending on the amino acid sequence of its heavy chain (CH) constant domain, immunoglobulins can be divided into different classes or isotypes. There are five classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, with heavy chains designated α, δ, ε, γ and μ, respectively.The gamma and alpha classes are further divided into subclasses based on relatively small differences in CH sequence and function, eg, humans express the following subclasses: IgGl, IgG2A, IgG2B, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgKl.
[0160] In this application, the term "CDR" generally refers to the region of the antibody variable domain, whose sequence is highly variable and / or forms a structural definition loop. Typically, an antibody includes six CDRs; three in VH (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3), and three in VL (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3). In natural antibodies, HCDR3 and LCDR3 show most of the diversity of the six CDRs, and HCDR3 in particular is considered to play a unique role in conferring fine specificity on antibodies. See, for example, Xu et al, Immunity 13:37-45 (2000); Johnson and Wu, in Methods in Molecular Biology 248:1-25 (Lo, ed., Human Press, Totowa, NJ, 2003). In fact, naturally occurring camel antibodies consisting only of heavy chains function normally and stably in the absence of light chains. See, eg, Hamers-Casterman et al., Nature 363:446-448 (1993); Sheriff et al, Nature Struct. Biol. 3:733-736 (1996).
[0161] In the present application, the term "FR" generally refers to the more highly conserved part of the antibody variable domain, which is referred to as the framework region. Typically, the variable domains of native heavy and light chains each include four FR regions, i.e., four (H-FR1, H-FR2, H-FR3, and H-FR4) in VH, and four (L-FR1, L-FR2, L-FR3, and L-FR4) in VL. For example, the VL of the antigen-binding proteins of the separation described herein can include framework regions L-FR1, L-FR2, L-FR3, and L-FR4. The VH of the antigen-binding proteins of the separation described herein can include framework regions H-FR1, H-FR2, H-FR3, and H-FR4.
[0162] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" generally refers to one or more fragments that have the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., LILRB4 protein). As used herein, the antigen-binding fragment may include Fab, Fab', F(ab)2, Fv fragment, F(ab')2, scFv, di-scFv, and / or dAb.
[0163] In this application, the term "monoclonal antibody" or "monoclonal antibody" or "monoclonal antibody composition" generally refers to an antibody molecule preparation of a single molecular composition. A monoclonal antibody composition exhibits a single binding specificity and affinity for a specific epitope.
[0164] In this application, the term "single-chain antibody" generally refers to a molecule comprising an antibody heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. For example, the single-chain antibody can be formed by connecting the antibody heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region through a linker (e.g., a connecting peptide).
[0165] In this application, the term "human antibody" generally refers to antibodies whose variable region framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In addition, if the antibody contains a constant region, it is also derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the present application may contain amino acid residues that are not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences, such as mutations introduced by random mutations or point mutations in vitro or by somatic mutations in vivo. However, the term "human antibody" does not include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from other mammalian species are inserted into human framework sequences.
[0166] In this application, the term "murine antibody" generally refers to antibodies whose variable region framework and CDR regions are derived from mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences. In addition, if the antibody contains a constant region, it is also derived from mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences. The murine antibody of the present application may contain amino acid residues not encoded by mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences, such as mutations introduced by in vitro random mutations or point mutations or by in vivo somatic mutations. However, the term "murine antibody" does not include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from other mammalian species are inserted into the mouse framework sequence.
[0167] In this application, the term "chimeric antibody" generally refers to an antibody that is derived from a combination of non-human genetic material and human genetic material. Or more generally, a chimeric antibody refers to an antibody that combines genetic material from one species with genetic material from another species.
[0168] In this application, the term "multispecific antibody" generally refers to an antibody molecule that can simultaneously recognize two or more antigens or epitopes. The multispecific antibody can be obtained in a eukaryotic expression system or a prokaryotic expression system by chemical coupling, hybridization-hybridoma method, genetic engineering antibody preparation method, etc.
[0169] In this application, the term "humanized antibody" generally refers to an antibody derived from a non-human species but whose protein sequence has been modified to increase its similarity to naturally occurring antibodies in humans.
[0170] In this application, the term "fully human antibody" generally refers to a fully human antibody, i.e., an antibody whose constant and variable regions are both derived from humans. Such fully human antibodies can be achieved through phage antibody library technology, transgenic mouse production of humanized antibodies, ribosome display technology, EBV-transformed B cell cloning technology, single B cell cloning, and other technologies.
[0171] In the present application, the term "directly connected" is contrasted with the term "indirectly connected", and the term "directly connected" generally refers to direct connection. For example, the direct connection can be a situation where the substances are directly connected without a spacer. The spacer can be a linker. For example, the linker can be a peptide linker. The term "indirectly connected" generally refers to a situation where the substances are not directly connected. For example, the indirect connection can be a situation where the substances are connected through a spacer. For example, in the isolated antigen-binding protein described in the present application, the C-terminus of the L-FR1 and the N-terminus of the LCDR1 can be directly or indirectly connected.
[0172] In this application, the terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably and generally refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The term may be used to refer to an amino acid polymer in which one or more amino acid residues is a synthetic chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, and may also be used to refer to naturally occurring amino acid polymers, those containing modified residues, and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers.
[0173] In this application, the term "fusion protein" generally refers to a protein composed of two or more polypeptides, which, although not normally bound in nature, are bound together by peptide bonds at their respective amino and carboxyl termini to form a continuous polypeptide.

[0183] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0184] Isolated antigen binding protein
[0185] The CDR of an antibody, also known as the complementarity determining region, is part of the variable region. The amino acid residues in this region can contact the antigen or antigenic epitope. Antibody CDRs can be determined using a variety of coding systems, such as CCG, Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, AbM, and a combination of Kabat / Chothia. These coding systems are known in the art, and for details, see, for example, http: / / www.bioinf.org.uk / abs / index.html#kabatnum. Those skilled in the art can use different coding systems to determine the CDR region based on the sequence and structure of the antibody. Using different coding systems, there may be differences in the CDR region. In this application, the CDR covers CDR sequences obtained by any CDR division method; it also covers variants thereof, wherein the variant includes the amino acid sequence of the CDR being substituted, deleted, and / or having one or more amino acids added. For example, 1-30, 1-20 or 1-10, and for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 amino acid substitutions, deletions and / or insertions; homologs thereof are also encompassed, and the homologs can be amino acid sequences having at least about 85% (e.g., at least about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99% or more) sequence homology to the amino acid sequence of the CDR. For example, the CDRs of the isolated antigen-binding proteins described in the sequence listing of the present application can be determined using Kabat.
[0186] On the one hand, the present application provides an isolated antigen-binding protein, which may comprise at least one CDR in the VH as shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:81, SEQ ID NO:33 and SEQ ID NO:22; and / or comprise at least one CDR in the VL as shown in SEQ ID NO:82 or SEQ ID NO:40.

Groups of amino acid residues with similar side chains are known in the art. These amino acid residue groups include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), non-polar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). In certain embodiments, one or more amino acid residues in the CDR region of the isolated antigen-binding protein described herein can be replaced with other amino acid residues from the same side chain group. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that some conservative sequence modifications will not abolish antigen binding.

[0360] On days 0, 14, and 28, Balb / c mice were subcutaneously injected with 100 μg of LILRB4-Fc in the presence of Freund's complete adjuvant (first injection) or Freund's incomplete adjuvant (second and third injections). Splenocytes from the mice were fused with mouse myeloma cells SP2 / 0 (ATCC) using conventional hybridoma technology protocols (Salhi et al., Biochem. J. 2004). The cells were cultured in plates containing HAT medium (10 cells per well). 5Cells were used for hybridoma selection. After 12 days, the supernatant was harvested and clones with binding specificity to LILRB4 (positive clones) were screened by direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Through screening, a series of mouse monoclonal antibodies targeting the extracellular domain (ECD) of human LILRB4 were obtained.

The chimeric antibodies were then affinity purified using conventional Protein A and named 1A2-7, 3A2-18, 3G9-1, and 5E11-2. The amino acid sequences of the chimeric antibodies are shown in the table below, where the CDR sequences were divided using the Kabat method.
