Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 monoclonal antibody and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] HER2, also known as Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2, is a transmembrane receptor-like protein with tyrosine kinase activity, which plays an important role in cell signal transduction. HER2 gene is located on chromosome 17q12-21.32, and encodes a protein with a relative molecular mass of 185kD. In normal tissues, the expression level of HER2 is low. However, in some malignant tumors, such as breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, etc., the expression of HER2 may be significantly increased, which is closely related to the invasiveness, recurrence and metastasis risk of tumors. For HER2-positive tumor patients, especially breast cancer patients, targeted therapy has become an important treatment method, such as trastuzumab and other anti-HER2 drugs, which can specifically act on HER2-positive cells to inhibit the growth and spread of tumors, thereby improving the treatment effect. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides the following technical solutions.

[0004] The present application provides an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, which comprises a heavy chain variable region CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:1, a heavy chain variable region CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:2, a heavy chain variable region CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:3, a light chain variable region CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:8, a light chain variable region CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:9, and a light chain variable region CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:10.

[0005] Further, the division of the CDR includes but is not limited to Kabat, IMGT, Chothia, AbM or Contact numbering system.

[0006] The term "CDR" and "complementarity determining region" used in the present application can be used interchangeably, and refers to a part of the variable chain of an antibody that participates in binding to an antigen. Therefore, the CDR is part of an "antigen binding fragment" or an "antigen binding fragment". In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibody comprises three heavy chain variable region CDRs and three light chain variable region CDRs that collectively form an antigen binding fragment. "CDR" can refer to CDR defined by any method known in the art, including a combination of methods.

[0007] Further, the sequences of the heavy chain variable region framework regions FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4 of the monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof have at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 4-7, respectively; and the sequences of the light chain variable region framework regions FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4 of the monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment have at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 11-14, respectively.

In some more particular embodiments, sequence identity is calculated by: determining the number of positions at which the same nucleic acid base (e.g., A, T, C, G, I) or the same amino acid residue (e.g., Ala, Pro, Ser, Thr, Gly, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Lys, Arg, His, Asp, Glu, Asn, Gin, Cys, and Met) occurs in both sequences in a comparison window, dividing the number of matching positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percent sequence identity.

[0009] Further, the sequences of the heavy chain variable region framework regions FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4 of the monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof are as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 4-7, respectively; and the sequences of the light chain variable region framework regions FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4 of the monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof are as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 11-14, respectively.

[0017] The term "human epidermal growth factor receptor 2" is used herein in reference to the full-length human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein from humans (NCBI Gene ID: 2064), which is abbreviated as HER2, "ErbB2", "HER2", and "human epidermal growth factor receptor 2" are used interchangeably herein.

[0018] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and includes various antibody structures including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. An "antibody binding site," "antibody binding fragment," "antigen binding fragment," or "antigen binding site" is a structural part of an antibody molecule that specifically binds an antigen, comprising heavy and light chain variable and hypervariable regions (CDRs). The particular properties of an antibody are related to the immunoglobulin isotype. Antibodies or fragments can also be from species of any origin including avian (e.g., chicken, turkey, duck, goose, quail, etc.) and mammalian (e.g., human, non-human primate, mouse, rat, rabbit, bovine, goat, sheep, horse, pig, dog, cat, etc.).

[0019] The term "monoclonal antibody" is used in the art and refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies that bind to the same antigenic determinant (epitope). By "substantially homogeneous" is meant that the individual antibodies are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present. This is in contrast to polyclonal antibodies, which typically include different antibodies directed against various different antigenic determinants (epitopes). The term "monoclonal antibody" encompasses both intact and full-length monoclonal antibodies, as well as antibody fragments (such as Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv), single chain (scFv) mutants, fusion proteins including an antibody portion, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule that comprises an antigen recognition site. "Monoclonal antibodies" and antigen-binding fragments thereof are produced in a number of ways, including but not limited to, by hybridoma, phage selection, recombinant expression, and transgenic animals.

[0020] In some embodiments, the VH region (heavy chain variable region) and VL region (light chain variable region) can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy chain, light chain (VH and VL, respectively) form the antigen binding site.
