Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of antibody drugs, and specifically relates to an anti-CD16A nano antibody, a bispecific antibody containing the same, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] There are three major categories of human IgG Fc receptors: FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32) and FcγRIII (CD16). CD16 (FcγRIII) is a low-affinity Fc receptor that binds to the Fc portion of IgG antibodies. Studies have found that CD16 is encoded by two different highly homologous genes in a cell type-specific manner, namely FcγRIIIa (CD16a) and FcγRIIIb (CD16b), with a homology of up to 94%. CD16A has two mutants, F176 and V176. CD16A has a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail, and is expressed on the surface of NK cells, monocytes and macrophages. It is also expressed in small amounts on the surface of DC cells. It is an activating receptor whose main function is to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). It is the receptor most associated with activating innate immune cells with killing functions (such as NK cells). CD16b is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptor expressed on granulocytes and does not trigger the killing of tumor cells.

[0003] The CD16 molecule is an indispensable condition for NK cells to initiate the ADCC effect. In particular, the single-domain antibody VHH fragment is more suitable for the development of bispecific antibodies due to its advantages such as smaller molecular weight and good thermal stability. Therefore, nanoantibodies are of great value in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases, and also have great development prospects in the antibody-targeted diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

[0091] In order to better understand the present invention, some terms are first defined. Other definitions are listed throughout the detailed description.

[0092] The term "variable region" refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to an antigen. VH and VL each contain four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Among them, the term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the region within the variable domain that primarily contributes to antigen binding; "framework" or "FR" refers to the variable domain residues other than the CDR residues. VH contains three CDR regions: HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3; VL contains three CDR regions: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.

[0093] In the present invention, the scFv (single chain antibody fragment) VH domain and VL domain are connected by a linker (also called a connector) to form a polypeptide chain. The VL and VH domains are paired to form a monovalent molecule by a connector that enables them to be produced as a single polypeptide chain [see, for example, Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988) and Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883 (1988)]. Such scFv molecules may have a general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers are composed of repeated G4S amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having an amino acid sequence (G4S)4 or (G4S)3 may be used, but variants thereof may also be used.

[0094] The term "epitope" refers to an area (area or region) on an antigen that can specifically bind to an antibody. An epitope can be formed by a continuous string of amino acids (linear epitope) or contain non-continuous amino acids (conformational epitope), for example, due to the folding of the antigen (i.e., tertiary folding of the antigen by protein properties) and become spatially accessible. The difference between a conformational epitope and a linear epitope is that the binding of the antibody to the conformational epitope is lost in the presence of a denaturing solvent. The epitope contains at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Screening for antibodies that bind to a specific epitope (i.e., those that bind to the same epitope) can be performed using routine methods in the art, such as, but not limited to, alanine scanning, peptide blotting (see Meth. Mol. Biol. 248 (2004) 443-463).

[0095] The term "specific binding" refers to an antibody that binds to an antigen or an epitope within the antigen with a higher affinity than it does to other antigens or epitopes.-7 M or smaller (e.g., about 1×10 -8 M or smaller, about 1×10 - 9 M or smaller, about 1×10 -10 M or smaller, about 1×10 -11 M or smaller, or about 1×10 -12 In some embodiments, the antibody binds to the antigen with an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 1.4 M or less. In some embodiments, the antibody binds to the antigen with a KD that is 10% or 1% of the KD of the antibody binding to a non-specific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein). The KD can be measured using standard procedures, such as by BIACORE® surface plasmon resonance assay. However, antibodies that specifically bind to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen may have cross-reactivity to other related antigens, for example, to the same antigen from other species (homologous) such as humans or monkeys, such as Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus, cyno), chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) (chimpanzee, chimp) or marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) (commonmarmoset, marmoset).

[0096] The term "affinity" refers to the overall strength of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise specified, as used herein, "affinity" refers to internal binding affinity, which reflects 1:1 interactions between members of a binding pair (e.g., an antibody and an antigen). The affinity of a molecule X to its ligand Y can generally be represented by a dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by conventional methods known in the art (including those described herein). The term "kassoc" or "ka" refers to the association rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, while the term "kdis" or "kd" as used herein refers to the dissociation rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. As used herein, the term "KD" refers to a dissociation constant, which is obtained from the ratio of kd to ka (i.e., kd / ka) and is expressed as a molar concentration (M). The KD value of an antibody can be determined using a well-established method in the art. Methods for determining antibody KD include measuring surface plasmon resonance using biosensing systems such as the ELISA system, or measuring affinity in solution by solution equilibrium titration (SET).

[0097] The term "EC50", also known as half maximal effect concentration, refers to the antibody concentration that causes 50% of the maximal effect.

[0098] The term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid connected thereto. One type of vector is a "plasmid", which refers to a circular double-stranded DNA loop in which another DNA segment can be connected. Another type of vector is a viral vector, in which an additional DNA segment can be connected to a viral genome. Some vectors can replicate autonomously in the host cell into which they are introduced (for example, a bacterial vector with a bacterial replication origin and an episomal mammalian vector). Other vectors (for example, non-additional mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of the host cell after being introduced into the host cell, and thus replicated together with the host genome. In addition, some vectors can guide the expression of the genes to which they are effectively connected. This vector is referred to herein as a "recombinant expression vector" (or simply referred to as an "expression vector"). Generally, expression vectors useful in recombinant DNA technology are usually present in the form of plasmids. However, other forms of expression vectors are also included, such as viral vectors (for example, replication-defective retroviruses, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses), which play equivalent functions.

[0099] The term "nucleic acid molecule" or "nucleic acid" is intended to include DNA molecules and RNA molecules. The nucleic acid molecule can be single-stranded or double-stranded, and can be a cDNA.

[0100] The term "host cell" refers to a cell in which a vector can be propagated and its DNA can be expressed, which cell can be a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell. The term also includes any progeny of the subject host cell. It should be understood that not all progeny are identical to the parent cell, as mutations may occur during the replication process, and such progeny are included.

[0101] The term "purify" and its grammatical variations are used to refer to the complete or partial removal of at least one impurity from a mixture comprising a protein and one or more impurities, reducing the content of the impurity in the composition, thereby increasing the level of purification of the protein in the composition.

[0102] The terms "anti-human CD16A nanobody" and "antibody that specifically binds to human CD16A" refer to an antibody that can bind to human CD16A with sufficient affinity so that the antibody can be used as a diagnostic agent and / or therapeutic agent targeting human CD16A. In certain embodiments, the antibody that binds to human CD16A has a dissociation constant (KD) of < about 1 µM, < about 100 nM, < about 10 nM, < about 1 nM, < about 0.1 nM, < about 0.01 nM, or < about 0.001 nM (e.g., 10 -8 M or smaller, e.g. 10 -8 M to 10 -12 M, for example 10 -9 M to 10 -10M). In certain embodiments, the anti-human CD16A Nanobody binds to an antigenic epitope conserved in CD16A from different species.

[0103] The antibodies of the present invention include monoclonal antibodies (abbreviated as mAb or Ab), which refer to antibodies obtained from a single clonal cell line, and the cell line is not limited to eukaryotic, prokaryotic or phage clonal cell lines.

[0104] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples without specifying specific conditions are carried out according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.

[0105] Example 1 Screening of heavy chain single domain antibodies against CD16A

[0114] 1.2 Screening of heavy chain single domain antibodies

[0115] Since the homology of CD16A and CD16B is as high as 94%, in order to obtain nanobodies that specifically bind to CD16A (F176) and (V176), we performed multiple sorting. In the first round, magnetic beads and CD16B negative sorting were performed. 300nM biotin-CD16B (Acro cat: CDB-H82Ea) and magnetic beads (Invitrogen Cat: 11206D) were incubated for 1 hour, and magnetic bead sorting was performed to remove yeast cells that bind to CD16B. The second round of positive sorting was performed to collect yeast cell populations that specifically bind to CD16A: 300nM biotin-CD16A (F176) (Acro cat: CDA-H82E8) and 300nM biotin-CD16A (V176) (Acro cat: The two proteins (biotin-CDA-H82E9) were incubated with SA-APC and SA-PE respectively, mixed together in proportion, added to the yeast library for incubation for 1 hour, and sorted and collected by Moflo XDP ultraspeed flow sorter; in the third round, 300nM biotin-CD16B was used for negative sorting, and the yeast cell population that did not bind to CD16B was collected by flow cytometry; in the fourth round, 100nM biotin-CD16A (V176) and 300nM biotin-CD16B were incubated with SA-APC and SA-PE respectively for 1h, mixed together in proportion, added to the yeast library and incubated for another 1 hour, and then the CD16A-positive yeast cell population was collected by flow sorting and plated, and the monoclonal culture was sent for sequencing and flow identification. After sequence alignment, a total of 4 nanoantibodies that specifically bind to human CD16A were finally obtained.

The EC50 was calculated by the absorbance value using prism software. The results showed that the four CD16A single domain antibody Fc fusion proteins had high affinity with human CD16A (F176) and (V176) ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 ), among which NB465-20, 14 and 10 had no binding signal with human CD16B ( Figure 3 ), compared with Ref-Ab, NB465-20, 14 and 10 all have specific binding activity to human CD16A, and their affinity to human CD16A is significantly higher than that of the control molecule Ref-Ab.

[0122] Example 5. In vitro kinetic binding experiment of single domain antibody FC fusion protein

[0123] The antibody affinity was determined by the anti-human antibody capture method using the Fortebio (BLITZ pro1.1.0.28) instrument. During the determination, the anti-human antibody Fc segment capture antibody (AHC) bioprobe was soaked in KB buffer for 10 minutes; the antibody sample was diluted to 200nM, 200μl / well, loaded on the AHC bioprobe, and then balanced in KB buffer for 100s. The AHC probe was further combined with four CD16 proteins, namely human CD16A (F176), human CD16A (V176), human CD16B and cyno CD16A at different concentrations, with a binding time of 180s. After that, the AHC probe was transferred to KB buffer for a dissociation reaction for 360s. After the experiment, the blank control response value was deducted, and the software was used to perform 1:1 Langmuir binding mode fitting and calculate the kinetic constants of antigen-antibody binding. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 4. NB465-20, 14, and 10 all had specific binding activity with human CD16A (F176), human CD16A (V176), and cyno CD16A.

[0133] The genes of human CD16A (F176) (sequence number: P08637) and CD16B (sequence number: O75015) were constructed into mammalian expression vectors and plasmids were prepared. The plasmids were transiently transfected into HEK293 cells for expression by PEI. After 2 days, the cells were collected and centrifuged at 100g for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were washed once with PBS containing 0.5% BSA, centrifuged at 100g for 5 minutes at room temperature, and the cells were resuspended at a density of 2x10 per ml. 6 cells, 50ul / well was plated, and blank HEK293 cells were used as blank controls. Then the single-domain antibody FC fusion protein was diluted 3 times from the starting concentration of 33nM, with a total of 11 concentration points. 50ul of the antibody at each concentration point was added to a 96-well plate. After incubation at room temperature for 1 hour, wash twice, and add a 1:2000 diluted APC fluorescent-labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Cat: 109-135-098); continue to incubate at room temperature for 1 hour, wash twice, and analyze the average fluorescence reading of the cell population by flow cytometry, and use prism software to perform a 4-parameter fitting curve.

[0150] The results showed (see Figure 6-Figure 13), the binding activity of the bispecific antibody molecules against CD16A and FAP to huCD16A was comparable to that of the monoclonal antibody, but the binding activity of the bispecific antibody molecules of the control antibody to huCD16A was significantly lower than that of the monoclonal antibody molecules, about 10 times; only the NB465-14-Fc-D27hz10-Scfv bispecific antibody molecule had a weak binding signal with huCD16B at high concentrations, and the other molecules had no binding signals. The binding signal of the bispecific antibody molecules to huFAP was lower than that of the monoclonal antibody molecules, and the monoclonal antibody molecules of CD16A had no non-specific binding to the FAP antigen.

[0151] The results showed that the binding activity of the bispecific antibody molecules against CD16A and ROR1 to huCD16A was slightly better than that of the monoclonal antibody, but the binding activity of the bispecific antibody molecules against the control antibody to huCD16A was significantly lower than that of the monoclonal antibody molecules; there was no binding signal between the bispecific antibody molecules and huCD16B; the binding signal of the bispecific antibody molecules to huROR1 was slightly lower than that of the monoclonal antibody molecules; there was no non-specific binding between the CD16A monoclonal antibody molecules and the ROR1 antigen.

The plasmids were transiently transfected into HEK293 cells by PEI for expression. The cells were collected after 2 days. At the same time, CH0 K1 stable transfection cell lines with high expression of human FAP and human ROR1 on the cell surface were prepared. The cells were centrifuged at 100g for 5 minutes at room temperature, washed once with PBS containing 0.5% BSA, and resuspended at a cell density of 2x10 per ml. 6 cells, 50ul / well was plated, and negative control SH-hIgG (LALA) was set up at the same time. Then the bispecific antibody was diluted 3 times from the starting concentration of 100nM, with a total of 11 concentration points. 50ul of the antibody at each concentration point was added to a 96-well plate. After incubation at room temperature for 1 hour, it was washed twice, and a 1:2000 diluted APC fluorescent-labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Cat: 109-135-098) was added; it was continued to be incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, washed twice, and the average fluorescence reading of the cell population was analyzed by flow cytometry, and prism software was used to perform a 4-parameter fitting curve.

[0154] Experimental results ( Figure 14-Figure 21) showed that the bispecific antibodies against CD16A and FAP as well as CD16 and ROR1 all had specific binding activity with human CD16A expressed on the cell surface, among which the binding activity of the bispecific antibody molecule of NB465-20 with human CD16A was higher than that of the control molecule and the monoclonal antibody molecule, and the six bispecific antibody molecules had weak binding signals with human CD16B expressed on the cell surface at high concentrations.

[0155] Example 12. In vitro kinetic binding experiments of bispecific antibodies

[0156] The antibody affinity was determined by the anti-human antibody capture method using the Fortebio (BLITZ pro1.1.0.28) instrument. During the measurement, the capture antibody (AHC) bioprobe of the anti-human antibody Fc segment was immersed in KB buffer for 10 minutes; the antibody sample was diluted to 200nM, 200μl / well, loaded onto the AHC bioprobe, and then equilibrated in KB buffer for 100s. The AHC probe was further combined with 5 antigens, namely different concentrations of human CD16A (F176), human CD16A (V176), human CD16B, human FAP and human ROR1, with a binding time of 180s. After that, the AHC probe was transferred to KB buffer for a dissociation reaction of 360s. After the experiment was completed, the blank control response value was deducted, and the software was used to perform a 1:1 Langmuir binding mode fitting to calculate the kinetic constants of antigen-antibody binding.

[0157] The results are shown in Tables 9 and 10. The bispecific antibody molecules against CD16A and FAP have specific binding activity with human CD16A, and the affinity is better than that of the control molecules. All molecules do not bind to human CD16B. The bispecific antibody molecules have high binding activity with human FAP.
