Description

[0001] Priority declaration

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202311208651.5, filing date September 18, 2023, and invention name “An anti-GUCY2C humanized antibody, its chimeric antigen receptor and application”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of antibodies, and in particular, to anti-GUCY2C humanized antibodies, chimeric antigen receptors thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0004] Guanylate cyclase C (GUCY2C) is a transmembrane receptor that is mainly expressed on the top of intestinal glands and villus cells. GUCY2C is expressed in various gastrointestinal malignancies, including more than 95% of colorectal cancer and more than 50% of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. GUCY2C is highly expressed in most colon cancers of all stages, including liver metastases. Moderately differentiated and well-differentiated gastrointestinal tumors are often associated with higher membrane expression of GUCY2C.

[0005] GUCY2C is largely restricted in expression at the top of the tight junctions of the intestinal epithelium in normal tissues. However, tumors destroy the normal tight junction structure, exposing GUCY2C more thoroughly. Therefore, compared with normal tissues, it only binds to GUCY2C antibodies and has no effect on normal tissues.

[0006] Chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy, referred to as CAR-T, is a method of modifying the patient's T cells in vitro to enable the patient's T cells to recognize tumor cells, and then infusing them back into the patient's body for treatment after in vitro expansion and culture. At present, CAR-T targeting CD19 has achieved great results in the treatment of B-cell blood tumors. GUCY2C has good target specificity, and CAR-T cells targeting GUCY2C can be developed to treat, for example, colorectal cancer. Summary of the invention

[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure is clearly and completely described below, but the description and embodiments should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to the conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not specified in the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially. Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0062] The three-letter and one-letter codes for amino acids used in the present invention are as described in J. biol. chem, 243, p3558 (1968).

[0063] The term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring amino acids and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs or amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as modified amino acids, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine; common natural amino acids include alanine (Ala; A), arginine (Arg; R), asparagine (Asn; N), aspartic acid (Asp; D), cysteine ​​(Cys; C); glutamic acid (Glu; E), glutamine (Gln; Q), glycine (Gly; G); histidine (His; H), isoleucine (Ile; I), leucine (Leu; L), lysine (Lys; K), methionine (Met; M), phenylalanine (Phe; F), proline (Pro; P), serine (Ser; S), threonine (Thr; T), tryptophan (Trp; W), tyrosine (Tyr; Y), and valine (Val; V). Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure (i.e., an alpha carbon bound to a hydrogen, carboxyl group, amino group, and R group) as naturally occurring amino acids, such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids.

[0064] In the present disclosure, the term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and covers various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies, tetraspecific antibodies, etc.), murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, full-length antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof (or antigen-binding portions), as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.

[0065] In the present disclosure, the term "natural antibody" refers to a naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecule. For example, a natural IgG antibody is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein of about 150,000 daltons, consisting of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains. From N to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a heavy chain variable region (VH, also known as a variable heavy domain), followed by a heavy chain constant region, which includes three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3); from N to C-terminus, each light chain has a light chain variable region (VL, also known as a variable light domain), followed by a light chain constant region (CL, also known as a light chain constant domain).

[0066] The term "full length antibody" or "intact antibody" refers to an antibody that contains a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure, or the heavy chain contains an Fc region.

[0067] In the present disclosure, the term "complementarity determining region", "CDR" or "CDRs" refers to the highly variable region of the heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins, which is the region within the antibody variable domain that mainly contributes to specific binding to the antigen. In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, "CDRs" refers to more than two highly variable regions in the heavy and light chains of the antibody.

[0068] In the present disclosure, the heavy chain complementarity determining region is represented by HCDR, and the heavy chain variable region contains three CDR regions: HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3; the light chain complementarity determining region is represented by LCDR, and the light chain variable region contains three CDR regions: LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3. The amino acid sequence boundaries of CDRs can be determined by various well-known schemes, for example: "Kabat" numbering rules (see Kabat et al. (1991), "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest", 5th edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), "Chothia" numbering rules, "ABM" numbering rules, "contact" numbering rules (see Martin, ACR. Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains [J]. 2001) and ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering rules (Lefranc, MP et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27, 55-77 (2003); Front Immunol. 2018 Oct 16; 9: 2278), etc. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the CDR is determined according to the IMGT coding rules. In some embodiments, the anti-human GUCY2C humanized antibody disclosed herein, the HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 of the heavy chain variable region of the antibody have the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ ID NO:11, respectively, and the LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 of the light chain variable region of the antibody have the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO:12, amino acid AAS and SEQ ID NO:14, respectively.

[0069] In the present disclosure, "framework region" or "FR" region refers to the region other than CDR in the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region of an antibody. The heavy chain framework region can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by CDRs (FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR4), wherein the heavy chain framework region can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by HCDR, including HFR1, HFR2, HFR3 and HFR4 framework regions; the light chain framework region can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by LCDR, including LFR1, LFR2, LFR3 and LFR4 framework regions. The heavy chain variable region is connected by the following numbered CDRs and FRs (arranged from the amino terminus (N-terminus) to the carboxyl terminus (C-terminus)): HFR1-HCDR1-HFR2-HCDR2-HFR3-HCDR3-HFR4; the light chain variable region is connected by the following numbered CDRs and FRs (arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus): LFR1-LCDR1-LFR2-LCDR2-LFR3-LCDR3-LFR4. In an optional embodiment, the antibody disclosed herein includes a heavy chain framework region in the heavy chain variable region shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, 5 or 7, and a light chain framework region in the light chain variable region shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, 6 or 8. In an optional embodiment, the framework region amino acid sequence of the antibody has at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity with the above-mentioned framework region.

[0070] The term "identity" or "sequence identity" refers to the degree (i.e., percentage) to which the amino acids / nucleic acids of the two sequences are identical at equivalent positions when the two sequences are optimally aligned (introducing gaps, if necessary, to obtain the maximum sequence identity percentage, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity). To determine the percentage of sequence identity, alignment can be achieved in a variety of ways well known to those skilled in the art, for example, using well-known computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine the parameters suitable for measuring alignment, including any algorithm required to achieve maximum alignment over the full length of the compared sequences.

[0071] The term "chimeric" antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy chain and / or light chain is derived from a particular species and the remainder of the heavy chain and / or light chain is derived from another species.

[0072] The term "humanized" antibody is an antibody that retains the reactivity of a non-human antibody while having lower immunogenicity in the human body. For example, it can be achieved by retaining the non-human CDR region and replacing the rest of the antibody with its human counterpart (i.e., the framework region of the heavy chain variable region of a human antibody, the framework region of the light chain variable region, and the human antibody constant region).

[0073] The term "antigen binding fragment" is a portion of a complete antibody that specifically binds to an antigen to which the complete antibody binds. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure that the antigen binding fragment can be prepared by methods known in the art, for example, by enzymatic digestion (including pepsin or papain) and / or by chemical reduction to split disulfide bonds, or by recombinant genetics techniques or by an automatic peptide synthesizer (such as the automatic peptide synthesizer of Applied BioSystems).

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the antigen binding fragment is any one of F(ab')2, Fab', Fab, scFab, dsFv, Fv and scFv. "Fab" is a monovalent fragment composed of VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains. "Fv" is composed of VH and VL; "dsFv" is a disulfide-stabilized Fv fragment. "Fab'" contains VL, CL as well as VH and CH1, and also contains a region between the CH1 and CH2 domains so that an interchain disulfide bond can be formed between the two heavy chains of the two Fab' fragments to form a F(ab')2 molecule. "F(ab')2" is a bivalent fragment containing two Fab' fragments connected by a disulfide bond at the hinge region. "Single-chain Fab fragment" or "scFab" is a polypeptide consisting of VH, CH1, VL, CL and a linker, wherein the antibody domain and the linker have one of the following orders in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction: a) VH-CH1-linker-VL-CL, b) VL-CL-linker-VH-CH1, c) VH-CL-linker-VL-CH1 or d) VL-CH1-linker-VH-CL. "scFv" is a fusion protein comprising a light chain variable region and a heavy chain variable region, wherein the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region are connected by a peptide linker, can be expressed as a single-chain polypeptide, and the scFv retains the specificity of the complete antibody from which it is derived. Unless otherwise specified, scFv herein can have VL and VH variable regions in any order, for example, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus of the scFv polypeptide, can include: a) VL-linker-VH or b) VH-linker-VL.

[0075] In the present disclosure, the term "linker", "connecting peptide", "connecting polypeptide", "Linker" or "linker" refers to a connecting unit that connects two polypeptide fragments, which usually has a certain flexibility, and the use of the linker will not cause the loss of the original function of the protein domain. The linker can be a peptide linker, which contains one or more amino acids, typically about 1-30, 2-24 or 3-15 amino acids. In some embodiments, the linker is selected from (GxS)y linkers, wherein x is selected from integers selected from 1-5 and y is selected from integers selected from 0-6. In some embodiments, the linker is selected from (GxS)y linkers, wherein x is selected from integers selected from 1-5 and y is selected from integers selected from 1-6.

[0076] The term "epitope" refers to a 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 close. 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. A conformational epitope generally contains at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7 or more 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 methods known in the art, including but not limited to alanine scanning, peptide blotting, peptide cleavage analysis, epitope excision, epitope extraction, chemical modification of the antigen (see Prot. Sci. 9 (2000) 487-496), and cross-blocking, etc.

[0077] An antibody that binds to the same epitope as a reference antibody or an antibody that competes for binding with a reference antibody means an antibody that blocks the binding of the reference antibody to its antigen by 50% or more in a competition assay, or an antibody whose binding to the antigen is blocked by the reference antibody by 50% or more. For example, to determine whether a test antibody binds to the same epitope as a reference antibody, the reference antibody is allowed to bind to the antigen under saturating conditions, and then the ability of the test antibody to bind to the antigen is assessed after removing excess reference antibody; if the test antibody is able to bind to the antigen after saturation binding of the reference antibody, it can be concluded that the test antibody binds to a different epitope than the reference antibody; and if the test antibody is unable to bind to the antigen after saturation binding of the reference antibody, then the test antibody can bind to the same epitope as the reference antibody. To confirm whether the test antibody binds to the same epitope, routine experiments (e.g., peptide mutations and binding analysis using ELISA, RIA, surface plasmon resonance, flow cytometry, or any other quantitative or qualitative antibody binding assay available in the art) can be used. In some embodiments, two antibodies are considered to bind to the same or overlapping epitope if an excess (in a 1-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, or 100-fold amount) of one antibody inhibits antigen binding of the other antibody by at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 90%, or even 99% or more, as measured in a competitive binding assay (see, e.g., Junghans et al., Cancer Res. 50 (1990) 1495-1502).

[0078] The terms "specifically bind" and "specific binding" refer 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 less (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 The KD of an antibody is determined by measuring the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of the antibody with a molecular weight of 4 M or less. Surface plasmon resonance measurements.

[0079] 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, in conjunction with "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. The term "kassoc" or "ka" refers to the association rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, and the term "kdis" or "kd" refers to the dissociation rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. 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 measured using methods well known in the art. For example, a biosensor system such as a system measuring surface plasmon resonance (e.g., Biacore) is used, or the affinity in a solution is measured by a solution equilibrium titration method (SET).

[0080] The term "effector function" refers to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody (a native sequence Fc region or an Fc region of amino acid sequence mutation). Examples of antibody effector functions include, but are not limited to, C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors); and B cell activation.

[0081] The term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a group of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the amino acid sequence of the antibody molecules included in the group is identical, except that a small amount of natural mutations may exist. In contrast, polyclonal antibody preparations are usually included in a variety of different antibodies with different amino acid sequences in their variable domains, which are usually specific for different epitopes. "Monoclonal" represents the characteristics of the antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population, and should not be construed as requiring the production of antibodies by any ad hoc method. In some embodiments, antibody provided by the invention is a monoclonal antibody.

[0082] The term "antigen" refers to a molecule that can be bound by an antigen binding protein (eg, an antibody) selectively binding to an antigen. An antigen may have one or more epitopes that can interact with different antigen binding proteins (eg, antibodies).

[0083] The term "anti-human GUCY2C antibody" or "antibody that binds to human GUCY2C" refers to an antibody that can bind to human GUCY2C with sufficient affinity.

[0084] The term "nucleic acid" is used interchangeably with the term "polynucleotide" herein, and refers to deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in single-stranded or double-stranded form. The term encompasses nucleic acids containing known nucleotide analogs or modified backbone residues or connections, which are synthetic, naturally occurring, and non-naturally occurring, have binding properties similar to reference nucleic acids, and are metabolized in a manner similar to reference nucleotides. Examples of such analogs include, but are not limited to, phosphorothioates, phosphoramidates, methylphosphonates, chiral-methylphosphonates, 2-O-methyl ribonucleotides, peptide-nucleic acids (PNAs). "Isolated" nucleic acids refer to nucleic acid molecules that have been separated from the components of their natural environment. Isolated nucleic acids include nucleic acid molecules contained in the following cells, which cells typically contain the nucleic acid molecules, but the nucleic acid molecules are present outside the chromosome or at a chromosomal position different from its natural chromosomal position. The isolated nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide or fusion protein refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a polypeptide or fusion protein, including such one or more nucleic acid molecules in a single vector or a separate vector, and such one or more nucleic acid molecules present in one or more positions in a host cell. Unless otherwise indicated, a specific nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences as well as sequences explicitly indicated. Specifically, as described in detail below, degenerate codon substitutions can be obtained by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is replaced by mixed bases and / or deoxyinosine residues.

[0085] The terms "polypeptide" and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The term applies to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers.

[0086] The term "vector" is a construct capable of transporting another polynucleotide connected thereto. An expression vector is a vector suitable for transforming a host cell and containing a nucleic acid for guiding or controlling the expression of a heterologous coding region connected thereto, and the vector may include, but is not limited to, sequences that affect or control transcription, translation, and RNA splicing of the coding region connected thereto when introns are present. In an optional embodiment, the vector is a "plasmid", which is a circular double-stranded DNA loop, to which additional DNA segments may be connected. In an optional embodiment, the vector is a viral vector, such as a lentiviral retrovirus adenovirus, an adeno-associated virus vector (AAV or AAV2), wherein additional DNA segments may be connected to the viral genome.

Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells", which include primary transformed cells and progeny derived therefrom, without regard to the number of passages, including mutant progeny having the same function or biological activity as screened or selected in the initial transformed cell. Host cells include prokaryotic and eukaryotic host cells, wherein eukaryotic host cells include, but are not limited to, mammalian cells, insect cell lines, plant cells, and fungal cells. Exemplary host cells are as follows: NSO, SP2 cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, 3T3 cells and HEK-293 cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., Hep G2), A549 cells, Pichia pastoris, Pichia finlandica, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Trichoderma reesei.

[0088] Herein, "CAR" is a chimeric antigen receptor, which is an artificially modified receptor, for example, it is a receptor that can anchor specific molecules (such as antibodies) that recognize tumor cell surface antigens or viral antigens on immune cells (such as T cells), so that immune cells recognize tumor antigens or viral antigens and kill tumor cells or viruses. Generally, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular signaling domain in sequence. The chimeric antigen receptor of the present disclosure can be constructed using transmembrane regions and intracellular signaling domains known in the art for constructing CAR. In an optional embodiment, the CAR is a chimeric antigen receptor, and its main components may also include a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. In an optional embodiment, the CAR may also include a costimulatory molecule. "Costimulatory molecule" refers to a molecule that is present on the surface of an antigen presenting cell and can bind to a costimulatory molecule receptor on a Th cell to produce a co-stimulatory signal. The proliferation of T lymphocytes requires not only the binding of antigens, but also the acceptance of costimulatory molecule signals. The costimulatory signal is transmitted to T cells mainly by binding of costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells to CD28 molecules on the surface of T cells. B cells can receive costimulatory signals through general pathogen components such as LPS, or through complement components, or through activated antigen-specific Th cell surface CD40L. Costimulatory molecules known in the art for constructing CAR can be used, including but not limited to CD27, CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, ICOS, B7-H3 and / or any combination thereof.

[0096] 1. Anti-human GUCY2C mouse antibody

[0097] For the preparation of anti-human GUCY2C mouse antibodies, please refer to the Chinese patent application (application number: 202211138356.2; invention name: Anti-human guanylate cyclase C antibody, kit and application thereof), the entire text of which is incorporated into the present disclosure by reference.

[0098] GUCY2C ECD-His tag protein (the extracellular segment of human GUCY2C protein is connected to a His tag (6 consecutive histidines) at the C-terminus) was prepared as an immunogen, and Balb / c mice were immunized multiple times. Immunization was performed once a week for a total of 5-7 times. Starting from the fourth immunization, mouse serum was collected weekly to detect the serum titer of anti-human GUCY2C antibodies. The mouse serum was diluted in multiples and incubated with K562 (human chronic myeloid leukemia cells) cell line (K562-hGUCY2C) and K562 cell line overexpressing human GUCY2C, and stained with PE-labeled goat anti-mouse Fc antibody (Biolegend), and the serum titer was detected by flow cytometry. At the same time, the GUCY2C ECD-His tag protein was coated in a 96-well plate, and the serum diluted in multiples was added for incubation, followed by the addition of HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse Fc antibody, and the serum titer was detected by ELISA. According to the results of flow cytometry and ELISA, the mice with the highest titer were determined, the mice were euthanized, spleen cells were collected, and fused with SP20 cell lines. The fused cells were plated into 96-well plates, and after the cells were confluent, the binding of cell supernatants to K562-hGUCY2C was detected by flow cytometry and ELISA. Cells with strong supernatant binding to K562-hGUCY2C were selected for monoclonalization. After the monoclonal cells were confluent, the binding of antibodies in the cell supernatants to K562-hGUCY2C and K562 cell lines was detected by flow cytometry.

[0099] The monoclonal cells in the supernatant with strong binding activity to K562-hGUCY2C and not binding to the K562 cell line were selected for expansion culture. The supernatant was collected one week later and the antibodies in the supernatant were purified. A mouse monoclonal antibody targeting human GUCY2C (clone number 1D1) was obtained, and its variable region sequence is:

Incubated for 30 minutes, washed 5 times, 100 μL of substrate was added to each well for 15 minutes, and the OD450 value was detected on the machine after termination. The graph was plotted and the EC50 value was counted using graphpad software. The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 , the experimental results show that the humanized antibody constructed by the present disclosure can specifically bind to human GUCY2C.

The anti-GUCY2C humanized antibody was diluted to 5 μg / mL in calcium- and magnesium-free phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and captured on an anti-human Fc biosensor (ForteBio). Human GUCY2C (ECD)-His was diluted to 5 μg / mL and KD was tested on the machine. The experimental results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 3 , the affinity of R2092 is 3.10E-11M, the affinity of R2093 is 3.63E-11M, and the affinity of R2097 is 3.91E-11M.
