Description

Cells secreting antibodies in situ and their uses Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biomedicine, and specifically to a cell capable of in situ production and / or secretion of antibodies, as well as a preparation method and use of the cell. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the majority of bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) in clinical trials are mediated by the T cell receptor CD3, which primarily engages immune cells. As of the end of 2020, 111 such tumor-associated antibodies were reported on ClinicalTrials.gov. The anti-tumor mechanism of BsAb is that one arm targets a receptor on the surface of tumor cells, while the other arm recruits and activates T cells, thereby inducing efficient and selective cytotoxic killing. When both T cells and tumor cells are simultaneously bound by BsAbs, an immune synapse is formed between the T cells and the tumor cells. This synapse contains perforin and cytotoxic granzyme B released by the T cells, leading to tumor cell killing.

[0003] Despite the tremendous success of BsAbs, the therapeutic potential of exogenous drug delivery is hampered by short circulation dynamics, poor tumor microenvironment (TME) penetration, and toxicity to non-tumor tissues. Therefore, researchers abroad have proposed the concept of in situ BsAb generation to overcome the immunosuppressive TME and avoid the toxic side effects of continuous drug infusion. Currently, the main methods for generating BsAbs in tumor tissue include engineered oncolytic viruses (OVs), transfection of T cells, and transfection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Over a decade ago, it was reported that human peripheral blood lymphocytes, particularly CD3+ T cells, could serve as BsAb carriers and successfully produce anti-CEA×CD3 bispecific antibodies in vivo via transduction with an engineered HIV-1-based lentiviral vector. Mechanistically, engineered T cells, through antigen-dependent in situ production and secretion of BsAbs, redirect and activate unmodified bystander T cells to the tumor site, thereby synergistically generating a potent anti-tumor immune response. In situ BsAb generation eliminates the time-consuming and expensive preparation, manufacturing, and storage processes. There is no need to face a series of problems after antibody production, such as antibody degradation, aggregation, denaturation, fragmentation and oxidation, etc. At the same time, it also saves many time-consuming clinical trials to explore the best route of administration and optimal dosage.

[0004] However, the in situ BsAb generation technology currently faces some challenges, such as the expression efficiency of BsAb, the ability to recruit bystander T cells, and the tumor killing efficiency, which still need to be improved. Therefore, it is necessary to design more effective solutions to enhance the therapeutic effect of in situ BsAb generation technology.

[0154] 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.

[0155] Definition of terms

[0156] In this application, the term "cell" generally refers to a single cell, cell line, or cell culture that can be or has been a recipient of a subject's plasmid or vector, including a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention or a vector of the present invention. In this application, the cell can include a T cell, a NK cell, a NKT cell, a mesenchymal stem cell, a neuronal stem cell, a hematopoietic stem cell, or a mixture thereof.

[0157] In this application, the term "vector" generally refers to a nucleic acid delivery vehicle into which a polynucleotide encoding a protein can be inserted and the protein expressed. A vector can be used to transform, transduce, or transfect host cells, allowing the genetic material elements it carries to be expressed in host cells. For example, vectors include: plasmids; phagemids; cosmids; artificial chromosomes such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs); bacteriophages such as lambda phage or M13 phage, and animal viruses. Types of animal viruses used as vectors include retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papillomaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may contain multiple elements that control expression, including promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. In addition, a vector may also contain a replication initiation site.

[0158] In this application, the term "nucleic acid molecule" generally refers to nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof, isolated from their natural environment or artificially synthesized.

[0159] In this application, the term "antigen binding protein" generally refers to a protein with antigen binding ability. The "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 antigen binding portion to bind to the antigen. The antigen binding protein may comprise, for example, an antibody-derived protein scaffold or an alternative protein scaffold or artificial scaffold having a transplanted CDR or CDR derivative. Such scaffolds include, but are not limited to, antibody-derived scaffolds that include mutations introduced, for example, to stabilize the three-dimensional structure of the antigen binding protein and fully synthetic scaffolds that include, 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). In addition, peptide antibody mimics ("PAMs") and scaffolds based on antibody mimics using a fibronectin component can be used as scaffolds.

[0160] In this application, the term "variable region" generally refers to the amino-terminal domain of an antibody heavy or light chain. The variable regions 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] In this application, the term "scFv" generally refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one variable region antibody fragment comprising a light chain and at least one antibody fragment comprising a variable region of a heavy chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are adjacent (e.g., via a synthetic linker such as a short flexible polypeptide linker) and can be expressed in the form of a single-chain polypeptide, and wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the complete antibody from which it is derived. Unless otherwise specified, as used in this application, scFv can have the VL and VH variable regions in any order (e.g., relative to the N-terminus and C-terminus of the polypeptide), and scFv can include VL-linker-VH or can include VH-linker-VL.

[0163] In this application, the term "T cell receptor" or "TCR" refers to a complex of membrane proteins that participate in the activation of T cells in response to the presentation of antigens. TCR is responsible for recognizing antigens that are bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules. TCR is usually composed of a heterodimer of alpha (α) and beta (β) chains, but in some cells, TCR is composed of gamma and delta (γ / δ) chains. TCR can exist in α / β and γ / δ forms, which are similar in structure but have unique anatomical positions and functions. Each chain can be composed of two domains - a variable domain (variable region) and a constant domain (constant region). In some embodiments, TCR can be modified on any cell comprising TCR, including, for example, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, memory T cells, regulatory T cells, natural killer T cells and γδT cells.

[0164] In this application, the term "constant region" generally refers to a region having a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to the variable region containing the antigen binding site of a TCR. For example, the constant region may be of human origin.

[0165] In this application, the term "directly connected" is contrasted with the term "indirectly connected." The term "directly connected" generally refers to a direct connection. For example, the direct connection may be a case where the substances are directly connected without a spacer. The spacer may be a linker. For example, the linker may be a peptide linker. The term "indirectly connected" generally refers to a case where the substances are not directly connected. For example, the indirect connection may be a case where the substances are connected via a spacer.

[0166] In this application, the term "pharmaceutical composition" generally refers to a composition for preventing / treating a disease or condition. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise the cells described herein, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition may also comprise a suitable formulation of one or more (pharmaceutically effective) carriers, stabilizers, excipients, diluents, solubilizers, surfactants, emulsifiers and / or preservatives. The acceptable ingredients of the composition are preferably non-toxic to the recipient at the dosage and concentration used. The pharmaceutical composition of the present application includes, but is not limited to, liquid, frozen and lyophilized compositions.

[0167] In this application, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" generally includes pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers that are non-toxic to cells or mammals exposed thereto at the dosages and concentrations employed. Physiologically acceptable carriers may include, for example, buffers, antioxidants, low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides, proteins, hydrophilic polymers, amino acids, monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates, chelating agents, sugar alcohols, salt-forming counterions, such as sodium; and / or nonionic surfactants.

[0168] In this application, the term "tumor" generally refers to any new pathological tissue proliferation. Tumor cells can spread locally or to other parts of the body through the bloodstream and lymphatic system. In this application, the tumor can include benign tumors and malignant tumors. In this application, the tumor can include solid tumors and / or hematological tumors. In this application, the tumor can include cancer.

[0169] In this application, the term "comprising" generally means including the features specifically stated, but not excluding other elements.

[0184] Antigen binding proteins

[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, and a combination of Kabat / Chothia. These coding systems are known in the art, and for details, see 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 identity with the amino acid sequence of the CDR.

[0298] Example

[0299] Experimental Materials and Methods

[0300] Cell lines and culture

All these cell lines were maintained in full culture medium (IDMEM containing 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 100 U / mL penicillin / streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine). PBMCs were isolated from whole blood of healthy donors using Ficoll-Paque and plated at 2×10 7 1 mL of sample was aliquoted at a concentration of 10 cells / mL and stored frozen in a liquid nitrogen tank. The culture medium was heat-inactivated FCS supplemented with 10% DMSO (vol / vol).

[0302] Amino acid sequence used

[0303] In the technical solutions given in the examples, the exemplary amino acid sequences used are as follows:

[0304] CD19 scFv: SEQ ID NO: 9; CD3 (UCHT1) scFv: SEQ ID NO: 18; ROR1 scFv: SEQ ID NO: 27; PD-1 scFv: SEQ ID NO: 36; TIM3 scFv: SEQ ID NO: 45; IgG4 hinge region: SEQ ID NO: 46.

[0305] Example 1 Construction, cloning, and expression of bispecific / quadruspecific recombinant antibodies

[0306] All gene constructs were synthesized using GeneWiz. Gene domains encoding ROR1 scFvxUCHT1 scFv and ROR1 scFv and UCHT1 scFv single-arm controls were inserted into the expression plasmid pALD with the sffv promoter via the Apa1 / Nhe1 cloning sites. The eGFP marker was removed from this cloning process. ROR1 scFv consists of VL and VH fused to a 28-amino acid linker. To generate cis bispecific antibodies, ROR1 scFv and UCHT1 scFv were connected via a Gly4Ser linker. An N-terminal Kozac sequence, IL2 signal peptide (SPIL2, SEQ ID NO: 51), and C-terminal V5 tag were added.

[0307] To produce trans bispecific antibodies based on TCRC, the gene domains encoding ROR1 scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRCa and UCHT1 scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRCb were connected by a P2A sequence. To produce bispecific antibodies based on cis TCRC, the gene domains encoding ROR1 scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRCa and UCHT1 scFv-IgG4-TCRCb (in reverse sequence) were connected by a GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 49) sequence. Each trans or cis format has two subformats, in which TCRCα and TCRCβ are exchanged between the two chains. Four bispecific antibody formats based on CD19scFcxUCHT1 scFv TCRC were similarly prepared.

[0308] Additionally, to generate a TCRCαβ-based trans tetraclonal antibody, the gene domains encoding the ROR1 scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRCa-IgG4hinge-UCHT1 scFv and the TIM3 scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRCb-IgG4hinge-PD1 scFv were linked via a P2A sequence. Both the TCRC-based bispecific antibody and the TCRC-based tetraclonal antibody were cloned into the expression plasmid pCDH using the EcoR1 / Not1 cloning sites.

[0310] Recombinant antibodies were produced from transiently transfected (lipofectamine-2000-promoted) or stably established HEK293T and Jurkat cell lines (lentiviral vectors). After washing the cells in ice-cold PBS, the cells were resuspended in ice-cold PBS containing 2 mM PMSF at a cell density of 5 x 10 8 / mL. The cell suspension was subjected to three freeze (-80°C) / thaw (37°C) cycles and centrifuged at 14800 RPM for 10 minutes at 4°C using a benchtop centrifuge. The clear supernatant was aspirated, loaded with glycerol to a final concentration of 5%, and stored in 10 μL aliquots at -20°C until use.

[0313] Flow cytometry

[0314] Flow cytometry was performed using a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) in plate format, and data were analyzed using FlowJo software. Cells were washed once with FACS buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 0.1% NaN3, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.0) and resuspended to 5 × 10 7 cells / mL and placed on ice before staining. For primary antibody staining, 1.5 μL of BsAb and control were dispensed into the wells of a 96-well round-bottom tissue culture plate. Then, 4.5 μL of prepared cells were added to the wells. After incubating the plate at 4°C for 45 minutes, 150 μL of FACS buffer was added to each well for washing the cells. After centrifugation at 300xg for 3 minutes, the supernatant was removed. For secondary antibody staining, the cell pellet was incubated with 20 μL of diluted antibody conjugate at 4°C for 45 minutes. After washing and suspension with FACS buffer, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0315] Immunoblotting

[0316] Cell lysates and 4- to 10-fold concentrated supernatants were dissolved in lysis buffer (50 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, and 1 mM EDTA) containing 5% mercaptoethanol and electrophoresed on a 12.5% ​​SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Pall) using a semi-dry transfer system (Bio-Rad). The membrane was blocked with 2% BSA in PBS and probed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-V5 or anti-HA antibodies (room temperature for 2 hours, antibody dilution 1:500). Specific bands on the membrane were detected using an iBright imaging system (Thermo Scientific) with an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate (Bio-Rad).

[0317] Immunofluorescence

[0318] 5 μL transiently transfected or stably established HEK293T cells (1×10 5 ) were fixed on slides by air drying (room temperature, 30 minutes) and fixed and permeabilized in 100% methanol (4 ° C, 15 minutes). After blocking with 2% BSA in PBS, cells were stained with FITC-coupled antibodies (37 ° C, 45 minutes). The antibodies used included isotype IgG1-FITC control, anti-V5-FITC antibody and anti-HA-FITC antibody. The slides were washed twice and immersed in PBS. The stained cells were visualized and images were captured using a 40X objective lens by fluorescence microscopy (Bio-Rad).

[0319] The expression of the four secondary antibodies in HEK293T cells was determined by immunofluorescence using anti-HA-FITC, as shown in Figure 2A. The expression of the four secondary antibodies in HEK293T cell lysates was determined by immunoblotting using anti-HA-HRP under reducing conditions, as shown in Figure 2B. Flow cytometry was used to determine the binding of the four secondary antibodies to the corresponding ROR1-positive tumors and T cells, using a fluorescently labeled anti-HA-APC antibody, as shown in Figure 2C.

[0320] The results showed that HEK293T cells could stably express and produce four formats of secondary antibodies, and their secondary antibody proteins could bind to corresponding ROR1-positive tumors and T cells.

[0321] Example 3 Redirection test of the dual antibody described in this application

[0322] The efficacy of cell lysate-derived bispecific / quadruplex antibodies in redirecting T cell activation was determined by incubating a mixture of T cells and tumor cells with the lysate-derived bispecific / quadruplex antibodies. Briefly, 100 μL of effector cells (1x10 5cells, untransduced Jurkat T cells, or freshly thawed PBMCs) with 100 μL of target tumor cells (2x10 5 Cells (e.g., Raji, JeKo-1, MEC, MEC-ROR1, A549, HCC827, H1975, or MDA-MB-231) were plated in a round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate in a final volume of 200 μL per well at a 1:2 effector-to-target ratio. The cell mixture was then loaded with 2 μL of cell lysate-derived BsAb at final dilutions ranging from 1:100 to 1:1600. After centrifugation at 300 x g for 3 minutes, the plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 16 hours. 150 μL of supernatant was transferred to a new round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate. The supernatant was used to measure IL-2 concentration using a commercial human IL-2 ELISA kit, and IFN-g concentration was measured using an in-house developed IFN-g ELISA kit, in which 2G1 monoclonal antibody (Cat. No.: M700A, ThermoFisher Scientific) was used as the capture antibody and biotinylated B133.5 antibody (Cat. No. M701B, ThermoFisher Scientific) was used as the developing antibody.

[0323] Lysates containing Trans-TCRCab, Trans-TCRCba, Cis-TCRCab, and Cis-TCRCba secondary antibodies were added to a mixture of PBMC and MEC-ROR1 tumor cells at a 1:2 effector-target ratio. After 16 hours of incubation, supernatants were harvested and assayed for IL-2 and IFN-γ secretion. Lysates from non-transfected HEK293T cells were used as negative controls. MEC (ROR1-) served as negative tumor cell controls. PBMCs from four individuals were tested: numbered 1840, 5583, 1753, and 1142. The results of the redirection assay are shown in Figure 3.

[0324] Four formats of CD19-specific secondary antibodies were designed based on trans and cis structures. Secondary antibody proteins were produced by transiently transfecting HEK293T cells. Lysates containing Trans-TCRCab, Trans-TCRCba, Cis-TCRCab, and Cis-TCRCba secondary antibodies were then added to a mixture of Jurkat cells (Figure 4A) or healthy human 1840 PMBC (Figure 4B) and CD19+ tumor cells (MEC, MEC-ROR1) at an effector-target ratio of 1:2. After 16 hours of incubation, supernatants were harvested and assayed for IL-2 secretion. HL60 (CD19-) tumor cells served as a negative control. ROR1xUCHT-Cis-TCRCab secondary antibody served as a positive control; it produced IL-2 secretion when incubated with MEC-ROR1 cells. Lysates from non-transfected HEK293T cells served as a negative control.

[0325] Example 4 Detection of the effect of the four-antibody structure described in this application binding to the target

[0326] The structure of the ROR1 / TIM3 / PD1 / CD3 tetraclonal antibody is shown in Figure 5. Anti-HA-APC fluorescent antibody and TIM3-His-tag-PE were used to test the binding of the tetraclonal antibody to the corresponding cell lines MEC-ROR1 (expressing ROR1+), Jurkat (expressing CD3+), and HEK-PD1 (expressing PD1+), while MEC served as a negative control cell line. Flow cytometry validation results (Figure 6A) showed that the tetraclonal antibody described in this application binds to cell surface antigens and fusion proteins through four arms, respectively.

[0327] Example 5 Construction, cloning, and expression of target cells that secrete bispecific antibodies in situ

[0328] For protein expression, the expression vector pCDNA3.1-V5 / His B was used. The vector backbone contains a CMV promoter. Primary T cells derived from Jurkat E6 and PBMCs were transduced using the lentiviral vectors pCDH-EF1-IRES-puro and pALD-sffv. The pCDH-EF1-IRES-puro plasmid backbone contains an EF1 promoter and a puromycin selectable marker. The pALD-sffv plasmid backbone contains an sffv promoter and an IRES-linker GFP reporter gene; the GFP gene was removed during cloning.

[0329] All gene constructs were synthesized by GeneWiz. The gene domains of the scFvs are: ROR1 (VL-28aa-linker-VH), CD19 (VL-28aa-linker-VH), UCHT1 (VH-15aa-linker-VL), UCHT1 (VL-28aa-linker-VH), TIM3 (VL-28aa-linker-VH), CD16a (VL-28aa-linker-VH), and PD-1 (VL-28aa-linker-VH). The 15aa-linker is (Gly4Ser)3 (SEQ ID NO: 53). The 28aa-linker is GGGGSGSTSGSGKPGSGEGSTKGGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 54). The gene domains of the TCR constant region are the mouse TCR α chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 47) and the mouse TCR β chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 48).

[0330] There are two formats of TCRC-based BsAb, namely Trans format TCRC-based BsAb and Cis format TCRC-based BsAb.

[0331] In order to produce a trans BsAb encoding construct based on TCRC, the gene domain encoding ROR1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC and the gene domain encoding UCHT1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC are connected by a P2A sequence. In order to produce a TCRC-based BsAb in a cis format, the gene structure encoding ROR1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC and the gene structure encoding UCHT1scFv-IgG4-TCRC (in the reverse amino acid sequence) are connected by a GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 49) sequence. Each Trans or Cis format has two sub-formats, in which TCR and TCRC are exchanged between the two chains. Four forms of BsAb based on CD19scFvxUCHT1scFv TCRC were similarly prepared. These TCRC-based BsAb encoding constructs were cloned into the pCDNA3.1-V5 / His B vector via the EcoR1 / Not1 cloning sites for protein expression and into the pCDH-EF1-IRES-puro vector for lentiviral production.

[0332] To generate a TCRCab-based Trans-formatted QsAb encoding construct, the first set of gene domains ROR1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC-IgG4hinge-UCHT1scFv was constructed, and the second set of gene domains encoding TIM3scFv (or CD16ascFv)-IgG4hinge-TCRC-IgG4hinge-PD1scFv was connected by the P2A sequence.

[0333] To generate 41BBL-specific QsAb encoding constructs, the same first set of gene domains encoding ROR1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC-IgG4hinge-UCHT1scFv and the novel second set of gene domains encoding PD1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC-IgG4hinge-41BBL were connected by P2A. These TCRC-based QsAb encoding constructs were cloned into the pCDNA3.1-V5 / His B vector via the EcoR1 / Not1 cloning sites for protein expression and into the pCDH-EF1-IRES-puro vector for lentiviral production.

[0334] Production of recombinant antibodies

[0335] Recombinant antibodies were produced from transiently transfected (using lipofectamine-2000) HEK293T cell lines. After washing the cells in ice-cold PBS, the cells were resuspended in ice-cold PBS containing 2 mM PMSF at a cell density of 5 x 10 8 The cell suspension was subjected to three freeze (-80°C) / thaw (37°C) cycles and centrifuged at 14800 RPM for 10 minutes at 4°C using a tabletop centrifuge. The clear supernatant was aspirated, loaded with glycerol at a final concentration of 5, and stored in 10 μL aliquots at -20°C before use.

[0336] T cell transduction

[0337] To transduce Jurkat E6 with LV encoding BsAb, Jurkat E6 (0.5 mL, 0.3 x 10 6 / mL) was added to multiple wells of a 24-well tissue culture plate, and then 0.5mL of BsAb encoding and control lentivirus was added. The cells were stored at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 hours. As much culture supernatant as possible was aspirated from each well and stored at -20°C for subsequent Western blot (WB) analysis of secreted BsAb. Then, 2.0mL of fresh IDMEM was immediately added to each well to resuspend the LV-infected Jurkat cells. 0.4mL of cell suspension was collected and washed once with ice-cold PBS. After centrifugation, the cell pellet was stored at -80°C for WB analysis of BsAb. The cell concentration of the remaining 1.6mL cell suspension was counted and adjusted to 1×10 6 / mL and used immediately in T cell redirection experiments.

[0338] To transduce PBMCs with LV encoding BsAb, activated PBMCs that had been preactivated for 72 hours with CD3- and CD28-coupled magnetic beads and IL2 (500 IU / mL) were distributed into multiple wells (1.0 mL, 1.0 x 10 6 / mL) in a 12-well tissue culture plate, and then add 1.0mL of BsAb encoding or control LV and polybrene (8g / mL). After incubation for 16 hours, the culture supernatant was removed and 2.0mL of fresh IDMEM was added to each well to resuspend the LV-infected PBMC cells. After incubation for another 48 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2, the culture supernatant was removed and stored at -20°C for WB analysis of secreted BsAb. The LV-infected PBMCs were then resuspended in IDMEM containing IL2 (500IU / mL), cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2, and used in T cell redirection experiments within 3 days. Aliquots of cells (4x10 6 / mL), washed once with ice-cold PBS, and stored at -80 °C for WB analysis of intracellular BsAb.

[0339] T cell redirection assay and cytokine analysis

[0340] The efficacy of cell lysate-derived BsAbs in redirecting T cell activation was determined by co-incubating lysate-derived BsAbs with a mixture of T cells and tumor cells. Briefly, 100 μL of effector cells (1×10 5 cells, untransduced Jurkat T cells, or freshly thawed PBMCs) with 100 μL of target tumor cells (2x10 5 Cells (e.g., Raji, JeKo-1, MEC, MEC-ROR1, A549, HCC827, H1975, or MDA-MB-231) were plated in a round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate at a 1:2 effector-to-target ratio in a final volume of 200 μL per well. 2 μL of cell lysate-derived BsAb was then added to the cell mixture, resulting in final dilutions ranging from 1:100 to 1:1600. After centrifugation at 300 x g for 3 minutes, the plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 16 hours. 150 μL of supernatant was transferred to a new round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate. The supernatant was used to measure IL-2 concentration using a commercial human IL-2 ELISA kit, and IFN-γ concentration was measured using an in-house developed IFN-γ-ELISA kit, in which 2G1 monoclonal antibody (Cat.

After centrifugation at 300 x g for 3 minutes, the plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 16–60 hours. 150 μL of supernatant was transferred to a new round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate. IL-2 and IFN secretion by T cells was measured as previously described. Killing of target cells by redirected PBMCs was visualized and images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (Bio-Rad) with a 40X objective, and the frequency of targeted tumor cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0342] Flow cytometry

[0343] Flow cytometry was performed using a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) in plate format, and data were analyzed using FlowJo software. Cells were washed once with FACS buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 0.1% NaN3, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.0) and resuspended to 5 × 10 7 cells / mL and placed on ice before staining. For primary antibody staining, 1.5 μL of BsAb and control were dispensed into the wells of a 96-well round-bottom tissue culture plate. Then, 4.5 μL of prepared cells were added to the wells. After incubating the plate at 4°C for 45 minutes, 150 μL of FACS buffer was added to each well for washing the cells. After centrifugation at 300xg for 3 minutes, the supernatant was removed. For secondary antibody staining, the cell pellet was incubated with 20 μL of diluted antibody conjugate at 4°C for 45 minutes. After washing and suspension with FACS buffer, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0344] Immunoblotting

[0345] Cell lysates and 4- to 10-fold concentrated supernatants were dissolved in lysis buffer (50 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, and 1 mM EDTA) containing 5% mercaptoethanol and electrophoresed on a 12.5% ​​SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Pall) using a semi-dry transfer system (Bio-Rad). The membrane was blocked with 2% BSA in PBS and probed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-V5 or anti-HA antibodies (room temperature for 2 hours, antibody dilution 1:500). Specific bands on the membrane were detected using an iBright imaging system (Thermo Scientific) with an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate (Bio-Rad).

[0346] Immunofluorescence

[0347] 5 μL transiently transfected or stably established HEK293T cells (1×10 5 ) were fixed on slides by air drying (room temperature, 30 minutes) and fixed and permeabilized in 100% methanol (4 ° C, 15 minutes). After blocking with 2% BSA in PBS, cells were stained with FITC-coupled antibodies (37 ° C, 45 minutes). The antibodies used included isotype IgG1-FITC control, anti-V5-FITC antibody and anti-HA-FITC antibody. The slides were washed twice and immersed in PBS. The stained cells were visualized and images were captured using a 40X objective lens by fluorescence microscopy (Bio-Rad).

[0348] Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

[0349] According to the manufacturer's instructions, ELISA Max (Biolegend; 4030104) is used to measure the IL-2 concentration in the culture supernatant. The ELISA developed internally is used to determine the IFN-γ concentration in the culture supernatant. For the latter, in brief, 50L of culture supernatant or different concentrations of IFN-γ standard are mixed with 50L of biotin 133.5 monoclonal antibody (Art. No. M701B, ThermoFisher Scientific) (as development antibody) and added to the ELISA plate coated with 2G1 monoclonal antibody (Art. No.: M700A, ThermoFisher Scientific) (as capture antibody). After incubation with peroxidase, TMB substrate and stop solution conjugated with streptavidin, the absorbance at 450nm is measured using a microplate reader. The concentration of IFN-γ in the culture supernatant is calculated according to the standard curve of known standards.

[0350] Example 6 Target cell killing effect of T cells secreting bispecific antibodies in situ

[0351] The Incucyte cell imaging scanner was used to observe the cytotoxicity of primary T cells against GFP-labeled target cells. Healthy human PBMCs, transduced with a dual-antibody (cis-antibody) virus, were co-cultured with a panel of different target cells for 40 hours, and target cell cytotoxicity was monitored by fluorescence changes (E:T ratio = 2:1).

[0352] Lentiviral transfer vector production and viral packaging

[0353] To transduce primary T cells from PBMCs, the lentiviral vectors pCDH-EF1α-IRES-puro and pALD-sffv were used. The pCDH-EF1α-IRES-puro plasmid backbone contains an EF1α promoter and a puromycin selection marker. The pALD-sffv plasmid backbone contains an sffv promoter and an IRES-linker GFP reporter gene; the GFP gene was removed during cloning. All gene domains were synthesized using GeneWiz. The gene domains for the scFvs are: ROR1 (VL-28aa-linker-VH) and UCHT1 (VL-28aa-linker-VH). The 15aa linker is (Gly4Ser)3 (SEQ ID NO:53), and the 28aa linker is GGGGSGSTSGSGKPGSGEGSTKGGGGGS (SEQ ID NO:54). To generate a cis-form TCRC-based BsAb, the gene domain encoding ROR1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRα and the gene domain encoding UCHT1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRβ (in reverse amino acid sequence) were connected by a GGGGS sequence. Both the cis and trans structures have two substructures, in which TCRα and TCRβ swap positions between the two chains (Figure 1A). These TCRC-based BsAb encoding constructs were cloned into the pCDH-EF1α-IRES-puro vector via the EcoRI / NotI cloning sites for lentiviral production.

[0354] Primary T cell transduction

[0355] To transduce PBMCs with lentivirus encoding BsAb, activated PBMCs that had been preactivated for 72 hours with CD3- and CD28-coupled magnetic beads and IL2 (500 IU / mL) were distributed into multiple wells (1.0 mL, 1×10 6 / mL) in a 24-well tissue culture plate, and then add 1.0mL of BsAb encoding or control lentivirus and polybrene (8μg / mL). After incubation for 16 hours, the culture supernatant was removed and 2.0mL of new complete X-Vivo15 was added to each well to resuspend the lentivirus-infected PBMC cells. After incubation for another 48 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2, the culture supernatant was removed and stored at -20°C for flow cytometric analysis of secreted BsAb. The lentivirus-infected PBMCs were then resuspended in complete X-Vivo15 containing IL2 (500IU / mL), cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2, and used in situ secreting T cell tumor killing experiments within 3 days.

[0356] Flow cytometry detection of BsAb secretion

[0357] Flow cytometry was performed using a cell culture plate using a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter), and the data were analyzed using FlowJo software. MEC-ROR1 cells were washed once with FACS buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 0.1% NaN3, 2mM EDTA, pH 7.0) and resuspended to 5×10 7 cells / mL and placed on ice for subsequent staining. For primary antibody staining, 5 μL of culture supernatant of primary T cells (TCRαβ 8ab.1 and TCRβα9.7) transduced with BsAb lentivirus and controls were added to different wells of a 96-well round-bottom tissue culture plate. Then, 100 uL of prepared cells were added to the wells. After incubating the plate at 4°C for 25 minutes, 150 μL of FACS buffer was added to each well to wash the cells. After centrifugation at 300 × g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was removed. For secondary antibody staining, the cell pellet was incubated with 100 μL of diluted (1:100) fluorescently labeled secondary antibody anti-HA APC (BioLegend, Cat. 901524) at 4°C for 25 minutes. After washing and resuspension with FACS buffer, the binding of secreted BsAb to cells in the supernatant was analyzed by flow cytometry (Figure 7A).

[0358] In situ secreted BsAb-mediated tumor killing

[0359] The efficacy of in situ secreted BsAbs in re-directing T cell activation was determined by co-incubating BsAb-secreting T cells with tumor cells. As described in the “Primary T Cell Transduction” section, primary T cells secreting BsAbs were constructed by lentiviral transduction. To set up the T cell killing experiment, 100 μL of lentivirally transduced primary T cells (1.5×10 5 cells) and 100 μL target tumor cells (7.5×10 4 MEC, MEC-ROR1, and MB231 cells were cultured in flat-bottom 96-well tissue culture plates (Corning 3596) at a 2:1 effector to target ratio in a final volume of 200 μL per well. After centrifugation at 300 × g for 3 minutes, the plates were placed in an Incucyte cell imaging scanner and scanned in the GFP channel every 2 hours. After incubation for 40–60 hours at 37°C and 5% CO₂, fluorescently labeled target cells were analyzed using the Incucyte's built-in analysis tool to assess the tumor cell-killing efficacy of in situ BsAb-secreting T cells (Figure 7B). 50 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a new round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate for measurement of T cell secretion of IFN-γ (Figure 7B, lower right).

[0360] Example 7: Killing effect of T cells in situ secreting dual antibodies replacing CD19 as a target on target cells

[0361] As shown in Figure 8, there are two formats for in situ secretion CD19-UCHT1-BsAb based on TCRC, namely Trans format TCRC-based BsAb and Cis format TCRC-based BsAb. In order to produce a trans BsAb encoding construct based on TCRC, the gene domain encoding CD19scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC and the gene domain encoding UCHT1scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC are connected by a P2A sequence. In order to produce a TCRC-based BsAb in a cis format, the gene structure encoding CD19scFv-IgG4hinge-TCRC and the gene structure encoding UCHT1scFv-IgG4-TCRC (in the reverse amino acid sequence) are connected by a GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 49) sequence. Each Trans or Cis format has two sub-formats, in which TCR and TCRC are exchanged between the two chains. Four forms of BsAb based on CD19scFvxUCHT1scFv TCRC were similarly prepared. These TCRC-based BsAb encoding constructs were cloned into the pCDNA3.1-V5 / His B vector via the Ecor1 / Bstb1 cloning sites for protein expression and into the pCDH-EF1-IRES-puro vector for lentiviral production.

[0362] CD19-UCHT1-TCRC BsAbs effectively bind to T cells and CD19+ target cells

[0363] Flow cytometry was used to test the binding of in situ secreted CD19-UCHT1-TCRC BsAbs to the corresponding cell lines MEC-1 (expressing CD19+) and PBMC (expressing CD3+). Activated PBMCs that had been pre-activated for 24 hours with CD3- and CD28-coupled magnetic beads and IL-2 (500 IU / mL) were distributed into multiple wells (1.0 mL, 1.0×10 612-well tissue culture plates were plated with 1.0 mL of lentivirus encoding CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs or a control were then added. After a 24-hour incubation, the culture supernatant was removed and 2.0 mL of fresh X-VIVO medium was added to each well to resuspend the lentiviral-transduced PBMCs. After incubation for another 24 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2, the culture supernatant was removed and stored at -20°C. 100 μl of the supernatant was incubated with MEC-1 (1×105 cells) or freshly thawed PBMC (1×105 cells) at room temperature for 30 minutes, followed by centrifugation at 1300 rpm for five minutes. The cells were resuspended in 100 μl of FASC buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 0.1% NaN3, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.0) and stained with anti-HA-APC antibody as described above. Flow cytometry was then performed using a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) in plate mode, and the data were analyzed using FlowJo software.

[0364] The flow cytometry verification results ( FIG9A ) showed that the in situ secretory bispecific antibody described in the present application effectively binds to target tumor cells and T cells through its two arms, respectively.

[0365] CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs can effectively enhance T cell activation

[0366] The efficacy of in situ secreted BsAbs in T cell activation was determined by co-culturing T cells secreting CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs with tumor cells. Lentivirally transduced PBMCs (2x104) were co-cultured with negative expressing cells (K562 (expressing CD19-), 1x104) or with target tumor cells (Raji (expressing CD19+) / MEC-1 (expressing CD19+), 1x10 4 ) were co-cultured in a round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate at a 2:1 ratio of effector cells to target cells. IMDM medium was added to a final volume of 200 μL per well. After centrifugation at 300 × g for 5 minutes, the plate was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 24 hours. 100 μL of supernatant was transferred to a new round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate. Untransduced lentivirus-transduced PBMCs co-cultured with target tumor cells served as a negative control.

[0367] The IFN-γ concentration in the culture supernatant was determined using an ELISA kit developed in-house. In short, 50 L of culture supernatant or different concentrations of IFN-γ standard solution were mixed with 50 L of biotin 133.5 monoclonal antibody (Art. No. M701B, ThermoFisher Scientific) (as a development antibody) and added to an ELISA plate coated with 2G1 monoclonal antibody (Art. No.: M700A, ThermoFisher Scientific) (as a capture antibody). After incubation with peroxidase, TMB substrate and stop solution conjugated with streptavidin, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The concentration of IFN-γ in the culture supernatant was calculated according to a standard curve of known standards.

[0368] As shown in Figure 9B , compared with the negative cell group (PBMC+K562), the concentration of IFN-γ secreted by PBMC in the cell culture medium increased after lentiviral-transduced PBMCs were co-cultured with target tumor cells (PBMC+MEC-1 / PBMC+Raji), indicating that in situ secretion of CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs can effectively enhance T cell activation.

[0369] T cells secreting CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs in situ can effectively kill CD19+ target tumor cells

[0370] The killing efficacy of T cells secreting CD19-UCHT1 TCRC BsAbs on target tumor cells was determined by co-culturing BsAbs-secreting T cells with tumor cells. PBMCs (2x10 4 ) and negative control cells (K562 (expressing CD19-), 1×104), or target tumor cells (Raji (expressing CD19+) / MEC-1 (expressing CD19+), 1×10 4 ) were co-cultured in a round-bottom 96-well tissue culture plate with a ratio of effector cells to target cells of 2:1. IMDM culture medium was added to a final volume of 200 μL per well. In the SX1 Live-Cell Analysis System, the cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 48 hours, and the killing effect of lentiviral-transfected PBMCs on target tumor cells was analyzed using Incucyte 2022A Rev1 software. As shown in Figure 9C, in the negative cell group (PBMC+K562-GFP cells), the number of tumor cells in the transduced PBMC group did not change significantly compared with the untransduced group, and the PBMCs failed to produce a significant cytotoxic effect. However, after the transduced PBMCs were co-cultured with target tumor cells (MEC-1-GFP / Raji-GFP cells), the number of tumor cells decreased significantly compared with the untransduced group, resulting in a significant cytotoxic effect.
