Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antibody preparation technology, and in particular to a KIR2DL fully human antibody and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] NK cell surfaces contain many important molecules that play crucial roles in NK cell activation, proliferation, differentiation, and effector function. KIR2DL is a newly discovered cell surface protein with immunosuppressive functions.

[0003] KIRs are a large family of receptors present in subsets of lymphocytes, including NK cells. The terminology used for KIRSs is based on the number of extracellular domains (KIR2D or KIR3D) and whether the cytoplasmic tail is long (KIR2DL or KIR3DL) or short (KIR2DS or KIR3DS). In humans, the presence or absence of a given KIR varies from NK cell to NK cell within a single individual's NK cell population. Relatively high levels of KIR molecule polymorphism also exist in the human population, with some KIR molecules present in some individuals but not all. Some KIR gene products stimulate lymphocyte activity when bound to appropriate ligands. The confirmed stimulatory KIRs all have short cytoplasmic tails and charged transmembrane residues associated with aptamer molecules possessing an immunostimulatory motif (ITAM). Other KIR gene products are inhibitory in nature. All confirmed repressive KIRs possess long cytoplasmic tails and appear to interact with distinct subsets of HLA antigens depending on the KIR subtype. Repressive KIRs present one or more repressive motifs that recruit phosphatases in their intracytoplasmic portions. Known repressive KIR receptors include members of the KIR2DL and KIR3DL subfamilies. KIR receptors with two I8 domains (KIR2D) identify HLA-C allotypes: KIR2DL2 (formerly known as p58.2) or the closely related gene product KIR2DL3 recognizes antigenic determinants shared by group 2 HLA-C allotypes (Cw1, 3, 7, and 8); while KIR2DL1 (p581) recognizes antigenic determinants shared by complementary group 1 HLA-C allotypes (Cw2, 4, 5, and 6). Recognition by KIR2DLI depends on the presence of a lysine (Lys) residue at position 80 of the HLA-C allele. KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 recognition depends on the presence of an asparagine (Asn) residue at position 80. Importantly, most ILA-C alleles have an asparagine or lysine residue at position 80. A KIR with three I8 domains, KIR3DL1 (p70), recognizes the antigenic determinant site shared by the HLA-Bw4 allele. Finally, the homodimer KIR3DL2 (p140) of the molecule with three Ig domains recognizes both HLA-A3 and HLA-A11.

[0004] Although inhibitory KIRs and other type I inhibitory receptors can be co-expressed by NK cells, there are cells expressing single-KIRs in the NK expression profile of any given individual. Therefore, the corresponding NK cells are blocked only by cells expressing the type I allele.

[0005] KIR-mismatched NK cell populations or clones—that is, NK cell populations expressing KIR (which is incompatible with the host's HLA molecules)—have been shown to be the most likely mediators of the graft-versus-leukemia effect seen in allogeneic (allogeneic) transplantation. One approach to reproducing this effect in a given individual is to use agents that block the KIR / IILA interaction.

[0006] Monoclonal antibodies specific to KIR2DL1 have been shown to block the interaction between KIR2DL1 and the Cw4 (or analogue) allele. Monoclonal antibodies targeting KIR2DL2 / 3 have also been described, blocking the interaction between KIR2DL2 / / 3 and the HLACw3 (or analogue) allele. However, using such agents in clinical settings would require developing two therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to treat all patients, regardless of whether any given patient expresses type 1 or type 2 HLA-C alleles. Furthermore, the specific HILA type expressed by each patient must be determined beforehand before deciding which therapeutic antibody to use, resulting in significantly higher treatment costs.

[0007] Watzl et al., Tissue Antigens, 56, p. 240 (2000) prepared cross-reactive antibodies against multiple isotypes of KIRs, but these antibodies did not enhance NK cell activity. Experiments were conducted using various monoclonal antibodies against different KIRs. One antibody, NKVSF1, recognized the common antigenic determinant of CD158a (KIR2DL1), CDI58b (KIR2DL2), and p50.3 (KIR2DS4). However, it did not suggest that NKVSF1 could enhance NK cell activity, nor did it suggest that it could be used as a therapeutic agent. Therefore, to date, no practical and effective method for regulating NK cell activity has been found in this field, and HLA allele-specific methods using specific reagents are still needed.

[0008] Monoclonal antibody drugs have potential immunogenicity, which may induce the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in the human body. ADAs can reduce the efficacy of drugs, and in more severe cases, cause hypersensitivity reactions. The closer the antibody gene source is to the human gene, the lower the immunogenicity, and the higher the efficacy and safety. From murine monoclonal antibodies to fully human monoclonal antibodies, the immunogenicity of biologics has been continuously reduced, providing patients with safer and more durable treatment options. Generally speaking, chimeric antibodies are 70% human in composition, humanized antibodies can reach a humanization level of 95%, while the amino acid sequence of fully human antibodies is 100% derived from humans. This difference in humanization level also determines the difference in antibody efficacy. Because fully human antibodies are entirely derived from the human body, they have the lowest rejection rate and the best safety profile. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully human KIR2DL antibody and its applications. Compared to Yangshen (1-7F9), the only currently clinically approved antibody, the fully human KIR2DL antibody described in this invention can better block the interaction between KIR2DL and its ligand HLA-C.

[0050] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0051] As used in this article, the terms "VH" and "VL" refer to the variable regions of the antibody heavy chain and light chain, respectively. Variable regions consist of discrete, well-defined subregions called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs, also known as HVRs) and framework regions (FRs). A CDR is an amino acid within the antibody variable region that confers antigen specificity and / or binding affinity, separated by FRs. Each antibody light chain variable region contains three CDRs (VLCDR1, VLCDR2, and VLCDR3), and each antibody heavy chain variable region contains three CDRs (VHCDR1, VHCR2, and VHCDR3). The complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of the VH and VL regions alternate with more conserved regions of the framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4.

[0052] For the purposes of this invention, the term "KIR2DL2 / 3" refers to one or both of the KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 receptors. These two receptors have very high homology, may be alleles of the same gene, and are considered interchangeable. Therefore, for the purposes of this invention, KIR2DL2 / 3 is considered a single repressive KIR molecule, and thus antibodies that cross-react only with KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 and not with other repressive KIR receptors are not within the scope of this invention.

[0053] As used herein, the term "expression" refers to the process by which a polypeptide is produced based on the coding sequence of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a gene. This process may include transcription, post-transcriptional control, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational control, post-translational modification, or any combination thereof.

[0054] For any techniques or conditions not specified in this embodiment, the operation shall be carried out in accordance with conventional technical methods and instrument manuals in this field; for reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified, they are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0055] In the following embodiments, the amino acid sequences are shown in Table 1:

Results showed... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The results showed that the C7 sequence could not bind to KIR2DL1 but could bind to KIR2DL3, while the KD6, F12 antibody sequences and Yangshen could bind to KIR2DL1 / KIR2DL3.
