Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof specifically binding to rabies virus and application of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rabies is an acute central nervous system infectious disease caused by rabies virus (RABV), with a mortality rate close to 100%, and is considered as one of the most deadly infectious diseases. It is estimated that about 50,000 people die of rabies worldwide each year, of which about 40% are children under 15 years old. To date, rabies is still a serious public health challenge in more than 150 countries and regions worldwide, especially in Asia and Africa.

[0003] Rabies vaccines have achieved certain results in preventing the onset of the disease, but passive immunotherapy is still the most effective means for individuals who have been exposed to rabies virus. At present, the main drug for emergency prophylactic treatment of rabies is blood-derived immunoglobulin (RIG). However, the existing RIG treatment has many limitations, including high cost, supply shortage, potential pathogen contamination risk, and limited broad spectrum, which is difficult to cover the strains with far genetic distance in Lyssavirus.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop new humanized monoclonal antibodies against rabies virus G protein with broad-spectrum neutralizing activity, and to establish an efficient antibody discovery, screening and verification system to meet the needs of global rabies prevention and control.

[0076] To obtain specific antibodies against the G protein of rabies virus, the present disclosure utilizes flow cytometry to screen G protein-specific memory B cells from the PBMC of vaccinees with different immune backgrounds. The selected individual B cells are sorted into 96-well PCR plates, subjected to single-cell lysis and RT-PCR reaction, and successfully construct cDNA containing naturally paired heavy and light chain variable region sequences. Subsequently, the full-length sequences of the antibody heavy and light chains are obtained by specific primer amplification, and an expression frame (TAD) is constructed by fragment splicing. The resulting product is transiently transfected into HEK293T cells, the antibody is expressed in a 96-well plate on a small scale, and the cell supernatant is collected for pseudovirus neutralization experiments for functional primary screening. The neutralization experiment uses a rabies virus VSV pseudovirus system to evaluate the neutralization ability of the antibody against representative rabies virus strains. Some of the expression products show good neutralization activity, thereby preliminarily screening a batch of positive candidate antibodies Figure 1 ).

[0077] To further screen candidate antibodies with strong binding ability and neutralization activity, ELISA binding experiments and pseudovirus neutralization experiments were performed on the preliminarily screened positive antibodies. ELISA results show that most antibodies have good binding ability to the G protein of the classical vaccine strain (P08667.1, CAI43218.1, ACR39382.1), and some antibodies exhibit broad-spectrum binding ability between different strains Figure 2 ).

[0078] Pseudovirus neutralization experiments further evaluated the neutralization activity of candidate antibodies against the G protein of multiple rabies virus strains (ADM32132.1, ACR39382.1, ADJ29911.1, ADD84785.1, CAI43218.1, P08667.1), and the results showed that some antibodies had strong neutralization ability against multiple strains (such as #230, #272, #249, #296, #213, #253), suggesting their potential as broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies Figure 3 ).

[0079] To determine the affinity of purified antibodies to the G protein of rabies virus, a biological layer interference (BLI) experiment was performed. The results showed that most antibodies exhibited high affinity to the G protein of the vaccine strain (P08667.1) Figure 4 To verify the broad-spectrum neutralization ability of candidate antibodies in a real infection scenario, a pseudovirus neutralization screening system containing 46 street strains of RABV was constructed. The experimental results showed that most candidate antibodies retained neutralization ability in the street strain background, and some antibody combinations (such as #230 / #272, #249 / #213, #296 / #213, #249 / #253, #296 / #253, #249 / #272) exhibited synergistic or complementary neutralization effects between strains Figure 5). These results suggest that the antibody combination strategy can further expand the protection coverage and is a key direction for the optimization of rabies virus biological agents.

[0080] In addition, to determine whether these antibodies have neutralizing effects on other viruses of the Lyssavirus genus known to infect humans, the antibodies were further tested for neutralizing activity against the G protein of various Lyssavirus strains (ABLV: KU739052.1, ARAV: EF614259.1, BBLV: KU761304.1, EBLV1: EU352768.1, EBLV2: AAX62813.1, IRKV: EF614260.1, KHUV: EF614261.1). The results showed that some antibodies maintained high neutralizing potency against various Lyssavirus strains, and some combinations may exhibit potential broad-spectrum neutralization advantages. Figure 6 ).

[0081] The humanized antibodies obtained by screening of the present disclosure exhibit high affinity for the G protein of various classical vaccine strains in ELISA binding experiments, and have significant neutralizing ability for representative RABV strains and some non-classical Lyssavirus strains in a pseudovirus system, with a wide coverage range and potential as broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies.

[0082] In the pseudovirus neutralization screening system of 46 naturally derived RABV street viruses, the protective ability of the candidate antibodies and their combinations was further verified in a context closer to natural infection, and some antibody combinations exhibited synergistic or complementary neutralization effects among different strains, significantly expanding the neutralization coverage. Moreover, the antibodies obtained by the present disclosure are all fully humanized IgG1 frameworks, suitable for large-scale mammalian cell expression, with low safety and immunogenicity risks, mature production processes, and can be used as candidate clinical prevention or treatment preparations to enter the drug development process.

[0083] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, further detailed description will be made in combination with the drawings and examples. The specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute any limitation on the present application. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present disclosure. Such structures and technologies are also described in many publications.

[0084] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly used in the art to which the present application belongs. For the purpose of interpreting the present specification, the following definitions will apply, and terms used in the singular will also include the plural, and vice versa, if appropriate.

[0085] As used herein, the terms "a" and "one" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, reference to "a cell" includes a plurality of such cells, and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so on.

[0086] As used herein, the term "about" means ±20% of the number that it precedes. In some embodiments, the term "about" means ±10% of the number that it precedes. In some embodiments, the term "about" means ±5% of the number that it precedes.

[0087] As used herein, the term "rabies virus" refers to the genus Lyssavirus. The genus Lyssavirus is a genus of viruses under the family Rhabdoviridae, whose member viruses can infect mammals, with the core feature of being highly pathogenic.

[0088] Rabies Virus (RABV) is the most classic, most pathogenic to humans, and most widely distributed virus species in the genus Lyssavirus, and is also the main pathogen of human rabies worldwide. Non-classical Lyssavirus is other virus species in the genus Lyssavirus except RABV.

[0089] Rabies Virus (RABV) belongs to the genus Lyssavirus of the family Rhabdoviridae, and is the pathogen of the zoonotic and highly infectious disease "rabies". It is mainly transmitted through the saliva of sick animals (such as dogs, cats, and bats), and the mortality rate after infection is almost 100%. The virus particle structure is composed of a nucleocapsid and an envelope. The nucleocapsid contains a single-stranded negative-strand RNA genome, which encodes five proteins: N, P, M, G, and L. The envelope surface is inlaid with the key glycoprotein G, which is the "key" for the virus to invade host cells and is also the core antigen for inducing the production of neutralizing antibodies in the body.

[0090] Street Virus refers to wild-type RABV isolated from naturally infected hosts (such as the brain tissue and saliva of sick animals), which is opposite to "fixed virus" (adapted to cell culture, with reduced pathogenicity, used for vaccine production) that has been long-term passaged and domesticated in the laboratory. Street virus has natural pathogenicity, strong virulence, and a wide host range (can infect dogs, cats, humans, bats, and other mammals), and the genome may have natural variation, which is more characteristic of the real epidemic virus strain.

[0091] Pseudovirus, also known as "pseudo virus", is an artificially constructed, non-replicating virus simulation particle, the core feature is "infectious but non-pathogenic". Structurally, only the "infection-related structure" of the virus (such as the envelope glycoprotein G of RABV) is retained, and the "replication essential genomic fragment" (such as the RNA genome of RABV is replaced by a reporter gene, or the coding sequence of L, P and other replication key proteins is deleted) is replaced or deleted. Functionally: can combine host cell receptors and invade cells through surface antigens (such as G protein) like natural viruses, but due to the lack of complete genome, it cannot complete replication in cells, nor can it form new infectious particles, and it will not cause diseases.

[0092] The term "antibody" as used herein encompasses a variety of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific and multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific or trispecific antibodies), single chain molecules, and antibody fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.

[0093] The term "monoclonal antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and / or bind the same epitope, except for possible variants containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of the monoclonal antibody preparation, typically present at low frequency. Unlike polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different antigenic determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on the antigen.

[0094] The terms "antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof" and "antibody" are used interchangeably herein to refer to antibodies that are substantially similar to native antibodies. A "native antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that naturally occurs. For example, a native IgG class antibody is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two light chains and two heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From N- to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy chain domain or a heavy chain variable domain, and three constant domains (CH1, CH2 and CH3), also called a heavy chain constant region. From N- to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light chain domain or a light chain variable domain, and a light chain constant domain (CL), also called a light chain constant region. The heavy chains of an antibody can be one of five types, a (IgA), d (IgD), e (IgE), g (IgG), or m (IgM), and can be further divided into subtypes, e.g., g1 (IgG1), g2 (IgG2), g3 (IgG3), g4 (IgG4), a1 (IgA1), and a2 (IgA2). The light chain of an antibody can be one of two types, a k light chain and a l light chain, based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain.

[0095] Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, with the heavy chain also including a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The constant regions of the antibodies can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system.

[0096] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" as used herein refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding of the antigen-binding molecule to an antigen. The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain (VH and VL, respectively) of a native antibody generally have similar structures, with each domain comprising four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three hypervariable regions (HVRs). A single VH or VL domain can be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity.

[0097] The term "variable" as used herein refers to certain segments of the variable domain that are universally different in sequence between antibodies. The V domain mediates antigen binding and defines the specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domains. Instead, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (HVRs) within the variable domains of both the light and heavy chains. The more highly conserved portions of variable domains are called the framework regions (FR). The variable domains of the heavy and light chains each comprise four FR regions, largely adopting a beta-sheet configuration, connected by three HVRs, which form loops connecting, and in some cases forming part of, the beta-sheet structure. The HVRs in each chain are held together in part by the FR regions of that chain, and, in part, by the HVRs of the other chain, to form the antibody's antigen binding site (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991)). The constant domains are not involved directly in binding of an antibody to an antigen, but exhibit other effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

[0098] The term "hypervariable region" or "HVR", as used herein, refers to the regions of an antibody variable domain that are hypervariable in sequence and / or form structurally defined loops ("hypervariable loops") that are believed to be involved in binding the antigen. Generally, native four-chain antibodies comprise six HVRs; three in the VHand three in the VL. The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR", as used herein, are the regions of most concentrated variation in amino acids in the variable region, with three CDRs in each of VHand VL(HCDR1-HCDR3 and LCDR1-LCDR3). The HVRs generally comprise amino acid residues from a "hypervariable loop" and / or from a "complementarity determining region" (CDR) that are hypervariable in sequence and / or involved in antigen recognition.

[0099] "Framework" or "FR" refers to the variable domain residues other than the hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain is generally composed of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Thus, the HVR and FR sequences generally appear in the following sequence in VHand (or VL): FR1-H1 (L1)-FR2-H2 (L2)-FR3-H3 (L3)-FR4.

[0100] The "class" of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or constant region of the heavy chain possessed by an antibody. There are five classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM and several of these can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgGi, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAi and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called a, d, e, g, and m, respectively.

[0101] A "humanized antibody" comprises amino acid residues from non-human HVRs and amino acid residues from human FRs. In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody will comprise at least one, and typically two, variable domains in which all or substantially all HVRs (e.g., CDRs) correspond to those of a non-human antibody, and all or substantially all FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody optionally can comprise at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. An "antibody in a humanized form" of a non-human antibody, for example, refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization.

[0102] A "humanized antibody" has an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell or derived from an antibody of non-human origin that utilizes a human antibody repertoire or other human antibody-encoding sequences. This definition specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen binding residues.

[0103] The present application also relates to amino acid sequence variants, which can be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the molecule, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, insertions into, and / or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequence of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution is made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g., antigen binding activity. Sites of interest for substitutional

[0104] The term "polynucleotide" or "nucleic acid" or "nucleotide sequence" as used herein refers to an isolated nucleic acid molecule or construct, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), virus-derived RNA or plasmid DNA (pDNA). A polynucleotide can comprise conventional phosphodiester bonds or non-conventional bonds (e.g., amide, baseborate, etc.). The term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to any one or more nucleic acid segments, e.g., DNA or RNA fragments, present in a polynucleotide.

[0105] An "antibody fragment" or "antigen binding fragment" comprises a portion of an intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv; diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, cross-Fab fragments; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv); multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments and single domain antibodies (dAbs).

[0106] The term "antigen binding domain" or "antigen binding site" as used herein refers to the part of an antigen binding molecule that specifically binds to an antigenic determinant. More specifically, the term "antigen binding domain" refers to the part of an antibody that comprises the region that specifically binds to and is complementary to a part or the whole of an antigen. In the case of an antigen molecule that is large, the antigen binding molecule can bind only to a specific part of the antigen, which is referred to as an epitope. The antigen binding domain can be provided by, for example, one or more variable domains (also referred to as variable regions). Preferably, the antigen binding domain comprises an antibody light chain variable region (VL) and an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH). In one aspect, the antigen binding domain is capable of binding to its antigen and blocking or partially blocking the function of said antigen.

[0107] The term "antigenic determinant" as used herein is synonymous with "antigen" and "epitope" and refers to a site on a polypeptide macromolecule (e.g., a contiguous stretch of amino acids or a conformational configuration composed of different regions of non-contiguous amino acids) to which an antigen binding moiety binds, thereby forming an antigen binding moiety-antigen complex. Antigenic determinants can be found, for example, on the surface of tumor cells, microbe-infected cells, other diseased cells, immune cells, free agents in serum, and / or extracellular matrix (ECM). Unless otherwise specified, proteins used as antigens in the present application can be any native form of protein of any vertebrate origin, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). The antigen can also be a human protein, or the antigen is a "full-length," unprocessed protein, as well as any form of the protein produced upon intracellular processing, or a naturally occurring variant of the protein, such as a splice variant or allelic variant.

[0108] The term "specifically binds to" as used herein refers to binding selectivity for an antigen and can be distinguished from non-specific or nonspecific binding. The term "affinity" or "binding affinity" as used herein refers to the strength of the noncovalent interaction between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Binding affinity can generally be expressed as a dissociation constant (Kd), which is the ratio of the dissociation rate constant to the association rate constant (K off and K on) can include different rate constants, as long as the ratio of the rate constants remains the same. The ability of an antigen binding molecule to bind to a particular antigen can be measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other techniques familiar to one skilled in the art, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques, as well as traditional binding assays. In one embodiment, the extent of binding of an antigen binding molecule to an unrelated protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antigen binding molecule to the antigen, as measured, for example, by SPR. In certain embodiments, the dissociation constant (Kd) of a molecule that binds to an antigen is <1 μM, <100 nM, <10 nM, <1 nM, <0.1 nM, <0.01 nM, or <0.001 nM (e.g., 10 -7 M or lower, e.g., 10 -7 M to 10 -13 M, e.g., 10 -9 M to 10 -13 M). The term "affinity" or "binding affinity" as used herein refers to the strength of the noncovalent interaction between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Binding affinity can be generally expressed as a dissociation constant (Kd), which is the ratio of the dissociation rate constant to the association rate constant, with smaller Kd values indicating smaller dissociation and representing stronger affinity between the antibody and antigen.

The expression vectors of the present application comprise an expression cassette. The expression vector can undergo transcription of a large number of stable mRNAs. Once the expression vector is within the target cell, the ribonucleic acid molecule or protein encoded by the gene is produced by the cellular transcription and / or translation machinery. The term "expression cassette" as used herein refers to a recombinantly or synthetically generated polynucleotide having a series of nucleic acid elements that allow for the transcription of a particular nucleic acid in a target cell. The recombinant expression cassette portion of an expression vector typically includes, among other sequences, a nucleic acid sequence to be transcribed and a promoter.

[0111] The term "host cell" as used herein refers to a cell into which a foreign nucleic acid has been introduced, and also includes the progeny of such a cell. Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells," including primary transformed cells as well as progeny derived therefrom. The nucleic acid of the progeny can not be identical to that of the parent cell from which it was derived, but can contain mutations. Host cells are any type of cell that can be used to produce an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present application. Host cells include cultured cells, e.g., cultured mammalian cells, such as CHO cells, HEK293 cells, BHK cells, NSO cells, SP2 / 0 cells, YO myeloma cells, P3X63 mouse myeloma cells, PER cells, PER.C6 cells, or hybridoma cells, yeast cells, insect cells, and plant cells, and also include cells contained within a transgenic animal, transgenic plant, or cultured plant or animal tissue.
