Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a humanized monoclonal antibody against human B7-H6 and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] B7-H6 (NCR3LG1) was first identified as a specific ligand molecule for NKp30 in the K562 cell line through functional screening in 2009, and systematic progress has been made in its gene localization, molecular characteristics, and functional studies. The B7-H6 gene is located in the 11p15.1 region of human chromosome, and its amino acid sequence is highly homologous to classic immune checkpoint molecules such as PD-L1 and B7-H3. At the protein structure level, the human B7-H6 protein is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 454 amino acids (51 kDa). It contains two extracellular domains with a total of six N-glycosylation sites: an IgSF domain (25-141, 142-245), a juxtamembrane region (246-261), a transmembrane domain (262-281), and an intracellular domain (282-454). The intracellular domain contains a Gag-MA domain (293-381) and multiple signaling motifs, such as the ITIM, SH2 binding domain, and SH3 binding motif.
[0003] B7-H6 interacts with the NK cell killing receptor NKp30 and is currently the only known membrane ligand for NKp30, possessing the function of activating the killing activity of NK cells. NKp30 is mainly expressed in peripheral blood NK cells, but studies have also indicated that CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, ILC2 cells, and other cells with killing capabilities also express NKp30. B7-H6 is upregulated in activated monocytes, neutrophils, and stress cells, thus playing an important role in innate immunity, viral immunity, and the clearance of damaged cells. Multiple genome-wide screening studies have collectively shown that B7-H6 is a key regulatory node determining the killing efficacy of NK cells, and its deficiency can enable tumor cells to acquire significant immune evasion capabilities.

[0044] B7-H6 protein was coated onto ELISA plates at a concentration of 1 μg / ml.

After washing, the corresponding secondary antibodies were added and incubated at 4℃ for 20 min. After washing twice with PBS buffer, the cells were resuspended and the expression of B7-H6 on the cell surface was detected by flow cytometry. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0047] from Figure 3 As can be seen from this study, hu15G10 can recognize and bind to B7-H6 molecules on the cell surface.
[0048] Example 2 Humanized B7-H6 monoclonal antibody competes with maternal mouse antibody for recognition of antigenic epitopes. To identify the differences in antigen recognition sites between human B7-H6 monoclonal antibody hu15G10 and maternal mouse B7-H6 monoclonal antibody m15G10, B7-H6 protein was coated onto ELISA plates at a concentration of 1 μg / ml.

Biotin-labeled mouse 15G10 was then added, and the reaction proceeded for another 1 h. Secondary antibody was then added, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0049] from Figure 4As can be seen, human hu15G10 can block the binding of the B7-H6 monoclonal antibody m15G10 to B7-H6, indicating that human hu15G10 and the mouse parent antibody recognize the same site of the B7-H6 molecule, and the IC50 is 0.5627 ug / ml.
[0050] Example 3 Humanized B7-H6 monoclonal antibody blocks the binding of B7-H6 protein to its receptor molecule NKP30. B7-H6 protein was coated onto an ELISA plate at a concentration of 1 μg / ml.
