Claims 4 / 4 Page 5 CN 122302079 A Bispecific Chimeric Antigen Receptor Targeting BCMA-CD19 and Its Application Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to a bispecific chimeric antigen receptor targeting BCMA-CD19 and its application. Background Art
[0002] Cell therapy is an emerging medical technology. Its main principle is to utilize the patient's own immune cells, which are cultured and modified in vitro to give them the ability to specifically kill tumor cells. These modified immune cells are then reinfused into the patient to achieve the purpose of treating tumors. Among them, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) technology is aCAR-T cell therapy is an important cell therapy technology that uses genetic engineering to enable T cells to express a specific antibody, thereby allowing T cells to specifically recognize and kill tumor cells expressing the corresponding antigen. Tumor immunotherapy is a treatment method that utilizes the body's own immune system to fight tumors, with the main goal of enhancing the body's immune system's ability to recognize and kill tumor cells. Among them, CAR-T cell therapy is an important tumor immunotherapy method, which directly introduces T cells with specific killing capabilities into the patient's body to achieve specific killing of tumor cells. Genetic engineering technology is an important part of modern biotechnology, which achieves genetic modification of organisms through operations such as gene cutting, ligation, and transfer. In CAR-T cell therapy, genetic engineering technology is widely used to modify T cells to give them specific anti-tumor capabilities.
[0003] Existing CAR-T cell therapies mainly target single tumor antigens, such as CD19 or BCMA. By designing and constructing CAR-T cells that target specific tumor antigens, specific killing of corresponding tumor cells can be achieved. However, this single-target CAR-T cell therapy has some problems. For example, if the expression level of the antigen on the surface of the tumor cells is low, or if the tumor cells escape antigens, then the CAR-T cells may not be able to effectively kill the tumor cells. 3) Problems of existing technology: Existing single-target CAR-T cell therapy has some problems and limitations. First, due to the heterogeneity and complexity of tumor cells, a single tumor antigen may not meet all treatment needs. Second, tumor cells can evade the attack of CAR-T cells by changing antigen expression or producing antigen escape. In addition, single-target CAR-T cell therapy may also lead to increased drug resistance of tumor cells, thereby affecting the treatment effect. Therefore, how to construct CAR-T cells that simultaneously target multiple tumor antigens to improve the treatment effect is an important challenge facing current cell therapy technology.
[0004] Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are a class of diseases caused by the immune reaction between pathogenic autoantibodies and self-antigens, resulting in damage to the body's own tissues. Currently, they include more than 80 diseases, affecting about 7.6% to 9.4% of the world's population. The potential advantages of CAR-T therapy in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus include: 1) the opportunity for immune memory remodeling through deep clearance of B cells in the body. T cells can enter tissues and clear memory B cells in the tissues. 2) long-term remission with a single treatment, avoiding continuous drug administration.
[0005] Autoantibodies and autoreactive B cells are directly related to autoimmune diseases. These pathogenic B cells will recognize self-antigens and produce self-antigen antibodies, leading to the development of autoimmune diseases.B cells are the source of pathogenic antibodies. B cells can differentiate into plasmablasts and long-lived plasma cells. Among them, B cells, memory B cells, and plasmablasts express CD19, while long-lived plasma cells express BCMA but not CD19. Therefore, CAR-T therapy targeting both CD19 and BCMA is expected to achieve better therapeutic effects and a wider range of indications.

[0084] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the invention from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0085] The following further describes the invention: In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the scientific and technical terms used herein have meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the protein and nucleic acid chemistry, molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, microbiology, and immunology-related terms and laboratory procedures used herein are all widely used terms and routine procedures in the corresponding fields. Meanwhile, to better understand the invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.
[0086] In this application, the term "Chimeric Antigen Receptor" (CAR) is a core component of CAR cell therapy drugs, which may include an extracellular antigen recognition domain (e.g., a portion that binds to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs)), a hinge region, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular domain. CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T) cell immunotherapy is considered one of the most promising means to conquer tumors. CAR-T cells utilize genetic modification to enable T cells to express CAR proteins. These CAR proteins are capable of recognizing intact proteins on the membrane surface without relying on antigen presentation, thereby activating and functionally affecting T cells.
[0087] In this application, the term "extracellular antigen recognition domain" refers to an antigen recognition domain.Domain (ARD). CAR cell therapy products (such as CAR-T cells) can specifically recognize and / or bind to target antigens expressed by tumor cells by relying on extracellular antigen recognition domains. To date, antigen recognition domains are derived from the single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of antibodies, or from receptor-ligand interactions, TCR mimics, and variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs). The most common source to date is the scFv segment of antibodies. The scFv includes the antibody heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region, linked by a peptide chain, such as the 18-amino acid linker sequence GSTGSGSGKPGSGEGSTKG. Common CDR (Canonical Receiver Registry) rules for antibodies include Kabat, AbM, Chothia, Contact, and IMGT. These rules are well-known to those skilled in the art. When applying websites that execute these rules, simply inputting the VH and VL sequences and selecting the corresponding rule will yield CDR sequences according to different rules. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of this application covers combinations of CDR sequences obtained by analysis using different rules.
[0088] In this application, the term "hinge region" refers to the connecting segment that acts between the extracellular antigen recognition domain and the transmembrane domain. This region allows CAR to recognize antigens by giving the antigen recognition domain a certain range of activity. Currently used hinge regions are mainly derived from one or more of IgG1, IgG4, CD4, CD7, CD28, CD84, and CD8α. In addition, typical hinge regions also contain some residues that participate in CAR dimerization, which helps to enhance antigen sensitivity.
[0089] In this application, "transmembrane region" refers to the transmembrane domain that connects the intracellular and extracellular components of the CAR structure. Different transmembrane domains can affect the expression and stability of CAR to a certain extent, but they do not directly participate in signal transduction. However, they can enhance downstream signal transduction through interaction. The transmembrane region may originate from one or more of CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8α, CD28, CD80, CD86, CD88, 4-1BB, CD152, OX40, and Fc70.
[0090] In this application, the term "intracellular domain" includes intracellular signal transduction regions and may also include co-stimulatory signal transduction regions.
[0091] In this application, the term "intracellular signal transduction region" refers to the activation of at least one normal effector function of immune effector cells responsible for expressing CAR. The intracellular signal transduction region may originate from CD3ζ, CD3γ, CD3δ, CD3ε, CCD5, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, and FcRγ.One or more of FcRβ, CD66d, DAP10, DAP12, and Syk.
[0092] In this application, the term "co-stimulatory signal transduction region" is used because, in addition to the stimulation of antigen-specific signals (as described in the specification 7 / 24 page 12 CN 122302079 A), many immune effector cells require co-stimulation to promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival, as well as to activate the effector functions of cells. In some embodiments, the CAR may further include one or more co-stimulatory signal transduction regions, wherein the co-stimulatory signal transduction regions may be derived from one, two, or more of CD2, CD3, CD7, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD40, CD83, CD244, 4-1BB, OX40, LFA-1, ICOS, LIGHT, NKG2C, NKG2D, DAP10, B7-H3, and MyD88.
[0093] In this application, the term "scFv" has the conventional meaning in the art, referring to a single-chain variable fragment (scFv), which is an antibody formed by linking the heavy chain variable fragment and the light chain variable fragment through a short peptide (linker).
[0094] In this application, terms such as "Sc(Fv)2" and "[Sc(Fv)2]2" without specific explanation also have the conventional meaning in the art.
[0095] In this application, the term "isolated" generally refers to something obtained artificially from its natural state. If a "isolated" substance or component appears in nature, it may be because its natural environment has changed, or the substance has been isolated from its natural environment, or both. For example, a certain unisolated polynucleotide or polypeptide may exist naturally in the body of a living animal, and a high-purity identical polynucleotide or polypeptide isolated from this natural state is called isolated. The term "isolated" does not exclude substances obtained artificially from their natural state and then processed artificially or synthesized, nor does it exclude the presence of other impure substances that do not affect the activity of the substance.
[0096] In this application, the term "guide peptide" refers to a short peptide preceding the extracellular antigen recognition domain (such as the scFv sequence), whose function is to guide the export of recombinant proteins synthesized intracellularly to the extracellular space. Commonly used guide peptides include human CD8α signal peptide or human GM-CSF receptor α signal peptide.
[0097] In this application, one of the key factors determining the efficacy of CAR-immunotherapy is the selection of tumor target antigens. In this application, the term "BCMA" refers to B cell maturation antigen, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. Human BCMA is expressed almost exclusively in plasma cells and multiple myeloma cells. BCMA can be used for immune responses against multiple myeloma.Suitable tumor antigen targets for therapeutic agents. However, due to the heterogeneity of specific antigens on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, the selection of antigen targets is not necessarily singular. By selecting appropriate targets, the anti-tumor activity of CAR-T cells can be optimized. The "CD19" molecule is currently the main target for the treatment of B-lymphocyte-derived hematologic malignancies and is also a hot topic in CAR-T cell therapy research. Most B-cell-derived malignant tumor cells express CD19 molecules on their surface. Multiple myeloma, as a B-cell lineage tumor, generally does not express CD19 molecules, therefore CD19 is usually not used as a target for the treatment of multiple myeloma. However, some literature studies suggest that some trace amounts of drug-resistant and relapsed multiple myeloma clones also have a CD19+ phenotype. At the same time, compared with preparing CAR-immune cells targeting different targets separately and using them together, dual-target CAR-immune cells have the following advantages: 1. Fewer immune cells are required, preparation is convenient and cost-effective; 2. From the perspective of drug administration, the safety and operability of using one product are much higher than using two products.
[0098] In this application, the term "humanized antibody" also refers to a humanized antibody. Methods of humanization are known (e.g., WO96 / 02576). The purpose of humanization is to reduce heterology while substantially preserving the affinity and specificity of the parent antibody. For example, in the case where the CDR is derived from a mouse antibody, primer 25 (the corresponding primer can be obtained by referring to the method described in WO98 / 13388) can be synthesized and used to link the CDR of the mouse antibody to the frame region (FR) of the human antibody.
[0099] In this application, the term "linking sequence" generally refers to an oligopeptide or polypeptide region of about 1 to 100 amino acids in length that links any structure / region of the chimeric antigen receptor of the present invention together. The linking sequence may consist of different amino acid residues (e.g., glycine and serine) so that adjacent protein domains can move freely relative to each other. Longer linking sequences can be used when it is desirable to ensure that two adjacent domains do not interfere with each other spatially. Specification 8 / 24 pages 13 CN 122302079 A
[0100] In this application, the term "isolated nucleic acid molecule" generally refers to an isolated form of nucleotide, deoxyribonucleotide, or ribonucleotide of any length, which may be isolated from its natural environment or artificially synthesized analogs.
[0101] In this application, during CAR gene transduction / transfection and target gene expression, the gene transduction / transfection methods mainly include viral and non-viral methods. For example: through γ-retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, adenovirus-associated viral vectors, plasmid DNA-dependent vectors, transposon-dependent gene transfer, and mRNA-mediated gene transduction.
[0102] The term "vector" generally refers to a vector into which a polynucleotide encoding a protein can be inserted to enable protein expression.A vector is a nucleic acid delivery vehicle. Vectors can transform, transduce, or transfect host cells, enabling the expression of their carried genetic material elements within the host cells. Examples of vectors include: plasmids; phage particles; Cosmids; artificial chromosomes such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PAC); bacteriophages such as λ phage or M13 phage; and animal viruses. Animal viruses used as vectors include retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papillomaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may contain multiple elements controlling expression, including promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. Additionally, vectors may contain replication initiation sites. Vectors may also include components that facilitate their entry into cells, such as viral particles, liposomes, or protein coats, but are not limited to these substances. The term "transposon" refers to a discontinuous DNA segment with the ability to migrate between chromosomal loci and carry genetic information, such as the Sleeping Beauty SB system and the PB system derived from lepidopteran insects. In some embodiments, electroporation can also be used to transduce mRNA into T cells.
[0103] In this application, the term "immune effector cell" generally refers to a cell that participates in an immune response, such as promoting an immune effector response. Immune effector cells may be selected from one or more of the following groups: T lymphocytes, natural killer cells (NK cells), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), pluripotent stem cells, T lymphocytes differentiated from pluripotent stem cells, NK cells differentiated from pluripotent stem cells, and embryonic stem cells.
[0104] In this application, the term "pharmaceutical composition" generally refers to a pharmaceutical composition suitable for administration to a patient, which may contain the immune effector cells described in this application and may also contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as one or more of the following: carriers, protectants, stabilizers, excipients, diluents, solubilizers, surfactants, emulsifiers, and preservatives. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include cryoprotectants, such as cell cryopreservation solutions. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition of this application is a cell suspension or its cryopreserved cells.
[0105] In this application, the term "subject" generally refers to a human or non-human animal, including but not limited to mice, rats, cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep, or monkeys.
[0106] In this application, the term "comprising" generally means including the explicitly specified features, but does not exclude other elements.
[0107] In this application, the term "about" generally refers to a range of fluctuations acceptable to those skilled in the art above or below a specified value, such as variations within ±0.5% to 10%, for example, 0.5%, 1%, or more above or below a specified value.The percentage varies within the range of 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10%.
[0108] On the other hand, this application also provides the chimeric antigen receptor, the isolated nucleic acid molecule, the vector, and / or the engineered immune effector cells, which can be used to treat diseases or conditions associated with BCMA expression.
[0109] In some embodiments, the diseases or conditions associated with BCMA expression may include non-solid tumors, optionally, the non-solid tumors being hematologic malignancies.
[0110] In some embodiments, the diseases or conditions associated with BCMA expression may include multiple myeloma. Specification 9 / 24 pages 14 CN 122302079 A
[0111] In some embodiments, the multiple myeloma is relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

[0297] Example 1: Preparation of humanized CD19 CAR-T cells
[0298] I. Humanization screening of anti-CD19 murine antibodies
[0299] 1. Construction of humanized anti-CD19-CAR and lentiviral packaging
[0300] The murine antibody HI19a (named CNCT19 in this patent, the amino acid sequence of its scFv is as shown in SEQ ID NO:51) was humanized. The humanized antibody sequence numbers are Q11 (the amino acid sequence of its scFv is as shown in SEQ ID NO:16, the amino acid sequence of VH is as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and the amino acid sequence of VL is as shown in SEQ ID NO:1).(Shown NO:2), Q14 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:17, VH amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:3, VL amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:2), Q23 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:18, VH amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:4, VL amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:5), Q33 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:19, VH amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:4, VL amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:6), Q54 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:20, VH amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:3, VL amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:7), GS32 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:21, VH amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:8, VL amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:9), GS21 (its scFv amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:21). NO:22, the amino acid sequence of VH is shown in SEQ ID NO:10, the amino acid sequence of VL is shown in SEQ ID NO:11), GS22 (the amino acid sequence of its scFv is shown in SEQ ID NO:23, the amino acid sequence of VH is shown in SEQ ID NO:8, the amino acid sequence of VL is shown in SEQ ID NO:11). Different anti-CD19 humanized scFvs were combined with CD8α guide chain signal peptide (as shown in SEQ ID NO:33), CD8 hinge region (as shown in SEQ ID NO:29), CD8 transmembrane region (as shown in SEQ ID NO:30), 4-1BB intracellular domain (as shown in SEQ ID NO:31) and CD3ζ (as shown in SEQ ID NO:23). (As shown in NO:32) CAR genes were constructed together, and different anti-CD19 CAR genes were constructed into different lentiviral master plasmids (manufacturer: SBI, catalog number: CD500-CD800, as described in Example 1 of WO2021 / 121227 for routine resistance modification) to obtain CAR expression vectors. The master plasmids and three packaging plasmids (pMD2.G (purchased from Biovector, product number Biovector012259), pMDLg / pRRE (purchased from Biovector, product number Biovector012251), and pRSV-Rev (purchased from Biovector, product number Biovector012253)) were co-transfected into 293T cells. Lentiviral viruses containing different anti-CD19-CARs were collected for infecting T cells.
[0301] 2. Preparation of different humanized anti-CD19 CAR-T cells
[0302] The T cell culture medium was Optimizer basal medium supplemented with OpTmizer amplification additive, ISR and GlutaMAX (commercially available), and cytokines IL-7 (10 ng / mL) and IL-15 (5 ng / mL) were added.
[0303] PBMC cells were resuscitated on day -1;
[0304] On day 0, T cells in PBMCs were sorted with CD4 magnetic beads and CD8 magnetic beads, and T cells were activated with Thermo CD3 / CD28 activation magnetic beads.
[0305] On day 1, T cells were infected with different humanized anti-CD19-CAR lentiviruses in groups CNCT19, Q11, Q14, Q23, Q33, Q54, GS32, GS21, and GS22.
[0306] T cell culture medium was added every 2-3 days according to the culture status. Samples were taken and counted to detect cell viability and CD19-CAR positivity. After culturing for 9 days, CAR-T cells (humanized Q11 CAR-T cells, Q14 CAR-T cells, Q23 CAR-T cells, Q33 CAR-T cells, Q54 CAR-T cells, GS32 CAR-T cells, GS21 CAR-T cells, GS22 CAR-T cells and one type of mouse-derived CNCT19 CAR-T cells) were harvested and subjected to in vitro functional testing.
[0307] After humanizing the CNCT19 sequence, Q11, Q14, Q23, Q33, Q54, GS32, GS21, and GS22 were selected for a series of experimental functional verifications. The experimental results are shown in Figures 1-5.
[0308] 1. Detection of CAR-T positive ratio in CAR-T cells
[0309] Eight types of humanized CAR-T cells and one type of mouse-derived CNCT19 CAR-T cells obtained in Example 1 were mixed with CD19 antigen-conjugated PE fluorescein and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation, and the CAR molecule positive ratio of various cells was detected by flow cytometry at different days after transduction (Day 3, Day 6 and Day 9). The detection results are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2: except for the poor CAR positive rate expression of Q23 structure (Q23 CAR-T cells), the expression of other structures was normal; except for the low CAR expression MFI (mean fluorescence intensity) of Q23 structure (Q23 CAR-T cells), the expression of other structures was normal.
[0310] 2. In vitro killing of CAR-T cells (short-term)
[0311] 1. Target cell plating
[0312] 1.1 Target cell preparation:
[0313] 1.1.1 Target cells are in good logarithmic growth phase with a cell viability of over 85%.
[0314] 1.1.2 Count the target cells according to the standard cell counting procedure. Take 2×10⁶ target cells (Nalm6, K562-CD19, MM.1S, K562-BCMA) into a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 300g for 8min, remove the supernatant, and resuspend the target cells in TO medium (X-Vivo medium + 5% inactivated FBS + 1% GlutaMax) until the cell density is 2×10⁵ cells / ml.
[0315] 1.1.3 Carefully transfer the diluted target cells into a sterile sample loading trough, and add the target cells to a black-bottomed transparent 96-well plate using a multi-channel pipette, 50μL / well.
[0316] 1.2 Effector cell plating
[0317] 1.2.1 Effector cell preparation: Calculate the cell dosage according to the effector-target ratio of 9:1, 3:1, and 1:1, which are 9×10⁴ cells, 3×10⁴ cells, and 1×10⁴ cells, respectively. Count the effector cells, take the required number of CAR-T cell samples into a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 300g for 8min, and discard the supernatant.
[0318] 1.2.2 Resuspend the CAR-T cells in TO medium (X-Vivo medium + 5% inactivated FBS + 1% GlutaMax), and adjust the effector cell density according to the effector-to-target ratio.
[0319] 1.2.3 Add effector cells to the well plates at effector-to-target ratios of 9:1, 3:1, and 1:1, 50μL / well.
[0320] 1.3 Target cell control group setup
[0321] Add 50μL of target cells and 50μL of TO medium (X-Vivo medium + 5% inactivated FBS + 1% GlutaMax) to the wells of the target cell control group, so that the total culture volume of the target cell control group is consistent with the total culture volume of the co-culture experimental group.
[0322] 2. Detection of lucif value
[0323] 2.1 Cell co-culture: Place the 96-well plate with the sample added in a carbon dioxide incubator and co-culture for 4 hours.
[0324] 2.2 Addition of detection reagent: Melt steadyglo luciferase (commercially available) at 4°C or room temperature in the dark. Dilute the steadyglo required for the experiment with PBS 3 times and mix well. Add 50 μL to each well and place on a 96-well plate shaker. Shake at 100 rpm for 15 min.
[0325] 2.3 Detection on the instrument: Turn on the multi-mode microplate reader and computer software. Place the shaken 96-well plate into the multi-mode microplate reader and detect the lucif fluorescence intensity. Remove the 96-well plate and turn off the instrument and computer.
[0326] 3. Calculation of Cell Killing Activity
[0327] After obtaining the luc values of all wells, the killing activity was calculated according to the following formula
[0328] Cell killing activity = (average luc value of individual target cell group - luc value of co-culture well) / average luc value of individual target cell group × 100%
[0329] The detection results are shown in Figure 3: There was no significant difference in the killing activity of CAR-T cells against target cells Nalm6 in all groups.
[0330] 3. Cytokine detection instructions 20 / 24 pages 25 CN 122302079 A
[0331] 1. CAR-T cells and target cells were mixed at an effector-target ratio of 1:1
[0332] 2. Incubated in carbon dioxide medium for 24 hours
[0333] 3. After incubation, centrifuged at 500g for 10 minutes and collected the supernatant
[0334] 4. The concentration of cytokines in the supernatant was detected using the Human Th1 Panel (5-Plex) with Filter Plate V02 kit.
[0335] The detection results are shown in Figures 4A and 4B: The IL-2 release of CAR-T cells from humanized structures Q11, Q14, Q33, Q54, GS32, GS21 and other groups was higher than that of mouse CNCT19. The IFN-γ release of humanized CAR-T cells from the Q11, Q33, GS32, and GS21 groups was higher than that of the mouse-derived CNCT19. This experimental result indicates that the humanization modification of the mouse antibody in this application improved the antibody affinity, thereby making the humanized CAR-T cells of this application higher than those of the mouse-derived CNCT19 in terms of IL-2 release and IFN-γ release.
[0336] 4. Multiple rounds of stimulation
[0337] 1. CAR-T cells and target cells were mixed at an effector-to-target ratio of 1:1 and a cell number of 0.5×106:0.5×106
[0338] 2. Every 2 days, the number of CAR-T cells was detected, and 0.5×106 CAR-T cells were taken and 0.5×106 target cells were added
[0339] 3. After 4 rounds of target cell stimulation, the expansion fold of CAR-T cells was calculated.
[0340] The detection results are shown in Figure 5: After four rounds of target cell stimulation, the CAR-T amplification fold of humanized structures Q11, Q33, and GS21 was consistent with that of the mouse-derived structure CNCT19.
[0341] In addition, the humanization scores of the VH and VL chains of CD19 were scored using three biological computer tools: T20 score, HS score, and QASis. The scores of the three tools were consistent, with Q11, Q14, Q23, Q33, Q54, GS32, GS21, and GS22 showing higher humanization scores compared to the mouse-derived CNCT19 (see Figure 6). The immunogenicity of the humanized antibodies was predicted using two immunogenicity prediction tools, Alpha MHC v2 and CD4 T cell Immunogenicity prediction tool. The prediction results were basically consistent, showing that Q11, Q14, Q23, Q33, Q54, and GS21 had the lowest immunogenicity risk (see Figure 7).
[0342] The immunogenicity of antibody drugs may trigger an anti-drug immune response in the body, thereby inducing the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). The immunogenicity of antibodies is mainly evaluated by the method of anti-drug antibody (ADA) analysis. The immunogenicity of CAR-T causes an anti-CAR immune response, which in turn destroys and eliminates CAR-T cells, and is one of the factors for CAR-T treatment failure. The scFv used in CAR-T contains mouse-derived sequences, which is an important factor in generating anti-CAR immune responses. Humanizing mouse-derived scFvs to avoid anti-CAR immune responses related to such mouse-derived scFvs is an important strategy, but whether the antibody functional reduction or loss can be avoided during the modification process is the key to the success or failure of this strategy.
[0343] Based on the in vitro functional data of different humanized CD19 CAR-Ts, combined with the antibody humanization degree score and antibody immunogenicity prediction data, the Q33 and GS21 sequences have better CAR positive rate expression, higher in vitro killing activity and cytokine release, and lower immunogenicity. We selected the Q33 and GS21 sequences to construct a dual-target CAR-T for further validation.
[0344] Example 2, Preparation and Screening Verification of BCMA-CD19 Bispecific CAR-T Cells
[0345] 1. Construction of Humanized Anti-CD19 / BCMA-CAR and Lentiviral Packaging

[0352] T cell culture medium was added every 2-3 days according to the culture status. After culturing to 9, CAR-T cells (02G CAR-T cells, 02G-Q33 CAR-T cells, Q33-02G CAR-T cells, 02G-GS21 CAR-T cells and GS21-02G CAR-T cells, respectively) were harvested. The positive rates of CD19-CAR and BCMA-CAR were detected and in vitro functional tests were performed. The experimental results are shown in Figures 8-18.

[0355] 2. In vitro killing of CAR-T cells (short time)
